 WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW - APRIL 15TH, 2013 IN GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA
The show opens up with the usual video package followed by a huge pyrotechnics display. Michael Cole, Jerry 'The King' Lawler and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield welcome us to tonight's episode of Raw from South Carolina. We are reminded that tonight, CM Punk will address the WWE Universe regarding his loss to the Undertaker at WrestleMania. And also, we will see if Ryback has any explanation as to why he attacked John Cena last week on Raw.
The theme of the WWE Champion, John Cena hits to a very mixed reaction. Cena makes his way down to ringside, trying to keep a smile on his face, but something is clearly bothering him. He enters the ring and grabs the microphone before speaking to the WWE Universe. He says last week, he came out here to start the show, was interrupted by Mark Henry, and ended up in a match with Mark Henry. He says that he thought his night was pretty straight forward, and it was, until Ryback threw him a curveball and dropped him with a Shell Shocked. The crowd pop as Cena reminds us all of what happened. Cena says that he was taken by surprise, because he considered Ryback somebody he could trust, somebody he could rely on, but it seems that even trust can be broken by "this", pointing at the WWE Championship around his waist. He says that Ryback made his intentions extremely clear, and he respects that he wants the WWE Championship, because if you're not always looking to be at the top, then why are you here? A smile appears on his face as Cena begins to chuckle, saying that he remembers being as hungry as Ryback was. Albeit, without the catchphrase and the crowd chant to go with it. "Feed me more!" echoes around the arena as Cena laughs. Cena says that he admires Ryback's following, and he's actually pleased to see a young guy breaking through into the WWE the way Ryback has. He is about to continue talking, but before he can, the theme of Ryback hits to a huge pop.
Ryback makes his way down to the ring, climbs in and stands face-to-face with the WWE Champion. Snatching the microphone from Cena's hand, Ryback speaks. He says that last week, he was just doing what he had to do. He is constantly looking for more, always looking to feed on another victim, and it just so happens that his next victim-- is John Cena. Cena backs off and grabs another microphone from Justin Roberts. Cena says Ryback's intensity is admirable, and he knows that Ryback is one touch customer, because the two collided in the Royal Rumble back in January and were the final two men in the match. Cena says that he saw the fire in Ryback's eyes even then, so he knows how much he wants it. Cena says if Ryback wants a shot at his WWE Championship, he isn't going to back down, so as far as he's concerned-- it's on! The crowd erupt as the two get noce-to-nose, but unfortunately, the moment is ruined by the voice of one Brad Maddox, to a ton of heat.
"Gentlemen, if I could please have your attention for just a moment" said Maddox. He says that he's sure the two of them really want to face off against each other, and that's all well and good, but unfortunately. it isn't going to happen tonight because he has plans for them both already. Maddox says that as the Raw Consultant, he took it upon himself to make a match of his own, and reveals that tonight, Ryback and John Cena will be in the same ring-- on the same team! He says it will be John Cena and Ryback, taking on all three members of The Shield in tonight's Main Event. Cena and Ryback look displeased by this announcement while Maddox grins from ear to ear. He wishes them "good luck" and then leaves as the Raw theme plays. Cena and Ryback turn their heads towards each other and Ryback mutters something to Cena which we cannot hear as the scene fades to black.
----------------------------
We return to Raw to see the new World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler on his way to the ring alongside Big E Langston and AJ Lee. Ziggler sits on commentary with AJ as Langston climbs into the ring, ready for the match.
ALBERTO DEL RIO def. BIG E LANGSTON (via Disqualification) » Del Rio's ankle had apparently healed following his match with Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter last week on Raw, but he was clearly still reeling from the loss of his World Heavyweight Championship at the hands of Dolph Ziggler. Del Rio took on Ziggler's right hand man tonight in the form of Big E Langston, and he had a hard time putting away this monstrous individual. Langston kept powering out of Cross Armbreaker attempts, not allowing Del Rio to get the advantage. However, when Del Rio did gain the advantage, it was Dolph Ziggler who ruined the fun and entered the ring to drill Del Rio with the World Heavyweight Championship, ending this one via disqualification.
Ziggler and AJ Lee stood tall over the downed Del Rio, joined soon after by Big E Langston who didn't seem too bothered about the loss. Ricardo Rodriguez climbs in the ring, his ankle still in a cast, and even in injury, tries to protect his friend. However, Ricardo is tossed aside by Ziggler and Big E Langston lifts up Del Rio and plants him with the Big Ending. The two stand over Del Rio with smiles on each of their faces.
----------------------------
Going backstage, Brad Maddox is returning to the General Manager's office where he bumps into Vickie. He greets her as if nothing has happened before she screams "What do you think you're doing?!". Maddox jumps back and asks what's wrong. Vickie says that he has no right making matches like the one he made earlier, but now that he's promised it, she can't let people down now. She says that she wishes Brad would stick to being the Consultant and stop trying to be the General Manager, because that's her job. But then she stops screaming at him, and appears to have an idea. She says that since Brad likes making matches so much, he can be in one-- tonight! The crowd cheer as Brad's jaw drops. He says she can't do that, but Vickie says she can, and tells Brad to go and get his gear because he'll be in action next! Brad frowns and walks away as Vickie chuckles to herself.
----------------------------
We return to Raw to see Brad Maddox already in the ring, awaiting the arrival of his opponent. The WWE Universe pop as the theme of The Miz hits and he makes his way out to the ring, not looking too happy at all.
THE MIZ def. BRAD MADDOX » Clearly angered by the loss of the Intercontinental Championship last week, The Miz was in a foul mood. Maddox was on the receiving end of a beating from Miz, who is most likely embarrassed by his twenty-six hour title reign. Miz finally finishes Maddox off with the Skull-Crushing Finale for the victory.
The referee tends to Maddox as The Miz celebrates his win. He looks more focused and determined than ever, and he clearly isn't finished with Wade Barrett and the Intercontinental Championship.
----------------------------
Backstage, Josh Mathews is standing by alongside Chris Jericho to a huge pop. Mathews asks Jericho about last week's Raw, reminding him that the WWE Universe seemed to be thoroughly enjoying Fandango's theme song even after Jericho had attacked him. Jericho laughs and says that the WWE Universe are some of the greatest fans in the world, because they can always find something great in a superstar, no matter how crappy they really are. Jericho says that he's not going to pretend he wasn't singing along when he got into the back, but unfortunately for Fandango, his theme song is about all he's going to be remembered for when he's finished with him. Jericho leaves to a cheer.
----------------------------
As Jericho makes his way to the ring, he mocks Fandango by performing some ballroom dancing of his own and tries to prompt the singing of Fandango's theme song like last week. While he doesn't get quite the reaction he hoped, a faint tune can be heard coming from the masses here in South Carolina.
CHRIS JERICHO def. UNITED STATES CHAMPION ANTONIO CESARO » With the crowd behind Jericho all the way, he and Antonio Cesaro met once again on Raw, and Jericho was able to avenge his loss to Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown by scoring a victory over the United States Champion. Cesaro put up a good fight, but in the end, it was a Codebreaker that put away the Swiss superstar and allowed Jericho to scratch another victory onto his record.
Jericho celebrated his victory, only to be rudely interrupted by the voice of Fandango. He appears on the stage with his female companion, performing some dance moves as he speaks. He tells Chris Jericho that he has already beaten him once, and it was on the Grandest Stage of them All-- he has nothing else to prove. He tells Chris Jericho that his career will be left in the dust once Fandango gets going, because he will exceed everything Jericho has ever done, and in less time. Jericho shouts some trash at Fandango but we can't here as he is without a microphone. Fandango smirks and says that everyone will remember the name of "Faaaaaan-Daaaaaan-Goooooooo"!
----------------------------
We are once again reminded that tonight's Main Event will see the WWE Champion, John Cena team up with the man who attacked him last week, Ryback to take on all three members of The Shield in a Three-on-Two Handicap Match. We then go backstage to see The Shield on a handheld camera, about to speak to the WWE Universe.
They say that they are an unstoppable force, and that they've already beaten John Cena and Ryback on multiple occasions. Tonight will be no different, because they are The Shield from injustice. And injustice is John Cena and Ryback being in the spotlight when both men are overrated and unnecessary. The Shield says that tonight, we will see John Cena and Ryback put away for good, and they will suffer the same fate that all the others before them have suffered, and that is a loss to The Shield.
----------------------------
We are told that up next, we will see Sheamus take on the Big Show one-on-one, and on SmackDown, Randy Orton will face the Big Show as well. Sheamus and Show make their way to the ring and the match gets under way.
BIG SHOW def. SHEAMUS » Finally, Sheamus was getting his one-on-one chance with the giant that cost him and Randy Orton the match against The Shield at WrestleMania. Sheamus takes the opportunity to really unload on Show, but it isn't easy taking the big man down. Show fights back, really taking the fight to the Celtic Warrior, but Sheamus is looking to take control and prepares to hit a Brogue Kick. But that's when Randy Orton approaches ringside and Sheamus becomes distracted. When Sheamus once again focuses and goes for the Brogue Kick, Show is able to duck underneath and then hit a huge Knockout Punch on Sheamus for the victory.
Did Orton just cost Sheamus the match on purpose? Or was it an accident? Either way, Big Show just beat one of the two people that want get even with him, and Orton is next on SmackDown. Orton slides in the ring as the Big Show leaves and says something to Sheamus who is just getting to his feet. Sheamus shoves Orton hard into the corner and then leaves the ring. This whole situation is at boiling point. SmackDown is something you cannot miss.
----------------------------
We return from a commercial break to see Primo and Epico in the ring, ready for non-title action against the WWE Tag Team Champions, Kane and Daniel Bryan, Team Hell No. The Champions make their way to the ring and we begin the match.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS TEAM HELL NO def. PRIMO & EPICO » With Rosa Mendes looking on in disappointment, the WWE Tag Team Champions run right through the cousins from Puerto Rico with ease, clearly disgruntled by their recent encounters with The Shield as of late. The match came to an abrupt end when Daniel Bryan was able to make Epico submit to the No! Lock for the victory.
Team Hell No celebrated their victory over former WWE Tag Team Champions in Primo and Epico. Can anyone stop this tag team? Because so far, nobody has been able to.
----------------------------
Josh Mathews is once again backstage, this time with Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter. Mathews asks Swagger what is next on his list after losing to Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania and failing to capture the World Heavyweight Championship. Coulter steps in, saying that Mathews shouldn't disrespect Swagger by talking to him like that. Mathews needs to realise he's talking to a "Real American", a man that is protecting our great country day in, day out. A man who is trying to cleanse the United States of its immigrants and its problems. Coulter says Jack Swagger's intentions are still the same, and he will continue to pursue the World Heavyweight Championship, because that is what is needed for them to get their message out there to the World, and save this country from falling even deeper into the abyss. Before the two of them leave, Swagger simply says "We... the people", and the duo depart from the interview area.
----------------------------
Raw returns and we see Tons of Funk in the ring, and Michael Cole says that it's Brodus Clay who is in action tonight, and his opponent is a very angry World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry. These two behemoths clash, next.
MARK HENRY def. BRODUS CLAY » With Tensai and the Funkadactyls by ringside, it seemed as though Brodus Clay may have been going into this one with the advantage, but unfortunately for him, the World's Strongest Man was extremely focused and paid no attention to those on the outside. After a "clash of the titans" of sorts, Mark Henry managed to put the Funkasaurus away with an outstanding show of strength, planting him with the World's Strongest Slam for the victory.
Afterwards, the Funkadactyls and Tensai jumped into the ring to check on their fallen friend. However, Mark Henry was not done, and he clubbed Tensai in the spine, knocking him to the canvas. Henry then picked Tensai up, and hit a second World's Strongest Slam, this time on the man nicknamed Sweet T! Mark Henry stood tall over the team of Clay and Tensai, proving that he is indeed the king of this here jungle.
----------------------------
We are reminded that this Friday on SmackDown, we will see Randy Orton take on the Big Show after Sheamus took on the World's Largest Athlete earlier tonight. And we are also told that the SmackDown General Manager, Booker T has announced that the World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler will take on Alberto Del Rio in a non-title match, this Friday night! Don't miss SmackDown, this Friday, only on SyFy!
----------------------------
It's now time for the Main Event, and the two opposing sides make their entrances. Cena and Ryback enter individually first and the tension could be cut with a knife, but the duo know they must put their differences aside if they are to defeat The Shield here tonight. The Shield make their entrance through the crowd and this Three-on-Two Handicap Match gets going with Ryback and Seth Rollins kicking things off.
THE SHIELD def. WWE CHAMPION JOHN CENA & RYBACK » All five of these men know each other well already, having encountered many times before. The Shield used their usual tactics of isolating one man (in this case it was Ryback) and doing what damage they can, not allowing him to tag in John Cena, as much as the WWE Champion was ready to unleash on the renegade group. Eventually, Ryback had an opportunity to tag in John Cena, but he chose not to, continuing to take on The Shield by himself. Cena eventually blind tagged himself into the match and went to work on the black-clad trio. However, Cena was quickly outnumbered and he tried his best to make the tag, but to everyone's surprise, Ryback walked down the steel steps and refused to tag Cena in. The Shield was then able to hit a Triple Powerbomb on John Cena for a huge victory over the WWE Champion and Ryback.
After the match, Ryback continued to stand on the outside, looking in. The Shield didn't stop there though as they continued to assault John Cena, obviously wanting to take him out for good. However, the crowd erupted when Team Hell No rushed out to the ring to aid Cena! They slid into the ring, but like last week on Raw and SmackDown, The Shield retreated before Team Hell No could get their hands on them. However, this time, Kane and Daniel Bryan chased The Shield into the crowd instead of stopping in the ring. The crowd popped as Team Hell No gave chase to the three Shield members. But then that left Ryback and Cena in the ring...
Ryback watched as Cena struggled to his feet and like last week-- laid him out with a Meat Hook clothesline! Ryback once again grabbed the WWE Championship and raised it above his head standing tall over John Cena for the second week in a row.
----------------------------
We are told that up next, CM Punk will address the WWE Universe on his loss to the Undertaker at WrestleMania. Punk is shown walking down a backstage corridor, on his way to the ringside area as the scene fades away.
We return to Raw to hear the theme of CM Punk who comes out to a mixed reaction. Punk approaches ringside with little to no expression on his face and enters the ring holding a microphone. He begins to speak, and tells us all that ever since losing to The Rock at the Royal Rumble, he has dropped further and further into obscurity, despite his best efforts. He says that after having the longest reigning WWE Championship reign of the last decade, he felt that he would forever be at the top, but again, he was shafted by The Rock and John Cena, and his efforts to make a name for himself at WrestleMania were thwarted by the Undertaker. Punk says that they've given him a live microphone tonight, so this could very well be another "pipe bomb", but he doesn't want to "pipe bomb", he's just going to get straight to the point. Punk says that he's been battling with injuries for many months now, and he's not a guy who will admit when he's hurting. But it's time to come clean and say that he is injured, and he has no option but to take some time away from the WWE and put his goals on hold. Punk jokes that he's sure the "largely versatile" John Cena and the "supreme speaker" Ryback will surely keep us all entertained while he's gone. He gets a decent laugh and Punk says that he's not going to be one of those guys that goes away and has some kind of realisation and comes back a completely different person. He mocks Cena's "heel turn" motion and says there'll be none of that for CM Punk, because he is who he is, and who he is is someone who says what he likes, when he likes, and knows that he's the best in the world. Punk says that when he comes back, he's gunning right for the WWE Championship, and promises to have an even longer reign than before, and finally get the respect he deserves from the superstars and the WWE Universe. As Punk is about to continue he is interrupted by the sound of a theme that sent the WWE Universe into a frenzy. The theme - of Brock Lesnar.
The WWE Universe are going nuts as Brock Lesnar comes out onto the stage, and to everyone's confusion, including CM Punk's, Paul Heyman comes out right after him. Lesnar and Heyman walk down the ramp and enter the ring, Punk asking them what they're doing out here. Heyman grabs a microphone and begins to speak, saying that he's sad that CM Punk is going to have to take time off, because it's always disappointing when one of his clients becomes injured. Heyman says he and Brock wanted to come out here and give Punk a proper send-off, because it's the least he deserves after having such an incredible title reign and success as of late. Heyman offers his hand to CM Punk and thanks him for being one of the best "Heyman guys" he's worked with. Punk shakes Heyman's hand with a smirk and Heyman raises Punk's hand as Brock looks on, also with a smirk, nodding his head. Heyman then lets go of Punk's wrist and says it's probably time to go now, and wishes CM Punk a speedy recovery, and hopes to see him back soon. Punk tells Heyman he will be back soon, and when he is, they'll take it to the top again and show all these people why he is the best in the world. He gets a mixed reaction. Heyman turns to leave, but Lesnar stops him. Lesnar says something we can't hear to Heyman and Heyman makes a motion as if to say "go right ahead". Lesnar steps up to CM Punk and extends his hand like Heyman did. Punk takes it and the two share a firm handshake as Heyman looks on. Then suddenly-- Brock lifts CM Punk up-- F-5! Paul Heyman screams at him, asking him what he's doing. Lesnar simply looks down at the fallen Punk and laughs to himself. The crowd are in complete shock. Lesnar looks at Heyman and sees him in disbelief at what he's just done. But it seems as though Lesnar isn't finished, as he picks Punk up, his limp body barely getting to his feet, only for Brock to lock in the Kimura Lock! Heyman continues to scream at Brock as he wrenches away on CM Punk's arm. Lesnar looks over at Heyman and then does the unthinkable-- he breaks Punk's arm! Michael Cole shouts that Lesnar has just broken Punk's arm as Punk rolls around the canvas in pure agony. Lesnar gets to his feet and watches as Punk squirms. Heyman holds his head in his hands, mouthing "What have you done?" to himself over and over again. The crowd give Lesnar a lot of heat as he stands over the crippled CM Punk. Monday Night Raw fades to an unthinkable close, Lesnar's sadistic grin as the final image of tonight's broadcast.

Ryback wants the WWE Championship more than anything else and he doesn't care who he has to go through to get it even if it's Cena and I am glad that he made a statement by attacking Cena yet again holding up the WWE Championship, maybe perhaps it is an omen of things to come, perhaps Ryback is poised destined to become WWE Champion sooner or later but it all depends on just who he will beat to become champion especially if it isn't Cena? Because Cena could lose the WWE Championship at some point even if he somehow manages to beat Ryback
It seems Lesnar attacks Punk and lays him out with an enormous F-5 and then to put icing on the cake, Lesnar puts Punk in the Kimura Lock breaking Punk's arm without any hesitation without any emotion or remorse and now that Brock has seemingly put CM Punk on the shelf, it makes me wonder if Heyman knew what Lesnar was gonna do all along or if Heyman planned on turning on Punk because if that is the case, then I see a Punk/Lesnar feud whenever Punk comes back
It seems the seeds were set for a CM Punk face turn and if that is the case, I am all for it, because personally Punk is at his best when he is a face anyway but as for Lesnar since he did that to Punk, I wonder how Lesnar is going to top himself now, if Lesnar will just feud with someone else in the meantime before Punk comes back
The Shield are unbeatable, like no one has been able to beat this team, hell not even Cena and Ryback could do it, then no one in the WWE can stop the Shield and I for one believe in the Shield because they are undefeated still in WWE, they are untouchable
Mark Henry beating Clay and then laying out both Clay and Tensai after the match was great, because it just goes to show you just how much of a beast Henry is and that he has pretty much been on a role since WrestleMania 29, so I wonder if Henry will set his sights on the World Heavyweight Championship once again? Because Henry if anything he deserves at least another World Heavyweight Championship reign especially after the reign he had in 2011, he could use another one before he calls it a career
If anyone deserves to turn heel out of either Sheamus or Randy Orton, I would want it to be Orton because he has been face for so long and as a heel, Orton is more charismatic more dangerous more emotionless more remorseless and he is vicious as a heel too punting superstars in the skull not caring about the fans, Orton needs to get back to that but personally I feel Sheamus is better a heel and why I say that The Great White Sheamus is better off being heel? Because Sheamus as a heel he was dominant not to mention he was vicious, dangerous and barbaric laying out superstars with lead pipes and Sheamus was just emotionless and remorseless with his opponents as a heel and not to mention Sheamus' character of being a Celtic Warrior doesn't scream face, it screams heel
And I see it being Ziggler vs Del Rio vs Swagger in a Triple-Threat Match at Extreme Rules, but in what type of a Triple-Threat Match will it be? A Triple-Threat Ladder Match or a Triple-Threat Steel Cage Match or just a regular singles Triple-Threat Match with no stipulation, either way these 3 men I see them facing off against one another with Dolph's title reign being in jeopardy before it even begins because Ziggler doesn't even have to be pinned to lose his title, because either Del Rio could pin Swagger or vice versa, and Ziggler could lose his title that way

Hey, cutie. I like your lay out. We should do something some time. Great opening segment with WWE Champion John Cena and Ryback. Very glad that it doesn't appear that Ryback will be going full on heel. Good match between Alberto Del Rio and Big E Langston to kick things off. The disqualification finish was fine, liked the aftermath with Dolph and co. standing tall. A bit face-ish of Vickie Guerrero to punish Brad Maddox for making tonight's main event. A good lead in, though, to the next match. Decent win for The Miz over Maddox. I certainly hope Miz doesn't regain the Intercontinental Championship. Chris Jericho and United States Champion Antonio Cesaro having a match on free television is fine, but it seems like something that really should be saved for pay-per-view. Jericho with the win was fine, but I really do hope that you can resurrect Cesaro's momentum. Fandango's promo afterwards was decent. Next, good victory for Big Show over Sheamus. Randy Orton's involvement was intriguing, and I do hope it's the beginning of an eventual heel turn. He desperately needs it. Team Hell No defeating Primo and Epico, simple momentum builder for the WWE Tag Team Champions. I am curious to see who steps up as the next challengers for Kane and Daniel Bryan. Jack Swagger remaining in the World Heavyweight Championship picture is fine, but I really do hope that he doesn't reclaim it. Good win for Mark Henry over Brodus Clay. Enjoyed him taking out Tons of Funk. Huge main event, and I'm a bit surprised to see The Shield go over clean. Ugh, Ryback is turning heel, isn't he? Nonetheless, great win for The Shield, and the post-match stuff with Team Hell No was great. Ryback standing tall for the second week in a row is fine, but I really do wish he remained face, or at least a tweener, for this program with Cena. Or I could be totally wrong and you are going down that route, but it doesn't seem like it right now. Lastly, incredible closing segment with CM Punk's "send off." Brock Lesnar attacking him was legitimately unexpected. Loved how Heyman was completely unaware of what would happen. Puts Lesnar over more as an uncontrollable beast. I suppose Punk will be returning as a face for revenge on Lesnar. Certainly not against it. Overall, a great edition of RAW. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the diary plays out.

 WWE MAIN EVENT - APRIL 17TH, 2013 IN KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE
After the usual opening package and pyrotechnics display, WWE Main Event officially goes on air and we are greeted by the commentary team of Michael Cole and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield, who explain that The Miz will be competing tonight and therefore will not be on commentary. We are told that he will be participating in a match that was announced on WWE.com during the Raw broadcast - a Ten-Man Over-the-Top-Rope Battle Royal to determine Wade Barrett's opponent for the Intercontinental Championship. And that match is going to kick things off right now!
----------------------------
Ten WWE superstars stand in the ring; faces like The Miz, R-Truth and Kofi Kingston just to name a few. The bell rang and we got underway with this huge match.
#1 CONTENDERSHIP BATTLE ROYAL; SIN CARA def. THE MIZ, R-TRUTH, KOFI KINGSTON, HEATH SLATER, DREW MCINTYRE, JINDER MAHAL, JUSTIN GABRIEL, CODY RHODES & DAMIEN SANDOW » A brilliant Battle Royal featuring ten possible contenders for Wade Barrett's Intercontinental Championship, and the winner will receive their match this Friday on SmackDown. The first person to be eliminated was Justin Gabriel who was thrown over the top by 3MB. 3MB didn't last much longer as both Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre were eliminated by R-Truth and Kofi Kingston. Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow then managed to eliminate R-Truth before Kofi Kingston dumped Damien Sandow over the top rope. Sin Cara eliminated Heath Slater from the match with a hurricanrana and we were down to four. Kofi Kingston fell victim to a Disaster Kick from Rhodes which caused him to stumble and then be dumped over the top rope by the former Champion, The Miz. Somehow, Rhodes managed to eliminate The Miz from the match, only to be dropkicked right over the top himself by Sin Cara who claimed the victory as his own.
The WWE Universe cheered as the masked luchadore was declared the winner and will take on Wade Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship this Friday on SmackDown! The Miz and Cody Rhodes looked on from the outside in disappointment.
----------------------------
Backstage, Josh Mathews is alongside the Intercontinental Champion himself, Wade Barrett. He asks Barrett how he feels knowing that his next challenger will be Sin Cara. Barrett says it doesn't matter if it's Sin Cara, The Miz or anybody, they will all fall victim to the Bull Hammer and feel the wrath of the Barrett Barrage. Barrett says that this Friday, Sin Cara will have his mask knocked off his head he's going to hit him that hard.
----------------------------
Returning to WWE Main Event, we see the Prime Time Players already in the ring ready to compete. The theme of Brodus Clay hits which can only mean we are about to see the arrival of Tons of Funk. They dance their way to the ring and we have ourselves a tag team match.
TONS OF FUNK def. PRIME TIME PLAYERS » After getting manhandled at the hands of Mark Henry on Raw, Tons of Funk were looking to regain some momentum, and they did just that here tonight when they took on Titus O'Neil and Darren Young. After a decent amount of offence from the Prime Time Players, they unfortunately fell victim to dual big splashes, allowing Brodus Clay and Tensai to pick up the victory.
Closing the show on a happy note, Tons of Funk celebrated their victory and even invited some kids by ringside into the ring to join them in dance. The Funkadactyls joined in too and WWE Main Event faded to a close.

Good opening promo between John Cena and Ryback, like that they'll be facing off against The Shield tonight but I think it is obvious that Ryborg will do something. At least I think it will be. Alberto Del Ree-hoe winning via disqualification is a good call, Ziggles is a bitch. Although I love him. I wonder what you'll do with Jack Swagger if he is out of the equation, though, or is he still in? I dunno. Odd segment between Maddox and Vickie, although I could see some future tension growing stronger and Maddox taking over the job. That'd be nice. Good interview and match for Chris Jericho, poor Antonio Cesaro though. Please do something grander with him down the road. Fandango's promo was a nice touch, not sure how long this feud can drag out though. I do like Fandango, but, I dunno. He is just too odd for me to consider a legitimate threat at some point. Big Show defeating Sheamus thanks to Orton's distraction is good, and I hope you turn Orton heel. Please. Do it. Team Hell No getting the win. They need a real threat. Mark Henry beating Brodus Clay is good, and I like him also taking out Sweet T! Makes him look strong still, but I wonder what you are going to do with him now. The Shield getting the win is great for them, and I liked all the post match stuff with Team Hell No and Ryback really solidifying himself as a heel. I do like the idea of him being heel unlike some people... (cough, Ryan, cough). WELP, HERE COMES THE PAIN! Great promo to end the show and I love the Lesnar/Punk feud as I've wanted it for a while in reality, albeit my desire for Lesnar as the face in it. A good show, sir.

 WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN - APRIL 19TH, 2013 IN KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE
SmackDown comes to our screens fresh from its opening package and pyrotechnics display. We are greeted by Josh Mathews and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield who remind us that tonight's Main Event will see the World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler take on the former Champion, Alberto Del Rio in a non-title match. But first, we hear the theme of Del Rio himself to a huge pop from the WWE Universe. He comes out alongside Ricardo Rodriguez with a smile on his face and enters the ring ready to speak.
Del Rio tells us that while he is upset that he lost the World Heavyweight Championship, he doesn't blame Dolph Ziggler for doing it how he did. Del Rio says he knows how it feels to cash in the Money in the Bank contract and become the World Champion, and so he shares that feeling with Ziggler. The feeling of success, the feeling of adrenaline. Del Rio says he admires that, but that does not change the fact that he wants his World Heavyweight Championship back, and he's going to do everything he can to get it. He says that tonight, he goes one-on-one with Ziggler, and he's hoping that he can get the victory tonight and prove that when he's fully healed and ready to compete, he can beat Ziggler. He says it's a whole different ball game when it's a straight up one-on-one match and not a cheap cash in victory. He says Ziggler will get a reality check tonight in front of this Tennessee crowd. But Del Rio is interrupted, and not by Dolph Ziggler.
The theme of Jack Swagger hits to a ton of heat from the WWE Universe and many wonder why he is out here. Swagger, followed by Zeb Coulter enter the ring as Del Rio stands his ground. Coulter says that Del Rio seems to think that they're little feud is over, but he is wrong. He says that the problem was never resolved and Del Rio is still making this country a disgrace. Coulter says Del Rio doesn't deserve a rematch at all, because a World Heavyweight Championship match should be given to a "real American". He motions to Swagger, explaining that Jack Swagger is the perfect candidate for the World Heavyweight Championship. Del Rio says that Swagger and Coulter are finished, he wants nothing more to do with them because he has bigger goals. Coulter tells Del Rio he has no choice, because once Swagger becomes the World Heavyweight Champion, he will be able to send Del Rio packing back to where he came from. Swagger takes the microphone and tells Del Rio that he better watch his back, because soon, he's going to get what's coming to him, and he promises to wipe him from America like the piece of dirt he is. Swagger drops the microphone and leaves with Coulter to his theme as Del Rio and Rodriguez look on.
----------------------------
We return to SmackDown to see the Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett having made his entrance and we are reminded of what happened this past Wednesday on WWE Main Event. We see Sin Cara's victory during a Ten-Man Battle Royal to determine the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship and Sin Cara receives his title match tonight! Cara makes his entrance and this match begins.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH; INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION WADE BARRETT def. SIN CARA » Sin Cara was pumped to receive his first shot at the Intercontinental Championship, but unfortunately for him, Wade Barrett was rested up and much fresher, Sin Cara having only a couple of days to regenerate. After an impressive showing,. Cara fell victim to the Bull Hammer, allowing Wade Barrett to take the victory and retain his title.
After the match, Wade Barrett celebrated his victory, but decided he wants to send a message to anyone else wanting to get their hands on his title. He lifted Sin Cara up and was about to hit a second Bull Hammer when suddenly-- the theme of Christian hits! Barrett drops Cara and prepares himself. Christian emerges on the stage and rushes down to ringside, sliding into the ring. He begins to trade blows with Barrett but eventually gets the upper hand and sends Barrett over the top rope with a clothesline. The crowd erupt as Christian is all fired up. Barrett retreats up the ramp and realises he left his title behind. Christian grabs the Intercontinental Championship and raises it above him. It's clear what Christian's intentions are upon his return.
----------------------------
We are shown a quick recap of what happened on Raw when Brock Lesnar viciously assaulted CM Punk out of nowhere after Punk's "farewell speech" of sorts, announcing he would be taking time off. Lesnar hit Punk with the F-5 and then went on to break Punk's arm with the Kimura Lock. We are told that Brock Lesnar will address the WWE Universe this Monday on Raw.
----------------------------
The trio of Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre, collectively known as 3MB were standing in the ring, apparently ready to compete. We hear the theme of The Great Khali, and we're about to see him taken on Drew McIntyre it seems.
DREW MCINTYRE def. THE GREAT KHALI » This was a shocking result to say the least. Khali became distracted when Slater and Mahal began harassing Hornswoggle and Natalya on the outside. This allowed McIntyre to deliver a thunderous big boot to the Punjabi Giant and follow it up with a Future Shock DDT for the victory.
McIntyre left the ring and celebrated his victory with his fellow team-mates. Natalya and Hornswoggle checked on Khali as the scene faded away.
----------------------------
We are reminded that tonight, we will see Randy Orton take on the Big Show after Sheamus took on the World's Largest Athlete on Raw. We see a clip of Orton coming down to ringside and distracting Sheamus, costing him the match. We then see Orton walking down a corridor as the match is up next.
----------------------------
Randy Orton and Big Show make their entrances, ready for the match. However, the theme of Sheamus hits shortly after and he strolls down wearing casual clothes and sits at commentary for the match.
RANDY ORTON def. BIG SHOW (via Disqualification) » Orton and Big Show fought tooth and nail, despite Sheamus' presence. Sheamus spoke of how he respected both guys, but doesn't like either of them. He says he's just out here to see how it goes. Orton takes a big advantage early on, but Big Show battles back and throws Orton out of the ring on the side near the announce table. Orton gets to his feet and instead of returning to the ring, confronts Sheamus. They get in each other's face and out of nowhere, Orton slaps Sheamus across the face. What's gotten into him? Sheamus takes none of it and drops Orton with a right hand which gets a big pop and the referee rings the bell.
A brawl ensues on the outside, things finally at boiling point between Orton and Sheamus. But almost as if he was feeling left out, Big Show joined the fray and threw both men around like rag dolls. Show threw Sheamus shoulder first into the steel steps and then grabbed Orton by the throat before Chokeslamming him down to the arena floor. It seems the Big Show stands tall once again. Will these three ever settle the score?
----------------------------
Backstage, Matt Striker is alongside the WWE Tag Team Champions, Team Hell No to a big cheer. Striker asks them what they plan to do with The Shield. Bryan says The Shield have gotten involved in their business far too much, so now it's time to return the favour. Kane says The Shield need to watch their backs, because they're going to get their own dose of "justice". Kane tells them to try and attack them again on Raw, because they'll get a surprise if they do. The team walk off and the scene fades away.
----------------------------
We return to SmackDown to see a recap of what happened at the top of the show when Jack Swagger interrupted Alberto Del Rio. Then we cut to ringside where R-Truth is seen in the ring already and then we hear the theme of Jack Swagger. Swagger and Coulter come out and the bell rings for this next contest.
JACK SWAGGER def. R-TRUTH » Swagger seemed more determined than ever coming off his confrontation with Alberto Del Rio earlier. The always impressive R-Truth tried his best to combat the former World Champion, but in the end, he was forced to submit to the devastating Patriot Lock.
Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter celebrated the victory, and Swagger made motions that suggest he's coming for the World Heavyweight Championship. They leave as the referee tends to R-Truth.
----------------------------
Backstage, the Divas Champion, Kaitlyn is talking to fellow Diva, Layla. However, they are interrupted by Tamina Snuka and The Bella Twins. Tamina warns Kaitlyn that her time as Divas Champion is coming to an end soon. Kaitlyn tells Tamina to bring it and the two almost get into a fight, but Layla and The Bella Twins break it up. But then The Bella Twins start attacking Layla, and an all-out brawl takes place. Backstage officials break up the five divas as we fade to black.
----------------------------
We're apparently set for a tag team match up next as The Usos are in the ring ready to compete. We hear the theme of Damien Sandow, signalling the entrance of Team Rhodes Scholars as the match gets under way.
TEAM RHODES SCHOLARS def. THE USOS » Despite having a bit of a bad streak as of late, Team Rhodes Scholars pulled this one out of the bag, defeating the brothers Uso. After some isolation techniques, Damien Sandow was able to plant Jimmy Uso with the Terminus for the victory.
Team Rhodes Scholars celebrate in typical fashion, performing a handshake and then spinning Sandow into a cartwheel. They looked impressive here tonight on SmackDown, but can they keep it up? Could they be future WWE Tag Team Champions?
----------------------------
Matt Striker is once again backstage, this time with the World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler and his companions, Big E Langston and AJ Lee. Striker asks Ziggler what he thinks to Del Rio's comments he made earlier about not being able to beat him one-on-one and face-to-face. Ziggler says Del Rio is deluded, because he could beat him whenever, wherever he wanted. Ziggler says Del Rio will be lucky to even touch the title again, let alone be Champion. He says that the only reason Del Rio got to touch it on Raw was because it was bouncing off his head. Ziggler smirks, as do AJ and Big E. AJ cuts in, saying that "her Ziggy" will be the World Heavyweight Champion forever, and the three of them will single-handedly take the WWE by storm. AJ says if anyone wants to try and dispute that, they can speak to Big E about it. Big E steps forward and gets in Striker's face. Striker quickly flees and Big E laughs with Ziggler and AJ. The scene then fades and we are told the Main Event is up next!
----------------------------
It's time for the Main Event and Alberto Del Rio comes out first. He is followed by the World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler and this non-title bout can finally take place. Ziggler gives AJ Lee a big kiss before the match as she clutches his World Heavyweight Championship to her chest.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DOLPH ZIGGLER vs. ALBERTO DEL RIO WENT TO A NO CONTEST » Del Rio was clearly still frustrated from what happened earlier with Jack Swagger, not to mention he still hadn't gotten clear revenge on Ziggler for taking his World Heavyweight Championship, plus assaulting him on Raw this past Monday. The two went back and forth, proving to be worthy opponents. Ziggler looked to be getting the advantage until Del Rio somehow battled back, going for a Cross Armbreaker. But then out of nowhere, here comes Jack Swagger to spoil the fun! Swagger slips in the ring and delivers a huge boot to the skull of Del Rio and the referee rings the bell.
Swagger doesn't stop there, grabbing Ziggler and even throwing him to the canvas with a big amateur wrestling slam. Big E Langston slides into the ring, but is met by a boot to the gut from Swagger and a gutwrench suplex from the self-proclaimed "real American". Swagger then grabs Del Rio by the ankle and locks in the Patriot Lock! Dolph Ziggler manages to escape alongside Big E Langston and retreats up the ramp, looking on holding the back of his head. Swagger releases the hold on Del Rio and looks right at Ziggler. Swagger tells Ziggler he wants the World Heavyweight Championship. SmackDown fades to a close on a shot of Del Rio's face, the former Champion screaming in agony.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW - APRIL 22ND, 2013 IN LONDON, ENGLAND
Monday Night Raw opens with its usual opening package and pyrotechnics display for the fans here in London, England! Michael Cole, Jerry 'The King' Lawler and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield welcome us to the show and assure us that England is about to get rocked by the WWE. We are told that we will get a rematch from SmackDown as the World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler will take on Alberto Del Rio and this time, Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter are banned from ringside. We are also told that we will see the WWE Champion, John Cena confront Ryback over his actions the past two weeks. But first, the WWE Universe are shocked to hear the theme of none other... than Brock Lesnar.
There's a ton of boos from the London crowd as Brock Lesnar makes his way onto the stage, followed by a seemingly reluctant Paul Heyman. The duo approach ringside, Lesnar with a sick smirk across his face. We are shown a quick recap of what Brock did to CM Punk last week, breaking the former WWE Champion's arm right after he had made his farewell speech. Michael Cole says that CM Punk did indeed suffer a broken arm and is still being treated by doctors. They'll give us a full update when they get it. Lesnar and Heyman jump into the ring and Lesnar grabs a microphone before beginning to speak. Lesnar says that last week, he hopes everyone was watching closely, because it was proof of just how dangerous and unpredictable he really is. He says that what he did to CM Punk was necessary, because he was holding him back. "How? Let me tell you" said Lesnar. He says that CM Punk had become weak ever since losing to The Rock at the Royal Rumble. He reminds us that Punk went on to lose to The Rock again at Elimination Chamber and then to the Undertaker at WrestleMania, proving how weak he truly was. Lesnar says he couldn't afford to have a weakling like Punk under contract by Heyman. He beckons Heyman into the picture who reluctantly walks to Lesnar's side with his head hung. Lesnar tells Heyman to explain why they did what they did last week. Heyman tries to tell Brock no, but Lesnar shoves the microphone in Heyman's face, forcing him to speak. Heyman reluctantly says CM Punk was weak and needed to be dealt with forcefully, and Brock Lesnar did just that. Lesnar laughs and says "Exactly!". Lesnar says that with that dealt with, it's time to move on to bigger and better things. He says that he isn't going to stay longer than he needs to because the WWE Universe aren't even worthy of his presence. There was a loud boo, followed by a "CM Punk!" chant, but no sign of Punk. Lesnar laughs and drops the microphone before leaving with Heyman to his theme. Has Lesnar disposed of CM Punk for good? Is there anyone that can stop this monster?
----------------------------
Returning to Raw, we see the Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett approaching the commentary desk for the opening contest. Barrett being from England gets a decent reaction as he takes his seat next to JBL. We cut to the ring to see David Otunga in the ring, ready for action. The theme of Christian hits to a huge pop from the London crowd as we are ready to see Christian's return match after he made his comeback this past Friday on SmackDown.
CHRISTIAN def. DAVID OTUNGA » Looking as good as ever, Christian put on a show for the WWE Universe and proved that he hadn't lost a step. With Wade Barrett looking on with interest, Christian was able to put away the Harvard Graduate with the Killswitch and pick up his first victory since making his return.
The WWE Universe celebrated with Christian as he raised his hands high. Wade Barrett stood up from his chair and glared at Christian, who returned the glare with a motion that suggested he was coming for Barrett's Intercontinental Championship. Barrett stormed off around the ring, Christian not taking his eyes off him as the scene goes backstage.
----------------------------
Josh Mathews is backstage with Sheamus to a huge pop from the WWE Universe. Mathews asks Sheamus what his relationship is with Randy Orton after everything that's happened. Sheamus says there is no "relationship" because what Orton has done is he's made it personal. He says at WrestleMania, contrary to belief, the Big Show was not the reason they lost, it was Orton trying to steal the spotlight. Sheamus says he doesn't pick fights with just anyone, he needs a reason, and Sheamus says Orton gave him that reason on SmackDown when he slapped him in the face. Sheamus says Orton will get what's coming to him soon and then leaves. We are told that later on tonight, Sheamus will take on Mark Henry.
----------------------------
Raw comes back to our screens and we see the Prime Time Players making their entrance to some heat. They are followed out by Tons of Funk and we have a tag team match on our hands.
PRIME TIME PLAYERS def. TONS OF FUNK » The fans were really into Tons of Funk here tonight, and Brodus and Tensai were clearly feeding off the energy of the crowd. However, the devious pairing of Darren Young and Titus O'Neil would not allow the dancing duo to get the advantage and following a huge collision between Titus and Brodus which took Clay out of the ring. The duo lifted up Tensai and planted him with a huge double spinebuster and Young covered him for the victory.
The Prime Time Players received a ton of heat as they raised their hands in victory over Tons of Funk, but this was a huge victory for the pair. The team celebrated all the way up the ramp as the scene fades to black.
----------------------------
We are shown the office of Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox, when in walks Booker T and Theodore Long. The four of them greet each other, but before they can get into a discussion, they are interrupted by Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter who come in and are furious with the decision to ban Swagger from ringside in the Del Rio/Ziggler match. Vickie says it was a joint decision between her and Booker T since Swagger is far too dangerous and keeps ruining matches. Swagger says he still deserves a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship, whether it's against Del Rio or Ziggler, he doesn't care. Suddenly, Booker T chimes in and says "how about both?". Swagger looks at Booker confused, as do the rest of the people in the room. Booker says that Swagger wants it so bad, and Del Rio still has his rematch clause, then why don't we have a Triple Threat Match at Extreme Rules for the World Heavyweight Championship? The crowd erupt as everyone looks to be thinking about the situation. Vickie says she likes it, as do Maddox and Long. Swagger seems to be the only one who doesn't as he says he shouldn't have to compete against two people. Booker says if Swagger wants the title shot, then he takes this or nothing. Swagger and Coulter storm off, the match seemingly made.
----------------------------
Raw returns to see Alberto Del Rio making his entrance alongside Ricardo Rodriguez to a big pop. Del Rio has his left leg bandaged from the Patriot Lock on SmackDown this past Friday. Dolph Ziggler then makes his entrance and we get this match going.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DOLPH ZIGGLER def. ALBERTO DEL RIO » After Friday's encounter was ruined by Jack Swagger, this one was certain to go without a hitch. These two wrestled a fantastic match, back and forth all the way. Del Rio looked to be closing in on a victory, but that's when AJ Lee hopped onto the ring apron and distracted the former World Champion. The distraction was enough as Ziggler rolled Del Rio up with a handful of tights and stole the victory.
The crowd booed as Ziggler retreated with Big E Langston and AJ Lee by his side. However, he didn't get very far as Jack Swagger burst onto the scene and hits Ziggler in the back of the head. Swagger delivered a right hand to Big E Langston, stunning him and then rolled Ziggler back into the ring, sliding in after him. Swagger grabbed Ziggler's ankle and was about to fully lock in the Patriot Lock, but out of nowhere - enziguiri from Alberto Del Rio! Swagger rolled out of the ring holding the back of his head as Del Rio looked on. Ziggler also quickly crawled out of the ring into the arms of Big E Langston. These three men will go at it at Extreme Rules for the World Heavyweight Championship!
----------------------------
WWE Extreme Rules will air on May 19th from St. Louis, Missouri! Don't miss it LIVE on Pay-Per-View!
----------------------------
The United States Champion, Antonio Cesaro is making his way to the ring and Justin Roberts announces the following contest as a United States Championship Match. His opponent is then revealed as the returning Evan Bourne! The WWE Universe erupt as Bourne makes his way onto the stage, returning in front of this London crowd. The bell rings and we have a United States Championship match.
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH; EVAN BOURNE def. UNITED STATES CHAMPION ANTONIO CESARO » Bourne was returning from a broken foot which kept him out for over a year, but now he's back and better than ever. Despite Cesaro's best efforts, the speed of Evan Bourne was too much for the Swiss superstar to handle and after a swift jumping kneed to the jaw, Bourne hopped up the top rope and astonished the WWE Universe with his signature Shoot Star Press. "AirBourne!" screamed JBL as it connected and Bourne hooked the leg for the three count.
To the delight of those in attendance, Evan Bourne was handed the United States Championship and declared the new Champion, Cesaro leaving the ring in disappointment. In what was an incredible return, Evan Bourne is back on the map in a big way. He raised the United States Championship above his head as Raw continued.
----------------------------
Following a commercial break, we are shown a recap of last week's Raw where Team Hell No chased off The Shield following the Main Event, and then from what Team Hell No had to say on SmackDown. We return to Raw and Team Rhodes Scholars are in the ring, ready to compete. Team Hell No make their entrances shortly after.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS TEAM HELL NO def. TEAM RHODES SCHOLARS » These two teams are very familiar with each other, but it was the WWE Tag Team Champions that came out on top in this one after a Chokeslam and Diving Headbutt combination on Cody Rhodes.
Team Hell No celebrated their victory, but not for long as the theme of The Shield began to hit to a big reaction from the WWE Universe. Kane and Daniel Bryan looked around the arena and we then see Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reign emerge from the crowd. They walk down the steps and hop over the barricade, surrounding the ring. They jump onto the apron when suddenly - GONG! The arena goes nuts as the lights turn off. After a few seconds, another gong is heard and the lights return to normal, only to reveal none other than the Undertaker standing alongside his brother and Bryan. The WWE Universe is going crazy as The Shield drop down from the ring apron immediately. They regroup and seem to be discussing a possible approach, but they decide to leave, much like they did on the Raw following WrestleMania. The Undertaker is back to fight alongside Team Hell No!
----------------------------
Backstage, we see Josh Mathews, now standing alongside Fandango who gets a mixed reaction, but mostly boos. Mathews asks Fandango if he knows what he's happy with a WrestleMania victory over Chris Jericho or if he wants even more. Fandango says that he could beat Chris Jericho at any time, any place, over and over again. He says that Jericho just doesn't have the flamboyance or the showmanship that he does, and that's why he can never beat him. Before Fandango can continue - Jericho attacks! Out of nowhere, Jericho starts unloading on Fandango to the delight of the crowd. He throws him into the interview set, taking it down. Jericho then takes Mathews' microphone and says "Fandingbat just got Jerichoed!". Jericho then starts "Fandangoing" and singing Fandango's theme song as he marches off the set which gets a ton of laughs from the WWE Universe as we fade away on Fandango who is holding his head in pain.
----------------------------
Kofi Kingston is in the ring, preparing for the upcoming match and his opponent is revealed to be the Big Show who gets a fairly negative reaction. The bell rings and Big Show is quick to kick things off.
BIG SHOW def. KOFI KINGSTON » This was as quick as it sounds. Poor Kofi Kingston was fed to the dominant giant who had been on quite the roll as of late, eating an early Knockout Punch giving the World's Largest Athlete the victory.
After the match, Big Show barely celebrated, but lifted Kingston back up to his feet and then planted him with a huge Chokeslam. Big Show left looking as intense as ever as the scene fades to black.
----------------------------
We are shown a recap of what happened to open up the show with Brock Lesnar speaking about what he did to CM Punk last week on Raw. We are also reminded that later tonight, WWE Champion, John Cena will confront Ryback over his actions over the past two weeks. But now, Raw continues.
----------------------------
Divas action is up next and it's a tag team match between the Divas Champion, Kaitlyn and Layla, and they take on Tamina Snuka and Alicia Fox.
DIVAS CHAMPION KAITLYN & LAYLA def. TAMINA SNUKA & ALICIA FOX » A quick Divas tag team match here with the Divas Champion getting her measure of revenge on Tamina for the attack on SmackDown. Kaitlyn finished the match with a vicious Spear to the Hall of Fame daughter getting the victory for herself and Layla.
Kaitlyn celebrated the victory with Layla as Raw fades away.
----------------------------
We are told that this Friday on SmackDown, also in London, England, we will see Alberto Del Rio take on Jack Swagger in a WrestleMania rematch. Also, the Undertaker will be on SmackDown to address The Shield! But up next, it's time for our Main Event between Sheamus and Mark Henry.
----------------------------
As Raw returns, Mark Henry and Sheamus make their entrances. Sheamus was clearly still furious from Orton's slap on SmackDown, and for anyone else, this would be very bad for his opponent, but this is Mark Henry. It's going to take a lot to take the World's Strongest Man down.
SHEAMUS def. MARK HENRY » This was a clash of the titans for sure, and it went both ways throughout the match. Mark Henry lifted Sheamus up for the World's Strongest Slam, but SHeamus slipped off, bounced off the ropes and drilled the big man with a huge Brogue Kick! Sheamus was able to cover Henry for the victory.
Sheamus celebrated his victory over the dangerous Mark Henry, his biggest victory as of late. Sheamus celebrated, perhaps releasing some of his frustration in this match, but then out of nowhere, Randy Orton slid in the ring. The crowd popped as Sheamus' theme faded. Sheamus turns around and it looked as though Orton was about to go for an RKO... but he stopped. Sheamus and Orton stood face-to-face, the tension building by the second. Michael Cole says that these two are bound to explode soon, and we saw a glimpse of what it could look like on SmackDown. Raw then fades to the backstage area.
----------------------------
John Cena is shown walking down a corridor ready to speak up next. He looks a bit nervous, but shrugs it off and looks ready to do business here tonight on Raw.
----------------------------
The theme of the WWE Champion hits and John Cena makes his way to the ring to a mixed reaction. He gets in the ring with a microphone and begins to speak. He says that for the past two weeks, a man he considered a friend, a man he thought he could trust has attacked him and left him to be beaten down by The Shield. Cena says that's not what a friend does. He says he understands the WWE Championship is the biggest prize in the company, and most would do anything and everything to get their shot, but Cena says that mutual respect means more than any title. Cena says that Ryback has crossed the line now and he's calling him out right now to come face-to-face with him and tell him what he wants like man. And it is then that the theme of Ryback hits to another mixed reaction, the monster making his way to the ring and standing across from John Cena, showing no intimidation at all.
Ryback grabs his own microphone and tells John Cena to stop "spewing his crap", to a big pop actually. Ryback says that everything John Cena has accomplished in the WWE, there's no doubt it's incomparable with anyone else, but his time is over. Ryback says that while John Cena has been having playground arguments with The Rock for the past two years, Ryback has been working his butt off to get where he is now. Ryback says that he took on The Shield by himself for the longest time, believing it was "for the best". Ryback says that he defended the honour of Mick Foley, of John Cena himself, believing it was "for the best". Ryback says for so long he's had Cena's back, whether it be The Shield, CM Punk, or anyone else, he's done nothing but put himself out there, hoping that he would get noticed, but as always, John Cena takes the help and uses it to get himself even higher on the charts. Ryback says it ends now. He says that John Cena is the WWE Champion, and the WWE Championship is exactly what he wants as a reward for everything he's done. Cena looks down at his title as Ryback continues, saying that he doesn't care if he has to break John Cena in half to get it, but he's taking the WWE Championship, and he wants to do it at Extreme Rules. The crowd pop as Cena looks directly into Ryback's intense eyes.
Cena responds, saying that he just heard everything that Ryback said and he can't quite understand. He says that he has always appreciated Ryback's help. Hell, he even pitched to Mr. McMahon for Ryback to replace him in the WWE Championship Match at Hell in a Cell last year. Cena says he's never intentionally snubbed Ryback, and he even said before he came out here that he considered him a friend. But if that's how he feels, Cena says he isn't going to try and argue his point for no reason. Cena says that if Ryback wants a shot at the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules, he's got it. "But mark my words, I did not go through a year of hell to beat The Rock for no reason - I will leave as the WWE Champion". The crowd erupt as the two get in each other's faces, the match seemingly made for Extreme Rules. Cena takes the WWE Championship from around his waist and raises it above his head between Ryback and himself. Ryback grabs the title too, and Cena struggles to keep it in his grasp. Almost in a tug of war like situation, the two hold the WWE Championship between them looking as intense as possible. Raw fades to a close as the two glare into each other's eyes. These two are sure to tear the house down in St. Louis on May 19th!

Great opening segment with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman addressing Lesnar's attack on CM Punk last week. Really looking forward to Punk's return, whenever that may be, as well as the inevitable encounter between he and Lesnar. Decent opening contest victory for Christian. I do admire the thought of a feud between he and Wade Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship. Glad that the Prime Time Players got the victory over Tons of Funk. I'm pretty high on PTP and would love to see them be built towards a WWE Tag Team Championship reign. Great match with World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio. Happy that Zigglypuff got the win, seeing as how he's champion and all and should be booked strongly. Looking forward to the Triple Threat match at Extreme Rules. Not so sure on having Evan Bourne return and capture the United States Championship. Simply because I think putting the title on someone who is just returning and not all that trustworthy would be a bit risky. Also because my homie Antonio Cesaro lost the title. Team Hell No defeating Team Rhodes Scholars is fine, though I don't endorse Cody and Sandow losing. Glad that The Undertaker looks to be sticking around for the time being for a feud with The Shield. The backstage with Chris Jericho and Fandango was rather amusing. Big Show killing Kofi Kingston was fine. I really don't care for Kofi all that much at this point. Kaitlyn and Layla getting the win was fine, made sense with Layla being home in England and all. I know the Divas aren't a priority of yours, but I do still wonder what direction you'll go with Kaitlyn as Divas Champion. Awesome main event match, and Sheamus going over was acceptable. I did like the finish to tease tension between Sheamus and Randy Orton. The ideal situation would be for this to lead to an Orton heel turn. Lastly, great closing segment to finally announce the WWE Championship match between John Cena and Ryback at Extreme Rules. Despite my current disliking of Ryback as a heel, I would not complain one bit about him taking the title at Extreme Rules. Not expecting it, though. A good RAW overall.

WWE MAIN EVENT - APRIL 24TH, 2013 IN LONDON, ENGLAND
WWE Main Event opens up with the commentary team of Michael Cole and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield. We are reminded that we are in London, England tonight and that already the WWE has given the UK some outstanding action. Tonight on WWE Main Event, the action continues and we get things started fast.
----------------------------
R-Truth makes his entrance to the arena, shortly followed by the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry who was not in the best of moods following his loss to Sheamus on Raw this past Monday.
MARK HENRY def. R-TRUTH » Despite Henry's frustration, R-Truth managed to keep the big man at bay and put up an outstanding fight against the former World Champion. However, Henry's rage became too much for Truth to handle and in an incredible spot, Henry caught Truth mid-air while he was going for a Lie Detector, and then planted him into the canvas with the World's Strongest Slam.
Mark Henry celebrated his win, screaming "That's what I do!", much to the dismay of the UK crowd. The referee checked on R-Truth, but Henry grabbed the referee and threw him aside, lifting Truth up against and then planting him with a second World's Strongest Slam! Mark Henry means business. Who will his next target be?
----------------------------
Backstage, Josh Mathews is standing by, apparently awaiting the arrival of his guest. Chris Jericho walks onto the screen to a huge pop and Mathews asks Jericho why he attacked Fandango on Raw. Jericho says that he was just evening up the score, that's all. He says that Fandango wants to play the "one-up" game, then he's all for it. He says that even though he can't stand the kid, he's in love with his theme song, much like the WWE Universe is. The crowd cheer as Jericho starts to hum Fandango's theme song, the crowd joining in with him and "Fandangoing" in the process. Jericho says it's a WWE craze, and he knows that Fandango loves it so much. Suddenly, Jericho grabs Josh Mathews in the ballroom position and starts dancing with him while he and the WWE Universe sing Fandango's theme song. Cole and JBL burst into laughter as Jericho swirls off the screen, his singing still audible in the background. Mathews can't help but laugh as he straightens his jacket and the scene fades away.
----------------------------
We are reminded that this Friday on SmackDown, the two #1 Contenders for the World Heavyweight Championship, Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger, will face off. Plus, the Undertaker will be there to address The Shield. All that and more, this Friday on SmackDown!
----------------------------
The Divas are next on WWE Main Event as Layla will take on Tamina Snuka. The two Divas make their entrances and the match begins.
TAMINA SNUKA def. LAYLA » The hometown girl was unfortunately the victim of a vicious assault in front of her loving crowd. The second generation Diva, Tamina Snuka, beat Layla to a pulp throughout the match, eventually finishing her off with a vicious Samoan Drop.
Tamina made her presence felt tonight and made it clear that she was after the Divas Championship. Kaitlyn may very well have met her match when she comes face-to-face with the daughter of Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka.

Just had a read through this, enjoying the writing and the booking is solid. Going with Ryback/Cena is cool, I can actually see it being a good feud. Glad you decided to have the Triple Threat for the WHC, hoping Ziggler retains. Looking forward to seeing where the Lesnar/Punk story goes, will be following this one.

WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN - APRIL 26TH, 2013 IN LONDON, ENGLAND
SmackDown opens up with no opening package tonight in London, and instead the first thing the WWE Universe hear is the iconic gong of the Undertaker. The crowd erupts as the lights shut off and thunder begins to toll. A dim blue lighting takes over the arena and the legendary Phenom makes his way down the ramp, sending chills down the spines of those watching. Undertaker reaches the ring and stands in a lone spotlight before beginning to speak into the microphone in his hand. The WWE Universe are eager to hear what the Deadman has to say.
He starts off by reminding us of his victory over CM Punk at WrestleMania, claiming that yet another victim was added to the long list as he is now 21-0. Undertaker says that CM Punk was one of his toughest opponents yet, but in the end, much like the rest, he wasn't quite able to break the Streak. He then goes on to say that he planned to go on hiatus following WrestleMania and scout out his potential opponent for next year, however that all changed when The Shield interrupted him on the post-WrestleMania Raw. He says that The Shield stuck their nose in his business, and have got involved with his brother Kane and Daniel Bryan many times recently. Undertaker says that The Shield are messing with the wrong people, and no matter how dominant they have been over the past few months, if you mess with the Brothers of Destruction - you will fall. The crowd cheer as Undertaker looks around the arena, making sure The Shield aren't around. Undertaker says that if The Shield want to continue to attack from behind and assault him and Team Hell No, then so be it. But he promises that they will pay in the long run. Undertaker says that if they're so confident they can take him out, then they can do it in the ring, face-to-face - at Extreme Rules. There's a huge pop from the WWE Universe as Undertaker glares into the camera. He says that The Shield can prove their worth in the ring on May 19th against him, his brother, Kane and Daniel Bryan. He tells them he wants to know if they accept the challenge right now, and just as he finishes his sentence - "Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lime, Delta - Shield".
The crowd frantically look around as the lights flash brightly. The camera zooms in on the three Shield members coming through the fans and approaching ringside. They hop over the barricade, but before they can start surrounding the ring, the WWE Universe erupt when they see the WWE Tag Team Champions rush to ringside! Kane and Daniel Bryan slide into the ring and stand alongside Undertaker as The Shield think twice about getting in the ring, and retreat up the ramp. Suddenly, SmackDown General Manager, Booker T appears on the titantron to a decent reaction. He says that since The Shield are here tonight, they might as well compete. So Booker says that The Shield can choose two of them to take on the WWE Tag Team Champions, Kane and Daniel Bryan in tonight's Main Event. The Shield look up at the titantron in anger but then look at each other, as if they were already thinking of a strategy. The theme of Kane hits and the scene fades to black. We have our Main Event.
----------------------------
SmackDown returns and we see a recap of this past Monday night on Raw when Evan Bourne made his return to the WWE, and in his return match, defeated Antonio Cesaro for the United States Championship. We go back to the arena and see Antonio Cesaro already in the ring, apparently cashing in his rematch clause tonight on SmackDown. Evan Bourne makes his entrance to a huge reaction and we have ourselves a United States Championship Match.
UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH; UNITED STATES CHAMPION EVAN BOURNE def. ANTONIO CESARO » Cesaro was determined to reclaim his title tonight, but it just wasn't to be as coming off a huge victory, Bourne was extremely focused and with the crowd behind him, nothing could stop him. In an incredible moment, Evan Bourne countered an attempt at the Very European Uppercut and instead came down on Cesaro with both knees. Afterwards, Bourne climbs to the top rope and then hits the Shooting Star Press to finish the match.
The WWE Universe are delighted to see Evan Bourne pick up yet another victory and retain his United States Championship. The high-flyer left the ring in celebration, leaving Cesaro looking very disappointed inside the ring.
----------------------------
Backstage, we see the World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler alongside AJ Lee and Big E Langston in the back. Ziggler says how stealing the show is easy here in England because "what do they even have to steal the show from?". He gets a ton of heat as AJ and Big E laugh. Suddenly, England's own, William Regal walks onto the scene to an incredible ovation. Regal says that Ziggler is a fine young talent and is very impressive, definitely worthy of being World Heavyweight Champion. But there's one thing he needs to understand, and that's that no matter where he is in the world, there'll always be someone he's got to beat. Regal says that since we're here in England, he proposes that Dolph Ziggler puts his money where his mouth is and faces him in a match tonight on SmackDown. The crowd erupt as Ziggler laughs, saying that he doesn't face washed up old men like Regal. Regal chuckles and says he likes Ziggler's attitude, but assures him that given the chance, he could give Ziggler the beating of his life and make him regret ever even setting foot in this country. Ziggler starts getting serious, and says "Well in that case, I'll see you in the ring, old man". Regal smirks and then leaves as the WWE Universe are pumped for that match later tonight.
----------------------------
Returning to SmackDown, Justin Gabriel is already in the ring to a decent reaction from the crowd. Then the theme of the Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett hit and being in his home country, got a huge reaction. Barrett approached the ring with intensity and got ready to compete against his former Nexus team-mate.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION WADE BARRETT def. JUSTIN GABRIEL » This was pretty much academic from the start, despite Gabriel putting up his best effort. During the match, Christian made his way towards ringside to a pop from the crowd, but Barrett's focus was not led astray and he was able to put the South African native away with the Bull Hammer.
Afterwards, Barrett held the Intercontinental Championship high to a cheer from his hometown crowd. He pointed at Christian who pointed right back at him, clearly showing that these two want at each other. It's only a matter of time before these two collide for the Intercontinental Championship.
----------------------------
Josh Mathews is standing backstage alongside Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter to a ton of heat. Mathews reminds us that Swagger will take on Alberto Del Rio tonight on SmackDown. He then asks Swagger is tonight's match will affect his gameplan going into the Triple Threat Match at Extreme Rules for the World Heavyweight Championship. Swagger says tonight, Del Rio is going to get beaten so bad, he won't even maake it to Extreme Rules. Coulter cuts in and says that it's even more fitting that Swagger decimates Del Rio in front of a European crowd, because at the end of the day, they're a part of Europe, and Europe is the problem. The crowd boo as Coulter says that he and Swagger and sending the message that they want their country back, and that means keeping Europeans and other nationalities out, reviving the credibility they once had. Coulter says tonight, Swagger will break Del Rio's ankle and leave him here in England in a British hospital, meaning he won't be able to make it to Extreme Rules. The duo walk off and we are told that their match is up next.
----------------------------
Returning to SmackDown, Jack Swagger makes his entrance alongside Zeb Coulter, and they are followed by Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez. In a WrestleMania rematch, these two will collide right here tonight on SmackDown.
ALBERTO DEL RIO def. JACK SWAGGER (via Disqualification) » These two put on an incredible match, much like at WrestleMania, proving that they are two worthy contenders for the World Heavyweight Championship. They went back and forth, and Swagger at one point had the Patriot Lock on Del Rio, but Del Rio escaped and got back into the match. Just as Del Rio was ready to go for the Cross Armbreaker, Zeb Coulter jumped into the ring and attacked Del Rio, prompting the referee to call for the bell.
Swagger and Coulter beat down on Del Rio until Rodriguez jumped into the ring to save his friend. Rodriguez and Coulter came to blows which ended with Rodriguez decking Coulter and knocking him on his backside. The crowd loved it as Coulter retreated. Swagger tried to get revenge, but Del Rio stepped in and hit Swagger with a big enziguiri, sending him out of the ring. Swagger and Coulter retreated as Del Rio and Rodriguez stood tall.
----------------------------
We see a promo package for WWE Extreme Rules, airing on May 19th, from St. Louis, Missouri.
----------------------------
We are shown a recap of the interview with Fandango that took place on Raw, only for Chris Jericho to attack him from behind and then mock him by "Fandangoing" and humming his theme tune before leaving. We are told that Fandango is in the house tonight and will be in action - next!
----------------------------
The theme of Fandango hits and just like that, the WWE Universe are on their feet, waving their arms and singing along to the catchy tune. Fandango and his female companion come out onto the stage, dancing, but it seems that Fandango cannot focus and stops dancing with his partner. He has a microphone in hand and begins to scream "Stop it! Stop it now!". But everyone knows that's a mistake, as the WWE Universe only continued to do it even more. Fandango screams for the production crew to stop the music and they do, but even that doesn't change anything as the music continues from the mouths of the crowd in attendance. Fandango shouts at the WWE Universe, telling them to shut up and let him concentrate on doing what he does best, because if they don't, then they don't get Fandango. Even this doesn't stop them as the "Fandangoing" continues, much to Fandango's dismay. He enters the ring and says that Chris Jericho has poisoned their minds and turned them all into puppets, and they're falling right into his trap. He says that Jericho is just bitter because he lost at WrestleMania and the only way he can stay relevant is by hijacking his popularity. Fandango says that without him, Chris Jericho wouldn't even be relevant right now and would probably be doing another lackluster performance with his band. Fandango claims that he is real entertainment, whereas Fozzy is just "noise", much like how Jericho is just "noise" and he can't back it up. He says that Jericho might have got the WWE Universe in the palm of his hand, but he will continue to rise and soon become the greatest superstar of all time and entertain the world with his dancing. Fandango is abruptly cut off by the theme of his opponent tonight, Zack Ryder. Ryder receives a good reaction from the crowd as the bell rings.
ZACK RYDER def. FANDANGO » Fandango was clearly still angered by the constant "Fandangoing" of the WWE Universe, and they even continued it throughout the match, distracting him fairly often. However, the real distraction came when Chris Jericho's voice was heard on the microphone screaming "Everybody ready?!" to a huge pop. Then all of a sudden, Chris Jericho appeared on the stage in jeans and one of his flashing jackets, and started "Fandangoing" on the stage, incensing Fandango himself. Jericho got the crowd as loud as possible as Fandango totally lost focus and started screaming over the ropes at Jericho. Jericho sang and did the "Fandango" for a few seconds until Fandango was rolled up by Zack Ryder and out of nowhere, the three count was made.
The WWE Universe erupted with that upset victory and Zack Ryder was declared the winner, celebrating his huge victory and delivering Fandango his very first loss in the WWE. Ryder quickly left the ring and fled up the ramp as Fandango looked on in disbelief. Fandango grabbed the referee and started screaming in his face. Ryder walked past Jericho and the former World Champion gave him a pat on the back as if to say "Good job, kid". Jericho smirked down at Fandango who was furious with what just happened. Before Jericho left, he made sure to get the crowd singing again, making Fandango even angrier before leaving.
----------------------------
We go backstage to see Booker T in his office with Theodore Long. Suddenly, Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter barge in and Coulter tells Booker that he better do something about Ricardo Rodriguez for laying his hands on him. Booker says that Zeb got involved in the match first so he was pretty much asking for it. Coulter calls Booker useless and says that he isn't a true American like Jack Swagger if he's supporting the actions of foreigners like Del Rio and Rodriguez. Booker tells Coulter to watch his mouth otherwise he'll find himself on the unemployment line. The crowd pop as Booker says he's going to make a rematch for Raw. It will be Jack Swagger versus Alberto Del Rio again this Monday, but if Zeb Coulter gets involved, then Jack Swagger will be removed from the World Heavyweight Championship Match at Extreme Rules. He says the same goes for Rodriguez and Del Rio. Coulter scowls at Booker T before leaving, Swagger in tow.
----------------------------
It's time for the match made earlier between the World Champion, Dolph Ziggler and England's own, William Regal. Ziggler makes his entrance alongside AJ Lee and Big E Langston, followed by William Regal to a huge pop. The bell rings and the match gets going.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DOLPH ZIGGLER def. WILLIAM REGAL » After this match, it's certain Ziggler won't be calling Regal "old man" again any time soon. The veteran superstar showed Ziggler the ropes in the match, giving him one heck of a beating using his outstanding technical ability and brawling nature. Regal hit Ziggler with a Knee Trembler mid-match but only managed to a two count. Ziggler was able to finish Regal off after he avoided a clothesline and followed it up with a ZigZag for the victory.
The World Heavyweight Champion celebrated his win over the hometown hero with AJ and Big E by his side. Regal got to his feet and extended his hand to Ziggler, offering a handshake in respect. Ziggler looked like he was going to do the right thing and take it, but then out of nowhere, Big E grabbed Regal and lifted him up onto his shoulder before planting him with the Big Ending. The crowd boo as the trio stand over Regal and laugh.
----------------------------
We see a recap of what happened in the ring earlier when the Undertaker laid out the challenge to The Shield for a Six-Man Tag Team Match at Extreme Rules where he would team with Team Hell No to take on the renegade group. The Shield approached the ring but were prevented from doing anything as the WWE Tag Team Champions came to the side of Undertaker. Booker T then made a match for tonight between two members of The Shield and Team Hell No. We return to SmackDown to see Team Hell No walking down a corridor, ready for the Main Event, and it's up next.
----------------------------
Team Hell No make their entrance, ready to compete and they are followed by The Shield who make their way through the crowd and down to ringside. They stand on the outside for a while before Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins jump onto the ring apron, suggesting that they are the two competing in this match while Reigns will remain outside. The bell rings and the match begins.
THE SHIELD def. WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS TEAM HELL NO » These two teams have been at each other's throats for a while now, and if Undertaker's challenge is accepted, we will see them go at it again in Six-Man Tag Team action on May 19th. However, tonight it's only two-on-two. Both teams get some offence in, but in the end, Roman Reigns was a major factor in this match, delivering a thunderous Spear to Kane on the outside while the referee was elsewhere, leaving Bryan alone with the hounds of justice. Bryan fell victim to a sickening springboard knee to the skull from Seth Rollins, allowing them to pick up the victory.
The crowd booed as The Shield got yet another victory, remaining undefeated here in the WWE. Kane was down and out on the outside, and The Shield then threw Bryan to the outside as well, sending him falling into Kane, leaving the WWE Tag Team Champions in a heap on the arena floor. But then-- GONG! The crowd erupt as the lights shut off for the second time tonight. There is a second gong and the lights return to normal to see the Undertaker standing across from the three members of The Shield. The WWE Universe are going nuts as Undertaker shows no signs of backing down. But neither do The Shield, and confusingly, Dean Ambrose walks right up to the Undertaker and raises his arms. He then quickly brings down his arms and there is a gong... and the lights go off again. The crowd are confused, until their is another gong and the lights return to normal.
The WWE Universe are horrified to see that The Shield have the Undertaker up in the air! Triple Powerbomb to the Deadman! The Shield are playing mind games with the master of mind games, the Undertaker. Ambrose grabs a microphone from ringside and then drops to his stomach, getting right in Undertaker's face. He slowly says "We accept" before dropping the microphone and the trio leave to their theme. The Undertaker lay broken in the center of the ring as Team Hell No remain on the outside. The Shield just sent their biggest message yet by taking out the legendary Phenom.

Great opening segment with The Undertaker addressing The Shield. Sounds like a nice main event set up for tonight. As much as I love Team Hell No, I would certainly enjoy seeing The Shield get the victory and, eventually, the WWE Tag Team Championships. Evan Bourne as the United States Champion is something that still bothers me. A decent win for him over Antonio Cesaro, who desperately needs something to do now. Cesaro is far too talented to let slip down to the bottom of the card with zero momentum. Nexus on Nexus violence is cool, good win for Wade Barrett in his home country. Fair WrestleMania rematch with Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger. Forming a mental image of the aftermath is hilarious. Not too fond of the decision to have Zack Ryder upset Fandango. Maybe because I'm not fond at all of Ryder nowadays. It is a decent way to continue Fandango's feud with Chris Jericho, though. It also reminds me a bit too much of the Ziggler/Riley match last year that Jericho got involved in as well. Liked Booker T's announcement for Del Rio/Swagger on Monday with the added stipulation. Should be interesting. Glad William Regal was at least given enough time to put on a great match in England, especially against Ziggler. The aftermath was a fair way to get more heat on Ziggler and co., not bad. Lastly, fantastic tag team main event. So glad The Shield got the victory. The aftermath came off as incredibly bizarre, mostly with Ambrose somehow having the power to shut the lights. The Triple Powerbomb was nice, though, and The Shield continue to look like the badass mo-fo's that they are.

Great to see The Undertaker addressing The Shield. Glad to see Shield show up to confront Taker. Booker's announcement was cool and I hope The Shield can beat the Tag Champs, and hopefully the titles later on. Bourne as champion is disappointing to me. I just don't like the guys lack of professionalism. But anyway, excited to see where you take the kid. I always love seeing Regal work in the ring and Ziggler versus regal sounds like it would be a tremendous match. Good win for Barrett, but I do think that if built right, Gabriel could be a credible IC champ. Del Rio and Swagger again? Match seemed fine but I don't know how Ziggler will fit in with these two still feuding. Decent promo by Fandango. This side of Fandango could be interesting. Ryder over Fandango is fine, but I hop Ryder gets to turn heel soon. He's gotten stale. Maybe a return to the tag team division with Hawkins? The Jericho/Fandango feud is fun and entertaining. Ziggler and Regal sounded fantastic. Too bad Regal couldn't become Ziggler's next opponent for the title. That would be fabulous. Great match between Hell No and The Shield. The 6-Man Tag sounds interesting and I hope Shield gets the win. Keep up the good work man.

WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW - APRIL 29TH, 2013 IN COLUMBUS, OHIO
The show opens up and we are instantly greeted with the theme of Alberto Del Rio to a huge pop from the WWE Universe. The bell rings and we are told that the opening contest will be the rematch from SmackDown as Del Rio will take on the "real American", Jack Swagger.
ALBERTO DEL RIO def. JACK SWAGGER (via Disqualification) » The WWE Universe were finally looking forward to seeing one of these two men get a decisive victory over the other, but once again, their match was ruined by an uninvited guest. The World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler made his way to ringside, accompanied by Big E Langston and AJ Lee, who got in the faces of Ricardo Rodriguez and Zeb Colter. Then, as Del Rio was thrown into the ropes, Ziggler would catch his leg, tripping him up and the referee was forced to ring the bell.
The crowd boo once again, disliking the fact that the match had been ruined yet again. Ziggler hopped into the ring and starting stomping down on Del Rio, but that's when Jack Swagger stepped in, grabbing Ziggler's waist and slamming him to the canvas with his amateur wrestling style. But then Big E Langston jumped in, coming to the aid of his friend and delivered a thunderous clothesline to Swagger. Ricardo and Colter slid into the ring and started getting involved as AJ Lee stood on the outside screaming at the chaos. All of a sudden, Booker T comes out onto the stage and tells everyone to stop. He says that this has gone far enough and he knows that there is only one way these guys are going to end this with no trouble. He says that at Extreme Rules, Dolph Ziggler will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger - in a Steel Cage Match! The crowd pop as the participants look at each other, realising their allies will be useless in such a match. Ziggler slips out of the ring, clutching his World Heavyweight Championship. With a chance of him losing his title without even being pinned a potential outcome, are Ziggler's days as Champion numbered?
----------------------------
At ringside, Michael Cole tells us that tonight, Ryback and John Cena will take part in a Beat the Clock challenge to determine who gets to choose the stipulation for their match at Extreme Rules for the WWE Championship. Those two matches will happen later tonight, but now, we go backstage to where Josh Mathews is standing alongside one of those men, Ryback. He gets a mixed reaction as Mathews asks if this rivalry with John Cena is about the WWE Championship, or is it personal. Ryback says John Cena made it personal when he refused to repay him for the help he'd given him. Ryback says taking the WWE Championship isn't just because he wants the title, it's because he wants to watch Cena cry and hurt as he takes it away from him. Ryback says that John Cena stood by and watched him get hurt by The Shield week in, week out, and now it's time for him to return the favour and watch him suffer without the WWE Championship by taking it at Extreme Rules. Mathews then asks Ryback if he has a stipulation in mind for if he wins tonight's Beat the Clock Challenge. Ryback looks at Mathews, smirks, and then leaves without an answer.
----------------------------
We return to Raw to see Antonio Cesaro and the Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett in the ring. After, the entrances of Christian and the United States Champion, Evan Bourne hit and we have ourselves a tag team match.
CHRISTIAN & UNITED STATES CHAMPION EVAN BOURNE def. INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION WADE BARRETT & ANTONIO CESARO » These two title situations had been ongoing the past week or so, and tonight as an opportunity to clash them together to create one big super match. After a back and forth battle that saw Cesaro on the receiving end of a Spear from Christian, Wade Barrett tried to level the playing field, and did so by connecting with the Bull Hammer on a vulnerable Evan Bourne. However, with his attention elsehwere, Christian was able to roll up the Intercontinental Champion and get a pinfall victory over him out of nowhere.
Christian left the ring, dragging Evan Bourne with him as the WWE Universe cheered. Wade Barrett was furious as Christian had gotten the quick victory over him without warning. Christian put his arm around Bourne and the two celebrated as Barrett continued to look on in anger.
----------------------------
We are shown footage that was apparently shot earlier today with The Shield. Ambrose says that this past Friday on SmackDown, they made the biggest impact of them all - taking out the Undertaker. He says that being undefeated at WrestleMania means nothing to The Shield, and couldn't protect anyone from justice. Reigns says justice has been served and the Undertaker is no longer immortal, because The Shield are his kryptonite. Rollins says how easy it was to manipulate the Deadman and take him out, and that's exactly what they plan to do to him again, along with Team Hell No at Extreme Rules. The Shield says that not even the Phenom can avoid justice, and justice will continue to be served. The camera fuzzes out and Raw continues, Michael Cole telling us that The Shield will be in action later tonight.
----------------------------
We are shown an clip of Randy Orton on his way to the ring as he will take on the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry, just like Sheamus did last week. That match is next!
----------------------------
Randy Orton and Mark Henry make their entrances and we are reminded of Sheamus' victory over Mark Henry last week and how Orton looked to be going for the RKO after the match, but when Sheamus turned around, the two simply glared at each other. What is going on with these men?
RANDY ORTON def. MARK HENRY » Almost as if he was trying to outdo Sheamus from last week, Orton went in guns blazing with Henry and was able to pull off a big victory over the former World Champion, avoiding a World's Strongest Slam and hitting him with an RKO for the win.
After the match, Orton grabbed a microphone and said that Sheamus wants to blame him for the loss at WrestleMania, when he's the one that was holding the team together. He says Sheamus was the one that drove the Big Show to leave them out to dry, not him. Suddenly, Sheamus' theme hits and the crowd erupt as he makes his way down to the ring. He stands across from Orton and speaks, saying that he isn't going to stand around and take part in playground arguments. Sheamus says that where he comes from, they don't accuse people of things and not do anything about it - they fight. Orton says that if it's a fight Sheamus wants, it's a fight he can get. The two get in each other's faces and Sheamus says "Let's fight at Extreme Rules, and then we'll see who the better man is, eh, fella?". And Orton responds, saying "That's fine by me, and if we're going to fight, we're going to do it properly - in a Street Fight!". The crowd erupt as they are practically nose to nose, both men smirking sadistically. Orton backs down and then leaves the ring before looking back, and then continuing up the ramp. Sheamus' theme hits and it seems we have another Extreme Rules Match.
----------------------------
Backstage, Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox are talking about tonight's Beat the Clock Challenge, Vickie saying she's worried with Ryback wanting to hurt John Cena so badly what stipulation he'll choose if he wins. Suddenly, the Intercontinental Champion, Wade Barrett bursts in and says that he demands another match with Christian after his fluke victory earlier. Brad tells Vickie that he's got this and talks to Barrett, saying he totally agrees that Christian got lucky earlier tonight. So with that being said, he suggests that Barrett faces Christian this Friday on SmackDown in a non-title match. Barrett says that's exactly what he wanted, and he will prove what a fluke Christian really is. However, Vickie steps in and says she's going to add a bit more to the match. She says that if Christian happens to beat Barrett again, then the two will face off at Extreme Rules for the Intercontinental Championship! The crowd pop as Barrett doesn't seem to know what to think to that. He leaves and Brad says "I told you I got this...", and Vickie responds saying "You didn't have anything...". We then fade to further backstage.
----------------------------
Michael Cole talks over a clip of Ryback on his way to the ring, ready for the first of two Beat the Clock matches to determine who will choose the stipulation between him and John Cena for the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules. Cole tells us that match is next.
----------------------------
Returning to Raw, we see the entrance of Ryback, entering the ring ready for his match. He awaits the arrival of his opponent, and suddenly, the lights shut off and a flashing silhouette is seen on the stage before pyrotechnics explode and Ryback's opponent is revealed as none other than Chris Jericho!
RYBACK def. CHRIS JERICHO [8:35] » The former World Champion was going to try and give the #1 Contender the fight of his life and make him last as long as possible. Jericho did just that and even came close to winning after hitting Ryback with a Codebreaker. However, it was the interference of Fandango that caused Jericho to lose his focus as Fandango approached ringside and jumped onto the ring apron to shout at Jericho. Fandango was met with a forearm for his troubles, sending him crashing to the floor, but it was enough to distract Jericho who got drilled with a Meat Hook clothesline, and was then planted into the canvas with a Shell Shocked, giving Ryback the victory at an impressive 8:35.
After the match, despite getting rocked by Jericho's right forearm, Fandango left with a smile on his face, getting revenge from SmackDown where Jericho cost him his match. Ryback celebrated his victory and pointed at the clock on the titantron before chanting "Feed me more!".
----------------------------
We are shown a recap of this past Friday on SmackDown when Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins of The Shield defeated the WWE Tag Team Champions, Team Hell No in non-title action. It shows the aftermath with the Undertaker coming out, only to be confused when Dean Ambrose somehow shut the lights off and when they returned, The Shield had Undertaker up for the Triple Powerbomb and planted him in the center of the ring. We are told that The Shield is in action next.
----------------------------
The trio of The Great Khali and Tons of Funk stood in the ring, ready for Six-Man Tag Team action. The Shield then make their signature entrance through the crowd and this match gets going following the ring bell.
THE SHIELD def. THE GREAT KHALI & TONS OF FUNK » The team across from The Shield had the size advantage, and undoubtedly the power advantage, but even then, they fell victim to The Shield like many before them. After taking out Tons of Funk, The Shield isolated the Punjabi Giant and Roman Reigns was able to deliver a Spear and hook the leg for the victory.
The Shield celebrated yet another victory, remaining undefeated here in the WWE. But as they celebrated over the downed Great Khali, there was a fiery explosion on the stage and the crowd erupted as the WWE Tag Team Champions, Kane and Daniel Bryan rushed towards the ring. But uncharacteristically, The Shield hopped through the ropes and retreated through the crowd instead of fighting. Kane was clearly looking for some revenge after The Shield assaulted his brother, the Undertaker, but he couldn't get it tonight.
----------------------------
Backstage, we see the Divas Champion, Kaitlyn, and she's apparently on her way to the ring to compete. However, she bumps into AJ Lee on her way there. Kaitlyn smiles and then goes to walk past her, but AJ stands in front of her and refuses to move. Kaitlyn asks what she wants, because she has nothing to say to her anymore. AJ says that what she wants, is on Kaitlyn's shoulder - the Divas Championship. She says it would go well with her image when she's stood next to "her Ziggy", the World Heavyweight Champion. Kaitlyn says that AJ really is crazy if she thinks she's getting a Divas Championship Match after what she's done. Kaitlyn says anyone else, she'd be happy to take the challenge, but AJ has betrayed her so much, she doesn't feel she deserves it. AJ says that Kaitlyn made a mistake calling her "crazy", and she will get what's coming to her. Kaitlyn says she can't believe what AJ has become and then storms past her, barging her out of the way. AJ's frown slowly turns into a twisted smile. Kaitlyn competes - next!
----------------------------
Already in the ring, The Bella Twins stands and apparently Nikki Bella is the one competing tonight. The Divas Champion, Kaitlyn makes her entrance and the bell rings, signalling the match has begun.
NIKKI BELLA def. DIVAS CHAMPION KAITLYN » Well, this explains why AJ Lee had that twisted smile. The crazy diva made her way to ringside during the match and distracted both Kaitlyn and the referee, and this allowed Brie Bella to swap places with her sister, Nikki in the act they call Twin Magic. As Kaitlyn returned her focus to the match, she was rolled up in a small package by the fresh Brie Bella and the referee counted the pinfall.
The Bella Twins left in celebration as AJ Lee looked on from the outside with a grin. Kaitlyn looked directly at her as AJ skipped around the ring innocently. AJ then grabbed the Divas Championship from ringside... and skipped away. Michael Cole exclaims that AJ Lee is leaving with the Divas Championship and Kaitlyn watches on in disbelief. As AJ reaches the stage, Kaitlyn leaves the ring and pursues AJ as the scene fades away.
----------------------------
Backstage, Josh Mathews is alongside the WWE Champion, John Cena to a decent pop. Mathews says that Ryback got an impressive victory over Chris Jericho earlier tonight in 8:35. Mathews asks if John Cena thinks he can beat that. Cena says it's an impressive time, but a record is set so it can be broken. Cena says he doesn't know who his opponent is tonight, but he promises that he's going to try his best to beat Ryback's time. Mathews asks the same question he asked Ryback about if he has a stipulation in mind for if he wins, and Cena says that he's been thinking about it all day, and he may have made his decision, but is going to wait until he wins his match to reveal it. Cena leaves and the Main Event is up next!
----------------------------
John Cena makes his entrance to the arena to a decent reaction and stands in the ring awaiting his opponent. However, his facial expression drops when his opponent is revealed to be the World's Largest Athlete, the Big Show.
JOHN CENA fought BIG SHOW TO A NO CONTEST [TIME EXPIRED] » These two have had their battles in the past, so they know each other very well. Of course, Big Show's only motive was to hurt John Cena and defeat him, and it was looking like he could, but in signature John Cena fashion, the WWE Champion fights back and somehow gets a second wind. And and with 20 seconds left, John Cena drove the Big Show into the canvas with a huge Attitude Adjustment and covered the giant! One - two - the referee was dragged out of the ring and down to the floor by Ryback! The crowd booed as John Cena got to his feet. In what was a very intense moment, John Cena and Ryback simply glared at each other through the ropes as the clock slowly counted down to zero and the buzzer sounded.
The crowd booed as John Cena was robbed of his victory by his opponent at Extreme Rules. Ryback had no facial expression, but Cena looked on, not in anger, but in disappointment at Ryback's actions. Then suddenly - Knockout Punch! John Cena is spun around by the Big Show and the huge fist of the giant connects with Cena's jaw, knocking him out cold. Big Show leaves the ring and even makes eye contact with Ryback on his way out, but Show continues on up the ramp. Ryback enters the ring and stands over John Cena to a ton of heat. But then, Ryback picks Cena up and drives him into the canvas with a huge Shell Shocked. Ryback then starts doing his usual taunt with his arms, but instead of "Feed me more", he began to count with each pump of his arms. Ryback finally reach the number ten and then stopped to heat from the crowd. Michael Cole states that it is very obvious what stipulation Ryback has chosen, saying that we will see the WWE Championship defending in a Last Man Standing Match at Extreme Rules. Ryback stands over his fallen rival as Raw fades to a close.
