Good opening promo Desmond Wolfe and the Nexus. Still hoping he becomes WWE Champion on Sunday. Liked the Six Man Tag match to give Daniel Bryan, Heath Slater, and Justin Gabriel the final spots in the Money In The Bank Ladder match. A part of me believes Bryan will win the match, even though I'd like to see Miz get it. Good win for Eve over Gail Kim, and the aftermath was certainly noteworthy. Liked how the attack was orchestrated by Maryse. I also hope we can see Ted DiBiase do a bit more in the diary as it progresses. Santino and Vladimir Kozlov with a victory over Chris Jericho and The Miz was shocking, but I did like the finish. Wonder if it will lead to anything bigger between Jericho and Miz. Great victory for Desmond Wolfe over mystery opponent, Great Khali. Decent win for the Hart Dynasty over The Usos. Simple momentum gainer heading into their match at Money In The Bank against the Straight Edge Society. Lastly, huge win for the Nexus over Randy Orton, Edge, Mark Henry and Sheamus. I do like how dominant they're looking as of now. The dissension among the four superstars was fine as well. Wolfe and Nexus standing tall makes me believe things won't go their way on Sunday. Overall, a fine edition of RAW to send things into Money In The Bank.

I really like the completely new direction you've taken this. I think Desmond Wolfe may possibly take the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank, since this diary is pretty much focused on him and the Nexus. But then again, it's anyone's game, who knows? I love that Kane is challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship here rather than competing in Money in the Bank. I wonder if you're going to go with his feud with the Undertaker. The two Money in the Bank matches have some fine talent, but my picks are Daniel Bryan and possibly Cody Rhodes. I'm glad you're using the Straight Edge Society as an actual tag team, I think they could take the titles here and CM Punk also retains, giving them a big PPV overall. Batista and Rey Mysterio was an epic feud in my opinion, so this will be no different. I'm looking forward to reading Money in the Bank when it arrives.

RAW: - I've been following along with this, more out of surprise that you've kept it up. On with the show. - Solid opening segment and a pretty solid six man tag match. It's an interesting way to get the Nexus members involved in the Money in the Bank match and raises the stakes of the match by including them. It also mixes the match up a lot because I think there's two or three people who could take the briefcase. - Decent diva's match, you've actually got quite a solid diva's feud going on here which is pretty rare. Hopefully Maryse takes the belt at MITB. - Big main event set up with ready made conflict set up. Looking forward to it. - Nice tag match, it's one of thos erare times you can make a guy like Santino look strong without ruining Jericho's credibility. Miz and Jericho are two of the guys who could walk away with the briefcase as well, so to have some heat between them ahead of the match is a smart choice. - Khali does his usual job as the midcard gatekeeper, Wolfe's got a hell of a lot of momentum heading into Money in the Bank and I wouldn't be surprised to see him walking away with the title. - A solid win for the Hart Dynasty but it didn't really do the job of continuing the tag title feud. In fact, this is the third match in the row with no real segments between it. - Solid eight man tag main event, though I think this is one of the rare times that Nexus should have lost to build up the main eventers for the scramble match because right now Wolfe is the only one with any momentum going into the pay per view. I get the reasoning behind it, but I don't really agree with the booking. - A decent show, but it felt really bare. There were some good matches but a total lack of segments and you really need both in a modern WWE diary. Regardless, the Money in the Bank card is looking really good right now, looking forward to it.

Good to see some Nexus members find a way in to the Money in the Bank match, one of them winning it and somehow giving the briefcase to Wolfe would be awesome. Miz turning on Jericho was good, hope it leads to Jericho stopping Miz from winning MITB. Wolfe cheating to win was fine, although the use of Clay made him seem a bit weaker in my opinion. Liked the ending with Wolfe standing tall, looking forward to Money in the Bank.

(Graphic credit: HEELRyan) Tuesday Night NXT | July 13th 2010 Following the opening package, the cameras cut straight to an image of the NXT World Championship Tournament brackets showing that both Kaval, and Richie Steamboat have qualified to the Semi-Finals. Match graphics then show that tonight, Percy Watson will take on Jinder Mahal while Alex Riley will face Mason Ryan in tournament action.
NXT World Championship Tournament Quarter Final - Jinder Mahal def. Percy Watson via pinfall. In the opening match of the night, "Show Time" Percy Watson excited the crowd with his Eddie Murphy-esque qualities but couldn't get the job done in the ring because of outside interference. Jinder, claiming to come from royalty in India looked impressive tonight but after being taken down with a t bone suplex, it looked to be over for him as Percy ran the ropes looking to connect with his big splash finisher. Suddenly, an unknown theme song played as Darren Young & Titus O'Neil made their way on to the ramp. Young & O'Neil claimed it was a sham that the Prime Time Players are not in the World Title Tournament but this Eddie Murphy look a like reject is. O'Neil said he should go down to the ring right now and kick Watson's ass but it looks like their royal friend has got things under control anyway. Percy turned around and walked straight in to a Reverse STO from Jinder, who hooked the leg and picked up the victory. The Prime Time Players laughed on the ramp, as Jinder Mahal advances to the Semi Finals.
The cameras turn to the screen where a video plays highlighting "The Welsh Dragon" Mason Ryan. Ryan makes his NXT debut tonight against Alex Riley!
Maxine def. Jamie Keyes via pinfall. These ladies along with AJ lee and Aksana got in to a tag team brawl backstage on the debut episode of NXT last week which led us to this singles match where AJ was in Jamie's corner while Aksana was in Maxine. Your basic diva's match here with Maxine definitely looking a lot better in the ring than her opponent. Maxine eventually finished the match with the Michinoku Driver. Following the match, Aksana slid in to the ring and started to mock Jamie causing AJ Lee to slide in and tackle Aksana to the ground. The two women went at it till Maxine got involved and attacked AJ. Maxine & Aksana dragged AJ out of the ring and threw her in to the ring steps, leaving both AJ and Jamie out cold.
The cameras turn to the screen where a video plays to counter act the Mason Ryan video from earlier, this time highlighting Alex Riley.
Golden Lovers def. Jacob Novak & Johnny Curtis via pinfall. The impressive tandem of Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega make their debut on NXT after having a successful run in Japan. Their opponents were the two men who failed to advance in the NXT World Championship Tournament last week, in Jacob Novak & Johnny Curtis. The Golden Lovers had a really impressive showing, and eventually Novak left his partner in the ring and made his way up the entrance ramp. Curtis had no chance on his own and fell victim to an awesome double 450 Splash from the Golden Lovers from the same turn buckle. Ibushi hooked the leg to pick up the three count.
The cameras turn to the commentators table where they talk about just getting word from NXT General Manager, Abraham Washington that because of actions earlier, Maxine & Aksana will face Jamie Keyes & AJ Lee next week in tag team action.
NXT World Championship Tournament Quarter Final - Mason Ryan def. Alex Riley via submission. Alex Riley has a University Jock gimmick, complete with letterman's jacket. He cut a promo before Mason made his entrance saying this whole tournament is a disgrace and that he should have been awarded the title from the very start much like Triple H was awarded the World Heavyweight Championship in 2002, because much like Triple H, Riley is the best man for the job. Riley is interrupted by Mason Ryan's theme music, and the big man makes his way down to the ring decked out in a robe with the red dragon of Wales on the back of it. Mason was dubbed "The Welsh Dragon" Once inside the ring, Riley ran Ryan down for interrupting him, and said it'd be a pleasure to defeat him here tonight. Things didn't turn out that way for Alex Riley however because as soon as the bell rang, Mason charged across the ring and speared Riley down to the canvas. Mason then picked Riley up from the canvas, straight in to the air before slamming him down with a running powerslam. Riley is essentially dead at this point, but Mason picks him up once again and lifts him in to the Torture Wreck. Riley screams in pain and quickly taps out.
Just like that the match is over, and match graphics appear on the screen to show that next week we'll see Mason Ryan vs Kaval, and Richie Steamboat vs Jinder Mahal in the Semi-Finals of the NXT World Championship tournament.

Alright, the continuation of the NXT Championship tournament. Jinder Mahal defeating Percy Watson in the opening contest was expected, though I would have liked to have seen a surprise victory from Percy. I enjoyed him around this time. Oh wow, the Prime Time Players already! May be a bit random, but I'll accept it. Wonder who will join up with Percy to challenge Darren Young and Titus O'Neil. Glad to see Maxine with a victory over the Little Boy Robot. I liked the aftermath and hope it's the set up for a sweet AJ/Maxine feud. Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega appearing out of nowhere is puzzling to say the least, but I'm all for building a great tag team division. Good victory for them over Johnny Curtis and Jacob Novak. Novak is crap, but I hope to see Curtis pick up some momentum down the line. Lastly, solid main event victory for Mason Ryan over Alex Riley. Saddens me a bit as I'm a huge fan of Riley's Varsity Villain gimmick from FCW. Hoping for a Kaval/Steamboat Finals match up. Good NXT.
