The Undertaker beat Drew McIntyre in 5:39 by pinfall with a Tombstone Piledriver. Match Rating: B+ Final Rating: D+ Not bad for my first SmackDown!

Alicia tells Kelly that nobody wants to see her in a ring unless she’s actually wrestling, and that she’s so bad at that that she might as well give up altogether. Alicia then tells Kelly that she will soon be a Divas Champion, whereas Kelly will soon be unemployed.

Masters takes a microphone and says that before he wrestles WWE Champion Sheamus tonight he wants a one-on-one showdown with The Miz, who he will face for the US title at the Royal Rumble. Masters then passes the microphone to Primo, who claims that he challenges anybody who will be joining him in the Royal Rumble match to a singles bout tonight. The Miz then comes to the entrance-way along with Jack Swagger. The Miz tells the pair in the ring that Swagger is too good to be wrestling nobodies like Primo, and tells Masters that he doesn’t want anything to do with him until he beats him at the Royal Rumble to retain his title. Miz then says that there might not even be a title match at the Rumble if Masters gets destroyed enough by Sheamus later tonight. Rating: D- Former Divas Champion Melina comes to the ring, with a slight limp due to her injury. Melina says that she will be watching the Divas title match at the Royal Rumble very closely, and wants nothing more than to gain the title back that she never officially lost. Rating: C Santino Marella comes to the ring and says that at the Royal Rumble he will be in his first WWE Championship match. Before Santino can say anything else he is soon attacked by the WWE Champion, Sheamus; who rushes to the ring and quickly boots Santino in the skull, leaving the Italian writhing in pain on the mat. Sheamus then picks up Santino looking to cause more damage, before Mark Henry, another of the three challengers for the WWE title at the Royal Rumble, makes the save. Henry helps Santino to his feet as Sheamus backs away. Rating: C+ Montel Vontavious Porter walks past the WWE Champion Sheamus on the way to the ring, and the two have a stare-down. MVP helps Santino up along with Mark Henry, and then takes a microphone. MVP says that he guarantees one of the three men in the ring will leave the Royal Rumble with the WWE Championship that Sheamus currently holds. Sheamus is angered by this comment, and returns to the ring with a purpose. Sheamus boots Santino, knocking him all the way out of the ring, before he turns to the other two men. Sheamus kicks MVP, knocking him to the mat below. Sheamus then targets Henry. Henry goes for a clothesline but misses and he too ultimately falls to a huge kick to the head from the WWE Champion. Sheamus then stands above all three challengers with the WWE Championship held high above his head. Rating: B- Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, collectively known as Legacy, come to the ring. DiBiase takes a microphone from ringside and says that at the Royal Rumble they will beat Degeneration-X to become the new Unified Tag Team Champions. Rating: C+ Kofi Kingston versus Carlito Both of these Superstars will take part in the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble match, and their singles bout tonight has some good action, and average heat from the crowd, who witness Kingston getting the victory. Kofi Kingston beat Carlito in 7:29 by pinfall with a Trouble In Paradise. Match Rating: C+ John Cena comes to the ring and says that he was planning on getting revenge against Carlito tonight for the attack last week, but it seems Carlito just got knocked out by Kofi Kingston. The fans cheer Cena as he says that he will win the Royal Rumble match. Cena shows great intensity in his promise, and claims that he will beat the Big Show tonight. Big Show then comes to the ring and the two quickly exchange fists. The exchange doesn’t last long as the WWE Champion, Sheamus, comes to the ring ready for his match with Chris Masters. Sheamus helps Big Show by delivering a huge boot to Cena’s skull. Sheamus and Big Show are soon joined in their ambush of Cena by Legacy, and Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase stomp on Cena whilst he’s down. Before long, DX rush to the ring along with Santino Marella. Santino looks to get revenge from earlier tonight as he clotheslines Sheamus out of the ring. Legacy and Big Show soon leave the scene to stop from being attacked by DX. DX and Santino then proceed to help Cena to his feet, who looks severely weakened prior to his main event match against The Big Show later tonight. Rating: B Non-Title: Sheamus versus Chris Masters The WWE Champion Sheamus is visibly tiring towards the end of this match, as Chris Masters impresses by taking the Celtic Warrior to the limit. The match itself has solid in-ring action but almost non-existent crowd heat. Sheamus eventually gets the victory after using the ropes for leverage. Sheamus defeated Chris Masters in 15:41 by pinfall, illegally using the ropes for leverage. Match Rating: D- Big Show versus John Cena Both of these men look to impress before the Royal Rumble match, with both undeniably favourites to win the entire thing. Cena seems a little weakened due to the assault from earlier tonight, but impresses by getting the win here in what turns out to be an extremely short match. John Cena defeated Big Show in 3:16 by submission with a STF. Match Rating: C- The WWE Champion Sheamus comes to the ring and has looks threateningly at Cena as Cena leaves the ring and heads to the back. Sheamus then helps the Big Show to his feet, and shakes hands with a potential future threat to his WWE Championship. Big Show and Sheamus have a stare-down to end the show. Rating: B Final Rating: D+ I was hoping Sheamus would have done better in his match with Chris Masters. He performed well in all of the other segments he was in, and should still have a great title defence at the Royal Rumble.

This match is too long given who is involved but features great action and average heat from the crowd. Croft gets the victory after using underhanded tactics. Caylen Croft defeated God in 7:38 by pinfall after using underhanded tactics. Match Rating: C+ The Hurricane comes to the ring and says that he will win the Royal Rumble match in just a few weeks time before becoming the new ECW Champion at Wrestlemania. Ricky Ortiz then returns to ECW, and stands at the entrance-way with a microphone in hand. He says that nobody cares about what the Hurricane says, and announces that he will wrestle his first match back on ECW tonight as he faces Goldust in the main event. Rating: D+ Yoshi Tatsu versus Vance Archer Josh Matthews notes on commentary during this contest that both Superstars will be taking part in the Royal Rumble match in a few weeks time. This bout has solid in-ring action but not much in the way of crowd heat, and sees Yoshi Tatsu get the big victory heading into the Royal Rumble. Yoshi Tatsu defeated Vance Archer in 7:04 by pinfall with a Roundhouse Kick. Match Rating: C- Trent Baretta comes to the ring and says that not only will his tag team partner Caylen Croft beat Christian to become the new ECW Champion at the Royal Rumble, but Baretta will win the Royal Rumble match, and the two best friends since childhood will face one another for the very first time in the main event of Wrestlemania. Rating: E Tyler Reks versus Paul Burchill Both of these Superstars will also take part in the upcoming Royal Rumble match. Paul Burchill seems off his game tonight in a match that has solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, and sees Tyler Reks get the victory. Tyler Reks defeated Paul Burchill in 5:34 by pinfall with a Springboard Dropkick. Match Rating: F+ Zack Ryder makes his way to the ring accompanied by his very attractive Girlfriend Rosa Mendes. Ryder says that he is the heart and soul of ECW, and has everything he needs in his life. He says his life will become perfect at the Royal Rumble when he eliminates twenty-nine other men. He then says “Woo Woo Woo” before kissing Rosa Mendes. Rating: C- Goldust comes to the ring and says that in tonight’s main event he will be facing a returning Ricky Ortiz. Goldust says that Ortiz showed nothing in the way of talent last time he was here, and will be taught a tough lesson by the veteran tonight as he defeats the arrogant youngster. Rating: C God comes to the ring and says although he lost to Caylen Croft again earlier tonight, he will win the Royal Rumble match. Ezekiel Jackson then rushes to the ring and hits God with a huge slam, leaving God unable to get to his feet. Jackson then picks up the microphone and says that he will win the Royal Rumble match, showing what he does best, that being complete domination. Rating: C+ ECW Champion Christian comes to the ring and tells Ezekiel Jackson that he will be wrestling him tonight in a non-title match, and to bring all the domination he likes. The fans applaud the ECW Champion as he is the clear star of ECW, as Jackson walks to the back. Caylen Croft then rushes to the ring, looking to sneak attack his opponent at the Royal Rumble. Croft runs at Christian but Christian simply moves out of the way and Croft falls out of the ring. The fans cheer their ECW Champion as Croft looks severely embarrassed outside of the ring. Rating: D+ Shelton Benjamin comes to the ring and says that he will win this year’s Royal Rumble match, before challenging for the ECW title at Wrestlemania. William Regal comes to the ring and says that Benjamin has more promise than all of the other members of the Ruthless Roundtable, and that he hopes Benjamin wins the Rumble.

Kozlov takes the microphone and says that he promises to throw out Yoshi Tatsu from the Royal Rumble match, as he is an embarrassment to ECW. Rating: D+ Non-Title: Christian versus Ezekiel Jackson Ezekiel Jackson is visibly tiring towards the end of this match, though he does well in taking the ECW Champion to the limit. The match itself has some good action and average heat from the crowd, and sees the ECW Champion get the all-important victory heading into his title defence with Caylen Croft at the Royal Rumble. Christian defeated Ezekiel Jackson in 13:01 by pinfall with a Killswitch. Match Rating: C Goldust versus Ricky Ortiz Matt Striker notes on colour commentary during tonight’s main event that Ricky Ortiz will be looking to impress in his first match back on ECW, and that the winner of this match will be considered for a future title match by General Manager Tiffany. However, the match ends up being extremely short and sees Goldust get the victory. Goldust defeated Ricky Ortiz in 3:16 by pinfall with a Final Cut. Match Rating: D- The ECW Champion Christian returns to the ring to help his friend Goldust in celebration of his huge win in tonight’s main event. Soon enough, Caylen Croft returns to the ring, and this time tries to kick the ECW Champion, as opposed to clotheslining him. However, the result is the same as earlier tonight as Christian moves out of the way, and throws his Number One Contender out of the ring. Croft looks furious and stares Christian down from outside the ring as the show comes to a close. Rating: C- Final Rating: D Ezekiel Jackson impressed in his match with the ECW Champion Christian and will be looking to perform just as well in the Royal Rumble match.

Destiny Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thursday, Week 2, January, 2010 WWE Superstars! The Arkansas Colliseum (1,001 In Attendance) Alicia Fox versus Brie Bella Michael Cole notes on commentary during this match that Alicia Fox has a future WWE Divas Championship match with the winner of the four-way match for the title at the Royal Rumble. This bout has solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat and sees Alicia Fox get the victory after using brass knuckles behind the referee’s back. Alicia Fox beat Brie Bella in 7:52 by pinfall after using a foreign object. Match Rating: D Goldust comes to the ring and says that his victory over Ricky Ortiz on Tuesday in his first match back on ECW grants him a future title match with the ECW Champion. Ricky Ortiz then comes to the entrance-way and tells Goldust that his victory wasn’t fair. He challenges Goldust to a second match on next week’s ECW on SyFy, and Goldust accepts the challenge. Rating: C- Trent Baretta comes to the ring and says that his best friend Caylen Croft will defeat Christian at the Royal Rumble to become the new ECW Champion. Baretta then claims that he will win the Royal Rumble match, which will lead to this year’s Wrestlemania being headlines by Croft versus Baretta for the first time ever, which will no doubt be a show stealer. Rating: E- The WWE Divas Champion Eve comes to the ring. She takes a microphone to address the crowd but before she can say anything is attacked from a charging Maryse. Maryse spears the Champion to the mat, lifts her up and plants her on her skull with a huge French Kiss DDT. Maryse then picks up the microphone from the mat and says that she will win the Divas title in the four-way match at the Royal Rumble. Rating: D Brie Bella then returns to the ring along with her twin Sister Nikki to help their friend, the Divas Champion Eve, back to her feet. Eve thanks both of the Bella twins and stares down Maryse, who remains standing at the entrance-way. Maryse signals with her arms that she wants the Divas title, and that she’ll win it at the Royal Rumble. Jillian then comes out and joins Maryse on the entrance-way. Jillian says that she has just as much chance as Maryse of beating Eve in the four-way match at the Rumble and becoming the new Divas Champion. Jillian then says that if the Bella twins want to get involved in business that doesn’t concern them, then they can wrestle Maryse and Eve in a tag team match on RAW on Monday night. The Bellas accept the challenge, and Maryse and Jillian head to the back, looking forward to teaming together on Monday. Rating: D Layla versus Maria This match comes from the SmackDown! brand. Layla is visibly tiring towards the end of this contest that has solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat. However, Layla is still able to get the all-important victory after using underhanded tactics. Layla defeated Maria in 10:33 by pinfall by using underhanded tactics. Match Rating: D Chris Masters comes to the ring. He says that he was unable to beat Sheamus, the WWE Champion, on RAW but he will beat the United States Champion The Miz at the Royal Rumble to become the new United States Champion. Miz then suddenly rushes to the ring and tries to hit Masters with the US title belt. However, Masters ducks and sends Miz over the top rope and out of the ring from his own momentum. The Miz looks furious as he stares his challenger down from outside of the ring. Rating: D- Tyler Reks comes to the ring for his scheduled match with Ezekiel Jackson, from the ECW brand. He takes a microphone and says that in just a few weeks time, he will win his first ever Royal Rumble match. Before long, the Ruthless Roundtable of William Regal, Ezekiel Jackson, Vladimir Kozlov and Shelton Benjamin rush to the ring. Regal hits a Knee Trembler on Reks, and then Ezekiel Jackson picks him up and slams him hard to the mat. Regal, Jackson, Kozlov and Benjamin all then begin to stomp on the surfer Reks, before Regal takes a microphone. Regal says that his Ruthless Roundtable will continue to dominate like this on ECW until he receives an ECW Championship opportunity again. God, The Hurricane and Yoshi Tatsu all rush to the ring. As they do, the Ruthless Roundtable bail from the ring and head up the ramp. The three saviours help up Reks, who looks extremely weakened prior to his scheduled match tonight with Ezekiel Jackson. Rating: C Ezekiel Jackson versus Tyler Reks Unfortunately, the crowd were totally turned off by having this match between relative newcomers on the show, with neither man being too popular with the live audience in attendance. The match itself has solid in-ring action but not much in the way of crowd heat, and sees Jackson get the victory after using the ropes for leverage. Ezekiel Jackson defeated Tyler Reks in 7:42 by pinfall while using the ropes for leverage. Match Rating: F+ Kung Fu Naki comes to the ring and says that he will win the Royal Rumble match later this month. However, he is soon interrupted by Charlie Hass. Hass rushes to the ring and kicks Fu Naki in the gut, before hitting him with a huge German Suplex. Hass then tells Fu Naki that he’ll be wrestling him again tomorrow night on SmackDown! Hass says that Fu Naki should expect the same result as last time, with Hass being victorious. Rating: D- The WWE Divas Champion returns to the ring gingerly following her assault from Maryse earlier tonight. Before she can say anything, however, the third challenger for her Divas title at the Royal Rumble, Katie Lea Burchill comes to the ring. Katie Lea says that Eve beat her to win the Divas title, and that she would lose to her at the Royal Rumble to lose it. She then challenges Eve to a singles, non-title match on RAW. Eve accepts the challenge, before Katie Lea suddenly strikes Eve in the skull with her microphone. Eve looks knocked out as Katie Lea Burchill stands over the fallen Divas Champion. The fans boo heavily as Katie Lea eventually leaves the ring and heads to the back, with Eve slowly getting to her feet in the centre of the ring. Rating: E Non-Title: Sheamus versus Mark Henry Both the WWE Champion and one of his three challengers at the Royal Rumble, Mark Henry have great chemistry and it shows in both of their performances. The bout features great action and a good crowd, and sees Sheamus get the victory after hitting Henry with his WWE Championship belt behind the referee’s back. Sheamus defeated Mark Henry in 6:19 by pinfall after using a foreign object. Match Rating: B- Non-Title: Christian versus Paul Burchill This match comes from the ECW brand and as such is commentated on by Josh Matthews and Matt Striker. Matthews notes that the ECW Champion Christian will be defending his title against Caylen Croft at the Royal Rumble. This match has some good action and average heat from the crowd, and sees the ECW Champion get the emphatic victory heading into his title defence against Caylen Croft at the Royal Rumble. Christian defeated Paul Burchill in 8:09 by pinfall with a Killswitch. Match Rating: D Final Rating: D I think I should have ended the show with the match between Sheamus and Mark Henry, as it was far better than Christian’s match with Paul Burchill.

Destiny Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Friday, Week 2, January, 2010 WWE Friday Night SmackDown! The V. Thompson Arena (6,039 In Attendance) Batista versus Finlay Jim Ross notes on commentary during this contest that Batista will be challenging The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble. This bout features great in-ring action and a good crowd, and sees Batista get the victory after using underhanded tactics. Batista defeated Finlay in 7:40 by pinfall by using underhanded tactics. Match Rating: B Jimmy Wang Yang comes to the ring and says that last week Kung Fu Naki asked Maria out on a date and Maria accepted. Yang says that if Maria likes Asians then she should go on a date with him. Maria comes to the ring and says that she would love to go on a date with Jimmy Wang Yang. Yang smiles and says that it’s going to be his year, as he’ll win the Royal Rumble match and have a long lasting relationship with the beautiful Maria. The pair hold hands and head to the back. Rating: D Mickie James versus Layla Jim Ross notes during this match that Mickie James will be challenging for the Womens Championship at the Royal Rumble in a Triple Threat match with Natalya and the Champion Michelle McCool. Mickie soon gets the victory here in an extremely short match, building momentum heading into her Championship match at the Royal Rumble. Mickie James defeated Layla in 2:37 by pinfall with a Roundhouse Kick. Match Rating: C- Charlie Hass versus Kung Fu Naki Jim Ross notes on commentary during this match that both of these Superstars will be taking part in the Royal Rumble match in just a few weeks time. This match has some good action but not much in the way of heat from the crowd, and sees Hass get the cheap win after using the ropes for leverage. Charlie Haas defeated Kung Fu Naki in 8:06 by pinfall, illegally using the ropes for leverage. Match Rating: D+ Jimmy Wang Yang and Maria soon return to the ring, still holding hands. They are soon interrupted by Yang’s partner, Slam Master J. J comes to the ring and tells Yang that he has to remain focus, as they should work together in the Royal Rumble match, and when it comes down to just the two of them only then fight each other. Yang agrees and shakes hands with his partner. J then kisses Maria on the cheek and the three leave the ring together. Rating: D Kane comes to the ring looking especially angry. He takes a microphone and says that by not being included in the Royal Rumble match in a few weeks time he’s missing out on the opportunity to compete in a record breaking twelve consecutive Royal Rumbles. He is soon interrupted by CM Punk, along with Luke Gallows. Punk and Gallows stand at the entrance-way with a microphone and Punk tells Kane that he is washed up, and the Straight Edge society will make sure that nobody has any chance of winning the Royal Rumble match than CM Punk, and it wouldn’t make a difference if Kane was in the match or not. Kane looks even more furious inside the ring as Punk and Gallows head to the back. Rating: B Cryme Tyme come to the ring and JTG takes a microphone from ringside. JTG says that both he and his partner Shad Gaspard will take part in the upcoming Royal Rumble match and guarantees that one of them will win. Shad then takes the microphone and says after one of them win, the other will support them in going to Wrestlemania and watching them become the new World Heavyweight Champion, and then they’ll have the chance to share in all the money it brings. Rating: C Mia Mancini comes to the ring and says that she will be wrestling her debut match in tonight’s main event against Beth Phoenix. Mancini is soon interrupted by the relatively new pairing of Matt Hardy and Mike Knox. Hardy takes a microphone and says that they would like to personally welcome Mancini to SmackDown! Matt Hardy then says both he and Knox will be taking part in the Royal Rumble match, and are kind of a big deal on SmackDown! Finlay and R-Truth then come to the ring and R-Truth snatches the microphone from Matt Hardy. Mia Mancini does not seem interested in either team and heads to the back as Truth tells Knox and Hardy that he and Finlay deserved the spots in the Rumble more. The two teams stare down before Matt Hardy and Mike Knox back down and head to the back. Rating: C The Great Khali comes to the ring with his manager and Brother Ranjin Singh. Singh says that the Great Khali will beat Drew McIntyre to become the new Intercontinental Champion at the Royal Rumble. McIntyre soon comes to the ring and says that Khali is now nothing more than a joke, and that he will be destroyed by McIntyre at the Royal Rumble. McIntyre then pushes Ranjin Singh to the mat before quickly heading out of the ring and heading to the back. Khali seems furious as she shows his compassionate side by helping his Brother to his feet. One thing’s for sure, Khali won’t be showing the same compassion for McIntyre when he challenges him for the Intercontinental Championship at the Royal Rumble. Rating: C- Rey Mysterio versus Tyson Kidd Jim Ross notes on commentary during this contest that Rey Mysterio will be competing in the Royal Rumble match in just a few weeks time, and is a former winner. This bout features great action and average heat from the crowd, and sees Mysterio get the win, building great momentum heading into the Royal Rumble match. Rey Mysterio defeated Tyson Kidd in 8:46 by pinfall with a Dropping The Dime. Match Rating: C+ Following the conclusion of the match David Hart Smith rushes to the ring.

Rating: C+ The Womens Champion Michelle McCool comes to the ring and says that she will retain her Championship against both Natalya and Mickie James in the Triple Threat match at the Royal Rumble. Mickie then comes to the ring and tells Michelle that she will do whatever she can to make sure she wins the Womens Championship at the Royal Rumble. The third member of the Triple Threat match, Natalya then comes to the ring. Natalya stares at McCool with intensity and McCool soon takes her Championship and heads to the back. Natalya then turns her attention to Mickie James and Clotheslines her. Natalya then puts Mickie in the Sharpshooter, with Mickie writhing in pain on the mat. Eventually, Natalya breaks the hold and leaves the ring, with Mickie clearly weakened before the Championship match at the Royal Rumble. Rating: C Beth Phoenix then comes to the ring to help Mickie James to her feet. Beth helps Mickie out of the ring only for Natalya to return to the ring and attack Beth from behind. The stronger Beth Phoenix begins to fight back against Natalya, with punches of her own. Soon enough, though, Michelle McCool returns to the ring with her good friend Layla. Layla does not cause much damage but McCool kicks Beth Phoenix in the head, knocking her to the mat. Michelle and Natalya then look at each other before both stomping Beth Phoenix and even Layla comes and strikes Beth Phoenix with some weaker shots. The three Women then shake hands, before heading to the back, leaving Beth Phoenix weakened prior to her main event match with newcomer Mia Mancini. Rating: D+ John Morrison comes to the ring and says that he is disappointed that he wasn’t selected by General Manager Theodore Long to take part in this year’s Royal Rumble match. Dolph Ziggler then comes to the entrance-way and says that if anybody should be severely irritated about not being included in the Royal Rumble match, it’s him. Ziggler tells Morrison that he is twice the Superstar Morrison is, before heading to the back with his usual arrogant swagger. Rating: B The Undertaker comes to the ring for a scheduled match with Chris Jericho. The World Heavyweight Champion takes a microphone, but before he can say anything the Number One Contender, Batista, rushes to the ring. Batista spears The Undertaker half-way across the ring. Batista then picks up the microphone from the mat below and says that he will win the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble. Batista then picks up the World title and lifts it above his head, with the fallen World Champion hardly able to move on the mat below. Rating: A Chris Jericho then comes out for his non-title match with the World Heavyweight Champion. Jericho passes Batista on the ramp on the way to the ring as Batista is heading to the back and Jericho then climbs into the ring. The Undertaker is still down, and Jericho smiles and lifts his arms in the air in celebration, clearly pleased that he should have a comfortable victory against the World Champion. However, Jericho’s smile soon turns into a look of fear as The Undertaker sits up and stares at Jericho. Jericho quickly heads out of the ring, and will clearly have to think of a different strategy for the match that will take place in just a few moments time. Rating: A Non-Title: The Undertaker versus Chris Jericho This tremendous match lifts the crowd, and features great wrestling and a sizzling hot crowd, many witnessing the World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker in action for the very first time. It’s the World Champion who gets the all-important victory here in a great match. The Undertaker defeated Chris Jericho in 16:20 by pinfall with a Choke Slam. Match Rating: A Beth Phoenix versus Mia Mancini Jim Ross notes during this main event match of the evening that the winner of this bout will receive a future Womens Championship opportunity against the winner of the Triple Threat title match at the Royal Rumble. Beth Phoenix gets the victory here in what ends up being an extremely short match. Beth Phoenix defeated Mia Mancini in 2:59 by pinfall with a Glam Slam. Match Rating: E+ Following the conclusion of tonight’s main event, the World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker returns to the ring. Undertaker says that Batista will soon regret attacking him earlier, and at the Royal Rumble, Undertaker will successfully retain his World title, heading into Wrestlemania as the Champion. As for Batista, Undertaker says that he will rest in peace. Undertaker then poses with his World title to end the show. Rating: B+ Final Rating: B My best show to date! I was really happy with this show and thought Undertaker and Jericho did brilliantly in their match.

oleolekid Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 No offense dude but your shows kinda suck. First off why in the hell are you giving Masters & Khali IC & US Title shots? Secondly why the hell are Santino and Henry getting WWE Title shots, MVP is a stretch but I can kinda go with it atleast. Thridly why in gods green earth are you pushing those 4/5 other guys when they should simply be in the Rumble instead of the majority of your big names? also a Diva's match to main event a show?? I know WWE did it on a few occasions with Trish & Lita but thats because they were like upper card level's in popularity, they could deliver the goods on that stage, none of the current Diva's are that over, except maybe Mickie. Lastly just curious what was with Eve Vs. Katie LEa on your first show for the Diva's belt?? two women that never won the belt randomly facing off to crown the new champion?? thats not likely unless they went through a tourny like WWE's doing atm, also for RAW that was the only match announced before hand? why? As if that was gonna sell tickets or spike a rating. Not trying to be negative dude but they struck me as odd choices to make on your part, one thing not sure if you have it set already but ECW should be a minor brand, to that end it would likely draw as much as Superstars does, but yours outdide SD so im guessing it's not set to minor, it would likely help as ECW is not full of the talent needed to be a major brand, also i'd keep matches with guys with less than D+ in popularity on ECW or Superstars, easy way to save your A shows a few points, also try to remember you dont need every guy avaliable on every show, 1 show a week is enough for most people as far as Masters is concerned. Just my opinion though so take it for what you will and Good Luck on you future shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMAN Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I don't think it's that bad really... I mean, I miss his 20-match TNA cards he used to put together with random celebrities. He seems to have gone real though with WWE, cause for a minute it felt like I was actually watching Raw.

Jillian and Maryse beat The Bella Twins in 8:28 when Maryse defeated Nikki Bella by pinfall. Match Rating: D+ Primo comes to the ring with a microphone and says that he hopes to win his first Royal Rumble match in two weeks time. He is soon interrupted by Chavo Guerrero, who comes to the ring and tells Primo that it will be him that wins the Royal Rumble, because he has the blood of a warrior. Chavo then tries to hit Primo with the microphone but Primo blocks the shot, and hits Chavo with his microphone instead.

Rating: D Kelly Kelly comes to the ring to be the guest ring announcer and looks extremely pleased to be given the honour. However, she is soon interrupted by Alicia Fox. Alicia Fox comes to the entrance-way and tells Kelly that she is already in a bad mood after losing to Gail Kim earlier, and that seeing Kelly’s stupid grin is only making her feel worse. Alicia tells Kelly that she has no right to be standing in a wrestling ring, and that she’s nothing more than a glorified bimbo, which upsets Kelly. Alicia then heads to the back leaving Kelly looking downtrodden. Rating: C- Evan Bourne comes to the ring to console his friend, Kelly Kelly, after she was insulted by Alicia Fox. Kelly hugs Bourne before leaving the ring a little cheerier and heading to the back. Bourne is also about to leave the ring before Carlito runs down the ramp and spits apple in the face of Bourne. Carlito then takes a microphone from ringside and says that he warned John Cena with an attack, and now he’s warning Bourne. Carlito then hits a Backstabber on Bourne before picking up the microphone and telling him that he will eliminate him from the Royal Rumble match on the way to becoming the first Caribbean winner in Royal Rumble match history. Rating: C- Former Divas Champion Melina makes her way to the ring gingerly, and takes a microphone from ringside.

Rating: C Montel Vontavious Porter comes to the ring with a microphone. MVP says that at the Royal Rumble he will be challenging Sheamus for the WWE Championship in a four-way match with two other challengers, those being Mark Henry and Santino Marella. MVP calls his partner, Mark Henry, to the ring. Mark Henry comes to the ring and the two men hug.

Mark Henry says that he wouldn’t have it any other way and the two shake hands. The pair then leave together to make preparations before Henry’s non-title match with Sheamus later tonight. Rating: B- Sheamus comes to the ring and tells Henry and MVP that he’ll beat Mark Henry tonight, and successfully retain his WWE Championship in the four-way match at the Royal Rumble. Henry and MVP decide to save themselves for later tonight when Henry faces Sheamus in a non-title match and the pair leave the ring and head to the back. Jack Swagger then surprisingly comes to the ring and stares face to face with the WWE Champion Sheamus. Swagger snatches the microphone from Sheamus and tells him that after he wins the Royal Rumble match, he’ll be challenging whoever the WWE Champion is at Wrestlemania, as he wants to stay on RAW. Swagger then tells Sheamus that he better hope he isn’t still the Champion, or he will get destroyed. He then puts out his hand for Sheamus to shake, and Sheamus does shake Swagger’s hand. Sheamus feels like Swagger was brave to confront him, and Swagger leaves the ring happy that he made the statement he wanted to, and heads to the back Rating: B The WWE Champion remains in the ring and asks if anybody else in the back wanted to dare to confront him. Soon enough, one of the three challengers for Sheamus’ WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble, Santino Marella, comes to the ring. Santino snatches the microphone from Sheamus but before he can say anything is met by a huge boot from the WWE Champion, knocking Santino to the mat. Sheamus then picks Santino up and looks to powerbomb him before Mark Henry returns to the ring. Henry stares intently at the WWE Champion Sheamus, and Sheamus pushes Santino to the mat, and backs out of the ring. Mark Henry helps Santino to his feet after saving him from a serious beating, and stares at Sheamus on the ramp. Sheamus will meet Mark Henry later tonight in a non-title bout. Rating: C Kofi Kingston comes to the ring and takes a microphone from ringside. Kingston says that he was successful in defeating Carlito last week and feels confident heading into the Royal Rumble match. Kingston is soon interrupted by The Big Show. The Big Show slowly walks to the ring with a microphone of his own and says that he may have lost to John Cena last week, but tonight he will destroy Chris Masters in the main event. Big Show then enters the ring and headbutts Kingston, knocking him off of his feet. Big Show then picks up the microphone from the mat below and says that he is the only person capable of winning the Royal Rumble match, and that nobody will be able to eliminate him. Big Show then picks up Kingston and hits a huge Chokeslam, and the live fans in attendance seem to be impressed with the pure strength displayed from the largest athlete in the World. Rating: B- Triple H versus Cody Rhodes At the Royal Rumble Degeneration X will defend their Unified Tag Team Championships against Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, collectively known as Legacy. As for this match tonight, it features great action and a good crowd, who are considerably lifted by this contest. Triple H gets the victory here heading into the Tag Team title match at the Royal Rumble. Triple H defeated Cody Rhodes in 9:20 by pinfall with a Pedigree. Match Rating: B Triple H celebrates in the ring as Ted DiBiase comes to the ring to help his tag team partner to his feet. DiBiase takes a microphone from ringside and tells Hunter that it will be a different story at the Royal Rumble and they will win the Unified Tag Team titles. DiBiase then throws the microphone out of the ring and it looks as though Legacy are going to attack Triple H, before Shawn Michaels rushes to the ring. HBK slides in the ring and Legacy quickly bail and head up the ramp. Michaels takes a microphone from ringside as the fans explode in excitement. HBK says that DX will keep the Tag Team titles at the Royal Rumble, and if Legacy aren’t down with that, then they’ve only got two words for them: suck it. Rating: A Kofi Kingston returns to the ring following the earlier attack from Big Show. Kingston takes a microphone from ringside and says that he will get his revenge on the Big Show when he eliminates him from the Royal Rumble match, before winning the entire contest and going on to headline Wrestlemania. John Cena then comes to the ring and says that Kingston should get used to being attacked, Cena himself was attacked by Carlito two weeks ago, but he still managed to make Big Show tap out in last week’s main event. Cena tells Kingston that he likes him, but in order for him to win the Royal Rumble, he’ll have to go through Cena. Cena and Kingston have a stare-down in the ring, with both men surely considered favourites in the Royal Rumble match in two weeks time. Rating: B+ Non-Title: Sheamus versus Mark Henry Mark Henry is visibly tiring towards the end of this match that features great action and a good crowd. The larger Mark Henry dominates during the early parts of this contest before he begins to tire and the WWE Champion Sheamus gets the cheap victory after using the ropes for leverage. Sheamus defeated Mark Henry in 12:31 by pinfall while using the ropes for leverage. Match Rating: B- Big Show versus Chris Masters Jerry Lawler notes on commentary during this contest that Chris Masters may not be able to compete against Miz for the US title at the Royal Rumble if he gets beaten too badly tonight at the hands of the Big Show. Big Show does get the victory here in an extremely short main event match after illegally using the ropes for leverage. Big Show defeated Chris Masters in 2:35 by pinfall, illegally using the ropes for leverage. Match Rating: D Following the conclusion of the match Sheamus comes to the ring to confront the Big Show, just as he did last week after Big Show’s loss to John Cena. The WWE Champion Sheamus holds out his hand, just as Swagger did to him earlier, and Big Show shakes it; staring intently into the eyes of the WWE Champion. The two continue to have a stare-down as the show comes to a close. Rating: B+ Final Rating: C+ This was my best RAW to date. The WWE Champion Sheamus had a great match with Mark Henry, and the four-way for the WWE title at the Royal Rumble should be terrific.

The Hurricane defeated Paul Burchill in 6:45 by pinfall with a Shining Wizard. Match Rating: C- Rosa Mendes comes to the ring without her Boyfriend Zack Ryder and says that she is the most dominant female in ECW. She is soon interrupted by the ECW General Manager, Tiffany. Tiffany stands at the entrance-way and tells Rosa that if she wants to keep her job she’ll have to start proving herself inside the ring.

Archer tells Yoshi that he will personally eliminate him and any other foreigners on the way to winning his first ever Royal Rumble match. Yoshi Tatsu looks extremely insulted as Archer heads to the back. Rating: E+ God returns to the ring following his loss to Caylen Croft in tonight’s opening match. God says that he may have lost earlier but at the Royal Rumble he will prove that he is the most powerful being in the World by eliminating twenty-nine other men. He is soon interrupted by Ezekiel Jackson, who strolls to the ring with a microphone. Jackson addresses God and tells him that it will be him that wins the Royal Rumble match. Once in the ring, Jackson hits God with a huge clothesline. Jackson then picks God up and throws him over the top rope and onto the floor below. Jackson smiles before breaking into a laugh at the domination he just showed as God grimaces in pain on the floor outside of the ring. Rating: C Ezekiel Jackson slowly heads to the back, and passes Zack Ryder on the way up the ramp. Ezekiel Jackson leaves at the top of the entrance-way and Ryder takes a microphone from ringside. Ryder stands over the fallen God and tells him that he is superior to him in every way imaginable. Ryder tells God that he doesn’t need him, as his Girlfriend Rosa Mendes will be watching over him at the Royal Rumble, when he defeats twenty-nine other men before heading to the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania. Ryder then says Woo Woo Woo before laughing again at God and heading to the back. Rating: C Caylen Croft comes to the ring as God is helped to the back by ECW trainers and referees. Croft says that after God lost to him in tonight’s opening match, his night just got worse and worse. Croft then says that after he defeats Christian at the Royal Rumble Christian’s career will get worse and worse, as he doesn’t have the ECW Championship to shield him from getting fired. Soon enough, the ECW Champion Christian rushes to the ring. Christian, clearly having heard enough of Croft’s insult charges straight at the Number One Contender. Croft quickly bails out of the ring and up the entrance-ramp. Croft tells Christian that he may not even make it to the Royal Rumble, as he has to face Vladimir Kozlov tonight in a non-title bout. The fans heavily boo Caylen Croft as Christian looks worried about having to face Kozlov later tonight. Rating: C+ Shelton Benjamin comes to the ring with the leader of the Ruthless Roundtable William Regal. Regal takes a microphone from ringside and says that although Kozlov, Ezekiel Jackson and Shelton Benjamin are all in the Royal Rumble match, he thinks Benjamin deserves to win and go on to Wrestlemania to become the ECW Champion for the very first time. Regal then shakes Benjamin’s hand and the pair leave the ring together. Rating: C+ Just as Regal and Benjamin are heading to the back, Vladimir Kozlov interrupts them on the entrance-way. Kozlov tells the pair that they had the decency to watch Ezekiel Jackson when he faced Christian, and that his fellow Ruthless Roundtable members should both have his back tonight. Regal agrees and he and Benjamin remain at ringside as Vladimir Kozlov awaits the ECW Champion Christian in the ring for their scheduled non-title match. Rating: C- Non-Title: Christian versus Vladimir Kozlov The ECW Champion Christian looks determined to get the victory in this match to build momentum before heading into his title defence against Caylen Croft at the Royal Rumble. The bout itself features great action and a good crowd, and sees Christian get the all-important victory heading into his title defence at the Royal Rumble. Christian defeated Vladimir Kozlov in 8:03 by pinfall with a Killswitch. Match Rating: C+ Tyler Reks versus Chris Hero Even though this match has Tyler Reks ‘ Royal Rumble spot on the line, the crowd are totally turned off as they have no awareness of who Chris Hero is in his debut match and Tyler Reks is not an established name. The bout itself has solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, and tonight’s main event sees Reks get the victory, holding onto his spot in the Royal Rumble match. Tyler Reks defeated Chris Hero in 12:35 by pinfall with a Springboard Dropkick. Match Rating: F+ Following the conclusion of tonight’s main event Chris Hero gingerly heads to the back clearly disappointed with himself for losing his first match on ECW. The ECW Champion Christian then comes to the ring to congratulate Tyler Reks on his impressive victory. The pair shake hands before Reks heads to the back. Caylen Croft then rushes to the ring and tries to hit Christian with a steel chair, but Christian ducks and hits Croft with his ECW Championship belt. Christian then stands over an unsuccessful Caylen Croft as ECW comes to a close. Rating: C Final Rating: D+ Caylen Croft did well in his match with God and his later angles with the ECW Champion Christian, and I hope he performs well in the title match at the Royal Rumble.

Knox then kicks Fu Naki in the head, before throwing him from the ring. Fu Naki looks severely weakened on the floor prior to his match with Mike Knox tomorrow night on SmackDown! Rating: D Caylen Croft versus Tyler Reks Tyler Reks seems off his game tonight in this match, likely due to the attack he received earlier tonight at the hands of the Ruthless Roundtable. This match itself is extremely short and sees Caylen Croft get the victory after using a handful of tights. Caylen Croft beatTyler Reks in 4:50 by pinfall with a handful of tights. Match Rating: E- Rosa Mendes comes to the ring with a microphone and says that she will be ready whenever Tiffany wants to wrestle her.

As Christian enters the ring Zack Ryder’s music plays and he comes to the entrance-way with a microphone. Zack Ryder says that he knows he can beat Christian, and will take him on in a singles match this upcoming week on ECW on SyFy. Rating: C Non-Title: Christian versus Chris Hero This main event match is too long given who is involved, with Chris Hero being relatively inexperienced in a WWE ring.

Christian defeated Chris Hero in 17:53 by pinfall with a Killswitch.

Mickie gets the victory here in an extremely short match. Mickie James defeated Layla in 2:53 by pinfall with a Roundhouse Kick. Match Rating: C- Mike Knox versus Kung Fu Naki Mike Knox seems off his game tonight in a match that has some good action and average heat from the live crowd in attendance. Mike Knox is still able to get the victory building momentum heading into the Royal Rumble match after hitting Fu Naki with his boot that he took off behind the referee’s back. Mike Knox defeated Kung Fu Naki in 7:54 by pinfall after using a foreign object. Match Rating: D+ Charlie Hass and Matt Hardy vs Jimmy Wang Yang and Slam Master J Jim Ross notes on commentary during this bout that all four of these men will be competing in the Royal Rumble match later this month. This match itself features some good action and average heat from the crowd, and sees Matt Hardy pin Jimmy Wang Yang to give his team the victory. Charlie Haas and Matt Hardy beat Yang and Slam Master in 8:03. Match Rating: C- Kane comes to the ring and says that it’s a travesty that he won’t be competing in the Royal Rumble match later this month. Luke Gallows soon rushes to the ring to heavy boos from the crowd, and he immediately hits Kane with a big boot, knocking him to the mat below. Gallows then stands over a fallen Kane, and picks up the microphone. Gallows says that he will make sure CM Punk wins the Royal Rumble match. Rating: C- David Hart Smith and Tyson Kidd, collectively known as the Hart Dynasty, come to the ring. Smith takes a microphone and says that it’s a travesty that they won’t be competing in the Royal Rumble match next Sunday. Cryme Tyme soon come to the ring and JTG snatches the microphone from Smith. JTG says that the reason Cryme Tyme are in the Royal Rumble match and the Hart Dynasty aren’t is because Cryme Tyme are better, and JTG says he will prove that in tonight’s main event when he faces David Hart Smith in singles action. Rating: C+ Newcomer Womens wrestler Mia Mancini comes to the ring with a microphone in hand. She says that she is yet to win a match on SmackDown! However, she says when she does start winning, she will soon begin to dominate, before eventually becoming the Womens Champion. Rating: F- The Great Khali comes to the ring and signals with his arms around his waist that he will win the Intercontinental Championship from Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble. McIntyre then comes to the entrance-way and says that he is not afraid of the Great Khali, and that he will comfortably retain his Championship next Sunday at the Royal Rumble. Rating: C- Finlay comes to the ring with an Irish flag, and waves the flag. He then takes a microphone and says that he is proud to be Irish, and feels terrible that he can’t represent them in the Royal Rumble match next week. Dolph Ziggler then comes to the ring, and takes the microphone from Finlay. Ziggler says that if anybody should be in the Royal Rumble match that isn’t, it’s him. Ziggler then hits Finlay in the head with the microphone, knocking him to the mat, but Finlay is resilient. Finlay manages to get to his feet only to be met by a Zig-Zag from Ziggler. Ziggler then covers Finlay in the Irish flag, and says that he will soon get the respect he deserves, before heading to the back, leaving Finlay unconscious under the Irish flag. Finlay looks severely hurt which is extremely unfortunate for him as he is wrestling “The Animal”, Batista later tonight. Rating: C Natalya versus Beth Phoenix Jim Ross notes on commentary during this bout that Natalya will be competing for the Womens Championship currently held by Michelle McCool in a Triple Threat match at the Royal Rumble along with Mickie James. Mickie won her match earlier, but Natalya is not as successful tonight. Beth Phoenix gets the win here in an extremely short match, with JR noting that perhaps Beth Phoenix should be in line a title shot against whoever leaves the Royal Rumble with the Womens Championship. Beth Phoenix defeated Natalya in 2:01 by pinfall with a Glam Slam. Match Rating: C R-Truth comes to the ring doing his rap, with the crowd singing along in unison. Just as he is entering the ring he is attacked from behind by Chris Jericho. Jericho then throws R-Truth in the ring and hits a Codebreaker. Jericho takes a microphone from ringside and says that he will take on and defeat the World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker tonight in a non-title match, proving that he is the best in the World at what he does. Rating: B- Rey Mysterio comes to the ring and says that next Sunday he will once again win the Royal Rumble match, before going onto Wrestlemania and becoming the World Heavyweight Champion for a second time. However, Mysterio is soon attacked by CM Punk and Luke Gallows. Punk picks Mysterio up and hits a Go To Sleep. John Morrison, who Punk defeated in tonight’s opening match, runs to the ring to try and save his friend Rey, only to be met by a huge big boot from Gallows, the same boot that knocked Kane out earlier tonight. Punk and Gallows stand over Mysterio and Morrison, with Punk taking a microphone and promising that he will win the Royal Rumble match next Sunday. Rating: C+ The WWE Womens Champion Michelle McCool comes to the ring with a microphone in hand. She says that Natalya couldn’t even win her match tonight, and Mickie James has never been a real threat to her. McCool says that she will retain her Womens Championship at the Royal Rumble next Sunday. Rating: D+ Batista versus Finlay Jim Ross notes on commentary during this bout that Batista will be challenging The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship next Sunday. Batista builds momentum heading into the title match here in an extremely short contest, after illegally using the ropes for leverage. Batista defeated Finlay in 5:04 by pinfall, illegally using the ropes for leverage. Match Rating: B- Following the conclusion of the bout Finlay is helped to the back by medics, as Batista celebrates in the ring. The lights then go out and when they are back on The Undertaker is staring at Batista in the centre of the ring. Undertaker has a microphone and tells Batista that he will beat him at the Royal Rumble, and successfully retain his World Heavyweight Championship. Rating: A Non-Title: The Undertaker versus Chris Jericho This is a superb bout that has great wrestling and a sizzling hot crowd, who are really lifted by the tremendous performances of both men in this match. The World Heavyweight Champion ultimately gets the victory, building momentum heading into his title defence against Batista at the Royal Rumble next Sunday. The Undertaker beat Chris Jericho in 8:19 by pinfall with a Choke Slam. Match Rating: B David Hart Smith versus JTG Jim Ross notes on commentary that this main event match came to be after the Hart Dynasty were jealous of Cryme Tyme for being able to compete in the Royal Rumble match next Sunday, when the Hart Dynasty do not have a place in the prestigious match. This bout has great heat from the crowd and just as great action from the wrestlers involved, and sees JTG get the deserved victory. JTG defeated David Hart Smith in 7:45 by pinfall with a Spinning Headlock Drop. Match Rating: D+ After the conclusion of the match the gong is heard throughout the arena and the lights go out again. JTG and David Hart Smith both rush to the back and when the lights come on again the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker is standing in the centre of the ring with a microphone. Undertaker reiterates his point from earlier tonight, and says that at the Royal Rumble Batista will rest in peace. Undertaker then poses with the World Championship to close the show. Rating: A Final Rating: C- The match between The Undertaker and Chris Jericho wasn’t as good as their match from last week, but sill delivered. Hopefully Undertaker can have another great match when he defends his World Championship against Batista at the Royal Rumble.

Destiny Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Monday, Week 4, January, 2010 The following matches are confirmed to take place on tonight's edition of Monday Night RAW: The Bella Twins versus Maryse and Jillian At the Royal Rumble Maryse and Jillian will challenge for the Divas title in a Four-way match, but first they must team up against the Bellas. Alicia Fox versus Kelly Kelly Alicia Fox also has a future Divas Championship shot, but on RAW she will set her sights on the beautiful Kelly Kelly, who she has been insulting recently. Chavo Guerrero versus Primo Chavo tried to attack Primo last week on RAW, and with both of these men participating in Sunday's Royal Rumble match they will surely be looking to build momentum.
