WWE.COMWilliam Regal Seriously InjuredImmediately following the heinous assault by Dean Ambrose during Friday Night SmackDown William Regal was rushed to a nearby medical facility for evaluation. Doctors have determined that Regal suffered a cervical disk prolapse as a result of the assault, an injury that will require surgery. This will require William Regal to take an undetermined amount of time off in order to recover, with the possibility that his neck will not heal to a degree that he will be able to return to the ring. We promise to keep you updated with future news. WWE News: William Regal's Injury, Bella Twins Update, FCW News, More- World Wrestling Entertainment announced on their website this morning that William Regal suffered a severe neck injury as a result of the attack by Dean Ambrose this week on SmackDown. Our sources have confirmed that this injury is a work in order to get Ambrose over and is leading to a future feud between Dean Ambrose and William Regal following Ambrose’s feud with Mick Foley, which is expected to last until Over the Limit or No Way Out. - With the Bella Twin’s contracts being up this month it was highly expected by many that the pair would not be resigning with the company and would be leaving as soon as next week. However it is now believed that the Bella’s have signed a three month extension on their contracts that includes a decreased work schedule with both sides hoping that the extended stay will result in the Bella’s being happier within the company and signing a full time extension with the company. This is mainly down to the fact that The Bella’s are considered the most marketable Diva’s on the roster alongside Kelly Kelly. - As seen this week on SmackDown Jimmy Hart appears to have returned to World Wrestling Entertainment managing Heath Slater. Hart reportedly got nostalgic when he made his one time return on Super SmackDown Live last week and asked if there was any way for him to stay around short term, and the decision was made to pair him up with Heath Slater due to the chemistry the pair share. Expect Hart to stick around into the Summer in the hope that it will raise Slater's profile. - Michael McGillicutty, who has been absent from WWE television in recent months, reappeared down in Florida Championship Wrestling this week working under his real name Joe Hennig. Henning wrestled in a losing effort to Florida Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in what is being called one of the best matches of Hennig’s career. Word backstage is that Hennig will be working FCW exclusively for the next few months before being brought back up to the main roster. - We recently brought word that Brodie Lee had signed a contract with WWE. Well Brodie made his FCW debut this week under the name Luke Harper, teaming with Mike Dalton to defeat Jake Carter and Corey Graves in non title action.

MONDAY NIGHT RAWApril 23rd 2012- Darren Young w/ Titus O’Neill Defeated Alex Riley - Brie Bella w/ Nikki Bella Defeated Kelly KellyCUE OPENING VIDEO PACKAGEAs the opening video package comes to an end RAW’s signature pyrotechnics go off, kicking off tonight’s go home edition of Monday Night RAW. We head down to the announce table where Michael Cole and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler remind us that there are only six days to go until Extreme Rules. They hype up tonight’s big show which will be headlined by a contract signing between John Cena and Brock Lesnar ahead of their Extreme Rules match this Sunday. They are cut off by the familiar theme that can only belong to the one and only awesome one, The Miz hitting the ring to kick off Monday Night RAW. The Miz starts things off by saying that finally he has the ring time he deserves, and that it’s not because of that jackass John Laurinaitis, but because he is taking what he deserves. The Miz says he has languished here on RAW since losing the WWE Championship and that he can’t keep blaming everybody else for that. The Miz says that after losing the WWE Champion he lost his drive, he forgot what got him here in the first place... the fact that he’s awesome! The Miz goes on to start berating John Laurinaitis, saying that since our current general manager, “Frankenstein’s Monster” can’t recognise his talent he’ll have to do it himself. He says that if he’s still on RAW after the draft then he’ll be coming for CM Punk and his WWE Championship. The Miz is cut off by Chris Jericho, the current number one contender to the WWE Championship and the man who will face CM Punk in six days inside of a steel cage. Jericho enters the ring and asks The Miz if he hit his head recently, because he doesn’t sound like himself, he sounds like a loser. Chris Jericho says that The Miz is also forgetting something else – that after this Sunday CM Punk won’t be the WWE Champion, he will, and if The Miz thinks he’s going to even be in line for a WWE Championship match then he’s clearly delusional. Jericho states that The Miz is just ripping off his gimmick. The Miz says that it isn’t really ripping off when he’s doing it better than Jericho could ever hope. The two men get in each other’s faces and look like they’re about to come to blows when they’re interrupted by the general manager of RAW and SmackDown, John Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis tells them to leave the fighting until later because both of them are booked to wrestle in tonight’s main event. Laurinaitis announces a tag team match for later tonight, pitting Chris Jericho and Lord Tensai against The Miz... and CM Punk! The crowd go crazy as Jericho grins and makes a quick exit while The Miz says that’s fine, because “I’m The Miz... and I’m awesome!” COMMERCIAL BREAKWe’re shown a reminder of what happened last week when WWE Tag Team Champions Epico & Primo interfered in the number one contenders match between Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston & R-Truth, leading to the announcement of a triple threat ladder match for the WWE Tag Team titles at Extreme Rules! 1.) Dolph Ziggler w/ Jack Swagger & Vickie Guerrero Defeated Kofi Kingston w/ R-Truth and Epico w/ Ambraham Washington, Primo & Rosa Mendes. This was meant to be a preview to the big triple threat ladder match this Sunday at Extreme Rules, but with so many people at ringside this was never going to be that simple. These three men did put on a very exciting contest, all three capable of plenty of high flying moves and showcasing why there could be some incredible spots this Sunday. The ending saw all three teammates at ringside begin arguing when suddenly Kingston propelled Epico over the top rope, Epico crashing down on all three of them and taking himself out in the process. Kingston was then hit by the Zig Zag as Dolph Ziggler made the cover for the victory.Dolph Ziggler makes a quick exit from the ring as he, Vickie Guerrero and a groggy Jack Swagger make their way up the ramp, Ziggler signalling that they are going to be the next WWE Championships as RAW cuts backstage. We head to the entrance of the arena where WWE Champion CM Punk is just entering the arena. He is met by Matt Striker, who asks him about his thoughts on the recently made main event. Punk doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about, so Striker informs him of Laurinaitis’ announcement – here tonight CM Punk will team with The Miz against Chris Jericho and Lord Tensai. Punk says that Striker has to be kidding him but when it becomes apparent he isn’t Punk shakes his head and charges off in search of John Laurinaitis. One thing’s for certain, he isn’t happy. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to RAW and the office of general manager John Laurinaitis, who is standing by with United States Champion David Otunga and Eve. Otunga wants to know what Eve is doing there and why she interfered in his match last week. Eve says that she was just providing Mr. Laurinaitis with evidence of her usefulness. John Laurinaitis says that he was very impressed and that she has proven herself very useful both inside and outside of the ring, mentioning that Eve convinced the The Bella Twins to sign new contracts this week. Laurinaitis tells Otunga that he is officially making Eve the head of the Diva’s division. David Otunga is about to say something, clearly not happy that Eve is stealing his spotlight with Laurinaitis, when suddenly CM Punk bursts through the door. CM Punk and John Laurinaitis stare each other down for a few moments, before Laurinaitis tells David Otunga that he really should be preparing to defend the United States Championship in just a little bit. Otunga walks off in a huff as Laurinaitis asks CM Punk if he can help him. CM Punk bluntly asks if Laurinaitis has a death wish, because he seems intent on getting CM Punk’s bad side. Laurinaitis feigns ignorance and CM Punk tells him that he’s crazier than he thought if he thinks he can work with The Miz tonight. Laurinaitis tells him that he’ll have to if he doesn’t want to get destroyed, and sarcastically wishes him luck. Punk seems to be struggling not to hit Laurinaitis and walks out of the office, leaving the general manager and new head of the Diva’s division Eve left watching him go smugly. 2.) Layla Defeated Natalya. With just six days to go before she challenges the Diva’s Champion Beth Phoenix at Extreme Rules Layla looked to put away Beth’s former partner Natalya in singles action. Layla looked in good form throughout and with the Diva’s Champion on commentary she certainly sent a message as she put Natalya away with The Face Lift.Following the match Beth Phoenix gets up from the announce desk and watches Layla as she celebrates the victory. The two catch each other’s gaze and begin to stare each other down, Beth Phoenix lifting the Diva’s Championship up high, showing off what these two Diva’s will be battling for in six days time when they meet in a falls count anywhere match! COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to RAW and head out to the entrance to the arena, where John Laurinaitis and Eve are standing by waiting for a very particular person. A limo pulls up, and after a few moments the door opens to reveal Brock Lesnar. Laurinaitis welcomes Brock Lesnar to Monday Night RAW and the three head inside the arena. Brock Lesnar and John Cena will sign the contract for their Extreme Rules match, tonight! 3. UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) David Otunga [c] Defeated Santino Marella; David Otunga RETAINS the United States Championship. Last week on RAW David Otunga managed to topple Santino Marella to become the new United States Champion, but with a rematch clause in his contract it was obvious that Otunga hadn’t seen the last of the Italian Stallion just yet. In a close fought, and at times comedic contest, Marella proved to be a difficult first test for the United States Champion, but when Otunga managed to duck under the Cobra and connect with the Verdict, it was all over.David Otunga is handed his United States Championship and begins celebrating much to the disappointment of both the crowd and Santino Marella. Otunga lifts the title up high as we cut away. We head to the locker room of Lord Tensai where he is preparing for tonight’s main event with the assistance of his attendant Sakamoto. The door opens up and in walks Tensai’s partner tonight, Chris Jericho. Tensai eyes up Jericho in an intimidating manner, something that Jericho struggles to just shake off. Jericho tries getting round this with humour, making a few jokes at Tensai and Sakamoto’s expense but that obviously doesn’t work. Throwing the trivialities out of the window Jericho gets serious, telling Tensai that he wants CM Punk hurt tonight, and that he knows Tensai likes hurting people. Tensai says some stuff in Japanese before simply stating that he won’t do Jericho’s dirty work for him. When Jericho tries to argue with him Tensai simply states no, and forcefully pushes him out of the door, slamming it shut. Obviously neither team is on the same page tonight as we head towards our huge main event. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe’re shown a recap of last week’s Monday Night RAW where Brodus Clay continued his impressive streak by defeating Darren Young, only to be attacked by Young and his partner Titus O’Neill after the match. 4.) Titus O’Neill w/ Darren Young Defeated Brodus Clay. Brodus Clay was looking to continue his undefeated streak here tonight on Monday Night RAW, as well as get a measure of revenge following last week, but unfortunately he came up short on both counts thanks to the numbers game. O’Neill put up more of a fight than many of Clay’s opponents thanks to his formidable strength and size, but Clay still took control and looked to have it won, only for a distraction by Darren Young to cost him the match as Clay knocked him off of the apron and turned straight into the Clash of the Titus giving him his first loss since returning to RAW.Darren Young quickly joins Titus O’Neill in the ring to celebrate the victory over the Funkasaurus here tonight on Monday Night RAW. As Clay began to stir Young and O’Neill started circling him, clearly planning to send a message to the WWE locker room right here. Suddenly a familiar theme plays – it’s Long Island Iced Z, Zack Ryder! Ryder sprints to the ring, ducking under a Titus clothesline and shoots up, dropping Young with the Rough Ryder! O’Neill begins beating down Ryder when Brodus Clay tugs O’Neill away and drops him with the Ah, Funk It. O’Neill and Young roll out of the ring, staggering up the ramp, while Brodus Clay and Zack Ryder begin dancing in the ring. One thing’s for certain, things are not over here. We cut backstage to the locker room of The Miz, who is preparing for tonight’s main event. CM Punk, The Miz’s unlikely partner for tonight, walks into the locker room and the two engage in a tense staredown. CM Punk states that they don’t like each other and that he despises everything about The Miz, before listing everything that he hates about The Miz. Miz interrupts him, asking if this has a point and Punk says that Miz is so easy to hate that he got away with himself. CM Punk tells The Miz that tonight they have to work together and that. The Miz says that Punk doesn’t have to worry because he wants to get one over on John Laurinaitis just as much as Punk. This seems to be enough for the WWE Champion, and he offers The Miz his hand. The Miz says that he shouldn’t get ahead of himself because as soon as Punk’s done with Jericho he’s going to be first in line for that belt. Punk tells him that he’d like to see him try and leaves with a grin as we cut to commercials. COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return backstage to the office of the general manger of RAW and SmackDown, where John Laurinaitis is talking with Brock Lesnar. The office door opens and Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks barge in, wanting to talk to ‘Big Johnny’. Instead they come face to face with Brock Lesnar. Laurinaitis asks them why they’re interrupting his meeting with Brock and they stammer something about wanting an opportunity. Lesnar snarls that if they don’t get out they’ll get their opportunity to be his punching bag. Hawkins & Reks quickly apologize and make their exit as Lesnar and John Laurinaitis get back to business while we head to ringside. 5.) Alberto Del Rio Defeated JTG. This one was short, sweet and all about putting over Del Rio following his recent losses over on SmackDown. Del Rio systematically worked away at JTG’s right arm before locking in the Cross Ambreaker to take the submission victory.Alberto Del Rio refuses to release the Cross Armbreaker following the bell, forcing the referee to threaten to reverse the decision. It is only then that Del Rio releases the submission hold and begins celebrating the victory, hoping that he’s got things back on track here on RAW. We cut backstage where Matt Striker is standing by with John Cena, looking to get some words on the contract signing here tonight. Striker asks Cena whether he is intimidated at getting into the ring with Brock Lesnar after what happened last time. John Cena says that Lesnar is an intimidating man, and that he’d be stupid not be wary about getting into that ring with him especially with John Laurinaitis standing by as well. Despite that Cena says that he doesn’t let his intimidation get the better of him, that he is going to go toe to toe with Brock Lesnar tonight in the same way that he will do at Extreme Rules – with pride and guts. John Cena says that if he has his way tonight will be the last time he sets eyes on Brock Lesnar, and that it can’t come soon enough. COMMERCIAL BREAKA video package plays promoting next Monday’s big three hour edition of Monday Night RAW that will feature the 2012 WWE draft! 6.) CM Punk & The Miz Defeated Chris Jericho & Lord Tensai. This main event featured two very unusual teams so the obvious theme was whether they could work together properly. In fact CM Punk and The Miz worked together surprisingly well and the fans actually got behind The Awesome One, especially when he went one on one with Lord Tensai in the middle of the match. Jericho & Tensai did not have that benefit, nearly coming to blows on more than one occasion including sharing an increasing roughness in their tags to each other. Chris Jericho spent a lot of the match attempting to avoid being in the ring one on one with CM Punk but as always with that kind of plan, it didn’t really work out, Miz tagging in Punk towards the end and the WWE Champion just running roughshod over Jericho. Towards the end Tensai nearly booted Jericho’s skull clean off after Punk ducked under the blow and Jericho slapped Tensai across the face. This proved to be a stupid move as Tensai blasted Jericho with a Bicycle Kick and left him in the ring to suffer a GTS, Punk pinning Jericho to take the victory.Lord Tensai furiously charged up the ramp after costing himself and Chris Jericho the match. Inside the ring CM Punk is handed the WWE Championship and holds it up high over the fallen body of Chris Jericho, while The Miz celebrated alongside, the two men tensely sharing a nod following their victory. We cut backstage to the corridor of the arena to see John Cena making his way to ringside. The contract signing between John Cena and Brock Lesnar is up next! COMMERCIAL BREAKWe return to RAW with the ring all set up for tonight’s huge contract signing, and RAW and SmackDown general manager John Laurinaitis already in the ring. He talks about how in just six days WWE will witness one of the biggest moments in its history – the moment that Brock Lesnar ends the man known as John Cena. Laurinaitis proceeds to introduce Brock Lesnar, the man beast’s music hitting the system and Lesnar making his way to the ring to a huge reaction from this vocal crowd. Lesnar thanks Laurinaitis for introducing him and then says that he’d rather not waste his time out here in front of these people, because he isn’t here for them, he’s here to legitimize this company and you don’t do that by standing around. Lesnar says that they may as well get this over with before John Cena pussies out, and then calls out the man he’ll be facing at Extreme Rules. John Cena’s music hits and the man of the hour makes his way down to the ring to his signature mixed reaction. Cena slides into the ring and immediately gets in Lesnar’s face, refusing to back down and facing the man beast head on. Lesnar looks set to pounce on him when Laurinaitis reminds them that they are here for a reason, trying to convince both men to take their seats. Cena says he’ll stand, saying that he’s seen enough of these contract signings to know that in about five minutes that table is getting flipped and all hell is going to break loose. Lesnar tells Cena that if all hell was going to break loose then he’d have knocked Cena out already. Cena smirks. He tells Lesnar to sign the contact so that they can make this thing official. Brock Lesnar states that John Cena is pretty eager to sign his career away, because that is what is going to happen if he steps in the ring with him at Extreme Rules. He offers Cena an opportunity to back out, to run away with his tail between his leg and his limbs intact but Cena refuses, saying that he’s going to face Brock Lesnar head on. Cena tells Lesnar that when you find a rabid animal the safest thing to do is to put it down before it can hurt anyone, and that’s what he’s going to do. He proceeds to sign the contract, and with a smirk Lesnar does so too. Laurinaitis announces that the match is signed and that in six days at Extreme Rules John Cena will face Brock Lesnar in an Extreme Rules match. Both men get in each other’s face and RAW goes off the air with this scene – John Cena and Brock Lesnar going toe to toe, six days before they face off one on one.

WWE NEWS: Praise for The Miz, Eve’s New Role, Diva Signing Updates- The Miz has been receiving rave reviews for his work on the past two editions of Monday Night RAW, which have seen him playing more of a face role. His opening show promo on this week’s RAW is being praised by many backstage as being on par with the work he was putting out when he was WWE Champion. There’s a lot of talk that this face turn might be the perfect thing for his stale character and that if he can keep up the solid performances there is a good chance that he will be involved in a world title feud sometime in the summer. - Eve’s new role as head of the Diva’s division came about after she suffered an ankle injury during a RAW live event two weeks ago. While it isn’t enough to keep her off television she won’t be cleared to wrestle for at least a month or two and creative decided to use this to take her character in a new direction as something of a stuck up authority figure alongside John Laurinaitis. There’s a strong possibility that it will lead to a Diva’s Championship feud with Layla down the line. - As we have reported in the past few weeks World Wrestling Entertainment are in talks with a number of women from the independent scene in the hope of bulking up the Diva’s division with women who can legitimately wrestle. Our sources have reported that WWE have offered contracts to both Lucha Libre USA’s Lizzy Valentine and SHIMMER’s Portia Perez, although there is no news on whether either of them have in fact signed with the company yet.

WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWNApril 27th 2012- Drew McIntyre Defeated Ezekial Jackson - Yoshi Tatsu & The Uso’s Defeated Jinder Mahal, Hunico & CamachoCUE OPENING VIDEO PACKAGE
- We get the usual pyrotechnics display before our huge main event is revealed, pitting the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus against Cody Rhodes. They’re cut off by the man who will challenge Sheamus for the title in two days, Daniel Bryan. He does his usual ‘Yes!’ routine as he asks whether he is going to become the new World Heavyweight Champion at Extreme Rules, but is soon cut off by the man himself. Sheamus tells Bryan not to worry, he isn’t going to beat the crap out of him tonight because he wants to wait until Extreme Rules. The two go back and forth with Bryan claiming that he is the only one who knows what they’re doing with submission moves and then tries pulling Sheamus into the Yes Lock. Sheamus easily powered out and Bryan narrowly avoided the Brogue Kick, escaping the ring and staring Sheamus down to kick off SmackDown. 1.) Mark Henry w/ Abraham Washington Defeated Percy Watson with the World’s Strongest Slam. A simple squash match to get Henry over as the monster heel that he is. He tore through Percy Watson, putting him down with the World’s Strongest Slam with ease. Following the match Mark Henry delivered a second World’s Strongest Slam as A.W. declared him as the “next World Champion”. - At the arena entrance Matt Striker is shown waiting for somebody. Almost instantly Mick Foley appears, the Hardcore legend making another appearance here on SmackDown. Striker asks Foley why he’s here tonight and Foley says that he has some issues to sort out with Dean Ambrose, and he’s going to do it tonight! - Backstage Matt Striker got a few words with Mark Henry and Abraham Washington on why Henry accepted A.W’s offer to manage him. Washington said that Henry is the World’s Strongest Man but that he’s overlooked week after week and why? Because he didn’t have a good agent, and now he has the best and will be the World Heavyweight Champion soon enough. Henry says that Washington “said it all” as the two head off. 2.) AJ Defeated Maxine with the Shining Wizard. After being threatened by Daniel Bryan last week it looked like the street was getting to AJ as she came into this match looking more aggressive and more unhinged than ever. There were times when she just seemed to be talking to herself, suitably freaking Maxine out long enough for AJ to hit the Shining Wizard for the victory. - Backstage Matt Striker gets a few words with Cody Rhodes about his huge main event match tonight. Rhodes says that it’s a sign of things to come. This Sunday he will defeat that mammoth Big Show and take back his Intercontinental Championship and then he’ll go and become a double champion when he becomes the World Heavyweight Champion. He’s interrupted by a cowbell holding Big Show. Show asks Rhodes how he expects to drag a five hundred pound giant around the ring, Rhodes saying that he’ll do it the same way he’s carried Big Show to some watchable matches the past few months before walking off. - We’re given an update on William Regal, who suffered a cervical disk prolapse last week at the hands of Dean Ambrose. Booker T states that there is no guarantee Regal will ever be in the squared circle again. They’re cut off by Mick Foley. Foley says he had no problem when Ambrose was only calling him out, but that now he’s become a danger to everyone else. He says that he knows how dangerous Dean Ambrose is because he used to be like him. Ambrose cuts him off from the ramp, saying that finally Foley can admit that he is to blame for Ambrose’s lost generation. Ambrose blames Foley for creating a generation of suicidal wrestlers who thought they had to put their bodies on the line to be a success. Foley tells Ambrose that he doesn’t belong near a WWE arena, but the general manager of RAW and SmackDown, John Laurinaitis, comes out and announces that a lot of what Ambrose says is true, and then announces that he’s granted him a WWE contract! Laurinaitis tells Foley that if he doesn’t leave the arena right now he’ll never be allowed near a WWE ring again as Ambrose heads towards the ring. 3.) Dean Ambrose Defeated Tyson Kidd with the Regal Stretch. Say what you want about Dean Ambrose, this guy can wrestle. Ambrose and Kidd put on a real clinic in the ring, Kidd’s technical prowess facing off with Ambrose’s roughneck, brutal style. Ambrose ended up taking control after blasting Kidd with William Regal’s signature Knee Trembler, and then started laughing disgustingly as he locked in the Regal Stetch to take the submission victory in his WWE debut. - Backstage John Laurinaitis is shown watching the end of the match, looking impressed while Theodore Long looks disgusted. Laurinaitis tells him that Ambrose is what real talent looks like, something that Long couldn’t recognise. They’re interrupted by Aksana and her new boyfriend, Antonio Cesaro. Laurinaitis tells Long to give them some privacy as the former general manager leaves looking dejected. - Back in the ring Kane spoke about how Randy Orton considers himself a Viper, that he thinks he has control of his aggression and hate, but he is wrong. Randy Orton is nothing but a fraud. Kane says that he knows what the true power of hate is, and Randy Orton hasn’t even touched the surface of what it can do. Kane is cut off by Randy Orton, who tells Kane that he can talk all he wants, because he’s done talking. Orton charges the ring, Kane narrowly escaping before the Viper hits it. Kane exited through the crowd as Orton told him to face him now! 4.) Randy Orton Defeated Heath Slater with the RKO. This was definitely the wrong night to face Randy Orton as the Viper destroyed Heath Slater, putting him away quickly with the RKO and proving that he is more than ready for Kane in two days at Extreme Rules. - Backstage Theodore Long is shown waiting outside of the office of general manager John Laurinaitis. The door opens, and Aksana and Antonio Cesaro exit, Laurinaitis telling Cesaro to come back next week and he’ll make sure that he has a match. Cesaro and Aksana walk off, and Laurinaitis tells Long that Aksana has definitely upgraded, laughing as he re-enters his office. - Returning to the ring and we get our second debut of the night as our ‘intellectual saviour’ Damien Sandow makes his first physical appearance here on SmackDown. Sandow says that when he was walking through the backstage area he was sickened by how many ingrates and imbeciles litter the WWE locker rooms. Sandow says that he is their guiding light and that his crusade against intellectual mediocrity begins now. 5.) Damien Sandow vs. Ryback never began. As soon as Damien Sandow saw who his opponent was he looked a whole lot less confident. As Ryback was entering the ring Sandow attacked him, looking to take him out before the bell could even ring. Ryback quickly fought back, Sandow narrowly avoiding losing his head to a huge Lariat. Sandow quickly exited the ring, backing up the ramp as the referee had no idea what to do and ended up just throwing the match out, Ryback shouting “Feed me Sandow!” - We get a rundown of the upcoming Extreme Rules pay per view, featuring Sheamus defending the World Heavyweight Championship in a submission match against Daniel Bryan and a last man standing match between Randy Orton and Kane! - Prior to the main event Daniel Bryan joined the announce table, getting a first-hand look at his Extreme Rules opponent. 6.) Sheamus Defeated Cody Rhodes with the Celtic Cloverleaf. A big main event that definitely lived up to its hype as these two superstars showed why they’re the future of SmackDown. Daniel Bryan’s commentary was hilarious as he answered every question he was asked with “Yes!” As both men went back and forth Rhodes narrowly avoided the Brogue Kick on two separate occasions before he was distracted by Big Show on the ramp. Rhodes turned straight into the Brogue Kick before Sheamus locked in the Celtic Cloverleaf. Rhodes had no choice but to tap out as Show walked backstage laughing. - Following the match Sheamus got to his feet, exhausted following this tough match, but he was blindsided from behind by a high kick to the back of the head by Daniel Bryan. Bryan quickly locked in the Yes Lock, Sheamus tapping out as SmackDown came to a close.

WWE News: WWE in talks with former ECW Star, Lizzy Valentine signs, Dean Ambrose Update, More...- Former ECW and WWE star Raven went for talks with World Wrestling Entertainment officials this past week and an inside source is claiming that the deal is for more than just a DVD or legends deal. WWE officials are apparently interested in bringing Raven in as an on screen manager to help train some of the younger stars with the art of cutting promos. The feeling backstage is that with guys like Dean Ambrose and Damien Sandow, both capable of cutting great promos, joining the main roster that the current crop of young stars need to work on their own skills. - Speaking of Dean Ambrose WWE officials were very impressed by his debut performance on Friday Night SmackDown when he faced off with Tyson Kidd. WWE officials are very high on Ambrose right now, believing that not only can he really perform in the ring but that he is already a far better talker than the majority of the roster. He is expected to build towards a match with Mick Foley at next months Over the Limit pay per view. - It was confirmed this week on one of the biggest Joshi news websites that Elizabeth Mikloski, better known as Lizzy Valentine, has signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. Valentine has previously wrestled in Wrestling Society X, where she managed current WWE superstar Evan Bourne, and most recently Lucha Libre USA. This is reportedly one of two women who the WWE have been looking to sign in recent weeks, with officials confident of signing the second, unrevealed woman sometime next week. - Full Sail University in Florida was reportedly booked by World Wrestling Entertainment this week for a regular spot that will span at least the next six months. No word on why the WWE want a single venue for regular shows but it is possible that it will be the new venue for future Florida Championship Wrestling shows.

WWE Friday Night SmackDown: Friday 27th April 2012...I thought Ezekiel Jackson was injured; nonetheless, good win for Drew McIntyre, and I'm hoping McIntyre can regain a lot of credibility lost in the past two years. The six-man tag team win for the Usos and Yoshi Tatsu against Jinder Mahal, Hunico and Camacho was an entertaining one, certainly worthy of main eventing WWE Superstars. Nice. Onto SmackDown, good promo to kick things off with Daniel Bryan looking out for his rematc with Sheamus. I'm interested in how it goes down this time over the World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules on Sunday. Mark Henry beating Percy Watson; bad choice of opening contest in my opinion. I do hate Percy Watson though. I'd have put on a more energetic, competitive match to kick off things. I'm so happy you've gone ahead with forwarding Mick Foley and Dean Ambrose's feud to television. AW and Mark Henry as an alliance could be fun, I imagine AW won't be pulling off the open mic skits though, unfortunately. AJ beating Maxine wasn't a lot, except from they were both on NXT Season 3. AJ going more crazy here was a right decision. Cody Rhodes and Sheamus should always be a great match; I hope to see them feuding over the World title one day. Poor William Regal. Mick Foley's promo was a good segment, although I did love Dean Ambrose's interruption. Ambrose then beating Tyson Kidd was fair, hopefully Kidd gets more over like in real life. Ambrose needed the win though, in his in-ring debut. I hope you stretch this feud with Foley out until SummerSlam. I hope you follow through with a good plan for Antonio Cesaro. In real life he has fallen flat short in all areas. Kane's promo was pretty good, preparing us for the big blow-off match with Randy Orton on Sunday. Randy Orton beating Heath Slater was fair, but nothing much to note of. Theodore Long waiting on Theodore Long? Typo. I'm not so sure about Damien Sandow debuting against Ryback, but nevermind. It hurt Ryback too, not being able to take out Sandow. I'm 50/50 on Sandow debuting right into an angle, especially with a guy like Ryback. Lastly, great use of the Celtic Cloverleaf; it's a beautiful submission hold. Good main event with Sheamus beating Cody Rhodes, despite help from the Big Show. Bryan ending the show standing tall was a nice call. Overall, a decent show, but it had far too many sub-par matches. You had guys like Kane and Big Show appear, yet do not a lot; and other than Sheamus/Rhodes, the show was mainly one-sided affairs. I'm excited to read Extreme Rules though, it looks pretty solid.

WWE EXTREME RULESApril 29th 2012YouTube Pre-Show0.) WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH – David Otunga [c] Defeated Santino Marella
[/size] CUE OPENING VIDEO- The show kicks off with a special video package that highlights tonight’s theme – Extreme! Tonight the WWE gets extreme as CM Punk defends the WWE Championship against Chris Jericho inside of a twenty foot steel cage in the culmination of a feud that has become more personal than just who is the best in the world. Sheamus enters foreign territory as he defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Daniel Bryan in a match that clearly favours the challenge – a submission match! And finally, the main event. John Cena, Brock Lesnar, an Extreme Rules match between two of the very best. All of this exclusively here tonight at WWE Extreme Rules. And it all kicks off… right now! - We head into the area as we get a spectacular pyrotechnics display as we pan around the near 15,000 fans in the Allstate Arena here in Rosemont, Illinois. We head down to the announce desk where our commentary team of Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and Booker T introduce us to the show and run down tonight’s huge card before they’re cut off by the music of Kane. The action starts right here, exclusively on pay per view! 1. LAST MAN STANDING MATCH) RANDY ORTON vs. KANE. There really was no better way to kick off a pay per view that focuses on the extreme than letting these two men loose around the arena to tear each other apart, and that’s exactly what they did. Both men went into this match fully intending to hurt the other to the point that Randy Orton didn’t even wait for the ring bell, sprinting to the ring and tackling Kane to the ground. Kane quickly fought back, the two going back and forth in the ring before things sprawled to the outside. Again Orton began taking the lead by using the ringside area to his advantage, including nailing Kane with the ring bell. No matter what Orton couldn’t put Kane down for the count and soon enough the Big Red Machine was fighting back, sending Orton over the security barricade and into the crowd with a huge clothesline. Kane followed, beating on Orton throughout the crowd before Randy grabbed a chair and slammed it across the back of Kane. Orton wailed on Kane with the chair but still couldn’t keep Kane down as Kane caught him with an uppercut. The brawl ended up taking both men back towards ringside but this time Orton ducked under a Kane clothesline attempt, back dropping him over the security barricade to the floor beneath. Orton capitalised, sending Kane head first into the steel steps and then suplexing him onto the ramp but even that was not enough to keep Kane down. Kane got himself back into it with a side slam down onto the ramp and then dragged the viper up towards the top of the stage where he promptly grabbed the throat of Orton, looking to chokeslam him straight off of the stage! Orton managed to slip out on the lift and when Kane turned Orton went for the RKO, only for Kane to push him away. Orton turned and Kane lifted him up going for the tombstone. Again Randy managed to slip out of the move and this time when he spun Kane around he was successful in connecting with the RKO on the stage. This time around Kane couldn’t make the ten count, giving Randy Orton the victory. RANDY ORTON DEFEATED KANE.- We cut backstage to the office of RAW and SmackDown general manager John Laurinaitis where Laurinaitis and United States Champion David Otunga are talking about tonight’s main event, laughing about how Brock Lesnar is finally going to rid them of their John Cena problem. Eve walks in, and Otunga doesn’t seem particularly happy to see her. Eve says that if they’re going to celebrate then they should do so properly, calling in Theodore Long who is dressed as a waiter and holding two glasses of champagne. She hands one to Laurinaitis and then takes one herself, leaving Otunga without one. Eve gives a fake apology, saying that it’s for management only and since he’s the United States champion he needs to set a good example. Otunga shakes his head but doesn’t say anything, instead barging past Theodore Long on his way out as we head back to ringside. 2. TRIPLE THREAT LADDER MATCH FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP) PRIMO & EPICO w/ Rosa Mendes vs. R-TRUTH & KOFI KINGSTON vs. DOLPH ZIGGLER & JACK SWAGGER w/ Vickie Guerrero . With six men of this calibre in the ring you just knew that this match was going to be fast paced and hard hitting, as well as loud and obnoxious courtesy of Vickie Guerrero on the outside. The match started out with all three teams just going at it in the ring exchanging blows before Ziggler managed to slip out of the ring and grab a ladder. Ziggler and Swagger took an end of the ladder each and attempted to take both teams out with it only for Primo & Epico to leap over the top while Kofi and R-Truth went under the ladder, all four men showing off their atheliticism before hitting a quadruple dropkick to the ladder that sent it smashing into Ziggler and Swagger. The two quickly rolled out of the ring, leaving the champions and R-Truth and Kingston to go at it in the ring. The four men put on an amazing back and forth sequence that saw them leaping and ducking around all kinds of moves before Epico and Primo were both sent retreating from the ring. Kingston flew over the top rope and took them both out with a suicide dive that gave Truth the first chance to retrieve the titles and he was halfway up the ladder when Dolph Ziggler reappeared, taking Truth out with an electric chair drop from the ladder. Ziggler didn’t get a chance to go after the titles as Kofi Kingston went on the attack following a springboard forearm. Kingston and Ziggler seemed even until Epico and Primo came back in and took both men out before Epico set up a ladder and headed up top. While R-Truth fought with Primo Jack Swagger slid into the ring and pushed the ladder over, only for Epico to leap off as he fell, landing feet first on the top rope, springboard backwards and take Swagger out with a hurricanrana DDT. As Epico got to his feet R-Truth slid into the ring and caught him out of nowhere with the Lie Detector before Swagger clotheslined Truth and himself over the top rope. With everybody down and out Vickie Guerrero slid in the ring and attempted to climb the ladder only for Rosa to pull her down, the two engaging in a catfight before all three teams pulled them apart. From there all hell broke loose as all three teams got their chance to take the titles home only to come up short. Kingston ended up plummeting from the top of the ladder to the outside and was completely absent for the rest of the match while Ziggler took both himself and R-Truth out of things by hitting a Zig Zag from the top of one ladder onto another. Swagger fought it out on top of side by side ladders with both Epico and Primo with Primo suicidally hitting a flip powebomb that took himself and Swagger out, letting Primo unhook the titles to retain. PRIMO & EPICO DEFEATED R-TRUTH & KOFI KINGSTON AND DOLPH ZIGGLER & JACK SWAGGER. PRIMO & EPICO RETAIN THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP.- Epico quickly drops off of the ladder, titles in hand, and checks on Primo, helping his tag team partner up onto his feet and handing him his WWE Tag Team Championship. The champions exit the ring, backing up the ramp with Rosa Mendes and holding up the tag team titles while the two remaining teams start to come to, realizing that they have just lost out on the opportunity to become the WWE Tag Team Champions here tonight. - We head backstage where Matt Striker is standing by with the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus. Striker asks for his thoughts on his submission match with Daniel Bryan tonight, saying that Sheamus will be playing Bryan’s game. Sheamus says that everybody keeps saying that, that people believe that he’s at some kind of disadvantage tonight. He isn’t. Sheamus says that just because Daniel Bryan has made his career as a submission wrestler doesn’t mean anything. Sheamus says that he grew up having to fight against the odds, that people always thought they could push him around because of the way he looks, but that when it came down to it, it always ended the same way. With Sheamus standing tall. He promises that tonight will be no different, that he’s going to kick Bryan’s head off, and then he’s going to make him tap out. 3. TEXAS BULLROPE MATCH FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP) BIG SHOW vs. CODY RHODES. If you are going to talk about anybody being at a disadvantage here tonight, it should really be Cody Rhodes. The rules for this one are simple, both men are attached by a Texas Bullrope with the only way to win being to touch all four corners of the ring in sequence. Rhodes knew this was going to be a difficult task which is why as soon as the bell rung he charged at Show, ducking under a very early WMD attempt and scooping up the cowbell attached to the middle of the rope before blasting Show in the back of the leg with it. It was quickly apparent that this was Rhodes gameplan as he went to work on the leg just throwing everything he could at it. Show eventually just dropped like a log giving Rhodes the chance to touch the corners, the challenger making it to two before Show used the rope to yank him away straight into a clothesline. Show hit a turnbuckle to break Cody’s run and then went on the attack himself, displaying his pure power by throwing Cody around the ring like a ragdoll. Cody would attempt to put distance between them but with the rope binding them together there was just nowhere he could go. Big Show threw Rhodes over the top rope and then yanked him right back over again with the rope, Rhodes stuttering onto his feet before Big Show hit him with a massive spear. Show then went for the turnbuckles, hitting two of them before Cody leapt on him from behind, hitting him repeatedly in the back of the head. Cody again went after the leg, delivering a low dropkick that dropped Big Show. Cody would again grab the cowbell and go to hit a kneeling Big Show in the skull with it only for the Intercontinental Champion to grab him around the throat, lift him and drop him straight down with a chokeslam. Show then went around the turnbuckles, but struggled due to the damage that had been done to the leg. He hit three before he saw Rhodes get to his feet. Cody grabbed the cowbell and went to strike Show with it only for Big Show to nail a WMD straight into the cowbell sending it crashing into Rhodes face. Cody dropped completely out cold as Big Show touched the final turnbuckle to win the match and retain the gold. BIG SHOW DEFEATED CODY RHODES; BIG SHOW RETAINS THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP.- The official releases Big Show from the bullrope and quickly slides in to check on Cody Rhodes who is just completely out of it after the WMD sent the cowbell into his face. Big Show is handed the Intercontinental Championship and raises it up high, having once again come out on top here tonight over Cody Rhodes. - We cut backstage where Scott Stanford is standing by with Chris Jericho, who later tonight will challenge CM Punk for the WWE Championship inside of a steel cage. Stanford asks for his thoughts on the match, wanting to know if he is intimidated by being stuck inside of that steel cage. Jericho scoffs at the mere thought of being intimidated by an alcoholic liar like CM Punk. Jericho says that CM Punk has gone too long lying about being the best in the world when it is obvious just who the best in the world truly is – him, Chris Jericho. Jericho says that CM Punk’s title reign is a farce and that tonight the WWE Championship comes to a man who can truly uphold the legacy of that title. Jericho finishes by saying that tonight, he saves the WWE. - A video package begins, highlighting the spectacle that was WrestleMania 28 and the World Heavyweight Championship match between Daniel Bryan and Sheamus where Bryan lost the title in a record eighteen seconds. We’re shown how Daniel Bryan has become obsessed with getting the title back, including a brief alliance with Alberto Del Rio and announcing that their title match would be a match that favoured Bryan considerably – a submission match. We’re shown that Sheamus isn’t completely helpless with these rules thanks to his adoption of the Celtic Cloverleaf but even with that in his arsenal Daniel Bryan has gotten the upper hand time and time again. Tonight Sheamus enters Daniel Bryan’s speciality with his World Heavyweight Championship on the line and only one will emerge the victor. 4. SUBMISSION MATCH FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP) SHEAMUS vs. DANIEL BRYAN. There was a strange atmosphere in the arena as this match begun because while the majority seemed to favour Sheamus in terms of who they wanted to win there was a resounding ‘Yes!’ chant that Bryan seemed to encourage just to get to Sheamus. It didn’t work, Sheamus exploding forward with a Brogue Kick attempt that Bryan only just avoided by ducking out of the ring, shaking his head as if to say that isn’t going to work this time. Sheamus quickly followed Bryan out of the ring only for Bryan to launch at him with strikes. Sheamus powered through, shoving Bryan backwards and again launching forwards with a Brogue Kick. This time Bryan ducked under and slid back into the ring, Sheamus quickly following him. Bryan hit the ropes and connected with a running high knee that dropped Sheamus which is when Bryan really brought out his gameplan by going to work on the arm and shoulder, the obvious aim being to weaken up Sheamus ready for the Yes Lock. Bryan used a variety of kicks and rest holds to work away at the shoulder of the World Heavyweight Champion only for the Great White to fight back, blasting Bryan in the jaw with a stiff elbow. Sheamus charged at him only for Bryan to duck down and pull the ropes with him. Sheamus went plummeting over but only landed on the ring apron and when Bryan got to his feet and turned he was taken out by the battering ram. It was here the Sheamus began his usual Brogue chant before going for the finishing move, Daniel Bryan again dodging and this time actually pulling Sheamus down for the Yes Lock. Sheamus fought out before it could get locked in and in a bizarre moment Sheamus actually managed to lock Bryan in the Yes Lock. Bryan struggled to fight out of his own submission move but managed to reach the nearby ropes, breaking the hold. Sheamus took firm control from here using his power moves to work away at the back and show that he knows exactly how to work this kind of match. He went for the Celtic Cloverleaf but Bryan managed to fight out and lock Sheamus in the Yes Lock. Sheamus struggled and it looked like we were about to crown a new World Heavyweight Champion until Sheamus used all of his strength to drag himself across the ring and reach the ropes. Bryan was furious and began beating on Sheamus but when he went for the high knee again Sheamus literally caught him mid-air and threw him face first into the turnbuckle, Sheamus running the ropes and connecting with a devastating Brogue Kick. Bryan dropped but so did Sheamus, exhausted by this point. The World Heavyweight Champion persevered and proceeded to lock in the Celtic Cloverleaf, leaving Bryan screaming in pain. Bryan nearly reached the ropes only for Sheamus to pull him away but still Bryan refused to tap. The move was locked in for at least a minute when Bryan passed out from the pain, the referee lifting and dropping the hand three times and calling for the bell. SHEAMUS DEFEATED DANIEL BRYAN; SHEAMUS RETAINS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.- The crowd erupted with cheers after this sublime submission match and particularly for Daniel Bryan, who refused to tap out despite the agonising pain that he must have been in. Sheamus got to his feet and was handed the World Heavyweight Championship, the Great White lifting the title in the air to a rapturous reaction while the official checked on a still unconscious Daniel Bryan. - We head backstage and look in on the locker room of the WWE Champion CM Punk. Punk is sat in there, looking down at the floor almost in a trance. Then suddenly he looks up, focused, ready for what is to come. He grabs his WWE Championship and walks out of the door with the look of a man heading for war. Up next CM Punk defends the WWE Championship against Chris Jericho inside of a twenty foot steel cage. - A video package airs. It starts by highlighting how Chris Jericho returned, how he promised to save us from the mediocrity and constant stealing from him. It highlighted CM Punk calling himself the best in the world and Chris Jericho coming out to correct him, stating that that is just another thing that CM Punk stole from him. Leading into WrestleMania 28 this feud was about who was truly the best in the world and when it came down to it, CM Punk triumphed. Following that match things got personal, with Chris Jericho bringing Punk’s family into play and repeatedly attacking the straight edge WWE Champion. This has all led to tonight. CM Punk and Chris Jericho enclosed within twenty foot of steel. No escape, no remorse, tonight, CM Punk and Chris Jericho settle their war with the WWE Championship on the line. 5. STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP) CM PUNK vs. CHRIS JERICHO. It took about five seconds to see exactly how personal this match was as CM Punk wasted no time in taking Jericho off of his feet and driving him back first into the cage, sending punches into the mid-section. Jericho managed to push Punk away and as Punk went in again Jericho drove his boots into the jaw of the straight edge superstar. Chris Jericho quickly went on the attack with multiple forearms but when he attempted to send Punk face first into the cell Punk countered by grabbing hold of the cage and leaping off with a flying back elbow. CM Punk quickly took control showing off a vicious streak that we haven’t seen from the usual meticulous champion. This came back to haunt him as his rashness in attacking Jericho led him to make mistakes, mistakes that Chris Jericho capitalised on without fail. The one that turned the tide of the match was when Punk went for the step up knee in the corner only for Jericho to counter, lifting Punk up face first into the cage and then drive him down onto his knee with a backbreaker, giving Jericho the first near fall of the match. Jericho continued on in this fashion, giving Punk few chances to fight back and really wearing down the WWE Champion. Following an enzuigiri Jericho began stalking Punk, waiting for him to get to his feet. Punk managed it and when he turned around Jericho went for the Codebreaker, only for Punk the grab the knees of Jericho and, with some freakish strength for a guy his size, lifted Jericho up into position for the GTS. Jericho managed to slip out the back, spinning Punk around and sweeping him onto his back for the Walls of Jericho. Chris managed to lock the signature submission move in, leaving Punk desperate for escape. Refusing the give up Punk clawed himself to the ropes, grabbing hold of them. While the commentators made the point that there are no rope breaks in a cage match they missed the point as Punk used the ropes to roll himself backwards through the legs of Jericho and sending him back first into the cage. As Jericho staggered away Punk pounced, lifting him up onto his shoulders and dropping him with the GTS but he could still only manage a near fall. Punk lifted Jericho up for another GTS but this time Jericho slipped out the back and nailed Punk with a Codebreaker. He went for the cover, but Punk got a shoulder up a split second before three. Jericho then began scaling the cage, knowing that if he couldn’t pin Punk he could still escape the cage. He got halfway before CM Punk somehow got to his feet and begin climbing after him, grabbing Jericho’s feet and giving him time to reach the challenger. The two exchanged blows at the fifteen feet point before Punk lashed out with a vicious high kick that sent Jericho’s skull colliding against the cage. Jericho dropped backwards onto the mat and Punk climbed up. He sat on the top of the cage, screamed “Best in the World” and climbed out, dropping to the floor to retain the WWE Championship. CM PUNK DEFEATED CHRIS JERICHO; CM PUNK RETAINS THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP.- CM Punk leans against the cage as the outside official hands him the WWE Championship, the crowd going mad as the first ever straight edge WWE Champion lifts the title up, once again screaming that he is the best in the world. He begins backing up the ramp, taking a single moment to look upon the ring, to look upon an unconscious Chris Jericho. Tonight CM Punk not only retained his WWE Championship, but he also conquered his demons inside of that steel cage. - We head backstage where Scott Stanford is getting John Cena’s thoughts on his match with Brock Lesnar here tonight. Scott wants to know whether John Cena is afraid of Brock Lesnar. Cena admits that he is, but that he hasn’t said otherwise. Brock Lesnar is a man to be feared, he’s a man who can hurt you, but that doesn’t mean a thing. John Cena says that being afraid doesn’t hurt him, it makes him stronger. He knows what Brock Lesnar is capable of, so he’s been training harder than he ever has before to make sure that tonight, whatever Brock Lesnar says or does, there will only be one man leaving with his head held high. And that man, is John Cena. 6. FALLS COUT ANYWHERE MATCH FOR THE WWE DIVA’S CHAMPIONSHIP) BETH PHOENIX vs. LAYLA. Following Layla’s return several weeks ago she had made it very clear that she intends to become the WWE Diva’s Champion again and what better place to do it than the very same pay per view where she was put out of action for close to a year? Beth Phoenix came into this one determined to show Layla that being pretty isn’t a substitute for being talented, and quickly made her point by using her power game to control the early parts of this match. However Beth’s determination to prove her point backfired. As she went for the gorilla press slam Layla slipped out the back and delivered a dropkick that sent Beth through the ropes and to the outside. Layla followed, the two actually engaging in a pretty impressive brawl on the outside for Diva’s standards. Layla definitely looked impressive if a little bit rusty, taking control before Beth sent her into the steel steps. Beth lifted Layla up and set her up on the glam slam on top of the steps only for Layla to counter and roll Beth straight into the steps. Beth staggered backwards straight into the Nasty Kick as Layla made the pinfall on the outside, getting the three! LAYLA DEFEATED BETH PHOENIX; LAYLA WINS THE WWE DIVA’S CHAMPIONSHIP.- Layla is quickly handed the WWE Diva’s Championship as she slides into the ring, ascending the turnbuckle and raising the title up high, the crowd cheering. Here tonight, exactly one year after she was put on the shelf with a potentially career threatening injury Layla has defeated Beth Phoenix to become the WWE Diva’s Champion. - We cut backstage where WWE Champion CM Punk is shown walking through the arena corridors, staff members and other stars congratulating him on his successful title defence against Chris Jericho earlier tonight. He comes to a stop as he spots Daniel Bryan sitting in the trainer’s room. Punk stands in the doorway, looking at Bryan who looks angry as he sees Punk. CM Punk asks Daniel Bryan if “you ever thought we’d be here, me as WWE Champion and you as… oh wait, you lost again tonight, didn’t you?” Bryan stands up and gets in Punk’s face, telling him that he never tapped out, therefore he never lost. Daniel Bryan tells CM Punk that he better hope they don’t end up on the same show after tomorrow night’s draft, because if they are then he’s going to take that WWE Championship. CM Punk asks him if he really thinks he can beat him. “YES! YES! YES!” Daniel Bryan continues chanting yes as CM Punk shakes his head, walking off and leaving Bryan still chanting as we cut away. - We cut to another corridor where we see Brock Lesnar heading towards the ring just moments before his Extreme Rules match with John Cena. Josh Matthews catches him as he walks and asks if he can get a few words on whether he thinks he can beat John Cena tonight. Lesnar grabs him around the collar, asking him whether he really just asked him that. Lesnar says that not only is he going to beat John Cena tonight, but he’s going to break him. Lesnar pushes Matthews away and continues on as we head to a video package. - A video package begins, highlighting the shocking return of Brock Lesnar the night after WrestleMania. On that night Brock Lesnar interrupted John Cena and delivered an F-5 heard all around World Wrestling Entertainment. In the week that followed Lesnar promised to return legitimacy back to the WWE and that the only way to do that is to get rid of the man who has destroyed this company’s reputation – John Cena. Brock would continually assault John Cena to the point that Cena told Lesnar that there was only one thing he could do, the same thing that you do when you find a rabid animal – put it down. Tonight John Cena looks to halt Brock Lesnar’s reign of destruction before it can truly begin, but can he truly halt the war machine? 7. EXTREME RULES MATCH) JOHN CENA vs. BROCK LESNAR. The entire night has been fairly brutal thus far, but I think it was quite clear to everybody in this arena that this one was going to be a drag out, knock down fight. As soon as the ring bell rang Brock Lesnar charged, taking Cena off of his feet and driving him back first into the mat, unleashing with some stuff looking right hands to the face and body of Cena. Cena fared better than he managed a few weeks ago, blocking the worst of the blows and escaping the mount, rolling out of the ring. Lesnar followed to the outside, taking Cena out with a chop block and just continuing his assault, sending Cena back first into the security barricade and the ring apron. The war machine was determined not to give Cena a second’s rest, just wanting to hurt the former WWE Champion, but it was this determination that gave Cena his first opening, countering Lesnar’s attempt to send him into the steel steps and returning the favour. Lesnar crashed into the steel steps and Cena quickly delivered a low dropkick to the ribs, sending Lesnar’s back against the steps again. Cena mounted Lesnar, looking to get some payback from earlier with some blows of his own. Lesnar showed off his MMA skills by transitioning out of the mount and as the two got their feet Lesnar blasted Cena with a vicious right hand that dropped him to the floor. Cena began spitting up blood, the right hand having split his lip open. Lesnar grabbed Cena, slamming him head first down onto the steel steps. As Cena attempted to figure out where he was Lesnar walked to the commentary table, throwing the timekeeper out of his chair and over the security barricade and grabbing his chair, folding it up and slamming it into the back of a kneeling Cena. Lesnar grabbed Cena’s arm, outstretching and slammed the chair down upon it, Cena screaming out in pain as Lesnar threw the chair into the ring. Lesnar grabbed Cena and rolled him into the ring before pulling apart the steel steps, pushing them into the ring as he slid in after. Lesnar put the boots to Cena’s now injured right arm before grabbing the steel steps and wedging them in the corner. He attempted to whip Cena into them but just like before John somehow managed to counter, sending the war machine straight into the steps. As Lesnar staggered out Cena attempted to lift him up for the Attitude Adjustment but a combination of his injured arm and a clubbing elbow to the side of the head meant Cena just couldn’t pull it off. Lesnar dropped behind Cena and lifted him up for the F-5. Cena managed to escape but was sent veering shoulder first into the steel steps. As he stumbled out Lesnar lifted him up and dropped him with the F-5! Lesnar went for the cover and… no, he could only manage a near fall! Lesnar proceeded to lift Cena up and went for another F-5, this time onto the steel chair, but Cena somehow landed on his feet bounced off of the ropes and went for the big shoulder block, only for Lesnar to grab the chair and smash it into the shoulder mid move. Cena dropped to the floor and Lesnar stalked him, only this time when Cena rose Lesnar grabbed the arm and dropped down, locking Cena in a devastating Kimura! Cena held on as long as he humanly could, but when the arm seemed to break Cena had no choice but to tap out! BROCK LESNAR DEFEATED JOHN CENA.- Brock Lesnar released the Kimura, the damage clearly having been done. The referee threw up the ‘X’ and medical staff rushed to the ring as John Cena shouted out that it was broken, his arm looking disjointed and lifeless. Officials quickly roll Cena out of the ring, not wanting to risk it with Brock Lesnar. Lesnar just watches, grinning sickly at the damage that he has done to John Cena. Cena is bloodied, his arm disjointed and worst of all, he looks completely beaten. Lesnar roars in the ring, having overcome WWE’s greatest hope, as Extreme Rules goes off the air.[/center][/font][/blockquote]

WWE Extreme Rules: Sunday 29th April 2012...I can't believe nobody's given you a reply yet. Let's get to it. David Otunga beating Santino Marella to retain the WWE United States Championship on the YouTube Pre-Show was a good call, not bad at all. Good opening contest with Randy Orton facing Kane in a Last Man Standing match. As expected, it went all over the place, but Orton winning in the end was the right decision of course. David Otunga sure got dressed pretty quick. I like that John Laurinaitis is still using Theodore Long as a...sidekick (for lack of a better term). I do love that you gave the WWE Tag Team Championship match a Ladder match stipulation, it's enough to get the tag team division going again. Primo and Epico are so underrated. Great defense by Primo and Epico, overcoming the star powered teams of Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler & R-Truth and Kofi Kingston. If I'm honest, if the Big Show actually met Cody Rhodes in a Texas Bullrope match, I'd imagine it'd be a squash. Good defense of the WWE Intercontinental Championship by Big Show against Cody though. I wonder how long Show's title reign is going to go. Up next, solid match with Sheamus and Daniel Bryan going at it in a WrestleMania rematch, a submission match for the World Heavyweight Championship. I love the Cloverleaf submission, so it was great to see Sheamus pick up the win as expected. I hope you can make Sheamus' title reign look interesting, though. He's had an eventfully lacklustrous reign so far in real life. A hell of a Steel-Cage match to settle the score between CM Punk and Chris Jericho, Punk beating Jericho to retain the WWE Championship. Hoping that both men go on to better things now this lively feud is done with. Layla beating Beth Phoenix to win the WWE Divas Championship proved to be a decent one, we needed one title change tonight, anyway. The Falls Count Anywhere stipulation did the job I guess. Wow, getting Punk's next feud set up very quickly with Daniel Bryan I see. Leave AJ and the love triangle out of it, please. Lastly, solid main event with the Extreme Rules match. John Cena and Brock Lesnar had a decent match, although I sort of disagree with Cena losing: he already lost momentum losing to The Rock at WrestleMania XXVIII, but now losing to Lesnar too...hmm. It does make Lesnar look strong in his first match back in 2012, so that's cool enough for me. Let's hope Cena gets his mojo back after this show. Overall, a decent pay-per-view; it was everything it could possibly be following WrestleMania. Keep up the good work.

Big way to get Extreme Rules started with Last Man Standing. I expected Orton to go over here, as I doubt he'd ever be kept down for ten. Kind of wish that Orton had put Kane away with something bigger though, as I feel like an RKO to the stage is deadly, but not quite devastating enough to keep Kane down for a ten count. Very good Triple Ladder match for the Tag Titles. Good to see you making Epico and Primo into something big here. It's been a very long time since a team has been considered an established team in the WWE. Like the Bullrope stipulation and good to see Big Show get another win over Cody, as in my opinion, the rough stipulation favored Show. Kind of wished you would've had a RAW match in between these series of Smackdown matches, like maybe sticking the Divas match in between. But that's just a minor thing. Expected Sheamus to win the Submission match despite the stip favoring Bryan. Lol at Sheamus using the Celtic cloverleaf, I like that. Bryan passing out was definitely a way better finish then him tapping out, as I could never see that happening. Punk escaping from the Cage leaves a possibility for another match between him and Jericho. Not really a fan of Punk screaming "best in the world!" at the top of the cage before he escaped though. Just seemed kind of corny honestly. Layla winning the Divas belt is okay but I didn't really like that she won it in real life either so I dont really care for it. Thank god that you had Brock go over. Absolutely the right choice. Surprised Cena tapped out, as I expected the F-5 to be the finish. But wow, that gives the Kimura a HUGE boost as the most devastating submission move in the WWE. Love it. Awesome finish. Solid PPV but for me the Main Event and aftermath was the best part and a very fun read.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW April 30th 2012
- Kelly Kelly Defeated Rosa Mendes - Kofi Kingston Defeated Curt Hawkins w/ Tyler Reks
CUE OPENING VIDEO PACKAGE
- We kick off with a video recap of Extreme Rules before the usual pyrotechnics display hits as we are welcomed to the 2012 draft edition of Monday Night RAW. We’re quickly cut off by CM Punk, who hits the ring to talk about his successful title defence last night at Extreme Rules. As Punk talks about how he is the best in the world he’s cut off by Daniel Bryan, who tells Punk he’s dreaming if he believes that. He reminds Punk that he came through the independent scene as well, only he was always better. Sheamus interrupts, himself reminding Bryan about how he’s beaten him twice at two consecutive pay per views. Bryan screams that he never tapped out, therefore he never lost. As the three go back and forth John Laurinaitis interrupts, announcing tonight’s main event, pitting Sheamus & Daniel Bryan against CM Punk… and Lord Tensai. All three men seem irate as we cut to commercials. 1.) Alberto Del Rio Defeated Randy Orton to earn RAW a draft pick. The WWE draft kicked off in style here as two of WWE’s top stars faced off. A back and forth contest saw Orton set up for the RKO only for a distraction by Ricardo Rodriguez to stop him, giving Del Rio time to roll him up and grab the tights to steal the victory. Following the match Orton nailed Del Rio with the RKO, before Intercontinental Champion Big Show was drafted to RAW. - We cut to the general manager’s office as Daniel Bryan storms in, confronting John Laurinaitis and his assistant Eve. Bryan demands that Laurinaitis change the main event, refusing to team with ‘that barbarian’ Sheamus. Laurinaitis says no, but Bryan shouts back ‘Yes!’. The two go back and forth saying ‘No!’ and ‘Yes!’ before Bryan gets frustrated and storms off, leaving Laurinaitis and Eve completely confused. - A graphic shows that later tonight John Cena will make a big announcement following his loss to Brock Lesnar last night at Extreme Rules. 2.) Damien Sandow Defeated Zack Ryder to earn SMACKDOWN a draft pick. Prior to the match Sandow promised to rid the WWE of Ryder’s buffoonery, and he did a pretty good job of keeping that guarantee, controlling most of the match and putting Ryder away with the Straight Jacket Neckbreaker. As a result Dolph Ziggler was drafted to SmackDown. - We cut backstage where Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Vickie Guerrero see the announcement of Ziggler being drafted. Vickie and Swagger freak out but Ziggler seems chilled out about it, saying that he can show off no matter what show and no matter who he is with. Eve overhears this, and says good, because she was just coming to tell them that tonight both Ziggler and Swagger have a match… against each other! Swagger and Vickie freak out again but Ziggler just says he’ll see them out there and walks off. - A series of graphics run us through what we still have to come, including a battle royal for two draft picks, Dolph Ziggler taking on Jack Swagger, a major announcement from John Cena and the huge main event featuring Sheamus and Daniel Bryan against CM Punk and Lord Tensai! 3. BATTLE ROYAL FOR TWO DRAFT PICKS) Big Show, David Otunga and Kane Remained. The order of elimination was Trent Barreta, Curt Hawkins, Tyler Reks, Hunico, Percy Watson, R-Truth, Drew McIntyre, Darren Young, The Great Khali, Ezekial Jackson, Kofi Kingston, Santino Marella, Yoshi Tatsu, Heath Slater, Titus O’Neill, Tyson Kidd and finally Cody Rhodes. As a result Cody Rhodes & Tamina Snuka were drafted to RAW. Following the announcement Big Show and Kane delivered a double chokeslam to David Otunga. - We head backstage where John Cena is showing entering the arena, his hand in a cast. Todd Grisham attempts to get an interview with him about his big announcement here tonight, but Cena simply says that he’ll find out when everyone else finds out. Cena seems uncharacteristically sombre here tonight on RAW. - As we return to ringside The Miz makes his entrance, getting an uncharacteristic pop from the crowd. Miz talks about how tonight he isn’t even booked tonight on RAW because John Laurinaitis either has something against him, or he’s just an idiot. Both are probably true. Laurinaitis interrupts, saying that if he wants a match then he can have one. In fact, he’s got an opponent for him right here – Mark Henry! 4.) Mark Henry w/ Abraham Washington Defeated The Miz to earn SMACKDOWN a draft pick. The Miz was caught off guard here, but he still fought valiantly against the World’s Strongest Man while AW shouted at ringside about how Henry is the next World Champion. The Miz used his typical dirty tricks to stay in it, but a distraction by AW let Henry hit the World’s Strongest Slam to take the victory. As AW hyped up Mark Henry R-Truth was drafted to SMACKDOWN. - Backstage we see R-Truth and Kofi Kingston, both men disappointed at Truth being drafted to SmackDown. The two say that they had a good run before Truth assured Little Jimmy that he’ll be coming with him over to Friday Nights. 5.) Layla & Kaitlyn Defeated The Bella Twins to earn SMACKDOWN a draft pick. The Diva’s got in on the draft action here as the new Diva’s Champion Layla showed off her stuff. Not even twin magic could help RAW tonight as Layla hit the Nasty Kick on Brie to take the victory. As a result the United States Champion David Otunga was drafted to SMACKDOWN. Immediately following Layla was blindsided by Beth Phoenix and was left lying by the Glam Slam. - We cut to a dark room, a single light illuminating the sole man inside. Dean Ambrose. Ambrose says that last week he showed everyone the kind of man he is, the kind of man that Mick Foley has made him. He says that Mick Foley has created a generation of sick, twisted men willing to kill themselves to get ahead, and that everything he has done, everything he does, is all Mick Foley’s fault. Dean Ambrose will be in action later tonight, exclusively on Monday Night RAW! - Returning to RAW we go backstage where AJ is congratulating Kaitlyn on her victory earlier tonight. Kaitlyn suddenly goes quiet, AJ turning to find Daniel Bryan standing there. He reminds her of his promise to make her life a living hell if they’re both on the same brand by the end of the night. “Clocks ticking AJ.” Bryan laughs as he walks away. Kaitlyn attempts to console AJ but AJ screams at her to leave her alone and walks away. 6.) Epico & Primo w/ Abraham Washington Defeated The Uso’s to earn RAW a draft pick. Having already led one client to victory here tonight Washington managed it again as the WWE Tag Team Champions continued their impressive streak, Epico pinning Jimmy Uso after the Backstabber. Christian was drafted to RAW. - We head backstage to the locker room of CM Punk where he’s preparing for his match later tonight. In walks Lord Tensai, and the tag team partners for tonight stare each other down. Punk says he doesn’t like Tensai, he knows they’re only teaming together because John Laurinaitis is out to get him, but that he intends to win tonight with or without Tensai. Lord Tensai doesn’t say a word, just turning and walking out of the locker room. - We get another reminder that later tonight CM Punk and Lord Tensai will face off with Sheamus and Daniel Bryan, before being told that tomorrow exclusively on WWE.COM there will be a supplemental draft! 7.) Dolph Ziggler Defeated Jack Swagger w/ Vickie Guerrero to earn SMACKDOWN a draft pick. After being drafted earlier in the night Dolph Ziggler obviously had something to prove against his former tag team partner. Vickie seemed conflicted at ringside but that changed when Ziggler ignored her advances. Dolph soon countered a Gutwrench and connected with the Zig Zag to take the victory. Chris Jericho was drafted to SMACKDOWN and made an immediate impact, sliding into the ring and laying out Ziggler with the codebreaker! - We return to RAW’s third hour tonight with John Cena hitting the ring, sombre and with his arm in a cast. Cena talks about losing to Brock Lesnar tonight, announcing that as a result of the Kimura lock his arm was broken in two places. As a result he is going to be out of action for an undetermined amount of time. Cena says that when he comes back, he’s going to come after Brock Lesnar and he’s going to beat the holy hell out of him! Suddenly Lesnar comes out of nowhere and attacks Cena again, John unable to fight back because of the broken arm. Within moments Lesnar has broken the cast and has locked Cena in the Kimura lock! Cena screams in pain as referee’s manage to break up the hold, medical attention needed for Cena as Lesnar walks away smirking. 8.) Dean Ambrose Defeated Alex Riley to earn SMACKDOWN a draft pick. Earlier in the night Ambrose said that everything he does is on Mick Foley’s head, and if this match is anything to by then Foley has a lot to answer for. Ambrose ripped Riley apart, just beating on him in dominant fashion and putting him away with the Midnight Special. Following the match Ambrose nailed Riley with the Knee Trembler, again mocking the injured William Regal, before Alberto Del Rio was drafted to SMACKDOWN. - We go backstage where Todd Grisham is standing by with Daniel Bryan and Sheamus, who later tonight will have to team together against another unusual team, CM Punk and Lord Tensai. Grisham asks if they can work together tonight, Daniel Bryan saying that as long as Sheamus lets him do all the work they’ll be fine. Sheamus reminds him he beat him last night, but Daniel Bryan says he never tapped out. He tells Sheamus to let him take care of things tonight. Sheamus says no. ‘YES!’ The two go back and forth, screaming ‘YES!’ and ‘NO!’ repeatedly as we cut away. - We get an announcement that this Friday night on SmackDown Mick Foley will call out Dean Ambrose! 9.) Brodus Clay Defeated Jinder Mahal to earn RAW a draft pick. Jinder Mahal was looking to put a stop to the Funkasaurus here tonight but came up short, being dropped by the ‘Ah, Funk It’ in quick fashion. Immediately following the match Clay is attacked by the Prime Time Players, who beat Clay down until Zack Ryder again makes the save once again, running off the Prime Time Players. Amidst all the chaos it is announced that the currently injured Ted DiBiase was drafted to RAW. - We head backstage where Brock Lesnar is preparing to leave the arena after his brutal attack on John Cena earlier tonight. John Laurinaitis rushes up to him, telling him that he can’t just go around hurting people like that. Lesnar threateningly asks whether he is telling him what to do but Laurinaitis says these aren’t his words, they Triple H’s. Laurinaitis reveals that the COO is coming to RAW next week and wants to speak with Brock Lesnar. Lesnar grins, saying that it’s about damn time. - We get a split screen view of our two main event teams heading towards the ring. Representine SmackDown – Sheamus and Daniel Bryan. Representing RAW – CM Punk and Lord Tensai. This one should be interesting, and it’s here, exclusively on Monday Night RAW! 10.) CM Punk & Lord Tensai Defeated Sheamus & Daniel Bryan to earn RAW a draft pick. The focus on this match was of course whether the two teams could manage to work together, something that was quickly established as not happening. Both teams nearly came to blows multiple times and mid-way through the match Sheamus caught Bryan with a Brogue Kick after Punk ducked. Sheamus was left at a two on one disadvantage before Tensai unsurpsingly turned on Punk. Punk was saved by The Miz, who came from behind and hit Tensai with the Skull Crushing Finale. Moments later Punk nailed Sheamus with the GTS and got the three count. - The draft randomizer goes into motion once again, eventually coming to a stop. The crowd go crazy as Daniel Bryan was drafted to RAW. Punk smirked but was suddenly grabbed by Bryan and dragged to the floor, being locked in the Yes! Lock. Punk held out but ended up tapping to Daniel Bryan as RAW came to an end.[/font][/blockquote]

I felt that there should have been a WWE Draft this year in real life but glad that you finally rectified that and gave the WWE Draft the justice it deserves
Alberto Del Rio beating my man Randy Orton to earn RAW a draft pick, I am all right with that but I was even more than all right with Big Show the Intercontinental Champion being drafted over to RAW because now the Intercontinental Championship is now back on Monday nights where it belongs
Daniel Bryan's segment with Eve and Big Johnny, I just had to laugh because that is how funny this segment was but at the same time even I was confused but I know this, that I want Big Johnny gone as GM and I want AJ as RAW GM
I wonder what Cena's announcement will be, hopefully it will be taking a nice long vacation
Damien Sandow beating Zack Ryder to earn Smackdown a draft pick was great, and even better the draft pick being Dolph Ziggler being drafted over to Smackdown, Dolph being drafted over to Friday nights, hopefully Vickie and Swagger won't be there to hold him back because all they have done is ride his coattails, he doesn't need them anymore
Love that Dolph was being so non-chalant about the whole thing, hopefully this means we get to see a face turn from Dolph, while Vickie and Swagger are going nuts
Battle Royal for 2 draft picks and RAW winning the battle royal and then Cody Rhodes being drafted over to RAW, hopefully with Cody back on Monday nights he can become a main eventer on RAW now and Tamina Snuka on RAW I hope she ends up going for that Divas Championship
Loving this face turn of The Miz, it is about time he turns face too, he sort of reminds me sort of like Shawn Michaels turning face in 1995 but at the same time reminding me of The Rock when Rock turned face in 1999 and hopefully Miz can get a push
Miz having to face Mark Henry and then losing to Henry with Smackdown getting a draft pick and then R-Truth getting drafted over to Smackdown, I want to see Truth turn heel again because as a heel he was just so entertaining and especially when he said that someone was gonna get got was funny as hell and especially when he was talking about conspiracies, it was funny as hell but for Truth to turn heel, you should have him still have that humor but at the same time have him come off as being completely serious making him more of a serious heel
Otunga the United States Champion Harvard Law School graduate being drafted over to Smackdown, that's great because the US Title is back where it belongs, back on Friday nights but I loved Layla being blindsided by Beth
Dean Ambrose, I am really intrigued by his dark character and can't wait to see him in action later on
Daniel Bryan promising to make AJ's life a living hell if they are both on the same brand but it is possible they could still end up on opposite brands
Epico and Primo beating The Usos to earn a draft pick for RAW, and the draft pick being Christian, I hope you have Christian as a heel on RAW because he is much more enjoyable as a heel but for Christian I hope you don't have him as a cowardly, whiny heel but you have him as a vicious, aggressive psychotic heel like how Edge was and make Christian like an Ultimate Opportunist type of character but not so similar
I loved Tensai and Punk backstage with Tensai not even saying a word to Punk with Punk doing all the talking and Tensai walking away, I smell a rat
Dolph beating Swagger to earn Smackdown a draft pick and then for the draft pick to be Chris Jericho being drafted over to Friday nights, I want to see Jericho feud with Randy Orton considering Orton punted him in the skull punted him out of the WWE and Jericho has never really gotten revenge for that, but also I would love to see Jericho then set his sights on Sheamus and the World Heavyweight Championship
- But also loved Jericho giving Dolph a Code-Breaker
- Cena on the shelf, this makes me so happy, he deserves to be on the shelf for an undisclosed amount of time, maybe Cena is back by SummerSlam or he is back by Survivor Series but then him making a vow that when he comes back, he is going to take Lesnar out, well good luck with that because Lesnar has been a war machine on the warpath ever since coming back to WWE, and Lesnar's Kimura Lock is the most dangerous submission in the WWE right now and as soon as he locks it on, no one can escape
- Definitely loved it when Lesnar attacked Cena again and then locking it on again while Cena was defenseless with his arm being in the sling, just goes to show you that Lesnar does not care about anyone or anything except himself and being in control, Lesnar is the "Man" right now in the WWE
- Dean Ambrose was impressive winning against Riley earning Smackdown a draft pick and the draft pick ends up being Del Rio getting drafted to Smackdown, you know Del Rio is also going to be gunning for Sheamus and that World Title
- Brodus Clay beating Jinder Mahal to earn RAW a draft pick and the draft pick being Ted DiBiase, hopefully when DiBiase comes back, he gets a huge push being injured for so long
- Brock Lesnar's segment with Big Johnny, love it but with HHH the COO coming next week, you know Lesnar is going to take HHH out just like he did Cena, and then who else is there going to be for Brock to conquer
- Punk and Tensai beating Sheamus and Daniel Bryan to earn RAW a draft pick and then the draft pick ends up being Daniel Bryan in a shocker that not even I saw coming, Bryan is now on Monday nights again and then he immediately makes his presence felt by grabbing Punk and putting him in the Yes Lock, just goes to show you that Bryan vs Punk is going to happen at Over the Limit

Supplemental Draft Review
With Bateman on RAW, perhaps we will get to see him in action sometime and with McIntyre hopefully you give him back the moniker of The Chosen One and actually have him live up to his hype giving him a monumental push skyrocketing him back to where he belongs, in the main event
Big Zeke on RAW too, he needs to turn heel and hopefully pair him up with a manager to make him more of a monster heel
Hunico on RAW not a bad idea either, same goes for The Usos
Jinder Mahal on the A show, finally
Kaitlyn on RAW, hopefully she will get a push towards that Divas Title
Yoshi Tatsu as for him, his best bet would be being paired off in a tag team
The Bellas on Smackdown, just where they should be, perfect fit for both of them
Evan Bourne on Smackdown, he can go for that WWE United States Championship or start another tag team
Zack Ryder on Smackdown, he can win back the WWE United States Championship and get back a title that he should have never even have lost in the first place
Hawkins and Reks on Smackdown, they can revitalize the tag team division on that show
And as for Mason Ryan, he definitely deserves a push on Smackdown and he should get one but as a monster heel, as a powerhouse
And as for JTG, I don't expect anything from him at all

WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWNMay 4th 2012- Trent Barreta Defeated Camacho - The Great Khali Defeated Curt Hawkins w/ Tyler ReksCUE OPENING VIDEO- Following a new opening video we head to the announcers who promote the first edition of SmackDown following the draft. Their cut off by general manager John Laurinaitis who heads to the ring. He talks about how he’s a busy man, how managing both RAW and SmackDown as well as being the senior-executive vice president of talent relations takes up a lot of his time, which is why right now he is going to announce an assistant general manager who can manage SmackDown when he can’t be around – Eve! Eve comes out, thanks John Laurinaitis for the opportunity, and then announces her first ever match – a twenty man over the top battle royal to crown the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, right here tonight on SmackDown! 1.) R-Truth & Zack Ryder Defeated David Otunga & Heath Slater. The United States Champion teamed up with his former Nexus teammate here tonight, putting up quite the fight against new SmackDown stars R-Truth and Zack Ryder. A solid back and forth match saw Otunga abandon his partner, escaping up the ramp and leaving slater to take a Rough Ryder and the pinfall. - We get a main event reminder. Here tonight twenty men will face off in an over the top rope battle royal, the winner will challenge Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship at Over The Limit! - Dolph Ziggler hits the ring next, now running solo after being drafted away from Vickie Guerrero and Jack Swagger on RAW. Ziggler talks about Chris Jericho attacking him from behind on RAW, calling Jericho a coward and demanding that he come out and apologize. Jericho comes out onto the stage and says “no thanks” before heading to the back. Ziggler goes crazy, having just been trolled by Chris Jericho on his first night back on the blue brand. - Backstage we see World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus as he enters the office of the general manager. He only finds Eve. Sheamus says he wants to talk to Laurinaitis but Eve says he’s in an important meeting and that as the assistant general manager she is in charge. Sheamus says fine, he wants a match tonight. Eve says fine, that she’ll sort it out and that he should get ready. The World Heavyweight Champion will be in action here tonight! 2.) Beth Phoenix & Natalya Defeated Layla & AJ. After losing her Diva’s Championship to Layla on Sunday Beth was looking to get back into the swing of things and did so in style. Layla and AJ put up a solid fight but in the end were no match for the Diva’s of Domination, Beth putting AJ down with a Glam Slam. - Back in the general manager’s office David Otunga is arguing with Eve. He can’t believe that John Laurinaitis promoted her instead of him. She says that he should be happy for her. He isn’t. Eve tells him that they can’t have a United States Champion who runs out on matches, telling him that next week he will defend the title against Zack Ryder! Otunga is furious, but storms out before saying something he’ll regret. 3.) Sheamus Defeated Randy Orton. Sheamus wasn’t fazed when Randy Orton was revealed as his opponent, though both men were taken aback when Alberto Del Rio came down for commentary. This was a classic encounter, both men pulling out their signature moves but neither able to finish the other. Orton took control towards the end before Del Rio distracted him on the ring apron. Orton RKO’d him onto the top rope but turned straight into the Brogue Kick, Sheamus getting the pinfall and the win, much to the delight of Alberto Del Rio. - We head backstage where Layla is comforting AJ over their loss earlier tonight. When she mentions how she should feel better since Daniel Bryan is off SmackDown AJ just explodes, screams at Layla that she doesn’t need her sympathy and that she doesn’t need Daniel. She walks off, leaving Layla confused as AJ seems to be descending into madness. - Some very familiar music hits as fan favourite Mick Foley hits the ring to the delight of the crowd. Foley says he’s out here for one reason and calls out Dean Ambrose to face him like a man. Ambrose does head to the ring, but says that Foley isn’t a man, he’s a freak, a monster who destroyed his generation. Foley says he’s sick of hearing Ambrose go on like that, that his problems are his own fault, but that if anybody is going to shut him up it’ll be him. Foley proceeds to challenge Dean Ambrose to a match at Over the Limit! Ambrose agrees, but says that when they face off, it’ll be anything goes, before clocking Foley with a microphone. Ambrose assaulted Foley until the backstage crew rushed to the ring, separating the pair. 4.) Antonio Cesaro w/ Aksana Defeated Tyson Kidd. By Eve’s order Teddy Long was forced to watch from ringside as Aksana’s new boyfriend debuted in a very exciting match, going back and forth with Tyson Kidd for a solid ten minutes. Kidd gave it his best shot and nearly won the match on a few occasions, but eventually fell victim to the Very European Uppercut. Following the match Cesaro and Aksana kissed while Long looked dejected. - We head backstage where Matt Striker is standing by with Mark Henry and his agent Abraham Washington, looking to get some words on his odds in the battle royal tonight. Henry almost attacks Striker there and then but AW holds him back. Washington says that the mere idea that Henry isn’t winning tonight is ridiculous. Not only is he the biggest, the baddest and the meanest, but he’s also the World’s Strongest Man, and after tonight, he’ll be the number one contender. - We get a recap video of what went down with Dean Ambrose and Mick Foley earlier tonight, culminating in the announcement that at Over the Limit they will go one on one in an Anything goes match! 5.) Damien Sandow Defeated Percy Watson. Sandow’s mission to educate the masses continued here tonight as he looked to demonstrate his superior wrestling ability over Percy Watson. The former NXT rookie put up a decent fight, but he was simply outsmarted by Sandow who hung him up between the ropes and soon after put him down with the Straight Jacket Nelckbreaker. - Following the match Sandow began celebrating but that was quickly cut short when Ryback hit the ring looking to attack Sandow after he ran out on their match last week. Sandow quickly ducks out of the ring and when Ryback starts chanting “feed me more” he is blindsided from behind by none other than Mason Ryan! Ryback and Mason Ryan brawl around the ring with Ryback eventually sending Ryan over the top rope. Ryback stood tall as Mason Ryan and Damien Sandow backed up the ramp, this one being far from over. - We get the RAW recap showing John Cena announcing his injury and his time on the shelf only for Brock Lesnar to attack him once again. This week on RAW Triple H will meet Brock Lesnar one on one! 6. NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS BATTLE ROYAL) Mark Henry won the Battle Royal, will challenge Sheamus at Over the Limit. The order of elimination was Camacho, JTG, Johnny Curtis, Trent Barreta, The Great Khali, Curt Hawkins, Tyler Reks, Percy Watson, Mason Ryan, Damien Sandow, Tyson Kidd, Alberto Del Rio, Randy Orton, Heath Slater, Zack Ryder, R-Truth, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler and finally Chris Jericho. - Following the match Mark Henry stares down the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, who was watching from commentary. At Over the Limit Sheamus and Mark Henry meet once again, this time for the World Heavyweight Championship!

Nice to see Eve be named the assistant GM of SmackDown. The twenty man battle royal sounds fine, interested in seeing who Sheamus' next challenger is for Over The Limit. Loved Jericho's "No thanks" line. Looking forward to seeing him and Dolph feud. Solid tag team victory for Beth and Natalya. With Bryan being drafted to RAW, I'd love to see you give AJ a push into the championship picture. Not instantly, but a slow build. Crazy that this isn't the main event. Maybe should've been. Great victory for Sheamus, though the assistance from Alberto Del Rio makes it look heelish, which you shouldn't have with your top face of the brand. Foley and Ambrose at Over The Limit? Very interesting. Good victory for Cesaro. Can't picture this match going ten minutes, though. Decent victory for Sandow, Ryback's involvement at the end was fine. Mason Ryan is a bit random, and I'm not looking forward to that feud. Finally great battle royal main event with Mark Henry getting the victory. Glad to see you keeping him in the main event picture, and he and Sheamus can put on some very solid matches. That's definitely something to look forward to at Over The Limit. A Solid show.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAWMay 7th 2012; Greensboro, North Carolina- Kelly Kelly Defeated Tamina Snuka. - Jinder Mahal Defeated Yoshi Tatsu.CUE OPENING VIDEO- As RAW kicks off we head down to the announce table where they hype up tonight’s huge confrontation between Triple H and Brock Lesnar before being cut off by General Manager John Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis talks about how successful last week’s draft was and it was all because of him. He’s cut off by the Intercontinental Champion Big Show, who tells Laurinaitis to just shut up. Show tells him that this show is successful because of the fans, not because of his big mouth. Laurinaitis tells Show to watch what he says because this is his show but is cut off again, this time by The Miz. Miz says that Laurinaitis has tried shutting him up but he can’t because he’s awesome! Laurinaitis is furious at the disrespect, and proceeds to announce that if they want to be in the ring so much they can be – against each other in an Intercontinental Championship match… next! - A graphic announces that tonight’s big main event will be CM Punk going one on one with Lord Tensai! 1. WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) The Miz Defeated Big Show to WIN the WWE Intercontinental Championship. A terrific back and forth contest that really goes to show that Miz is capable of putting an a highly entertaining match with big guys like Show. Big Show looked like he had it won but when he went for the WMD Miz ducked under and hit a second Skull Crushing Finale to win and become the new Intercontinental Champion. - Backstage we see John Laurinaitis watching his handiwork unfold when Triple H enters the office. Laurinaitis begins grovelling, saying that his show has got off to a big start. Triple H says this isn’t Laurinaitis’ show, he only has a job as long as Triple H lets him. Triple H says that he wants Laurinaitis out there when he confronts Brock Lesnar tonight, because this is his mess. - We go backstage where Scott Stanford is standing by with former Diva’s Champion Beth Phoenix. Phoenix says that she is cashing in her rematch clause at Over the Limit, but she wants Layla to come and face her in the ring this Friday on SmackDown and accept ‘like a real champion would’. Phoenix says that Layla better enjoy having her title, because it’s coming back where it belongs. 2.) The Prime Time Players Defeated Brodus Clay & Santino Marella. The recent problems between the Prime Time Players and Brodus Clay came to a head tonight as the Funkasaurus teamed with Santino in a losing effort. Clay & Marella proved entertaining and effective, but it wasn’t enough as they took Clay out of the game and connected with the Ghetto Blaster on Marella for the win. - We head backstage where John Laurinaitis is talking to Jack Swagger and Vickie Guerrero. Swagger wants an opportunity to prove himself now that Dolph Ziggler has gone, he needs to show he is the true strong link. Laurinaitis says that he likes Swagger’s style, and grants him a match later tonight. Vickie sucks up to the general manager, promising that he won’t be disappointed. - A graphic reminds us of tonight’s big main event where WWE Champion CM Punk faces off with Lord Tensai one on one! 3.) Kofi Kingston Defeated Cody Rhodes. Now running solo once again Kofi Kingston faced off with one of RAW’s brightest acquisitions in the WWE draft, Cody Rhodes. This was definitely the match of the night as the two men gave it everything to cement themselves as RAW mainstays. Rhodes went for the Cross-Rhodes but Kingston athletically flipped over the back of Rhodes and connected with Trouble in Paradise to take the victory. - Following the match Kingston begins celebrating when the music of Kane hit the ring, the big red machine hitting the ring and dropping Kingston with a Chokeslam much to the confusion of the WWE universe. - We’re backstage again where The Big Show is with the man who took the Intercontinental Championship from him earlier tonight. Miz wants to make sure there’s no hard feelings, he’s just the better man. Show says not to get ahead of himself, he still has a rematch clause. John Laurinaitis appears, saying that he’s glad he said that because next week on Monday Night RAW it will be The Miz against Big Show in a rematch for the Intercontinental Champion! Laurinaitis tells them to watch what they say in future, clearly throwing his power about tonight on RAW. - New RAW star Daniel Bryan hits the ring next. Bryan says that at Extreme Rules he never tapped out, therefore he never lost in that World Heavyweight Championship match. He continues, pointing at that last week he made CM Punk tap out, leaving out the fact that it was a sneak attack. Bryan asks if he is the rightful World Champion – “YES! YES! YES!”. This brings out CM Punk, who tells Daniel Bryan that he’s dreaming. Punk tells Bryan that if he wants to be WWE Champion, he has to go through him first. Bryan says it’ll be his pleasure, then comes out of nowhere with the Yes! Lock attempt. Punk counters it and lifts Bryan up for the GTS, but Bryan slips out and retreats up the ramp. 4.) Jack Swagger w/ Vickie Guerrero Defeated Alex Riley. Another man left flying solo after the WWE draft is Jack Swagger, but just like Kofi Kingston earlier in the night Swagger proved himself more than capable, steamrolling through Alex Riley and putting him away with the Gutwrench Powerbomb. - We’re backstage where WWE Champion CM Punk is taping his hands up ready for tonight’s main event when he is approached by Triple H. They do a little back and forth on their history from last year, before Punk tells Triple H to kick Laurinaitis to the curb before he kicks him in the head. Triple H says he’ll definitely think about it, the two parting on tense terms as we cut away. - Backstage we find ourselves in the middle of an argument between WWE Tag Team Champions Epico & Primo and The Uso’s. The Uso’s claim they deserve a title shot but Epico & Primo say there’s no way they’re coming near their titles. Things nearly descend into a brawl before Abraham Washington turns up, flanked by the Prime Time Players, and tells his clients Epico & Primo that they need to talk. The Uso’s shout after them, telling them to face them like men as All World Promotions heads off. 5.) CM Punk vs. Lord Tensai went to a no contest. The WWE Champion was looking to take out some of his anger in tonight’s main event but Lord Tensai certainly wasn’t the man to do that against. Punk and Tensai went back and forth in what could very well be called Tensai’s best match since his return. Tensai’s power proved a difficult test for Punk to overcome but as things went on he kept coming back and eventually had Tensai up on his shoulders for the GTS only for Daniel Bryan to come in and attack Punk from behind, the official having no choice but to throw the match out. - Daniel Bryan puts the boots into CM Punk only for the WWE Champion to fight back. Punk took control before being levelled by a bicycle kick from Lord Tensai. Daniel Bryan proceeded to lock in the Yes! Lock as John Laurinaitis came out onto the stage and introduced CM Punk to his opponent as Over the Limit – Daniel Bryan! Bryan and Tensai left Punk lying as we cut away. - We’re shown Triple H backstage heading towards the ring. Triple H confronts Brock Lesnar… next! - The acting COO of the WWE Triple H hits the ring and thanks the WWE Universe for letting him come out. He says that he watched last week and what he saw made him sick. Brock Lesnar had no right to attack John Cena when Cena is already injured. Because of that attack John Cena could be out of action for up to six months. He doesn’t want to waste time and calls out Lesnar. Brock comes out with John Laurinaitis, the general manager telling Triple H not to do something he’ll regret. Triple H tells him this is his company and he won’t have Lesnar or Laurinaitis come in and tell him what to do. Lesnar says fine, he doesn’t need the WWE, the WWE needs him. Triple H says they don’t. Lesnar says fine, he quits. The crowd go wild. Laurinaitis tries to convince him otherwise but Lesnar pushes past him and goes to leave. Triple H says fine, they don’t need a has been anyway. Suddenly Lesnar charges at Triple H, taking him down and splits him open with a hard elbow. Within seconds Lesnar pulls Triple H into the Kimura and, just like John Cena, snaps the arm. RAW goes off the air with Brock Lesnar watching at the medical team check on Triple H, whose arm appears broken.

WWE RAW Supershow: Monday 30th April 2012...Kelly Kelly beating Rosa Mendes was what it was, and a decent match between Kofi Kingston and Curt Hawkins with Kofi getting the win. Alright, different approach by having the WWE Draft return to refreshen the rosters. CM Punk kicking off the show was the right call, good promo followed by the introduction of Daniel Bryan. I guess this sets up our next feud with the WWE Championship. Sheamus getting involved was also nice, and I'm liking the idea of that tag team match. Lord Tensai trying to get over big...it'd be interesting if Tensai got a feud with Sheamus in. Great opening contest win for Alberto Del Rio against Randy Orton with the cheap finish; Orton getting retribution was nicely done. Big Show drafted to RAW, eh. Bryan being angry was nicely done, and I like the start of Bryan's arguments over "YES" and "NO". Damien Sandow beating Zack Ryder was obvious. Dolph Ziggler to SmackDown, should be the right platform to start Ziggler off on his rise to becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. Ziggler taking on Jack Swagger!? Very interesting. First hour main event with RAW taking on SmackDown in the battle royal was classic "WWE Draft booking". RAW winning was fine. Cody Rhodes to RAW is an interesting move; Tamina? Hahah, RAW got screwed over there. The Miz turning face perhaps? I'd like to see it, very refreshening. Mark Henry with the win was alright, nothing new. R-Truth to SmackDown is a great call. It lets both Kofi and Truth get a rest from one another, which is good as I never saw much chemistry, really. Layla and Kaitlyn beating the Bella Twins was likely. As was David Otunga moving to SmackDown, evening out the midcard championships. Dean Ambrose's promo was pretty neat. Daniel Bryan's character didn't come off right in the next segment with AJ in my mind; trying to intimidate AJ. I really think Bryan's more of a runt character than...well, a c*nt of a character. Primo and Epico beating the Usos was filler, and in my mind not so worthy of being on RAW but nevermind. Christian over to RAW is a good decision. Dolph Ziggler beating Jack Swagger whilst remaining indifferent to Vickie Guerrero was a nice touch. Time for a solo career. Chris Jericho to SmackDown finally breaks up the feud between Punk and Jericho after it ended last night. Speaking of which, strange that we are yet to see him tonight. John Cena's promo brought us into the third hour, good promo with Cena selling the Kimura Lock well. No Triple H advancement yet...good. It'd be fresh to see someone continue the Cena and Brock Lesnar rivalry. Ambrose was obviously going to win against Alex Riley, finally confirming Alberto Del Rio as a part of SmackDown. There sure is a lot of Bryan on this show, which I'm not so much a fan of. I like the idea of you trying to make SmackDown look more important, having Mick Foley appear to confront Ambrose. Brodus Clay beating Jinder Mahal was what it was, and it's interesting to see Ted Dibiase make the move to RAW, although I'd have saved this pick in particular for the Supplemental Draft tomorrow. Oh, there's a mention of Triple H from Brock. Good bully character for Lesnar. And lastly, very interesting main event win for CM Punk and Lord Tensai. Tensai attacking Punk...Miz saves Punk!? I'm liking this original approach. Punk shouldn't have pinned Sheamus in my mind. It damaged the World Heavyweight Champion and one of the face champions' overness, perhaps. Daniel Bryan getting drafted to RAW was expected, and I liked the advancement on the WWE Championship scene. Overall, a very good RAW with several filler matches that weren't too necessary, but eh, you're working with three hours. Very refreshing to see what decisions you have made to the product over the last month or so.
WWE Supplemental Draft: Tuesday 1st May 2012...Derrick Bateman to RAW is an interesting call, hopefully he gets more of a relevant role in a comedic angle. He could mesh well with Santino Marella. Drew McIntyre is another good choice, but I'm not a fan of Ezekiel Jackson coming to RAW at all, unless you have something for him. Same with Hunico and Yoshi Tatsu, if I'm honest. Aw, AJ's friend Kaitlyn got moved to RAW, ah well. I figure you're going to be keeping Evan Bourne around, seeing as he was drafted to SmackDown. Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks to SmackDown is a good call, hopefully they can get more featured here. Mason Ryan and JTG were strange decisions, but nevermind. Zack Ryder to SmackDown is good news, but could have easily been announced on RAW as a draft pick. Strange turn of events, RAW got lumbered with more fat than SmackDown.

WWE News: Brock Lesnar Quit Angle, John Cena’s injury, New Diva Signed, More…- As seen on Monday Night RAW Brock Lesnar ‘quit’ World Wrestling Entertainment. As everyone is aware Brock Lesnar is working on a specific date contract and this is a way of writing him off of television for the time being to save up the dates for future feuds. Current plans call for Brock Lesnar to face off with John Cena at the Summerslam pay per view in an Extreme Rules rematch but following the attack on Triple H it appears that that plan may have changed. - John Cena’s injury is not legitimate, but rather is a way of giving Cena some time off to heal some nagging injuries and sort out issues in his personal life. John Cena has recently been said to be ‘exhausted’ with the constant travelling and with his wife recently filing for divorce WWE officials believe that he should take a few months off to refuel so that he can come back later in the year. Expect Cena to return in time for the Summerslam pay per view. - As a result of both of their tag teams being broken up during the 2012 draft it would appear that both Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger will be involved in high profile feuds heading forwards. Kingston began a feud with Kane while Jack Swagger’s segment with John Laurinaitis is expected to bring him into the current Miz / Big Show feud. WWE officials are reportedly high on both men’s ring work and want to use the draft as a platform to see whether they can establish themselves in a main event feud. - Following the signing of Lizzy Valentine last week we can confirm that WWE continue to bolster their Diva’s division with the signing of SHIMMER favourite Portia Perez. Perez was reportedly offered a contract several weeks ago but requested time to decide whether to make the transition or not. A source at SHIMMER tells us that the only reason Perez signed was because WWE guaranteed here that they are looking to make the Diva’s division more legitimate and that the likes of Perez and Lizzy Valentine are the start of that process.

WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN May 11th 2012; Roanoke, Virginia
[/size] - Percy Watson Defeated Heath Slater - The Great Khali Defeated Tyler Reks w/ Curt HawkinsCUE OPENING VIDEO- Following the usual pyrotechnics and commentary introduction we’re treated to the appearance of Chris Jericho to kick off SmackDown. Jericho talks about how last week he came up short in the battle royal, being the last man eliminated. He wants another shot at becoming number one contender. Dolph Ziggler disagrees, coming out and telling Jericho to step aside and let the future take over. Both men are cut off by Alberto Del Rio, who says that he is the only one who deserves another shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. Finally Randy Orton comes out, saying that if anyone gets another shot it’ll be him, because he’ll RKO all three of these guys to get it. Finally Eve, the assistant SmackDown general manager, comes out. John Laurinaitis isn’t here tonight so she’ll be taking care of things, and the first order of business is to announce that at Over the Limit, all four men will face off in a fatal four way match to decide the next challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship! If that isn’t enough we’ll get a preview in tonight’s main event with a tag team match! - Returning from commercial we get a reminder of the just announced main event, pitting Chris Jericho and Randy Orton against Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler in an Over the Limit preview! 1. WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) David Otunga Defeated Zack Ryder to RETAIN the WWE United States Championship. A surprisingly good opener as Otunga defended his title in a match that Eve ordered last week. Ryder put up a lot of fight and had the crowd behind him throughout, but Otunga managed to counter a Rough Ryder with a low blow and connected with the Verdict to retain. - We head backstage where Matt Striker is standing by with Mark Henry and Abraham Washington, wanting to get a few words on Henry being the new number one contender. Washington says that Henry’s victory in the battle royal was never in doubt. He’s the World’s Strongest Man and soon to be the World Heavyweight Champion. Washington says that tonight Henry will call out Sheamus to face him like a man before he kicks his ass at Over the Limit. Henry says that soon enough Sheamus is going to enter his hall of pain. - David Otunga storms into the office of assistant general manager Eve. He wants to know why she called him here after he just defended his United States Championship. Eve says that she wants to introduce him to his challenger for next week – R-Truth. Truth enters behind Otunga, joking to Lil Jimmy that when he wins the title they’ll have to get him a mini one. Otunga is furious at having to defend the title two weeks in a row but once again holds his words and walks out. 2.) Layla Defeated Natalya. With Beth Phoenix cashing in her rematch clause at Over the Limit Diva’s Champion Layla was attempting to build some momentum here, and did so in style as she put Natalya away with the Bombshell. Following the match Beth Phoenix came out, and demanded that Layla accepted her rematch face to face. Layla did, saying she’ll beat Beth again. Beth warned her that she was going to crush Layla like a bug and walked off. The rematch is on! - We head backstage where Matt Striker is standing by with Dean Ambrose who will be in action in just a few moments. Ambrose explains that tonight he is going to show us exactly what Mick Foley has created, exactly what kind of generation Mick Foley has brought into this business. Ambrose finishes it off by saying that when he’s done with Tyson Kidd, he will “Fear Me!” - We get a hype video for the Over the Limit pay per view, airing exclusively on pay per view in nine days time. It focuses heavily on the World Heavyweight Championship match between Sheamus and Mark Henry. 3.) Dean Ambrose Defeated Tyson Kidd. Dean Ambrose’s run continued tonight as he once again controlled the match. Tyson Kidd put up a solid fight but Ambrose never really looked like losing. He countered a sharpshooter attempt with impressive ease and soon connected with the Running Knee Lift followed by the Midnight Special. Following the match Ambrose continued his assault before Mick Foley surprisingly appeared, running him off with a chair. - We return to SmackDown and the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship Mark Henry and his agent Abraham Washington. They waste no time in calling out Sheamus, telling the World Heavyweight Champion to face him in this ring. Sheamus does so, he says he isn’t scared of Mark Henry. Henry wants him to say that right to his face. Sheamus does, he isn’t scared. Suddenly AW blasts him in the back of the head with a microphone. Henry grabs him, lifts him and drops him with the World’s Strongest Slam. He’s not done there, lifting him up and hitting a second World’s Strongest Slam. Mark Henry holds the World Heavyweight Championship up high over a fallen Sheamus. - We’re in the locker room of Randy Orton as the Viper gets prepared for his match later tonight. Chris Jericho enters the room, telling Orton that he just wants to make sure they’re on the same page. Jericho says he doesn’t like Orton, but he wants to win tonight. Orton tells him that if that is all he wants, then they’re on the same page, but at Over the Limit they won’t be. Jericho says that is fine, the two men nodding at each other before Jericho walks out. 4.) Antonio Cesaro & Aksana Defeated R-Truth & AJ. Mixed tag team action here as AJ seemed to continue losing her mind, eventually just skipping around the ring and to the back leaving Truth solo. Cesaro continues to impress but it looked like he was going to come up short against Truth before United States Champion David Otunga came out, distracting Truth long enough for Cesaro to hit the Neautralizer and get the pinfall. - We get the RAW rebound, highlighting Brock Lesnar and Triple H’s confrontation that led to Lesnar quitting World Wrestling Entertainment before attacking Triple H, injuring him with the Kimura. - We head backstage where Alberto Del Rio is about to talk with Matt Striker about his match tonight. Del Rio says that Eve had no right to make him go through a fatal four way match to get his rightful World Heavyweight Championship match but that if he must, he will win with ease. Dolph Ziggler turns up, taking exception to that. Ziggler tells Del Rio that he’s dreaming if he thinks he has a chance and that after Over the Limit, everybody will be looking at the next World Heavyweight Champion. 5.) Ryback vs. Mason Ryan went to a no contest. A clash of the big men here as Ryback met his toughest challenge yet in the form of Mason Ryan, who attacked him last week. The match was short, with Ryan putting up a good fight. Just when Ryback started taking control Damien Sandow appeared and attacked him from behind. Ryan and Sandow double teamed Ryback but the undefeated superstar caught Ryan with a huge Lariat, sending Sandow retreating up the ramp. - We get a split screen view of our two teams heading to the ring for tonight’s main event. Chris Jericho and Randy Orton face off with Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio… next! 6.) Chris Jericho & Randy Orton Defeated Dolph Ziggler & Alberto Del Rio. A big main event here that got a lot of love from the live crowd. Chris Jericho in particular had the fans behind him after he took out Dolph Ziggler last week on RAW’s draft show. All four men got their chance to show their stuff off ahead of Over the Limit in nine days, with Dolph Ziggler being the standout. The ending saw Del Rio hit with the RKO before Ziggler came off of the top rope at him. Jericho slid into the ring and out of nowhere hit a flying Ziggler with the Codebreaker for the win. The show ended with Orton and Jericho staring each other down.[/font][/center][/blockquote]

A decent opening promo, got the point across of the four superstars wanting a World Heavyweight Championship shot. I love the Fatal Four Way set for Over The Limit. Loaded with great talents. A great and successful United States Championship defense for David Otunga. Hoping he has a nice reign, though I wouldn't mind seeing Ryder reclaim the title at some point. Good win for Layla, and not a bad set up for the Divas Championship match at Over The Limit. Decent win for Dean Ambrose. Hopefully he can compete in more legitimate matches once the feud with Foley wraps up. LOVE the Henry/AW pairing. I feel they could be great together, and it was evident with this promo. I can't see Henry capturing the title at Over The Limit, but damn I would love for him to do so. AJ skipping away <3. Nice win for Antonio Cesaro and Aksana, and I rather enjoy the idea of a Cesaro/Truth program. Eh, still not a fan of the Ryback/Ryan feud. Not your fault, just don't think it'd be all that great. I do like Sandow's involvement, but I'm unsure on having two superstars new to the main roster feuding right away. Someone is bound to lose momentum. Finally a great tag team main event to preview the Fatal Four Way for Over The Limit. Orton and Jericho going over was the right call in my mind, and finishing off the show with a stare down is a nice to way to close things. Good SmackDown.
