Overview:
Hell in a Cell, opens with a cool promo for the event. Following that we, pan to the commentary team introducing themselves while Christian makes his entrance. During this time the camera team shows Miz and R-Truth coming to the front row with tickets. Before Sheamus can make his entrance Laurinaitis and his security team come to kick out Miz and R-Truth out. Then the opening match was allowed to begin, Sheamus and Christian tie it up. Sheamus gets an early lead, as Christian tries to bolt from the ring. Sometime later Christian knocks Sheamus out of the ring from the tope rope. Christian drags Sheamus back in, and begins to wear him down. Sheamus powers out, leading to him countering an early KillSwitch. Following that the two soon to begin brawling about from ring-post to ring-post, leading to Sheamus landing the Shoulder Block! As Sheamus, goes for a Brogue Kick on Christian just he bails from the ring leading to an outside Spear then another in the ring. Sheamus breaks the pinfall, and leads to him landing the Brogue Kick followed by the pinfall.
After the match, Mark Henry backstage has an interview with Matt Striker about the upcoming match tonight. We then cut to Sin Cara(Mystico) vs Sin Cara(Hunaco) a match that is quite boring. The opening minutes of the match are boring cause of the damn Sin Cara lighting, and they're very tactical in their wrestling. Eventually these two luchadores starting like luchadores can! Sin Cara(Hunaco) being bigger and stronger, lands a powerbomb and attempts another one leading to Sin Cara(Mystico) getting a roll-up pinfall. Backstage, CM Punk is confronted by David Otunga where Punk insults him several times.
Next up we got a Tag Team Championship match, with Air Boom facing Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger accompanied by Vickie Guerrero. The match begins with Air Boom, beating Swagger and Ziggler about until they use dirty tactics. The match has great points to it and ironically making a match that should be the sub main-event on a Raw. The match almost ends with Ziggler assisting Swagger for a Super-Powerbomb, just Kofi Kingston gets Ziggler out of the ring leading to Bourne hitting the Frankensteiner. Following the Frankensteiner, he goes right into a pinfall roll up for the win.
The fourth match on the card is the World Heavyweight Championship, Hell in a Cell match. Mark Henry and Randy Orton start off the match brawling with each other. Orton, begins trying to ground Mark Henry and slam him off the cell. Henry powers out and being slamming Orton all about the Cell and ring. During the match Henry tries throwing the stairs at Orton, which gets the crowd popping. Henry continues to weardown Orton, for awhile leading to him locking a few Bearhugs in. Henry then drags Orton outside to try and hit a World's Strongest Slam on the steps, but Orton climbs up the cage leading to him fighting out. Back inside the ring Orton, beings to hitting off his signatures followed by him setting up the RKO. Orton, hits the RKO with Henry managing to kickout of a 2-Count pinfall. With the RKO unsuccessful, Orton begins to prep the Punt Kick but falls into the World's Strongest Slam, allowing Henry to pick up the win. After the match ends, Henry instead of walking away tries to cause more damage on Orton with another World's Strongest Slam, and the chair on the knee. Orton slides out of the way and hits him with the chair several times, before Henry kicks him in the gut and runs away.
Backstage Alberto Del Rio, has an interview with Josh Matthews about his upcoming Hell in a Cell match tonight. Following the interview, we get Cody Rhodes coming out to cut a promo. Rhodes during the promo throws the Intercontinental Championship in a paper and un-vales the classic Intercontinental Championship as the new and current Championship. Ironically, this makes Rhodes look badass at this moment to bring back the retro belt! Laurinaitis, then comes out to interupting him to tell him he's defending it against John Morrison. Rhodes, isn't ready for the match and Morrison is just dominating him. Rhodes bails from the ring and begins trying to get counted out. Rhodes, begins to ground Morrison for awhile even locking in the Figure 4-Leglock. Morrison fights out and begins taking it to Rhodes eventually leading to Rhodes blocking and avoiding Morrison signature and finisher. Following those reverses, Rhodes rolls up Morrison for the pinfall.
Laurinaitis comes rushing into Triple H's office, telling him stuff is going down. They go rushing from the office into Air Boom's locker room where Miz and R-Truth are attacking them. Security removes them as Triple H chews out Laurinaitis. After that we cut to Beth Phoenix with Natalya making her entrance to face Kelly Kelly accompanied by Eve for the Divas' Championship. The match starts with Kelly Kelly hitting Phoenix with Lou Thez Presses' and Sentons. Phoenix powers out and ties Kelly up in the turnbuckle followed by a Dragon Sleeper. Phoenix then begins to grind her elbow and knee on Kelly's back. Eventually Kelly and Phoenix battle about in several roll-ups, as Phoenix tries for the Glam Slam. As Kelly begins to get fight out, where Natalya beats down Eve. Back inside the ring, Phoenix locks Kelly in Natalya's new submission, while the refree breaks the hold due to Kelly reaching the ropes as Natalya hits Kelly with the microphone. The ref doesn't notice this and Phoenix follows straight into the Glam Slam and pinfall.
As we come to the WWE Championship, Hell in a Cell we get the promo that lead to this Triple Threat Match. The promo begins with CM Punk winning at Money in the Bank, then Del Rio cashing in his Money in the Bank contract at Summerslam, followed by Cena getting the title back at Night of Champions and finally Triple H making this match. The match opens with Cena and Punk trying to corner Del Rio. Cena and Punk then are left in the ring to start battling each other trying to lock in their finishers. Following that CM Punk hits a suicide dive, on both Cena and Del Rio. Punk and Del Rio, then begin to brawl in the ring as Punk gets out the first weapon of the night. Cena then starts battling with Punk outside before Del Rio joins the fray. Now Cena and Del Rio battle in ring as Cena hits the 5 Knuckle Shuffle, and soon is kicked by Punk. After that Punk hits Cena with a neckbreaker and Del Rio with a DDT, while busting out a table.
Following Cena reversing Punk, Del Rio attacks Cena bringing him back into the ring. As Cena fights back, Punk gets involved in the match again. Del Rio manages to get headlock on Punk as Cena the both for a Leg Drop. Cena goes for an AA on Del Rio, but fails as Punk comes to the save knocking Del Rio out of the ring. Cena and Punk go punch for punch, until Del Rio flies in with a chair. Then Del Rio sentons onto Cena and Punk, which was the stupidest part of the night so far. Eventually, Cena hits an AA on Punk, Del Rio breaks the pinfall while Del Rio tries to lock the Armbar on Cena and Punk saves the match; that ends with Punk hitting a GTS on Cena and Del Rio saving the match. Del Rio takes over the match and begins dismantling Cena. As Del Rio turns to Punk, Punk fights back. Cena explodes back into the match, only leading to Punk reversing him.
As Punk goes to Elbow Drop Cena like he did to Del Rio earlier, Del Rio pushes Punk off the top rope and into the table. Del Rio then falls into the STF, and Ricardo breaks into the match leading to Del Rio getting and locking Cena out of the cell. Del Rio now works on Punk, as Punk is now the underdog. Outside of the cell, Cena begins to come too, while inside Punk fights back. While Del Rio and Punk battle for the Championship, Cena tries breaking into the cell as Del Rio hits Punk with the pipe he used on Cena. This all leads to Del Rio being able to win the Championship, and as the cell rises Cena jumps Del Rio. While this happens Miz and R-Truth slide in attacking everyone in the cells area as the cage closes down. The whole roster rushes to the cell and try to get in, while Awesome Truth destroy the refs, Cena, Punk, Del Rio and Ricardo. Eventually the cell is broke open and every rushes Miz and R-Truth, while they get arrested and Triple H jumps them before being carried away by superstars and security.
Review:
Well I can start off by saying that everything but the end of the Pay-Per View was great! That end with Miz and R-Truth, coming out was boring as hell cause the roster didn't get a chance to beat the hell out of them. Like it would've been better if the roster bursted in to destroy those two. The end was just too much like a crappy episode of Raw. Anyways as for the matches, I think the top 3 matches on the card were the Triple Threat Hell in a Cell, the Tag Team match and Sheamus vs Christian. Sin Cara vs Sin Cara would've made it if the lighting was the Gold and Blue for Sin Cara. The whole Triple Threat was amazing and could've ended better with Punk winning, but alright Del Rio it's still an ok ending just due to the reversal rate and counters. The other Hell in a Cell match wasn't the greatest and was quite boring, not enough action or wrestling along with the sad endding of Orton losing!
As for the other matches I did enjoy the Sheamus/Christian match, Tag Team Match and Sin Cara vs Sin Cara. Those three had great points that establish their divisions. Sheamus and Christian brawled about leading to two amazing Spears and the Brogue Kick. Following that we jump to Sin Cara vs Sin Cara, these two luchadores just amazed the hell out of me. My issue was that they didn't go over edge with showing off their talent. Mystico and Hunaco could've brought down the house, just they didn't! The Air Boom/Perfect Americans match was amazing, if anyone doesn't know who the Perfect Americans are they're Ziggler and Swagger. That tag team match was good and great should get a rematch on Raw that's how enjoyable I found it.
The bottom two matches were Rhodes/Morrison for the Intercontinental Championship, and Kelly/Phoenix for the Divas' Championship. Since Rhodes/Morrison was unannounced and it was John Morrison instead of Ted DiBiase I got annoyed. I'm annoyed cause DiBiase is getting crushed, just atleast we know Morrison is out of his trouble due to Melina. So I guess that's good for MoFo's out their! As for the Divas match, it was a great Divas' match but I didn't think Natalya really need to use the Mic on Kelly Kelly to help Phoenix. That was just a low blow for Divas' and yet really violent since Divas' barely use weapons! Anyways as a result if I'm still using the 10-Star rating this would be a nice 8.5-Star rating for Hell in a Cell!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We come to the World Heavyweight Championship match, Randy Orton and Mark Henry face off in the ring. Orton makes some ways to fight Henry, but he charges back over powering Orton. Most of the match has Henry beating down Orton with him trying to fight back. Orton eventually hits several DDTs, before Mark Henry like injures Orton's leg making Orton unable to use the RKO with Henry flipping him into the World's Strongest Slam. Mark Henry wins the match and first World Championship, the crowd isn't really approving even thou most people wanted him to evenutally win it. Mark gets the mic and goes on how he will continue to dominate.
Backstage Alberto Del Rio walks around with John Lauriniatis talking about the WWE Championship. As Del Rio walked away CM Punk shows up and confronts him about how he talks load of crap. After the little run we get the Divas' Championship match. Kelly Kelly accompanied by Eve, as Beth Phoenix enters with Natalya with her hometown exploding for her.

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

Now we come to the Main Even finally the NO DQ match, CM Punk vs WWE COO Triple H. Punk attacks Triple H before he gets into the ring, leading to them quickly fight near the announce tables. Triple H almost Pedigrees, Punk on the table and Punk runs into the ring. The battle in the ring and back to ringside, Triple H uses the ring post and Punk uses the steps.

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!
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.

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!

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!

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.

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 Raw 8/22
Overview:
Raw starts with the WWE Champion, Alberto Del Rio making his entrance into the arena. During his entrance we get, clips of last week's title match when Del Rio defeated Rey Mysterio and leading into Cena coming to the ring. It is at this time we learn, Rey has got an injury and will be out for sometime. Ironically Alberta, Canada isn't to welcoming to Del Rio, as Cena quickly interrupts him. Cena goes on about Del Rio and Destiny, then introduces himself to Del Rio. Cena proclaims, he'll defeat Alberto and take the title back. CM Punk, then makes his entrance, calls Cena a re-run wanting a rematch for the title. Then Punk goes on how he should be No. 1 Contender, and how Cena has balls to ask for a shot first. Del Rio, then rants how it's his time. Punk then goes on about how he's getting screwed. CM Punk, then goes on how someone wants Del Rio to be the Champ, maybe it's the writing that has been on the walls since Del Rio was at Mania. Anyways Cena and Punk argue about their rematches, until WWE COO Triple H appears and settles things. Triple H, says Del Rio got the first match on the card and how he calls the shots for title matches. Where he states Del Rio will face whoever wins the third match between Punk and Cena.
After a commerical break, we discover who Del Rio will face it's John Morrison. The match opens up with them taking shots at one another. During the first five minutes or so it all stays in the ring, until leading outside the ring when John Morrison attempts a moonsault and misses. Following that it goes to another commerical break, coming back to them battle back into the ring. At this time Morrison is hitting several moves and counters, before finally leading to Del Rio's victory. As Morrison went for a Starship Pain, Del Rio yanked Morrison from the turnbuckle and threw him into the ring post before locking in the Cross Armbreaker for the submission win. Then following the match Del Rio continued to assualt Morrison's arm, in the Cross Armbreaker before finally releasing the hold to proclaim his victory.
The next match on the card was a Divas' match, Eve Torres vs Nikki Bella. Kelly Kelly and Brie Bella stood at ringside. The Bellas, tried some Twin Magic to help Nikki overpower Eve. Nikki, doesn't do much before Eve hit's her few signatures. As Eve attempts a Moonsault and pin the Brie distracts here leading to a counter which fails. Eventually Eve, makes a comeback and hits a Spinning Neckbreaker & Pin Combo for the win. After the match Kelly Kelly attacks Brie hitting here K2. Backstage, Kevin Nash enters the arena and greats some of the stage hands, leading to a commerical for the Live: Super SmackDown next tuesday.
We come back, to Raw with Vickie Guerrero saying she's now managing Jack Swagger too as he'll be facing Alex Riley in a rematch. They tie it up, and Jack comes out on top using his college-wrestling background. A-Ry counters with an amazing SpineBuster, as Ziggler comes down to ring side to argue with Vickie. During the arguement Jack reverses A-Ry and makes a comeback. Eventually thou Jack focuses too much on them arguing at ring side leading to A-Ry getting a roll up for the win. Backstage, Triple H heads back to the arena to confront Nash.
Triple H, comes back to the ring as clips of Summerslam are shown. Triple H then asks Kevin Nash to come out and face him. Nash, agrees and makes his way to the ring without a theme, yet again. Nash say he thought he was doing Triple H a solid and said, he'd apolizige to Punk but now changed his mind after last weeks words. Triple H, says he fight Nash and call him out since he doesn't work in WWE. Then Triple H asks him to leave where they're interrupted by Punk. Who is still trying to figure out who sent the text message, my answer still is John Laurinaitis. Punk then says how his going to cross the line, like Nash does before saying he's gonna kick Nash's ass. Triple H tries to pull Punk aside, and Punk pushes him away then calls him out. Triple H, then say he'd still fight Punk before Nash slugged him forcing Triple H to get Nash out of the arena.
Backstage, Triple H and Nash continue to argue about what he did before Nash leaves. Back ring side, we get a Tag Team Championship match! Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne team up to face the Champions, Otunga and McGillicutty. I serious can't believe any of these stupid teams should hold the tag titles, they're too half-assed not like BEER MONEY!! Well Evan and McGillicutty start the match, Bourne & Kofi begin to quickly take the lead with their high-flying offensive. The Tag Champs make a comeback through dirty tatics as usual cause they amazingly suck. The Champs being to eventually use old school tag team moves to beatdown Kofi, it was like something from the 80s. Bourne gets tagged in and he starts bringing the heat leading to him hitting an Air Bourne to win his first Championship with Kofi as his tag-partner.
After the match Josh Matthews gets a short interview with the New Tag Team Champions. Kofi and Evan get a surprise victory party, before we pan to Triple H who hears that Nash got into a car accident. The person who tells him is John Laurinaitis, so something is fishy here. The next match starts off with nothing, Santino got attacked by both Miz and R-Truth. The two then go on about ranting of conspiracies in the WWE, and go on about how they'll take opportunities from anyone.
With the main event starting, Del Rio and John Laurinaitis sat at ring side to watch the match. Cena and Punk tie it up fast, leading to several counters. The match, has as very fast pace leading several amazing moves. The crowd, eats this match while Cena and Punk try going for their finishers. Punk tried, a GTS and gets locked in the STF before hitting another GTS but only getting a 2-Count. Cena gets back up to go for an Attitude Adjustment, Punk goes for several elbows before finally falling into the AA. The battle heads to the turnbuckle, and Punk goes for a crossbody reversed into a AA clutch before rolling out into a Roundhouse Kick. As Punk goes for the GTS, Nash appears and comes to ring before falling into Cena's AA losing the match to him. Following Cena's win, Del Rio jumps Cena and beats him down while Laurinaitis tries to pull Del Rio off Cena. Del Rio slides through and jumps Cena again as it goes off air.
Review:
The opening promo, was alright and pretty good. I enjoyed the back and forth remarks of Cena and Punk. I enjoyed their arguement over the Number 1 Contendership, because Punk likes to point out how Cena's always Number 1 Contender. That was the best point of the arguement. The promo could've played out better but this had to stay PG. Anyways onto the opening matches, they weren't impressive at all nothing stood out. The Morrison/Del Rio match could've been played out longer, I mean it could've been almost as good as the past Del Rio/Bryan matches. It could've been the second best match of the night actually it still was, but that was just cause everything else sucked amazingly.
Following the Del Rio/Morrison match, the Diva match was worse than the past few in recent weeks and the A-Ry match was just another joke. The Tag Team Championship match was completely out of the blue but was worth it I guess, since Bourne and Kofi are better work horses. The main event was good, and the ending was completely foreshadowing since Laurinaitis is our new ASS Clown. Cena/Punk III, was great fast pace and enjoyable for 20 to 25minute match, it wasn't as good as Match I or II but it cut it well enough being it be live tv. Since practically the opening match and main event made the card and the few promos with Punk were good enough to get a large pop it made this Raw a good 3.5 Star rating. I really look forward to the "re-signing" of Kevin Nash and this rivalry with CM Punk, along with Laurinaitis undermining Triple's H at every corner it seems.
Raw starts with the WWE Champion, Alberto Del Rio making his entrance into the arena. During his entrance we get, clips of last week's title match when Del Rio defeated Rey Mysterio and leading into Cena coming to the ring. It is at this time we learn, Rey has got an injury and will be out for sometime. Ironically Alberta, Canada isn't to welcoming to Del Rio, as Cena quickly interrupts him. Cena goes on about Del Rio and Destiny, then introduces himself to Del Rio. Cena proclaims, he'll defeat Alberto and take the title back. CM Punk, then makes his entrance, calls Cena a re-run wanting a rematch for the title. Then Punk goes on how he should be No. 1 Contender, and how Cena has balls to ask for a shot first. Del Rio, then rants how it's his time. Punk then goes on about how he's getting screwed. CM Punk, then goes on how someone wants Del Rio to be the Champ, maybe it's the writing that has been on the walls since Del Rio was at Mania. Anyways Cena and Punk argue about their rematches, until WWE COO Triple H appears and settles things. Triple H, says Del Rio got the first match on the card and how he calls the shots for title matches. Where he states Del Rio will face whoever wins the third match between Punk and Cena.
After a commerical break, we discover who Del Rio will face it's John Morrison. The match opens up with them taking shots at one another. During the first five minutes or so it all stays in the ring, until leading outside the ring when John Morrison attempts a moonsault and misses. Following that it goes to another commerical break, coming back to them battle back into the ring. At this time Morrison is hitting several moves and counters, before finally leading to Del Rio's victory. As Morrison went for a Starship Pain, Del Rio yanked Morrison from the turnbuckle and threw him into the ring post before locking in the Cross Armbreaker for the submission win. Then following the match Del Rio continued to assualt Morrison's arm, in the Cross Armbreaker before finally releasing the hold to proclaim his victory.
The next match on the card was a Divas' match, Eve Torres vs Nikki Bella. Kelly Kelly and Brie Bella stood at ringside. The Bellas, tried some Twin Magic to help Nikki overpower Eve. Nikki, doesn't do much before Eve hit's her few signatures. As Eve attempts a Moonsault and pin the Brie distracts here leading to a counter which fails. Eventually Eve, makes a comeback and hits a Spinning Neckbreaker & Pin Combo for the win. After the match Kelly Kelly attacks Brie hitting here K2. Backstage, Kevin Nash enters the arena and greats some of the stage hands, leading to a commerical for the Live: Super SmackDown next tuesday.
We come back, to Raw with Vickie Guerrero saying she's now managing Jack Swagger too as he'll be facing Alex Riley in a rematch. They tie it up, and Jack comes out on top using his college-wrestling background. A-Ry counters with an amazing SpineBuster, as Ziggler comes down to ring side to argue with Vickie.

WWE Raw 8/15
Overview
Raw starts showing a brief promo of last night Summerslam's Main Event, where Punk won then had Alberto Del Rio cash in his Money in the Bank. Following the promo we cut to Triple H, apologizing about Cena's foot on the rope and missing it. Then going onto the Kevin Nash attack on Punk, and Del Rio's cash in to the MitB. Triple H, explains he didn't plan to have Nash attack him, but left him tickets to the event and then permitted Nash to come to Raw. Nash will then explain, his reason. As for Del Rio, he pretty much went with "That's how the cookie crumbles!" Followed by the New WWE Champion, Alberto Del Rio making his entrance.
Del Rio, introduces himself as the Undisputed WWE Champion and goes on about destiny. He even then goes on to say he loves the fans and didn't want to cash in at Summerslam, but after Nash got the surprise on the crowd he was cool with it. Then he rants that he's great and how he wants to be their Champion, along with facing Rey Mysterio tonight. He follows up with on how he still can't stand Mysterio, and how he wishes to continue to defeat him. The promo ends with Triple H, then backstage heading into John Cena's locker room.
The opening match on the card has R-Truth with a remix of "What's Up?!" facing off against John Morrison. The two brawl it out in the opening minutes, with R-Truth trying for a Roll-Up, leading to Morrison knocking him from the ring and a Suicide Dive. This is when I realized it was Falls Count Anywhere, when they went for pinfalls at ringside. After a commerical break we return to Morrison and R-Truth, with R-Truth taking control of the match. R-Truth, hits a few running knees and kicks followed by him knocking Morrison into the crowd(as I forget to record this part again). They spill back into the ringside area, when I finally turned the VCR back-on, Morrison suplexes R-Truth into the chair then hits him with a flying knee for the win. Following the match we see CM Punk, make his way into the arena.
A promo hits for the WWE Championship match, then we cut right to the Miz making his entrance. The Miz then comes out to talk about the Subway Guy, Jared! He goes, to the barricade and gets a sub from Jared and eats it in the ring. Then in the parking-lot, Kevin Nash arrives via a limo as we cut to a commerical.
We come back to a Divas' match, Kelly Kelly & Eve Torres facing off with Bella Twins. Kelly, starts the match with one of the Bellas'. I can't ever tell them apart quite honestly and they keep tagging in & out. Eventually Eve tags in gets the win, via moonsault and pinfall. Beth Phoenix and Natalya then make their way to the entrance ramp, before it turns to the last night's JackKnife to CM Punk.
Kevin Nash, gets a cool introduction leading to an okay entrance without a theme. Nash then goes to explain his story, about the tickets then the sneak attack on CM Punk. Kevin's excuse was that it was he told by a McMahon and it was just business as CM Punk, makes his way out to the ramp. Punk, then assumes that Nash and Triple H are working together about how they don't know good business. Leading to Punk saying how he can do whatever he wants. Then how, he's pissed off with several people but not Del Rio. Punk, follows up with Nash is out of his era where Nash retorts with NWO and how the business sucks. They continue to argue and Punk tries to make his way to the ring as the security team splits them up.
Kevin Nash, goes to Triple H's office and runs into John Laurnaitis. As you can obviously see, John is up to something. The next match to follow is Alex Riley against Jack Swagger, as Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero joins commentary. Jack, works on A-ry's back, and wears him down. A-ry, breaks out with a Spinebuster and starts to make a comeback. Vickie then creates a diverison allowing to Jack Swagger to beat A-ry, then Ziggler pisses off Jim Ross.
Vickie runs into Jack Swagger, where he hits on her. He then goes on a run of old managers, before leaving. Now we get another look at Fan Acess, which covers the same footage from the night before. Punk then runs into Stephanie for a brief minute, before going to another commerical break.
We come to another Tag Team Match, with Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston facing off with Otunga & McGillicuty. Evan, is double teamed in the opening minutes. Otunga and McGillicuty, over powers Evan cutting him off from Kofi. Evan, tags in Kofi and the pace picks up. Kofi does most of the work, as Evan gets the pin. Backstage, Rey Mysterio gets ready for his match for the WWE Championship.
Del Rio, is the first to make his entrance to the ring followed by Rey Mysterio. The match begins and they go for lock ups. Mysterio tries to go for a fast 619, and Del Rio jumps out of the ring to avoid it. We come back to the fighting in the ring and at ringside, Del Rio trys to get Mysterio's mask off at one point. Mysterio counters and hits a few moves, following to both competitors fighting on a turnbuckle. Mysterio, hits a hurricanrana then several other ones. Del Rio, fights back and tries wearing down Rey again. Mysterio breaks out and gets Del Rio, out of the ring leading to a moonsault and throwing Del Rio back in. Rey starts building up for a finish, while Del Rio clotheslines Rey back down. Del Rio, assualts Rey more as the fans chant for Rey while he gets kicked in the head. Rey lands a 619 but has the splash reversed into a roll up with Del Rio getting the pinfall and retaining the WWE Championship. Del Rio after the match, then continues to attack Rey as Cena comes down and save Rey from the Armbreaker. Cena then chews out Alberto Del Rio, for winning the WWE Championship and saying now he's a target!
Review:
This Raw wasn't impressive at all, and it could've been better. The opening promo, was okay and Del Rio's promo could've been a little bit better. Like he should've gone to trying to really make the crowd irate. I just didn't get into the whole thing quite frankly, I wanted the Kevin Nash thing sooner or at the end of the night. But we got the Kevin Nash/CM Punk confrontation in the middle of the RAW. Nash's entrance should've had his theme at least cause I hate when there's no music. The promo should've actually had Punk face to face with Nash, instead of Punk on the ramp and security dividing them. I really think, if WWE want to promote the return of Nash, this confrontation needed to be face to face and in the ring.
The matches however mostly sucked. There was only 2 matches that stood out, the Falls Count Anywhere Match and the WWE Championship match. Morrison and R-Truth could've been better if it had weapon involvement, if it was like No Holds Barred or Extreme Rules that match really could upset the Main Event even more. As for the WWE Championship match, I knew Rey wasn't going to win right from the beginning. Also the way Del Rio dominated the match wasn't even entertaining, I had no belief in Rey. As a result this Raw, could barely hit a 3-Star Rating from the fact the promos sucked compared to the last two weeks and only 2 matches stood out. Sorry if it pisses off huge Rey Mysterio fans and WWE fanatics but it's all true!

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!

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!

WWE Monday Night Raw 8/1
OVERVIEW:
Raw opened up to a promo video reviewing the Money in the Bank, and then end result to Mysterio vs Cena for the WWE Championship on last week's Raw. Following that they promoted Punk and the Cult of Personality. Leading right into the intro of Raw and CM Punk's entrance.
The crowd was mixed to entrance, the god damn C-Nation ruined the whole moment. Following the entrance, they cut a promo with Punk shouting "The Champ is Here!" Punk then revealed why he chose to stay, saying he's here to make it fun again and he's the Best in the World. Then Triple H soon came out, the crowd exploded! Triple H, then followed with why Punk was resigned along with JR, cause it was good for business. "Smug, Overrated, Attention Seeking Guy that puts too much stock in his own hype!" Triple H's view on CM Punk, and the crowd then switched for Punk. It's like this crowd was bipolar or something, they couldn't make up their minds. Hell then a battle of Egos ensued between Triple H and Punk. Until the "Pipe Bomb" went off.
Up next was some hype for a tag team match, Rey Mysterio & John Morrison vs the Miz & R-Truth and the Diva's Number 1 Contender Battle Royal. Leading to the first commerical break, of the night. We cut back to most of the Divas in the ring and Kelly Kelly joining commentary with JR, King and Cole. The match went fast as usual, and the new Contender for Kelly's Championship was the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix. Who then proceed to beat down Kelly following her victory. Leading to more hype for the tag team match, with a promo with Miz and R-Truth.
After the 2nd or 3rd commerical break we come back to a short promo with Josh Matthews and John Cena. Leading in to the tag match mentioned earlier, that lead into yet another commerical break. So far we had alot of hype, promos and commericals and no wrestling! Finally the match, began with Miz and Morrison, then a tag leading to another commerical break! This match began to suck and it probably was because R-Truth was in it or nothing fancy was really happening. The crowd was exploding thou mostly for Morrison, sadly thou his team lost and Miz & R-Truth won.
Following the Tag Match, Josh interviews Triple H about the earlier promo with Punk and the WWE Championship issue. Next we got a promo for Sheamus vs Mark Henry on Smackdown this week, and leading to US Champion Dolph Ziggler & Vikki Guerrero coming down to the ring. While on the name tag it promoted the release of his new edition of "I Am Perfection" on Itunes! Dolph then cut a promo about being one of the best right now on the roster, and pretty much giving an open challenge to which then Alex Riley came out to interrupt him. Riley then starts to tell Ziggler to kick Vikki aside and go his own way, the result being Dolph leaving the ring. As we cut to promotions for the WWE Championship Controversy and another Tag Team Match, New Nexus vs Santino & Zac Ryder!
This tag team match was better for the fact Long Island Iced-Z, Zac Ryder was in it. The crowd really wants him, the were exploding when he got tagged in. Then Michael Cole trashed Youtube, youtubers and Broskis everywhere! When will WWE fire Cole, he's the biggest tool in the freaking world. He's like some other tool I know who said a certain group of youtubers' had low quality videos. Just go check out Projektrdm's blog to find out who I mean. Anyways Ryder and Santino lost and we went into another boring set of commericals.
We come back to then a recap of the encounter between Triple H and CM Punk from about an hour prior. Then cutting to Punk in an interview with Josh Matthews, leading to a match with Alberto Del Rio against Evan Bourne. Leading to a fast pase match and Evan Bourne tapping out.
Finally we get to the end of the show and the commentary reveals a poll on who should be the real WWE Champion and it showed Cena 54% to Punk 46%. Leading to Triple H coming out to reveal what he's going to about the controversy, and then John Laurinaitis came out say John Cena should be striped of the title. John Cena then came out to tell off Laurinatis, creating more entertainment between the arugement. Laurinaitis left shortly when Cena said he'd punch him in the face. Triple H then said Punk was resigned when he came with contract signed and said my favorite quote "Now Hit My Music!" following into Punk also interrupting Triple H and John Cena. Then Triple H made the edict Cena vs Punk at Summerslam to see who will be the Undisputed WWE Champion, while taking his leave. Following with a face-off between our two Champion, with their music playing back and forth in a war of themes.
Review:
My review on this is that this was like that one TNA Impact where no wrestling happened, but at least had alot more better promos. The matches didn't really impress me, along with the fact being John Morrison and Zac Ryder were the only reasons those matches had large reactions until they lost. The opening promo was pretty good, have the battle of Egos. Especially when Punk tried calling out Triple H, lead to the whole Pipe Bomb jokes. Then the final edict to settle this issue was pretty good when Punk and Cena had that stand-off with the Theme War.
Other things to note were the Michael Cole's remarks toward Youtube. I know it's all fake but being a Youtuber and have to be told your videos are shit within about 2 weeks you get tired of hearing it. I seriously grown tired of Cole's bitching gimmick it's so bad he needs to be taken off air. Along with that I'm loving the whole spamming of Downstait themes like "I Came to Play", "Say it to My Face", and "I am Perfection(V2)"! But now this being the third Raw since Triple H's take over and having some bad or okay matches really made this Raw a 2.5 out of 5 Stars. That's all for now, but check in for more Raw Overviews/Reviews and other shows.

The Punk of Personality
On July 17 at WWE Money in the Bank, CM Punk defeated John Cena for the WWE Championship. That same night he walked away from the WWE and took the Championship with him. The following night on Monday Night Raw, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon stripped Punk of the championship and arranged an 8-man single elimination tournament to crown a new champion. The results would be Rey Mysterio and the Miz in finals which was then set to take place the following Raw, as Mr. McMahon was forced to resign as chairman with his son-in-law, Triple H taking over.
A week later on this most recent Monday Night Raw of July 25th, Rey Mysterio successfully defeat the Miz in the tournament finals to become WWE Champion. Eventually later on that night the new WWE COO Triple H would go on to make another championship match with Rey defending the title against John Cena who rightfully had a re-match cause that became nullified when Punk left the WWE. The match was actually a great match to remember going a full 20-mins, and had some memorable moments like when Rey locked Cena in his own STF, or the several finisher reversals each man made. The end result thou was John Cena defeating Rey Mysterio to become a 9-time WWE Champion.
But immediately following Cena's title win, Punk returned to WWE TV and held his belt up in defiance of Cena's win. Also debuting his new enterance theme back from his ROH days, "The Cult of Personality." The following night at the SmackDown! tapings, WWE COO Triple H announced that both men had legitimate claims to the title and the situation would be rectified the following Monday on RAW.
