NXT SEASON 2 ROOKIES – FUTURES RESOLVED

With the NXT Season 2 winner, Kaval, starting his WWE career on SMACKDOWN recently, many people have been speculating over the future of the other NXT Season 2 rookies. Alex Riley has been rewarded with a RAW contract which allows him to remain with his NXT Season 2 Pro, The Miz.

Michael McGillicutty, Lucky Cannon, Eli Cottonwood and Titus O’Neil have all been deemed surplus to future requirements in the WWE and are free to talk to other companies. The WWE wishes them well in their future endeavours.

Percy Watson and Husky Harris have caught the eye of WWE management and have been awarded short-term contracts with SMACKDOWN that give them further chance to impress in the coming weeks.

THE FUTURE OF NXT, THE SHOW

NXT Season 3 has been postponed after poor reaction to the opening shows of the season. The new WWE management believe that NXT is a good concept but it needs a break between seasons to remain fresh. Watch out for the return of NXT in the future.

ROSTER CHANGES BETWEEN RAW AND SMACKDOWN

The new management are also keen to make a few changes to the rosters of RAW and SMACKDOWN over the coming months in preparation for the ‘Road to WrestleMania’ in the New Year. There are likely to be a few drafts between RAW and SMACKDOWN to shake things up a little and keep the brands fresh.

The first confirmed trades see two RAW superstars heading for SMACKDOWN this Friday night. The tag team of Mark Henry and Evan Bourne competed in Sunday’s Tag Team Turmoil match where they lost the final fall to the new Tag Team champions, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. They will now get their opportunity to seek revenge as the two RAW men head for the blue brand in time for Friday.

WWE Divas Gail Kim and Jillian are also heading for SMACKDOWN this week.

Rumours suggest that the new RAW General Manager will be announced in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to find out who it is!

MONDAY NIGHT RAW!
PREVIEW

NIGHT AFTER ‘NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS’ – THE NEW CHAMPION SPEAKS!

Randy Orton, the ‘Viper,’ RKO’d his way to the WWE Championship last night in the ‘Six Pack Challenge’ after he eliminated the champion, Sheamus, in the final fall. Afterwards, Orton celebrated with the fans and proudly held up the WWE Championship in all four corners of the ring. What will the ‘Viper’ have to say tonight on RAW? What will Sheamus’ response to losing his title be?

NEXUS CONTINUE TO CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR CENA

With John Cena eliminated by Wade Barrett at Night of Champions last night after another distraction from the Nexus, the WWE Universe must continue its wait for another Cena title reign. After months of attacks on the ‘Face of the WWE’ by the Nexus, will Wade Barrett’s men have another surprise in store tonight? Cena is scheduled to face off against David Otunga in a one-on-one contest tonight but it is doubtful that it will remain that way!

WHAT NEXT FOR JERICHO?

It’s not been a happy month for Chris Jericho. Beaten several times and seemingly losing his confident and arrogant edge after several of these losses, what will the first ever Undisputed Champion’s next move be? His early elimination at Night of Champions by new champion, Randy Orton, will not put Jericho in a happy mood at RAW tonight. Will Jericho manage to start the comeback tonight?

TAG TEAM TITLE NUMBER 1 CONTENDERS

We have new Tag Team Champions after Smackdown’s Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes won Tag Team Turmoil at Night of Champions. With just two weeks to No Mercy, four teams will meet in a Tag Team Elimination match to determine the number one contenders. The Hart Dynasty get their rematch clause with a place in the match and they are joined by The Usos, Evan Bourne and Mark Henry and the team of Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov. Who will head to No Mercy in the hunt for the gold?

Join us on Monday Night Raw!

PREVIEW

WHAT NEXT FOR KANE AND THE UNDERTAKER?

At ‘Night of Champions’ on Sunday, the Devil’s Favourite Demon, Kane, defeated his brother, The Undertaker, to retain his World Heavyweight Champion and establish himself as the dominant force in his family as well as on Smackdown. Will the Deadman set his sights on Kane’s title despite the defeat or will Kane move on to another victim?

ZIGGLER STILL INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION!

After his defeat of Kofi Kingston at ‘Night of Champions,’ Dolph Ziggler and his girlfriend, the Smackdown Consultant to the General Manager – Vickie Guerrero, have proclaimed the Intercontinental Champion as the greatest of all time. Whilst there may be several former Intercontinental Champions who would disagree with Ziggler and Guerrero, there is no doubt that Ziggler is in possession of the gold right now and is on the express train to the top of Friday Night Smackdown. Ziggler and Guerrero are planning to address the WWE Universe tonight with a major announcement.

ALBERTO DEL RIO’S RING ANNOUNCER TO STAR ON THE ‘PEEP SHOW’ WITH CHRISTIAN!

After Alberto Del Rio’s explosion onto our screen’s recently with his injury to Rey Mysterio and his war of words with Christian, his ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez tonight appears as the special guest on Christian’s ‘Peep Show’ on Smackdown. What will Rodriguez have to say to Christian and will we be hearing from Smackdown’s hottest new talent, Del Rio?

MELINA SET FOR SMACKDOWN APPEARANCE!

After her defeat to Michelle McCool in the unification match on Sunday, Melina is set to arrive on Smackdown to confront the unified champion and her co-champion, Layla. With Laycool not known for their sympathetic ears, what response awaits Melina when she appears on the blue brand on Friday night?

RESULTS

Percy Watson and Husky Harris beat MVP and Kaval (Pin – 8:14)
The two newcomers – Watson and Harris – pick up a debut win and a measure of revenge over Kaval who won NXT Season 2. Husky Harris gets the decisive pinfall after he drops all his weight down onto MVP before getting the 3-count.

Alicia Fox beats Eve Torres (Pin – 6:21)
In this Divas match, Alicia Fox gets back on track with a pinfall victory over Eve. However, she needs to resort to dirty tactics – a vicious hair pull behind the referees back to smash Eve into the mat – before hitting the scissors kick for the 3-count.

R-Truth beats Zack Ryder (Pin – 3:01)
A convincing win for Truth who spends more time rapping on his way to the ring than he does in beating Ryder. The ‘Lie Detector’ does the damage and allows R-Truth to pick up the pinfall.

Alex Riley beats Santino Marella (Pin – 4:58)
With a little help from The Miz at ringside and his briefcase, Alex Riley begins to build momentum ahead of his US Title match with Daniel Bryan at ‘No Mercy’ with a pinfall victory over Santino.

MAIN EVENT
Jack Swagger defeats Matt Hardy (Submission – 10:12)
In a competitive main event, Swagger inflicts another defeat to Matt Hardy who looks out of shape and out of sorts. Swagger manages to lock in the ‘Ankle Lock’ and Matt Hardy is forced to tap out to the ‘All American American’ superstar. Afterwards, Hardy looks very frustrated and demoralised with efforts.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

RUMOURS AND NEWS

There are strong rumours that one of WWE’s missing superstars could be making a big return at the next PPV, ‘No Mercy,’ next week. With Triple H and Rey Mysterio currently sidelined, the smart money is on the return of ‘The Game’ although there has also been a whisper that it could be a certain Jim Ross.

Chris Jericho is thought to be on the verge of a major storyline that will change WWE significantly. Senior WWE officials believe that Jericho has gone a little stale recently and there has been talk about a change for the veteran.

At the recent RAW TV show, the new owner of WWE announced that the RAW GM will be announced shortly. Some are speculating that this could also be at the ‘No Mercy’ PPV and will involve a continuation of Edge’s feud with the GM.

There is also talk of Matt Hardy leaving WWE in the near future. The popular superstar is growing frustrated with his role in the company and is definitely set for time off in the coming weeks to take a break. However, there are suggestions that he may not return to the WWE with TNA – with his brother, Jeff – offering a potential escape route.

Stand by for a batch of WWE wrestlers to be released in the coming weeks and months as WWE’s new management take stock of who is and isn’t wanted. There are said to be as many as twenty superstars with plenty to prove in the coming weeks, the most high profile of these are said to be MVP and R-Truth.​

PREVIEW

CAN THE VIPER BEAT THE CLOCK?

At the final RAW before their ‘No Mercy’ rematch for the WWE Title, WWE Champion Randy Orton and his challenger, Sheamus, will be looking to ‘beat the clock’ with the fastest man to be rewarded by the RAW GM. With Orton and Sheamus so evenly matched in recent weeks, both men will be desperate for any kind of reward that could give them the advantage heading into the ‘No Mercy’ event on Sunday? Who will that man be?

CENA SET TO CHALLENGE THE LEADER OF THE NEXUS!

The problems between John Cena and the Nexus – particularly Wade Barrett, the leader – have been well documented in recent months. This week on RAW, John Cena has a challenge for Wade Barrett and the Nexus – what will the challenge be?

MORRISON OUT OF ACTION!

After the vicious attack from Chris Jericho last week, John Morrison will not be at the RAW show this Monday night. However, Chris Jericho will be there and the veteran WWE superstar claims to have a huge announcement to make about his WWE career. What will Jericho have to say on Monday Night Raw?

HOW WILL EDGE REACT TO THE GM’S LATEST STUNT?

After running his mouth about the RAW anonymous General Manager last week and failing to receive support from Chip Butty, the new WWE owner, Edge was forced to compete against the Nexus in a Handicap Match. What will Edge’s response to that be and will the GM have any more retribution for Edge’s comments this week?

ALEX RILEY – NEW US CHAMPION?

Last week, The Miz gave his US Title rematch away to his NXT Season 2 rookie, Alex Riley, claiming that he had lost the title on purpose at ‘Night of Champions.’ Riley and The Miz will be facing the US Champion on RAW in a 2 on 1 Handicap Match where both Riley and Bryan will be looking to gain momentum heading for their match at ‘No Mercy’ next Sunday.

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!
PREVIEW

WILL THE UNDERTAKER HAVE A MESSAGE FOR THE WORLD CHAMPION AHEAD OF NO MERCY?

After Kane’s win over Kofi Kingston last Friday night, the ‘Devils Favourite Demon’ got the chance to choose the match he would have with his brother, The Undertaker, at ‘No Mercy’ this Sunday. The confident World Heavyweight Champion has chosen a ‘Casket Match’ and is intent on ending the legacy of the Deadman in his speciality match. Will the Undertaker have a message for the Big Red Monster? Or will Kane’s dominance of Smackdown continue heading into the title match on Sunday?

CAN KOFI KINGSTON PUSH HIS WORLD TITLE CLAIMS?

After a valiant effort last Friday, Kofi Kingston failed to beat the World Champion and earn himself a spot in the World Title match this Sunday. However, the Ghanaian superstar is intent on catching the Smackdown General Manager’s eye and earning himself a title opportunity. He faces Jack Swagger this week and will be hoping to impress against the ‘All American American’ and push his claims further.

WILL GALLOWS GET ANOTHER SHOT AT ZIGGLER’S IC TITLE?

After Dolph Ziggler claimed that the Smackdown locker room could not provide anybody worthy of being Intercontinental Champion, it was Luke Gallows who responded and attempted to secure a title shot by beating the champion. Unfortunately, Gallows’ former mentor and the leader of the Straight Edge Society, CM Punk, decided to interfere and cost Gallows a shot at the title. What will Gallows response be this week on Smackdown?

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS IN ACTION!

Days before they face the Usos at No Mercy, the tag team champions are on Smackdown to face the Hart Dynasty – the former champions looking to get back in the title hunt – with the Usos missing after the attack on them on Monday Night Raw. Can the Harts get back in the title picture or will the impressive run of the new champions continue as they head into No Mercy?

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS IN ACTION!

Christian is another in action on Smackdown ahead of his No Mercy match with the newest Smackdown sensation, Alberto Del Rio. With Mysterio out for the foreseeable future and Christian nursing an arm injury, Del Rio has made an impact and there must be concern for Christian heading into his match with Kaval on Smackdown. Will the dastardly Mexican allow Christian to recuperate? And will Kaval be able to secure his first win on Smackdown?

RESULTS

Tyson Kidd beats Zack Ryder (Submission – 4:56)
Zack Ryder ‘s losing streak continues with another quick loss, this time to the high flying Tyson Kidd. The Hart Dynasty member makes quick work of Ryder and defeats him with the Sharpshooter.

Gail Kim defeats Jillian (Pin – 3:04)
The Canadian diva defeats Jillian and spares the WWE Universe from a celebration song from the tone-deaf Jillian. A quick roll up pin secures the victory for Gail Kim.

The Usos beat Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov (Pin – 7:43)
A morale-boosting win for the Usos after their singles defeats to the Tag Team Champions in the last week. A victory over the Europeans gives them valuable momentum heading into No Mercy after Tamina’s distraction of Santino lead to a diving headbutt from Jey Uso to secure the win.

Percy Watson and Husky Harris beat Cryme Tyme (Pin – 6:34)
A massive reception as JTG and Shad re-unite to form Cryme Tyme as they seek out that elusive Tag Team Championship that they missed out on before. After poor singles outings, the two got back together to face NXT Season 2 stars, Watson and Harris. However, things didn’t start well for Cryme Tyme as Harris pinned JTG to give the newcomers on Smackdown a second straight win on Superstars.

MAIN EVENT
Jack Swagger defeats Matt Hardy (Submission – 9:32)
Another week, another defeat for Matt Hardy at the hands of Jack Swagger. As last week, Hardy was defeated with the Ankle Lock, forced to tap out to the All American American, Swagger. After the match, Hardy announced that he was taking some time off from WWE and that he didn’t know when, or even if, he’d be back. He thanked the fans for their support and left but was brutally attacked by Swagger again in the aisle and forced to tap out to the Ankle Lock one more time.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

RUMOURS AND NEWS

The No Mercy PPV this weekend is expected to be a good one with several high profile matches featured on the card. The match between Sheamus and Randy Orton is not expected to see a title change with Sheamus thought to be a leading contender for the Royal Rumble in January.

Rumours are still suggesting that there could be either an announcement regarding the Raw General Manager or a returning superstar at the No Mercy PPV on Sunday. Some are even suggesting that the two things could be linked.

Matt Hardy, as we told you last week, has taken a break from the WWE for an ‘undisclosed amount of time.’ His interview on Superstars gave a clear indication of his frustration at his role on Smackdown and his increasing desperation to be involved in a World Title program. Rumours are still suggesting that we could see Matt move to TNA to join Jeff in the future.

Chris Jericho faces John Morrison this weekend in a match where Jericho will ‘retire’ if he is beaten by Morrison. This is expected to be the beginning of a major storyline for Jericho.

TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!

After over six months away from the WWE, Triple H returned at No Mercy and cost the Celtic Warrior, Sheamus, the WWE Championship! After Sheamus’ attempt to end the career of the Game just after WrestleMania 26, what lies ahead for these two superstars who both have reason to want to destroy the other?

RANDY ORTON AND WADE BARRETT TO MEET AT CYBER SUNDAY?

One thing is certain: Randy Orton remains the WWE Champion! And at No Mercy, it was Wade Barrett – with a little help from Michael Tarver – who defeated John Cena to earn the next shot at the Viper for the title? Can Barrett and the Nexus tread the path that leads to the WWE Title? And will John Cena have anything to say on the situation?

JERICHO – STILL ALIVE ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW!

After a controversial victory over John Morrison at No Mercy, Chris Jericho survived potential retirement and the ‘best in the world at what he does’ remains an integral part of WWE! However, Morrison is guaranteed to be unhappy about the way Jericho secured the victory – what will the Monday Night Delight have to say to Jericho tonight?

MICHAEL COLE AND JERRY LAWLER – CO-COMMENTATORS?

After Jerry Lawler’s punch to the face of Michael Cole last night and the subsequent beating of Lawler by the Miz, there could be fireworks at the announce table tonight. Will Cole have the guts to stand up to Lawler? Or will the Miz be appearing to protect his favourite announcer?

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE!

It has also been confirmed that Dolph Ziggler will tonight defend the Intercontinental Championship against Luke Gallows.

Kaval defeats Chavo Guerrero (Pin – 6:47)
Very competitive match that could have gone either way. Kaval gets the win with the two-footed stomp from the top rope.

MAIN EVENT

CONFIRMATION OF CYBER SUNDAY WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH?

After John Cena failed to win the Triple Threat match in last Monday’s main event, has his opportunity at the WWE Championship at Cyber Sunday disappeared? Wade Barrett earned the title match at No Mercy and wasn’t impressed that Cena was trying to muscle in on his opportunity last week. So what will the General Manager decide for the match at Cyber Sunday? What options will the WWE Universe have to decide upon? Find out tonight!

IS IT TIME FOR SHEAMUS TO PLAY THE GAME?

Last week, a pumped up Triple H returned to Monday Night Raw ready for revenge on Sheamus but was thwarted when the General Manager informed him that Sheamus was out of action. Will Sheamus return tonight or will Triple H be frustrated for another week? And will Triple H spill the beans about the identity of the General Manager?

MIZ LOOKING FOR REVENGE ...

Another man with reason to be watching out for Triple H tonight is the Money in the Bank briefcase holder, The Miz. Last week, Miz was beaten by the returning Triple H and saw his apprentice, Alex Riley, hit with a Pedigree. However, Miz claims that the distraction of Jerry Lawler and Daniel Bryan caused him to lose the match and it is certain that Miz will have something to say about the situation tonight!

JERICHO BACK ON TRACK?

A victory over John Morrison at No Mercy through illegal means and a subsequent defeat to Morrison on RAW last week means that Chris Jericho’s wobbly run of results in the ring is not yet behind him. A defeat to Vladimir Kozlov on Superstars won’t have helped matters and Jericho faces R-Truth tonight desperate for a victory to show the WWE Universe that he still has what it takes to be a main eventer here in the WWE!

WHAT WILL THE GENERAL MANAGER HAVE IN STORE FOR EDGE AT CYBER SUNDAY?

The anonymous RAW General Manager promised to reveal his – or her – identity at Cyber Sunday but has banned the Rated R Superstar, Edge, from any kind of discussion of who he or she might be. The General Manager also informed Edge that he will be involved in a match at Cyber Sunday that would be specifically designed for him by the General Manager. Will the General Manager reveal that match tonight?

GENERAL MANAGER TO ANNOUNCE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP STIPULATIONS!

After John Cena’s winning pinfall over the Nexus on last week’s RAW, Cena earned himself an opportunity at the WWE Championship alongside Nexus leader, Wade Barrett at Cyber Sunday. However, tensions between Cena and Orton were strained during the match and it will be up the General Manager to determine the stipulations for the contest. Remember: the WWE Universe will be voting to decide what will be happening at the PPV! What will the night have in store for the champion, Randy Orton, and his challengers, Cena and Barrett? What will the final decision be regarding the Cyber Sunday title match?

SHEAMUS ENDS THE GAME?

After putting Triple H out of action for eight months just after WrestleMania 26, Sheamus has been avoiding the Game in recent weeks despite being cost the WWE Championship at the last PPV, No Mercy. However, Sheamus returned with a bang last week as he took out Triple H with a steel pipe during a tag team match with The Miz and Alex Riley. Will the Game be on RAW to seek revenge or will Sheamus have sidelined him once again?

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS TO BE DECIDED!

After wins on RAW and SMACKDOWN last week, the Hart Dynasty (victors over the Usos on RAW) and Mark Henry and Evan Bourne (victors over Cryme Tyme on SMACKDOWN) go up against each other tonight to determine the number one contenders for the Tag Team Championships at Cyber Sunday. In recent weeks, the champions Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre seem to have been avoiding the duo of Bourne and Henry but can the pair earn a title shot for the PPV?

MELINA AND KELLY KELLY GO HEAD TO HEAD!

With Kelly Kelly and Melina both in contention to face Divas Champion, Layla, at Cyber Sunday, the tension between the two grew on SMACKDOWN as Kelly Kelly shocked everybody – including herself – by throwing Melina out of the ring after their match with Laycool. Tonight, Kelly goes one on one with Melina and no doubt that Laycool will be in attendance somewhere!

JERICHO LOOKING TO BREAK LOSING STREAK ... AGAIN!

Once again, Chris Jericho will be looking to end his long losing run and secure a much needed win this week on RAW. After defeat to R-Truth last week on Superstars, he faces the rapping superstar again this week looking for a break and a change of fortunes. But can he get it against the dangerous Truth?

***** PREVIEW *****

RAW GENERAL MANAGER TO REVEAL THEMSELVES!

After months of speculation and discussion amongst the WWE Universe and the WWE superstars, the identity of Michael Cole’s ‘best friend’ will become clear at the Cyber Sunday event after Edge called him out one too many times. After vowing to make Edge regret his recent outbursts against him, the General Manager emailed that he would reveal himself at Cyber Sunday and he was hoping that his first official order of business would be to personally fire Edge when he lost his Retirement Match – that the GM ordered – against John Morrison and Chris Jericho. So who is the General Manager? Let’s think about what we know:

He or she can use a computer.

He or she doesn’t like Edge.

He or she knows Triple H.

Who will the General Manager turn out to be?
Will he get his desire and fire Edge on his General Manager debut?

* * * * * * * * * *

COULD LAYCOOL BE ABOUT TO IMPLODE?

Chip Butty, the new owner of the WWE, recently appeared on Monday Night Raw to inform Laycool that their days as co-Divas Champions was over. He ordered that just Layla would carry the belt; after all, it was her that won it in the first place! However, Butty did allow Michelle McCool an opportunity to regain the championship when he named her one of the three potential challengers for the Divas Championship at Cyber Sunday. Laycool claim to be stronger than ever and Michelle McCool says she will not be fighting with Layla at Cyber Sunday but will the lure of the Divas Title be too much for Michelle? The WWE Universe may decide that either Melina or Kelly Kelly, the other two potential challengers, is more deserving of a title match anyway.

Will Laycool be voted against each other for the Divas Championship?
Can Layla show that her title reign is more than a fluke by retaining the belt?

WILL THE ROOKIE DEFEAT HIS PRO?

From the minute that Daniel Bryan and the Miz were placed together on NXT, the friction between the pair has been clear. With Bryan stuck in a permanent losing rut on NXT and Miz showing that tough love was the order of the day, the rivalry built until Daniel Bryan defeated Miz for the United States Title at Night of Champions. Since then, Miz has been more interested in when he might cash in Money in the Bank but the problem of Daniel Bryan refuses to go away. The RAW General Manager last week decided that Miz and Bryan would meet at Cyber Sunday with one of three prizes up for grabs:

Daniel Bryan’s US Championship, Miz’ Money in the Bank contract or a potential night as the General Manager of RAW.

Will the WWE Universe force Miz to defend his contract? Will Bryan defend the US Title?
Will this be the end of the Miz and Daniel Bryan rivalry at last?

ARE THE TAG CHAMPS SCARED OF THEIR CHALLENGERS?

For the past few weeks, the Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre have been avoiding Evan Bourne and Mark Henry on RAW and SMACKDOWN. A brutal attack on Bourne and Henry following Night of Champions ensured that Rhodes and McIntyre avoided the pair at No Mercy but they returned on RAW to put the champions on notice. A win over the Hart Dynasty meant that Henry and Bourne would be named as the Number 1 contenders for the titles and finally Rhodes and McIntyre will be forced to face up to their challengers.

Can Bourne and Henry take the Tag Team Championships?
Or will the champions rubber stamp their recent dominance of the Tag Team division?

GAME OVER FOR SHEAMUS?

The night after WrestleMania 26 ...

The farewell appearance of the legendary HBK ...

His friend, Triple H, with a loving farewell speech on RAW.

However, before he could say farewell, Sheamus appeared intent on revenge after his loss to Hunter at WrestleMania. A steel pipe beating left Triple H beaten and destroyed and took the Game out of the WWE for over six months.

Fast forward to No Mercy: Sheamus’ final opportunity to take back the WWE Championship from Randy Orton. With Sheamus in control and looking set for a third reign as the WWE Champion, his nemesis returned to cost him the title. Now, after avoiding Triple H for the last few weeks, Sheamus must pay for his actions in a match to be chosen by the WWE Universe.

Will it be an Ambulance match, a Chain match or a Last Man Standing match at Cyber Sunday?
Will Triple H destroy Sheamus as he has promised?

IS IT TIME FOR KANE TO END THE LEGACY OF THE DEADMAN?

After Kane’s Memorial Day attack of the Undertaker, the Big Red Monster claimed that someone on Smackdown had attacked the Undertaker and left him in a vegetative state with his career in tatters. Weeks and weeks of investigating work by Kane were ended when Rey Mysterio revealed that it was Kane that had bludgeoned the Undertaker to within an inch of his life. The Deadman returned but Kane defeated him at Night of Champions and a rematch at No Mercy failed to materialise when the Undertaker mysteriously failed to show up. Kane retained the World Title against Kofi Kingston but the presence of the Deadman was in the air and his Smackdown return sees Undertaker challenging for the title at Cyber Sunday. A win over Jack Swagger means that ‘Taker decided on the potential match choices for the WWE Universe to decide on.

Buried Alive Match?

Casket Match?

Hell in a Cell?

Will the Undertaker finally gain revenge on his little brother in one of his speciality matches?
Or will Kane continue to defy the Undertaker and retain the title?

IS BARRETT THE TRUE NUMBER 1 CONTENDER? WILL CENA CRASH THE PARTY?

After Orton retained the WWE Championship against Sheamus and Wade Barrett won his Number 1 contender match with John Cena, No Mercy seemed to have determined a clear WWE Championship match for Cyber Sunday. However, the PPV isn’t named Cyber Sunday for nothing and John Cena wasn’t ready to give up as he demanded that the WWE Universe get to decide whether he would challenge at Cyber Sunday. The RAW General Manager finally relented and left the decision in the WWE Universe’s hands: Cena into a Triple Threat or Barrett and Orton as planned?

Will Cena be given an opportunity to challenge for the WWE Title?
Will Randy Orton be able to retain the title regardless?
