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

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

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

[youtube]9JKjybNriUg[/youtube]

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

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

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

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

[youtube]tyeC6Oyco7I[/youtube]

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

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

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

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

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

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

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

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

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

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

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

[youtube]iYunFM60WXc[/youtube]

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

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

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

KICK OUT!

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

2…
KICK OUT!

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

1…
2…
3!

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

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

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

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

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

Josh Mathews-What the? Is that Skip Sheffield?

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

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

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

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

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

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

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

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

[youtube]9JKjybNriUg[/youtube]

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

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

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

[youtube]b3Ec6Ye87sg[/youtube]

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

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

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

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

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

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

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

1…
2…
3!

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

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

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

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

Theo Mays · Apr 4, 2011

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

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

Vickie Guerrero-EXCUSE ME!!!

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

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

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

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

Josh Mathews-It looks like things arent over between John Morrison, Vickie Guerrero, and Dolph Ziggler.

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

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

Michael Cole-Shut your mouth Lawler! Its people like you that causes the youth of America to

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

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

[youtube]mm7twv5e-qc[/youtube]

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

The Rock-Finally The Rock has come back to Atlanta. And last night The Rock made his triumphant return to Wrestlemania and just as The Rock promised the show was electrifying. Now before the Great One gets carried away, I made a point at Wrestlemania. And I made that point to that giant bowl of fruity pebble crap, John Cena. You see Cena, you want to adjust The Rocks attitude? You think you can just lay your hands on the Great One? You made a great big mistake John Cena and last night I made you pay for it. John Cena last night you had to pay the piper courtesy of The Rock. And Miz you were just icing on the cake. Dont think The Rock likes you Miz. In fact Miz, The Rock cant stand your candy ass, but this war between me and John Cena became personal and I wasnt letting that yabba dabba bitch stay one up on the Great One.

[youtube]tyeC6Oyco7I[/youtube]

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

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

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

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

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

[youtube]tyeC6Oyco7I[/youtube]

Michael Cole-And I quote.

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

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

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

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

Michael Cole-Good. We dont need that bully running around here anymore. He had his fun, now get back to Hollywood you bully!

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

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

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

Justin Roberts-Currently in the ring Brie and NikkiTHE BELLA TWINS!

[youtube]pvlR1UdoDW4[/youtube]

Justin Roberts-And their opponents, Gail Kim and the Divas ChampionEVE!

Jerry Lawler-Cmon Cole, how can you not be excited for Divas action!

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

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

KICK OUT!

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

KICK OUT!

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

Justin Roberts-The winners of the match by pinfallTHE BELLA TWINS!

Eve is shocked as Nikki quickly rolls out of the ring and Brie escapes the grasp of Gail Kim. The Bellas dance in celebration as Eve cant believe her and Kim lost the match.

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

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

Josh Mathews-Twin magic is in the air King.

Theo Mays · Apr 4, 2011

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

John Cena-Honestly Scott you cant count out The Miz. You never know what the kid has up his sleeve. Hell definitely have his hands full tonight with Sin Cara. Ive seen footage and the guy is going to do some great things here in the WWE.

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

John Cena-You know I could be the company man and just thank Rock for what he did and welcome him back with open arms, but I cant do that. Rock and I have been at a war of words for weeks now and last night he cost me the chance at retaining the WWE Championship. It wouldnt surprise me if this was all a ploy by Rocky to leave on good terms. Rock is obviously going back to Hollywood to films his movies and bring it via satellite.

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

Michael Cole-Miz is gonna destroy this Rey Mysterio wannabe. Hopefully Sin Cara wasnt looking to make an impact in his debut because he stands no chance against the Awesome One.

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

Justin Roberts-This match is scheduled for one fall and it is a beat the clock challenge. If Miz doesnt win the match with in 7:33, John Cena will chose their match stipulation at Extreme Rules. If Miz beats the clock he will chose the match stipulation.

[youtube]9JKjybNriUg[/youtube]

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

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

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

Michael Cole-Be quiet Lawler. Maybe you wouldnt be so bitter if I hadnt kicked your butt at Wrestlemania.

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

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

[youtube]Lte2_JGGeUo[/youtube]

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

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

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

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

Referee Mike Chioda is back to call this match up. Chioda rings the bell and we are under way. Miz doesnt seem to worried about the time as he laughs and mocks Sin Caras size. Sin Cara stands there, seemingly unaffected by Mizs bullying. Miz points at his chin, allowing Sin Cara to make the first move. Miz keeps pointing at his chin as Sin Cara just stands there. Miz is now irritated by the lack of emotion shown by Sin Cara. Miz goes for the first blow, but Sin Cara blocks it and nails Miz with a fury of rights, followed by a throat thrust, sending Miz to the mat. Sin Cara takes off like a rocket and springboards off the middle rope and nailing the turning Miz with a crossbody into a pinfall.

1
KICK OUT!

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

KICK OUT!

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

1
2
KICK OUT!

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

KICK OUT!

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

*Ding ding ding*

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

Justin Roberts-Ladies and gentlemen the winner of the beat the clock challengeJOHN CENA!!!

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

Michael Cole-NO!!! No no no NOOOOO!!!! This is a travesty, a hate crime against the Awesome One. This whole thing is a conspiracy theory to get John Cena the upper hand in the title match. This isnt fair!

Jerry Lawler-Looks like you have to eat your words Cole. Your boy Miz couldnt back you up and now John Cena gets to choose the stipulation.

[youtube]b3Ec6Ye87sg[/youtube]

Cena comes up laughing and grinning from ear to ear. Miz is still in awe for the situation. Cena stands on the stage scratching his chin. Cena shrugs his shoulders and gives the Miz his trademark You Cant See Me taunt on the stage.

Josh Mathews-I dont think John Cena could be happier. What stipulation will Cena chose and could the Mizs championship reign be in jeopardy? Join us next week on Monday Night Raw. Good night.

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

GLOBAL ICON · Apr 5, 2011

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

Da Prophet · Apr 5, 2011

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

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

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

GCB · Apr 8, 2011

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

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

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

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

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

Here comes the Rock! Big announcement or a farewell? GM interrupting the Rock and Cole standing up to it - hmmm. Cole still needs a good slapping, you've shown that through the show so far with his snidy comments to Lawler. Will Rock provide it? Err, no.

Rock is on his way out, promises to be back. I guess you're saving Rocky for later ...

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

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

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

#1Peep's RAW Review!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Miz-Turn off the lights and put me under the spotlight I truly deserve. Michael Cole, would you please get up and unplug our general manager. Now last week I was rudely interrupted in what should have been my time. I defeated John Cena at Wrestlemania and I am the WWE Champion and yet I still get disrespected around here. I am the most must see champion in this industry. I am the new face of the WWE. No one deserves this spotlight more than me. I dont care that I have to face John Cena again at Extreme Rules. Honestly I look forward to once again beating your beloved John Cena. I dont care about the beat the clock challenge last week, I dont care what stipulation Cena chooses. All I care about is getting what I deserved. Last week should have been the most celebrated moment you people have ever seen. It should have been a moment that people would tweet their friends about, that newspapers would rage about, and history books would brag about. However the only thing anyone was talking about was John Cena and The Rock. Remind me again which one of them is WWE champion? Thats right, neither of them. I am the WWE champion. I am who everyone should be talking about. I deserve my time and I will get my time. Last week I had a huge celebration planned, but the anonymous Raw general manager just had to go about his business to ruin it. Tonight there wont be a celebration, tonight is all about me getting the time I deserve. And come May 2nd there will be even more reason to celebrate as I will be 24 hours removed from defeating John Cena in the match of his choosing. Because Im The Miz and Im

AWWWWWWWESOOOMEEEE!!!!!!!

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

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

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

Jerry Lawler-Would you shut your pie hole Cole. Who knows what would have happened if The Rock hadnt got involved.

Michael Cole-Youre just jealous Lawler. Jealous of the fact The Miz has accomplished thus far is far superior to anything youve accomplished in your so-called illustrious career.

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

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

Jerry Lawler-Lets not count out Daniel Bryan. The kid can just flat out go.

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

Josh Mathews-I dont get your hatred for Daniel Bryan Cole. Since Bryan has comeback he has been one of the best performers in the WWE. He even scored pinfall victories over your beloved Miz.

Charles Robinson, the scheduled referee, raises the United States Championship above his head and signals for the bell.

Sheamus is up and Bryan launches off the top rope, but Sheamus sees it coming and quickly moves out of the way. Bryan crashes to the mat and the crowd seems to be sucked dry as they see the end coming. Bryan is slow to get up, but Sheamus takes him out immediately with a Brogue Kick that nearly sends Bryans head into the 5th row. Sheamus is quick on the cover.

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match by pinfall and still the United States ChampionSHEAMUS!

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

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

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

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

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

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Theo Mays · May 16, 2011

[youtube]b3Ec6Ye87sg[/youtube]

Josh Mathews-Here he is guys, John Cena! We all know Cena won the opportunity to pick the match stipulation for his WWE championship match between Miz at Extreme Rules. We know Cena has announced he will make the announcement tonight and I cant wait to hear it.

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

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

John Cena-Ahh a flaming tables match. That sounds extreme. Steel cage match, dont have to worry about Alex Riley. Barbed wire rope match, do I look like Terry Funk and Mick Foley? Stop right there. Last Man Standing match, YES! Thats it right there. Last Man Standing. No pinfalls, no submissions, no countouts, and no disqualifications. Come Extreme Rules Miz, I will be the Last Man Standing and the champ will once again be here!

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

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

Michael Cole-John Cena has clearly lost his mind. He has obviously been hit on the head entirely too much throughout his career. In fact he shouldnt be allowed to wrestle a match until his head is fully checked. There is no way that Cenas brain is mentally stable to compete.

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

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

Sheamus-Watch where youre walkin fella.

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

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

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

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

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

Sheamus-Do you see this? This title entitles greatness and it is something youll never be fella. Youre just a nobody around here and Ill be sure to keep that way.

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

Jerry Lawler-Typical bully tactic, pick on the new guy. Obviously Sheamus didnt know what Sin Cara was capable of.

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

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

Michael Cole-Real mature King. Ive had enough of this.

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

Michael Cole-May I have your attention please? I am tired of the verbal abuse I continue to receive from Jerry Lawler. Look Lawler we get it, you are jealous that I defeated you at Wrestlemania. In fact I think it is due time that I begin to carry the Mr. Wrestlemania moniker. Despite the fact that I defeated Jerry Lawler at Wrestlemania fair and square he still doesnt treat me with the respect that I deserve. You can stop trying to impress these people King, they dont care about you. You are a washed up has been in the ring and at the announce table. Maybe you should do us all a favor Lawler and retire. Maybe it is time for you to actual put someone over King. I am the voice of the WWE damn it and you arent going to steal my spotlight Lawler.

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

[youtube]tyeC6Oyco7I[/youtube]

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

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

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

Michael Cole-I win again Lawler. Just admit it Jerry, you cant beat me. Hahahaha. Yes! Yes! Yes! Bow down to me King, bow down to me. I am your superior Jerry. Me, Michael Cole.

Lawler pauses before he gets out of the ring. Lawler turns around and charges Cole. Cole tries to get out of the ring, but Lawler grabs him by the collar. Lawler stares a hole right through Cole before decking him with a huge right hand. Cole goes flying into the corner as Lawler proceeds to stomp a mudhole in him. Officials charge the ring, but Lawler breaks their hold and continues his beat down on Cole. The officials continue to try to breaking it up, but Lawler now has chased the officials out of the ring. Lawler lifts Cole up and drops him with a bodyslam. Lawler heads to the ropes and drops his trademark fist atop Coles head. Lawler has snapped as the GM keeps chiming in but Josh Mathews hasnt had a chance to read them. Lawler lifts Cole and signals for a piledriver. The crowd goes insane as Lawler puts Coles head between his legs. Lawler lifts Cole up and drops him on his head. Officials slide back into the ring as Lawler backs off and leaves. Officials signal for medical help for Cole as Lawler is escorted out of the ring. Lawler waves to the crowd and blows kisses and bows as he walks his way up the ramp. Jerry chants rain throughout the arena. Coles neck is now protected and he is placed upon a stretcher as they wheel him out. The fans boo as Cole is wheeled out of the arena.

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Theo Mays · May 16, 2011

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

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

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

Matt Striker-Thank you Josh and it is great to be working with you again, though it isnt on the exact terms as I would have liked, but lets get the focus back to the ring shall we?

[youtube]yNoP4RH90ng[/youtube]

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

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

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

[youtube]wbKX_sdOb_4[/youtube]

Justin Roberts-And his opponent from Chi..

CM Punk-Hold on Justin Roberts. I know that I am scheduled to compete against little Evan Bourne tonight, but that isnt going to happen. Oh dont you fret Evan, youll still have a match tonight. I see no reason for me to go down to the ring and do what Ive done countless times. I have a monster on my hands, who is looking to prove himself to each and everyone of you induced individuals. I am of course talking about my very own One Man Nexus, Skip Sheffield.

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

Josh Mathews-A little unfair to Evan Bourne dont you think Matt? I mean he came here tonight prepared for CM Punk and instead he gets the complete opposite in Skip Sheffield. We all saw what Sheffield did to Randy Orton last week and we know he is pure evil.

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

Scheduled referee, Chad Patton rings the bell and we begin. Bourne shuffles around the ring as Sheffield keeps a close eye on him. Punk encourages Sheffield on the outside. Sheffield gets Bourne cornered, but Evan doesnt back down. Bourne greets Sheffield with a series of kicks to the thigh of Sheffield. The big man is put off by Bournes offense and he charges. However Bourne is too quick for Sheffield, who crashes into the corner. Evan continues with the kicks and connects with one to the temple which takes Sheffield off his feet. Sheffield rolls to the outside and talks things over with Punk. Chad Patton holds back Bourne before trying to get Skip back into the ring. Bourne avoids the official and goes to launch himself out. Bourne gets over the ropes, but Sheffield and Punk quickly move out of the way. Bourne, however counters and lands on the apron. Bourne sees an opportunity open and he runs off the apron and goes for a Hurricarana to Sheffield, but Skip catches him on the follow through. Sheffield uses his sheer power and throws Evan Bourne into the steel stairs, as if he weighed as much as a feather. Sheffield pleads his innocence as he rolls into the ring. Patton has a talk with Sheffield, as Punk takes advantage of the distraction. Punk gets a few shots in before he rolls Bourne into the ring. Sheffield now awaits his prey in the corner. Skip is ready to pounce and Evan is slow to his feet. Bourne turns around and Sheffield charges and nails Bourne with a huge clothesline that flips Bourne around and nearly turns him inside out. Sheffield goes for the rough cover on Bournes motionless body.

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match by pinfallSKIP SHEFFIELD!

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

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

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

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

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

Zack Ryder-For those of you out there who dont know me I am Zack Ryder. Wait, are you serious bro?!? There are people who dont me? I am Long Island Iced Z.

Scott Stanford-Sorry broski. Its been awhile since weve seen you on Monday Nights.

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

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

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

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

[youtube]KlpsRYQHJOA[/youtube]

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

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

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

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

KICK OUT!

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

KICK OUT!

Dibiase stays on the offensive and drives a trio of knee drops into the neck of Morrison, who begins to favor his neck. Dibiase is keen to this and he drives another trio, this time of elbows into the injured neck of John Morrison. Vickie and Dolph continue to watch on and look impressed in the process. Dibiase goes for a submission hold as he wrenches Morrisons neck in a headlock. Morrison grimaces in pain, but wont give up when Cone asks. The crowd starts getting behind Morrison and Dibiase shakes his head in disapproval. Morrison begins to stomp his foot and squeeze his hand to make sure he still has feeling in his arms. Morrison is now up on one knee to the disappointment of Dibiase, Vickie, and Ziggler. Morrison drives an elbow into the sternum of Dibiase, but Ted keeps the hold locked on. Morrison drives another and finally gets the hold broken after a third elbow. Morrison is now up and runs off the ropes. Dibiase goes for a clothesline, but Morrison ducks it and nails a turning Dibiase with a one footed dropkick. Dibiase hops right up and Morrison goes for kick, but Dibiase grabs it. Morrison tries slap Dibiase, but Dibiase isnt in reaching distance. Dibiase spins Morrison around, but that fails as Morrison clocks with a spinning kick that sends Dibiase to the outside. Morrison holds his neck as Dibiase pulls himself up with the apron on the outside. Morrison heads to the ropes and pulls himself over and nails a Corkscrew Plancha, taking both him and Dibiase out. The crowd pops at the move, as Ziggler and Vickie begin to worry. Referee John Cone begins his ten count.

Ziggler and Vickie cant believe it. Morrison and Dibiase begin to alternate punches as the crowd boos and yeahs along with each punch. Dibiase gains the edge with a boot to Morrisons midsection. Morrison falls to one knee and Dibiase charges with an attempt to kick Morrison in the injured neck, but Morrison dodges out of the way and bounces off the middle rope and nails Dibiase with a Chuck Kick. Morrison drags Dibiase over to the corner and sets him up for Starship Pain. Morrison strikes Ziggler and Guerrero a look before jumps up and nails Starship Pain. Morrison, selling the neck injury, crawls over to Dibiase and makes the cover.

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match by pinfallJOHN MORRISON!

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

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

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

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

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

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

[youtube]RjdJ_JHZOgQ[/youtube]

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

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

[youtube]b3Ec6Ye87sg[/youtube]

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

Josh Mathews-John Cena is all business when it comes to the WWE and his passion to perform and excite the fans each and every night. And John Cena tonight manned up and admitted he overlooked The Miz. That is what you got to respect about Cena, he doesnt make excuse and now with Rock out of the picture we are going to see if Cena is once again championship material.

Cena and Miz sit at opposite sides of the table, as Alex Riley lurks behind Miz. Cena and Mizs eyes never leave each other. Miz gives Cena a cocky smirk as he toys around with his custom championship title. Cena is still all serious as he grabs the contract and immediately signs it. Cena slams the contract on the table and waits for Miz to make it official. Miz looks up and him and Riley begin to talk. Cena doesnt like their sneakiness and he is out of his chair and whips his shirt into the crowd. Miz signals for Riley to leave the ring. Miz stands up out of his chair and sets his championship on the table. Miz continues to watch as Cena prances around the ring. Miz shakes his head as he grabs the contract and reads it over. Miz inhales and signs the contract and drops it on the table. Cena is pumped as the crowd pops as the match is official. Cena heads over to the table as him and Miz have a staredown. Miz lifts up his championship as him and Cena are all eyes. Miz goes to smack Cena with the championship, but Cena blocks it and Miz begs for forgiveness. Cena has Miz cornered, but out of nowhere Riley smacks Cena in the back of the head with a briefcase. Riley and Miz begin to beat down on Cena. Riley holds up Cena as Miz rips his tie and jacket off. Miz yells at Cena as he shows him the championship title. Miz cracks Cena across the head with the title and Cena falls motionless to the mat. Miz drops his championship to the mat and him and Riley pull the table to the middle of the ring. Riley lifts Cenas dead weight off the mat and drapes him across the table. Miz grabs Cena and sets him up for the Skull Crushing Finale and drops Cena through the table. Miz gets up and you can see he means business. The crowd has mixed reaction of shock and heat for Miz. Miz lifts his title up off the mat and hovers over Cena, who is out cold. Miz raises the title high to a chorus of boos (and some cheers) as Alex Riley in the background begins a ten count as Raw goes off the air.

Avitus25: RAW Review

Nice way to open the show with The Miz after his loss in the beat the clock last week… very good idea to get him to get Cole to unplug the GM too… seems really realistic… Really good promo… sounded exactly like The Miz… expecting some kind of interruption at some point? No? Mhmmmm ok… maybe a bit of a lacklustre way to start the show without anything major coming from it? Good promo though…

Loving your portrayal of Cole by the way… will be interesting to see what the pay off is… Bryan v Sheamus for the title… I’d be surprised to see Sheamus lose it this early in so going for a Sheamus win here… Like the focus on the shoulder… all of the spots including it seemed realistic… and it preventing Bryan from getting the LeBell lock in was a nice idea too… Interested to see whether Bryan gets a bit of a push now and who Sheamus’ next opponent will be?

John Cena out now… hoping to see a good stipulation… I reckon something like a Tables match or maybe even a TLC match might work out nicely? Got to say… I read the first line “Ahh a flaming tables match” and thought that’s what Cena had picked! Last Man Standing sounds like it will give plenty of opportunities… Looking forward to this…

Sheamus v Sin Cara backstage was a really nice segment… assuming this has answered my question about Sheamus’ opponent… Liked that Sin Cara had quite a unique style of attacking Sheamus backstage, rather than just the usual punches and tackles… Really like the way you’ve used Sin Cara… hope this potential feud is given some good time…

Cole promo… assuming Lawler is going to interrupt at some point… nice promo by Cole, ah there we go… GM chiming in again… glad to see Lawler ignore the GM and sacrifice his job… always thought it made him a little week when he followed these instructions in the WWE so glad to see you put him over strong like this… really good segment… interested to see where this goes… and who commentates RAW! Can’t see either of them out for long…

Evan Bourne v Punk… no wait… Sheffield… looking for Sheffield to go over strong here… Really like Sheffield so glad to see you’re using him in such a high profile way… Really dominant win… Love the symbolism of Sheffield placing Bourne on Punk’s shoulders… Nice promo from Ryder… I know I’m struggling to think how to use him on my BT so this is a good way to keep him in the limelight til something else comes for him…

DiBiase v Morrison… difficult here I like both characters so wouldn’t really mind who run… kinda hope it’s Morrison though… would love to see him get a push… Vickie and Dolph out… guessing Morrison might lose then… Surprised not to see any interaction between Morrison and Ziggler after the match…

Contract signing… I’d put money on some kind of physical interaction here… maybe Riley ending up going through the table?? Ahhhh no Cena’s going through it… nice way to end the show…

Overall really enjoyed the show… liked the build of the stories and interested to see where it goes from here… especially with Miz and Cena… one thing I would say though, is that 3 matches isn’t really very many? Maybe another match or two would’ve been better… maybe just something to think about… Looking forward to reading more…

Good work, keep it up =]

Hope to maybe get a review back if you get chance =]

Da Prophet Review

Reviewing everything today so why not hit you up with one for the latest RAW which I was reading as it was posted.

Nice way to open the show with The Miz talking show trash. Good use of his character. The champion is feeling cocky as ever which I love by the way. I do have a question however, will Extreme Rules be a joint production between the two shows or what? I wonder how that will be done? Well back onto the show and Miz is finished with his promo. Surprised nothing happened with that. I was expecting Cena or something to happen.

US title match now, this should get the crowd going for tonight. I can't see Sheamus losing here and... yeah I was right. Sheamus looks strong and I hope you can book him better than the WWE do. Very good match of course from you Theo, can't wait to see what is going to happen with these two next.

Well Cena is here and delivers a solid promo as always. Keeping his real life attitude is good instead of going with the heel type guy people use in a BT. Nice way to hype the LMS match at ER since I had no idea that was happening. Gotta check out the past show to remind me what is happening.

Now we move to Sheamus and he gets beat up. Kind of sad that we had physical contact between the two already. Maybe you could of had Sheamus go for the kick and Cara dodge with Sheamus than falling. Feeling like Cara made him look like a joke, he decides to go after Cara.

Cole is on the mic and is still going with this angle. I hope you can make it different than what is going on in real life. Oh shit, Lawler attacks him! Is he fired or what. Now I'm interested in what you are going to do here. Nice job Theo and I hope to find out more in the coming weeks. Maybe a "You're Fired" match at Extreme Rules.

Solid match between Bourne and Skippy and I have no doubt that you can write a great match. I'm wondering where you are going with this. Punk needs to be doing something more than what he is doing with the WWE at the moment.

YES!!!! Mark out moment, because ZACK RYDER gets air time. Thank you Jesus and Theo. You need to bring his show to this thread. Woo Woo Woo, You Know It! Ryder for WWE Champion, take care and spike your hair.

Another good match for tonight between two guys who don't do much on television. Not much to say but I think big things for Ted in the future. Keep the match writing up as these are just great.

Contract singing now and I was expecting a little more. Not saying it was bad but just could of had a little more spice. Don't know what but something to give it a better feeling. Looking forward to Extreme Rules and RAW just keeps getting better.

Good job with the show Theo, maybe another match or two. Even if you have a squash with a jobber from the local area. But just something to bring in another guy. The show was well written from all points and I can't wait for the next installment.

#1Peep's RAW Review

Time to review episode number two, oh I'm a poet and I didn't even know it. Expected something to happen to maybe something to be announced during the opening promo with the Miz. However with that said, really good promo from the Miz; shifts the attention back to him even though he 'lost' last week. Really captured the loud, in your face, look at me style of promo that the Miz does every week on RAW. Love Cole's commentary after the promo and leading into the next match. Nice fast paced match to open the show, before Sheamus begins to work on the arm. Quite a quick match; but it did it's job and Sheamus looked like an absolute beast. Seems a bit quick to have a Cena promo that quickly after Miz's, maybe could of combined the two to open the show. Awesome promo from Cena and you nailed his personality and got out everything that needed to be said, great job. Cool segment between the Ginger Giant and Sin Cara; Cara did take out Sheamus but he needed the dropkick from behind in order to do it, brain over brawn.

Finally, Cole has been taken out by Lawler and it's about time! Wonder where you will go with Lawler and Cole here though. Great lines from Punk and I can't wait to see what an unleashed Skip can do. Skip takes care of Evan easily after a little speed bump and Punk puts the exclamation point on the beating with a GTS. Maybe Orton will need a tag team partner for next week to tackle Punk and Skip head on? WWWYKI, Zack is about to get a lot more attention. Such an intense, entertaining match between Teddy and JoMo, a Morrison/Ziggler feud will be incredible in the ring but lacklustre on the microphone, the feud will need something to spice it up. Here comes the contract signing; these things never turn out to well. Interesting, a contract signing without a single word uttered. Miz shows that he can take out Cena and is capable of putting him down for a ten count. Great way to end the show, just as you opened it; with Miz on top. Once again, another great show, could have used another match or two to flesh it out but I know how much of a bitch they can be to write. Can't wait to finish my show and we will be even closer to our first PPV.

TSG · Jun 4, 2011

Here is a review for the latest RAW.

Miz opens the show. Solid promo. It takes talent to be a heel and be right. Most heels spit out B.S. only they in their convoluted heads could believe. Yet Miz speaks what could easily be considered truth, but still makes you hate him. That's what I love about Miz, and this promo.

Sheamus vs. Bryan. These two can have good chemistry and pull out some awesome matches so interesting to see this match. An even back and forth contest at first, both men pulling out their usual moves. To the outside now, and suicide dive by Bryan ijures the shoulder. And good psychology here, Sheamus attacks the injured shoulder, which will affect his crossface also. Sheamus really destroys Bryan here and Bryan makes a comeback here! And the crossbody misses, Brouge Kick and that will end it. Good *** - *** 1/4 * match, great for RAW. I really enjoyed it.

And here comes John Cena. he is letting the fan pick the match, very way to make the fans feel interactive. LMS is chose, that makes sense, logical next step to take.

Sheamus and Sin Cara interaction backstage. Sheamus bullys Cara, and Cara attacks back. Simple yet effective, and I like it, excited to see where it goes.

Cole is tired, is he leaving? Nope, promo time. And Lawler is not standing for it. But isn't the no touch stip still standing - yes, it is says the GM. And lawler attacks anyway. He figures it is worth it. Interested in where this goes, good segment really showing how Cole deserved what he got and that lawler just doesn't care anymore.

Matt Striker to commentary, cool, I have always liked him. And Punk in action, yes! Promo first? Okay, Sheffield vs. Bourne, I like Skip to. And a squash, and Skip looks strong, Punk attack and this duo is looking good.

And we get a Ryder interview. Ryder continues to nail this character to perfection in this promo and proving why he has potential as one of the young and rising WWE stars. Woo Woo Woo, You Know It, Bro!

Ted DiBiase in action and...against John Morrison. Solid TV match here, and it seems Morrison/Ziggler is going to develop further, which I am excited to see. Morrison wins, which is always a good thing.

Cena and Miz contract signing. This should lead to something, my wrestling fan inside of me says. Intense showdown as these two sign the contract and Miz reading over it first is a nice, heelish touch on his part. The staredown to end the show, still very intense. No! The attack, but it's blocked and - nope, here comes A-Ri, and Cena goes through the table. And Miz stands tall while Riley counts to 10 (love stuff like that!) to end the show.

Great show, can't wait for more. Loving Riley and Miz, Punk and Sheffield, and Ryder in particular, they're doing great things.

Raw April 18th, 2011 (O2 Arena in London, England)

Josh Mathews-Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Monday Night Raw and we are coming to you tonight from across the pond in beautiful London, England at the O2 Arena. Tonight John Cena responds to The Mizs vicious attack last week during the contract signing for their Last Man Standing Match at Extreme Rules.

Michael Cole-More importantly Josh The King wont be here tonight or next week or the week after that cause he is fired! Do you see my dedication Josh, doctors told me to stay at home, but as the voice of the WWE it is my job to be here each and every week and call the show. Tonight I just happen to be doing so with an injured neck. In the end it is worth it though as it got rid of that jealous and washed up Jerry Lawler.

Josh Mathews-And taking Jerry Lawlers place here at the announce table is our good friend, Matt Striker. Welcome aboard Matt.

Matt Striker-Thank you for the kind and warm hearted welcome to the broadcast team and I cant wait for the action that awaits us tonight.

[youtube]b3Ec6Ye87sg[/youtube]

Josh Mathews-It looks like John Cena is going to waste no time in addressing The Mizs attack as here comes leader of Cenation.

John Cena-London, England! It is great to be back, but tonight you get serious John Cena. Miz wanted to get serious last week, well it is about to get real serious right now. Miz you can continue to attack me, take me down, knock me out, do whatever you please. But rests assure come two weeks from now I will take you out and I will recapture the WWE championship. You see Miz the saying I wear proudly on my shirts, I live by those each and every day. Nothing will change that Miz. And at Extreme Rules,

[youtube]RjdJ_JHZOgQ[/youtube]

Michael Cole-Yes! Yes! YES! About time someone shuts up this typical John Cena rant. Here comes the Awesome One himself.

The Miz-Really? Really? Really? Are you really going to come out here John and claim stake to a battle that you already lost? Cena the world saw that I put you down for a ten count last week and for those that didnt I can promise them a replay tonight as Ill gladly walk down there and do it again.

John Cena-So youre telling me that you are going to come down to this ring and put me down for a ten count?

The Miz-Thats exactly what Im saying Cena.

John Cena-Then lets do this!

The British crowd goes absolutely bonkers as Cena whips his shirt off in his trademark fashion and Miz starts to work his way down to the ring as he takes off his suit jacket and rolls up his sleeves. Miz starts to walk his way up the steel stairs and Cena gives him room and motions him into the ring. Miz is now on the apron and the crowd is anticipating the brawl that is on the verge on going down. Miz puts his one leg through the ropes and slowly gets into the ring.

[youtube]tyeC6Oyco7I[/youtube]

The crowd becomes unglued and the heat the anonymous Raw general manager is getting is approaching Vickie Guerrero levels as the crowd is just absolutely hot tonight in the O2 Arena.

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

Whoa, easy there fellows. There will be no brawl right now. However you two will be in action tonight. In fact I have booked a huge main event for the great fans here in London, England. Tonight we will see an eight man tag team match featuring Team Miz and Team Cena. Gentlemen your goal tonight is to assemble a team of yourself and three partners of your choosing to compete in the main event. So Id recommend you stop this school yard nonsense and go make yourselves some new friends.

Cena and Miz still are locked in a staredown as they have no problem with the anonymous GMs decision. The crowd is in an uproar now over the announcement of tonights main event as the screen fades to black.

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Josh Mathews-Welcome back to Monday Night Raw and what an announcement the anonymous Raw GM made before the break.

Matt Striker-Yes it was an amazing announcement Josh. Tonight these great fans get to witness an eight man megamatch in which it could provide some very intriguing matchups. Let the suck up games begin.

Michael Cole-All I know is that John Cena should consider himself the luckiest man on the planet. If it wasnt for the anonymous Raw general managers announcement Cena would have once again been laid out by The Miz.

Justin Roberts-This match is scheduled for one fall and it is a fatal four way for the Divas Championship!

[youtube]1B6NpXbyz_Q[/youtube]

Justin Roberts-Introducing first, Brie and Nikki.THE BELLA TWINS!

Michael Cole-Divas action, fantastic. At least we dont have to listen to Lawler be a creep anymore on commentary.

Matt Striker-While the Bellas make their way to the ring it looks like our cameras have some footage of The Miz and Alex Riley trying to recruit backstage.

Michael Cole-Could you imagine if Miz got the Worlds Strongest Man onboard for his team. Theyd be even more unstoppable.

[youtube]8QbsSYQyx4o[/youtube]

Justin Roberts-Introducing nextNATALYA!

Michael Cole-Look what the snow storm blew in, eh. I thought this was suppose to be a Divas match?

Matt Striker-Cmon now Michael. Natalya represents everything a WWE diva is. That being a strong, sexy, independent woman. What more can you ask for?

[youtube]pvlR1UdoDW4[/youtube]

Justin Roberts-Finally, the Divas ChampionEVE!

Michael Cole-And just when I thought we couldnt get worse than Natalya and now Eve comes out. Why are we here again?

Matt Striker-The divas division is like no other Michael. The divas of the WWE work just as hard as any male superstar to get to the top. I for one look forward to this one.

Michael Cole-That makes it you and the majority of the San Francisco area.

Jack Doan, the scheduled referee rings the bell and we are underway. Eve and Natalya stare each other down before turning their focus on the Bella Twins. Eve and Nattie charge at the Bellas, who quickly dodge out of the ring. The Bellas hold their hands up as they talk to each other on the outside. Natalya and Eve look around and decide to lock up. Natalya uses her strength advantage to lock the Divas champ in a headlock. Eve tries to push out, but Natalya has it strongly locked in. Nattie flips Eve over and Jack Doan asks if Eve surrenders, but Eve refuses to give. Eve manages to roll Natalya onto her back for a pinfall.

1
Roll out.

Natalya rolls it back into the submission and the Bellas reenter the ring and start attacking Natalya. Nattie breaks the hold as she tries to fend off the Bella Twins. Brie and Nikki split up with Nikki beating down Natalya while Brie focuses on Eve. The Bellas are looking impressive as Brie throws Eve out of the ring and calls her a loser in the process. Meanwhile Nikki kicks Nattie out of the ring. Both Bellas are walking backwards and signaling a job well done. Brie and Nikki back into each other in the middle of the ring and instantly turn around into a fighting stance. The crowd gets a spark as the Bellas roam around the ring and the Brits want the Bellas to throw down. The Bellas start trashing talking each other and look like they are going to lock up before breaking out into a game of rock, paper, and scissors. The crowd is confused as Nikki loses and lays down on her back and Brie goes for the cover. Jack Doan seems lost but jumps into the count.

BROKEN UP BY EVE!

Eve starts slamming the back of Bries head on the mat in frustration. Doan breaks up the catfight and Eve cools down and from behind Nikki rolls up Eve. Doan is slow to get to the count.

3!

Natalya tried to break up the pin, but came up just short as Nikki dodges out of the ring in disbelief.

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match and NEW Divas championNIKKI BELLA!

Matt Striker-And the Bellas steal a victory tonight, but you gotta applaud their strategy. Congratulations Nikki Bella!

Michael Cole-Anything to get that title off of Eve. At least the Bella Twins have some sort of spunk.

Brie and Nikki celebrate up the ramp as Eve looks on in shock and Natalya from the outside. The Bellas signal that Nattie and Eve are losers as they turn to head backstage.

Zack Ryder-Scott, bro I need some help.

Scott Stanford-Zack Ryder! Everyones favorite broski.

Zack Ryder-Aint that the truth. Thats not the point though Scott. The Zack Pack wants me on Raw bro and I need a way to showcase my talent, but I dont know what to do.

Scott Stanford-Take a page out of the champs book. John Cena showcased his talent through rap music.

Zack Ryder-Bro if John Cena can throw down a beat I can be the next Eminem. Check it. When my music hits, oh radio I look at my opponent and think are you serious bro? My names Zack Ryder, Long Island Iced Z mess with me and Ill give ya the RoughRyder 1-2-3. Everyone wants TV time, but the line starts behind me so you better sit. Raws about to get Zacked, Woo Woo WooYou Know It! (Fist Pumping)

Scott Stanford-Wiki wiki, word to your mother! Peace.

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Nikki Bella-Oh my God Brie, can you believe I am Divas champion. It is so incredible.

Brie Bella-I know right Nikki, I am so proud of. Besos.

The Bellas embrace in a hug and gaze at the Divas championship before being startled from a maniacal laugh in the background. The Bellas look at each other rather frighteningly before running off.

Josh Mathews-Do either of you have any clue as to what that was?

Matt Striker-Sounds like the lovely Bella Twins have them a stalker of some sorts.

Josh Mathews-Moving on, later tonight we will be speaking with Randy Orton from his home in St. Louis, Missouri. Orton is still on the sideline from the vicious attack from CM Punk and Skip Sheffield two weeks ago. Doctors have advised Orton to not make the trip over here to London tonight.

Michael Cole-Maybe Randy Orton should man up Josh. Doctors advised me to stay at home, but I am the voice of the WWE and it is my duty to entertain these people. Orton just has some bumps and bruises, I have an injured neck for crying out loud. Sounds to me like Randy Orton is threatened by CM Punk and Skip Sheffield.

[youtube]Ot5KP3ACP48[/youtube]

Justin Roberts-This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Aberdeen, WashingtonDANIEL BRYAN!

Michael Cole-Oh God not this dweeb again.

Matt Striker-Daniel Bryan is bringing back something that has been unnoticeable in wrestling for a handful of years and that is the art of submission wrestling. Such greats as Bret Hart, Bob Backlund, Chris Jericho, and slews of other legends were great submission grapplers. Daniel Bryan is no different.

Michael Cole-Except for the fact he is a total nerd who doesnt eat meat or watch television. What kind of lifestyle is that? Dont answer, its a boring one!

[youtube]irw9Lp8P3Kk[/youtube]

Justin Roberts-And his opponent, from Blackpool, EnglandWILLIAM REGAL!

Josh Mathews-Listen to this reaction for William Regal. The fans here in William Regals home are going ballistic.

Matt Striker-Oh my heavens. This match is going to be old school boys. Buckle up those seatbelts and lets jump back in time when William Regal trained Daniel Bryan. The teacher verse the pupil in what should be an instant classic.

Referee Rod Zapata rings the bell and the match is officially underway. Both men circle the ring, but suddenly stop to take in the noise of the crowd. The O2 Arena has burst into Lets Go Regal chants. Regal is clearly moved by this and Daniel Bryan smirks as the crowd continues to chant away. Regal and Bryan finally lock up with Bryan gaining the edge and spinning around Regal, locking him at the waist. Regal throws wild elbow shots, but Bryan dodges them. Bryan falls to his knees and pulls Regal down by his legs and quickly rolls over to attempt the Labell Lock. Regal is no spring chicken though, as he blocks Bryans effort to end the match early and quickly grabs hold of the bottom rope. Zapata backs Daniel Bryan away as Regal pulls himself to his feet. The two men circle the ring again before locking up. Again Bryan gains the advantage and locks Regal in a headlock. Regal pushes Bryan off immediately and Bryan bounces off the ropes. Regal goes for a clothesline, but DB ducks and nails a turning Regal with a flying forearm. The crowd is still in a frenzy as they slowly start to get behind Daniel Bryan as well as William Regal. Bryan goes for the quick cover.

2.
KICK OUT!

Bryan stays on the offensive and rolls Regal over and tries another Lebell Lock. Again it is blocked by Regal and Bryan backs off. Regal is back to his feet and the two lock up for a third time. However Regal sneaks in a shot to the midsection with his knee and nails an elbow shot to the back of the neck, dropping DB to the mat. Regal, the veteran that he is, begins to focus his attack on the neck of Bryan with a series of knee drops. Bryan rolls around the mat in serious pain before Regal rolls him over for a cover.

KICK OUT!

Regal stalks Bryan and DB gets himself in an on all floors position and Regal drops yet another knee to the back of Bryans neck. Regal doesnt settle here though. He lifts Bryan up and drops him with a methodical neckbreaker and immediately locks in a headlock. Bryan wont submit as Regal has his knee driving into the spine of Bryan and he wrenches at his neck nearly tearing Bryans head off. Bryan starts bouncing his foot up and down on the ring canvas and moving his hands to make sure he still has feeling. The crowd is somewhat behind him, but Regal slows down the attack with a quick jerk of the neck and releases the hold to drop another knee on the injured neck. Regal rolls Bryan over and attempts another pinfall.

KICK OUT!

Regal lifts Bryan up and attempts a Dragon Sleeper, but Bryan reverses and grabs ahold of Regals arm and tries to lock in a submission hold. Regal struggles, but manages to get to the ropes before Bryan can lock anything in. Bryan releases Regal and attempts to go after him, but Zapata holds him back as Regal still has the ropes in hand. Bryan attempts another and the ref gets between the two. Regal takes advantage and nails Bryan with a thumb to the eye. This staggers DB and Regal takes advantage and drops Bryan with a huge Knee Trembler. The crowd is on the edge of their seat as their hometown hero has hit one of his trademark moves. Regal rolls a motionless Bryan over for a pinfall.

3!

Regal and the fans think he has won, but referee Rod Zapata waives it off as Bryan had his foot on the rope before his hand hit the 3 count. Regal and Zapata bicker as Bryan tries to pull himself up. Regal finally gives in and the match continues. Bryan is up and Regal bolts at him and shoves him into the corner. Regal begins to drive his shoulder into the midsection of Bryan countless times before pulling Bryan out and dropping him with another neckbreaker. Regal rolls on top of Bryan and shoots the half.

KICK OUT!

Regal cant believe it and the crowd is still heavily into this match. Regal lifts Bryan up and whips him across the ropes. Regal goes for a knee to the sternum, but Bryan dodges it and rolls Regal up for a quick cover.

KICK OUT!

Regal is taken a bit off guard, but is first to his feet. He charges at Bryan, but DB moves out of the way and Regal crashes into the turnbuckle. Bryan takes advantage and nails Regal in the back with a running dropkick. Regal falls to his knees as Bryan now moves his offense to the top rope. Bryan props himself on the top rope and awaits a staggering William Regal. Bryan leaps from above and nails Regal right in the chest with his trademark missile dropkick. Bryan crawls over for the cover.

1
2
KICK OUT!

Bryan rolls off in disbelief as the crowd jumps out of their seats, applauding both men. Bryan pulls himself up and Regal is on his knees as Bryan starts to kick away at Regal. The kicks thud louder and louder with each contact. Bryan goes for a kick to the temple, but Regal ducks and shoves Bryan into the ropes. Bryan shakes it off, but when he turns around and Regal hooks his leg and nails Bryan with a devastating belly to belly suplex, better known as the Regal-plex. Regal now has DB in prime position for the Regal Stretch. Regal locks Bryans legs and tries to lock it in, but DB manages to block it and fight it off into a LeBell Lock. Bryan finally gets it locked in and Regal tries to crawl to the ropes, but it seems he has nowhere to go. Regal is ready to tap, but he continues to budge himself to the ropes. The crowd is chanting Regal, Regal, Regal to motivate him to get to the ropes. Regal gets himself close to arms length and he stretches, but finally gives into the pressure and taps out to the LeBell Lock.

Justin Roberts-The winner of the match, by submissionDANIEL BRYAN!

Josh Mathews-What an amazing performance by two of the best in ring performers going today.

Matt Striker-Yes Josh, truly amazing. Clearly the fans were pulling for William Regal, but they are even giving these two superstars the round of applause they deserve.

Bryan holds his neck as Rod Zapata raises his hand in victory. The crowd is applauding and standing on their feet. William Regal is sitting on the mat and Daniel Bryan offers him a hand. Regal refuses the help as he pulls himself to his feet. Bryan looks on puzzled and puts his hand out again for William Regal. The crowd is now chanting Thank You Regal. Regal has a stern look on his face as he looks around at his hometown fans in the O2 Arena. Regal finally looks back at Bryan and shakes his pupils hand before rolling out of the ring.

Michael Cole-Unbelievable! William Regal should be ashamed of himself. First he loses to this dweeb and now he goes and shakes his hand. What kind of tough guy is William Regal suppose to be?

Matt Striker-Clearly you are taking this all wrong Michael. Daniel Bryan is one of William Regals greatest students. This was a passing of the torch tonight. William Regal knows his career is dwindling and what better way to go out than with an epic match with your prized pupil. I applaud Regal for his sportsmanship here tonight.

Scott Stanford-Joining me at this time, the United States Champion Sheamus. Sheamus tonight you promised to provide us with a statement regarding Sin Caras.

Sheamus-Sin Cara thinks he can just pick a fight with me? I am a former WWE champion and I did that in less than a year. Now I am the United States champion Scott Stanford. If Sin Cara thinks he can just bully me around hell have another thing coming fella.

Scott Stanford-Sheamus if I may, you were the one who started the confrontation.

Sheamus-I started the confrontation? Are you serious fella? Sin Cara clearly disrespected me, a champion by not answering to my presence.

A clapping can be heard in the background as Sheamus and Stanford both rear their heads to see what the commotion is all about.

The Miz-Bravo, bravo. Sheamus you make a great point. Sin Cara thinks he can just step onto our show and run it. He doesnt know the error of his ways. We are champions Sheamus, we run this show. Im not one to ask favors, but how about you take this pent up anger and frustration and put it to use tonight in our main event. Join me and Alex Riley on team Miz and be awesome.

Sheamus-You want me to be on your team? Only on one condition and that being when you defeat John Cena at Extreme Rules, I am next in line for a title shot.

The Miz-You got yourself a deal.

Michael Cole-Can Team Miz get more awesome? Miz, Riley, and now Sheamus? There is no way Cena can top this tonight.

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Theo Mays · Jun 12, 2011

We return from break and we see John Cena wondering around the backstage area talking to numerous stage hands before he is approached by John Morrison.

John Morrison-You still looking for members of Team Cena tonight?

John Cena-Unless I plan on going on with these backstage boys, then yes Im still looking for teammates.

John Morrison-Consider one spot filled. It is still for the Monday Night Delight to step up and show just what hes got. Cena, you and the rest of the O2 Arena will be invited to a show live from the Palace of Wisdom courtesy of the Shaman of Sexy.

John Cena-Welcome aboard.

Cena and Morrison shake hands as Cena walks away with a quizzical look on his face after Morrisons previous statement.

Josh Mathews-Welcome back to Raw. Prior to the break we saw Miz recruit Sheamus to his team tonight and learned that Alex Riley would be a member as well. Now John Cena has found his first partner in that of John Morrison.

Matt Striker-Many have called Morrison the next Shawn Michaels. Morrison has shown glimpses of greatness in the past and tonight is a great chance for Morrison to shine and become part of the main event scene on Monday Night Raw.

Josh Mathews-Lets move onto a more serious note. Two weeks ago Randy Orton was brutally assaulted by the returning Skip Sheffield and CM Punk. Randy Orton has chosen to listen to the doctors orders to stay home while we tour overseas. Randy has been kind enough to join us from his home in St. Louis. Randy, how are you feeling?

Randy Orton-Im a bit banged up, but it is nothing I cant handle.

Matt Striker-Randy it is Matt Striker here. Any idea as to when you will return to Monday nights?

Randy Orton-I cant guarantee when Ill be back on Raw Matt. But I can tell you this. Come May 1st I will be in Tampa and I will be at Extreme Rules for one last battle against CM Punk. It is time to settle this score once and fall.

Michael Cole-If you are truly going to settle the score Orton, how do you plan to do that with the potential of Skip Sheffield lurking around?

Randy Orton-Cole Ive taken out the New Nexus one by one and had no problem with CM Punk before. If Skip Sheffield is there Ill be sure to save some energy for him. After I finish CM Punk and punt him back to Chicago, Ill do the same to Skip Sheffield and put him back on the shelf where he belongs.

Josh Mathews-Thank you for joining us tonight Randy. We wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see you soon.

[youtube]wbKX_sdOb_4[/youtube]

Josh Mathews-As good ole JR would say, business is about to pick up.

Michael Cole-Really Josh Mathews? Jim Ross? He isnt even worth the air I breath. Now CM Punk on the other hand, there is an announcing and wrestling legend.

CM Punk-So I just heard Randall talking and I had to come out. Where did he go? Oh where oh where did Randall Keith Orton go? Haha, thats right he had to do it from the confines of his own living room. Orton is too embarrassed and too afraid to show his face since myself and my One Man Nexus, Skip Sheffield put him down. Now Orton has the nerve to say he is going to punt the two of us back home. Orton I applaud your confidence, but if it is going to be any of us going home it is you Randall. At least you are getting use to it. Enjoy your lovely wife and your new born daughter Randall, as Im sure theyll be as sick of you like we are in no time.

Michael Cole-What the hell does Evan Bourne want? Did he not get enough of a beating last week?

CM Punk-What gives you the right to come out here little Evan?

Evan Bourne-Well Punk, maybe it is you who is the one that is afraid.

CM Punk-Me afraid? Dont kid yourself Evan.

Evan Bourne-Then why is it that during our scheduled match last week you passed the duties on to your lackey, Skip Sheffield?

CM Punk-So that is why you are upset Evan? That I couldnt give you a second of my time. I passed the duties onto Sheffield because I dont need to work with second rate talent like yourself. It would have been easy for me to disregard of you. That is why I saved my energy and allowed Skip to have a chance to show his worth.

Evan Bourne-Is that so Punk? Well how about you prove your worth tonight Punk? I am challenging you to a match. Right here and right now!

CM Punk-Well Skip couldnt make the trip and Ill admit I am pretty bored. So sure, why not? Why not take care of a second rate talent in a second rate country.

Josh Mathews-It looks like we have ourselves an impromptu match. Will Evan Bourne put CM Punks claims to rest or will Punk do what Sheffield did last week? Dont change that channel, well be back.

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

Michael Cole-Welcome back and just like youd expect CM Punk is in complete control of this matchup.

Matt Striker-During the break it looked like Evan Air Bourne was going to grace us with some amazing offense, but CM Punk moved out of the way and Bourne crashed and burned on the outside. Ever since it has been all CM Punk.

Punk has his legs wrapped around Bournes neck and Punk keeps releasing and drives the back of his leg into the throat of Bourne. Justin King, the official for this match asks Bourne if he surrenders, but Bourne wont budge. Punk goes for one more leg drive, but when he releases the hold Bourne kips up and nails Punk with a huge kick to the chest. Punk fell to the mat and Bourne waits as Punk sits up and gets nailed with two boots to the face. The crowd seems to be rejuvenated as Bourne starts to pick up the offense. Punk is up and is trying to block Bournes kick strikes. Punk manages to shove Bourne away. Bourne is right back up and Punk goes for a clothesline, but Bourne ducks it. Punk turns and Bourne nails a jumping knee to the side of Punks temple. Bourne quickly scurries to the top and it looks like he is going for Air Bourne, but Punk is rolling around and groggily gets to his feet. However when Punk turns he is nailed with a high risk attack from Bourne. Bourne drives both of his knees into Punk, sending the Nexus leader to the mat. Bourne quickly crawls for the cover and the upset.

And Punk gets his shoulder up.

Meanwhile a split screen shows up showing John Cena and the masked sensation, Sin Cara shaking hands.

A gasp of air is released from the London crowd as they thought Bourne had the win and Bourne is in shock himself. Bourne is up and stands behind waiting for Punk to get to his feet. Punk struggles to pull himself up as Bourne charges. Punk ducks his head and slingshots Bourne over the top rope, but Evan manages to land on the apron. Punk thinks he has tossed Bourne aside before being nailed with a huge kick to the head, knocking Punk straight to the mat. Bourne is a bit hesitant as he sees Punk motionless on the mat. The crowd is going bonkers as Bourne climbs his way to the top. Bourne poses at the top and jumps off of the ropes and doing a phenomenal Air Bourne. However Bourne crashes to the mat as Punk manages to quickly duck out of the way. Bourne is up and is holding his ribs from the crash. In the meantime Punk returns the favor and blasts Bourne with a kick straight to the head. Bourne is knocked out cold as his motionless body is being held up by the ring ropes. Punk lifts Bourne up and drops him the GTS and signals to the fans it is over.

Justin Roberts-And the winner of the match by pinfallCM PUNK!

Michael Cole-What exactly did Evan Bourne accomplish with that?

Matt Striker-Evan Bourne came out to show the WWE Universe that he was a fighting spirit and nothing could keep him down. The heart and determination of this young man is unmatched Michael.

Michael Cole-Nothing keeps him down? Well everything except a Go To Sleep from CM Punk.

The Miz-Dolph Ziggler

Vickie Guerrero-Excuse me?!?

The crowd breaks out into a round of boos at the sound of Vickie Guerreros voice and becomes even louder once she is in camera view.

The Miz-And how could I forget the ever so lovely Vickie Guerrero.

Vickie Guerrero-Thank you Miz. Now what can we do for you.

The Miz-Team Miz needs one more member tonight. Imagine this, Dolph Ziggler teaming up with the United States champion Sheamus, Alex Riley, and the most must see WWE champion The Miz.

Vickie Guerrero-Continue.

The Miz-Tonight Dolph you can become a bigger star than you already are. Youre your buddy John Morrison is joining John Cena tonight.

Vickie Guerrero-Youve said enough Miz. We accept.

Miz and Vickie shake hands as Vickie walks away. Dolph is quick to follow as he gives Miz a nod of approval before catching up to Vickie Guerrero.

Michael Cole-Dolph Ziggler as the final member of Team Miz? This team is unstoppable and the match is up next!

Justin Roberts-This match is scheduled for one fall and it is an eight man tag team match! Introducing first from Dublin, the United States Champion…SHEAMUS!

Michael Cole-What a recruit by Miz. Sheamus is the epitome of a champion. He is a King of the Ring winner, 2 time WWE champion, and current United States champion. There is nothing Sheamus can’t do.

Josh Mathews-Sheamus has been on a roll since capturing the US title, but we’ve just learned that Sheamus will be taking on the masked sensation, Sin Cara at Extreme Rules.

Michael Cole-Why must everything be about Sin Cara. The guy has had one match here in the WWE and all of a sudden he is the next big thing.

Josh Mathews-What is Cena doing out here? Was he not able to find a fourth member to his team?

John Cena-WWE Universe, we have a problem. It seems I haven’t had sufficient time to find a fourth member to my team. No harm, no foul. I’m not going to make excuses, because I have faith in the team that I have built here tonight. If my team has to go in one man down then so be it. The two men I chose, just like me will not go down without a fight. Lets do th.

Santino Marella-John Chainah, stoppah right dare. You need someahone to strike ah de fear into jah Miz? Santino Marella at your service. Nutting is more fearful than the cobra!

John Cena-Easy there tiger. So you are telling me you want in Santino?

Santino Marella-You are dang skippy John Chainah.

John Cena-Then lets do this.

Michael Cole-Is Cena treating this match like a joke? Santino Marella, you couldn’t do any better than this babbling idiot.

Matt Striker-While Santino may be the village idiot around these parts, there is no questioning the damage the dreaded cobra will do once it strikes. Team Miz may want to beware of the cobra.

Both teams huddle up in their respective corners before senior official, Mike Chioda tells each team to determine who will start the match. For Team Cena it will be John Morrison and Alex Riley will start off for Team Miz. Chioda rings the bell and the main event is underway. Morrison and Riley circle the ring before Morrison slides across the mat on one knee and tries to trip up A-Ry, but Riley quickly slides out of the way. Riley goes for a grapple, but Morrison moves and throws Riley into the ropes. Riley bounces off and then Morrison nails him in the kisser with a jumping spin kick. Morrison goes for the quick cover.

KICK OUT!

Riley quickly sits up and has a shocked look on his face as Morrison looks on, exuding with confidence. Riley starts shouting at Morrison that he wants Santino. Morrison looks Santino’s way and he is itching to get in as the crowd bursts out into a Santino chant. Morrison slides over and tags in The Cannoli of Charisma. Santino enters and the crowd erupts. Santino starts marching around the ring as Riley looks on confused. Santino stops in front of A-Ry and begins to talk trash before Riley greets him with a boot to the midsection followed by a forearm to the back. Santino falls to his knees as Riley charges the ropes and nails Santino with a kick to the skull. Instead of going for the cover Riley decides to remain on the offensive and drops two knee drops onto Santino’s head. Riley is now mocking Santino and smacking him on the back of the head as a dazed and confused Marella throws weak and wild punches. Riley shoves Santino into the ropes, but Santino bounces off and clocks Riley with a huge left hand, which throws the Varsity Villian for a swerve. Riley shakes it off and drives his knee into Santino’s midsection and throws him into his team’s corner. Riley holds Santino into the corner and Ziggler tags himself in. Ziggler wastes no time and starts putting the puts to Santino who slides into a seated position in the corner. Ziggler starts driving his knees into Santino’s head before Sheamus tags himself in. Sheamus lifts Santino up from the corner and starts nonchalantly slapping him in the face before driving an elbow straight into his cranium. Sheamus throws Santino out of the corner and goes for a cover.

KICK OUT!

Cena and crew are trying to get behind Santino, but it may be too much for Marella to bounce back from. Sheamus with sheer power throws Santino into the corner and follows it up with a huge avalanche like splash before Alex Riley tags back in. Riley now starts to drive his shoulder into the midsection of Santino before hip tossing him out of the corner. Riley drops an elbow on top of Santino and goes straight into a cover.

1…
2…
KICK OUT!

Riley slams the mat in frustration and is up arguing with Chioda. Riley blows him off and goes for another elbow drop, but Santino rolls out of the way. The crowd is getting behind Santino now, who staggers to his feet. Riley is up and goes for a punch, but Santino blocks it and nails Riley with a left of his own. Riley again goes for another punch, but Santino blocks and clocks Riley again. Riley charges Santino, but Santino ducks down into a split position (to the crowd’s delight) and pops right up and takes Riley down with an arm drag. Santino collapses to the mat as Cena, Morrison, and Sin Cara get behind him. Santino slowly crawls to his corner, where all three men have their arms stretched out. Riley scurries to his corner and makes the tag to Miz. Miz tries to stop Santino, but Marella dives and makes the tag to Miz’s arch rival, John Cena. Miz is wide-eyed as Cena comes in and nails a huge clothesline, followed by another and another. Cena goes for a cover, but it is broken up when Ziggler runs in and pulls Cena off. Ziggler is trying to talk Cena out of an attack, but Morrison blindsides Ziggler and knocks him out of the ring with a dropkick. Morrison remains on the offense and nails Ziggler with a Corkscrew Plancha. Cena watches on impressed, but Sheamus takes him down with an Irish Hammer to the back of the head. Sheamus stands celebrating, but not for long as Sin Cara takes Sheamus out with a headscissors. Sin Cara looks poised to go high risk, but Miz sneaks from behind and throws Sin Cara out. Miz is leaning against the ropes smirking out at Sin Cara. Cena is up and waiting for Miz. Miz turns and Cena gets him in the Attitude Adjustment. Miz tries to get out of it, but Cena is just carrying him around the ring. Miz finally grabs hold of the ropes and Alex Riley makes a blind tag. Cena throws Miz over the top rope and crashing to the floor. Riley, the legal man nails Cena in the side of the head with an elbow which sends Cena into the corner. Riley mocks Cena with the “You can’t see me” gesture before turning around to see that Santino is poking him on the shoulder. Riley runs at Santino, but Santino ducks and starts nailing Riley with lefts and rights which send Riley into a daze before Santino nails Riley with yet another arm drag. Santino has that look in his eye as his arm shoots up and Marella has the Cobra ready to pounce. Cena is still in the corner watching as Santino yells COBRA and nails Riley right in the jugular. Riley stumbles back and Cena catches him in position for the Attitude Adjustment. Riley slams to the mat and Cena makes the cover.

Justin Roberts-The winners of the match: Santino Marella, John Morrison, Sin Cara, and JOHN CENA!

Michael Cole-Team Miz got robbed. This is a travesty!

Josh Mathews-John Cena was the better recruit here tonight as his group of men came out victorious and who would have thought Santino Marella would have such a huge impact.

Josh Mathews-This swings lady momentum back into the favor of John Cena evening himself with Miz’s attacks last week.

Team Cena celebrates in the ring as Team Miz is looking on from the entrance ramp. The crowd is chanting Cena’s name as Team Cena has moved its way to the outside of the ring to celebrate with the fans as Raw goes off the air.

Da Prophet · Jun 12, 2011

Da Prophet Review

Good way to start off the show with John Cena and The Miz. Both were in character and you used them well. The GM coming in with the news of a huge tag match gives us something to look forward to. Really looking forward to seeing these two face off at Extreme Rules Theo, hope you can do something special with them. Also no more King, are you serious? This angle has me wanting to know what is going to happen now. Nice work bringing in angle that sucked to something interesting Theo.

Basic diva’s match for a title, solid nothing really to note. Good to see a new champion in the division though. Match was well written at least.

And here we are, WWWYKI! Zack Ryder alert and he gives the best promo of the night. Damn that was funny, I had a smile for most of it. The rap worked well and the lines made sense. Great job using Ryder like this. I wish I could bring him into mine but maybe for a later date. This was very good for something so short. Hopefully he can get some ring time next week on the go home show.

Loved the Regal and Bryan match you put on. Having the teacher vs student going against each other added some drama to the match. Both looked strong and Bryan continues his run getting another solid win. I wonder what is going on with Bryan as he seems to be floating around. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out on what happens with him.

Sheamus is the first man for Team Miz later tonight. Solid promo and Miz has someone strong on his team for tonight. And just moments later Cena has Morrison, teams starting to look good.

Now this is something I enjoyed reading. When you have Orton and Punk good things must happen. Orton sounded like his viperish self and Punk was awesome. These two can be very entertaining and you’re using them great. With Bourne coming out to the ring it added something extra. Nice to see the focus was still on Punk vs Orton though. Best promo so far tonight and probably best from this thread. Looking forward to the next show already. Having Orton not be at the arena was a nice touch.

Miz gets another man in Ziggler, nice team coming along.

The Main Event was great, really enjoyed reading the whole thing. Having Santino come out moments before the match was a smart move. Cena sounded like he was going to go without another man but in came Santino to make the save. Having the faces go over is the only move that should have been made. With Miz getting the better of Cena over the last couple of weeks it is good to see Cena get one back. I expect Miz to be the one going over at Extreme Rules and then to be moving onto something else. Unless we have a drafted coming up, if that is the case I could see Cena being the winner. It’s going to be hard to pick a winner and when that happens, you have done a fine job.

Overall: I really enjoyed the show this week Theo, you’re making the way to Extreme Rules so exciting. I can see this thread being one to continue for a couple of PPV’s. Both you and Peep have been putting out fine shows over the last month or whatever it is. Good work and I’m loving this thread.

GLOBAL ICON · Jun 13, 2011

Hey Theo. I'll just give you the main points.

The opening segment was good. It perfectly set up the huge 8-man tag team match. Basic diva stuff and great to see a new champion. Zack Ryder sounded good. Good job with the rap which made perfect sense. The Bryan-Regal match was cool and student vs teacher adds to the drama. Great aftermatch for this. Orton and Punk was perfectly done. Punk came out well and the match with Bourne was good. The main-event was enjoyable with the right people getting the win. I have a feeling The Miz will win LSM but I guess only time will tell.

Overall, a great show but I think there should have been another match. You just had 4 matches out which one was a divas. So, one more match could have been awesome. Just that little negative. Everything else fell in place for the build-up to Extreme Rules. I'm really looking forward to the show.

TSG · Jun 14, 2011

Review time.

Firstly, I liked the Team Cena/Team Miz storyline through the show, it wants you to keep watching to see what happens. Good opening promo, I like Cena getting serious. He is done messing with Miz, and it's time to get it on. Miz was the highlight though, showing he is not afraid nor intimidated by Cena at all.

New Diva's champ works. And now another highlight of the show, Ryder! He nails a promo showing his character so well. I love Ryder, and I love his mic work. I really want him to get somewhat serious and show some fire soon, but for where he is now this is perfect, as he shows the lighter, more funny and charismatic side of himself.

Bryan and Regal tear it up in a solid match, a good 2 and 3/4 star - three star match-up. Bryan picks up the win, which keeps him going strong. We see who is joining each team which works, as it sets up the match, keeps people interested.

Orton and Punk both with solid promos, and I love Punk and his character so he is always a treat for me. You can really sense the sarcastic side of Punk here, and his charisma, which is why I love him. And here comes Bourne, which is different but it works. We don't hear him often, but he is loud tonight, and the gauntlet is laid down. Solid match, with Punk winning as I was hoping for. He is looking good heading for OTL and Orton.

Good main event match as we feature Santino, Cara, Morrison, Sheamus, and Ziggler, who might not always get their shot their as Miz & Riley/Cena/Rock had been taking it up recently. A good match as the faces go over to establish their momentum. The fans are happy and Cena gains the upper hand for the week. Overall, good show, and I cannot wait for more. Cena and Miz is shaping up well enough, Orton and Punk is a highlight feud, and Sheamus and Cara are setting up decently as well. Plus we have Ryder on the side which is always a good thing and could be a great talent to be established. Can't wait to see something different than what WWE already have given us though, but it takes awhile to set that up and what we are getting now works. Good job Theo.

#1Peep's RAW Review
Another episode is down and it's time to review it, set to be another great one. Love how you write Cole, it's spot on, and Striker is a good choice to replace Lawler for now. Great little exchange between the two men and it's good to see Miz not backing down from a fight as Cena would be the favourite in a Last Man Standing stipulation. Awesome main event set, love big tag matches like that. Always good to have a title match on television every once in a while, this divas division is about to get even stronger in a few weeks time... Again you nailed Cole with that Natalya line and Striker crack. Eve was a very boring champion, the Bellas were on a roll and they deserved the title, good to see you switch it around though, doing something different is always good. Good match, great outcome. Love Ryder and of course Scott Stanford, I liked him before he was cool!, and this segment was hilarious.

I think I know what that laugh means. What an incredible match, Regal getting the recognition he deserves and wonder what you will do with Bryan after the next pay-per-view. Sheamus on Team Miz, makes sense. And now Morrison is on Team Cena, good choice. We might see Ziggler and Morrison at Extreme Rules? Intense promo from Orton and hope to see him next week, your are setting this match up to be brutal. Slightly disturbing promo from Punk, this build up is awesome. Cara on Team Cena cool, Punk needed this win to keep his large momentum rolling and he hasn't been in the ring for a while. Love how Miz is using his team mate's rivalries in order to convince to join his team, Ziggler on as well. Santino as the last man, I dunno, but we will see how it goes. Awesome main event Theo, the heels had the advantage but the farring superstars took out their repsective rivals to leave Riley open for the Cobra! Once again, another stellar show and the build up for WWE title match and Orton/Punk matches are going very strongly. Great matches and promos for the whole of the show but the only problem I had is the build up for Cara/Sheamus, maybe a big confrontation between the two next week, expecting something great and maybe even another match on the Extreme Rules card, Divas or Morro/Ziggles. Your shows are so fun to read and love the storytelling.

LSN80 · Jun 25, 2011

April 18th Raw Review

--- Great start to the show in following up the events of last week between Cena and Miz. I like the idea of serious Cena and him staying focused on the title. You kept him true to his character and serious at the same time. The Miz interruption was perfectly timed, and the 8 man tag match was set up well. I like the idea that the focus was put on the Last Man Stnding match that will happen at Extreme rules, and the tease of it happening tonight. Having Miz acknowledge how he put Cena down and can do it again is a little different from his typical chicken heel character, but him being slow to get in the ring was a nice touch. I also like how you firmly established what happened the week before between Lawler and Cole, and the emphasis on his firing. You've done a better job with his heel character then WWE did at this point.

--- Excellent psychology in the Divas match with having Brie lay down for her sister, in a sense playing possum so that she could get the rollup on Eve. You actually told a story in the match and brought a different element of "twin magic", so that was a nice touch.

---Loved the segment and the rap with Stanford and Ryder. Having Ryder adopting a rap gimmick could be very interesting, and I found myself curious as to where he goes from here. Funny stuff.

--- Smart doing the Bryan/Regal match in England, and I like that it(seemingly) got a decent amount of time, unlike when they actually wrestled one another on Raw. Nice falsh finish with Bryan getting on the rops just as the ref was going for the 3 count, and nice job establishing that Regal was the teacher, and it showed as he was able to avoid Bryan's attempts to put on the LaBell lock over and over until the younger Bryan finally got him off balance. I loved this match, thought it was written perfectly, and am glad it got the time it did.

--- I like that Sheamus only agreed to be on Miz' team if he was given a title shot after Extreme Rules. Im not a huge fan of heels and faces just teaming up "because they're heels and faces", so it was good to see Sheamus both address the situation with Sin Cara, have Miz suck up to Sheamus, and have Sheamus challenge Miz all in the same segment. A good one.

---Interesting to see Randy Orton follow the doctors orders and stay home. That doesnt seem true to his gimmick, although it was a vicious attack last week from the returning Sheffield. It would have been nice to see why Sheffield decided to join the New Nexus, and what plans Punk has for him. Anyway, it was a typical Orton promo, which isn't a bad thing.

--- The Punk promo was a nice follow up to the Orton promo. Both Punk and Sheffield have been established as legitimate threats and Sheffield was made to look like a badass the week before. It would be nice to see WHY Sheffield upon returning decided to take up with Punk and join the New Nexus, as not all the original Nexus members returned. Still, good promo from Punk, nice to give Bourne some mic time, and a good little match between the two.

--- I like how Miz continues to play the suckup and say whatever needs to be said to ensure he gets the teammates of his choosing. His team shaped up nicely. As for Cena's recruiting, it was kept short and sweet, as it seems they "respect" Cena enough to join him in the 8 man tag match. The interaction between Cena and Santino was funny and Cole's reaction to it was perfect.

--- Riley was the right man to take the pinfall in the 8 man tag match. He's been set up as the lackey and the least credible member of Miz' team, so with them losing, Riley was the right one to eat the pinfall, as he's essentially still Miz' lackey. Nice touch in having Cena playing to the crowd, and he was the right man to get the pinfall after the beating he took last week. It was a well written little match, and it's good to see Cara getting the rub teaming with Cena. Both Miz/Riley, Punk/Orton, and Sheamus/Cara are setting up nicely for Extreme Rules, and this match did a nice job getting a big emphasis on two of those matches.

---Overall a very good show. A title change that made sense with a nice tease for Kharma. Miz and Cena continues to progress nicely through both mic work and in-ring action. Punk/Orton has a nice twist to it with Sheffield being the wild card in the mix, Id establish why he's with Punk. But I liked how the feud is progressing, and it was interesting to see Punk presented as being dangerous that Orton stayed home. Ziggler and Morrison need some direction, and perhaps even a one on one match at ER. The show flowed nicely, an easy read, and has me looking forward to the next one. Nicely done.

GCB · Jun 30, 2011

GCB's REVIEW:

Hi Theo, here is the review I've promised you for ages!

A solid WWE-style opening with Miz and Cena arguing. I love the matches you write, man, but I'm not sure about the promos. I just think they miss something. Maybe you need to include some reaction, facial expression, IDK. Good twist with the 8 man tag idea.

Loved the Divas Title almost being decided by Rock, Paper, Scissors! Nikki loses RPS but then wins the title from Eve! Ha! Bellas celebrating but I have a feeling that Brie will be annoyed about it later on. She did win the RPS contest, after all!

Ryder and Stanford rap - OMG! Again, I didn't get much from the promo. I hope you can make Ryder a hit though, I am like most people and wanna see him given a chance. Bryan and Regal predictably have a 5 star match and Bryan wins it. Good decision, Regal is ready to move on.

Team Cena and Team Miz shaping up nicely. The Orton promo - not for me. Orton needs more intensity than that, he's been beaten up by Skip and should be fuming.

Sin Cara and Santino join Cena. Great performance from Santino and Cena wins it. Meh.

It was a standard show but it was very WWE like and I think it needs a little more to make it different and to make it stand out. I don't think it was much better than the real RAW TV shows we see and I want a BT to out-do RAW because it's not held back by money and PG and reality as much. Overall, it was a decent show but I want to be entertained more, Theo. Do something different, make me interested in it. Miz vs. Cena again? Orton vs. Nexus again? Hopefully, you can move the story on quickly and it'll make it more interesting.

Hope I've not offended you with that!!

Theo Mays · Jun 30, 2011

That is what I'm looking for GCB, thank you for that. Tough love never hurts nobody. Right now things are looking the same do to it being so early. Following Extreme Rules I'm hoping to make things different and branch out onto different things. Like I said things are a bit similar now due to it being so early and just wanting to finish off feuds to start fresh. Thanks for the review big guy and no offense taken. I'll definitely take what you said to heart and look to improve the promos and what not. Thank you sir!

Jam's Review
Theo, dudeee. Not only do you make great sigs, you make up pretty good shows as well. First of all, I love the formatting of your show. It is easy to read and is a format that comes into place in my Book This! thread. So thank you for that.

I like this Miz/Cena angle. Having them compete in Beat the Clock challenges were awesome. I like the match when Sin Cara kept up with Miz. It was truly amazing and I enjoyed it. The storyline of them having Team Miz and Team Cena is awesome as well. Dudeee, Santino on Cena's team? Really? Really? I love it! Haha. Santino is very entertaining and should be easy to write about.

Also, the promos on the show are amazing Theo. I gotta learn from that. Randy Orton's promo was spot on. He really sounded like the Viper we came to know. Punk's promo was great as well. So I guess if you're a good speaker in real life, it's just as good as it sounds on paper.

Overall, awesome job you're doing Theo. I'm looking to learn from all this and hope that you can check out my Book This! too. Cheers mate!
