WWE Raw 10/3

Overview:
A day removed from Hell in a Cell, and Raw starts with promote 12-Man Tag Team match for tonight's Main Event. Following that we get Randy Orton facing off with Drew McIntyre, and Orton just destroys McIntyre in the opening minutes. McIntyre, fights back with a Big Boot and rope hung chokes. McIntyre follows up with brawling tactics, until Orton begins to hit his signatures. Orton follows through with the RKO, picking up the pinfall and win. After the match as McIntyre, tries getting up Orton hits him with another RKO as Mark Henry makes his way to the ringside. Orton flies right out to him and the two brawl about as security separates them, Henry breaks free and jumps Orton and Orton replies in the same way. Orton even goes to pushing Henry into the crowd, before allowing security to do their job.

After the first break, we return to Henry standing in the ring pacing about awaiting his opponent for the night. During that time as Henry waits for John Morrison we get told that Big Show is returning to Smackdown this Friday. Morrison starts off with working on Henry's knee, leading to him grounding Henry fast. Morrison lands the Knee Smash and Starship Pain but can't manage the pinfall. Henry kicks out, and goes right for the World's Strongest Slam and wins. Following the match Henry hits the World's Strongest Slam on Morrison again and cuts a promo about how he's done with Orton along with calling out Big Show. Backstage, John Lauriniatis holds another meeting with the disgruntled WWE Superstars like Vickie Guerrero and her Stable, Christian, and Alberto Del Rio to name a few.

Now in ring all the guys that were backstage with Lauriniatis, are in the ring. The whole group is Alberto Del Rio, Christian, Cody Rhodes, David Otunga, Vickie Guerrero, Dolph Ziggler, and Jack Swagger. Del Rio, starts off since he's the new WWE Champion so he has to rant about defeating Cena and Punk along with Awesome Truth attacking him. Christian follows up about WWE COO Triple H, then he passes it off to Rhodes, and it goes on like this for awhile. When it finally gets to Vickie the crowd just boo's her none stop as usual before passing it someone no one cares about Otunga! Triple H finally shows up and chews them out for being the whining losers they are and for them to do their job.

Next match on the card is a Divas' Tag Team match with Kelly Kelly and Eve facing Beth Phoenix and Natalya, AGAIN! Kelly and Phoenix start the match and brawl outside leading to Eve and Natalya to get involved. This all leads to the match becoming a No-Contest, while Kelly destroys Phoenix! Backstage Triple H, talks with Lauriniatis about Miz and R-Truth from last night, along with when Triple H hitting Lauriniatis. Triple H, even then chews out Lauriniatis yet again it's like Lauriniatis loves doing the same crap each week!

After a commerical break, we come to a promo for Fast Five then a match with Jinder Mahal and Santino Marella. Mahal just beats Santino with knees, until falling into the Cobra. Santino picks up the win and swiftly exits the ring leaving Mahal feuding in the ring. Following a short break, we see a brief promo for Brodus Clay whose soon to have his return to tv. Then we get the scenes of Miz and R-Truth attacking everyone in the WWE Championship, Hell in a Cell match. Following the scenes from last night, we get the Youtube video of Miz and R-Truth apologizing along with them sueing Triple H. Before heading into the commerical break, the 12-Man Tag Team match begins! CM Punk, John Cena, Sheamus, Mason Ryan, and Air Boom facing Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, David Otunga, Cody Rhodes, Alberto Del Rio and Christian with Vickie Guerrero. This hopefully won't suck for a main event.

The 12-Man Tag begins with Sheamus and Mason over powering the opposite team. The match flips back and forth, for awhile. During a the match Del Rio dropkicks Kofi in the back of the head which looked badass. The match continues, and Air Boom get involved for match leading to Bourne almost winning the match for their team. Vickie puts Swagger's leg on the rope breaking the count but leads to her getting kicked out. The match continues with alot more of reversals and great moments to the match. The whole match ends when everyone gets involved hitting their finishers on each other, and thus allows Sheamus to pick up the pinfall on Ziggler.

Following the main event we get this huge promo thing about does everyone trust Triple H as COO. The ringside is filled by Raw, Smackdown and Referee rosters along with Jerry "the King" Lawler's return. Triple H makes his entrance and talks about him running the business the way he knows how to. Someone tries to cut him off and he tells them to shut up, that person was Wade Barrett. Triple H then responds on how Wade Barrett was once a problem to the WWE. Chioda then explains how the referees fear coming to their jobs; before Beth Phoenix cuts in about who'll look out for the Divas? The King even, agrees with how everything is coming out of control and how knows someone doesn't want him in charge. Then everyone votes for no confidence in him, leading to the whole roster leaving even the announcers and camera-men go except Jim Ross who was the very last. Lauriniatis comes out for a brief minute then leaves, while the crowd cheers for Triple H.

Review:
This Raw began great and ended pretty great. Almost all of the matches were great matches on the card, a first in a good while in which I've seen. The 12-Man Tag Team match was the best on the whole card, and is the only thing I plan to talk about here along with the "No Confidence" vote. The main event match, was great my only issue was no Zac Ryder! They replaced Ryder for Ryan, which it's like hey look Batista V2 he's awesome and cool so we'll push him and not Ryder. Anyways the match was fast paced and Cole even quoted the match was like Fast and Furious and it was. The way they mostly marketed team Ziggler rather team Cena, even thou Cena's team had several good faces. The only members from Cena's team, that wrestled the most were Air Boom, Punk and Sheamus ironically Ryan nor Cena was given enough time in the match which isn't a issue. So when looking at the match it was performed greatly as it tried to market its best wrestlers. As for the 'No Confidence' thing it was stupid and all foreseeable that Triple H would be walked out on. Just it was bad that none of the better 'Face' Superstars even appeared at the meeting to support him. It just look stupid and boring, cause it was foreseeable! WWE could of made it such a better promo if they took the damn time to plan this. That's why this end promo of the night killed my actual rating as it became 4 out of 5-Stars!

WWE SmackDown 9/30

Overview:
Smackdown, opens up with Booker T making his entrance and welcoming everyone to it. Then he introduces the World Heavyweight Champion, Mark Henry and tries to get on his good side. He ends up getting on his bad side thou, cause Henry well is against the world. Henry then goes on about defeating Randy Orton and will beat him at Hell in a Cell, along with members of the 'Hall of Pain.' Then Henry argues with Booker T, over how Orton will beat or lose at Hell in a Cell. Following that Mark Henry gets ready to face the Great Khali. The match opens with Khali beating down Henry with clubbing fists, and kicks. Eventually Henry, grounds Khali and hits several big splashes. Khali tries to fight back and fail, while falling into the World's Strongest Slam. After Henry beats Khali he then goes to crush Khali's knee with the steel chair and body splash.

Backstage, Khali is on a stretcher as Jinder Mahal confronts them. Following that Air Boom makes their entrance, with a match for Evan Bourne to face Jack Swagger. Swagger is joined by Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler. The match is pretty good, Evan is seemingly to get a better push. During the match Ziggler tries to interfere, but fails and is attacked by Kofi Kingston, while the ref looks at the fight outside Vickie then interferes helping Swagger. From the interferance, Swagger locks the Ankle Lock on Evan making him tap out. Then breaking news, at Hell in a Cell it will be Sin Cara vs Sin Cara!

The next match is Sin Cara(Mystico) facing off with Heath Slater. In the opening minutes he botches a moves and quickly follows up with his finisher. Then the fake Sin Cara(Hunaco) reveils himself, as the Black and Silver Sin Cara. After that we get a promo for tonights Intercontinental Championship match, Cody Rhodes defending against Sheamus due to Raw's Battle Royal ending with the interferance from Christian. Following the promo we get a commerical break and return to a promo for WWE COO Triple H's recent issues, then all the superstars are in a meeting with John Lauriniatis talking about their greivances. Next we get a Divas' Match with Kelly Kelly facing Natalya, as Beth Phoenix join commentary. The match beings with Kelly elbowing Natalya, and Natalya not getting any counters. Soon Natalya begins to wear Kelly Kelly down, but Kelly lands a roll-up pinfall. After the match Beth Phoenix hits Kelly with a Glam Slam and Natalya hits her with the new submission.

Following the Divas' match we come to the Intercontinental Championship match. Just before the match gets started, Cody Rhodes rants about the injustice that has been given to him and talks smack about Sheamus. During Sheamus' entrance he talks about how he'll beat Rhodes for the title tonight. The match finally gets going and Sheamus overpowers Rhodes. Sheamus just beats him down in the opening minutes, until Rhodes exits and tries to re-enter the ring. Sheamus gets him back in and continues to assault him. Somehow Rhodes, manages to fight out of the assualt and lands a Beautiful Disaster kick on him heading into the commerical break. Coming back from the break Rhodes is maintaining to wear down Sheamus by working on his "injured" shoulder. Sheamus fights back leading to powerslams, diving shoulder block, and finally the Brogue Kick, but misses it. Sheamus recovers and tries for the Celtic Cross, but Christian hits the ring and hits Sheamus with the KillSwitch. The match ends via a DQ, while Rhodes retains the title.

Long Island Iced-Z, Zac Ryder shows up and is a match against JTG of all people. The match is pretty boring starting off since they have JTG out wrestling Ryder. Eventually Ryder, fights out and gets the crowd backing him up. Ryder hits the Broski Boot, and follows up with the Rough Ryder for the win! Woo Woo Woo, You Know It! Backstage Triple H runs into Lauriniatis, and tells him off about his backstabbing ways. Just Lauriniatis tries to say he stands by Triple H, but we know he's not so serious. After another break, we get the stupid Hell in a Cell promo that has been spammed since after Night of Champions and we're read off the matches.

Following the Hell in a Cell promo, Matt Striker has an interview with Randy Orton about his upcoming match with Mark Henry this sunday. Orton is furious with Henry's earlier statements and swears he'll hit a RKO on him. Along with that Orton swears he'll end Henry's reign as World Heavyweight Champion leading into tonight's main event. The main event thou is Christian vs Orton, where it starts off with them countering one another. Eventually the turns to Christian's favor as he begins to dominate him. After a short break, we return to Christian still beating Orton. Soon Orton fights back, with Christian managing some reversals. Christian hits a Spear and only gets a 2-Count pinfall; while Christian goes for the KillSwitch, Orton reverses and lands the Rope-Hung DDT. Two then fight outside the ring, leading into a double count-out draw. While Orton tries to RKO Christian on the announce table, Rhodes comes to the save, then Sheamus comes to Orton's save. That all leads to Henry coming down to hit Orton with the World's Strongest Slam, which he does but when trying to destroy him with a chair Orton kip up hitting a RKO to end the night!

Review:
Well Smackdown was alright, and had alright matches. Just the matchs were all predictable. The opening match was good, just I wanted it to go longer since it was a battle of Goliaths'. Following that we get Evan Bourne facing Swagger, I'd perfer it end via Swagger's Gut-Wrench Powerbomb instead of the Ankle Lock. The Ankle Lock just doesn't really fit Swagger since he can't match up to Angle. Following that we get a crappy Sin Cara match and crappy Divas' match. Recently these matches just bore the hell out of me! The Intercontinental Championship, was one of the best on the card. It was really enjoyable, the whole fact that Sheamus destroyed him and how Christian jumped him seemlessly, following that we got a Zac Ryder match! Anytime Zac Ryder is on any show it just adds to my Rating! Well anyways the main event was good, along with the final minutes with the brawls and Orton hitting the RKO in his hometown. With that all being said, SmackDown was great match were played out mostly correct. The key issues with it were mostly the first few opening matches and the end results, actually most of the results hurt the rating for tonight. So I got to go with gut wrenching guess of like 3.5-Star Rating!

WWE Raw 9/26

Overview:
Raw opens up to WWE COO Triple H, explaining why he fired Miz and R-Truth the previous week after Raw's Main Event. Triple H, then goes on about the fine and firing blaming it on themselves along with Mark Henry's attack on Jim Ross and Jerry "the King" Lawler. Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler then interrupt Triple H, their reasoning is the "sucker punch" from last week. Dolph Ziggler even goes on to say he's everyone's hero, and I agree with it completely! Triple H, jokes about maybe Ziggler needs protection from even the Muppets as Cody Rhodes shows up. Triple H, then goes to screw with Rhodes about the old days and Christian hits the ring. Guess what Christian asks for another match, leading to Triple H making matches for Christian such as at Hell in a Cell he'll face Sheamus, at Smackdown it's Randy Orton and tonight it's John Cena. Then Triple H gives, Zac Ryder a United States Championship match against Ziggler and Rhodes to defend the Intercontinental Championship match against 9 other guys in a Battle Royal.

The Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal, has Cody Rhodes, Sin Cara, Ted DiBiase, John Morrison, Ezekiel Jackson, Daniel Bryan, Alex Riley, Sheamus, Justin Gabriel, and Drew McIntyre who went out first. Hunico replaces Mystico and he's eliminated by Daniel Byran leading to the two Sin Caras' battling. Sheamus eliminates both Gabriel and A-Ry as Jackson takes out Morrison and Bryan. Sheamus and Jackson brawl about leading to Rhodes eliminating DiBiase. Rhodes, eliminates Jackson and soon after takes out Sheamus with Christian's assistance. Rhodes retains the Championship, while Christian assaults Sheamus.

Next we got the commentary team talking about last week with Mark Henry attacking "the King" leading to King's injury. Backstage John Lauriniatis chats with David Otunga about random crap before jumping to a Kelly Kelly promo. That's followed by a Divas' Tag Team match with Kelly and Eve facing Beth Phoenix and Natalya once again. These rematches are now getting old! Anyways, the match goes as is Phoenix beating Eve before tagging in Natalya. Kelly gets in an just beings to use her speedy style while Eve and Natalya get thrown outside aiding Phoenix in reversing Kelly for a Glam Slam/Pin Combo. Following the match, Mark Henry shows up and makes his way to the ring. His opponent is Great Khali, and Mark just destroys Khali in minutes making the match a no contest.

After a commerical break, we got Cena against Christian. But before the match, John Cena cuts a boring promo all about the Hell in the Cell match. That's followed by Alberto Del Rio and CM Punk joining commentary while Christian finally re-enters the arena. The match starts with Christian taking to the man, he just jumps on Cena. Christian, is soon countered by Cena leading to them spilling outside the ring. As the match ends with Del Rio interrupting the match making it end in a DQ. Then Del Rio proclaims he'll beat CM Punk and Cena this sunday.

Finally we get to the United States Championship match with Zac Ryder and Dolph Ziggler who's accompanied by Vickie Guerrero and Jack Swagger. Ziggler, takes down Ryder fast and just beats him down. Ryder, makes a break hits a Broski boot before being blindsided by Swagger aiding in Ziggler retaining the Championship. Following the match Swagger and Ziggler attack Ryder, while Air Boom comes to the save. Shortly after Ted Long makes a 6-man Tag Team match with Ziggler, Swagger and Mystery Man to face Air Boom and Ryder. The match starts as a Handicap, while Vickie still looks for the other teammate. Ironically Swagger and Ziggler aren't being screwed up by the Handicap. Eventually, when Air Boom and Ryder begin to make a comeback Vickie shows up with Mason Ryan, Batista V2! As Mason Ryan is tagged in he instead turns on Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler, leading to Ryder hitting another Rough Rider along with the pinfall.

After another break we get the Hell in the Cell promo that we've seen for weeks. Then we cut to Otunga talking with other Superstars about Triple H running the company. Lauriniatis is truly setting up to over throw Triple H, by pissing in other Superstars' ears. Following that we get to the Main Event, Alberto Del Rio vs CM Punk, while Cena joins commentary. The match opens with CM Punk, going after Del Rio's arm. Eventually Del Rio counters out, and begins really beating down Punk. Del Rio goes after Punk's arm for the rest of the match to set-up for the Cross Armbreaker, but Punk counters with a roll up pin for the win. Following the end of the match the Hell in a Cell cage lowers and Cena joins Del Rio, Punk and Ricardo in the ring. Punk and Cena attack Ricardo, while Del Rio jumps them with a steel chair, leaving him the last man standing for the night.

Review:
Well Raw was pretty freaking awesome tonight! We had two title matches, and the Hell in a Cell lowering on the WWE Championship Match opponents. Just starting from the beginning, the whole Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal was great. I really was hoping the match was going in Sheamus' favor just it didn't end that. Hell even if Ted DiBiase won it'd be better than Rhodes. Then the match is a Divas' match that sucked for like 5 to 7 minutes, even thou I enjoyed that Kelly got caught in the Glam Slam. The Cena/Christain match sucked, just due to the finale of the match so that completely sucked. As for the United States Championship match it was a let down to not see Zac Ryder become the new Champion, but the whole 6-Man Tag Team match that followed was great as Batista V2 returned! The end of Raw was good but could've been played out alot better and end with more hype for this half-assed match leading into Sunday. Things that would've been greater for this Raw is some title changes, and Cena or Christian getting some sort of end without the DQ end like it had. Even thou there where some really bad points to the night this still ended great leaving it at a 4-Star Rating!

WWE SmackDown 9/23

Overview:
SmackDown opens with John Lauriniatis talk about Triple H firing the Miz and R-Truth in front of the SmackDown Roster. Then he cuts right to introducing Mark Henry, shortly after Triple H gets on the scene. After Triple H tries to like congradulate Mark Henry, Christian shows up and somehow to weasel into getting a World Heavyweight Championship match tonight. Triple H just hands him the match, and makes it a Lumberjack Match and winner will face Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell.

The first match on the card is Sheamus vs Heath Slater. This match is already going in one man's favor. Sheamus, just practically beats the hell out of Slater. Then randomly Slater gets one up on him before falling to his demise. The Great White, just destroys the loser. Following the match, backstage Great Khali runs into Christian and they chat it up. This is probably the only time Khali has ever spoke this much english during his whole WWE Career!

Next match is Wade Barrett against Justin Gabriel! Barrett brawls about, beating Gabriel down as the match goes in and out of the ring. Gabriel fights back with a few dives, kicks and a STO. As Gabriel takes his eyes off Barrett, Barrett recovers Boots him in the Head following up with Wasteland. These first few match are seemingly just plain out squash matches.

After a break, Matt Striker has an interview with Randy Orton about his loss. Orton goes on thou to saying he'll get the Championship back. Following the interview, we get a promo for Hell in a Cell. Backstage Christian talks with Ezekiel Jackson about being World Heavyweight Champion. Christian is trying to get support from the Lumberjacks the Lumberjack match tonight. We then get to the Divas' match of the night, it was a Tag Team match. Beth Phoenix and Natalya are squashing yet again Kaitlyn and AJ. Beth and Natalya, just beat the hell out of Kaitlyn in opening minutes. Aj flies into the match starts doing work on Beth, before falling to a Glam Slam yet again as Kaitlyn checks on AJ following the match.

Eventually we get another Randy Orton/Cody Rhodes match. They brawl about and the match is a complete brawl. Rhodes, uses his mask on Orton and Orton replies by doing the same to Rhodes. Due to Orton using the mask he gets DQ'ed, following that he attacks Cody and just beats him down. Orton assaults Cody with his mask, hits him with the ring as WWE edits all the amazing blood Cody spewed from the attack leaving us with a random RKO on the announce table. After that Christian tries to suck up to Sheamus, for the Lumberjack match. Christian even gives Sheamus a potatoe, just it's not an Irish one its an Idaho Potatoe!

The next match is Great Khali facing off with Jinder Mahal. In the opening minutes, Jinder somehow manages to get Khali down. Eventually Khali fights back and quickly finishes off Jinder with his Two Handed Chokeslam. Following Khali destroying Jinder, we get Sin Cara facing off with Daniel Bryan. The match has the original Sin Cara(Mystico) battling with Daniel until, the second Sin Cara(Hunico) knocks Sin Cara out and replaces him while winning the match. It quickly jumps to Christian running into Zac Ryder and trying to win him over. Then randomly Ryder gets a call from Hugh Jackman saying Orton's in!

We get to the Usos' facing off with Air Boom. The Usos' beat down Evan Bourne in the opening minutes which seems the usual for him. Eventually Kofi is tagged in and things get going. Kofi hits one of the bros with a Trouble in Paradise leading to Evan hitting Airbourne for the win. Then before the main event got start we got the Zac Ryder and Hugh Jackman from Raw. The promo even used Decade Stock Music, such as my favorite "Fight in the Man".

Finally we get to the Lumberjack Match for the World Heavyweight Championship! The match starts with Christian trying to getting away from Mark Henry. Christian tries to play cat and mouse but the Lumberjacks stop him. Henry brawls about and beats Christian down, he mostly uses submission holds to wear him down. Christian fights back and almost gets Mark Henry down just he couldn't manage the KillSwitch on him. The fight spills outside and the whole roster swarms Mark Henry, just he destroys anyone who was in his way. Christian then tries to get out of the match and Sheamus throws him back into the ring and right into Mark Henry hitting him with a World's Strongest Slam for the win. After the match Orton rushes Henry going into SmackDown's final minutes of the night.

Review:
SmackDown was completely a squash night. The matches were completely able to predict, and figure out all the outcomes even without the known spoilers. Since the matches were so easy to judge and predict it became an issue to really enjoy most of the matches. Ironically even thou they weren't amazing matches, I enjoyed Sheamus beating down Slater, Air Boom/the Usos' match and the Main Event where Henry fought the whole roster. Those few matches just barely got me into the whole episode of SmackDown. Hell if Sheamus wasn't so awesome at kicking everyone's ass the start of the show would've been boring. Then Air Boom was great cause it's just help to set-up Air Boom as a good tag team while still trying to get the Usos' some airtime. Now Mark Henry vs the Lumberjacks was great, for some reason I would've enjoyed Henry losing just for the fact he destroyed the roster last week and it'd be pay back. Another pure plus for the show was Kaitlyn and Zac Ryder, Kaitlyn is one of my favorite Divas in the WWE and Ryder is just Ryder! Making this edition of Smackdown equal out to a mildly great 3-Star Rating; Woo Woo Woo, You Know It!

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.

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 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 Raw 9/5

Overview:
Raw opens with a promo for the CM Punk, Triple H and Kevin Nash feud. The promo shows all the backstory that has happened since Summerslam. Leading into Raw itself with Punk making his entrance into the arena. Punk then goes on about is issues with Nash and Triple H. 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. Nash then thinks it's about the push from Smackdown, all leading to Triple H firing Kevin Nash while Punk laughs at him.

John Laurniatis, then meets Kevin Nash at his car and they leave arena. Following that Air Boom makes their entrance to face Jinhder Mahal and Great Khali. Evan Bourne is dominated and cut off from Kofi for the opening minutes of the match. Kofi Kingston gets tagged in, and leads to Jinder and Khali having tag team issues. Khali hits Jinder with another chop Kofi gets Evan tagged back in and lands an Airbourne for the pinfall. Following the match, Kelly Kelly comes down to join commentary while Eve was ready to face Beth Phoenix as Natalya also joined commentary. Beth dominates Eve while Kelly argues with Natalya. Beth hits a Glam Slam somewhere during the match and beats Eve. After the match Natalya jumps Kelly Kelly before joining Beth in the ring.

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!

WWE SuperSmackDown 8/30

Overview:
So before SmackDown begins, Facebook and Commerical Promo notified me that tonight Sin Cara faces Alberto Del Rio, Randy Orton face Christian in a Steel Cage rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship, along John Cena face off with Wade Barrett, and finally a contract signing for Night of Champions between CM Punk and Triple H. After that promo we ge the regular Smackdown intro from Green Day, and it makes me wish I had someone to punch everytime I hear it.

Following the whole SmackDown intro, John Cena bursts onto the stage saying "Is today the right day?!" John Cena hits the ring and cuts a promo, about SuperSmackDown live and the Brand Extension being gone while including WCW shows for fun along with XFL. Then Cena calls out Alberto Del Rio, but instead he got Ricardo Rodriguez leading to Cena punching him in face while Barrett made his entrance. Barrett, the goes to insult Cena and such leading into why he demanded a match with him. Finally this all ends up with a commerical break.

We come back to Cena vs Barrett and the two brawl it out. Cena, gets the quick lead on Barrett by hitting a quick Bulldog and Headlock Takedown. Cena, dominated the match completely endding it with a huge Additude Adjustment and pinfall. After the match Matt Striker had an interview with Mark Henry. Henry goes on about how he'll face the winner of the Steel Cage match. Then he gives his own input on Steel Cage matches along with facing himself. Following the short interview, Sin Cara made his entrance leading into another break.

We comeback to Daniel Byran coming down to the ring and makes me completely wonder why is Bryan facing Sin Cara. Seriously this maybe what Ricardo meant when Del Rio couldn't make it. Anyways the two of them fly about and Daniel goes for a quick pinfall. Daniel locks Sin Cara in several amazing submissions and Sin Cara broke out. They eventually fight about with aerial moves, and swift moves coming down to Sin Cara hitting his aerial combo into the pinfall. After, the match Sin Cara kicked Bryan in the face. Shortly after Matt Striker has an interview with the Tag Team Champions, Air Boom about being tag champs.

Next we get a promo for the Christian and Randy Orton feud of the World Heavyweight Championship. It covered everything since Christian winning the Championship at Capitol Punishment, the No Holds Barred match at Summerslam to now. Then after the promo Christian has an interview, about being World Heavyweight Champion.

We get to a Divas Tag Team Match, where Aksana is special ring announcer. The match is between Beth Phoenix & Natalya facing off with Kelly Kelly & Alicia Fox. Kelly and Natalya start off the match, while Natalya and Beth dominate her fast. Alicia Fox, gets tagged in and gets hit with a Glam Slam as Beth picks up the win. Backstage, Triple H and Teddy Long walk to the ring for the signing.

Teddy Long, is already in the ring and announces Triple H as he makes his entrance. Triple H, goes on about how the WWE Board aloud him to make the exchange from Nash/Punk to Punk/Himself at Night of Champions. Following those brief words, Triple H calls out Punk for the signing. Punk, comes about to question the contract Triple H for the match. Then Triple H, goes on about Punk insulting Triple H and how Triple H approved Punk's theme and shirt, along with the match at Night of Championship leading to how Triple H snapped under the pressure. Punk then goes on how he wants the Cerebral Assassin at Night of Champions and wants the WWE to be better, changing it. Triple H, then calls out Punk saying he just wants to be on top like a martyr. Punk retorts about how he'll be the real change around WWE not Triple H. Triple H, retorts to how if it was Vince he'd have to take a beating but instead Triple H will put a beating on Punk at Night of Champions. After the signing, Kevin Nash arrives and explodes on the scene leading to him booting Punk and shoving Triple H down.

During the break, Kevin Nash blows off Matt Striker for an interview. After that we get the Great Khali facing off with Sheamus. Khali takes down Sheamus fast with several chops leading into a weardown submission. Sheamus breaks out, beats down Khali and preps for a Brogue Kick. Before Sheamus hits the kick Jinder jumps Sheamus leading to them teaming up on Sheamus. They beatdown Sheamus for awhile but somehow he manages to power out hitting the Brogue Kick on Khali and Pale Justice/Celtic Cross on Jinder. Now that was some crazy crap, cause usually a 2-on-1 attack you take the beating not give it.

Finally we get to our Main Event the Steel Cage Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. In the opening minutes Christian makes several attempts to exit the cage, each time Orton stops him from getting out. After a break, we come back to Christian and Orton brawling about the ring, while Christian attempts to get out again. Orton tries to hit a fast RKO and fails, but recovers and lands a few moves. As Orton goes for the Rope Hang DDT, Christian flings him into the Cage and follow with a foot choke before trying to climb out again. Orton trys a Roll Up and falls into a SpineBuster. They fight about for awhile, and end up battling atop the top rope with Orton getting a Superplex in.

Follow another break, Orton was controlling the match throwing Christian into the Cage, before Christian countered minutes later. They battle on the top rope again, and Christian reverses Orton pushing him down while following up with the Frog Splash and a unsuccessful pinfall. Christian then attempts a Spear, countered into a RKO that's countered into the Spear. Then Christian tries to Punt, Orton moves out of way. Then he tries to fake out Orton but fails as Orton starts take back the match. Christian recovers and gets on top the cage, while Orton joins him. They battle atop the cage and back into the ring leading back to the top rope, for a Super RKO and a win. As soon as the match ends Mark Henry comes down to the ring and enters the cage. Orton tries to beatdown Henry but is unsuccessful. Henry beats Orton into the cage, then hits him with a Big Splash, back into the cage and finally the World's Strongest Slam. Mark Henry after beating down Orton, holds up the World Heavyweight Championship.

Review:
Well this live Smackdown could've been better! The opening match was just a beatdown to Barrett, but it was expected. Then the match between Sin Cara and Daniel Bryan, pissed me off cause I expected Sin Cara to face Del Rio. Since it was Bryan I was even more pissed, cause they jobbed Bryan to Sin Cara and having Sin Cara turn heel was stupid it felt. Then following that we got some boring crap until the Contract Signing, that's where everything got amazing. The feud between Triple H and CM Punk is turning out great, and the heat behind it is good especially when you got the Wild Card in this, Kevin Nash. The Sheamus/Khali match could've been a little bit better, but the end beatdown was amazing. To see Sheamus take down both Khali and Jinder, was just pure awesome sauce! Now as for the Main Event that was great, just I would've like no commerical interuption. The match played out amazingly and the reversals were amazing. I enjoyed all the Spear and RKO attempts leading all the way up to the Super RKO, that endded it. I foresaw, Mark Henry appearing at the end of the match and just destroying Orton completely, so I wasn't disappointed my the whole beatdown. Also it couldn't of gotten any better either, since Mark Henry sucks and has a foreseeable onslaught of moves. Ironically this just made tonight's SmackDown a 3.5-Star night!

WWE Raw 8/29

Overview:
Triple H, roars out in the arena to make his point swift. He announces the brands are not technically existing anymore, making Raw and Smackdown Supershows. Then he jumps to the whole issue with Nash and Punk, where Punk interrupts as soon as possible. Eventually this all leads to Nash's entrance which is the NWO Theme, as we learn he was signed to WWE. Then Punk and Nash argue about leading to Triple H making a match at Night of Champions for them to face each other breaking the meaning of Night of Champions. Endding the promo, Orton makes his entrance as we get a upcoming promo for Orton vs Dolph Ziggler.

Randy Orton and Dolph Ziggler, they tie it up and brawl about. The match goes great leading to several counters, and brawling outside the ring. Orton and Ziggler really get the match going, with Orton hitting free fall drop Neckbreaker, and Superplex. While Ziggler, got a Fameasser in and countered the Punt with a Superkick. The match ended with Orton hitting a DDT, Ziggler locking in the Sleeper followed by Orton spinning out into an amazing RKO. Along with that Jack Swagger, watching on.

Following the match, John Cena comes down to the ring and talks about what he'll do Alberto Del Rio. He eventually, lead Cena saying "If you want some come get some!" That leading to Mark Henry coming out to set up more "Supershow-ness" and Henry goes on about he'll face who ever wins the Cage match. After that statement Christian, interrupts while Cena goes to insult them leading to a brawl that makes Sheamus come to Cena's save. Ah what an amazing Team, the Red Ranger and Green Ranger!!! Hint, Hint: I'm buying their shirts soon! Henry and Christian bail from the ring, as John Lauriniatis is confronted by Triple H.

The next match on the card is CM Punk vs the Miz, before the match Miz goes on about Punk and his recent Pipebombs. This week, Punk believes he's a Green Ranger too, while he mocked Miz...lol! They tie it up, with Punk taking the lead. They brawl in the ring facing off with their styles, Miz takes down Punk. For the next minutes following Miz, dominates the match hitting a few of his signature moves. Eventually Punk reverses Miz and takes back the match. Follow Punk hitting a Savage Elbow Drop, and going for the GTS, R-Truth hits the ring leading to a DQ-Win. Miz and R-Truth beat down Punk as Nash comes down to the ring to hit a JackKnife Powerbomb.

Match number 3 is Sin Cara against Jack Swagger. As we all know Sin Cara is going to win cause he makes people job to him. Anyways during the match Jack, grounds Sin Cara and Vickie Guerrero comes down to ringside. That leads Dolph to also come down to the ring and help cost Jack his match while aruging with Vickie. Heck the rivalry over victory is boring and stupid the only good thing out of this is Ziggler either turns solo and becomes WWE Champion or turns face!

Our next match on the card features the new Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne in rematch with Otunga and McGillicuty. We find out Kingston and Bourne, team's name is Air Boom....I just want to say it but I don't want to offensive! Well the match sucks, cause Otunga and McGillicuty do nothing. The end result is Air Boom retaining the Championships. Following the match Otunga attacks Jerry "the King" Lawler, I guess Otunga wasn't happy with the insulting him or his wife.

The Divas' match of the night was Kelly Kelly against Nikki Bella or Brie, I don't know whose who. It's hard to tell them apart unless you see the tattoos which they love to hide. Kelly dominates one of them as the girls hit Twin Magic and gets the win over Kelly Kelly. While Beth Phoenix and Natalya trash Kelly Kelly backstage.

As the Main Event starts, Henry and Christian make their entrances first while a commerical break occurs. Sheamus and John Cena, make their entrances with the crowd exploding for them. Sheamus starts the match and overpowers Christian leading to Mark Henry tagging in. Henry and Christian dominate Sheamus for most of the match, leading to Cena getting tagged in. Cena locks a STF on Christian, while Henry breaks the hold as Sheamus and him slip the fight outside. Christian recovers and lands a Spears, Cena while trying to get the pinfall. Cena breaks out and sends Christian into the Brogue Kick from Sheamus then into the Additude Adjustment. The night ends with us hearing about Triple H facing CM Punk at Night of Champions while Cena and Sheamus stand in the ring together in victory.

Review:
Since the Brand Extension is pretty much dead for now this makes everything amazing. The rosters being combined together gives us better matches, and possible rivalries. The first Raw Supershow, had a good start with the promos and matches. The Orton/Ziggler match went fast pace and the moves made played out great. The RKO finish on Ziggler was a great impact finish. Now jumping straight to Miz/Punk, the match actually had a good start and a mildly great presentation for the continuation, however the end result sucked quite a bit. The DQ finished suck but was predicted, at least Nash coming down to add insult to injury was good. Following that match Raw sucked until the Main Event, the tag team was good, I think it just had the right crowd to support it. The end to the match was my favorite part a Brogue Kick right into the Additude Adjustment, that's just pure awesome-sauce! As a result of the end to the Brand Extension and great presentation of the matches I look forward to tomorrow's SuperSmackDown. So to rate this I say it's 4-Star Raw!

WWE SmackDown 8/26

Overview:
SmackDown opens with a re-cap of last week's Battle Royal to decide the No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Leading to Mark Henry's victory and the stare down that follow, before transitioning right into SmackDown's intro. Still hating GREEN DAY! Anyways we get cut into discovering that the Main Event is Sheamus vs Mark Henry, then we get a special return of Bret "the Hitman" Hart! Hart starts off by saying COO Triple H made him the Special GM before announcing the Live Super SmackDown featuring Raw and Smackdown. Then we here the Main Event is Mark Henry vs Orton, for the World Championship while Christian interrupts him. Christian talks about blaming Edge for his lost, leading up to Christian asking for his rematch. Hart goes on about how Christian is becoming an embarassment, Why don't they just return to calling him a CLB?! This all ends with Bret Hart, making a different match for next week a SteelCage ReMatch! Mark Henry then shows up and argues about his Contendership. Then says he'll face the winner of next week's match as Sheamus cuts in. They brawl about leading into a promo for Orton vs DiBiase.

After the first break, we get Christian facing off against Daniel Bryan. Before the match begins we get a quick promo for Bryan, it shows off how badass he is. The match starts off with some good counters, and Bryan landing a suicide dive. Bryan locks in a Submission and trys rolling it into a pinfall. Christian kicks off and beings fighting back. After a short break, Christian has a headlock on Bryan leading to some counters. Eventually Bryan gets around Christian's offensive and manages to hit his flying dropkick. Bryan follows up with a great offensive uppercuts, kicks and knees. Christian follows up trying to hit a Spear and fails, minutes later Christian trys a KillSwitch and falls into the LaBell Lock. Christian breaks the hold by reaching the ropes, then finally lands a KillSwitch and gets the pinfall.

The next match we get is Wade Barrett against some jobber, following some WWE Vault moment which was a match between Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho. Maybe that Vault clip is to foreshadow something for next week's SuperSmackDown?! Well instead of facing the jobber, Wade Barrett walks away as we jump straight to the Raw Rebound. The Rebound covers the CM Punk/John Cena match for No. 1 Contendership. As soon as the Raw Rebound ends we cut to Sin Cara facing off with Heath Slater. This match is gonna be amazingly easy to guess, while we find out at SuperSmackDown we'll see Sin Cara face Alberto Del Rio. Anyways, Slater loses to Sin Cara within like 7minutes.

Now we come to the only match I saw from this whole SmackDown while it airred, Randy Orton vs Ted DiBiase. Ironically while writing this thou I barely remember what freakin' happened! As Ted makes his entrance, Cody talks about crap and such on improving Ted's career and Cody being Intercontinental Champion. The match starts with Ted, getting an early advantage before Orton took over. The match flipped back and forther leading to a commerical break. When we got back from the break the match was leaning into its final minutes before Orton hit a RKO and got the pinfall. Following the match Cody Rhodes attacks Ted and bags him!

The Divas' match of the night was Kelly Kelly facing off with Tamina. This match actually was pretty good, Kelly Kelly brawled about with Tamina in the opening minutes. Ironically, it seems Kelly Kelly is now to be some Brawling Barbie?! Anyways she gets the win as we cut to Striker interviewing Jinder Mahal. Jinder, goes on about how Khali failed him last week in the Battle Royal and how Khali is to face Ezekiel Jackson tonight. Khali and Jackson, brawl about and each destroy each other in the 6 minutes or so. Jinder tries to interfere in the match and is struck by Khali by mistake, while Jackson locks Khali in the Touture Rack to win via submission. Jesus Christ, that submission made the crowd along with myself go OMG!

Tod Grisham gets a quick interview Orton on the Cage Match, and Orton goes into quick detail on he'll defeat Christian than Mark Henry. Leading right into promo for Mark Henry and his destructive ways, before finally getting to tonight's Main Event. Mark makes his entrance first followed by Sheamus. They brawl about for the opening minutes of the match and it was great brawling could've been better if it was No Holds Barred! They fight outside the ring and brawl about again leading to Sheamus this time winning via count-out. Following the match they brawl outside the ring and it's better than the whole match was in general it all ends with Mark Henry hitting the World Strongest Slam on Sheamus onto the steel steps.

Review:
Well this SmackDown was able to make over a 3-Star Rating with a 3.5 rating, even thou I missed it during its actual airring. I missed due to getting seriously sick during a car ride home today from NYC. Anyways from what I saw on Youtube originally made me think this SmackDown was shit and then actually waking up & rewatching some parts a few times I was like damn! The first match was great, that vault clip I saw was a great match from a year or so ago and didn't fit in, then Jackson making Khali tap and the Main Event made the whole show. That vault clip, followed by the Wade Barrett promo and Sin Cara match made me thou really hate this SmackDown. The vault clip just didn't need to be shown at all, even thou I love that match it was plain out stupid to air it. I think they only airred due to the fact Jericho, Christian, Edge and Bret Hart are all Canadian!

Anyways the actual matches that happened on SmackDown were good. Christian/Bryan went over good it could've been better but was good enough. Then Jackson/Khali was an amazing piece of brawling monsters, especially the match finish. Ironically putting Jackson/Khali back-to-back with Sheamus/Henry was a great idea, it really had the crowd going. My only disapproval of the Main Event was the count-out victory for Sheamus, hell the match should've been No Holds Barred and ended with World's Strongest Slam on the steps. I mean the end of the night was slightly a let down even thou that adrenaline got pumping, hell I wanted more! Anyways stay tuned for more Wrestling Reviews, and the SuperSmackDown next week!

WWE SummerSlam 2011

Overview:
Summerslam opens with the National Anthem played by Tool's Adam Jones, which was pretty damn good compared to other instrumental verisons I heard. Then we cut to the opening Summerslam promo about tonight's PPV. We flash to the CM Punk vs John Cena promo for the Undisputed WWE Championship, actually it was most of the opening promo. As the opening pryo shoots off in the background we can see the Miz's AWESOME blow up sign meaning Miz vs Rey Mysterio is the opening match. Actually it became a 6-Man Tag Team Match.

The opening match was The Miz, R-Truth and Alberto Del Rio taking on the team of Kofi Kingston, John Morrison and Rey Mysterio. Kofi and Miz start it off, leading to John Morrison soon tagging in. Eventually they switch Miz for R-Truth and Morrison brawls about with R-Truth. The match moves slow at times, and Team Miz works on Kofi for awhile working on his head. Kofi tags in Rey and Miz tags in R-Truth, the match really speeds up and Rey picks up the win with a 619 when Kofi and Morrison suicide dive onto Miz & Del Rio.

After the match, Punk runs into John Laurinaitis then into Stephanie McMahon where she tries to wish him. Punk reluctantly waves her off since she offers him a hand shake where he quotes "I know where that hand has been!" Then we transition over to the Sheamus vs Mark Henry promo. Where I'm like damn this match better be amazing, leading to the match itself.

Sheamus and Mark Henry, brawl it out in the opening minutes. Sheamus, quickly beats Mark Henry down on to his knees before Mark Henry flings Sheamus out of the ring. Mark Henry then beats down, Sheamus for awhile hitting a couple of slams. Mark, finallys goes a body splashes where Sheamus rolls out of the way and begins taking back the match. Sheamus hits a shoulder block then a flying shoulder block, where he follows through into a Brogue Kick that knocks Henry from the ring. As the match spills outside Mark Henry regains himself and powerslams Sheamus through the barricade, knocking him out to win via count-out.

Josh Matthews then holds an interview with Christian, asking him about what he meant on SmackDown this pass friday. Then Christian rants about Cowboys and Aliens which I agreed with that it's slightly overrated even thou it seems to be a good movie. Followed by Cee Lo Green singing the theme "Bright Lights, Bigger City" for Summerslam. Then he followed with "Forget You!" as the Bella Twins, Alicia Fox and Rosa Mendes were background dancers.

Next on the Card was the Divas' Championship match with Kelly Kelly accompanied to the ring with Eve, as Beth Phoenix was accompanied by Natalya. Kelly tries to use her agility until Beth got a good hold of her. Beth slams Kelly about and locks several holds onto her. Kelly eventually reverses Beth Phoenix and turns the Glam Slam into a roll up and wins, retaining the Divas' Championship. Backstage Stephanie is seen leaving John Cena's locker room, leading to R-Truth hanging out with Jimmy Hart who wants to manage him.

The third match is Wade Barrett vs Daniel Bryan, as we get clips from last months Money in the Bank where Bryan won. The match starts off with Bryan getting in some hits and Barrett reversing a few. Byran hits a Dropkick, and Barret hits a couple knees before Bryan gets in another dropkick. Bryan impress the crowd with several moves and counters before getting hit with a side-slam. Barrett now in control begins working on Bryan's back. Barrett ties Bryan in the ropes to continue his assault on the back while going for another pinfall. The match spills to the apron then to ringside, Bryan gets Barrett into the ring and hits a flying Dropkick. Byran proceeds with the multiple kicks to the chest and head, leading to Barrett breaking away and landing a Big Boot. Bryan counters into the LeBell Lock, as Barrett gets the rope. The two then climb up a turnbuckle fighting each other, leading to Barrett knocking off Bryan and hitting a Wasteland for the win.

Now we come to the next match which is our first World Championship match, that is the World Heavyweight Championship match. The promo is played for the match history leading into the PPV. Then they play up how this match is a No Holds Barred match, and Christian's quote from SmackDown ending the promo. Christian hits the ring first, and then annoucnes his insurance policy is Edge. Edge then talks about Christian's first lost to Orton, followed by all the other losses. Edge then, gets to Christian's win via the DQ and how he became a little bitch again before leaving him. Randy Orton then makes his entrance, to makes his way to the ring.

The match, finally begins and Orton starts hitting Christian in the head and gut. Orton tries to get Christian in a corner but Christian fights out hitting an European Uppercut. Christian goes for some rope chokes and Orton counters for DDT before getting thrown outside. They spill outside and head to the announce tables, Christian grabs the title thou and jumps into the crowd. Orton beats Christian down in the crowd and pulls him back into the ring. Eventually Christian goes for a kendo stick, after reversing Orton and hits him several times with it. Christian tries for a couple pinfalls, as Orton goes for a roll up. Christian tries to go for a second rope move, falling into a Dropkick and Orton's Powerslam. Orton gets some move signatures in while reversing a KillSwitch. Orton tries for the Punt and Christian sides out, and goes to pull Orton in crotch first into the turnbuckle before reversing another move.

Then finally we got some tables, as Orton Superplexes Christian into a table. The match spills outside again, after Christian reverses the RKO and begins using the steel steps on Orton. Christian then drags Orton to the announce tables again now setting up Orton for a RKO on it, where Orton reverses it into his own RKO breaking the Spanish Announce Table. Both of them crawl back into the ring where Christian hits a KillSwitch on Orton, with Orton breaking out of a 2-count pin. Christian then goes for a Con-Chair-Toe, that Orton spins out of the way. He then hits Christian to the apron sending him through the other table, with Orton throwing in more weapons into the ring. We now had steps, a trash can, kendo sticks and a table that Orton Powerslammed Christian through. He follows up with a DDT onto a trash can, and a RKO on the steps for the pin. Orton, once again becomes the World Heavyweight Champion.

After the World Heavyweight Championship match, we get to see the Fan Acess. They show stuff like Sheamus on Conan Tonight, WWE with the Be a Star program and some Be a Star party. The whole promo wraps up with Stephanie talking with Triple H, in his referee gear on somewhere backstage near the locker rooms. With the Undisputed WWE Championship promo following, it's still the same NFL-like promo!

We now come to the Main Event as WWE COO and Special Guest Referee, Triple H makes his entrance. The first of the WWE Champions to enter was CM Punk, as the crowd exploded for him, Booker T even quotes Punk as being "Stone Cold Mad!" Cena followed out next as "Cena Sucks" chants exploded from the crowd. Before the match starts Triple H pats them down looking for weapons, the crowd still chanting for Punk and "Cena Sucks!". They tie it up, CM Punk takes some control with a quick cover. For the first few minutes the match is at a stand-off, they're matched quite equally. Cena goes for another cover, while being unsuccessful but continued to maintain leverage over Punk. Punk, breaks away and takes down Cena locking him in a rear naked choke, then a side head-lock. Cena counters, and the match stays technical with some suplexes following. Punk gets in a Big Boot, and follows up with knee attacks to the gut. Cena tries for a STF, getting it countered with him rolling out to the apron and Punk dropkicks him off.

Cena rolls back into the ring as Punk goes for a few pinfalls. Punk continues to wear down Cena with some submission holds. Cena powers out with a Side Slam, and a some Shoulder Blocks, as Punk tries for a Knee and Bulldog combo leading to a Spin-Out Powerbomb. Cena follows with the 5-Knuckle Shuffle but reversed, then countered Punk into a STF, where Punk returns with an Anaconda Vice variation. Cena breaks out and spins it into a STF, with Punk countering it into the original Anaconda Vice then back to Cena with a Crossface. Cena eventually is thrown outside with Punk flying out with a Suicide Dive, leading to an almost double count-out which Triple H stops by throwing them back in. Cena and Punk brawl it out and leads to several counters and almost pinfalls. Cena gets in a STF, and Punk reaches the ropes, the two then begin to hit the other with their Finishers. Eventually Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment on Punk with only a 2-Count pin, Punk follows up by hitting a GTS and 2-Count pin. Punk goes for a Elbow Drop and another pin, as fans shout "Randy Savage!" Cena goes for a Fisherman Possum Pin, Punk breaks away for another GTS, and gets the pin with Triple H not noticing Cena's foot on the rope.

Punk celebrates at ringside, circling the ring as the fans cheer for him. Punk then re-enters the ring where Triple raises Punk's arm in victory. As Punk celebrates his victory, Kevin Nash enters the ring and hits Punk with the JackKnife Powerbomb and leaves through the crowd as Alberto Del Rio runs to the ring to cash in the Money in the Bank. Del Rio, quickly pins CM Punk and is delcared the WWE Champion, as Triple H is left clueless to Kevin Nash's return.

Review:
Well this Summerslam obviously left me a little bit stunned, I didn't think they'd cash the MitB on Punk. I didn't think Nash would appear at all, but I'm loving it! Kevin Nash, is one of my favorites in the business along with his JackKnife PowerBomb being one of my favortie Powerbomb variations. But anyways the early matches on the card didn't truely impress me, until Kelly Kelly retaining the title was slightly shocking. I'm guessing they want to prolong her defeat a little longer. The Sheamus vs Mark Henry match could've gone maybe a few more extra minutes and not be count-out. The way now to end this is like a TV-airred rivalry ending as like a Main Event on SmackDown sometime near the next PPV. Now the Wade Barrett and Daniel Bryan match was actually a better pace than the last three. The result too, I didn't see coming. The way Daniel actually dominated Barrett in the match was good, and Barretts way back to victory was well played. The battle on the turnbuckle was amazing leading the finale, with Barrett hitting WasteLand.

As for the Main Events they went off amazingly. Starting with the No Holds Barred Match for the World Heavyweight Championship, Christian put on a good showing with countering Orton at key points. The way Orton dominated thou in the match was quite expected, and like the Viper of old. Now to sort of knock the match, at several times during the match Christian took alot of damage like a RKO through the Announce Table, going through another two set of tables, then smashed onto a trash can and finally RKO'ed on the Steps. Realistical he'd been knocked out or really sore, if this wasn't PG. It's like he just didn't play the part right. Orton win the title thou was great, but now more complaints will grow saying this is overkill with Orton holding the Championship yet again.

Now for the WWE Championship match! The stand-off moments in the opening minutes really set the pace for the match. That was a key point in making this match better to enjoy. Then as the match continued over time, it began playing back and forth with proper amounts of reversals and counters. The submission reversals, were some of the best I've seen in awhile. When Triple H threw them back in stopping the 10 count really got the crowd going as Cena and Punk got to their feet leading into the closing minutes. As the match dwindled down to it's final minutes, it made me think they might give the title back to Cena to lead into Del Rio cashing in tonight or tomorrow on maybe Rey or something. The whole Cena winning, actually became firm in my mind when Triple H missed Cena's foot on the rope when Punk won. I thought like several others the match would be restarted. However it didn't and Kevin Nash came out, JackKnifing Powerbombed Punk allow Del Rio to make the steal. This really annoyed me to an extent. I didn't want Punk to get cashed in on, I rather it be Cena cause at least then I could cheer him over Del Rio, cause now the storyline can go any way. When the WWE writers make a change up like this you never can really tell right away how it'll turn out.

Like right now we got Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio tomorrow, with both Punk and Cena out of a rematch. Along with that Punk is now going to be gunning for Nash, as Triple H searches for the reason why Nash did that. So now everything is all in the air, and I'm rating this Summerslam instead of using 5-Star Ratings, it's going to be 10-Stars and that score is 6-Stars out of 10! My reason is cause the Main Events brought in a good showing along with the unexpected results to Divas' Championship and Barrett/Dainels match. If the opening matches had a little more to them and better results I could've rated this 7 out of 10, but since they flopped it's a 6! Stay tuned for tomorrow, when I report Raw's overview, results and review!

WWE Friday Night SmackDown 8/12

OverviewSmackDown opens with for once the opening credit promo crap with Green's Do You Know the Enemy. Followed by WWE COO Triple H, coming out to talk about this weekend's Summerslam along with the Main Event. Then he goes on about loving to be in Vince's shoes running WWE. He follows up with announcing an Intercontinental Championship match, Ezekiel Jackson vs Cody Rhodes; a MitB Holder vs MitB Holder match, and matches for the World Heavyweight Champion competitors. Christian then interrupts Triple H, before he can announce Christian's opponent. Christian comes to the ring and says he's going to sue the WWE cause Randy Orton is unstable and he shouldn't be in a No Holds Barred match with him. Triple H retorts by saying the match is still gonna happen and schools Christian about how contracts work. Christian has a breakdown about Randy Orton's history with Triple H, where Triple H schools him again. Christian flips again where Triple H reveals that Sheamus is to face Christian tonight. Thus it was Game Over and we cut to Commerical!

We come back to World Heavyweight Champion, Christian vs Sheamus for our opening match. Sheamus quickly takes down Christian and applies a Outlaw Stomp, before the match spills outside the ring. Christian pushes Sheamus into the turnbuckle post a couple of time and beings working on the right shoulder. Sheamus breaks out beings putting a hurting on Christian, hitting several of his minor signature moves. Before being able to hit the Brogue Kick, Christian splits from the ring and Sheamus wins via a stupid count-out.

Next match is a Divas Tag Match, Beth Phoenix and Natalya against AJ and Kaitlyn. AJ & Kaitlyn are easily jobbed out since they're rookies. AJ is hit with the Glam Slam and Kaitlyn locked in a Sharpshooter. Then we get a quick promo for Raw's MitB Holder Alberto Del Rio facing SmackDown's MitB Holder Daniel Bryan.

SmackDown shows a promo for Sin Cara, then we cut to Zack Ryder and Teddy Long chatting. They're soon interrupted by Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, followed by Aksana coming in to hit on Teddy. Eventually we come to a promo for Mark Henry being the most dominate superstar right now. After the promo, Johnny Curtis finds out his debut match is against Mark Henry. Leading into Sin Cara's return to SmackDown where he beats Tyson Kid.

Next match is the MitB Holder vs MitB Holder match. Daniel Bryan really puts on a show with Alberto Del Rio. Bryan did most of the work in the match before Del Rio locked in an Armbrecker. Bryan taps out to it and is attacked by Wade Barrett, where Barrett hit Bryan with a Wasteland. After a commerical break, we come to the Intercontinental Championship match and let me spoil this now cause I knew this since the taping, Cody Rhodes wins. Anyways Jackson, dominates the first few minutes before Cody and Ted begin playing games, leading to Cody's victory.

After the Incontinental Championship match, and Commerical Break we get the NFL-like promo for John Cena vs CM Punk at Summerslam. Following the promo, we get a run down of the Summerslam Matches. Then Randy Orton, has an interview with Matt Striker about the upcoming No Holds Barred match at Summerslam. Then we come to Mark Henry vs Johnny Curtis, where Mark Henry just overpowers Curtis. After the match Sheamus, comes to Curtis' save before Mark Henry could break his leg.

Finally we get to our Main Event, Randy Orton vs the Great Khali. Orton tries getting a few punches and Khali just flings Orton all about the ring. Khali, hits a Khali Chop, into the Vice Grip to the shoulder where Orton reverses the hold. Orton traps Khali in the ropes and gets in several kicks. A few mintues later Orton comes out of no where and lands a RKO on Khali and gets the pin. Christian comes out after the match to say at Summerslam everything is going to change, when it gets to the No Holds Barred match. Does this mean Tomko is back or something else?

Review:
Well this SmackDown sucked the matches weren't anything to compare to the Raw matches. Nothing really got good enough to amp the crowd up for Summerslam it seemed. There weren't any matches on the card worth mentioning, or really talking about. Hell the Intercontinental Championship match was pretty dumbed down, I mean it didn't seem really enough to how Cody won or that he won. The Divas' Tag Match could of been much better if they didn't job AJ and Kaitlyn. I mean they're barely even using AJ or Kaitlyn correctly at all, these two Divas could actually be good in the division and to job them for being rookies doesn't help Natalya or Beth rep as being dominate either. As a result this SmackDown only equals about 2 out of 5!

WWE Monday Night Raw 8/8

Overview:
Raw starts off with WWE COO Triple H, coming down to the ring to cut a promo for the upcoming Main Event at Summerslam this weekend. The Main Event in which John Cena will face CM Punk to decide who is the Undisputed WWE Champion. Triple H, talks of change in the WWE and his take over, this gets the crowd popping. Triple H, then calls for a special guest enforcer/referee for that Main Event which is himself. Next he goes on about the official contract signing, and the matches for tonight. The opening match: John Cena vs Mystery Man, as we go to our first commerical!

We return to Raw with the announcement of who Cena's opponent is, which is Jack Swagger?! Yeah, Cena vs Swagger is the opening match on the card, who booked this crap? Anyways, the match opens with Jack Swagger going collegiate wrestling lead on Cena before it turns to several Suplexes from Cena. Then transitioning to a game of power between the two. Swagger eventually "over powers" Cena, then out of nowhere Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment for the win. Following the match a promo for Rey Mysterio vs the Miz is played.

Scott Stanford tries to hold an interview, then get interrupted by Albert Del Rio. Del Rio calls out CM Punk to a match. Following the interview, they recap the Morrison/R-Truth rivalry leading to R-Truth having an interview with Josh Matthews. R-Truth responds by ranting about random ass things! His gimmick is like if you're really tripping on acid or lsd. Coming up next, is the match promoted earlier!

Match two begins, with Rey Mysterio getting blind sided by the Miz. Miz beats him into the WWE Logo on the entrance ramp, he then goes to the ring and complains about being in a match at Summerslam. He then, wants to be claimed the winner of the match by forfeit. Triple H, tells a referee that the Miz will be in another match against Kofi Kingston. The two brawl it out, leading to commerical break following a suicide dive from Kingston onto the Miz.

They cut back from the break and the Miz is now dominating Kofi, with a headlock. Kofi breaks out and the match flips back and forth for awhile, mostly leading to Miz continuing to dominate the match. They try to hit several signatures on each other for sometime leading to multiple reversals. Miz, finally locks on the Skull Crushing Finale onto Kofi and picks up the win. Backstage, Punk runs into Josh Matthews for a quick interview on the Summerslam match and declaring Del Rio is his opponent tonight.

Del Rio, makes his entrance followed by CM Punk's entrance, the crowd explodes for Punk as shirts and signs are all about the crowd. Del Rio, overtakes Punk fast soon leading to a quick counter. Del Rio fights back and works on Punk's arm, before Punk gets Del Rio out of the ring. Punk lands the Knee & Bulldog combo, the clothesline followed by Del Rio reversing the GTS. Del Rio goes for the Armbreaker before falling into another GTS and losing the match to WWE Champion, CM Punk!

We come to a Divas match the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix vs Eve, debuting a new edition of her theme song. Beth trys to overpower Eve, while Eve bouces about for awhile. After a few minutes Beth gets Eve down throwing her into the guard rail, then slamming down by her hair. Eve boches at one small point and it's noticed, leading it her gaining the up hand before heading into a Glam Slam. Beth takes the match, followed by a talk of how Kelly Kelly and Eve ruin the Divas division. Soon Kelly, hits Beth from behind with the Divas Title and runs to check on Eve. Followed by the promo for Morrison vs R-Truth.

Before we can even get to Morrison vs R-Truth, we get Perfection! Dolph Ziggler, with Vikki Guerrero faces Alex Riley, a battle with Downstait themes, yea! A-Ry quickly goes for a cover, until Dolph takes him down a peg. Ziggler goes for a Sleeper Hold, and A-Ry gets out countering with a Spinebuster before getting the win via DQ. After the match he sucker punches Ziggler into Vikki leading to them arguing.

Following the short lived match of A-Ry and Ziggler, we come back to a recap of the Cena/Punk feud for the WWE Championship. The recap is pretty commical cause they added a narrator that made it seem like something for the NFL. Leading to the commentary cast going over the card for Summerslam, with the John Morrison vs R-Truth match beginning shortly after. We cut back from the break with John Morrison's entrance and the match itself. Morrison quickly puts a beating on Truth. The fight goes outside the ring, almost costing Morrison the match. R-Truth finds away around the assault and lands a Shut Up for the win.

For the last segment of Raw, we learn Rey Mysterio will face the WWE Champion at next weeks Raw for the Title. Then followed by a short interview with the World Heavyweight Champion, cutting to the contract signing. Triple H and John Laurinaitis already stood in the ring, awaiting for CM Punk and Cena's entrance. We quickly cut to Punk dissing Triple on movies, then a video on Facebook from The Rock. It's another great moment where the Rock trashes Cena again and then talks about people who hate Cena. The crowd just eats it up, along with Triple H and Punk. Cena then responds with BS about how he loves entertaining the fans and gives a shout out to the new G.I. Joe movie. Cena even goes on about being the modern day Hulk Hogan, which he freakin' is and he admits his defeat!

Then Cena rants about him and his fans, how he never turns his back on them and how Punk "changed" his persona. This is where Triple H comes in, along with Laurinaitis and recent fired employees. Now the crowd really got behind Punk, as he talked how Cena is raised above everyone else. That's where we learned about the entire grudge Punk had for Cena. Punk shortly after declares how he'll take the WWE Championship away from Cena at Summerslam, leading to him signing the contract. Cena then talks on how alot rides on Punk, for if he loses at Summerslam. That now Punk needs to back up everything he says, or everything is over for Punk while Cena signs the contract. Eventually Cena, wants to brawl and Punk agrees until Laurinaitis steps in and is kicked by Punk with then Triple H forcing Punk out of the ring.

Review:
Alright well this Raw had ok matches, they were short and sweet. The promo at the end was great between CM Punk and Cena again. I mostly enjoyed the Divas Match and Del Rio vs Punk match. The Miz vs Kofi along with the Morrison vs R-Truth were mostly one-way fights, just the end of Morrison/R-Truth was out of the blue sort of. The best parts of the Del Rio/Punk match were Del Rio's quick work on Punk's arm and the double-counter into the GTS. However the Diva's match is the shortest on the card to have an official pin fall finish, along with that I love how they're turning Beth back into the Glamazon. Having Beth return to being the dominate Glamazon again is a great marketing device to the Diva's Division. Also the ass shot on Eve was good which lead into the final minute of the match.

Now as for the end segment with the Contract Signing! The Rock, clip was good it's always a great thing to see Cena trashed. Then as for Punk's grudge with Cena was great too. The character they're building for Punk is the new age Austin by going against the management. Hell the way he finally made Cena call himself the modern day Hogan was great, I mean it admitted the reasons why Cena is hated now! So as for my rating this was a good 4-star Raw leading into Summerslam. CM Punk is becoming the crowds new fan favorite, he points out how the system is just keeping C-Nation onto top like Hulkamania was. So just keep marketing Punk and I'll be happy. Stay tuned for this Friday Night SmackDown!
