Shane McMahon, the couple’s surviving son, was traveling behind them at the time, and barely escaped injury himself. Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, daughter of the McMahon's and Executive Vice President of the WWE, quickly declined the position of CEO and Chairman of the WWE, rather offering the position to her Shane.

Drawing what little energy he had left, Undertaker managed to sling one arm over the “World’s Largest Athlete” to pick up the win and advance to the next round. Following the match, Shane appeared atop the runway, with World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger by his side. McMahon reminded the Undertaker that he still had to face Swagger if he were to advance to the final. He ordered the match to commence, as Swagger quickly rolled up the clearly injured Deadman. As the ref attempted the quick three count, he was pulled from the ring, as a hidden Jeff hardy emerged from underneath the ring apron.

This gives him a controlling interest (72%) in the company. It is reported that McMahon intends to simply build a working agreement between the two companies, realizing the need for healthy competition; something his father could not see. This has led to speculation this deal has been in the works prior to Monday’s Raw taping, thus allowing the appearance of Jarrett and Hogan, as well as the appearance of Samoa Joe and Jeff Hardy during the Smackdown tapings. It is unclear if WWE talent will be used on TNA programming as the McMahon tradition has always been to protect its own product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuanderson2105 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I totally forgot to write up a recap of Superstars, but i really don't think it will interfere with the overall flow of the storyline. Being a "B", not much truly ever occurs that advances any plot points. But I do apologize... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuanderson2105 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 May 31, 2010 WWE Monday Night RAW <o></o> AUSTIN, TX – With the unexpected acquisition of PEI’s TNA shares, and the subsequent talent influx on Smackdown, the WWE Universe has been turned on its ear. The Rock addresses the WWE Universe Newly appointed Raw GM, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson opened the show, explaining his actions last week against Triple H. Calling it a “wake up call”, the Hollywood megastar urged Trips to see the big picture and realize that times are changing and he’s no longer a string chicken. People have grown tired of seeing him and the same old shtick. He explains that he got out while “the getting’ was good”, and he has never looked back. This did not sit well with the “King of Kings”, who confronted The Rock. Referencing such “blockbusters” as “Doom” and “Walking Tall”, Trips went on to question whom has really had the better career since the Rock’s departure. The Rock, unwilling to listen to any more of Triple H’s rant, leveled the former champ with a right cross, quickly calling for his backup in the form of Sheamus. Sheamus def. Triple H Declaring it an impromptu match by the Raw GM, Sheamus easily defeated Trips with the Crucifix Bomb, laying waste to the former World champ. The attack didn’t end there, as Sheamus continued the assault long after the bell as The Rock looked on from atop the ramp. Edge to undergo reconstructive knee surgery Having earned his spot in the Unified Heavyweight Semi-Finals, Edge certainly was not about to let a simple knee injury stop him from acquiring the most coveted prize in the WWE. However, while addressing the fans, he regretted to inform them that his career is more important than one match and his day would come. Not to be left out, Chris Jericho soon interrupted Edge’s speech, citing that he was far more deserving than Edge ever was in a quest for the Unified Heavyweight title. He reminded the fans that he was the first WWE Undisputed champion, still resting on those old laurels. This quickly brought out Shane, who, under advisement from this new WWE Executive Council, decided that Jericho would replace the injured Edge tonight in his bout against WWE Champion John Cena. DiBiase & Mike DiBiase (w/ Michael Carver) def. Skip Sheffield & Yoshi Tatsu in a Tag Team match Before the match began, Ted DiBiase introduced the newest member of Money Inc., his own brother Mike. Along with Michael Tarver, DiBiase claimed that they soon would be unstoppable, hinting at yet another member yet to be unnamed. The action was intense as Sheffield was quick to establish his legitimacy on the Raw brand, overwhelming the Million Dollar champ. However, The Cornfed Meathead’s luck would quickly change as his partner, Tatsu, leveled him with spinning heel kick. DiBiase covered and reminded Sheffield that “everybody has a price”, and raised Tatsu’s hand, welcoming the newest member of Money Inc. into the fold. Bryan Danielson def. John Morrison in Non-title Match Still sporting a bad eye received at the hands Sheffield the week early, Danielson wasted little time in defeating the “Rock and Roll Guru”, forcing him to tap out. Danielson then addressed the crowd, stating that no man on the entire Raw roster could defeat him, and unlike his tenure on NXT, he intends to keep winning, and win he shall. Hulk Hogan to act as final special guest host next week on Raw The Red and Yellow Express will roll into Miami. Seeking to capitalize on his latest acquisition, McMahon delighted the fans by telling them that the final special guest host on next week’s edition of Raw will be none other than Hulk Hogan. Melina def. Alicia Fox to become Number One Contender for the WWE Diva’s Championship In a match that saw an attempted interference by former champion Maryse, a returning Melina has become the Number One Contender for Natalya’s Diva’s Championship. After the match Maryse continued to harass the new Number One, assaulting her until a quick save was made by current champ Natalya. Unified Tag Team Champion David Hart Smith def. Evan Bourne (w/ Gail Kim) “Air” Bourne attempted use his speed, quickness, and a little from Gail Kim, to defeat ½ of the Unified Tag Team champs, but his efforts were no effort for the sheer power of Hart. After the match, Zack Ryder stormed the ring to exact revenge for his loss the week prior. However, Gail Kim had plans of her own, making the save with a low blow, sending the “Long Island Lothario” scampering back stage. John Cena attacked by Hardcore Holly In an effort to preserve his win, Jericho persuaded Hardcore Holly to ambush the champ in the dressing room. Using everything from a steel chair to a trash can, Holly laid waste to the “Chain Gang Soldier” as Jericho looked on from the doorway. Mark Henry def. Santino Marella by Disqualification Who can stop the “World’s Strongest Man” asked Mark Henry? Santino believed he could. However, Santino bit off a bit more than he could chew, serving as a rag doll to Henry. Henry dominated the “Uni-brow” before Marella gained access to a steel chair via Raw GM The Rock, who was sitting at the commentator’s table. Leveling the playing field and Mark Henry in the process, Marella earned himself a DQ for his efforts. Chris Jericho def. John Cena to advance to the Unified Heavyweight tournament finals Before the match could begin, Shane McMahon announced there would be a Special Guest Referee for the bout in the form of Hardcore Holly. With the deck stacked against him, Cena refused to quit. Nailing Jericho with an Attitude Adjustment and slapping on a the STF, Cena looked to score the upset. However, Holly refused to acknowledge Jericho’s frantic tapping, instead nailing the champ with the title belt. Regaining the upper hand, Jericho locked on the Walls of Jericho and forced Cena to tap sending him into the finals against the Undertaker on June 20<sup>th</sup> at Fatal Four Way.

Shane O’Mac introduces the World Television title and Adrenaline’s GM Marking the debut of Adrenaline, Shane delights the fans by introducing the first Adrenaline GM in the form of “Mr. ECW” himself, Paul Heyman. Heyman wastes no time getting down to brass tacks, ordering a match between two former WWE NXT stars, Skip Sheffield and Justin Gabriel later that night for the vacant title. R-Truth def. Yoshi Tatsu (w/ Michael Carver) by Disqualification In as many weeks, Money Inc. again made an example of R-Truth as Tatsu and Carver man handled the Raw superstar, earning Tatsu the DQ. However, the message had been sent as R-Truth seems to have a crosshair on him in the shape of Ted DiBiase. Joey Mercury def. Tyler Reks With the SES at his side, the ring rust on Mercury was hardly noticeable as he every trick in his arsenal to defeat Reks. Mercury’s celebration was short lived though, as CM Punk and Samoa Joe emerged from the crowd and cleared the ring of his motley crew. Heath Slater in action In his first match since getting a contract on Smackdown, Slater made short work of local competitor before taking the mic to address the WWE Universe. Stating that Sheffield couldn’t even hold his own and NXT, and he was a much more worthy opponent against Gabriel. His comments didn’t fall on deaf ears, as Adrenaline GM Heyman granted the youngsters wish and turned the one on one contest into a three-way dance. Wade Barrett def. David Otunga The former leader in the NXT Polls battled Otunga quickly out of the gate, scoring a near pin fall minutes into the match up. Try as he may, Otunga never managed to gain the upper hand in this bout, falling victim to a fireman’s slam and roll up for the loss. Justin Gabriel def. Skip Sheffield and Heath Slater to become World Television Champion The main event of the evening featured three of the former NXT competitions brightest stars, as Slater and Gabriel joined forces against the larger Sheffield. With Sheffield seeming out of the way, the two turned on each other, battling from post to post, with neither getting a leg up on the other. Sheffield however was not out, and managed to toss Slater from the ring before receiving a massive DDT from Gabriel. Hitting a 450 splash on the fallen Cornfed Meathead, Gabriel covered for the win and the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
