Raw: - Nice opening with Lesnar. Quite obvious that Lesnar/Hunter is going to happen at Wrestlemania, so I just hope you add some sort of unique match type or stipulation. - Glad Ziggler only lost by disqualification. Henry vs Del Rio is the match I personally wanted at 'Mania so if that happens, awesome. - Swagger looking strong with his comeback. - Ryback is above the handicap matches now, I think. Hope he has a consistent storyline going forward. - I was just saying to a friend how I really want Cesaro vs Jericho to happen. Shame it was just a random match on Raw, but at least it happened. Glad Cesaro won. - Ryback/Orton/Sheamus vs Shield at 'Mania would annoy me. Mainly because of Orton's involvement I think. Would honestly rather have Ryback run the gauntlet against Shield or something. - Taker returns and is eyeing CM Punk! Awesome stuff. Sadly, their 2009/2010 feud was disappointing, but let's hope this one off match is a lot better.

Good opening segment with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman speaking after Lesnar's shocking return at Elimination Chamber. While the match at WrestleMania is quite obvious at this point, I wonder when Hunter will return and strike back. Great opening contest between World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler. What the hell?!? Mark Henry! Great to see him back, and even better to see a Henry/ADR feud in the works for WrestleMania. Glad Jack Swagger got the victory here over Kofi Kingston. Swagger's new role is a highlight in the product in my eyes, and I would hope to see you go down that same road. A simple squash win for Ryback, nothing special. I'm curious as to what you plan to do with his feud with The Shield at WrestleMania. Great segment with WWE Champion The Rock and John Cena. I'm really not all that interested in seeing Twice in a Lifetime at WrestleMania, but I am interested in seeing how you play it out. You gave way Antonio Cesaro vs. Chris Jericho on free television? You monster. Huge win for Cesaro, and more fuel to the fire for Y2J and Ziggler. Kaitlyn losing here makes me sad. I guess we're getting a rematch with Kaitlyn and Tamina at WrestleMania? Doesn't really interest me. The WWE had the perfect opportunity here to go with a Kaitlyn/AJ program for WrestleMania. And if you don't strike on that, I will cut you. Glad we got the WWE Tag Team Championship match that we should have seen at Elimination Chamber here tonight. Team Hell No retaining is fine. Wonder if you plan on breaking up Kane and Bryan leading up to 'Mania. Another Orton vs. Sheamus match? Since that doesn't seem to be the plan for WrestleMania suddenly, I'm fine with that. So Shield vs. Ryback/Orton/Sheamus at WrestleMania it seems. And lastly, fantastic segment with CM Punk and Mr. McMahon. Oh sh*t! The Undertaker! Looks like 'Taker's match up for WrestleMania is set. Overall, a good edition of RAW. A bit of WrestleMania's direction seems to be clear as of now.

Definitely can't wait until Main Event, Superstars but also I can't wait until Smackdown either
Really just a shame that this is what Ted DiBiase Jr. is reduced to, having to compete on Superstars when he should be competing on RAW and Smackdown but instead he isn't even on TV anymore but here is to hoping you change all of that and you give DiBiase a much bigger role here in your diary because he deserves it, the man is a 3rd generation superstar, and in Legacy he was supposed to be the crown jewel the one that was supposed to break through breaking into a huge star, so here is hoping you turn things around for DiBiase
Same goes for Ezekiel Jackson for that matter who is pretty much in the same boat as Ted DiBiase if you ask me

Friday Night SmackDown - February 22nd, 2013 in Biloxi, Mississippi - SmackDown opens with a recap of the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match this past Sunday where Alberto Del Rio was able to win and retain his title, and avoid a cash-in by Dolph Ziggler thanks to Chris Jericho. But we then see a clip from this past Monday on Raw when the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry returned and attacked Del Rio, standing tall over the World Heavyweight Champion.
- The theme of the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry hits and he makes his way to the ring looking as serious as ever. Henry tells the WWE Universe he is back and has one goal in mind, and that is to become the World Heavyweight Champion again. He says he spent some time away and it only made him hungrier for the gold, and guarantees that he will take it. He says that the Hall of Pain is officially re-opened for business and the next induction will be Alberto Del Rio. However, the crowd pop as the theme of the World Heavyweight Champion hits and Del Rio makes his way out. Del Rio stands on the stage and says that he overcame the odds inside the Elimination Chamber, and if Mark Henry wants to try his chances against him, then he welcomes the challenge. Del Rio says that the World Heavyweight Championship means everything to him because it made him realise that he needs to represent the WWE and please the WWE Universe with everything he does, because they are what matter, and he isn't going to let all that go down the drain by letting Mark Henry take the World Heavyweight Championship. Del Rio says Henry might have come out of nowhere and attacked him on Raw, but he's face-to-face with him now, and he isn't going to back down. The crowd cheer, but that's when the SmackDown General Manager, Booker T walks onto the stage alongside Del Rio. He says that he isn't happy that Henry returned without any warning and attacked his Champion, but he's going to let them settle this in the ring and makes tonight's Main Event. It will be Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler taking on Chris Jericho and Alberto Del Rio!
- United States Champion Antonio Cesaro def. Sin Cara with Rey Mysterio via The Neutralizer.
- Jack Swagger def. Alex Riley via the Ankle Lock. After the match, a mysterious man appeared on the stage, sporting a large moustache and wearing a khaki outfit. He applauds Swagger from the stage as Swagger looks back at him with a nod. Who is this man?
- Ryback def. Damien Sandow via the Shell Shocked.
- Backstage, Matt Striker is alongside Sheamus. Striker asks Sheamus if he would be up for supporting Ryback in his quest against The Shield. Sheamus says that The Shield have wronged him too, so it only seems right that he helps Ryback fight them and get rid of them once and for all. However, Randy Orton walks onto the scene and confronts Sheamus. He says that Sheamus should forget about The Shield and Ryback, because they still have unfinished business, because their matches have never finished without controversy. Sheamus says that he knows he and Orton don't get along, but the bigger problem is that The Shield are causing havoc in the WWE and that needs to be stopped. Orton says he's focused on one thing, and that is putting Sheamus in his place, not for the well-being of the WWE, but for himself. Orton leaves, leaving Sheamus and Striker confused.
- Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett def. WWE Tag Team Champion Daniel Bryan with WWE Tag Team Champion Kane via the Bull Hammer. Bryan's tag team partner, Kane wasn't too pleased when Bryan missed a suicide dive on Barrett and accidentally hit the Big Red Monster instead. This angered Kane and he threw Bryan back into the ring rather aggressively, and as Bryan attempted to apologise through the ropes, he turned around into a vicious Bull Hammer from Wade Barrett. The WWE Tag Team Champions argued after the match.
- Mark Henry & Dolph Ziggler with AJ Lee & Big E Langston def. World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio & Chris Jericho via the World's Strongest Slam on Chris Jericho.
- Having pinned Chris Jericho, Mark Henry stood tall over him. Ziggler stood by Henry's side and started bad mouthing Jericho as he lay on the canvas in pain. Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez left ringside looking back into the ring at the devastating scene. Mark Henry stared up the ramp and screamed "That's how it's done!". He then pointed to the World Heavyweight Championship to a ton of heat. Ziggler still standing tall over Jericho as if he did all the work.

Smackdown Review
- Love that Mark Henry is back and I love that the Hall of Pain is back and open for business yet again and yes Henry should be inducting new people into the Hall of Pain because then that way it makes Mark Henry all that much more dangerous and it makes him look like even more of a dominant monster but then cue the man who was attacked by Henry last week, the World Heavyweight Champion Del Rio comes out and then when it is all about to pop off, Booker makes the announcement that Del Rio and Jericho will face the team of Henry and Ziggler, I love it
- Cesaro the WWE United States Champion defeats Sin Cara, it makes Cesaro look even more dominant because no one can beat Cesaro for that WWE United States Championship not even The Miz and it just goes to show us that Cesaro is going to be WWE United States Champion for a really long time because he has brought back prestige to that title that it has so obviously lacked
- Swagger has been nearly unbeatable since his return winning yet another match beating Alex Riley, and cue Zeb Colter making his debut standing on the stage applauding Swagger and Swagger nodding to him, love it and I can't wait until Colter is by this man's side so that way they can both fix WWE to have it be Swagger's America, WE THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Ryback beats Damien Sandow, I love it because now Ryback is back to his winning ways and now he can hopefully start on a new winning streak
- Love Orton here because now he doesn't care about The Shield or even about Sheamus or Ryback's problems with them because all he cares about now is beating Sheamus one-on-one putting him right back in his place, hopefully that is a sign of Orton turning heel soon and if he is, my good sir, I applaud you because I really do hope you have Orton become The Viper of old which definitely means turning heel, punting superstars in the skull and not caring about anyone or anything except himself and being champion
- The WWE Intercontinental Champion Barrett beating one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Bryan, please tell me that you are turning Kane heel and if you are, then I hope Kane becomes the vicious evil monster that he was always meant to be because Kane is becoming human like the rest of us when he is a monster at heart, he always has been and he always will be, so here is hoping he turns back into the Kane of old when he was first resurrected at the Slammy Awards back in 2011 while with Barrett he seems to be picking up momentum heading into Mania but to be frank and honest Barrett doesn't really even need the Intercontinental Championship anymore but what Barrett needs is to be in the main event being a main eventer
- Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler beating the World Heavyweight Champion Del Rio and Jericho in the main event, I love it but at the same time I won't be surprised if it ends up a Fatal 4-Way Match for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 29 with Del Rio defending against Jericho, Ziggler and Henry

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 4th February 2013...Decent opening promo from Triple H, returning from his absence to kick things off in a big way. The interaction with Paul Heyman was nice, and this six-man tag team match at Elimination Chamber looks big, although hopefully the Shield manage to get the victory against John Cena, Ryback and Triple H. It'd give them outstanding credibility. I do like that you're going with Paul Heyman's consortium being in association with the Shield, though, and hopefully that continues, as it can make for gigantic build growing into WrestleMania XXIX. Up next, fair opening contest with Team Hell No getting the win against the Prime Time Players, but this wasn't really anything new honestly. If you do go for Kane and Daniel Bryan developing tension, I hope you pull the trigger sooner than which WWE appears to be doing in real life. Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara's involvement was strange, but I guess it gives the WWE Tag Team Championship picture something to bring on for Elimination Chamber, or even WrestleMania. I liked the dialogue for CM Punk and Heyman's backstage segment. Next, the Miz defeating Heath Slater was expected, 3MB never really were allowed to get in much momentum in their tenure anyway. The Miz then calling out Antonio Cesaro for the WWE United States Championship was nice, hopefully it ends the feud in two weeks time. Good usage of the three hours, as well, giving Cesaro a separate segment to accept the challenge. Randy Orton with a win against the Big Show in the first-hour main event was fine, but nothing new really. Orton seemingly having an eye out for his former rival, Alberto Del Rio was cool. Interesting to see if we get anymore background with the two, months after their rivalry came to a close. Yay, Jack Swagger on the rise with the Real American gimmick. Hoping to see Zeb Colter come in very shortly. Swagger defeating Zack Ryder was good, and I liked him continuing the hold with disregard after the match. Sheamus then defeating Dolph Ziggler was nothing new honestly, would've been a good match though. I'm glad that you're touching on Chris Jericho feuding with Ziggler again, those two fighting at WrestleMania would be great. Up next, Bob Dallas pinning Wade Barrett with a roll-up was perfectly acceptable. I hope that Wade Barrett manages to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship in their inevitable title encounter, though. Tamina Snuka with a win against Kaitlyn was great, you can easily turn her into the next Glamazon. Such an underrated worker. I loved the Shield's pre-taped promo, they need to do these more on RAW and not just on SmackDown to lazily forward their characters. John Cena and Ryback with a win against Team Rhodes Scholars was needed to reinforce the concept that they are the stronger tag team and the right pairing to take out the Shield at Elimination Chamber, but it's such a shame to see Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow at this level. They should have definitely won the WWE Tag Team Championships at the Royal Rumble. I can't believe how WWE dropped the ball on them. But hopefully good things are ahead for them. Cena's post-promo was decent, too. Finally, a heated confrontation between CM Punk and the Rock, eight days following their encounter at the Rumble. Great exchanges, and I like that Punk is still calling himself the WWE Champion. A rematch at Elimination Chamber seemed predictable, but it's the best decision to run with things, me thinks. Overall, a decent show, but nothing standout.
WWE Main Event: Wednesday 6th February 2013 / WWE Superstars: Thursday 7th February 2013...Daniel Bryan picking up the win against Damien Sandow was another blunder for Sandow, although understandable if you're wanting Bryan to remain a pretty credible WWE Tag Team Champion. Tensai with a win against Brodus Clay doesn't sound so interesting. I'd rather that they start teaming up, honestly. Nevermind. Not a bad episode of Main Event, but nothing standout. Onto Superstars, Justin Gabriel with a win against Michael McGillicutty was fine, but I am really hoping to see McGillicutty start appearing on television, he's such a good asset. The Prime Time Players beating the Usos was expected, nothing new. Not bad.
WWE Friday Night SmackDown: Friday 8th February 2013...Kicking things off, Alberto Del Rio discussing the Elimination Chamber match in nine days for his World Heavyweight Championship was good, and I liked the involvement of each participant. I'm wondering what your plans are for the World Heavyweight Championship program headed into WrestleMania XXIX, it's very different and I like that. Bo Dallas defeating David Otunga wasn't a good opening contest, but it did the job. I would have chosen a stronger match to take place in the opener personally. Tamina Snuka continues her run of dominance with a win against Layla, and I'm liking her domination followed by a challenge to the WWE Divas Champion, Kaitlyn. I hope Tamina gets the win, otherwise once again, her momentum will be doomed. Sheamus and Randy Orton facing off in the first hour main event was a bad move in my mind. I figure that this would be a fantastic feud that would probably put SmackDown back on an equal level (to a degree) as RAW is. Was personally hoping for a match at WrestleMania, but here it only adds a little bit to the hype for Elimination Chamber. Jack Swagger with a win over Yoshi Tatsu was fine, it amazes me that Yoshi is even still on the payroll. Same deal as RAW, here. Oh bloody hell, Team Rhodes Scholars disbanding? I hope that means solo pushes, and not just having them continue losing on their own, with some interaction with one-another from time to time. If they're splitting, keep them apart! Kane with a win against Drew McIntyre was fine, nothing special again here. And finally, a decent main event with Alberto Del Rio and Chris Jericho managing to defeat Big Show and Dolph Ziggler. Overall, not a bad show, but SmackDown severely suffers from a lack of interesting content, and I'm really hoping that you can turn that around, honestly. I think that you can do it. Overall, not really a notable week of WWE television outside of a few matches being set up for Elimination Chamber, and hype continuing as we grow closer to the show. I'm sure it will spice up as we get closer to WrestleMania XXIX, though.
