As the show comes back on the air we go to the back were Josh Matthews is with the new owner of the WWE Dylan Kelly. Kelly talks about the beginning of a new era for the company after such a slow few years it has had. He also says that you will see some new faces on Raw and you will see some leave Raw.

His pyro explodes and he makes his way down to the ring. He grabs a microphone and tells the crowd to shut up as he has an announcement. Jericho runs through his list of accolades in this company and says he has loved his time here but he announces he is leaving for a while and thanks the fans for his journey.

*End Of Days*​

Just as Jericho is about to continue he is interrupted by his former NXT rookie Wade Barrett. Barrett enters the ring wearing a sharp looking suit as the crowd boo him. Barrett grabs a microphone and questions Jericho about sucking up to the fans as he and everyone else knows he is not good enough. Barrett tells the crowd about his days on NXT and how bad Jericho was as a pro he says that he is lucky he is that good because anyone else would have been eliminated in the first week with Jericho as their pro. He then says that he was better than Jericho then and he still is now. He says that Jericho will come back because he loves the attention of everyone. Jericho says he agrees with Barrett about loving attention but that is because he is the best at everything he does. He then says Barrett may talk a good game but he will always be an ASS CLOWN! As Jericho goes to continue Barrett decks him with a huge right hand and begins pummelling Jericho. He then picks Jericho up and throws him to the outside, as Barrett follows to the outside Jericho begins to fight back but it is short lived as Barrett delivers a knee to the gut. He then sends Jericho flying into the ring post head first which takes him out. The crowd jeers as Barrett looks over the dismantled body of his former pro as RAW goes to commercial.

*Commercial*​

When Raw returns we see Big Show in the ring ready for action as the crowd cheer.

*Ride Of The Valkyries*​

The Miami crowd erupts as Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring with his girlfriend AJ by his side. The crowd begin huge YES! Chants as Bryan climbs the top rope and raises his arm.

Daniel Bryan vs. Big Show

As the bell sounds Show uses his strength to overpower Bryan and throws him around like a rag doll. After dominating Bryan, Big Show calls for the WMD but AJ jumps onto the apron to grab the attention of Big Show after he glances at AJ he turns around and hits a WMD however he hits the ref! As Bryan ducked out of the way. Show then grabs Bryan and hits a Chokeslam. Then out of nowhere Cody Rhodes appears with a chair and cracks Show across the head with it. This sends the giant to his knees which allows Rhodes to hit a disaster kick! Another ref heads to the ring as Rhodes heads for the hills which allows Bryan to make the cover.

Bryan wins! He stumbles to his feet as AJ enters the ring and embraces him, He pushes her away however and sends her to get a chair.

He goes to town on Bryan with lefts and rights as AJ watches on in the corner, Orton sends Bryan flying over the top rope with a clothesline and then stares at AJ. She pleads with him to let her go as Bryan watches from the floor. Orton hits her with a RKO!! The Viper strikes again as Bryan and Orton look each other in the eyes as Raw goes to commercial.

*Commercial*​

When we return we get an update on AJ from Michael Cole as she has been taken to a nearby medical facility. Cole then tells us Mr McMahon as arrived at the arena for his farewell later on tonight. He then hypes up our main event of CM Punk and Sheamus Vs The Miz and Christian as we go backstage to Eve.

Eve is seen talking to a bunch of superstars who are complaining about not being on the show. Superstars such as Alberto Del Rio, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth plus many others. Eve tells them that she feels their pain and that they will get on air over the coming weeks she says tonight has been hectic due to Mr Kelly putting his feet firmly under the desk and they shouldn’t worry.

*I Came To Play*​

The Miz comes out for our main event to a mixed reaction from the crowd as he clearly must have some fans here in Miami. He runs and jumps onto the apron and poses for the camera he then gets into the ring and looks around at the fans.

*Just Close Your Eyes*​

Out comes his tag team partner Christian to a positive reaction from the crowd he walks to the ring and poses on the turnbuckle. He then looks at his partner and lets out a little smirk.

*Commercial*​

As RAW returns we see a replay of what just went down. Cole and Lawler discuss how things have just heated up between Sheamus and CM Punk.

*Seven Nation Army*​

The new owner of the WWE comes out to a huge pop from the Miami crowd he walks down to the ring and shakes hands with a few of the fans.

He says it’s an honour to be the man to take over this company. He introduces Mr McMahon to come down to the ring.

*No Chance In Hell*​

The Miami crowd goes wild as McMahon appears at the top of the ramp wearing a grey suit, he walks down to the ring with his famous strut and shakes hands with his successor. He then talks about his pride to have run this company for so many years. He tells the crowd that all he set out to do is entertain them and even if some of them don’t like him h knows that they were entertained. As he goes to leave the ring the whole WWE locker room appear on the stage as Vince looks confused he looks back at Kelly who brings out the McMahon family.

*Here Comes The Money*​

The music prompts the crowd to go into ecstasy as Shane, Linda and Stephanie McMahon emerge from the back. The locker room moves aside to let them walk down to the ring. When they get there they each embrace Vince who begins to become emotional. His children talk about how much of a great father he was and how much of an inspiration he was. Kelly then says if there is one thing Vince loves his firing someone so he offers to fire one last person before he leaves now. Vince smiles and looks at the locker room with a huge grin on his face as he looks through the superstars he has an epiphany and turns around to the announcers. He then points at Michael Cole and shouts YOUR’E FIRED!! To which the crowd pops huge.

GCB FEEDBACK
RAW​

Welcome to BT, my friend.

Right, feedback. A decent start to your BT, mate. The formatting is good, good use of images etc ... However, there is a distinct lack of detail in the show and it isn't a good thing. If you want the reader to get into the storylines, I fear you need more detail in your promos. I understand match summaries - except for main events and PPV's - but the promos are the things that get people involved. You had some good ideas but it needed writing out as a script with more detailed direct speech or you needed to elaborate on the reported speech further to give the BT some body, some life. I think your next show needs that so we can get attached to the stories and the matches you're creating.

Punk and Sheamus:
Not sure why you stripped them of the titles if they were just going to face each other. Why not have them both show up as WWE and World Champions and then announce a title unification for the Undisputed WWE Championship? Anyway, face vs. face is tough to pull off especially for a newbie, you need a reason for this. I'd consider Punk or Sheamus going heel here. Dylan Kelly seems like Chip Butty in my BT, too nice at the start, too bland. Looking for character development later in him. Can't take him seriously with 7 Nation Army as his music, my football team sing that after every goal (We're the red and white army!) and I also sing it at my little baby girl while I change her nappy!

Tyler Reks vs. Rey Mysterio:
Short and sweet, Rey gets the expected win. Had a feeling Reks and Hawkins would beat him down, Sin Cara out to make the save. Interesting to see the Mexicans teaming here, could they form a luchador team that will eventually put Sin Cara over as head luchador? Hmmm. Reks and Hawkins could use a big win if you wish to push them.

Brodus/Ryder vs. Swagger/Ziggler:
A bit too similar to current WWE, make a break from it. We've seen this on RAW already. Especially with Ziggler getting annoyed afterwards. You need to put your mark on the BT and set up some new feuds. I could go with more intensity in a Ziggler vs. Brodus Clay feud with Zig-Zag man ending the undefeated run, that's interesting. Rehashing feuds in Tag Team matches could get boring if you see where I'm going.

Dylan Kelly:
God, this guy needs a slap already. Come on Del Rio or somebody, get him hurt! Triple H as COO could lead to power struggles I guess?

Jericho:
Whoa, complete 180o turn in attitude from Jericho. That's fine, it's different, just felt it was rushed a little. I sense he isn't going anywhere though, I sense Barrett will convince him that at least one more match is needed. Like the thought behind Barrett targeting Jericho, good call there. I'm interested to see where that goes.

Bryan vs. Show:
AJ and Cody cause the distraction, Bryan gets the win over Show with some dirty, underhand tactics. Worried that this leads to Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes for the IC Title! Randy Orton makes the save - where did Cody Rhodes disappear to? RKO to AJ?!!! Wow! Strange decision there, AJ might be with Bryan but I doubt she has the heelness for Orton to get away with that! Not sure he would do it.

Punk/Sheamus vs. Miz/Christian:
Ha! I knew it! That was a bit predictable, mate! One of them wins, the other does the damage afterwards. I'd have guessed at Punk to win and Sheamus to Brogue Kick him too, Sheamus' move is a bit more out of the blue. First seeds of their feud now laid.

Vince McMahon send off:
Nice touch with Vinny Mac's send off. Cole fired - I wouldn't have done that, I think Cole could be a good heel.

Good start mate, more detail and it'll be even better. Read around the forum and check out the more established guys, give some feedback. It'll help you get to grips with the way you write, what works and what doesn't. Looking forward to the next RAW.

[The Cult]

Thanks for the review man, I wasn't sure about writing full promos but I will do it for the next episode. I hope I can improve off you're feedback. Thanks again man

Jam's Review
​

First of all, the show is looking pretty good with those graphics I made, aha. But also, the presentation is easy on the eyes so it's easy to read, that's a good thing to see. Also, I like how everything seems new. New WWE logo, sort of a new-ish Raw logo, and sort of a new opening video, hopefully that changes.

I agree with GCB that you needed to add more details in your promos but they did get their messages across. I have to disagree with GCB about having an Undisputed Title. Having an Undisputed Title would have to be in an era where there are a lot of big stars, much like Jericho. It might take away from the prestige of the Undisputed Title, so a WWE Title will have to suffice. Kelly reminds be a lot of Butty, so maybe you can get more pointers from GCB in how to develop Kelly. Would like to see him establish himself so he'll probably be a heel at first.

I like that you're giving Reks and Hawkins a chance on Raw. With Reks's match ending the way it did, I see that you're going to build your tag team division. A team of Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio will definitely be fun to watch. Can't wait to see what you have in store for that team, or what you'll even call them, haha.

Is see why you had this match between Clay & Ryder vs. Zig-Swag. However, I gotta agree with GCB once again about how you gotta keep away from real life WWE happenings. But I'm a fan of Ziggler so I'm glad that he'll go solo. Or well, it looks that way. Hopefully, he goes higher up the card and we see bigger and better things for him.

Also, there was a sentence about Cena there. Looks like you're gonna be having Cena not appear on Raw for a while and I don't mind that. Give the guy a break and when he comes back, let him wreak havoc.

Oh man, this is gonna be a big feud. Dating back to his NXT days, I've loved this pairing from the get-go. Barrett has really come into his own and could very well be the champion pretty soon but he needs that big feud to really elevate him. I think this feud with Jericho will be good for him, so kudos to you for doing that.

So the Rhodes/Big Show feud will continue, I honestly hope that this will not take long. Also, having Orton RKO AJ was interesting. So Orton is heel now, yeah? Maybe you can make him the mega heel, bring back his punt. But anyway, I like the feuds that are coming but there's gotta be more development to it.

Well the main event couldn't have ended cleanly. Interesting to see that Christian is gonna be a face, he works both roles pretty good. Plus, he'll probably feud with Miz so it'll be another nice feud. Sheamus makes his mark by delivering a Brogue Kick. Can't wait for this feud!

This was a pretty good feel good moment for the exit of Mr. McMahon. I like that you added Steve Austin for the farewell. Don't know about firing Cole but I don't mind it. Maybe he'll be back in some form later. So I'm wondering who you'd have replace him, maybe someone new like Edge? He's pretty good on commentary.

Overall, pretty good first show man. I like the feuds that you have got going on. I didn't really expect much but hey, this show exceeded my expectations for sure. Just continue to fix some grammar and some punctuations and you'll do fine. Good job bro!

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

SXEnightmare's Review:

Reks vs Rey first off let me say i really hope you push reks and hawkins i think they make a really good team so it would be nice to see them get a push looks like were getting a new team in rey and sin cara good move there looking forward to see where this fued goes.

Clay/Ryder vs Ziggler/Swagger short but decent tag team match didnt really perk my interest looks like Ziggler might be going solo maybe hes gonna fued with Swagger? might be interesting if so.

Jericho/Barrett Segment now this...this could be a great fued right here espically if its the fued that propels Barrett into main event stardom! both men are talented so they might put on some great matches together.

Bryan vs Show another short but decent match i wonder if you can make AJ and Bryan into a power couple that would be intersting and different if its the route you decide to take looks like Show isnt done with Cody just yet.

Sheamus/Punk vs Miz/Christian i saw the face turn by Christian coming the second he smirked at Miz but i prefer Christian as a face anyway so i dont mind it the brouge kick again saw it coming but Punk vs Sheamus and Miz vs Christian could be two good fueds if there done right.

overall not bad for your first show you need to put more detail into promos and maybe make the matches a little longer too i liked the send off for Vince as it makes sense and was a good way to end the show espically with Stone Cold coming out not sure about firing Cole but i wouldnt mind seeing JR or as JAM said maybe Edge replacing him on commentary.

anyway goodluck with your shows in the future so far so good as far as im concered man.

 

[ThatWeirdGuy]

Opening Segment: A more aggressive Punk against the new owner is good to go along with his anti-establishment ways. Having Sheamus come out and agree with him is odd, as I think that there could have been some conflict there between the two. I'm not to sure on this Dylan Kelly bloke just yet, but I'm sure that we'll see some development over time, as to his alignment. A big match for Backlash, my only worry is that the momentum for one of these guys following their Wrestlemania wins is going to be killed right away. But a feud between these two could be golden.

Reks vs Mysterio: Just being competitive in this match with Rey is giving Reks a good rub and some decent exposure, but even a not fully fit Rey Mysterio is going to win this match every day of the week. Sin Cara returning to help Rey is good, and I can see a new tag team forming from this possibly.

Ryder/Clay vs Ziggler/Swagger: I know that people have said that you are getting too close to reality here, but I'm sure that you're going to go your own way with this and actually have Ziggler elevated by this whole thing. Hopefully you end Brodus' streak soon... or heel turn.

Jericho/Barrett segment: I hope that this means that Jericho now has a reason to stay, and a feud between these two going into the summer months will be an apt send off for Jericho if he is still leaving as well as the perfect platform for Barrett to advance into the main event.

Bryan vs Big Show: You did good here in advancing the Cody vs Big Show feud, but I hope you don't miss a step like the WWE did and give Cody the title right back, it was stupid to see Cody win it a month later and lose it a month after that; served no point whatsoever. Anyway, I'm not that sure about Orton RKOing AJ, as I think Orton would probably be booed for doing that and not cheered; the RKO should have been on Bryan. Like someone else said, Rhodes must be a magician because he just disappeared in the aftermath.

Punk/Sheamus vs Miz/Christian: Good to see Miz and Christian up here with the big boys, as both men have bags of potential. Christian's face turn is good, as it seems we have a Sheamus heel turn after the match. Heel Sheamus > Face Sheamus. Christian vs Miz will be a nice feud to carry on forwards for the future. You have also already got me looking forward to the next show as I can't wait to see what Punk's reaction to the cheap shot is going to be!

A good start to the thread mate Maybe there could have been more detail like others have said, but nonetheless, an enjoyable read. You will only improve in time. Can't wait to see where it all goes!

Monday April 9th 2012
Verizon Center – Washington, DC

Raw comes on the air with Michael Cole outside the arena with a megaphone in hand.​

Michael Cole: OUTRAGE! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! AN INNOCENT MAN HAS LOST HIS JOB. A MAN WHO IS UNDEFEATED AT WRESTLEMANIA, THE VOICE OF THE WWE MICHAEL COLE.

Just as Cole goes to continue the new owner Dylan Kelly appears on screen to a pop from the D.C crowd.​

Dylan Kelly: Michael you don’t work here anymore, I’m sorry but it’s just the way it is. You’re going to have to leave.

Michael Cole: But come on sir, you know I’m the best commentator in the world, I have a contract you can’t just terminate my contract!

Dylan Kelly: The only way you can work here now is by becoming a wrestler which I highly doubt, or you can manage a superstar. The only problem with that is… everyone who works here hates you!

Michael Cole: I’ve got it just wait I’ll show everyone you can’t get rid of Michael Cole that easily!

The crowd boo as Cole runs off into the distance with Dylan Kelly looking on as the camera pans to the inside of the arena.​

Jerry Lawler: God I hate Cole! Anyway welcome to Monday Night RAW with me Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler and my new broadcast partner MATT STRIKER!

Matt Striker: Hey King, it’s great to be here not just as cover for once this is my dream! But enough about me last week on RAW we saw the announcement made, Sheamus vs CM Punk for the WWE championship at BACKLASH. Last week Sheamus made a statement by hitting Punk with a huge Brogue Kick.

Jerry Lawler: Well Matt, Punk and Sheamus are both in the building so expect some fireworks later tonight.

Matt Striker: We also witnessed the apex predator, Randy Orton hit Daniel Bryan’s girlfriend with a huge RKO! We’ll hear from him later on tonight.

*End Of Days*

The crowd begin to boo as Wade Barrett makes his way onto the stage wearing a smart looking suit.​

Matt Striker: Well King here comes the British Brute Wade Barrett who delivered an extremely violent attack on his former NXT pro Chris Jericho last week on RAW.

Jerry Lawler: And now we’ve got to listen to him come out here and brag about it!

Barrett enters the ring and calls for a microphone.​

Wade Barrett: Well Ladies and gents in case you’ve been hidden under a rock for the last week or are just plainly dumb like these people here tonight, you will have heard that I have ended the man that is Chris Jericho and just in case you missed it here is a little reminder.

Barrett points up to the titantron and a replay of his attack on Jericho from last week plays, showing his hard hitting punches on the Canadian repeatedly. As the video ends the crowd jeer and Barrett continues.​

Wade Barrett: Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! You see I told Chris the truth last week that I’ve always been better than him, I was better than him when I was on NXT and I’m most certainly better than him now!.

The fans begin a loud Y2J! chant.​

Wade Barrett: Chant his name all you want, but he’s not here! He’s gone, you thick people don’t understand I’ve ended his career! And it’s something you will get used to seeing me do.

*The Game*

Just as Barrett finishes the music of Triple H hits to send the crowd into raptures. The COO then appears on stage also wearing a suit. He begins to walk down towards the ring, towards Barrett. He enters the ring and picks up a microphone just as he goes to speak Barrett interrupts.​

Wade Barrett: What do you think you’re doing interrupting me Hunter!?

Triple H: What do I think I’m doing? I’m out here to inform you Wade, inform you that you were wrong about a few things you just said. Number one you’re not better than Chris Jericho and you probably never will be! And number two you haven’t ended Chris Jericho’s career in fact you’ve reinvigorated it!

Wade Barrett: What the hell are you talking about?

Triple H: Ya’see Wade, last week Chris was out here to tell the world he was leaving but after what you did he has decided to stay on one condition. That he faces you, one on one at BACKLASH.

Wade Barrett: Is that supposed to scare me Hunter, it just means I can end his career on pay per view! So you’re little announcement means nothing but more pain for Jericho to endure!

?: Hold on a second!

A voice is then heard out of nowhere, we learn that is the owner of the WWE Dylan Kelly who comes strolling down the ramp and into the ring.​

Dylan Kelly: Who has okayed this Hunter? In case you’ve forgotten I own this company now so everything and I mean EVERYTHING! Comes through me first!

Triple H: Listen Dyla-

Dylan Kelly: That’s Mr Kelly to you Hunter.

Triple H: Mr Kelly, you’ve never run a wrestling company before, the people want to see this arrogant bastard get what’s coming to him!

Dylan Kelly: I’ll tell you what, do you people want to see Wade Barrett take on Chris Jericho at BACKLASH?

The crowd respond with a huge cheer to the suggestion.​

Dylan Kelly: Fine, at BACKLASH you Wade will take on Chris Jericho. But Hunter if you ever make a decision without consulting me again I’ll have to seriously consider the consequences. Now Wade please go and get ready as you will face Brodus Clay later on tonight.

After the suggestion Barrett leaves the ring to a chorus of boos leaving Triple H in the ring with the chairman.​

Dylan Kelly: Now as I’m out here already I’d like to let you all know that Randy Orton has been fined $2500 for attacking the girlfriend of Daniel Bryan AJ. I will not tolerate male superstars attacking diva’s in this company unprovoked! Now Hunter you told me you wanted to appear on RAW this week for a reason so what is it?

Triple H: The reason I wanted to speak with you was about my job, to be honest I don’t want this job, I want to run a show and now that you’ve made the decision to get rid of Smackdown there is nothing for me.

Dylan Kelly: Maybe there is Hunter, ya’ see tomorrow night NXT makes it’s return to WWE and I couldn’t think of anyone better with you’re amount of experience to run the show, so what do you say Hunter?

Triple H: You got it!

The crowd pop at the huge announcement of Triple H running NXT! Kelly and Triple H shake hands as RAW goes to commercial.

*Commercial*​

As Raw comes back Matt Striker and Jerry Lawler debate the appointment of Triple H as NXT general manager. They also debate the fining of Randy Orton as we go backstage to Josh Matthews.

Josh Matthews: Ladies and gentleman my guest at this time Daniel Bryan. Daniel, how is AJ doing? As we know she isn’t here tonight.

Daniel Bryan: Forget about AJ, last week I pinned the Big Show, 1,2,3! And then Randy Orton comes down and attacks me and badly damages my ribs!

Josh Matthews: But Daniel last week Randy RKO’ed your-

Daniel Bryan: Shhhhh! I’m gonna’ head down to the ring and get answers from Orton face to face.

Daniel Bryan walks off screen as Matthews looks confused.

*Ride Of The Valkyries*​

Daniel Bryan emerges from the back to plenty of jeers, however a few YES! Chants can be heard by the older fans. Bryan steps into the ring and picks up a microphone.

Daniel Bryan: Randy come out here and look me in the eyes, face to face man to man!

*Voices*​

Washington goes wild as Randy Orton appears on stage, he slowly walks down to the ring without taking his eyes off Daniel Bryan he enters the ring and grabs a microphone.

Randy Orton: Daniel you want to know why I attacked you and you’re girlfriend last week?

Daniel Bryan: I don’t care about why you attacked her, I want to know what problem you have with me!?

Randy Orton: Daniel this all started back in February, before the Elimination Chamber pay per view. You took me out before you had to defend you’re title against me and 4 others inside the chamber. Because of you I was in a filler match at WrestleMania, I should have had a title match, the reason for my attack was revenge!

Daniel Bryan: Well you’ve started something that I’m gonna finish now Randy, you may have had a fine but that’s not enough, I challenge you to a match at BACKLASH for redemption!?

Randy Orton: You really don’t want to face me Daniel, I-

Just as Orton is about to finish Bryan smacks him with the microphone to the skull. Bryan then applies the YES lock to Orton who begins to tap out as officials run down to the ring to get Bryan to release the hold.
Matt Striker: Well King Orton is usually the master of surprise but Bryan has caught out and played the viper at his own game here.
Officials eventually pull Bryan off Orton as Bryan the slithers under the ropes and walks to the back with a huge smile on his face. Raw then goes to commercial.

Dylan Kelly: Show, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you will face Cody Rhodes at BACKLASH. The bad news for you is that it will not be for the Intercontinental championship.

Cody Rhodes: Show I’m not scared of you anymore as there is nothing to fear, I don’t want us to face for the Intercontinental championship as I want my victory to be the most important thing, not the championship. This isn’t about the title anymore it’s about me and you!

Big Show looks up at the screen as we go to commercial.

*Cult Of Personality*​

CM Punk comes out with a microphone in hand and interrupts his music.

CM Punk: We get it Sheamus! You’re Irish, you love to fight people you’re basically a big ginger Finlay! Anyway I do actually agree with you, a confrontation basically means a fight, but why don’t we talk before I kick you’re ass all over the Verizon Center! When you became WWE champion back in 2009 it was a hot topic. You had only been here what? 3 months and you won the big one! The only reason you are this high up on the scale is because of you’re workout buddy Triple H! hell if I had the chances you’ve had I’d be a ten time WWE champion by now! I thin-

Sheamus: Listen to me now Punk! I’ve worked damn hard to get where I am today fella’. So you can say whatever you want because I know I’m going to be the new WWE Champion come Backlash.

The crowd lets off a mixed reaction to that statement from the Irishman.

CM Punk: Well that’s were I beg to differ Sheamus but I think we’ve talked enough, I owe you one for that Brogue Kick last week so lets go!

CM Punk drops his microphone and sprints down to the ring. He and Sheamus go at it trading blows with each other. Sheamus then takes down Punk and begins to hammer away at him, eventually Punk turns the tables.​

Matt Striker: Things have exploded here on Monday Night RAW! Someone needs to stop this!

Jerry Lawler: I think these two can fight till BACKLASH the way they’re going at it here!

Eventually the WWE locker room run out to try and split the pair up. They eventually split them with them separated into opposite corners. The crowd chants ‘Let them Fight’ . Punk just looks at the Irishman and smiles.​

Matt Striker: What the hell King, Punk is smiling! What will happen next week on RAW!?

The pair stare at each other from opposite corners as RAW goes off the air.

SXEnightmare's Review:

first off im gonna get this out of the way now....more detail in matches would be great here it doesnt have to be the whole match all the way through like i do but it would show off your match writing ability by adding more details to the matches just wanted to say that.

the opening segment was good it set up wade barrett vs chris jericho even more thats gonna be a good one looking forward to that match triple h in charge of NXT hmm might bring in some interest to the show looking forward to finding out who the rookies will be though.

well based off everything daniel bryan has said this is him ending things with her....which is MUCH better then the whole aj in a neckbrace and the way wwe handled daniel bryan fued with big show originally over aj being hurt...that just got horrible fast so the fact you dont seem to be doing that i like.

i was hoping ziggler would win this kinda random match but oh well....is kane a face or a heel? swagger gets jobbed out bit a disapointment sense im not really intersted in show.

ahh hawkins probably my favorite jobber in wwe right now i like him and reks as a team and this fued seems like it will be good, i was surprised to see hawkins win but i love it.

damn wade wasted no time in destorying brodus! i had a feeling wade would win good to see him pick up the victory.

the tag match was good happy to see miz and sandow pick up the victory as it gives sandow much needed momentum and it furthers the fued between miz and christian. also happy to see ryder get some ring time.

good segment between the 2 men challenging for the belt at backlash but maybe the brawl could have went a little longer?

overall it was a good show my only compliants are it didnt feel like a 2 hour show and the matches should be a little longer i like what your doing with punk hes basically (to me atleast) turning heel with his pipebombs...i like it and you know im a fan of the hawkins/reks vs sin cara/rey fued keep up the good work.

GCB FEEDBACK
RAW​

Well done, CoP, you clearly listened to your feedback and you put it into practice with an improved show. You're still a newbie, there are still things to work on but - because I saw improvements and I saw you listened to our feedback - I'm going to feedback again! I'm sure you won't mind.

Barrett promo re: Jericho:
Good to see you give Barrett the opening, shows that you're big on him and his place in your show. I'm expecting him to go over and Y2J to make him look a million bucks in the process. I'd suggest watching some promos of guys on YouTube as it can really help you get into the things that they say and can make your promos even more realistic. However, this was a good promo and all the other promos were much improved on last show. I think the scripted direct speech works really well. Barrett vs. Jericho at Backlash is now set, add some juice to it now, Jericho needs to return and what you do when he returns can make this go from interesting to great.

Heel seeds for Dylan Kelly / HHH to NXT:
So, there we have it - Kelly is going to be heel. Seeds of heelishness are there in his handling of Trips (and his awarding of IC shot to Del Rio later) but one thing I'd say now is to not make it obvious. Don't shove his heelishness down our throats. Drip it in, bit by bit, develop him a little each time until BOOM! Something big happens. HHH to NXT - great way to make NXT seem dead important (JBL and Rock in my NXT shows!) and I like that. "You got it!" from HHH? That's what I mean by listening to promos on YouTube - I can't buy the idea that Trips just says that!

Bryan challenges Orton:
Right, promo-match balance? You've had a long promo (two promos in one) to start, now another promo - the matches should have started there. Bryan-Orton could have waited until after the first match. Bryan not interested in AJ's health it seems, heel, good. Orton challenged and accepts. Bryan attacks. Wrestling 101, very simple, very clear. Not sure how Orton can be remaining face after attacking a face AJ last week though. Setting this up well though, think carefully about your next move.

Err, Ziggler squashed?
Finally, we have a match! And Kane destroys Ziggler in under a minute. Real waste here, mate. Facing Kane suggests Ziggler has turned face after leaving VG last week. That should equal momentum and a push. Instead, you buried him big time to Kane who hasn't really got a feud right now. Ziggler needs the push, he should have at least put up a hell of a fight and then lost via Swagger distraction? I see you're heading to Swagger vs. Ziggler at the PPV, fine, it needs more than Zigs just leaving Vickie though. Bit disappointed with that one, you made a great superstar look dead weak.

Another squash?
Big Show squashes Swagger? OK. Two in a row, one minute matches. If you're heading for Swagger vs. Ziggler, this is not going to work. Big Show vs. Cody Rhodes at BACKLASH but not for the IC Title. Good call. Hope Cody wins it somehow, he needs the bump. Be careful of too many squashes - particularly one after the other.

Hawkins surprises Sin Cara:
Now this was a little more detailed but I would like to see a little bit more of a summary of the match before you crack on with the ending. An issue I have with this is that it all seems a bit underwhelming at the end. Cara has hardly lost in WWE (once?) and Hawkins has just beat him. That's a heck of a big deal and you needed to show that - otherwise, you fail to capitilise on the big push you've just given to Hawkins (and Reks). Even if it is just Sin Cara's reaction in more detail, a few comments from the commentator, a replay on return after the commercial?

Barrett gets big win over Brodus:
I see what you tried to do. You tried to have Brodus lose his undefeated streak but have Barrett use dirty tactics to do it - therefore, Clay doesn't look weak. The only problem with this is that you now need Brodus to go after revenge on Barrett - you've set up a perfect feud between them - but he is going to be feuding with Jericho. You either forget Brodus' issues with the Wadester or you mix him up in the Barrett-Jericho thing. Either way, I fear Brodus looks weak. But you wanted Barrett to face a big guy to make him look strong, I understand that. Maybe he could have faced Ziggler? You made Ziggler look weak earlier, maybe Barrett could have used dirty tactics to beat Zigs instead and you could include Vickie and Swagger in it somehow? You have a lot of feuds developing on one show, it's inevitable there is going to be crossover between feuds but the key is to make sure you pick your moments in them. Like I say, whichever way you go here, Brodus' streak ending has been semi-wasted and he looks a little weak.

Miz and Sandow get win over Christian and Ryder:
Barrett could also have faced Mr. Ryder? Anyway, moving on, further developing Miz vs. Christian from last week, nice move. Miz with the sneaky win over Christian who looks strong as he had Sandow beaten. Good move. Nothing to complain about here, just need to see Miz and Christian become a little personal now for interest.

Sheamus and Punk:
Was that it?! I'm sounding harsh there but that was a little bit of a tame way to end RAW. They had a little argument, had a little fight, they were split up, end show. For the last segment, that isn't what I expect - maybe have one of the guys destroy the other, i.e. cement a Sheamus heel turn with a dastardly attack? It's fine, it does move the feud on a little but not a drastic ending like I expected heading into it.

Right, lots of 'negative' comments but I do think they're fixable if you plan it out a little more and think carefully about how you're going. The formatting and such is fine so you're being judged on the quality of the booking, pretty rare for a second show. You might think I'm talking bollocks at times, I probably am, but I hope you take some of my criticisms on board. The fact that I keep reviewing the show and feeding back shows you that I am reading and I am enjoying and I am interested. I want to see you make the show better and better, I think it could be a good BT if you stick at it.

GCB

 

[The Cult]

Thanks for the feedback guys I'll hopefully improve on it for the next show which will be NXT. Just to answer your question nightmare Kane is a tweener it just depends who he is facing when he gets a reaction for now. Also GCB I haven't got plans for Swagger vs Ziggler as I've got something set for Ziggler in my mind. Hopefully on NXT I can improve my match writing as it will be more wrestling heavy then promo heavy. Thanks again.

Jam's Review​

I'm always a fan of unconventional opening so I liked this one with Cole causing a ruckus outside. Interesting here that Dylan has given Cole a chance to come back but under one condition, good booking here. Striker replaces Cole on the announce team and I love this move. Striker should be able to provide a good sense of what's going on in the ring which is all we want really.

Seems to me that there may be a power struggle between Dylan and HHH but that's perfectly normal. I'm not sure about HHH just accepting a GM spot on NXT, maybe he could've come back as a wrestler instead. This Barrett/Jericho opening was pretty good with Barrett voicing his opinions of what he thought he did to Jericho. I'm excited to see a face Y2J.

I get that Daniel Bryan doesn't care about AJ at this point but there should've been something said about AJ at least. The exchange between Orton and DB was kinda awkward to be honest. It just seems a little cliché that Orton would actually say that he attacked DB for revenge. And with what Dylan said earlier about matches going through him first, I'm pretty confused as to why DB just made a match for himself at Backlash. But yeah, kind of an awkward part of the show for me.

I don't like the move of Dolph jobbing to Kane but you told me that there may be more to this. And with Swagger not fairing any better against Big Show, I believe you. Another awkward promo here with Show when you had him call out Cody but told him he shouldn't come out? Lol. But anyway, I get that you wanted to make this feud more personal so that's why the IC Title isn't up for grabs. Maybe you can have that for Miz and Christian.

Just handing Del Rio a title shot? Hmmm. I'll save my thoughts on that one. And damn, I would love to see Barrett hit that move on Brodus in real life. That must've been such an impactful move and could really end a match. I'm glad that Barrett is getting a push as he could be WWE Champion real soon much like in GCB's thread.

Sandow really is an interesting character so it was a good that he was in a high-profile match. I'm really liking this Miz/Christian feud as it could be a great promo battle between the two and they're not bad in the ring either. I

Pretty good way to end the night but I'm not sure that the locker room had to break this up, security would've been fine. Punk's shooting again with his promos, lol. This'll be a really nice feud if you book it correctly. And so far, it's been really good so kudos to you for that.

Overall, another quality episode here Cult. You're doing quite well for a new guy I must say. I just think you need a little more detail on your matches and you need to go back and check before you post. But everything else is fine, can't wait for the next show.

SXEnightmare's Review:

well we got a weird opening segment with triple h being intruputed by primo,epico and rosa i mean why them? maybe you have plans for them as solo wrestlers or something based off the fact they faced each other but you could have put DETAIL into the match not just a roll up that was weak honestly.

next up is beth vs kelly well let me start by saying i dont like how your sticking all the women on nxt you could always trim the fat from the divison and make it strong again? just a suggestion but beth wins which is good hope she gets a push soon.

and main event time kofi vs drew i liked this match unlike the other two this one had plently of detail and its two guys who could use a big push just at different levels i would say this match should be as much detail as you put into all your matches.

overall not a bad first NXT show i was hoping NXT would go back to being pros and rookies sense you could use it to bring up some top FCW guys or some indy stars or even TNA stars you might wanna bring into your BT but i can handle this main event was easily the best match on the card and it looks like we might be in for a power struggle from triple h and william regal sometime down the road? that would be intersting.

 

[The Cult]

Thanks for the review. I may introduce rookies and pros to NXT but I need to study superstars from fcw etc. To get to know them,this show is to help my match writing skills develop. After Backlash I hope my RAW matches can be like the Main event.

 

[GCB]

Right mate, NXT. Not for me, this one. I see what you're trying to do but Triple H has too much star power to be interrupted by Primo and Epico. Why would he put them in a match? Seems a bit of a rushed show all the way through. I think that NXT works as a competition type idea - maybe there could be an NXT Championship that only guys who've never been World/WWE Champion (maybe IC/US as well) can win? Maybe being the NXT Champion could guarantee a IC/US Title match down the line after they've lost it? Glad to see you're wanting to make a big deal of Drew Mac still, good match with Kofi. I think the show is definitely not your priority and it showed. Maybe you need to focus on the major parts of the WWE before you also try to fix NXT?

Looking forward to RAW.

We’ve had our eyes on the Tag titles for a very long time and there is no way you two are gonna’ take OUR chance.

We then go back to ringside.


Matt Striker: It may be a change in plans but battle royals are always full of excitement! And a huge tag title match in the offing now King, Kelly seems to be making waves running this company.

Jerry Lawler: You got that right Matt I can’t wait to see those superstars go at it for a title shot! Hawkins and Reks have waited a long time for their opportunity and there’s no doubt in my mind that they will be ready for Cara & Mysterio come Backlash.

Matt Striker: Well now some real serious business King, two weeks ago on RAW we saw the ruthless attack Wade Barrett perpetrated on Chris Jericho, Chris wasn’t here last week however he’s here tonight and he will host the highlight reel with his guest being his Backlash opponent Wade Barrett! See it unfold when we return.

Chris Jericho: Will you just shut the hell up! Wade I was ready to put an end to my illustrious career in this company but you attacked me! But why? Wade…. Jealousy?

Wade Barrett: Ha! Jealous of you Chris, I don’t think so I’ve always been better than you! I attacked you to prove my dominance in this company. I wanted people in the back to stand up and take notice of Wade Barrett and what better way to do it than take out the most overrated internet darling there has ever been!

Chris Jericho: You’ve started something Wade that didn’t need to be started I was leaving with my head held high, I was leaving as the ayatollah of rock ‘n’ rolla, the man of 1,004 holds…….the best in the world at what I do!

Wade Barrett: Chris that is where you are a hypocrite! You come out week after week and bad mouth people but at the drop of a hat you decide to play up to them. I know you’ve always loved attention but the spotlight isn’t on you anymore Y2J! It’s on me and at Backlash you can leave this company with your head held high… by paramedics putting you on a stretcher!

Chris Jericho: When you debuted on NXT ,I tried to pass on my wisdom onto you and you told me I was your idol and that I was an inspiration in this business, so if you wanna’ talk about people changing you sir are the hypocrite. You can make all the threats you want but you won’t amount to anything in this business!


Barrett then begins to become angry and he throws over his stool.


Chris Jericho: Touch a nerve Wade did I!? See that’s what I do, I know I can get in your head as easy as I will beat you at Backlash. I can assure you Wade after Backlash you will never…


Jericho then throws his stool and begins to walk towards Barrett.


Chris Jericho: Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


Security then rush into the ring and get in between the pair.


Chris Jericho: Be the same….again!

*Break The Walls Down*​

Matt Striker: I can’t wait for Backlash King, we’re gonna’ see these two go at it in one of the toughest battles of Chris Jericho’s career!

Jerry Lawler: Barrett’s hungry Matt, and he wants Jericho if we know one thing it is that we’re in for one huge battle at Backlash.


Jericho then drops his microphone to the ground and stares down Wade Barrett who stares back as we go to commercial.

*Commercial*​

Josh Matthews: Ladies and Gentleman my guest at this time CM Punk!

CM Punk: Heyyyy Josh!

Josh Matthews: Punk, later on tonight you will team up with a man you have a lot of history with Daniel Bryan, to take on Randy Orton and your Backlash opponent Sheamus. Are you looking forward to getting a piece of the Irishman?

CM Punk: First things first Joshy boy I don’t understand why I have to team with Daniel Bryan tonight, when everyone full well knows I’m the best in the world! I can take Orton and Sheamus all by myself. Now to answer your question, of course I can’t wait to get a piece of Beaker I mean Sheamus. There is no doubt he’s tough but when he steps into my hometown Chicago Illinois at Backlash he’s leaving with nothing! Nothing Josh, nobody beats me in my hometown regardless of who they are…. Tonight Sheamus is gonna’ get a little piece of C….M Punk!

Punk then walks off the screen to a huge ovation from the crowd.

Then only Kofi Kingston, Drew Mcintyre and Kane remain in the contest, Kofi and Mcintyre try to double team Kane and throw him over the top but he uses his power to great effect and fights them both off.

Josh Matthews: Dolph! Dolph!


Ziggler then turns around from his car to Matthews.


Josh Matthews: Dolph, what was that attack on Tyson all about?

Dolph Ziggler: I’ll tell you what it’s about Josh, I was out there doing what I do best…stealing the show! It was only a matter of time before that Intercontinental title was coming to MY waist. And then I get eliminated by Tyson Kidd!!?? The guy can’t even get on this show without it being a Battle Royal! So Josh I was teaching the kid a lesson, he can come from the hart dungeon all he wants but he will never be better than me!


Ziggler then gets in his car and drives off as we go back to ringside.


Matt Striker: King, some harsh words from Dolph Ziggler there regarding Tyson Kidd.

[The Cult]

I'm new to this Be the booker so I don't know if it's aloud but I want to give you my predictions.

CM Punk v. Sheamus
Prediction - CM Punk

Wade Barrett v. Chris Jericho
Prediction - Chris Jericho
(Hopefully Wade can then come out the next night saying Jericho got a "fluke win" so the feud continues)

Tyler Reks/Curt Hawkins v. Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara
Prediction - Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara

Cody Rhodes v. Big Show
Prediction - Cody Rhodes

Sure mate, the card isn't full yet though. Predictions are welcomed, one more RAW before my first ppv!

 

[Mr. Book This Section]

Man, I'm loving your BTB. I'll do my predictions in a hole when all of the matches are annouced. I wish some day my BTB thread will be as big as yours. When will RAW be posted?

Thanks mate, I'll check yours out tomorrow, I'll probably start writing RAW tomorrow, I don't know when it will be up though.

Thanks for checking mine mate! Also I'm glad to here RAW will be up. The go home show for Wrestlemania (Raw wise.) Should be a good read.
