Thursday, Week 4, December, 2014 The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live: Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy versus Rich Swann The main event of tonight’s episode of 205 Live was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield and will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy take on Rich Swann in non-title action. This past Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View Buddy Murphy made his first successful title defence after beating both Cedric Alexander as well as the masked Rey Mysterio in a Triple Threat match after Buddy Murphy pinned Cedric Alexander following Murphy’s Law whilst Mysterio was on the outside of the ring. The Fan Favourite Rich Swann as well as his friend Cedric Alexander have mocked Buddy Murphy in recent weeks due to the Australian Murphy’s lack of personal hygiene and have claimed that Buddy Murphy looks like a “Bum”. However, despite his personal hygiene issues nobody can doubt Murphy’s success in the ring and Murphy is undefeated since beating Cedric Alexander for the Cruiserweight Championship on 205 Live last month. Tonight’s main event is a rematch from two weeks ago when Murphy beat Rich Swann in 205 Live’s non-title main event. Last week Buddy Murphy teamed with Enzo Amore to defeat Rich Swann and Chad Gable with the stipulation being that the loser of the match would lose their 205 Live contract, and Buddy Murphy pinned Gable in the main event last week in what would be Gable’s final 205 Live appearance before moving to Monday Night RAW. An all-important victory for Rich Swann in tonight’s main event could well lead to Rich Swann getting a future title opportunity, and the WWE Universe will certainly be on Swann’s side tonight. Chris Jericho versus Chavo Guerrero Two veterans and former Cruiserweight Champions will go head to head tonight on 205 Live as the “Cheeky Monkey” who loves to have fun, “Y2J” Chris Jericho will take on Chavo Guerrero, who in recent weeks has told anybody that will listen that he is the CEO of 205 Live, despite the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield stating on commentary that he has no recollection of appointing Chavo in any managerial position whatsoever. Jay Briscoe versus A.R. Fox The “Redneck” Jay Briscoe picked up his first victory on 205 Live last week against Noam Dar after Jay Briscoe lost to Epico in his 205 Live debut the week before. Tonight Jay Briscoe will look to pick up another win as he goes one on one with A.R. Fox, a “Cocky” Superstar whose last match on 205 Live came all the way back in August when he defeated the “Japanese Buzzsaw” Tajiri in A.R. Fox’s 205 Live debut. Both of these Superstars will be looking to end the year on a high note with a victory here heading into the new year. Quick Picks: Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy versus Rich Swann Chris Jericho versus Chavo Guerrero Jay Briscoe versus A.R. Fox (Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month.)

Tuesday, Week 4, December, 2014 NXT Something to Prove (Live from Universal Sound Stage 21 (FL) 1,400 in Attendance) Tyler Bate versus Samuel Stewart In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Tyler Bate defeated Samuel Stewart in 8:16 by pinfall with a Tyler Driver 97. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette welcomes the live television audience to the show and introduces his commentary partner, former WWE Intercontinental Champion Rikishi. Rikishi says he is still as “Savage” as he used to be and thanks Jim Cornette for inviting him to join Cornette on commentary tonight inside a sold out NXT Arena. Tyler Bate, the first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion, then makes his way to the ring to a decent reaction from the NXT Universe in attendance. “True Born” Tyler Bate has experience competing in front of the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW and has even competed on four Pay-Per-Views, including Summerslam earlier this year. Tyler Bate’s opponent tonight, Samuel Stewart, receives little to no reaction from the NXT Universe in attendance. Jim Cornette says that an all-important victory for Tyler Bate tonight could lead to the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox giving Bate another UK Championship opportunity in the future. Tyler Bate gets the win here with a Tyler Driver 97. Match Rating: E- Highlights are shown from the most recent NXT UK event which saw Sebastian Knight defeat Tank to retain the NXT UK Midlands Heavyweight Championship as well as Franco defeating Brian Kendrick in the main event to retain the NXT UK British Heavyweight Championship. Rating: E+ Aksana versus Emma In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Aksana defeated Emma in 6:46 by pinfall with a DDT. Despite trying to come across as the “Girl-Next-Door”, the NXT Universe in attendance heavily booed Emma as she made her way to the ring for this match against the Lithuanian Aksana, who despite being more of a “Diva” than an athlete got a decent reception from those in attendance inside the sold out NXT Arena. Both of these women have experience competing on the main roster in front of the WWE Universe but it was Aksana who got the win here after hitting Emma with a DDT. Match Rating: E NXT Tag Team Championships: Team Brilliance (Charlotte and Eve) © vs. Audrey Marie and Alicia Fox In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, Team Brilliance defeated Audrey Marie and Alicia Fox in 15:29 when Charlotte Flair defeated Audrey Marie by pinfall with a Natural Selection. Team Brilliance make defence number six of their NXT Tag Team Championships. The NXT Tag Team Champions Charlotte Flair and Eve Torres, known to the NXT Universe as Team Brilliance, receive a great reception from the sold out NXT Arena as they make their way to the ring for this title defence against Audrey Marie and Alicia Fox. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette notes on commentary that Team Brilliance are the longest current reigning Champions in all of the WWE, including NXT, Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown and 205 Live. Three of the women in this match have experience competing in front of the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW or Friday Night SmackDown, with Charlotte being the only competitor to be an NXT mainstay and yet to make her main roster debut. Charlotte and Eve retain their titles again tonight after Charlotte Flair pins Audrey Marie following Natural Selection. Match Rating: D+ Sin Cara versus Camacho versus Steven Walters versus Boone Sparrow In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Sin Cara defeated Camacho, Steven Walters and Boone Sparrow in 8:05 when Sin Cara defeated Boone Sparrow by pinfall with a Swanton Bomb. The masked Sin Cara, wearing chains and looking like a Gangsta, receives a great reception from the NXT Universe inside the sold out NXT Arena as he makes his way to the ring for this Fatal Four-Way match. Camacho, Steven Walters and Boone Sparrow then make their ways to the ring. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette notes on commentary that the winner of this match could be in line for a future title opportunity and Sin Cara wins the match after pinning Boone Sparrow. Match Rating: D- NXT Championship: Curtis Axel © vs. NXT North American Champion Ezekiel Jackson vs. Kyle O’Reilly In a match that had some good action and average heat, Curtis Axel defeated Ezekiel Jackson and Kyle O’Reilly in 12:58 when Curtis Axel defeated Ezekiel Jackson by pinfall with a Perfect Plex. Curtis Axel makes defence number six of his NXT Championship. “Generation Next” Curtis Axel, the third-generation competitor, receives perhaps the biggest reaction of the night from the NXT Universe inside the sold out NXT Arena as he comes to the ring to defend his title in a Triple Threat match against the NXT North American Champion Ezekiel Jackson as well as Kyle O’Reilly. Ezekiel Jackson shows why he is a “Bad Ass” as he dominates most of this match whereas the Egomaniac Kyle O’Reilly tries to stay away from Ezekiel Jackson as much as he can. Eventually Curtis Axel is able to put Ezekiel Jackson with a Perfect Plex to score the pinfall whilst Kyle O’Reilly was laid out on the outside of the ring at the hands of Ezekiel Jackson. Match Rating: C+ Ricochet and Johnny Gargano versus Roderick Strong and Evan Bourne In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Ricochet and Johnny Gargano defeated Roderick Strong and Evan Bourne in 18:21 when Ricochet defeated Evan Bourne by pinfall with a 630 Splash. The “Cocky” Johnny Gargano receives a great reception from the NXT Universe inside the sold out NXT Arena and his partner Ricochet also receives many cheers on his NXT debut, Ricochet is an immediate Fan Favourite with the NXT Universe. Roderick Strong is a “Bad Ass” on his NXT debut tonight, hitting both Ricochet and Gargano with devastating backbreakers throughout the match. Eventually communication errors cost Strong and Evan Bourne the victory as the “Every-Man” Evan Bourne tags himself into the match only to get it with a superkick by Gargano before Gargano takes out Strong on the outside allowing Ricochet to hit the 630 Splash on Evan Bourne to get the win for his team on his NXT debut. Match Rating: B- Final Show Rating: C+ Prediction League Table:

Tuesday, Week 4, December, 2014 The following contests are confirmed to take place at tonight’s NXT Something to Prove: Ricochet and Johnny Gargano versus Roderick Strong and Evan Bourne The main event of tonight’s NXT Something to Prove special event was announced earlier today on Twitter by the NXT General Manager Jim Cornette and will see a dream tag team match as Ricochet will make his long awaited NXT debut, teaming up with Johnny Gargano to take on the team of Roderick Strong and Evan Bourne. Ricochet is sure to be a Fan Favourite with the NXT Universe inside the NXT Arena due to his high-flying antics and has competed all over the world including Japan. Ricochet’s partner tonight, Johnny Gargano, is certainly “Cocky” but can back it up in the ring and will be looking to pick up the all-important victory tonight to end the year on a high after failing to win the NXT North American Championship at NXT Coming Storm last month. Roderick Strong is a Bad Ass that has competed all over the world and will also be making his NXT debut tonight teaming with Evan Bourne, who considers himself an “Every-Man”, a man of the people who is yet to pick up his first victory in NXT following making his NXT debut in October after years competing in front of the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW. NXT Championship: Curtis Axel © vs. NXT North American Champion Ezekiel Jackson vs. Kyle O’Reilly Curtis Axel will put his NXT Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match tonight against both the NXT North American Champion Ezekiel Jackson and Kyle O’Reilly. Curtis Axel is currently in his eighth month at NXT Champion since winning the title from Justin Gabriel back in April at NXT Falling Apart. Since then Curtis Axel has made five successful title defences including most recently beating Kyle O’Reilly and Eric Young in a Triple Threat match at NXT Reckless Abandon back in October. NXT Tag Team Championships: Team Brilliance (Charlotte and Eve) © vs. Audrey Marie and Alicia Fox The NXT Tag Team Championships will be on the line tonight as the team of Charlotte Flair and Eve Torres, known to the NXT Universe inside the NXT Arena as Team Brilliance, will put their titles on the line against the pairing of Audrey Marie and Alicia Fox. Team Brilliance became the first ever NXT Tag Team Champions back in September of 2013 by defeating Hailey Hatred and Christina Von Eerie. Since then Team Brilliance have made five successful title defences in their fifteen month long title reign including most recently beating Shayna Baszler and Alicia at last month’s NXT Coming Storm. Sin Cara versus Camacho versus Steven Walters versus Boone Sparrow A Fatal Four-Way match tonight will see the high-flying and masked “Gangsta” of NXT Sin Cara battle Steven Walters, Camacho and Boone Sparrow, a recent graduate of the WWE Performance Center who made his NXT debut back in October and is yet to pick up his first victory. Steven Walters made his NXT debut back in June and already has four victories to his name. Tyler Bate versus Samuel Stewart The first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion, “True Born” Tyler Bate, will once again compete in front of the NXT Universe inside what is sure to be a sold out NXT Arena tonight as the Englishman will take on Samuel Stewart, who made his NXT debut back in October with a victory over Boone Sparrow and teamed with Dustin Rayz to defeat Alesteir Black and Trent Seven last month at NXT Coming Storm. Aksana versus Emma Finally, women’s division action tonight will see the Lithuanian Aksana take on the Australian Emma in an international showcase. Aksana debuted as a “Diva” on Friday Night SmackDown several years ago and has been competing in NXT since August whereas Emma will tonight make her first appearance in NXT since a spell competing in front of the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW. Quick Picks: Ricochet and Johnny Gargano versus Roderick Strong and Evan Bourne NXT Championship: Curtis Axel © vs. NXT North American Champion Ezekiel Jackson vs. Kyle O’Reilly NXT Tag Team Championships: Team Brilliance (Charlotte and Eve) © vs. Audrey Marie and Alicia Fox Sin Cara versus Camacho versus Steven Walters versus Boone Sparrow Tyler Bate versus Samuel Stewart Aksana versus Emma (Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month.)

Monday, Week 4, December, 2014 http://www.targetcenter.com/assets/img/WWE_RAW_LIVE_DEC_2014_SPOTLIGHT-NEW.jpg WWE Monday Night RAW (Live from Westchester County Center (NY) 5,000 in Attendance) Pre-Show: Nikki Bella versus Nia Jax In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Nikki Bella defeated Nia Jax in 18:16 by pinfall with a Twin Magic. Unfortunately a hot crowd was against Nia Jax, chanting for her not to come back. Despite having made her debut on Monday Night RAW already, it would appear that the WWE Universe feel that Nia Jax is not ready for in-ring competition. Nevertheless, Nikki Bella picks up the all-important victory here after switching places with her twin sister Brie Bella behind the referee’s back which allowed Brie to roll up a tired Nia Jax to get the win. Match Rating: E Pre-Show: Santino Marella and Zack Ryder versus Resurrection (Matt Hardy and Luke Gallows) In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, Resurrection defeated Team CoBro in 18:29 when Matt Hardy defeated Santino Marella by pinfall with a Twist of Fate. The Monday Night RAW commentary team of Michael Cole, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler took up their positions at ringside prior to this tag team match that saw Matt Hardy pin Santino Marella following a Twist of Fate to pick up the victory for his team. Match Rating: C- Pre-Show: Brodus Clay versus Jack Swagger In a match that had some good action and average heat, Jack Swagger defeated Brodus Clay in 17:31 by pinfall with a Red, White and Blue Thunder Bomb. Brodus Clay was visibly tiring towards the end of this match which led to Swagger getting the win here. Match Rating: C- Tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW kicks off with the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar making his way to the ring flanked by his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn. Brock receives a great reception from the WWE Universe in attendance as Billy Gunn retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Billy Gunn says that last night at the TLC Pay-Per-View Brock Lesnar succeeded in his toughest test yet as he defeated three Shield members in Roman Reigns, William Regal and Braun Strowman in the evening’s Tables, Ladders and Chairs main event after retrieving the Universal Championship hanging high above the ring. Billy Gunn says that the sight of Brock Lesnar standing on a ladder with his title last night is a metaphor for the entire WWE Universe as Brock Lesnar stands well above the rest of the roster. Billy Gunn says that his client Brock Lesnar is happy that the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox has put him in tonight’s non-title main event against Braun Strowman as he will get another opportunity to take out Braun Strowman, who may well have the Undertaker on his mind after the Undertaker threatened Strowman via a spooky video message last night. Derrick Bateman then makes his way to the entrance-way with a microphone of his own in hand and announces that at the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View next month his partner Andrade “Cien” Almas will challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. Rating: D Non-Title: WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey versus Rosa Mendes In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Ronda Rousey defeated Rosa Mendes in 6:46 by pinfall. Unfortunately a pretty vocal crowd didn’t seem particularly thrilled with seeing Ronda Rousey wrestle; it would appear that some members of the WWE Universe are unhappy at how quickly Ronda Rousey has become Women’s Champion in the WWE. Match Rating: D+ Following her victory Ronda Rousey celebrates with the newly designed WWE RAW Women’s Championship in the ring until Sasha Banks rushes to the ring to attack Ronda Rousey which leads to Alexa Bliss, the former Champion, coming to the ring to make the save. Rating: E+ WWE RAW Tag Team Championships: Dogs of War © versus AOP versus Gable & Glorious In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Gable & Glorious defeated Dogs of War and Authors of Pain in 8:05; the order of elimination was Authors of Pain first, and then Dogs of War. Gable & Glorious win the WWE RAW Tag Team titles. Michael Hayes accompanied the team of the Authors of Pain, Akam Dhinsa and Rezar Selmani, to the ring for this Triple Threat Elimination Tag Team match for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships. However, despite their new manager Michael Hayes being at ringside, the AOP were the first team eliminated after Drew McIntyre pinned Akam Dhinsa following the Claymore Kick. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable would then become the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions after Chad Gable took out Ziggler on the apron which allowed Bobby Roode to hit the Glorious DDT on Drew McIntyre. Match Rating: D+ As Chad Gable and Bobby Roode celebrate their title win in front of the WWE Universe, Mick Foley comes to the entrance-way head banging to their theme music and looking like a complete Metalhead, clearly enjoying the music a little too much. Rating: B We cut backstage to find Zeb Colter looking at the monitor and watching Roode and Gable celebrate their title win until Zeb Colter turns to the camera and says that he has cancelled his association with Jack Swagger and from now on is a Watcher, constantly looking out for his next client who he will lead to the top. Rating: D- WWE Intercontinental Championship: Seth Rollins © versus Dean Ambrose In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins in 11:21 by pinfall with a Midnight Special. Dean Ambrose wins the WWE Intercontinental title. Michael Cole says that Seth Rollins must be devastated after Dean Ambrose turned on him last night whilst Jerry “The King” Lawler theorizes that this must have been the plan of Dean Ambrose all along. Match Rating: B- We cut backstage to find the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar going through tactics with his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn before Braun Strowman storms into the room and suggests that the two of them don’t need to wait until tonight’s non-title main event to settle their problems. Rating: C- As Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman are about to go to battle in the backstage area, Strowman’s fellow Shield members Roman Reigns and William Regal rush to the scene and pull Strowman away. Billy Gunn also tries to restrain Brock Lesnar. William Regal tells Lesnar that he will continue to face the wrath of the Shield as Regal announces that Strowman, Reigns and Regal will all be in the Royal Rumble match and that one of them will face Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania for the WWE Universal Championship. Rating: D+ We cut to the office of the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox where Triple H is giving Maddox a stern talking to for Maddox bullying AJ Lee last week. Triple H announces that for the first time ever there will be a women’s Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View and Triple H announces AJ Lee as the first participant announced for the match, with twenty-nine more women to be announced in the coming weeks on both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown. Rating: D+ Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Sugar Dunkerton In an extremely poor match, Pete Dunne defeated Sugar Dunkerton in 5:34 by pinfall with a Bitter End. The Monday Night RAW commentary team announce that Pete Dunne will be taking part in the Royal Rumble match next month. Match Rating: E+ We cut backstage to find the new WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose looking into a camera, and Ambrose says that now that he has taken the Intercontinental Championship from Seth Rollins, Ambrose will join his real allies the Shield in the Royal Rumble match next month. Rating: C- We cut to another area to find Chad Gable and Bobby Roode celebrating with their newly won WWE RAW Tag Team Championships. Bobby Roode thanks Chad Gable for this opportunity and feels that together they can hold the titles for a very long time, because they are glorious! Rating: D- Bray Wyatt versus Kane In a match that had some good action and average heat, Bray Wyatt defeated Kane in 8:19 by pinfall with a Standing Senton Splash. The Monday Night RAW commentary team note that this was a huge victory for the former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt. The commentary team also announce that both Wyatt and Kane will be competing in the Royal Rumble match. Match Rating: C- We cut backstage to find the former Divas Champion Alexa Bliss and her friend Road Dogg approaching the WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. Road Dogg says that Alexa Bliss has Rousey’s back but asks for a title rematch at some point. Ronda Rousey nods. Rating: D Road Dogg, his protégé Alexa Bliss and the WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey all shake hands before Sasha Banks walks by and has back-up in the form of Beth Phoenix, who says that she has competed in the men’s Royal Rumble match before and is also officially announcing herself into the women’s Royal Rumble match. Rating: E+ Following a commercial break we cut to another backstage area to find Chad Gable looking into a camera whilst holding one of the RAW Tag Team Championships. Chad Gable says that earlier tonight he and Bobby Roode defeated Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to become the new RAW Tag Team Champions and that Gable has more good news as Gable and Roode will take part in the Royal Rumble match. Rating: E Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Braun Strowman In a match that had some good action and average heat, Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman in 12:58 by pinfall with an F-5. Finlay accompanied his client Braun Strowman to ringside and offered vocal instructions throughout the match but it was Lesnar who won tonight’s main event. Match Rating: C Post-Show: Uncle Elgin versus Matt Morgan In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Uncle Elgin defeated Matt Morgan in 13:04 by submission with a Crossface. The Monday Night RAW commentary team remained at ringside to watch this one. Match Rating: D- Post-Show: Sami Zayn versus Tensai In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Sami Zayn defeated Tensai in 13:01 by pinfall with a Brainbuster.

Monday, Week 4, December, 2014 http://www.targetcenter.com/assets/img/WWE_RAW_LIVE_DEC_2014_SPOTLIGHT-NEW.jpg The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW: Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Braun Strowman The main event of tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox and will see the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar take on the Shield’s Braun Strowman in non-title action. Last night at the TLC Pay-Per-View the “Beast” Brock Lesnar defeated three Shield members in Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns and William Regal in the evening’s Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match when Brock Lesnar retrieved the Universal Championship hanging high above the ring to retain his title. An all-important victory for Braun Strowman tonight, albeit in non-title competition, could well lead to Strowman getting a future title opportunity in the future. Brock Lesnar has taken the spirit of the British Bulldog and the in-ring mentorship of Billy Gunn and dominated 2014 and the WWE Universe has only seen Lesnar pinned once since becoming the Universal Champion back in June, that pinfall defeat was at the hands of Roman Reigns in a Traditional Survivor Series Eliminated match last month. WWE RAW Tag Team Championships: Dogs of War © versus AOP versus Gable & Glorious Last week at the TLC Pay-Per-View the Dogs of War pairing of Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre became the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions for the second time after winning the Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Chairs match also featuring the former Champions Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, the Authors of Pain of Akam and Rezar as well as the One Percenters Derrick Bateman and Andrade “Cien” Almas. Tonight on Monday Night RAW Ziggler and McIntyre will put their titles on the line in a Triple Threat tag team match against the AOP as well as the new team of Chad Gable and Bobby Roode who were victorious in their debut match as a team last night against Danny Burch and Troy McClain. WWE Intercontinental Championship: Seth Rollins © versus Dean Ambrose Dean Ambrose betrayed Seth Rollins last night at the TLC Pay-Per-View in an act that shocked the WWE Universe when Ambrose hit Rollins in the back with a steel chair which led to Rollins and Ambrose losing their WWE RAW Tag Team Championships. Tonight on Monday Night RAW Seth Rollins will put his WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line against his former friend Ambrose. Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Sugar Dunkerton Pete Dunne defeated Uncle Elgin last night at the TLC Pay-Per-View to successfully retain his WWE United Kingdom Championship. Tonight on Monday Night RAW Pete Dunne will take on Sugar Dunkerton in non-title action. Bray Wyatt versus Kane Two former World Champions will go head to head tonight on Monday Night RAW as Bray Wyatt will take on the masked monster known as Kane. Bray Wyatt has been claiming to have a “Braveheart” on social media as of late and will have to muster that courage in order to defeat Kane. Non-Title: WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey versus Rosa Mendes Last night at the TLC Pay-Per-View Ronda Rousey became the new WWE Divas Champion in her first ever match as she beat both Sasha Banks as well as former Divas Champion Alexa Bliss in a Triple Threat match. As promised, Ronda Rousey has officially renamed the title the WWE RAW Women’s Championship and tonight Rousey will make her Monday Night RAW in-ring debut as she will take on Rosa Mendes in non-title action. Quick Picks: Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Braun Strowman WWE RAW Tag Team Championships: Dogs of War © versus AOP versus Gable & Glorious WWE Intercontinental Championship: Seth Rollins © versus Dean Ambrose Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Sugar Dunkerton Bray Wyatt versus Kane Non-Title: WWE RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey versus Rosa Mendes (Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month.)

Sunday, Week 3, December, 2014 WWE TLC Pay-Per-View (Live from Coliseum Ruben Rodriguez (PR), 13,000 in Attendance) Pre-Show: Hailey Hatred versus Rosa Mendes In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Hailey Hatred defeated Rosa Mendes in 18:22 by submission with a Cattle Mutilation. Unfortunately this match needed to be a lot shorter given who was involved with the WWE Universe in attendance not really caring about either woman. Nevertheless Hailey Hatred picks up the all-important victory here after forcing Rosa Mendes to tap out. Match Rating: E- Pre-Show: Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston versus The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper & Rowan) In a match that had some good action and average heat, Big E & Kofi defeated The Bludgeon Brothers in 18:14 when Kofi Kingston defeated Erick Rowan by pinfall with a Big Ending. The TLC commentary team of Michael Cole, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler provide commentary for this match which is broadcast live on WWE.com. The team of Big E and Kofi get the win here after Big E hits Rowan with a Big Ending before taking out Luke Harper on the apron allowing Kofi to pin Rowan. Match Rating: C- Pre-Show: Chris Jericho versus David Otunga In a match that had some good action and average heat, Chris Jericho defeated David Otunga in 17:47 by pinfall with a Code Breaker. Chris Jericho and David Otunga just don’t click at all as opponents, and it showed in their performances here in another match broadcast live on WWE.com. Match Rating: D+ WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships: Tables Match: The Bar © versus The Uso’s In a match that had some good action and average heat, The Bar defeated The Uso's in a Tables match in 15:25; Jimmy Uso was eliminated first, and then Jey Uso.

During the match we also had Dean Ambrose turn on Rollins. Dogs of War win the WWE RAW Tag Team titles. Terry Taylor accompanied the Authors of Pain pairing of Akam Dhinsa and Rezar Selmani to the ring for this Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Chairs match. The WWE Universe were shocked to see Dean Ambrose turn his back on his partner Seth Rollins towards the end of the match with Ambrose hitting Rollins in the back with a steel chair. Drew McIntyre an Dolph Ziggler would then hit a Zig Zag Claymore Combination on Derrick Bateman to once again win the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships. Match Rating: D- (Drew McIntyre thinks he can perform better if used in matches that suit his skills and that putting him in a Hardcore based match does not play to his strengths.) (Dolph Ziggler thinks he can perform better if used in matches that suit his skills and that putting him in a Hardcore based match does not play to his strengths.) (Seth Rollins thinks he can perform better if used in matches that suit his skills and that putting him in a Hardcore based match does not play to his strengths.)

(Rezar Selmani thinks that he can perform better if used in matches that suit his skills and that putting him in a Hardcore based match does not play to his strengths.) We cut backstage to find Matt Striker standing by for an interview with Andy Leavine ahead of tonight’s US Championship match. Andy Leavine says that he is ready for Randy Orton, Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens and Shinsuke Nakamura tonight because he has a secret weapon, the man he has been training with for the past few weeks. Goldberg then enters the frame and says it’s been a pleasure working with Leavine and looks forward to seeing him win the US title tonight. Rating: C US Title: Randy Orton © vs. Mr. MITB Kevin Owens vs. Andy Leavine vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Nakamura In a match that had some good action and average heat, Randy Orton defeated Andy Leavine, Kevin Owens, Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura in 12:54 when Randy Orton defeated Andy Leavine by pinfall with a Running Punt to the Head. Randy Orton makes defence number 3 of his WWE United States title. Jerry “the King” Lawler seems extremely concerned about the condition of Andy Leavine following the punt to the head and Michael Cole notes that Andy Leavine’s impressive run may have come to a permanent halt tonight at the hands of Randy Orton as Orton retains the US Championship. Match Rating: D+ We cut backstage to find Josh Mathews standing by for an interview with Mick Foley, and Josh asks Foley who he thinks will win tonight’s TLC Fatal Four-Way Universal Championship match. Foley says that with Roman Reigns, William Regal and Braun Strowman all working together, it seems impossible that Lesnar will leave tonight still the Universal Champion. Rating: C WWE Divas Championship: Alexa Bliss © versus Ronda Rousey versus Sasha Banks In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Ronda Rousey defeated Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks in 13:07 when Ronda Rousey defeated Sasha Banks by submission. Ronda Rousey wins the WWE Divas title. Road Dogg accompanied his client Alexa Bliss to ringside but Alexa’s title reign came to an end after Ronda Rousey made Sasha Banks tap out as Rousey became the new WWE Divas Champion, a title she has promised to rename. Match Rating: D We cut backstage to find Joey Styles and Jo Jo discussing the impressive performance of Ronda Rousey as he becomes the Divas Champion in her first ever match. Joey Styles and Jo Jo contemplate whether AJ Styles or Becky Lynch may lose their titles tonight to Christian and Carmella respectively. Rating: D WWE Women’s Championship: Becky Lynch © versus Carmella In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Becky Lynch defeated Carmella in 12:39 by pinfall with a Hard Knox. Becky Lynch makes defence number 1 of her WWE Women's title. The commentary team all agree that this was an impressive performance by Becky Lynch tonight. Match Rating: E+ The lights go out in the arena and the Undertaker appears on the big screen, much to the delight of the WWE Universe in attendance. The Undertaker says that he has still not forgotten the sins of Braun Strowman and that they must be repaid at some point. Rating: C Bobby Roode and Chad Gable (Gable and Glorious) versus Danny Burch and Troy McClain In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Gable & Glorious defeated Burch & McClain in 7:36 when Bobby Roode defeated Troy McClain by submission with a Fujiwara Armbar. Michael Cole praises a great performance from Bobby Roode and Chad Gable in their first ever match teaming together and suggests that they may be in line for a shot at the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships whilst Jerry “The King” Lawler argues that it’s still early days. Match Rating: D We cut backstage to find Scott Stanford standing by for an interview with Paul Heyman and Stanford asks Heyman if his Shield creation can finally take the WWE Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar tonight when Big Show walks past and throttles Scott Stanford in the throat. Heyman looks shocked as Kevin Nash, Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger all try to remove the hand of Big Show from Stanford’s throat. They finally succeed and drag Big Show away whilst referee Rudy Charles comes to check on Stanford’s condition. Rating: D WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Buddy Murphy © versus Cedric Alexander versus Rey Mysterio In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Buddy Murphy defeated Cedric Alexander and Rey Mysterio in 13:21 when Buddy Murphy defeated Cedric Alexander by pinfall with a Murphy's Law. Buddy Murphy makes defence number 1 of his WWE Cruiserweight title. The commentary team all note that the WWE Universe seem shocked that Buddy Murphy was able to retain his title tonight. Match Rating: D+ We cut backstage to find Jay Briscoe watching highlights of the previous match when Konnor walks by, sees Jay Briscoe and throws him head first into a wall. Konnor says that Jay Briscoe should never have come here, and welcomes Briscoe to the “wasteland”. Rating: E+ Asuka versus Paige In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Asuka defeated Paige in 7:39 by pinfall with a Billiken. Asuka and Paige have pretty good chemistry as opponents and it lifted the match.

Billy Gunn accompanied Brock Lesnar for the ring tonight as Brock Lesnar fought off all the odds to retrieve the Universal Championship and retain his title.

(Roman Reigns also feels that he can perform better if used in matches that suit his skills and that putting him in a High Spots based match does not play to his strengths.)

Sunday, Week 3, December, 2014 The following contests are confirmed to take place at tonight’s WWE TLC Pay-Per-View: Universal Title: TLC Match: Brock Lesnar © vs. Roman Reigns vs. William Regal vs. Braun Strowman The main event of tonight’s WWE TLC Pay-Per-View will see the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar put his title on the line in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against three members of the Shield in Roman Reigns, William Regal and Braun Strowman. The only way to win this match will be to climb a ladder and retrieve the WWE Universal Championship that will be hanging up above the ring. Tables, ladders and chairs can all legally be used as weapons in this match. Brock Lesnar has been the WWE Universal Champion since June when he defeated in the inaugural Universal Champion Kevin Owens on Monday Night RAW and since then has gone on to make five successful title defences. Even Brock Lesnar’s in-ring mentor Billy Gunn has admitted to the WWE Universe recently that this will be Brock’ toughest title defence thus far as Brock will have to take out all three members of the Shield to pick up the all-important victory and leave with the Universal Championship. WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Ladder Match: AJ Styles © versus Christian The WWE World Heavyweight Championship will also be held above the ring in a Ladder match tonight as AJ Styles will put his title on the line against Christian. AJ Styles became the WWE Champion for the first time in his career back in October when he defeated the former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal in a Hell in a Cell match and since then the “Franchise Player” of Friday Night SmackDown AJ Styles has made two successful title defences, including a victory over Bobby Roode in the main event of Friday Night SmackDown two nights ago. RAW Tag Titles: Chairs: IC Champ Rollins & Ambrose © vs. Dogs of War vs. AOP vs. One Percenters The WWE RAW Tag Team Championships will be on the line tonight in the first ever Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Chairs match in which steel chairs are legal to be used as weapons. The WWE RAW Tag Team Champions of the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and his partner Dean Ambrose will defend the titles against the Dogs of War pairing of Dolph ZIggler and Drew McIntyre, the Authors of Pain consisting of Akam Dhinsa and Rezar Selmani as well as the team of Derrick Bateman and Andrade “Cien” Almas, known to the WWE Universe as the One Percenters. Rollins and Ambrose became the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions for the first time as a team last month on Monday Night RAW when they defeated the former RAW Tag Team Champions Dogs of War in a Triple Threat tag team match also involving the Shield pairing of Roman Reigns and William Regal. Rollins and Ambrose have made three successful title defences since winning the titles. WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships: Tables Match: The Bar © versus The Uso’s The WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships will be on the line in a Tables match tonight as the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro, known to the WWE Universe as “The Bar”, will put their titles on the line against the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions the Uso’s. The only way to win this match is to put both of your opponents through tables, and once a Superstar is put through a table they are eliminated from the match. US Title: Randy Orton © vs. Mr. MITB Kevin Owens vs. Andy Leavine vs. Jinder Mahal vs. Nakamura The WWE United States Championship will be on the line tonight in a Fatal Five-Way match as Randy Orton will put his title on the line against Friday Night SmackDown’s Money in the Bank briefcase holder Kevin Owens, the former Tough Enough winner Andy Leavine, former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal as well as the wildcard from Japan Shinsuke Nakamura. Randy Orton won the United States Championship for the first time in his career back in October at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View and has since then made two successful title defences. WWE United Kingdom Championship: Pete Dunne © versus Uncle Elgin Pete Dunne will put his WWE United Kingdom Championship on the line tonight against Uncle Elgin, who isn’t as “Unlucky” as he used to be and has declared that he will be the first non-Englishman to win the UK title tonight. WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Buddy Murphy © versus Cedric Alexander versus Rey Mysterio The WWE Cruiserweight Championship will be on the line in a Triple Threat match tonight as Buddy Murphy will defend his title against two former WWE Cruiserweight Champions in Cedric Alexander and the masked Rey Mysterio. Buddy Murphy won the Cruiserweight Championship from Cedric Alexander last month on 205 Live and tonight will be his first title defence. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable (Gable and Glorious) versus Danny Burch and Troy McClain This past week on 205 Live Chad Gable was pinned by Buddy Murphy in the evening’s main event which meant that his 205 Live contract was terminated. The next night on Friday Night SmackDown Bobby Roode failed in his attempt win the WWE Championship from AJ Styles in the main event which meant that Roode must leave SmackDown. The Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox tweeted earlier today that he has signed both Roode and Gable to RAW and that they will compete as a tag team under the name “Gable and Glorious”. Roode and Gable will team for the first time tonight against the team of Danny Burch and Troy McClain. WWE Divas Championship: Alexa Bliss © versus Ronda Rousey versus Sasha Banks Two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW Ronda Rousey shocked the WWE Universe by appearing, saving Alexa Bliss from a beat down by Sasha Banks. Later that night Triple H announced that Ronda Rousey has signed a WWE contract and tonight will join Sasha Banks in challenging Ronda Rousey for the WWE Divas Championship. Rousey has declared that if she wins the title tonight she will rename it the RAW Women’s Championship. WWE Women’s Championship: Becky Lynch © versus Carmella Becky Lynch defeated Carmella last month on Friday Night SmackDown to become the new WWE Women’s Champion for the first time in her career, ending the reign of Carmella after just one week. Tonight Carmella will receive her rematch against Becky with the Women’s Championship on the line. Asuka versus Paige Paige was informed by Renee Young this past week on Friday Night SmackDown that she will be taking on the Japanese Asuka tonight to which Paige turned violent by pushing poor Renee Young against a wall. Is Paige ready for Asuka tonight?

Unfortunately this match needed to be a lot shorter given who was involved with the WWE Universe in attendance not interested in Maxine at all despite her having made several appearances on Friday Night SmackDown over the past year.

Match Rating: C Pre-Show: Big Show versus Percy Watson In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Big Show defeated Percy Watson in 18:05 by pinfall with a Knock Out Punch. Big Show was visibly tiring towards the end of this match but was still able to knock out Percy Watson before pinning Percy to get the victory here. Match Rating: C (Ricky Steamboat would seriously consider either turning Big Show or trying a new gimmick as he has become a stale character and needs a shake-up.) Tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown kicks off with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles making his way to the ring. AJ receives a great reception from the WWE Universe in attendance as he retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. AJ Styles says that since becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion back in October he has quickly become the Franchise Player here on SmackDown and that last week in the main event of SmackDown he was also a fighting WWE Champion as he successfully retained his title against Tye Dillinger. AJ says that he will put his WWE Championship on the line again tonight against a man he knows very well, Bobby Roode. AJ Styles says that he doesn’t mind the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie making AJ put his title on the line again tonight as AJ Styles will prove that he is a worthy WWE Champion before going on to defend the title against Christian this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View. Bobby Roode then comes to the ring with a microphone of his own and says that since they both made their WWE debut in September AJ Styles has become the Franchise Player of SmackDown whereas despite a strong start Bobby Roode has become an afterthought. Bobby Roode says that if he is unable to beat AJ Styles tonight then he will leave Friday Night SmackDown.

Becky Lynch puts on a great performance here and picks up the win for her team after pinning Nicole Matthews following the Hard Knox, building momentum heading into the TLC Pay-Per-View this Sunday. Match Rating: E+ Following her victory Becky Lynch celebrates with her partners Kelly Kelly and Naomi in front of the WWE Universe before Kelly and Naomi leave Becky in the ring along to soak up the adoration of the WWE Universe in attendance. Carmella then rushes to the ring and looks to attack Becky from behind until Becky sees Carmella coming and grabs Carmella by the hair before throwing her out of the ring. Rating: E Non-Title: WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar versus Tyler Breeze & Knuckles Madsen In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, The Bar defeated Team Gorgeous in 6:58 when Antonio Cesaro defeated Tyler Breeze by pinfall with a Brogue Kick. British legend Robbie Brookside accompanied his clients Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro, known to the WWE Universe as the Bar, to ringside for this tag team match which saw Sheamus hit Breeze with the Brogue Kick before taking out Knuckles Madsen on the apron which allowed Cesaro to pin Breeze to pick up the win for the SmackDown Tag Team Champions. Match Rating: D+ Following their victory the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro celebrate in with their manager Robbie Brookside in front of the WWE Universe until the Uso’s make their way to the entrance-way.

Match Rating: C+ Following his victory the WWE United States Champion Randy Orton celebrates in the ring before Jinder Mahal makes his way to the entrance-way with a microphone in hand. Jinder Mahal says that Orton may have beaten a loser like Yoshi Tatsu tonight but that this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View Orton won’t have a chance of retaining his title when he defends in a Fatal Five-Way match against Jinder, Kevin Owens, Andy Leavine and Shinsuke Nakamura. Rating: E+ Braden Walker versus Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Kevin Owens defeated Braden Walker in 6:39 by pinfall with a Package Piledriver. Bret “The Hitman” Hart accompanied Braden Walker to ringside, much to the delight of the WWE Universe in attendance. Match Rating: C- A video package airs highlighting the young career of Andy Leavine from his Tough Enough victory on 2011 to his recent impressive performances in US Championship opportunities last month. Andy Leavine will be in action next on Friday Night SmackDown. Rating: F+ Andy Leavine versus Drake Younger In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Andy Leavine defeated Drake Younger in 6:23 by pinfall with a Lariat. Unfortunately Andy Leavine and Drake Younger don’t seem to click as opponents and it made for an awkward bout tonight. Match Rating: E+ We cut backstage to find the WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles preparing for tonight’s main event when he is approached from behind by Christian, who looks to hit AJ with a ladder before AJ turns around just in time to see Christian who drops the ladder before scowling and fleeing the area. Rating: D+ We cut to another backstage area to find Renee Young standing by for an interview with Paige, and Renee Young informs Paige that she will go one on one with Asuka this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View. Paige pushes Renee Young against the wall and says that Asuka will learn this Sunday that Paige is dangerous, before Paige pushes Renee Young to the ground and walks away. Rating: F WWE World Heavyweight Championship: AJ Styles © versus Bobby Roode In a match that had some good action and a good crowd, AJ Styles defeated Bobby Roode in 17:36 by pinfall with a Styles Clash. AJ Styles makes defence number 2 of his WWE World Heavyweight title. The WWE Universe were fully behind AJ Styles tonight as he retained his title, which means that Bobby Roode’s career on Friday Night SmackDown is over. Match Rating: B- Post-Show: Trent Barreta versus Samoa Joe In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Samoa Joe defeated Trent Barreta in 12:38 by submission with a Coquina Clutch.

Friday, Week 3, December, 2014 http://www.daddyshangout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Smackdown-Logo.jpg The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown: WWE World Heavyweight Championship: AJ Styles © versus Bobby Roode The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie and will see the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line for the second week in a row as AJ Styles will defend the title against former WWE United States Champion Bobby Roode. Last week on SmackDown following days of complaining about not getting enough opportunities on social media Tye Dillinger was given a shot at the WWE Championship, with AJ Styles beating Dillinger in the main event to make his first successful title defence in last week’s main event. For the past few days Bobby Roode has also been complaining about a lack of opportunities as of late which has led to Eva Marie giving Roode a shot at the WWE Championship tonight. The winner of tonight’s main event will go on to defend the title in a Ladder match against Christian this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View. Non-Title: WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar versus Tyler Breeze & Knuckles Madsen Tag team action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown will see the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro, known to the WWE Universe as “The Bar” in non-title competition against the “Team Gorgeous” pairing of Tyler Breeze and Knuckles Madsen. This Sunday the TLC Pay-Per-View the Bar will put the SmackDown Tag Team Championships on the line against former Champions the Uso’s in a Tag Team Tables match. An all-important victory for Breeze and Madsen tonight could well lead to them being given a future title opportunity. Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Randy Orton versus Yoshi Tatsu The WWE United States Champion Randy Orton will be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as he will take on Yoshi Tatsu in a non-title match. Orton has come across as a bit of a “Racist” on social media as of late and shouldn’t take the Japanese Yoshi Tatsu for granted tonight. Braden Walker versus Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens The holder of the Friday Night SmackDown Money in the Bank briefcase, Kevin Owens, will be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as he will take on Braden Walker. Kevin Owens has been a Bad Ass as of late and is undefeated in singles competition since winning the Money in the Bank briefcase earlier in the year. Andy Leavine versus Drake Younger The winner of 2011’s Tough Enough, Andy Leavine has impressed many members of the WWE Universe with his performances as of late and has become a bit of a Fan Favourite. Tonight on Friday Night SmackDown Leavine will be in action against Drake Younger. Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, Kelly Kelly & Naomi versus Nicole Matthews, Portia Perez & Layla Last but certainly not least, six-Women tag team action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown will see the WWE Women’s Champion Becky Lynch teaming up with Kelly Kelly and Naomi to take on the trio of Nicole Matthews, Portia Perez and former WWE Women’s and WWE Divas Champion Layla. This Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View Becky Lynch will put her WWE Women’s Championship on the line against Carmella, the former Women’s Champion who Becky Lynch beat last month on SmackDown to win the title for the very first time in her career, ending the reign of Carmella after just one week after Carmella beat Natalya to win the title the week before. Quick Picks: WWE World Heavyweight Championship: AJ Styles © versus Bobby Roode Non-Title: WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar versus Tyler Breeze & Knuckles Madsen Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Randy Orton versus Yoshi Tatsu Braden Walker versus Friday Night SmackDown’s Mr. Money in the Bank Kevin Owens Andy Leavine versus Drake Younger Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, Kelly Kelly & Naomi versus Nicole Matthews, Portia Perez & Layla (Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month.)

Thursday, Week 3, December, 2014 WWE 205 Live (Live from Amarillo CC Grand Plaza (TX), 1,061 in Attendance) Pre-Show: Cedric Alexander versus A.R. Fox In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Cedric Alexander defeated A.R. Fox in 18:07 by pinfall with an Atomic Wedgie Bomb. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe in attendance not really knowing anything about A.R. Fox. Nevertheless, the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander picked up the all-important victory here after hitting A.R. Fox with his Atomic Wedgie Bomb finishing maneuver, building momentum heading into the TLC Pay-Per-View this Sunday where Cedric Alexander will join Rey Mysterio in challenging Buddy Murphy for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship in a Triple Threat match. Match Rating: D- Pre-Show: TJ Perkins versus Adrian Neville In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, TJ Perkins defeated Adrian Neville in 17:41 by pinfall with a Running Single Leg High Knee Strike. Ricardo Rodriguez acted as the personal ring announcer for his client, the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville. Rodriguez also acted as a cheerleader for Neville throughout the match but it was TJ Perkins who got the win here after hitting Adrian Neville with a Running Single Leg High Knee Strike. Match Rating: D Tonight’s episode of WWE 205 Live kicks off with the 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, former Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman and 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield welcoming the television audience to the show. JBL announces that tonight’s main event tag team match will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy teaming up with Enzo Amore to take on the team of Chad Gable and Rich Swann. The WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy then makes his way to the ring and retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Buddy Murphy receives a tirade of boos from the WWE Universe in attendance with many also holding their nose to symbolize the stench of Buddy Murphy, who looks and smells like a “Bum” again tonight. The Australian Buddy Murphy enters the ring and says that he doesn’t care what the WWE Universe think about him because he is the WWE Cruiserweight Champion and will retain his title this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View in a Triple Threat match against both Cedric Alexander as well as the masked coward known as Rey Mysterio, who once again is scared to show his face on 205 Live. Buddy Murphy then turns his attention to tonight’s tag team match and suggests that as he has beaten both Chad Gable and Rich Swann in singles non-title main event matches for the past few weeks, the stakes should be raised tonight. Buddy Murphy suggests that if he is able to pin ether Rich Swann or Chad Gable tonight, then whoever gets pinned should be terminated from 205 Live. Cedric Alexander then comes to the ring with a microphone of his own and says that he is standing this close to Buddy Murphy despite the stench emanating from Murphy to tell him that he will win back his WWE Cruiserweight Championship this Sunday. Buddy Murphy then scowls before leaving the ring and heading to the back as 205 Live heads to its first commercial break of the evening. Rating: E Chris Jericho versus Simon Gotch In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Chris Jericho defeated Simon Gotch in 6:19 by pinfall with a Code Breaker. Simon Gotch seemed off his game tonight which led to the veteran Chris Jericho picking up the win following a Code Breaker. Match Rating: C Following another commercial break we cut backstage to find Chad Gable looking into a camera with a serious look on his face. Chad Gable says that on behalf of his tag team partner Rich Swann tonight, he accepts the challenge laid out by the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy for tonight’s tag team main event. Chad Gable reiterates that if Buddy Murphy is able to pin or submit either Chad Gable or Rich Swann tonight then whoever is pinned or made to submit will have their 205 Live contract terminated, and Chad Gable says that the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield can go ahead and make that official. Chad Gable says that the WWE Universe will see the Chad Gable tonight that competed for the United States of America in the 2012 Olympics in London and then went on to learn the Lucha Libre style in Mexico, and that there is no way that Chad Gable is losing his 205 Live roster spot tonight after working so hard for it. Chad Gable says that both Buddy Murphy and his partner Enzo Amore should get ready because Chad Gable is Ready, Willing and Gable. Rating: F+ Jay Briscoe versus Noam Dar In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Jay Briscoe defeated Noam Dar in 6:12 by pinfall with a Double Underhook Piledriver. Noam Dar was really off his game tonight which led to Jay Briscoe picking up his first victory on 205 Live tonight. Match Rating: C- We cut backstage following a commercial break to see the little man in a bull costume El Torito trying to use a vending machine but he is too short to reach the buttons. TJ Perkins then walks past and helps El Torito push the button before walking off chuckling to himself. Rating: F+ We cut to another backstage area to find Chavo Guerrero speaking with 205 Live referee Chad Patton. Chavo Guerrero says that as the self-proclaimed VP of 205 Live he has to make it clear to Patton how important it is to referee tonight’s main event well with so much at stake. Chad Patton looks confused before nodding and walking away. Rating: E+ WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy and Enzo Amore versus Chad Gable and Rich Swann In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Buddy Murphy and Enzo Amore defeated Chad Gable and Rich Swann in 17:32 when Buddy Murphy defeated Chad Gable by pinfall with a Murphy's Law. This match was too long given who was involved with some members of the WWE Universe not yet convinced on the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy. However, as Buddy Murphy pinned Chad Gable to win tonight’s main event for his team, Chad Gable’s 205 Live contract is now terminated. Match Rating: E Final Show Rating: E+ Prediction League Table:

Thursday, Week 3, December, 2014 The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy and Enzo Amore versus Chad Gable and Rich Swann The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the 205 Live General Manager John “Bradshaw” Layfield and will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy team up with a former Cruiserweight Champion in Enzo Amore to take on the team of Chad Gable and Rich Swann. This Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View Buddy Murphy will put his WWE Cruiserweight Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against Cedric Alexander as well as the legendary former eight-time Cruiserweight Champion, the masked Rey Mysterio. Despite being insulted by both Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann for his personal hygiene, or lack thereof, last week, Buddy Murphy was still able to defeat Rich Swann in last week’s 205 Live non-title main event. The Australian Buddy Murphy may look like a “Bum” and may smell like one too but since winning the WWE Cruiserweight Championship from Cedric Alexander three weeks ago he has defeated both Rich Swann and Chad Gable in 205 Live non-title main events. Chad Gable and Rich Swann both know that an all-important victory tonight, albeit in tag team action, could well lead to one or both of them receiving a future opportunity to challenge for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Both Chad Gable and Rich Swann were part of the team that defeated Enzo Amore’s team in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match last month. Chris Jericho versus Simon Gotch The “Cheeky Monkey” and former four-time Cruiserweight Champion Chris Jericho will be in action tonight on 205 Live as “Y2J” takes on Simon Gotch. Simon Gotch seems to be a Sidekick to some of the more prominent members of the 205 Live roster and is yet to pick up his first victory in 205 Live. In fact, the last time we saw Simon Gotch in action on 205 Live was back in September in a losing effort against his opponent tonight, Chris Jericho. Jay Briscoe versus Noam Dar The “Redneck” Jay Briscoe lost to the former WWE Tag Team Champion Epico last week on 205 Live in what was Jay Briscoe’s 205 Live debut match. Tonight Jay Briscoe will look to have more success as he takes on the “Scottish Supernova” Noam Dar, who likes to act like an “Old School Face” during his matches but never seems to really have the support of the WWE Universe in attendance. Noam Dar is another Superstar yet to pick up his first victory on 205 Live and was last in action on 205 Live back in September when he suffered a defeat at the hands of Chris Jericho. Quick Picks: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy and Enzo Amore versus Chad Gable and Rich Swann Chris Jericho versus Simon Gotch Jay Briscoe versus Noam Dar (Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month.)

Monday, Week 3, December, 2014 http://www.targetcenter.com/assets/img/WWE_RAW_LIVE_DEC_2014_SPOTLIGHT-NEW.jpg WWE Monday Night RAW (Live from Mammoth Events Center (CO) 5,100 in Attendance) Pre-Show: Ayako Hamada versus Nia Jax In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Nia Jax defeated Ayako Hamada in 18:17 by submission. A hot crowd was against Nia Jax in this pre-show match, chanting for her not to come back. It would appear that the WWE Universe have not been impressed with Nia Jax in the short time she has been competing on Monday Night RAW. Nevertheless, the larger Nia Jax was still able to pick up the all-important victory here after forcing Ayako Hamada to tap out. Match Rating: E- Pre-Show: Dogs of War (Ziggler & McIntyre) versus Resurrection (Matt Hardy & Luke Gallows) In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, Dogs of War defeated Resurrection in 17:50 when Drew McIntyre defeated Matt Hardy by pinfall with a Zig Zag Claymore Combination. Luke Gallows seemed off his game tonight which led to the Dogs of War pairing of Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre focusing their offence on Gallows for the majority of the match until Gallows was able to make the tag to Matt Hardy only for Hardy to fall victim to the Zig Zag Claymore Combination by Ziggler and McIntyre before McIntyre pinned Hardy to pick up the win for his team. Match Rating: C- Pre-Show: Rob Van Dam versus Solomon Crowe In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Rob Van Dam defeated Solomon Crowe in 18:27 by pinfall with a Five Star Frog Splash. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe still not really interested in Solomon Crowe. Match Rating: D (Terry Taylor would seriously consider either turning Rob Van Dam or trying a new gimmick as he has become a stale character and needs a shake-up.) Tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW kicks off with the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar making his way to the ring, flanked by his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn. The WWE Universe gives Lesnar a great reception as he enters the ring as Billy Gunn retrieves a microphone from the ringside area.

Billy Gunn says that Brock Lesnar has previously beaten all three members of the Shield individually and that this Sunday Lesnar will climb the ladder and retrieve the WWE Universal Championship and head into the new year still Universal Champion. Billy Gunn then thanks the Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox for giving Brock Lesnar a warm-up in tonight’s non-title main event match against Kassius Ohno. Roman Reigns then comes to the entrance-way with a microphone in hand and says that one of the Shield will leave this Sunday as the new WWE Universal Champion, and that Brock Lesnar can believe that. Rating: C+ WWE Divas Champion Alexa Bliss, Evie and Kaitlyn versus Sexy Star, Raquel Diaz and Rosa Mendes In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Alexa Bliss, Evie and Kaitlyn defeated Sexy Star, Raquel Diaz and Rosa Mendes in 7:08 when Alexa Bliss defeated Sexy Star by pinfall with a Twisted Bliss.

Rating: F Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne versus Mason Ryan In an extremely poor match, Pete Dunne defeated Mason Ryan in 6:36 by pinfall with a Bitter End. Unfortunately Pete Dunne and Mason Ryan don’t seem to click as opponents and it made for an awkward bout here.

In just six days at the TLC Pay-Per-View this Sunday, Brock Lesnar will put his WWE Universal Championship on the line in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against three members of the Shield in Roman Reigns, William Regal and Braun Strowman. Kassius Ohno has been dressing like a member of the KKK recently and making some controversial comments on social media but an all-important victory for Kassius Ohno in non-title action tonight could lead to the former one-half of the Kings of Wrestling getting a future title opportunity. Tonight will be Ohno’s third chance to take on Brock Lesnar in the main event of Monday Night RAW following consecutive defeats against the “Beast” in September and October. WWE RAW Tag Team Titles: IC Champ Rollins and Ambrose © vs. Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) The WWE RAW Tag Team Championships will once again be on the line tonight on Monday Night RAW as the WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and his partner Dean Ambrose will put their titles on the line against the new pairing of Akam Dhinsa and Rezar Selmani, who wish to be referred to by the WWE Universe as “Authors of Pain”.

Sugar Dunkerton versus Braun Strowman Braun Strowman will join his Shield stablemates Roman Reigns and William Regal in challenging Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View in a Fatal Four-Way Tables, Ladders and Chairs match but before then Strowman will take on Sugar Dunkerton tonight on Monday Night RAW. Zack Ryder versus William Regal The Vengeful William Regal and his Shield stablemates have been targeting Brock Lesnar for the better part of a year now and will get their chance to dethrone Lesnar and take the WWE Universal Championship this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View but before that happens William Regal must first go one on one with Zack Ryder tonight on Monday Night RAW. WWE Divas Champion Alexa Bliss, Evie and Kaitlyn versus Sexy Star, Raquel Diaz and Rosa Mendes Six-Diva tag team action tonight on Monday Night RAW will see the WWE Divas Champion Alexa Bliss team up with Evie and former Divas Champion Kaitlyn to take on the team of Sexy Star, Raquel Diaz and Rosa Mendes.

I'd be down for another season. On another note, BHK thank you for running the game and for generally being so helpful in this community over the years. I really miss playing mafia with you mate.

A question for both of you. That's your favourite thing about the UK or your favourite thing/person to come from the UK?

I anxiously await your decisions. Should be around sporadically for most of the day.

I thought that after a certain period of indeciveness the vote flips and we have to choose between the other two?

Morning all. So are you still undecided? I'm pretty sure the deadline is looming over us.

You are lucky. So did you guys make your decisions yet? Would like to know what's going on going forward.

My girlfriend doesn't like me sitting and playing games too much but I'm sure I'll get into it once she goes back to the office.

I've managed to get a bit done but it's so easy to get lazy and end up watching Netflix for hours.

I'm still working from home and starting to get a bit restless. Hence needing to stay in this game for my sanity's sake. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I wouldn't mind that option either. Anyway, what's everyone up to today? Anybody working from home?

What would you rather I do? I would very much like to remain in the game and don't wish to concede. How about you?
