-Episode #995
-June 18th, 2012
-Live, From Uniondale, NY*We open up RAW with a recap of No Way Out's Main Event, showing Brodus Clay leading a charge of WWE Superstars who helped John Cena escape the steel cage before the Big Show. We then see Mr. McMahon firing Big Johnny, followed by Cena giving Big Johnny a big AA through the Spanish (what else did you expect?) Announcers Table.* *We cut to Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. Cole says they have no idea who will be running RAW tonight now that Big Johnny has been fired. On cue, Mr. McMahon's theme hits to a nice pop.* *Vince struts down to the ring like only he can, grabbing a mic conveniently placed on the top of the ring steps, then gets in the ring.* Vince: First of all, if there was ever any question about who was going to be running RAW tonight, there shouldn't have been. HOWEVER. Tonight, before RAW goes off the air, you WILL know who the next permanent General Manager of Monday Night RAW will be. Now that John Laurinaitis is gone, I'm going to show you all the TRUE meaning of People Power! Tonight, we're going to have not one, not two, but THREE Main Events. First, we're going to have Daniel Bryan taking on Kane, with the winner facing CM Punk for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank. Our second Main Event will see the World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus take on Dolph Ziggler in a rematch from No Way Out! And last, but not least, we're going to see the Big Show taking on the Funkasaurus, Brodus Clay! But before that, lets get this show underway with a qualifying match for RAW's Money in the Bank match! *WOO WOO WOO, YOU KNOW IT!* *The Long Island crowd lets out a loud roar as Zack Ryder comes down to the ring. He slides into the ring before standing next to Mr. McMahon as they both fist pump for the pose as the fans chant along. Ryder's opponent, his former partner Curt Hawkins is out next to a near-silent reaction.* Zack Ryder Defeated Curt Hawkins with the Rough Ryder to Qualify for RAW's Money in the Bank MatchRelatively quick match here, as we didn't even see a commercial break during this one. Ryder dominated for most of the match, except a portion of the mid-match, which saw Hawkins keep Ryder grounded with a headlock and some boots to the gut. Ryder gained steam and fought back, hitting the Broski Boot in the corner and following it up with a big Rough Ryder in front of his hometown crowd to earn RAW's first spot in the eight man Money in the Bank match. *Before we cut to the commercial break, we see Daniel Bryan walking backstage. His number one contenders match with Kane is NEXT!* *Commercial Break* Daniel Bryan Defeated Kane by Count Out to become the #1 Contender to the WWE ChampionshipKane took control of the match in the early going, beating down on Bryan and over powering him. The crowd was 70/30 for Bryan and kept chanting "YES" at every offensive move he pulled off successfully. Bryan fought back with a few forearms but Kane tried for Chokeslam, which Bryan nearly countered into the Yes Lock. Bryan wasn't strong enough to pull Kane down to the mat, which allowed Kane to fight out and grabbed Bryan's throat again, but quickly loosened his grip when AJ appeared at the top of the ramp. AJ started running down to the ring, but fell and seemed to hurt her ankle on the way down the ramp. Kane let Bryan go and quickly ran to the outside to check on AJ, all while the referee was counting. AJ noticed at a count of nine and told Kane to run to the ring, but Kane was too late and Bryan was victorious. Bryan slid out of the ring and celebrated like it was the biggest victory of his career as Kane carried AJ to the back. We cut to a replay as Lawler and Cole are shocked that AJ was caught smiling again, as Kane turned his back and ran back to the ring but was too late and couldn't beat the ten count. Kane disappears with AJ to the back as Bryan throws his arms up screaming "YES!" as he walks up the ramp. He soon comes face to face with the WWE Champion CM Punk, who raises his title high above his head as he stares down Bryan. These two will meet one on one once again. *We see a graphic advertising Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler and Brodus Clay vs. the Big Show still to come for later on in the show.* *We cut to a locker room door with the RAW 1000th Episode sign on it. That's up NEXT!* *Commercial Break* *We see a RAW 1000 moment, with Edge talking about his debut on RAW* *We come back to RAW to see Heath Slater in the ring. Slater says last week wasn't his time. He says despite how vicious the Vader Bomb was, he still has the prettiest face on RAW. Slater says the ladies go crazy for him every week on RAW but is interrupted by "HELLLLLLOOOOOOOO LADIESSSSSSSSS" as Val Venis walks out onto the top of the stage and Slater is shocked to see the former Intercontinental Champion back on RAW. Val walks down to the ring and the bell rings to the sound of "VENIS" chants (which sound a bit awkward.)* Val Venis Defeated Heath Slater in a RAW 1000th Episdoe Flashback MatchVal got the win here as you would've expected. Slater got in a tiny bit of offense but Val fought back and hit a scoop slam, followed by the Money Shot for the 1, 2, 3. Val soaked in a decent reaction from the fans as we cut to the back. *We see a recap of Triple H's challenge to Brock Lesnar at No Way Out for a match at SummerSlam.* *We cut backstage to see Mr. McMahon in his office. In walks Paul Heyman. Heyman says he's here to deliver legal papers. Heyman tells Vince that he will make a statement with Brock Lesnar's lawyers on Lesnar's behalf, next week on RAW. McMahon says he hates lawyers and doesn't want anything to do with them. Heyman says unofficially, it will be in the McMahon family's best interest if Triple H apologizes to Brock Lesnar and retracts his challenge for SummerSlam. Vince says the McMahon family only knows how to make money and fight, and Triple H will never back down. He tells Heyman that quite frankly, he believes Triple H is going to kick Brock Lesnar's ass at SummerSlam. Heyman smirks, says he will see Vince next week, and leaves.* *We cut to see the Big Show walking. His match with Brodus Clay is NEXT!* *Commercial Break* Brodus Clay Defeated the Big Show by Disqualification after interference from David OtungaThis one really didn't get going at all. Show and Brodus exchanged some stiff right hands before Brodus went nuts and backed Show into the corner with a barrage of rights and lefts. Brodus was gaining momentum before Otunga ran out and attacked Brodus and this turned into a two on one Handicap match. After a short beatdown on Brodus Clay, John Cena hit the ring and helped Brodus fight off Show and Otunga. *A graphic airs for Sheamus versus Dolph Ziggler still to come tonight.* *Commercial Break* *An advertisement for Money in the Bank plays, advertising the two Money in the Bank matches.* Kofi Kingston Defeated JTG with Trouble in Paradise to Qualify for RAW's Money in the Bank MatchThis one was quick, as Kofi controlled most of the match. JTG got in a couple of rest holds and scoop slam to keep Kofi ground, but eventually Kofi would fight back and hit the Trouble in Paradise for the win, earning the second spot in RAW's Money in the Bank match. *Commercial Break* Santino Marella and Christian Defeated Ricardo Rodriguez and Cody Rhodes when Santino pinned Ricardo with the CobraSantino and Ricardo started things off but Ricardo quickly tagged in Cody. Cody pretty much fought the entire match by himself until he hit the ropes and Ricardo tagged himself in later in the match. Ricardo thought he could attack Santino from behind but it backfired and he fell victim to the Cobra in a relatively short match as Christian and Cody went at it on the outside. Santino and Christian celebrated their win after the match. *We see Dolph Ziggler in the locker room with Vickie Guerrero and Jack Swagger. Dolph says he should be a two time World Champion right now. He gets mad and tells Vickie she can't teach him anything because she never wrestled. He says her husband was one of the greatest performers ever but she's only had a handful of matches. Dolph tells her he wants to face Sheamus alone tonight but Vickie says she'll be at ringside and will bring Jack Swagger too. Dolph says he doesn't need any help and leaves abruptly as Vickie and Jack shake their heads.* *Commercial Break* *We see a RAW 1000 moment, with Santino talking about the night he debuted to beat Umaga for the Intercontinental Title in Italy.* World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus Defeated Dolph Ziggler in a Non-Title No Way Out Rematch after Botched Interference from Jack Swagger and Vickie GuerreroThis was an excellent match until the interference tainted finish. Vickie and Swagger made their entrance to the dismay of Ziggler during the middle of the match. A ton of near falls towards the end of this one, with Ziggler nearly getting the win several times. Sheamus fought back and hit White Noise, then assumed the position as he slammed his chest, getting ready to deliver a huge Brogue Kick. Sheamus went for the Brogue Kick but Ziggler actually slid under it and Sheamus ended up taking out the referee. Sheamus turned around and walked into a huge superkick from Ziggler and Ziggler made the cover. A referee came running down to make the count but Sheamus kicked out at two and three quarters. The new referee checked on the referee who ate the Brogue Kick from Sheamus as Sheamus stumbled to his feet and Swagger jumped on the apron, distracting Sheamus, but ate a huge Brogue Kick for his troubles. The referee called for help as he checked on the unconscious referee and Vickie was next to get on the apron as she grabbed one of her heels and swung it at Sheamus, but Sheamus ducked and Vickie clocked Ziggler. Ziggler stumbled back into a Brogue Kick and Sheamus got the referees attention to count the three. Everything just went south for Ziggler as soon as Vickie and Swagger got involved. Paramedics come down to help the unconscious referee as Ziggler screamed at Vickie and left the ringside area by himself.* *We cut to the back to see Mr. McMahon, walking in the back. He will announce the new permanent General Manager of Monday Night RAW, NEXT!* *An advertisement for Money in the Bank plays, advertising the two Money in the Bank matches.* *Commercial Break* *An advertisement for next week's RAW, teasing Lesnar's answer to Triple H's SummerSlam challenge.* *We come back to RAW and Vince's theme quickly hits. He walks down to the ring, microphone in hand, but before he's even able to speak, John Laurinaitis's theme hits, to Vince's surprise. Big Johnny hobbles down to the ring on his one crutch with a neck brace on and bandages around his waist and back. Laurinaitis gets into the ring.* Laurinaitis: I know this must be a present surprise for all of you to see me here tonight. I must say even I didn't expect to be on RAW tonight, but I just got off the phone with the WWE Board of Directors, who have reassured me that my contract as WWE talent is still completely valid. With that being said, Mr. McMahon, I think you need to do the right thing and give me my job back. McMahon: Is that so...Laurinaitis: Listen, Mr. McMahon, to fire me because of the actions of the Big Show, whom I had no influence or control over, is very unfair. McMahon: Life... isn't fair. Laurinaitis: I'm aware of that, but to then allow Brodus Clay and Kofi Kingston to get involved, that's not a fair fight. If I'm going to lose my job Mr. McMahon, let it be through a fair challenge. Or at least let me be directly responsible for my termination, not the Big Show. Not to mention that John Cena put his hands on me, and I have the right to sue if I choose to do so, and I..McMahon: SSSSSSHUT UP! I'm starting to get very...VERY... annoyed with you, John. However, It's becoming clear to me that you'll do anything to keep your job as the General Manager of Monday Night RAW. As a matter of fact, since you said you wanted a FAIR chance to keep your job, AND you said you wanted a part in it yourself, I have an idea. Since your contract as a WWE Talent remains intact, Mr. Laurinaitis, you will be competing. Laurinaitis: What? Mr. McMahon, please, I'm clearly in no condition to compete tonight! McMahon: No, you won't be competing tonight. You'll be competing in four weeks time at Money in the Bank. As a matter of fact, if you win your match at Money in the Bank, you can have your job back, if not, then the new General Manager can decide on what he wants to do with you. At Money in the Bank, you'll be teaming up with the Big Show! And your opponents....will be John Cena...anddddd MEEEE! Oh... and by the way... allow me to introduce the new General Manager of both RAW and Smackdown... Theodore Long! *Teddy Long makes his way out onto the stage and dances as Laurinaitis is shocked. Vince drops the microphone and kicks out Big Johnny's crutch. Vince smirks as he walks up the ramp and looks back at Johnny as Teddy dances as RAW goes off the air.* |

--Creative High on Dolph Ziggler, Money in the Bank Plans, Chris Jericho, Laurinaitis and More.-- Despite being fired by Mr. McMahon, current creative plans have John Laurinaitis sticking around on TV for the foreseeable future. It is unknown whether plans have Laurinaitis getting his job back as the General Manager of RAW and Smackdown. --Creative is looking into a stipulation for the CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan match at Money in the Bank. Current plans call for Money in the Bank to be the final match between these two and for CM Punk to move on to a new feud at SummerSlam. --Dolph Ziggler has been receiving rave reviews for his recent work from many backstage. However, current plans call for a slow build for Ziggler's rise to Main Event status. He is viewed by many backstage as one of the top in-ring talents and someone who has incredibly high potential if booked right. --Though Chris Jericho's WWE Suspension is nearly up, current creative plans call for Jericho to be kept off WWE Television for several more weeks. --The plans for both Money in the Bank matches have reportedly been very hectic. The winner has reportedly been switched several times with creative reportedly indecisive on the actual competitors in both matches. |

WWE RAW Supershow: Monday 18th June 2012...Alright, I'm interested in how this goes. Vince McMahon opening up the show was a good call, not a lot to add there. It didn't do a great deal, but it was simplistic and set up the night very well; big line-up announced. Zack Ryder beating Curt Hawkins; nice cross-over of talent, but this seemed like a weak opening contest to RAW in my mind. I'd have switched this for Daniel Bryan facing Kane over contention to the WWE Championship. Ryder in the Money in the Bank ladder match is the right call though. Daniel Bryan and Kane was in an odd position on the card in my mind. I liked AJ costing Kane the match, I'm interested in how you book the angle. Bryan facing Punk again sounds great; add a stipulation though. They already did the singles match schtick at Over the Limit, we need something fresh. Up next, I like Heath Slater getting air-time, he's entertaining to watch in my mind. Val Venis? Meh, sounds like the fans wouldn't enjoy seeing him too much. Venis beating Slater is fine. Slater's practically the Venis of this generation anyway. Brodus Clay beating the Big Show sounded decent, I liked the interference from David Otunga; finally an angle for Clay! Kofi Kingston beating JTG was far too obvious. We need more competitive Money in the Bank qualifying matches, really. Santino Marella and Christian beating Ricardo Rodriguez and Cody Rhodes; the ship has sailed on Rhodes' challenging for the WWE Intercontinental Championship honestly, he needs to go onto better things at long last. I liked Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus getting the main event spot as far as matches go. Jack Swagger and Vickie Guerrero with botched interference? Very nice, hopefully a sign of things to come for Ziggler to go solo. I see another match between Sheamus and Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank. John Laurinaitis' promo with Mr McMahon was pretty entertaining, interesting idea for Money in the Bank with a tag team match. I could easily see Mr McMahon turning heel on John Cena at Money in the Bank though. Overall, a solid starter show with a perfect base to work off of headed for the future. I think there were a few issues in terms of booking that need fixing up for the future, but very nice, I hope to see a lot more.

I wasn't pleased to see Ryder win, but I can get it, it's just that I hate Ryder, lol. Awesome to see Bryan and Punk having another match together. I always thought that Kane being involved on this wasn't the right move. Venis was a great surprise, didn't see that one coming. Can't wait to see where you go with Lesnar now. Clay vs Show would be a good, entertaining match. Perhaps have them face off again in a No DQ match? JTG would've been a good addition to the MITB match, but Kingston can also do well, I guess. Hopefully Cody gets a push. Great to see Sheamus/Dolph being the last match. I feel like it gives the title the credit it deserves. Teddy being GM didn't shock me at all, I'd say I was expecting someone else, since I feel Laurinaitis will find his way back to his job anyways, but still, let's see what you have in store for that.

RAW Supershow: Nice to see Vince open up the show. Liking where the build for this angle is going. Ryder winning is okay. Not really a big fan of him though lol. Yay for Bryan winning. Hopefully Punk will retain at MITB though. Hell yeah! Val Venis! I can see Big Show and Otunga being a decent team in the future. Nice to see Kofi qualify for MITB! I like how you had the botched interference cause Ziggler the match. Makes things interesting. Hopefully Ziggler ditches them. Teddy Long as GM? Nice. I like where you're going with the whole Laurintitis angle as well. I'll be reading!

A solid opening segment with Vince McMahon laying out the plans for tonight's show. Looks like a good one. Ryder and Hawkins, while probably a fantastic match, would be lackluster opening for RAW. Nonetheless, a good victory for Ryder to gain entry into the Money In The Bank match. Not expecting him to win, but I would like to see you eventually re-build him as I felt he was great during the time where he had relevance. Not liking the placement of the Bryan/Kane match. Would've made for a better opener. Loved the finish with AJ's fall leading to the countout. This is the best storyline I've seen in quite some time, so I'm looking forward to seeing how you handle it. Punk and Bryan at Money In The Bank sounds great. Hoping to see a new champion in Bryan. Val Venis is fine as the opponent for Heath Slater. Interested in seeing who else you bring along from now until RAW 1000. A fine first hour closer with Big Show and Brodus Clay. Liked Otunga's interference, though I wasn't really keen on Cena fending off Show and Otunga on his own. Obvious victory for Kofi Kingston to go into Money In The Bank. While Cody and Christian have the ability to consistently put on great matches, I hope the feud doesn't go on too much longer. I'd imagine both will be in the SmackDown Money In The Bank match. A decent victory for Christian and Santino. I've grown very tired of Santino as the United States Champion, so I'd hope to see the title change hands soon. A fine No Way Out rematch with Sheamus and Ziggler. Looks like Dolph will be going on his own, which I've been hoping for for quite some time. Would rather not see this lead to a feud with Swagger, though I understand if you go with that route. Quite the tag team match for Money In The Bank. This is going to main event over the WWE Championship, isn't it? A solid starter show. Some flaws, but you still managed to make what was a rather dull episode of RAW into a solid one. Will be reading.

 -June 22nd, 2012
-Live, From Baltimore, Maryland*We open up Smackdown with a huge display of pyros. A short discussion between Booker T and Michael Cole over RAW's events with Mr. McMahon and John Laurinaitis is interrupted by Daniel Bryan's theme as the #1 contender for the WWE Championship jumps down to the ring, thrusting his arms into the air, letting out his now infamous yells of "YES!"* Daniel Bryan: Last year, around this time, CM Punk told the WWE Universe that he was leaving. CM Punk's time in the WWE was coming to an end. And that's ironic because, here we are, a year later, and we're at the same point. There's no denying that CM Punk is a fighting champion, but CM Punk hasn't defeated me one-on-one. Every time we've stepped into the ring, something has tainted the outcome. Every time we've went toe-to-toe, CM Punk has slipped by, some way or another, but this time's going to be different. At Money in the Bank, CM Punk..*To Bryan's suprise, CM Punk's theme hits! The WWE Champion is on Smackdown tonight! Punk smirks as he walks down to the ring, pipe bomb in hand. Half way down the ramp, the music cuts.* CM Punk: Daniel. I thought you were better than this. The old "i'll get him this time cliche? Me and you, we've known each other for a long time. Let's not beat around the bush. You've beaten me before. Just not in the WWE. But the funny thing is, you've never pinned my shoulders to the mat in a Championship match. As a matter of fact, I can't remember you ever pinning anyone's shoulders to the mat in a Championship match. You cashed in the Money in the Bank on a worn down Big Show, and then lost to Sheamus in 18 seconds at WrestleMania. The fact of the matter is, Daniel...I'm in your head. You're a choke artist. WrestleMania, eighty-thousand screaming fans...and you didn't even land a single punch. You didn't even last a minute. Daniel Bryan: You know, Punk, maybe we don't know each other as well as I thought we did. Because, you should know, I don't give in to mind games. I do my talking in the ring. So quit trying to detonate another pipe bomb, and instead of running your mouth, lets not wait for Money in the Bank. Lets fight right now. Lets see if I really am a choke artist, Mr. Pipe Bomb. *Teddy Long's music hits, as Bryan and Punk look on. Teddy walks onto the stage with a microphone.* Teddy: Now hold on a minute, playas. Unfortunately I can't move the WWE Championship Match from Money in the Bank, as the contract is already signed. However! BOTH of you will be in action tonight. CM Punk, you'll be taking on Kane! and Daniel Bryan... you'll be going one-on-one...with the World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus! And that match, is NEXT! *Bryan is not happy as Punk looks and smirks. Just then, the music of the World Heavyweight Champion hits.* *Commercial Break* Sheamus Defeated Daniel Bryan by Disqualification after interference from Alberto Del Rio We came back from commercial break to see the match already underway. A couple of good back and forth exchanges of forearms from both men and Sheamus began to gain the advantage. Sheamus set up Bryan on the top turnbuckle but Bryan kicked Sheamus off and hit a missile dropkick. Bryan got up and launched at Sheamus in the corner, but Sheamus moved and Bryan slammed into the turnbuckle. Sheamus went for a Brogue Kick but Bryan ducked it and tried to bring Sheamus down to the mat for the Yes Lock when Sheamus turned around. Bryan wasn't strong enough and Sheamus fought it off. Sheamus hit White Noise and was ready for the Brogue Kick. Sheamus hit the Brogue Kick but couldn't make the cover as Alberto Del Rio hit Sheamus from behind. Del Rio took off the belt from his pants and started whipping Sheamus in the back with it. Del Rio locked in the Cross Armbreaker as referees ran out shortly after to force Del Rio off of Sheamus. Del Rio told Ricardo to get him a microphone and Ricardo scurried over to grab one from a ringside worker. Del Rio says he wants his rightful title shot at Money in the Bank and hits Sheamus in the head with the microphone as he tries to stumble up to his feet. Del Rio grinned and motioned for the belt around his waist as we faded to a commercial break, but not before Cole and Booker reminded us that CM Punk and Kane was still to come later on. *Commercial Break* *An advertisement plays, promoting John Cena and Vince McMahon vs. John Laurinaitis and the Big Show at Money in the Bank.* The Primetime Players (w/AW) Defeated Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel This was a short match, but pairing the Primetime Players up with Kidd and Gabriel was a good way for them to be carried in the match, as both still need work. Kidd and Gabriel hit a cool spot of a double dive to the outside early on. O'Neil recoverd and tagged in Young, who then hit Gabriel off the apron as O'Neil set Kidd up on his knee and Young hit the elbow drop for the three. AW gloated after the match, yelling and bragging while raising his teams arms in victory. *Teddy Long is in his dressing room and Antonio Cesaro walks in with Aksana. Cesaro says he hopes there are no hard feelings and that he was doing what Mr. Laurinaitis was telling him to do. Teddy said he's not a biased General Manager and he's putting Cesaro in a Money in the Bank qualifier tonight, and it's next.* *Commercial Break* *A RAW 1000 advertisement plays* Antonio Cesaro (w/Aksana) Defeated Ezekial Jackson with the Gotch Style Neutralizer to Qualify for Smackdown's Money in the Bank MatchThe rumors of Jackson's positive steroid test just might be true after seeing this one. Pretty much a complete one-sided destruction in favor of Cesaro. Cesaro dismantled Jackson and put him away with the Gotch Style Neutralizer to the delight of Aksana, earning the first spot in Smackdown's Money in the Bank match. *We see a RAW Recap, showing the events between Mr. McMahon and John Laurinaitis* *We see a graphic that reveals Christian vs. Dolph Ziggler is up, NEXT!* *Commercials* Intercontinental Champion Christian Defeated Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) after botched interference from VickieVery good match between these two. Back and forth from the very beginning. Dolph took control late but found himself in trouble. Christian went for the Killswitch but Dolph ran forward and pushed Christian into the corner, sandwiching the ref as well. While the referee recovered, Vickie slid the Intercontinetal belt into the ring. Dolph tried to hit the Zig Zag but Christian held the ropes and Dolph slammed the back of his head on the title. Christian slid the title out of the ring and picked up Ziggler, hitting the Killswitch for the win. Vickie's face was bright red as Christian celebrated and the loopy Ziggler recovered. Ziggler was irate and starting screaming at Vickie before walking to the back, holding his head as she quickly walked after him. *Commercial Break* Money in the Bank Qualifier: Sin Cara Defeated Hunico with a Tilt-A-Whirl HeadscissorsThese two know how to work very well together, and they proved it again here tonight. Solid match with a good pace to it. A lot of chain moves, but that's nothing new for these two. Sin Cara one with the Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors to earn the second spot in Smackdown's Money in the Bank match. *We see a shot of Ryback up on the screen. He's up NEXT!* *Commercials* Ryback Defeated Wallace Wright and Tucker Washington with Shell ShockedAs you would expect, these guys lasted about a minute until Ryback put them both away with Shell Shocked. He screamed "FEED ME THREE" ten times before slamming his arms up and down ten more times and walking to the back. *CM Punk is shown walking through the back. He goes one-on-one with Kane, NEXT!* *Commercial Break* Kane Defeated WWE Champion CM Punk with a Chokeslam after distraction from Daniel Bryan and AJBryan made his way down to the ring shortly after the bell rang, and stood watching on. Kane took control early on but Punk fought back. Kane silenced a quick Punk comeback with a well timed uppercut catching a flying Punk in mid-air. Kane hit a big sidewalk slam and looked in control. Kane hit a Chokeslam but Punk got his foot on the bottom rope before the three count and Kane got to his feet and motioned for another Chokeslam. Punk got up and countered, then hoisted Kane onto his shoulders for the GTS. Bryan got up on the apron to distract Punk and AJ came running down to the ring. AJ grabbed Bryan's foot and he instinctively kicked AJ. Bryan looked back to see who he kicked and was in disbelief to see he kicked AJ. Punk was in a rage and went after Bryan, nailing him off the apron. Punk turned around and ate a Chokeslam for his troubles and fell victim to the three count. After the match Kane immediately walked over to AJ and checked on her. He picked up Bryan and gave Bryan a chokeslam on the floor in anger. Kane carried AJ to the back again and this time there was no smile from AJ, as she looked to be hurt from the kick from Bryan. Smackdown went off the air as Punk recovered in the ring, shaking his head, as Kane walked AJ to the top of the ramp and to the back. |

A decent promo by Punk and Bryan. I thought Punk might have cut into the segment too quickly, but their interactions were rather basic and to the point. Figured the outcome between Sheamus/Bryan was going to take place. At least Bryan didn't get jobbed out to him, nor should he since he has Punk at the PPV. I really hope you decide to push Tyson Kidd at some point. Not big on the Primetime Players. Cesaro in the MITB match is an automatic win. Christian/Ziggler would be a good match to have here. Solid win for Christian. Cara in the MITB is no surprise, he needs to wrestle people other than Hunico, though. Ryback squash is mandatory. A good main event to close the show. I'm liking that you have Kane seemingly care for AJ. That could be an interesting couple in this. Overall, a fine episode with the undercard needing some feuds to get more interest. Your main event stuff is good, though.

Good opening promo between Punk and Bryan. Love their connection with each other, it's easy to fuse them against each other. I like Alberto Del Rio attacking Sheamus, and I think it's quite obvious that match will happen. I don't really like the Primetime Players. Not really at all, honestly. I hope you can do something with them to make me like them. Fine with Antonio Cesaro getting in the Money in the Bank. Shall be interesting to see what he does in it. I like the idea of a match between Ziggler and Christian, and quite a nice win for Christian. Would love to see Ziggler move up a bit in the ranks again rather soon though. Cara getting into the Money in the Bank is just fine. Just no injuries please. Uh huh. Ryback squash. Cool. Big win for Kane here Huh... The Big Red Love Machine!? Haha. Solid show.
