WWE News: Full Sail University Talks, Roster Cuts, David Otunga, More…- World Wrestling Entertainment is reportedly in talks with Full Sail University. According to sources on both sides the deal will see WWE move their weekly Florida Championship Wrestling television tapings there starting as early as later this month as part of Triple H’s ongoing renovations of the WWE’s development systems. While it may be unrelated, WWE have also gone into talks with Syfy, possibly regarding televising the new development show. - Word going around backstage is that the WWE will be making roster cuts in the coming weeks in an effort to continue revitalising the rosters. The feeling is that there has not been enough effort put into building up new stars and part of that has been because the rosters feel stale, especially with the number of main-roster ready stars down in development. Expect further updates throughout the week and keep an eye on WWE.COM as any cuts will likely be announced there first. - David Otunga has received a lot of praise for both his ring work and his microphone skills in the past few months. The general opinion is that not only does Otunga put a lot of work in where it counts but that he also brings considerable media attention to the company due to his relationship with Jennifer Hudson. Some are saying that his current United States Championship run may be the WWE’s way of determining if he is ready to be a main event player on SmackDown. - Current plans for AJ’s recent storyline call for her to make a heel turn later in the year and likely challenge for the Diva’s Championship. She is considered to be unique amongst the diva’s division and also is known for being one of the better wrestlers amongst the diva’s, so don’t be surprised if she receives a push sooner rather than later.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW May 14th 2012
- Yoshi Tatsu Defeated Hunico - Jinder Mahal Defeated Ezekial Jackon
CUE OPENING VIDEO - RAW kicks off with the announce team promoting tonight’s show, highlighting the tag team main event of CM Punk and Kofi Kingston facing off with the unusual team of Daniel Bryan and Kane, as well as a special interview with Triple H after what happened last week with Brock Lesnar. - They’re cut off by Daniel Bryan, who shouts “Yes!” all the way down to the ring. Daniel Bryan is out here to do his usual “Yes!” routine about this Sunday where he will challenge WWE Champion CM Punk for the title. When he asks if he is going to walk away as the WWE Champion he goes to shout “Yes!” but is cut off by CM Punk. Punk hits the ring and tells Daniel Bryan he’s getting pretty tired of listening to him. Years ago they were both stars on the independent scene, they were big fishes in a little pond, now he’s the WWE Champion and Daniel Bryan is just the man who lost in eighteen seconds. They go back and forth, with CM Punk ending the segment by roaring that Daniel Bryan can say yes all he wants, but at Over the Limit he will be answering yes to only one question – is CM Punk the best in the world. 1.) Jack Swagger w/ Vickie Guerrero Defeated Santino Marella. Swagger’s successful singles run continued here tonight as he took on Santino Marella in a solid competitive match that featured good action and the typical Santino comedy segments. In the end Swagger blocked the Cobra and hit the Gutwrench Powerbomb to take the victory. - Following the match Jack Swagger leaves the ring, celebrating his victory, while Drew McIntyre slides into the ring and hits the Future Shock on Santino Marella. McIntyre stood tall as RAW cuts away. - We head backstage where Scott Stanford is looking for a few words from the new Intercontinental Champion The Miz on Big Show’s rematch here tonight. Miz says that a few years ago he and Big Show were a dominant tag team, and that now they’re both dominant stars on RAW. Tonight they face off against each other, but the truth is they both have one similar problem – John Laurinaitis. The Miz says that tonight he will successfully defend the Intercontinental Champion and after that he’ll take the fight to Laurinaitis because he’s The Miz… and he’s awesome! - We return from a commercial to Jack Swagger and Vickie Guerrero in the office of general manager John Laurinaitis. Swagger says that he can beat on losers all night but he wants a real chance to prove himself. Laurinaitis says that he’ll get his chance, before Lord Tensai walks into the room. Laurinaitis looks at him, and says they’ll both get their chance tonight. 2.) Beth Phoenix Defeated Kelly Kelly. With Diva’s Champion Layla on commentary Beth Phoenix dominated, sending a strong message to her opponent this Sunday as she put Kelly away with the Glam slam. - We head backstage and right into the middle of an argument between Epico and Primo and the Prime Time Players with Abraham Washington in the middle. The Tag Champions are shouting that AW can’t be serious about wanting to represent both them and the Prime Time Players, but AW says that it’s just good business to have both teams on the books. PTP interrupt, telling them that unlike Epico & Primo they can make AW millions of dollars. A brawl nearly erupts but the Tag Team Champions end up walking off, they’ll be in action later tonight. - We’re with Brodus Clay and his dancers as they’re having fun backstage, joking around. They’re interrupted by Cody Rhodes, who tells Brodus that he’s a joke, he’s everything that is wrong with wrestling today. Brodus tells Cody that those are pretty big words from a little man, and tells Cody to back them up and face him later tonight. Rhodes hesitates, but agrees, telling Brodus that tonight he sees what a real wrestler is all about. 3. WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) The Miz Defeated Big Show to RETAIN the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Just like last week these two provided a very solid first hour main event as their chemistry as a team crossed over into singles action. Miz managed to fight against Show’s power advantage through his signature underhanded tactics and quick thinking. Show did connect with the WMD but it sent Miz under the ropes and stopped Show from getting the pin. Miz soon managed to run Show into the corner and roll him up to retain the Intercontinental Championship. - As soon as the match finishes Lord Tensai and Jack Swagger slide into the ring and launch a vicious attack on The Miz and Big Show. They finish the attack with a Gutwrench Powerbomb to The Miz and the Devastator (fall forward chokebomb) to Big Show. John Laurinaitis came out onot the ramp and announced that at Over the Limit we will see a tag team match – The Miz and Big Show against Swagger & Tensai! Laurinaitis promises to make Miz and Show’s life hell as we cut away. - We get an exclusive interview with Triple H next via satellite. He’s got his arm in a cast after that vicious Kimura by Brock Lesnar last week. Triple H says that the attack left his arm broken in two places. He says that Brock Lesnar may have quit last week, but that he’s going to make sure he comes back because when his arm heals up he’s going to come after Lesnar with everything he has. Triple H says that Brock Lesnar might be a monster, that he might be a War Machine, but he’s the Game, and when he’s cleared to wrestle he is going to show Lesnar the meaning of a fight. 4.) The Uso’s Defeated Epico & Primo w/ Rosa Mendes. It was announced prior to the match that if The Uso’s were victorious they would receive a WWE Tag Team Championship match this Sunday at Over the Limit. In what was a very impressive tag team match both teams came close to winning, but an appearance by the Prime Time Players left the Tag Team Champions distracted, Epico falling victim to the Alley-Us giving The Uso’s the win and the title shot. - A hype video plays, starting off by showing WWE legends Ted DiBiase and Mr. Perfect in action. It soon cuts into their sons before announcing that “The Million Dollar Prodigy” Ted DiBiase and “The Perfect One” Joe Hennig are coming – The Perfect Sons return to Monday Night RAW soon! - We head to Scott Stanford who is looking to get a few words with Kofi Kingston about being attacked by Kane last week on RAW. Kingston says that he’ll never be able to understand what is going through Kane’s mind but that he doesn’t care, if Kane has a problem with him then he’ll settle it the only way he knows how – in the ring. Kingston finishes by saying he isn’t afraid of Kane, and tonight he’ll be delivering some Trouble in Paradise. 5.) Brodus Clay Defeated Cody Rhodes by disqualification. Following their altercation earlier tonight Rhodes went into this with something to prove but extremely outmatched. Still he gave it his all and put up a great fight against the Funkasaurus but soon enough it became apparent that Clay was in control. Rhodes quickly flipped, grabbing a chair at ringside and attacking Clay with it, leaving the big man down and out and the referee with no choice but to call the disqualification. Rhodes hauled Clay onto his feet, dropped him with the Cross-Rhodes, standing tall as we cut away. - Prior to the main event we get a quick glimpse of Kane in his locker room, about to head out. Daniel Bryan enters, telling Kane that tonight it is all about hurting CM Punk. Kane disagrees, telling Bryan that when he goes out there he is going to hurt everybody who stands in his way. Before leaving, he tells Bryan that his beard is hideous, and that he’d look better with a mask before heading out. Daniel Bryan looks incredulous, saying that Kane was “crazy” before following his tag team partner out of the locker room. The main event is next! 6.) Daniel Bryan & Kane Defeated CM Punk & Kofi Kingston. A big main event here tonight as two of the top feuds on RAW interceded together in tag team action. All four men got their chance to show their stuff with the highlights being CM Punk and Daniel Bryan putting on a technical clinic, Bryan and Kane nearly coming to blows after Kane accidentally caught Bryan with an uppercut and Kane and Kofi Kingston brawling into the crowd and to the back. With just Punk and Daniel Bryan left, and as the legal men, Punk went for the GTS but Bryan slid out the back and rolled CM Punk up, getting the three count! Bryan quickly slid out of the ring, taunting Punk and shouting “Yes!” repeatedly. - With the match over we quickly cut backstage where Kane and Kofi Kingston are still brawling through the backstage area. The fight is vicious and goes back and forth, both men looking to genuinely hurt the other. In the end Kingston went up high, leaping from a staircase right into Kane, only for the Big Red Machine to grab him around the throat and Chokeslam him on the concrete. RAW went off the air with Kane laughing maniacally as a medical team rushed to check on Kingston.

Ezekial Jackson ReleasedWorld Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of RAW superstar Ezekial Jackson as of today, May 18th 2012. WWE wishes Ezekial Jackson the best in all his future endeavours. WWE News: Daniel Bryan & the WWE Championship, Triple H Update, Drew McIntyre, More...- There has been a lot of talk about putting the WWE Championship on Daniel Bryan at Over the Limit. Word is that the higher ups have been very high on Bryan’s work and his ability to get himself over with the fans despite being a heel. There is also a feeling that CM Punk’s title run is at a continuing risk at becoming stale the longer it continues. - Following his segment on this week’s RAW it is highly likely that we will be seeing a future match between Brock Lesnar and Triple H. However it’s unlikely that the match will take place this side of Summerslam as WWE have pencilled in Lesnar’s feuds up until the Summerslam pay per view and Triple H is currently not in the picture. - Drew McIntyre’s appearance on RAW is likely a precursor to a larger push in the coming weeks. McIntyre is seen as a very consistent worker backstage and the feeling is that he would likely be a massive star by now if Vince McMahon hadn’t taken him on as a project. It is commonly known that if Vince gets behind someone and then drifts off onto the next big thing, the original superstar often falls onto the backburner. - As announced by WWE’s official website this morning Ezekial Jackson has been released from his contract. Jackson is a former WWE Intercontinental Champion and was the final ECW Heavyweight Champion before it’s retirement. Jackson appeared on yesterday’s Superstars in a losing effort to Jinder Mahal and has been little more than a jobber in recent months. We repowered last week that WWE would be making releases soon, and Jackson is unlikely to be the final release we see.

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWNMay 18th 2012- AJ Defeated Alicia Fox - R-Truth Defeated Heath SlaterCUE OPENING VIDEO - Following the opening video package we head down to the announce table where Michael Cole, Booker T and Josh Matthews run down tonight’s show. With just two days to go until the Over the Limit pay per view everybody will be looking to build up momentum, including Randy Orton and Alberto Del Rio who will be facing off one on one! - The announce team are cut off by Mark Henry and Abraham Washington who hit the ring. AW hypes up Henry, showing a clip of last week where he left Sheamus lying with a vicious assault. Washington says that Sheamus might think he’s tough, but that he knows he can’t beat Mark Henry. Henry states that this Sunday, he takes his rightful spot as the World Heavyweight Champion. All this talk brings Sheamus out onto the stage, Sheamus defiantly telling Henry that this Sunday he’s going to Brogue Kick his head off his shoulders. Henry tells Sheamus to get in this ring and say that and Sheamus seems tempted, but then thinks better off it, the two men staring each other down as Michael Cole questions whether Sheamus is scared of the World’s Strongest Man. 1. WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) David Otunga Defeated R-Truth to RETAIN the WWE United States Championship. This was Otunga’s second title defence in as many weeks thanks to assistant general manager Eve. Despite that Otunga came into this one fighting and, despite several close calls, pulled out the victory thanks to a low blow followed by the Verdict. - We head to the entrance of the arena where we catch Chris Jericho arriving, late for tonight’s show. He is met by general manager John Laurinaitis, who is furious that Jericho is late to “his” show. Laurinaitis says that as a result he won’t have too much time to prepare for his opponent in tonight’s main event – the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus! Jericho can’t believe him, and tells Laurinaitis that he is losing the plot before walking off. - We head back to ringside as Antonio Cesaro and Aksana make their entrance. Cesaro does his five languages shtick, this week’s word being superior. He says that tonight he will be in six man tag action, and that he will be superior to everyone else involved. 2.) Antonio Cesaro, Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks w/ Aksana Defeated Zack Ryder, Trent Barreta & Tyson Kidd. Antonio Cesaro certainly wasn’t kidding, he looked fierce in this match. Everyone got some time to shine, but it was clearly all about Cesaro and he proved it by putting Tyson Kidd away with the Neutralizer. - Backstage we see Randy Orton heading to the ring for his match when he bumps into Mark Henry and Abraham Washington. Henry wishes Orton good luck, saying that he hopes he wins this Sunday because he’d love to put the Viper in the Hall of Pain after he becomes the World Heavyweight Champion. Orton says that after Sheamus kicks Henry’s head off, he’ll slip in and give him an RKO for good measure. The two tensely part as AW calms Henry down, telling him to keep it all for Sunday. - We head to the office of John Laurinaitis where he is talking with his assistant Eve. Theodore Long is in the corner, holding out a tray of food for the general manager. David Otunga barges in, demanding that Laurinaitis does something about Eve, saying she is using her power against him. Laurinaitis says that Eve is doing a good job and Otunga is incredulous, saying that it’s true, Laurinaitis has lost his mind. The general manager isn’t happy with that, and announces that next week Otunga will defend his title against both Zack Ryder and R-Truth! Otunga walks off, but not before telling Laurinaitis that if things keep going this way, he’ll see Laurinaitis at a tribunal. 3.) Randy Orton Defeated Alberto Del Rio w/ Ricardo Rodriguez. The first hour main event was a preview to this Sunday’s fatal four way number one contender match. Both men wanted to build their momentum and put up quite the fight. Just when Orton looked set to deliver the RKO Ricardo got involved, entering the ring and going to hit Orton with his shoe, only for Orton to level him with the RKO. Seconds later Orton also dropped Del Rio with an RKO and got the pinfall! - Following the match Orton begins celebrating but doesn’t notice Dolph Ziggler slide into the ring. Ziggler sneaks up on the Viper, laying him out with the Zig Zag and sending a message to his Over the Limit opponents. - The second hour kicks off with Mick Foley coming down, setting up a chair in the ring. He sits and begins talking about how he never planned on stepping back in the squared circle again, but that Dean Ambrose has changed all that. Ambrose is a menace, a menace that Ambrose claims Foley created. Foley doesn’t know if that is true or not, but what he does know is that if he doesn’t stop Ambrose, then people will get hurt. Suddenly Ambrose appears on the screen. He tells Foley he’s right that people will get hurt, and this Sunday at Over the Limit, he will be the first. - We head backstage where Damien Sandow is talking with Mason Ryan. Sandow says that Ryan is in a enviable position, because if he can defeat Ryback tonight then he will prove that he can be educated. Damien Sandow says that unlike these miscreants in the audience, Mason Ryan has the opportunity to be saved by a true intellectual. Ryan says that he doesn’t give a damn about anything Damien Sandow just said, but that tonight, he’s going to kick Ryback’s ass. Ryan walks off, leaving Sandow shocked. He calls Ryan an imbecile before walking off. 4.) Beth Phoenix Defeated Brie Bella w/ Nikki Bella. With Diva’s Champion Layla on commentary Beth Phoenix dominated the entire match, quickly puitting Brie away with the Glam Slam and sending another strong message to Layla – this Sunday, the Diva’s Championship returns home. - We head backstage where Chris Jericho is preparing for his main event match against World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus. He is interrupted by Dolph Ziggler, who cockily asks Jericho if he saw what he did out there to Randy Orton. Jericho says he was too busy not caring. Ziggler isn’t deflated, telling Jericho that this Sunday, he’s going to get another big win, and that it’s just a matter of time before he is the World Heavyweight Champion. - We head backstage where Layla is preparing to leave when she is approached by AJ, who seems to have been a little bit off the past few weeks. She starts laughing for no reason, and when Layla asks why she is laughing AJ simply says she is thinking about how easily Beth Phoenix is going to crush her head. Layla is taken aback, and AJ simply says “bye” and skips off. Something is definitely off with AJ. 5.) Ryback Defeated Mason Ryan. In a rematch from last week these two goliaths clashed with Damien Sandow watching on from ringside. Just like last week Mason Ryan put up a strong fight only for Ryback to fight back in short order. Unlike last week Sandow didn’t interfere, and Ryback ended up putting Ryan down with a massive Lariat. As Ryback left Damien Sandow slid into the ring and dropped Ryan with Terminus, their very short partnership coming to a very quick end. - We head backstage where Matt Striker is looking to get a word with World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus before tonight’s main event. Striker wants to know if Sheamus is scared of Mark Henry ahead of this Sunday’s championship match. Sheamus says that he is scared of no man, that he was raised on the idea of fight or die, that he has never run away and that he will never back down. Tonight, he will show everybody exactly what he plans on doing to Mark Henry this Sunday. 6.) Chris Jericho Defeated Sheamus. Tonight’s main event was a big one and with just two days until Over the Limit there was a whole load of momentum on the line. Both men went in fired up and with something to prove, Sheamus’ pure strength and roughneck style being matched by Jericho’s innovate technical skills. Towards the end Jericho ducked under the Brogue Kick and went for the Walls of Jericho, only for Sheamus to power out and hit White Noise. That is when Mark Henry came out onto the stage, playing enough of a distraction for Sheamus to walk straight into the Codebreaker and give Jericho the victory. - As Chris Jericho celebrates in the ring Mark Henry simply watches, stony faced, from the ramp. With just two days to go until he challenges Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship the World’s Strongest Man has all of the momentum.

WWE News: New WWE Show, David Otunga Face Turn, Damien Sandow, More...- There will reportedly be a big announcement regarding WWE’s negotiations with Full Sail University coming next week. The latest rumour is that it has something to do with a new television show that World Wrestling entertainment want to produce there. To add further credence to this report WWE have also been in talks with the Syfy network in recent weeks about adding another hour of wrestling to their weekly schedule. - Despite how it may have come across on this week’s SmackDown there are no plans to turn David Otunga face anytime soon. His altercation with John Laurinaitis this week was to break the pairing away from each other and to push the storyline of Laurinaitis having problems with the entire roster. Current plans call for Laurinaitis to remain as the general manager of both shows until Summerslam. - Despite reports there were never any plans to have Ryback and Damien Sandow go to a clean finish during their recent short feud. The reason for pairing them together was simply because creative believed that it was a perfect way to introduce Damien Sandow on screen while at the same time putting over Ryback. This was the reason that Mason Ryan was brought into the feud. Some hoped that it would get Mason Ryan back into the spotlight but the current feeling is that he didn’t really use the opportunity. - There are reportedly big plans for Theodore Long in the pipeline following his recent angles with John Laurinaitis. His current storyline of being Laurinaitis’ ‘assistant’ is planned to lead to a potential return to a manager role, though who he would be managing has yet to be decided.

WWE OVER THE LIMITMay 20th 2012Youtube Pre-Show 0.) Cody Rhodes Defeated Santino MarellaCUE OPENING VIDEOThe show kicks off with a video package that promotes tonight’s huge WWE pay per view. It focuses heavily on tonight’s main event where CM Punk will defend the WWE Championship against fellow independent wrestling standout Daniel Bryan. Also tonight Sheamus puts the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry, we crown a new number one contender to that very championship as Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio clash and Big Show & The Miz face off with the John Laurinaitis led team of Lord Tensai and Jack Swagger. All that begins right now! We head down into the arena as we get a huge pyrotechnics display and pan around the 8,000 fans in the PNC Arena here in Raleigh, North Carolina. 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 massive card before they’re cut off by the music of Randy Orton. The action starts right now, exclusively at Over the Limit on pay per view! WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS MATCH RANDY ORTON vs. CHRIS JERICHO vs. ALBERTO DEL RIO vs. DOLPH ZIGGLERWith so much on the line at tonight’s pay per view there really wasn’t a better way to kick it off than with this match. These four men have made their case over the past few weeks about why they deserve the next shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, and the winner of this match would get exactly that. Things kicked off with a bang as all four men went at it, Randy Orton going after Del Rio and Ziggler brawling with Chris Jericho. Orton and Del Rio quickly sprawled to the outside, both men aggressively going at it and trying to take the other man out. During this Chris Jericho and Dolph Ziggler put on a clinic in the ring, battling back and forth with fast paced technical wrestling that really got the fans in the arena into the show. These two separate battles continued under Chris Jericho whipped Ziggler towards the ropes only for Ziggler to leap over them and crash into Orton and Del Rio. Jericho then went up top, waiting for the three men to get to their feet, before leaping off and taking all of them out with a huge suicidal leap. From there the match just erupted into chaos as all four men fought in and around the ring. There were moments where each could have gotten the victory but with four men involved there was always somebody to break things up. Towards the end Ziggler was taken out of the match by being sent over the top rope and crashing to the outside while Orton was hit by the Codebreaker only for Del Rio to break up the pinfall. Del Rio and Jericho went at it in a back and forth, the feeling in the arena being that whoever came out on top between these two men would take the victory. In the end Jericho managed to counter the Cross Armbreaker into the Walls of Jericho but just when it looked like Del Rio was about to tap out Ziggler slid in and nailed Del Rio with the Zig Zag straight down on top of Del Rio, taking both men out. Ziggler took a second too long bragging to the fans and turned around straight into the RKO, Orton rolling him over and getting the cover to win the match! RANDY ORTON DEFEATED DOLPH ZIGGLER, CHRIS JERICHO & ALBERTO DEL RIO.Randy Orton rises onto his feet, looking worse for wear following this highly entertaining encounter. He raises his arms in his signature taunt, knowing that this victory has just guaranteed him the next shot at the World Heavyweight Championship against either Sheamus or Mark Henry. We cut backstage to one of the men that Randy Orton may be facing, Mark Henry. He’s standing alongside Abraham Washington and Matt Striker, who wants to get Henry’s thoughts on his World Heavyweight Championship match against Sheamus here tonight. Abraham Washington does all the talking, saying that Mark Henry is the World’s Strongest Man, a juggernaut, an unstoppable force in professional wrestling. Sure, Sheamus is tough, but he’s nothing compared to Mark Henry and here tonight he’s going to learn that Mark Henry is badder than ever before. Washington brags that by the end of tonight’s pay per view he will be the agent of the World Heavyweight Champion. Washington begins leading them away but Henry pauses, turns to Striker and says very simply that tonight, the hall of pain is once again open for business. We move to the locker room of the WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz who has just arrived. He’s unpacking his gear when John Laurinaitis enters, the two engaging in a tense staredown. The Miz asks Laurinaitis what he wants, and Laurinaitis says that he is here to offer him something – a spot on ‘his team’. Laurinaitis tells Miz that acting the good guy doesn’t suit him, that he should be the WWE Champion, not the Intercontinental, and that he is the one who can make sure that The Miz is the next number one contender. The Miz tells John Laurinaitis that it doesn’t matter which title he is holding, because he is the most must see superstar in WWE. He refers to the fans, saying “some may like me, some may hate me, but they do respect me, because I’m The Miz, and I’m awesome.” Laurinaitis isn’t fazed, telling The Miz to consider the option and walking out. The Miz is left behind, clearly pondering his decision as we return to ringside. WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH PRIMO & EPICO [c] w/ ROSA MENDES vs. THE USO’SThis match was made after the Uso’s successfully defeated the WWE Tag Team Champions this past week on RAW, so everybody here including the champions knew that The Uso’s are more than capable of taking the titles. The teams were perfectly balanced against each other, Epico & Primo’s high flying being matched by The Uso’s high octane, fast paced, hard hitting style. Both teams went at it hard in the opening few minutes of the match before Epico & Primo began putting their game plan into practice, isolating Jey Uso with frequent tags and some quick paced offence. Everytime that Jey started fighting back and looked like he might be able to make the tag the other tag team champion would get involved and quickly bring the action back towards their turnbuckle. This went for a good few minutes, this match actually going considerably longer than most people expected it to. It the end Jey hit a huge double clothesline to both tag team champions and made the hot tag, Jimmy Uso hitting the ring and going to work, hitting Epico with a clothesline over the top rope and nailing Primo with the Samoan Drop. Jimmy went up high, looking for the Superfly Splash, when fellow All World Promotions client Darren Young appeared at ringside, distracting the referee just long enough for Titus O’Neill to push Jimmy Uso off of the top rope. Jimmy hit the top rope throat first, Epico sliding into the ring and hitting the Backstabber. Epico went for the pin, Darren Young backing away and allowing the referee to see the cover and count the three, giving Epico & Primo the victory! PRIMO & EPICO DEFEATED THE USO’S; PRIMO & EPICO RETAIN THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS.Primo & Epico are handed the WWE Tag Team Championships but are too confused about why the Prime Time Players helped them to celebrate. Darren Young and Titus O’Neil back up the ramp, both men grinning as they go. Something weird is definitely going on in the All World Promotion camp. We head backstage to the locker room of the Big Show, where the man in question is preparing for his match later tonight where he will team with The Miz against Jack Swagger and Lord Tensai. Someone enters the locker room and we slowly pan up to reveal John Laurinaitis. Big Show tells Laurinaitis to leave quickly before he knocks him out and Laurinaitis says that he just wants to ask Show whether he is sure that he can truth The Miz. Show says that he isn’t going to listen to the general manager’s pathetic attempts at mind games, saying that Vince McMahon always did it better. Laurinaitis tells Show that he isn’t trying anything, that he just wants to let him know that The Miz can’t be trusted, and that if given the right reason, he’ll stab Big Show in the back. Big Show says he’ll be fine, and once again repeats his earlier threat to knock Laurinaitis out if he doesn’t leave. As Laurinaitis is about to leave he says that maybe, just maybe, he’s already given The Miz the right reason to betray Show. Laurinaitis makes a hasty exit as Big Show gets to his feet, ready to attack the general manager. Show looks, conflicted, knowing that John Laurinaitis may indeed be correct about The Miz. We head to Matt Striker who is standing by with Dean Ambrose, who in just a few moments will face off with Mick Foley in an anything goes match. Matt looks uncomfortable, but asks for Ambrose’s thoughts on his match. Dean Ambrose says that he used to have thoughts, when he was a child, but then he saw Mick Foley and now all he can think of is how easy it is to hurt people. That’s what Mick Foley has done, he’s created a generation of people who think that all they have to do to be a wrestler is hurt other people and hurt themselves. Ambrose says that is all on Mick Foley, and tonight he is going to show this so called legend exactly what kind of person he has created. ANYTHING GOES MATCH MICK FOLEY vs. DEAN AMBROSEWow, if you thought this was going to be some kind of watered down no disqualification bout then you were dead wrong, because this was as downright nasty as you are likely to see in modern WWE, and even a bit more. Mick Foley seemed a little bit caution about truly unloading on Dean Ambrose during the first half of the match, a fact that Ambrose fully capitalised on, just viciously beating on the WWE legend. Things quickly sprawled to the outside and with the anything goes stipulation things soon got out of hand as Ambrose grabbed a kendo stick and started wailing on Foley. Mick managed to fight back thanks to a low blow, but still didn’t want to bring weapons into play, almost as if he was worried about proving himself as the man that Dean Ambrose claims him to be. Instead he tried straight up wrestling and brawling, only for Dean Ambrose to once again prove himself as highly capable in both of these aspects, overpowering Foley and sending him crashing into the steel steps. Ambrose begin driving his knee into the skull of Foley against the steps, before tossing him straight into the security barricade. Dean Ambrose went to the announce table, pushing the timekeeper out of his seat and grabbing a steel chair. Ambrose went after Foley with the chair but ended up getting pissed off with a fan at ringside who simply touched him. Ambrose dropped the chair, grabbing the fan around by the collar only for Foley to come out of nowhere, smashing him in the back with the chair. From there it became all about Mick Foley as the hardcore legend took the fight to Ambrose, no longer worrying about the damage he could cause as he attacked Ambrose with the chair, the steel steps and a stop sign. Foley threw Ambrose into the ring and brought a wooden table into play, setting it up near the turnbuckle. Dean Ambrose however caught Foley with a low blow and against went on the attack, taking the padding off of a turnbuckle and sending Foley head first into it, splitting Foley open. The referee attempted to stop the match to stem the bleeding but Ambrose wouldn’t allow it, continuing his attack on Foley. Ambrose went for the Knee Trembler but Foley dodged it and hit Ambrose with the Double Underhook DDT but could only manage a two count. Again the referee attempted to stem Foley’s bleeding which had gotten worse at this point but Foley pushed him away, dragging Ambrose over towards the turnbuckle and propping him up before climbing himself. Foley set Ambrose up for a Double Underhook DDT off of the turnbuckle through the table but Ambrose reversed it, hauling Foley up and then leaping off of the turnbuckle, putting Foley through the table with the Midnight Special! The crowd went insane booing Ambrose as he went for the cover, the referee counting three and putting a stop to this brutal match. DEAN AMBROSE DEFEATED MICK FOLEY.Dean Ambrose slowly rises to his feet as the referee ducks in to check on a busted open Mick Foley. Ambrose doesn’t like this and pushes the referee away, pulling Foley out of the table wreckage and throwing him into the centre of the ring. He pulls Foley up onto his hands and knees and backs away into the corner before charging forwards and nailing Foley with the Knee Trembler! Foley is instantly knocked out as the referee pushes Ambrose away. The damage is done however and the crowd are awkwardly silent at the referee checks on an unconscious Mick Foley. Dean Ambrose screams that they will all “fear my name” as we mercifully cut away. We head backstage where Josh Matthews is standing by with the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, looking to get a few words about his World Heavyweight Championship match which is up next. Sheamus says that he knew when he became the World Heavyweight Champion that he would have a target on his back, that everybody and their mothers would want to take a shot at him and take what he has. He says he was prepared for that, and that he is prepared for Mark Henry. Sheamus says that Mark Henry is the World’s Strongest Man, and that out of everybody he has faced Henry might just be the strongest and the toughest, but that doesn’t mean a damn thing because he is the Great White, he is the World Heavyweight Champion. Tonight it might not take eighteen seconds, but he will kick Mark Henry’s head off, retain his World Heavyweight Championship and then go and celebrate with a pint. Sheamus defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Mark Henry… next! A video package plays promoting the upcoming World Heavyweight Championship match between Sheamus and Mark Henry. It highlights Sheamus winning the World Heavyweight Championship from Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania, then shows Abraham Washington convincing Mark Henry to join All World Promotions. Since allying with Washington Mark Henry has been unstoppable, dominating opponents left and right before going on to win the number one contenders battle royal, earning him a title match with Sheamus. Over the past few weeks Mark Henry has had Sheamus’ number every step of the way, but tonight he will have to defeat Sheamus fair and square if he wants to become World Heavyweight Champion. Can Sheamus survive the World’s Strongest Man or will we crown a new World Heavyweight Champion. We’ll find out right now! WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH SHEAMUS [c] vs. MARK HENRY w/ ABRAHAM WASHINGTONFrom the moment these two squared up against each other in the ring it was apparent that this one wasn’t going to be a technical showcase, it wasn’t going to be a wrestling match, it was going to be an out and out brawl. Both men exploded from the start, exchanging right hands and attempting to take control of the match early on. Henry’s moniker as the World’s Strongest Man was quickly validated as he just overpowered Sheamus, throwing him about the ring in a way that the World Heavyweight Champion has never experienced before. Sheamus, so used to being the most powerful man in a fight, realized that he had to change up his usual gameplan and began showing that he is more than just strength, hitting Henry with such fury and speed that it was now Henry’s turn to be taken off guard, especially when a big shoulder block sent him crashing through the ropes to the outside. Sheamus had no problems in following and the match soon devolved into a massive brawl around ringside. As the referee counted Henry took control again and nearly put Sheamus through the fully set up announcers table with a World’s Strongest Slam, only for Sheamus to fight him off. Sheamus sent Henry crashing into the steel steps, breaking the count by rolling into the ring then back out. Sheamus began calling for the Brogue Kick on the outside, but Abraham Washington got in the middle, blocking Sheamus off. Sheamus just shrugged his shoulders and levelled AW with the Brogue Kick, taking him straight out of this match. Henry proceeded to level Sheamus with a huge clothesline, the match going back into the ring with the World’s Strongest Man in firm control. Henry dominated the next few moments, hitting multiple splashes on both the mat and in the corner, but was never able to get more than a near fall. Henry threw Sheamus over the top rope out of frustration, but Sheamus landed on the apron, got to his feet and then nailed Henry with the Battering Ram. Soon after Sheamus somehow managed to find the strength to hit Henry with White Noise but could only get a two count. Sheamus then set up for the Brogue Kick, only for Abraham Washington to use the last of his strength to slide a steel chair in the ring. Henry grabbed the chair on the mat and slowly rose to his feet but as he turned Sheamus nailed the Brogue Kick sending the chair straight into Mark Henry’s skull! Henry dropped to the mat like a mountain, Sheamus making the cover and getting the three count for the victory! SHEAMUS DEFEATED MARK HENRY; SHEAMUS RETAINS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.Sheamus is handed the World Heavyweight Championship and raises it up high, celebrating this mammoth victory over the World’s Strongest Man. Abraham Washington is in disbelief, the chair he sent into the ring being the different maker and not in the way he wanted. Sheamus ascends a turnbuckle, lifting the title up high having vanquished Mark Henry and retained the title all in one night. We head backstage where The Miz is finishing warming up for his match, which is up next, when the Big Show approaches him. Show doesn’t waste any time, he wants to know whether he can trust The Miz, saying he knows John Laurinaitis offered him a deal. The Miz tells Big Show that he doesn’t like him, but that he hates John Laurinaitis because he doesn’t recognise his talent, that he doesn’t see that he is the most must watch champion in World Wrestling Entertainment. The Miz tells Big Show that he doesn’t need to trust him, he just needs to trust that they both want to embarrass John Laurinaitis tonight. That seems to be enough for Big Show, and the team head towards ringside, they’re match is up next. We cut to AJ who is talking to a stagehand about how excited she is to see Beth Phoenix crush Layla here tonight. The stagehand looks a little nervous, creeped out by AJ’s recent behaviour, and that just gets worse when someone appears behind AJ – Daniel Bryan. Bryan sarcastically apologises to AJ for breaking her psyche when he dumped her, saying it can’t be easy considering he is just so damn handsome. AJ seems surprisingly confident, telling Daniel Bryan that it’s alright because he set her free. “Don’t you see Daniel, I’m free.” He asks if that’s right, and she just starts shouting “Yes! Yes! Yes!” repeatedly. Daniel Bryan tells her to stop, but she doesn’t. Eventually he gets so frustrated that he just storms off, leaving AJ chanting “Yes!” repeatedly. BIG SHOW & THE MIZ vs. LORD TENSAI & JACK SWAGGER W/ JOHN LAURINAITISThis match had a very weird atmosphere surrounding it for the crowd, because it was impossible for anyone to tell exactly what the motivations of any of these men were. There was an initial uneasiness between the team of Big Show and The Miz following John Laurinaitis’ mind games throughout the show, and with the general manager at ringside throughout the match that uneasiness was a lot more prominent. On the other side of things Jack Swagger and Lord Tensai seemed like a perfectly matched pairing, Swagger’s wrestling background and ability to simply outwrestle nearly anybody when one on one and Tensai’s pure strength and brutality making them difficult opponents for their opponents. Things were back and forth during the first half of the match with neither team particularly taking control, although every time that The Miz and Big Show got in any real offence John Laurinaitis seemed to get involved, distracting them in one way or the other, which led to Big Show exiting the ring and going after John Laurinaitis only to be hit by a vicious Lariat by Tensai on the outside. This led to The Miz being isolated by Swagger and Tensai for several minutes, the pairing working away at Miz but unable to keep him down. Swagger went for the Gutwrench only for The Miz to slip out the back and hit the Skull Crushing Finale, but when he went for the pinfall John Laurinaitis pulled the referee out of the ring with such force that the official hit the floor, taking him out of action. Before The Miz knew what was happening Tensai hit the ring and attacked him, before Big Show got back into the action and brawled with Tensai. Laurinaitis proceeded to grab the Intercontinental Championship, sliding it into Miz and telling him to hit Big Show with it. The Miz picked up the title and the crowd started booing, believing that he was allying with the general manager. The Miz charged forwards and blasted Tensai with the title, dropping the mammoth star to the floor! Miz threw the belt to the floor and turned back to Laurinaitis, shouting abuse at him before turning straight into the WMD from the Big Show, leaving everyone shocked. Even John Laurinaitis didn’t have a clue what was going on as the Big Show simply left the ring. Jack Swagger crawled on top of The Miz and Laurinaitis woke the referee up, sliding him back into the ring for the three count! JACK SWAGGER & LORD TENSAI DEFEATED THE MIZ & BIG SHOW.The crowd can’t believe what they have just witnessed, the Big Show having turned his back on The Miz and cost his own team the victory. John Laurinaitis enters the ring, raising Jack Swagger’s arm. Lord Tensai reaches his feet and then lifts The Miz up onto his feet before dropping him with the Chokebomb for added measure. Big Show simply turns his back on the ring and heads through the back, John Laurinaitis celebrating like he just won this match himself as we fade away. We head to the back where Matt Striker is standing by with WWE Champion CM Punk, who will defend his title against Daniel Bryan in tonight’s main event. Striker is looking to get a few words on that match, asking CM Punk whether he ever thought he would be headlining a WWE pay per view alongside Daniel Bryan. CM Punk says that he always knew that they had the talent to get here, but that it is an overwhelming experience. He says that they both worked hard to get here, and that he hoped their first match in the WWE would be about respect, but that Daniel Bryan shows him no respect. He says that Daniel Bryan clearly got his common sense knocked out of him when Sheamus Brogue Kicked him at WrestleMania, because if he thinks he is going to get away with disrespecting him then he has another thing coming. CM Punk says that he is the best in the world, the WWE Champion and tonight, he is the man that beats Daniel Bryan. We cut backstage where we see Big Show with his bag about to leave the arena. Josh Matthews attempts to get a few words with him, asking why he just cost himself and The Miz their match. Big Show looks at him and then face palms him, pushing him to the floor before walking off. WWE DIVA’S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH LAYLA [c] vs. BETH PHOENIXAfter winning the title last month at Extreme Rules Layla was faced with a big firs title defence here against the former champion Beth Phoenix. Just like in the past few weeks Beth Phoenix came into this match looking focused and downright scary, something she definitely backed up as the match began. Knowing that Layla’s knee still hasn’t fully recovered from the injury that left her out of action for close to a year Beth Phoenix made that the target of her game plan. Layla fought back against this as best as she could, but found herself fighting a losing battle for most of the match as she struggled to match the strength of the challenger, especially with the pain in her knee. Still, Layla showed the heart of a champion and managed to catch a charging Beth with a turnbuckle assisted double boot to the face. From there Layla built up some momentum, hitting a huge bulldog and going for the Bombshell, only for Beth to dodge the move and take Layla’s leg out with a chop block. It wasn’t long before Beth locked Layla in a one legged Boston crab, Layla shouting in excruciating pain. It looked like she was going to have to tap out but Layla managed to flip out of the hold and came out of nowhere with the Lay-Out, Layla getting the pinfall and retaining the title. LAYLA DEFEATED BETH PHOENIX; LAYLA RETAINS THE WWE DIVA’S CHAMPIONSHIP.Layla limps up onto her feet, her knee causing her problems following the abuse it took at the hands of Beth Phoenix. She is handed the WWE Diva's Champion, lifting it up high, exuberant at having bested the glamazon for the second pay per view in a row. Suddenly she is taken down to the ground by a dropkick to the back of the injured knee, none other than AJ standing over her! As Layla attempts to get onto her feet, completely unaware of what just happened, AJ runs the ropes and lays Layla out with the Shining Wizard. AJ stands over Layla, looking fixated and holding her hair in her hands, her grip on reality seemingly becoming more and more loose as we cut away. We cut to the backstage area where the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus is winding down following his massive victory earlier tonight. Slowly he lifts his head, looking at somebody off screen. He smirks, asking how it feels to know they’re next in line. We pan around to show that it is in fact the new number one contender to Sheamus’ title, Randy Orton. Randy tells Sheamus that beating Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry is nothing compared to having to defend the title against him, saying that Sheamus better be prepared. Sheamus says that it doesn’t matter who he is against, when he delivers the Brogue Kick, he wins the match. Randy promises that if Sheamus tries that Brogue Kick on him, he’ll be dropped on the spot by the RKO. The two men stare each other down, before Orton says that he’ll be seeing Sheamus on SmackDown and walking off, Sheamus watching with a smirk, clearly looking forward to the challenge. We’re treated to a video package promoting tonight’s main event, the WWE Championship match between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. It starts by highlighting their time on the independent circuit, focusing heavily on how similar their careers have been. While CM Punk made his first appearances in ECW, Daniel Bryan did the same with NXT. Both men would go on to hold and successfully cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase, and now, after over a decade of toiling away, both men will face each other in a WWE pay per view. It shows Daniel Bryan’s turn into an egotistical maniac while CM Punk has become the voice of the voiceless, leading into the announcement of their match by John Laurinaitis. CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, two men whose careers have paralleled each other so closely, will go one on one for the WWE Championship… next! WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH CM PUNK [c] vs. DANIEL BRYANThis was the big match of the night and everybody in this arena knew it as the atmosphere was absolutely electric the moment that the entrances began. From the opening seconds alone it was apparent why this one was so highly anticipated, CM Punk in possibly the most fan favourite star in the WWE right now while Daniel Bryan manages to get a massive amount of heat while still getting the fans to chant “Yes!” They took this energy into the match itself, things starting off slow with some good old fashioned back and forth counter chain wrestling, something which these two guys do better than most of the roster right now. Neither really got an advantage until Bryan clawed at Punk’s eyes and followed up with a dropkick to the knee. From there the former World Heavyweight Champion went to work on the shoulder and neck of Punk possibly ahead of the Yes! Lock. CM Punk fought back, catching Bryan with a leaping knee out of nowhere followed by a rolling elbow that put him firmly back in the driving seat. CM Punk worked over Daniel Bryan with slow, methodical holds, settling the crowd down enough that they popped big when Bryan countered the step up knee in the corner, sending CM Punk flying over the top rope to the ground. Bryan stepped out onto the ring apron and then leapt off, connecting with the jumping high knee. From there Daniel Bryan used the ringside environment to his advantage, including multiple kicks to the shoulder while Punk was propped up against the steel steps. Punk managed to counter a kick directed at his head though, lifting Daniel Bryan up onto his shoulders and dropping him jaw first onto the steel steps. CM Punk then began working Bryan over at ringside including a powerbomb against the ring apron, before rolling him back into the ring and sliding in at the count of nine. With Bryan feeling the pain at this point Punk took complete control, connecting with the step up knee in the corner followed by his traditional running bulldog before signalling for the GTS. Bryan rose to his feet and Punk hoisted him up, only for Daniel Bryan to counter and drag CM Punk down into the Yes! Lock. Punk struggled as Bryan put pressure on the already painful neck but somehow managed to reach the ropes to break the hold. Daniel Bryan then taunted CM Punk with his own finishing move, going for the GTS. This proved to be a mistake as CM Punk rolled out the back and went for the Anaconda Vice, a submission move that Bryan narrowly managed to avoid. Things got truly fast paced at this point as both men were getting desperate, pulling out the big signature moves as they attempted to end this. In the end CM Punk whipped Bryan into the corner, Bryan running up and backflipping off of the turnbuckle right into a waiting Punk who caught him on his shoulders and dropped him with a sudden GTS! Bryan went down and CM Punk made the cover, getting the three count and retaining the WWE Championship. CM PUNK DEFEATED DANIEL BRYAN; CM PUNK RETAINS THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP.The crowd go crazy as CM Punk’s music hits, the voice of the voiceless having successfully retained the WWE Championship here tonight in the main event. Punk slowly rises to his feet, showing the wear and tear that he suffered during the match, and is handed his WWE Championship. Punk lifts it up into the air, screaming “best in the world” as the fans continue to cheer. We fade out on the sight of CM Punk, still the WWE Champion, as Over the Limit comes to an end.

Really good opening match for the Pay Per View. Wanted Ziggler to win but Orton/Sheamus is the money match I suppose.
Miz is a face? That's interesting, always wanted to see it.
Colon's retaining the tag titles. Would be cool to see The Uso's get a run, but I'd prefer the belts to go straight to the Prime Time Players.
Awesome anywhere falls match with Foley and Ambrose. Great finish and I'm looking forward to what you do with Dean.
Would have loved to see Henry get a 2nd reign with the World title, but tonight was not his night. Nice finish that didn't hurt Henry at all.
Really need to read a few shows back to understand this Show/Miz vs Swagger/Tensai deal. I do like a face Miz though and would like to see a Miz/Ambrose feud over the Intercontinental Title.
Shining Wizard! A AJ/Layla feud should be entertaining.
Amazing finish to the main event. Pictured it perfectly in my head, and I'm really sad now it hasn't happened on tv. Here's hoping, eh. Bryan and Punk closing the show is also awesome.
Really entertaining show, Dale. Original storylines that are being developed greatly.

Haven't watched this one as closely as I'd like to. I see you got some unique ideas going on now; let's see how you run with them!
OVER THE LIMIT - Good opener that would get the crowd going. I mean, the World Heavyweight Championship match could go either way still since Orton would face anyone. - AW as the mouthpiece for Henry should work out in the long run. - Interesting Miz/Big Johnny skit. - Eh to me, seems like a throwaway tag team match. Don't think the crowd would care for this too much. - Love Big Show's 'Vince did it better' comment. - Eh, I am not buying Ambrose this quick. Sure, Foley would help him get over, but it seems awfully quick for him to beat a legend like Mick. - Sheamus win is good and Sheamus/Orton should be decent enough I'd say. - THE SWERVE! What a turn; didn't expect it to be Big Show at all honestly. - Then theres the Divas match... - Punk going over is smart and perfect to continue his reign. Overall, solid ending to the show.
Keep it up my dude!

Haven't been keeping up this as much as I should, but I'm hoping I can start with Over The Limit. Hot Fatal Four Way match to open. A lot of great talent, and I'm a bit surprised Randy Orton came out victorious. I can't see Sheamus losing the title tonight, so are we heading for a face/face program in June? I'm not particularly big on The Usos, but it is nice to see them getting an opportunity on PPV. Primo and Epico don't do much for me either, so I'm hoping to see new champions soon. And a rise in the division as a whole. Brutal match between Dean Ambrose and Mick Foley, with even more brutal finish. Ambrose looked great here, hoping to see him on the rise in 2012. As expected, Sheamus with a successful World Heavyweight Championship defense against Mark Henry. Since we're looking ahead to Sheamus/Orton now, I wonder what's next for Henry. Quite the interesting tag team match here. I do like Miz as a face, if I didn't state so already. Eh, Show's heel turn staying intact here. Guess I should've seen it coming after he lost the Intercontinental Championship to Miz. I'm hoping a feud against John Laurinaitis and Show can help Miz ascend back into the main event scene. Decent Divas Championship match here, and nice retain for Layla. AJ attack?!?! I love it! Send her cute little ass to the moon! Lastly, fantastic main event with CM Punk getting the victory over Daniel Bryan. Happy to see this match get the full main event treatment that it deserved, and while I'm alright with Punk retaining, I'm hoping to see Bryan capture the title soon. A good show overall, and I'll be sure not to get behind again in this diary as it is coming along very well.

I've never been fond of #1 Contendership Matches on Pay-Per-View, I just don't think it works for me. But Randy Orton with a victory is alright, an Orton/Sheamus rivalry could be good, despite both being face. The Miz as a babyface? Do not like it, and he isn't capable in my opinion, he has too many haters. Pleased to see Primo and Epico retain the WWE Tag Team Championships, definitely the more entertaining team of the two. I think Ambrose is still a bit green in the WWE to be getting a victory over Mick Foley, but it would have definitely gotten him over for sure. Sheamus retaining the World Heavyweight Championship is the right move, he needs a lengthy title reign into the future. Again, don't like The Miz being a babyface, and a Big Show/Miz feud (if that's where this is going) doesn't interest me with the roles reversed. Layla retaining the Divas Championship is good for her, but I do hope to see Beth capture the title soon, she's one of the best they have. I think an obvious victory for CM Punk here, his matches with Daniel Bryan are always grand, but I would love to see Bryan take the WWE Championship eventually, perhaps at SummerSlam. Overall, a decent Pay-Per-View event.

WWE Over the Limit,
Cool to see the Number One Contenders match start the show, quite disapointed taht Orton got the win, Orton has had too many World Title runs.
Bit of Tag Team action quite cool to see, would've loved the Usos to win, but I do like the Champs, wished I could tell the difference between bopth sets of teammates. But Pryme Tyme Playas getting involved, is this gang wars, Mexicans vs Samoans vs African Americans?
Unsure who Dean Ambrose is, but he's facing a wrestling legend, unfortnely didn't expect Foley to be good shape, especially with the weight he's put on, and the constant injuries he must be going through, as exspected Ambrose got the win.
Was honestly expecting Mark Henry to get a win against Sheamus, would've loved another Henry rein, as I havn't enjoyed Sheamus' World Title run as of late in real life.
Tag Match confused me loads, and I was expecting Miz to turn on Show when the belt was handed to him, man I'm shocked Big Show punched Miz.
Diva's Championship, was expecting Layla to get a surprize win and I was right, would've seem silly for Layla to drop the title that quickly into the reins. AJ challengeing for the championship, well that's cool to see and someone different.
Great match between two Internet favourites, I was pleased with either getting the win, hopefully they have a rematch.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAWMay 21st 2012- Tamina Snuka & Kelly Kelly Defeated Beth Phoenix & Rosa Mendes - Lord Tensai Defeated Yoshi TatsuCUE OPENING VIDEO
- RAW kicks off with our announcing team of Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler promoting tonight’s show and going over the big events of Over the Limit, such as CM Punk retaining the WWE Championship and Big Show turning on The Miz. They start to hype up the fallout for tonight’s show but are cut off by the music of the Big Show. - Big Show hits the ring to a massive chorus of boos. He begins talking about Over the Limit, saying that everybody wants an explanation about why he turned on The Miz, but that he doesn’t owe them an explanation, he doesn’t owe them anything. Show says they’ve treated him like a joke for too long and he isn’t going to stand around and take it any longer. He is cut off by the WWE Champion CM Punk. Punk hits the ring and tells Big Show that there is only one person to blame for him being a joke, and that is himself. Punk says Big Show became complacent, and that nothing is going to change by becoming John Laurinaitis’ stooge. Show interrupts, saying he has nothing to do with Laurinaitis, and that Punk better shut his mouth if he doesn’t want to be knocked out. This brings out John Laurinaitis, who says that sounds like a great idea and promptly books a match between WWE Champion CM Punk and Big Show for tonight! Punk and Big Show square up to each other as RAW cuts to commercial. 1.) Kane Defeated Alex Riley. After chokeslamming Kofi Kingston on the backstage floor last week Kane showed that same viciousness here tonight, tearing through Alex Riley and putting him away with the Chokeslam. - Following the match Kane is attacked by Kofi Kingston as payback for Kane’s attack the past two weeks, with Kingston sending Kane over the ropes to the outside much to Kane’s fury. - We cut to the general manager’s office where John Laurinaitis is with Jack Swagger. Swagger wants to know why he gave Big Show the match with CM Punk, saying that he deserves the opportunity more than that giant oaf. Laurinaitis says that he has another task for Jack Swagger tonight, saying that he’ll be going one on one with The Miz and that he wants Swagger to take care of The Miz for good. - Backstage we see Big Show walking through the hallway when he finds himself face to face with a stony faced Miz. The two stare each other down and Miz coldly tells Big Show that he understands why Show did what he did, because he’s done his fair share of stabbing people in the back, but the difference is that he could always back it up. Big Show says that he clearly knocked Miz silly if he thinks he’s scared of him. Miz says he doesn’t need him to be scared, he just needs him to know that he screwed with the wrong man, because he’s the Miz, and he’s awesome. Miz walks off, leaving Show bemused, shaking his head in disbelief. 2. WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) Epico & Primo [c] w/ Abraham Washington & Rosa Mendes Defeated The Uso’s. In an Over the Limit rematch Epico & Primo were taken to the limit by The Uso’s once again. For the second time in as many nights it looked like The Uso’s were going to walk away with the titles, only for a distraction by the Prime Time Players allowing Epico to hit the backstabber on Jey Uso to get the victory. - Following the match AW left with the Prime Time Players leaving Epico & Primo confused in the ring, as things in All World Promotions seem to be getting very complicated indeed. - We head backstage where Scott Stanford is attempting to get a word with Daniel Bryan about losing to CM Punk last night. Bryan says Stanford would like that, and Stanford says yes. Bryan asks if he’s mocking him, and starts screaming “No!” as he walks off, leaving everyone confused. 3.) The Miz Defeated Jack Swagger w/ Vickie Guerrero. Following last night’s big tag team match The Miz wanted to get some payback on one of John Laurinaitis’ lackey. These two put on a great match, and slowly The Miz seems to be winning people over as a face. Swagger has completely turned things around since becoming the sole client of Vickie Guerrero and he nearly got the victory here, but The Miz escaped a Gutwrench Powerbomb attempt and hit the Skull Crushing Finale for the victory. - Following the match Miz was attacked and laid out by Lord Tensai, followed by a Gutwrench Powerbomb by Jack Swagger, sending a very firm message to The Miz and everyone who is against John Laurinaitis. - We head backstage where Abraham Washington is attempting to defuse an argument between Epico & Primo and the Prime Time Players. Washington explains that he now has both teams on his books, saying that it’s just good business. The Tag Team Champions say that he has no time to promote them as is with Mark Henry on SmackDown and that they’re not going to stand around and let him mess with them ever more. Epico & Primo walk off, AW telling the Prime Time Players that they’ll come around and that it will ‘all work out’. - Daniel Bryan is out next, seemingly getting mad when the fans chant “Yes!” at him. He enters the ring and starts screaming “No!”. He says he is sick and tired of everyone mocking him. He says that from now on nobody gets to chant “Yes” but him. He goes on to demand another match with the WWE Champion, saying he lost only because the crowd kept distracting him by chanting. He says he isn’t leaving until he gets his title shot. He sits in the ring like a child before the music of Santino Marella plays, Bryan looking furious at this turn of events. 4.) Daniel Bryan Defeated Santino Marella. This was a bit of an impromptu match but that didn’t make it any less entertaining, mixing pretty decent wrestling and moments of comedy, including Bryan getting into a shouting match with a member of the audience that nearly lead to him being counted out. In the end Bryan ducked under the Cobra and locked Santino in the newly christened No! Lock leaving Santino not choice but to tap out. - Daniel Bryan exits the ring and begins getting in another argument with a fan at ringside, the two going back and forth with “Yes!” and “No!” chants. Meanwhile Santino slowly gets to his feet as Drew McIntyre slides into the ring and, for the second week in a row, drops Santino with the Future Shock DDT. McIntyre stands over Santino while Daniel Bryan walks up the ramp, screaming “No!” at the top of his lungs over and over. - We head backstage where Scott Stanford is looking to get a few words with WWE Champion CM Punk about his match with Big Show tonight. Punk says that this isn’t the first time that he’s faced the Big Show and that just like last time he knows what Show is all about. Punk says Big Show never changes, that he’s always just going to be a giant loser because he doesn’t know who he is or what he wants to be, so he flip flops all over the place. CM Punk says that he knows who he is, he’s the WWE Champion, he’s the best in the world and tonight he’s the man that puts the Big Show down for the three count. - We get a video package promoting the RAW return of the “Million Dollar Prodigy” Ted DiBiase and the “Perfect One” Joe Hennig. The Perfect Sons return to Monday Night RAW – soon! 5.) Brodus Clay Defeated Cody Rhodes via Disqualification. After getting himself disqualified against Clay last week Rhodes was forced into a rematch here, and he certainly looked a lot more focused, working away at the knees of Clay and keeping him grounded. Regardless Clay’s strength and unique style gave him a big advantage and he looked set to be victorious once again only for Rhodes to hit him with a low blow, getting himself disqualified once again. Rhodes promptly hit Clay with the Cross-Rhodes. For the second week in a row Rhodes gets himself disqualified, but still ends up standing tall. - We head backstage where Scott Stanford is looking to get a few words with Kofi Kingston regarding his attack on Kane earlier tonight. Kingston says that Kane attacked him two weeks ago and that last week Kane chokeslammed him on concrete, nearly injuring him. Kingston says that Kane took things too far and that now he’s going to show Kane what it’s like to nearly have his career ended. - We get a promotional video announcing a brand new season of NXT, coming June 1st exclusively on SyFy one hour before SmackDown. Three hours of great wrestling exclusively on Friday Nights starts June 1st! 6.) CM Punk vs. Big Show went to a no contest due to outside interference. A big main event here tonight and following his turn at Over the Limit the crowd were firmly against Big Show. Show showed off a new viciousness in this one as he seemed to truly want to hurt CM Punk but this is the best in the world we’re talking about, Punk giving as good as he got. The fight went all around ringside as both men tore each other apart but just when it looked like Big Show was setting up for the WMD Daniel Bryan entered the ring and attacked CM Punk. - Big Show stands there, stunned at what just happened, while Daniel Bryan continues to put the boots in on CM Punk. Show pulls Bryan away and demands to know what he was thinking getting involved in the match but before he can get an answer The Miz slides into the ring and attacks Show while CM Punk tackles Daniel Bryan. The four men brawl around the ring with Miz and Big Show sprawling to the outside where Show pushes Miz into the steel steps and rather than fight heads up the ramp, leaving Miz stunned on the floor. Inside the ring Punk manages to eject Daniel Bryan from the ring, sending him flying over the top ropes. He stands there, raising his WWE Championship and staring down Daniel Bryan… only to be laid out as Christian appears behind him and hits him with the Unprettier! The crowd go crazy at the shocking return of Captain Charisma, Christian standing tall over the WWE Champion as RAW goes off the air.

WWE News: Christian’s Return, NXT, The Miz Face Turn, More…- As seen on this weeks RAW Christian made his big return from injury by attacking WWE Champion CM Punk. Christian had been out of action since March after aggravating a pre-existing shoulder injury during a match with CM Punk. Many people backstage were surprised at Christian’s return because he hadn’t told anyone and he didn’t change in the same locker room as the rest of roster, with it being reported that only creative, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan knowing about his return beforehand due to the nature of the segment. This was done to try and keep the return from leaking onto dirt sheets and due to it’s success it is highly expected to be the way WWE carries out business in future. Christian is currently expected to feud with CM Punk for the title heading into No Way Out. - During RAW an announcement was made regarding a new season of NXT that will be broadcast before SmackDown every Friday on SyFy. We can confirm that this is indeed the production deal that WWE made with Fall State University as WWE have announced that they will be holding an NXT taping next Tuesday. It is being reported that the new season will feature competitors from Florida Championship Wrestling and will not use the former pro / rookie system. - The Miz’s recent face turn has received a pretty split reaction both from members of the creative team and the internet wrestling community. Some people don’t believe that The Miz has the ability to pull off playing a face due to the ‘love to hate’ relationship he has with the fans, while others believe that he has pulled it off in the first few weeks thanks to playing off of a recently turned Big Show. It is currently being reported that if his face turn is deemed a success within the upcoming months that he may be in for a run with the WWE Championship sometime this year. - Current plans call for Kofi Kingston and Kane’s feud to lead into a match at No Way Out. As we reported a few weeks ago Kofi Kingston is in the running for a very big push now that he and R-Truth’s tag team have broken up and with Kane’s history of putting over young talent it would appear that this is the start of that push.

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWNMay 25th 2012- Ryback Defeated Johnny Curtis - Heath Slater Defeated Trent Barreta - Prior to the usual opening video we get a video package recapping the World Heavyweight Championship match between Sheamus and Mark Henry, which ended when Sheamus hit Henry with a Brogue Kick while Henry was holding a steel chair.
CUE OPENING VIDEO - Following the opening video we head down to ringside where Michael Cole, Booker T and Josh Matthews are at the announce table, hyping up tonight’s show. They promote that tonight we will see all the fallout from Over the Limit as well as a triple threat match where David Otunga will defend the United States Championship against both R-Truth and Zack Ryder. Before they can continue they’re cut off by the music of Mark Henry.
- The World’s Strongest Man makes his way out to the ring accompanied by Abraham Washington. They hit the ring and Abraham Washington is about to speak when Henry snatches the microphone off of him. Henry says that Sunday night he was screwed out of the World Heavyweight Championship, that Sheamus couldn’t beat him and that he resorted to cheap tricks and a steel chair to finish him off. Henry demands another shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. This brings out Sheamus, the Great White hitting the ring and squaring up to Henry. Sheamus reminds Mark Henry that it was Abraham Washington who brought the steel chair into the match, but tells him that he’d be happy to give him another shot just so he can beat him again. Before they can make any kind of match official Randy Orton breaks it up, hitting the ring and telling both of them that the only man who is going to get a shot at the title is him, he won the number one contenders match last night and he is going to win the World Heavyweight Championship at No Way Out. The three men almost come to blows, with Abraham Washington trying to convince Henry to leave, when the assistant general manager Eve comes out. She says that with John Laurinaitis absent tonight she is going to make the main event right now – a match between Mark Henry and Randy Orton. The crowd pop as Henry and Orton square up to each other, Sheamus looking pretty pleased as we cut away.
COMMERCIAL BREAK - We return to SmackDown to the entrance of Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio hits the ring and starts to complain about how he was cheated out of becoming the number one contender last night. He says that it wasn’t fair that he had to face three other men and that because he wasn’t pinned he never lost. The fans start booing him and he screams at them to stop, telling them that he deserves respect. Del Rio promises that everybody that gets into the ring with him will suffer until he gets the respect that he deserves.
1.) Alberto Del Rio w/ Ricardo Rodriguez Defeated Percy Watson. Del Rio certainly seemed intent to back up his words before the match as he was a lot more aggressive than we have seen him before. Percy Watson, who hasn’t had much luck since coming to SmackDown, tried to fight back and put up a decent fight, but in the end Del Rio did too much damage to the arm and locked in the Cross Armbreaker, leaving Watson no choice but to tap out.
- After the bell rings Alberto Del Rio refuses to release the Cross Armbreaker for several seconds, only releasing it after the official threatens to reverse the result. Del Rio is backed up as Percy Watson clutches his arm, Del Rio screaming “respect me” as we cut away.
- We head backstage where David Otunga is preparing for his United States Championship defence later tonight. He is interrupted by a smug looking Eve, the assistant general manager telling David Otunga that John Laurinaitis wishes him luck… oh wait, he doesn’t, because he doesn’t care. Otunga tells Eve that he wrapped Laurinaitis around her little finger because Laurinaitis is weak, he can’t do anything for himself. Otunga says that Laurinaitis got rid of him when he found Eve, and he’ll get rid of Eve just the same. Otunga walks off as we cut to commercials.
COMMERCIAL BREAK - We return to SmackDown to a recap video of the events of the Diva’s Championship match from Over the Limit, where Layla successfully defended her title against Beth Phoenix before being attacked by AJ. The Diva’s Champion is in action… next!
2.) Layla Defeated Natalya. Solid diva’s action here on SmackDown tonight as Layla looked to continue her roll against Natalya. The Queen of Harts brought her A-game and nearly got the victory but Layla managed to counter an attempt at the sharpshooter and soon hit the Lay-Out to pick up the victory.
- As Layla is handed the Diva’s Championship she is struck from behind, knocked to the ground by AJ for the second time in one week. AJ puts the boots in before nailing Layla with the Shining Wizard, laying the Diva’s Champion once again.
- We cut backstage where Antonio Cesaro and Aksana are in the office of the assistant general manager Eve. Cesaro wants to know why he doesn’t have a match on tonight’s show, saying that a man of his talent deserves to be in the main event. Eve says that she can’t make that happen, but that she does have something that Cesaro can help her out with. Aksana steps in, not impressed by Eve’s attempts at flirting with her man, but Eve says that if he helps her out, she’ll help him out. Cesaro tells her to keep talking, Aksana looking unimpressed as we cut to commercials.
COMMERCIAL BREAK - As we return we go to a video package, highlighting the currently injured Sin Cara, showcasing the man’s skills. Sin Cara returns to SmackDown… soon.
3. WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH) David Otunga [c] Defeated R-Truth and Zack Ryder. David Otunga has had a tough time in the past few weeks when it comes to defending the United States Championship, particularly now that he doesn’t have the support of John Lauriniaits. Here he faced his toughest challenge as both R-Truth and Zack Ryder brought their all to this match in an attempt to win the title. Otunga showed the fighting spirit that seems to have impressed a large part of the WWE Universe and after Ryder hit Truth with the Rough Ryder Otunga came from behind and connected with the Verdict to get the pin and retain the title.
- The crowd let out a small pop as David Otunga is handed the United States Championship, but his celebrations are short lived as Antonio Cesaro slides into the ring and begins to beat him down. Cesaro nails him with the Very European Uppercut and follows up with the Neutralizer. Antonio Cesaro stands tall over David Otunga, holding up the United States Championship as we cut away.
- We head backstage where Layla is talking with Alicia Fox, holding her head and completely clueless on why AJ keeps attacking her. Layla says that maybe AJ has just snapped and as she says that AJ comes from behind, nailing her with a forearm that drops Layla to the floor. AJ screams that she isn’t crazy before backing off, Alicia Fox checking on the Diva’s Champion as we cut to commercials.
COMMERCIAL BREAK - As SmackDown returns Dolph Ziggler makes his way out to the ring to a lot of heat. Ziggler begins talking about how close he came to becoming the number one contender last night, saying that he was by far the best man in that match. Ziggler starts talking about how nobody can keep up with him, that he is a future World Heavyweight Champion and the best in the world at what he does. This brings out Chris Jericho, who hits the ring to the annoyance of Dolph Ziggler. Jericho asks Ziggler whether he really just said that, saying that he is sick and tired of everybody ripping him off. He calls Dolph Ziggler nothing more than a cocky pretty boy. Ziggler says that that is what people said about Jericho and Jericho says that the difference between them is that he backs it up. Dolph asks Jericho when the last time was that he did anything of any value, saying that Jericho hasn’t got what it takes anymore. Jericho tells Ziggler that he better shut the hell up before he kicks his ass, Ziggler saying that Jericho better keep his blood pressure down because he’s getting old. Suddenly Ziggler goes for a right hand, Jericho blocking the strike and fighting Ziggler off before throwing him over the top rope. Ziggler backs up the ramp with Chris Jericho grinning in the ring, things heating up between these two men here on SmackDown.
- We get a promotional video repeating the announcement from Monday Night RAW of a brand new season of NXT, coming June 1st exclusively on SyFy one hour before SmackDown. Three hours of great wrestling on SyFy come exclusively to Friday Nights starting June 1st.
COMMERCIAL BREAK - We head backstage where Randy Orton is preparing for his main event with the World’s Strongest Man Mark Henry. He is interrupted by the world Heavyweight Champion Sheamus, who wishes Randy luck against Henry here tonight, saying that he knows how tough Mark Henry can be. Orton squares up to Sheamus, harshly saying that he doesn’t need any luck, that he is going to go out there tonight and beat Mark Henry and then he is going to walk into No Way Out and become the new World Heavyweight Champion. The two men stare each other down for a moment for Sheamus shrugs, pats Orton on the back hard and then walks out, Randy Orton looking on coldly as SmackDown cuts away.
- We get a recap video of the Over the Limit match between Dean Ambrose and Mick Foley, a vicious match that saw Dean Ambrose emerge the victor.
4.) Dean Ambrose Defeated Tyson Kidd. These two men have already proven that they can put on a highly entertaining match against each other, and that was the case again tonight. Both men gave it their all in a solid back and forth contest that Tyson Kidd came very close to winning on more than one occasion, before Ambrose fought back, using some vicious tactics and eventually putting Kidd down for the count with the Midnight Special.
- Following the match Dean Ambrose grabs a microphone and begins bragging about how he beat Mick Foley. He says that Foley now knows how it feels to be nothing more than a broken husk, the same way that he left so many members of Ambrose’s generation because of his disgusting career. He says that now Foley is gone he feels so cold, so hollow, but that he is going to fill that hole with pain and suffering. He is cut off by Mick Foley on the big screen. Foley looks considerably beaten up but also deranged. He says that Ambrose is right, he did beat him, but he didn’t break him, he didn’t end him. He says that that was Ambrose’s mistake, and that next week he is coming to SmackDown to show Dean Ambrose what happens when they push him too far. He ends the segment with two signature words before SmackDown cuts to commercials – “Bang bang!”
COMMERCIAL BREAK - We return to SmackDown and to the entrance of Damien Sandow, who hits the ring and cuts a promo insulting the fans for their lack of intelligence. He brings up how last week he proved Mason Ryan to be an imbecile who was unable to see the greatness of his machinations, and says that soon enough they will all be thanking him for enlightening them. He is cut off before he can continue by the man he laid out last week, Mason Ryan making his way to the ring. These two will be in action… next!
5.) Damien Sandow Defeated Mason Ryan. After turning his back on Mason Ryan last week Damien Sandow certainly had his hands full with the furious and determined big man and he was certainly pushed to the limit from the start of the match. It was pretty obvious to everybody that Sandow was carrying Ryan for the majority of the match but this was still a solidly entertaining contest. In the end Sandow ducked under a running big boot and went on the attack, soon hitting Terminus for the massive victory.
- Damien Sandow begins celebrating his victory as the crowd boo him only for his celebrations to be cut short by the booming sound of “feed me more”, the crowd popping as Ryback makes an appearance here tonight. Sandow doesn’t stick around to find out what Ryback wants, quickly exiting the ring as the Behemoth enters it. Ryback hauls Mason Ryan up onto his feet and then shows off a tremendous amount of strength by lifting him up onto his shoulders and dropping him with Shell Shocked. Ryback roars “feed me more” repeatedly, the crowd going along with it, as SmackDown cuts away.
COMMERCIAL BREAK - We return to SmackDown and to a graphic that announces that next week on SmackDown Chris Jericho and Dolph Ziggler will go one on one, exclusively on SyFy!
- Prior to the main event World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus makes his way down to ringside, joining our three person announce team to provide guest commentary for tonight’s huge main event.
6.) Mark Henry w/ Abraham Washington Defeated Randy Orton. In tonight’s blockbuster main event the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton faced off with Mark Henry, the man who is demanding a rematch against Sheamus. The two went at it from the beginning, both looking to prove themselves worthy of being the man to challenge Sheamus at No Way Out. With Sheamus on commentary Henry and Orton fought tooth and nail both in the ring and around ringside. Things got dangerously close to the announce table resulting in Sheamus sharing some less than kind words with Mark Henry before Orton pushed Henry straight into Sheamus, knocking the World Champion to the ground. Things went back into the ring and Orton went for the RKO, only for Henry to counter the move, pushing Orton towards the ropes where AW nailed him with his shoe out of sight of the referee. Orton staggered backwards and Henry nailed him with the World’s Strongest Slam to get the victory!
- The crowd are stunned as the World’s Strongest Man is announced the victor over the number one contender Randy Orton. Sheamus stares intently at Mark Henry in the ring, the two men staring each other down as SmackDown goes off the air, leaving the big question – who truly deserves to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship?

Double reply, because I'm awesome.
Interesting way to open Raw; Big Show has had more alignment changes than he probably changes his clothes. But he's good at both, so tonight's Main Event should be good. Unsure on Raw opening with what was in essence a squash match, but nice to see Kofi Kingston get his revenge. A feud could definitely be interesting. Happy to see Primo and Epico once again retain the WWE Tag Team Championships. Abraham Washington leaving them for the Prime Time Players, while close to reality, fits better. Again, not at all sold on a Miz face turn, but a win over Jack Swagger nonetheless. Tensai making the attack obviously supports the fact that Laurinaitis and Miz are at each other's throats. Ah, I see, so Washington is bringing the two teams together, but it's not working out. Makes sense. An obvious victory for Daniel Bryan over Santino Marella, and I like the aftermath with Drew McIntyre. At least you're using him right. Another diary going for the Ted DiBiase/Joe Hennig pairing, it seems obvious but I don't think it would actually bother anyone with them not being over. I like this ongoing feud between Brodus Clay and Cody Rhodes, but it can only end in a No Disqualification Match it seems, unless Clay simply finally gets his hands on Rhodes. Clustered Main Event with the interference, and where the hell did Christian come from? So is Christian going to be heel or is this a babyface feud? Not sure, but a nice way to close the show.
Now for SmackDown. Abraham Washington seems to be getting more air time than the World Champions. Mark Henry versus Randy Orton was always a good encounter. Much like Raw, this didn't seem like much of an opening match to get the fans going since it was obvious Del Rio wasn't losing to Percy Watson of all people. Divas aren't really interesting at the moment, but it's nice to see AJ in the fray. David Otunga as the United States Champion is certainly different, and it's nice to see him on the rise. An attack from Antonio Cesaro didn't do him any favours though. Dolph Ziggler and Chris Jericho? There's a lot of stuff I've noticed that's incredibly close to WWE's approach lately, I've noticed it quite a bit. But anyway, an obvious victory for Dean Ambrose coming off the big victory over Mick Foley. Mick Foley should definitely come back and put the guy in his place. A great victory for Damien Sandow, hopefully you give him a push. Nice to see a Ryback/Mason Ryan feud that I attempted in a previous diary, although I never actually got around to it. Happy to see Mark Henry over Randy Orton, perhaps entering him into the running for another World Heavyweight Championship shot as well? Would be an interesting Triple Threat situation if it did. A nice edition of SmackDown.

WWE News: Sheamus / Randy Orton Update, Mick Foley News, Diva's Leaving, More...- Despite going over in the number one contender match at Over the Limit, there are no plans for Sheamus to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton at No Way Out. The current word out of the SmackDown writers room is that they want to hold off on a singles match between the two until Summerslam, which is why Mark Henry went over Orton during the SmackDown main event. Current plans call for another singles match between Sheamus and Mark Henry although there has been some talk of the three men facing off in a triple threat match. - In regards to the on-going Dean Ambrose / Mick Foley feud it would appear that it was actually Mick Foley’s decision for Ambrose to go over. Creative wanted to have Mick Foley go over to set up a rematch at No Way Out, but Mick pushed the idea of having Ambrose go over in order to continue his push, believing that having him lose his first pay per view match would damage his momentum. It is highly expected for the feud between the pair to continue through the No Way Out pay per view and possibly into Money in the Bank as well. - Both of the Bella’s contracts expire within the next few weeks, and the word backstage is that neither intends to sign a new contract to stay with World Wrestling Entertainment. What with their lack of screen time in recent months it appears that WWE have resigned themselves to losing the twins, and are phasing them out in order to focus on the Diva’s that they believe will lead the division in the upcoming year, such as Layla, Beth Phoenix, Eve and AJ. - In other Diva news Portia Perez has now reported to Florida Championship Wrestling, and made her first appearance for the promotion, defeating Sofia Cortez at this week’s Florida Championship Wrestling taping. Perez was introduced under the name Jennifer Perez, so it would appear that that is the ring name she will be using while under contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. - In more news from the FCW tapings, Kassius Ohno defeated Richie Steamboat to become the new FCW 15 Champion. Of course with the announcement of a new NXT that will consist of FCW talent, there is currently no news on whether Florida Championship Wrestling will continue to operate in the same manner.

MONDAY NIGHT RAWMay 28th 2012- Drew McIntyre Defeated Derrick Bateman - Jack Swagger Defeated Alex Riley
- Prior to the RAW opening package we get a recap from last week, showing the main event of CM Punk and Big Show descending into chaos before Christian made his shocking return, laying out CM Punk with the Unprettier and standing tall over the WWE Champion.
CUE OPENING VIDEO - As soon as RAW kicks off the music of Christian hits the speakers, the returning Captain Charisma hitting the ring to a big reaction from the crowd despite his attack on CM Punk last week. Christian begins speaking about how, several months ago, he made his big return to RAW and was all ready to compete at WrestleMania when he was injured once again by CM Punk. CM Punk left him on the shelf for a further two months, that he missed out on the biggest show of the year all because of CM Punk and that is why he attacked Punk last week, well, that and wanting to be the next WWE champion. He begins explaining that now he is back he is going to take that WWE Championship and make sure that CM Punk knows what it feels like to not be able to do what you love before being cut off by Daniel Bryan, who heads to the ring, screaming “No!” back at the crowd who shout “Yes!” at him. Daniel Bryan enters the ring, telling Christian that last week he stole his thunder but that he’s not going to let him do it again. Bryan says that he is going to be the next WWE Champion only for Christian to hit back with the fact that Bryan couldn’t get the job done the first time.
The two go back and forth before being cut off by the WWE Champion himself, CM Punk hitting the ring and immediately telling Christian that if he wants a shot at him he’s got one, because nobody attacks him and gets away with it. Daniel Bryan attempts to get involved but every time he says something Punk or Christian cut him off. The three men argue but are eventually cut off by John Laurinaitis who says that CM Punk has gotten a lot of enemies but that he’s not surprised because Punk is a horrible person. Laurinaitis announces that he tonight Christian and Daniel Bryan will team together to face off against CM Punk and… a partner of his choosing. Laurinaitis wishes Punk luck in finding a partner since everybody who would possibly team with him already has a match tonight. Punk stares down a smiling Laurinaitis while Daniel Bryan and Christian continue to argue as RAW cuts to commercials.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
- We return to RAW and to a reminder of the big main event that was just made – Christian and Daniel Bryan will team up to face off with WWE Champion CM Punk and a partner of Punk’s choosing.
- We head backstage where John Laurinaitis is shown walking through the halls when he spots a big crowd forming. He walks over and finds that the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus is there, signing autographs for fans. Laurinaitis breaks it up, demanding to know why Sheamus is here tonight saying that he didn’t clear it with him. Sheamus tells him that he is just here to enjoy the show and starts making some jokes at Laurinaitis’ expense, including calling him Frankenstein. Laurinaitis gets annoyed and tells Sheamus that if he wants to watch the show he can do it like everybody else who was too cheap to buy a ticket – at home! Laurinaitis walks off as we head back to ringside.
1.) Kane Defeated R-Truth. SmackDown’s R-Truth made a special appearance here tonight on RAW to face off against Kane, who has been feuding with Truth’s former tag team partner Kofi Kingston. These two put on a fantastic opening contest as Kane continues to prove he is one of the most consistent performers on the roster. R-Truth held his own against the big red machine but ended up falling to the chokeslam, giving Kane another victory.
- Despite winning the match Kane clearly isn’t finished as he grabs a groggy R-Truth and pulls him up, looking to deliver another chokeslam to the fan favourite. Suddenly Kofi Kingston makes the run in, attacking Kane from behind and saving his former partner. Kane and Kingston begin brawling, falling out of the ring and brawling the back, RAW cutting to commercials before anyone can stop them.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
- We return to RAW and to the backstage area where we see Kane and Kofi Kingston still brawling through the back, Kingston holding his own against the big red machine. Kane grabs Kofi around the neck, looking to chokeslam him onto the concrete floor just like he did two weeks ago, but Kingston fights back, hitting Kane repeatedly with a folded up chair before security and WWE officials rush in to break them up. John Laurinaitis appears, telling them that if they want to fight so badly then they can, at No Way Out! Kingston breaks free, knocking Kane to the floor before being pulled away again as RAW returns to ringside.
- We get a promotional video highlighting the in ring exploits of “The Million Dollar Prodigy” Ted DiBiase and “The Perfect One” Joe Hennig, before reminding us that the Perfect Sons will be returning to RAW… soon!
2.) Primo & Epico w/ Rosa Mendes Defeated Santino Marella & Yoshi Tatsu. The reigning WWE Tag Team Champions faced off with a bit of a thrown together team here, but it turned out that Santino and Yoshi were a very solid pairing both comedically and in the ring, pushing Primo & Epico to their limit. It required a distraction by Rosa to Santino as the Italian was setting up the Cobra for Epico to roll Santino up and get the pinfall.
- Following the match the Prime Time Players slide into the ring and while at first it looks like they’re about to attack Epico & Primo they end up going after Santino and Yoshi. The thrown together team manage to fight back before Epico & Primo jump them from behind, the four on two numbers game being very effective until The Uso’s make the save, running off the All World Promotions clients and sending them back up the ramp with their tails between their legs as RAW cuts away.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
- We return to RAW and head down to the announce table where Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler introduce us to some footage from last week’s post RAW aftermath, which can be watched in its entirety exclusively on WWE.COM. The clip shows Cody Rhodes being confronted by John Laurinaitis, who tells Rhodes that the people are tired of watching him get disqualified like he has done the past two weeks against Brodus Clay, and that this week on RAW they will face off again, and if Cody is disqualified he will be fired! That match… is next!
3. IF CODY RHODES GETS DISQUALIFIED, HE IS FIRED) Brodus Clay Defeated Cody Rhodes via Count Out. The fans were pumped for this one as clear fan favourite Brodus Clay got another shot at Cody Rhodes. This was another highly competitive match and gave Brodus a further opportunity to prove that he can go in the ring. Rhodes had the Cross-Rhodes all set up only for Brodus to power out, after that Rhodes decided that he had had enough and hightailed it out of the ring, ignoring the count and getting himself counted out much to Brodus’ frustration.
- We return backstage where World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus is shown preparing to leave the building, having been told to go by general manager John Laurinaitis earlier in the night. He is stopped by WWE Champion CM Punk, who asks Sheamus where he thinks he’s going. Sheamus tells him that Frankenstein told him to leave since he’s not on the RAW roster and Punk says that he gets to decide his partner for tonight, and asks Sheamus to be that partner. The crowd pop at the idea and the cheers only get louder when Sheamus agrees. WWE Champion CM Punk and World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus battle Christian and Daniel Bryan later tonight!
- We get a promotional video for WWE No Way Out, airing exclusively on pay per view on the 17th of June.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
- We return to RAW and to the entrance of the WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz, who continues to get a pretty split reaction from the WWE Universe. The Miz hits the ring and begins talking about the Big Show, saying that he carried Big Show during their time as tag team champions and that it wasn’t easy to carry someone that huge. Miz continues mocking the Big Show, the fans getting behind him the more he continues before being cut off by the music and entrance of the Big Show himself. Show tells The Miz to watch what he is saying if he doesn’t want to get knocked out again, but Miz hits back, telling Big Show that he couldn’t do a thing against him unless his back was turned. Miz says that he isn’t out there to mock Show, even though he makes it so easy being fat, bald, untalented… but he digresses, telling Show that he very simply wants to challenge the Big Show to a match at No Way Out so that he can kick he can shut Big Show up for good. Big Show seems to consider it before telling The Miz that he has better things to do and leaving the ring. The Miz and the fans watch stunned as Big show simply walks off as RAW cuts to commercials.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
- We get a promotional video reminding us that this Friday on SyFy, one hour before Friday Night SmackDown, a brand new season of NXT starts showcasing the very best in upcoming talent. Three hours of great WWE action exclusively every Friday night on SyFy!
4.) The Miz Defeated Lord Tensai w/ Jack Swagger
[/size][/b]. Well following his altercation with Big Show moments earlier The Miz ended up in this impromptu match facing off against Laurinaitis’ henchman. This was a tough one for The Miz because it was difficult enough fighting off Tensai but he also had to contend with Jack Swagger on the outside at the same time. Tensai threw his weight and power around but Miz fought him off with the quick wits that made him such an effective heel, and in the end he countered a running splash attempt, hit Swagger with a baseball slide and then dropped Tensai with a Skull Crushing Finale to get the victory. - As the bell ring The Miz gets to his feet but is quickly attacked by Jack Swagger. Swagger puts the boots in but The Miz manages to fight back. He goes for the Skull Crushing Finale on Swagger but the All American Sensation pushed him away right into a WMD from Big Show, who during the commotion made his way out and got onto the ring apron. Miz drops like a rock and Big Show enters the ring, Swagger looking pleased with the outcome, when suddenly Show knocked Swagger out with a WMD as well. Big Show is the last man standing as RAW cuts away. - We head backstage where Daniel Bryan and Christian are shown getting ready for their big main event tag team match later tonight. Christian asks Bryan what facing Sheamus is like, then tells him to forget it because he lost to him in eighteen seconds. This quickly ignites a huge argument that just descends into Daniel Bryan screaming “No!” and Christian mockingly saying “Yes!” over and over again until Daniel Bryan storms out of the locker room, leaving Christian to laugh. These two are certainly not on the same page as we head towards our main event. COMMERCIAL BREAK- We return to Monday Night RAW and to the locker room of Abraham Washington’s All World Promotions where AW is praising the teams of Epico & Primo and the Prime Time Players for working together. Washington says that now that they’re finally united they’ll dominate Monday Night RAW. Epico & Primo take offence to this, saying that they didn’t need any help out there, that they won the match on their own. This results in a huge argument that ends up with both tag teams storming out and Abraham Washington in the middle, shouting “guys” in both directions, All World Promotions still not on the same page. 5.) Kaitlyn Defeated Beth Phoenix. In Diva’s action here former Diva’s Champion Beth Phoenix looked to make an example out of the former NXT rookie but Kaitlyn gave as good as she got, showing off that she is just as powerful as any of the Diva’s here in the WWE. In the end Beth went for the Glam Slam but Kaitlyn managed a schoolboy rollup, pulling off a shocking victory. - Immediately following the sound of the bell Beth Phoenix attacks Kaitlyn, furious at the shock defeat. Beth beats Kaitlyn down and quickly drops her with a Glam Slam, standing tall over RAW as we cut away. - We head to a split screen view of our two teams for the main event. WWE Champion CM Punk and World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus seem to be on the same page while Daniel Bryan and Christian are still arguing. A huge and very interesting tag team main event is up next! COMMERCIAL BREAK6.) CM Punk & Sheamus[/color] Defeated Christian & Daniel Bryan. This was a massive tag team match as the WWE Champion and the World Heavyweight Champion teamed together for the very first time to face off against two men who both want the next shot at Punk’s WWE Championship. The match itself was highly entertaining with all four men putting on a great display. Sheamus and Bryan had some excellent back and forths especially with Sheamus taunting Bryan over the eighteen second loss at WrestleMania. In the end Christian left Daniel Bryan high and dry after constant bickering to receive the Brogue Kick, followed by the GTS, CM Punk pinning Bryan to get the victory. - Christian grins on the outside as CM Punk and Sheamus celebrate the victory in the ring, Captain Charisma having definitely got one up over Daniel Bryan after their arguing throughout the match. CM Punk ascends the turnbuckle, lifting the WWE Championship up but the celebration is short lived as John Laurinaitis comes out. He sarcastically congratulates CM Punk and Sheamus before telling CM Punk that he knows how CM Punk is a fighting champion, so it’s good he got a taster for No Way Out, because he will be defending the WWE Championship against Christian… and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match! Punk shakes his head, then lifts the title up high as he stares down Laurinaitis, clearly showing that he welcomes all comers. Christian nods his head on the ramp and signals that he is coming for the WWE Championship as RAW goes off the air.[/blockquote][/font]

WWE News: Daniel Bryan and Christian Updates, Tag Team Division, More…- With the WWE Championship match at No Way Out now firmly on the card there has been a lot of talk backstage over who will walk out as champion. While the most likely option is that CM Punk will continue his lengthy reign as champion until at least Summerslam there has been a lot of discussion over whether the proposed plans for Punk would work better without the title, therefore having him drop it in a match where he doesn’t need to be pinned would be the best scenario for them not to damage his momentum. Higher ups have been very impressed with Daniel Bryan in the past few months and there are more than a few who expect him to be the WWE Champion by the time Summerslam rolls around. - Along the same lines there are reportedly major plans for Christian in the forthcoming months. The feeling backstage is that ever since Edge’s retirement there has been nobody who they can market in quite the same way and the belief is that if anybody can hit that same level then it might be Christian. The big drawbacks to this however are his age (he is now 38) and the number of injuries he has picked up. If these two can be worked around then there is a hope that he could become a very solid main eventer over the next three to five years. - There are plans to continue the current Epico / Primo / Prime Time Players storyline across a number of months in the hope that it will be the first step in revitalising the tag team division. The belief is that the only way that the tag team division can be taken seriously is if the permanent tag teams, such as Epico & Prime, the Prime Time Players and The Uso’s are all involved heavily in angles and pushed as an important part of the show, hence why they have received so much screen time in the past few weeks. - With the announcement of the WWE Championship match and Kane vs. Kofi Kingston this week on RAW it is highly expected we will get a confirmed World Heavyweight Championship match added to the No Way Out card on SmackDown.
