WWE Raw 9/19

Overview:
Punk enters the arena and talks about his histroy at this arena along with last night's match. He talks about Awesome Truth interfering, as Triple H soon comes out to confront him. Triple H then talks about 10-Ten WWE Champion John Cena and Alberto Del Rio's rematch along with Punk's rematch. Triple H then says that because of the two rematches at hand, there will be a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell for the WWE Championship at the next Pay-Per-View. Following that Triple H says he'll go to war with Punk one more time. Punk then talks about conspiracies while John Lauriniatis comes out to interrupt Punk and Triple H. Punk, then points out Lauriniatis is pulling all the strings now which we all know he is doing that. Triple H then tells off John Lauriniatis, and how he'll get to the bottom of this BS. Triple H also ensues that someone will get fired!

Raw's first match on the card is an 8-Man Tag Team match. The teams were Sheamus, Justin Gabrial, Air Boom against Christian, Wade Barrett, David Otunga, and McGillicuty. Sheamus' team begins to do most the work in the opening seconds before Christian's team begins to isolate Evan Bourne from his team. Team Christian is tagging in and out making an effective team. Evan tags in Sheamus and that leads to all 8 men getting involved, leading to Sheamus picking up the win for his team by destroying David Otunga sending a message to Christian. This 8-Man Tag Team match, is short and sweet, that could've gone a few more minutes. Backstage Alberto Del Rio, tries to tell Triple H how to do his job and Triple H puts him in his place.

Our second match has Alberto Del Rio, being announced out by Ricardo. His opponent is none other that John.....MORRISON! Had you going there for a minute. Anyways Del Rio goes right to work on Morrison's arm making him tap out to the Cross Armbreaker armbar within mere minutes from the match beginning. After that we cut right to a commerical break, following the break thou we return to Hugh Jackman coming out to promote "Real Steel" and tries to get the crowd pumped. Just he's cut off by Vickie Guererro who tries to hit on him with Ziggler right behind her. Ziggler then tries to show off and boast about winning at Night of Champions to Jackmam. Ziggler then starts mouthing off more to him and says he has a guy to face Ziggler, where Jackman then runs backstage as people chant for Zac Ryder. Along with that Awesome Truth arrives and runs into Lauriniatis.

We comeback to Raw with Sin Cara(Mystico) facing off with Cody Rhodes, with Sin Cara(Hunico) showing up too. Cody bails from the ring and the two Sin Caras battle about. It is amazing bount of ariel attacks, leaving Sin Cara(Mystico) on top for the night. Then backstage Awesome Truth try to suck up to Triple H and then he fines them for the attack on the referee. Following that he puts Awesome Truth in a match against Cena and Punk. After a short break JR finds out Randy Orton invoked his rematch at Hell in a Cell before introducing Mark Henry the World Heavyweight Champion for their interview. They talk about how no one believed in Mark Henry, or how no one apoligized to him when he finally made it. Mark Henry then tries assaulting JR where Jerry "the King" Lawler comes to the save. The King tries to fight back against Mark Henry and fails big time, as in leading to him getting slammed through the announce table.

While Jerry "the King" Lawler is helped backstaged, Kelly Kelly and Eve make their way to the ring. Their opponents are Natalya and Beth Pheonix who beat down Eve in the opening minutes of the match. Somehow this match ends with barely any tags, while Eve steals the win with a roll up on Natalya. Backstage Hugh Jackman confronts Zac Ryder calls him delusional and out of his mind. After a commerical break, Dolph Ziggler awaits in the ring with Vickie Guerrero as Zac Ryder and Hugh Jackman enter the arena. Ryder gets an early lead, but Dolph begins to dominate Ryder. Ziggler continues to assault Ryder, with him geting in some majorily needed shots. Vickie Guerrero gets kicked from ringside, and Hugh sucker punches Ziggler letting Ryder land a Rough Ryder to pick up the win.

Backstage Vickie watches a promo for Jack Swagger before running into him. They talk Vickie's new stable and Dolph slulks in his defeat. Then CM Punk and Cena run into each other and talk about stuff they got in common. Cena talks about how him and CM Punk are making history this year, along with Punk saying to be a WWE Champion to be fired. After that we get a promo for Hell in the Cell in general. The promo, just clips almost the best moments together to set up the Pay-Per View. Now we get to the Main Event, where Awesome Truth tell Cleaveland it sucks. Uh, Miz don't you live in Cleaveland?! Whatever, Cena and Punk burst on the scene and the match gets rolling.
Cena and Miz start it off, with Punk and R-Truth quickly tagging in. Before the break it's back to Cena and Miz, and when we return Cena is isolated from Punk. Eventually Punk gets in along with R-Truth leading to him getting a GTS on R-Truth. After the match, Triple H comes out and fires Awesome Truth which leads to the Raw Roster throwing them out of the building.

Review:
Alright well this Raw was alright and fine, I didn't have many issues with it at all. I enjoyed the whole 8-Man Tag Team match, which like I said was short and sweet, but could've maybe gone longer. Del Rio, slaughtering Morrison was fun cause well it was random and no one really cares for Morrison these days. The promos for Sin Cara vs Sin Cara is stepping up and becoming better I can't wait to see these two go at it in the near future. Then Mark Henry interview and Diva Match is skipable and ok, while Zac Ryder, Hugh Jackman, Vickie Guerrero, and Dolph Ziggler stole the whole show. Zac Ryder and Dolph Ziggler are the best at wrestling and entertaining, also since they're friends they'll be able to put on better matches. As for the Main Event it was all foreseeable except Awesome Truth being fired ironically, just made it "WOW" and "LMAO" watching them freak out! Anyways this left me saying that this Raw hit a 3.5-Star Rating.

WWE Night of Champions

Overview:
The Night of Champions opening promo sets up the whole night. The PPV starts right off with the WWE Tag Team Championship Match, Air Boom vs Awesome Truth. Awesome Truth entered the arena singing "What's Up? You Suck!" The Match opens up with Air Boom, actually making me believe they're good together. I actually think that this match was just to set them up. Anyways Air Boom kicks the crap out of Awesome Truth leading both members suicide diving out onto Awesome Truth. Eventually Miz and R-Truth begin to isolate Evan Bourne, and begin to pick up some steam. Evan gets a chance and tags Kofi in hitting the Boom Drop and SOS on Miz. Miz, kicks out fast and goes for the Man-tastic/Snapmare Driver. Kofi tries to get a break for Evan and Evan tags in. Evan just blasts Awesome Truth down and for Miz almost wins the match, but for once the dirty tactics go against them and the referee misses them completely leading to Awesome Truth to get DQ'ed. Awesome Truth then attack the ref, leading out to WWE Promos.

Backstage Awesome Truth runs into Matt Strike for an interview about striking the referee. They respond with them thinking everyone is against them. Back at ringside, we go right to the Intercontinental Championship match, Cody Rhodes defending against Ted DiBiase. They tie it up and DiBiase is showing why he's the son of the Million Dollar Man, but Cody reverses into using Hardcore Holly moves. Cody Rhodes, eventually manages to start laying a beating to Ted, that's when the match became slower. Ted makes a break, and slams Cody about. Ted rips off Cody's mask and tries to smash him in the face, but Cody slides and rolls him up for the pinfall. Following the match we get more WWE Promos and commericals.

We get to see the spanish commentary group leading into a random entrance for Christian. He rants for one more match then pisses off Buffalo about talking crap of their Football team. Eventually Sheamus shows up and makes his way to the ring. Sheamus then calls out Christian for another match before laying out Christian with the Brogue Kick. Following that promo, we got the Fatal 4-Way for the United States Championship. During entrance Vickie Guerrero enters with Dolph Ziggler the current champion but goes to Jack Swagger's corner. Swagger and A-Ry get Morrison and Ziggler out to start the match. Eventually things get hectic with Morrison, Swagger and Ziggler brawling in the ring. While Ziggler and Swagger fight over Vickie, A-Ry tries to steal the match but Vickie saves the match by getting Swagger's foot on the rope. We later on get the Tower of Terror, with all the guys being thrown from a turnbuckle. Towards the end of the match Swagger locks the Ankle Lock on Riley, Ziggler locks Morrison in the Sleeper, leading to Swagger beating down A-Ry and Morriosn. After Swagger hit a Gut-Wrench Powerbomb on Morrison, Ziggler slides in and pins Morrison. Backstage Vickie Guerrero runs into Striker for an interview, leading to her kissing him.

We come to the World Heavyweight Championship match, Randy Orton and Mark Henry face off in the ring. Orton makes some ways to fight Henry, but he charges back over powering Orton. Most of the match has Henry beating down Orton with him trying to fight back. Orton eventually hits several DDTs, before Mark Henry like injures Orton's leg making Orton unable to use the RKO with Henry flipping him into the World's Strongest Slam. Mark Henry wins the match and first World Championship, the crowd isn't really approving even thou most people wanted him to evenutally win it. Mark gets the mic and goes on how he will continue to dominate.

Backstage Alberto Del Rio walks around with John Lauriniatis talking about the WWE Championship. As Del Rio walked away CM Punk shows up and confronts him about how he talks load of crap. After the little run we get the Divas' Championship match. Kelly Kelly accompanied by Eve, as Beth Phoenix enters with Natalya with her hometown exploding for her. Kelly uses her speed against Beth and is caught for a spanking. Sometime afterward Eve and Natalya fight at ringside, and Kelly almost catches Beth with a roll up. Beth then begins picking apart Kelly Kelly further. Somehow as Beth tries for a Powerbomb, Kelly finally rolls up Beth for a pinfall.

Before the WWE Championship we get a promo of Champions of the ages. The promo eventually cuts to Alberto Del Rio cashing in on CM Punk. Then Cena bashing Del Rio on not being a great WWE Champion. Finally we cut to the entrances with Del Rio arguing with Ricardo about where was the car, as Cena enters with the car. Before the match starts they argue over crap and such, with Cena bashing Del Rio again. The match kicks off with Cena making Del Rio run about. Del Rio, and Cena get brawling as the referee kicks Ricardo out. Cena and Del Rio continue to conflict with each other leading to get points that get the crowd really going. Del Rio at one point hits his Super Enzuigiri on Cena, following that Del Rio begins working on Cena. the finally ends with Cena locking Del Rio in a STF for the win. Super Cena is our reigning WWE Champion yet again!

Now we come to the Main Even finally the NO DQ match, CM Punk vs WWE COO Triple H. Punk attacks Triple H before he gets into the ring, leading to them quickly fight near the announce tables. Triple H almost Pedigrees, Punk on the table and Punk runs into the ring. The battle in the ring and back to ringside, Triple H uses the ring post and Punk uses the steps. As Punk goes off a Bulldog Triple H pushes into the crowd where they fight their too. They spill over to the entrance ramp, where Triple H tries for another Pedigree. Punk countered it and goes for a Double Axe Handle, he follows up with dragging the match back to the ring. A Punk brings a chair into the match, Triple H lands a Spinebuster and throws Punk out of the ring. Outside Triple H works on Punks knee while they battle near the Spanish announce table.

Punk, hits Triple H with Diving Elbow Drop breaking the Spanish announce table. As both men try to get into the ring Awesome Truth attacks them and beats them down. Miz hits Triple H with the Skull Crushing Finale, R-Truh hits Punk with Shut Up trying to help Punk win the match. After Triple H, kicked out Awesome Truth attack the referee then Punk and Triple H attack them. Triple H then hits Punk with the Pedigree, without a referee to count a pin. Punk hits a GTS and R-Truth interferes again, with Punk hit him with a GTS. John Lauriniatis calls in Kevin Nash who comes in and attacks both Triple H and CM Punk. Kevin Nash eventually Jacknife Powerbombs Punk then he goes back to Triple H but Triple H knocks him out with the Sledgehammer. Triple H gets another Pedigree, the third of the night allowing him to pick up the win finale. After the match Triple H throws a "Suck It" at Punk!

Review:
Alright well the Pay-Per-View was pretty great and it could've been better. The opening matches were actually great. The whole way to promote the new guys or the best work horses on the card. The Tag Team match tried to improve or show how Air Boom can be a great tag team. Now as for the second match I wanted Ted DiBiase to beat Cody Rhodes so he could finally be somebody again. Just the endding to the first two matches sucked, a DQ and a stupid roll up. The third match was amazing, that Fatal 4-Way could've maybe stole the show if it went longer and was near to the main events. Also the outcome of the match was great, Ziggler retained and it made me a happy camper cause Ziggler is the man!

The rest of the night was much better and slightly sadder. The World Heavyweight Championship seemed like Orton might some how beat Henry, yet he sadly didn't. Henry just mostly beat down Orton and beat the crap out of him, which was like how the Divas' match went just ended like Orton's should've. Now as for that having Beth losing in her hometown pissed me off. I wanted the Glamazon to destroy Kelly Kelly at Night of Champions in Buffalo! Following that Super Cena jumped back to being King of the Mountain in the WWE, and for once I can approve this cause I just don't like Del Rio that much. Now finally we get to the Main Event! Triple H and Punk beat the crap out of each other, then Awesome Truth kicked their ass and finally Kevin Nash came out of nowhere to end the match! With all this happening it made the night really enjoyable. Somethings to point out are Ziggler's the man, Henry is a Champion finally, Beth got screwed, Super Cena is back and Triple H showed Punk why he is the Game! End resulting being, Night of Champions was a 7.5 out of 10-Star Rating!

WWE Smackdown 9/16

Overview:
Smackdown opens right up to Edge's return! Also anyone notice that Rated-RRR sign tonight it made me laugh. Edge talks about missing the WWE and shooting that show he does for SyFy. Then Edge cuts to tonight's the Cutting Edge with guest Mark Henry and Randy Orton. Following that statement, Cody Rhodes shows to make a shot on Haven. Edge then tells Cody to quit bitching and blaming! Cody then goes to starting more bull crap on being Intercontinetal Champion, beating Ted DiBiase and Orton on the last Raw before calling Edge a tragedy. Edge retorts about talking how Cody is so boring, before exitting the ring. Rhodes starts ranting before being attacked by Ted DiBiase who leaves Cody in the ring with a Dream Street.

Backstage Sin Cara(Hunico) and Daniel Byran make their way to the ring before the break. After the commerical break we comeback to a promo for the match. The match itself thou opens with a brawl, Byran really being dominating in the opening mintues. Sin Cara fights back leading into another break. Following the break we return with Sin Cara locking Bryan in the Inverted Indian Deathlock as Bryan fights out. Bryan eventually breaks away by catching Sin Cara in face with a kick and elbow. Sin Cara reverses by locking Bryan in a Tree of Woe and attacks Bryan, leading to a DQ victory for Bryan. After the match the real Sin Cara(Mystico) appears and faces off with Hunico who leaves when the crowd sides with the original.

In Teddy Long's office he talks with Zac Ryder about Night of Champions and the World Heavyweight Championship match. After Zac Ryder leaves, Aksana tries hitting on Teddy Long as Trish Stratus walks in. Following this small promo, we cut to AJ with Kaitlyn at ringside facing Beth Pheonix with Natalya. Beth just destroys AJ within a few minutes. Then we get some promos for Night of Champions and Sheamus before cutting to a Tag Team match with Sheamus & Justin Gabrial facing off with Wade Barrett & Christian. In the opening minutes the Barrett and Christian isolate Gabrial off from Sheamus. Finally Sheamus gets in the match and begins to take back the match. Sheamus cleans out Christian before hitting Barrett with the Brogue Kick and tagging in Gabrial for to hit a 450 Splash for the win.

The Great Khali makes his entrance as they show what happened last week before he lays a beating to Heath Slater. Jinder Mahal comes down to the ring, and he's pissed with Khali and I really don't care about what he's saying. Eventually Jinder gets in the ring and attacks Khali with Slater. Khali breaks through and scares off Jinder Mahal while hitting the Double Handed Choke Slam. Next we get the promo for CM Punk vs Triple H in the No Holds Barred match at Night of Champions. After the promo we get to Air Boom's Evan Bourne facing off with Awesome Truth's R-Truth. As Awesome Truth makes their way into the arena, they remix "What's Up?" into "What's Up? Canada Sucks!" while the Miz joins commentary with Kofi who previously joined too.

Evan and R-Truth brawl about with their two different styles. Evan gets Truth down and goes for Air Bourne. Evan misses it and lands right into R-Truth's Shut Up facecrusher. Backstage Edge makes his way to the ring for the Cutting Edge with guests Randy Orton and Mark Henry. Orton starts about how Mark Henry is the World's Strongest Man and how he's trying to make a statement. Orton even says he'll beat Mark Henry at Night of Champions. Then Edge, goes into how Mark Henry has failed several times at getting to the top. Mark Henry then retorts with how he knows and what he does, which is he's coming for the World Heavyweight Championship. Then Edge where says this is the part where I said Teddy said you can't fight during the Cutting Edge, where he cuts to the Cutting Edge is over. Orton and Henry brawl it out while the whole roster races to break the fight. Henry lands the World's Strongest Slam on Orton then battles the rest of the roster. Smackdown ends with Mark Henry holding the Championship high over his head.

Review:
Smackdown started off pretty good,and actually made me really enjoy this episode. The whole intro with Edge's return leading to Cody Rhodes getting attacked by Ted DiBiase was awesome. I really enjoyed that now Ted might finally have a chance cause I've always had a liking for Ted Dibiase. The fact he's been getting crapped on by the WWE is amazingly huge Bull Crap cause I believe Ted is better than Cody. Anyways the opening match with Bryan and Sin Cara(Hunico) was great just shouldn't end with a 5-Count DQ. Following that is the little Sin Cara vs Sin Cara face-off which should've been a brawl if the suits were different. Then Trish Stratus' little show up backstage was cool, then Beth Pheonix destroying AJ was cool but got old. Where as the Tag Team match with Sheamus was awesome cause Sheamus just kicks everyone's ass. As for the end of the night it went all to hell, until the Cutting Edge that's where it got good again. Just it didn't end well for Orton, as he got beat down again along with the roster. That whole brawl was just to keep marketing Mark Henry being the World's Strongest Man! As a result that made this Smackdown just a pure 4-Star Rating, which was great due to recent weeks of failures.

WWE Raw 9/12

Overview:
Raw starts right off with Alberto Del Rio, calling out John Cena about last week. Then Del Rio, continues to go on about how he beat Edge and cost him his career. Following that statement he went on to claim he'll beat Cena at Night of Champions, before being cut off by Bret Hart. Hart claims about how to be a great WWE Championship while Del Rio goes to insult him. Del Rio and Hart then go to face-off, as Cena cuts to the ring. Cena confronts Del Rio, leading to Cena trying to force Del Rio in a match with Bret Hart. As John Laurinaitiis comes out to make a stupid Tag Team match of Del Rio and Ricardo against Cena and Hart.

The first match on the card, is a tag team match of John Morrison and Alex Riley facing off with Jack Swageger and Dolph Ziggler. The match starts with Morrison and Ziggler, they brawl about a bit and Ziggler takes a lead over Morrison. Swagger and A-Ry get tagged in and A-Ry begins to do work. As A-Ry tries to go for a lead, Swagger locks the Ankle Lock but A-Ry counters out sending Swagger into Ziggler. A-Ry recovers and hits a TKO for the pinfall as Ziggler looks on. Following the match team Awesome Truth hold an interview about their upcoming match and WWE COO Triple H. Miz rants about CM Punk, before passing it off to R-Truth while he rants before they come to the entrance ramp and ring.

Second match on the card is Miz vs Kofi Kingston with eachs' partner standing at ringside. They brawl about, and fall outside where the others' partner comes to the save. The match spills back into the ring, and the Miz dominates Kofi all about the ring. Kofi fights back and begins to a make some sort of comeback, while trying to hit a SOS. Miz counters and eventually lands a Skull Crushing Finale on Kofi while grabbing the pinfall. Backstage, Teddy Long makes a Fatal 4-Way for the United States Championship with Ziggler, Swagger, A-Ry and Morrison, before Vickie Guerrero aruges with Kelly Kelly getting her into a match. Also a promo for Jerry "the King" Lawler and mystery partner vs Otunga and McGillicuty.

The rematch is now and Jerry "the King" Lawler selects his partner who is Sheamus this time. Lawler starts off for his team and he doesn't do much, until Sheamus comes in to dominate the match. Sheamus, then Brogue Kicks both Otunga and McGillicuty, while also hitting the Celtic Cross on McGuillicuty to grab the pinfall. That Irish bastard, is a one man wrecking team! For weeks now he's been beating the odds, eventually someone will have his number. While backstage, Del Rio and Ricardo plan out tonight's match.

Now we come to the Tag Team match of Champions, Cena and Hart the ring first with Del Rio and Ricardo following. The opening mintues has Cena toying with Ricardo, as if it's a bull fight with his shirt. Cena chases Del Rio and Ricardo around the ring, while Del Rio is made the legal man. Cena beats up Del Rio, before he tags Ricardo and leaves him to face Cena and Hart. Ricardo is hit with an Additude Adjustment and is locked in a Sharpshooter for the win. Following the Cena match, we come to Kelly Kelly vs Vickie Guerrero. Kelly just quickly beats Vickie as Jack and Dolph argue outside the ring. After the match Beth Phoenix tries to attack Kelly Kelly but is completely unsuccessful.

We get back to an amazing promo for Triple H, with an interview for Mark Henry. Henry talks about this Sunday and how he'll beat Orton, followed by the Smackdown rematch of Champion vs Champion. Orton faces off with Cody Rhodes and once again I feel like Orton will just beat him down like always. The match opens up just like always, Orton takes the lead. Mark Henry tries to come down to ringside, and Orton chases him off before heading back for Rhodes. Henry comes back to the entrance ramp, and gets Orton off his game as Cody fights back. After a break, Rhodes' is still maintain the lead over Orton. Once Orton got his groove back, Henry got closer to the ringside. Eventually Henry distracts the referee, allowing Rhodes to get one over on Orton hitting Cross Rhodes and the getting the pinfall. Following the match Mark Henry beats up Orton with a Steel Chair.

Now we come to the final face-off, Triple H and CM Punk. Punk starts off, about Kevin Nash being fired and the hate for each other. Punk also talks how Triple H is almost as bad as Vince McMahon. Punk then talks about the size of main superstars, while Triple H calls it an excuse for Punk's failures. Triple H then says his opinion doesn't matter it's the fans, that make him. Punk then asks where are the Ice Cream bars, along with the speech of the brass ring and how at his 1st Pay-Per-View he worked with DX in a Survivor Series match. Triple H, then cuts to how Punk needs to know why he respects John Cena, and how the fans work. Just like how the fans have hated him and how he needs to bust his ass. Then he shoots on how the match is going to go down this sunday. Where Punk says he's gonna give back a greater ass kicking and win at Night of Champions while stating their real names at the mics are cut off. Triple H keeps getting pissed with the mic BS and practically hands the Pipebomb to Punk where he smashes him in the face with the mic. Following the cheap shot, Punk leaves the ring.

Review:
The opening promo with Del Rio, Bret Hart, and John Cena was pretty good. I found some great humor with it. The John Laurinaitis interruption thou was a huge pain in the ass since that guy is such an ass! Anyways the matches were alright and okay. They could've been better and much more entertaining seeming that Night of Champions is this Sunday. The opening match is just more set up for Ziggler and Swagger, then following that we get more focus on Awesome Truth. Miz and R-Truth is not a great tag team just cause in recent years R-Truth is becoming annoying mostly within just this year alone. For Jerry "the King" Lawler's match, I wanted him to pick Zac Ryder again just cause Ryder is Awesome! Anyways he got Sheamus, which lead to a giant beatdown for Otunga and McGillicuty in a way only Sheamus can do.

Then as for John Laurinaitis' match he made, that was slightly a joke since we all knew Hart was gonna pick up the win making Ricardo tap out. As for Kelly Kelly's I just wish she would've beat up Vickie a bit longer, just cause who doesn't want Kelly Kelly just taking up sometime each week on Raw or Smackdown?! Anyways for the Smackdown, Champion vs Champion rematch I saw the end of the match coming but knew Cody would still get his ass beat all about the ring. Following the match we get to the final face-off, where it's all talk and hype. The promo was great but didn't have enough heat just hype until the Mic Shot! The cheap shot is really gonna get the War going at Night of Champions. But as for tonight, Raw was just over the top annoying for the fact the matches didn't truly stand out and the promos didn't really create alot of heat and just hype! So I got to give this Raw a 3.5-Stars!

WWE Smackdown 9/9

Overview:
Smackdown opens with a huge promo featuring Mark Henry's domination of Smackdown before the intro starts up. Henry then starts the show by talking about his victories over Kane and Big Show, along with his Hall of Pain. Then Henry is cut off by Zac Ryder, and tries to make him a Broski while announcing that theres a no contact rule for him and Orton. Henry orders Ryder back into the ring, then asks him who'll win at Night of Champions where he tries to get out of the question. Ryder tries to get out of the way but is hit with a World's Strongest Slam. Ezekiel Jackson then makes his entrance to face Henry in the opening match.

Jackson and Ezekiel, face off and go for a power struggle clash. The two brawl about and Jackson tries to lock a Tourture Rack in, but fails. The match goes outside where Henry uses the ring to beat up Jackson. Henry then starts to lay it into Jackson and hits off a fast World's Strongest Slamto pick up the pinfall. After the match Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes is promoted as Teddy Long runs into Aksana again. Then following the Aksana and Teddy Long, confrontation Sin Cara makes his entrance.

The Sin Cara match, is him beating down Tyson Kidd while the commentary talk about his dirty attack to Daniel Bryan. Sin Cara just mostly dominates Tyson Kidd in his usual way. The match is just plain boring cause the moves are just the same each week. After the match Josh Matthews has an interview with Sin Cara, who can now speak english! If anyone doesn't know this Sin Cara isn't Mystico he was recently replaced by Hunico due to the suspension. Then Bryan comes out and calls out Sin Cara for a rematch next week before being attacked and locked into his LaBell Lock.

When coming back to Smackdown a promo for Cody Rhodes, before Matt Strike has an interview with Randy Orton about facing Cody tonight. Following the interview, Kelly Kelly makes her entrance and awaits Natalya's entrance whose accompanied by Beth Phoenix. This Divas match is oddly out matched even thou Kelly Kelly gives Natalya a run for money in the opening minutes. Natalya beats down Kelly Kelly, but Kelly manages to get a roll up for the win and swiftly exits the ring.

Christian comes out and starts complaining about his match on Raw last week and the Steel Cage on Smackdown the following night. Then Christian continues to complain about how he wants another match until Sheamus cuts him off. Sheamus then intimidates Christian completely to leave, while Wade Barrett makes his entrance. Yeah another battle of the UK'ers! They tie it up and stuggle before they began to brawl about the ring. The pace flips back and forth between the two, with Wade Barrett eventually over powering Sheamus for awhile. Then when Sheamus finally begins to get momentum Christian interferes, Sheamus brawls out and hits Wade with the Brogue Kick. Before Sheamus can hit the Celtic Cross on Christian, he breaks from the hold and runs from the ring.

Air Boom then makes their entrance to face Jinder Mahal and the Great Khali. The match is pretty much the same as before, Evan got his ass beat down. Then Kofi appears and starts brawling about hitting his moves on Jinder. The match the ends the same as usual Khali and Jinder screw up cost them the match. Following, the match the entrances for Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton occur for the Champion vs Champion match for tonight's Main Event. Cody shot a quick promo thou before about Orton and Ted DiBiase. He ranted about stupid crap to practically force out Orton.

The match starts out with Orton beats Cody about in the opening minutes. Through out the match Orton just dominates Cody. Sometime later on in the match Cody actually tries to make a good come back. After a commerical break Cody is still maintaining the lead on Orton. Eventually Orton, makes a break from Cody and connects several moves on his old friend. Cody tries to his kick but misses and falls for a RKO. Following the match Mark henry makes his way down to the ring. Henry slams Orton down then, places a chair on his throat and sits down on him while taunting him.

Review:
Smackdown was slightly horrible, cause I didn't catch much of my attention. I thought the matches could've been greatly better. The promos also weren't even watchable at most times. Like this was just barely reaching a 3-Star Rating, and like probably hit a 2.5-Star Rating. The matches that are worth mentioning as the better matches were Barrett/Sheamus and Orton/Rhodes. Those two seemed to be great matches, just every time Barrett/Sheamus meet they've always ended horribly. I want the UK'ers to beat the living hell out of them. As for the matches that could've been greater should've been Henry/Jackson and Kelly/Natalya. My biggest complaints were they seemed too short and didn't have alot of counters or reversals. The Henry/Jackson match I wanted a battle of monsters not a Fat Strong man overpowering a Dominating guy like Jackson. As for the Divas, Kelly gave Natalya a run for her money earlier on but it didn't switch back and forth to gain a pop from the crowd. I really want the Divas to really step it up and be enough to rival some of the better Divas matches of yesterday. That's why this SmackDown hit a low of 2.5-Stars!

Then Punk called Triple H but got Nash instead, where Punk insults Nash and calls him Super Shredder...HA! Nash then says he could beat Punk, eventually leading to Nash walking to the ring which leads to Triple H's entrance. Nash then trys to force Triple H to make him have a match with Punk, where Triple H finds out who started this whole mess. Triple H, then reveals this was all Nash's plan and crap, that he broke in and sent himself the text. Ironically this leads to Triple H siding with CM Punk.

We come back to Raw and we have Drew McIntyre talking with Christian before Alberto Del Rio shows up. They then start talking about John Cena, where they're now actting all buddy, ironically I don't remember when they ever liked each other in the script. The next match is R-Truth vs CM Punk, while R-Truth is accompanied by the Miz as they head to the ring. R-Truth comes to ring questioning what makes CM Punk different from him, while the crowd mocks him continously before finally the Miz joins him. Miz then talks on about Triple H, and says Truth & himself will face Air Boom at Night of Champions for the Tag Team Championships. The match opens up with the guys grappling about with Punk dominating the early minutes. R-Truth gets out of Punk's holds and locks in a few of his own before Punk tries and a successful early counter as R-Truth goes outside of the ring. Punk follows up with a Suicide Dive, but takes his eye off of R-Truth for meer seconds to tell off Miz as the match goes back into the ring. R-Truth takes back the match and throws Punk outside the ring where Miz hits a sneaky Chop Block to Punk's left knee. R-Truth get Punk back in the ring and works on the knee, for the next few minutes. This ends with Punk getting some non-successful roll ups before R-Truth knocks him down a peg. Punk begins battling out leading into the final mintues, where Punk unleashes everything on R-Truth and tries to end the match before Miz interferes where he's throw out of the match allowing Punk to truly end it with the GTS. After the match Triple H hits the ring, as Punk still questions Triple H and Nash. Triple H retorts to saying the match has been changed to a NO-DQ match, I'd perfer maybe "I Quit", "Last Man Standing" or "Hell in a Cell." Following Triple H's stipulation Punk asks him to accept his stipulation, if Punk wins Triple H re-signs. Backstage Wade Barrett chats with Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins, before Del Rio shows up. Barrett and Del Rio then chat up about John Cena and such.

The next match is David Otunga and Michael McGillicuty challenging Jerry "the King" Lawler to a tag team match. His tag team partner was none other than the Long Island Iced-Z, Zac Ryder! Following the announcement we got clips of Zac's youtube show and I laughed cause they were my favorite moments! As Zac makes his entrance he chose his Broski of the week while Cole is a douche and talks smack about Youtubers, uh does this remind you of anyone if so check RDM's blog. Anyways Ryder is beaten down by Otunga and McGillicuty for the early mintues before tagging in Lawler who hits a quick flying fist then tags in Ryder who hits the Rough Ryder and grabs the win! Backstage Del Rio, continues to look for someone to fight Cena for him and that was Dolph Ziggler but he turns him down as the Bella Twins show up. Then Del Rio, gets under Ziggler's skin before leaving him as we cut to Orton showing up on Raw.

Randy Orton makes his entrance in the arena, as he awaits his opponent Heath Slater. Orton pummels Heath in the opening minutes, and practically just makes him is bitch for this match. Orton just demolished Slater with practically move he had but the Punt! Then backstage Zac Ryder is chatting up with John Cena for Z True Story, while Cena then makes a joke towards the Rock. After the joke Cena, heads to the ring. Once John Cena hit the ring, he cuts straight to Alberto Del Rio and his fear of him. Then Ricardo Rodriguez comes out to announce WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio's entrance, where he stays up by the car to avoid Cena. Del Rio then talks about sidelining Rey Mysterio, then chats about Night of Champions. Hell if Cena wasn't No. 1 Contender, I'd cheer Del Rio or Punk if it was Punk instead. Anyways Cena is attacked by Barrett, Swagger, Ziggler and Christian before being saved by A-ry, Sheamus and John Morrison as Smackdown GM Teddy Long shows up to make an 8-Man Tag Team Elmination Match for our Main Event. OH MY GOD, THESE SUPERSHOWS ARE BECOMING AMAZING CLUSTER FUCKS OF RANDOM AWESOMENESS!

The match starts off with A-Ry and Barrett for each team. Morrison and Ziggler get tagged in and the match steps up a notch as Morrison cleans out the other team. Swagger tags himself in and locks his Ankle Lock on Morrison while Ziggler locked in a Sleeper, Morrison eventually taps out. While Morrison leaves the ring, Vickie Guerrero comes down to ringside. After a commerical break the team of Barrett, Ziggler, Swagger and Christian have A-Ry cut off from the others. A-Ry makes a small break but is unsuccessful to get in tag, while Ziggler and Swagger have more issues. Swagger then eliminates A-Ry via submission leaving just Sheamus and Cena. Swagger tags out and Barrett jumps in, a battle of the UK'ers begins. Sheamus dominates Barrett before missing the Brogue Kick but hits it a second time eliminating Barrett. Christian tries to pin Sheamus after a Spear and fails. Christian slaps Sheamus in the face and the two are counted out of the match as they brawl outside. Now the match comes down to Cena facing Ziggler and Swagger. Cena takes them on amazingly and goes nuts before the numbers get him. Swagger and Ziggler now are teaming quite well to beat Cena at this point. The crowd goes crazy into the "Let's Go Cena" and "Cena Sucks" chants, I actually think it's cause everyone loves Dolph! Cena powers out and hits Spin-Out Powerbombs on the both of them leading into a double 5-Knuckle Shuffle. Ziggler tags in and the two argue leading to Cena hitting the AA on Ziggler and eliminates as Swagger trys to make Cena tap. Cena counters to the STF and get Swagger to submit as Del Rio trys to sneak attack Cena and falls into Cena's AA as the night ends.

Review:
Well Raw opened up great but had a slow start for the 1st of its matches. As for the opening promo, when Punk called Kevin Nash the Super Shredder it was like the highlight of the night and I enjoyed it. Then skipping the Tag Team Champions' match and the Divas' match, we come to the CM Punk/R-Truth match and it was good. It could've been better maybe but I don't ever expect too much from R-Truth at times. Just the fact that Punk still won the match due to the Miz helping R-Truth was great. It was completely a good showing!

Now we get to the second highlight of the night, which is the tag team match with Jerry "the King" Lawler and Zac Ryder. That was a great match but just having Ryder on Raw is great television. The Orton match could've been better but they saved Ziggler for the Main Event which was a good idea, I like Ziggler he's one of my favorites in the business no matter what I used to think about him. Now as for the third and final highlight, it was the Main Event!

The whole night Del Rio kept asking guys to help him beat down Cena and it seemed most weren't going to help Del Rio so I thought Dolph Ziggler was the sorry sap to fall for Del Rio's tricks. Ironically all the guys grouped up and attack Cena, leading to his allies to come to his save and Teddy to troll out and make a match. At first I didn't see it being Elimination style at all but it happened and it made the whole match even better! Ironically the way the avoid have the guys from the UK having feuds is annoy to me I want these guys to just brawl like I know they can. Also the fact that want to push Ziggler to go solo and maybe face is cool too, just some of the eliminations it the match were bad. I got to say A-Ry after Morrison was completely a jobber to him than the rookie, along with that Sheamus and Christian both were counted out was a pain in the ass. Anyways the match was a great Elimination for live tv and I couldn't hope for too much more unless it went for like 20 to 30 minutes. Finally by the end of the night I had to rate this Raw a 4-Star Rating for the opening promo, Ryder's match and the amazing Main Event!
