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 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 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!
