I think it will be interesting to see what Sting has to say about why we never came to WWE why he stayed in WCW but why he has chosen to face The Undertaker but I wonder if Taker will interrupt Sting in terms of playing supernatural mind games of his own with Sting to try to rattle Sting even though Sting is a master of supernatural mind games himself

 Raw: March 9th, 2015 – CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
After the signature WWE intro, viewers were taken directly to the ring. Seth Rollins stood inside and his theme played over the speakers. He wore the WWE World Heavyweight Title around his waist. Seth spoke, saying tonight was special. “Tonight, we take a special look back at the history of the greatest faction in WWE history, the Shield.” The fans popped for that before Seth directed them to the Titantron. Footage aired of the Shield’s debut at Survivor Series 2012. Seth talked over it, saying that was the start of his rise to the top of the WWE. “Without that moment, I might’ve never made it to where I am right now. Ah, who are we kidding? I’d still be right here. Having Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns around as my lapdogs made it so much easier.” Seth took the viewers through more milestone Shield moments, from winning titles to taking out the Undertaker and the Rock, to their dismantling of Evolution. “The Shield dominated from the moment we stepped foot in the WWE and you want to know why? Because I was the architect. I put everything together. Roman and Dean don’t have half a brain between them. They were good muscle to have around but don’t be mistaken, the true reason we succeeded was a combination of my brain, athleticism and skill.” The music of Dean Ambrose hit to a pop as he interrupted his former running buddy. Dean entered the ring and grabbed a microphone. “This was supposed to go down with all three of us in the ring. I didn’t know it would be the Scumbag Power Hour.” The crowd popped for that and Seth was pissed. Dean continued, saying it was fun to go back in relive the history of the Shield, but he found Seth’s revisionist history lesson to be the most amusing. Seth said he told no lies and Dean responded by saying he wouldn’t ever be caught dead taking orders from a weasel.
Before things got too heated, Roman Reigns joined the mix, saying a Shield reunion wouldn’t be complete without him. “I gotta agree with Dean here. Not only was it fun looking back at all we accomplished, but I would never take orders from someone like you Seth.” Roman offered a Shield fist bump for Dean, but got none in return. Dean said, “Oh, what? You think because you and I can share a laugh at Seth’s expense, I’m just gonna forget about that spear you gave me last week?” Roman came face to face with Dean, saying he did what anyone would in that situation. “You of all people should understand. We’re brothers but we’re headed on a collision course to WrestleMania. If a spear here or there is gonna help my chances of walking out with that title, I’m gonna do it.” Seth interjected, furious at being overlooked. “You two seem to forget that I’m the champ here. WrestleMania isn’t about the two of you. You got lucky when you eliminated me at the Royal Rumble and Roman, you’re only here because Dean’s an idiot who put his title shot on the line.” Dean and Roman both stepped towards Seth, who backed to the corner. Seth instantly threw the heat back on Roman, reminding Dean of the spear last week. Dean stopped and turned to Roman, planting him with Dirty Deeds! That got a mixed reaction from the WWE Universe but a smile from Seth. That was quickly wiped out when Dean dropped him with one too! The Lunatic Fringe and Royal Rumble winner stood over his former teammates and picked up the WWE World Heavyweight Title to a big ovation. He stared at it for a second before raising over his head and talking trash to the fallen champion. Dean tossed it onto Seth before leaving.
JOHN CENA DEF. ALBERTO DEL RIO IN 7:28; In an effort to once again prove he’s more than worthy of a match with Alexander Rusev at WrestleMania, John Cena looked to topple the man Rusev took the United States Title from, Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio has been slumping lately, though he came close to upsetting Cena with a vicious superkick. Cena managed to trip him into the STF and make him submit.
John Cena’s celebration was short lived as Alexander Rusev and Lana made their way down to the ring. Cena stood in their way in the ring. Rusev looked over Cena’s shoulder at the downed Alberto Del Rio and chuckled. He bumped past Cena, making the fourteen time World Champion consider hitting him. Cena decided against it and exited.
NON-TITLE MATCH: ALEXANDER RUSEV W/ LANA DEF. DAVID OTUNGA IN 0:26; John Cena stayed atop the ramp as the bell rang. It’s the first David Otunga sighting since WrestleMania. It didn’t go well as Rusev annihilated him and made him tap to the Accolade in under half a minute.
Alexander Rusev screamed in the direction of John Cena about how impressive that win was. In a rare moment, Cena looked a bit worried about Rusev’s sheer dominance.
Fans were now taken to an emotional video package showing the next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. For the first time ever, the Warrior Award will be handed out and it goes to Connor “The Crusher” Michalek. Connor lost his battle with cancer last year but not before sitting front row for his favorite wrestler’s (Daniel Bryan) crowning achievement at WrestleMania. For his courage and warmth, Connor will receive the award. He joins Randy Savage, Diamond Dallas Page, Vader, The Steiner Brothers and Molly Holly in the 2015 class.
THE NEW DAY W/ XAVIER WOODS DEF. BIG SHOW AND BO DALLAS IN 3:12; The power of positivity invaded Pittsburgh. Big Show has grown more irritated with Bo Dallas lately but they worked well for a bit here. Show slammed Bo onto Big E for a near fall. Show was knocked off the apron, leaving Bo open to fall to the Big Ending/DDT combo and the New Day continue to roll.
The WWE Universe came unglued as, for only the second time ever, Sting walked to a WWE ring. “I’ve seen it twice now and it’s still surreal,” said Michael Cole. Sting got a standing ovation as he stood in the middle of the ring, without getting the chance to speak. He finally did and said, “Man, is this a long time coming or what?” That got another pop. Sting said he knows his age and it reached a “now or never” situation with the WWE. He knew it was time to finally find his way here. “For years, all I’ve heard is people saying there was one match they wanted. One match that pit WCW vs. WWE even over a decade after that fight was initially over. And I gotta say, it’s the one match I’ve always wanted too.” Sting continued to put over The Undertaker as the most loyal WWE Superstar of all time before switching the tone a bit. “But let’s get one thing straight ladies and gentlemen. I’m not here to lay down for the Undertaker in his final match. I know our backgrounds and our loyalties but this isn’t about WWE vs. WCW. It’s about me and you. Two men considered icons and I think, after all this time, we find out who the better man truly is.” Sting went to leave but the lights started to flicker, getting a rise out of the crowd. The lights went pitch black and The Undertaker appeared on the Titantron in a dark graveyard. He dug in silence for a few seconds. When he finished, he spoke, saying Sting made a grave mistake two weeks ago. “Enjoy your moment of glory in a WWE ring tonight because it’s the last one you’ll get.” Undertaker pushed a wheel barrow forward and dumped the contents into a grave. The camera panned to show several dead crows being poured out to fill the grave. When finished, the Undertaker said, “At WrestleMania, your soul is mine.” Sting watched as Undertaker shoveled dirt onto the crows, ending the segment.
Renee Young stood by with “The Big Guy”, Ryback. She asked him about coming up short against Alexander Rusev, Seth Rollins and Batista. Ryback looked disappointed and said it’s been a tough week. He admitted that not being able to get past Rusev has gotten into his head. “But I’ll tell you what. I heard something on Smackdown that I think can turn things around. This Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal for the Intercontinental Title. Dolph Ziggler said it was open to anyone and I’m officially entering it. We’ll see if anyone can throw the Big Guy over the top rope.”
The same vignette featuring Brock Lesnar that ran on Smackdown was shown here. Brock guaranteed that Batista wouldn’t be recognized by his fans when he got done with him.
Michael Cole introduced Brie Bella, live via satellite, from her home in Phoenix, Arizona. Michael asked for an update on Brie’s status. Brie said that she’s feeling much better but admitted it was tough being away from the ring. “After what Emma did to me, all I want is to get back in the ring and get revenge. I can’t do that though, not for at least another month or two. That being said, it’s been great seeing how Nikki’s had my back.” Cole asked about Nikki’s failed attempts to take the Women’s Title from Emma, including last Monday. Brie said she’s proud of her sister and reminded Cole that Nikki didn’t lose last week. “Nikki deserves another shot at Emma and when she does, I know she’ll bring home the title. And from where I’m sitting, that’s the best revenge I could ask for.” Cole thanked Brie for her time.
In the back, Renee Young stood by with the WWE Women’s Champion herself, Emma. She wanted Emma’s thoughts on Brie’s words. Emma laughed them off, saying the Bellas are useless and nothing they say matters. “Yea, Nikki didn’t lose last week but guess what? She didn’t win either. And you know why she didn’t win? Because nobody beats me. When I say this division is about me, I mean it. Whether it’s the latest Bella twin drama or AJ Lee returning last week from her latest failure, it’s all about me.”
AJ LEE DEF. NAOMI IN 6:05; On Smackdown, AJ Lee won a hard fought match against Natalya. Naomi proved to be another tough test. Her athleticism gave AJ trouble and she nearly picked up the win with a the Rear View. When that failed, she wanted the split legged moonsault. AJ got her knees up on it and won with the Shining Wizard. “AJ Lee is back and possibly better than ever,” said Jerry Lawler.
A vignette was shown to chronicle some of Batista’s career highlights. His first World Title win, victories over the Undertaker, successful career in Hollywood and several other things are shown. Batista spoke in the video, saying that everyone talks about John Cena, Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar, but he’s the true star of the OVW Four. “I’ve beaten Orton, I’ve beaten Cena and at WrestleMania, I’ll add Brock to that list.’
CODY RHODES DEF. RANDY ORTON VIA DISQUALIFICATION IN 1:44; Thanks to the actions of Randy Orton recently, Cody Rhodes was ready for some revenge here. He came out firing, laying into Orton. In under two minutes though, Orton kicked him low, resulting in a disqualification.
Randy Orton wasn’t done though. He stomped away on each part of Cody Rhodes’ body, picking him apart. Not satisfied, Orton slithered outside and removed the monitors from the announce table. Back inside, Cody fought him off but had trouble standing. Orton weathered his flurry of strikes and dumped him outside. He grabbed a steel chair and whacked Cody in the back. Cody fell onto the announce table and Orton’s eyes widened. He climbed up and looked out at the crowd. Orton slowly lifted Cody to his feet before pouncing with an RKO through the table! “What the hell is wrong with Randy Orton?” asked Michael Cole. Orton looked down at Cody with a sadistic smirk.
THE USOS DEF. LOS MATADORES W/ EL TORITO IN 4:07; The hot run of the Usos continued this week. They got some pushback from the speed of Los Matadores before winning when Jey hit a popup Samoan drop. Once again, the Usos motioned around their waists for the Tag Team Titles.
Backstage, John Cena was shown preparing to leave the arena .The crowd popped as local musician Wiz Khalifa entered the frame and greeted Cena. Wiz congratulated Cena on his win earlier and said he believed Cena would be the one to eventually beat Alexander Rusev. Cena thanked him before Wiz brought up the song they recorded together for WWE 2K15. Cena laughed and responded, “Yea, they should’ve never let Cena spit with Wiz Khalifa.” Both men laughed and parted ways.
NON-TITLE MATCH: THE MIZ W/ SUMMER RAE DEF. DOLPH ZIGGLER IN 8:04; For the first time in forever, Dolph Ziggler was involved in a singles match that didn’t have his title on the line. Saving his next defense for WrestleMania, this was about vengeance for Miz attacking him on Smackdown. Ziggler got some, attacking Miz with all his might throughout this. However, Miz used a well-timed rollup and a handful of tights to steal it. He celebrated with Summer Rae, leaving the Intercontinental Champion dejected in the ring.
An advertisement ran to plug WrestleMania, set to “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy.
BRAY WYATT W/ THE WYATT FAMILY DEF. R-TRUTH IN 2:25; It’s been a while, but Bray Wyatt was back in action tonight. Looking ahead to Triple H and potentially controlling the WWE at WrestleMania, he made quick work of Truth.
Post-match, Bray Wyatt and the rest of the Wyatt Family posed in the center of the ring. He looked up at the WrestleMania logo, knowing that in a few weeks, he could be running this entire company.
A recap aired of the altercation involving the Shield earlier tonight. Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns all shared a ring tonight and things got heated. Seth pitted his former brothers against one another. Dean got Roman back for the spear last week by hitting Dirty Deeds. Not done, Dean did the same to Seth Rollins and held the WWE World Heavyweight Title above his head.
ADRIAN NEVILLE DEF. DAMIEN SANDOW IN 4:46; Before the bell, Damien Sandow officially tossed his name into the hat for the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal. Adrian Neville was coming off a tough loss to another battle royal participant in Christian on Smackdown. He righted the ship here, winning with the Red Arrow.
The WWE Universe erupted in loud “Yes” chants as Daniel Bryan arrived. Last week, he returned to interrupt CM Punk but tonight he’s here to address the WWE Universe. After letting the chants die down, Bryan spoke. He talked about the team with CM Punk and called it some of the most fun he’s had in his WWE career. “I had a blast with Kane and of course, winning the WWE World Heavyweight Title was the crowning moment of my career, but this was different. Punk was a genuine friend from our days starting out in this business. We won the Tag Team Titles together and we took on the Authority, which meant a lot since guys like Punk and I had been scoffed at for our dreams.” Bryan continued, stating that he was so close to dethroning Seth Rollins on Smackdown last month. He called their match a classic. “I don’t agree with what Seth Rollins did at Survivor Series, or any of his actions since then, but I give him a hell of a lot of respect for that match.” He turned his attention to CM Punk, saying he lost all respect for CM Punk for attacking him after the match. Bryan said he and his wife laid at home, both injured and itching to return. “I wanted to come back as soon as possible for one reason. To kick CM Punk’s ass.” The crowd popped but those turned to boos when “Cult of Personality” hit the speaker. CM Punk stepped onto the stage with a bewildered look on his face. He questioned if he heard right. “Did I really hurt you that bad last month? You’re making horrible decisions if you’re challenging me and you’re delusional if you think you can kick my ass. I carried you for months so you would be relevant after Brock Lesnar beat your ass at SummerSlam.” Bryan rebutted by reminding Punk that he lost one on one to Brock right after that. That bugged Punk, who responded by saying that he wasn’t there to stroke Bryan’s ego. “You wanna know why I attacked you? I realized I’m too good to be stuck carrying you. I know I could’ve just told you I didn’t wanna be a team anymore but that wasn’t enough. You needed to be taught something. You and these people needed to reminded that I’m the best in the world.” Bryan said it was funny Punk brought that up. “You see, maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think you’re the best in the world. The best doesn’t take his ball and run home because the big bad Authority was mean to him. The best sticks around, fights them and beats them.” In disbelief, Punk said Bryan couldn’t possibly mean himself. Bryan responded, “I don’t know. What do you people think?” They answered with loud “yes” chants. Bryan said he wants to prove it on the biggest stage possible, challenging Punk at WrestleMania. Punk agreed and said, “Since I can’t be in the WWE Title match I deserve, this is the next best thing.” Bryan had one final thing to say, “At WrestleMania, I’m not only gonna prove that I’m better than you. For what you did to me and our friendship, I’m gonna kick your head clean off your shoulders.” The fans chanted “yes” along with Bryan, irritating Punk, to close the show.

- Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk...The Yes Movement vs The Best in the World...The Goat vs The Best I mean this is a match I definitely wanna see and the fact that it is going to happen at WrestleMania 31 it has to be one of the main events for sure and seeing this match on paper seeing how personal it is getting here I mean this has all the makings of a classic
- Neville beating Sandow...I mean it seems everyone is throwing their hat into this Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal but Neville I would say he is one of the favorites but I don't think he wins it but with Sandow in this Battle Royal it looks like everyone is getting in this well everyone who is not on the card so I think that that's smart actually
- Ambrose hitting Reigns with Dirty Deeds but also hitting Rollins too with the Dirty Deeds I would say Ambrose now has the upper hand heading into this Triple Threat Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship...and Rollins being the champion he doesn't even have to be pinned or made to submit to lose that title because if Reigns makes Ambrose tap or pins him or Ambrose makes Reigns tap or pins him Rollins loses the title that way but Rollins he doesn't have that champions advantage
- Bray Wyatt beating R-Truth in dominant fashion...it seems Wyatt has all the momentum heading into Mania and considering he has to face the COO The King of Kings The Cerebral Assassin The Game in not just any regular match but a No Holds Barred Match that means anything goes no DQ and it is for Control of WWE you can bet the COO Triple H was watching somewhere from wherever he is
- The Miz beating WWE Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler all be it in a non-title match Miz I would say he has all the momentum heading into the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal...Miz might be my pick my pick to win it Miz has practically done it all in this business he is a former IC Champion, US Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion a former Money in the Bank Ladder Match winner but the only things Miz hasn't done in his career is win a Royal Rumble Match but also winning a Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal would just be one more accolade to a potential first ballot future WWE Hall of Fame induction for Miz
- Cena with the likes of Wiz Khalifa...I am still in shock about that
- The Usos' winning streak continues with them beating Los Matadores...I mean that is yet another tag team they have managed to beat ever since making their returns I mean The Usos are hot they are on fire and knowing the WWE Tag Team Champions Harper & Rowan of the Wyatt Family they are definitely paying attention to The Usos
- Orton intentionally getting DQed against Cody Rhodes and then afterwards attacking Rhodes but leaving him laying with an RKO through a table I would have thought that Orton would have went for the Punt Kick and Orton would have tried to punt Rhodes in the skull punting Rhodes' brains out but after this attack I think it is safe to say we will get Orton vs Rhodes on the card for WrestleMania 31
- Batista with a vignette of his own showcasing his entire career I would have expected snippets of him in his time in Evolution but it was a snippet of everything leading up to his career now and his career in Hollywood because Batista has more or less transcended the business hell he is a Hollywood actor he is in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and then he is going to be in the new Bond film Spectre I would say Batista has become a mega star but then again so has Brock Lesnar he is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight Champion former Royal Rumble Match winner (2003) former King of the Ring (2002) former WWE World Heavyweight Champion and Lesnar has done something that Batista couldn't do at Mania and that is beat The Undertaker Lesnar was the guy he is the guy who will forever be known as the man who ended Taker's undefeated streak at Mania...but yeah the OVW history has to be played upon because not only was Batista in that class of 2002 so was Brock and now 13 years later their paths cross for the first time ever...this has to be a Dream Match
- Batista is going to Suplex City and why? Batista is a Hollywood actor he isn't going to be around for all that much longer anyway so Brock can do to Batista what he did to The Rock years ago and send Batista packing to Hollywood just like how Brock did it to Rock in 2002 and no one has been able to withstand Brock's suplexes I mean ask Bryan, Punk, Taker, Cena, Rollins, Orton, etc. they have all been on the list of people who have gone to Suplex City so it is inevitable that Brock at least hits some suplexes on Batista but physically Batista can match up against Brock too so
- AJ Lee with yet another win beating Naomi...I would say after this win she definitely could be back in the title hunt as far as the WWE Women's Championship goes
- Ryback he too has to be considered a favorite for the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal
- Sting and Taker...mind games definitely played to the extreme here with Taker in the graveyard and then in the wheelbarrow were dead crows and Taker burying those crows telling Sting that his soul would be his you can bet Sting will probably do something to try to get the upper hand in the supernatural sense by going back to that same graveyard but with his signature baseball bat and then playing mind games with Taker I just love the supernatural aspect of this match
- Connor The Crusher the latest name in the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame class I wonder who else will be in the Class of 2015

 NXT: March 11th, 2015 – Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida
“Roar of the Crowd” played, signaling the start of another episode of NXT. Rich Brennan, Jason Albert and Renee Young introduced the show and we headed straight to the ring for the opening contest.
NON-TITLE MATCH: ENZO AMORE AND COLIN CASSADY W/ CARMELLA DEF. BRODUS CLAY AND CURT HAWKINS IN 3:26; The tandem of Clay and Hawkins proved to be interesting opposition for the champs considering their size. Clay was too much for Enzo, but got into trouble when Cass was tagged. Hawkins came in and fell to Bada Boom Shakalaka.
Enzo and Cass were unable to enjoy their victory because “GLORIOUS” hit the speakers. The crowd popped as Austin Aries and Bobby Roode made their slow walk down to the ring. Enzo and Cass were ready for a fight as Aries and Roode walked around the ring. They did a full circle, coming back to the bottom of the ramp, before turning and leaving, successfully stealing the spotlight.
Renee Young now led viewers to a video showing highlights from NXT’s first tour outside of Florida. Last week, they visited Columbus, Ohio for the Arnold Sports Festival. Tickets sold so well, a second show in Cleveland, Ohio was added. “Ladies and gentlemen, next week’s episode of NXT will feature matches from the Columbus show.
A vignette ran with highlights of NXT’s “Lone Wolf” Baron Corbin. Corbin has run over the competition in NXT, including Mason Ryan, and seems to be unstoppable.
As the ring announcer prepared to introduce the next match, Tye Dillinger ran into the ring from the crowd. He pulled out a card from his trunks with a “10” on it and pointed to himself before leaving through the audience again. Commentary was unsure of what to make of this and said they would take a break.
A commercial ran to promote the new joint WWE and Flintstones film.
A video package was shown, highlighting Sasha Banks. After doing the unthinkable and dethroning Charlotte for the NXT Women’s Championship on Divas Smackdown in October, Sasha has turned back all challengers. She sent Bayley to tears at TakeOver: Fatal-4-Way and injured Becky Lynch before besting her at TakeOver: Rival. Is there anyone left to challenge the “Boss?”
CHARLOTTE DEF. DANA BROOKE IN 5:20; Dana Brooke debuted last week and immediately targeted former NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte. She was cocky throughout, taking time to taunt whenever she overpowered Charlotte or got an upper hand. It cost Dana and Charlotte put her in her place. A Natural Selection kept Dana down for the count of three.
Devin Taylor stood by with Shelton Benjamin. She asked him what his next match is gonna be if his goal is indeed the NXT Championship. Shelton said he was headed to William Regal’s office to try and get a match. He was interrupted by the NXT Champion himself, Kevin Owens. Owens was bothered by the interviews. “First off, you should be interviewing me. I’m the champ. I’m the one who sent Sami Zayn packing and I’m the man who this show should be centered around.” Shelton interrupted, saying the show isn’t about Owens. “You know, my goal here is that title over your shoulder. How about we go in that ring tonight and I take that from you?” Owens laughed, saying Shelton hasn’t earned a shot. “But, I could use a warmup before beating Finn Balor in two weeks.” Owens walked off, leaving a determined Shelton behind.
Rich Brennan officially announced that in two weeks, Finn Balor gets his shot at the NXT Championship as he goes one on one with Kevin Owens!
An ad ran to plug WrestleMania, set to “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy.
Viewers were taken to a selfie video of “Prince Pretty” Tyler Breeze. He admitted that losing to Hideous Itami and Foul Balor was rough but he isn’t letting it keep him down. “The King of Cuteville is always looking towards bigger and better things. I heard rumors of an upcoming tournament where the winner gets a spot in the Randy Savage Memorial Intercontinental Title Battle Royal. That’s one beautiful title and it would look really, really good around this delicious waist.”
To the ring, the All-American Real Americans stood inside. Zeb Colter spoke, saying they were out to prove that they’re the best. “Over the next several weeks, we’ll be holding open challenges to anyone who wants to step up to the best this country has to offer. First up, American Alpha challenge any tag team in the…” Jack Swagger cut Zeb off to tell him something in his ear. Zeb looked up as Jack before agreeing and announcing that instead of an AA open challenge, Jack would kick this off. A few moments passed with nothing. Then, “Cruise Control” played and Apollo Crews arrived to a pop.
APOLLO CREWS DEF. JACK SWAGGER W/ THE ALL-AMERICAN REAL AMERICANS IN 5:55; Swagger looked to make a statement, trying to the quickest win possible. He went for the ankle lock multiple times and some flash pins. Crews withstood that and brought his powerful offense. He hit a press slam and moonsault for a close call. Undeterred, Crews hoisted Swagger up for an impressive running powerbomb and scored the win.
Apollo Crews quickly exited the ring, leaving Zeb Colter dumbfounded. He smiled and celebrated atop the ramp, while Swagger regained his composure. Once he realized he lost in his very first open challenge, he became livid, throwing a bit of a tantrum.
Another commercial ran to promote WrestleMania, this one set to “Final Masquerade” by Linkin Park. It focused on the first ever clash between Sting and The Undertaker.
NON-TITLE MATCH: KEVIN OWENS DEF. SHELTON BENJAMIN IN 8:56; For the first time ever, Shelton Benjamin went one on one with Kevin Owens. The two traded big blows early, with Shelton showing a harder hitting style after his days in Japan. Owens gave just as much as he took, leading to an evenly wrestled back and forth match. Owens went up top and Shelton leaped straight up to meet him, taking him over with an arm drag. He went for Paydirt but Owens grabbed the ropes to block it. Owens hit the Popup Powerbomb, securing the victory.
Despite the loss, Shelton Benjamin showed he’s definitely still got it. "Right now though, Kevin Owens is just on another level. Finn Balor is in trouble,” said Jason Albert.

- Benjamin in his return match in NXT he loses to the NXT Champion Owens in the main event...well I will say this Benjamin has still got it even though in a loss he did take the NXT Champion Kevin Owens to the limit and then some but Owens proving to be too dominant as an NXT Champion I mean will Balor be able to beat him for that title to become NXT Champion?
- Crews beating Swagger...I mean after that win I wonder if it will set the stage for a rivalry between Swagger & Crews? Or I wonder if it will get so bad that Swagger becomes jealous of his own All American Americans teammates Gable & Jordan?
- Breeze throwing his name into the WWE Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal throwing himself into the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal but I wonder if he will even be able to qualify? I mean I am sure he is not the only NXT superstar in this tournament so it makes me wonder just who is or who will be?
- Charlotte with her beating Dana Brooke I wonder if after this Charlotte & Dana if they won't just join forces and align themselves with each other? I mean stranger things have happened and not to mention Charlotte ever since she lost the NXT Women's Championship I mean I think it is only a matter of when she wins the NXT Women's Championship not if but when
- Dillinger being the Perfect 10 you have to capitalize there

I love this 6 Man Tag Team Match because not only are all 6 men in this Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal for the WWE Intercontinental Championship but then again aren't 24 other men in this Battle Royal? Surely I am sure it will be a 30 Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal right? And the winner of that becomes not only the new WWE Intercontinental Champion but the winner I am sure would get a Randy Savage Memorial Trophy right?

 Smackdown: March 12th, 2015 – Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan
To open Smackdown this week, the intro video and pyro kicked things off. Mauro Ranallo, Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton introduced the show, promising a huge night as we inch closer to WrestleMania.
Randy Orton made his way to the ring to open this week’s episode. He grabbed a microphone and proceeded to discuss Cody Rhodes. Orton claimed he never wanted to do what he did on Raw. “Cody, you and I were done. Dusty may be your father and Goldust may be your brother, but it was I who raised you in this business. I handpicked you for Legacy, I molded you in my own image. With my guidance, you should’ve won several World Titles by now, just like I did. But instead, your ego grew bigger than it ever should have.” Orton recounted how he beat Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase at WrestleMania 26. “On that night, I thought this was settled. It was over. Fast forward five years and you take my attack a few weeks ago personally. It’s like you don’t know me at all, Cody. That wasn’t about you. I was making a statement that nothing would get in the way of me wearing championship gold again. You made the mistake of taking it personally.” Because of that, Randy said what he did on Monday was Cody’s fault. “You brought it upon yourself. I’m out here now to demand an apology from you, Cody. Whenever your body recovers and you can make it back here, you will apologize to me for making me do what I did.” Commentary didn’t understand how Orton could rationalize wanting an apology.
THE ASCENSION DEF. THE USOS IN 5:51; The longest reigning NXT Tag Team Champions against the red hot Usos kicked off this week’s Smackdown. The Ascension cut the ring in half on Jey Uso for most of the match. When Jimmy got the hot tag, he came in firing but a Konnor spinebuster stopped him in his tracks. They connected with the Falls of Man to end the Usos’ winning steak.
Viewers were taken to a recap of Sting on Raw this past Monday. For the first time ever, Sting spoke to the WWE Universe only to be interrupted by The Undertaker. From a graveyard, he dug a grave for Sting, dumping a wheelbarrow full of dead crows inside.
Before the next match, Dolph Ziggler’s announcement of the Randy Savage Memorial Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal was shown. Since then, several Superstars have thrown their names into the hat for the matchALBERTO DEL RIO, THE MIZ AND SHEAMUS W/ SUMMER RAE DEF. ADRIAN NEVILLE, CHRISTIAN AND DOLPH ZIGGLER IN 7:30; In a preview of the upcoming battle royal, this started with all six men trying to throw each other over the top. Ziggler’s team won that portion, dumping out their opponents. The match broke down to something more traditional. Ziggler neared a win but was chop blocked by the Miz. Christian reached over, tagged in and hit a flurry of offense but fell to a Brogue Kick.
A mixed reaction, though with more cheers, came over the arena as Roman Reigns made his way down to the ring. Once inside, he spoke about what happened on Raw. For those who missed it, Reigns directed viewers to the tron, where footage aired of Dean Ambrose hitting both Reigns and Seth Rollins with Dirty Deeds on Raw. “I’m not here to take up a lot of time. Talking isn’t what I’m about. I just have one message to give.” Roman said that he and Dean remain brothers but just like before Fastlane, things are getting heated between them. “The WWE World Heavyweight Title is what it’s all about. I understand that. When it comes to the title, I’d do what I had to against a brother. But Monday wasn’t about the title. It was about you letting Seth Rollins get in your head.” Roman claimed that Dean made a mistake and then issued a challenge. “Things didn’t get settled at Fastlane. You and me, Dean. This Monday on Raw. After I beat you, I’ll have my hand raised and it’ll happen again at WrestleMania. Believe that.”
Viewers were taken to a recap of the altercation between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan on Raw. Bryan laid down the challenge and Punk accepted. They’ll meet one on one at WrestleMania.
NIKKI BELLA DEF. ALICIA FOX IN 2:32; During this match, AJ Lee sat in on commentary as she’s scheduled to face Nikki Bella in a Number One Contender’s match on Raw. Nikki made quick work of Alicia Fox, winning with a vicious forearm shot. Nikki glared at AJ after the match, with both women wanting their hands on the Women’s Title and Emma.
Backstage, Renee Young interviewed The Usos. She asked them for their thoughts on their first loss since returning from injury. A dejected Jimmy said they didn’t come back to suffer losses. “We’ve spent the last few years showing everyone that we’re the best tag team in the world.” Jey chimed in, reminding everyone of the Ascension’s accomplishments. “They’ve been the best tag team in NXT for a long time now. To prove which team is really better, I think we need more than one match. Ascension, we ain’t done with you.”
An advertisement ran to promote WrestleMania, set to “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy.
In a dark room somewhere, Bray Wyatt stood flanked by the WWE Tag Team Champions, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Bray spoke to the WWE Universe, saying that Triple H has made a grave mistake. “Hunter, I know you’re watching right now. I want you to look around at your family. Aurora. Murphy. Vaughn. Those beautiful baby girls you hold so dearly. You have them because you have the WWE. Without you marrying into this, you don’t have that family. With that, I ask you something, Hunter. Why risk everything? Why risk all the beauty in your world in a fight with me? When I beat you at WrestleMania, and yes, I will beat you, you’ll lose the one thing that got you everything. I’ll take the WWE from you and when I do, maybe, just maybe, your family will fall in line and follow the buzzards.”
JOHN CENA DEF. CESARO IN 18:48; Before the match began, Cesaro sent Tyson Kidd and Natalya to the back, wanting to prove himself against John Cena. Commentary noted that these two had a classic last year on Raw, won by Cena. This was more of the same, with both men bringing everything in their arsenals. Cena survived a popup uppercut, Cesaro swing and Neutralizer. Cesaro kicked out of an Attitude Adjustment and amazed the audience by powering out of the STF. He set Cena up for the Ricola Bomb, his pre-WWE finisher, but Cena wowed by countering into a hurricanrana. A second AA kept Cesaro down for the count.
As John Cena celebrated, Tom Phillips said, “What an incredible match! There’s no possible way that Alexander Rusev can see what and not think John Cena is worthy of a United States Title shot.”

- Cena in the main event beating Cesaro...not only does Cena hold 2 victories over Cesaro now but in both matches both were bar-burner classics with this match proving to be no different than their last match except the fact that Cesaro pushed Cena even more to the limit than the last time that they were ever in the ring together but at the same time with Cena winning this match I can definitely say that the WWE United States Champion Rusev definitely was watching this match well from wherever he was but I was expecting Rusev to somehow show up and cost Cena the match or he would show up on the ramp watching the match and then post-match he would show up to attack Cena but either way I think Rusev will accept Cena's challenge for the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 31 and why? Because Rusev is that confident and so far ever since he has come into the WWE he has proven to be dominant winning match after match with no one being able to stop him
- Bray Wyatt with an omnious warning I mean Bray Wyatt he has everything to gain if he wins his match at WrestleMania 31 against Triple H...I mean if Wyatt wins Triple H is no longer the COO of WWE because Wyatt will own the WWE but for Triple H he has everything to lose if he loses that match...so something has gotta give
- The Ascension with them beating The Usos it actually builds The Ascension up as a legit tag team especially with them beating the hottest tag team in WWE because before this The Usos fresh off of their return have been winning match after match until losing to Konnor and Viktor but after that win I think it is safe to say The Ascension put themselves in contention for a future WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity but then The Usos wanting a rematch against The Ascension...that match will probably happen on RAW with the winners getting a title opportunity against the WWE Tag Team Champions Harper & Rowan of the Wyatt Family with that match happening at WrestleMania 31
- Nikki Bella beating Alicia Fox with AJ Lee on commentary...I would have thought that this match would have ended in Nikki and AJ coming to blows considering both women are going to be in a #1 Contender's Match for the WWE Women's Championship with the winner facing Emma for the title probably at WrestleMania 31 I can imagine Emma will probably be on commentary during the match that they have or she will somehow try to cause a No Contest and it ends up being a Triple Threat for the title
- Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk I wonder if there will be a Contract Signing for this match? Or will there be a Contract Signing for any of the other matches on the card?
- Roman Reigns challenging Ambrose to a match on RAW I wonder if Ambrose will accept?
- The heel team of Del Rio, Miz and Sheamus beating the team of the WWE Intercontinental Champion Ziggler, Neville and Christian in 6 Man Tag Team action...I mean I would have thought that both teams would have turned on each other with all 6 men turning on one another considering all 6 men as well as other men will be in that Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal and for it being for the WWE Intercontinental Championship I mean every man wants the title that Ziggler has so that makes him a marked man and not to mention the winner of this match will probably get a Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal trophy along with the IC Title so there is so many bragging rights on the line I would have expected the whole locker room to show up during this match and it turning to a melee
- The Undertaker at the graveyard and him having that wheelbarrow of dead crows and pouring the remains of that inside the grave as a message to Sting...if that is not a message then I don't know what is but I wonder what Sting's response will be to that? I can see Sting playing supernatural mind games of his own with Taker
- Randy Orton does have a point...I mean Orton practically made Cody who he is today think about it...they were a part of the group Legacy one of the greatest groups in WWE history with Orton, Rhodes and DiBiase but even before that when Cody Rhodes first debuted in the WWE back in 2007 who was his first feud? It was none other than Orton and yeah Orton he and Rhodes have been in the ring together countless times especially at Mania but that technically was not a one on one match it was a Triple Threat with DiBiase at WrestleMania 26 and Orton yeah he may have won that match but one on one at Mania Orton and Rhodes have never been one on one and now fast forward all these years later their paths cross yet again...I can see this leading up to Orton vs Rhodes at WrestleMania 31

Raw: March 16th, 2015 – Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa
Raw opened with a video package recapping the altercation between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan last week. Punk accepted his former partner’s challenge for a match at WrestleMania. Tonight, Bryan addresses the WWE Universe from his home. Cutting to the arena, Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and Booker T introduced the show and promised a huge night.
The man in charge, Triple H, stormed out to the ring to start the program. He looked to be in a foul mood and ripped off his jacket once entering the ring. Triple H addressed Bray Wyatt, telling him that he went too far on Smackdown when he mentioned his kids. “Say whatever the hell you want about me. I’ve heard it all. Hell, even say what you want about Stephanie, she’s heard it all too. We’re fair game. But my daughters are off limits you son of a bitch. Get your ass out here and I don’t give a damn if you wanna bring your two followers with you.” Triple H left the ring, grabbed a steel chair and returned to the ring with it. The Wyatt Family appeared on the Titantron, from an outdoors location. Bray smiled and spoke, saying Triple H made a grave mistake. “I knew once you heard my words on Smackdown, you’d huff and you’d puff and you’d blow all the houses down to get to me. But in your anger, negligence was born.” The camera panned out to show the Wyatts standing in the large yard of a massive home. Triple H’s jaw dropped and he took a step back in shock. Bray said, “I think we’ll pay Aurora, Murphy and Vaughn a visit. Hunter…we’re home.” The feed cut out and Triple H ran up the ramp and to the back.
Returning, Triple H was shown walking quickly outside of the arena. He met with a worker and told him, “Fuel up the jet right now. I need to get home as quickly as possible.”THE USOS DEF. THE ASCENSION IN 8:13; Since returning from injury, the Usos hadn’t lost. That changed on Smackdown, when the Ascension, who only suffered a handful of losses since debuting, bested them. Unlike their match on Thursday, this was back and forth with nobody gaining a clear advantage. Jimmy nailed Viktor with a superkick from out of nowhere to win and regain momentum for the brothers.
A short recap was shown of Randy Orton’s promo on Smackdown. After assaulting Cody Rhodes and sending him to the hospital, Orton blamed Cody for his actions, saying he made him do what he did.RANDY ORTON DEF. ZACK RYDER IN 1:26; This was a mauling. Randy Orton showed the same aggression he brought to Cody Rhodes last week and won with the RKO.
An advertisement ran to plug WrestleMania, set to “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy.
In the back, Renee Young interviewed WWE Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler. She informed him that more names, including New Day and 3MB, have joined the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal. Dolph liked the idea and said the more the merrier. “In fact, those guys being added is great for my latest idea. This Thursday night on Smackdown, there will be a gauntlet match involving former Intercontinental Champions who will be competing in the battle royal.” Dolph added that both New Day and 3MB have some former champions who are invited to the match.
The ring was set up with a red carpet and a table in the middle. Michael Cole stood in the ring and said that with Triple H gone, he will oversee the upcoming contract signing. He introduced Batista first, but “The Animal” never showed up. Confused, Michael moved on to introducing Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman, who showed up. Heyman grabbed the microphone, saying that Batista came to his senses. “It’s clear that he realized he bit off more than he could chew. I bet he went on the WWE Network, searched Brock Lesnar and witnessed the violence that my client brings to the ring.” Heyman was interrupted by Batista’s theme, as he arrived this time. Batista sat across from Brock and grabbed a microphone, saying he needed to come out last. “Michael, Paul, you both need to remember that I’m the star around here. I’m the one with a film that made over $750 million at the box office. You do things on my time.” Brock’s smirk vanished and Heyman looked appalled. He responded, questioning Batista’s brains. “Do you realize who you’re saying these things to? This is the youngest WWE Champion in history. He’s the beast who sent the Rock running to Hollywood. He is the 1 in 21-1. Yes, he beat the Undertaker at WrestleMania, which is something you failed at if I remember correctly.” Heyman continued to put over Brock, saying Batista could never accomplish the things Brock has. Brock signed on the dotted line when Paul finished, but Batista didn’t flinch at all. He stayed quiet for a few moments before saying, “Does it eat you up inside, Paul? Heyman asked what Batista was talking about. Batista responded, “To know that Brock Lesnar accomplished everything you just listed, and let’s not forget his UFC success, and yet he’ll still never be the star that I am.” The crowd “oohed” at that and Batista signed the contract. He calmly stood, walked past Brock and Paul, and left up the ramp. “Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Paul Heyman quite so offended,” said Michael Cole.
A commercial was shown to hype WrestleMania week! Special “WrestleMania Today” shows will air on Thursday and Friday, live from Axxess. On Saturday, the WWE Hall of Fame takes place and of course, WrestleMania is Sunday!THE NEW DAY W/ XAVIER WOODS DEF. BIG SHOW AND BO DALLAS, LOS MATADORES W/ EL TORITO, AND TYSON KIDD AND CESARO W/ NATALYA IN 6:54; All these teams are scheduled to participate in the Randy Savage Memorial Intercontinental Title Battle Royal at WrestleMania. Tyson Kidd and Cesaro came in confident due to how close they’ve come to dethroning Dolph Ziggler in recent months. It cost them when Kidd got nailed with Trouble in Paradise from out of nowhere and took the loss.
The final addition to the 2015 Hall of Fame was chronicled in a video package. Japanese legend Tatsumi Fujinami will join Randy Savage, DDP, Vader, the Steiner Brothers, Connor “The Crusher” and Molly Holly!
Viewers were taken back to the Wyatt Family, still outside of Triple H’s home. Bray pulled the handheld camera up as he stood outside of a window. He put his finger to his lips, signaling to keep quiet. He pointed the camera at the window. Inside, a woman sat on the couch while three little girls played ring around the rosy. Bray pulled the camera back to himself and whispered, “Time is running out, Hunter.”
In the ring, Damien Sandow and R-Truth prepared for a match to preview the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal. Before they could start though, fire exploded on the stage. For the first time in months, “The Demon” Kane walked down to the ring. Sandow and Truth froze, so Kane grabbed Sandow by the throat and Chokeslammed him. Truth fired off some strikes but also fell to a Chokeslam. Kane taunted and fire shot off from the turnbuckles.
A recap aired of the interaction between Sting and The Undertaker last week. The news broke that next week, just six days from WrestleMania, Sting and the Undertaker will come face to face on Raw!
Renee Young interviewed Dean Ambrose about the main event tonight. Dean said he understood where Roman Reigns came from on Smackdown. “If I would’ve gotten hit with Dirty Deeds, I’d want some revenge too. But if he thinks there’s an outcome tonight that’s different from him taking another Dirty Deeds, then he’s sorely mistaken. And if that scumbag, Seth Rollins, decides to show up, we can have us a repeat of last Monday.”
NUMBER ONE CONTENDER’S MATCH – AJ LEE VS. NIKKI BELLA ENDED IN A NO CONTEST IN 4:53; Outside of Women’s Champion Emma, Nikki Bella and AJ Lee are the two women on the roster with the most momentum. Not only that, but both want nothing more than to get revenge on Emma. They went back and forth until Emma appeared and attacked both women, causing the no contest.
“Emma will do anything to keep her title safe,” claimed Jerry Lawler. She grabbed her title and waited for AJ Lee or Nikki Bella to get to their feet. Suddenly, the music of Paige played to a thunderous pop. The former Women’s Champion charged the ring and tackled Emma to the ground. She bashed her head into the mat repeatedly. Emma wriggled free and escaped out of the ring, clutching her title to her chest. Paige stared a hole through her as the crowd continued to roar. Nikki and AJ began to stir. As Nikki got close to Paige, she was kicked in the ribs. Paige went to do the same to AJ, but stopped. They looked at each other for a moment before Paige rolled out of the ring and left up the ramp.
The music of John Cena played as he charged down to the ring. Cena got on the microphone and addressed the elephant in the room. “Alexander Rusev has made it public that he believes I’m not worthy of a United States Title shot. Yet here I stand, after beating everyone put in front of me since then. I don’t know if your Bulgarian ass was watching Smackdown, but I beat Cesaro in one of the best matches of 2015 thus far.” Cena demanded a title shot and wanted an answer. He waited several seconds, but got no response. He went to speak again, but now Alexander Rusev’s music played as the United States Champion walked to the stage with Lana. Lane attempted to talk but Rusev stopped her, motioning that he had this under control. He told Cena that he proved nothing to him. “So what if you beat a few people in a few weeks? I’ve been beating everyone for nearly a year now. You are nothing now. I am ‘the man’ around here.” Cena told Rusev to prove it. “You’ve got no challenger lined up for WrestleMania and my schedule is wide open. If my time is truly behind me, then you should have no problem beating me. You’ve defeated future Hall of Famers, you have a perfect record and you’ve stated that you want to go down as the greatest of all time. I respect the hell out of that. But I don’t respect you ducking my challenge. You may well go down as the best ever, but not if you don’ t face me on the biggest stage of them all.” Rusev thought about this and responded by saying that he doesn’t have to beat Cena to validate his claims in his eyes. “But, now that I think about it, a victory over the formerly great John Cena at WrestleMania would be a nice notch in my belt.” Rusev accepted the challenge and Cena celebrated in the ring as the match became official.
DANIEL BRYAN DEF. FANDANGO W/ LAYLA IN 3:01; With no CM Punk in the arena tonight, Daniel Bryan was left alone to attempt to gain momentum heading into WrestleMania. He did just that, making Fandango submit to the Yes Lock.
Back to the Triple H home as Bray’s camera looked upon the house. Triple H arrived and frantically entered. The camera view seemed to be from nearby bushes. The shot zoomed in to see Triple H discussing something with the babysitter, who pointed upstairs. Relief came over Triple H’s face and he headed upstairs. The camera pulled back to reveal Bray again. “Hunter, I’m not gonna do anything to your children. I wouldn’t dare harm a hair on their pretty little heads. You see, I meant what I said on Smackdown. They’ll follow the buzzards after WrestleMania, just like everyone else. I did this tonight to prove a point. You are no longer the Cerebral Assassin. These are my mind games you’re playing. But at WrestleMania, there will be no more games. There will just be destruction. RUN!”
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins made his way to the ring to sit in on commentary before the main event.
DEAN AMBROSE DEF. ROMAN REIGNS VIA DISQUALIFICATION IN 15:43; Like their battle at Fastlane, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns traded offense and showed their knowledge of one another. Neither man could gain a clear upper hand and they had counters for most offense. Reigns fought off Dirty Deeds and shoved Ambrose into the turnbuckle. He connected with the Superman Punch from out of nowhere and let out a loud roar. He was cut off by a shot with the WWE Title from Seth Rollins.
The referee called for the bell but Seth wasn’t done. He waited for Dean to stir and drilled him with the Curb Stomp. Reigns began to stir as well, so Seth did the same to him. Seth held his championship high in the air, standing over his fallen former Shield brothers.

Bray Wyatt has gotten into the head of Triple H, not only does Bray want to try to come after his family, but not to mention his whole COO reign. Indeed Wyatt's crossed a line, does he know that Triple H has destroyed everyone who tries to mess with his family and friends?. Or does he not know it?. I mean you cross with Triple H's family and friends, you get hurt and mugged, and not to mention. It's not only career suicide to threaten Triple H's family, it's career suicide when you get in Triple H's head, cause they don't call him the King of Kings for nothing. And he's proven that at every single WrestleMania whether he's won or lost, but all I say is this. Triple H better come out swinging at Wyatt, but if Wyatt becomes WWE COO. What the hell is going to happen with the WWE?.
As for Sting and Undertaker, I'm really intrigued that you decided to let these two guys fight at WrestleMania 31, and not to mention, decide to let Undertaker retire after 25 years, didn't he say he was going to come after Brock Lesnar in this after WrestleMania 30. I don't believe Taker should retire just yet, I think he has a little bit of shall we say unfinished business with Mr. Lesnar. But Sting could pull off his big WWE in-ring debut win at WrestleMania, and what a way he could if he can defeat The Undertaker. I think we could see some Attitude Era stars and WCW Stars come out in this match as well, it's a possibility. I mean it's too early to call, but I would love to see it happen.
Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, never would expect Punk to turn heel against Bryan. But he did anyway, Punk's jealous of Bryan's success, I mean Punk has gained everything, that pipe-bomb promo led him to success, then walked out, only to return again to beat Triple H at Summerslam, and as for Daniel Bryan, in his last year, his dream came true at WrestleMania only to have it stripped away at Summerslam by the beast incarnate Brock Lesnar. So there is a lot of animosity, And as far as I'm concerned, where is AJ Lee and Brie Bella fitting into this feud?.
Onto the Triple Threat encounter with Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose. Yea, you could've let these three wrestle at this WrestleMania 31 in real-life, But they wasted it away, But in your diary. We finally get to see three Shield Members headline a WrestleMania, and if anything. Ambrose should win the title, or either Rollins may retain and become a long-term champion. But As for Reigns, there is no chance in hell that he should ever win the WWE Championship. NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!.
Love the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal for the Intercontinental Championship, and I guess Demon Kane is back instead of Corporate Kane, that's good. Demon Kane beats out Corporate Kane.
And onto Batista and Brock Lesnar, these monsters have been former WWE Champions, they both debuted in 2002. Brock won the Royal Rumble in 2003, Batista won the Royal Rumble in 2005, both headlined Wrestlemanias and won the titles. Batista of course has the Batista Bomb and the Spinebuster, Brock has the F5 and the German Suplexes, but if anybody deserves to win this one. It has to be Brock.
Cena and Rusev for the U.S. Title, of course we all know Cena's going to bury Rusev so I think Rusev's US Title Reign and Undefeated Streak is in dead meat.
Keep up with the good work at WrestleMania, and if you like, I know you've had some stuff on your plate recently. But I think it would be a good time to comment on my WWF 1993-1996 Diary. Summerslam is up.

Bray Wyatt upped the ante I mean he definitely played mind games to the point of going too far...I mean it is one thing to target Triple H's family like his father-in-law Vince or even his brother-in-law Shane but it is another thing to target his 3 daughters I mean does Bray Wyatt really know what he is in for at WrestleMania? Does he really know what or who he is facing? He is not facing a man in the suit he is not facing the COO or the businessman he is facing The Game The Cerebral Assassin The King of Kings he is facing a man who will do anything to protect his family and that is what makes Triple H dangerous
I mean where was Stephanie while all of this was happening? I mean Stephanie her daughters all 3 of them were put in harm's way by Bray Wyatt and his followers the WWE Tag Team Champions Harper & Rowan...I bet Stephanie after this she will probably be woken up and align herself back with her husband
The Usos in the rematch beat The Ascension and now by doing that they have more or less gotten back on the right track but where does this leave The Usos as far as WrestleMania goes? I mean they still don't have a match
Randy Orton showing us all that he is still the cold, vicious, ruthless merciless Viper that we all know he can be and that was evident in him beating Ryder but if he wanted to send a stronger message to Cody Rhodes he should have punted Ryder in the skull
Ziggler he is the WWE Intercontinental Champion but he has to defend his title inside a Battle Royal where he doesn't have to be pinned or made to submit to lose his title he simply has to be thrown over the top rope in order to lose his title and that puts Ziggler at a disadvantage because in a Battle Royal it is every man for himself but this is not just any regular Battle Royal it is for Ziggler's title and the winner of that becomes not only WWE Intercontinental Champion but they also win the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal Trophy too because I am sure they win a trophy too...and Ziggler competing in a Gauntlet Match where former IC Champions are eligible to be in it so it only begs the question of who else will be in that Gauntlet on Smackdown?
Batista and Brock they are both mega stars in this business both debuting in 2002 and fast forward 13 years later both men are surefire first ballot future WWE Hall of Famers I mean their accomplishments are endless but whose accomplishments outweigh the other? I would say Brock because he did what no man in history has done and that is end the undefeated streak of The Undertaker Brock is also a former King of the Ring former Royal Rumble Match winner the youngest WWE Champion in history a former NCAA Division 1 Heavyweight Champion former UFC Heavyweight Champion the man has done it all in this business while Batista his accomplishments are endless but Batista he is more or less a Hollywood movie star now he has Guardians of the Galaxy under his belt already and now he is going to film the 007 film Spectre so I don't see Batista being around much longer...so something has gotta give...I see Batista going to Suplex City at WrestleMania 31
New Day beating Big Show & Bo Dallas, Los Matadores and Kidd & Cesaro in a Fatal 4-Way...I think it is safe to say The New Day one of them could be a favorite to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion I mean Kofi is a former IC Champion but then again so is Big E. and then you can't forget about Xavier Woods but then again it is every man for himself and won't that cause tension between The New Day or any tag team in general that tries to get into the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal for the WWE Intercontinental Championship?
The final inductee for the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame Class is Japanese legend Tatsumi Fujinami and he joins Connor The Crusher, Molly Holly, DDP, The Steiner Brothers (Scott & Rick), Vader and Macho Man Randy Savage to round out this year's class so it makes me wonder who will be in next year's class? I am surprised Kevin Nash wasn't inducted considering in real life in 2015 he was inducted into that class
Kane destroying both Sandow and R-Truth was awesome...Demon Kane is back...I am happy that he is no longer Corporate Kane and he is back to being the Kane of old
Sting/Taker face to face on the final RAW before Mania the go-home show before Mania...I can't wait...it will either end in Sting getting the Tombstone Piledriver courtesy of The Undertaker or Taker being hit with the Scorpion Death Drop
I think it ends up being a Fatal 4 Way for the WWE Women's Championship with Emma having to defend her title against Nikki Bella, AJ and Paige especially given how AJ & Nikki's match ended in a No Contest with Emma causing it and then attacking both AJ and Nikki only for Paige to get involved and then Emma hightailing it
Rusev vs Cena for the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 31...this is perhaps the biggest match in Rusev's title reign possibly the biggest match of his career considering who he is facing...John Cena a 15 time WWE Champion former WWE United States Champion former WWE Tag Team Champion former Royal Rumble Match winner twice in 2008 & 2013 former Slammy Award winner you name it Cena has done it all and he is a movie star too and Rusev is undefeated hasn't been pinned or hasn't been made to submit and he is facing a future WWE first ballot Hall of Famer in Cena he is facing the face of the company...either way this is probably the match that I am looking the most forward to
Daniel Bryan beating Fandango...I am actually kind of surprised CM Punk wouldn't try to interfere in this match either his music distracting Bryan or Punk himself standing on the stage watching the match and Bryan taking his eyes off of Fandango or Punk causing a DQ by attacking Bryan again but with Bryan getting a win here I think next week the final RAW before Mania Punk and Bryan will go face to face one way or another
Rollins in the main event causes a No Contest yet again well causing a DQ by hitting Reigns with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt just as Reigns was about to win the match setting up for the Spear on Ambrose and then Curb Stomping Reigns but then doing the same to Ambrose laying him out with the belt and then hitting him with a Curb Stomp to stand tall with the title...could that be an omen of things to come at WrestleMania? Could Rollins do the unthinkable and retain the title at WrestleMania? Or will Ambrose finally get his WrestleMania moment by winning the title after winning the Royal Rumble Match? Or will Reigns get his redemption by winning the title?

NXT: March 18th, 2015 – LC Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio
To open things, a hype video played surrounding NXT’s first venture outside of Florida. They arrived in Ohio, for a double shot of shows in Columbus and Cleveland. Tonight’s episode features action from Columbus. This was followed by the weekly NXT intro video and a warm welcome from Rich Brennan, Jason Albert and Renee Young.
CARMELLA, ENZO AMORE AND COLIN CASSADY DEF. ALEXA BLISS, BLAKE AND MURPHY IN 6:19; The rivalry came to a head with all six Superstars involved. Alexa Bliss jawed with the fans from her hometown, which cost her when Carmella nailed an enziguri to stop her momentum. That allowed a tag to Cass, who cleaned house. Alexa tried getting involved again, only for Carmella to tackle her to the outside. Cass hit the Empire Elbow to get the three on Blake.Carmella joined the NXT Tag Team Champions in the ring to celebrate in front of the Columbus faithful. It was a short lived celebration though, thanks to the arrival of Austin Aries and Bobby Roode. The new duo snuck into the ring and got physical for the first time, jumping Enzo and Cass. Carmella jumped on Roode’s back to stop him from stomping on Enzo. Alexa Bliss slid back inside and pulled her off, planting her with a DDT. Alexa left with her boys, scolding them for not being more like Aries and Roode. Roode and Aries picked up the NXT Tag Team Titles and placed them on their shoulders, telling each other that they look good with the titles.
A special video package aired, showing highlights of Kevin Owens’ NXT run. From his debut and NXT Tag Team Title win, to turning on Sami Zayn, to capturing the NXT Title, Owens has been a force to be reckoned with since arriving in NXT.
WWE and the Flintstones come together for the latest WWE Films production!
A WrestleMania advertisement was shown, set to “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy.
Viewers were now taken to clips from NXT at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus. Not only was there a live NXT show during the Festival, but fans got autographs, a meet and greet, and NXT star Dana Brooke competed in the Festival itself.
AMERICAN ALPHA W/ JACK SWAGGER AND ZEB COLTER DEF. BIFF BUSICK AND DREW GULAK IN 2:43; American Alpha issued their open challenge this week and it was answered by two independent wrestling standouts. Drew Gulak and Biff Busick brought a no-nonsense approach to the ring but Chad Gable and Jason Jordan were just too good. They won by nailing Grand Amplitude on Gulak.
Like the video of the Arnold Sports Festival, footage was shown from NXT’s debut in Cleveland, Ohio at the Agora Theater. Several WWE Superstars, like Cesaro, Tyson Kidd and Adrian Neville, made special appearances to compete against NXT talent. The show was main evented by Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens for the NXT Title, which will be seen next week on NXT!
A WWE Shop advert ran.
Fans were now taken to a video package on Finn Balor. It showed highlights of his time in NXT, but he also spoke. Finn said that he’s won championships everywhere he’s gone in his career. “If I can’t capture the NXT Title, then what am I even doing here?”
BECKY LYNCH DEF. NEVAEH IN 3:02; In action for the first time since a crushing defeat at TakeOver: Rival, Becky Lynch faced local competitor Nevaeh. Nevaeh brought the fight to Becky, and even picked up a near fall. The “Lass Kicker” was determined to rebound though, and made her tap to the Dis-Arm-Her.
Devin Taylor stood by with Corey Graves. She asked him about facing Hideo Itami tonight, in a rematch from the Number One Contender’s Tournament. Corey said he wasn’t fussed with it. “I beat Hideo in the tournament and I’ll beat him again tonight. Since he’ll be a cakewalk, I’m looking ahead to WrestleMania weekend. Tyler Breeze brought it up last week but he’s not going to win the tournament to earn a spot in the Randy Savage Memorial Battle Royal. That belongs to me. I’ve done everything in NXT and now it’s time I take things to the next level. The Intercontinental Title sounds like a lovely way to start that, don’t you think?”
A commercial ran to promote the dream match between Batista and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania!
In the back, Devin Taylor interviewed Apollo Crews. She asked him about beating Jack Swagger in his open challenge last week. Apollo said it felt good to shut up the overconfident Swagger. Before he could continue, Swagger attacked him from behind. He shouted that Apollo embarrassed him last week, before throwing him into nearby equipment. Swagger dared him to try and beat him again.
HIDEO ITAMI DEF. COREY GRAVES IN 9:14; A rematch from the Semi-Finals of the Number One Contender’s Tournament, albeit with a different outcome. Graves again went for the leg, looking to set up Lucky 13 and neutralize Hideo’s kicks. Itami planned for it, escaping several holds on the leg and breaking out some big kicks. He nailed the shotgun dropkick to pick up the win and gain more momentum.
To close the show, one final video package was shown. It showed highlights of both Kevin Owens and Finn Balor. Owens has been dominant since arriving in NXT, but Balor also remains undefeated. The two will meet for the first time ever next week on NXT, from Cleveland’s Agora Theater!

So far there are only 6 matches for WrestleMania so it begs the question of if any other matches will end up being added to the WrestleMania 31 card

Smackdown: March 19th, 2015 – Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri
The WWE Signature flashed across the screen to open the show. This was followed by a video package showing highlights of the battle between Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns on Raw. Their match ended when WWE Champion Seth Rollins got involved and took out both of his WrestleMania opponents. The Smackdown intro video played and the trio of Mauro Ranallo, Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton welcomed viewers to the show. “We have a huge show tonight, just ten days away from the biggest show of the year, WrestleMania!” exclaimed Mauro.
The crowd stood at the surprise arrival of former WWE Women’s Champion, Lita. The Hall of Famer entered the ring to an ovation and grabbed a microphone from ringside. She said that she was just out here to make a historic announcement for whoever didn’t see the big news on Twitter earlier today. “For the first time since 2007, the WWE Women’s Championship will be defended at WrestleMania!” The fans cheered and Lita continued, saying Emma will face AJ Lee, Paige and Nikki Bella in a Fatal Four Way match. She was interrupted by the arrival of the pissed off champion, Emma. She snatched the microphone from Lita and called the announcement an outrage. “Nikki, AJ and Paige are all failures who couldn’t beat me. Why do they deserve another shot?” Lita said the Board of Directors made the decision based on Emma ruining the number one contender’s match on Monday. Emma called that unfair and continued to complain. Lita responded, “You keep saying this division is all about you. At WrestleMania, you’re everyone’s target. Isn’t that how you want it?” Emma took offense to that and slapped Lita. She grabbed Lita by the hair, looking to continue the assault. “This isn’t right! Lita’s had several neck surgeries!” shouted Mauro. Before Emma could do more damage, AJ Lee and Nikki Bella charged to the ring, separately, and chased Emma off. Nikki checked on Lita, while AJ looked back and forth between Emma on the ramp and Nikki. The crowd came to their feet when Paige appeared atop the stage. Emma quickly hopped off the ramp and exited to the side of the stage, away from her three WrestleMania opponents.
A graphic was shown to promote the upcoming WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony, which you can see exclusively on the WWE Network the night before WrestleMania.
CM PUNK DEF. ADAM ROSE W/ THE EXOTIC EXPRESS IN 2:24; CM Punk made quick work of Adam Rose, hitting him with the GTS for the win. After the match, Punk pointed to the WrestleMania logo and signaled that Daniel Bryan will go to sleep on that night.
A recap was shown of everything that went down between Bray Wyatt and Triple H on Raw. Bray was at Triple H’s home in Connecticut and threatened his children. Triple H took a private jet home, only to find his family safe and sound. Bray addressed the camera, saying he wouldn’t hurt the kids because they will follow him after he wins at WrestleMania. Triple H will address these actions this Monday on Raw.
RANDY ORTON DEF. ADRIAN NEVILLE IN 5:23; The aggressive run of Randy Orton continued. Adrian Neville fought hard and picked up several near falls, but Orton viciously attacked him at every turn. Neville tried a springboard clothesline, only to be caught with a huge RKO.
Randy Orton stepped back and looked to inflict further damage. He wanted to hit the punt, but then “Smoke and Mirrors” played. Cody Rhodes charged to the ring for the first time since being put through a table by Orton over a week ago. He tackled Orton to the ground and fired away with rights and lefts. The “Viper” slithered out of the ring and escaped through the crowd. Cody gave chase heading into commercial.
During the break, Randy Orton made it to the parking lot and hopped in a car, leaving the arena.
This was followed by a video of several WWE Superstars and legends making predictions for the Randy Savage Memorial Intercontinental Title Battle Royal. Bret Hart believed Tyson Kidd would win, John Cena predicted Dolph Ziggler would retain, Shawn Michaels said Cesaro would win the battle royal again and Booker T picked Christian, to name a few.
The commentary team spent the next few minutes running down the card for WrestleMania.
NUMBER ONE CONTENDER’S MATCH – THE USOS DEF. THE ASCENSION IN 6:39; Last week on Smackdown, the Ascension became the first team to beat the Usos since their return from injury. The Usos returned the favor on Raw. The stakes were at their highest here, and a flying splash by Jey earned the twins a shot at the WWE Tag Team Titles.
Viewers were taken to another Raw recap, this one focusing on Alexander Rusev finally accepting John Cena’s challenge. They will meet, for the first time ever, at WrestleMania for the United States Title. Could Cena finally be the one to beat the “Bulgarian Brute?”
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONS GAUNTLET MATCH – THE MIZ DEF. BIG E, CHRISTIAN, DREW MCINTYRE, KOFI KINGSTON AND SHEAMUS IN 30:20; Dolph Ziggler sat at ringside to watch this lengthy contest. First up, Christian and Kofi Kingston started things. They battled for a while until Christian eliminated him with the Killswitch. Drew McIntyre was out next, but fell to a rollup by “Captain Charisma”. Sheamus was the next entrant, and enjoyed picking apart an already tired Christian. He dominated at times before eliminating him with a brutal Brogue Kick. Big E was next, reigniting their feud over the Intercontinental Title from last year. The two brutes went toe to toe until Big E scored with the Big Ending. The Miz was the last entrant, and snuck in with several flash near falls. In the end, he slipped free of the Big Ending and scored with the Skull Crushing Finale to win.
Immediately, The Miz grabbed a microphone and bragged towards Dolph Ziggler. “Did you see that, Dolph? That’s exactly what’s gonna happen at WrestleMania. The Intercontinental Title will be back around the waist of the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.” At that moment, the lights went out and pyro exploded on the stage. “Break The Walls Down” hit and the WWE Universe erupted. For the first time in months, Chris Jericho stepped out onto the stage. He welcomed the fans to “Smackdown is Jericho” and told Miz that he, the nine-time champion, is the greatest Intercontinental Champion ever. “And I don’t think you’ve won this match, since I see another former Intercontinental Champion coming down to the ring right now!”
CHRIS JERICHO DEF. THE MIZ IN 5:29 TO WIN THE GAUNTLET; Caught off-guard, The Miz tried cheating several times in this final match. His low blow attempt was caught by Jericho, who held his arm. Face to face, Jericho scored with the Codebreaker for the 1-2-3.
Chris Jericho pointed at Dolph Ziggler on the outside, motioned around his waist and held up ten fingers, signaling that the Intercontinental Title would be his for a tenth time.
