- CM Punk and Daniel Bryan...a tag team I mean I would have never have guessed it but at the same time CM Punk and Daniel Bryan do have a common enemy that being The Authority and Punk he has had his feud with them but also Bryan has too so they have that in common and both men are perhaps 2 of the biggest fan favorites in the WWE so to see them team up together to become a tag team I mean I still can't believe it sometimes but for them to challenge the WWE Tag Team Champions Batista & Orton for the titles and Batista & Orton actually deciding to put up their titles against Punk and Bryan but you can bet that there will be strings attached
- Sami Zayn beat Seth Rollins to go to 3-2, Zayn with another huge victory in Survival Trials he is more or less proving that he can hang in there with the big boys in the ring especially a superstar like Seth Rollins of The Shield and seeing Rollins lose here to go to 3-2 in this Survival Trials tournament well Rollins is still near the top of the leaderboard but then again so is Zayn as they have identical records since Rollins is also 3-2 with 6 points as well but this match seeing it at least for me was a dream match a dream match that was actually back and forth and an interesting contrast of styles which was great which is what made the match even better
- How Del Rio can stay positive I don't understand in fact I will never be able to understand because even though he is the WWE United States Champion he is in dead last in the standings in Survival Trials so how he can stay focused is anyone's guess but Del Rio defending his title here against Big Show here onn RAW, I can't wait to see this match
- The Primetime Players beating Rybaxel I mean after this match I wonder if Rybaxel will now go their separate ways? I really hope they do especially given how post-match it seemed like these 2 were about to come to blows but it is inevitable that they will
- Paige vs AJ Lee for the WWE Women's Championship inside Hell in a Cell, I wonder if WWE would even let this happen? I sure hope The Authority put a stop to this because seeing 2 divas inside the Cell is not best for business in fact quite the opposite it is bad business and not to mention the women are not built for a structure like this especially Satan's structure not that they aren't capable of putting on a good match but this match would probably scare away sponsors think about it
- Sheamus the WWE Intercontinental Champion is confident and given his history with Daniel Bryan he beat Bryan in 18 seconds does anyone remember that? WrestleMania 28 for the then World Heavyweight Championship and then at Extreme Rules 2012 yes I don't think Bryan he has ever beat Sheamus in his career at all at least not from what I can remember so of course Sheamus would be confident he can beat Bryan but as for Ziggler I mean Sheamus is the one who took Ziggler out and we haven't seen Ziggler since
- Del Rio beating Big Show to successfully retain his WWE United States Championship I mean Del Rio even though he is on a huge losing streak in Survival Trials he more or less bounced back here when it came to defending his WWE United States Championship especially against an opponent who he has history with, The Big Show case in point their epic Last Man Standing encounters on a Smackdown episode in 2013 when Del Rio beat Big Show in order to become World Heavyweight Champion and then beating him again at Royal Rumble 2013 and then beating him here it begs the question of if we are heading towards a Del Rio/Rusev program for the WWE United States Championship?
- After that Neville/Miz segment I mean after that I can see all signs pointing towards a potential rivalry between the 2 of them I mean especially considering that they are facing each other at WWE Hell in a Cell in a Survival Trails match, Miz more or less was just playing mind games and Neville like an idiot basically played right into Miz's hands
- Sheamus is still undefeated against Bryan, the WWE Intercontinental Champion beats Bryan all be it by DQ, but still this just proves my point in the sense that Bryan he has never ever beat Sheamus but seeing Ziggler return here steel chair in hand going after Sheamus I mean I can't blame him considering Sheamus was the one who took Ziggler out and began bragging about it so Ziggler wants retribution but seeing the WWE Tag Team Champions Batista & Orton come out to try to even the odds for their Authority brethren Sheamus only for CM Punk to come out to even the odds for Ziggler and then Bryan taking everyone out with a suicide dive it was great...perhaps a 6 Man Tag Team Match with Sheamus, Batista and Orton teaming up to face the team of Ziggler, Punk and Bryan
- 15th anniversary of Smackdown I just hope you make it a big deal, I hope you have The Rock on Smackdown I mean Smackdown is The Rock's show he started it all those years ago back in 1999 but I wonder if we will see any other legends or past WWE superstars return for this 15th Anniversary show?
- There seems to be dissension within The Shield I mean Survival Trials is doing it more or less
- Bad News Barrett Mr. Money in the Bank and Authority member the new Face of the WWE more or less he is back in this tournament more or less he beats Neville to go to 2-3 while Neville is also 2-3, I mean Barrett needs to get back into this tournament so him beating Neville in a sense was necessary but either way this match I mean it more or less even the scale since Neville he is also 2-3 with the same amount of points but either way it was a good match
- The Rock returning on RAW, it is always great to see The Rock but I have to wonder why Rock is back now? Better yet I wonder if Rock will be at Smackdown for the 15th anniversary? But seeing Rock leave Bo Dallas laying I mean I laughed at this segment the most
- Emma and Natalya beating Alicia Fox and Summer Rae in Divas tag team action I mean Natalya not getting the tag I would have expected Natalya to be more angry hell even take Emma out for good measure because a heel turn for Natalya I can see it coming a mile away but Emma yes she got the win but at what cost?
- Cena and Rhodes they are facing each other in Survival Trials but at Hell in a Cell but the question is is Cody Rhodes ready for the big leagues? Is he ready for the big time? I mean Rhodes is perhaps in the biggest match of his career facing a 14 time World Champion facing off against John Cena perhaps one of the best ever in WWE's history the face of the WWE the man he has been the man for 9 years here in WWE but Rhodes he is the son of a WWE Hall of Famer The American Dream Dusty Rhodes 2nd generation superstar but Rhodes is going up against the best but can he beat the best?
- Cody Rhodes beating Tyson Kidd, I would say after this win he has more or less proved that he is ready for Cena at Hell in a Cell but Tyson Kidd is no John Cena so there is a difference and not to mention he is facing Dean Ambrose of The Shield in a Survival Trials match and Rhodes he is 3-1 but Ambrose is 2-2 but he is as much of a threat as Cena is
- Sheamus vs The Miz in a Survival Trials match Sheamus being 1-3 but Miz who is also 1-3 something has gotta give and not to mention both men are heels, heel vs heel contest I wonder who the crowd will be more behind in this match seeing as how both men are hated? But who is more hated?
- Barrett Mr. Money in the Bank he is going to be a guest on The Highlight Reel I mean I wonder how 2 combustible elements will be able to stay on the same show without fireworks ensuing? You know the history between Barrett and Jericho how it all goes back to NXT when Jericho was Barrett's Pro and Barrett went on to win NXT but then ended up forming one of the greatest forces in WWE when Nexus was formed and Jericho was one of the superstars taken out by them and fast forward all these years later and they are going at it but in Survival Trials, think about it I can't wait to see what happens
- And Roman Reigns in the main event beating John Cena, perhaps one of if not the biggest win in not only his career but also in Survival Trials and why? Because this match honestly is a dream match because everyone compares Reigns to Cena but also everyone pegs Reigns to be the next face of the company the one that takes Cena's spot as the man who will take this company into the future so Reigns winning this match in a sense was a sense of passing the torch when you think about it and Cena has his first loss here in Survival Trials while Reigns is still undefeated at 5-0 Reigns is the man to beat in this tournament but if Survival Trials were to end today Reigns would automatically be in the finals but you can bet Heyman and Lesnar are keeping an eye on Reigns but then again so are The Authority and everyone else in the WWE

 WWE Main Event: October 7th, 2014 – Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
SURVIVAL TRIALS – THE MIZ (2) VS. SHEAMUS (2); With both men starting the tournament 0-3 before picking up wins this past weekend, they are looking to continue the forward movement. Sheamus seems to be extra aggressive with the return of his arch rival Dolph Ziggler last night. He does his best to take out his frustrations on the Miz with some heavy handed blows. Miz nearly sneaks away with the win in similar fashion to how he bested Cody Rhodes over the weekend, but Sheamus kicks out of the rollup. Once they get up, Sheamus nearly takes his head off with a Brogue Kick. He covers the Miz to earn two more points. Sheamus defeats the Miz in 6:55!The loud, angry Irishman gets up and throws his arms in the air. Despite the return of Dolph Ziggler last night on Raw, Sheamus is able to hone in and pick up his second straight win the Survival Trials. He now has four points, while the Miz stays with two. Sheamus grabs his Intercontinental Title and steel chair, heading off with Ziggler in his sights.
1. Roman Reigns (5-0, 10 points)
2. John Cena (4-1, 8 points)
3. Cody Rhodes (3-1, 6 points)
3. Sami Zayn (3-2, 6 points)
3. Seth Rollins (3-2, 6 points)
4. Dean Ambrose (2-2, 4 points)
4. Adrian Neville (2-3, 4 points)
4. Bad News Barrett (2-3, 4 points)
. Sheamus (2-3, 4 points)
5. Chris Jericho (1-3, 2 points)
5. The Miz (1-4, 2 points)
6. Alberto Del Rio (0-4, 0 points)

Heel vs heel contest battle of the unlikables here with Authority member WWE Intercontinental Champion Sheamus beating The Miz to go to 2-3 in Survival Trials, Sheamus needed this win here in Survival Trials certainly a lot more than Miz did considering Sheamus' arch rival his nemesis Ziggler is back and after what happened to Sheamus last night on RAW when Ziggler returned he needed to bounce back and boy did he ever I mean probably one of the best Brogue Kicks I have seen him do on someone almost taking Miz's head off I mean Sheamus is all business now especially in Survival Trials he is now 2-3 while Miz is 1-4 now but for Miz he is like second last in the standings in Survival Trials but at least he is not like Del Rio who is 0-4

RAW:
- Nice little opening segment, and that tag title match should be very interesting. Though this is far from the first tag team hell in a cell match, I'm pretty sure it'd be the third after Undertaker / Austin vs. Mankind / Kane and D-X vs. Legacy. I know WWE likes to forget it's own history, but let's not follow their lead.
- Big win for Zayn here, the interesting thing about this tournament is that (like the G1) it gives a chance to really make a few new main event players out of basically anyone on the roster if they're booked right.
- I'm in two minds about splitting up Rybaxel, since that seems to be the route you're taking. I think it's the right way to go if you want to try and make Ryback the main event / upper card guy that he really has all the tools to be, but I can't see anywhere for Curtis Axel to go back down.
- The Women's Hell in a Cell match is an actual history-making match, and I'm glad to see it happening. It's the right two to do it as well and I'm looking forward to seeing just how far you take the physicality of the match when the time comes.
- The biggest thing that made me laugh is the idea that anyone popped for a Del Rio win, but then again I might be biased because he bores the hell out of me. Good win though to give him some momentum given that he's been so hopeless in the Survival Trials.
- I do not need to see you rehash the whole Miz / Neville feud right down to the whole "Miz's helping hand" nonsense.
- Good to see Ziggler back, I've always enjoyed a huge multi-man brawl if I'm honest. I figure this is leading to a six man tag which could be good stuff.
- Nice to see Barrett getting the victory, really I've never been a fan of booking the Money in the Bank holder weakly so it's good to see him picking up wins, hopefully he'll do a bit better in the coming weeks of the tournament.
- Fun, throwaway appearance from The Rock. Does what it's meant to do, nothing more, nothing less.
- Don't really care about the Women's tag match, but at least you're running multiple women's feuds at the same time.
- Good win for Cody, not much else to say here.
- Very surprising to see Reigns get the clean win over Cena here, but it's the right thing to do. You're setting Reigns up as a big time player in the tournament, and moving forward I assume, and Cena isn't hurt by the loss at all. A fun, solid show propped up by the intriguing tournament, good job man, I'll keep reading.

 WWE NXT: October 9th, 2014 – Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida
Opening things tonight, we go straight to the weekly opening video package. Cutting to the pumped Full Sail Arena, Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton and Renee Young welcome everyone to the broadcast and promise a jam packed show. Tonight, we will see what happened on Divas Smackdown involving the NXT Women’s Championship, as well as see Finn Balor, Hideo Itami, Tyler Breeze and more in action.
EVAN BOURNE VS. TYLER BREEZE; Last week, these two men were on opposite sides of a tag team match involving their rivals, Solomon Crowe and Kalisto. Tonight, they meet one on one and the last time this happened, it was Tyler Breeze that came out on top. It looks like Evan Bourne is more than prepared here, coming out in a more aggressive manner than we’re used to. Breeze uses a well-placed Supermodel Kick to turn the tide and looks to be on the verge of a win. Bourne avoids the Beauty Shot and hits a big hurricanrana before climbing to the top. From there, he hits AirBourne and gets the win. Evan Bourne defeats Tyler Breeze in 5:19!The fans cheer for the victory as someone, at least for right now, is able to shut up the usually brash Tyler Breeze. With tonight’s big win and his victory last week in the tag team match, momentum is clearly on the side of Evan Bourne, who is bouncing back nicely from his loss at TakeOver.
William Regal is shown in his office backstage. Suddenly, Sheamus barges into his office and demands a match with Sami Zayn tonight. Regal tells Sheamus to calm down and that he doesn’t come into his office demanding anything. “That’s not how things work around here. That being said, Sami Zayn has done a jam up job representing NXT in the Survival Trials, as you would know. I don’t think he’d mind a rematch with you tonight, but let’s make it interesting. Since Sami beat you a few weeks ago and since you want him so badly, you can have your match but you’ll have to put that Intercontinental Title on the line.” Sheamus is taken aback, mulls it over and agrees, saying that Sami won’t get lucky twice.
We are now taken to clips of Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady and Carmella training. It’s hilariously set to some Rocky like music. The continuing theme is that Cass can do plenty of impressive things, Carmella more than holds her own but Enzo continues to rung into roadblocks, tripping and failing to lift weights at certain points. Finally, after this happens a few times, Enzo looks at Carmella for motivation and starts doing better. He celebrates his successes like he just won the WWE Title. The three of them will be in action next week!
A recap airs from Divas Smackdown. Opening the show, Lita introduced two of the top women in NXT for a historic contest. Charlotte defended her NXT Women’s Championship against Sasha Banks in a Two out of Three Falls match. After a grueling back and forth battle, Sasha would emerge victorious and achieve her dream of being Women’s Champion. Next week, we will hear from Sasha for the first time since winning the title.
BUDDY MURPHY AND WESLEY BLAKE VS. FINN BALOR AND HIDEO ITAMI; When he made his official debut at TakeOver: R-Evolution, it was clear that Finn Balor is good friends with Hideo Itami. They try and see how that translates to a tag team situation tonight. Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake do their best to show that they are a serious tag team threat, but the talent of their opponents is overwhelming. Itami and Balor hit stereo basement dropkicks, before Balor hits the Coup de Grace on Blake to earn the victory. Finn Balor and Hideo Itami defeat Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake in 3:51!Cheers are heard as the fans pop for the win by Finn Balor and Hideo Itami. Those cheers turn to screams and boos when Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel surprisingly hit the ring. They nail Balor and Itami from behind and continually put the boots to them. Gabriel and Kidd even mock the stereo basement dropkicks of their targets. The assault is ended when Kidd has Itami in a Sharpshooter, while Gabriel connects on the 450 Splash on Balor.
Backstage, NXT Champion Corey Graves enters William Regal’s office. He seems annoyed and wants to know why he was called in. Regal tells him to change his attitude and that he has an announcement to make. “It’s been clear to everyone around here that you have some issues with Sami Zayn being in the Survival Trials. One man in particular, Kevin Owens, has a problem with that. I’m always looking to give the people what’s best for business, so next week, right here on NXT, you’ll be going one on one with Kevin Owens.” Graves seems to like the idea and heads out with a smile.
Before our next match, we are taken to a recap of Jason Jordan’s abrupt departure from his team with Tye Dillinger. He has now joined Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger as part of the All-American Real Americans. JACK SWAGGER W/ JASON JORDAN AND ZEB COLTER VS. TYE DILLINGER; Even though the bell rings, Tye Dillinger doesn’t focus on the match. He instead continues to try and reason with Jason Jordan at ringside. Jordan wants to hear none of this and ignores every word. Jack Swagger wisely attacks from behind. Due to that, he is in firm control throughout this match. Tye gets in a slight burst of offense but it isn’t much. Swagger is able to apply the Patriot Lock, scoring the win. Jack Swagger defeats Tye Dillinger in 2:11!Jack Swagger refuses to let go of the hold as Zeb Colter and Jason Jordan enter the ring. Tye Dillinger reaches out for Jordan, who just looks down at him. Swagger releases the hold and Tye tries to get up by climbing on Jordan. Jordan grabs him and plants him with a loud belly to belly suplex. The three All-American Real Americans stand together, place their hands over their chests and shout “WE THE PEOPLE!”
In the back, Devin Taylor is standing by with Sami Zayn, who is holding his NXT Tag Team Title. She asks him about his feelings towards the main event tonight. Sami admits that he has been incredibly lucky in the past few weeks. “I’ve been given the opportunity to compete in the Survival Trials, where I’m very much alive in the standings by the way, and now I’m getting a shot at the Intercontinental Championship.” Sami says that he’s going to make the most of this chance, just like he has done in the Survival Trials.
Since it is October, we get our usual video package of various Superstars and Divas talking about breast cancer awareness month. The WWE and their partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation is in full effect this month. BAYLEY VS. SUMMER RAE; As she makes her way to the ring, an insert promo from Bayley is shown. She speaks, saying that she saw the classic that Sasha Banks and Charlotte put on at Divas Smackdown. She admits to being somewhat jealous and wants to get in on the Women’s Title picture and realize her dream in the same way that Sasha Banks did. Summer Rae comes out aggressively, but Bayley seems more determined than usual. She finishes Summer off with the Bayley to Belly. Bayley defeats Summer Rae in 3:17!The fans cheer loudly as Bayley is announced to be the winner. She motions around her waist that she’s coming for the NXT Women’s Championship. She gives some hugs to the fans at ringside, showing that even when she’s serious in the ring, she still loves her fans.
A commercial is shown to promote the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game release. For the first time ever, a WWE game will be released on the current generation consoles. Going backstage, Devin Taylor is standing by again. This time, she’s with Becky Lynch. She says that Becky requested this time. Becky says that she was planning on speaking and declaring that she was looking for a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship. “However, it seems like Bayley has beaten me to the punch. I happen to be good friends with Bayley, but just because she said it first, doesn’t mean that I am going to back down. Next week, I have a match and I will be winning it just like Bayley just did. I plan on being the next NXT Women’s Champion.”
WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP – SHEAMUS (C) VS. SAMI ZAYN; If Sheamus took Sami Zayn lightly during the Survival Trials, he makes sure not to do the same here. Sheamus clubs away at Zayn, just working him over with some huge shots. Each time that Zayn is able to get free and do a rollup, Sheamus kicks out aggressively and clutches the ropes tightly with worry in his face. He tries the Brogue Kick but Zayn ducks and busts out a German suplex with a bridge for two. When they get up and Sheamus is in the corner, Zayn charges forward with a Helluva Kick. Sheamus ducks and hits a massive powerbomb for two. He beats his chest, looking for the Brogue Kick. Sami ducks once move, bounces off the ropes but runs into another Brogue Kick for the 1-2-3. Sheamus defeats Sami Zayn to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship in 11:34!The NXT Universe boos loudly while Sheamus snatches the Intercontinental Title from the official and hoists it high in the air. Sheamus isn’t done yet though, putting it down and calling for another Brogue Kick as Sami Zayn starts to get up. The fans come alive when Kevin Owens runs out to the ring to make the save. He stands in between them and comes face to face with Sheamus. The crowd buzzes as these two brutes look like they’re about to explode. With Owens’ back to the entrance, NXT Champion Corey Graves sneaks out and whacks him with the belt in the back. Sheamus and Graves look at each other before Sheamus turns and Brogue Kicks Sami one more time. Graves smirks as Sheamus leaves the ring to close the show.

- Sheamus of The Authority and the WWE Intercontinental Champion here on NXT facing off against and actually beating Sami Zayn one half of the NXT Tag Team Champions to retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship I guess this just proves that Sami Zayn's win against Sheamus in Survival Trials was nothing more than a fluke he got lucky
- Sheamus and Graves standing tall to end the show I mean Sheamus is face to face with the NXT Champion Corey Graves and then the both of them beating the hell out of the NXT Tag Team Champions leaving them laying I loved it but at the same time it just sets the tone for Graves/Owens for it to actually take place that is for the NXT Championship while for Zayn and Sheamus in Survival Trials I think it is safe to say that their rivalry will continue
- Becky Lynch making it clear that she wants the NXT Women's Championship even though Bayley is already in contention for it, I can see it being a Triple Threat Match for the NXT Women's Championship with Sasha Banks having to defend her title against both Bayley and Becky I mean it is bound to happen

 Friday Night Smackdown: October 10th, 2014 – Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This week’s Smackdown kicks off with a series of highlights from the history of Smackdown, since tonight is the 15th Anniversary of the premiere. We then go to a pyro display in the arena before Michael Cole, Tom Phillips and John “Bradshaw” Layfield introduce the show. They promise a big night including the Bella Twins taking on Paige and AJ Lee, more from the Survival Trials and a special edition of MizTV featuring Dolph Ziggler!
The music of Stephanie McMahon plays as one of the principle owners of the WWE makes her way to the ring. Eden Stiles introduces her as the first ever General Manager in Smackdown history, which gets a bit of a pop. She enters the ring and puts over the 15th Anniversary of Smackdown, as well as her time as the General Manager. Stephanie brings up some of her past moments on Smackdown, including having the audacity to bring up the time she slapped her mother. She doesn’t get to speak for a long time though, as a familiar theme hits and another former General Manager, Teddy Long shows up. He thugs and bugs on his way to the ring, the crowd cheering for his return. He gets in the ring and Stephanie questions him being there. “Come on Stephanie. You know there’s no way I would miss Smackdown’s big birthday. I know these people in the WWE Universe are happy to see me. I don’t know if you saw Stephanie, but there was an online poll and the fans chose me as their favorite GM in Smackdown history!” The fans cheer and Stephanie gives a slight smirk. Before she can respond, another theme that we haven’t heard in years plays as John Laurinaitis comes out. He talks while walking to the ring, reminding us that even though Teddy was popular, he didn’t have the power behind him. “That’s right, I’m talking about People Power! Also Teddy, don’t forget that it was I who took you out of power as Smackdown GM for good.” Long responds by saying that Laurinaitis was also the shortest tenured Smackdown General Manager. They bicker for a moment until Stephanie interrupts them to shut both men up. She wants tonight to be a celebration. “WE’RE A THREE MAN BAND!” The three former GMs all seem to roll their eyes at once as Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal appear. Heath says that you can’t have a celebration without a band. When they get into the ring, Stephanie tries to stop them, but they just go on, insisting on auditioning to be tonight’s official band. They start to “perform” until a screeching Stephanie yell halts them. “How can you want to be tonight’s official band when that isn’t even a thing?” The fans laugh and Teddy interjects saying that, in honor of the even tonight, we should have a tag team match playa. John Laurinaitis decides they should combine their strengths at GMs. “We can have a six man tag match…playa as you put it, but we can also let the WWE Universe decide on the opponents for these three, using people power!” Stephanie likes it and tells the fans to vote on the WWE app for three opponents to face 3MB, next!
Returning, we are taken to a highlight of the first ever Smackdown main event. On that fateful night on August 26th, 1999, the Rock and Triple H did battle. Triple H won after help from special referee Shawn Michaels. 3MB VS. BIG E, CHRISTIAN AND RYBACK; When the winners of the fan vote are announced, Ryback comes out last. He seems to be enjoying it but Curtis Axel shows up behind him and argues with him about doing what the fans want. Ryback shrugs him off and heads to the ring. 3MB starts off with their crazy antics, but quickly fall victim to the powerful combination of Ryback and Big E. Christian gets in some shine as well, though the focus does seem to be on the other two. Ryback hits Mahal with Shell Shock and Big E finishes him off with a running splash. Big E, Christian and Ryback defeat 3MB in 2:33!
Before they can enjoy the victory, Curtis Axel is back out to complain to Ryback. Ryback again shrugs him off and chooses to celebrate the win with Big E and Christian. It’s clear that whatever issues Rybaxel has been having are far from resolved.
We are taken to another great moment in Smackdown history. This one is from 2002, when Kurt Angle’s challenge was answered by a young rookie with “ruthless aggression”. That man turned out to be none other than John Cena! SURVIVAL TRIALS – ALBERTO DEL RIO (0) VS. CHRIS JERICHO (2); This past Monday night, Alberto Del Rio retained the United States Championship against the Big Show and he hopes that officially righted his ship because he’s been in a huge funk, starting this tournament 0-4. Chris Jericho has not fared much better, going 1-3. These two men prove to be rather evenly matched. They have reversals set for each other with Jericho going for the Walls and Del Rio looking for the Cross Armbreaker. Jericho is first to apply his hold, but Del Rio powers up to counter it, sending Jericho to the mat. Jericho charges, but Del Rio is ready and catches his arm. He steps over and locks in the Cross Armbreaker! As Del Rio promised, Jericho can’t escape, ending this. Alberto Del Rio defeats Chris Jericho in 7:59!Alberto Del Rio gets to his feet and the crowd roars for his first win. He may have been the last guy to get on the board, but, with a really hot run, he could still be alive. “Even so, you always to rack up some wins. Momentum is good” says JBL. Del Rio’s happy moment is ruined by the arrival of Alexander Rusev. Del Rio doesn’t see him enter the ring and he gets clobbered. Rusev stomps away while Lana shouts instructions. Rusev lays Del Rio out with a running kick before picking up the United States Title and staring at it. Lana tells him that it will be his soon enough. Rusev places the belt on Del Rio’s fallen body before leaving.
As always with shows in October, Superstars and Divas talk about breast cancer awareness month. The WWE is proud to partner up with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Renee Young now stands by with none other than the Bella Twins. She asks them about their big match coming up against Women’s Champion Paige and AJ Lee. The Bellas get offended when she brings up the fact that AJ and Paige beat them in singles matches at Night of Champions. Nikki claims that as twins, they obviously work better as a unit. “Do you really think that two girls who have worked as one for their entire lives are going to lose to two girls that are about to have a Hell in a Cell match? Please. This will be easy.”
KOFI KINGSTON VS. TYSON KIDD W/ NATALYA; Looking at the men involved in this match, you would expect a fast paced match. That’s exactly what we get from the opening bell. Whenever Kidd gets the upper hand, he is incredibly quick to brag and showboat. Natalya seems to be shouting for him to focus but Tyson is too busy in his own world. It allows Kofi Kingston to hit the SOS for a near fall. Kofi misses the Boom Drop though, and Tyson gets up, scoring on a swinging fisherman suplex for the win. Tyson Kidd defeats Kofi Kingston in 4:06!The fans in Philadelphia boo loudly as Tyson Kidd jumps in the air, celebrating this as if it is the biggest win in his career. Natalya attempts to calm him down but Tyson is too excited. He asks for a microphone and addresses the WWE Universe. Tyson says that this is the beginning of a new era in the WWE. “The Tyson Kidd Era has begun. I am the start of Total Divas. Last Friday, I was the only male talent on Divas Smackdown. That tells you the level of Superstar that I am.” Tyson claim that nothing will get in the way of his success.
The camera shifts focus to the commentary booth. Michael Cole allows Tom Phillips to run us through a recap of some of the recent Survival Trials events. After recapping the weekend events, we are shown clips from the epic John Cena/Roman Reigns match this past Monday night. Reigns bested Cena to move to 5-0, giving him sole possession of first place. This Monday night, Reigns puts his unbeaten record on the line against the 4-1 Cody Rhodes, while Cena looks to rebound against Dean Ambrose! In fact, Cena and Reigns’ opponents for Monday square off in our main event tonight!
Another Smackdown highlight is shown. This one is from 2007, where Edge became the first man to not only cash in Money in the Bank twice, but he was also the first to cash in on Smackdown. AJ LEE AND PAIGE VS. THE BELLA TWINS; Considering the ladies involved, this is a pretty big time match. WrestleMania worthy even. The Bella Twins made good on their words from the earlier interview, working like a well-oiled machine. With the historic Hell in a Cell match looming, the issues between Paige and AJ Lee are clear. Arguments, self-tags and more cause issues. Paige takes a beating and makes the big tag to AJ. AJ comes at both Bellas with everything she has. The crowd roars as she’s close to victory. Suddenly though, AJ turns and lays out Paige with a huge kick to the skull. The cheers turn to boos as AJ gets on the apron, reaches over and touches Paige, initiating a tag. She then hops off the apron and leaves. Nikki Bella sees the opening, picks up Paige and drops her with the Rack Attack, beating the Women’s Champion. The Bella Twins defeat AJ Lee and Paige in 5:19!Brie Bella gets back in the ring to raise her sister’s hand in victory. The Bella Twins have finally gotten one over on Paige and AJ Lee, though it had a lot to do with AJ’s actions. She stands atop the stage looking down at the ring. Paige begins to move and crawls to the ropes, looking up at the stage. Her face shows a mixture of anger and confusion. Things just got a bit more interesting heading into Hell in a Cell.
We are now taken back to this past Monday, when the Rock made a special surprise appearance on Raw. He interrupted Bo Dallas, threw verbal jabs at him and then laid him out following a Rock Bottom. This is followed by a highlight reel of clips from the Rock’s days on the show he named, Smackdown. Cody Rhodes is shown warming up in the back. He has a huge match tonight. He could tie John Cena for second place but he has a tough task ahead of him in the form of Dean Ambrose.
ADAM ROSE W/ SANTINO MARELLA AND THE EXOTIC EXPRESS VS. BIG SHOW; Adam Rose and Santino Marella are all about party time but the Big Show was in no mood for that. He came up short of taking the United States Championship from Alberto Del Rio on Raw and is still pretty pissed. He clobbers Rose with everything he’s got, annihilating him. Show scores the win with the WMD. Big Show defeats Adam Rose in 2:15!Santino Marella and the Exotic Express look on in horror as their friend was just destroyed. Big Show is one pissed off giant. Bo Dallas’ music plays as he steps out onto the stage with a grin. He has a microphone and he tells Big Show that he understands where he’s coming from. “I’ve had some struggles in the past, but if you just Bolieve, you can truly be as successful as I am.” Bo gives a thumbs up as Big Show walks up the ramp. Michael Cole expects Big Show to knock him out, but Show instead offers his hand. Bo gives a huge smile and shakes it, seemingly finding himself a massive partner in crime.
More Smackdown history highlights come as we focus on the infamous supermarket brawl between Steve Austin and Booker T back in 2001. “Price check on Jackass.” Returning to the arena, the ring is set up for MizTV. The Miz is in the ring, with his co-host Summer Rae. Miz says that he’s doing this tonight because he doesn’t want to think about the Survival Trials much. “I know that it hasn’t gone my way so far but that will change when I beat my old nemesis Chris Jericho next week. As for tonight, my guest is someone that I’ve known for a long time.” Miz gets cut off by the theme of Dolph Ziggler, who makes a beeline for the ring. He gets in and Miz is rather upset by the interruption, so he shouts at Dolph. Dolph just turns and superkicks him to a huge pop. Summer is appalled and checks on her man while Dolph picks up the microphone. “I’m not out here to play any of Miz’s games. I’m not out here to have a fun little interview. I’m out here for one reason. Sheamus. What you did to me at Night of Champions was beyond anything that has ever happened to me. You crossed a line. It’s one thing to take my Intercontinental Title, but it’s another to go after my livelihood.” Dolph begins to pound on his head where he was cut open at Night of Champions. “You went too damn far. I’m getting my title back, but don’t you dare think that I’m not coming to end your career too.” Dolph slams the microphone down and storms off.
Our final 15th anniversary special video airs. This one covers the emotional 9/11 special episode that was the first social gathering after the traumatic terror attacks in 2001. SURVIVAL TRIALS – CODY RHODES (6) VS. DEAN AMBROSE (4); These two men found themselves on opposite ends more than a few times last year when the Brotherhood went to war with the Shield. Despite that, this is their first one on one encounter. Dean Ambrose shows off a pretty vicious style, which forces Cody Rhodes to dig deep into bag of tricks. He takes to the air more than usual, looking to take the big risks. He hits the Disaster Kick, which sends Dean stumbling back to the ropes, where he does the rebound lariat and nearly gains the two points. Ambrose looks for Dirty Deeds, but Cody spins out and counters with Cross Rhodes, earning the three count. Cody Rhodes defeats Dean Ambrose in 14:42!Cody Rhodes gets to his feet and lets out a yell that the fans reciprocate. Not only does he move to a 4-1 record and a second place tie with John Cena, but he just defeated a member of the Shield in what could be considered his biggest win of the tournament. This Monday, he faces the seemingly unstoppable 5-0 Roman Reigns in a battle for first place. As Cody celebrates on the second rope, the commentators question if Cody can continue this strong run and pull off the unthinkable on Monday.
 1. Roman Reigns (5-0, 10 points) 2. John Cena (4-1, 8 points) 2. Cody Rhodes (4-1, 8 points) 3. Sami Zayn (3-2, 6 points) 3. Seth Rollins (3-2, 6 points) 4. Adrian Neville (2-3, 4 points) 4. Dean Ambrose (2-3, 4 points) 4. Sheamus (2-3, 4 points) 4. Bad News Barrett (2-3, 4 points) 5. Alberto Del Rio (1-4, 2 points) 5. Chris Jericho (1-4, 2 points) 5. The Miz (1-4, 2 points)

- Cody Rhodes beats Shield member Dean Ambrose in tonight's main event to move to 4-1, Rhodes is still in it I mean as far as this tournament goes he is tied for 2nd place with Cena who is also 4-1 but for him to beat a Shield member especially Dean Ambrose who is a former WWE United States Champion in his own right the longest-reigning in WWE history no less I mean Rhodes is riding some serious momentum while Ambrose he is going to have to find some way to bounce back seeing as how he is now 2-3 but Rhodes he has to face the favorite in this tournament Shield member Roman Reigns who is undefeated I mean I don't see how Rhodes beats Reigns, Reigns is 5-0 undefeated the only superstar in Survival Trials who is still undefeated and not to mention Reigns is on the roll of his career
- Dolph Ziggler I mean he wants Sheamus but the question is is will he get a match with Sheamus at Hell in a Cell? I mean Sheamus we know he is already in Survival Trials as a tournament and seeing as how Sheamus is the WWE Intercontinental Champion then I wonder if Ziggler will get his shot at redemption either on a RAW or Smackdown episode? Or will Sheamus/Ziggler happen at Survival Trials instead?
- Big Show beating Adam Rose in a squash I mean Big Show he is all business but seeing him shake hands with Bo Dallas I mean I wonder if this is the beginning of Show and Dallas becoming a tag team? If it is then I wonder how long that will lost? Or just how long it can really last?
- 15th Anniversary of Smackdown I mean where was Triple H the COO? Or hell where was The Rock I mean he started this show? Where were other superstars like Edge, Taker, etc.

 Monday Night Raw: October 13th, 2014 – Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia
Before the usual weekly Raw intro video, we are taken to a recap from last Monday’s show. We got to witness three Survival Trials matches. Sami Zayn defeated Seth Rollins, Bad News Barrett overcame the challenge of Adrian Neville and then, in the biggest match of the tournament so far, Roman Reigns beat John Cena to become the only undefeated man remaining.
Dolph Ziggler steps through the curtain to a roar of cheers. As he walks to the ring, we are reminded that Ziggler returned last week and went after the Intercontinental Champion Sheamus. Dolph enters the ring and snatches a microphone, instantly ripping into Sheamus. He says similar things to what he mentioned on MizTV this past Friday on Smackdown. “Taking my title is one thing, but you tried to take my career from me. I’ve worked my ass off, for my entire life, to get to this place.” He demands that Sheamus come out here right now. After a few seconds, the music of the Intercontinental Champion hits and Sheamus makes it to the stage. He seems peeved, but does have his blood stained chair with him. Sheamus tells Ziggler that he doesn’t demand anything from him. “The only reason I’m out here is because I was planning on calling you out myself. Last week, you stuck your nose where it didn’t belong. Do you not remember Night of Champions? This thing between us is over. I kicked your arse like nobody before you has ever done. You should give up, there’s no need for you to even be around here anymore.” Ziggler claims that he’s back for one reason. “My rematch.” The crowd pops at this announcement but Dolph takes it one step further. “I don’t want just any rematch either Sheamus, because I don’t just want my title back. I want to do to you what you tried to do to me. I want to end your career. So let’s do this inside the Hell in a Cell.” Gasps are heard from the fans and even Sheamus is surprised. He mulls it over and accepts, saying that Dolph must have a death wish. “This chair is going to get a lot more bloody come Hell in a Cell. In fact, I’m gonna add to it right now.” Sheamus starts walking towards the ring. Ziggler doesn’t shy away, taking off his jacket and preparing. Once Sheamus enters, they instantly trade right hands. This quickly dies down because the WWE Tag Team Champions Batista and Randy Orton show up to assist Sheamus. They all stomp on Ziggler until CM Punk and Daniel Bryan show up and the crowd erupts. The six men get into a massive brawl, with Bryan, Punk and Ziggler sending the Authority members packing. They dare them to get back in, but the Authority backs up, choosing to regroup. The voice of Triple H is heard, to a mixed reaction. He comes out and stands atop the stage, shouting for all of this to stop. “Tonight, we are going to resolve this one way or the other!” Triple H announces that tonight, these six will compete in a six man tag team match! Raw is off to a very wild start.
SURVIVAL TRIALS – ALBERTO DEL RIO (2) VS. SETH ROLLINS (6); After the roughest start of the tournament, Alberto Del Rio finally picked up his first win on Smackdown by beating Chris Jericho. Tonight, he runs into Seth Rollins, who has had a pretty good start. Right from the bell, Del Rio targets Rollins’ arm. While it sets up his finisher well, Rollins is still free to do his signature high flying offense. He springboards into the ring at one point, but Del Rio catches him by the arm and pulls him into an armbar. It isn’t the Cross Armbreaker though and Rollins reaches the ropes. Del Rio pounces though, striking with a vicious superkick as Seth gets to his knees, scoring the win. Alberto Del Rio defeats Seth Rollins in 12:08!
The WWE Universe cheers, even though they really like both Superstars. Alberto Del Rio is handed his United States Title and he has now picked up two straight wins after starting 0-4. Seth Rollins rolls out of the ring, but slams the mat in frustration before doing so. He has certainly taken his losses in this tournament pretty hard so far. He needs some momentum before his huge battle with Roman Reigns at Hell in a Cell.
During the break, exclusively on the WWE App, Alberto Del Rio exited the ring and made it to the top of the ramp. He posed for the fans but was assaulted from behind by Alexander Rusev. Rusev ended up locking him in the Accolade, while Lana picked up the United States Title and held it high. Officials had to rush out to break this up.
A recap airs from Smackdown this past Friday. AJ Lee and Paige took on the Bella Twins in tag team action. AJ attacked her own partner and walked off, leaving Paige alone to get beaten by Nikki Bella. Because of that result, Nikki has asked Stephanie McMahon and has been granted a shot at the WWE Women’s Championship. WWE WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP – PAIGE (C) VS. NIKKI BELLA W/ BRIE BELLA; Just before the opening bell, AJ Lee’s music plays as the woman set to meet Paige inside the Hell in a Cell in a few weeks skips down to the ring. Paige and Nikki met at Night of Champions last month, with Paige obviously retaining. Commentary says that if Nikki is successful here, Paige and AJ will still meet in the Cell, but the title won’t be involved and AJ will meet Nikki the following night on Raw. AJ at ringside causes Paige some distraction issues throughout the match. However, she nails the Ram-Paige to claim the win. Paige defeats Nikki Bella to retain the WWE Women’s Championship in 5:17!The celebration is cut short because once Paige wins, AJ Lee hops into the ring. Paige is ready and meets her, coming face to face with her rival. The two women lock eyes and stare at each other for a few seconds, while Brie helps Nikki out of the ring. AJ grabbed the Women’s Championship on her way in. She hands it over to Paige, who is reluctant. AJ gives her those big puppy dog eyes and Paige quickly snatches the belt. AJ skips around Paige before leaving the ring. Paige is left looking confused at AJ’s mind games.
Backstage, Stephanie McMahon is shown watching on a monitor. Triple H enters the picture and they seem to be back on relatively good terms as they hug. Stephanie admits to liking the six man tag that Triple H put together earlier. He responds by saying that he’s happy she booked a Women’s Title match. “See Steph? Even if we disagree about certain things, we can still run this show like a well-oiled machine.” Stephanie agrees but of course, has to add that she still isn’t happy with the fact that he doesn’t want to do what’s best for business anymore. Triple H gets annoyed and says that he’s not going to have this fight again. He leaves, showing that there is still some friction in the McMahon household.
Cutting away, Renee Young introduces her guest at this time, John Cena. He steps into the screen with a smile and Renee asks him about his match with Dena Ambrose coming up next. Cena first reminds the viewers that he lost a tough battle last Monday against Roman Reigns. “I was undefeated and I’ll be the first to admit that Reigns beat me, fair and square. You deserve a tip of my cap. But you better believe that I’m looking for my rematch in the Finals. If you remain unbeaten, you better believe that I’m not losing another match. That starts tonight with your ‘brother’, Dean Ambrose. It’s been far too long since I’ve been WWE Champion and that’s going to change at Survivor Series.”
SURVIVAL TRIALS – DEAN AMBROSE (4) VS. JOHN CENA (8); Dean Ambrose began the Survival Trials with two straight wins, but he’s dropped three consecutive matches since then. John Cena is looking to get back on track after suffering a loss to Roman Reigns last week. This proves to be one of the most competitive matches of the entire tournament so far. Ambrose fights like a man possessed, scratching and clawing to find a way to gain two points. He even rakes Cena’s eyes, as well as tries rollups with a handful of tights. Cena locks in the STF and Ambrose looks to be on the verge of tapping out, but he’s able to reach the ropes. Cena stalks him, waiting for the Attitude Adjustment. Dean slips out and tries Dirty Deeds but Cena trips him up and applies the STF again. Once again though, Dean is able to grab the ropes. When they get up, Cena levels him, sending Dean to the ropes. Dean tries for the rebound lariat but Cena ducks and hits the AA, earning the three count. John Cena defeats Dean Ambrose in 15:12!John Cena gets to his feet and pumps his fist. He knows that if Cody Rhodes can beat Roman Reigns later tonight, he’ll be back in a tie for first place. “You’ve got to commend the effort of Dean Ambrose. Despite his string of losses, he put up one hell of a fight and came oh so close to beating Cena tonight” says Michael Cole. Cena looks at Ambrose getting up and offers his hand. Ambrose, unlike Reigns last week, decides against it and instead rolls out of the ring and up through the crowd.
CHRISTIAN VS. TYSON KIDD W/ NATALYA; As we saw on Smackdown and for a while on NXT, Tyson Kidd has become one brash son of a bitch. He has taken to Twitter and constantly pointed out that he was the only Superstar to make it to Divas Smackdown and even takes credit for the success of that show. Christian looks to teach him a lesson here, but not long after things begin, Kidd schoolboys Christian and scores the pinfall. Tyson Kidd defeats Christian in 3:46!Tyson Kidd quickly slides out of the ring and throws his arms in the air. Christian looks stressed that he allowed that match to slip through his fingers. Natalya goes to high five her husband, but Tyson leaves her hanging to enjoy the win by himself.
In anticipation of the last Survival Trials match of the evening, coming up next, Renee Young interviews Cody Rhodes. She asks him for his thoughts heading into this very tough match tonight. Cody says that he realizes what’s at stake tonight. “Nobody has beaten Roman Reigns in this tournament so far. Not even the fourteen time World Champion John Cena. But I’m gonna beat him tonight. I’m gonna take first place and then I’m gonna beat John Cena at Hell in a Cell. This tournament is mine and I plan on being the man to defeat Brock Lesnar.” Cutting away from that, Tom Phillips is with Roman Reigns in his locker room. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins can be seen in the back licking their wounds from earlier tonight. Reigns watched Cody’s interview and is asked about it. He says that he likes the confidence that Cody is showing. “The guy has some balls. He needs to realize something though. He needs to look at my record. I haven’t lost and I’m not going to lose. I’m going to beat him tonight, I’m going to beat the rest of my opponents and I’m going to beat Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. Believe that.” He walks off, but his remarks about beating the rest of his opponents seems to have rubbed Seth and Dean the wrong way, since they are still on his schedule.
SURVIVAL TRIALS – CODY RHODES (8) VS. ROMAN REIGNS (10); Even though he currently stands at 5-0, Roman Reigns comes out of the blocks firing as if he was desperate for a win. He holds a clear power advantage over Cody Rhodes and uses it wisely. Cody has to fight from behind, trying to get flash pins and using his aerial ability. He hits a gorgeous moonsault, only scoring two. Cody knows to stay on the offensive since Reigns is one hard man to put away. Cody looks for Cross Rhodes, but Reigns counters with some right hands. It backs Cody to the ropes where he springboards off for the Disaster Kick. Reigns is ready, greeting him with a huge midair Superman punch! He covers…1…2…and Cody somehow gets his foot on the bottom rope! Reigns backs up and pounds the floor, setting for the Spear. He charges but Cody avoids it and he crashes shoulder first into the corner. As he staggers out, Cody hits the Cross Rhodes. For good measure, he picks him back up and hits it a second time, handing Reigns his first loss of the tournament. Cody Rhodes defeats Roman Reigns in 14:20!The Phillips Arena goes crazy as Cody Rhodes has done the unthinkable. Even Cody seems somewhat surprised as the referee raises his hand. “Not only has Cody Rhodes handed Roman Reigns his first loss of the Survival Trials, but he has moved into first place via tiebreaker” says JBL. The three men with the best records, John Cena, Reigns and Rhodes are tied, but Reigns beat Cena and now Rhodes has beaten Reigns. If the tournament ended today, Cody would be in first place! Reigns sits up and puts his head in his hands, disappointed in himself. Cameras also catch Seth Rollins standing in the stands, watching from afar. The focus remains on Cody Rhodes and his celebration though.
ADAM ROSE AND SANTINO MARELLA VS. BIG SHOW AND BO DALLAS; A recap airs from this past Friday on Smackdown when the Big Show officially joined forces with Bo Dallas. Bo cut a promo on the way to the ring, saying that Show was now a Boliever. Show was even wearing a BOLIEVE shirt, but it was skin tight and ripping. Bo explained that the shirts weren’t available in Show’s size yet. They prove to be a formidable team and Show knocks out Santino for the 1-2-3. Big Show and Bo Dallas defeat Adam Rose and Santino Marella in 2:24!When the bell rings, the Exotic Express stops dancing and Adam Rose looks on in horror. Bo Dallas does victory laps around Big Show before stopping in front of him and throwing his arms in the air. He high fives Show, which seems to really hurt his hand. It looks like Bo has found the Boliever he’s been looking for.
Renee Young is now standing by with “the Best and the Beard”, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. She asks them about their main event match tonight, as well as the upcoming bout at Hell in a Cell. Bryan speaks first, saying that tonight, they’re looking forward to getting a piece of Batista and Randy Orton early. He does bring up the fact that Dolph Ziggler isn’t in the best mental state right now, so they’ll need to make sure he keeps his cool. Punk speaks for the second question, saying that he’s been in more than a few Hell in a Cell matches. “I was in the first Triple Threat Cell and now I’ll be in the first ever Tag Team Championship Cell match. And you know what? This is going to be the first time that Batista and Orton get humbled. We’re not just going to take the belts from them, we are going to prove to them and the Authority, beyond a shadow of a doubt, who the best in the world really is.”
Returning to the ring, it is set up for the Highlight Reel. Chris Jericho arrives to a roar from the crowd. Commentary reminds us of his recent struggles, being only 1-4 in the Survival Trials so far. He enters the ring showing know negative emotions from his rough start. Jericho introduces the show to the crowd before putting over the obesely expensive JeriTron 5000. “My guest tonight is definitely someone special. He is going to be my opponent at Hell in a Cell and he’s Mr. Money in the Bank.” Before he can finish the introduction, Bad News Barrett’s music hits and he shows up with a cocky look on his face. Barrett talks as he walks to the Highlight Reel, saying that he knows tonight is an important edition of the show, but he has some BAD NEWS! “Your Highlight Reel will not only be taken over by yours truly, but come Hell in a Cell, you will lose to me and be statistically eliminated from the Survival Trials. I will then go on to win the tournament and beat Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. And, in the event that fails, I still have this little briefcase here. Speaking of Money in the Bank, isn’t it funny that you came up with this entire concept, but you’ve never held this.” Jericho chuckles at that before firing back by saying that Barrett talks like a champion but he’s never been WWE Champion. They come face to face and Jericho tells him that he wanted to conduct an interview but it looks like Barrett has other plans. They continue the stare down before Jericho looks down at the briefcase. “You know Barrett, if you’re so confident that you’re gonna beat me at Hell in a Cell, why don’t we raise the stakes? Let’s put that briefcase on the line.” The crowd pops but Barrett scoffs, saying that he’s already earned the briefcase. Jericho continues to goad him, calling him a coward and even saying that the real bad news is that he got lucky at Money in the Bank. A pissed off Wade is about to explode before he blurts out that Jericho is on! As soon as he says it, he seems to regret. Jericho has a huge smile before saying “Well there you have it. History made on the Highlight Reel. Goodnight everyone!” Jericho exits the ring, leaving Barrett speechless at what he just did.
BIG E VS. CURTIS AXEL W/ RYBACK; The tension continues to build between the members of Rybaxel. They’re already in the ring when returning from break and seem to argue during Big E’s entrance. The fans have rallied behind Big E since his return and he looks fired up here. Curtis Axel more than holds his own though, to the surprise of many. Axel even hits his dad’s Perfectplex, but doesn’t do it as well since Big E kicks out. Big E weathers the storm, putting him down with the Big Ending. Big E defeats Curtis Axel in 4:28!Big E isn’t satisfied, demanding a five count from the referee. The official doesn’t want to give it, but he eventually does as Big E continues to shout “FIVE”! Once he gets the count, Big E asks for a microphone. He says that before his injury, he held something. “I was the Intercontinental Champion and, I’ll admit it, Sheamus beat me. After Alberto Del Rio messed up my arm, all I had was time to think. While doing that, I realized that I felt empty without the belt. So I want Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus to listen closely…I’m coming back for my title.” Big E slams the microphone down and leaves the ring.
We go backstage to Renee Young for one final interview tonight. She brings her guest, Sami Zayn, into the picture. He’s wearing his NXT Tag Team Title around his waist. She asks him about his grueling match with Sheamus on NXT last week. Sami admits that it was tough and that Sheamus was the better man. “All losses are hard to swallow, but I do get some solace in the fact that I beat him in the Survival Trials. You know, a lot of people saw me as a dark horse, but last time I checked, I’m right behind Cody Rhodes, John Cena and Roman Reigns for second place. I’ve beaten…” Sami trails off as Dean Ambrose steps into the picture. He says that Sami seems pretty confident, but seems to forget that they’re scheduled to face at Hell in a Cell. “You can sit up on your high horse all you want but come October 26th, you’re going to face someone completely unlike anything else you’ve ever seen before. And just so we’re clear…I’m in a pissed off mood, so watch out.”
Speaking of Sami Zayn, he'll be in action against Bad News Barrett tomorrow night on Main Event! Catch it only on the WWE Network at 8E/7C! 
BATISTA, RANDY ORTON AND SHEAMUS VS. CM PUNK, DANIEL BRYAN AND DOLPH ZIGGLER; A huge six man tag team match closes out Raw this week, giving us a preview of two of the historic Hell in a Cell matches coming in just under two weeks. This is given a lot of time and everyone gets an opportunity to shine. When it breaks down, the Authority combine their focus and isolate Dolph Ziggler. They are not shy about hitting him in the head, targeting his recent injury. He eventually makes the hot tag to Bryan, who cleans house, hitting everything in sight. Even Punk sneaks in to dive outside and take out Randy Orton. Bryan starts to “Yes”, looking for the Busaiku Knee. Sheamus tosses Ziggler into the announce table, slides in and cuts off Bryan’s attempt with a vicious Brogue Kick. Punk tries to get back in but is knocked off the apron by Sheamus. Batista plants Bryan with the Batista Bomb and gets the victory. Batista, Randy Orton and Sheamus defeat CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler in 18:22!The destructive trio of Randy Orton, Batista and Sheamus have prevailed over their opponents for Hell in a Cell. Orton lays out CM Punk outside with the RKO, before getting all three titles. He hands Sheamus his Intercontinental Title and gives Batista the other Tag Team Title. They pose in the center of the ring with their belts, looking as dominant as ever. Suddenly, Dolph Ziggler is back up and rocks Batista with a superkick. It proves to not be the wisest move since Orton and Sheamus pound on him. Batista gets up, holding his jaw and looking pissed. Orton and Sheamus hold him so Batista charges and lays him out with a spear. The Authority once again take their titles, leaving Punk, Bryan and Ziggler all out cold to close the show.
1. Cody Rhodes (5-1, 10 points) 2. Roman Reigns (5-1, 10 points) 3. John Cena (5-1, 10 points) 4. Sami Zayn (3-2, 6 points) 5. Seth Rollins (3-3, 6 points) 6. Adrian Neville (2-3, 4 points) 7. Dean Ambrose (2-4, 4 points) 8. Sheamus (2-3, 4 points) 9. Bad News Barrett (2-3, 4 points) 10. Alberto Del Rio (2-4, 4 points) 11. Chris Jericho (1-4, 2 points) 12. The Miz (1-4, 2 points)

Ziggler obviously wants revenge I can't blame him given that Sheamus almost ended his career almost took away his livelihood but Ziggler calling Sheamus out I mean is that really wise given the last time these 2 were in the ring together? Sheamus WWE Intercontinental Champion Authority member comes out with his blood stained chair reminding us all of what he has done to Ziggler reminding Ziggler of what he Sheamus did to him I mean if you are trying to set up Sheamus vs Ziggler for WWE Hell in a Cell I would say you set this match up perfectly and it just isn't in any regular singles match but it is going to be inside Satan's structure inside the Devil's playground inside Hell in a Cell and for the WWE Intercontinental Championship too no less but I wonder who that favors more? I mean Sheamus he actually has been inside Satan's structure he has actually been inside Hell in a Cell in his career whereas Ziggler hasn't been so Sheamus has the advantage there because Sheamus knows all about Hell in a Cell its brutality in the sense of once you go in you are never the same again
Ziggler getting jumped by Sheamus of The Authority but also seeing Authority members the WWE Tag Team Champions Batista and Orton show up to join in only for CM Punk and Daniel Bryan to make the save for Ziggler perfectly sets up a 6 Man Tag Team Match for later on tonight so I say kudos on that
Del Rio beating Seth Rollins of The Shield in Survival Trails, Del Rio he is now 2-4 so he is starting to get back into this tournament well more or less considering he bounced back with his first win and now beating Rollins this has got to do wonders for Del Rio in terms of confidence while for Rollins he is still in this tournament he is 3-3 he is at .500 in terms of his winning percentage with his win loss record so what is Rollins worried about? He is still a top of the leaderboard well he's close enough he is not in the top 4 he's in 5th which isn't that bad but Rollins he is going to need to bounce back and bounce back in a big way given how at Hell in a Cell in Survival Trials he has to face his Shield brother Roman Reigns who is on top of the leaderboard in first place
Paige retaining her WWE Women's Championship beating Nikki Bella of The Bella Twins I would say Paige again she has proven that she is not only a fighting champion she has more or less proved that as WWE Women's Champion she is dominant I mean she has beaten diva after diva in this division but she is coming up against AJ Lee and given how the tiebreaker never really settled things on Divas Smackdown since it led to a No Contest their match at Hell in a Cell will basically decide once and for all who will lead this division as WWE Women's Champion but if this was AJ's way of playing mind games trying to distract Paige I would definitely say it's working
Seems there is still trouble between Triple H and his wife Stephanie, still looks like there's tension there I wonder if anything will come of it?
Cena beating Ambrose in Survival Trials to take his record to 5-1 I mean if Cena needed to bounce back after his first loss in this tournament I would say he definitely bounced back here given how he lost to Ambrose's Shield brother Roman Reigns and then Cena beating Shield member Dean Ambrose to bounce back I would say Cena is back on top of the leaderboard but for how much longer? Ambrose now he is 2-4 and to think he started this tournament red hot but now is on a slump but that could always change
Tyson Kidd beating Christian I wonder if after this win of Kidd's if you will basically push him with this new gimmick of his? I mean Kidd has essentially become more brash more cocky more arrogant so I wonder where this will lead Tyson to?
I knew Roman Reigns would lose sooner or later but I just didn't expect his undefeated streak in Survival Trials to be ended by none other than Cody Rhodes of all people...I mean it seems you must have a hard on for Cody Rhodes don't you? I mean here he is with one big win after another and him beating Reigns now I have to consider that an upset because Reigns he has been so dominating in this tournament he has been a beast in this tournament and for him to lose especially to Rhodes here I have to really question that but at the same time Reigns is now 5-1 but then again so is Cena and so is Rhodes but that means it is a 3-way tie for first place but how is Cody on top of the leaderboard when Cena and Reigns have the same amount of wins & losses and not to mention points?
If you were trying to put over Bo Dallas and Big Show as a tag team especially here in the tag team division I would say you certainly have proven that now haven't you? Them beating Adam Rose & Santino does that for them but then it begs the question of where ShoLieve go from here as a tag team?
CM Punk and Daniel Bryan seem to be ready for Hell in a Cell and given that they have to step into Satan's structure they have to step into Hell in a Cell for the WWE Tag Team Championships and they are facing Authority members the WWE Tag Team Champions Batista and Orton I mean that match I can't wait to see that's for sure
Jericho just goaded Bad News Barrett into putting up his Money in the Bank briefcase against him at Hell in a Cell and given these 2 men are facing off against one another at Hell in a Cell in Survival Trials with Barrett's briefcase on the line I mean I can't see The Authority being happy about this or being happy with Bad News Barrett
Big E. beating Axel I mean Big E. basically made a statement here in this match he basically made a statement here that he is coming back for that WWE Intercontinental Championship and that to him it doesn't matter who the champion is whether it's Sheamus or whether it's Ziggler he doesn't care so I have to wonder if we could be seeing a heel turn from Big E? Especially now that he has incorporated "The Five Count" into his character into his gimmick I have to wonder
Sami Zayn running into his Hell in a Cell opponent for Survival Trials running into The Shield's Dean Ambrose now this segment to build up their eventual match I thought was genius
But Sami Zayn if he can somehow beat Bad News Barrett on Main Event tomorrow night he would move closer to the top 3 even though he is in 4th place I am sure Sami wants to get even closer to that promised land but if Barrett wins he basically propels himself right into a tie for 4th place so something has gotta give
WWE Tag Team Champions Batista & Orton and the WWE Intercontinental Champion Sheamus all of The Authority beat their respective Hell in a Cell challengers the tag team of Punk & Bryan and then you have Ziggler but in the end it goes back to the saying that old saying that sooner or later The Authority always wins and it certainly rang true tonight but seeing the heels stand tall I mean could that be a sign of things yet to come as far as Hell in a Cell is concerned?

Cody is ahead because of the tiebreaker. They have the same amount of points but Reigns beat Cena, so he's ranked ahead of him. Rhodes beat Reigns, so he's ahead of him. |

Hey man I gotta say you're still doing great in your diary, and I think that this Survival Trails is doing great, I'm seeing a lot of points from all of these guys, and Cody Rhodes is in First Place, that is Rad man. Rhodes could get a WWE Championship Match at Survivor Series, but does he have what it takes to beat Brock Lesnar?. I mean if someone faces Brock Lesnar, they are signing their career away. And when are you going to get rid of the Authority, I want the Authority to be taken out, The Authority has to go, It would also be nice if you brought Sting to the WWE too, and also Undertaker, he's also due to come back too. Could we potentially see Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31 again, and will it be for the WWE Championship, I don't think it will. But Taker and Lesnar might have a chance of going to WrestleMania 31. But with Triple H and Stephanie having problems in the camp that leads me to wonder if the Authority is going to get taken down, cause if the Authority is gone, then you could see a new GM like Eric Bischoff. Steve Austin or Mick Foley or anyone else for that matter, But like I said I'm very impressed with the Survival Trails, I'm interested to see who will face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship and who will be the darkhorse at Survivor Series to face the Beast Incarnate. I would like to have a reply for my diary plz on WWF 1993-1995 if you have the time.

Yes exactly what I am saying that whoever wins Survival Trials is going up against the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar in a title match in a championship match and whoever wins this tournament has to be someone credible enough to face Lesnar someone who actually can stand toe to toe face to face man to man with Lesnar but also they have to have what it takes to be in the ring with Lesnar too

WWE Main Event: October 14th, 2014 – Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex in Birmingham, Alabama
SURVIVAL TRIALS – BAD NEWS BARRETT (4) VS. SAMI ZAYN (6); The WWE Universe has really taken a liking to Sami Zayn since his arrival in the Survival Trials. Bad News Barrett seems a bit flustered and commentary reminds us that he was goaded into putting his precious Money in the Bank briefcase on the line at Hell in a Cell. That allows Sami to get on the offensive side for a while. Barrett manages to hit the Winds of Change from out of nowhere, turning the tide. He parlays that momentum into a flurry of offense before finishing off Sami with the Bull Hammer. Bad News Barrett defeats Sami Zayn in 8:53!
A wide smile appears on the face of Bad News Barrett, happy that he now has six points. Barrett regains some momentum and confidence, which is greatly needed heading into Hell in a Cell. Sami Zayn was able to beat Barrett’s Authority buddy Sheamus on the first night, but lost to him at NXT and now has taken another loss. He needs to pick up steam with a bout against Dean Ambrose on the horizon.
1. Cody Rhodes (5-1, 10 points)
2. Roman Reigns (5-1, 10 points)
3. John Cena (5-1, 10 points)
4. Bad News Barrett (3-3, 6 points)
5. Sami Zayn (3-3, 6 points)
6. Seth Rollins (3-3, 6 points)
7. Adrian Neville (2-3, 4 points)
8. Dean Ambrose (2-4, 4 points)
9. Sheamus (2-3, 4 points)
10. Alberto Del Rio (2-4, 4 points)
11. Chris Jericho (1-4, 2 points)
12. The Miz (1-4, 2 points)

Bad News Barrett Mr. Money in the Bank and Authority member beating NXT Tag Team Champion Sami Zayn to take his record in Survival Trials to 3-3, Barrett is back in this tournament he's in the top 4 while Zayn is out of the top 4 at least for now but he and Barrett have the same record so something has gotta give
Either way it was a good match but Zayn is going to have to bounce back

12 nights away from Hell in a Cell and seeing the card already it looks pretty packed especially with Survival Trials matches such as: Reigns vs Rollins, Cena vs Rhodes, Ambrose vs Zayn, Jericho vs Barrett with Barrett's Money in the Bank briefcase on the line and Miz vs Neville but I wonder which Survival Trials match will go on last?
But as for what I see the main event being the last match that goes on last the match that I think closes out the PPV will be the WWE Tag Team Championship Hell in a Cell Match with Batista & Orton (c) vs CM Punk & Daniel Bryan
And the winner of Survival Trials gets a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match against The Beast The Conqueror Brock Lesnar but when you think about it the winner of this tournament ultimately becomes the ultimate loser because they have to go up against Lesnar who is not an ordinary man he's a Beast a Conqueror The One in 21-1 the man who will forever be known as the man who ended The Undertaker's 21-0 WrestleMania undefeated streak the man who decimated Daniel Bryan and John Cena in a Triple Threat Match at WWE SummerSlam 2014 the man who decimated Punk at Night of Champions and whoever wins this tournament will face Lesnar at Survivor Series for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
