Raw April 4th, 2011 (Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia)

--------------------------------------------------



Alex Riley-Ladies and gentlemen it is time to get on your feet and put your hands together for the man who made history last night at Wrestlemania. Bow down to your WWE Champion, THE MIZ!!!!

Click for Spoiler:

Michael Cole-YES! YES! YES! Here he comes, the most must see WWE Champion in history. He is the awesome one, he is THE MIZ! Welcome to Raw everyone and what an epic night last night at Wrestlemania XXVII. Like A-Ry said, Miz made history last night. The Miz became the first man to defeat John Cena one on one at Wrestlemania. How awesome is that!

The Miz-Last night in the Georgia Dome right here in Atlanta, Georgia I made history on the grandest stage of them all. I proved all the doubters wrong and I retained my WWE Championship!

Miz raises his custom championship as the crowd generates the heat The Miz is looking for.

Everyone doubted me and wrote me off as a paper champion. Everyone expected the almighty John Cena to take back his thrown atop the WWE, but the true face of this brand prevailed. Tsk tsk tsk. I should make each and everyone of you apologize for doubting my legitimacy as WWE Champion.

Click for Spoiler:

Michael Cole-Sorry to interrupt Miz, but I have received an e-mail from our anonymous Raw general manager. And I quote.

“First off Miz congratulations on retaining your championship last night at Wrestlemania, but don’t get too excited just yet. Extreme Rules is only three weeks away and we need to determine just what sort of match you and your opponent will be competing.”

The Miz-Really? Really? Really? You interrupt me to tell me what kind of match I have to compete in. Really? Really?

Michael Cole- “Tonight Miz you will be competing in a beat the clock challenge. You will go one on one with the debuting Sin Cara! Your opponent will be facing your apprentice Alex Riley in a beat the clock challenge. The winner will get to chose the stipulation of your match at Extreme Rules. Oh and Miz your opponent at Extreme Rules is none other than…JOHN CENA!”

Miz is furious as he stares a hole right through Michael Cole. Riley looks in shock as well as you can hear Miz mouth get it done to Riley.

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Michael Cole-Welcome back to Monday Night Raw and what a Wrestlemania last night. We saw our Miztoric champion the Miz retain his title and yours truly defeated you Jerry Lawler haha. But King I’m willing to let bygones be bygones. How bout it Jerry?

Jerry Lawler-You can thank your lucky stars that your buddy, our general manager saved your scrawny little butt last night.

Josh Mathews-That’s enough guys. Also last night at Wrestlemania, we saw the return to pay per view for The Rock. But that is not the last time we will see the Great One, as he will be here tonight. Can’t wait to hear what is on The Rock’s mind tonight.

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Dublin, Ireland weighing in at 272 lbs, the United States Champion…SHEAMUS!

Michael Cole-Here comes the real king Lawler, Sheamus. Sheamus broke the King of the Ring curse a few weeks back when he defeated that nerd Daniel Bryan for the US title. Now Sheamus looks to continue on his successful warpath on Raw.

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-And his opponent from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 242 lbs…RANDY ORTON!

Josh Mathews-Listen to the ovation for the Viper! Last night Randy Orton was successful in his quest to defeat CM Punk and you have to think Orton is going to use that momentum here against an opponent in Sheamus that he knows so well.

Click for Spoiler:

Referee Mike Chioda rings the bell for tonight’s opening contest on Raw. Orton’s knee is still bandaged up from the attack two weeks back from CM Punk. Orton and Sheamus lock up in the middle of the ring, but Sheamus shoves Orton off and kicks Orton’s injured knee causing him to fall to mat. Sheamus begins his offensive with numerous stomps on Orton’s knee, side and head. Orton tries to fend himself by pushing Sheamus away. Orton pulls himself up with help from the ropes and he kicks a charging Sheamus in the gut. Orton is still selling the knee injury and Sheamus charges again, this time connecting with another shot to Orton’s knee. Orton falls near the apron and Sheamus kicks Orton out of the ring. Orton falls to the outside with a thud and Sheamus is right there behind him. The United States champion lifts the injured Orton and throws him into the steel stairs. Orton connects with the stairs knee first and flips over the stairs. Chioda tries to hold Sheamus back as Orton rolls around holding his injured knee. Sheamus gets by despite Chiodas efforts. Sheamus lifts the ailing Orton up and clotheslines him back to the protective mats. Sheamus moves back to the stairs and removes the upper half of the stairs. Sheamus delivers a kick to Orton’s head and places the injured knee on top off the bottom region of the steel stairs. Chioda threatens to disqualify Sheamus, who is lifting up the upper portion of the stairs. Sheamus goes to slam the stairs down on Orton’s injured knee, but the Viper ducks out of the way in just the nick of time. Sheamus is furious as he seeks after Orton. Orton pulls himself up with help from the ring apron, but Sheamus nails him with a huge right hand and throws Orton back into the ring. Sheamus hops up on the apron, but is greeted with a thrust to the throat from Orton, sending Sheamus down on one knee. Orton is up, still limping and pulls Sheamus through the middle ropes and drops him with his patented Hangman DDT. Both men are now down as Orton crawls slowly towards Sheamus to make the cover.

KICK OUT!

Sheamus gets his shoulder up at 2 ½. Orton rolls off Sheamus and pulls himself up with the ropes as Sheamus begins to stagger to his feet. Both men are now up and meet in the center and alternate a round of right hands. Orton gains the edge and Irish Whips Sheamus across the ring and goes for a back body drop, but Sheamus counters with a kick to the face followed by his trademark Spinning Double Axe Handle. This sends Orton to the mat and allows Sheamus to make the cover.

2…
KICK OUT!

Orton manages to get out right before Chioda hit 3. Sheamus argues before setting his sights back on Orton. Orton is slow to his feet and Sheamus charges, going for the Brogue Kick. Orton ducks out of the way and nails the turning Sheamus with a Scoop Slam. Sheamus is down and Orton throws himself down to the mat and starts pounding away, setting up for an evident RKO. Sheamus is slow to his feet, but is immediately dropped with a RKO.

1…
2…
3!

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match by pinfall…RANDY ORTON!

Josh Mathews-And just like that the Viper can strike. Randy Orton, despite the injured knee, continues on his impressive hot streak.

Orton is now up and looks over at Sheamus, who is in prime position to get Orton’s trademark punt.

Michael Cole-Oh come on now, this isn’t necessary. There is no need for Orton to do this to Sheamus. Orton got the victory, isn’t that enough?

CM Punk-Bravo Randall, bravo. I got to give it to you Randall, but you’ve impressed me. First you take out my whole Nexus group and then, despite me put a wrench into your knee you come back and defeat me at Wrestlemania. Well played Randall, well played. But this isn’t over. You see Randall this just makes me want to take you out even more than I did before and I’m not gonna stop until that gets done. By seeing you completely destroy my New Nexus in a matter of weeks I knew they weren’t good enough for me.


Josh Mathews-What the? Is that Skip Sheffield?

Sheffield nails Orton from behind with a club to the back of the head. Sheffield now goes to town on the injured knee of Randy Orton. Sheffield now stalks Orton as Randy pulls himself to his feet, until Sheffield nearly takes Orton’s head off with a huge clothesline. CM Punk has now made his way into the ring.

CM Punk-You see Randall Keith Orton, you may have taken out my New Nexus, but you forgot one of the original Nexus members, Skip Sheffield. I realized that what I have here in Skip is more than what I had with the whole New Nexus. Skip Sheffield is my New Nexus.

Punk drops his mic and orders Sheffield to lift Orton up. Sheffield lifts Orton’s motionless body and places it atop of CM Punk’s waiting shoulders. Punk has a sinister smile on his face as he drops Orton with a GTS. Punk falls to the ground, mimicking Orton and slithers his way and stares at Orton, who is out cold. Punk begins to laugh as Sheffield hovers above.

Michael Cole-This is what Randy Orton deserved. All the pain and suffering he put the New Nexus through is now worthless as Skip Sheffield has completely destroyed Randy Orton in mere seconds.

Josh Mathews-We haven’t seen Sheffield since his severe injury back in August. What a huge pickup for CM Punk.

Jerry Lawler-Sheffield means business, but you know you can’t count Randy Orton out just yet. The Viper is bound to make a counterstrike.

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Justin Roberts-This match is scheduled for one fall and it is a beat the clock challenge match.

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-Introducing first from Washington DC, weighing in at 251 lbs…ALEX RILEY!

Michael Cole-YES! It’s A-Ry. Miz knows he is in good hands with Alex Riley tonight.

Jerry Lawler-What are you talking about Cole? Has Riley ever even beat Cena? If anything Miz should be worried tonight.

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-And his opponent from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing in at 250 lbs…JOHN CENA!

Josh Mathews-And here comes John Cena. You gotta think Cena isn’t in the best of moods considering the outcome last night at Wrestlemania. I’d be a bit worried if I was Alex Riley right now.

Click for Spoiler:

Justin King is the referee for this bout and we are underway. The clock begins to tick away on the titantron, as Alex Riley and Cena meet in the middle of the ring. Riley stares Cena in the face, talking smack. Cena looks on as Riley now drives his finger into Cena’s chest. Cena has seen enough and clocks Riley with a huge right hand. Riley staggers back and Cena whips him into the ropes and nails a huge back body drop. Riley holds his back as he rolls around on the mat. Cena lifts Riley up, but sends him right back down with a Fisherman Suplex. Cena goes for the cover.

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

Riley just gets his shoulder up as we are approaching the three minute mark of the match. Cena goes over to Riley and pulls him off the mat, but Riley nails Cena with a shot to the midsection. Riley capitalizes and drops Cena with a DDT. Riley is quick to his feet as he hovers over Cena shouting insults. Riley drops an elbow across Cena’s chest and goes right into the cover.

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

Cena manages to throw Riley off right as Justin King hits two. Riley stays on the offensive and kicks Cena in the back of the neck as he is getting up. Riley drags Cena over to the ropes and Riley hops on the second rope and goes for an elbow drop, but Cena moves out of the way. Cena is the first to his feet as he looks up at the clock, now approaching the six minute mark. Riley is up, holding his elbow and he charges Cena. Cena ducks and grabs Riley and drops him with a Spin Out Powerbomb. Cena raises his hand in the air to a mix reaction from the Phillips Arena. Cena does his trademark “You Can’t See Me” pose and nails Riley with some Five Knuckle Shuffle. Cena has his eyes on the clock, now at seven minutes. Riley is slow to his feet as he needs support from the ropes to pull himself up. Riley is up and stumbles around and Cena lifts him up for the Attitude Adjustment. Cena has him set and throws Riley to the mat and goes right for the cover.

1…
2…
3!

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match in seven minutes and thirty-three seconds…JOHN CENA!

Josh Mathews-What a time set by John Cena. Riley looked to have Cena early, but in John Cena fashion he pulled the comeback and defeated Riley in great fashion.

Jerry Lawler-Cena may have won himself the choice of the stipulation with that performance. I’m not sure Miz will be able to top that.

Michael Cole-Cena this and Cena that. You two really need to get a life. Miz can beat that Rey Mysterio wannabe in under five minutes. And you can quote me on that!

[Theodore Evelyn Maysby]

Scott Stanford-Joining me at this time is the Prince of Parkour himself, John Morrison. Last night at Wrestlemania you and your teammates, Trish Stratus and Snooki were successful in your bout against Dolph Ziggler and Laycool. Tell me what it was like to win on the grandest stage of them all.

John Morrison-It was awesome Scott. I mean you walk out and the 70,000 plus are on their feet and it just sends chills down your back. And of course anything to shut up Vickie Guerrero makes things that much better.

Vickie Guerrero-EXCUSE ME!!!

John Morrison-Uhh I spoke to soon. I guess there is no shutting her up.

Vickie Guerrero-You do not talk to me like that John Morrison. You will treat me with respect. Must I remind you that I have a pinfall victory over you. Last night at Wrestlemania you got lucky. If you and my associate, Dolph Ziggler, had another match there is no way that you would win. I mean look at you Morrison, you have nothing on Dolph. He is better looking, he has better hair, a better body, and more importantly he has been a world champion. What have you done?

John Morrison-You’re right Vickie, I’ve never been world champion. I can take pride in the fact that I actually am working my way up to the top instead of your “associate”. You tell Ziggler that if he wants a match, he knows where to find me.

Morrison and Vickie stare each other down. Vickie looks flustered and she goes to slap Morrison, but he blocks the slap. Vickie screams and runs off scream as Morrison watches on.



Josh Mathews-It looks like things aren’t over between John Morrison, Vickie Guerrero, and Dolph Ziggler.

Michael Cole-John Morrison needs a lesson on how to treat a woman with respect. Vickie Guerrero is an elegant and beautiful creation and she deserves to be treated that way.

Jerry Lawler-Since when did a hippopotamus become a beautiful and elegant creation?

Michael Cole-Shut your mouth Lawler! It’s people like you that causes the youth of America to…

Josh Mathews-Sorry to cut you off Cole, but I’ve just received word that coming up next The Rock will be addressing the WWE Universe. This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for and it is just moments away!


***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Click for Spoiler:

Josh Mathews-I think the roof just blew off the Phillips Arena here in Atlanta, Georgia. The Rock has promised to speak his mind here tonight. You know Rocky is going to give us his thoughts on his Wrestlemania and of course his involvement in the WWE Championship match.

The Rock-Finally The Rock has come back to Atlanta. And last night The Rock made his triumphant return to Wrestlemania and just as The Rock promised the show was electrifying. Now before the Great One gets carried away, I made a point at Wrestlemania. And I made that point to that giant bowl of fruity pebble crap, John Cena. You see Cena, you want to adjust The Rock’s attitude? You think you can just lay your hands on the Great One? You made a great big mistake John Cena and last night I made you pay for it. John Cena last night you had to pay the piper courtesy of The Rock. And Miz you were just icing on the cake. Don’t think The Rock likes you Miz. In fact Miz, The Rock can’t stand your candy ass, but this war between me and John Cena became personal and I wasn’t letting that yabba dabba bitch stay one up on the Great One.

Click for Spoiler:

Michael Cole-Can I have your attention please? I have just received an email from our anonymous Raw general manager. And I quote.

The Rock-And I quote that you better sit your candy ass back down before I take that little laptop, turn it sideways and stick it straight up your candy ass. How dare you try and interrupt the Great One Michael Cole.

Michael Cole-I will not sit my candy ass down Rock. You have no authority over me. And I quote.

“Rock, what gives you the right to touch this laptop? All that you have done Rock has been much appreciated leading Wrestlemania in becoming the most electrifying one yet. But Wrestlemania has come and gone Rock and your presence is no longer needed.”

The Rock-Wo wo wo wo wo WO! Nobody and The Rock means…NOBODY can tell The Rock what to do and tell The Rock when he is needed. The Rock is going nowhere.

Click for Spoiler:

Michael Cole-And I quote.

“Big mistake Rocky. Now I have to embarrass you by sending security out to escort your candy ass out of the arena. Is that how you really want these fans to remember you by Rock?

Security heads to the ring as Rock drops his mic and awaits them. Security enters the ring and Rock clears house. Rock is laying the smackdown and clears the ring of the GM’s security staff.

The Rock-You want The Rock to leave? You really want The Rock to leave? Well you got your wish you little piece of technological crap. But let The Rock tell you this. The Rock knows, no The Rock guaran-DAMN-tees that this isn’t the last you will see of the Great One. The Rock promised he would never leave and The Rock will not break that promise. I will be back and you can bank on that.

The crowd erupts as Rock’s music hits as he celebrates one last time in a WWE ring. You can see the emotion in Rock’s face as he says his goodbyes.

Michael Cole-Good. We don’t need that bully running around here anymore. He had his fun, now get back to Hollywood you bully!



***COMMERCIAL BREAK***



Josh Mathews-Welcome back to Raw and controversy flew through the Phillips Arena before the break. The Rock came out to address the crowd, but was told to leave courtesy of our anonymous general manager. The Rock vowed he would never leave, but you have to ask if this is the last we will see of The Rock here in the WWE.

Michael Cole-Who cares Josh. Speaking of not care, looks like we are going to be bored to death with a divas match here.

Justin Roberts-Currently in the ring Brie and Nikki…THE BELLA TWINS!

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-And their opponents, Gail Kim and the Divas Champion…EVE!

Jerry Lawler-C’mon Cole, how can you not be excited for Divas action!

Michael Cole-Only thing that could make this worse is if that nerd Daniel Bryan was out here with Gail Kim. Wake me when this is over.

Click for Spoiler:

Referee for this match is Jack Doan. Doan rings the bell and Gail Kim and Nikki Bella start off the action. Nikki is talking smack towards Gail and shoves her. Gail shakes it off and charges at Nikki, tackling her to the ground. The two divas roll around the mat, slamming their opponents head onto the mat. Doan steps in and breaks up the catfight. The divas lock back up and Gail gains the advantage with a headlock. Nikki breaks it and shoves Gail into the ropes. Nikki falls to the ground and Gail gallops over her. Nikki is back up and nails Kim with a huge kick to the face. Nikki goes straight for the cover.

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

Nikki keeps on the offensive and drags Kim into the Bellas corner. Nikki makes the tag into Brie. Brie places her foot across the throat of Gail Kim and breaks the hold after a four count from Jack Doan. Brie argues with Doan, meanwhile Nikki chokes Gail Kim in the corner. Eve tries to get involved, but that leads to a double team from the Bellas. Brie drags Gail out of the corner and makes the cover.

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

Brie, just like Nikki stays on the offensive and locks in a headlock submission. Brie yells at Doan to ask Kim if she quits, but to no avail. The crowd quietly gets behind Kim, who is up to her feet. Gail breaks the hold with a rally of elbows to Brie’s midsection. Gail bounces off the ropes and takes Brie down with a clothesline. Eve tries to get the crowd behind them as she stomps the apron. Gail Kim slowly crawls to make the tag. Eve enters the match and Brie makes the tag to Nikki. Eve greets Nikki with a kick to the gut, followed by a clothesline. Eve encourages Nikki to get up and she immediately takes her down with a hip toss. Eve awaits Nikki to get up, but is distracted by Brie. Gail Kim enters the ring and knocks Brie off the apron. Kim dives to the outside with her and the two begin to brawl. Eve watches on and Nikki sneaks up and rolls Eve up with a school girl.

1…
2…
3!

Justin Roberts-The winners of the match by pinfall…THE BELLA TWINS!

Eve is shocked as Nikki quickly rolls out of the ring and Brie escapes the grasp of Gail Kim. The Bellas dance in celebration as Eve can’t believe her and Kim lost the match.

Michael Cole-Finally it is over! That was torturous.

Jerry Lawler-This has to put the Bellas back into the title picture as they score a win over the champion.

Josh Mathews-Twin magic is in the air King.

[Theodore Evelyn Maysby]

Scott Stanford-Ladies and gentlemen, John Cena. John tonight you set an impressive time mark with a seven minute and thirty-three second victory over Alex Riley. Do you think Miz has what it takes to defeat that time?

John Cena-Honestly Scott you can’t count out The Miz. You never know what the kid has up his sleeve. He’ll definitely have his hands full tonight with Sin Cara. I’ve seen footage and the guy is going to do some great things here in the WWE.

Scott Stanford-One more question John. Before the break we saw The Rock leave following an announcement from the Raw general manager. Thoughts?

John Cena-You know I could be the company man and just thank Rock for what he did and welcome him back with open arms, but I can’t do that. Rock and I have been at a war of words for weeks now and last night he cost me the chance at retaining the WWE Championship. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was all a ploy by Rocky to leave on “good terms”. Rock is obviously going back to Hollywood to films his movies and bring it via satellite.

Josh Mathews-Some harsh words there from John Cena regarding The Rock. Coming up next we will see the aforementioned Sin Cara making his debut against the WWE champion, The Miz.

Michael Cole-Miz is gonna destroy this Rey Mysterio wannabe. Hopefully Sin Cara wasn’t looking to make an impact in his debut because he stands no chance against the Awesome One.

Jerry Lawler-For crying out loud Cole, shut up! Miz should be thankful that Rock helped him retain his championship. His luck is going to run out sooner or later Cole.

Justin Roberts-This match is scheduled for one fall and it is a beat the clock challenge. If Miz doesn’t win the match with in 7:33, John Cena will chose their match stipulation at Extreme Rules. If Miz beats the clock he will chose the match stipulation.

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-Introducing first from Cleveland, Ohio weighing in at 231 lbs, the WWE champion…THE MIZ!

Michael Cole-Stand up you fools and treat the WWE champion with respect. You two will be eating your words in just a few minutes as Miz is going to rid Monday Night Raw of this faceless loser. All hail the Awesome One.



Jerry Lawler-And he claims where the losers. You ever think Cole that maybe you are the loser?

Michael Cole-Be quiet Lawler. Maybe you wouldn’t be so bitter if I hadn’t kicked your butt at Wrestlemania.

Josh Mathews-Come on guys, lets not do this again. Coming up next we will see the Miz go one on one with the debuting Sin Cara.



***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-And his opponent making his Monday Night Raw debut from Mexico City, weighing in at 175 lbs…SIN CARA!!!

Josh Mathews-A legend in Mexico, Sin Cara looks to make a name for himself here in the WWE.

Jerry Lawler-And there is no better way to debut than defeating the WWE champion.

Michael Cole-You’re too funny King. There is no way that this runt is going to defeat The Miz. Keep dreaming loser.

Click for Spoiler:

Referee Mike Chioda is back to call this match up. Chioda rings the bell and we are under way. Miz doesn’t seem to worried about the time as he laughs and mocks Sin Cara’s size. Sin Cara stands there, seemingly unaffected by Miz’s bullying. Miz points at his chin, allowing Sin Cara to make the first move. Miz keeps pointing at his chin as Sin Cara just stands there. Miz is now irritated by the lack of emotion shown by Sin Cara. Miz goes for the first blow, but Sin Cara blocks it and nails Miz with a fury of rights, followed by a throat thrust, sending Miz to the mat. Sin Cara takes off like a rocket and springboards off the middle rope and nailing the turning Miz with a crossbody into a pinfall.

1…
KICK OUT!

Miz manages to push Sin Cara off and is quick to his feet and rams his knee into the ribcage of Sin Cara. Miz shakes off the cob webs as he lifts Sin Cara up and slaps him in the face. Miz now backs Sin Cara into a corner and fires away with lefts and rights. Miz ends his attack with a huge kick to the face. Miz slaps his hands together, thinking the job is done. Miz turns and charges at the motionless Sin Cara and nails his trademark corner clothesline. Sin Cara slides to the mat as Miz’s face is now graced with an arrogant smile. Miz removes himself from the ropes and looks up at the clock, which reads 3:20. Miz is quick to the cover.

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

Sin Cara gets his shoulder up just in time as Miz argues with Chioda about the count. Miz turns his attention back to Sin Cara. Sin Cara is up on one knee and Miz makes his attack. However Sin Cara counters and trips Miz, who falls to the mat. Sin Cara is quick to his feet and graciously nails Miz in the side of the head with a huge sidekick. Miz looks out of it as the crowd erupts. Sin Cara heads to the top rope and nails Miz with a beautiful moonsault. Sin Cara is right on with the cover.

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

Sin Cara heads right back to the ropes and awaits Miz to get up. Miz is wobbly and slow to his feet and Sin Cara dives off the ropes, but Miz counters it with a vicious big boot. Miz is still woozy as he looks at the clock and sees that it just reached the six minute mark. Miz knows his time is running low and he goes to nail Sin Cara with the Skull Crushing Finale, but Sin Cara rolls out of it and gets Miz in a backslide.

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

Both men are right back up on their feet and Miz goes for another big boot, but Sin Cara rolls underneath. Sin Cara again springboards off the ropes, but Miz catches the crossbody with a knee to the sternum. Miz has fifteen seconds as the crowd counts down. Miz grabs Sin Cara and tries another Skull Crushing Finale. Sin Cara wriggles around, but Miz finally manages to finish him off. Miz goes for the cover.

1…

*Ding ding ding*

Miz thinks he has won the match and the right to choose the stipulation at Extreme Rules. Mike Chioda heads over to talk with Justin Roberts about the official decision.

Justin Roberts-Ladies and gentlemen the winner of the beat the clock challenge…JOHN CENA!!!

Miz’s draw drops to the floor and he starts shouting at Chioda to change the decision, but there is nothing he can do.

Michael Cole-NO!!! No no no NOOOOO!!!! This is a travesty, a hate crime against the Awesome One. This whole thing is a conspiracy theory to get John Cena the upper hand in the title match. This isn’t fair!

Jerry Lawler-Looks like you have to eat your words Cole. Your boy Miz couldn’t back you up and now John Cena gets to choose the stipulation.

Click for Spoiler:

Cena comes up laughing and grinning from ear to ear. Miz is still in awe for the situation. Cena stands on the stage scratching his chin. Cena shrugs his shoulders and gives the Miz his trademark “You Can’t See Me” taunt on the stage.

Josh Mathews-I don’t think John Cena could be happier. What stipulation will Cena chose and could the Miz’s championship reign be in jeopardy? Join us next week on Monday Night Raw. Good night.

The screen fades as you can still here Cole faintly saying “this is not fair” as the show goes off air.

[GLOBAL ICON]

Hey Theo. Great show to start things off man. It was absolutely and totally awesome. Good to see you bring in Sin Cara. The matches were... great. Nice idea of the beat the clock challenge. Something new. Looking forward to the next show. Good luck (also to No. 1 Peep) and keep it up. Thanks for giving us such a great show. Also, here's what I think about you: Theo...defines Book This!

[Jon Jones' Jobber]

Nice job Theo really enjoyed the show. I would like to touch on a couple of points however. Firstly the opening segment was for my mind, to short. Miz should of had more time to speak about his huge victory. He has just beaten John Cena, I doubt he would only say four lines worth of promo. Maybe a little more next week hey.

I notice you don't have that many backstage segments and stuff. It seems to go from match to match, maybe a short interview or something? I don't know, just something to fill it in. Your match writing has always been very good, one of the best here. I enjoyed every match on the card to tell you the truth.

I LOVED The Rock segment, you hit a home run with that. Could have been longer but you got the message across fine. This may not be a huge review but I couldn't find anything major that was wrong. You did a fine job with this show, and I look forward to reading more.

[GCB]

Welcome back Theo, let's have a look at your take on the RAW situation after WM27 then ...

Extreme Rules: Miz vs. Cena. OK, I'll go with it. It didn't excite me on the Road to WM so I think you need to inject something that was missing at Mania due to the Rock. Beat the Clock challenge - will it be Miz or Cena that just misses out? I'll go for Miz and Cena gets to choose the stip. Not sure on Miz vs. Sin Cara for a debut for the hyped up Mexican though ...

Orton beats Sheamus, RKO, good first match, well written. Easy to read and follow, I like it. I think I could learn a little from your matches. Punk out, continue that feud - completely agree. Skip Sheffield! Nice move, I think Skip could be a bit of a monster if used right. Punk's right hand man - or demolition man - could be a great move. Orton is in trouble here!

Cena beats A-Ri in 7:33 - surprised it took so long. I guess you need to make Sin Cara and Miz look good later but I think Cena would beat Riley much quicker. Maybe a different opponent for Cena would have been a good move? Anyway, I fully expect Miz to win later in 7:32 or 7:34 ... edging to the latter!

John Morrison and Vickie Guerrero. Meh. I'm not a fan of JoMo, Snooki killed this feud at Mania. I'd give Ziggles and Morrison a break for now and come back to it later. However, you're going for it - needs something big to make me interested if I'm honest mate.

Here comes the Rock! Big announcement or a farewell? GM interrupting the Rock and Cole standing up to it - hmmm. Cole still needs a good slapping, you've shown that through the show so far with his snidy comments to Lawler. Will Rock provide it? Err, no. Rock is on his way out, promises to be back. I guess you're saving Rocky for later ...

Bellas vs. Eve/Gail. Cole's comments are good, I like the way he is disrespecting Eve all the time. Something needs to come of this, remember that Lawler likes Eve a lot. Bellas win, well I never! Divas Title match to come?

Cena promo on Rock - gold. You got him perfect. I think you're going to bring Rock back for Summerslam. For now, he's gone off back to Hollywood. Main event time: will Miz defeat Sin Cara? Yes he will but a second too late!!!! I was right! I'll discuss Sin Cara in a mo but Cena will choose the stipulation. I hope you can make it a good one, Cena-Miz needs one IMO. I didn't like Sin Cara debuting with a loss, got to admit. I know that technically Miz ran out of time but it does nothing for Sin Cara to be almost beat either. You could have fed the likes of Truth and Bourne to Miz here and it would have been better.

Overall, love the presentation - simple and clear. A good first show, looking forward to the next RAW. Shall try and get over to Peep's SMACKDOWN show now!

#1Peep's RAW Review!

Here we go Theo my friend, time to finally get a review down for your show. As it has been a couple of weeks since I first read your show I will (basically) be doing a live review. Just a little note, when I read and write shows I like to imagine every detail so I can get fully 'immersed', if you know what I mean. Love the opening lines from Riley, Cole and Miz but it would have been better if the champ could have gone on and said a heck of a lot more... he beat Cena at WM... he should he proclaiming he IS the WWE not just it's champion. I like how Cena was given a rematch instead of having to earn it since he was basically screwed out of the title due to The Rock. I don't know about debuting Sin Cara but we will see how it goes.

I don't often watch the Youtube video entrances but I like how you have put them into tags so if it does enhance someones enjoyment of the BT, it's there. Nice opening match between Sheamus and Orton as you made both men look strong despite the Irishman coming out on the losing end. Good dialogue from Punk and the destruction of the New Nexus is a great idea that needed to be done as they were practically worthless at this point after Orton was done with them. Loved this whole segment as Punk come across just as he is on TV (evil) and the inclusion of Skip, who I believe could be a huge star, into the mix was well done. Especially liked the Punk 'slither' before he dropped Orton with the GTS. It was the obvious, but obviously right move to have Cena go over Riley but it was nice to see Riley got some offense in during the middle of the match.

With Morrison, I would try to keep him off the mic as much as possible and this is what was done as you got Vickie in there. A Morrison/ Dolph feud is a good way to go as they have a really nice in ring chemistry. Once again, I think the Rock should have talked a little bit more but what was said was great writing. Nice back and forth between Rocky and Cole with Cole standing his ground against the Great One. Segment really picked up as Rock initally refused to leave and destroyed the security team before leaving on his own accord. Rock is sure to have an impact in the near future and I am looking forward to reading what will happen, awesome segment. Just like Cole, I don't care much for Diva matches but nice to see the talented twins pick up the victory with a bit of Twin Magic. You really gave Sin Cara some great offense and allowed him to show off of his stuff to the WWE Universe whilst also making Miz look strong as he had the match in hand if it wasn't for the time limit. I probably wouldn't have had a huge star like Cara be hit with the SCF, maybe countered it at the last second so he didn't look weak.

Overall, really, really great show Theo! The lay out is easy and enjoyable to read and you have some great storylines being set up for Extreme Rules and in the future (Rock). Loved Cole's little rants throughout the show and you really captured his annoying, pain in the ass personality.

Raw April 11th, 2011 (Webster Bank Arena at Harbor Yard in Hartford, Connecticut)

--------------------------------------------------


Raw opens with Miz, dressed in a suit and championship belt draped across his shoulder, standing in the ring alone.

The Miz-Turn off the lights and put me under the spotlight I truly deserve. Michael Cole, would you please get up and unplug our general manager. Now last week I was rudely interrupted in what should have been my time. I defeated John Cena at Wrestlemania and I am the WWE Champion and yet I still get disrespected around here. I am the most must see champion in this industry. I am the new face of the WWE. No one deserves this spotlight more than me. I don’t care that I have to face John Cena again at Extreme Rules. Honestly I look forward to once again beating your beloved John Cena. I don’t care about the beat the clock challenge last week, I don’t care what stipulation Cena chooses. All I care about is getting what I deserved. Last week should have been the most celebrated moment you people have ever seen. It should have been a moment that people would tweet their friends about, that newspapers would rage about, and history books would brag about. However the only thing anyone was talking about was John Cena and The Rock. Remind me again which one of them is WWE champion? That’s right, neither of them. I am the WWE champion. I am who everyone should be talking about. I deserve my time and I will get my time. Last week I had a huge celebration planned, but the anonymous Raw general manager just had to go about his business to ruin it. Tonight there won’t be a celebration, tonight is all about me getting the time I deserve. And come May 2nd there will be even more reason to celebrate as I will be 24 hours removed from defeating John Cena in the match of his choosing. Because I’m The Miz and I’m…

AWWWWWWWESOOOMEEEE!!!!!!!

Michael Cole-Do you hear what the Awesome One is saying? Get on your feet and bow to this man. It is time for The Miz to get the credit he deserves.

Josh Mathews-Welcome to Monday Night Raw. I’m Josh Mathews and as always I’m joined by Michael Cole and Jerry “The King” Lawler. So deep words from The Miz guys as he feels he has been disrespected.

Michael Cole-Can you blame him Josh? He speaks the truth. He continually gets disrespected around here. He is the WWE Champion for crying out loud.

Jerry Lawler-Would you shut your pie hole Cole. Who knows what would have happened if The Rock hadn’t got involved.

Michael Cole-You’re just jealous Lawler. Jealous of the fact The Miz has accomplished thus far is far superior to anything you’ve accomplished in your so-called illustrious career.

Jerry Lawler-Someone needs to beat some sense into you.

Michael Cole-You had your chance Lawler, but you blew it at Wrestlemania. I am Mr. Wrestlemania Lawler and you are just a nobody.

Michael Cole-Blah blah blah. Submission wrestling, blah blah blah. Only way to make Daniel Bryan more boring is to give him a microphone. Send this guy back to the Indies please.

Josh Mathews-I don’t get your hatred for Daniel Bryan Cole. Since Bryan has comeback he has been one of the best performers in the WWE. He even scored pinfall victories over your beloved Miz.

Bryan is slow to get up, but Sheamus takes him out immediately with a Brogue Kick that nearly sends Bryan’s head into the 5th row. Sheamus is quick on the cover.

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match by pinfall and still the United States Champion…SHEAMUS!

Josh Mathews-And Sheamus retains his United States Championship. But you have to give it to Daniel Bryan for hanging in there for as long as you could.

Michael Cole-Why should I give Daniel Bryan credit for anything? He is a loser and he proved that here tonight once again.

Jerry Lawler-Would you shut your pie hole Cole or do I have to do it for you? Yeah Daniel Bryan lost the match, but he gave a hell of an effort in attempting to recapture the United States championship. Sheamus was just too much for Bryan to handle tonight.

John Cena is walking around backstage talking to backstage personnel and shaking hands, all smiles.

Josh Mathews-There you see the number one contender to Miz’s WWE championship, John Cena. Cena is on his way to the ring and will announce the stipulation to his match with Miz at Extreme Rules and that’s coming up next!


***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

[Theodore Evelyn Maysby]

Click for Spoiler:

Josh Mathews-Here he is guys, John Cena! We all know Cena won the opportunity to pick the match stipulation for his WWE championship match between Miz at Extreme Rules. We know Cena has announced he will make the announcement tonight and I can’t wait to hear it.

John Cena-Do you know how excited I am? You’d think for a guy who lost at Wrestlemania I’d be down in the dumps, but I couldn’t be better. My verbal war with The Rock is over and now I have another opportunity to win back the WWE Championship. This time there will be no outside interference from the “Great One”. And to add the whipped cream to the pie I have the right to choose the match between The Miz and myself. Before I get to that I need to address The Miz. I hear what you are saying Miz and shockingly enough I agree with you. You have been seen as an afterthought and that was wrong of me. You, not The Rock, should have had my full attention at Wrestlemania. I will warn you Miz, now that you have my full attention you won’t like the outcome. On May 1st I set out to get back my WWE championship. I know I get the opportunity to pick the match, but I really don’t care what the match is. I’m more focused than I’ve ever been. I’ve always been about the people, so lets check what the people think.

John Cena’s twitter page appears on the titantron with a bunch of mentions from fans as to what match Cena should pick.

John Cena-Ahh a flaming tables match. That sounds extreme. Steel cage match, don’t have to worry about Alex Riley. Barbed wire rope match, do I look like Terry Funk and Mick Foley? Stop right there. Last Man Standing match, YES! That’s it right there. Last Man Standing. No pinfalls, no submissions, no countouts, and no disqualifications. Come Extreme Rules Miz, I will be the Last Man Standing and the champ will once again be here!

Michael Cole-Can Cena be any more lame? Seriously you are going to let some wrestling fan from the internet determine this. Are you an idiot Cena?

Josh Mathews-I thought it was a great idea Cole. Cena has always been about the people and a Last Man Standing match is the ultimate endurance contest for two superstars. Excellent choice by John Cena.

Michael Cole-John Cena has clearly lost his mind. He has obviously been hit on the head entirely too much throughout his career. In fact he shouldn’t be allowed to wrestle a match until his head is fully checked. There is no way that Cena’s brain is mentally stable to compete.

Jerry Lawler-Cole would you please shut your mouth. Stop your complaining. Your little lover boy The Miz will have to deal with it Cole. So you might as well also. Get over it.



Sin Cara is walking around backstage greeting people until he bumps into United States Champion, Sheamus.

Sheamus-Watch where you’re walkin’ fella.

Sin Cara puts his hands up in apologetic terms, but Sheamus looks on confused.

Sheamus-Who do you think you are huh? You think that you can just come to Raw and walk around like you’re a big shot?

Sin Cara looks on, speechless, as Sheamus continues to get heated up.

Sheamus-I am the United States Champion and you will treat me as so fella, ya understand?

Sin Cara nods his head, but Sheamus disapproves. Sheamus grabs Sin Cara by the head and shoves him to the ground. Sheamus unstraps his title and hovers over Sin Cara.

Sheamus-Do you see this? This title entitles greatness and it is something you’ll never be fella. You’re just a nobody around here and I’ll be sure to keep that way.

Sheamus pushes Sin Cara’s head as he sits up. Sheamus begins to walk away, but Sin Cara is having none of Sheamus’ bully treatment. Sin Cara runs and dropkicks Sheamus in the back, sending him to the ground. Sheamus pulls himself to one knee, but Sin Cara charges and nails Sheamus with a running knee of his own, knocking him out cold. Sin Cara looks around and picks up the United States championship. Sin Cara stares at the title before dropping it atop Sheamus and walking away.

Jerry Lawler-Typical bully tactic, pick on the new guy. Obviously Sheamus didn’t know what Sin Cara was capable of.

Michael Cole-Sin Cara is a chump. He deserves nothing. I hope Sheamus kicks his little freakishly masked face in.

Jerry Lawler-If anyone here is a chump it is you Cole.

Michael Cole-Real mature King. I’ve had enough of this.

Cole throws his headset off and storms over to Justin Roberts and demands a microphone. Even before Cole can utter a word he is receiving a massive amount of heat from the audience. Cole stomps his way up the stairs and gets into the ring.



Michael Cole-May I have your attention please? I am tired of the verbal abuse I continue to receive from Jerry Lawler. Look Lawler we get it, you are jealous that I defeated you at Wrestlemania. In fact I think it is due time that I begin to carry the Mr. Wrestlemania moniker. Despite the fact that I defeated Jerry Lawler at Wrestlemania fair and square he still doesn’t treat me with the respect that I deserve. You can stop trying to impress these people King, they don’t care about you. You are a washed up has been in the ring and at the announce table. Maybe you should do us all a favor Lawler and retire. Maybe it is time for you to actual put someone over King. I am the voice of the WWE damn it and you aren’t going to steal my spotlight Lawler.

Jerry Lawler has heard enough. Lawler storms the ring as Cole tries to defend himself. Lawler has Cole by his shirt and threatens to knock him out. Cole is still trying to plead his case.

Click for Spoiler:

Josh Mathews-Guys we have received an email from the anonymous Raw general manager. And I quote:

“Jerry Lawler, you know as well as I do that Michael Cole is annoying pain in the butt. However I clearly stated that if you were to lay a hand on him your contract would be immediately terminated. That rule is still in effect Jerry. So unless you are willing to lose your job over this I’d recommend letting Michael Cole go.”

Lawler looks around as the fans are booing. Lawler releases Cole and Cole stumbles back into the ropes. Lawler is clearly not pleased with the GM’s decision. Cole now has a huge smirk on his face and begins laughing loudly at Lawler.

Michael Cole-I win again Lawler. Just admit it Jerry, you can’t beat me. Hahahaha. Yes! Yes! Yes! Bow down to me King, bow down to me. I am your superior Jerry. Me, Michael Cole.

Lawler pauses before he gets out of the ring. Lawler turns around and charges Cole. Cole tries to get out of the ring, but Lawler grabs him by the collar. Lawler stares a hole right through Cole before decking him with a huge right hand. Cole goes flying into the corner as Lawler proceeds to stomp a mudhole in him. Officials charge the ring, but Lawler breaks their hold and continues his beat down on Cole. The officials continue to try to breaking it up, but Lawler now has chased the officials out of the ring. Lawler lifts Cole up and drops him with a bodyslam. Lawler heads to the ropes and drops his trademark fist atop Cole’s head. Lawler has snapped as the GM keeps chiming in but Josh Mathews hasn’t had a chance to read them. Lawler lifts Cole and signals for a piledriver. The crowd goes insane as Lawler puts Cole’s head between his legs. Lawler lifts Cole up and drops him on his head. Officials slide back into the ring as Lawler backs off and leaves. Officials signal for medical help for Cole as Lawler is escorted out of the ring. Lawler waves to the crowd and blows kisses and bows as he walks his way up the ramp. Jerry chants rain throughout the arena. Cole’s neck is now protected and he is placed upon a stretcher as they wheel him out. The fans boo as Cole is wheeled out of the arena.

[Theodore Evelyn Maysby]

Josh Mathews-Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to Monday Night Raw. Before we get back to the action, lets take a look at what happened prior to the action.

Video package airing showing the Jerry Lawler/Michael Cole incident.

Josh Mathews-Jerry Lawler obviously had enough of Michael Cole’s shenanigans and snapped. Lawler has been escorted out of the building and his contract has been terminated here. I will miss Jerry Lawler and he has been a blast to work with. Best of luck to you Jerry. As for Michael Cole, he has been rushed to the local hospital and will undergo test to see how much damage was done to his neck following the piledriver delivered by Jerry Lawler. Despite the actions earlier the show must go on and lets welcome Matt Striker to the broadcast booth.

Matt Striker-Thank you Josh and it is great to be working with you again, though it isn’t on the exact terms as I would have liked, but lets get the focus back to the ring shall we?

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 183 lbs…EVAN BOURNE!

Matt Striker-The ever exciting and high flying, Evan “Air” Bourne. Josh, you know that you are on the verge of something exciting when Evan Bourne steps foot in the squared circle.

Josh Mathews-Right you are Matt. Evan Bourne might have the most innovative offense in the WWE today. Evan Bourne never ceases to amaze the WWE Universe.

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-And his opponent from Chi..

CM Punk-Hold on Justin Roberts. I know that I am scheduled to compete against little Evan Bourne tonight, but that isn’t going to happen. Oh don’t you fret Evan, you’ll still have a match tonight. I see no reason for me to go down to the ring and do what I’ve done countless times. I have a monster on my hands, who is looking to prove himself to each and everyone of you induced individuals. I am of course talking about my very own One Man Nexus, Skip Sheffield.

Matt Striker-A little improvising from the Straight Edge Savior, CM Punk. A curveball to Evan Bourne Josh.

Josh Mathews-A little unfair to Evan Bourne don’t you think Matt? I mean he came here tonight prepared for CM Punk and instead he gets the complete opposite in Skip Sheffield. We all saw what Sheffield did to Randy Orton last week and we know he is pure evil.

Josh Mathews-This is the WWE Josh, things change like that. Evan Bourne is a professional and he will make the adjustments needed to take on the One Man Nexus himself, Skip Sheffield.

Click for Spoiler:

Scheduled referee, Chad Patton rings the bell and we begin. Bourne shuffles around the ring as Sheffield keeps a close eye on him. Punk encourages Sheffield on the outside. Sheffield gets Bourne cornered, but Evan doesn’t back down. Bourne greets Sheffield with a series of kicks to the thigh of Sheffield. The big man is put off by Bourne’s offense and he charges. However Bourne is too quick for Sheffield, who crashes into the corner. Evan continues with the kicks and connects with one to the temple which takes Sheffield off his feet. Sheffield rolls to the outside and talks things over with Punk. Chad Patton holds back Bourne before trying to get Skip back into the ring. Bourne avoids the official and goes to launch himself out. Bourne gets over the ropes, but Sheffield and Punk quickly move out of the way. Bourne, however counters and lands on the apron. Bourne sees an opportunity open and he runs off the apron and goes for a Hurricarana to Sheffield, but Skip catches him on the follow through. Sheffield uses his sheer power and throws Evan Bourne into the steel stairs, as if he weighed as much as a feather. Sheffield pleads his innocence as he rolls into the ring. Patton has a talk with Sheffield, as Punk takes advantage of the distraction. Punk gets a few shots in before he rolls Bourne into the ring. Sheffield now awaits his prey in the corner. Skip is ready to pounce and Evan is slow to his feet. Bourne turns around and Sheffield charges and nails Bourne with a huge clothesline that flips Bourne around and nearly turns him inside out. Sheffield goes for the rough cover on Bourne’s motionless body.

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match by pinfall…SKIP SHEFFIELD!

Matt Striker-What an absolutely dominating performance by Skip Sheffield. CM Punk has a dangerous man on his hands Josh.

Josh Mathews-First Randy Orton and now Evan Bourne. If we thought Punk had an opposing force with the New Nexus, what do we call Punk’s One Man Nexus?

Punk gets in the ring with a huge smirk on his face as he raises the hand of Skip Sheffield. Sheffield still has a disturbing look on his face as he lifts Bourne up off the ground. Bourne is still out of it as Sheffield places Bourne atop of CM Punk’s shoulders. Punk drops Bourne with a GTS and leans over Bourne with a sadistic smile following by a maniacal laugh.

Josh Mathews-An unnecessary attack by CM Punk. CM Punk has completely lost it and you know that was a message for one Randy Orton.

Scott Stanford-Ladies and gentlemen this interview is brought to you by WWWE.

Zack Ryder-For those of you out there who don’t know me I am Zack Ryder. Wait, are you serious bro?!? There are people who don’t me? I am Long Island Iced Z.

Scott Stanford-Sorry broski. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen you on Monday Nights.

Zack Ryder-Anyway. Are you tired of what they are feeding you on Monday Nights? Are you tired of this so called entertainment? Well then it is time for you the WWE Universe to have a say. It is time for Monday Night’s to get Zacked and it is up to you to get it done. It is time for the WWE to be the WWWE. Woo Woo Woo Entertainment. I am Zack Ryder and I approve this message. Woo Woo Woo You Know It. BRO.



***COMMERCIAL BREAK***



Josh Mathews-Welcome back to Monday Night Raw. During the break the Anonymous Raw General Manager announced that we would have the contract signing for the Last Man Standing Match for the WWE championship tonight.

Matt Striker-I look forward to that confrontation later on. But as you can see Ted Dibiase is in the ring and ready for action. Lets see if the Fortunate Son can find that much needed spark and continue on his win streak that started on Superstars last week against R-Truth.

Click for Spoiler:

Justin Roberts-And his opponent from Los Angeles, California weighing in at 224 lbs…JOHN MORRISON!

Josh Mathews-Well Matt Ted Dibiase is going to have his hands full as he gets to square off with the Prince of Parkour, John Morrison.

Matt Striker-Morrison himself has been on quite the roll of late as well. Morrison has the full support of the WWE Universe as he has been so close to winning to the WWE championships and developing into the most unique superstar on the roster today.

Click for Spoiler:

Referee John Cone rings the bell and we are underway. Both superstars circle the ring before locking up. Dibiase gains the upper hand as he gets Morrison in a headlock. Morrison pushes Dibiase off and into the ropes. Morrison takes Dibiase down with a shoulder. Morrison runs across the ropes and Dibiase rolls to the center and Morrison jumps him. Dibiase is up and he charges Morrison on the turn around, but Morrison leap frogs Dibiase and then hits the running Dibiase with a Ricky Steamboat like arm drag into a submission. Morrison wrenches up on the arm as Cone ask Dibiase if he surrenders, but Dibiase shakes it off. Meanwhile Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler appear on top of the entrance way and watch on. Morrison eyes them down and he breaks the submission and starts jawing at Ziggler and Guerrero. They laugh as Morrison invites them down to the ring. Dibiase sneaks up from behind and rolls Morrison up.

KICK OUT!

Dibiase gets a close count on the distracted Morrison. Morrison is thrown off guard and beelines for Dibiase, but Ted takes him down with a clothesline. Ted banters to the crowd as he generates a little heat for his actions. Dibiase nails Morrison with a fist drop, shades of his father. Dibiase follows up with yet another fist drop and then a jumping stomp to the back of Morrison’s head. Dibiase again eggs the crowd on as Vickie and Dolph look on with approval. Dibiase motions for Morrison to get up as Morrison is crawling to the ropes. Morrison pulls himself up, but Dibiase takes him right back down with a picture perfect dropkick. Dibiase goes right for the cover.

1…

KICK OUT!

Dibiase stays on the offensive and drives a trio of knee drops into the neck of Morrison, who begins to favor his neck. Dibiase is keen to this and he drives another trio, this time of elbows into the injured neck of John Morrison. Vickie and Dolph continue to watch on and look impressed in the process. Dibiase goes for a submission hold as he wrenches Morrison’s neck in a headlock. Morrison grimaces in pain, but won’t give up when Cone asks. The crowd starts getting behind Morrison and Dibiase shakes his head in disapproval. Morrison begins to stomp his foot and squeeze his hand to make sure he still has feeling in his arms. Morrison is now up on one knee to the disappointment of Dibiase, Vickie, and Ziggler. Morrison drives an elbow into the sternum of Dibiase, but Ted keeps the hold locked on. Morrison drives another and finally gets the hold broken after a third elbow. Morrison is now up and runs off the ropes. Dibiase goes for a clothesline, but Morrison ducks it and nails a turning Dibiase with a one footed dropkick. Dibiase hops right up and Morrison goes for kick, but Dibiase grabs it. Morrison tries slap Dibiase, but Dibiase isn’t in reaching distance. Dibiase spins Morrison around, but that fails as Morrison clocks with a spinning kick that sends Dibiase to the outside. Morrison holds his neck as Dibiase pulls himself up with the apron on the outside. Morrison heads to the ropes and pulls himself over and nails a Corkscrew Plancha, taking both him and Dibiase out. The crowd pops at the move, as Ziggler and Vickie begin to worry. Referee John Cone begins his ten count.

Ziggler and Vickie can’t believe it. Morrison and Dibiase begin to alternate punches as the crowd “boos” and “yeahs” along with each punch. Dibiase gains the edge with a boot to Morrison’s midsection. Morrison falls to one knee and Dibiase charges with an attempt to kick Morrison in the injured neck, but Morrison dodges out of the way and bounces off the middle rope and nails Dibiase with a Chuck Kick. Morrison drags Dibiase over to the corner and sets him up for Starship Pain. Morrison strikes Ziggler and Guerrero a look before jumps up and nails Starship Pain. Morrison, selling the neck injury, crawls over to Dibiase and makes the cover.

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match by pinfall…JOHN MORRISON!

Ziggler and Guerrero are visibly upset with the outcome as Morrison’s hand is raised in victory.

Matt Striker-What an unbelievable match Josh. Props to both John Morrison and Ted Dibiase for this exceptional contest.

Josh Mathews-Despite Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero’s presence John Morrison was able to score the victory tonight. Clearly this dispute between Ziggler and Morrison is far from over.

Matt Striker-Well of course not Josh. Vickie and Dolph are upset that Morrison stole their Wrestlemania moment from right under their nose. It is only a matter of time before these two young and rising superstars battle it out.

Split screens appear and we see Miz (with Alex Riley) and John Cena on their way to the ring for the official contract signing for their Last Man Standing Match at Extreme Rules for the WWE Championship.


***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Click for Spoiler:

Josh Mathews-Here comes the self proclaimed most must see WWE champion history and his personal assistant. Of course that would be The Miz and Alex Riley.

Matt Striker-Now I’m no Mizfit like Michael Cole, but Miz made a great point earlier tonight Josh. Miz believes he is and is continually being overshadowed here and I actually agree with him. Miz is fighting to prove something and a superstar fighting with a chip on their shoulder is a dangerous combination.

Click for Spoiler:

Josh Mathews-And then of course Matt there is the challenger, John Cena.

Josh Mathews-John Cena is all business when it comes to the WWE and his passion to perform and excite the fans each and every night. And John Cena tonight manned up and admitted he overlooked The Miz. That is what you got to respect about Cena, he doesn’t make excuse and now with Rock out of the picture we are going to see if Cena is once again championship material.

Click for Spoiler:

Cena and Miz sit at opposite sides of the table, as Alex Riley lurks behind Miz. Cena and Miz’s eyes never leave each other. Miz gives Cena a cocky smirk as he toys around with his custom championship title. Cena is still all serious as he grabs the contract and immediately signs it. Cena slams the contract on the table and waits for Miz to make it official. Miz looks up and him and Riley begin to talk. Cena doesn’t like their sneakiness and he is out of his chair and whips his shirt into the crowd. Miz signals for Riley to leave the ring. Miz stands up out of his chair and sets his championship on the table. Miz continues to watch as Cena prances around the ring. Miz shakes his head as he grabs the contract and reads it over. Miz inhales and signs the contract and drops it on the table. Cena is pumped as the crowd pops as the match is official. Cena heads over to the table as him and Miz have a staredown. Miz lifts up his championship as him and Cena are all eyes. Miz goes to smack Cena with the championship, but Cena blocks it and Miz begs for forgiveness. Cena has Miz cornered, but out of nowhere Riley smacks Cena in the back of the head with a briefcase. Riley and Miz begin to beat down on Cena. Riley holds up Cena as Miz rips his tie and jacket off. Miz yells at Cena as he shows him the championship title. Miz cracks Cena across the head with the title and Cena falls motionless to the mat. Miz drops his championship to the mat and him and Riley pull the table to the middle of the ring. Riley lifts Cena’s dead weight off the mat and drapes him across the table. Miz grabs Cena and sets him up for the Skull Crushing Finale and drops Cena through the table. Miz gets up and you can see he means business. The crowd has mixed reaction of shock and heat for Miz. Miz lifts his title up off the mat and hovers over Cena, who is out cold. Miz raises the title high to a chorus of boos (and some cheers) as Alex Riley in the background begins a ten count as Raw goes off the air.
