WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 1st December 2014…Alright, so the first order of business is that John Cena is now a heel after turning on Dolph Ziggler in the Survivor Series match eight nights ago. I don’t get that whatsoever. I haven’t been following: but what is the purpose to this? It just seems like you want to get some serious heat on Ziggler so that he shines as the new face of the company…but heel Cena is an abysmal move and a costly one from a company logistical standpoint. What happens to Make A Wish, merchandising, the younger demographic of fans? I just don’t understand the long-term decision to have Cena turn heel and join the Authority, who he fought for so long. It will be hard for me to continue with that in mind. The opening promo despite that was quite well-written. Is Vince McMahon sticking around now? Randy Orton and Seth Rollins booked for Tables, Ladders and Chairs is a nice decision. I will say though, the announcement at the end of the promo signalling the main event wasn’t made too clear for me to understand. Sounds realistic in that department, though. So, are the New Day a heel faction? I like that you are continuing the trend of having Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods switch between roles though. It may be my favourite thing about them. A weird win for them against Los Matadores…not exactly a sound opening contest. The opening contest of RAW is usually a hot, extensive one. This didn’t scream that exactly. Okay, I can actually get behind the heel faction concept: just try not to make them too stereotypical of being angry black men with a grudge against management. Especially when said management are portrayed as heel and corporate. Raising a fist in the air was too Nation of Domination, may I add. I could get behind Ryback challenging Rusev for the United States Championship – as long as it doesn’t leave Rusev’s waist. Given the original long-term goal for Rusev’s character, with John Cena now heel, what happens to Rusev? Who are we supposed to believe can stop this man? He need some character motivation. I hope you make the Slammy Awards episode of RAW compelling: it’s by far my least favourite episode of RAW every single year. Unlikely allied Divas is a tired subject, isn’t it? I hope you have explained why Brie and Nikki Bella are together again after their long, boring feud this past Fall. Paige and AJ Lee with the win was for the best. I can’t help but feel that their rivalry is growing tired too, though. Tamina returns, wow. I actually dig that. Taking out AJ Lee? Hmm…where did Paige go? Tyson Kidd and Cesaro having a feud could make for some interesting matches, but not exactly the most compelling characters. It kind of screams ‘SmackDown Feud’ rather than ‘RAW feud’ or ‘Pay-per-view compelling’. Curtis Axel proceeding to defeat Kidd was also confusing to me as Axel is a heel as well as Kidd. The dissension with Natalya made sense. Axel returning to take Natalya wasn’t needed and came across as awkward though: why did he leave and then come back? Dean Ambrose’s promo was really nice, as you grow the Bray Wyatt and Ambrose out even more reaching TLC in a few weeks. Ambrose then getting a win against Damien Mizdow was fine – that would be interesting though, because most of Mizdow’s charm with the WWE Universe is that he’s the Miz’s bump-taking manager. Maybe Miz would have been more appropriate in this position. No Wyatt tonight? I feel like this double segment with Dean needed more hype from Bray himself. The Slammys looks stacked: hopefully appropriately stacked, and not so much that it ruins the flow of the show with segments just to fit everybody into three hours. Cesaro and Mark Henry on Main Event sounds interesting…is Cesaro a face now? What’s the deal here? Cesaro and…Johnny Curtis? I think if you’re planning on bringing Curtis back to his roots he needs a name change for sure. Cesaro with the win was expecting, keeping him strong. When did Randy Orton come back? A huge five-on-two handicap match with the Authority obviously getting the win against Randy Orton and Dolph Ziggler…it was what it was. It definitely should have been the main event segment, though. Also I cannot help but feel Ryback and Cesaro should have intercepted before the match finished. It makes them look like lazy faces. The WWE needs more stronger babyfaces, especially now that their biggest face in John Cena is a heel. Cena getting the main event promo…I can’t help but feel the handicap match should have gone on last. Finally, a solid write-up for Cena’s long awaited promo, which definitely should have taken place earlier in the show. It’s weird that Dolph Ziggler after taking such a beating is suddenly totally healthy and ready to talk it out with Cena after about fifteen minutes. A solid promo to close the show: weird that Ziggler is still the Intercontinental Champion, though. And you raised a good point for yourself as a booker in this one…what happens to Cena getting his next opportunity at Brock Lesnar? Overall, I don’t really know how to feel about this show. I like the write-ups, but everything is very ‘out there’ and feels disorganised from a booking perspective. A lot of decisions I would have played out differently or not done at all. The undercard of RAW lacked greatly, if I watched this on television I would have probably fallen asleep (side note: also because RAW airs at 1am over here). I think you need to adjust to the structure of an episode of RAW: big segments in the opening thirty minutes, the beginning of the first and second and final segment of the show with smaller segments laced in between. You’ll get better. I hope to see this improve though, as despite its flaws I think it could have a good shelf life on this board.

Alright, here we go with Raw. An interesting way to open things up tonight, with a decent promo between The Authority and the opposing of Ziggler and Orton. I really think Cena should have opened the show, however. A meh opening to the show, would have had The New Day going later on to the show. I hope you give them more of a character than the WWE has, too. Which it seems you already have. So that is a plus right there. I would have put this Rusev/Ryback segment in the ring. However, I do like the idea of them feuding. Moving on, Paige and AJ teaming up again? Meh. The divas division has so much in it but is a total cluster of cocks. Wow, that is the second time I've used 'cluster of cocks' in replies today. I find it funny how Tyson Kidd has taken so many years to even be in the least bit relevant. Meh, Curtis Axel. I dunno where this is going. Natalya going with Curtis? I dunno. I'm confused. Solid promo between Dean Ambrose on Bray Wyatt, progressing their feud. I'm interested to see where you take them. Poor Mizdow, he deserves better than this treatmant from Ambrose damn it! Now Ryback is found out! What the hell! Damn you, Authoriteh! Luke Harper causing the disqualification between Cesaro and Johnny Curtis, meh. Gives Cesaro something to do, at least. Johnny Curtis. Just seems weird. The Authority are left taking on just Orton and Ziggler and well it was a good fight, it wasn't good enough. The Authority beast moding it hard. Finally, a hugely anticipated promo from John Cena. Him being interrupted by Dolph Ziggler - although I am okay with it - came off as completely strange. Ziggler already had the promo to start the show, then got laid out in the main event and now he is already back out to confront Cena? Blech. I dunno. Just seemed off-putting. I'm down for Ziggler versus Cena since you already pulled the big trigger on John turning heel, but I wouldn't have involved the Intercontinental Championship in their match. I would have had it for the contract to the number one contenders match or something, you know? We'll see where this goes, but you've shown improvement from your earlier days and I hope you can improve and clear out the complicated factors so far.

| EPISODE 114 December 2nd, 2014 Oklahoma City, OK |
Segment | Following the signature WWE intro video package, the WWE cameras pan across the WWE Universe in Oklahoma City as Michael Cole and Tom Phillips welcome us to another edition of WWE Main Event exclusively on the WWE Network. Both Michael Cole and Tom Phillips remind us that tonight we will see 'The King of Wrestling' Cesaro face 'The World's Strongest Man' Mark Henry in singles action later on. | Curtis Axel def. Titus O'Neil (w/ Heath Slater) in 8:42 Since his turn to being loved by the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW by interfering Tyson Kidd, Curtis Axel stepped into Oklahoma City to much fanfare as faced off against one half of Slater Gator in Titus O'Neil. As announced on WWE.com last night, Curtis Axel will face off against Tyson Kidd on the WWE: TLC Kickoff show. Curtis Axel had a lot to prove if he wants the WWE Universe to recognize him as being just as perfect as his late father. Titus and Axel both traded offense throughout the match, both men trading momentum, before Axel finished O'Neil off with a PerfectPlex for the pinfall victory.
Rising to his feet, Curtis Axel raised his arm in the air to cheers from the WWE Universe as Michael Cole and Tom Phillips both praise the hard earned victory. That is until the theme of Tyson Kidd hit as 'The Canadian Cat Lover' made his way on stage with a microphone in hand. "You think you're so perfect because your daddy was, Curtis? You're not. Because I am. Fact! I don't need to feed off a legacy to showcase why I am so good. I am better than the Harts. All of them combined couldn't last three minutes in the ring with me. And I'm sorry Curtis, but I won't be able to do our Kickoff match. My cat has an appointment that day and it's a lot more important than fighting you. However, I do have a friend that will beat you." reveals Kidd with a cheesy smile plastered on his face. Suddenly, Johnny Curtis emerges in the ring after hopping the guardrail and blasts Axel from behind with a huge forearm smash to the back of the head! Curtis Axel falls to the mat as Johnny Curtis leaves the ring and heads up the ramp to join Tyson Kidd in celebration.
| Commercial Break | Returning from break, a video package is aired promoting next week's edition of Monday Night RAW. Legends such as Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, Ric Flair, The New Age Outlaws will all be present to present Slammys! Also, Daniel Bryan will make his return to RAW. All this and more next Monday as RAW celebrates the year with the Slammy Awards! | Paige def. Summer Rae (w/ Layla) in 6:22 With her recent issues with the newly reformed Bella Twins, Paige has found herself fighting to good fight once again as she most recently teamed up with rival AJ Lee on Monday Night RAW. Wanting to get forgiveness for her past from the WWE Universe, Paige played to the crowd. Both women worked really hard to gain momentum, but Paige ultimately gained the victory with the vicious RamPaige finishing maneuver.
Paige rose to her feet following the victory to loud cheers from the WWE Universe in Oklahoma City. Paige celebrates on the turnbuckles, posing for the rabid Oklahoma fans with a smile on her face. As she starts heading up the ramp, a graphic is shown across the screen reminding us that Cesaro takes on Mark Henry in a huge match, and it's our Main Event later tonight!
| Commercial Break | Backstage, Renee Young introduces and reveals her guest at this time: Adam Rose! Rose made his way on set with the Rosebuds dancing behind him as he thanks Renee for this time. "A lot of people have been saying I've been a lemon to The Bunny. That's not funny. I've given Bunny the chance of a lifetime and I saved him from being relegated to kid's birthday parties. He should know his place under his God." said Rose as he sucked on a lollipop. Suddenly, The Bunny hops onto the interview set as Rose groans from the sight and the party stops. Rose stares The Bunny down before storming off the set, which prompts The Bunny to restart the party as they follow Rose off into the distance. Tom Phillips notes that The Bunny and Adam Rose are teaming up in our next match. | Gold & Stardust def. Adam Rose & The Bunny in 4:56 The team of Goldust and Stardust have been on an impressive winning streak lately as they looked to continue on with their tag team domination as they faced the rocky team of Adam Rose and The Bunny. Goldust and Rose both started the match, with 'The Party Animal' firmly in control until 'The Party Animal's Animal' tagged himself in and hopped into the ring. From there, the team of Goldust and Stardust dominated as they made quick work of The Bunny. Adam Rose watched as Stardust planted The Bunny with Dark Matter for the victory.
Following another impressive showing, Gold & Stardust both met in the middle of the ring posing with their WWE Tag Team championships high up in the air. Both Stardust and Goldust laughed in the ring as Adam Rose stayed on the ring apron staring a hole through his bunny rabbit. The tag team champions left the ring and returned backstage as Adam Rose entered the ring and picked The Bunny up to his feet. Rose yelled at the animal, while visibly upset, before planting him with the Party Foul as the non-stop dance party at ringside stood in silence. The Rosebuds not knowing what to do as Rose quickly made his way backstage, ashamed with The Bunny's actions here tonight.
| Commercial Break | Returning from break, another advertisement was shown, this time promoting this week's edition of WWE NXT, shown exclusively on the WWE Network. With only one week left until NXT TakeOver: Evolution, who will gain the most momentum? Could this be Sami Zayn's last appearance on NXT? Find out this Thursday night as NXT comes to you on the WWE Network! | Cesaro def. Mark Henry in 12:13 Both men represent two different sides of a war. Mark Henry is a proud member of The Authority, while Cesaro has chosen to be with the coalition to take down said Authority. After being targeted by Luke Harper these past few weeks, Cesaro had to watch his back as he faced the much larger Mark Henry. However, while both men possess incredible strength, Cesaro used his speed advantage over the 'World's Strongest Man'. After ducking underneath a huge clothesline, Cesaro swept the beast off his feet and swung him around in the Cesaro Swing for five revolutions before 'The King of Wrestling' secured the pinfall victory! This match exceeded a commercial break.
Following the match, Cesaro made it to his feet as the crowd remained awe-struck from Cesaro's huge feat of strength. The 'Swiss Superman' celebrated in the ring as Michael Cole and Tom Phillips inform us that per The Authority's orders, Cesaro will team with The Big Show as they face off against Luke Harper and Mark Henry on this week's edition of Friday Night Smackdown! Cesaro continues to celebrate with the WWE Universe as WWE Main Event comes to a close.

I'm loving this diary Progs, so far you've turned John Cena heel. I really like it, the question is when are you going to bring Sting in this diary to confront the Authority, I'm seeing a Sting/HHH feud at WrestleMania 31 down the line. But the question is why is Cena a heel, and Lesnar's a heel. Are we going to see a heel vs heel match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at the Royal Rumble Or is Cena setting up the Authority to prove that he can beat Brock Lesnar for the title. I don't know. Maybe we could see Brock defend the WWE World Heavyweight Title against 29 guys in the Royal Rumble Match or 39 men, and if you do make that Royal Rumble Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. It will be the first time in 23 years that the WWE World Heavyweight Title has been done at the 1992 Royal Rumble, the last time it was the WWE Championship, but it will be for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. I hope this happens,

| DECEMBER 4TH, 2014 ORLANDO, FLORIDA EPISODE 252
Stay Connected On Social Media Using The Following ↓ | Following the signature NXT intro, the attention is sent to a video package hyping up next week's NXT TakeOver: Evolution main event between Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn. It's been a year of redemption for Sami Zayn, following tough losses against the likes of Cesaro, Tyler Breeze and failing to capture the NXT championship from Adrian Neville. According to Zayn, at NXT TakeOver: Evolution, it is all or nothing as he will put his career on the line for a shot at Neville's championship. A few weeks ago, the stipulation was made official as Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn have both agreed to this war. Two former friends will go face to face in one week, and only one of them can leave Full Sail University with the NXT championship. However, will tonight be Sami Zayn's last night on the regular NXT show? Or will this be Adrian Neville's last week as the NXT champion?
We head live inside of Full Sail University as the NXT fans are rabid for yet another edition of WWE NXT. Corey Graves, Alex Riley and Rich Brennan welcome us to another edition of NXT, as we are one week away from NXT TakeOver: Evolution shown only on the WWE Network. Later on tonight, Aiden English will look to gain momentum for the Vaudevillians before their big match in one week as he takes on Sin Cara in singles action.
Baron Corbin def. Enhancement Talent in 0:11 Baron Corbin prepares for war in one week when he faces Bull Dempsey in a highly anticipated match between two behemoths. Corbin faced no problems tonight as he faced Sean Maluta from the local WXW Wrestling promotion here in Orlando, Florida. Maluta mustered no offence whatsoever as Corbin finished him off immediately with the End of Days.
Following the match, Baron Corbin returns to a vertical base as he raises his arm to the air in a showing of dominance. However, his attention is deterred by Bull Dempsey who is standing in the crowd watching Corbin compete. Baron steps out of the ring and heads over to the guardrail to get closer to Bull. Both men share a staredown as Corbin smirks, feeling confident as Corey Graves sings his praises from the commentary booth. Corbin returns up the ramp as the crowd continues to chant '11' towards Bull Dempsey in the crowd.

| Returning from break, a video package is shown informing us that Kevin Owens is coming to NXT and will make his debut at NXT TakeOver: Evolution. Owens mentioned that Sami Zayn is his best friend, and he was happy when Zayn got the call to NXT, but he informs us that it is now his time to make an impact.
Returning to the ringside area, Sasha Banks makes her way to the ring alongside her fellow BAE, Becky Lynch. The two women enter the ring, wearing Banks' parody of Charlotte's shirt, and remind the Full Sail faithful that they are the best thing going in NXT today. "You know Becky, I don't get why Charlotte is considered the best women on NXT today? Sure, she may be the daughter of a Hall of Famer, but that doesn't translate to actual in ring skill. I taught her everything that she knows. But, I didn't teach her everything I know." revealed Sasha as she dropped the microphone to 'ratchet' chants from the crowd as she prepares for her match.
Sasha Banks (w/ Becky Lynch) def. Mia Yim in 4:26 Working in a tryout match here tonight, independent mainstay Mia Yim impressed many as she was used as Sasha Bank's opponent. Mia actually garnered some momentum during the course of the match, however Sasha remained in control for much of the duration of the match. After an unneeded distraction from Becky Lynch, Sasha put Mia down with a Bank Statement for the victory.
Following her victory, Sasha Banks rose to her feet with Becky Lynch by her side. The two friends celebrate in ring as Sasha motions that the NXT Women's championship will be around her waist in just one short week. Will Sasha become the next Women's champion in NXT or will Charlotte retain her championship at NXT TakeOver: Evolution?

| Returning from break, a video package is recapping Tyson Kidd's appearance on last week's edition of NXT. Tyson Kidd yearned for a shot to regain his job in NXT back after being fired by general manager William Regal. Against his own wishes, William Regal has granted Kidd one last shot to regain his job back. He has to defeat Ryback in one week at NXT TakeOver: Evolution if he wants to get his position back on the NXT roster.
Finn Balor and Hideo Itami def. Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake in 4:01 In only one week, Finn Balor and Hideo Itami have the opportunity to extract revenge on The Ascension. However, before they could reach next week, the team of Balor and Itami faced the rising team of Buddy Murphy and Wesley Blake. Both Murphy and Blake put in an impressive showing here tonight, showing why they could be the future of NXT's tag team division. Unfortunately tonight, Blake fell victim to Balor's awe-inspiring diving double footstomp that led the former New Japan star to gain the victory.
The team of Hideo and Balor meet up in the middle of the ring as they outstretch their hands to both Murphy and Blake. The losers of the match agree on the handshake, as both teams display respect. As Murphy and Blake leave the ring, Balor grabs a microphone from the ringside attendant as a replay is shown of last week's finish to the main event where Hideo Itami, Finn Balor and Sami Zayn defeated Konnor, Viktor and Adrian Neville. "Konnor and Viktor, prepare for war. I'm bringing something you have never seen before." reveals Balor as he leaves the ring alongside Hideo Itami.
Still to come later tonight, Aiden English faces Sin Cara in singles action. Also, Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville go face-to-face just one week before their big match at NXT TakeOver: Evolution.

| Returning from break, Sin Cara and Kalisto made their entrance to the ring in preparation for Sin Cara's match with Aiden English. As Kalisto and Sin Cara entered the ring, the Vaudevillians, consisting of Aiden English and Simon Gotch, ran down to the ring and tackled the Tag Team champions to the ground. English and Gotch lay the boots to the champions, forcing them to clutch their ribs in pain. Simon Gotch threw Kalisto out of the ring with a thud before English connected with the Director's Cut as The Vaudevillians emerge tall over their opponents in one week at NXT TakeOver: Evolution when the NXT Tag Team championships are on the line.
Another video package was shown promoting next week's NXT TakeOver: Evolution. This week's video package focuses on former NXT Women's champion, Paige. Paige dominated the NXT Women's division before becoming the first ever NXT Women's champion and holding the championship for over 300 days. Upon her debut to the WWE main roster earlier this year, Paige has become a two-time WWE Diva's champion. Paige was another step in the evolution of NXT. Which NXT Diva will begin her evolution at NXT TakeOver: Evolution?
Returning to the ring, the theme music of Sami Zayn hit as the number one contender to the NXT championship made his way to the ring to much fanfare from the Full Sail Faithful. The 'Ska Superstar' grabbed a microphone from the ringside attendant as he called out current NXT champion Adrian Neville. As if on cue, Adrian Neville made his way down to the ring with the NXT championship secured firmly around his waist as the crowd showered him in boos. Neville entered the ring with a microphone in hand. "You've got one week Sami. One week before you won't be able to win the big one, yet again. First it was Cesaro, then Tyler Breeze and now it will be Adrian Neville among the names who have beat you. I want you to know that I'll still respect you after the match. But that respect won't mean anything when you leave. Why are you putting your career on the line Sami? You know you're going to lose anyway." revealed Neville to boos from the Full Sail faithful. "You don't understand Adrian, if I can't beat you, I have no career." replied Zayn to a loud mixed reaction from the NXT Universe. "Come on Sami, don't make me end what you've worked so hard for. Don't make me beat you and end you." added Neville to an eruption of heat from the crowd. Neville outstretches his hand, calling for a truce and to drop the match next week. Sami ponders the idea of shaking the hand. "No, no, no. That's where I always go wrong. Always trying to be the good guy. You don't get to end me! I end you and your reign as NXT champion!" yells Zayn after he slaps the taste out of Adrian Neville's mouth! Zayn exits the ring to a loud reaction from the Full Sail faithful as Adrian Neville is left in the ring. In one week, these two men finally meet one on one in the middle of the ring with the NXT championship on the line. Don't miss NXT TakeOver: Evolution next week, exclusively on the WWE Network.

| DECEMBER 5TH, 2014 OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA EPISODE 798
Stay Connected On Social Media Using The Following ↓ | Following the WWE's signature intro video package and the signature WWE Smackdown introduction, we head over to the ring as Michael Cole and Tom Phillips welcome us to another edition of Friday Night Smackdown! The theme of Seth Rollins hits the arena speakers as Mr. Money in the Bank walks down to the ring with his security team, consisting of Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble, by his side. 'The Architect' enters the ring as he is flooded with boos but it only forces him to smile. "You can boo me all you want, but I know that I am better than all of you." starts Rollins as the J&J Security members nod their heads behind him. "I'm out here on behalf of The Authority. Being such the workhorse that I am, I decided not to go on the luxury plane ride that Triple H and Stephanie invited the other members too. That's why you shouldn't boo me, I am out here to entertain you! And because I am the only member of The Authority here tonight, that puts me in charge." revealed Rollins with a sly smile, full of cockiness. "I'm a man that does what's best for business, but I also believe in extreme consequences. I thought it over before I came out here tonight, but there's a few people in the back who need to suffer these extreme consequences. You don't mess with The Authoirty, you got that?" continued Rollins before being interrupted by the theme music of Dolph Ziggler. The current WWE Intercontinental champion making his way down to the ring to much fanfare as he enters the ring and gets right in the face of the man in charge tonight. "Woah, woah, woah! Seth, you're beginning to sound a little too much like 'spam' Triple H. Maybe what's best for business tonight is not you being the man in charge, maybe somebody else should be?" revealed Ziggler as Rollins shook his head as he stood behind J&J Security. "Nobody is as qualified for this job than I am!" yelled Rollins as Ziggler grinned in the ring. "You want extreme consequences, right?" questioned Ziggler while Seth continued to nod his head. "Well, you can't get any more extreme than this!" finished Dolph as the theme of Mick Foley resonates throughout the arena here in Oklahoma City. The former WWE champion makes his way to the ring as the crowd become unglued from their seat. "When I was asked earlier in the week to come to the Slammy awards next week, I decided that maybe it was time to head on a road trip with my family. That's when I decided to come here to Oklahoma City!" said Foley with a smile and pointing his thumb at the conclusion of his cheap pop. "What are you doing here! I'm in charge! I demand you be banished from this stupid city!" yelled Rollins. The crowd booed from the statement as Foley motioned for them to calm down a bit. "Seth, I've been in your position before. Being a young, handsome guy who wanted power in his own hands. That is until Terry Funk showed me my place. Seth, I ask of you one early Christmas gift: being the general manager tonight." Rollins continued to decline his request as Foley and Dolph nodded to each other before Ziggler plants both Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury with back-to-back superkicks! Rollins remains in the ring as he charges at Dolph, but the Intercontinental champion ducks as mister Money In The Bank is caught in the Mandible Claw! Rollins is brought down to the ground as Foley lets go of the hold and holds a thumb up to the crowd. J&J Security rolls The Authority's golden boy out of the ring as Foley declares himself the guest host of tonight's edition of Friday Night Smackdown - and his first order of business is announcing that Seth Rollins will face Dolph Ziggler in tonight's main event, however with 'extreme consequences' in play, it will be an Extreme Rules match!
| #FoleySmackdown #AuthorityFree #BangBang @realmickfoley @HEELZiggler @wwerollins | Commercial Break
|
| Returning from break, a recap is shown highlighting the events that had transpired before the commercials. Seth Rollins is the only member of The Authority here tonight, and had declared himself the host of Smackdown. However, the current Intercontinental champion Dolph Ziggler forcefully took Rollins out of power and gave the spot to, none other than, Mick Foley. And we've learned that the former WWE Commissioner has made our main event tonight between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins an Extreme Rules match. Also just announced, Dean Ambrose will compete against the newly returned Johnny Curtis.
The New Day (w/ Big E) def. The Usos in 7:23 A hot tag team match to kick off tonight's huge episode of Smackdown hosted by Mick Foley. Following their debut just a few weeks ago, The New Day has made it known that they are tired of being held down and will put down anybody who stands in their way. Tonight, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods represented the group as they faced former WWE Tag Team champions Jimmy and Jey Uso. Jimmy and Jey had the support from the crowd but it wouldn't rove enough as they were cut down by the end of the match as Xavier pinned Jey following a huge Shining Wizard!
All three members of The New Day made their way to the middle of the ring as they all nodded their head from their victory. Jimmy re-entered the ring to tend to his fallen twin, however as he was going to help Jey roll out of the ring, Big E spotted him and immediately pounded him with kicks. The New Day's muscle picked the former tag champion up in the air and planted him with a Big Ending. The three New Day members all laughed in the ring as they raised their fists into the air while standing over the fallen Usos brothers.

"Well look who we have here, Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum. I hope you'll watch later tonight, because Nikki, I'm regaining my baby." finished AJ as she skipped of scene. A graphic flashed promoting a triple threat match as AJ Lee takes on both Paige and Tamina Snuka later tonight to determine the number one contender to Nikki Bella's Divas championship.
Curtis Axel def. Justin Gabriel in 3:40 Following this week's edition of Monday Night RAW, Curtis Axel returned to the WWE spotlight as he returned and defeated Tyson Kidd while saving Natalya from a verbal beatdown from her husband. After pulling out from his match at WWE: TLC due to his cat's appointment, Kidd was scheduled to face Axel here tonight, but having to pull out this time citing a knee injury. However, Curtis Axel still got his time in the ring as he faced off against Kidd's close friend Justin Gabriel. Curtis Axel proved dominant once again as he ultimately finished Gabriel off with the Perfect-Plex.

| On Monday Night's edition of RAW, the WWE proudly brings to you the 2014 edition of the Slammy Awards. The very best of the WWE in 2014 will be celebrated as Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, Ric Flair, The New Age Outlaws and the returning Daniel Bryan will all be in attendance to hand out the awards. Don't miss it, Monday night on the USA Network at 8 ET!
Coming back from the break, Titus O'Neil and Heath Slater stand in the middle of the ring as Heath holds a microphone in his hand. "Christmas is coming, Titus! Are you excited as I am? Maybe I'll get the guitar I always wanted, baybay! Anyway, Titus because you're the best partner ever, I've decided to get you a gift for every day until Christmas! I asked Santee Clause to give you the best gift each week. And let's see what he's given you tonight!" reveals Slater as O'Neil looks at the stage awaiting his gift. His expression changes from happy to scared real quickly as Ryback storms his way to the ring with a grin on his face.
Ryback def. Titus O'Neil (w/ Heath Slater) in 1:32 Titus O'Neil did not have this in mind when Heath Slater said he had a gift for him. "The Human Wrecking Ball" came into the match looking to build as much momentum as he could as he challenges for the WWE United States championship in just over a week at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs. Titus O'Neil stood no chance against the much larger Ryback as the coalition member dominated throughout the course of the match. Ryback eventually put Titus out of his misery as he finished him off with the Shell Shoecked for the pinfall victory.
Ryback rose to his feet as he celebrated his win with the crowd as they chanted along with a loud 'USA' chant. The man from Sin City smiling as he flailed his arms in the air. Heath Slater looked shocked as he helped Titus out of the ring. A graphic flashes across the screen that Ryback and Cesaro will team together on RAW as they will face the team of Rusev and Luke Harper on the Slammy Award edition of Monday Night RAW!

Dean Ambrose def. Johnny Curtis by disqualification in 12:18 Johnny Curtis looked like a real star as he brought the fight to Dean Ambrose here tonight. However, the "Lunatic Fringe" didn't fret as he himself looked to gain momentum heading into his tables match against Bray Wyatt at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs. Johnny Curtis and Dean Ambrose both traded offense throughout the match, as Ambrose was closing in on the victory as he was about to hit his Dirty Deeds finishing maneuver. However, interference caused the match to end as Bray Wyatt ran in from the audience and entered the ring as he tackled Ambrose to the ground to cause the disqualification.
The referee called for the bell as Bray Wyatt stood over his foe. Wyatt picked the exhausted Ambrose up off the mat as he kissed him on the forehead before planting him with the Sister Abigail. Wyatt rose to his knees with his arms outstretched as he laughed maniacally. That is until he slowly looked over to the ringside area, focusing his vision on something shiny over there. Wyatt rolls himself out of the ring and grabs a steel chair from the timekeeper's area before returning to the ring. "Even though it'll be a tables match, that steel chair will be legal when Bray Wyatt faces Ambrose at WWE TLC!" proclaimed Tom Phillips. Wyatt called for Ambrose to rise as the 'Lunatic Fringe' grabbed the ropes to pull himself up. As he rises to his feet, Wyatt uses the chair to wedge it in the abdomen of the 'Street Dog'! Ambrose falls to the ground as Wyatt pushes him out of the ring. Dean bounces off the ringside mat as Wyatt follows him with the chair in his hands. Ambrose slowly makes his way to his feet and punches the air but another chair shot forces him to the ground. Wyatt picks the groggy Dean up to his feet and drags him to the ring steps. Wyatt places the chair on Dean's throat and chucks him face first to the steps, as the chair catches the steps and crushes his larynx! 'The Lunatic Fringe' falling to the ground looking for air as Wyatt stands over top of his rival with his arms outstretched as he laughs maniacally as we cut to commercial.

| Returning from break, a recap is shown of what had just transpired just a few moments ago. After a hard fought battle with Johnny Curtis, Dean Ambrose fell victim to an attack from Bray Wyatt. 'The Man of 1000 Truths' utilized a steel chair against the steel steps in an attempt to crush Ambrose's throat. During the commercial break, the WWE medical staff carried 'The Lunatic Fringe' out of the arena into an ambulance with the aid of a stretcher. Things are heating up between Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt.
AJ Lee vs Paige vs Tamina Snuka in a number one contender's triple threat match went to a No-Contest in 4:02 AJ Lee, Paige and Tamina Snuka all had one goal in mind: to crown themselves the number one contender to Nikki Bella's Divas championship. Speaking of the current Divas champion, she sat in at commentary alongside her sister as the pair of twins both openly mocked all three competitors in the ring. AJ Lee and Paige reluctantly joined forces again tonight as they looked to double team AJ's former bodyguard. As they all came to punches in the middle of the ring, the three divas all nodded their head as they left the ring and grabbed Nikki Bella from the commentary desk! The much stronger Tamina hoisted the champion over her head and threw her into the ring as the referee called for a no contest.
Brie Bella ran into the ring to try and save her sister from the three divas in the ring, however she ate a devastating superkick from Tamina! Brie fell to the outside of the ring in pain as AJ Lee, Paige and Tamina Snuka all stood around Nikki. AJ and Paige were quick to judge and proceeded to lay the boots to the Divas champion as Tamina joined in. The two smaller divas picked the champion up and threw her right into a superkick from Snuka. Nikki fell to the ground as Tamina stood over her fallen body. As Paige and AJ Lee were about to exit the ring, Tamina dragged the two former Divas champion into the ring and connected with a superkick to each! Tamina stood in the middle of the ring with a sly smile on her face as she clutched the Divas championship off the ground and raised it high in the air over her head as she looked down upon her created chaos.
Heading backstage, Renee Young stands by her guest for this evening, tonight's special guest host: Mick Foley. Foley enters the shot to another huge pop as he once again thanks the crowd here in Oklahoma City, cheap pop. Renee asks the WWE Hall of Famer on what The Authority may be thinking right now considering he hijacked the show. "I don't know Renee. The Authority should be happy, I used their 'extreme consequences' stipulation. And I'll add to it. In tonight's main event, J&J Security are barred from ringside! Have a nice day!" adds Foley as he smiles and walks off the set, doing the 'Bang Bang' hand gesture.

| Returning from break, a limousine is shown to have arrived during the break. As the limousine stops, the back door opens as Luke Harper, Rusev, Lana, Mark Henry, Kane, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and finally John Cena all step out. "Let's go put an end to this." reveals Triple H as he leads his Authority inside of the arena.
Goldust (w/ Stardust) def. Jack Swagger (w/ Zeb Colter) in 5:09 Jack Swagger had a hard mountain to climb as he squared off against one half of the WWE Tag Team champions. The veteran Goldust took control of the match early on as he used his years of experience to take down the former World Heavyweight champion. However, during the course of the match, Jack Swagger turned things around only to be distracted by the weird Stardust on the outside. As Swagger was distracted, Goldust brought things back to his favor as he finished the 'Real American' off with the Final Cut for the victory.
Cutting backstage, The Authority had made their way into Seth Rollins' locker room as the current Money in the Bank holder is freaking out. "Seth, Seth! Calm down." says Triple H as The Authority's golden boy obliges. The stable walks out of locker room and into the corridor where Adam Rose is partying with the Exotic Express. John Cena and Kane both look to each other before nodding as they both attack the party in the back. Rosebuds go flying everywhere as Adam Rose and The Bunny are left standing still. "Don't be lemons!" yelled Rose who was then met with a huge boot to the face courtesy of Luke Harper. The Bunny tried hopping away from the power hungry group, but ultimately fell to a huge jumping superkick from Rusev! The Authority continues to walk down the hall, hyping Rollins up as he faces Dolph Ziggler in an Extreme Rules match - NEXT!

| Returning from break, The Authority made their way down to the ring infuriated as they all stood on stage as the theme of Seth Rollins cut through as the current holder of the money in the bank briefcase made his way down to the ring followed by The Authority. As Rollins got in the ring, John Cena stood beside him as they waited for Dolph Ziggler. Suddenly, the theme of Dolph Ziggler blares through the arena as the current WWE Intercontinental champion comes out on the ramp with his championship around his waist. As he makes his way out, his fellow coalition members come out too. Randy Orton, Big Show, Cesaro, Ryback all make their way out on the ramp as Ziggler points to all of them and calls for all of them to run down to the ring to bring the fight to The Authority! Both stables enter the ring and the war is on! Dolph Ziggler and John Cena start fighting in one corner, as Seth Rollins and Randy Orton are battling in another. Rusev and Ryback are attacking one another in the third corner while Cesaro and Luke Harper duke it out outside of the squared circle. Mark Henry and Big Show trade blows heading up the ramp as Triple H and Stephanie McMahon watch the chaos from outside the ring. Rusev and Ryback both tumble to the outside of the ring as Kane joins Rusev on his attack. Cesaro and Luke Harper both duke it out, as Cesaro throws the wildman over the guardrail and into the crowd, both of them resuming their brawl out there. Seth Rollins and Randy Orton spill to the outside of the ring as they start brawling using the guardrails as a weapon. Dolph Ziggler and John Cena continue to trade blows inside of the ring as Cena hoists the current WWE Intercontinental champion onto his shoulders but the 'Showoff' hops off and connects with a beautiful dropkick! Triple H looks underneath the ring as he pulls out a ladder and enters the ring with it, but he is turned around and planted with an RKO! Orton rises to his feet, but is soon met with a vicious superkick from Rusev! Ryback reenters the ring and almost takes the United States champion's head off with a meat hook clothesline! Ryback leaves the ring chasing Rusev up the ramp where Big Show and Mark Henry continue to fight. Henry latches onto Big Show in a bear hug as he pushes Show off the stage and goes down with him into the electrical wiring as pyrotechnics explode from the area! All the fans are in awe as the brawl in the ring stops as everybody is looking at what had just transpired off the stage! Cesaro, Randy Orton and Ryback all go and check on Big Show while arguing with Seth Rollins, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Rusev, Luke Harper, Kane and Lana who are all checking on Mark Henry. Medical personnel emerge from backstage as they call for both groups to back away as they look to tend to 'The World's Strongest Man' and 'The World's Largest Athlete'. Both the coalition and The Authority argue while checking on their guys, but they are stopped from coming to blows by a troupe of security who stands in the middle of it all. However, inside the ring, Dolph Ziggler looks out to the entrance ramp trying to see what's going on but John Cena rises to his feet and turns the 'Showoff' around and plants him with an Attitude Adjustment! Ziggler remains motionless on the canvas as Cena picks up the Intercontinental championship and admires it at Smackdown comes to a rocky close.

I'll admit, I like this format. It's different and I happen to like white font on black background. Opening with Seth Rollins is good, I'm loving him as the company's top heel. I do appreciate that you're giving the Intercontinental Title some serious shine, as I expect it to main event TLC, but I'm not sure what the outcome will be. John Cena shouldn't be Intercontinental Champion but he can't really lose his first match after his heel turn. Mick Foley being in charge is great, and should make for a fun night. Hot opening contest as both teams are usually enjoyable. Ah, it seems like you have chosen to go with heel New Day. Not a fan of the fist raise as it's too similar to the Nation of Domination. The Triple Threat number one contender's Divas match makes sense since you've have Tamina dominate lately, and Paige and AJ have had great years. Tyson Kidd pulling out of a match for his cat's appointment is perfect. I'm not sold on a face Curtis Axel. He's duller than paint drying. Also not keen on Fandango turning back into Johnny Curtis. I prefer Titus O'Neil to Ryback, but that match made sense. I really hope that Rusev defeats him at TLC though. Eww, Johnny Curtis competing with Dean Ambrose is not good. I get trying to push new guys but I'm not a fan. Good build for Bray/Dean though. I like the idea of the Divas going after the Champion, but not how it came about. It seemed like they went from fighting to just going outside. Tamina is someone I'd put in the Axel/Curtis mold of you pushing someone different. In this case, I don't mind it. Goldust over Swagger seemed random. Luke Harper taking out the Exotic Express was funny. Whoa, massive brawl to end things. Gotta love chaotic finishes. Overall, a solid episode of Smackdown and I'm looking forward to TLC. While I'm not a fan of the pushes you're giving out or having John Cena join the Authority, at least it's different, which I commend you for.

Seth Rollins now there is a reason why he is the company's top heel, even more over as a heel than Cena and if Rollins is still the Authority's Golden Boy then where does that leave John Cena huh? Cena is supposedly supposed to be the top heel in the company Cena is supposedly to be the #1 guy the franchise player the leader of the Authority but it seems Cena has more or less taken a back seat to Rollins in the Authority but Cena fighting for the WWE Intercontinental Championship yes sure I see why you would do this because it makes the IC Title seem all the more important but Cena doesn't he have to face Brock for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the Rumble? And I can't see Cena losing his first match especially after his heel turn either but I could see if you go with a Ziggler win at TLC because then it further elevates Ziggler as a future main event player
Foley being in charge I can only wonder what will happen
I love this heel version of The New Day, it actually makes them seem all the more relevant booking them as heels but even if The New Day do come off as sort of like The Nation of Domination that is the point, the New Day feel that they are being held back by the system and not to mention because of their skin color they do have a point and I really do hope they are taken to even greater heights as a stable
The Divas Triple Threat going to a No Contest makes sense but at the same time this puts Nikki Bella's WWE Divas Championship reign in serious jeopardy considering she has to defend her title against not 1, not 2 but 3 other divas in the same match, 25 percent chance of retaining her title, this stacks the odds against her which I actually love because then we can see what she is really made out of as champion
A babyface Curtis Axel, I honestly never thought that I would see this because Axel his character seems more heelish to me than babyface, Curtis Axel screams heel but at the same time maybe by pushing him as the son of Mr. Perfect the grandson of Larry the Ax Hennig, 3rd generation superstar, he can actually become a bigger star than what he was before
Fandango turning back into Johnny Curtis, not a fan of that either but hey to each his own right?
Ryback beating Titus O'Neil comes as no surprise really considering the role Ryback has been on but also because if anyone can dethrone Rusev if anyone could be a serious threat to Rusev's WWE United States Championship reign it is definitely The Big Guy it is definitely Ryback but Rusev has virtually been unstoppable beating every American and or non-American put in front of him and ever since becoming WWE United States Champion Rusev has just gotten better and better
Dean Ambrose beating Johnny Curtis doesn't surprise me either considering Ambrose needs all the momentum he's going to get especially if he is going to face Bray Wyatt at TLC
But Luke Harper taking out The Exotic Express I was literally rolling on the floor dying of laughter
And as for the way Smackdown ended literally in chaos but with John Cena standing tall, could that be a sign of things to come at TLC?

Slammy Awards I sure hope Brock Lesnar wins Superstar of the Year and there is no one more deserving, the only man in WWE history who ended The Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak doing what no man in history has been able to do and not to mention he ended up becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion in one of the most lopsided championship matches in WWE history beating John Cena, Lesnar has had quite the dominating year, not even you can argue with this

WWE Friday Night SmackDown: Friday 5th December 2014...Please stick to this layout. Like I've said before, consistency is very important when it comes to diaries. I think it helps people grow familiar with reading - as opposed to if one changed a format literally every other show. I kind of like the WWE.com website layout that this has, too. Seth Rollins and J&J Security kicking off the show really isn't anything new, as you continue to push that Rollins is the number three heel. Just be careful with how you push Rollins as the number three heel in the company - in reality Rollins has come across as very overexposed with how often he appears during one show. Dolph Ziggler's interruption was nice, and I feel that a feud between the Intercontinental Champion and the Money in the Bank possessor would be very good. This was one example. Meh, I really didn't like that you had Mick Foley force his way into being the guest host of SmackDown in the Authority's absence. Unless it has a long story arc, this move lacks continuity. Why would we need a guest host? I liked the interaction with Rollins and Foley, though. Let me guess, you had the New Day debut as heels, didn't you. A fair win against the Usos - it seemed like a fun match I guess. However, I think that this could have been a good feud rather than a throwaway television match. Unfortunately, no pairing is safe from being thrown away on free television in the modern era of five shows a week. I would like to see more definition behind Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods' new found personas, though. Have you explained why Brie and Nikki Bella are best friends again yet? WWE neglected to tell us that tidbit...When did Tamina Snuka make a return? Seems a bit random - I'd say that Naomi or Emma is closer in contention to the Divas Championship than Tamina. Curtis Axel defeating Justin Gabriel was fine for what it was. I guess you've abandoned Gabriel's heel run. Not that it was very visible on television anyway (because Gabriel's been on television literally once or twice). What's the story behind Axel facing...Johnny Curtis? So much to be explained here. Why is Fandango no longer Fandango? Why are these two heels feuding? I feel if this match was presented as the first match of the night on the WWE TLC Kickoff show, it would bore fans senseless. Titus O'Neil and Heath Slater's promo was fun I guess. Topical, with Christmas shenanigans on the horizon. Ryback crushing Titus is fine I guess. I would like to see Titus get a solid heel singles run in at some point soon. He's such a natural. Why is Cesaro teaming with Ryback? I guess Ryback's feuding with Rusev now eh? With the lack of momentum in the past for Johnny Curtis/Fandango - including his lack of explanation for dropping the dancing gimmick - this match with Dean Ambose would have made Ambrose look silly. With Ambrose getting set up for a huge grudge match at Tables, Ladders and Chairs in nine nights, it shouldn't have taken Dean twelve minutes to beat a guy with a new gimmick. As much of a fun match as I think these two would have, this one went way too long and weakened Ambrose. Ironically it made Curtis look strong...but he's not meant to be the focus of the segment! Bray Wyatt's interference afterwards gave us the TLC hype - but Ambrose needs to recover from tonight if he wants to look credible against Wyatt at TLC. I'd say prioritise when you're booking: you needed a first-hour main event here, and you put the focus of getting the wrong guy over: the wrong guy that isn't in a big match at the next big show. Ambrose ideally should have won decisively against Curtis, if not by disqualification in a shorter stretch of time. Another screwy finish? I'm slightly baffled by AJ Lee and Paige suddenly becoming friends again and going after the Bella Twins - mind you Tamina looks so out of place in this angle. Are you preparing a fatal four-way match or something? The Authority...here on SmackDown? I'll give it to you for making SmackDown look better than normal, but this is a big motive to not have this angle in particular take place on RAW. Goldust defeating Jack Swagger screamed WWE Main Event to me. Or Superstars. What was the motive here? It seemed very strange to be positioned as the last match of the show with zero reason for it to happen. Wait, you had Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler set up for an Extreme Rules match? Man. I would have avoided that stip so soon. You need to be more logical with how you book, definitely. Luckily, you were smart enough to not even have the match take place - for a big brawl to start. Much like every week of RAW between Hell in a Cell and Survivor Series. Overall, this show was a bit of a mess if I'm being brutally honest. I think you need to organise your booking so that it doesn't seem so randomised and thrown into a B-TV show like SmackDown. When you reach TLC, think about your plans for the fallout of that pay-per-view, and the build up to the Royal Rumble, and eventually WrestleMania 31. Plan ahead and things should look clearer: because right now I can see a lot of disorganisation and I think you can deliver better than this. I don't mean to be evil with my feedback, by the way. I'm just giving you the honest feedback to help you improve. It's nothing personal. Keep at it and I think this could be a decent diary with a bit more logic and organisation.

Alright, Smackdown. A good opening promo from Rollins and J&J Security, being interrupted by Dolph Ziggler and eventually Mick Foley to set up what should be a good main event. The New Day beating The Usos was fine, I like how you're giving The New Day some sort of character as heels. Meh, AJ will win later. That's clear. Curtis Axel beating Justin Gabriel, okay. Not sure about pushing Axel, but, I'm not going to bash it too hard until I see what comes of it. Back to back squashes don't make me too excited about a show. But, at least the Slater-Gator thing was a bit entertaining with Ryback ruling. Johnny Curtis and Dean Ambrose went way too long, especially for a disqualification finish. I get the idea of giving Curtis some time and a small push, but this didn't seem like the right spot to do it. Ambrose should've been able to pulverize him or the DQ should've come quicker. Anyway, the post-match stuff was good with Bray Wyatt and set up for the upcoming TLC match well. Heh, the divas go to a no contest in the triple threat, eh? Certainly makes me believe it will be a fatal four way coming between the women. CHAOS, MAGGLE! CHAOS! Goldust beating Jack Swagger was fine, but I don't really get why. Smackdown, I guess. Wow, Rosebuds got the crap beat out of them. Kind of seemed like a pointless segment. Finally, a huge chaotic ending to Smackdown to promote TLC on Sunday. I would have, however, gone with the match at least getting started and then the chaos. At least then, we'd have a winner or something. Anyway, a decent show that could have been stronger. We'll see what happens at TLC, hopefully things can get going from there.

First off, layout is good, but the black background can be sore on some eyes. It isn't a huge issue with me, though. A solid opening segment with Seth Rollins, Dolph Zigler and....Mick Foley? A bit odd to see him appear on SmackDown. Not too sure either about him getting physical and putting the Mandible Claw on Rollins. Regardless, Rollins vs. Ziggler in an Extreme Rules match should be a stellar main event. The New Day defeating The Usos made for a decent opening contest. I do like that Kofi, Big E and Xavier are heels. I personally think they should have been heels in reality the whole time. AJ Lee, Paige and Tamina Snuka, whose involvement I'm not sold on, should be a great Triple Threat match. Curtis Axel's face push seems sudden, but I'll give it a chance. He can be something noteworthy if you allow his personality from Rybaxel's off-air segment to show on television. Man, Santa Claus must hate Titus O'Neil. That's what he gets for turning on Darren Young! Ryback getting the quick victory was expected. However, I think Ryback's momentum will take a hit at TLC against Rusev. Dean Ambrose and Johnny Curtis having a long, competitive match is rather odd to me. I like Curtis, don't get me wrong, but him dropping the Fandango character and being given a push seems random. It didn't really do any favors for Ambrose either. Bray Wyatt's afterwards was fine, though, and I see you kept the throat-crushing spot in place. I am looking forward to seeing how you handle Wyatt and Ambrose's match at TLC. Man of 1000 Truths? Bray Wyatt wants to be Dean Malenko so badly. I did like the twist in the Triple Threat number one contenders match. The Bellas being beaten down made for a great angle, and to an extent, so did Tamina taking out AJ and Paige. It's just the suddenness of Tamina's push that throws it off for me. Same thing with Johnny Curtis and Curtis Axel. I would have preferred for you to wait it out a bit with their rises to relevance. That's a sh*tload of people in one limousine, especially with behemoths like Mark Henry and Rusev. Poor Lana and Stephanie probably had no breathing room. Goldust defeating Jack Swagger is a decision that I'm actually in favor of, though it seemed too random. The Authority attacking The Rosebuds, lolokay. Again, RADNOM, but it was entertaining up until Rusev superkicked The Bunny. The Bunny is Life, Goddammit! Lastly, the closing segment was an absolute mess, but that's not a bad thing. I LOVE these kind of segments and very much enjoyed this one. My only gripe is that something like this should have been saved for the go-home RAW, not an episode of SmackDown with nine days remaining until TLC. Besides that, though, it was a fantastic brawl. Overall, I did like this show, but there are a few things to work on. Mainly the randomness of some decisions. I do hope for this to have longevity and not to get too unrealistic.

The layout seems like a flipped version of Ryan's to me, and the white on black is a bit of a pain to read, just something to note.
Mick Foley is a shoe-in for a real-life guest host, but only on SmackDown? I don't think they'd dedicate such a legend just to SmackDown. He'd have to appear on Raw and do SmackDown as a secondary job for that week, like Bryan did. Rollins and Ziggler seems realistic enough for a main event. I'm a fan of the New Day, but not so sure about them being heels here. A nice win over the Usos, but their gimmick on TV was that they were representing everyone who wants to break out and do something big, I think as heels they just become another "We're under-appreciated black guys" team. I'm a fan of Curtis Axel, but he does seem to have come out of nowhere to be simply added to the TLC pre-show, and against Johnny Curtis? What happened to Fandango? Ryback over Titus O'Neil is a must, but not sure where his alliance with Cesaro has come from either. Again, got to ask where Johnny Curtis has come from without the Fandango gimmick. I think Ambrose/Wyatt is an incredible feud so you're right to continue running with that for sure. Goldust over Jack Swagger is just another match in my book. Really don't like John Cena as a heel. It's way out of the box, too much for my liking. Why would he ever side with a group that stands for the opposite that he stood for? When he joined the Nexus he was contractually forced, but the way you've done this it seems like his own choice and he's enjoying it. Not like him at all. The Authority standing tall over Ziggler is a decent way to close, but just really don't like Cena as a heel. It wouldn't happen and it may be too risky, leaving you needing him back face pretty soon down the line.
