Diva's Title and all but 2 divas are gone?


SEXIST!

I doubt it's even fans of the diva's complaining. It just seems like a cheap way out of not using them. Not a fan of reverting back to the 3 main ppv's a year system, as it'll never happen. But for a fantasy diary, sure. I'd have probably had Mysterio/Cara in the tag team turmoil instead of another random Rey/Miz IC title match. Looks fun though.

I'm not too big on the Rumble card, mainly because it seems like most of these matches could happen at any moment now in real life. Doesn't seem like much progression was made from now until January. And it's just a pet peeve of mine when people do away with the Diva's division. Not necessarily because I'm a fan of the Divas, but because I'd rather see someone try to make something out of the division rather than dissolving it completely. I do like Dolph as World Champion, and am looking forward to seeing how to book Punk vs. Rock. I'll be reading and replying to the Rumble. Good luck.

Alright, interested in seeing how you fair in your first PPV outing. Maybe not the strongest start to the show, but I do love the match up. Good victory for Cesaro. Curious to see where his reign goes as looking at the roster, there doesn't seem to be much competition for him. Oh wait, never mind. You're going for him and Ohno, aren't you? Primetime Players retaining the gold is fine as well. Saddened that by this point, Kane and Bryan haven't been champions. I assume you will be building towards a match with them at 'Mania? Wasn't expecting Mysterio to capture the Intercontinental Championship. Please don't let Miz fall back into irrelevance. Dean Ambrose's debut would've been a lot better if you didn't specify that it was Ambrose. Could've certainly held off the reveal. Glad that Dolph Ziggler retained the World Heavyweight Championship. I do like how the Sleeper Hold was built as a deadly maneuver, but maybe a bit too over the top with the amount of concern for Orton. Surprised the WWE Championship match didn't main event, especially with Lesnar's return. Seemed like something that you'd want to close the show, despite having the Royal Rumble match. If we're getting Rock/Lesnar at WrestleMania, I'm curious to see who Punk defends against. Lastly, a bit of a disappointment with the Royal Rumble write up. I get that this is the inaugural show for the diary, but it still could've used a bit more detail. Looking at the final four, it was painfully obvious that Jericho was winning. While you have been building Swagger, a win here wasn't likely. Sheamus wasn't winning two Rumbles in a row, and I question why Ohno is even in this late. Jericho winning is great, though. It's clear that you're going for him and Dolph at WrestleMania, which I look forward to. Overall, a decent PPV. Some decisions I didn't necessarily enjoy, but still decent.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I will do my best to view everyone else's shows and leave a reply. Also tg11, I'm not doing EC. I have restructured the ppv's to something I like more and feels different and fresh from the normal.

Raw opens with a video package recapping the events of Royal Rumble between CM Punk and The Rock, as well as Chris Jericho winning the Royal Rumble match.

The Monday Night Raw intro video follows and then the camera's open on the arena as the pyrotechnics blast off and the theme song for Raw plays. The camera's pan through the audience before cutting to Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole at the announce table. Cole welcomes everyone to the show and then says Raw is getting right down to business because Chris Jericho is about to make his way out to reveal which champion he will face at WrestleMania.

CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler stand in the ring with their championships as the lights go out and the crowd cheers loudly. A "Jericho" chant breaks out in the silence and then a countdown clock begins at 5 on the titantron. As it reaches 1, the pyro blasts off and we here the themesong of "Y2J" Chris Jericho. The camera's focus on Jericho in signtaure entrance pose and then he turns around shouts "Come on, Bab-AY!" much to the delight of the crowd. Jericho charismatically walks to the ring as only Chris Jericho can. He enters the ring and then asks for a microphone. Jericho starts off by saying that it's great to be back and then says it's time to get down to business. Jericho puts over CM Punk's run as WWE Champion, referring to it as a Hall of Fame like reign. He says CM Punk is one hell of a wrestler and that in 2012, CM Punk and himself had one hell of a rivalry. Jericho says he's not ashamed to admit that CM Punk was the better man in that rivalry and beat Jericho everytime when it counted. Jericho then talks for a minute about how when he left in 2012, he was just starting to catch fire and get on a winning streak until one man cost him his job. Jericho then turns to Dolph Ziggler and asks him "Miss me?" to which Ziggler answers "No, not really." Jericho laughs and then says he didn't think so. Jericho puts over Ziggler for being one of the brightest young stars in the WWE and congratulates him on being World Champion, but says to kiss that title good bye because come WrestleMania, there will be a new champion. Jericho officially announces his intent to face Ziggler at WrestleMania XXIX. Jericho says that Ziggler might be good, maybe even great, but he's no Chris Jericho. Jericho looks to Ziggler and then says after WrestleMania, Dolph Ziggler will never...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeever be World Champion, A-gain!

Jericho and Ziggler have a staredown as Jericho's music begins to play and Raw goes to a commercial break

Raw returns from the break with a recap of Jericho announcing to face Smackdown's Dolph Ziggler at WrestleMania for the World Championship and then we go to the ring for the first match of the night

1)Dean Ambrose defeated Sin Cara at 8:21 via Regal Stretch
Rey Mysterio's former tag team partner, Sin Cara look to avenge Mysterio after the vicious attack by Ambrose at Royal Rumble after Mysterio won the Intercontinental Title. Cara tried using his speed to get the upperhand on Ambrose but it ended up being his downfall. Cara missed a big top rope senton splash that was followed up by a running knee to the skull by Ambrose and then he locked in the Regal Stretch for the submission win.

Ambrose kept the hold locked on after the match for a few seconds before breaking it. Ambrose got a microphone and said anyone who decides to face him is signing up to get hurt. Ambrose says he a loose cannon and can't be held responsible for who gets hurt. Michael Cole wonders what the connection between Ambrose and William Regal is, since Ambrose was using moves made famous by Regal.

The camera's cut backstage where we see a limo pulling up and then Paul Heyman exits, followed by Brock Lesnar! Lawler puts over how Lesnar and Heyman had a hand in screwing The Rock out of the WWE Championship as we go to a break.

We return from the break with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar making their way to the ring to boos from the crowd. Heyman gets on the microphone after the crowd quiets down and says they wanted to come out before The Rock had a chance to, to address why Brock Lesnar returned last night and screwed The Rock out of the title. Heyman says that his client, Brock Lesnar does what he wants, when he feels like, and last night he felt like screwing The Rock out of the WWE Title because Team Heyman needs a champion like CM Punk to represent them. Heyman says Punk is a real champion much like Brock Lesnar, and he is another guy who does what he wants, when he wants. Heyman starts to speak but is then interrupted by the themesong of The Rock as the crowd explodes. The Rock walks out on stage as "Rocky" chants start up before he can talk. Rock calms them down and then asks Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman who the hell they think they are? Heyman begins to answer and then Rock stops him and says "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IN THE HELL YOU ARE!" and the crowd explodes again. Brock Lesnar shakes his head in anger and then takes the microphone from Heyman and tells Rock he know's exactly who Brock Lesnar is, he's the guy that defeated The Rock at SummerSlam and sent his ass packing to Hollywood. Rock fires back that he knows who Brock is, and he knows Brock beat him in 2002, he also knows that Brock took his ball and went home in 2004 because he didn't love this business. Rock says Brock was only ever in the WWE for the money and couldn't deal with the fame, and when it got too much he tucked his tail between his legs and he left. Rock said he may not be around as much anymore, but he never comes back for anything other than the people. Rock ends by asking Brock Lesnar one simple question..."Do you smell, what The Rock, is cookin?"

Rock's music blasts over the loud speakers as he stares down into the ring at Lesnar and Heyman. Heyman shouts "This isn't over, Rock" as Rock starts to walk to the back and a commercial break comes up.

The camera's come back as Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole talk about what an intense segment they just witnessed between Rock and Lesnar and then we go to the ring for the next match.

2)Seth Rollins defeated David Otunga at 10:04 via Avada Kedavra[/color]
A good back and forth match up in the beginning, but Otunga took control with a cheap shot. Otunga dominated Rollins for the second half of the match until Rollins got the crowd on his side and built momentum straight into a comeback that ended with Rollins nailing a sick curb stomp followed by his Avada Kedavra kick to a grounded Otunga for the win.

Rollins celebrated the win as the crowd cheered him on and then left ringside slapping hands with fans as camera's cut back to the interview area.

Scott Stanford was standing by with Dean Ambrose. He asked Ambrose why he viciously assaulted Rey Mysterio at Royal Rumble after his match. Ambrose explains that he just felt like it and tells Stanford that it's a lot scarier when there's no motive.

3)Prime Time Players defeated Epico & Primo at 13:46 via Ghetto Blaster[/color]
A solid tag team match that saw Epico nearly get the surprise win after a roll up on Young, however he was able to kick out. The match went on for another few minutes until Epico got the hot tag on Primo and looked to be on his way to getting the win, but AW got involved and distracted him which allowed Young to tag in O'Neil. Young and O'Neil attacked Primo from behind and nailed the Ghetto Blaster allowing O'Neil to pin Primo as Young knocked Epico off the apron.

The tag team champions celebrated their win as they headed for the back and we went to a commercial break

After returning from the break, we see The Rock walking to his car in the parking lot. He opens the door to be surprised by Paul Heyman sitting in the drivers seat. Heyman says "Hi, Rock" and then Rock is jumped from behind by Brock Lesnar. Rock fights back and looks to be getting the upperhand until Heyman kicks him low from behind and he drops to his knees. Brock grabs Rock by the face and says "You shouldn't have come back, Rocky" and then lifts Rock to his feet and slams his head through the window of his car! Rock falls backwards onto the parking lot floor, his face all bloody, as Heyman and Lesnar hurry off.

4)Jack Swagger w/ Ric Flair defeated Alex Riley at 12:17 via Ankle Lock
[/color]
The crowd was really behind Riley, despite not being on television much. Riley used the crowds support to keep the match going, even kicking out of Swagger's signature gutwrench powerbomb. Riley was able to nail his Sudden Death finisher on Swagger and thought he got the win, but failed to notice that Swagger's foot was on the ropes. Swagger quickly attacked Riley while he was talking to the ref and locked in the ankle lock. He grapevined the leg for more pressure and Riley had to tap.

Flair entered the ring and rasied Swagger's hand in victory as the crowd booed. Flair said Swagger is the future while holding his arm in the air.

CM Punk was shown walking towards the entrance to the arena with the WWE Championship as the show went to a break.

CM Punk's music kicked off following the break to a sea of boos. Punk mocked the crowd and told everyone he was the best in the world. He entered the ring and got a microphone. Punk started off by saying "AND STILL, YOUR WWE CHAMPION, CM PUNK!" to a bunch of boos. Punk said that no one thought he would beat The Rock, but here he stands still the champion. Punk says that he has had one of the longest WWE Championship reigns in a long, long time and he's beaten every challenger in the WWE. He said there is no one left on Raw that he can't beat, and deep down everyone knows it's true. He says he's going to be champion for so long, he will have to retire as champion. Punk starts to say something and is interrupted by the music of Raw General Manager, Steve Austin. Austin comes out to cheers and then says that Punk is right, he has beaten everyone on Raw that has challenged him and there isn't anyone left on the show that he hasn't beaten. Austin says that late last night, after the Royal Rumble, he personally asked Chris Jericho if he was going to choose to face Punk, or if Austin needed to find a replacement. Austin said Jericho informed him he would be facing Ziggler and that's when Austin's brain started ticking. He said he knew that as Raw General Manager, he has to have a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania, and that he has to book a match that the fans will want to see. Austin says that he looked at the Raw roster and noticed that Punk had beaten everyone on the roster. Austin said he went home, went to bed, and then got a very interesting phone call this morning from someone who hasn't been seen in the WWE in quite a few years, and has just become a free agent in the last week. Punk interrupts Austin and demands to know who Austin has in mind to be his next challenger. Austin says he was about to let Punk know, but since he interrupted him, he's not going to. Punk says as WWE Champion, he deserves to know, and then Austin says he will make CM Punk a deal, if he can win the next match, he will inform Punk of who it is. Punk says "Deal." and then we go to a break as Austin heads to the back to find Punk an opponent and the announcers wonder who Austin is talking about, and who Punk's opponent is about to be.

We return from the commercial break as Michael Cole says CM Punk's opponent is about to make his entrance for the main event. Kofi Kingston is revealed to be the opponent for Punk.

5)CM Punk defeated Kofi Kingston at 9:21 via Go To Sleep[/color]
A really good main event match. The crowd was hot for Kingston and were cheering him on against the WWE Champion. Kingston used a flurry of fast paced and high flying moves to keep CM Punk at bay. Kingston went for his Trouble in Paradise finisher, but it was evaded by Punk, who went for the GTS, that was countered into a roll up by Kingston that nearly won him the match. Kingston quickly got to his feet and went for a spring board cross body but was caught in midair on Punk's shoulders and then laid out with the GTS to give Punk the win.

CM Punk stood in the ring, with the WWE Championship over his shoulder as Austin came back out on the stage. He said as promised, he will reveal Punk's next challenger, but he will let him introduce himself, because he just arrived at the arena.

After a brief minute of silence and anticipation.....

"No More Word's" by Endeverafter blasts over the loud speakers and the crowd goes wild as Jeff Hardy makes his return to the WWE. Hardy does his signature entrance and the thunderous crowd cheers on loudly.

Punk stands in the ring, looking shocked that Jeff Hardy has returned to the WWE. Raw comes to an end with Michael Cole freaking out that Jeff Hardy has returned to Monday Night Raw to be CM Punk's next challenger. The final image of Raw is a staredown between Jeff Hardy and CM Punk in the ring, face to face with Michael Cole exclaiming "Jeff Hardy is back, the Charismatic Enigma has returned!"
