WWE SummerSlam; August 18, 2013 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California
The biggest party of the summer has arrived! Since WWE Money in the Bank, a lot has changed. Paul Heyman is no longer the "best friend" of CM Punk, siding with the beast that is Brock Lesnar after Punk decided there was no need for Heyman to be by his side any more. Dolph Ziggler disposed of AJ Lee, only to be viciously assaulted by the troubled Diva's Champion and her muscle, Big E Langston. Ziggler would get his rematch with Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship, but with Langston added to the fray. The Shield chose to target the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry as their latest victim, but their ongoing feud with The Usos meant that Henry was not alone in his revenge. Henry will team alongside the brothers Uso to take on the seemingly unstoppable Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. And the WWE Champion, John Cena was given the privilege to chose his very own opponent for tonight's event, and after much consideration, chose the man whom the WWE Universe wanted (judging by their chants of "YES!"), and that was Daniel Bryan. Can Daniel Bryan finally make his climb to the top of the WWE and win its most prized possession?
KICK-OFF MATCH - CHRISTIAN & THE MIZ def. JACK SWAGGER & ANTONIO CESARO; It seems even the "Real Americans" couldn't withstand the unique combination of Christian and The Miz in this Kick-Off special. Zeb Colter tried to get his team together, but they were just no match for the pair of former World Champions. Chritian got the victory when he hit Antonio Cesaro with the Killswitch.
RANDY ORTON def. ROB VAN DAM; Following his huge win at Money in the Bank, Randy Orton became extremely focused and warned us frequently of his desire to become the next WWE Champion. Orton has many run-ins with John Cena before tonight, and told him to his face that he was coming for the title when he was ready. However, the recently returned Rob Van Dam believed he was incredibly close to winning the All-Stars Money in the Bank Ladder Match last month, so he challenged Orton to a match tonight. The two former World Champions battled it out until finally, Orton caught Mr. Monday Night with an RKO as Van Dam flew off the turnbuckle for the Five-Star Frog Splash. The WWE Universe erupted on impact, and Randy Orton hooked the leg for the three count.
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - CURTIS AXEL © def. FANDANGO; The new and improved Curtis Axel, accompanied by his mentor, Paul Heyman, had become an impressive Intercontinental Champions to say the least. Since being under the tutelage of the ECW mastermind, Axel has racked up victories over John Cena, Triple H, The Miz and Chris Jericho. Fandango put his name in the hat for an Intercontinental Championship Match, and after defeating Wade Barrett was able to earn himself a shot here at SummerSlam. Unfortunately for him, however, the usual distraction from Paul Heyman may have cost Fandango as Axel was able to capitalize and drill the dancing superstars with a Hangman's Facebuster for the victory.
THE SHIELD def. MARK HENRY & THE USOS; Of all the people that The Shield have targeted, Mark Henry may be the most dangerous one of them all. But even he was no match for a three-on-one assault at the hands of the Hounds of Justice. Although, waiting in the wings were two other superstars who had ongoing issues with The Shield, and came to the aid of the World's Strongest Man - The Usos. Coming up short at the Money in the Bank Kick-Off show, The Usos were looking for some payback. They were given that chance, alongside Mark Henry tonight at SummerSlam, but as usual, The Shield could not be stopped. Isolating the power of Henry and taking out the high-flying offence of The Usos, Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns could pick up a decisive victory after Rollins hit Henry with a big flying knee, followed by a Spear from Reigns, and finally allowing Ambrose to get the cover.
RYBACK def. BIG SHOW; Returning on the July 22nd edition of Raw, the Big Show stated that he could be embarking on his final run here in the WWE, and promised that he would do whatever it takes to reach the top of the mountain one more time. The Human Wrecking Ball, Ryback had something to say about that, informing the Big Show that if he wanted to be the number one guy, he'd have to wait in line for an opportunity, because Ryback was next on the list. Big Show asked Ryback to put his money where his mouth is, and after weeks of confrontation, it came down to this. Despite the best efforts of the World's Largest Athlete, Ryback was as focused as ever, and somehow pulled out the power from deep within the lift Big Show onto his shoulders and plant him with the Shell Shocked for a big victory. However, the WWE Universe were not too pleased. And neither was the Big Show, who got to his feet, and knocked Ryback out with a huge KNockout Punch out of nowhere. Big Show may have lost, but he sent a message to Ryback like no other.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - DOLPH ZIGGLER def. ALBERTO DEL RIO © & BIG E LANGSTON; This was Dolph Ziggler's last chance. Coming back early from a concussion, Alberto Del Rio was able to capitalize on the injury and capture the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Payback. Ziggler sought another opportunity at WWE Money in the Bank, but Ziggler's then-girlfriend, the Diva's Champion, AJ Lee decided to get involved, and with her best intentions (apparently) attacked Del Rio during the match with her Diva's title, and caused Ziggler to be disqualified. Ziggler wasn't happy and would then dump AJ the following night on Raw. From previous experiences, we know AJ isn't the best at break-ups, and she stayed true to that assumption when she cost Ziggler another match with Del Rio, this time intentionally, and watched as Big E Langston flattened Ziggler into the canvas. Ziggler demanded another rematch with Del Rio, but also wanted to get his hands on Big E. New SmackDown General Manager, Vickie Guerrero saw only one option - a Triple Threat. Big E Langston gets the opportunity of his career, and Ziggler gets the chance at redemption from both parties. Unfortunately, it was Alberto Del Rio who had the most to lose. AJ Lee tried to cost Ziggler yet another title opportunity, but she forgot about one thing - Kaitlyn. The former Diva's Champion hit the ring and Speared the current Diva's Champion to the floor. Big E Langston took to the outside to protect his friend, and this left Del Rio and Ziggler in the ring. Del Rio went for the Cross Armbreaker, but Ziggler released his arm, and saw an opening, hitting the ZigZag! Big E attempted to return to the ring, but Kaitlyn distracted him... with a kiss! Ziggler got the pinfall and became the World Heavyweight Champion once again.
DAMIEN SANDOW def. CODY RHODES; Former tag team partners, former best friends, now turned enemies after Sandow betrayed Cody in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Many may say you "do what it takes to win", but Cody truly believed he and Sandow were the best of friends. Sandow continued to try and persuade Cody he was only doing what he had to and that the two of them were still friends, but Rhodes couldn't forget how close he was to winning the contract, and Sandow ripped him off the ladder, tearing him from his dreams. The match was made to settle the score, and Cody was looking to teach his former friend a lesson, but the ever-intelligent Damien Sandow was once again able to outsmart his fellow Rhodes Scholar and roll him up, albeit with the handful of tights, for the victory. This wasn't over.
CM PUNK def. BROCK LESNAR; The battle of the "Paul Heyman Guys". Well, only one Paul Heyman Guy, since Paul Heyman himself told the WWE Universe that his ties with CM Punk were officially cut. Despite claiming that he and Punk were "best friends" and that he "loved him", it was Heyman who set Brock on CM Punk the night after WWE Payback. CM Punk felt betrayed and disappointed, but most importantly, furious. The beast, Brock Lesnar assaulted Punk on more than one occasion in the two months prior to SummerSlam, and this was personal. Punk wasn't only fighting for his honour, but also for everyone who has been manipulated by Paul Heyman in the past (a very long list). The size difference became a factor, Lesnar manhandling Punk throughout the match, Paul Heyman screaming orders at Brock, directing traffic. Punk found it difficult to fight back, but he was able to garner some kind of offence and sent the big man reeling. Paul Heyman, as expected, got involved in the match, just as he had done earlier with Curtis Axel, but CM Punk wasn't falling for any distractions and quickly moved out of the way as Brock attacked, causing Brock to hit Heyman off the ring apron. Punk lifted the former World Champion onto his shoulders and hit him with the Go To Sleep. But before he could get the cover - Curtis Axel appears! Curtis Axel runs down the ramp and leaps onto the apron... but receives a roundhouse kick for his troubles! Although the minor distraction may have been enough as Lesnar got to his feet and lifted Punk onto his shoulders. Lesnar went for the F-5, but Punk landed on his feet, lifted Lesnar up - a second Go To Sleep! He hooked the leg and CM Punk was victorious as Heyman looked on in distress.
BRAY WYATT def. KANE; Since the debut of the Wyatt Family, things just haven't been the same in the WWE. Everything took a wrong turn. The Wyatt's first target was the Big Red Monster, Kane, taking him out of the All-Star Money in the Bank Ladder Match just six days before he was scheduled to compete. The Wyatt's proceeded to assault the likes of R-Truth, Justin Gabriel, 3MB and Zack Ryder, among others. Bray Wyatt officially laid out the challenge to Kane on the August 12th edition of Monday Night Raw, informing Kane to simply "follow the buzzards to SummerSlam". It was unknown if Kane would even show up tonight, but he did. He brought his A-game and looked to get his revenge on the entire Wyatt Family, but even the Big Red Monster couldn't combat the unorthodox style of Bray Wyatt and his mind games. Wyatt was able to drill Kane with the Sister Abigail for his first ever victory here in the WWE.
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - DANIEL BRYAN def. JOHN CENA ©; John Cena has held the WWE Championship since WrestleMania XXIX where he defeated The Rock in their second encounter. Since then, John Cena has been unstoppable in his WWE Championship defences, most recently overcoming Mark Henry at Money in the Bank. It was time for John Cena to get himself a new challenger, and the new Raw General Manager, Brad Maddox had an idea for that. He allowed John Cena to choose his own SummerSlam opponent, and knowing John Cena, he wanted the best that the WWE had to offer. Gathering an array of superstars on the Raw stage, John Cena ran down some of his options, but eventually decided on the uber fan favourite - Daniel Bryan. The WWE Universe were thrilled, and over the weeks following, Cena and Bryan confronted each other, and even teamed together. But this past Monday on Raw, things got physical as Bryan tried to lock in the Yes! Lock on Cena, but Cena escaped and hit Bryan with an Attitude Adjustment. Tonight, all bets are off and these two put on the best SummerSlam Main Event in a very long time. Back and forth, the WWE Universe split down the middle. John Cena looked to be taking control, but out of nowhere, Bryan reversed a set up for the Attitude Adjustment into a standing Yes! Lock, eventually bringing Cena to his knees. He had it locked in for a good two minutes, Cena trying his best to reach the ropes, but everytime he tried, Bryan rolled him back over. With the entire WWE Universe on their feet with anticipation, the moment finally came - John Cena tapped out. The Staples Center erupted as Bryan jumped up from the canvas, screaming "YES!" in unison with the crowd. Daniel Bryan had done it, and he had done it in spectacular fashion.
Daniel Bryan was handed the WWE Championship by referee, Scott Armstrong and raises it high above his head, repeatedly. The atmosphere was incredible. John Cena got to his feet, holding his shoulder in pain, and came face-to-face with the new WWE Champion. Being the true sportsman he is, John Cena shook Bryan's hand and then raised it to a huge ovation from the WWE Universe. Cena applauded Bryan and then left the ring, leaving Bryan to bask in the glory. Many in the crowd were expecting this dream-like event to be brought back down to earth with the arrival of Randy Orton, but there was no such thing, and Bryan was free to enjoy the biggest victory of his career in peace. The tide has turned here in the WWE, and a star has truly been born.

WWE SummerSlam: Sunday 18th August 2013...I like the look of this. Stick to this format of doing shows, it's really clean and nice, me thinks. I'd actually like to see this last longer than a month, but that may be a challenge to you, given your track record, hehe. Shame to see Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro losing again here, tonight. A fine kick-off match with Christian (finally picking up a notable win since his return) and the Miz getting a win - Christian will hopefully feud his way onto an actual pay-per-view in the near future. But I think the Real Americans should start picking up a few more wins, personally. They proved to me at Money in the Bank and on RAW this past week that they have a lot of potential and look the part of a good, solid heel tag team. Hopefully in the future, where a face tag team are in possession of the WWE Tag Team Championships, at least. Randy Orton defeating Rob Van Dam was fine, in a hot opening contest. I don't like how basic the backstory was for the match, personally though. Additionally, you could have set this match up with Van Dam reminding Orton of how he took him out of the WWE, in the Stretcher match back at WWE One Night Stand 2007. I still remember that devastating head-spiking RKO Orton gave him. Anyhow, hot opening contest, but it sucks that RVD is yet to have a successful pay-per-view victory, after losing also at Money in the Bank. Curtis Axel retaining the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Fandango is fine, a filler match - I want to know how Fandango got to being a babyface contender to the title though. Unfortunately, this match would not have made Axel anymore over, I don't think - other than Fandango's selling, perhaps. Fandango's not that big enough a name to get him over as the Miz or Wade Barrett have tried. Maybe reach deeper. Hmm, good six-man tag team win for the Shield, continuing their dominant streak against Mark Henry and the Usos - however, what's next for Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins? This is becoming slightly too formulaic, me thinks. I'd love an Usos reign as WWE Tag Team Champions, myself. I like the sound of Big Show going through Ryback and taking him to the limit, whilst being unable to score the victory. Would not have been the best match in the world, but that's irrelevant. Hopefully Show does manage to reach the World Heavyweight Championship or WWE Championship before retiring. Hmm, a handicap match eh? That sounds strange for a World Heavyweight Championship match, especially one where Dolph Ziggler is the babyface challenger for the belt. I'd have rather seen Alberto Del Rio face some fresh competition, whilst Ziggler feuded with Big E Langston - that was sort of his way out of the title hunt, distracting himself with something new. Oh well, a good climax to the rivalry between Ziggler and Del Rio, with Ziggler regaining the World title - and Kaitlyn gaining comeuppance against AJ. I'm glad that AJ Lee is still WWE Divas Champion, nonetheless. I see Langston being a threat to Ziggler after SummerSlam. Hmm, the Rhodes Scholars' explosion was a bit too high on the card for my liking, personally. I don't like the idea of it being used as a buffer between matches - since Cody Rhodes got a powerful ovation at Money in the Bank and after that show. It's a solid feud, wish it wasn't so underutilized in this filler roll. I'm glad that Sandow cheaped Rhodes out of a victory, though. I see this continuing. This is Rhodes' big chance to finally break the glass ceiling, and I hope that happens. CM Punk with a win against Brock Lesnar was shocking - I don't think it would have been too good a match, but a decent one perhaps. I hate that this had a clean victory, and that Punk won for that matter, as I think it would realistically have a long shelf-life on WWE television. I just believe that Lesnar should have gotten the win, with Punk claiming a rematch down the line and winning. Punk winning in one match against Lesnar makes him look better than Triple H, which makes me laugh. Hm, again, not happy about Bray Wyatt being used in a buffer match, as it potentially kills Wyatt's momentum - nobody would have been interested in Wyatt and Kane's match after Lesnar/Punk, and before Daniel Bryan/John Cena. I'd have rather had Wyatt cut a simple promo or something, and save this match for another night or pay-per-view. Wyatt winning was fine, in his in-ring debut. Finally, a strange but solid main event, showcasing a "passing the torch" like angle with Daniel Bryan finally winning the WWE Championship. I can't see how Bryan will be utilized as WWE Champion - as first-time WWE Championship holders have notably been used as upper mid-carders in recent years (CM Punk, Sheamus, Rob Van Dam, Eddie Guerrero are all examples), or whether he'll have too long a title reign, and I can't see Cena being without the WWE Championship for long, either. But nonetheless, a solid show with a deep, firm, good base for a diary to begin with, as we move forward with this diary. I look forward to it, like I said before, I hope it's a long one. Good luck.

Monday Night Raw; August 19, 2013 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California
It's been twenty-four hours since WWE SummerSlam, and what a show it was! A new World Heavyweight Champion was crowned, CM Punk defeated the monstrous Brock Lesnar, and Daniel Bryan finally lived his dream, becoming the new WWE Champion! Tonight, Daniel Bryan is sure to get an incredible response, and he will be in the building to address the WWE Universe on his huge victory. Speaking of which, here he comes now!
The theme of Daniel Bryan hits and the WWE Universe explode as the new WWE Champion makes his way out onto the stage, holding his title belt in the air in celebration. He sidesteps his way to the ring, shouting "YES!" in unison with the fans who are clearly enjoying the moment just as much. Bryan slides into the ring and continues to celebrate before taking the microphone from ringside and preparing to speak to the fans. "This has been a life-long dream of mine, and finally, here I am". The crowd applaud Bryan as he becomes slightly emotional in the ring. He says how this victory has meant everything to him, and he has finally proven that he is not the weak link, and that he has what it takes, despite everyone telling him he'd never amount to anything in the WWE. He goes back to his NXT days, mentioning how Michael Cole often spoke of how he was nothing more than an "internet darling". Cole hangs his head in shame, JBL telling him he's an idiot, but Bryan says he's forgiven all those who doubted him, because this means much more than that. Suddenly, the theme of John Cena hits to a large mixed reaction, and Bryan looks towards the stage as Cena makes his way out.
Reaching the ring with a smile on his face, John Cena speaks. "The WWE Championship means everything to me, I'd do anything to hold onto it for as long as possible, but you deserved that victory last night. You were the better man, and for that, I congratulate you". Cena gets a cheer and Bryan nods his head in appreciation. Cena then approaches Bryan and tells him that he respects the hell out of him, but he's telling him that he's got a rematch clause, and he wants to give the WWE Universe another special match, therefore he is challenging Bryan to a rematch for the WWE Championship at Night of Champions. The crowd pop and Bryan looks down at the title in his hand. He looks up, ready to reply when suddenly... the theme of The Shield hits as the crowd gasp in horror. Cena and Bryan know exactly what's going on and instantly prepare themselves for battle. Sure enough, the United States Champion, Dean Ambrose and the WWE Tag Team Champions, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns emerge in the crowd. They descend the steps of the arena and finally reach ringside. They surround the ring and prepare to attack. They slide into the ring and the brawl begins! Cena and Bryan try to hold their own, but the numbers game is too much. But then...
Rob Van Dam is here! The crowd erupt as Mr. Monday Night rushes to the ring to help out Cena and Bryan. Eventually, Cena, Bryan and RVD fend off the Hounds of Justice and send them retreating back through the crowd. This all-star team of John Cena, Rob Van Dam and the WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan is a force to be reckoned with. The scene fades to black.
Returning to Raw, the General Manager, Brad Maddox is backstage, speaking with Theodore Long. Maddox thanks Long for being here tonight and we learn that apparently, Maddox has hired Long to Raw as his assistant after Vickie Guerrero fired him from SmackDown. Maddox says that he saw what just happened out there, and he's all about making Raw the best show out there, and so he makes the Main Event for tonight a Six-Man Tag Team Match between The Shield and the team of Daniel Bryan, John Cena and Rob Van Dam! The crowd erupt and Long seems surprised by Maddox's good decision. We have our Main Event!
ERICK ROWAN & LUKE HARPER def. TONS OF FUNK; This was the first match for the two Wyatt Family members, Harper and Rowan. With Bray Wyatt looking on from his rocking chair by ringside, the mysterious duo were able to take out the dancing powerhouses. They finished off Tensai with a Double Side Sit-Out Chokeslam for the victory.
After the match, Bray Wyatt creepily slid into the ring and leaned over Tensai as Brodus Clay laid on the outside, The Funkadactyls tending to him. Wyatt tells the WWE Universe that his "family" have officially arrived and he will teach everyone the truth in due time. Kane was only the beginning. The Wyatt Family leave the ring after those chilling words.
We go backstage to where the Diva's Champion, AJ Lee and Big E Langston are standing and talking about last night. AJ says Kaitlyn crossed the line kissing Big E last night. Big E says it was out of nowhere and he didn't expect it. She asks him if he enjoyed it and Big E stutters, saying he didn't and he tried to shove her off. AJ says that Kaitlyn thinks she can outsmart her, but she can't. She promises that Kaitlyn will get what's coming to her in the worst way.
CHRISTIAN def. JACK SWAGGER; After their loss to Christian and The Miz in the SummerSlam Kick-Off, Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro were looking for some retribution in this one-on-one contest. But once again, they came up short. The Miz came to Christian's aid during the match, preventing Cesaro from getting involved, and allowed Christian to hit the Spear on Jack Swagger for the victory.
We are shown a few clips from last night's SummerSlam during the match between Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes. We then return to Raw to see Damien Sandow in the back alongside Josh Mathews, his briefcase firmly in his hand. Mathews asks Sandow is he really places the briefcase over his friendship with Cody. Sandow says that the contents of the briefcase are worth more than most things. But Sandow says that he offered Cody a chance to stay by his side by making him the protector of the briefcase, but he threw it back in his face. Sandow says he won't tolerate that kind of behaviour, and if Cody Rhodes wants to behave like a child, then he's going to let him. Just then, the holder of the other Money in the Bank briefcase, Randy Orton walks onto the scene to a mixed reaction. Orton tells Sandow that he shouldn't be concerning himself with Cody Rhodes, because tonight, he has to worry about Randy Orton. Orton leaves and Sandow calls him an ignoramus.
RANDY ORTON def. DAMIEN SANDOW; Both holders of the Money in the Bank contracts, squaring off live on Raw! Damien Sandow held his own against The Viper, but it seems his antics as of late may have come back to bite him as Cody Rhodes arrive at ringside to a huge pop from the WWE Universe. He grabbed Sandow's briefcase from ringside and proceeded to leave with it, distracting Sandow and causing him to scream at the referee to go and fetch it for him. Unfortunately, Sandow turned around into a huge RKO, giving Orton the victory.
Rhodes stood on top of the stage with Sandow's briefcase, holding it above his head, the WWE Universe behind him all the way. Sandow recovers from the RKO and looks up the ramp, almost crying that his briefcase had been stolen.
We are told that later tonight, CM Punk will address the WWE Universe regarding what happened last night against Brock Lesnar. Will Paul Heyman get involved? Is Brock Lesnar once again gone from the WWE? Who knows. That's later tonight - don't miss it!
ALBERTO DEL RIO def. SHEAMUS; A rivalry revisited, but with much different implications. Alberto Del Rio was furious that he had lost the World Heavyweight Championship last night, and his anger was very much obvious. Sheamus gave it his all, but the frustration of Del Rio practically fuelled him the entire match and after some vicious kicks to the skull, Del Rio locked in the Cross-Armbreaker and Sheamus had no choice but to submit.
The new World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler is backstage to a huge ovation from the California crowd. He is lacing up his boots for his match later on tonight when suddenly, in walks Kaitlyn to another pop. They stand across from each other and Kaitlyn says that he knows that they've been on opposite sides for a long time now, but tonight, they're being put in a mixed tag team match, and she wants them to be on the same page. Ziggler agrees, and says that he's got some unfinished business with Big E, and she has unfinished business with AJ. Tonight, they stick to their goals, and everything should run smoothly. Kaitlyn agrees and the two shake hands.
DOLPH ZIGGLER & KAITLYN def. BIG E LANGSTON & AJ LEE; These four have completely imploded as of late, but Ziggler coming off a huge victory last night helped him out a lot. However, the big story was Kaitlyn kissing Big E to distract him from the World Heavyweight Championship Match. And even more confusing - she did it again. Kaitlyn kissed Big E, and he seemed to be dazed for a moment, which allowed Ziggler to come out of nowhere and hit him with the ZigZag and hook the leg for the victory.
Dolph Ziggler and Kaitlyn celebrated as Big E rolled out of the ring and AJ Lee began screaming at him for letting Kaitlyn take advantage of him yet again. Big E became frustrated with AJ's screaming, but he didn't take it out on her, he quickly re-entered the ring and clotheslined the hell out of Dolph Ziggler! Kaitlyn looked on, trying to get Big E to stop but he lifted Ziggler up and planted him with the Big Ending. Langston slowly walked past Kaitlyn and left the ring. AJ stopped screaming and started smirking as she left with Big E, waving goodbye to Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn tended to Ziggler as the scene fades away.
The fans erupt as the theme of CM Punk blasts throughout the arena and he makes his way to the ring. He doesn't look too happy considering he did just defeat Brock Lesnar last night at SummerSlam, but he is here nonetheless. He grabs a microphone and begins to address the fans. He says that defeating Brock Lesnar not only allowed him to stick it to Paul Heyman, but it proved that he doesn't need Heyman by his side. He says that Heyman wanted to throw their friendship away simply because he wanted to go it alone. Punk says that it's over now, and with Heyman out of the picture, he can now focus on bigger things, namely the WWE Championship. But then suddenly, the theme of Curtis Axel hits... what does he wants?
The Intercontinental Champion, Curtis Axel makes his way to the ring, and Paul Heyman is very close behind him. The duo enter the ring and Heyman takes the microphone. Heyman says that CM Punk thinks he has gotten away with it, saying that Punk always thinks he's got the job done when really, he hasn't. We are reminded of CM Punk's loss to the Undertaker at WrestleMania, Heyman saying that Punk isn't the man he used to be, because he's become an idol to these people, and that's when people start to fail. Heyman says he's spent his entire career despising each and every member of the WWE Universe, and it's brought him great success. Punk says this has nothing to do with the fans, it's between them, and he's defeated Brock Lesnar, so it's done, Heyman has nothing more to throw at him. Heyman says that's not true, and Curtis Axel steps in front of him. Heyman says that Curtis Axel is more than capable of putting CM Punk away, and Brock Lesnar isn't through with CM Punk either. He promises Punk that in time, he will crumble and will be left with nothing. Punk tells Heyman that he'll take whatever he's got, and he'll come out on top. Heyman laughs, and suddenly, Curtis Axel attacks! He delivers hard rights to Punk one after another as Heyman hops out of the ring. Axel is taking control of the former World Champion, but suddenly, Punk fights back and eventually clotheslines Axel over the top rope and down to the floor. It seems it isn't over between Punk and Heyman... far from over.
RYBACK def. R-TRUTH; Getting an enormous victory over the Big Show last night wasn't what Ryback expected as he was on the receiving end of a Knockout Punch shortly afterwards, suggesting it wasn't over between the two behemoths. However, Ryback ran right through R-Truth tonight on Raw, finishing him off with a Shell Shocked.
Afterwards, Ryback took a microphone surprisingly. He told the Big Show that nobody gets away with what Big Show did last night, and he'll be coming for him. Ryback drops the microphone and takes Truth out with a big Meat Hook Clothesline as he gets back to his feet.
We go backstage to see Josh Mathews once again backstage, but this time with the WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan. There are tons of "YES!" chants throughout the building. Mathews asks Bryan if he accepts John Cena's challenge from earlier, and Bryan says that the WWE Championship means a lot to him, but he needs to prove he's a fighting Champion, and says that if John Cena wants a shot at the title, then he's got it. Bryan then leaves, ready for the Main Event.
DANIEL BRYAN, JOHN CENA & ROB VAN DAM def. THE SHIELD; After the show opened up with Daniel Bryan and John Cena exchanging words, The Shield made their presence felt, only to have the score evened up by Rob Van Dam. Brad Maddox made this match earlier tonight. Things started off with John Cena and Roman Reigns, and Cena being incredibly used to The Shield's antics by now allowed him to put up a decent fight. The match, as expected, broke down eventually, all six men getting some action in, but in the end, Rob Van Dam was able to hit Seth Rollins with a huge Five-Star Frog Splash! However, Reigns Speared RVD out of the ring. John Cena lifted Reigns up and planted him with an Attitude Adjustment! Out of nowhere, Dean Ambrose hit Cena with a vicious Headlock Driver! Daniel Bryan then delivered a thunderous running dropkick to Ambrose sending him flying out of the ring. Bryan didn't see Seth Rollins getting to his feet behind him, and turned around into a flying knee... but Bryan ducked! Rollins bounced off the ropes and right into the Yes! Lock, screaming in pain as Bryan wrenched back. Eventually, Seth Rollins had no choice but to tap out!
The crowd erupted as Daniel Bryan jumped to his feet in celebration. Rob Van Dam and John Cena re-entered the ring and celebrated with the WWE Champion. The Shield retreated with their titles, having lost a match, which was a rarity for them. Daniel Bryan raised the WWE Championship above his head, but then turned to John Cena and the two shared a serious stare. RVD stepped between, keeping the peace for now and the WWE Universe chanted "YES!" as the scene fades to black.

WWE Main Event; August 21, 2013 at the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, California
ANTONIO CESARO def. THE MIZ; It was during the SummerSlam Kick-Off that Christian and The Miz got the win over the "Real Americans", Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger, and then on Raw Christian was able to score the pinfall on Jack Swagger in singles action. Tonight, we saw the other half of the situation face off, but the result was in favour of Zeb Colter's boys this time around, despite Christian's presence at ringside. On the outside, Christian had a confrontation with Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger that distracted both The Miz and the referee. It was this that allowed Cesaro to deliver a low blow to Miz and turn him around before lifting him up and planting him with the Neutralizer for the victory.
The Real Americans left along with Zeb Colter, knowing full well that they practically just stole a victory. Christian tended to his fallen friend in the ring, and the WWE Universe didn't take too kindly to Cesaro's dastardly actions.
We see a recap of this Monday on Raw when Bray Wyatt and the rest of the family, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper disposed of Tons of Funk following a tag team match. We see Wyatt's speech after the match, sending chills throughout the WWE Universe, claiming that Kane was only the beginning. What did Bray Wyatt mean? What's next for the Wyatt Family? How much more dangerous can they be?
Backstage, Renee Young is alongside Fandango and Summer Rae, who's pops are getting bigger by the week, seemingly turning a new leaf and becoming more comical than serious. She asks Fandango if he was disappointed to lose to Curtis Axel at SummerSlam, and he says that he was, but nothing can deter him from achieving more, because he always has a spring in his step. He says his name before leaving, ready for the next match.
FANDANGO def. DARREN YOUNG; With the WWE Universe singing along to his catchy theme song, Fandango looked to be in a great position. Darren Young, accompanied by his tag team partner, Titus O'Neil was looking to get this big win and break the Prime Time Players' losing streak once and for all, but it wasn't meant to be, as following a big Diving Leg Drop, Fandango picked up the win.
Young left the ring in disappointment, being helped up the ramp by O'Neil as Fandango and Summer Rae shared a celebratory dance in the center of the ring, complete with purple and gold lighting. The fans seem to be warming to Fandango just as he is warming to them. Big things ahead for this young superstar.

Friday Night SmackDown; August 23, 2013 at the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, California
SmackDown opens up with the sound of Dolph Ziggler's theme to a huge pop from this California crowd. He walks down the ramp, his newly won World Heavyweight Championship around his waist as he grinds his hips. He enters the ring and begins to speak to the WWE Universe. Ziggler says he's scratched and clawed his way back to this position, and there's nothing than can bring him down from this high. But he may have spoken too soon as AJ Lee and Big E Langston emerge from the stage. AJ tells Dolph that it isn't over between them, and it will only be over when she says it is. AJ says she'll get her hands on "that cow", Kaitlyn, and Big E will crush Ziggler. Ziggler tells Big E to give him his best shot as the duo approach the ring. Just as Big E is about to climb into the ring, the theme of Alberto Del Rio hits to a large amount of boos. The former World Champion declares that Ziggler's victory was nothing more than a fluke at SummerSlam, and he is going to prove that by taking the World Heavyweight Championship back - tonight! He reveals he is cashing in his rematch clause in tonight's Main Event, and Ziggler looks ready to show the world why he deserves to be the World Heavyweight Champion.
CODY RHODES def. DAMIEN SANDOW; Following his loss at SummerSlam, Cody Rhodes was more than frustrated. He cost Sandow a match against Randy Orton on Raw, but tonight, got his revenge up close and personal, defeating Sandow in singles action following a Cross-Rhodes. Cody celebrated the victory as Sandow fled, clutching his briefcase.
THE USOS def. 3MB (SLATER & MCINTYRE); Teaming up with Mark Henry gave The Usos a huge boost, despite coming up short against The Shield. They redeemed their loss tonight, defeating two members of 3MB in tag team action. The Usos were not finished with their quest for tag team gold.
We see a replay of what happened on Raw when Rob Van Dam came to the aid of John Cena and Daniel Bryan, and then went on to defeat The Shield in the Main Event in Six-Man Tag Team action. We are told that this Monday on Raw, Rob Van Dam will take on Dean Ambrose in a non-title match, but up next, Rob Van Dam will be in action against Wade Barrett - next!
ROB VAN DAM def. WADE BARRETT; A big victory on Raw alongside John Cena and the new WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan put Rob Van Dam back in the spotlight, and this Monday on Raw gets the chance to knock off the United States Champion in non-title action. But tonight, the former World Champion had a bigger threat to worry about, but dealt with it accordingly, putting Barrett away with the Five-Star Frog Splash and sending a message to Ambrose for Raw.
BIG SHOW def. TITUS O'NEIL; The World's Largest Athlete returned to action at SummerSlam to take on the monstrous Ryback, and unfortunately suffered a loss. But Big Show had the last laugh when he dropped Ryback with a huge Knockout Punch after the match was over. Tonight, another Knockout Punch landed, this time on Titus O'Neil giving Big Show the victory. But following his win, Ryback himself came to the ring and stood face-to-face with the giant before unloading on him with rights and lefts. However, Big Show once again got the finishing blow, shoving Ryback over the top rope and down to the floor. Big Show celebrated with the WWE Universe as Ryback left in frustration.
We see a replay of the confrontation between CM Punk and the Intercontinental Champion, Curtis Axel on Raw following Punk's loss to Lesnar at SummerSlam. We are told that CM Punk will be in action on Raw, taking Axel on in singles action. Can CM Punk stick it to Paul Heyman by defeating his latest client?
CURTIS AXEL def. ZACK RYDER; In preparation for the match just announced between Axel and Punk, Axel was looking to get a victory here tonight over the Long Island Iced-Z, Zack Ryder. He did it with ease, finishing Ryder off with the Perfect Plex for the victory. Axel was ready to face CM Punk, and Paul Heyman looked confident in his client that he would get the job done.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH - DOLPH ZIGGLER © def. ALBERTO DEL RIO; Earlier tonight, Alberto Del Rio revealed he was cashing in his rematch clause in tonight's Main Event, and he brought the fight to the new Champion, Dolph Ziggler. But in the end, it was ironically AJ Lee that assisted Ziggler in his title retain as she and Big E Langston approached ringside, apparently to try and prevent Ziggler from winning, but when Kaitlyn made her presence felt, attacking the Divas Champion, the distraction it caused allowed Ziggler to capitalise, hitting Del Rio with the ZigZag and retaining the World Heavyweight Championship.
Dolph Ziggler celebrated his victory, but not for long as Big E Langston entered the ring and dropped him with a clothesline. AJ Lee somehow managed to escape Kaitlyn's grasp, throwing her into the ring post and taking her down. Big E lifted Ziggler up and planted him with the Big Ending, sending SmackDown to an impactful close.

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 19th August 2013...Obvious start to the show with Daniel Bryan kicking off the show, the new WWE Champion. I liked the detailing of the conversation with Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield. John Cena interrupting was expected, as we bring back in some competition for Bryan as WWE Champion; and Cena will most likely get a rematch at Night of Champions. Huh? The Shield interrupting, and then Rob Van Dam making the save was nice. I'd just be pretty surprised to see RVD enter the WWE Championship hunt with Cena and Bryan, especially after eating a loss to Randy Orton at SummerSlam...wouldn't Orton be higher up on the totem pole? This effectively sets up the main event, nonetheless. Brad Maddox and Theodore Long confirming the main event was an obvious call...I don't like that Maddox will now have Teddy as an assistant, I'd have preferred to see Maddox as the sole RAW General Manager. He has so much potential to be a classic heel authority figure. I see so much Eric Bischoff in him. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper with a win against Tons of Funk is fine, not a lot to add to that. I'd have preferred a stronger opening contest, if I do say so myself. Bray Wyatt then having words for the WWE locker room is cool, I wonder who is next for the Wyatt Family to target. Oh, perhaps Big E Langston could have a crush on Kaitlyn after last night's kiss at SummerSlam? Interesting words from AJ Lee, perhaps extending the most memorable Divas division angle in some years. I wouldn't mind another WWE Divas Championship match between Kailtyn and AJ at Night of Champions - as long as that is their final encounter. We've seen one too many matches between those two at this point. Christian and Jack Swagger would have made for a better opening contest, me thinks. Christian defeating Swagger was a decent win for the veteran, but didn't really do much for Swagger or Antonio Cesaro - a tag team that could have so much potential in the near future. An establishing win for Christian, anyway. Damien Sandow's interview was really nice, and this sets up the match with Randy Orton. A pretty nice exchange of words, ahead of the battle of Money in the Bank winners. Orton was clearly going to win, and this finish almost replicated last week's episode of RAW, with Cody Rhodes getting involved. Do we really need to see an extended rivalry between Rhodes and Sandow? I thought their match at SummerSlam would have been fine as it was. I can't see Brock Lesnar appearing in the WWE again until the Royal Rumble, if not sooner. We'll see tonight. Alberto Del Rio with a victory against Sheamus was fine, a solid match-up. Del Rio winning came as a big surprise to me, for some reason. Del Rio needed the win however, coming out of losing the World Heavyweight Championship. Dolph Ziggler and Kaitlyn exchanging words ahead of the mixed tag team match was fine, I hope to see Ziggler break out of this feud with Big E Langston though, he needs more, as World Heavyweight Champion. Ziggler and Kaitlyn with a victory against Langston and AJ Lee was expected, Ziggler with a clean win on Langston, albeit with some assistance from the pursuing Kaitlyn. Langston is a love monster. Up next, a decent promo from CM Punk, discussing his chase of Paul Heyman, and overcoming Brock Lesnar. Curtis Axel interrupting was acceptable, and the exchange between Punk and Axel was strange, because I don't think that Axel is on the same level as Punk at all just yet. Axel is still new and trying to get over with the WWE Universe, so I don't think a feud between the two sides would be too cool. Let's hope it happens on RAW and not a pay-per-view. A decent third-hour opening segment. Ryback with a win against R-Truth was fine, as expected. Heh, more tough words from Ryback. I like his bully gimmick, very contrasting to the Be-A-Star campaign. Man, there are a lot of interviews on this show...which is strange, because typically we are lucky to see even one on an episode of RAW. A decent main event win for Daniel Bryan, John Cena and Rob Van Dam against the Shield, although it didn't give any clear implication on the future...I think that the Shield need something new: more competition, more challenge to their WWE United States and WWE Tag Team Championship gold. Additionally, I'd have liked to have seen more hype behind this match; why did the Shield even try and insert their business into the WWE Championship scene? The story of the match is awkward and strange to me. Cena and Bryan continuing their feud potentially could be good: I just wouldn't like to see RVD involved with it. Overall, a decent starter edition of RAW for this diary. I liked it, but it was missing a little. There wasn't much to keep excited for, going into RAWs in the future. Only two or three storylines advanced out of this edition of RAW, really. And to nitpick, maybe another match or two and more segments would have aided this show from feeling "too short", or in the main event's case, "backstory-less". Overall though, a decent fallout show.
WWE Main Event: Wednesday 21st August 2013...Antonio Cesaro with a win against the Miz is fine, not bad at all. Nothing new either, but I'm glad that the Real Americans got one win this week on television, at least. Hmm, I found the recap of the Wyatt Family's win from RAW pretty pointless, there should have been some new follow-up of news from that, perhaps some more words from Bray Wyatt, or comments from other WWE superstars or something. I suppose that Fandango has become a full-fledged face. Not bad at all. Fandango then defeating Darren Young was fine. Overall though, I think that this show was pretty passable. Nothing worth watching at all, and no new angles set in place. Additionally, I think this show would have benefitted from another match, perhaps.
WWE Friday Night SmackDown: Friday 23rd August 2013...Dolph Ziggler opening up the show was fine, an extension of his business with Big E Langston and AJ Lee. Oh, okay, Alberto Del Rio has some more input for the World Heavyweight Champion. Del Rio challenging Ziggler tonight should rest their business once and for all, and should be a good main event ratings boost. Cody Rhodes defeating Damien Sandow was a good win for Rhodes, although I wonder what is next for Rhodes and Sandow; unless a rubber match will happen? A strong opening contest makes for a nice change from RAW. The Usos defeating 3MB was fine, no Jinder Mahal tonight? Jimmy and Jey redeemed themselves after suffering the loss with Mark Henry to the Shield, last Sunday at SummerSlam. Up next, a decent match between Rob Van Dam and Wade Barrett, with RVD inevitably getting the victory. Ah, Rob Van Dam is facing Dean Ambrose on Monday Night RAW? I sense that RVD will win, bringing us forward to the WWE United States Championship match between the two come Night of Champions. Quite lazy with the segments tonight, or lack of them. Eh, this is SmackDown. That's fine. Big Show managing to defeat Titus O'Neil was fine, but didn't do much else for me. Show continuing his feud with Ryback doesn't make me too glad, really. Eh, it gives both men something to do. Curtis Axel defeating Zack Ryder was expected; but defeating a man that hasn't been relevant in over a year won't do the WWE Intercontinental Champion any favors prior to a feud with the high-profile CM Punk. I like Axel, but he isn't ready yet. And finally, a decent win for Dolph Ziggler against Alberto Del Rio, as Ziggler retained the World Heavyweight Championship. I'm sensing that Big E Langston is next in line for a title shot, but I don't think this feud needs the title at all; I don't think Langston is at this stage just yet. Overall though, another realistic show. Nothing special, this first week of television into this diary, but I'm expecting some changes beginning from next week. A reasonable start to what will hopefully be a lengthy diary.

Even though your diaries don't last the longest sometimes, they're always among my favorite to read. Your presentation is fantastic and again, I dig the layout of this diary. Onto Smackdown, smart to open with the new World Heavyweight Champion and I like Del Rio getting right into his rematch clause. Hopefully, a clean Ziggler win tonight will allow for a fresh match at the next PPV. Cody evening the score with Sandow was good, I can see this culminating in another Ladder match or something with the briefcase on the line. The Usos winning was the right call, I really like them and hope they get pushed. RVD beating Barrett was solid, and you mentioning that he's back in the spotlight may lead to RVD/Ziggler for the World Title which I don't hate. Show/Ryback continuing was expected, they could have a decent feud although I would've liked it more when Ryback was a face. Nothing you can do about that though. Axel gaining a legit win before facing Punk is smart, but he has no chance on Raw. Ziggler winning clean was the right call, but I may have been wrong about RVD. Big E's attack makes it seem like he's next, but I don't see him being ready for a World Title shot. Maybe in a multi man match involving Del Rio or RVD or someone. Anyway, good show overall, a lot of places you can go with this.

Monday Night Raw; August 26, 2013 at the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona
A recap of last week is shown when the new WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan was confronted by John Cena who showed a large amount of respect for Bryan and challenged him to a rematch at Night of Champions. But the moment was ruined by The Shield, who came out and targeted the Champion and his challenger. However, Rob Van Dam was the man who came out to even the score, and went on to team with Cena and Bryan in the Main Event, defeating The Shield in Six-Man Tag Team action! Tonight, The Miz will host a special edition of MizTV featuring the WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan and John Cena in which Miz has promised to get an official announcement concerning the Night of Champions rematch and if it will go ahead.
Monday Night Raw opens up with the theme of the Money in the Bank holder, Randy Orton, who came out to a mixed reaction. Why was the Viper coming out here? He slowly strolled towards the ring, his briefcase tightly clutched in his right hand. Justin Roberts handed Orton the microphone and the former World Champion began to speak. "All this talk about the so-called epic rematch, yet no mention of this", Orton says as he raises the briefcase to head level. He says that many people expected him to ruin Daniel Bryan's moment at SummerSlam and cash-in, but he says he is cleverer than that. Orton says that when the time is right, he will know, and he will strike, vowing that he will become WWE Champion when the time comes. He mentions Daniel Bryan, saying it's a great story, coming from the ground up to become WWE Champion in the Main Event of one of the biggest events in the industry, but Orton says he doesn't care for fairytales. He says that when it comes down to it, with the WWE Championship at stake, that's all that matters, and if it means crushing someone's dreams, then so be it. The crowd boo, but Orton says that it's the name of the game, and whether he cashes in on Daniel Bryan, John Cena, or anyone in the back who may have the chance in the future, it will all end the same, and that will be with an RKO. But his speech is cut there as the theme of none other than the WWE Champion himself, Daniel Bryan hits to an enormous pop. Bryan comes out with a smile on his face, screaming "Yes!" as he sidesteps to the ring.
Bryan grabs a microphone and stands opposite the Viper before speaking. He says that he's been listening to what Orton had to say, and he respect it. Bryan says that he's been in Orton's position before, and he knows that when you see the opportunity, you take it, that's what the briefcase is there for. Bryan says that when the time comes, he'll be ready for Orton's challenge. Orton says that Bryan might not even be the Champion by the time he decides to cash-in, but Bryan disagrees, saying that he hasn't come all this way for nothing. He says that he's spent his entire life climbing this mountain to become the number one guy in the wrestling world, and he's finally done it. He says he won't be letting that slip away any time soon. Orton congratulates Bryan on his big victory, but he warns him that he should be watching his back at each and every moment, because when the time comes, he won't hesitate to put him out of his misery. Bryan says he welcomes it with open arms, just like he is going to welcome John Cena's challenge later tonight. Orton smirks and walks around Bryan, leaving the ring as the scene fades to black.
ROB VAN DAM def. DEAN AMBROSE (via DQ); This match was revealed this past Friday on SmackDown as a non-title encounter between these two unorthodox competitors. They battled it out back and forth, putting on a clinic in the ring. Rob Van Dam edged closer to victory, setting Ambrose up for the Five-Star Frog Splash, but out of nowhere, Roman Reigns appeared and shoved Van Dam off the top rope and down to the barricade, causing the disqualification.
The WWE Universe booed as Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns picked Van Dam up and threw him back into the ring to a waiting Dean Ambrose. They slid under the ropes and surrounded the former World Champion. Van Dam got to his feet, but was immediately grabbed by Ambrose and planted on the top of his head with the Bulldog Driver. The Shield stood tall with each of their titles belts.
Backstage, CM Punk is in his locker room to a huge pop. He is taping his wrists, ready for his match with Curtis Axel later tonight. Josh Mathews walks in and tries to get a few words with Punk. He asks him if he thinks Paul Heyman might have something up his sleeve tonight, and Punk says "Definitely". He says that Heyman always has something up his sleeve, he's known him long enough to know that. Punk tells Mathews that Heyman will have something planned for him, but it's his job to overcome whatever Heyman throws his way, and he will continue to do that until he finally gets his hands around Heyman's throat and gets his revenge. Punk promises to put Curtis Axel to sleep tonight, and then it will be Paul Heyman's turn.
KAITLYN def. LAYLA; After turning on her friend, Layla sided with the Divas Champion, AJ Lee, who was at commentary for this match. Kaitlyn managed to put her emotions aside and focus on the match, delivering a thunderous Spear to Layla and pinning her for the victory.
After the match, Kaitlyn left the ring and confronted AJ Lee at commentary, only to receive a sharp slap to the face from the crazy Champion. This infuriated Kaitlyn who lunged at her rival, the two brawling next to the commentary table, forcing JBL to try and break them up along with the referee. This rivalry is boiling over, and it needs to come to an end.
The Raw General Manager, Brad Maddox is backstage alongside his assistant, Teddy Long. Maddox says that tonight's MizTV will be the best one yet, and we'll find out if we're going to have a huge WWE Championship rematch at Night of Champions. Suddenly, the two are interrupted by Ryback to a ton of heat. Maddox stands behind Teddy Long as Long asks what he can do for Ryback. Ryback says that he wants a match tonight on Raw to show the Big Show what he is really capable of. Long is apparently about to tell Ryback that there was nothing for him, but Maddox cuts him off. Maddox says that he has the perfect idea for a match to show Ryback's true power. Maddox says that up next, Ryback will go one-on-one with the World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry in a WrestleMania rematch! The crowd cheer and Ryback likes it, claiming he will make sure what happened at WrestleMania doesn't happen again.
RYBACK def. MARK HENRY; Two behemoths battling it out once again, their last encounter at WrestleMania XXIX back in April. This time, the outcome was completely different as Ryback showed his brute force and most definitely sent a clear message to the Big Show, lifting Henry up and planting him with the Shell-Shocked for the victory.
Ryback stood over his fallen opponent and screamed "Big Show - that's what you'll get! Ryback rules!". Ryback grabs the referee and throws him out of the ring as Mark Henry gets back to his feet. He drills Henry with a Meat Hook clothesline, taking him back down to the canvas! This is one mean individual.
We are told that this Wednesday on WWE Main Event, there will be a Tag Team Turmoil Match to determine who will take on The Shield at Night of Champions for the WWE Tag Team Championships. We see clips of tag teams like The Usos and the Prime Time Players amongst others. Who will come out on top and earn their shot at the titles? Tune in this Wednesday to find out!
PRIME TIME PLAYERS def. PRIMO & EPICO; Showcasing two of the teams taking part in this Wednesday's Tag Team Turmoil Match, Titus O'Neil and Darren Young took on the recently absent Primo and Epico. The cousins from Puerto Rico returning tonight on Raw, but unfortunately came up short after Darren Young hit a huge Gut Check on Epico for the victory.
The Prime Time Players celebrate, actually receiving quite a pop from the WWE Universe. Michael Cole and the team congratulate Darren Young on his recent "coming out" and says he is a role model to many people around the world. He and O'Neil leave ringside.
We are told that up next, the Intercontinental Champion, Curtis Axel will take on CM Punk in one-on-one action. A split-screen is shown, CM Punk on the left and Axel on the right alongside Paul Heyman, both walking towards the ringside area. Paul Heyman appears to be briefing Axel as he walks forward, but will it be enough? Raw fades to a commercial break.
CM PUNK def. CURTIS AXEL; These two "Paul Heyman Guys" clashed in what was a great contest. Paul Heyman stood by ringside, clearly in support of Axel as he went toe-to-toe with the former World Champion, CM Punk. Axel put up one hell of a fight against his adversary, but Punk's concentration and his obvious hatred for Heyman fuelled him to the end where he slipped out of a swinging neckbreaker attempt from Axel and lifted him onto his shoulders before hitting him with the Go To Sleep and hooking the leg.
Paul Heyman was highly disappointed, but CM Punk raises his hands in celebration. But he wasn't finished as he turned his attention to Paul Heyman on the outside. Heyman saw and begged Punk to leave him alone, but Punk bolted out of the ring in pursuit of Heyman, the former ECW Messiah high-tailing it up the ramp. The two disappeared from sight through the stage, Curtis Axel coming to and realising he was left alone.
The World Heavyweight Champion, Dolph Ziggler is backstage being interviewed by Josh Mathews. Mathews asks Ziggler if he sees Big E Langston as a big threat to his World Heavyweight Championship after being laid out by him on multiple occasions. Ziggler says that Big E is a monster, no doubt, and he could very well be a title contender, but he will stop at nothing to retain this Championship he has fought so hard for. Suddenly, Big E Langston walks onto the scene to some heat, alongside the Divas Champion, AJ Lee. Big E snatches the microphone from Mathews and says that nothing would please him more than to watch Ziggler cry as he took the World Heavyweight Championship away from him. AJ steps in and says that she would savour Ziggler's tears as a reminder of hos she got her revenge for when Ziggler broke her heart. AJ gets in Ziggler's face, which is when out of nowhere - Kaitlyn hits the scene! Kaitlyn tackles AJ through the interview set and the two brawl just like they did earlier. Big E goes for drag Kaitlyn off, but Ziggler lunges himself at Langston and they begin to brawl as well! All hell breaks loose as bother superstars and referees rush to the scene to stop the carnage.
BRAY WYATT def. KOFI KINGSTON; In what was Bray Wyatt's first match on Raw, and only his second match on WWE TV, he went head-to-head with the former multi-time Intercontinental and United States Champion, Kofi Kingston. But even the high-flying style of Kingston wasn't enough to combat the absurd style of Bray Wyatt. With his Family members, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper by ringside, Wyatt defeated Kingston when he hit him with the move he calls the Sister Abigail.
The Wyatt Family celebrate in their own fashion, with Wyatt on his knees, arms spread as Rowan and Harper stand behind him. Wyatt is handed a microphone and speaks into it, slowly and maniacally. "At SummerSlam... Kane was faced with the truths I provide... he followed the buzzards... and we gave him what he wanted...". He says that others can be saved as Kane has been, and it's only a matter of time before the truth is revealed to many more. He drops the microphone and the Wyatt Family leave, having totally creeped out the WWE Universe.
We are told that this Friday on SmackDown, Rob Van Dam will once again take on Dean Ambrose, but this time, The Shield will be banned from ringside! Can RVD defeat Ambrose when the numbers game is at bay?
THE USOS def. THE REAL AMERICANS; In the second match tonight showcasing the tag teams in this Wednesday's Tag Team Turmoil match, The Usos were able to overcome the fairly new teaming of Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro. Even Zeb Colter's ringside presence couldn't save them from the high octane action The Usos provided, finishing the match with the Uso Splash on Swagger.
The Usos celebrated their victory, aiming to gain some momentum going into WWE Main Event and hopefully receive another shot at the WWE Tag Team Championships, but with many teams competing, it's not going to be easy.
Brad Maddox is once against seen backstage, along with Teddy Long. They are talking about Night of Champions again when in walks the Intercontinental Champion, Curtis Axel to some heat. He asks Maddox and Long if they have seen Heyman, because he thinks Punk has abducted him. Maddox says that he can;t have anything like that on his show and rushes off to go and try to find Heyman. Axel is left with Teddy Long. Suddenly, Christian walks in to a huge pop and says he's here to see Maddox but he just saw him rush out. Long says if he can help then he will, and Christian says that he was hoping Maddox could look into him getting a match at Night of Champions. Long thinks, and then looks at Curtis Axel, he then seems to have an idea. Long says that next week on Raw, it will be Curtis Axel versus Christian in a non-title match, and if Christian wins, then he will receive a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. Christian smiles, saying he likes that idea, but Axel doesn't look too pleased. He storms off as Christian smiles into the camera.
ALBERTO DEL RIO def. BIG SHOW; A rivalry renewed as these two collided here on Raw. Del Rio really needed this victory having lost the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, and then failing to regain it on SmackDown. Luckily for him, the Big Show was in an ongoing rivalry with Ryback, who showed his face during this match, distracting the World's Largest Athlete. This allowed Del Rio to run up the ropes and drill Big Show with a huge enziguiri and pick up a victory off the distraction.
Ryback smirks as Del Rio celebrated his victory. He left the ring, Big Show slowly climbing to his feet and realising what happened. Ryback mouths to Big Show "Ryback rules", but Big Show scowls back at him. Ryback may be a monster, but even monsters shouldn't get on the bad side of the Big Show.
Up next, MizTV will take place with the WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan and John Cena, and The Miz has vowed to get an answer from Bryan regarding a rematch at Night of Champions. We see both men on their way to ringside and that's next!
The Miz is already in the ring with his theme playing and the ring set up as we return to Raw. He welcomes us all to MizTV and reminds us that this could very well be the biggest MizTV in history. He says that he's going to introduce his first guest tonight, and we've already seen him once earlier on - the WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan! Bryan comes out to a huge pop and grabs a microphone of his own. Then, he introduces the man Bryan beat at SummerSlam, the former WWE Champion - John Cena! Cena comes out to a mixed reaction, but maintains the smile on his face. He enters the ring across from Bryan, a microphone in his hand. Miz says it's time to get down to business, and shows us a recap of what took place in the opening segment of Raw last week before The Shield rudely interrupted. We see Cena lay out the challenge to Bryan, but he didn't get the chance to answer. We cut back and Miz asks Cena if the challenge still stands. Cena looks at Bryan and says that he knows he has a great deal of respect for him, and he couldn't be happier to see him climb his way to the top and become WWE Champion from the ground up, but the WWE Championship means the world to him, and he will always chase it no matter what. He says that the challenge still stands, and that it would be an honour to have a rematch at Night of Champions. Bryan looks at his title, and then looks back at Cena before saying that the match at SummerSlam was possibly one of the best he has had since coming to the WWE, and it was one of the proudest moments of his entire life. He thanks John Cena for the moment they shared at SummerSlam, but says that no matter how much respect there is, the WWE Championship comes first - the wrestling comes first, and that's what they will do at Night of Champions. Bryan says he accepts Cena's challenge for a rematch, but tells him what he told Randy Orton earlier tonight, that he won't be letting this slip away from him after he's worked so hard to get where he is today. Cena says he respects that and extends his hand. but before Bryan can take the handshake, the theme of Randy Orton hits. Cena and Bryan turn to the entrance and Orton walks out, briefcase in hand, a cold stare on his face. He raises the briefcase above his head as Cena and Bryan look on, simply sending them a message that he is still here, and that he can strike at any time. Monday Night Raw then fades to a close.

Daniel Bryan © vs. John Cena
After their hard-fought battle at SummerSlam, Daniel Bryan was able to reach the ultimate goal and become the new WWE Champion. Fourteen years of hard work and effort finally paid off for the rising superstar. And even though John Cena was gracious in defeat, he was going to try his hand at getting the title he cherishes so much back, challenging Daniel Bryan to a rematch at Night of Champions. Bryan accepted, and the two will collide again in what is sure to be another classic. |

Nice opening segment with Orton and Bryan, I can sense Orton attempting to cash in soon and failing since he vowed to win. Thus turning him heel and onto a great feud with Bryan. RVD/Ambrose has potential to be a big match heading into Night of Champions, glad it ended in a DQ here. Kaitlyn winning was good, but I just see AJ beating her again soon. This division needs Paige/Emma and now. Ryback beating Henry was the right move as Ryback is in dire need of some momentum. Seeing him come out nowadays and getting nearly no reaction is sad. I like that you're hyping up a Turmoil match, but I figured PTP would win. Glad you mentioned Young coming out as it is a big deal. Punk over Axel was obvious, but glad Axel put up a good fight. I hope Ziggler/Langston isn't the route you go for at NOC. Wyatt winning was obvious, I'd like to see a small Kingston push to make him relevant again. Usos & Real Americans are two of my favorite teams in an ever-improving division. Christian/Axel should be fun, gotta love Christian's versatility to move between main event and mid card seamlessly. Del Rio winning was the right move, as you said, he needed it. Good closing segment, not much happened but it set up an awesome rematch. Love the way you're announcing the card too, with the little match description. Original. Good show as usual.

WWE Main Event; August 28, 2013 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada
TAG TEAM TURMOIL MATCH - THE REAL AMERICANS def. TONS OF FUNK; Main Event was well underway with the Tag Team Turmoil Match, kicking off with the team of Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro taking on the dancing duo of Brodus Clay and Tensai. Unfortunately, the two big men were no match for Colter's pair of patriots when Cesaro hit Tensai with the Neutralizer for the victory.
TAG TEAM TURMOIL MATCH - THE USOS def. THE REAL AMERICANS; In a rematch from this Monday on Raw, The Usos were up next to take on Swagger and Cesaro, and just like on Raw, they managed to knock off the duo and come one step closer to becoming the #1 Contenders after hitting Swagger with an Uso Splash, courtesy of Jimmy Uso.
TAG TEAM TURMOIL MATCH - THE USOS def. PRIMO & EPICO; Primo and Epico returned to action on Raw this past Monday but were unsuccessful against the Prime Time Players. Their luck hadn't improved by tonight as they once again came up short, falling victim to the impressive elevated Samoan Drop, giving The Usos their second victory in a row.
TAG TEAM TURMOIL MATCH - PRIME TIME PLAYERS def. THE USOS; The final team to entered was the combination of Darren Young and Titus O'Neil, otherwise known as the Prime Time Players. Despite The Usos best efforts, the previous two matches may have taken their toll on the brothers as after Darren Young clotheslined Jey Uso over the top rope, Titus O'Neil was able to hit Jimmy with the huge Clash of the Titus, picking up the victory and becoming the #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships!
The Prime Time Players celebrated, receiving a good reaction from the WWE Universe. They even stood face-to-face with The Usos and shook their hands before celebrating more. The Usos left up the ramp, leaving the Prime Time Players to celebrate, but the celebration was cut short with the arrival of none other than The Shield. Their theme hit and the hounds of justice came through the crowd, entered the ring and began a vicious assault on their Night of Champions opponents. Ambrose joined the fray alongside his fellow Shield members, but that's when The Usos returned to the ring and saved O'Neil and Young, fending The Shield off. Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns retreated through the crowd as The Usos and the Prime Time Players stood alongside each other as WWE Main Event fades to a close.
