- Tonight on Raw, Mr. McMahon will make a very special appearance to give the WWE's resident evil mastermind a performance evaluation after his actions at the Royal Rumble last night during the WWE Championship Match. Things are looking bad for the former owner of ECW as not only did he assault The Rock during his match with CM Punk, but all fingers are pointing towards him and Punk as the men behind The Shield following their involvement in last night's Main Event. Will Paul Heyman still have a job come Tuesday? And not only will we see this evalutation, but the new WWE Champion, The Rock will be live on Raw to celebrate his first WWE Championship win in over ten years! Tune into Raw, tonight at 7/8CT, only on the USA Network!

Monday Night Raw - January 28th, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada Before the show begins, we see a video package showing what went down in the Main Event between the then-WWE Champion, CM Punk and The Rock. It showed the main clips and the moment that what we believe to be The Shield attacked The Great One and led to CM Punk defeating him and retaining his title. However, Mr. McMahon would come to ringside and restart the match, and this time, The Rock defeated CM Punk, ending his 434 day reign and becoming the WWE Champion for the first time in over the years! The scene then fades to a close.
We slowly fade in to a jam-packed arena, ready for Monday Night Raw. The WWE Universe erupt as the first thing we hear is the theme of the new WWE Champion - The Rock! The Great One makes his way onto the stage to a huge ovation from the crowd with his WWE Championship proudly hung on his right shoulder. He stormed down the ramp and climbed into the ring, the WWE Universe chanting in unison-- "Rocky! Rocky!" as his theme fades away.
Rock smiles as the fans continue to chant his name, and the first thing he says is "Finally... The Rock has come back... to Las Vegas!" to a huge eruption. But he isn't finished, as he adds "... as the new WWE Champion!" which gets an even louder reaction. The Rock says that for over ten years he has watched the WWE pass him by and not one day passed that he didn't get the itch to come back and once again become the WWE Champion. "But it was CM Punk that gave The Rock the motivation he needed to come back and take this title" Rocky said. "Because there's nothing more motivating about kicking the candyass of a cookiepuss crackhead like CM Punk". The crowd erupts as Rocky continues. He says that the feeling he got when he knew he had finally won the WWE Championship was a feeling he will cherish forever, "And tonight, here in Las Vegas, we're going to celebrate it together". But before the party could commence, the voice of the former WWE Champion, CM Punk is heard, and he is not too happy.
Punk walks out onto the stage, followed by Paul Heyman and is shouting down the microphone. "Who do you think you are?! Everyone in this building knows that I am the WWE Champion and that you and Vince McMahon robbed me of that belt!". Punk continues to storm to the ring, Heyman looking equally as annoyed. Punk screams "For months now, I've have a conspiracy pinned on me that I am working with The Shield, that I am the leader of The Shield, but it is you that the conspiracy should be against! You and that idiot, Vince McMahon, conspiring against me!". The crowd boo as The Rock looks dead into CM Punk's eyes. The Rock says that whining and complaining won't do CM Punk any favours, because he knew the rules. "But The Rock isn't going to deny that you gave him the fight of his life last night" the WWE Champion explained, but CM Punk was having none of it. By this time, Punk was in the ring, standing across from his rival. Punk said he didn't want The Rock's praise, he didn't wants his respect, all he wants, is the WWE Championship that is rightfully his. "And if you don't give me back my title, McMahon knows what I'm capable of... I'm capable of bringing this company to its knees, and I will do that if I don't get some justice". The Rock raises his eyebrow and says it's funny that CM Punk speaks of "justice", because that's exactly what The Shield claim to be about. Punk cuts Rock off, telling him he's heard enough about The Shield. He gets in Rock's face and tells him he wants a rematch, and he wants it now. The crowd actually cheer for this, but before anything more can happen, the man who made the difference last night, Mr. McMahon comes out onto the stage.
Mr. McMahon speaks, saying "CM Punk, I hoped you would've learned your lesson by now, but it seems as if you're still going about it the wrong way. Whether you are involved with The Shield or not, they still interfered in your match, and therefore you would have been stripped of your Championship anyway". Punk tilts his head, still angry. "You talk about respect, but it is you that needs to show it, Punk. But let's not start this night like this, we're in Las Vegas!". The cheap pop succeeds as McMahon goes on to say "It's Raw Roulette, and tonight, Paul Heyman, you may be right outta luck, because I will conduct your performance evaluation - tonight!". Heyman begins to look worried as the crowd erupt. The Rock walks around CM Punk, the two locking eyes for what seemed like an eternity. McMahon's theme played as The Rock left the ring and we fade to black on a shot of CM Punk and Paul Heyman, not too thrilled.
Commercial Break.
We return to Raw to the commentary desk where Michael Cole tells us that tonight, the winner of the 2013 Royal Rumble, will be here tonight to address the WWE Universe on his victory.
United States Champion Antonio Cesaro def. The Miz in a non-title match In a rematch from last night on the YouTube Pre-Show, these two collided once again, But the result was no different, and with The Miz's injured ankle still proving to be an issue, Cesaro was able to pick up another victory over the "Awesome" superstar, hitting him with The Neutralizer for the victory.
After the match, Antonio Cesaro grabbed a microphone and declared that he was indeed the greatest United States Champion of all time and nobody, American or not, can defeat him. Cesaro leaves as we fade backstage.
In the back, we see the WWE Champion, The Rock to a huge pop. He's walking down the corridors, his WWE Championship over his shoulder, being congratulated by various WWE superstars. He then happens to bump into none other... than John Cena. There is a huge mixed reaction in the arena as Cena appears on screen and he locks eyes with Rock. John Cena extends his hand to The Rock and congratulates him on becoming the WWE Champion. Rock takes the handshake and congratulates Cena on his Royal Rumble victory. The two pull each other closer, still glaring at each other with intensity. They let go and John Cena walks off, The Rock watching him leave down the hallway as the scene fades away.
Commercial Break.
We return to Raw to see the backstage area where Vickie Guerrero is standing alongside the Raw Roulette wheel. Dolph Ziggler, AJ lee and Big E Langston walk onto the screen to some heat. Ziggler says that he doesn't care who he's up against tonight because he isn't in the mood, and whoever it is better be ready for the beating of their life. Vickie laughs to herself and tells Dolph that she enjoyed watching him get eliminated in the Royal Rumble, simply angering him even more. She spins the wheel, filled with the faces of various WWE superstars. The wheel finally lands on... John Cena! The crowd give a heavy mixed reaction as Ziggler lowers his head in disappointment. AJ Lee steps forward and gets in Vickie's face, telling her to spin the wheel again, but Vickie refuses, saying that the wheel spin is final, and tonight, Dolph Ziggler will take on John Cena. AJ tells Vickie to watch her back, because one of these days, she's going to make sure she regrets everything she's ever done to her "Ziggy". AJ storms off, followed by Ziggler and Langston and we return to ringside.
Bo Dallas def. David Otunga After a highly impressive showing at last night's Royal Rumble, including the shocking elimination of the Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett, Bo Dallas made his Raw debut against David Otunga. Proving that he isn't just a one-hit wonder, Dallas put Otunga away with a huge Belly-to-Belly Powerslam for the victory.
Dallas celebrated his victory, the crowd getting behind him, but before his celebration could continue, the Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett showed up and clocked the young superstar with his title belt! The crowd booed as Barrett stood over the man that eliminated him from the Royal Rumble last night, screaming at him that he was going to feel the full force of the "Barrett Barrage".
We are shown a promo package for WWE Elimination Chamber, airing on February 17th, 2013.
Commercial Break.
Returning to Raw, the World Heavyweight Champion, Alberto Del Rio is making his way to the ring along with Ricardo Rodriguez to a big pop from the Las Vegas crowd. He enters the ring and we then see on the titantron that the SmackDown General Manager, Booker T is backstage with the Raw Roulette wheel now. Booker T says that up next, Alberto Del Rio will take on the Big Show in a non-title match, and he's going to spin to see what kind of match they will have. Booker spins the wheel and it lands on... a Tables match! The crowd erupt and Big Show makes his entrance, looking extremely angry after what happened last night.
Tables Match - World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio with Ricardo Rodriguez def. Big Show in a non-title match Last night, these two competed in an incredible Last Man Standing Match which ended with Del Rio and Rodriguez outsmarting the giant and using duct tape to keep the World's Largest Athlete down for the count. This was yet another hard fought battle between the two, but it seems like Del Rio once again outsmarted the giant, as Big SHow went to Spear Del Rio through a table, the World Champion kicked the legs from underneath the big man and sent him crashing through that same table, winning the match.
Del Rio and Rodriguez quickly fled, the WWE Universe cheering them on as Big Show brushed the pieces of wood from his face. Rage filled him as he had once again lost to the Mexican superstar. The scene then fades backstage.
We are shown a shot of Dolph Ziggler, AJ Lee and Big E Langston backstage once again, talking about Ziggler's match with Cena. Vickie Guerrero interrupts them and says that she forgot to mention something earlier on when they spun the wheel. She says that Big E Langston won't be at ringside for his match. Ziggler says she can't do that and asks why. Vickie says that Big E Langston will have a match tonight on Raw - up next - against Chris Jericho! The crowd erupt as Vickie cackles. Ziggler starts to go mad, but Big E steps in, saying that Ziggler doesn't need to worry, because he's going to put Jericho away for good. Langston leaves and we fade to black.
Commercial Break.
Chris Jericho def. Big E Langston The WWE Universe were more than happy to see Chris Jericho back in action after returning in last night's Royal Rumble as entrant number two. Despite Big E's huge physique and his intimidating mannerisms, nothing could affect Jericho and he was able to put the big man away with a Codebreaker to the delight of the WWE Universe.
Jericho celebrated his victory, declaring that he is indeed back in the WWE. The titantron shows Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee watching a screen and shaking their heads, looking angry at Jericho's return. But we are then reminded that Dolph Ziggler will be in action, and that will be up next!
A WrestleMania package is shown, informing us that there are 69 days until the big event on April 7th, 2013.
Backstage, we are shown Paul Heyman and CM Punk talking to a ton of heat. Heyman is going on about how he could be fired tonight, but Punk says Mr. McMahon can't do anything, he has no power. Punk claims that he has the power here in the WWE because he is the rightful WWE Champion, and if it comes down to it he will bring this company to its knees just like he did in 2011. Heyman says he's worried for his job and its The Shield's fault. Punk says forget about The Shield because he'll sort them out, but before all that, he's going to make sure McMahon and The Rock pay for everything they've done to him.
Commercial Break.
John Cena def. Dolph Ziggler with AJ lee The crowd were pumped to see these two collide again, the two of them going back and forth. Ziggler put on a show as usual, but in the end, it was John Cena, coming off his enormous Royal Rumble victory that allowed him to pick up the win against his former rival after hitting him with an Attitude Adjustment and hooking the leg for the three.
Cena celebrated, most of the fans behind him as Ziggler left the ring and retreated with AJ. Cena then grabbed a microphone and it looked as though he was ready to speak.
Cena says that although this is the second time he's won the Royal Rumble, it's still an amazing achievement for him. He says that he now has the power to choose between the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships at WrestleMania, and it's a decision he's been thinking about non-stop for the past 24 hours. "I know a lot of guys in the back would think it over loads of times before coming to a decision, but I want to make my decision right here in Las Vegas". The crowd pop and Cena looks up at the WrestleMania sign. He says that he's looked at the pros and cons of both, he's thought them over and he's come to a decision, and that decision is that he will challenge for the-- but wait... the theme of The Shield hits the arena as the WWE Universe gasp in horror. Cena drops the microphone and looks around him, ready for anything. We see Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns coming through the crowd and eventually jumping the guardrail. They jump onto a side of the ring each and then they attack. John Cena being the warrior that he is tries to fight off the vicious group, but 3-on-1 is too much even for Cena to handle. The Shield beat him down with no remorse and then set him up for their signature Triple Powerbomb. But suddenly, the theme of Ryback hits to a huge pop from the WWE Universe! Ryback makes his way to the ring and slides in for the save. However, The Shield retreat before Ryback gets to them. The crowd chanted Feed Me More as Ryback and Cena stood side-by-side, despite being the final two in the Royal Rumble, The Shield retreating through the crowd.
Commercial Break.
We return to Raw and are shown that during the break, on WWE Active, Vickie Guerrero would once again spin the wheel. This time alongside the Divas Champion, Kaitlyn to see who she would defend the Divas Championship against here tonight on Raw. The wheel landed on Tamina Snuka and that match is next.
Divas Championship Match - Divas Champion Kaitlyn def. Tamina Snuka to retain the championship These two Divas were determined to put on a show tonight, and they did. But some may say that Kaitlyn got lucky when she managed to somehow roll Tamina up for the three count and pull off a big victory, leaving Tamina frustrated.
Kaitlyn left ringside with her Divas Championship still intact and Tamina looking extremely angry at her loss. We then fade to the backstage area.
We are then shown the next WWE Hall of Fame inductee - Trish Stratus! The crowd give the announcement a big ovation as Trish Stratus will be inducted into the 2013 Hall of Fame the night before WrestleMania 29. We then return to Raw.
The WWE Tag Team Champions, Team Hell No are shown walking down the corridor, arguing as per usual. They will take on Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow in a non-title match which will be determined by the Raw Roulette wheel!
Commercial Break.
We return to Raw to see the two teams make their entrances and then SmackDown General Manager, Booker T spins the wheel for the match type. It lands on the Strange Bedfellows stipulation, creating confusion in the ring. Booker T reveals that the teams will have to swap one of their members and compete as a new tag team against their respective partners. The crowd pop and the match gets underway once the confusion has been cleared.
Kane & Cody Rhodes versus Daniel Bryan & Damien Sandow ended in a Double Countout This was strange to say the least, as the match type suggests. Kane and Daniel Bryan actually locked up and went at it for a few minutes, but when both of them tagged in Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow, Team Rhodes Scholars refused to fight. Kane and Daniel Bryan got in the ring and started arguing with their new partners. Kane and Bryan looked at each other before chaos broke out. Kane delivered a Chokeslam to Cody Rhodes and Daniel Bryan hit Damien Sandow with a huge roundhouse kick to the skull. Team Rhodes Scholars fled and both men were counted out, resulting in a double countout.
The WWE Tag team Champions grabbed their belts but then began to argue over who actually won the match. The commentary team laugh as we fade backstage.
Randy Orton is alongside Vickie Guerrero and the Raw Roulette wheel to a huge pop. Vickie spins the wheel to see who Orton will take on, and it just so happens that the wheel lands on - Sheamus. Orton looks up and what a coincidence, Sheamus walks in. The two stare at each other and Sheamus tells Orton he'll see him in the ring "fella". Sheamus leaves and the scene fades to black.
We are once again reminded that later tonight, Mr. McMahon will evaluate Paul Heyman's performance and could possibly terminate his contract. All that to come!
Commercial Break.
Randy Orton def. Sheamus Orton and Sheamus have had their fair share of clashes in the past, and a few recently. This battle of former World Champions definitely tore the WWE Universe in half, but in the end, it was a missed Brogue Kick that allowed Orton to hit the RKO and put Sheamus away.
After the match, Orton made it clear that he was looking to become the World Champion once more for WrestleMania, mouthing to the crowd that he wanted the gold. Sheamus got to his feet and the two locked eyes, Sheamus nodding at Orton and hinting that he wanted the gold too. They both look up to the WrestleMania sign and we cut to commentary.
Michael Cole tells us that in an exclusive interview on WWE Active, Mr. McMahon revealed that he is banning CM Punk from ringside during Paul Heyman's performance evaluation. We see a quick clip from it and then we're are told that the aforementioned performance evaluation - is next!
An advertisement for this Friday's SmackDown is shown, promoting that the new WWE Champion, The Rock will make his first appearance on the blue brand as Champion. Don't miss it!
We are shown the Chairman, Mr. McMahon on his way to the ring as the performance evaluation - is next!
Commercial Break.
We return to Raw to hear the theme of the Chairman, Mr. McMahon as he makes his way to the ring. He steps through the ropes, lets the fans die down and begins to speak. He says that he's going to cut to the chase and calls Paul Heyman out to the ring right now. Heyman waddles his way onto the stage, reluctantly moving forward, clearly fearing for his future in the WWE. He enters the ring and stands across from Mr. McMahon. McMahon says that he hopes Heyman knows why he is here tonight. "As a matter of fact, I don't" replied Heyman. He declared that he has nothing to do with The Shield whatsoever and if anything, he wants them gone just as bad as Mr. McMahon does for costing CM Punk the WWE Championship. McMahon laughs, saying that Heyman is such a terrible liar. He says that even putting The Shield aside, Heyman laid his hands on The Rock last night at the Royal Rumble and that was unacceptable. McMahon says that Heyman has crossed the line and it would be in his best interests to admit his involvement with The Shield right now. Heyman looks down at the ring mat and then looks up before saying "I know who they are, and I know why they're hear... but I have nothing to do with them, that is the honest truth". McMahon says that if Heyman knows why they're here, then he ought to explain right now. Heyman stalls for quite a while, and just as he seems to be about to explain, the fear in the arena rises as for the second time tonight, we hear the theme of The Shield.
The commentary team express their worry, shouting for Mr. McMahon to leave the ring now. Even Heyman looks worried. The Shield appear out of nowhere and surround the ring, just like they did earlier. They enter and surround the Chairman as Heyman slithers away like the slug he is. Heyman holds his hand to his mouth, apparently in shock as he quickly flees up the ramp. Mr. McMahon tells The Shield that if they attack him, he'll make sure it's the last thing they ever do. Just as they are about to unleash on the Chairman, the theme of John Cena hits to a huge pop as he storms to the ring and gets some revenge on The Shield for earlier. However, much like earlier, the numbers game is too much. Ryback comes out to another huge pop to even the score, but this time, The Shield get the advantage and beat the duo down. They brutalise them until they are once again left alone with the Chairman. Dean Ambrose slaps McMahon across the face to a gasp from the crowd. But before things can get worse...
"Time to play the Game!"
The WWE Universe explode as the Chief Operating Officer of the WWE, The Game, Triple H comes to the ring, clad in a new t-shirt and some jeans. He enters the ring and goes to work on The Shield. John Cena and Ryback get to their feet and join in the fight and the trio of Cena, Ryback and Triple H somehow manage to fend off this rogue group, sending them retreating through the crowd from where they came. Mr. McMahon looks relieved that these three superstars came to his aid as Raw fades to a close.

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 28th January 2013...I like that this was posted an hour after last night's show, giving you a decent timeline to follow from the actual show. The Rock's celebration opening the show was a good decision, and as expected CM Punk interrupting was a good decision. I do like that it didn't announce a final date for the rematch for the WWE Championship bout, but this segment really did remind me of something we'd see on SmackDown in terms of a promo formula. Not well put together. But Vince McMahon's inclusion did make some sense, promoting our main event segment with Paul Heyman's performance evaluation. Antonio Cesaro defeating the Miz sounded like a fairly good opening contest, but I'm upset to see this feud apparently end so short: a YouTube pre-show with a rematch the next night was certainly not the right treatment for an uppercarder like the Miz and a rising star in need of getting over like the WWE United States Champion. The Rock and John Cena's hallway meeting was very intriguing, a sign of things to come at WrestleMania XXIX. Dolph Ziggler facing John Cena tonight should be good, even if it is getting past its' point now. Yay, Bo Dallas makes his debut on RAW, a nice win against David Otunga to establish him. Wade Barrett jumping him is fine, but I think it should've been played out a little more. Either way, I'm fine with it. It's a feud over the WWE Intercontinental Championship I've been looking forward to for a while. Alberto Del Rio and Big Show on RAW in a Tables match, I'm not a fan of it being given away on RAW honestly, particularly in a gimmick match. It has the background from the Royal Rumble Last Man Standing match to make it into an extended feud between the two headed into Elimination Chamber or a future SmackDown (the table crash for Del Rio particularly); but nevermind. I guess it's time to look forward to a Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Hmm, also not too fond of Big E Langston being in action for the first time tonight, I feel like it should have had better hype for it, since Langston has been shown as unstoppable since his debut on-screen with Ziggler. And then with Chris Jericho defeating Langston, it made the big guy look pretty bad. John Cena with another win over Dolph Ziggler? Fair I suppose, Cena needed it after winning the Royal Rumble match last night. Following this, a decent promo with Cena on his opponent for WrestleMania, loved that the Shield cut him off just to extend this process. Following this, a similar angle to reality sans Sheamus - with the focus on Cena and Ryback, I'm thinking what will go on with these two. What I would love to see is a three-on-three Elimination Chamber match (remember that unused match mode from the video games?) between the Shield and three opposers. Kaitlyn defeating Tamina was acceptable, a fair WWE Divas Championship match, although I would like to see Tamina as a threat to Kaitlyn's title reign. A Strange Bedfellows match? Interesting, I do hope that the Rhodes Scholars and Team Hell No feud ends before the Chamber though; it's been running since September now. Hmm, I always thought Randy Orton and Sheamus was headed to a match at WrestleMania XXIX, given their teaser feud prior to the Rumble. A solid main event but with little meaning it seemed. Finally, a good final promo as real life envisioned, and I loved the Shield being included, just to be saved by Triple H, John Cena and Ryback. An average show circled with the Shield, Cena and Ryback thing - I'm just curious for explanation on Triple H's return from retirement, and whether you will have Brock Lesnar make a return. Outside of that, the show had numerous segments on it that I didn't quite agree with, but this is just a starter show, and it provided a nice outline of the main event angle. Additionally, what happened to CM Punk after that opening promo? I'm looking forward to more.

Love Triple H returning to the WWE, the COO is back, as he goes to help Cena and Ryback fend off The Shield just as the Shield attack Triple H's father-in-law Vince McMahon but I wonder if this will bring back Brock Lesnar, and if it does, then it will definitely want to see Brock Lesnar vs Triple H II at WrestleMania but in what type of match should their rematch be in? I say Brock Lesnar vs Triple H II inside Hell In A Cell
Chris Jericho is back for good and here's to stay hopefully, and in his first match back he beats Big E. but I wonder if Jericho and Ziggler's feud will continue and if it does, I definitely want to see it continue until Elimination Chamber or at the very least until WrestleMania 29
Sheamus and Randy Orton's feud I love it, but if one of them is to turn heel, I really hope it's Sheamus but if Orton turns heel, I then would be very happy
Can't wait until Smackdown

WWE Main Event - January 30th, 2013 The show opened up with The Miz standing in the ring with a microphone. He said how he's been defeated by Antonio Cesaro the past two times they have faced, and he isn't going to pretend it hasn't damaged his confidence. But he vows that soon, he will defeat Antonio Cesaro and capture the United States Championship for the third time. The Miz is interrupted by the theme of the United States Champion himself, who comes out to a chorus of boos. Cesaro says that The Miz is a typical American citizen, talking the talk about how he is going to accomplish something, but never being able to get the job done. Cesaro says that he's confident in his ability to defeat The Miz again, and again, and again, and says that The Miz is free to continue trying, even offering him a match right here, right now. However, The Miz turns his offer down, saying that he's decided to take a week off to rest the injury he sustained at the Royal Rumble, but he thought Cesaro would come out here and say something like that, so he found Cesaro a replacement opponent who's just itching to get back in the ring... the theme of Goldust hits to a huge ovation, appearing for the first time since this past Sunday's Royal Rumble match. Goldust is back!
Goldust def. United States Champion Antonio Cesaro in a non-title match The crowd were pumped to see the return of Goldust in one-on-one action. This was a great match and showed that Goldust hadn't lost a step during his absence from our screens. Goldust hit some of his signature moves on Cesaro, including the drop-down uppercut, but when Goldust went for the Final Cut, Cesaro slid out of the ring, under the rope and left ringside. He stood in front of the announce table, shaking his head. Goldust tried to go out of the ring to get him, but the referee stopped him from leaving. With the referee occupied, Miz got up from the commentary desk and threw Cesaro back into the ring to a huge pop. Cesaro looked out of the ring at The Miz, shouting at him for throwing him back in, but it was enough of a distraction as Cesaro turned around into a kick to the gut, followed by the Final Cut for the victory!
With the WWE Universe behind him, Goldust celebrated his non-title victory over the United States Champion. The Miz looked on from the commentary desk with a smirk on his face as Cesaro came to. He looked out of the ring in anger, Miz seemingly getting his own back for the past two defeats at the hands of his Swiss rival.
Commercial Break.
The Usos def. Primo & Epico A good tag team match, showcasing these fine young talents. Following a change in momentum in favour of the young Uso brothers, they were able to isolate Primo and hit him with the Elevated Samoan Drop for the victory.
The Usos celebrated their win, realising that momentum gained on the Road to WrestleMania is always vital!

WWE Main Event: Wednesday 30th January 2013...Good promo with The Miz in the ring to kick things off. I liked how Miz introduced Antonio Cesaro's opponent for tonight by the name of Goldust, very original touch. I hope you do continue with that Goldust and Cody Rhodes business after the Royal Rumble. Goldust then defeating Cesaro was big, although it demoralized the WWE United States Champion in my humble opinion. Mind you, with Miz as a factor, that could have been his downfall. I imagine Miz and Cesaro will have their blowoff match at Elimination Chamber. It's a pretty nifty midcard feud, I think. The Usos defeating Primo and Epico wasn't exactly anything new, and I don't think either team will be on the card for WrestleMania XXIX, but it still keeps my hope for the four men following WrestleMania. Heck, maybe one of the Usos will turn heel, or something golden like that. Not a bad episode of Main Event for what it was. On WWE Superstars, expected win for the Great Khali against Jinder Mahal, and the same for Brodus Clay against JTG. At this point, Saturday Morning Slam is more prestigious than Superstar, which is a shame, really. Hope to see some Slam results in the future, even if it is in the same formula as this. Looking forward to reading SmackDown.

Call me a smark one more time.
Good opening with the new WWE Champion, The Rock (sigh). I do wonder if you'll have the rematch between he and CM Punk at Elimination Chamber. Lot of Shield references in there. While I have no problem with Antonio Cesaro and The Miz having another match tonight, I think Miz came out of this feud looking unnecessarily weak. At least, that's the vibe I got out of the promo afterwards, that this feud is now over. Intense backstage meeting with The Rock and John Cena. Potential foreshadowing. Good victory for Bo Dallas in his RAW debut. Wade Barrett with the attack afterwards, I liked. Should be good to see this feud progress, and whether or not the young Bo shocks the world and captures the Intercontinental Championship. Really unsure on having Alberto Del Rio and the Big Show meet in a Tables Match just 24 hours after their Last Man Standing match. They've already had two TV matches and one pay-per-view match, and I imagine you have plans to extend this feud to Elimination Chamber. A bit overkill, maybe. And after losing to Del Rio three times in a row, how are we supposed to believe Show can beat him in a fourth encounter? Not fond at all of having Big E Langston's in-ring debut be so flat in terms of hype. And especially having him lose cleanly to Chris Jericho. Really hurts Big E. John Cena defeating Dolph Ziggler yet again. I've grown tired of that result. I liked The Shield interrupting Cena's promo, nearly beating him down, only for Ryback to make the save. I expect a Six Man Tag match of sorts at Elimination Chamber. Wonder who you have join Cena and Ryback. Orton? Sheamus? Glad to see Kaitlyn retain the Divas Championship over Tamina, though I think you could have held this off until Elimination Chamber. Really could have benefited from the PPV setting with some build up behind it. Very unique stipulation here for Team Hell No and Team Rhodes Scholars. I love that since Rhodes and Sandow were on opposite teams, neither team won. Orton vs. Sheamus on RAW? That's....odd. Considering this match seems WrestleMania bound. Orton getting the win was also kind of weird. Sheamus could have gotten the victory to further the potential Orton heel turn, me thinks. But whatevs. Lastly, great in ring segment with Vince McMahon evaluating Paul Heyman, only for The Shield to get involved. Triple H?! Wow, wasn't expecting that. I think the segment would have been a bit more believable if Hunter were in a suit, rather than looking ready to fight when he's supposed to be a company-man now. I do wonder if Brock Lesnar will fit into all of this at some point soon. A good starter show overall.

Good to see Goldust back as Miz looked strong as a face in the opening section. Goldust needs to be working with Rhodes. I could see Cesaro and Goldy working well with each other. The finish was predictable and did continue the feud well between Miz and Cesaro. I hope to see a push for both teams here as they can clearly flow. The match seemed short and a weird way to end the show. No hype for next week? Nothing interesting from Superstars. JTG jobs as well as the 3 man job.

I'm not a fan of Goldust beating Cesaro here. Yeah, Goldust got a good pop at the Rumble, but come on. Cesaro needs to be built up big time and be seen as a main event guy heading into the summer. Thought that was a really poor decision.

Main Event: Goldust beating Cesaro is meh. I would much rather have the future of WWE win against the old-timer. Good to see the continuation of the Miz/Cesaro program. I hope to see Cesaro win the Heavyweight title soon. Usos over Team Peurto Rico is alright. Give Uses a big tag push and I'll be happy.

Friday Night SmackDown - February 1st, 2013 in San Diego, California We open up with a recap of what happened this past Monday on Raw when Mr. McMahon would evaluate Paul Heyman's performance live on Raw. It shows the moment Heyman revealed he had some information on The Shield, but before he could reveal anything, The Shield themselves hit the ring and surrounded the Chairman. John Cena and Ryback would come down to make the save, but the numbers game once again proved to be too much even for this duo. However, the real story was the return of the Chief Operating Officer - Triple H! The Game made his way to the ring to save his father-in-law from a brutal assault and teamed with Cena and Ryback to fend off this renegade group of Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns. The package fades to a close on a shot of Triple H, John Cena, Ryback and Mr. McMahon standing in a line in the ring.
The show opens up with a huge pyrotechnics display and we are taken to ringside where Josh Mathews and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield are at commentary. We are reminded that tonight, the WWE Champion, The Rock will be here tonight on SmackDown for the first time as WWE Champion in over ten years! JBL says he can't wait to see that, but before we go any further, the WWE Universe erupt into boos as the theme of the World's Largest Athlete, the Big Show hits the arena.
Big Show makes his way to the ring looking extremely angry, and rightfully so after losing to Alberto Del Rio not once, not twice, but three times in the past few weeks. He enters the ring and begins to speak, saying how Alberto Del Rio is the luckiest man on the planet. Show says that there is no way that anyone beats him three times and gets away with it, and promises that the next time he gets his hands on him, he will hit him so hard with the Knockout Punch that he'll wake up a year later. Big Show calls Alberto Del Rio out, saying that he wants a fair, one-on-one rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship right here, right now. There is no answer. Big Show asks again, and says that if he doesn't get an answer, then he's going to come back there and find Del Rio and his stooge, Ricardo Rodriguez and knock them both out. Big Show finally has enough of waiting and goes to leave the ring, but the theme of the SmackDown General Manager, Booker T hits to a pop and Show goes back to the middle of the ring. Booker T stands on the stage and tells the Big Show that he's had his fair share of one-on-one World Heavyweight Championship matches, and it was him who chose the match at the Royal Rumble to be a Last Man Standing Match. So Booker says that Big Show's days of one-on-one Championship matches are done. The crowd erupt and Big Show goes crazy. But Booker isn't done... Booker says that while Big Show may not receive any more one-on-one title shots, in just over two weeks time, it will be time for WWE Elimination Chamber, and Booker T has hand-picked five individuals to enter the Elimination Chamber to compete alongside Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship! A huge pop is heard in the arena as Booker T goes on to reveal the participants.
We will see Alberto Del Rio defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, the Big Show, Chris Jericho and Randy Orton! The WWE Universe appear to be happy with those choices, but the Big Show isn't too happy about being placed into the Elimination Chamber, saying he deserves another shot by himself. Booker T says that it's either the Elimination Chamber or nothing, and tonight, each of the six participants will face off in singles matches, and up first, it will be the Big Show taking on Chris Jericho! Big Show is furious, but Booker T leaves and we hear the theme of Chris Jericho to a huge pop. He makes his way to the ring and we get ready to see these former WWE Tag Team Champions square off.
Commercial Break.
Big Show def. Chris Jericho These former tag team partners were looking to get the advantage going into Elimination Chamber, and Big Show was still furious with what has happened. The WWE Universe were still excited that Jericho has returned to the WWE, but here to ruin the fun, is Dolph Ziggler with Big E Langston and AJ Lee. Ziggler's distracts Jericho by sending Big E onto the ring apron. Jericho delivers a triangle dropkick to the big man, dropping him down to the floor to a huge pop. But the distraction was enough for Big Show to deliver a Knockout Punch to Y2J and pick up the victory.
The crowd booed as Big Show was declared the winner and Dolph Ziggler and AJ laughed at Jericho's loss. It's no secret that Jericho can't wait to get his hands on Ziggler after all this time. We then fade backstage.
Team Rhodes Scholars are backstage, talking about this past Monday on Raw when they were forced to compete in the Strange Bedfellows Match with Team Hell No. They both agree that there is no way that can ever happen again as they are far better than the "buffoons" Kane and Daniel Bryan. They are approached by Booker T in the back, and he tells them that he wasn't happy with their performance on Raw since they backed out of the Strange Bedfellows Match, so he's booked them in another match tonight, and they will take on Sin Cara and San Diego's own - Rey Mysterio. The crowd erupt for Mysterio as Booker leaves, Rhodes Scholars not too happy with the match that was made.
Commercial Break.
We return to see a recap of Raw when Bo Dallas would defeat David Otunga, but was then assaulted by the Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett after the match. We then return to SmackDown.
Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett def. Zack Ryder in a non-title match The Champion looked incredibly smug on his way to the ring, clearly proud of his actions on Raw. Barrett made fairly quick work of the internet sensation and finished him off with the vicious Bull Hammer.
Wade Barrett celebrated his victory before asking for a microphone. He spoke, saying that he doesn't know who Bo Dallas thinks he is - he doesn't even know who Bo Dallas actually is - but if he fancies himself a challenger for the Intercontinental Championship, then Wade Barrett is officially calling him out for a match, this Monday on Raw. Barrett says if Bo Dallas thinks he's good enough, he'll see him next week. He drops the microphone and leaves, raising his Intercontinental Championship above his head to many boos.
We are shown a video package for WWE Elimination Chamber, airing February 17th, 2013.
A reminder of what happened earlier tonight is shown, showing Booker T's Elimination Chamber announcement, and the announcement of three singles matches between the participants tonight. Up next, we will see Sheamus take on Dolph Ziggler.
Commercial Break.
Dolph Ziggler with AJ Lee & Big E Langston def. Sheamus The second of three matches tonight featuring the six participants in the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match. Sheamus didn't let the additional ringside presence bother him, but it did factor into the match later on, much like it did during Chris Jericho's match with the Big Show earlier. Just as Sheamus was about to Brogue Kick Dolph Ziggler, AJ Lee slid into the ring and covered "her Ziggy" to protect him. The referee went to remove AJ from the ring, and while he was distracted, Big E Langston came in and hit Sheamus with an enormous clothesline, taking him down with authority. Langston left the ring, as did AJ, and as Sheamus got to his feet, Dolph Ziggler hit the ZigZag, claiming the victory.
Ziggler quickly rolled under the bottom rope and fled alongside Langston and AJ Lee, a grin across his face having gained some serious momentum going into Elimination Chamber. He makes sure everyone remembers that he is also the holder of the Money in the Bank briefcase, holding it up in the air. Sheamus was disappointed in his loss as we fade backstage.
We see a shot of the backstage area where the WWE Champion, The Rock is walking down a corridor on his way to the ring to make his appearance to the SmackDown fans.
Commercial Break.
We return to SmackDown and hear the theme of the WWE Champion, The Rock to a huge ovation. He comes out looking as pumped as ever, storming down the ramp in his usual manner. He enters the ring and grabs a microphone, getting ready to speak to the fans here in San Diego. He starts by saying his usual bit - "Finally... The Rock has come back... to San Diego!" to a huge pop. He then goes on to say how this past Monday on Raw, CM Punk said that he was "screwed" out of the WWE Championship by him and Mr. McMahon. But The Rock says that CM Punk is delusional, because if he had to resort to "screwing" someone over to be the Champion, he wouldn't want to be the Champion at all. He says that he only wants to earn a Championship, and that's what he has done by beating CM Punk and ending the reign of terror that lasted 434 days. The Rock goes on to say how he plans to go to WrestleMania as the WWE Champion and electrify the WWE Universe for the second year running. But before he can continue, the voice of CM Punk can be heard and we see him the titantron, apparently via satellite.
CM Punk says he decided to do what The Rock does and appear via satellite tonight because the WWE Universe don't deserve to see him. He gets a ton of heat and a raised eyebrow from The Rock. Punk says that The Rock can pretend that he is the WWE Champion all he wants, but the cold hard truth is that CM Punk is still the WWE Champion, because he never lost fair and square. Punk stands by his claim that The Rock and Vince McMahon were in cahoots and planned all along to screw him out of the title because they couldn't accept the fact that he had outdone "precious Rocky" in every possible way. Punk says that this Monday on Raw, he wants The Rock to show up if his schedule isn't too busy and stand face-to-face with him and do the right thing - hand the WWE Championship back over to him and forget this ever happened. The crowd boo and The Rock looks around, confused. Rock tells Punk that there's no way on God's earth that the CM Punk is getting his "creepy, hobo hands" on the WWE Championship ever again. He says that he will be on Raw this Monday, and if CM Punk really wants to, he will stand face-to-face with him, eye-to-eye, but there is no way he is handing over the WWE Championship unless CM Punk earns it. Punk chuckles to himself, and says that for the past 439 days, he has proved to everyone why he is the WWE Champion, and he says that The Rock is in no position to talk about "earning" anything. Punk says that The Rock should enjoy the short time he has left holding the WWE Championship, because Punk declares that it will be in his possession again very soon, and the title will come home. The feed cuts off and The Rock stands staring at the titantron as we fade to black.
We see a recap of what happened at the Royal Rumble when John Cena was victorious for the second time in his career.
Commercial Break.
Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara def. Team Rhodes Scholars In a match made earlier by General Manager, Booker T, Rey Mysterio was able to shine in his hometown alongside his friend Sin Cara, at the expense of Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow. The masked luchadores were able to pick up the victory following a 619 and Splash from Mysterio as Cara launched himself over the top rope onto Sandow.
The crowd erupted as Mysterio and Cara celebrated. Team Rhodes Scholars left the ring in disappointment, looking at each other in a way that suggested they weren't too happy with their losses as of late. They walked to the back and the scene fades.
Backstage, we see the General Manager, Booker T in his office before he is interrupted by the Big Show to some heat. Show says that he still wants to talk to Booker about this Elimination Chamber Match, claiming that he shouldn't be competing in it and deserves another shot at Del Rio one-on-one. Booker says that if Big Show really doesn't want to compete, then he can take him out of the Chamber Match and leave him off the Pay-Per-View completely. Big Show says he isn't playing games, and says that he knows he deserves another World Heavyweight Championship opportunity. Booker T advises Big Show to shut up or he will simply be taken out of it completely. Big Show storms off in anger.
We are reminded that our Main Event is up next - the World Heavyweight Champion, Alberto Del Rio versus Randy Orton!
Commercial Break.
World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio versus Randy Orton went to a No Contest Reigniting a feud from 2012, this match was a great way to close the show. The final of three matches featuring the six Elimination Chamber participants for the World Heavyweight Championship, and what a finale it was. It was back and forth, the WWE Universe torn between two of their favourites, but the match was ruined by the World Largest Athlete, the Big Show when he entered the ring and delivered a Spear to Randy Orton.
The crowd were furious at the Main Event being cut short by the angry giant, and it seems so was Del Rio as he went to work on the big man. Del Rio hit a huge enziguiri sending Big Show stumbling into the corner. Out of nowhere, Dolph Ziggler appeared and delivered a beautiful dropkick to Alberto Del Rio, knocking him down. Chris Jericho was next out to a huge pop, going toe-to-toe with Dolph Ziggler for the first time since his return! However, the numbers game played a big role as Big E Langston joined Ziggler in assaulting Jericho. The day was saved by the Great White, Sheamus who had a score to settle with Ziggler and Langston from earlier. Sheamus entered the ring and threw Langston over the top rope before threatening Ziggler with a right hand, only for him to turn around into a Codebreaker! The crowd erupted as Ziggler flew out of the ring, into the arms of his beloved AJ Lee. Jericho and Sheamus shared an intense stare down before they were both clotheslined to the canvas by the Big Show to a ton of heat. Big Show stood tall, but not for long - RKO! Orton drops the giant with a massive RKO and stands over him looking as serious as ever. Orton turns around and comes face-to-face with the man he was just competing against, the World Heavyweight Champion, Alberto Del Rio. Orton and Del Rio stood in each other's faces, Del Rio with his title over his shoulder. This Elimination Chamber Match is sure to be as explosive as any other!

I can't wait until your RAW show and here's hoping Mark Henry returns or even Jack Swagger or even Christian on your February 4 episode but nevertheless I enjoyed Smackdown from start to finish especially the end with Show interrupting the Del Rio/Orton match

WRESTLINGINC.COM REPORT -- February 3rd, 2013; written by Ryan Clarke.
Another superstar possibly returning? - Sources suggest that the WWE is apparently in talks with former WWE superstar, Elijah Burke following his TNA contract coming to an end on January 1st. There is a possibility he could be re-signed to the roster sometime after WrestleMania. However, with recent reports suggesting that Shelton Benjamin and Carlito were also in talks with the company for the Royal Rumble, yet didn't appear, nothing is confirmed by any means. Carlito has openly disapproved of many of the WWE's storylines on Twitter, but Shelton Benjamin has always been open to a return. Keep a close eye on these three individuals in the future.
Two Elimination Chamber Matches scheduled - While only one Elimination Chamber Match has been revealed, the belief is that another will be announced this Monday night on Raw. Although, it is not expected to concern the WWE Championship as they seem to be leaning more towards a one-on-one rematch between The Rock and CM Punk. That being said, there have been talks of an Elimination Chamber featuring a new concept, and concept only seen in the WWE video games - a Six-Man Tag Team Elimination Chamber Match. There have been rumours that there will be a version of the aforementioned match between John Cena, Ryback, Triple H and The Shield. While nothing is set in stone, rumour has it that this could be the Main Event to the Pay-Per-View on February 17th.

Advice taken, bitch biscuit.
Sold opening segment with Big Show moaning about his loss to Alberto Del Rio at the Royal Rumble. Liked how Booker made him believe that he wouldn't get another shot, only to reveal him as a Chamber participant. Good win for Show over Chris Jericho. The distraction from Ziggler should certainly make things interesting for their feud, and when they meet in the Elimination Chamber. Yeah! F*ck you, Ryder! Eat Barrett's elbow! Partially expecting Bo Dallas to score the upset win over Barrett on RAW. Not really grown on Bo just yet, though. I hated him for so long in FCW/NXT, so it's going to be a hard to adjust to him on the main roster. Hey, Ziggler actually beat Sheamus. That's different. And appreciative, might I add. Would love to see a Sheamus/Big E match come out of this. Very good first hour segment with new WWE Champion The Rock and CM Punk, albeit via satellite. I'm curious to see just where you take this storyline, if we see it extend to WrestleMania with John Cena in the mix. Expected win for Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara in Rey's hometown. Either one of these teams will be Team Hell No's next challengers,I imagine. Or maybe both? Lastly, good main event with Randy Orton and Alberto Del Rio, only to be interrupted by the Big Show. Loved the chaotic finish with the Chamber participants. A bit weird to see Del Rio in the same light as Orton in terms of top tier babyfaces. A good show overall.
