Ooh, first Raw of 2015. Let's hope it's as big as the final one of 2014. I missed Smackdown, so I was unaware of Seth Rollins/Roman Reigns being added to the Royal Rumble. Odd opening promo though. Seth comes out and just announced the Reigns/Big Show match. I would have assumed the Authority in full would have opened their first Raw back. I guess I missed Sheamus' return as well. Good dominant win for him and I hope he has something good to do at WrestleMania. Mark Henry feuding with him is good, but for the short term only. I'm very intrigued by the addition of Titus O'Neil to the Miz and Damien Mizdow stuff. I know that you think kind of highly of him, which is good. Good to see Kane taking actual losses on TV. He's been protected too much in real life. Solid win for Dolph Ziggler too. YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT RENEE YOUNG IS BEAUTIFUL! RVD vs. Bray Wyatt is interesting. Dean Ambrose and Cesaro always deliver, so wise choice there. Another solid win for the New Day. Big E vs. Titus eventually should be fun. Goldust and Stardust split? Only if you bring back Cody Rhodes. Basic John Cena/Brock Lesnar build. Nothing special with no Brock. Not sure how I feel about this booking choice. On one hand, Bray beating RVD is a good win for him, but on the other hand, RVD should get some wins under his belt before he starts putting over the future stars. When are the Ascension finally gonna debut? Summer Rae <3. Nikki Bella win was fine. Fun Triple H segment, and I enjoyed the Sting graphic. Their WrestleMania match should be fun. Maybe this should have closed the show though. Lastly, obvious win for Roman Reigns. I assume he beats Seth at the Rumble, but I hope Seth stays strong. Overall, a solid Monday Night Raw and 2015 looks promising.

WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 12th January 2015…Just a note, if it’s ONE former person from WCW, that would make Sting an alumnus, not an alumni (plural). Seen that a few times now, it’s worth noting here. Seth Rollins starting off the show makes no surprise to me, as we have one more match added to the Royal Rumble card so it seems with Roman Reigns and Rollins facing off. Pretty straight-forward promo to kick off RAW – it would be nice to see you deviate from the norm and open RAW with a match at some point, to be honest. It’s been a while. Roman Reigns having to face the Big Show tonight is fine, given you have transitioned from giving people Reigns vs Show in a boring match, into a big-time bout like Rollins against Reigns (the same angle that should have taken place back in the Fall). The opening contest between Sheamus and Fandango wasn’t that strong to be honest, but Sheamus with the win was obvious. It’s a shame Fandango will always be stuck in this role as a roleplayer. He could be so much more. Mark Henry then coming to brawl with Sheamus…wasn’t that interesting. This is a feud that has taken place many times over the last few years, and it’s not one I’d like to see again frankly. Triple H talking about Sting was pretty fun, I suppose. Interaction between Hunter and Kane was a decent throwback, too. Damien Mizdow and…Titus O’Neil? When did this become a thing? It seems very thrown together to me. I don’t know, at least O’Neil is getting more screen-time. I was surprised to see them defeat the Usos, but I think it’s a matter of time before Jimmy and Jey regain the WWE Tag Team Championships. I want to know where Titus fits in when Miz and Mizdow inevitably split off at last. It can’t take too long now. Dolph Ziggler defeating Kane was fine, it gave Ziggler a good non-title win (yay) to look good as an Intercontinental Champion, but what can Ziggler do beyond Royal Rumble? Always an interesting concept to me. Hopefully a singles match would benefit him well. Ah, Rob Van Dam is back long-term so it seems. Like I said, as long as a good plan is laid out for him and Van Dam isn’t just thrown out there to do next to nothing but lose…Dean Ambrose defeating Cesaro is fine, it’s just a shame about Cesaro, really. I liked Ambrose also taking Kidd out of the ring, too. A nice ‘sign of things to come’ perhaps. Thank God SmackDown gets a refresher and moves over to Thursdays again for the first time in ten years. The New Day going through Goldust and Stardust was fine, no problem with this one as New Day continues to gain momentum. John Cena’s promo on Brock Lesnar was good, I am kind of surprised this didn’t main event the show, though. Paul Heyman’s exchange was fair, and overall this sets up the Royal Rumble bout for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. No problems here. Bray Wyatt defeating Rob Van Dam was a decent bout, and obviously Wyatt won it to set up the upcoming Royal Rumble match. I don’t see Wyatt winning, and why should he – but I see him as a close runner-up at least. I’ve got to wonder when you plan on having the Ascension debut. Hopefully after the Royal Rumble, but hopefully Konnor and Viktor aren’t brought in at an awkward time during the road to WrestleMania 31, at the same time. Personally I’d have waited until after WrestleMania in the spring. Nikki Bella defeating Summer Rae is fine, I’m happy to see Summer on RAW as she’s been on the undercard B-shows for some time. It got the Divas Champion some needed momentum, and I see her continuing suit at the Rumble against Natalya. I do think you need to calm down on the Triple H and Sting face offs, as it’s only early yet. If you think about it, Sting only appeared twice between Survivor Series and the Royal Rumble. These hints that Sting is returning is getting too much too quickly – I think what would have worked instead is if Triple H tried to call out Sting, and Sting was nowhere to be seen. Now that would be toying with the Authority alternatively. And lastly, quite an underwhelming main event with Roman Reigns defeating the Big Show. I think that this shouldn’t have main evented, and that the Cena and Heyman exchange would have been more suited. Overall, this was a hype-heavy edition of RAW, and I’m looking forward to the Royal Rumble – it’s a shame the road to the Rumble is taking so long.

Here we go with Raw. Seth Rollins opening things up was fine and of course he got away from Roman Reigns. Now, we get Reigns versus Show. Either we get a screwjob, or Roman looks really, really strong. Meh match to start things off with Sheamus versus Fandango, obvious win for Sheamus. Wouldn't get people too hot for the contest, but it set things up for the Sheamus and Mark Henry confrontation. Triple H is an angry bastard and it looks like we will have Kane versus Dolph Ziggler, alright. Damien Mizdow and Titus O'Neil. What a team. Solid win for them, I suppose, although it seems really weird to pair them up. Haha. Of course Dolph Ziggler was going to go over Kane because we all know Kane doesn't win matches. You keep calling Renee Young beautiful. We get it. We'd all bang her. Dean Ambrose beating Cesaro. Poor Cesaro. Good victory for Ambrose though, helping build him towards the Rumble although he won't win. Hey! The New Day actually got a win over Gold and Stardust! Looks like Goldy and Starry are on the verge of splitting. Damn it, Cena! You just hit the Attitude Adjustment on Heyman! Watch out for a lawsuit, jack. A good promo between the two though, I anticipate Brock will be here soon to extract revenge. Bray Wyatt beating Rob Van Dam was obviously the best choice here, gives Bray what he needs. Hurry up Ascension, rise aleady. Nikki Bella was of course going to beat Summer Rae. I mean, come on. Next up, The Authority is in the ring and Triple H is pissed at Sting of course. Sweet graphic to appear to scare The Authority off but I really hope when he shows up the next time, he gets rocked. Finally, a solid main event to conclude things tonight with the Royal Rumble favorite Roman Reigns beating Big Show. He might also beat Seth at the Rumble! BELEEEEEEE! DAT! A solid show that did the job it needed to do. Lacked some Rusev (and Lana ass), though.

Just like with all the sims, I have to catch up. Curious to see how you're doing things since I'm taking a stab at 2015 a little differently.
I love your layout in terms of how you use the graphics, and the good medium length that everything is. For a second I forgot that Sheamus even existed lol. Hard for me to get excited about Reigns/Show but I understand. Glad you're (seemingly) putting Titus with Miz/Mizdow. I like Titus a lot and feel like he is misused by not even being used at all. Kane loses......shocker. Forgot about RVD as well, nice pickup with the Rumble coming.
I hope you find something suitable for Ambrose to do as he has been misused by WWE. Maybe even a Rumble contender? I like Cena's trip down memory lane, and interesting you're sticking with the 1-on-1 approach. Cena/Heyman segment was realistic, and I could've seen that as the ending to Raw. Not a huge fan of RVD losing by pin right after his return, but it'll go forgotten I'm sure. I hope you can do something with The Ascension because so far their run on Raw has been garbage. Curious to see what you do with Sting as I have a few ideas for myself. Reigns/Show felt meh as a main event, but that's not your fault; it's WWE's fault for planting it into my head since they've done it like 500 times in real life.
Overall, good show. So far from when I've been back, you have my favorite layout in terms of how it's presented, and the graphics (but not overdoing it). Keep it up.

BATON ROUGE, La. (January 15th, 2015) — It has been ten long years since SmackDown was brought to the WWE Universe on a Thursday night. Tonight, the blue brand returns to its roots where it belongs, and with the Royal Rumble only one week away, what could possibly happen on this special return broadcast? This past Monday night on Raw saw Triple H receive a very clear message from the Vigilante, Sting, and so one can only assume that the Authority will certainly be on edge as tonight's SmackDown gets underway. The winner of the 2015 Royal Rumble Match could very well be in our midst as the WWE rolls on through Baton Rouge. The former 15-time World Champion and current number one contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship made his way to the ring to kick off this return spectacular. The all-new commentary team of Michael Cole, Byron Saxton and Jerry 'The King' Lawler welcomed us to the re-debut of SmackDown on Thursday nights. "It feels great to be back on Thursday nights!" Cena exclaimed, a feeling we can all agree on. John Cena reminded us all how close he is to receiving his final shot at Brock Lesnar and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Just ten days remain — potentially the longest ten days of John Cena's entire career as he waits to go into battle against arguable the most dominant Champion in recent history. The WWE Universe laugh as Cena sent us back to this past Monday night on Raw where he lifted the infamous Paul Heyman onto his shoulders and drove him into the canvas with an Attitude Adjustment. The WWE Universe were less pleased, however, to witness the arrival of Paul Heyman himself, complete with a neck brace and a croaky voice. The Beast's advocate took it upon himself to warn John Cena that he would suffer the most horrific beating of his life at the Royal Rumble and won't even be able to leave under his own power. In his nature of never backing down, Cena welcomed the threat with open arms, but Heyman seemed positive that come January 25th, John Cena won't be leaving at all, let alone as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Will John Cena take this warning on board? Perhaps he should, going into such a monstrous clash with the most dangerous man on the roster. United States Champion Rusev def. Chris Jericho (Non-title) — The sheer dominance of Rusev is incomparable to anything in recent memory. The United States Champion has mowed his way through opponent after opponent and even in the face of a former World Champion, Chris Jericho, the Bulgarian Brute did not stumble. The veteran Y2J thought he had the skills to put away this monster of a man, but after connecting with nothing but knees after a Lionsault attempt, Jericho found himself crippled by the Accolade and forced to submit to its wrath. But the Soviet Machine didn't stop there as he continued to wrench Jericho's spine further and further back, the scene becoming painful to watch. But it was the arrival of Ryback that stopped the punishment, brawling with the United States Champion and eventually knocking him from the ring with a big clothesline. The Big Guy got down on one knee to tend to the fallen Y2J as Rusev retreated with Lana by his side. When these two clash in one week, it may very well be a rumble of its own. Jey Uso def. Tyson Kidd and Goldust — Just moments after the announcement of the Royal Rumble Kickoff Show, three of the superstars from that match competed in a Triple Threat Match to try and gain some momentum going into the big #1 Contendership Match for the WWE Tag Team Championships. With their partners by ringside, the three men put on quite the show, but ultimately it was Jey Uso who connected with an Uso Splash on Goldust that sealed the deal. The Uso brothers rejoiced in victory as their two opposing teams left in disappointment. Could we be looking at the next WWE Tag Team Champions in The Usos? The 2015 Royal Rumble Match continues to grow in numbers and up next on Thursday Night SmackDown, we wee informed that there are two new entrants into this year's 30-man free-for-all — Chris Jericho and Fandango! Byron Saxton made it clear that he thought Fandango could dance his way to victory, but Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler seemed to think otherwise — much like the rest of the WWE Universe. Speaking of Fandango, there he stood with Renee Young, spouting off about how this is the year of Fandango whether the WWE Universe want to believe it or not. Stating his claim to a WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match at WrestleMania, he told the world that they would witness the "world's greatest tango on the world's grandest stage". Dean Ambrose def. Luke Harper — It's been a long time coming in the eyes of the Lunatic Fringe for him to claim his spot at the top. At the Royal Rumble he will have his opportunity to do that, but in the meantime, guys like former Intercontinental Champion, Luke Harper are equally as eager. Ambrose's determination (and his lack of care for his opponents) allowed him to conquer his larger opponent and finish him off with the Dirty Deeds, gaining some necessary momentum heading onto the big match. Flailing like a rabid animal, Ambrose stared blankly into the sea of the WWE Universe, the look of determination in his eye. If anyone could possibly walk out of Philadelphia with the victory, it could very well be the Lunatic Fringe. Since the messages from Sting began, the Authority have been shaken up. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon stood in their office, surrounded by their allies who will soon be competing in tonight's Eight-Man Tag Team main event. The Game's "team talk" comprised of many things with one clear message — do not lose. Seth Rollins promised that they would leave SmackDown victorious no matter what. Rob Van Dam def. Justin Gabriel — In a showcase of the high-flyers, former World Champion, Rob Van Dam took to the skies against the South African, Justin Gabriel. A battle of athleticism and sharp kicks entertained the WWE Universe for a good while until RVD was able to take Gabriel down for long enough to connect with a Rolling Thunder and follow it up immediately with a Five-Star Frog Splash. Sportsmanship reigned supreme as Rob Van Dam extended a hand to his fallen adversary. Justin Gabriel accepted it and sprung back to his feet, showing his respect for a man that effectively paves the way for his style of wrestling. Rob Van Dam — along with 29 others enters the Royal Rumble Match in just ten days! The New Day def. WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz and Damien Mizdow (New Champions) — Positivity was in the air as the New Day stepped into the ring once more against the current WWE Tag Team Champions, but this time, the titles were on the line. Infuriated by the positive reaction Damien Mizdow was receiving, Miz insisted that he start the match, informing Titus O'Neil by ringside to make sure Mizdow stays where he is. However, Miz's arrogance may have cost him as when the time came for Miz to escape the clutches of Big E, he found himself partnerless as Damien Mizdow (following the orders he was given) raised his hands and shouted "You got get 'em, Miz!". His face red with rage, Miz turned around and was lifted up by Big E before being dropped with the Midnight Hour by the big man and Kofi Kingston. Kingston hooked the leg and before Mizdow realized he must stop obeying Miz's orders, the New Day were the new WWE Tag Team Champions. The stunt-double grabbed his head in disbelief, realizing how silly he had been. But the outcome was positive for the New Day who have claimed their first WWE Tag Team Championships as a group. Titus O'Neill entered the ring to help Miz to his feet as he began ranting and raving at Damien Mizdow. Miz and O'Neill left, scowling at Mizdow, but he didn't take it to heart as he continued to raise his hands to a big reaction from the Baton Rouge crowd. Bray Wyatt def. Erick Rowan — The Eater of World's has demonstrated his desire to win this year's Royal Rumble Match over the past few weeks, being impressive at every opportunity. The former Wyatt Family follower, Erick Rowan, looked to knock off his former messiah in hopes of paving his own way towards a WrestleMania main event match. But it seems the teacher didn't teach the student everything he knows as Wyatt still had a few tricks up his sleeve, and defeated Rowan with the Sister Abigail. It's looking more and more like Bray Wyatt's time. Each time he decimates the competition he comes closer and closer to being the man who will go on to WrestleMania and compete for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. But can he conquer 29 other men on January 25th when the time comes? Bray Wyatt seems to think so as he dropped to his knees and declared "My time has arrived!" Renee Young stood by with not one, not two, not even three — but four WWE superstars who will be in tonight's main event. John Cena was alongside Roman Reigns, Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus, ready for their Eight-Man Tag Team Match up next on SmackDown's return to Thursday nights. The question is put to the three men in the Royal Rumble Match, "Who do you believe will truly win the Royal Rumble?". Of course, this question was never going to have an easy answer, and as expected, Reigns, Ziggler and Sheamus all believed they would be victorious in ten days. Tension brewed between the soon-to-be partners before John Cena stepped in and regrouped his allies, reminding them that they have a bigger concern right here tonight in the Authority. The four men held back their views and instead united to face the common enemy. Seth Rollins, Big Show, Kane and Mark Henry def. John Cena, Roman Reigns, Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus — As if things couldn't get any bigger, they did with this monumental mass of humanity competing in an Eight-Man Tag Team Match just ten days before seven of them enter the Royal Rumble Match and one of them challenges for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. With each man having their own issues with the opposing team, things broke down quickly, but order was restored and the Authority gained control, isolating Dolph Ziggler. However, escaping their clutches, Ziggler would tag in Roman Reigns who exploded into the match and immediately took out the opposing team. Reigns was more pumped than ever and delivered a thunderous Spear to the Corporate Monster, Kane which shook the foundations of the ring. But he failed to realize that the legal man was none other than Seth Rollins who slithered into the ring and connected with a Curb Stomp on Reigns, immediately following his Spear on Kane. Rollins quickly hooked the leg while the others were busy and captured the victory for the Authority. Boos filled the arena, and rightfully so as the Authority walked away with a win over four popular superstars. Not only that, but Seth Rollins has evened the score and holds a pinfall victory over Roman Reigns, just like Reigns did over Rollins a couple of weeks ago on Raw. John Cena looked at what is left of his team and looks down in disappointment, having lost to the Authority. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon emerged on the stage to rub salt in the wound, smirking and applauding as John Cena and his allies looked on.

Your graphics are always soooo sweet! Solid opening segment involving Cena and Heyman. I like how you've brought both guys over for the "re-debut" of SmackDown as it's rare to see Cena on SmackDown so it made it feel quite special to see him there. Rusev/Jericho sounded like a good bout. Obviously, Rusev going over was the right call and Ryback coming to Jericho's aid afterwards was nice. Decent 3-way match. Would like to see Cesaro/Kidd win the kick-off show match but then heels vs. heels doesn't sound too exciting does it. Fine win for Ambrose over Harper. RVd/Gabriel sounded like a fun match. I'd actually like to see you push Gabriel in the future. Wow, The New Day winning the tag titles is awesome. It made, again, the "re-debut of SmackDown" feel special. Now I can definitely see Cesaro and Kidd winning the kick-off show match haha! #LesnarReturns sweeeet! Huge main event. I'm surprised to see Reigns take the fall, however, I suppose it kind of makes sense now given the post-matchd description saying that both Reigns and Rollins are even now.

Here we go, Smackdown is moving back to Thursdays! John Cena kicking things off is excellent. He may not have spent a lot of time there but that is where he became the face of the company. Paul Heyman with some strong words in return and I really hope that at the Royal Rumble, this is the final match between him and Brock. I'm sure it probably will be. Ooh, look, some real competition for Rusev! Him beating Chris Jericho is a very big rub for him and giving a high profile match like that on the Thursday Night Smackdown re-debut is great for him. Ryback making the save was fine, progressing their feud. Rusev crush at Rumble. Ooh, a number one contenders match on the kickoff show. That'll be interesting, actually giving prestiege to the belts. I see The Usos winning with the other two teams being heel and not that ready in my eyes... Jey getting the win in the triple threat was fine, I'll expect a different result on Raw. in' Fandango. Dean Ambrose versus Luke Harper, entertaining as hell psychologically speaking. Ambrose getting the win was for the best, in my eyes, as he actually is a more legitimate threat to the Rumble even though we all know he won't win. Rollins promising they will win no matter what? Puh-lease, Sethykins. Another former Smackdown staple type guy, Rob Van Dam beating Justin Gabriel. Weird to see him win, isn't it? Next up, wow. I'm really surprised to see The New Day win the WWE Tag Team Championships, but it is certainly something different. Freebird rule? I'm curious as to what you make come of this, I really would like to see more character out of them. Mizdow, quit fudging up before you become a personal assistant. Bray Wyatt beating Erick Rowan. No shock. Shame for Rowan being such a boring character, to me anyway. Alright, main event time! Big win for The Authority that I'm somewhat surprised to see, but am fine with. Especially with Rollins getting one on Reigns, makes him look good. A very nice return to Thursday edition of Smackdown, although it seemed way too long for a two hour show.

- Cena opening up Smackdown makes sense considering he has a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at the Royal Rumble pay per view against Brock Lesnar and then seeing WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman come out to interrupt Cena makes sense considering Cena gave Heyman an AA, and you know Brock he is going to want to pay Cena back for that so you can bet Brock he will be at RAW this Monday to address Cena
- 8 Man Tag Main Event with Cena, WWE Intercontinental Champion Ziggler, Reigns and Sheamus to take on the team of Kane, Henry, Show and Rollins, I can't wait for this main event, should be a good one
- Rusev the WWE United States Champion beating Jericho I mean this was a great match-up all be it that Rusev beat Jericho a first ballot future WWE Hall of Famer but also a former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion this is a huge feather in Rusev's cap especially with Rusev going over Jericho but then cue Ryback with the save for Jericho just as Rusev is about to punish Jericho more, you can bet Rusev and Ryback's match for the WWE United States Championship at the Royal Rumble pay per view will be a collision course think Godzilla vs King Kong
- Triple Threat #1 Contender's Tag Team Match, The Usos vs Gold & Stardust vs Cesaro & Kidd, winners face the WWE Tag Team Champions either Miz & Mizdow or The New Day, I already know who I am picking to win this match
- Jey Uso beating Goldust and Tyson Kidd, just a preview of good things yet to come I mean think about what this win does for The Usos as far as momentum goes for their match at the Royal Rumble?
- Ambrose is definitely ready as far as the Royal Rumble Match goes, yet another win this time beating Luke Harper which is no easy task but Ambrose managed to get the job done and after this how could Ambrose not be considered a favorite as far as the Royal Rumble Match is concerned
- Glad Jericho and Fandango are going to be entrants in the Royal Rumble Match, just add even more star power into the Royal Rumble Match
- New WWE Tag Team Champions, The New Day does it, they are the new WWE Tag Team Champions beating Miz & Mizdow to become WWE Tag Team Champions, Big E. and Kofi as WWE Tag Team Champions this is great I mean I still can't believe it but at the same time this just adds to the tension between Miz and Mizdow and with Titus O'Neil as their bodyguard I mean it is only a matter of time before Miz and Titus O'Neil beat the holy hell out of Mizdow I mean it is inevitable now
- RVD beating Gabriel, yet again not surprising
- It seems Bray Wyatt is so consumed by winning the Royal Rumble Match that honestly he has to be considered the favorite the wild card in the whole equation as far as the other 29 superstars go, I mean he has been on such a roll and it continues with him beating his former Wyatt Family brother Erick Rowan I mean who can really stop Bray Wyatt at this point?
- Lesnar and Cena will be face to face on RAW this Monday and honestly I can see all hell breaking loose
- But in the main event seeing the heels go over the faces to end Smackdown believe it or not was the right call and with Reigns taking the fall it makes sense
10 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE RUMBLE PPV and honestly I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

Again, your graphics are sick. Rusev/Ryback is a good match and I'm still surprised WWE didn't do it at the Rumble themselves. That'd be cool if you had Ambrose win the Rumble but I'm not expectig it. Surprised to see The New Day win the tag belts, nonetheless on the Smackdown before the Rumble. I wonder if you want Miz/Mizdow to break up at the Rumble. Wyatt/Rowan is interesting. Main event felt a little big for Smackdown, but it's cool. Solid show, looking forward to the Rumble.

16 superstars are in the Royal Rumble Match so far, 14 more superstars to be added and honestly who could I see being added into the Royal Rumble Match to fill those 14 spots there's The Miz, Cesaro, Kidd, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Kofi, Big E, Swagger, Titus O'Neil, Mizdow, Goldust, Stardust, and then you could easily fill 2 more spots with surprise entrants which my surprise entrants would be a returning Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton to round out the 30 superstars for the Royal Rumble Match
But as for Sting, I wonder if we end up getting another Sting appearance at the Royal Rumble pay per view with Sting showing up or a Sting sighting like perhaps The Authority finding a black crow in their office and getting so scared and freaked out with Sting sending them yet another message without even being there and the crow just caws with Sting's music just playing in the background but there would obviously be no sign of him

DALLAS (January 19th, 2015) — This is it. The final week of WWE programming before the roster competes for a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match at WrestleMania. Thirty men will enter, but only one will leave with the chance of a lifetime. But the Royal Rumble Match itself isn't the only thing on the mind of the WWE Universe because one question that the combatants taking part will want to know is this — who will they be facing come WrestleMania on March 29th, 2015? Will it be the Beast, Brock Lesnar or will it be John Cena? These two bitter rivals will clash one final time at the Royal Rumble this Sunday for the coveted title, and Paul Heyman has already vowed that not only will Lesnar leave as Champion, but Cena will be unable to leave under his own power. Will the spirit of the Cenation finally be broken this Sunday? Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler def. Big Show (Title retained) — Raw kicked things off with a bang tonight as the prestigious Intercontinental strap was defended in a David and Goliath battle. After scoring a victory over Dolph Ziggler a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown in a non-title clash, the World's Largest Athlete looked to claim the Championship he has held only once before by taking it from one of the Authority's biggest problems. Despite his clear size advantage, Big Show found himself struggling to keep up with the Show-Off, but eventually grounded his much faster opponent. As the big man climbed to the second rope to go for a Vader Bomb-style move, Ziggler popped to his feet and leaped to the turnbuckle before dragging Big Show down and hitting a thunderous ZigZag that shook the arena. The Intercontinental Champion hooked the trunk-like legs of the Big Show and scored a three count, earning his stripes and once again sticking it to the Authority. The giant had been slayed, Ziggler scoring a straight-up victory and retaining his beloved Intercontinental Championship, and just this close to the Royal Rumble, he's looking very promising as a potential candidate to go to WrestleMania. The Big Show regained his senses and looked on in anger, knowing he had been defeated by a man much smaller. Luke Harper def. R-Truth — His loss to Dean Ambrose on SmackDown set Luke Harper back a step heading into the 30-man spectacular, but he soon regained his composure with an impressive display against former United States Champion, R-Truth. With the swing of a Discus Clothesline, Harper was right back in control of his momentum, scoring a victory over the The Truth and letting the WWE Universe know he was still very much alive. The former Wyatt Family brethren didn't stop there, picking R-Truth up and hitting him with a second consecutive Discus Clothesline, sending a message to the 29 other men taking part in this year's Royal Rumble Match. This big brute will be a tough one to get over those ropes this Sunday. Perhaps the Big Show should have stayed away from Triple H just a little longer following his earlier loss. The Game was not pleased at all and felt embarrassed that Dolph Ziggler had got one over on them once again. Stephanie McMahon turned to Seth Rollins who was also in the room and told him that he better not let them down tonight when he competes in a Pick Your Poison Match along with Roman Reigns. "It doesn't matter who Reigns has chosen for me, I'll beat them just like I'll beat him at the Rumble" explains Seth, but Triple H wasn't so sure, squaring up with the Money in the Bank holder and telling him that they can't afford to look bad. Rollins left the room as Big Show stands silently, still sulking over his loss. Tonight — Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns compete in Pick Your Poison matches — who will be their opponents? Sheamus def. Mark Henry — Sheamus' intentions were clear upon his return — get his revenge on Mark Henry and win the Royal Rumble. Tonight he had the opportunity to do one of those two things and many would say he succeeded. The World's Strongest Man's dominant roll came to a screeching halt as he met the only Irish-born World Champion in history in the ring for the first time since the Celtic Warrior made his comeback to the WWE. The Brogue Kick struck again and laid Henry out, allowing Sheamus to score his biggest returning victory yet and edging closer to winning his second Royal Rumble Match. With the WWE Universe cheering him on, the Great White celebrated his victory as Mark Henry left in frustration. Having conquered his World's Strongest rival, Sheamus looks better than ever and states his claim to this Sunday's extravaganza, planning to head to WrestleMania once again. Renee Young was standing by with Roman Reigns who told her that tonight, he isn't going to be intimidated by not knowing who his opponent will be. "No matter who it is, I'm only going to do what I always do, and that's cock this fist and make it Reign, Renee". Renee smirked at Reigns' clever pun but he was all business and was ready to go out and take on whatever challenge Seth Rollins had thrown at him. Roman Reigns def. Bray Wyatt (via Disqualification; Pick Your Poison Match) — While he may be one of the slimiest members of the WWE roster, you cannot deny Seth Rollins' genius as he chose the man who has arguably the most momentum heading into this Sunday's Royal Rumble — the dastardly, Bray Wyatt. But Roman Reigns has his own block of momentum which he used to overcome the mind games and the trauma and send Bray Wyatt back to whatever Hell he came from with a thunderous Spear. But before he could score the pinfall victory, he was hounded by Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury who attacked and caused the match to end in a disqualification. As Noble and Mercury continued to mug Reigns of his victory, the WWE Universe looked on in confusion and awe as Bray Wyatt came to Roman Reigns' aid — or so it seemed. Wyatt threw J&J Security from the ring which allowed Reigns to slowly get back to his feet, only to be grabbed and kissed on the forehead before being planted with the Sister Abigail, courtesy of Bray Wyatt himself. In a strange turn of events, Bray Wyatt stood tall and looked even stronger as he embarks on his journey to his "destiny". Meanwhile, Seth Rollins looked on from a television monitor backstage, a smug grin across his face as Reigns lay motionless on the mat. Former World Champion, Chris Jericho stepped into his presenting role once more to host a special pre-Royal Rumble edition of The Highlight Reel. This wasn't just any old Highlight Reel though as this one was set to be a tension-filled intensity fest, featuring the United States Champion, Rusev and his challenger, Ryback. With both of these monster in the ring, it was already clear that this one wasn't going to be pretty. Making an attempt to keep the calm, Chris Jericho advised both men to take a seat, but neither man wanted to let their guard down in the presence of the other. Ryback took the microphone from Y2J and told Rusev plain and simple — he is going to end Rusev's undefeated streak at the Royal Rumble, take the United States Championship and save this country from his lame drivel once and for all. Lana stepped forward to retaliate, but Rusev stopped her and instead approached Ryback, getting nose-to-nose with the man he meets one-on-one for the first time in just six days. Stepping between the two, Jericho tells them both that there will be no violence on this show — unless it's from him! Cheers exploded from the stands as Chris Jericho hit a Codebreaker on Rusev and this was immediately followed up by a Meat Hook Clothesline from Ryback which sent the Soviet Machine falling through the ropes and out of the ring. "USA!" was the resounding chant heard across Dallas as Rusev was once again forced into retreat by Ryback (with a little help from Chris Jericho). Y2J raised Ryback's hand into the air and motioned around his mid-section, making it clear who he is backing to the become the new United States Champion this Sunday. Will Jericho's prediction come true? Rob Van Dam and WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day def. Adam Rose, The Miz, Damien Mizdow and Titus O'Neill — The New Day toppled the Entourage on SmackDown to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions. Infuriated by their loss, The Miz ordered Mizdow into the ring to compete first, the complete opposite of SmackDown where he essentially banished him from competition which ultimately cost him the match. Mizdow got the crowd behind him and went up against Xavier Woods. Mizdow found himself outnumbered quickly and the WWE Universe threw boos Miz's way as Mizdow reached towards his corner, only to see Miz, O'Neill and Adam Rose step away from the apron, refusing a tag, clearly trying to teach Mizdow a lesson. However, Rob Van Dam saw what was going on and refused to take advantage of the situation, catching The Miz off guard and throwing Mizdow into his corner, forcing the tag. Miz only had a moment to look shocked before he was pulled in and in the end, fell victim to Kofi Kingston's Trouble In Paradise. Rob Van Dam and The New Day celebrated their victory in style, the WWE Universe loving every second. The Miz had been defeated once again, and exactly like SmackDown, he has nobody to blame but himself. Throwing his arms and legs around like a child, Miz tantrums on the canvas, Titus O'Neill rushing to his side to calm him down. Mizdow couldn't help but laugh slightly and even Adam Rose cracked a smile as this shambles of a match for The Miz came to a close. Stardust def. Jimmy Uso and Cesaro — This past Thursday on SmackDown say Jey Uso score a big victory over both Tyson Kidd and Goldust in somewhat of a preview to the Royal Rumble Kickoff where three teams will collide for a chance to compete for the WWE Tag Team Championships in the future. The cosmic powers must have aligned for Stardust tonight as he somehow claimed the victory by ducking underneath a superkick from Jimmy Uso and connecting with the Dark Matter for the victory. Goldust entered the ring and congratulated his brother in his victory, a complete contrast to recent weeks where he has become disappointed in him. Cesaro and Tyson Kidd are angry with their loss as The Usos look on in disappointment. WHich of these teams will leave the Royal Rumble as the #1 Contenders? Byron Saxton went backstage during Raw in hopes of getting a quick word from the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar. However, he wasn't so lucky, arriving at the Beast's door only to be greeted by Paul Heyman. When Saxton asked if he could get an interview with Heyman's client, he was told to turn around and walk away while he still could. "My client is in no mood for a petty interview right now, let alone with somebody as pathetic as you" explained Heyman, Saxton stepping back slightly as Heyman came closer to him. With that said, Heyman re-entered the room and slammed the door in poor Byron's face as he sent the broadcast back to Michael Cole, John 'Bradshaw' Layfield and Booker T. Natalya and Naomi def. The Bella Twins — Back and forth go the Divas as the Royal Rumble is just around the corner. The challenger, Natalya and her close friend, Naomi picked up a huge victory over the Divas Champion, Nikki Bella and her sister, Brie. A Sharpshooter to Brie Bella led to a submission victory. Natalya's title shot is just six days away, and if she has already knocked off the title holder, what's to say she can't do it again on January 25th? The Authority took the spotlight once again tonight as we are taken to their office. Triple H and Stephanie were still talking about Dolph Ziggler's victory and how Roman Reigns got off lightly earlier on when Bray Wyatt got involved in their plans. The Billion Dollar Princess tells her husband that she has the perfect plan for the two "rebels" this Thursday on SmackDown. Triple H smirked at her, seemingly thinking alike. What devious plots are going through the Authority's minds? Dean Ambrose def. Seth Rollins (Pick Your Poison Match) — We may have thought Seth Rollins' choice of opponent for Roman Reigns was genius, but Reigns may have taken the cake with his choice of Rollins arch-rival, Dean Ambrose. The Lunatic Fringe was ready to tear into anything that moved, but seeing his old friend turned enemy before him sent him into a whole different zone. Unleashing his crazy anger, Ambrose wailed away on Rollins who had no choice but to leave the ring and seek refuge in the timekeeper's area. But even those walls could not stop Ambrose getting to the man who betrayed him back in June of last year. Somehow, Rollins managed to gain control of the match, but the tables were turned when Roman Reigns made a shock appearance and delivered a Double Spear to Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury on the outside. Rollins found himself distracted by the attack and was rolled up by Ambrose who picked up the victory off the distraction. Cheers filled the arena as Dean Ambrose left the ring in celebration, flailing around and pulling at his hair. Seth Rollins couldn't believe his ears as Ambrose was announced the winner. With a smirk on his face, Reigns left alongside Ambrose, patting him on the back and raising his hand, Rollins looking on in pure rage. When these two collide at the Royal Rumble this Sunday, there's going to be a fight you will not want to miss. The time had arrived. The time a lot of people had been waiting for — the arrival of Brock Lesnar. But first, John Cena wanted to come to the ring and greet the WWE World Heavyweight Champion himself. The former 15-time World Champion made it clear that he would not be intimidated by the Beast and he was out there to stand face-to-face with the man he meets at the Royal Rumble this Sunday. It wasn't long before the man himself came out to the ring — Paul Heyman in tow — red with anger. Lesnar stepped through the ropes and immediately the two collided heads, rubbing noses with scrunched up faces, both men looking to show their intensity to the other. The advocate of the Beast told John Cena that he is making the biggest mistake of his career by stepping into the ring one more time with Brock Lesnar. "Do you not remember the last two times, John? Have you forgotten that you are lucky to be alive after the last two times you stepped into the ring with Brock Lesnar?". John Cena is not the kind of man to back down from a challenge, and he reminded Paul Heyman of that fact. "Brock Lesnar is a monster — a machine. There's no doubt about that. Is he dangerous? Yes. Am I knowingly walking into danger? Yes. Is there a possibility that I might not walk out? Yes" Cena said, admitting that he is putting himself at risk. But the leader of the Cenation refuses to step down in the face of danger — in the face of fear. John Cena stated that this Sunday at the Royal Rumble, Paul Heyman might be right, he might not be able to leave under his own power — "But if I'm leaving in the back of an ambulance... you can be damn sure I'm taking Brock Lesnar with me". The WWE Universe showed their appreciation for Cena's strength and determination, but his personal traits won't help him against the inhuman monster that is Brock Lesnar. "Your spirit and will is just great, John. But not only does Brock Lesnar break bones, he breaks spirits too. People who step into the ring with my client leave it with a broken soul, and some men never return" Paul Heyman warned. "He might be able to break people's spirits and take a piece of them away, but all I have to say to that is — if you want some..." Cena raises the microphone into the air as the WWE Universe finished off the phrase with "Come get some!". John Cena dropped the microphone and lunged at the WWE World Heavyweight Champion! Chaos ensued as fists were flying everywhere, these two bitter rivals tearing chunks out of each other just six days before their official encounter. After just under a minute, the entire WWE roster flooded the arena floor and attempted to break up the brawl that was quickly growing out of hand. Dolph Ziggler, Ryback, Erick Rowan and Rob Van Dam among others held back Cena while Big Show, Rusev, Luke Harper and Kane with several other superstars held back Brock Lesnar. Suddenly, something amidst the crowd sparked a separate brawl and soon after all hell broke loose as the entire roster found themselves in an all-out brawl, perhaps a sign of things to come this Sunday at the Royal Rumble! Monday Night Raw came to a catastrophic close just days before one man will be rewarded with a main event match at WrestleMania for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Don't miss it!

- Dolph Ziggler just manages to stick it to The Authority yet again, he beats Authority muscle Big Show to retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship, I mean it is like whatever The Authority manages to throw at Ziggler he always manages to overcome it or he always seems to throw it right back in their face by beating whoever is placed in front of him but Dolph he has the Royal Rumble Match to look forward to this Sunday but knowing The Authority I can see them making Ziggler the #1 Entrant in the Royal Rumble Match as a way to stick it to Ziggler or to make sure that he doesn't win this Sunday
- Luke Harper beating R-Truth comes as no surprise I mean when is the last time Truth even won a match on RAW or Smackdown? I mean let's be honest but at the same time Harper as far as the Royal Rumble Match is concerned now he is a real wild card in the sense that there is so much mystery behind him in the sense that with him being a wild card no one really knows what he is capable of doing in there which really works in his favor
- It seems Big Show sooner or later he is going to be discarded or kicked out or excommunicated from The Authority I mean it is only a matter of time but as for Rollins he and Reigns being in Pick Your Poison Matches on RAW I can't wait to see who Reigns picked as an opponent for Rollins and I can't wait to see who Rollins picked as an opponent for Reigns
- Sheamus beating Henry, it seems Sheamus has been on a roll ever since he has returned in your diary and with it being the Royal Rumble Match this Sunday Sheamus has got to not only be a marked man coming into the Royal Rumble Match seeing as how Sheamus has won it before he can win it again and Sheamus he has headlined WrestleMania and he has won a Rumble before back in 2012 so if he wins the Rumble this Sunday he will win his second Rumble and at this point Sheamus has got to be considered one of the heavy favorites to win it all
- Reigns' opponent for Pick Your Poison, Rollins chooses Bray Wyatt for Roman Reigns, excellent choice by Rollins to choose Wyatt, and no doubt Reigns was softened up in this match even though he did win by DQ, he was attacked right after the match by J & J Security and Bray Wyatt so I wonder what kind of condition will Reigns be in come this Sunday come Royal Rumble since Reigns not only has a match against Rollins at Royal Rumble but he also has the Royal Rumble Match which he is in, so I wonder if Roman will be 100%
- Highlight Reel with Jericho hosting and his guests being Ryback and the WWE United States Champion Rusev w/Lana, I figured that the Highlight Reel would end in chaos and I was right, Jericho giving Rusev a Codebreaker and Ryback then hitting Rusev with a Meat Hook Clothesline to cap it all off, and Ryback motioning for the WWE United States Championship? Can Ryback get the job done this Sunday and become the new WWE United States Champion ending Rusev's undefeated streak? Or will Rusev's streak stay in tact with him retaining his title? Not to mention all 3 of these men are in the Royal Rumble Match too on top of it and no doubt Jericho, Ryback and Rusev are all favorites in the Royal Rumble Match
- 8 Man Tag Team action with RVD teaming up with all 3 members of The New Day including the WWE Tag Team Champions Big E. and Kofi and then Xavier and them taking on the former WWE Tag Team Champions Miz & Mizdow, Miz's bodyguard Titus O'Neil and Adam Rose, the faces going over definitely the right call and I will tell you why? For the simple reason that it just continues to build towards Miz and Mizdow's eventual split which at this point is inevitable and especially after losing their titles and now them losing matches yes Miz is bound to turn on Mizdow and judging from Miz's history he has turned on every tag team partner he has ever had case in point John Morrison, R-Truth, etc. so Miz is bound to turn on Sandow sooner or later
- Stardust beating Cesaro and Jimmy Uso in a Triple Threat, this gives the Dust Brothers the Cosmic Brothers an advantage going into the Triple Threat #1 Contender's Tag Team Match this Sunday at Royal Rumble and honestly at this point I already know who I am picking to face the new WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day and that team being Cesaro & Kidd, I see Cesaro and Kidd getting the job done this Sunday
- Brock is not in a good mood, WELL HERE COMES THE PAIN!!! AND HONESTLY I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE JOHN CENA AT ALL ESPECIALLY WHEN BROCK GETS DONE WITH HIM!!!!!!
- Divas Tag Team action, Natalya and Naomi beating the Bella Twins doesn't surprise me considering the momentum Natalya has had lately and especially considering Natalya she hasn't been WWE Divas Champion in so long the last time I think she was ever champion was like 2010 or 2011 I am not even sure so it has been a very long time coming and honestly at this point I can see her beating Nikki this Sunday especially with Brie if she turns on Nikki which I can definitely see happening and why? Because we never got a real satisfactory ending as far as the sister vs sister rivalry between Brie and Nikki because it was like Brie turned heel and then after that it was all swept under the rug so I can see Brie turning on Nikki to restart the rivalry and honestly I feel like it is just bound to happen
- Knowing The Authority for Triple H and Stephanie, I can see them making Dolph Ziggler the #1 Entrant in the Royal Rumble Match and Roman Reigns ends up being the #2 Entrant with them having to start out the Rumble, what better way to stack the deck against Reigns and Ziggler for Sunday? I mean it makes perfect sense think about it because if either man is going to win the Rumble they are going to have to be in there for over an hour especially if they end up starting out as #1 and #2 I mean what better way for The Authority to stick it to Ziggler and especially to Reigns?
- Seth Rollins loses his Pick Your Poison match, his opponent being none other than his former Shield teammate his former Shield brethren Dean Ambrose his now bitter rival and these 2 had quite the rivalry in 2014 and to see it refueled here on RAW with Ambrose beating Rollins, I am sure that it must have been a feather in the cap for Ambrose to beat Rollins and it gives Ambrose even more momentum going into the Royal Rumble Match this Sunday I mean and on the roll Ambrose has been on, he has to be the favorite
- And the last face to face between Lesnar and Cena before their final encounter this Sunday at the Royal Rumble PPV for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, their last confrontation, this will be the final time these 2 men ever face each other and honestly judging from their last few matches these 2 have quite the rivalry and honestly their rivalry is bound to end this Sunday one way or the other but to see them end off RAW in a brawl that had to be broken up with a lot of superstars getting into the fray and then it all ending in the locker room clearing out and everyone going at it, it makes sense considering this Sunday is the Royal Rumble pay per view and considering this Sunday is the Royal Rumble Match, 30 superstars only one winner and the winner headlines WrestleMania 31 in the main event for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship facing either Lesnar or Cena

Just something I thought I would tell you when you are writing your Royal Rumble pay per view up when you post up your Royal Rumble pay per view, here is hoping that when you post up your Royal Rumble PPV that on the night of the PPV we get pre-recorded segments with some of the 30 participants in the Royal Rumble Match as they go on about how they will win the Royal Rumble Match to headline Mania but also when you do post up your Royal Rumble PPV that when you are posting up your Royal Rumble Match, you actually list the amount of time each superstar is in the Royal Rumble Match like for example (10:00) and just what entry number they come in at as an entrant because by doing this it just adds to the excitement of the PPV
But as for the Royal Rumble Match, 20 superstars are now in the Royal Rumble Match, 10 more superstars to round out the 30 superstars and honestly at this point the 10 superstars who I see filling those spots will be Daniel Bryan (surprise return), Randy Orton (surprise return), Tyson Kidd, Antonio Cesaro, Goldust, Stardust, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Rey Mysterio (surprise return), and imagine if this were to happen Jeff Hardy or Kurt Angle as a surprise entrant but in all likelihood here it probably won't happen so to fill the final spot it will up being Sin Cara in my opinion to round out the 30 superstars
But as for Sting I can see him making another PPV appearance this time being at the Royal Rumble this Sunday
BUT THERE IS 6 MORE DAYS 6 NIGHTS AWAY FROM ROYAL RUMBLE AND I FOR ONE CAN'T WAIT!!!
Then after Smackdown this Thursday then we will only be 3 nights away from Royal Rumble
But I will give my predictions as far as each match goes:
Triple Threat #1 Contender's Tag Team Match (Kick-Off Show)- Cesaro & Kidd vs The Usos vs Gold & Stardust (Winners and New #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships Cesaro & Kidd)
WWE Divas Championship- Nikki Bella (c) w/Brie Bella vs Natalya w/Naomi (Winner: New WWE Divas Champion Natalya)
WWE United States Championship- Rusev (c) w/Lana vs Ryback (Winner: Still WWE United States Champion Rusev via KO, Ryback doesn't tap out to the Accolade but passes out because of the pain)
Reigns vs Rollins- Winner: Rollins with interference from J & J helping Rollins out but then after the match Reigns getting beat down by not only Rollins & Noble/Mercury but Big Show gets in on it too
Royal Rumble Match- Winner: Ziggler or Ambrose or a returning Randy Orton

WWE Thursday Night SmackDown: Thursday 15th January 2015…Alright, it’s the first Thursday Night SmackDown in nine and a half years, so I’m expecting that you’re going to replenish SmackDown as a show. I’d like to see it utilized as a more equal show to RAW – of course though, that will be difficult when you have RAW going three hours every week. Also, did you decide to drop Main Event? I don’t see it posted here. I guess you went with the Santino Marella Royal Rumble flashback show or something. A decent opening promo with John Cena kicking it off, further building to his Royal Rumble challenge with Brock Lesnar. The Paul Heyman inclusion was wise, giving someone for Cena to talk to. Well written – I think that it was well done, but very norm for opening segments. I’d love for you to open a show with a match at some point, just to mix up the format and have a promo on second, or something. A solid choice for an opening contest, and probably a good enough match to pop a rating on the new day timeslot – but I do think you wasted an opportunity here: I think if you wanted to, you could have had Chris Jericho face Rusev at WWE Fast Lane or a pay-per-view down the road and it be a good storyline. But hey, that’s the oversaturation of WWE these days. Rusev needed the win, but I do think an out could have been done to keep Jericho strong as well. More Ryback build, and I do think that Ryback and Rusev could have a strong match – they proved this on the SmackDown before the Rumble. Should be a good match, but it’s clear that Rusev will retain the United States Championship. Hmm, the three-way tag team bout for the Royal Rumble Kickoff show sounds appealing, I definitely see the Usos winning – unless you switch the WWE Tag Team Championships over to the New Day – which I kind of think you will. Jey Uso beating Tyson Kidd and Goldust was fine, as we begin the basic singular build for this three-way tag team bout. Chris Jericho and Fandango entering the Rumble is fine, although neither man is going to win. General jigsaw pieces additions to the multi-man man. I’m interested in seeing how you format the Royal Rumble match though, given that the entrant-per-entrant style doesn’t fit the WWE.com-esque reporting format you write shows in. Dean Ambrose defeating Luke Harper was fine, a decent match here I’d imagine. Another pair which I think would be good to feud in a few months – perhaps if Ambrose becomes Intercontinental Champion or something. It strengthened Ambrose as a strong face to win the Rumble – although I don’t think he will to be honest. Rob Van Dam with a win against Justin Gabriel was fine – is Gabriel playing a heel here? He was switching face and heel every week near the end of his run. Is he going to be sticking around perhaps? A win that reminded us how RVD is agile. He’s definitely past the point of being a Royal Rumble winner though, more of a star power enhancement guy for younger talent. I think a feud with RVD and Rusev would be cool in the Spring. And there’s the title switch! Sigh. I don’t know, I’m not happy with the idea of the New Day already winning the WWE Tag Team Championships. It speeds up their long-term motive of becoming the top tag team in the WWE – plus, they aren’t over at this stage, I don’t think. Maybe start thinking for a long-term plan for Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods for after they lose the title – they need that long-term planning. You’ll also need to do a lot more character work with them I think. Meanwhile, the Miz and Damien Mizdow get to begin their dissension on their own. I don’t know though, I understand you wanted something to boost the first Thursday edition of SmackDown but it didn’t really need this and could have waited until the Royal Rumble next weekend. Also, where does Titus O’Neil fit into this!? Strange situations all round. Bray Wyatt defeating Erick Rowan was fine, but it’s a shame that this was put on with no build. Wyatt’s promo enforces him as a threat to the Royal Rumble match, but again – I don’t see it. And finally, star-studded main event with Seth Rollins, the Big Show, Kane and Mark Henry of the Authority defeating John Cena, Roman Reigns, Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus in a great eight-man tag bout. It was good to pop a rating for the first Thursday edition of SmackDown and that’s fine. Overall, this was a strong show and I didn’t mind most of the decisions – but I am quite opposed to the title change.
WWE Monday Night RAW: Monday 19th January 2015…Oh wow, you time travelled and followed my advice! A good defense of the Intercontinental Championship by Dolph Ziggler against the Big Show, it really strengthened Ziggler, I thought. I do think that as long as Ziggler doesn’t get hurt, 2015 could be Dolph’s year for certain. Next, Luke Harper beating R-Truth enhanced Harper and repaired him after a clean loss to Dean Ambrose on SmackDown – it may have been too filler though, frankly. A promo for Harper in the style that he’s been doing recently may have been better for him and more intriguing for the viewers at home. Another strong face for the Royal Rumble match – but I don’t think he’s winning the Royal Rumble match either. The Big Show and Triple H’s exchange was fun, and I like the premise of Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns having to compete in Pick Your Poison matches tonight. I think it’s a promotional tactic that hasn’t been utilized in a while and would serve well here. Sheamus defeating Mark Henry was fine, I’m hoping this ends their last feud instalment. Roman Reigns’ promo sounded horribly cliché. Oh well! I dug Roman and Bray Wyatt going to an out-finish – Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble of J&J Security interfering helped keep Wyatt strong but also make Roman look strong. Strange twist with Wyatt standing tall though, to say the least. That was quite weird. Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel was good, and it actually humanized Rusev, which isn’t that bad a thing I don’t think. It did make the faces look weak having two of them take out Rusev: especially when it’s Chris Jericho and Ryback. But nonetheless, Rusev will probably get his heat back at the Royal Rumble by retaining the United States Championship. Rob Van Dam and the New Day defeating Adam Rose, Titus O’Neil, the Miz and Damien Mizdow made for a satisfactory eight-man tag team bout – but after the eight-man tag main event last Thursday on SmackDown, it probably ruined the image of that prior match. Just a note: too many of the similar match types can damage their importance, particularly when it’s eight-man tags. More overness for the New Day, which isn’t bad but I think the heels could have done with getting some heat back perhaps. Miz embarrassing himself in front of his teammates was fun, it didn’t really fit Adam Rose’s character to crack up laughing, though. Stardust gets a win now! So Tyson Kidd and Cesaro could be dark horses to win in the Royal Rumble Kickoff show. I wonder if you’re planning on having Goldust and Stardust potentially disbanding in the near future, though. I don’t think it’s WrestleMania 31 worthy personally, but it could be a fun spring angle to get Cody Rhodes/Stardust over. Paul Heyman sidetracking a Brock Lesnar interview attempt was amusing. Natalya and Naomi defeating the Bella Twins was fine, and I’m glad that Natalya beat Brie Bella instead of Nikki. So Natalya has defeated the two Bellas and now looks strong – but I don’t think she’s walking out of the Royal Rumble as Divas Champion. Wow, so Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins meet again: I guess it’s not a problem, but after their last encounter at Hell in a Cell I think it was fine there. But on the other hand, Ambrose got a win over Rollins for a change! Good to see Ambrose not being so Teflon rebounding from losses with wacky bumps and high spots. And finally, a solid last promo between Brock Lesnar and John Cena. It was a great enough promo, and I’m anticipating how you book their WWE World Heavyweight Championship match on Sunday. Overall, this was a pretty good go-home show and it didn’t rely on a Legends Reunion to be that. The Royal Rumble card looks good, and you’ve done the best you can with the long, long build to the Royal Rumble show.

Look at me, I'm Elliot. I post shows and think they're good but guess what? I'VE SEEN THOSE FINGER PAINTINGS YOU BRING HOME AND THEY SUCK! Ahem. [Tie adjustment]. Hot way to kick things off here on Raw, not that I'm opposed to switching things up once in a while with matches starting shows off but six days ahead of the Royal Rumble it feels weird. Obviously Ziggler was going to retain over Big Show. Good to give the title some showing here. Luke Harper beating R-Truth, again, expected result. Neither one of them will win on Sunday, but, Harper is obviously more valuable to be making look like a threat. Seth should pick, like, six guys for Reigns. Moving on. Sheamus beating Mark Henry was good, as it brings full circle Sheamus' return and mini-program with Henry, helping him look like somewhat of a threat at the Rumble. Again, I wouldn't have minded if you had held off on him returning then instead. Oh well. Moving on. He gonn' cock this fist and make it 'Reign', Renee. Yeah. Rain all over your face, bitch. Bray Wyatt beating his PYP opponent was interesting, would be a strange one on one match don't ya think? Anyway, J&J stopping the contest was fair. It kept Wyatt from looking bad with a defeat. Alright, the Highlight Reel! Jericho hitting the Codebreaker on Rusev, allowing Ryback to lay him out with the Meat Hook, makes me curious as to if in the near future (perhaps WrestleMania?) Jericho feuds with Rusev? Maybe not. They did just face on Smackdown. I dunno. We'll see. Maybe you just go down the Cena versus Rusev line. I dunno. We'll see. Next up. RVD and The New Day team up to beat Rose, Miz, Mizdow and O'Neil in a clusterfudge of a match. Adam Rose abandoned Miz! That son of a bitch! Weird match. Stardust beating Jimmy Uso and Cesaro was fine, made up for last week on Smackdown. I'm sure we'll see a Tyson Kidd win on Thursday's show. This show seems really long again. Meh, divas. Fine promotion for the title match on Sunday. A perfect plan against Reigns and Ziggler, eh? SEVENTEEN ON TWO HANDICAP MATCH PLAYA! Dean Ambrose being the PYP for Seth Rollins is perfect. Him getting the win is pretty big for him, especially when he didn't beat Seth on multiple occassions months ago. Reigns' involvement worked well and the PYP did a solid job of getting things geared up for Royal Rumble. PYP. Finally, a crazy conclusion to Raw that not only gave us something for the Unified WWE World Heavyweight Championship as well as the Royal Rumble match. A good go-home show to Rumble, even with Smackdown left. But who cares? Well, maybe I do. Maybe.

I want to commend you again for the layout. It's realistic as . Makes me miss our split. You, Ryan and myself...we're a bunch of quitters. Anyway, Dolph Ziggler retaining the Intercontinental Championship against Big Show was a great choice to open. Show has been booked well lately and I love anytime that Dolph gets to strut his stuff. Give him a good Rumble run and an IC Title match at WrestleMania and I'll be happy. Them graphics though <3. Good to see Luke Harper picking up a win. R-Truth is kind of useless now and I love Harper. Stunned that we haven't had a promo. Pick Your Poison is always fun. Strong win for Sheamus heading into the Royal Rumble. Picking Bray Wyatt as Roman Reigns' poison was wise since he's been on such a roll lately. The disqualification finish was probably the safest bet. Ooh, the Highlight Reel is usually good fun. Basic stuff and I dug the Codebreaker/Meat Hook combo. The New Day as Tag Team Champions is something I missed, but is damn fun. I like the change as it's something different from real life. The heel team in this eight man tag was odd though. I love the Kickoff Show Number One Contender's match as all three teams are damn good. The tag team division looks nice with Usos/Kidd & Cesaro/Dust Brothers/Miz & Mizdow/New Day and the Ascension coming up. I like. Still surprised to see Natalya getting the Divas Title shot. I wonder what your plans on for the division. Dean Ambrose being the poison was genius. His feud with Seth Rollins never ended and he is Roman's "brother." Nice to see him finally win one against Seth too. Solid close to the show, but something about John Cena/Brock Lesnar doesn't interest me the way it used to. Another good show and I look forward to Smackdown and the Rumble.

AUSTIN, Texas (January 22nd, 2015) — Three days remain until 30 of the WWE's greatest superstars will enter the ring in Philadelphia and compete for the once in a lifetime chance to go to the main event of WrestleMania and challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The final stop before the 2015 Royal Rumble is tonight's edition of Thursday Night SmackDown, and with everything to play for, the roster is itching to gain some last minute momentum going into this once a year extravaganza. This past Monday's Raw ended in chaos — the entire roster brawling for their chance to shine going into this Sunday's event, but tonight order will be restored as per the Authority. But two individuals have ruffled Triple H's feathers and on Raw he revealed that he has the perfect plan for them tonight. What awaits Roman Reigns and Dolph Ziggler tonight on SmackDown? Speaking of the devils, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon showed their faces to kick off tonight's edition of SmackDown, grins plastered across both of their faces, clearly scheming with every step. The WWE Universe were not responding positively in the slightest, but it did not phase the power couple. The events of Raw fresh in his mind, Triple H declared that both Roman Reigns and Dolph Ziggler had been thorns in the Authority's side for long enough and has decided that the best way to ensure that their agenda is cut off at the head is to not put them against members of the Authority — but put them against each other! Stephanie applauded her husband's genius and explained that both Ziggler and Reigns would square off on tonight's SmackDown, but that was not all. There was an added stipulation — whoever loses the match between the two rebels will enter the Royal Rumble Match this Sunday at the dreaded #1 position. Of course the WWE Universe were less than pleased with the decision as it meant that at least one of their favorites would have to scratch and claw their way to the end for any chance of a victory. The Authority know exactly what they're doing, but the question is, can they succeed in driving a wedge between two superstars who would otherwise be allies? Only time would tell. Ryback def. Luke Harper (via Disqualification) — The #1 contender for the United States CHampionship looked to gain a head of steam going into this Sunday's clash with the unpinned Rusev. Going toe-to-toe with a man like Luke Harper is no easy task, but Ryback somehow managed to get on the upper hand. That was until the Soviet Machine himself emerged and delivered a superkick to the Big Guy, rendering the match over via a disqualification. The beat down continued even after the bell with Luke Harper joining forces with the already unstoppable Russian, but it was the arrival of none other than Erick Rowan that evened the playing field and allowed Ryback some breathing room to fight off his attackers. It was clear that Rowan had some unfinished business with his former Wyatt Family partner and it played into their hands tonight. But the result may be very different come this Sunday. One chorus of boos later, Seth Rollins appeared backstage alongside his Authority cohorts. He revealed that tonight he goes up against the Celtic Warrior, Sheamus in one-on-one action. But he wanted to talk to the Corporate Monster, Kane about something playing on his mind. Mainly a man by the name of Dean Ambrose. With the Lunatic Fringe's victory over Rollins on Raw, "furious" doesn't even describe Rollins' mood tonight, and he told Kane that he needs to deal with it. Of course, what does the seven footer like more than to destroy opponents? He's the perfect man for the job. And with that, Kane left the room, Rollins looking satisfied that he has dealt with his problem. Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam def. Fandango and Adam Rose — The WWE Universe were treated to a very special combination of Y2J and RVD in tag team action as they took on two of the more eccentric members of the WWE's roster. Of course, the ring experience combined with the unmatched agility allowed the two former World Champions to dispose of their opponents fairly quickly, Jericho claiming the pinfall with a Codebreaker to Fandango. Sportsmanship shone through as the two shook hands in the center of the ring, but the situation soon turned tense as they pulled each other close. Both of these men are no stranger to the Royal Rumble Match, and they know that this Sunday — it's every man for themselves. Renee Young stood backstage with the Lunatic Fringe, Dean Ambrose. Safe to say, it wasn't the easiest of interviews for poor Renee as Ambrose's mind wasn't even close to being focused on the interview. When questioned as to whether facing Kane this close to the Royal Rumble affects his chances of winning, Ambrose simply stated that no matter how big, how small, how fat, how thin, how smart, how stupid the other 29 superstars are — they're all going to go over that top rope because like it or not, Dean Ambrose is going to WrestleMania. Dean Ambrose def. Kane — What do you get when you cross two deranged individuals in a wrestling match? Well, the answer to that was right here. The Corporate Monster looked to crush the Lunatic Fringe tonight and prevent him from being a burden in the Royal Rumble Match, but it was not to be as Ambrose overcame odds as he always does and beat the much larger Kane with his signature Dirty Deeds after slipping out of a Chokeslam attempt. It's clear that Dean Ambrose is one of the favorites to walk out of Philly with the win and the one-way ticket to WrestleMania, but a person who disagrees with that thought is Seth Rollins. And speaking of whom, he made his way out, accompanied by Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury as Ambrose looked on. Claiming that Dean Ambrose was too unstable for the Royal Rumble, he told the Lunatic Fringe that he is lucky to even still be in the match. J&J Security took it upon themselves to escort Dean Ambrose away from ringside as per order of Seth Rollins. The self-proclaimed "Future of the WWE" addressed the WWE Universe with a holier-than-thou speech that simply said "I will win the Royal Rumble Match and beat Roman Reigns in the same night" in so many words. Luckily for the jam-packed crowd, the theme of Sheamus soon hit and our next match was set to get underway. Seth Rollins def. Sheamus — Since returning to the WWE, the Celtic Warrior has shown us why he is a former World Champion and a former Royal Rumble winner in his own right. Tonight he had the opportunity to score a victory over arguably the WWE's hottest commodity at the moment in Seth Rollins, but thanks to involvement from the Corporate Monster, Kane — who was still lurking following his match with Dean Ambrose moments earlier — Sheamus found himself down and out, courtesy of a Seth Rollins Curb Stomp. Mr. Money in the Bank raised his briefcase to the skies, joined by Kane and J&J Security. If this didn't send a message to Roman Reigns and the 29 other participants in the Royal Rumble, then nothing will. Can anyone truly stop Seth Rollins when the Authority is backing him up? Could we be looking at this year's Royal Rumble winner? The dominance of the Eater of Worlds, Bray Wyatt has been a focus of the WWE as of late since he was able to dismantle his arch-rival, Dean Ambrose. Wyatt continued to send his eerie messages by telling the WWE Universe that it is his time. "I will give them what they want. I will give them what they need. They need their savior and I shall answer their prayers for that is the will of the devil himself. Let me into your hearts, my children. And I shall show you the path through the darkness and into the new light that I bare. The torch that shall be passed to me. The key to my kingdom. Follow me. Let me in. I'm here ——". And with that, the scene cut to black. Bray Wyatt is indeed here. And up next, he hoped to demonstrate it physically. Bray Wyatt def. R-Truth — Few men can bring the effect of their words to the ring. But then again, Bray Wyatt isn't just any man. The Eater of Worlds demolished R-Truth in what was a quick match that only solidified Wyatt as a definite Royal Rumble contender. This monster dropped The Truth with the Sister Abigail, sending waves through the WWE Universe on impact. If Bray Wyatt wins the Royal Rumble Match, imagine how far his message could travel? The followers he would gain. The popularity he would accumulate. Bray Wyatt would be virtually unstoppable. And all that could happen in just three days. Renee Young stood backstage once more, this time with one of the two men in tonight's main event, the Intercontinental Champion, Dolph Ziggler. The Show-Off told the lovely interviewer that no matter what happens tonight, he knows that he and Roman Reigns fight for the same cause. But that doesn't mean he's going not going out to win the match and make sure he has the best advantage he can. Roman Reigns soon wandered onto the scene and there was a tense moment between the two allies. "May the best man win" declared Reigns, and Ziggler nodded his head in agreement before shaking hands with his soon-to-be opponent. Roman Reigns def. Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler (Non-title; Ziggler enters the Royal Rumble at #1) — A tough situation stood before these two young superstars, but one that had to be faced thanks to the devious Authority. These two usual allies clashed with a stipulation that could potentially make or break their Royal Rumble chances. The Show-Off fought tooth and nail for the best spot possible, but it came down to the last gasp breaths of both men in the finish. Following a ZigZag attempt, Roman Reigns held onto the ropes, Ziggler crashing to the mat and when he rose to his feet, found himself broken in half by a thunderous Spear, courtesy of Reigns who went on to hook the leg and score the victory, serving an unfortunate fate to his friend-turned-opponent. Blank faces appeared across the entire WWE Universe, unsure how to react to the situation at hand. Even Roman Reigns got to his feet without celebration, knowing that while he had saved himself from almost certain doom, he had in turn doomed Dolph Ziggler to that very fate. Reigns helped Ziggler to his feet and the two shared another handshake followed by a hug, proving that the Authority had failed to drive the wedge between them. These two combatants know that when it comes down to it, it's every man for themselves, but it doesn't hurt to keep some friends along the way. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon walked out onto the stage with smug expressions as Reigns and Ziggler looked on in disgust. Seth Rollins joined the power couple and gave a sarcastic wave to his Royal Rumble opponent, Roman Reigns. Is it wise to be "poking the bear" so-to-speak this close to the Royal Rumble? Or perhaps Seth Rollins is well-protected enough that he can do whatever he likes? Only three days remain until we find out exactly how it will go down and who will leave Philadelphia with the chance of a lifetime — to headline WrestleMania for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Good stip for Reigns/Ziggler.....assume Ziggler will lose. Ryback/Rusev hype was fine. Jericho/RVD was a good team combo. I'm hoping for an Ambrose Rumble win (or at least him looking good). Rollins/Sheamus actually could've been a co-feature Raw match as well. No surprise that Ziggler is entering #1. Solid go-home show, very curious to see how the Rumble goes.
