THE ROCK's RETURN AS WWE CHAMPION, WHAT WILL CM PUNK HAVE TO SAY?
Last night at the Royal Rumble, the Great One, the Brahma Bull, delivered a dose of smackdown on CM Punk, the record breaking WWE Champion. CM Punk had held the title for 434 days, but his historic run came to an end after being pinned by The Rock. The win was surrounded by controversy, after CM Punk initially had pinned The Rock following an attack by an unknown man, or men. Many, including the WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, believe that Paul Heyman had hired The Shield to attack The Rock and Vince was going to strip Punk of the title until The Rock demand he restart the match. This edition of RAW will see the NEW WWE Champion, The Rock, make his first speech as champion. CM Punk is sure to be seen on the show as he voices his ever so controversial opinion on last nights events. It's also rumoured that the WWE Chairman himself will be on RAW!!

ROYAL RUMBLE WINNER HAS BEEN CROWNED
Last night John Cena became only the fourth man in the 25+ year history of the Royal Rumble to win 2 separate Royal Rumble matches! Cena will speak on his historic win and may even make an early call on which championship he will contend for on the Grandest Stage of All, WrestleMania 29!

THE BUILD TO NO WAY OUT BEGINS

The opening fireworks explode as the rampant Las Vegas crowd excitedly cheers as they wait for one of the biggest Monday Night RAW shows of the year! Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler welcome us to the show!

*****ELECTRIFYING*****

The fans pop even louder than before as the NEW WWE Champion, The Rock, makes his way out from the back. The Brahma Bull has a grin from ear-to-ear as he straddles the title over his shoulder. The Rock greets the fans as he heads to the ring and grabs a microphone.

The music cuts as the champion removes his glasses and looks around at the raging Las Vegas crowd. The Rock goes to speak, only to pull away as ‘Rocky’ chants break out.

As the cheers continue, The Rock finally addresses the audience.

The Rock: “Ladies and gentleman, I have a few things that I want to say to tonight…but perhaps none are more important than that…FINALLY!”

The crowd roars!

The Rock: “THE ROCK HAS COME BACK, TO LASSSS VEEEGAASSS!”

The Rock: “And finally The Rock is back on RAW as the WWE Champion!”

The Rock receives a round of applause from the crowd

The Rock: “Ladies and gentleman I am glad to say that finally The Rock has saved everybody in the WWE Universe from a man known as CM Punk!”

Loud boos are muffled by a scattering of cheers for the former champion

The Rock: “CM Punk ran his big mouth for 434 days. He said you all didn’t matter, that you all didn’t count and he said that each and every one of you were nothing. He demanded respect that he didn’t deserve and cheated his way to victory on countless occasions. In fact he even tried to pull one over on The Rock last night, but to no avail!

The Rock pauses as more cheers are heard

The Rock: “CM Punk’s reign of terror is over, The People’s champ is back and The People’s title reign has begun!

*****MY TIME IS NOW*****

The Rock’s look of joy turns into a look disapproval as his former advisory, and Royal Rumble winner, John Cena interrupts. The crowd’s reaction is huge as Cena receives his usual amount of boos and cheers.

Cena has a smug smirk on his face as he salutes, before heading to the ring to confront The Rock.

The Rock points at Cena and goes to speak…

John Cena: “Up-up-uh-uh…”

Cena stops The Rock.

John Cena: “Rocky before you start…I just want to say…congratulations”

The crowd boos Cena as The Rock looks back with a suspicious look on his face

John Cena: “Trust me Rocky I sincerely congratulate you on winning the WWE Championship as it is an accolade that has evaded me for nearly 500 days.”

The Rock and Cena share intense looks.

John Cena: “But you can also trust me on something else…and that is IF you manage to be WWE Champion around about April 7th 2013, than better bet your ‘candy ass’ that I’ll be there waiting, because I am using my Royal Rumble Match victory clause, to face the WWE Champion at WrestleMania.”

*****CULT OF PERSONALITY*****

The Rock and John Cena both swing around as CM Punk’s music blares. Punk gets a huge mixed reaction as he intensely walks out on stage with his hooded jacket on. Paul Heyman is by his side as Punk prepares to address The Rock and John Cena.

CM Punk: “SHUT UP! SHUT UP EVERYONE”

An angry CM Punk receives a barrage of boos as well as a scattering of cheers.

CM Punk: “Are you serious Dwayne? Are you serious? The only reason I said these people matter don’t is because they don’t!! I’m the only one that matters.”

Punk is angrily pacing the top of the stage as he continues his rant.

CM Punk: “For 434 days I returned the prestige to that title that was lost years and years ago. I went about restoring it’s tarnished reputation. Tarnished by the fact that it was handed to people like Triple H, Randy Orton, John Cena and yourself!”

This receives a mixture of boos and cheers again.

CM Punk: “And for all that hard work I did, for it to be washed away by Vince McMahon is nothing short of a disgrace and an insult and I demand that you, Rock, be the bigger man and relinquish the title to me!”

The crowd loudly boos as The Rock and John Cena exchange smirks.

The Rock: “(chuckles) I’m sorry?”

Punk shakes his head in disgust.

CM Punk: “I guess it was naive of me think that either one of you or anybody else would stand up for what’s right because you’re all the same. You’re all products of Vince McMahon’s perfect universe and I find it a little coincidental that his too lovechildren are standing in the ring whilst I stand here vilified.”

Punk shakes his head as he continues.

CM Punk: “I will not compete for this company until justice is served and the WWE title is returned to me.”

Rock begins laughing as the crowd boos loudly.

The Rock: “(laughing) Are you done Punk?”

Punk sneers at Rock.

The Rock: “CM Punk if you think for one second that I will relinquish the title that I one fair and square last night, a title that I’ve trained for over the past 2 years, in fact that I’ve trained for, for my whole career, that I’ve not held since 2003, than you’ve got another thing coming.”

The Rock readjusts the title on his shoulder

The Rock: “And if you want ‘your’ title back than why don’t you shut you mouth walk your candy ass down this ramp and fight for it like a man.”

The crowd cheers as CM Punk looks on. He whispers something into the ear of Paul Heyman. They stay at the ramp for a little while before heading down to a huge roar.
Punk and Heyman stop at the edge of the ring, much to the displeasure of the crowd.

CM Punk: “Do you really think I’m that stupid? I fight on my terms. And I assure you Dwayne, you John, all of you people, Vince McMahon, and the rest of the WWE that I will stop at nothing to have that title rightfully returned to me!”

*****NO CHANCE******

The crowd roars as the tune of Vince McMahon’s theme sounds. McMahon confidently strides out to the top of the stage, playing with the crowd in his familiar fashion. McMahon has a mic in hand.

Vince McMahon: “CM Punk I don’t know who the hell you think you are but if you think you can walk into my arena, to my ring on my show and demand titles then you’ve got another thing coming.”

CM Punk sneers at the Chairman as the crowd cheers.

CM Punk: “Oh, oh, oh surprise, surprise Vince McMahon, the big hotshot chairman bullying his way around as per usual. Vince if you even had even a shred of decency in your veins before last night than it was all completely wiped away when you restarted the match after I had retained my title! I’m glad you’re out here so I can tell you that you are a corrupt disgrace and I will not compete…”

Vince McMahon: “CM Punk you better stop right there or you won’t like where things are going!”

Paul Heyman tries to calm down an irate CM Punk.

Vince McMahon: “And as far as I’m concerned Punk, if you refuse to compete, than you will not be fulfilling your contract therefore I have to right to fire your ass right now.”

A rapturous roar is heard as Punk carefully contains his anger. Paul Heyman again has words for Punk who begins to nod his head.

CM Punk: “Alright Vince, I see you’re not gonna do what’s right, that’s fine, I’m used to it. I will compete; I’ll fight for the WWE Championship because, after all, I am entitled to a rematch. I will invoke my rematch for the WWE Championship in the mainevent at WrestleMania where I belong, where I should be defending the WWE title!”

The crowd is now split as some boos foil a loud barrage of cheers from the crowd. CM Punk stares intently at Vince McMahon. The Rock and Cena look on from the ring.

Vince McMahon: “CM Punk you get a 30 day rematch-clause for the WWE Championship. WrestleMania is 10 weeks away.”

CM Punk shakes his head angrily as Vince looks at him optimistically

Vince McMahon: “I see that you’re not going to budge are you…Well I guess I could cut you a deal Punk. (Vince smiles evilly) Considering we’re in Las Vegas (loud cheer from the crowd) I guess you can count yourself lucky. John Cena has earned the right to face the champion of his choice at WrestleMania. The Rock is the WWE Champion, and as far as I can see it, the mainevent is made. But I will give you a shot at forcing your way into the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania on one condition….”

Vince smirks as CM Punk sneers at him.

Vince McMahon: “You find a partner to team with to take on John Cena and The Rock at No Way Out! (Crowd roars) And if you win, you’re in the mainevent at WrestleMania in a Triple Threat Match”

John Cena and The Rock quickly look at each other with dissatisfied looks as CM Punk looks at Paul Heyman. Vince McMahon smiles proudly as we go to commercial.



//////////Commercial//////////



Back from commercial, JBL, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler are frothing at the mouth after the announcement by Vince McMahon, as we get ready for the first match of the night.

The Uso Brothers stand in the ring as they wait for their opponents.

*****HALLELUJAH*****

Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes confidently stride out from the back and head to the ring. The reception from the crowd is unflattering but it doesn’t faze them as they enter the ring and prepare for the match.

MATCH #1 – TEAM RHODES SCHOLARS vs. THE USO BROTHERS

Sandow begins the match with Jimmy Uso. The two lock up in the middle of the ring before Sandow swiftly moves into a headlock. It’s quickly countered as Jimmy throws Sandow off the ropes and drops him with the shoulder block. Sandow jumps to his feet but Uso drops him again. Jimmy grabs Sandow quickly and twists his arm before dragging him into the corner and tagging in Jey. Jey Uso jumps into the ring and kicks Sandow. Damien is doubled over as Jey Uso elbows him in the head. Jey whips Sandow off the ropes but Sandow holds on and quickly tags Rhodes. Rhodes was not expecting it and Jey takes advantage by grabbing Cody and flipping him over the ropes. Rhodes hits the canvas with a thud and Jey makes the cover…

Jey tries to reach for a tag but is stopped by Sandow. Jey swings a wild punch that is ducked by Sandow. Damien grabs Jey from behind and hits a beautiful Russian Leg-Sweep! Sandow flips up out of the move in familiar fashion before positioning Jey for the Elbow of Distain. Sandow’s arrogance is met with boos from the crowd as he performs his patented theatrics, followed by the devastating elbow! He covers Jey…

JIMMY USO BREAKS THE COUNT

The crowd lets out a small cheer as Jimmy retreats back to his corner. Rhodes and Sandow are irate at the ref and it allows Jey to lunge and make a desperate tag to Jimmy!

WINNERS – TEAM RHODES SCHOLARS

Sandow holds his jaw as Rhodes joins him in the ring and their hands are raised. Sandow demands a microphone from the staff at ringside.

Damien Sandow: “If I may beg your indulgence…”

Sandow cocks his head up as he cradles the mic like a glass of brandy.

Damien Sandow: “Last night was just another example of the continuous discrimination that you, the unwashed masses, and society as a whole, has shown the intellectual icons such as us, Team Rhodes Scholars.”

This is met with a loud round of boos from the Las Vegas crowd.

Damien Sandow: “Team Rhodes Scholars are the finest combination of in-ring ability and expertise combined with intellect and aptitude in the WWE, and it is criminal that we are not the WWE Tag Team Champions!”

Cody Rhodes smiles as the crowd continues to boo.

Damien Sandow: “So we are demanding that the dysfunctional and dreadful Team Hell No, that you buffoons so mindlessly cheer, give us the justice that is another match for the WWE Tag Team Championships!”

Sandow now has his head firmly perched upwards with pride and arrogance.

Damien Sandow: “That is all thank you! You may all return to your jaded and mislead lives. Thank you”

Sandow drops the mic as he and Rhodes exit the ring as the crowd gives them a peace of their mind. We head back to ringside where Cole reminds us that tonight, two World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Qualifying Matches will take place – Randy Orton vs Wade Barrett, and Big Show vs Chris Jericho.

///////////////Backstage///////////////

Backstage Josh Matthews is ready for an interview.

Josh Matthews: “Ladies and gentleman please welcome my guest at this time – the 2013 Royal Rumble winner: John Cena!”

Cena enters frame to a loud reaction of boos and cheers, as per usual.

Josh Matthews: “Now John, firstly congratulations, and secondly what have you got to say about your win last night and the match you’ve been placed in at No Way Out.”

Cena smirks at Matthews.

John Cena: “Josh, I stand here with you now having achieved one of the greatest accolades in the history of the business last night, I stand here with a guaranteed mainevent match at WrestleMania, the showcase of the immortals. But all I’ve been hearing is how ‘The Rock has is back on RAW as WWE Champion’ or how ‘CM Punk was robbed of the title’. What everybody has forgotten is that I, John Cena, have accomplished something that only 3 other men in the history of this business have done!”

Cena looks intently at Josh and then back at the camera.

John Cena: “Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels, arguably the 3 greatest wrestlers of all time, are the only other men to have won 2 Royal Rumble Matches. That’s the company that I’ve worked myself to the bone to join! And as far as my match at No Way Out, well, we said never before and never again, well it’s happening again. I will team with The Rock at No Way Out, I may not enjoy it, but I will do it. I will win at No Way Out, and I’ll go on to defeat The Rock at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship.”

Cena smirks at the camera and winks before leaving.

Wade Barrett: “Is this the kind of travesty that the powers that be allow?”

Barrett is aggravated and flustered as he rants on.

Wade Barrett: “I am ordering Booker T, Teddy Long or Vickie Guerrero to get Randy Orton back out here and re-start the match! I deserve to be in the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out!!”

“CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA?”

*****RAP SHEET*****

The crowd pops for Booker T as the Smackdown General Manager comes out from the back. Barrett seems contempt with Booker’s presence.

Booker T: “Wade I saw what happened in your match with Randy Orton. All I can say is you’ve got nothing to complain about dawg, Randy Orton will be in the Elimination Chamber!”

The crowd cheers as the camera shows Barrett fuming.

Booker T: “But you know Wade there is something that I’ve been meaning to tell you. I was gonna wait until Smackdown this Friday Night on SyFy but considering you’re acting like such a punk ass I may as well tell you now! Considering there will be no WWE Championship Elimination Chamber this year, I have decided that YOU will defend your Intercontinental Championship inside the Elimination Chamber for the first time in WWE history!!!

The crowd roars as Wade screams in anger.

Booker T: “CAN YOU DIG THAT SUCKAAAA!”

Booker’s music hits as the camera shows Wade Barrett, whose night has gone from bad to worse, pacing the ring furiously. The commentary team is shocked at the announcement as they hype tonight’s mainevent – a Royal Rumble Final Four Fatal-4-Way: John Cena vs Dolph Ziggler vs Sheamus vs Ryback!

*****REALEZA*****

Back from commercial Ricardo Rodriguez introduces the World Heavyweight Champion. Alberto receives a nice reaction as he confidently struts out from the back, having won a brutal Last Man Standing Match against Big Show the previous night at the Royal Rumble. Del Rio and Ricardo make their way to the ring and Del Rio takes a mic.

Alberto Del Rio: “Big Show, in Mexico we have a word that describes you, and that word is gordo!”

Ricardo Rodriguez and Del Rio crack up laughing.

Alberto Del Rio: “Gordo stands for fat, and that’s just what Big Show is – a big, fat slob, and a big, fat sook!”

Del Rio cheekily smiles as the crowd cheers.

Alberto Del Rio: “Big Show you thought you could bully me, but I proved to you and everyone as to why I am the campeón, the champion”

Alberto Del Rio: “And champions defend their titles and that’s exactly what I will do at No Way Out in an Elimination Chamber Match!”

*****MIRACLE*****

The United States Champion cuts off the World Heavyweight Champion and Antonio Cesaro does not look to be in a good mood as he paces out from the back and down to the ring.

Antonio Cesaro: “Alberto I don’t always come out talk, in fact I prefer to come out and fight, but when I do I’ve got something important to say.”

Cesaro takes Del Rio aback.

Antonio Cesaro: “Is this it? Is this the best the WWE has to offer? Is this the kind of champion that you mindless Americans cheer for? A man who comes out and makes jokes with his ridiculous announcer, and a man who brags about scoring a cheap win. You call yourself campeón Alberto, but you’re nothing but a pretender. I am the best this company has to offer in this ring!”

Antonio Cesaro: “That World Heavyweight Championship will be mine when I beat you and 4 other men inside the Elimination Chamber because I am Antonio Cesaro”

*****JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES*****

The crowd erupts as Christian’s music hits!! Captain Charisma hasn’t been seen in months and Del Rio and Cesaro are in shock.

Finally Christian makes it out from the back with a smile on his face, before walking to the ring and joining Del Rio and Cesaro.

A loud “CHRIS-TIAN” chant fills the arena!

Christian: “My eyes must be deceiving me, I must be dreaming – Antonio Cesaro in the ring and he’s talking crap!

A loud roar from the crowd angers Cesaro.

Christian: “All you do is complain and talk crap and complain and talk crap and complain and…”

Cesaro tries to speak but is stopped by Christian.

Christian: “And talk crap! Cesaro you have the personality of a cardboard box and the fact that you are the holder of the United States Championship is a slap in the face to the great people of America!

The crowd cheers as Christian continues.

Christian: “Now I haven’t been in this ring since summer last year and the last time I was here I was Intercontinental Champion. Right now I’m standing in the middle of the ring with the World Heavyweight Champion and the United States Champion and I’m feeling great, if you know what I mean.”

Christian smiles and winks at Del Rio and Cesaro.

*****RAP SHEET*****

Once again Booker T comes out from the back to a nice ovation.

Booker T: “Christian I speak on behalf of Vickie Guerrero and myself when I say that I am thrilled that you’re back in a WWE ring. Unfortunately I have already booked the 5 Elimination Chamber Qualifier Matches.

The crowd voices their displeasure.

Booker T: But Antonio Cesaro does not have a match at No Way Out…So I am making a match between you two this Friday on Smackdown, and Christian, if you can beat Antonio Cesaro you will be the #1 contender for the United States Championship!!”

The crowd roars as Cesaro looks on in anger as Christian contently smiles and we go backstage.

///////////////Backstage///////////////

Backstage, Vickie Guerrero and Paul Heyman are shown discussing CM Punk, The Rock and John Cena as Team Hell No enters. Kane and Paul Heyman exchange looks.

Paul Heyman: “Well look Vickie, if it isn’t the ‘big red monster’ and his pet goat. You know I…I still struggle to comprehend how you incompetent morons are still the tag team champions.”

Daniel Bryan: “Oh, oh ha-ha Paul, you’re really funny Paul.”

Kane chuckles as holds back Daniel Bryan.

Daniel Bryan: “What the hell’s so funny?”

Kane: “Oh Daniel it’s nothing, it’s just, I’m surrounded by farm animals. A goat, a pig (looks at Heyman), and a cow (looks at Vickie). I mean, I feel like Old McDonald (laughs)”

The crowd lets out a huge roar of laughter as Kane chuckles. Vickie Guerrero and Paul Heyman look on, livid!

Vickie Guerrero: “Excuse me!! How dare you...”

Paul Heyman: “Vickie, Vickie it’s okay I got this…How dare you. How dare you disrespect the General Manager of this show and myself! Vickie Guerrero and I have more power than you could imagine so I suggest you keep your insults to yourselves, or you will pay.”

Kane and Daniel Bryan are taken back by Heyman’s outburst.

Vickie Guerrero: “Kane and Daniel Bryan (sneers), if you wanna make jokes at my expense, you are gonna pay! So next week on RAW you will take on every tag team in the WWE in a tag team open match, and Daniel Bryan, you are banned from ringside in Kane’s match tonight!”

Paul Heyman and Vickie Guerrero smile and laugh evilly as Kane and Bryan walk off, annoyed.

Back from the video we see Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler ringside as they discuss The Rock’s win and we see a recap of what happened earlier tonight.

<<<<<VIDEO BEGINS>>>>>

**Footage of the Rock winning the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble PPV**

The Rock: “(On Monday Night RAW) FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK, TO LASSSS VEEEGAASSS, and finally The Rock is back on RAW as the WWE Champion!”

**Footage of the Rock on RAW and the crowd cheering**

**Footage of CM Punk and Paul Heyman interrupting**

CM Punk: “For 434 days I returned the prestige to that title that was lost years and years ago. I went about restoring it’s tarnished reputation. Tarnished by the fact that it was handed to people like Triple H, Randy Orton, John Cena and yourself!”

**Footage of the crowd booing and The Rock looking on annoyed**

CM Punk: “And for all that hard work I did, for it to be washed away by Vince McMahon is nothing short of a disgrace and an insult and I demand that you, Rock, be the bigger man and relinquish the title to me!”

**More footage of a bewildered Rock and a vocal crowd as CM Punk looks on intently**

CM Punk: “I will not compete for this company until justice is served and the WWE title is returned to me.”

**“No Chance” is heard as footage of Vince McMahon returning is shown**

Vince McMahon: “And as far as I’m concerned Punk, if you refuse to compete, than you will not be fulfilling your contract therefore I have to right to fire your ass right now.”

**Footage of the crowd cheering and CM Punk looking on, livid**

CM Punk: “Alright Vince…I will compete…I will invoke my rematch for the WWE Championship in the mainevent at WrestleMania where I belong, where I should be defending the WWE title!”

**Footage of Vince McMahon smirking**

Vince McMahon: “I see that you’re not going to budge are you…considering we’re in Las Vegas I guess you can count yourself lucky…I will give you a shot at forcing your way into the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania on one condition…. You find a partner to team with to take on John Cena and The Rock at No Way Out…if you win, you’re in the mainevent at WrestleMania in a Triple Threat Match”

**Footage of the shocked reactions of John Cena, The Rock and CM Punk as the video ends**

Before we head backstage.

///////////////Backstage///////////////

Paul Heyman is shown talking on the phone before hanging up. Vince McMahon enters to a loud pop as Paul Heyman greets him nervously.

Paul Heyman: “Eh Vince, (swallows) what can I do for you?”

Vince McMahon gives Heyman a wry smile

Vince McMahon: “Paul Heyman, you slippery, pathetic joke of a man, let me tell you that you are lucky that I didn’t fire CM Punk and yourself on the spot last night at the Royal Rumble.”

Paul Heyman: “Vince let me assure you that my client CM Punk and I had nothing to do with The Shield interfering during the match last night. I can say that with my hand over my heart and I wholeheartedly apologies for the misunderstanding.”

Vince McMahon: “Paul, your word means nothing around here. I know what you and CM Punk did. But seeing as though The Rock won the WWE Title, I think justice was ironically served, if you catch my drift.

Paul Heyman: “Trust me Mr. McMahon I respect your decision, but CM Punk is the best wrestler in the world and he will do whatever it takes to regain his rightful place as WWE Champion at WrestleMania.”

Vince McMahon: “Let me tell you something Paul, I’ve been in this business all my life. Guys like you and CM Punk eventually run out of luck. So you better find someone damn good to team with CM Punk at No Way Out, because your chances of beating John Cena and The Rock are already as slim as they come. And if you dare try any funny business at No Way Out, I don’t care if it’s The Shield or Brad Maddox or whoever, I will fire both of your asses on the spot.”

Vince sneers and abruptly leaves Heyman looking upset as we head to commercial.

But I didn’t return because Vickie Guerrero wanted me to, because let’s face it Vickie Guerrero is awful. I returned for all of you Jerichoholics.

///////////////Commercial///////////////


Back from commercial and backstage, Booker T and Teddy Long are discussing the Elimination Chamber Match at No Way Out. Dolph Ziggler enters with AJ and Big E Langston.

Booker T: &#8220;How can I help you Dolph?&#8221;

Dolph Ziggler: &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry Booker but I&#8217;m just here to ask why I&#8217;m in an Elimination Chamber Qualifier Match against Ryback?&#8221;

Teddy Long and Booker T look at each other, confused.

Booker T: &#8220;Dolph you know I think you&#8217;re an extremely talented performer, and someone who I&#8217;d love to see represent Smackdown in the Elimination Chamber. So considering that Smackdown is the #1 place for the best in-ring action in the world, why wouldn&#8217;t I put you in a big match against Ryback?&#8221;

Dolph is angry at Booker&#8217;s reply

Dolph Ziggler: &#8220;Booker I&#8217;m talking about why I&#8217;m in a qualifying match in the first place!? I&#8217;m Mr. Money in the Bank! I don&#8217;t need the Elimination Chamber to win the World Heavyweight Championship because, as far as I&#8217;m concerned, I could become the champion at any time I want.

AJ Lee and Big E nod their heads as Booker and Teddy exchange looks. From the side, Chris Jericho enters to a roar from the crowd.

Jericho smiles at Dolph before turning to Booker.

Dolph Ziggler: &#8220;Well if it isn&#8217;t another washed-up hack. I thought we had enough on this show, but clearly not. How many comebacks have you made Jericho? 3?&#8221;

Jericho smirks at Ziggler before ignoring him.

Chris Jericho: &#8220;Booker you wanted to see me?&#8221;

Booker T: &#8220;That&#8217;s right Chris. After you were distracted by Dolph Ziggler and lost your Elimination Chamber Match Qualifier on Monday night RAW, I&#8217;ve decided give you a reprieve, and put you in the Elimination Chamber Match.

Jericho nods his head in approval and shakes Bookers hand.

Chris Jericho: &#8220;Alright! Thank you Booker that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m talking about.&#8221;

Dolph Ziggler: &#8220;Woah, woah, woah, woah you&#8217;re just gonna put him in the match like that? I was going to have to face Ryback but Jericho just gets to walk in after losing his match!?

Booker T: &#8220;You bet your ass I am Dolph. And to be honest I don&#8217;t know why you care so much? You want nothing to do with the match so as far as I&#8217;m concerned you can leave.&#8221;

Ziggler angrily steps closer to Booker.

AJ Lee: &#8220;Oh we&#8217;ll leave, it&#8217;s clear how little you value a great performer like Dolph Ziggler! Come on boys, let&#8217;s go.

Dolph Ziggler: &#8220;You&#8217;re right AJ. (Looks at Jericho) Jericho, good luck in the Elimination Chamber. Because after seeing you at the Royal Rumble and on RAW, you clearly need it now days.&#8221;

Dolph, AJ and Big E laugh as they turn to go, but Booker grabs Dolph by the arm.

Booker T: &#8220;Oh I didn&#8217;t mean leave the building, you&#8217;re still competing. You may not have a Qualifying Match with Ryback, but your match with him is still on!

The crowd roars as Ziggler stares Booker down in disgust. Jericho chuckles in the background before leaning into Ziggler:

Chris Jericho: &#8220;Good luck Dolph&#8230;(turns away before turning back)&#8230;you clearly need it.&#8221;

Jericho, Booker T and Teddy Long exit, leaving Ziggler, Big E and AJ fuming.

Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns swamp the ring as they beat down Del Rio and Orton! The camera shows Big Show, smiling, retreating up the ramp.

Back in the ring and the commotion continues as Del Rio grabs Roman Reigns and throws him through the ropes and out of the ring. Ambrose and Rollins turn around, and Del Rio drops the former with a roundhouse kick. Randy Orton has got to his feet and stands in the corner. Dean Ambrose grabs Del Rio and drives him back into Orton! Del Rio’s elbow flies around and catches Orton in the side of the head! Orton angrily grabs his head as Del Rio fights back. He hits a flurry of right hands to stun Ambrose. All of a sudden Orton grabs Del Rio and turns him around, RKO!!!

The crowd gasps in absolute shock as Orton drops the World Champion with an RKO! Orton gets to his feet and angrily storms out of the ring, leaving behind Del Rio on his own. The three members of The Shield are now back in the ring and ready for destruction. Ambrose directs traffic as he and Rollins pick up Del Rio. They set him up in position as Reigns comes in. The trio slams Del Rio to the mat with a triple Powerbomb!!

The Shield then stand over the lifeless World Champ as the show ends.

[JamJam]

First off, the opening segment was a bit off to me. I think Rock would&#8217;ve said a lot more and he just didn&#8217;t sound like himself in some of the sentences you wrote for him. I know I&#8217;m not even doing full shows but hey, I commend you on taking on such a task. The opening segment seemed a bit crowded if I&#8217;m honest. I would&#8217;ve had Rock have his championship address only for Punk to come out and interrupt him. Also, having Vince come out and make a match that quickly was sort of boring. I think he would&#8217;ve made a bigger deal out of it because hell, it&#8217;s Cena and Rock teaming up.

You write Sandow really well here. I would&#8217;ve liked for Rhodes to have said something but Sandow&#8217;s promo was more than enough for me. It&#8217;s a good thing you have a grasp on Sandow&#8217;s character because some people may find it difficult to write for him. However, the promo didn&#8217;t really have much substance. They demanded for a title shot, so what? They should&#8217;ve bashed Team Hell No even more and put themselves over more. And after that, we hear from Cena again. Might be too soon. He said some good things but again, I think more could&#8217;ve been added. He&#8217;s teaming with the Rock and well, to add more spice to the feud they&#8217;re gonna have, Cena should&#8217;ve said more.

IC Title in an EC Match? I&#8217;m liking this decision man. Not only has it never been done, but it does wonders for the IC Title, making it seem like a big deal belt like it was back in the day. Good job on that. Hmm, I see you did the route of someone interrupting the champion and making themselves known that they&#8217;re a threat. I think this route is good for just once in a show man, you did it again here with the WHC. Also, Del Rio&#8217;s promo was pretty heelish so you might wanna pay attention to that. Lots of messy segments so far in the show. That Team Hell No segment had me laughing though :lmao The tag team stuff was pretty smart imo, letting every team be exposed next week.

I&#8217;ll just fast forward to the ending now. But wow, what a partner! Brock and Punk teaming vs. Cena and Rock? That&#8217;s one hell of a match. I like how you&#8217;ve already done a lot of things different than the WWE did. Right away, this project is already going in the direction that you want it to go. Usually that takes a few shows, but you&#8217;ve managed to do it in one show, good job. Overall, good show. Some stuff that needs to be worked on but nothing too major.

As for Smackdown, nothing really to complain about. There&#8217;s just some segments that need to be better. Also, I think your commercial breaks may be all over the place, but that&#8217;s just me. Break up your shows a little better. You clearly do well in match writing but it&#8217;s the promos where you need to improve. Again, I commend you on doing full shows, but right now, it&#8217;s kind of hard for me to get into your shows. Maybe recaps may suit your better? Also, your formatting looks to be pretty hard to do, I suggest going a more simple route. Also, the graphics are fine but then, it could prolong how fast you get a show up. I suggest only using the match cards for PPVs and special episodes. But overall man, you&#8217;re doing a fine job. I&#8217;ll keep reading!
