Additional Information:

There have been several outcrys from the fans for Jim Ross to return to the announce desk to call Monday Night RAW alongside Jerry Lawler, but Ross doesn't feel like it would be fair to Michael Cole. Ross knows that the role of lead announcer and voice of the WWE has been passed onto Michael Cole and it would be unfair to step in at this juncture. So Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler will serve as the lead announce team for Monday Night RAW and pay-per-views.

However, Jim Ross has said he would be available to call a few SmackDown shows if need be. He would be teaming with Matt Striker at the announce desk should the occasion occur.

Also, the WWE realizes that kids are their #1 demographic, but from this point forward they will be producing a slightly more edgy product. Not as Extreme as the Attitude Era, but enough to please all age groups.

Thank You for your time.​

After the intro and pyro display.....


JUSTIN ROBERTS:
Ladies and Gentlemen, at this time, please welcome, Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar!​

***Here Comes The Pain***

The fans pop as Lesnar and Heyman walk out and make their way down to the ring.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Monday Night RAW is Live from Fresno State University 24 hours removed from WWE SummerSlam last night where this man Brock Lesnar defeated Triple H in one hard fought battle King.

JERRY LAWLER:
You got that right. I mean, Triple H hit Brock with two pedigrees, but he would not stay down.

MICHAEL COLE:
And Lesnar was finally able to hook the Komura Lock and break Triple H's arm in the second time.​

PAUL HEYMAN:
Ladies and Gentlemen, if you can quiet down for a minute and let me speak.

The sold out crowd in Fresno rain the boos down on Heyman & Lesnar. ​

PAUL HEYMAN:​

If I were a Triple H fan, I would be upset too. You see, last night at SummerSlam, Brock Lesnar faced Triple H in a fight that was hard to watch. Two brawlers, squaring off and landing blows that would render any normal man unconscious. It was a true Battle of the Titans. But when all was said and done, the Titan that emerged from the smoke wasn't Triple H. It was Brock Lesnar. Last night at SummerSlam, not only did Brock Lesnar defeat Triple H, but Brock Lesnar forced The Game, The King of Kings, the Cerebral Assassin to Tap Out. He forced Triple H to quit on his family, on himself, but more importantly, he quit on all of you!

The fans continue to boo and start a You Suck! Chant directed at Heyman and Lesnar.​

PAUL HEYMAN:​

Don't point the finger at myself or Brock Lesnar because this is what Triple H wanted. He asked for a fight and he got one. In fact, it was Triple H who called the referee into his Locker Room and wanted the rules to bent and look what happened. Brock Lesnar left Triple H in the middle of this ring, a defeated, broken, pitiful man. At this time, I would like to call the referee of last night's match, Scott Armstrong, down to this ring because my client Brock Lesnar would like to address you.​

****​

PAUL HEYMAN:
Mr. Referee, Brock Lesnar and I are anxiously waiting your arrival. You don't want Brock to get impatient. Bad things happen when Brock gets....​

***Voices***​

The noise is deafening as the fans rise up and give The Viper a HUGE reaction!

MICHAEL COLE:
Oh My! It's The Viper Randy Orton!

JERRY LAWLER:
What's Randy Orton doing out here? I hope he knows what he's doing making his way down with Brock Lesnar in the ring.

MICHAEL COLE:
This could get very interesting.​

PAUL HEYMAN:
Who the hell do you think you are?

Instead of a response, Orton snatches the mic out of Heyman's hand. Lesnar is ready to pounce but Heyman holds him back and mouths, "Let's hear what he has to say."​

RANDY ORTON:
Brock Lesnar. Do you remember the last time we met? Of course not because when I was a rookie starting out in the WWE, you were already the WWE Champion. You had one of the most dominating title reigns in this company's history. And then in 2004, you walked out of the WWE. The very same year, somebody surpassed you as the youngest world champion in WWE history. And his name is Randy Orton.

Fans start cheering as Brock smirks a little bit.​

RANDY ORTON:​

But I didn't come out here to harp on about my past success. A lot has changed between then and now. And of all the years we worked together, we never got a chance to talk, and since I got you out here and Paul Heyman continues to run his mouth, I figured I'd come out here and address you face to face. You must feel real tough after beating down Triple H last night. Paul Heyman was probably going to kiss your ass even more and say you are the most dominant man in the WWE. I bet he was going to say that there was nobody in the back that could stand up to Brock Lesnar. I beg to differ.

Another big pop for The Viper. Heyman looks around at the people, but Lesnar's eyes stay locked on Orton.​

RANDY ORTON:​

Ever since you've been back, you faced Triple H and you faced John Cena, but you've avoided Randy Orton. It's time that you went toe to toe with The Viper. What do you say Brock? Do you have what it takes to break my arm?​

MICHAEL COLE:​

This situation is ready to explode at any minute!​

Orton and Brock are face to face, but Heyman chimes in.​

PAUL HEYMAN:​

Excuse me, Mr. Orton. I don't know who the hell you think you are coming out here and not only interrupting my client Brock Lesnar, but having the audacity to challenge Brock Lesnar. If you want to end up like Triple H, be my guest---​

Orton grabs Heyman by the neck, and Brock reacts by hammering away on Orton. They fight over to the corner where Brock viciously buries his shoulder into the abdomen of Orton. He goes to whip Orton in the opposite corner, but Orton reverses and sends Brock in the corner with force as he ricochets off the turnbuckle and drops to the mat.

The fans come unglued as Orton drops to the mat as well. He bangs his fists on the mat, poised to attempt the RKO. Lesnar makes his way up as does Orton. Orton attempts the RKO, but Lesnar shoves him off and slides out of the ring to a TON of boos from the crowd.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Orton going for the RKO, but Brock Lesnar had other ideas!​

JERRY LAWLER:​

You got that right. Lesnar put his tail between his legs and hightailed it out of the ring.​

Randy Orton's music plays in the arena as he stands tall in the ring. Brock wants one more crack at Orton, but Heyman holds him back.​

MICHAEL COLE:​

The Viper standing tall in the ring as Lesnar and Heyman head for higher ground! What an explosive way to kick off Monday Night RAW!​

***COMMERCIAL***​

Back from Commercial and Cole and Lawler recap what happened between Orton and Lesnar.

After the recap, Matt Striker is standing by with AJ.​

MATT STRIKER:​

AJ, during the break, I heard that you took action with the whole Brock Lesnar/Randy Orton situation. What exactly have you done?

AJ:
Well Matt, if you must know, I don't think we'll be seeing Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar for the rest of the night because I had security escort them out of the arena. And as for Randy Orton, since he wants to compete so bad, and since I was so impressed at the way he stood up to Brock Lesnar, I think he needs to be rewarded. So, tonight on RAW, Randy Orton will go one-on-one with Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship!

He climbs to the top turnbuckle and Epico grabs the ref, forcing Primo to attack Kofi and straddle him on the top turnbuckle behind the ref's back.

Ladies and Gentlemen, still to come tonight, a blockbuster match made by Commissioner AJ, Sheamus will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton.

JERRY LAWLER:
Also, after retaining the WWE Championship last night, CM Punk said that he was going to address the WWE Universe tonight! I wonder what he'll have to say.

MICHAEL COLE:
Also, Ladies and Gentlemen, last night at Summerslam, it was the Perfect Storm. Brock Lesnar and Triple H in a war. But after the match look at the way Triple H looked at the WWE Universe apologizing and saying goodbye. Could this have been the last we see of Triple H?​

The video plays of Triple H getting a standing ovation and looking like he's saying goodbye to the WWE Universe. Once the video is finished, we fade to black to another commercial.​

***COMMERCIAL***​

Back from Commercial and Ricardo is pacing back and forth in parking lot anticipating Alberto Del Rio's arrival.​

In the ring, two local wrestlers are awaiting....​

***Meat on the Table***

Ryback
291 lbs
Sin City​

Ryback gets more and more popular as the fans give him a decent reaction as me makes his way down to the ring.​

MICHAEL COLE:
As Ryback makes his way down to the ring, Ricardo is nervously awaiting Alberto Del Rio's arrival. He's going to be quite upset when hears that Randy Orton was given a World Title match tonight.

JERRY LAWLER:
Not only that, but Del Rio is gonna want a rematch after last night and he won't get it!​

Ryback vs Jason Stanton & Luke Walls​

The jobbers are in the corner deciding who should go first, but Ryback decides for them as he grabs Jason and drops him with a German Suplex. Luke looks around and tries hammering away on Ryback to some laughs from the crowd. Ryback doesn't even budge as he eats all these shots. He grabs Luke by the throat and picks him up over his head! He turns and throws him into his tag team partner! Ryback starts up the "Feed Me More!" He gets his arm up and beheads Luke with a clothesline.

Jinder Mahal storms the ring and takes Ryback down by chopblocking him at the back of the knee. Mahal gets booed as he mocks Ryback and does the "Feed Me More!" Chant.

He leaves the ring and grabs a chair from ringside and heads back in. Mahal sizes up the big man and charges, but Ryback punches the chair out of Mahal's hand! Ryback goes after Mahal, but he quickly flees from the ring.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Ryback just punched that chair right out of the hands of Jinder Mahal!

JERRY LAWLER:
Look at Mahal! He's headin' for the hills!

MICHAEL COLE:
Somewhere down the road, there's gonna be nowhere to run for Jinder Mahal.​

Mahal backs up the ramp as Ryback stares him down.​

Back in the parking lot, Alberto Del Rio finally pulls up and Ricardo rushes to the driver's side. He starts talking fast in Spanish as Del Rio gets out of his car. Once he's finished, Del Rio becomes incensed and storms off with Ricardo still behind him talking.​

JERRY LAWLER:
It looks like Del Rio finally found out the news.

MICHAEL COLE:
I think they're both headed out here!​

***Realeza***

Alberto Del Rio's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring with Ricardo arguing the whole way down.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Back on Monday Night RAW and here comes Alberto Del Rio who looks to be in quite the mood.

JERRY LAWLER:
Can ya blame him? I mean, Del Rio's foot was on the ropes last night when the referee counted the fall and Sheamus threw it off at the last minute.

MICHAEL COLE:
Del Rio just found out before we went to commercial break that Co-Commissioner AJ gave Randy Orton a World Heavyweight Championship match tonight with Sheamus! That can't sit well with Del Rio.​

ALBERTO DEL RIO:​

I should be standing in front of all you peasants as the NEW World Heavyweight Champion! But last night at SummerSlam, I got robbed! If you don't believe, then look at the footage!

Footage rolls from last night when Del Rio's put his foot on the ropes, the ref still counted the 1, 2, 3, and Sheamus knocking Del Rio's foot off immediately afterwards.​

ALBERTO DEL RIO:​

You see! It's a conspiracy against Alberto Del Rio! The referee did not want me to be World Heavyweight Champion. And then, that peasant Sheamus takes my off of the ropes. I came here tonight to demand a rematch with Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship, but MY title shot was given......was given to Randy Orton!​

Massive Pop for Orton.​

ALBERTO DEL RIO:
I DEMAND an explanation! I WANT my World Title Rematch!


****


***Light It Up***

AJ gets a good pop as she skips her way out to the top of the stage.​

AJ:​

Hola Alberto. As Co-Commissioner of the WWE, I do see why you're angry Alberto and you do deserve a rematch with Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship. Unfortunately, it won't be tonight. I gave Randy Orton a World Title match with Sheamus and that's something I can't change. But since you're out here, and you look like you wanna compete, I want to introduce your opponent for tonight...


****​

***Booyaka Booyaka***​

Del Rio's face turns to disgust as his long time rival, Rey Mysterio makes his way out to a great pop as we're close to his hometown of San Diego!​

MICHAEL COLE:
It's Rey Mysterio! This is not the match that Del Rio wanted.

JERRY LAWLER:
Wait a minute, this can't be fair. All Del Rio wanted was a World Title rematch.

MICHAEL COLE:
Well, Del Rio now has Rey Mysterio to worry about. Rey Mysterio goes one-on-one with Alberto Del Rio when we come back!​

***COMMERCIAL***​

Rey Mysterio vs Alberto Del Rio​

Back from the break and the match is just getting underway as Del Rio has Mysterio in a headlock. They work over to the ropes and Mysterio shoots Del Rio off.

Mysterio continues to show his tenacity by getting his shoulder up off the mat. Del Rio argues with the referee and goes back to work on Mysterio. He grabs Rey's arm and proceeds to do a surfboard submission on Rey. Rey is writhing as Del Rio cranks on the pressure. The fans make a little noise trying to get Mysterio back in this match. As soon as Rey starts to get to his feet, Del Rio kicks in the back and Rey goes back down to the mat. Del Rio lifts Mysterio up looking for a suplex, but Mysterio fights out of it and drops behind Del Rio. Mysterio dropkicks Del Rio and he lands in the ring ropes. Rey looks to the fans and dials it up as he goes for the 619, but Ricardo pulled Del Rio out of the ring just in the nick of time before the move could hit. Ricardo checks on Del Rio as Mysterio backs up, charges with a full head of steam and connects with a corkscrew plancha taking out both Del Rio and Ricardo! The fans are cheering as Rey gets back in the ring and fires the crowd up! After a few moments, Del Rio slides back in the ring where Mysterio was waiting. He hammers away on and follows it up with a couple of chops. Mysterio hits a monkey flip sending Del Rio across the ring.

MICHAEL COLE:
Come on now, the match is over. What's Del Rio's problem?

JERRY LAWLER:
It's obvious Michael, he's still steaming over last night AND tonight. Rey was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.​

The ref has to rip Del Rio off to stop the assault. Del Rio and Ricardo leave the ring as Del Rio talks in Spanish as he makes his way up the ramp.​

Cole and Lawler hype up CM Punk addressing the WWE Universe later on tonight before we go to Commercial.​

***COMMERCIAL***​

A recap is shown of the Chris Jericho/Dolph Ziggler match from last night.​

After the recap, Lillian Garcia is standing by with Chris Jericho.​

LILLIAN GARCIA:​

Well Chris, first off congratulations on your win over Dolph Ziggler from last night. I guess my question to you is, what happens now?​

CHRIS JERICHO:​

Thanks Lillian, I feel like a weight was lifted off my shoulders after I whupped Dolph Ziggler's ass last night. It serves him right for thinking that Y2J didn't have anything left in the tank. I proved to him and all my Jericholics that I'm still the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla! But as far as my future is concerned, I go on tour with Fozzy in a few weeks and I figured that I would take some time off, work on that and be back and do what I love and that's perform in front of all these people.​

VICKIE GUERRERO:​

EXCUSE ME!


Jericho's face turns to disgust and the fans start booing as they hear, then see Vickie Guerrero.​

VICKIE GUERRERO:​

So, let me get this straight. You're just gonna up and leave the WWE, AGAIN, and not even give Dolph Ziggler a rematch?​

CHRIS JERICHO:​

Well, since I can't speak with the horse, I guess the horse's ass will just have to do.


Vickie's jaw drops and the fans roar at Jericho's joke.​

CHRIS JERICHO:​

You tell Dolph that if he wants a rematch, that's fine with me. All he has to do is ask. I'm not too hard to find---


Just before Jericho could finish his sentence, Ziggler comes up from behind and smashes him in the back of the head with his Money in the Bank briefcase. Ziggler kneels down to Jericho.​

DOLPH ZIGGLER:​

I want a rematch.​

He leaves with Vickie as the camera zooms in on Jericho and we take another commercial break.​

***COMMERCIAL***​

Back from Commercial, Cole and Lawler recap Ziggler's attack on Jericho. After the recap, we see Sheamus getting ready for his BIG match tonight.​

Zack Ryder

MICHAEL COLE:
Back Live on Monday Night RAW and you saw Sheamus in the back getting ready and he has a tall task when he defends The World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton later on tonight. But what about what Ziggler did before the commercial break? What's gotten into him?

JERRY LAWLER:
Well, it's obvious that Ziggler doesn't take losing to Chris Jericho very well. He's mad that he got beat by an older man.

MICHAEL COLE:
There will be another day for those two, but in the meantime, Zack Ryder is getting ready to go one on one with Daniel Bryan.​

***Ride of the Valkyries***

Daniel Bryan
210 lbs
Aberdeen, Washington​

Daniel Bryan comes out to a sea of "YES!" Chants and Bryan tries to calm down, but then he starts yelling "NO! NO! NO!" He does it on his way down to the ring and engages in a "YES! NO!" battle with a fan in the front row. Zack Ryder has seen enough as he leaves the ring to get this match underway.​

Daniel Bryan vs Zack Ryder​

Ryder starts hammering away on Bryan around the ringside area over to the announcing table position. Ryder slams Bryan's head on the announce table sending him down to the mat. This match hasn't officially started, so anything goes for the time being, and Bryan takes advantage of that and delivers a low blow to Ryder. Bryan removes his jacket and starts to choke Ryder with it. Bryan finally sends Ryder back in the ring and now this match can get underway. The fans are chanting "YES!" and Bryan is becoming extremely aggravated. This distraction allows Ryder to dropkick Bryan in the back and send him in the turnbuckle. He delivers some chops and whips Bryan in the corner. Ryder charges, but eats a boot. Bryan then delivers a stiff kick to the back of the thigh. Ryder gets to his knees, and Bryan delivers kicks to his body saying "NO!" in between kicks. He stops after 4 or 5 kicks, and screams "NO!" Ryder takes advantage once again, and rolls up Bryan looking for the win.​

**1**

**KICK OUT!**​

Ryder goes for the Rough Ryder, but Bryan moves out of the way, shoots himself off the ropes and takes Ryder down with a clothesline. Bryan shoots off the ropes again and dropkicks Ryder in the face. He goes for the "NO!" Lock but Ryder is able to avoid it and drop Bryan with a clothesline. Bryan crawls over to the corner where Ryder follows him over. Ryder charges, but Bryan sidesteps and sends Ryder shoulder first into the ringpost. Ryder backs up and Bryan gets Ryder in the "NO!" Lock where he has no choice but to tap.​

Something tells me he's not done with Daniel Bryan just yet!​

Fresno State University​

Continued...​

Back from Commercial and Bryan is wandering around backstage saying "NO!" He runs into Co-Commissioner AJ and she's smiling.​

AJ:​

Daniel, I think you've finally lost. And because of this, I signed you up for some anger management classes. Should you refuse, these men will persuade you.​

A few men in white coats appear behind AJ and Bryan falls to the ground saying "NO!" They drag him away, but Kane comes up and attacks the men in white coats. Bryan runs away and Kane gives chase.

Unfortunately, Kane is too slow as Bryan gets in his car and drives away leaving Kane in the dust and he starts throwing things around.​

***Somebody Call My Momma***

Brodus Clay

The Disco Ball is lowered and Brodus Clay makes his entrance with Cameron and Naomi.​

JERRY LAWLER:
Good thing Daniel got away. No telling what Kane was gonna do if he got his hands on him.

MICHAEL COLE:
Well, there will be another day for Kane, but as for right now, we're getting ready for 6 man tag team action on Monday Night RAW!​

Clay's entrance with Naomi and Cameron is complete with their pyro display to a good pop.​

***Ancient Spirit***

Sin Cara

Mexico City, Mexico

Sin Cara makes his entrance to a lukewarm reaction from the crowd.​

***Victory Is Mine***

United States Champion Santino Marella
233 lbs
Calabria, Italy​

The fans give Santino a BIG ovation as he makes his way down to the ring still the United States Champion.​

MICHAEL COLE:
And here comes Santino coming off a successful title defense against Antonio Cesaro last night on the Summerslam pre-show.

JERRY LAWLER:
Santino's Cobra almost fell to the beauty of Aksana and that almost cost him the United States Championship.

MICHAEL COLE:
He needs to be more careful, because he might not be so lucky next time.​

***Smoke and Mirrors***

Cody Rhodes
215 lbs
Marietta, Georgia​

Cody Rhodes makes his way out to the ring to a good pop and he mocks Sin Cara.​

Antonio Cesaro (w/Aksana)

Antonio Cesaro makes his way down with Aksana to some new theme music and he won't take his eyes off Santino.​

JERRY LAWLER:
Look at the look on the face of Cesaro.

Antonio Cesaro would love to have one more shot at the United States Championship. He probably thinks that he can beat Santino one more time around.​

***AWESOME! I Came To Play***

Intercontinental Champion The Miz
220 lbs
Cleveland, Ohio​

The Miz makes his way out to a great pop as the Intercontinental Title looks pretty damn good on his shoulder.​

JERRY LAWLER:
Here we go Michael. Get pumped just a little bit. The most must see Intercontinental Champion, The Miz.

The Miz lucky to be in Fresno as the Intercontinental Champion. He came oh so close to losing his title to Rey Mysterio.​

6 Man Tag Team Match

Cody Rhodes and Sin Cara are gonna start this off for their respective teams. They go for a lock up, but Cody nails Sin Cara with a shot to the gut.

**KICK OUT!**​

The United States Champion shows his tenacity and refuses to give up here. Miz gets Santino in a rear naked choke looking to make the fan favorite tap out. The fans start up a "SANTINO!"

He turns around and is met by a Brodus Clay belly to belly overhead suplex. Clay whips off the ropes and hits What the Funk! He makes the cover, and hooks the leg.​

***Aleluya De El Mesias***

The fans start booing as Damien Sandow comes out with a disgusted look on his face, and he's got a microphone.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Who invited Damien Sandow out here? This has nothing to do with him.

JERRY LAWLER:
Finally, some intelligence has been brought up here Michael. You could learn a thing or two from Damien Sandow.​

DAMIEN SANDOW:​

Allow me to beg your indulgence. My name is Damien Sandow, and I am here to save all of you. And this is exactly what I was talking about before I debuted in the WWE. First of all, you have a foolish little man hiding behind a mask. An overweight, obese man who believes that he has any sort of dancing ability accompanied by two women in scantily clad clothing. And then we have the worst of them all: A ridiculous, sophomoric buffoon carrying a sock puppet in his trousers making a mockery of one of the most prestigious titles of the WWE, the United States Championship.​

Sandow now makes his way into the ring.​

DAMIEN SANDOW:
And I know that the unwashed masses may see this crass, unorthodox behavior as entertainment, but this is why I am here. I am here to usher in a new age of enlightenment and lead you out of the doldrums of your own inequities. And you people will glad that I saved you. You're Welcome.​

Santino looks at Brodus and Sin Cara, smiles, and then strikes Damien Sandow with The Cobra! Sin Cara waits for Sandow to get up and clocks him with an Enziguri. Clay finishes it off by hitting What the Funk! for the second time! Clay's music hits as Sandow is thrown out of the ring by Santino. ​

JERRY LAWLER:
This is no way to treat an intellectual savior!

MICHAEL COLE:
Damien Sandow talked too long and got just what he deserved.​

Now, the lights get dim, and the disco ball shines as numerous little kids dance with Clay, Santino, Sin Cara, Cameron, and Naomi.​

A split screen is shown with Orton on the right and Sheamus on the left.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Well, there you see them: Champion and Challenger! Shemaus defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton, Next!​

***COMMERCIAL***​

After the commercial break, another recap is shown from the HHH/Lesnar match from last night. Afterwards, Cole & Lawler bring up that HHH will be on RAW next week to discuss his loss, his actions after the match, and whether or not his career is done.​

JUSTIN ROBERTS:​

The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for The World Heavyweight Championship!

***Voices***

Randy Orton
235 lbs
St. Louis Missouri​

Another insane POP for Randy Orton as he comes out for the second time looking prepared to maybe capture The World Heavyweight Championship.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Randy Orton sure made some noise earlier tonight when came out and interrupted Brock Lesnar.

JERRY LAWLER:
Interrupted Lesnar? He came right out and got right on Brock Lesnar and pretty much beat him out of the ring!

MICHAEL COLE:
And in the eyes of Commissioner AJ, that earned him a World Championship match here against Sheamus. This is gonna be something special.​

***Written in my Face***

World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus
267 lbs
Dublin, Ireland​

Sheamus comes out to a good pop, beating his chest, and yelling "FELLA" before making his way down to the ring.​

MICHAEL COLE:
We see Sheamus for the first time tonight and what a test this will be for The World Heavyweight Championship!

JERRY LAWLER:
Let's be honest here Michael, I think Sheamus should openly give Alberto Del Rio a rematch for the World Title.

MICHAEL COLE:
How in the world do you figure that?

JERRY LAWLER:
Sheamus knocked Del Rio's foot off the ropes while the ref was counting. If the match were to continue, I think Del Rio would've been World Heavyweight Champion.

MICHAEL COLE:
Well he's not. Sheamus is the World Champion. Del Rio will have to wait until a later date to get his rematch.​

World Heavyweight Championship Match

He goes back to Orton, but gets a shot to the gut. Orton explodes out of the corner with a clothesline. Sheamus wisely rolls out of the ring to avoid Orton going for the cover.

MICHAEL COLE:
Randy Orton was screwed out of the World Title by Brock Lesnar and I know there will be another day for the Viper, but for tonight, Sheamus is still the World Heavyweight Champion. But Ladies and Gentlemen, last night CM Punk defeated Big Show and John Cena in a triple threat match to retain the WWE Championship, and Big Show was visibly upset after the loss. Take a look.​

Natalya whips Tamina off the ropes, misses a right hand, and gets taken down by a clothesline. Tamina goes after Aksana and takes her down with a snapmare.

Aksana has been eliminated.​

Rosa comes up from behind and hammers away on Tamina now. She whips her into the corner and connects with a turnbuckle clothesline.

Kaitlyn spears Eve down and they start rolling around the floor. More referees and even Layla gets involved in the fray to try and separate the two divas. But a midst all the chaos, a winner was never declared.​

We cut backstage and CM Punk is walking down the hallway and he's on his way out here next for his announcement! ​

***COMMERCIAL***​

***Cult of Personality***

The crowd roars as Punk's music hits and out comes the WWE Champion!​

MICHAEL COLE:
And here comes the WWE Champion, CM Punk. Last night, retained the WWE Championship, but only after John Cena hit the AA and Punk tossed him out of the ring.

JERRY LAWLER:
Well John Cena should learn to mind his surroundings and not to take his eyes off the prize Michael. Maybe now CM Punk will get the respect he deserves.

MICHAEL COLE:
By hook or crook, Punk is still the WWE Champion, but I wanna know what is so special about this announcement.​

CM Punk grabs the mic and the "CM PUNK!" Chants ensue.​

CM PUNK:​

You know, it's funny how things work out in the WWE these days. Before I get to what I wanted to say, I wanna go back to last night when I beat both John Cena and The Big Show to retain my WWE Championship. But still I continue to be shown a lack of respect. And that brings me to why I'm out here and that's to issue a challenge to the man I want to defend my WWE Championship against at Night of Champions: John Cena.​

The fans let out a good pop for the mention of Cena.​

CM PUNK:​

Because it seems to me that no matter what I do around here, I am still taking a backseat to John Cena. And I have also taken a backseat out of respect. It's funny because I beat John Cena last year at Money in the Bank AND Summerslam. Yet, and still, I've been taking a backseat to him. Then, it began to dawn on me, the only way I'm going to get the respect that I deserve around here is to beat John Cena yet again. Because John Cena is....​

***My Time Is Now***

The fans explode into a mix of boos and cheers as John Cena makes his way out. He does his salute and runs down to the ring.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Well, I'm sure John Cena has heard enough of CM Punk's rambling.

JERRY LAWLER:
Well, Punk says he deserves respect, but he's going about all this the wrong way.

MICHAEL COLE:
Things could get real interesting around here.​

John Cena smiles at the crowd, but CM Punk does not look impressed.​

CM PUNK:​

This is exactly what I mean John. I mean, I can't even finish my train of thought without hearing your music, seeing you run down here and stealing the spotlight. You are no different than Dwayne when it comes to stealing the spotlight. But I guess this works out for both of us because I've been wanting to talk to you about this for some time now. It's really convenient the way things are run. Ever since I won the WWE Championship, I've only been the main event of ONE WWE pay-per-view. I am the WWE Champion. It's funny cause I seem to be feeling a little deja vu, because I touched on this last year as well. Everything is about you and that bothers me. I've been saying for a year that I am The Best in the World and I proved it when I beat you a year ago to win this and at Summerslam last year. But then let's not count out last night when I beat you and Big Show. Last year, I had to to hijack this company to get what I want, and I've taken a backseat since then. But it seems that the only way I'm going to get the respect that I deserve is to beat you again at Night of Champions. So what do you say, John Boy?​

JOHN CENA:​

CM Punk. A man of the people, and one man never afraid to speak his mind. Ever since RAW 1000, you've come out here and demanded respect from these people. Like I said before, you don't get respect by demanding, you earn it. You say you've held that for 9 months. I've been here 10 years, won that 10 times, and I STILL have to come out here and fight for the respect of these people. I never once came out here and demanded respect from anybody. I never once had to leave the company with the WWE Championship to get what I want. I did it the old-fashioned way; I earned it. You want respect, here's your chance; you want me at Night of Champions? You got me at Night of Champions!​

The fans cheer as the match for the WWE Championship is on!​

JOHN CENA:​

A lot has changed between now and last summer. CM Punk has blown up and gotten more fame and popularity than he could have ever dreamed of. And you're right, you're still in the backseat. But if you want respect, you bring the WWE Championship to Night of Champions, and to MY Hometown of Boston. And if you win, then maybe, just maybe, you'll get the respect you want so badly. Because I'll be honest with you jack, it's a like a great man once said: To be the man, you gotta beat the man. And according to you, right now, although you're the WWE Champion, I am still the Man. All this talk of respect will be for nothing if you can't get the job done at Night of Champions. I believe in myself and I believe in all of these people that win, or lose they will still have my back because I see all these people in Fresno, California dressed up in green shirts, green hats, and foam fingers and instead of demanding respect from them, I come out here and fight for it.​

Surprisingly, a "CENA!" Chant breaks out.​

JOHN CENA:​

Maybe you bring your best at Night of Champions and maybe it's too much for me, but the rest is all on you. If you want that respect that you seek so badly, you have to go through me. And if you can't do it, then all that respect talk will have backfired right in your face. And I can once again say The Champ is Here!

The fans cheer as Cena turns to leave. He bumps into CM Punk on his way out. Punk grabs his shoulder and turns Cena back around.​

CM PUNK:​

I wasn't finished talking to you John. You don't get to come out here, disrespect me, and leave with the last word. That's not the way this is gonna go. Here's the deal...​

Out of nowhere, Punk drill the microphone right in Cena's face! Cena staggers for a moment, turns around, and Punk belts him in the face with the WWE Championship knocking Cena out.

The fans start booing him and Punk kneels down to Cena and shouts "RESPECT" in his face before leaving the ring.

Punk stops at the top of the ramp, raising the WWE Championship above his head as Cena is still shown out in the ring as the show fades to black.​

JAM's Review​

Wow, this is really interesting if you ask me. An Orton/Brock feud? I'm all for it! What was said between the two was good especially Orton who mentioned about surpassing Brock to be the youngest World Champion, that was a nice touch to add in there. Maybe it got physical too early but I think this is just how Brock really is and Orton is a “strike now, ask questions later” kind of guy anyway. But anyway, it was a good opening segment, enjoyed it a whole lot. Not too sure about the tag team match, was it just to display that the champions are on a roll? Didn't really see anything advance here. But you do have pretty good tag team division so maybe you can capitalize on that. Hopefully you build up a really good heel team and take the belts off Truth and Kofi. They aren't exactly the greatest, but they're the right choice to have as your tag champs for now. Good to see that Mahal/Ryback is still going on, but we all know that Ryback is coming out on top of this feud. Not really sure that giving Orton a WHC match is in AJ's power since they're Smackdown superstars, but I'm sure Del Rio somehow makes his presence known during the match.

Seems as though Cole is face? Just seems that way at least. I really hope that Del Rio doesn't stay in the World Title picture too long to be honest. He's definitely good in the ring but he's just annoying on the mic. But like I said, I think he'll somehow get involved in the Orton/Sheamus match later on and we'll probably see Lesnar as well. Not much to say on the Kane/Bryan segment as it's pretty much what is happening in real life as well at the Ziggler/Jericho segment. Well that whole six man tag was just filler to really get Sandow going. I've actually grown to like Sandow ever since he was put in a match with Sheamus on Smackdown in real life. The guy is pretty decent in the ring and is a good talker, he should be fun to watch as your next United States Champion. I knew we were going to see Brock and Del Rio in that World Title match, it was good I guess since we now know who's feuding with each other. Hopefully though we don't get another Sheamus/Del Rio match but looks like that's where it's going.

The divas division could get decent again with some feuds so I'm glad you're giving them a chance. Kaitlyn vs. Eve will probably both be in a match for the Divas Title in a triple threat which I don't mind. What Cena and Punk had to say was pretty good, it was good enough for a promo for the go home show to Night of Champions, that's how good this promo was. But it'll be interesting to see what else you have in store for these two.

Overall, it was a decent show. You caught me with the Lesnar/Orton feud that you have going, that is going to be sweet! And it looks like this Punk/Cena feud can be different so I'm looking forward to that one as well. I just wanna say that when you write shows and have segments or matches, you'd wanna have everything advance something. Don't just have a match or segment just for the heck of it. Now that RAW is three hours, you can definitely do some building so yeah, hope to see that and I'll be reading your next show!

This is my first time reading any of your work HD but figured I'd give you a chance and see how you do so heres a quick review/short feedback for you.

Randy Orton feuding with Brock Lesnar? Hmm that could be good its something new for sure im willing to give it a chance and see what you do with it.

Tag Title Match honestly I wasnt sure why it was for the titles when Kofi & Truth were just gonna retain it is only your first show a non title match may have been better here I think. Was a good match none the less though.

Typical Ryback quash match I hope you have more in store for him then squash matches soon though I wanna see some different things here then WWE is doing and it looks like Jinder is gonna feud with him which I think WWE did horrible with maybe you can do better.

I really hope you dont keep going with Del Rio vs Sheamus I dont like their matches at all maybe one more match between them on Smackdown I just have no interest in this feud at all sorry. Also Del Rio vs Rey has been done a million times I would have avoided using Rey as the opponet there but that's just me.

Bryan picks up a nice victory to keep the momentum rolling, Kane out for revenge so looks like were heading to a rematch between the two unless you pull a WWE and make them a team which I wouldnt suggest.

Cole is face and Lawler is heel? Just going based off Lawler getting pumped over Miz coming out.

6 Man tag team match was good, Saw the face team winning coming best part was Damien Sandow stopping the dancing after the match. Looks like maybe your heading to Sandow vs Santino? That would be interesting with Sandow's gimmick to see considering he would be feuding with someone who uses a sock to win matches.

Lesnar and Heyman stop Orton from winning the belt to add fuel to the fire I expect some revenge on the way from Orton in the near future and honestly I was surprised he didnt even attempt the RKO on Heyman but not a big deal that he didnt. Again dont like the Del Rio vs Sheamus stuff at all but oh well.

Overall honestly I feel like minus the Orton vs Lesnar stuff I feel like I just watched an episode of the actual RAW and right now the current product in WWE sucks so its hard for me to get into your stuff but hey its only been 1 show I will check out your next few shows atleast for sure and see where you take things and if you change some the feuds up a little bit. Good first show HD looking forward to seeing what you change about WWE though.

 

[Mr. HD]

Before the SmackDown Intro comes on, a video recaps the closing moments of RAW last Monday with CM Punk and John Cena.​

***DO YOU KNOW YOUR ENEMY? - GREEN DAY***​

***PYRO***
***PYRO***
***PYRO***​

MICHAEL COLE:​

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to Friday Night SmackDown! Michael Cole alongside Matt Striker and partner, this is going to be one interesting night.​

MATT STRIKER:​

Oh, look at this lineup. We have a #1 Contenders Battle Royal to determine who will face The Miz at Night of Champions for the Intercontinental Title. And later on tonight, we have a Triple Threat match to determine who will meet Santino at Night of Champions for the United States Championship when Damien Sandow, Brodus Clay, and Antonio Cesaro will duke it out until one man is left standing.​

MICHAEL COLE:​

And we expect to hear from The Viper, Randy Orton after his confrontation with Brock Lesnar last Monday on RAW!​

MATT STRIKER:​

What a night it's gonna be!​

***Cult of Personality***​

The WWE Champion comes out to a mixed reaction and he looks to be all business making his way down to the ring.​

MICHAEL COLE:​

CM Punk is quite unpopular these days after what he did to John Cena last Monday night on RAW.​

MATT STRIKER:​

I think all CM Punk did was send a message Michael. Not only to John Cena, but to the entire WWE Roster. He will not be disrespected by anybody.

MICHAEL COLE:
Either way, the match is set: It will be CM Punk and John Cena one-on-one for the WWE Championship at Night of Champions in Cena's hometown of Boston.​

CM Punk sits Indian style in the middle of the ring with a microphone.​

CM PUNK:​

I wanna talk to all you people about the word respect. You see, ever since I won the WWE Championship, I haven't been shown any. John Cena, on the other hand, is not the WWE Champion and he gets my Main Event time and MY spotlight. Now, I know I upset a few little kids with what I did to John Cena last Monday on RAW. But what I did was send him a message. He came out on my time and showed me a gross lack of respect and what he got was a result of his disrespectful behavior. It's very simple, I don't care who you are, I will put down anybody who shows me disrespect. You people boo me, and you probably think that you're better than me. Is that what you people think? You people have a lot to learn about the way I conduct business. I bet John Cena thinks he's better than me too. Well, John Cena is just like all of you people: WRONG! You people will learn to respect me and so will John Cena. Even if I have to beat it out of him. That's why at Night of Champions, I guarantee that--


***My Time Is Now***

John Cena's music hits and the roof comes off the arena!​

MICHAEL COLE: ​

It's John Cena!

MATT STRIKER:
Punk look out!

Cena sprints into the ring and tackles Punk down to the mat and starts hammering away on the WWE Champion. Referees and other personnel make their way out from the back and try to separate them.

MICHAEL COLE:
Cena has gone crazy! He's trying to rip the WWE Champion apart!

MATT STRIKER:
Ge that madman off the WWE Champion!​

The referees finally pull Cena off of Punk. Punk smiles as Cena is being held back and slaps him in the face! Cena breaks free and hops on Punk and goes back to work. Punk escapes the ring through the bottom rope as personnel holds Cena back again.​

MICHAEL COLE:​

The WWE Champion has decided that discretion is the better part of valor and looks like he's heading for the hills.

Cena's music plays as Punk walks up the apron with his title. Cena's face looks intense as he wants to get his hands on Punk.

MATT STRIKER:​

Cena's lucky he's being held back by numerous personnel.​

MICHAEL COLE:​

I think it's other way around. I think Punk is the lucky one. He tried a cheap shot which only made Cena more angry. There's gonna be no running for Punk at Night of Champions. What a way to kick off SmackDown!​

***COMMERCIAL***​

Back on SmackDown and Cole & Striker recap what just happened with Cena & Punk. After the recap, we head to the ring, it's filled up with WWE Superstars.​

MICHAEL COLE: ​

We're back on SmackDown and we're ready for a 10 man over the top rope battle royal to determine the #1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship at Night of Champions.

***AWESOME! I Came To Play***

Intercontinental Champion The Miz
220 lbs
Cleveland, Ohio

All the superstars in the ring look to the set as The Miz strolls out, microphone in hand.

MATT STRIKER:
It looks like we're going to be joined by the most must see Intercontinental Champion of all time Michael!

MICHAEL COLE:
Well, we know The Miz isn't in this match, but I would like to know what he's doing out here.​

THE MIZ:​

Really? Really? Really? At Night of Champions, I would have to defend my Intercontinental Championship against one of you so called superstars? I won the Intercontinental Championship on the 1000th Episode of RAW and have held it ever since. This is the closest any of you will get to MY Championship. It makes no difference who wins because I will go onto Night of Champions and easily retain my title. Why? Because I'm The Miz......and I'm AWESOME!​

Miz makes his way over to the announce table and joins Cole & Striker on commentary.​

Match 1:
10 Man over-the-top rope battle royal to determine #1 Contender to the Intercontinental Championship
Rey Mysterio vs Alex Riley vs Tensai vs Jack Swagger vs Zack Ryder vs Yoshi Tatsu vs Cody Rhodes vs Ezekial Jackson vs David Otunga vs Mason Ryan​

The bell rings and the smaller superstars charge after Ryan, Jackson, and Tensai trying to get the big guys out first. The big men throw off the small competition with ease. Tensai turns around and clotheslines Mason Ryan, and drops Jackson with a big boot. Tatsu runs up to him and starts delivering martial arts kicks to the legs trying to tie up those thigh muscles, but Tensai eats all of the hits. Tatsu shoots off the ropes, but gets caught by Tensai and gets put down with a HUGE powerslam. He takes Tatsu's limp body and tosses him over the top rope.

Yoshi Tatsu has been eliminated.

Tensai turns around and Mysterio hits him with a dropkick which doesn't take the big man down. He charges, but Tensai clotheslines him. Rhodes is in the corner stomping away on Alex Riley. He backs up and charges, but gets intercepted by Zack Ryder. Ryder is up and drops Rhodes with the Zack Attack. Rhodes crawls into the corner and Ryder warms up for the Broski Boot. After he does his "Woo Woo Woo" Shtick, Swagger grabs him and tosses him out of the ring.

Zack Ryder has been eliminated.

Swagger taunts Ryder and does his "Woo Woo Woo" impression. He turns into the arms of Ezekial Jackson. Swagger goes for a right which is blocked and he gets dropped with a clothesline. Jackson lifts Swagger up and over his head and launches him over the top rope and onto the floor!

Jack Swagger has been eliminated.

Ezekial Jackson stands tall as we take a quick commercial break.​

***COMMERCIAL***​

Back from break and we're down to Tensai, Ezekial Jackson, Rey Mysterio, Cody Rhodes, and Alex Riley. We're shown that during the break, Tensai eliminated both Mason Ryan and David Otunga.​

Tensai is working on Alex Riley in the corner. He tosses Riley over the top, but he holds on and slides back into the ring. Rhodes is choking Mysterio in the corner. He whips him into the corner, charges, but eats a boot. Mysterio climbs the top turnbuckle and hits Rhodes with a seated senton. Rhodes crawls over to the ring ropes putting him in position for the 619. Mysterio hits it and sends Rhodes halfway across the ring. Mysterio springs off the ropes and lands into the arms of Tensai. Tensai walks his way over to the ropes to eliminate him, but Mysterio uses Tensai's momentum against him and hurricanranas him out of the ring and down to the floor for a BIG pop from the crowd!

Tensai has been eliminated.

Tensai can't believe it and he's going crazy as refs urge him to walk to the back. Mysterio celebrates too long as Rhodes comes up from behind and eliminates Mysterio!

Rey Mysterio has been eliminated.

Rhodes mocks Mysterio and the crowd, but here comes Ezekial Jackson. Jackson charges and clobbers Rhodes in the back. He shoots Rhodes into the corner. Jackson charges, but eats the turnbuckle. Rhodes connects with the disaster kick staggering the big man. Rhodes then capitalizes and clotheslines Jackson out of the ring!

Ezekial Jackson has been eliminated.

Rhodes gets on the top turnbuckle and thinks he's won, but Alex Riley is still in the match. Riley takes this opportunity and shoves Rhodes off the top rope, onto the barricade, and down to the floor for the win!​

Winner: Alex Riley (11:27)​

Alex Riley's music hits as he celebrates his win and shot at the Intercontinental Championship at Night of Champions. Miz stands up in disgust.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Alex Riley has done it! The man nobody probably had winning this match has shocked us all and now he has an Intercontinental Championship match at Night of Champions.

MATT STRIKER:
A rivalry renewed between The Miz and Alex Riley. The teacher and his student are going to collide one more time at Night of Champions for the Intercontinental Championship.​

Alex Riley smiles, points at The Miz and motions that he will be the next Intercontinental Champion. The Miz glares at him as we head backstage as Josh Matthews is standing by with Damien Sandow.​

JOSH MATTHEWS:
Well, Mr. Sandow, a new #1 contender has been crowned for the Intercontinental Championship and tonight, you, Brodus Clay, and Antonio Cesaro will battle to determine the #1 contender for the United States Championship.

DAMIEN SANDOW:
Joshua, this is a glorious night. Because tonight, I will move one step forward to saving the unwashed masses. I meant what I said on RAW this past Monday when I said Santino was making a mockery of the prestigious United States Championship. And after I defeat Brodus and Antonio, I will go to Night of Champions and justice will be served as I win the United States Championship, usher in a new age of enlightenment, and bring prestige back to the United States Championship. You're Welcome.​

He walks away as we head to Commercial.​

***COMMERCIAL***​

Back from the break and Jinder Mahal is making his entrance to the ring getting ready to take on a local jobber. We are shown what happened on RAW last Monday between Ryback and Jinder Mahal.​

Match 2:
Jinder Mahal vs Local Jobber​

Jinder Mahal charges and starts hammering furiously away on the young man. He brings over to the corner and connects with multiple shoulder blocks deep into the abdomen. He clobbers the jobber and sends him into the other corner with velocity. Mahal smiles and poses to boos from the crowd. This young kid regroups for a minute and connects with right hands to the abdomen of Mahal. He shoots off the ropes and connects with a flying sidekick. Mahal gets to one knee and the jobber delivers a stiff kick to the side of the head. He gets all fired up, but as soon as he turns around, Mahal drops him with a thunderous clothesline. Mahal starts doing Ryback's "Feed Me More!" and finishes the jobber off with Ryback's shellshocked finishing move! He covers, hooks the leg, and this one is over.​

Winner: Jinder Mahal (2:11)​

Jinder Mahal is all smiles and grabs a
microphone.​

JINDER MAHAL:
You see! You people see how easy that was?!?! All you ignorant people do is chant for Ryback. Where is he now? Huh?!?! I'm calling out Ryback right here, right now! I'm snot going anywhere!​

Mahal drops the mic and looks like he's ready to go.​

MATT STRIKER:
Does Mahal have a death wish?

MICHAEL COLE:
I have to admit, he has a lot guts calling out Ryback.

MATT STRIKER:
This is either really smart, or really dumb.

***Meat on the Table***

Ryback
291 lbs
Sin City​

A BIG pop is heard among the crowd as Ryback makes his way out! He grins and starts walking down to the ring.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Well, be careful what you wish for Jinder because you just might get it!

MATT STRIKER:
It's not too late, Jinder can still run out the ring and escape through the crowd.

Ryback climbs the steps and enters the ring. Mahal is chomping at the bit and Ryback is standing there waiting for Mahal to jump first.

MICHAEL COLE:
Both men are staring each other down waiting for each other to make the first move!​

Mahal starts to approach Ryback, but wises up and slowly backs up and leaves the ring. The fans are booing as Mahal walks back up the ramp.​

MATT STRIKER:
Jinder Mahal made a wise move here Michael. He's going to face Ryback when he's ready, not when Ryback is ready.

MICHAEL COLE:
Jinder Mahal once again showing that discretion is the better part of valor. But how many times can Jinder Mahal run from Ryback? Sooner or later, he will have to stay and fight.​

Cole and Striker hype up Randy Orton coming out for later on tonight before we head to Commercial.​

***COMMERCIAL***​

Back from break and Jinder Mahal is his locker room packing his bags. He walks out and is met by Booker T.​

BOOKER T.
Going somewhere?

JINDER MAHAL:
Yeah, I'm going back to my hotel.

BOOKER T.
Before you go, there's something I should inform you of. All this running around and avoiding Ryback has got to stop.

JINDER MAHAL:
I'm going to face Ryback when I'm at at 100%. He's lucky I left when I did because I was going to put him down.

BOOKER T.
Is that a fact?

JINDER MAHAL:
You damn right it is.

BOOKER T.
Well, I'm glad you feel that way. This means you'll have no problem facing Ryback at Night of Champions inside of a Steel Cage.

JINDER MAHAL:
WHAT?!?!​

Booker walks off as Jinder tries to talk some sense into him.​

 

[Mr. HD]

Continued...​

Back from the break and Josh Matthews is standing by with the Divas Champion, Layla.​

JOSH MATTHEWS:​

Last Monday on RAW, there was a battle royal to determine the #1 contender for the Divas Championship and there were two winners. And in the interest of fairness, it's going to now be a triple threat match at Night of Champions for the Divas title. You Layla, defending against both Eve and Kaitlyn. Your thoughts?​

LAYLA:​

It's gonna be quite a test to see how far I've come as Divas Champion. I welcome this challenge and coming out on top is the only thing on my mind.

Eve walks onto the scene and interrupts the Divas Champion.​

EVE:​

I'll tell you what else should be on your mind: losing the Divas Championship. Because that's exactly what'll happen at Night of Champions. It's about time the Divas Championship was put into more proper hands and it will be when I beat you and that joke Kaitlyn. Speaking of that joke, I'm about to go out there and give her the punchline.


TONY CHIMEL:
The following Divas contest is scheduled for one fall!


***Spin The Bottle***

Kaitlyn
Houston, Texas​

Kaitlyn makes her way out to a mild reaction.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Well, Eve certainly sounds she's only got one thing on her mind and that's becoming the Divas Champion.

MATT STRIKER:
But what about the X-Factor in Kaitlyn? She's certainly looking to throw a monkey wrench in that little scenario.


***She Looks Good***

Eve
Denver, Colorado​

Eve makes her way out to some boos.​

MATT STRIKER:
Michael, I'll tell you this, I think this triple threat is unfair. Eve should be the one facing Layla at Night of Champions. She clearly won that Battle Royal on Monday.

MICHAEL COLE:
I'm pretty sure I called the match and saw both Eve and Kaitlyn's feet hit at the same time. If Layla doesn't have a problem with this match, then I guess it's fine.​

Match 2:
Kaitlyn vs Eve​

Both Divas mouth off to each other and Kaitlyn finally takes her down and hammers away. Eve kicks her off and crawls to the ring ropes. Kaitlyn charges, but gets backdropped out of the ring and down to the floor. Kaitlyn tries to get back in, but Eve hits her with a baseball slide. She walks around the ring and poses as Kaitlyn crawls back in the ring. Eve goes to work and sends Kaitlyn into the corner. She charges, but eats a boot. Kaitlyn now uses her power and breaks out of the corner and drops Eve with a clothesline. Kaitlyn gets on the top rope and takes Eve down with a reverse elbow and follows it up with a pinning combination

**1**
**2**
**KICK OUT!**

Eve gets that shoulder up. She crawls to the corner luring Kaitlyn in, grabs her by the tights, and sends her into the middle turnbuckle. Eve picks Kaitlyn up and takes her down with a Samoan Drop. She poses and smiles before making the cover.

**1**
**2**
**KICK OUT!**

Kaitlyn kicks out as Eve can't believe it. She tries to lock in a sleeper, but Kaitlyn avoids it and connects with a forearm. She bounces off the ropes, but Eve takes her down with a flying clothesline! Eve makes the cover and hooks the leg.

**1**
**2**
**KICK OUT!**

Kaitlyn again gets the shoulder up! Eve has had enough and attempts a suplex. Kaitlyn counters and hits a front suplex dropping Eve on her face. Kaitlyn sets Eve up for what looks to be a powerbomb. She picks Eve up and connects with a Batista Bomb like powerbomb! Eve's shoulders are down as the ref makes the count.

**1**
**2**
**3**​

Winner: Kaitlyn (3:11)​

Kaitlyn is excited as she gets her hand raised in victory!​

MICHAEL COLE:
Well, it looks like that win wasn't as easy as Eve thought it was going to be.

MATT STRIKER:​

I say watch out Eve and watch out Layla, because Kaitlyn will not be ignored.

Kaitlyn smiles and walks up the ramp as Eve gives her an evil look. ​

BACKSTAGE:​

Randy Orton is seen walking and looks like he's on his way out to the ring.​

MICHAEL COLE:
And here comes The Viper Randy Orton, and he must be seething after Brock Lesnar cost him the World Heavyweight Championship on RAW. He's going to address the WWE Universe next!​

***COMMERCIAL***​

***Voices***​

The pop is HUGE for Randy Orton as he makes his way out!​

MICHAEL COLE:
These fans are on their feet for The Viper! Last Monday on RAW, Randy Orton got in Brock Lesnar's face and took to the next big thing. Lesnar came back the same night and attacked Orton during his World Title with Sheamus.

MATT STRIKER:
If you ask me, Orton brought it on himself. Why would he get in the face of the baddest man in the land in Brock Lesnar? Does he not know what he's capable of?

MICHAEL COLE:​

Randy Orton is dangerous in his own right, but let's hear what he's got say.​

Orton grabs a mic and he does not look happy.​

RANDY ORTON:​

Brock. Lesnar. Who in the hell is Brock Lesnar? Last Monday on RAW, Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar ran their mouths about what happened to Triple H at Summerslam. I took it upon myself to go out there and get in his face and show him that some of these superstars in the back aren't afraid of him. And then what happened when stepped up to The Viper? I kicked his ass! (Crowd POP) But it didn't end there. He couldn't handle that, so he decided to get involved in my World Heavyweight Championship Match. So, of course Lesnar isn't here tonight, but I'll deal with him a later time. What I want tonight, is a rematch with Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship. So Booker, I know you're back there, get out here and make the match.

MATT STRIKER:
Hold on, who is Randy Orton to make demands out here?

MICHAEL COLE:
I'd say he deserves a fair one-on-one rematch.


****


***Realeza***

The fans boo as Del Rio, instead of driving out here, makes his way down the ramp, microphone in hand, with Ricardo flanked behind him.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, I assure you this is not Booker T. This is Alberto Del Rio.

MATT STRIKER:
And a man who actually deserves a World Title rematch.

MICHAEL COLE:
Del Rio better watch what he says here. He doesn't want to make Orton more angry than he already is.​

DEL RIO:​

Listen to me campesino, the only person who deserves a World Championship match is me. (Crowd BOOS.) Besides, you had your chance and lost to Sheamus on RAW. I never lost my match against Sheamus at Summerslam. That incompetente referee cost me that match and I DEMAND a rematch. So, get out of this ring perdedor and allow justice to prevail.

Del Rio and Orton have a staredown until..

***Here To Show The World***

The boos continue to rain down as Dolph Ziggler, mic in hand as well, makes his way down with Vickie Guerrero.

DOLPH ZIGGLER:
I was back there and I was getting sick and tired of listening to the two of you. First, Orton comes out and rambles about nothing, and Del Rio comes out here and let's be honest, these people don't care about a word you two have to say. It doesn't matter who the World Champion is going to be because in the end, you need to be worried about me and cashing in this Money in the Bank briefcase.

RANDY ORTON:
Listen to me very carefully Blondie. You are beginning to piss me off. So If I were you, I'd get out of this ring while my head is still firmly attached to my body.


MATT STRIKER:
Oh no, he's talking serious assault and battery!

MICHAEL COLE:
And Orton means every word---wait a minute!​

Del Rio jumps Orton from behind and Ziggler joins in as both men start stomping away on The Viper.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Del Rio and Ziggler are mauling Orton like a pack of wild dogs.

MATT STRIKER:
Wait a minute, look!


The fans start cheering as Sheamus' music hits and The World Heavyweight Champion runs down and comes to Randy Orton's aid!

Sheamus quickly grabs a hold of Del Rio and starts hammering away and finishes him off by clotheslining him out of the ring. On the other side of the ring, Orton attempts the RKO, but Ziggler avoids it and slides out of the ring. The faces dominate the ring and the heels are on the run.

***Can You Dig It? SUCKA!***

Booker T. comes out to a good pop and he starts laughing.​

MICHAEL COLE:
Here comes Co-Commissioner Booker T! Maybe he can clear all this up.


BOOKER T.:
Ok, you guys have gone completely off the handle. I have not made a decision regarding who I want to make the #1 contender to the World Title. So, y'all are gonna have to wait on that. But as for tonight, since you guys wanna fight so badly, let's make it happen. I hate to sound like Teddy Long here. Love ya Teddy. Tonight, Dolph Ziggler will team with Alberto Del Rio to take on the team of The Viper, Randy Orton and the World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus!​

Booker's music hits and all four men are left arguing and talking trash to each other.​

MICHAEL COLE:
What a Main Event we have here tonight! Mr. Money in the Bank and Del Rio against The Viper and the World Heavyweight Champion!

MATT STRIKER:
You talk about a battle of epic proportions.​

***COMMERCIAL***​

Back from the break and Cole & Striker recap the previous segment.

Sin Cara is a superb athlete, and I'm sure the Cobra and I would be in for a good fight.​

***Aleluya De El Mesias***

Damien Sandow
247 lbs
Palto Alto, California​

Damien Sandow comes out to a chorus of boos. ​

MICHAEL COLE:
What about Damien Sandow? After what you did to him last Monday on RAW, I'm sure he'd love to win this match.

SANTINO:
Somebody needs to shut him up once and for all. The Cobra and I are perfect for the job.​

RANDY ORTON:
Look Sheamus, I appreciate what you did out there, but I didn't need your help. I don't need you to be my savior.

SHEAMUS:
That's fine fella, I was just doing what I know you would do in the same situation. You can act tough ll you want, but we both know we have a level of respect for each other. Now, we can stand here and argue, or we can go out there and kick both some arse! Whaddya say Fella?

RANDY ORTON:
That's fine by me. Let's go out there and kick ass like only we can.​

It's Main Event time on SmackDown! Alberto Del Rio is getting ready to team up with Dolph Ziggler to take on Randy Orton and the World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus.

MATT STRIKER:
What about what Booker T. said earlier? He said he didn't know who the #1 Contender was to the World Title yet. I think it should be Alberto Del Rio.

I think Del Rio needs to earn his shot first rather than whine about it.

World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus

MICHAEL COLE:
Well here comes the World Heavyweight Champion and he's been quiet about this whole situation.

MATT STRIKER:
Well, for now, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, but he's got two guys in the ring gunning for his World Title and a partner than can turn his back on him at any point. That title may as well be a big "X" on his chest.​
