WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAWApril 9th 2012- Alex Riley Defeated Darren Young w/ Titus O’Neil - Kofi Kingston & R-Truth Defeated Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks
Before the opening of Monday Night RAW we get a recap from the end of last week’s show with John Cena calling out The Rock only to get met by the returning Brock Lesnar who proceeded to F-5 Cena, standing tall as RAW came to an end. CUE OPENING VIDEO PACKAGEThe initial pyrotechnics hit as we kick off Monday Night RAW, heading down to ringside and our announce team of Michael Cole and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. They immediately bring up last week’s show and the shocking return of Brock Lesnar. They reveal that Brock Lesnar is in the arena here tonight. They announce a rematch from last week with CM Punk defending the WWE Championship against Mark Henry following Henry’s count out victory of the champion. They are cut off by the music of the general manager of RAW and SmackDown John Laurinaitis who makes his way to the ring alongside his legal counsel David Otunga. John Laurinaitis and David Otunga hit the ring, both men ignoring the boos as Laurinaitis grins. He says thank you to the WWE universie for making last week, the first of his permanent regime, such a massive success. He says that he is a man of the people and that since the people loved RAW so much, they clearly love him! This draws boos but Laurinaitis seems oblivious. He’s either completely oblivious, or a great actor. He goes on to talk about how the people want legitimacy, they want star power and they want the face of this company to be somebody that they can believe in, which is why he went out and found somebody who can be all of those things and more. Laurinaitis introduces that man – Brock Lesnar! Lesnar hits the rings to a mix of cheers and boos. People are excited to have him back but hate that he’s aligned himself with John Laurinaitis. Lesnar begins talking about how the WWE needs legitimacy and that he is the most legitimate man who has ever been inside this ring. He begins talking about John Cena but is cut off my the theme of the man himself, John Cena meeting Brock Lesnar in the ring. Laurinaitis tells Cena to leave, warning him not to lay a hand on Lesnar. Cena doesn’t listen though, slapping Lesnar across the face which leads to a full blown brawl in the middle of the ring. During the scuffle Cena is caught by a right hook that causes him to bleed from the mouth before the pair are broken up by a host of agents and half of the WWE roster. Lesnar is lead up the ramp wth Laurinaitis behind him while Cena watches him from the ring, spitting blood onto the mat. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to RAW and enter the office of RAW general manager John Laurinaitis, who is furious about John Cena interrupting his big moment just minutes ago. He calls his new ‘assistant’ Theodore Long into the office, telling him to go and bring John Cena to him. Long begrudgingly leaves to carry out the request after Laurinaitis throws in a snide little comment about Long’s grandchildren. As Long leaves The Miz enters wanting to know why he isn’t on the show tonight. He says that he is the man responsible for Laurinaitis having total control and that he did that because he was promised the time he deserves. Laurinaitis says that he’s had his hands tied up this week but promises The Miz that he has big plans for him. The Miz tells him that he’d better keep his word because he won’t sit around on the sidelines. The Miz walks out as we return to ringside. 1.) Santino Marella & Brodus Clay Defeated Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger w/ Vickie Guerrero. This one stemmed out of these two teams confrontation last week on RAW as Brodus Clay came to Santino Marella’s assistance. A decent contest and it was good to see Clay get some ring time beyond a simple squash match. Ziggler and Swagger worked down Marella before he made the hot tag and Clay ran through both men, pinning Swagger following the Ah Funk It!Dolph Ziggler pulls Jack Swagger out of the ring while Santino Marella, Brodus Clay and his dancers begin dancing in the centre of the ring as we cut backstage. We return to the general manager’s office where John Laurinaitis is texting away. The door opens and Theodore Long enters, Laurinaitis angrily asking where John Cena is. Long looks to the door as John Cena walks in, his mouth still stained with blood. He asks Laurinaitis whether he is happy. He says that Laurinaitis wanted legitimacy, that he wanted to bring somebody in to take him out and so he went out and got a war machine. He again asks if Laurinaitis is happy. Laurinaitis says he is, because he is giving the fans what he wants. Cena says that the fans want to see him kick Laurinaitis’ ass! Laurinaitis says that if Cena puts a hand on him then he’ll be fired on the spot, then proceeds to announce that he will be facing former World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan in tonight’s main event. Cena says that’s fine. He says he’ll show everybody exactly how legitimate he can be. Cena storms off as Laurinaitis asks Theodore Long what he’s looking at. Long shrugs and walks out of the office as we fade out. COMMERCIAL BREAKA video package airs promoting the WWE draft coming on a special three hour Monday Night RAW the night after Extreme Rules! 2.) Lord Tensai w/ Sakamoto Defeated Yoshi Tatsu. Following Tensai’s debut last week Yoshi Tatsu went on Twitter and challenged him, leading to this match. Tatsu may have had something to fight for but it didn’t mean he had a chance as Tensai squashed him, finishing him off with the Tensai Bomb! There were a few ‘boring’ chants during this one.Following the match Lord Tensai spits the mist onto his hand and locks in the vice-like claw on Tatsu, choking out Yoshi Tatsu. Tensai stood tall as we cut backstage. We head to the corridors where Santino Marella is looking around for tonight’s special guests The Three Stooges. He asks a number of people before running into Daniel Bryan. Bryan is silent for a moment before calling Marella a pathetic joke and walking off. We cut away as Santino Marella continues on his search. Moving to the locker room of Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger the two are arguing over their earlier loss to Santino Marella and Brodus Clay. They are interrupted by Vickie Guerrero, who starts screeching about how they are meant to be a team, not fighting with each other. She tells them that they need to get things back on track which is why she has talked to Mr. Laurinaitis and gotten them a number one contenders match next week against Kofi Kingston & R-Truth, a fact that seems to appease Ziggler and Swagger somewhat. Vickie Guerrero says that soon the greatest tag team in the WWE will also be the WWE Tag Team Champions. The three keep talking as we cut to commercials. COMMERCIAL BREAKAs we return we are shown a video package recapping last week’s WWE Championship match between CM Punk and the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry. The match ended with Henry victorious via count out, meaning CM Punk retained the title but Mark Henry got a rematch. It goes on to show Chris Jericho’s vicious attack on CM Punk as he poured whiskey over him and then smashed a bottle over his head. CM Punk defends the WWE Championship against Mark Henry right now! 3. WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) Mark Henry Defeated CM Punk via Disqualification; CM Punk retains the WWE Championship. After CM Punk was counted out last week on RAW Mark Henry was given this second chance at becoming the WWE Champion. These two went back and forth for a good while pulling off a great technique vs. power matchup with Henry coming close to taking the WWE Championshp on more than one occasion before Punk rallied back and took control. It was at this point that Chris Jericho came out, mocking Punk from the ramp regarding his attack last week. Punk snapped, grabbing a steel chair from ringside and unloading on Mark Henry, causing the referee to disqualify the champions.CM Punk doesn’t stop there, continuing to unload on Mark Henry with the steel chair until Chris Jericho got his attention once again, asking Punk if he is drunk? Jericho says that he certainly has the anger of an alcoholic and takes credit for leading Punk down the route to his own destruction. CM Punk is given a microphone as Mark Henry is helped out of the ring and tells Chris Jericho that he crossed a line last week. He says that before it was just about proving that he is the best in the world. He says he could understand Jericho being jealous and that he didn’t care about that, but that now he cares. Punk says now Jericho has pushed him too far and it isn’t about proving who the best is, it’s about kicking Chris Jericho’s ass. Jericho tells him to bring it on, saying that if Punk wants him then all he has to do is ask. Punk shouts that he isn’t asking, he’s demanding. Chris Jericho tells him to be careful what he wishes for, walking backstage as Punk shouts at him to face him as RAW fades out. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return backstage where Santino Marella is still looking for the Three Stooges to little success. He ends up finding Hornswoggle instead and enlists the small man in helping him open a large box marked ‘fragile’. The two open the box and out pops the Three Stooges, Santino freaking out about meeting them because they are of course ‘big in Italy’ although from the silence in the arena they aren’t big with the WWE universe. We get some typical Stooge like comedy with Santino and Hornswoggle before Santino says he can’t wait to see what they’ve got for RAW tonight. The Stooges realize they don’t have a plan and start freaking out as we cut away. We return to the office of general manager John Laurinaitis where the WWE Tag Team Champions Epico & Primo barge in with Rosa Mendes. Laurinaitis shouts at Theodore Long, telling him he was meant to keep people out. Epico & Primo ask why they haven’t been on TV, they’re the WWE Tag Team Champions and deserve to be in that ring. Laurinaitis says that he has a lot of talent to juggle and that they’ll get their time when they’re ready. Epico says they wouldn’t be the champions if they weren’t ready, telling Laurinaitis that he is going to find that out whether it’s in a match or otherwise. They storm out and Laurinaitis warns Theodore Long to do a better job in future. 4.) Beth Phoenix Defeated Kelly Kelly. Following Beth Phoenix’s embarrassing loss at WrestleMania this was a chance for the Diva’s Champion to get some dignity back and she did so in style, controlling the match and putting Kelly Kelly away with the Glam Slam.Following the match Beth Phoenix picks up Kelly Kelly and delivers a second, devastating Glam Slam. She demands a microphone and says that she is tired of being embarrassed, tired of being held back by this company and their fixation with the pretty blondes like Kelly Kelly. She says that if you thought she was dominant before that you haven’t seen anything yet. She drops the microphone, grabs Kelly and delivers yet another Glam Slam. Beth holds up the Diva’s Championship as we go to a commercial break. COMMERCIAL BREAKRAW returns from commercials to a video package highlighting the classic contest we witnessed at WrestleMania between The Undertaker and Triple H. It is intercut with comments from WWE wrestlers who talk about how the match will be talked about for years to come. We return to ringside where Moe and Curly of the Three Stooges make their way to the ring to a completely dead crowd. We then get the ‘real American’ theme as Larry makes his way to the ring impersonating Hulk Hogan to some boos from those who care enough to make a sound. They do some traditional Stooges comedy to hype their movie before Kane’s music hits and the Devil’s Favourite Demon makes his way to the ring. Moe and Curly bail while Larry attempts to hulk up. He gets chokeslammed instead which gets the best pop of the segment. A SmackDown recap airs focusing on the match between World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio with Del Rio getting Sheamus disqualified and getting a World Heavyweight Championship match out of it. It is announced that tomorrow night on Super SmackDown Live Sheamus will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio! COMMERCIAL BREAKJosh Matthews is standing backstage with Brock Lesnar and asks him whether he is proud to be back in WWE. Lesnar says that he is won’t be proud to be back until he is at the very top of this company once again with the WWE Championship around his waist. He says that he left the World Wrestling Entertainment at the top of his game because there was nothing else for him to do. He says that he went to the UFC and became the top man in that company as well. Brock Lesnar says that he was happy when John Laurinaitis called him and askes him to add legitimacy to the WWE just like he did eight years ago, but is he proud? No. He won’t be proud until he is the WWE Champion once again and as soon as he’s finished with John Cena that is what he’ll be gunning for. 5.) Zack Ryder Defeated Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes has been on a bit of a rut since losing his Intercontinental Champion to Big Show at WrestleMania 28 and was looking to get back on track against Zack Ryder here tonight. Unfortunately Big Show again made an appearance and replayed the WrestleMania 28 clip of Rhodes losing. Rhodes was furious but turned straight into the Rough Ryder to take the loss.Big Show has again cost Cody Rhodes his match here tonight on RAW! The Intercontinental Champion grins from the ramp as we fade backstage. We cut to a split screen of the corridor where John Cena and Daniel Bryan are heading towards the ring. John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan is up next! COMMERCIAL BREAK6.) John Cena Defeated Daniel Bryan via Disqualification. Two men who have had a very eventful few weeks faced off in tonight’s main event and it was certainly one to watch. Cena was a lot more aggressive than we are used to seeing as he went after Bryan and didn’t really let up. Daniel Bryan has proved himself more than capable of matching the very best in the company when given the chance and he did it again here tonight but he just couldn’t get the job done against an intense John Cena. In the end Cena lifted Bryan up for the Attitude Adjustment when Brock Lesnar came out of nowhere with a low blow from behind, resulting in the disqualification.John Cena drops to the mat with Daniel Bryan quickly making his exit from the ring leaving just Cena and the war machine that is Brock Lesnar. Lesnar lifts Cena up to his feet and then up onto his shoulders before dropping Cena with the F-5. For the second week running RAW came to a close with Brock Lesnar standing tall over John Cena.

WWE News: Extreme Rules Update, WWE Draft, Diva’s Division Notes & More...- As announced officially on WWE.COM Brock Lesnar will step back into the ring for the first time since returning to World Wrestling Entertainment when he faces off with John Cena. As stipulated by John Laurinaitis the match will be contested under Extreme Rules. On top of that CM Punk defending the WWE Championship against Chris Jericho inside of a Steel Cage was announced during Monday Night RAW. - During Monday Night RAW the annual WWE draft was announced for the April 30th edition of RAW, which will be a three hour special. It is important to note that all future advertised editions of RAW do not hold the Supershow moniker and recent reports are that WWE are looking to enforce the brand split more in upcoming months in the hope that it will help them build more stars. - There’s a lot of talk amongst creative that the Diva’s division is at a low right now and that something needs to be done to change that which would explain the Beth Phoenix segment from Monday’s RAW. With the likes of Laya and Kharma expected to return to the ring soon creative see those three as being the building blocks for the Diva’s division going forward. There has also been talk of bringing in a number of new female wrestlers from the independent scene with at least two contracts having reportedly been offered in the past few days. - The official WWE website has confirmed that CM Punk will defend the WWE Championship against Mark Henry in a no disqualifications, no count out match next week on Monday Night RAW. Dolph Ziggler & Kofi Kingston against Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger in a number one contenders match to the WWE Tag Team Championship has also been confirmed. - There’s been some interest within WWE of bringing Brian Kendrick back into the company and potentially teaming him up with a currently undecided development talent. One idea was to pit Brian Kendrick with Seth Rollins but as of this point no talks have been made between the two parties. - Dean Ambrose posted the following message on Twitter last night – ‘Heading down to Hampton to teach an old fool some respect’. Tonight’s Super SmackDown Live is taking place in Hampton and Mick Foley, who Ambrose has been having a war of words on Twitter with, is advertised to appear.

It's good but I don't like how you're basically doing everything that's happening on TV right now and almost in the same ways. Punk vs Henry, Brock low blowing Cena, etc...I'd suggest putting your own spin on it but good show none the less.

Punk vs Henry, Brock low blowing Cena, etc...I'd suggest putting your own spin on it but good show none the less. You have to realize that It's common to continue on with how WWE is approaching a storyline. A persons real creativity tends to shine following the first pay-per-view. Liked the main event of Daniel Bryan vs John Cena, Dale. Probably could have been saved for an eventual feud in the future so they could use the "first time ever" approach but ah well. Mark Henry has been great recently in the WWE Title picture and I'm kind of hoping you have a triple threat for the belt at Extreme Rules.

WWE SUPER SMACKDOWN LIVEApril 10th 2012- The Uso’s Defeated Hunico & Camacho - William Regal Defeated Tyson KiddCUE OPENING VIDEO PACKAGEThe pyrotechnics hit as a special Super SmackDown Live kicks off and we head down to ringside where Michael Cole, Josh Matthews and Booker T are behind the announce desk. They hype up tonight’s big show that will not only feature some faces from the past but also a huge World Heavyweight Championship match as Sheamus defends against Alberto Del Rio. Also we will get the return of Piper’s Pit with guest Daniel Bryan. Michael Cole brings up that John Laurinaitis has asked Booker T to be in his ring gear, which must mean something great is going to happen. Booker says the only great thing that could happen is if he gets to beat on Michael Cole tonight. They are cut off by the music of General Manager John Laurinaitis as the man himself makes his way to the ring. John Laurinaitis thanks everyone for coming out to his special Super SmackDown Live. In a repeat of last night the crowd boo him but he ignores it. Laurinaitis says that he has brought some of the greatest legends here tonight as a way to really begin his tenure as general manager with a bang. He looks over at the announce desk and Booker T in particular. He brings up Booker’s meeting with the board of directors this past weekend, saying that they didn’t fire Booker like he had requested. He then says that since this is a blast from the past show Booker T will be competing in the opening match of the night. He says he did the nice thing and told Booker to wear his ring gear since he’s such a nice general manager. He then moves on to last week and calls out Sheamus. The World Heavyweight Champion makes his way out to the ring, knowing what this is about. He tries to talk but Laurinaitis asks him to remain silent. He shows a replay of last week where Sheamus hit the Brogue Kick on a referee, leaving out the bit where Alberto Del Rio cheated to win. Laurinaitis demands that Sheamus apologise for his actions. Sheamus proceeds to apologise, saying that he let his tempter get the better of him and that he knows he shouldn’t have taken it out on the referee even though he made a stupid decision. Laurinaitis says that he didn’t sound sincere, forcing Sheaumus to apologise again. Laurinaitis warns Sheamus that if it happens again not only will he be stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship but he’ll also be suspended indefinitely. Laurinaitis begins to leave before adding that he is fining Sheamus $500,000. Sheamus freaks out, shouting at Laurinaitis to keep walking as the general manager heads backstage. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to Super SmackDown Live and the backstage area, where Jim Duggan is seen talking Hillbilly Jim, getting a decent pop. The two keep talking when the WWE Tag Team Champions Epico and Primo, along with Rosa, walk up to them, angry that once again they haven’t got a match because all of these old has-beens are taking up their time. They tell Duggan and Jim to go back to the old people’s home before Duggan drops his classic line at Rosa, calling her a ‘Hoooooo!’ which gets a great pop from ringside. Epico and Primo look set to attack the legends when Sgt. Slaughter appears from behind them, knocking the tag team champions heads together and sending them packing, Slaughter laughing with Jim Duggan and Hillbilly Jim as we return to ringside. We return to the ring where Booker T is already waiting for his opponent, having been ordered to wrestle by John Laurinaitis. Booker, in full ring gear, seems pumped before the music of his opponent hits – the World’s Strongest Man, Mark Henry! 1.) Mark Henry Defeated Booker T. With under a week before Mark Henry gets a no disqualification, no count out WWE Championship match against CM Punk he got this match against SmackDown commentator Booker T. Booker put up a solid fight against Mark Henry but this is the World’s Strongest Man, he controlled the majority of the match and eventually put Booker T away with the World’s Strongest Slam to the delight of Michael Cole. Mark Henry isn’t just done with the victory however, looking to send a statement to WWE Champion CM Punk ahead of his title challenge this Monday on RAW. Henry grabs Booker T, lifts him up and drops him once again with the World’s Strongest Slam. Mark Henry stands tall as we cut backstage. In the office of the general manager John Laurinaitis is shouting at Theodore Long for bringing him lukewarm coffee. They are interrupted by Ted DiBiase and his father, the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase Snr. The younger DiBiase is giving his father a tour around SmackDown and he reluctantly introduces him to Laurinaitis. The Million Dollar Man takes no interest in Laurinaitis himself, but promptly offers him $100,000 dollars for the general manager’s spot. Laurinaitis seems tempted but then refuses. DiBiase ups his offer but Laurinaitis tells him to get out of his office. The DiBiase’s are escorted outside by security as the Million Dollar Man threatens that everybody has a price! COMMERCIAL BREAKWe cut to the ring where Cody Rhodes is standing. He talks about tonight, saying that he doesn’t have a match because all of these so called Legends are taking up the time that should be used for the future of this industry such as him. Rhodes says that in that future he will once again be the Intercontinental Champion. He is soon interrupted by his own father, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes who gets a nice pop. Dusty tells Cody that he is certainly talented but that he’s never going to get anywhere with his attitude. Rhodes tells his old man to shut up before he shuts him up, but the pair are interrupted by Big Show. Big Show shows off another embarrassing clip from back in Cody’s ‘Dashing’ days. Show says that’s embarrassing before heading to the back. Cody is furious and leaves the room as everyone chants for Dusty. We cut to a video package promoting the history of Piper’s Pit. Tonight Daniel Bryan will be the guest on Piper’s Pit! 2.) Ryback Defeated Benny Camer. The most interesting thing about this match was the likes of Tony Atlas, Pat Patterson and Ted DiBiase watching backstage. DiBiase offers a million to one odds but nobody is stupid enough to take it and rightfully so. Ryback tore through Camer, putting him down with Payback in no time at all. We return backstage where Randy Orton is talking with his father ‘Cowboy’ Bob Orton about his upcoming match with Drew McIntyre. The two are joking around and Bob Orton wishes his son luck for his match. Randy says it’s not like he needs it and the two hug before Orton heads off towards ringside. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe head backstage where Mark Henry is in his locker room, cooling down following his impressive victory over Booker T earlier tonight. In walks Abraham Washington who congratulates Mark Henry on his victory and asks him whether he has thought about his offer from last week. Henry asks him why he needs him when he’s gotten himself two WWE Championship matches in as many weeks. Washington asks him why he isn’t holding the title right now? Mark Henry says that come Monday he will be. Washington says he’ll be watching, then hands him a card and tells him to call him if it doesn’t go to plan. Washington walks out, leaving Henry looking at the card as we return to the ring. 3.) Randy Orton Defeated Drew McIntyre. Randy Orton came out here thinking that his problems with Kane were all over and was definitely focused on this match while Drew McIntyre is still looking to take that big next step. This was a fantastic match full of action and near falls and it honestly looked like McIntyre could have won this one even against someone with as much momentum as Orton. In the end Orton connected with the RKO to take the win. As Randy Orton begins to celebrate his win the voice of Kane echoes out across the arena, drawing all eyes towards the big screen. Kane is standing there, taunting Randy and saying that he had a nice chat with Randy’s father. The screen pulls out to show Bob Orton Jr. laid out on the locker room floor. Randy quickly makes his exit and sprints up the ramp backstage as Kane laughs maniacally. The RAW rebound airs, focusing on the altercations between John Cena and Brock Lesnar and the announcement that the pair will face off in an Extreme Rules match at the titular pay per view. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return backstage where Randy Orton is shown sprinting into his locker room, finding his father laid out on the floor. Orton rushes over to him but is attacked from behind by Kane, who throws him into a wall and then chokeslams him onto the concrete floor. Michael Cole mentions how Randy has a long standing back injury and that Kane’s attack isn’t going to help that. Kane laughs, telling Randy that they are not done. He says at Extreme Rules he’ll leave him lying just like he has tonight and be the last man standing. He continues to laugh as he walks off leaving both Randy and his father lying. We return to ringside where the ring is set up for Piper’s Pit. Inside the ring Howard Finkel proceeds to introduce the man himself – ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper. Piper makes his way down to the ring to a massive reaction from the crowd. He enters the ring and begins talking about Daniel Bryan. He shows a video of him breaking up with AJ last week and calls him a vile little man. He says that unlike wrestlers like Bryan he deals with these kind of people head on and proceeds to call Daniel Bryan down to the ring. Bryan comes out and chants ‘Yes’ as he comes down the ramp, the crowd cheering just as loudly. Daniel Bryan squares up to Roddy Piper who tells Bryan that he seems pretty happy for a guy who lost the World Heavyweight Championship in eighteen seconds. Daniel Bryan says that his WrestleMania loss was because of AJ and then announces that he has used his rematch clause for a rematch at Extreme Rules. He says that he gets to choose the stipulation and that at Extreme Rules he will make Sheamus tap and take his title back in a submission match! He says that this time AJ won’t be able to ruin things for him. Roddy Piper says that only a coward blames a woman for his mistakes and says that it’s worse when he does it behind someone’s back. He asks AJ to come to the ring. She slowly makes her way out as the fans chant ‘eighteen seconds’. AJ gets into the ring and once again apologizes for costing Daniel Bryan the match. Piper interrupts, saying that AJ has nothing to apologize for – a real World Champion wouldn’t have been so damn stupid. Daniel Bryan tells Piper to shut up. Piper says nobody has ever spoken to him that way and gotten away with it. Daniel Bryan says that he doesn’t want to hurt an old man and then tells AJ to leave because she doesn’t deserve to be inside a WWE ring. AJ tells Bryan that she’s sorry for costing him the match but that she’s worked hard to get into the WWE and he can’t take that away from her. Piper tells her she deserves to be here but Bryan interrupts, shouting at AJ to go and never come back. AJ slaps him in the face as the crowd cheer. Daniel Bryan goes to grab her but Piper steps in the way, saying that a man doesn’t put a hand on a lady. Daniel Bryan goes to punch Piper but the Scot blocks the blow and knocks Bryan to the ground with a right hand. Daniel Bryan rolls out of the ring as Piper raises AJ’s hand in the ring. Bryan leaves seething as we fade out. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to Super SmackDown Live as the music of Mick Foley rings out over the speakers, the crowd popping loudly as the WWE legend makes his way down to the ring. He joins commentary for the next match. Heath Slater comes out for his match but stops on the ramp. He says that one of the most legendary managers of all time came to him backstage and asked to work with him tonight because this man sees that he has the potential to be a future World Heavyweight Champion. Slater proceeds to introduce his manager for tonight – ‘The mouth of the south’ Jimmy Hart! 4.) Heath Slater w/ Jimmy Hart Defeated Trent Barreta. A solid display by Heath Slater here as he seemed buoyed by the presence of Jimmy Hart at ringside. Throughout the match Hart had a number of funny interactions with Mick Foley. This one was short and sweet with Slater hitting the E-Minor to take the win. Following the match Jimmy Hart and Heath Slater celebrate in the ring while Mick Foley thanks the announce team for having him for this match. He gets up and begins walking around the stage when he seems to spot someone at ringside. Suddenly the scruffy haired man leaps over the security barricade and launches himself at Foley, knocking him to the ground and attacking him before he is pulled back by security. Security pull him back while a medic checks on Foley who has been cut open by the attack. The man screams that Foley is ‘going to get everything he deserves’ as we fade out. COMMERCIAL BREAKUpon returning we get another video from Damien Sandow. This week he is talking about sophistication and the lack of it in modern culture. He says that while the rest of society is floundering he will be the beacon of light in an otherwise dark abyss. 5.) Beth Phoenix Defeated Alicia Fox w/ Mae Young. Following her declaration to be taken more seriously Beth Phoenix certainly had to back that up here. Alicia had legendary women’s wrestler Alicia Fox in her corner here but it did her no good as Beth put her down with a Glam Slam. Following the match Beth Phoenix grabs Alicia and tries to go to work on her. She is cut off by Mae Young who climbs into the ring and inserts herself between Beth and Alicia. The Diva’s Champion seems to have no problems with attacking a legend as she pushes Mae to the floor when she is cut off by some music that hasn’t been seen in a while. Beth turns to see former Women’s Champion Laya running down the ramp! Layla slides into the ring, ducks under a clothesline by Beth and connects with a dropkick that sends Beth falling out of the ring. Layla and Alicia Fox make sure Mae Young is okay and the legend raises the pairs arms as Beth walks up the ramp having been embarrassed by the returning Layla. We cut backstage where the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus is heading out to the entrance just moments before he defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio. On his way he bumps into a grinning Roddy Piper. The two shake hands and Piper tells Sheamus to kick Daniel Bryan’s smug ass at Extreme Rules. Sheamus says he fully intends to and walks off, leaving Piper grinning as we cut to commercials. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe head to the parking lot where John Laurinaitis is walking towards his limo alongside David Otunga, the two making plans for this coming weeks Monday Night RAW. When they get to Laurinaitis’ limo he tries to open the door but finds it locked. He shouts at the driver to let him in but instead he gets a familiar laugh as Ted DiBiase Sr. pops out through the sunroof. DiBiase cackles and shouts that everybody has a price for the Million Dollar Man as the limo drives off, leaving Laurinaitis watching as Ted DiBiase Sr. leaves with his limo. 6. WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) Sheamus [c] Defeated Alberto Del Rio w/ Ricardo Rodriguez. After Alberto Del Rio stole the victory last week on SmackDown he earned this World Heavyweight Championship match but also earned the fury of a man who is intense at the best of times. Sheamus and Del Rio had a terrific back and forth match and while everybody seemed to believe going into it that Sheamus was walking away with the World Heavyweight Championship there was a very real feeling during the match that Del Rio could have taken it. With the constant interference from Ricardo Sheamus was at a disadvantage until he blasted him with a Brogue Kick, ducked under a clothesline and then blasted Del Rio with a Brogue Kick to take the victory. Sheamus is handed the World Heavyweight Championship as he begins celebrating the victory before being attacked from behind by Daniel Bryan. Sheamus quickly fights back but is caught off guard by the numbers game as Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez join in, the three men going to work on the World Heavyweight Champion. The odds were soon evened though as Roddy Piper lead an assortment of legends down to the ring. Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio bailed out of the ring leaving Ricardo Rodriguez to the mercy of the legends as all of them hit their finishers on Ricardo before Sheamus locked in a modified Texas Cloverleaf sending a message to Daniel Bryan that he has his own submission in his arsenal. SmackDown goes off the air with Sheamus celebrating in the ring with the WWE legends.

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 9th April 2012...Alex Riley beating Darren Young is a good sign, hopefully this winning luck streak continues from here. Kofi Kingston and R-Truth then beating Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks was a fair tag team match as well, if only it actually made RAW. It's bad to see Truth and Kofi kooked up on Superstars. John Laurinaitis and David Otunga opening the show was pretty nice, and as expected Brock Lesnar coming out was the right decision to make. Did like what he said to John Cena, and the pull-apart brawl remaining was a right decision to make considering it's probably the biggest notable occurrance to come out of RAW in months. To kick off the show, Santino Marella and Brodus Clay beating Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger was good, liked that you switched Ziggler being pinned with Swagger in the finish too. I wonder where this is headed. Lord Tensai killing Yoshi Tatsu got him over well, nothing to see here. I just hope something good happens with Tensai in future weeks. And up next, great match between CM Punk and Mark Henry with another controversial finish, glad that this match actually went on as their matches on RAW the week prior to this and the week following were both excellent. Of course, I liked the aftermath with Chris Jericho, I feel like Jericho should actually have a match within the next few weeks though, and even have Punk and Jericho main event a RAW for a change, since the WWE Championship has been relegated badly in the last few months to the first hour main event o' doom. Punk and Jericho should definitely main event at Extreme Rules though, being that it's Punk's hometown of Chicago. Beth Phoenix beating Kelly Kelly is good, Beth needs some fresh opponents. I would like to see AJ have a crack at gaining the WWE Divas Championship though. You following the Three Stooges and Kane promo was practically the only good you could make out of this negative situation. Nothing different about Brock Lesnar's promo. Zack Ryder beating Cody Rhodes...shame. Let Cody get on the winning tracks, but I'd rather he didn't regain the WWE Intercontinental Championship from the Big Show in the inevitable rematch in a few weeks. And lastly, love that Daniel Bryan was made as John Cena's opponent, a good ratings drawer, and I loved you sticking to Brock Lesnar attacking Cena. Not a bad show, you made a mediocre real life RAW into an improved RAW, despite only changing several things about it.
WWE News: CM Punk and Chris Jericho in the Steel Cage I expect to be bloody. I'm not a fan of the Draft being existent anymore, I'm satisfied without it, everything's going well. Glad that at least RAW Supershow won't be happening anymore. But with John Laurinaitis as both General Manager of RAW and SmackDown, it still serves no purpose at all. Liking the sound of RAW in the United Kingdom next week. Interested in Brian Kendrick returning to the WWE, but you should forget about teaming him with Seth Rollins, the team will be dead-end and unsatisfactory to both Rollins and Kendrick. If WWE needs Kendrick with someone, it should be Ezekiel Jackson again. Dean Ambrose appearance? Good, I'm really high on him lately.
WWE Super SmackDown: Tuesday 10th April 2012...The Usos beating Hunico and Camacho wasn't all that bad, shame that Hunico and Camacho aren't as respected as they were. William Regal beating Tyson Kidd? Any explanation to that? Regal's the General Manager of NXT playing the babyface role, and Kidd is running the face gimmick on NXT as well. Talk about thrown together. Would still be a good match for Superstars, don't get me wrong. John Laurinaitis opening another live show with a promo? Repetitive in my eyes. Liking his attempted manipulation of Booker T, having him face Mark Henry later on. Sheamus then being called to the ring was cool, and I liked his threat to the World Heavyweight Champion, but apart from that, this promo didn't do a great deal for me. Nostalgic promo with Jim Duggan and Hillbilly Jim regarding Primo and Epico. Meh. Mark Henry with the win against Booker was a good opening contest, got his momentum back well after winning in a sympathetic method last night on RAW. Cody Rhodes and Dusty Rhodes had good chemistry in that segment, well done. Ryback with the win...not a lot to add. Ted Dibiase Sr and his bets were nice. I'm really glad that you had a set-up for Bob Orton Jr getting beaten down by Kane, rather than jumping into it. Randy Orton beating Drew McIntyre was predictable, as first hour main event I feel like this would have been a little too weak, a different opponent would have benefitted better than someone coming out of a massive losing streak. Piper's Pit with Daniel Bryan and AJ was great, glad you kept it like real life, too as it was the only eventful moment from the actual show last week. Not a fan of Roddy Piper knocking Bryan down with a punch though, makes him look weak against Sheamus in a few weeks. Where is Alberto Del Rio fitting into all of this? Trent Barreta is injured, just to note. Good win for Heath Slater, like the pairing of him and Jimmy Hart, if only this were the 90s. Mick Foley on commentary just to get jumped by Dean Ambrose was glorious, very nice and impactful debut. I'd have still rather seen a WrestleMania Axxess replay, with Ambrose confronting Foley at the announce table and accusing him. Looking so forward to Damian Sandow's debut. Beth Phoenix beating Alicia Fox; good. I hate Fox. Layla making her return in a run-in fashion on the live SmackDown is a fantastic decision. Phoenix and Layla at Extreme Rules would be good. Just don't put the WWE Divas Championship on Layla too soon. And lastly, good main event with Sheamus retaining the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio. I'd have loved to see you save this for next week's RAW though, the mini-big feel to a WWE taping in the UK and all. I could see a triple threat between Del Rio, Bryan and Sheamus at Extreme Rules for the World Heavyweight Championship. A pretty decent show overall, a bit better than the original - not so much though. Some things I'd have done differently, but nonetheless, a decent week of television.

Raw: A very similar opening to the one that actually happened. With all the talk about legitimacy, I have a feeling Cena/Brock's match at ER will be like a shoot/MMA kind of fight. Hopefully, The Miz stays in the title picture. He has definitely fallen from it, but hopefully Johnny's big plans put him right back up there. Santino/Brodus winning was expected. I would like to see a Four-Way between these men at ER. Surprised to see Bryan/Cena going at it, not at a PPV. Nice win for Tensai. Hopefully, Tensai moves up toward the title picture. Possibly a split between Swagger & Dolph. I would like to see them split and have Dolph move up in the card. Henry winning via DQ seems alright. Probably going to rematch again next week. Nice setup between Jericho & Punk. I can easily see Punk retaining at ER. Can't wait to see what the Stooges have planned. Hopefully something good. Glad Primo & Epico got some air time. I would really like to see where this goes. Beth winning is good. Looks like she finally has a storyline again. I'm fine with the Stooges segment. Make due with what you got. It was weird that Larry was impersonating Hogan and not Curly, but whatever. I like the sound of Brock going for the title. Brock/Rock II at Summerslam for the title. Yes, please. I'm happy Ryder got the win. It was sad to see him kinda drop out of the US title picture. Hopefully, Ryder gets back up there. Nice ending to Bryan and Cena. No one really one fairly so it leaves the door open down the line. I know Brock seems like a powerhouse, but I see Cena winning at ER.
Smackdown: I love Johnny just ignores the boos and thinks people like him. I'm happy to see we are getting a title match tonight. I'm glad Henry won, but I'm also kinda surprised that he did. Looks like Booker won't be able to commentate the rest of the show. I love how Dibiase wanted that GM spot. Nice to see Ted Jr. get some TV time during his injury. Ryback is a beast. I see big things in this guy's future on Smackdown. A not-so-surprising win for Orton. I'm happy the match at least made McIntyre look good. I'm so disappointed at how far he has fallen. Kane taking out Bob Orton was expected. Nice setup to the Last Man Standing match. I loved Piper's Pit. I really liked Piper in this segment. I wouldn't mind seeing Piper vs. Daniel Bryan next week. I loved the fact that Slater won. I would be happy to see Hart manage him full-time. I have a sneaking suspicion on who that guy was that attacked Foley. Anyway, that was nice setup for Ambrose/Foley. I'm happy to see it take place in WWE and not FCW. Layla is back! I think her and Beth could have a good match at ER. Dibiase taking Johnny's limo is just grand. Sheamus winning was obvious. I just don't know where Del Rio goes from here. Sheamus pulling out his own submission was great. I was hoping he wasn't just going to pull out some random submission during the match to win.
Superstars: I love the fact that A-Ry won. I would love to see him become more than just a jobber. Kofi/Truth winning isn't shocking, but those two have fallen. Nice win for the Uso's. Happy to see Camacho finally in action. Regal beating Kidd, while I'm sure it was a great match, is weird. With Regal running NXT and the fact that both are faces, the match just came across as weird to me.
Overall: Great shows. I like the way you are sticking to basically the same thing WWE is doing, but putting your own little twist on it. I really liked Smackdown. I think you pulled it off the best you could with the Legends. I also enjoyed the fact that the Legends did something and that most of them weren't just in the back watching Ryback. Jolly good, sir.

MONDAY NIGHT RAWApril 16th 2012- Titus O’Neill w/ Darren Young Defeated Alex Riley - Mason Ryan & JTG Defeated Curt Hawkins & Tyler ReksCUE OPENING VIDEO PACKAGEThe usual pyrotechnic displays kick off Monday Night RAW emanating live from the United Kingdom. We head down to the announce team of Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler as they hype up tonight’s huge show featuring a no disqualifications, no count out WWE Championship match between CM Punk and Mark Henry as well as a controversial interview with the war machine Brock Lesnar. The pair are cut off by the music of the WWE Champion CM Punk, the Straight Edge Superstar hitting the ring as RAW really kicks off. CM Punk begins talking about his WWE Championship match tonight where he will be defending the title against the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry. CM Punk admits that people think he is the underdog here tonight, that certain people don’t think he can defeat Mark Henry fairly. CM Punk says that that doesn’t matter here tonight because there is going to be nothing fair about this WWE Championship match. Tonight is a no disqualifications, no count out match. CM Punk says tonight he doesn’t have to follow the rules, he can just hurt Mark Henry and show everyone what he’s going to do to Chris Jericho in two weeks time at Extreme Rules. At the mention of his name Chris Jericho appears on the big screen. He asks CM Punk whether he is drunk, because he has to be drunk if he thinks he is going to beat him at Extreme Rules. Chris Jericho tells CM Punk that at Extreme Rules he is going to become the WWE Champion and send the so called ‘Straight Edge Superstar’ down the long road to alcoholism just like his father because it doesn’t matter what CM Punk says, he knows the truth – Punk is only straight edge because he knows he is too weak to drink and not get addicted. CM Punk tells Chris Jericho to shut his mouth. He reminds Jericho that they haven’t got a stipulation for their WWE Championship match at Extreme Rules yet. Jericho is about to interrupt when Punk screams at him to shut his mouth. CM Punk says that he went over John Laurinaitis’ head and spoke with the COO Triple H and that he knows the stipulation. Punk tells Jericho that there isn’t going to be any way out for Jericho because they will be facing off in a Steel Cage match! Punk tells Jericho that the dark place Jericho has sent him to will be used to end Jericho once and for all. Chris Jericho says it doesn’t matter, because his family will just watch him beat CM Punk from behind the steel. The screen goes dark as CM Punk lifts the WWE Championship in the ring. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to RAW to a recap of what we just saw between CM Punk and Chris Jericho and the announcement that their WWE Championship match at Extreme Rules will be contested inside of a Steel Cage. 1. WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERS MATCH) Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger w/ Vickie Guerrero vs. Kofi Kingston & R-Truth went to a no contest. Our opening contest tonight was announced last week on RAW with the winners scheduled to receive a WWE Tag Team Championship match at Extreme Rules. The match was fast paced with both teams showcasing their stuff early on. The highlight was definitely Ziggler’s selling of a suicide dive from Kofi. With Ziggler and Kofi down on the outside they were suddenly attacked by WWE Tag Team Champions Epico & Primo, forcing the referee to throw the match out. Epico & Primo make sure that Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston are down and out and then slide into the ring, going to work on R-Truth and Jack Swagger. Thanks to their experience as a team the WWE Tag Team Champions quickly take out R-Truth and Swagger who just can’t work together to fight them off. Epico & Primo grab a ladder from under the ring and proceed to use it to lay both Truth and Swagger out with a single charge. The Tag Team Champions head up the ramp with both teams down and out and the entire arena confused. We cut backstage where Matt Striker is standing by with former Diva’s Champion Layla, who made her big return last week on Super SmackDown Live. Striker asks her about going straight after Beth Phoenix, questing whether she is healthy enough to be challenging such a dominant Diva’s Champion. Layla says that she has been out for nearly a year and during that time she’s had to watch all the other Diva’s fighting it out over a championship that she knows she can win. Layla says that Beth Phoenix might be a bully, but that she’s flawless, and she is going to be the next WWE Diva’s Champion. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe get a short recap of Epico & Primo interrupting the number one contenders match just moments ago. Next we cut to the office of RAW and SmackDown general manager John Laurinaitis, who is asking Theodore Long why he didn’t stop Epico & Primo. Long says he couldn’t have known. The door opens and Epico, Primo & Rosa Mendes walks in. Laurinaitis tells Long to get lost. Laurinaitis asks them what they were thinking getting involved in a match he booked. The tag team champions don’t answer though, but rather Abraham Washington, who walks into the office and tells Laurinaitis that if he wants to talk to the WWE Tag Team Champions, he’ll have to do so through him – their new agent. Laurinaitis is furious. Washington says that the tag team champions have been held down but with him behind them that won’t happen. Laurinaitis says fine, that if they think they’ve been held down then he’ll make sure that won’t happen again. He tells them they’ve got a match at Extreme Rules – a triple threat ladder match against Kofi Kingston & R-Truth and Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger! The tag team champions are upset but Abraham Washington says that is perfect and that when they win and retain the titles Laurinaitis will have no choice but to respect the WWE Tag Team Champions and give them all that they deserve. He leads them out as John Laurinaitis looks annoyed. 2.) Layla Defeated Nikki Bella w/ Brie Bella. This one was a clear showcase for the returning Layla, and she didn’t look like she has missed a beat since being out of action for nearly a year. Layla countered ‘twin magic’ and hit The Facelift to take the victory. As Layla begins celebrating her victory she is cut off by WWE Diva’s Champion Beth Phoenix from the ramp. Beth Phoenix tells Layla that she should have stayed at home picking up her wages because a year on the shelf is nothing compared to what the Glamazon is going to do to her pretty little face. Layla is handed a microphone and tells Beth that if that’s what she thinks then why doesn’t she put it to the test and put the Diva’s Championship on the line at Extreme Rules? Beth Phoenix laughs, telling Layla that she’s got to be kidding. She tells Layla that she doesn’t have to defend her title against anybody she doesn’t want to and walks backstage, leaving Layla frustrated in the ring as we go to commercials. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe go backstage where Matt Striker is standing by with Lord Tensai and his attendant Sakamoto. Striker asks Tensai about his recent run of domination. Tensai starts talking in Japanese, but then switches to English towards the end. Tensai says that what they have seen thus far is nothing compared to what he is truly capable of. Tensai promises destruction in a way that nobody has ever seen before. 3. UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) David Otunga Defeated Santino Marella [c]; David Otunga WINS the United States Championship. This match was made by John Laurinaitis to ‘reward’ the hard work that David Otunga has been doing for him in recent weeks. There was a whole lot of love in this arena for Santino Marella and Otunga got a lot of heat. Otunga has been improving week after week and he looked pretty impressive here, but Santino looked set to come out on top when he brought out the Cobra. He was distracted however by an appearance by Eve on the apron, leading Marella to turn straight into the Verdict and Otunga to make the pinfall! David Otunga is handed the United States Championship and begins celebrating wildly in the ring as the crowd shower him with boos. He looks at Eve, who has now made her way up the ramp, completely confused as to why she helped him win the United States Championship here tonight. We head to a video package featuring Brock Lesnar, who is not here at Monday Night RAW tonight. Lesnar is speaking about his upcoming Extreme Rules match with John Cena. Lesnar says that he was brought here to the WWE to get rid of losers like John Cena, saying that it is people like Cena who has made the WWE the joke it is today. He says that John Cena is scared of him, that if he had never left the WWE then John Cena would never have won as many titles as he had because he would have ended John Cena’s career years ago. He calls Cena a p***y and says that at Extreme Rules he isn’t just going to beat him, he’s going to end him. COMMERCIAL BREAKAs RAW returns from commercial the music of John Cena hits the speakers as the man who will face Brock Lesnar in thirteen days at Extreme Rules makes his way down to the ring, getting a split reaction from the crowd in the United Kingdom. Inside the ring Cena looks around the crowd as he waits for the boos to die down. He begins speaking about what Brock Lesnar said just moments ago. He says that Brock Lesnar is right – he is scared of him. Cena says he’d be stupid not be scared of a man like Brock Lesnar. He knows what Lesnar can do, he’s seen him hurt plenty of people before and he’s felt Lesnar’s elbow as it split him open. John Cena calls Brock Lesnar more than a wrestler, he’s fighter, but that doesn’t mean he’s right about everything. John Cena says that Brock Lesnar thinks that his fear makes him weak, that being scared means he doesn’t have a chance at Extreme Rules, but that he knows that isn’t true. John Cena says that he will go into Extreme Rules more focused that he has ever been. Cena says that beating Brock Lesnar is just as important as any of the World Championships he has won in his career. John Cena says that he won’t let Brock Lesnar become the face of this company, that he is going to be the one to stop him. Cena goes on to say that he doesn’t care whether the fans like him or hate him, because he’ll keep fighting for them either way. Cena drops the microphone and heads backstage as we cut to commercials. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to RAW to the office of general manager John Laurinaitis, where our esteemed general manager is celebrating with new United States Champion David Otunga, getting Theodore Long to pour them champagne. The Miz barges into the office, demanding to know why he hasn’t got a match tonight after Laurinaitis promised that he’d get the air time he deserves. Laurinaitis tells Miz to calm down, saying that if he wants a match then he can have one later tonight. The Miz thanks Laurinaitis, saying he won’t regret this and walks out of the office. Laurinaitis says that he won’t regret this, but The Miz might, leaving him and Otunga to continue celebrating. 4.) Brodus Clay Defeated Darren Young w/ Titus O’Neill. The Funkasaurus struck again here in the United Kingdom as he bested Darren Young in singles action. Young actually put up a decent fight, and the presence of Titus O’Neill didn’t hurt his odds either, but in the end he fell like many others to the Ah, Funk It! Following the match Brodus Clay begins his signature post match dance when Titus O’Neill attacked him from behind. Brodus and O’Neill brawled with Clay seemingly getting the better of it when Darren Young hit him with a low blow from behind. O’Neill proceeded to show his strength by dropping Brodus Clay with the Clash of the Titus, Darren Young and Titus O’Neill leaving Brodus Clay lying for the first time since the Funkasaurus came to RAW. We cut backstage and once again to Matt Striker, who this time is standing by with Mark Henry, the man who will challenge CM Punk for the WWE Championship in tonight’s main event. Mark Henry says that CM Punk knows he can’t beat him, saying that the fact that CM Punk has had to get himself counted out and disqualified for the past two weeks. Henry points out that tonight is no disqualifications and no count outs so CM Punk has no way out. Striker tries asking whether he is worried about CM Punk taking out his anger over Chris Jericho on Mark Henry. Henry tells Striker he must be stupid, because CM Punk isn’t going to go the chance – tonight, Mark Henry becomes the new WWE Champion. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return backstage where CM Punk is preparing for his no disqualifications, no count out WWE Championship defence against Mark Henry here tonight. He looks up and we see John Laurinaitis approach him. Punk asks Laurinaitis what he wants and John says that he’s not happy that CM Punk went over his head to Triple H to get the stipulation added for Extreme Rules. CM Punk asks why he should care and John Laurinaitis says that maybe he shouldn’t, but that sooner or later Brock Lesnar is going to come for the WWE Championship, and that maybe he’ll feel like giving him that title match. CM Punk tells Laurinaitis that he’ll beat his attack dog just like he’s going to beat Mark Henry tonight. Laurinaitis says that we’ll see and walks off as we return to ringside. The Miz makes his entrance first, ready for the match that he was granted earlier tonight by John Laurinaitis. The big problem is that he has no idea who is opponent is scheduled to be. The Miz waits for a few moments before the music of Lord Tensai hits, The Miz freaking out as the dominant Tensai makes his way to the ring. 5.) Lord Tensai w/ Sakamoto Defeated The Miz. The Miz may have had no idea who he was facing before the match, but he found out what Lord Tensai was all about pretty quickly. This was the most competitive match we’ve seen for Tensai since his debut as The Miz took the fight to him as best as he could. Miz managed to counter the Two Handed Chokebomb but Sakamoto grabbed his leg as he ran the rope and Tensai blasted him with the Green Mist before hitting the Chokebomb and getting the pin. Lord Tensai pushes The Miz away having picked up a huge win over a former WWE Champion. Tensai waits for The Miz to get up and then goes for the Iron Claw. The Miz manages to see it coming through the mist and ducks under the claw. He goes for the Skull Crushing Finale but Tensai powers out of it, throwing The Miz to the mat. The Miz quickly rolls under the ring to make his escape, backing up the ramp and staring down Lord Tensai with a slight look of fear on his face. We cut backstage where we see a split screen view. On one side is the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry and on the other is the WWE Champion CM Punk. CM Punk vs. Mark Henry for the WWE Championship is up next! COMMERCIAL BREAK6. WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH; NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, NO COUNT OUTS) CM Punk [c] Defeated Mark Henry. CM Punk RETAINS the WWE Championship. Following two straight losses to the World’s Strongest Man CM Punk had to bring his A-game tonight if he wanted to walk out of the United Kingdom as the WWE Champion, and he did exactly that, really taking the fight to Mark Henry. The two men brawled both in and out of the ring, again putting on a terrific showcase of both men’s strengths. Weapons came into play pretty early on as CM Punk used a kendo stick to unload on Mark Henry. Henry nearly put CM Punk through a table with the World’s Strongest Slam but the champion countered, and soon blasted Henry with a steel chair to floor him. CM Punk went up top and used the steel chair to assist in a Macho Man style elbow before pinning Henry to take the win. CM Punk slowly rises to his feet after the vicious match he just competed it. He is handed the WWE Championship but before he gets the chance to celebrate it he is attacked from behind by Chris Jericho. Jericho begins putting the boots in before CM Punk manages to fight back. Jericho quickly stops Punk’s rally dead by blasting him with a steel chair. Jericho rolls out of the ring and enters again holding two beer cans, again looking to humiliate CM Punk. As he opens the one can CM Punk suddenly rises from the mat with a kendo stick in hand and nails Jericho with it in the ribs. CM Punk lifts Chris Jericho up for the GTS but Jericho manages to roll out behind and exit the ring. CM Punk screams at Chris Jericho to stay and face him but Chris Jericho exits through the crowd as the WWE Champion lifts his championship up high. At Extreme Rules there won’t be any escape however as these two men will face off inside of a Steel Cage. RAW goes off the air with CM Punk and Chris Jericho staring each other down.

WWE RAW Supershow: Monday 16th April 2012...Titus O'Neill beating Alex Riley was cool, just to get O'Neill over well. And Mason Ryan with JTG? When did JTG turn face again? Fair win against Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks, but man, Reks and Hawkins are so underutilized. Good opening promo from CM Punk for the United Kingdom crowd, put over his upcoming WWE Championship defense well, could be a good match. Liked Chris Jericho intercepting, would love for Y2J to actually compete prior to Extreme Rules though honestly. Strange decision for Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger to meet Kofi Kingston and R-Truth in a no contest finish. With Primo and Epico, this will be quite an odd match. Uh oh, a ladder stipulation? It's different I admit, but I don't like the idea of a three-way ladder match for the WWE Tag Team Championships at Extreme Rules at all. Abraham Washington as Primo and Epico's agent sounds great. But the titles I expect to change hands at last come April 29th. Layla beating Nikki Bella, nothing big. Beth Phoenix against Layla sounds good for Extreme Rules. David Otunga as WWE United States Champion? Interesting, definitely better than Marella as champ. Otunga could bring something cool to the title. Also benefits for the UK's typical "title change" scenario. John Cena's promo was quite good, just to propell his feud with Brock Lesnar up a notch. Brodus Clay beating Darren Young was fine, Brodus really needs an angle or a storyline at this stage, he's getting stale. And personally I don't think this scenario with Titus O'Neill and Darren Young is the right one. I'm not fond of the idea of turning the Miz face, although it would be a refreshing sight. Lord Tensai with the win was quite the interesting move to make though, but I like it. And lastly, CM Punk beating Mark Henry was expected in a decent no-disqualification main event. Did like Chris Jericho getting involved afterwards though. Overall, a decent episode of RAW from the UK, not so many complaints to make.

WWE News: The Miz Face Turn?, Future Brock Lesnar Feud, No Way Out- Last night on RAW The Miz seemed to begin a face turn when John Laurinaitis placed him in a match with Lord Tensai, which he later lost. Reports say that The Miz will be turning face in the next few months but that it will be a slow build turn. WWE don’t want The Miz to lose his edgy personality but they also understand that they need something to revitalise his recently disappointing run. There’s been a lot of talk of moving him over to SmackDown during the draft and making him one of the top faces on the brand. - During RAW they teased a possible future WWE Championship match between CM Punk and Brock Lesnar. Latest news out of WWE creative is that a CM Punk/ Brock Lesnar match is definitely in the works with latest talk being that it may come as early as No Way Out in two months time. - During RAW it was announced that at Extreme Rules CM Punk will defend the WWE Championship against Chris Jericho inside of a Steel Cage. This of course throws a spanner into the claims that all of the top matches at the upcoming No Way Out pay per view would be Steel Cage matches. There has reportedly been a lot of talk amongst creative about changing the way they structure pay per views so people won’t be expecting certain stipulations at certain pay per views, therefore making these stipulation matches more special when they do occur. - It was also announced during RAW that at Extreme Rules Primo and Epico will defend the WWE Tag Team Championships in a triple threat ladder match against both Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston & R-Truth. This is reportedly the first step in WWE’s plans to make the tag team division an important part of WWE programming. - Following the reports last week about World Wrestling Entertainment being in talks with a number of independent wrestling talents, including two female wrestlers, we can report that at least two contracts were offered this week. We should have confirmation very soon about whether these contracts have been signed.

WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWNApril 20th 2012- Tamina Snuka
[/color] Defeated Alicia Fox[/color] - Drew McIntyre[/color] Defeated Percy Watson[/color] [/size] CUE OPENING VIDEO PACKAGE[/color] The pyrotechnics hit as we get underway with Friday Night SmackDown emanating from the good old United Kingdom. We head down to ringside where Michael Cole, Booker T and Josh Matthews will be providing commentary tonight. They kick things off with Michael Cole mocking Booker T after he was beaten badly by Mark Henry last week on SmackDown. Booker tells Cole to shut up unless he wants to step in that ring. Cole says he’s undefeated at WrestleMania and that he doesn’t need to tarnish his legacy like that. Before anything physical can happen they’re cut off by the introduction of Alberto Del Rio by his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez. Del Rio makes his entrance to a decent amount of heat. Alberto Del Rio begins speaking about how last week, Sheamus cheated to defeat him. He says that last week he came to SmackDown in order to fight with honour, in order to show the same pure skill that everybody else in this company is lacking. But that last week he was screwed over. Del Rio says that right now he should be the World Heavyweight Champion and then after the match Sheamus and all of those has-beens put their hands on poor defenceless Ricardo Rodriguez. Del Rio says that he isn’t going to leave this ring until this great injustice is undone and he is granted another match with that pathetic excuse for champion. This, as you would expect, brings out the World Heavyweight Champion – the fighting Irishman Sheamus. Sheamus hits the ring, making Del Rio back up. Sheamus tells Del Rio to shut his mouth, because every single person in the arena is tired of hearing him try and come up with excuses. Sheamus says that last week Alberto Del Rio gave it his best, but that his best just wasn’t good enough, and now he can’t accept the fact that he got beat fair and square. Alberto Del Rio shouts about how Sheamus needs to learn how to respect those who are better than him. Sheamus tells him to find someone who is and he’ll think about it. On the ramp Sheamus’ Extreme Rules opponent, Daniel Bryan, appears. Daniel Bryan tells Sheamus that he’s already met someone better than him, and he’s standing right here. Daniel Bryan brings up Sheamus’ Celtic Cloverleaf submission hold, saying that it’s pathetic and that he already has a dozen ways of escaping it. Sheamus tells him to come to the ring and show him but Bryan says that he doesn’t want to be in the way. Suddenly Alberto Del Rio attacks Sheamus from behind. The two men brawl before Sheamus gets the upper hand and goes for the Brogue Kick. Del Rio ducks and quickly exits the ring, backing up the ramp as Sheamus stares him and Daniel Bryan down. COMMERCIAL BREAKA recap of the altercation between World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, Daniel Bryan and RAW’s Alberto Del Rio is shown. A graphic reveals that John Laurinaitis has made a huge tag team main event pitting World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and Intercontinental Champion Big Show against Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio! 1.) Kane Defeated The Great Khali. This wasn’t a great match, but it was there to make Kane look like a monster and it did just that. Despite not having the size advantage that he is used to Kane looked just as impressive as he took the fight to Khali and finished the giant off with a Chokeslam that shook the ring.As Kane gets up to celebrate he is immediately tackled to the ground by Randy Orton. We are reminded that last week Kane attacked Randy Orton’s father, Bob Orton, and that these two will clash in a Last Man Standing match at Extreme Rules. Orton unloads on Kane with right hands before Kane manages to fight back enough to make an escape, rolling out of the ring. Orton follows Kane out of the ring and again goes on the offensive, attacking Kane on the ramp. The two brawl up the ramp before dozens of referees and security guards rush out to intervene, separating the two men. Kane backs up the ramp while Randy Orton shouts that Kane went too far as we cut backstage. We return backstage where John Laurinaitis and Theodore Long are standing outside of his office. Laurinaitis says that since they’re in the United Kingdom he has the perfect idea for Long to do his job properly. He hands Long a queens guard hat, saying that the queens guard stop people getting in and don’t talk, which is exactly what Theodore Long is going to do tonight. Long is forced to put on the outfit while Aksana approaches them, asking Laurinaitis about their meeting right in front of Teddy. Laurinaitis invites her into his office and tells Long to do his job – he doesn’t want anyone interrupting. Long looks depressed as we cut to commercials. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe head to the locker room of the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry who is preparing for his match later tonight. There’s a knock at his door and Abraham Washington walks in. Washington says that he thought Mark Henry was going to have the WWE Championship after Monday Night RAW, at least that’s what Henry told him. Mark Henry gets angry at this but Washington tells him to calm down. He says that Mark Henry deserves to be the WWE Champion; everyone knows that, he just needs the right manager to get it done. He says that he’s giving Mark Henry one final offer to join his All World Talent Agency. Henry things about it, and then shakes Washington’s hand, signalling his acceptance of the offer. Washington looks pleased and says it’s time to talk strategy as we return to ringside. 2.) Layla & AJ Defeated Beth Phoenix & Maxine. Layla returned last week and has already been pushing for a Diva’s Championship match against Beth Phoenix for Extreme Rules. Knowing that a win here would help her case Layla went out and really gave it her all. AJ looked impressive as well following her independence from Daniel Bryan while Maxine just seemed there to take the pinfall after Layla connected with the LayOut.Immediately following the match the Diva’s Champion Beth Phoenix launches a sneak attack from behind on Layla, knocking her to the ground and pounding away with her boot. AJ quickly enters the ring and, buoyed her newfound independence, ducks underneath a clothesline attempt by the Glamazon before leaping up onto the middle rope and springboarding backwards with a cross body. Unfortunately for AJ Beth Phoenix grabs her, demonstrating her considerable strength. She is about to launch AJ with a fall away slam but Layla comes from behind with a dropkick to the back of Beth’s leg. Beth releases AJ and is clotheslined over the top rope by Layla. Suddenly the voice of the new United States Champion David Otunga echoes throughout the arena to a chorus of boos. Otunga says that they are in an era of people power and that the people seem to want to see Layla get a shot at the Diva’s Championship. Otunga announces that by John Laurinaitis’ orders Beth Phoenix will defend the Diva’s Championship against Layla at Extreme Rules... in a falls count anywhere match! The crowd cheer as Layla signals that she is coming after a furious Beth Phoenix’s Diva’s Championship. COMMERCIAL BREAKUpon returning we get yet another hype video for Damien Sandow. This time around he talks about how the average intelligence of an American citizen is falling year by year because the education system is failing them. Sandow promises that he will enlighten them upon his debut to SmackDown – next week! We return backstage where Theodore Long is silently standing guard outside of John Laurinaitis’ office, clad in the Queen’s guard uniform. The door opens and Aksana and John Laurinaitis walk out. Laurinaitis thanks Aksana for a lovely meeting and tells her to bring ‘him’ along next week to SmackDown so he can meet him. Aksana thanks him and walks off, giving a glance to a silent Teddy as she does. Laurinaitis tells Teddy that “she sure is something” before laughing and closing the door, leaving a silent Teddy alone as we return to ringside. 3.) Mark Henry w/ Abraham Washington Defeated Ezekial Jackson. Having accepted a spot in Abraham Washington’s All World Talent Agency earlier tonight Mark Henry came out here looking fired up, which was probably aided by the fact that he is coming off of a failed WWE Championship challenge. Ezekial might be big and powerful but he just wasn’t able to match Henry’s ferocity here and was eventually put away by the World’s Strongest Slam as A.W. clapped at ringside.Following the match Abraham Washington enters the ring and raises Mark Henry’s arm in victory. This win may just foreshadow a big run for the World’s Strongest Man now that he has allied himself with Abraham Washington. We head backstage were Matt Striker is standing by with Randy Orton, looking to get a few words on his attack on Kane earlier tonight. Orton says that Kane crossed a line last week when he attacked Orton’s father, that things are personal now and that Kane is not going to enjoy the consequences of that. Before he can continue he is attacked from behind by the Big Red Machine himself! Kane and Orton begin brawling around the backstage area and again have to be separated by security, referees and even a few WWE superstars before they do any serious damage. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to Friday Night SmackDown and to the music of the former Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes as he makes his way down to the ring. After being handed a microphone Cody begins talking about what happened last week when his father Dusty Rhodes embarrassed him by showing his face here on SmackDown. Cody says that he has had enough of being embarrassed week after week and that it’s time he settled things and took back the Intercontinental Championship before Big Show ruins all of the hard work that he has done to legitimise the title. This, inevitably, brings out our Intercontinental Champion Big Show as the Giant makes his way to the ring to square up to Cody Rhodes. As Big Show enters the ring Cody backs away, a little sceptical of being in the same ring as one of the largest athletes in professional wrestling. Big Show tells Cody that he needs to stop his whining because it’s downright embarrassing to watch. He tells Cody that if he wants a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship then all he has to do is ask. Big Show says that he’ll defend the title against Cody at Extreme Rules. Rhodes say that he just made the biggest mistake of his career, promising to take the title in nine days time. Cody exits the ring and begins walking up the ramp when Big Show stops him, saying that if they’re going to do this then they may as well do it in a match that would make Dusty Rhodes proud – a Texas Bullrope match! Cody is furious, Big Show having once again got one over on him. He storms up the ramp as Big Show waves him goodbye as we cut away. A graphic reminds us of tonight’s big tag team main event. Tonight World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and Intercontinental Champion Big Show battle Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio! COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return backstage where AJ is talking with Natalya and Alicia Fox, talking happily about getting a victory earlier tonight alongside Layla. They are cut off by a sarcastic slow clap from the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, and AJ’s ex-boyfriend, Daniel Bryan. Bryan congratulates AJ on her victory, saying it’s good to see her doing so well even though she’s so alone. AJ tells him that she doesn’t want to talk to him but Daniel Bryan says that’s fine because he just wants her to listen. He tells her that he doesn’t like being humiliated like he was last week on Piper’s Pit, and tells AJ that she better hope they’re separated during the upcoming WWE Draft because once he is the World Heavyweight Champion again he’ll make her life a living hell. Daniel Bryan walks off chanting ‘Yes!’ as a shaken AJ is comforted by Alicia and Natalya. 4.) Ryback Defeated Danny Lerman. The most interesting part of this match was that John Laurinaitis and David Otunga were watching backstage. Ryback demolished this poor kid, mercifully finishing him off with a huge running Lariat.As Ryback screams that he wants ‘more’ we cut away to a video package promoting Extreme Rules, which airs live on April 29th. We return to witness the entrance of the Hardcore Legend Mick Foley to huge pop here in the United Kingdom. While Foley makes his way to the ring we get a recap of what happened last week when Mick was attacked by an unknown man who came from the crowd. Foley is handed a microphone and begins speaking about what happened last week. He says that for the past few months he has been harassed by a young man known as Dean Ambrose who blames him for a generation of risk taking wrestlers. Foley says that he has never done anything to antagonise this man but that he just won’t stop. Foley admits that he thought the problem would just go away but that he now realizes that Dean Ambrose is a sick, sociopathic young man and that if something isn’t done now then he’s going to become a problem. Foley says that if he has to be the one to do something then he will, and proceeds to call out Dean Ambrose, saying that he knows he is in this arena tonight. Foley waits for a few moments but gets no response. Foley again calls out Ambrose and again gets no response. Mick says that he’s encountered people like Ambrose before, saying that Ambrose is a coward and that if he can’t man up and face him, then he won’t waste his time. Foley heads backstage as we cut to commercials. COMMERCIAL BREAKAs we return to SmackDown the music of the one man rock band Heath Slater is already playing out around the arena. Inside the ring Slater stands with a familiar looking face – the Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart! Slater says that last week Jimmy Hart saw so much potential in him that he has decided to stick around and guide Slater to success. Jimmy Hart, using the megaphone, declare Heath Slater as the future of the business and that with him by his side he’ll be the biggest star ever. They’re swiftly cut off by the music of Slater’s opponent tonight, William Regal. Regal gets a massive reaction from the UK fans here in his home country as he makes his way to the ring for this match. 5.) William Regal Defeated Heath Slater w/ Jimmy Hart. Despite having the Mouth of the South in his corner for this one Heath Slater was facing off with one of the greatest technical wrestlers here in the WWE as well as a man who is beloved here in the United Kingdom. Regal made Slater look good and it gave the one man rock band an opportunity to show off some technical wrestling skills of his own but in the end it wasn’t to be as Regal hit the Knee Trembler for the victory.Following the match the crowd go crazy as William Regal’s hand is raised while Jimmy Hart tries to wake up a knocked out Heath Slater, eventually shouting through the megaphone to startle him back to life. William Regal is handed a microphone and begins to speak about how thankful he is that he got this opportunity to wrestle here in the United Kingdom, saying that this is probably the last time he’ll get to do so. Suddenly the same man who attacked Foley last week, who we now know is called Dean Ambrose, leaps over the security barricade, slides into the ring and jumps William Regal from behind. Ambrose hits Regal with his own finisher, the Knee Trembler, before grabbing a steel chair from ringside. Ambrose props Regal in the corner, charges at him and hits a running single leg high knee (some fans will recognise it as the Busaiku Knee Kick) to the head of Regal assisted by the steel chair. It is at this point that Ambrose is chased off by security, again exiting through the crowd. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to SmackDown and head to the announce desk where we are shown a replay of what just happened with Dean Ambrose attacking William Regal. We are shown that during the commercial break Regal was stretchered out of the arena after suffering a neck injury because of the chair assisted high knee. The announce team promise that WWE.COM will keep everyone updated with Regal’s condition. Booker T, who has worked alongside Regal in the ring, says that Foley is right and that this Dean Ambrose kid is a sociopath and needs to be kept out of the WWE. They’re cut off by the music of Alberto Del Rio as we get ready for our main event. 6.) Daniel Bryan & Alberto Del Rio Defeated Sheamus & Big Show. With just nine days to go until the Extreme Rules pay per view this one was all about building momentum for World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and challenger Daniel Bryan ahead of their submission match. In that vein this match featured both men showing off their submission capabilities as Bryan managed to lock in the Yes Lock on Big Show and Sheamus had the Celtic Cloverleaf locked in on Del Rio only for the other man to break it up. The match came to a head when Sheamus blasted Alberto Del Rio with the Brogue Kick only to be distracted when Cody Rhodes came out of nowhere and yanked Big Show off of the apron. Show chased Rhodes up the ramp as Bryan slid into the ring and rolled Sheamus up, holding the tights to get the three.As Big Show turns back towards the ring Cody Rhodes blindsides him from behind, hitting him in the back of the head with a cowbell, knocking the giant clean out on the ramp. Inside the ring Sheamus charges at Daniel Bryan but is caught off guard as Bryan sidesteps Sheamus, grabs him and drags him to the mat to lock in the Yes Lock. Sheamus holds on but begins tapping only for Daniel Bryan to refuse to release the hold. SmackDown goes off the air with Sheamus still tapping as Daniel Bryan continues pulling back with the Yes Lock, having gained all of the momentum nine days away from Extreme Rules.[/center][/font][/blockquote]

First things first: I really like your write-ups. Detailed, and well written. Makes a diary worth reading.
Raw: Good opening promo with Jericho & Punk. Extreme Rules should be a good match between the two. Nice twist for the Tag Team Championship match to be a 3 way. I like it. Otunga going over is good way for him and Laurintitis to get heat. Tensai & the Miz match is good. I liked to see Miz get the hell outta dodge. I hope Tensai and Miz feud. Punk beating Henry is good, gives Punk a lot of momentum going into Extreme Rules.
Smackdown: Kane going over is good imo. Nice to see more buildup. Hopefully Layla can win the Women's belt at the PPV. Abraham Washington aligned with Mark Henry makes it a whole different ball game at Extreme Rules. I like the twist. RYBACK!! YES! Hopefully you give him a push. Ambrose attacking Regal is a nice way to introduce him (again). Hopefully he goes far. The main event was well thought out, I liked Rhodes interfering.
All in all I like what you're doing. Keep up the great work.
