Really hope you can adjust the mod to the feedback. I've always had the itch to book the invasion angle. It is one of the most messed up opportunities in WWE history in my opinion. Haven't got the itch to download the mod just yet because of some of the feedback. Hoping for the best!

I cannot wait for this mod. Already thinking of my plans for a WWE save. This is a terrific timeline, and the place is not so far from history. Really looking forward to playing this on Christmas Day if you can get it finished. I would be more than willing to play it give feedback if any is needed.

The first Smackdown Live show is coming soon. Will be making further announcements about the roster. Potential signings, matches, NXT, and more! Hope you enjoy the first Raw! Can't wait to see which brand wins in the ratings this week!

Monday Night Raw: August Week One Monday Night Raw August Week 1 Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and GM Mick Foley stand in the center of the ring as they get ready to address the crowd. "Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to Monday Night Raw!" Stephanie says as she points to the titantron. She would go on to introduce Raw General Manager Mick Foley, who brings out all of the superstars onto the entrance ramp. Foley goes on to say, "Since last we lost out on the WWE Championship, we have had to settle for bigger and better things. We had to make our own title. A title that is created for the WWE Universe. One title that will be called the Universal Championship!" Foley goes on to make his first matches of the night as he announces an eight-man tournament for the right to win the WWE Universal Championship that will conclude at Summerslam! "Tonight we will see the Roman Reigns take on Chris Jericho in our main event! We will also see Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins vs Cesaro, and last but not least Finn Balor take on Jack Swagger!" Stephanie adds on by, "Oh! That match starts right now!" (61) 1. Finn Balor vs. Jack Swagger Finn Balor proved why you don't need size to win. Balor came out of the gate hot, looking to keep Swagger off balance with a fast attack. After a flurry of quick combinations of kicks and punches, Swagger would body slam the Demon and lock in the ankle lock. Just when it looked like Swagger had it locked in, Balor somehow rolled out of the ankle lock, flipping Swagger onto his butt. Balor would proceed to hit a superplex right in the middle of the ring, setting up a Coup de Grace for the finish. (63) 2. Braun Strowman vs. Zack Ryder Ever since debuting on the main roster with the Wyatt Family, Braun Strowman has been a question mark for much of the WWE. Not much is known about the big man who is now estranged from his leader Bray Wyatt. Strowman would quickly show in his debut singles match on Raw just how dominant he was as he dismantled Zack Ryder. (47) 3. Nia Jax vs. Local Worker One of NXT's hottest prospects, Nia Jax, sent a message to the rest of the Women's division as she destroyed a local talent in around 8 minutes. The power and strength of the one they call Nia Jax has made her a force to be reckoned with. (10) New Day Segment The New Day came down to the ring in a celebratory mood even after their loss to the Wyatt Family in the six-man tag team action the night before at WWE Battleground. Xavier Woods was quick to shrug off the loss to the Wyatts and pointed out that the New Day is the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions. Kofi would need to add on to that by saying that they are the "best tag team in WWE history." The tag champs were quickly interrupted by a host of teams, including the Dudley Boyz, Enzo and Big Cass, and The Club (Gallows & Anderson). All three teams would try and make their case for title matches with the New Day. The arguing would continue until Mick Foley appeared on the titantron and informed Gallows & Anderson that their match against the Golden Truth was next! (58) 4. Gallows & Anderson, vs. The Golden Truth Just after they entered the line to face the New Day for the tag team titles. Gallows and Anderson made quick work of the Golden Truth. As the power and speed combination of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson was too much for R-Truth and Goldust's inexperienced team. (62) 5. Backstage Segment with Seth Rollins, Mick Foley, Stephanie McMahon Despite losing last night at Battleground, Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley are still backing Seth Rollins to win the Universal title. Rollins walked into the office of Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon and confidently told them that they were looking at "the next Universal Champion!" Stephanie and Mick Foley wished Seth good luck as he walked out of the office. Stephanie and Mick both shared a look as he walked out. (75) 6. Seth Rollins vs. Cesaro One of the best matches of the night saw Seth Rollins take on the Swiss Superman Cesaro in an entertaining 20-minute match. Both Rollins and Cesaro struggled for control in the match's early goings, as neither man could gain the upper hand. After a failed attempt for a curb stomp by Rollins, Cesaro got Rollins down for the Cesaro swing, just when Sheamus would run down onto the apron and distracted Cesaro. Cesaro would quickly learn never to turn your back on a former WWE Champion as Rollins turned him around into a pedigree. Then finished him off with a curb stomp for the victory. Rollins is onto the next round of the 8-person Universal Championship tournament! (70) Kevin Owens Interview Segment We cut backstage to an interview with Kevin Owens as he is preparing for his match against Sami Zayn as a part of the Universal Championship tournament. Owens is asked about the effect the loss last night to Zayn at Battleground is having on him. Owens states that he is ready for tonight's match against Sami Zayn and won't miss out on fighting for the Universal Championship. (54) 7. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn Just 24 hours after losing at Battleground to the same man he faced Tonight on Raw. Kevin Owens proved that last night was just a fluke and that he is coming for the Universal title. Owens would punish Zayn for much of the match as he had retribution on his mind from the night before. A pop-up powerbomb by KO would see him get past Sami Zayn and into the next round! (68) 8. ©Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks Raw Women's Championship Match In a match of two rivals who are always looking to prove who is the better wrestler. We saw both women shine in a decent showdown for the Raw Women's Championship. Multiple attempts of a distraction by Charlotte's "understudy" Dana Brooke wouldn't hold The Boss Sasha Banks back. Charlotte would run into Dana Brooke, standing on the ring apron, and would take out the understudy and allow Banks to go onto the attack and lock in the Banks Statement to secure her first main roster championship reign. (50) Jericho Backstage Segment Jericho is seen warming up backstage as he gets ready to take on Roman Reigns in the main event of Monday Night Raw. Jericho would then be interrupted for an interview where they asked for his thoughts on tonight's match against Reigns as a part of the tournament. Jericho would insult the interviewer for interrupting his warm-up and proceed to call him an "Idiot" in typical Jericho fashion. Chris would finish off the interview by stating that Reigns didn't deserve this opportunity. (82) 9. Chris Jericho vs. Roman Reigns Right before the match, we had a recap of the night by the commentary team. Corey Graves would also mention that only on Monday Night Raw could you see Chris Jericho, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Cesaro, and Finn Balor all in action on one night. Roman Reigns lost the match at Battleground after a Dirty Deeds by Dean Ambrose, which confirmed the WWE Championship would stay on Smackdown. Now with a match with Jericho in Raw's main event, could he capitalize on this opportunity to advance in the tournament? Both men had something to prove as Reigns was coming off a loss, and Jericho was coming off an embarrassing RKO from out of nowhere by Randy Orton during Jericho's "The Highlight Reel." A high-intensity matchup saw both men land big blows. Reigns with a couple of spears and superman punches. Jericho would lock in the Walls of Jericho a few times but was unable to land a codebreaker. Right when Jericho was down and out, and it was looking like a Reigns victory. Reigns signaled that the ending was near as he stalked Jericho as he struggled to get up, Reigns charged for the spear but was hit by a codebreaker. Jericho crawled into the cover for a 1...2… "Kick out at TWO!" Michael Cole screamed. Roman Reigns was the first one to his feet as Jericho pleaded with the referee. Jericho would turn around into a spear as Reigns is into the next round. (62) Overall: 60 CT Mohegan Sun Arena in front of 10,783

Raw vs Smackdown 2016: McMahon vs McMahon I have been playing TEW for a few months now and have enjoyed the game, so much so that I am going to be starting a diary. Since people recommend that you write about something that you are interested in. I have decided to write a diary about the WWE 2016 Brand Split. This is during a time in WWE where they were starting to see a decline in ratings and viewers. Many people were tired of the same old product each week. To spice things up they brought back the brand split in an attempt to build Smackdown into a competitor for Monday Night Raw and just be a "B show." I will be starting this dynasty in the coming days as I look to book the brand split better than it was done. I have converted a 2016 RWC mod over to 2020 and will be starting my booking the Raw right after WWE Battleground. Look forward to seeing who might be interested in this diary!

Cannot wait for the mod! Rebooking the YES Movement will be very fun. You might mentioned earlier in the thread. But when is the start date in the database?
