Monday Night RAW begins with the WWE Champion the Miz making his way to the ring. Miz says that last night at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View he defeated both Primo as well as Mark Henry in the main event Triple Threat match to successfully defend his WWE Championship. Miz says that in tonight’s Monday Night RAW non-title main event he will take on and defeat Heath Slater of the New Nexus. Miz mentions that Slater and his tag team partner Justin Gabriel failed to win the WWE Tag Team Championships last night as Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston defeated Slater and Gabriel as well as their fellow New Nexus members David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty in a Triple Threat tag team match to retain their WWE Tag Team Championships.

The WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder comes to the ring and proclaims that he is a little upset that his team of Sheamus Ted DiBiase as well as both Jimmy and Jey Uso failed to win their Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match last night at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View as RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan and his team of Triple H, John Morrison, Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov were victorious. Ryder says that two of his team-mates will have a chance to win matches tonight as Sheamus takes on Triple H whilst Ted DiBiase will face Alex Riley later tonight on Monday Night RAW. The Anonymous RAW General Manager then sends another email to Michael Cole announcing that at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Ryder will be putting his US Championship on the line against Daniel Bryan in a Tables match.

Match Rating: C+

One half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Evan Bourne makes his way to the ring. Bourne says that he is pleased that he and Kofi Kingston were able to defeat Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel as well as fellow New Nexus members David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View last night to retain their WWE Tag Team Championships in a Triple Threat tag team match. Heath Slater then joins Bourne in the ring and announces that at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Slater and Gabriel will be challenging Bourne and Kingston for the WWE Tag Team Championships in a Ladder match.

The WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder returns to the ring, this time with Primo. Primo says that at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View he will defeat both Mark Henry as well as the WWE Champion the Miz in their Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match to become the new WWE Champion. Primo says that he was simply unlucky that he was unable to win the title at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View last night as Miz defeated both Henry and Primo in the main event Triple Threat match to retain his WWE Championship. Primo also says that he will be watching tonight’s Monday Night RAW non-title main event very closely as Miz takes on Heath Slater. Primo then passes the microphone to Ryder who says that his team of Sheamus, Ted DiBiase as well as both Jimmy and Jey Uso were unfortunate to lose to RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan and his team of Triple H, John Morrison, Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov in the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match last night, but that Ryder will get revenge against Bryan at TLC when he defeats him in a Tables match to retain his US title.

Rating: C+

Natalya comes to the ring and says that she is pleased that she was on the winning team at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View last night as the WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix and her team of Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn, Rosa Mendes and Natalya defeated Maryse and her team of Brie Bella, Alicia Fox, Layla and Michelle McCool in their Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. Maryse then joins Natalya in the ring and announces that at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View she will be challenging Beth Phoenix for the WWE Divas Championship, not Natalya. Natalya seems upset by this.

Rating: C-

Heath Slater returns to the ring with his New Nexus tag team partner Justin Gabriel. Slater says that even though he and Gabriel failed to win the WWE Tag Team Championships last night at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View as Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne defeated Slater and Gabriel as well as fellow New Nexus members David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty to retain their titles, they will win them at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View when they challenge Bourne and Kingston for the WWE Tag Team Championships in a Ladder match.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown!:

World Champ The Undertaker & IC Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show & Finlay

This past Sunday at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View the Undertaker defeated Ezekiel Jackson to successfully defend his World Heavyweight Championship whilst SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler and his team of the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre and JTG defeated Randy Orton and his team of Edge, Big Show, Kane and Finlay in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. In tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown! tag team main event the World Champion will team with the Intercontinental Champion as Undertaker and Rhodes team up to take on the team of Big Show and Finlay. Tonight will be the first time that this match has ever taken place.

Ezekiel Jackson versus Drew McIntyre

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! the “Personification of Domination” Ezekiel Jackson will take on the “Sinister Scotsman” Drew McIntyre in singles action. This past Sunday at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View Ezekiel Jackson failed in his quest to become the new World Heavyweight Champion as the Undertaker defeated McIntyre to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. Drew McIntyre was also in action at Survivor Series as SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler and his team of the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, McIntyre and JTG defeated Randy Orton and his team of Edge, Kane, Big Show and Finlay in their Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. Tonight will be the first time that Jackson has ever faced McIntyre in singles action on SmackDown! although they have plenty of history this year with Jackson holding a tag team victory over McIntyre from back in January when Jackson as well as one half of the current WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston, JTG and Trent Barreta defeated the team of McIntyre, SmackDown!’s current Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio and Tyler Reks in an eight-man tag team match. Both Jackson and McIntyre were also both involved in the Royal Rumble match back in January, which was ultimately won by the “Viper” Randy Orton. Jackson and McIntyre were most recently both involved in the same match at the WWE Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View back in July when Ziggler defeated Jackson, McIntyre, Kingston, the current Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes as well as Christian to win the SmackDown! Money in the Bank ladder match.

Edge versus JTG

Edge and JTG were on opposing teams this past Sunday at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View as SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler and his team of the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre and JTG defeated Randy Orton and his team of Edge, Big Show, Kane and Finlay in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. Tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! Edge will go one on one with JTG hoping to achieve a victory that his team failed to gain on Sunday. Tonight will be the first ever singles meeting between Edge and JTG although both men were involved in the Battle Royal prior to this year’s Wrestlemania, which was won by the mysterious God.

Kane versus Chavo Guerrero

Kane was also on the losing team this past Sunday at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View as SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler and his team of the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre and JTG defeated Randy Orton and his team of Edge, Kane, Big Show and Finlay in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. Tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! Kane will look to get back to winning ways as he takes on Chavo Guerrero in singles action. Tonight will be the second match between Kane and Chavo on SmackDown! this year after Kane defeated Chavo back in September.

God versus Tyler Reks

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! the mysterious God will take on the “Dreadlocked Demolition Man” Tyler Reks. Tonight will be just the second ever meeting in singles competition between God and Reks after Reks defeated God on an episode of the now defunct WWE Superstars back in January. Both of these men were also both involved in the Royal Rumble match earlier this year, which was ultimately won by the “Viper” Randy Orton.

Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn & Rosa Mendes vs. Layla, Michelle McCool & Vickie Guerrero

Last night at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View the WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix and her team of Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn, Rosa Mendes and Natalya defeated Maryse and her team of Layla, Michelle McCool, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match. We learnt this past Monday on Monday Night RAW that at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Beth Phoenix will be putting her Divas title on the line against Maryse, but all six Divas in action tonight will be looking to impress as Kelly teams with Kaitlyn and Rosa Mendes to take on Layla, Michelle McCool and Vickie Guerrero in a Six-Diva tag team match. This match has taken place ten times before on Friday Night SmackDown!, with Kelly’s team previously picking up the all-important victory on all ten occasions.

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! we will hear from the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes as well as Finlay before they compete against one another in tonight’s tag team main event as Rhodes teams with the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker to take on Big Show and Finlay.

Quick Picks:

World Champ The Undertaker & IC Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show & Finlay

Ezekiel Jackson versus Drew McIntyre

Edge versus JTG

Kane versus Chavo Guerrero

God versus Tyler Reks

Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn & Rosa Mendes vs. Layla, Michelle McCool & Vickie Guerrero

(Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month. This is the final show of this month’s contest and the overall winner will be able to pick whether the winner of the upcoming Royal Rumble match will come from Monday Night RAW or Friday Night SmackDown!)

Both Sheamus and Triple H were also opponents at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View last month as RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan and his team of Triple H, John Morrison, Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov defeated the WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder and his team of Sheamus, Ted DiBiase, as well as both Jimmy and Jey Uso in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match.

Both Riley and DiBiase were also both involved in the Battle Royal prior to this year’s Wrestlemania, which was won by the mysterious God of Friday Night SmackDown!

Also tonight on Monday Night RAW we will hear from the WWE Champion the Miz before he takes on New Nexus member Justin Gabriel in the evening’s non-title main event.

Daniel Bryan will not be present at RAW tonight as he trains for the Championship match back in his home town. What will Ryder have to say about Bryan whilst he’s not there? Is Ryder confident that he will be able to retain his Championship in his first ever Tables match?

We will also hear from one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Evan Bourne tonight on Monday Night RAW as well as one of his opponents at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View, Heath Slater.

Speaking of Primo, he will be present on Monday Night RAW tonight to discuss his upcoming Championship match at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View as Primo and Mark Henry will challenge the Miz for the WWE Championship in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.

Divas Maryse and Natalya will also be present tonight on Monday Night RAW as Maryse continues to prepare for her title opportunity at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View when she will challenge the WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix for the Divas title.

Finally, we will hear from both Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel tonight on Monday Night RAW as the New Nexus members prepare to challenge Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston for the WWE Tag Team Championships in a Ladders match at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View. Gabriel will also be in action in tonight’s non-title main event against the WWE Champion the Miz.

Before that, however, Miz must team with Daniel Bryan in tonight’s Monday Night RAW tag team main event to take on the team of Zack Ryder and Mark Henry.

Santino Marella versus Sheamus

Tonight will be the first time that Sheamus has faced Santino in singles action this year although they were opponents last month at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View as Sheamus teamed with the WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder and his team of Ted DiBiase as well as both Jimmy and Jey Uso as they lost to RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan and his team of Triple H, John Morrison, Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match.

The young and talented Alex Riley will also be in action tonight on Monday Night RAW as he takes on the “Fortunate Son” Ted DiBiase.

Tonight will be the fourth singles meeting between the pair this year on RAW, with Eve winning all three of their previous matches, defeating Alicia back in February and then twice back in March. Eve also has several tag team victories over Alicia as Eve and Gail Kim defeated the team of Alicia Fox and Melina on five episodes of RAW, one in February, one in March and one the next month in April as well as Eve and Gail defeating Alicia and Melina once in August and another time in September. Eve also teamed with Natalya on an episode of RAW back in August to defeat the team of Maryse and Alicia Fox.

World Champion The Undertaker & Jack Swagger vs. Big Show & Ezekiel Jackson

At the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View the Undertaker will put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line in a Two out of Three Falls match against the Big Show whilst Jack Swagger will take on Ezekiel Jackson in singles action.

Tonight will be the very first time that this match has ever taken place.

Kane versus JTG

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! the “Brawler from the Hood” JTG will take on the “Big Red Monster” Kane in singles competition. These two have faced one another twice before on Friday Night SmackDown!, with JTG coming up short and losing to Kane on both occasions. Kane defeated JTG in August and once again in October. These two men were also both opponents last month at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View when SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler and his team of the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre and JTG defeated Randy Orton and his team of Kane, Big Show, Edge and Finlay in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match.

Edge versus Drew McIntyre

The “Rated R Superstar” Edge will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he takes on the “Sinister Scotsman” Drew McIntyre. McIntyre and Edge have met in singles competition twice before this year, with McIntyre defeating Edge on an episode of SmackDown! back in May and then defeating Edge again at the WWE Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View the next month in June.

Trent Barreta versus Quentin Aries

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! the high-flying daredevil Trent Barreta will take on the arrogant Quentin Aries. These two have faced each other once before on SmackDown!, back in March of this year, with Barreta picking up the all-important victory on that particular occasion. Both Barreta and Aries were also involved in the Royal Rumble match back in January, which was ultimately won by the currently injured “Viper” Randy Orton.

God versus Adam Pearce

The mysterious God will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he once again takes on Adam Pearce. God recorded his first victory on five attempts against Pearce last week on SmackDown! after previously losing to him on an episode of the now defunct WWE Superstars back in April, twice in June on SmackDown! and once losing to him again on an episode of SmackDown! last month in November. Can God pick up his second victory in as many weeks against Pearce or will Adam Pearce be able to get back to winning ways with a victory?

Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn & Rosa Mendes vs. Layla, Michelle McCool & Vickie Guerrero

A huge Six-Diva tag team match will also take place tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn and Rosa Mendes will take on the team of Layla, Michelle McCool and the SmackDown!

We do know that Ziggler will not be at SmackDown! tonight as he trains at home for the title match at the TLC Pay-Per-View, so what will Rhodes and Finlay have to say to one another in Ziggler’s absence?

Finally, we will hear from one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he and Evan Bourne prepare to put their WWE Tag Team Championships on the line in a Ladder match against Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel of the New Nexus at the upcoming WWE TLC Pay-Per-View.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW:

Non-Title: WWE Champion The Miz versus Epico

This Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View the Miz will put his WWE Championship on the line in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against both Primo and Mark Henry. Before that, however, he must face Primo’s cousin Epico tonight in Epico’s first ever match on Monday Night RAW, in the evening’s non-title main event. Epico will also be in action this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View as he will take on “The Game” Triple H. Epico couldn’t have had a much more challenging debut as Miz is undefeated since losing a tag team main event back on RAW in October when Primo and the current WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder defeated the Miz and John Morrison. Can Epico begin his WWE career with a big upset victory tonight and weaken the WWE Champion the Miz for his cousin Primo heading into the WWE Championship match this Sunday?

Alex Riley versus Sheamus

Also tonight on Monday Night RAW the promising young upstart Alex Riley will be in action as he takes on the “Celtic Warrior” Sheamus in singles competition. Tonight will be the first ever one on one match between Riley and Sheamus however they were both involved in the Battle Royal prior to this year’s Wrestlemania, which was ultimately won by the mysterious God of Friday Night SmackDown! Sheamus got back to winning ways last week on RAW with a victory over Santino Marella after before that having lost two matches in a row to Triple H. Sheamus will be looking for another all-important victory against Riley tonight.

Vladimir Kozlov versus Ted DiBiase

The “Fortunate Son” Ted DiBiase will also be in action tonight on Monday Night Raw as he will face the “Moscow Muler” Vladimir Kozlov. Tonight will be the second time that Kozlov and DiBiase have faced off on RAW this year after DiBiase picked up an all-important victory over Kozlov back in June. Both DiBiase and Kozlov were also both involved in the Battle Royal prior to this year’s Wrestlemania, which was ultimately won by the mysterious God of Friday Night SmackDown! More recently, DiBiase and Kozlov were on opposing teams last month at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View as Kozlov joined Santino Marella, Triple H and John Morrison on the RAW Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan’s team as they defeated the WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder and his team of Sheamus, DiBiase as well as both Jimmy and Jey Uso in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match.

We will also hear from the WWE Champion, the Miz, tonight on Monday Night RAW before he takes on Epico in the evening’s non-title main event. This Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Miz will put his WWE Championship on the line in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against both Primo as well as Mark Henry whilst Epico, Primo’s cousin, will take on Triple H this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View. Henry and Primo will also be on RAW tonight and we will see an appearance from them, just as we will see an appearance from Epico before he makes his RAW debut in the evening’s main event. Triple H, Epico’s opponent this Sunday, will also be on RAW tonight as will the WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder. Ryder will put his US Championship up for grabs in a Tables match against RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View, and Bryan will also be on RAW tonight as both he and Ryder prepare for the important Championship contest. One half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Evan Bourne will also be on RAW tonight before he and Kofi Kingston put their WWE Tag Team Championships on the line this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View in a Ladder match against Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel of the New Nexus.

As well as hearing from one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Evan Bourne, we will also hear from New Nexus member Heath Slater tonight on Monday Night RAW. This Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston will put their WWE Tag Team Championships on the line in a Ladder match against Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel. An in-ring confrontation is expected between Bourne and Slater tonight, and Slater has been attacking Bourne in recent weeks. Will physicality break out so close to the WWE Tag Team Championships Ladder match this Sunday?

We will also hear from Maryse tonight on Monday Night RAW before she challenges the WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix for the WWE Divas Championship this Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View. Natalya will also be on RAW tonight and her and Maryse are expected to have a verbal confrontation in the ring. It is common knowledge that Natalya believes that she should be the one challenging Beth Phoenix for the WWE Divas Championship this Sunday, not Maryse. What will these two blonde Divas with such disdain for one another have to say? We’ll find out tonight.

Finally, as well as hearing from Heath Slater we will also hear from his New Nexus tag team partner Justin Gabriel tonight on Monday Night RAW. This Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Slater and Gabriel will challenge Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston for the WWE Tag Team Championships in a Ladder match. Gabriel was very vocal in regards to the WWE Champion the Miz last week on RAW, implying that Miz was lucky to defeat him two weeks ago in RAW’s non-title main event. Will Gabriel have anything to say to the WWE Champion again tonight? Miz will put his title on the line in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match this Sunday against both Mark Henry as well as Primo.

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: WWE Champion The Miz versus Epico

Alex Riley versus Sheamus

Vladimir Kozlov versus Ted DiBiase

Match Rating: C+

Monday Night RAW begins with the WWE Champion the Miz making his way to the ring. Miz says that this Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View he will defeat both Primo as well as Mark Henry in their Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match to successfully retain his WWE Championship. Miz also says that he will defeat Primo’s cousin, Epico, in tonight’s non-title main event. Before Miz can say anything else, however, Mark Henry, the WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder, Primo and Epico rush to the ring and all four men assault the Miz. Ryder hits Miz across the skull with his United States Championship title belt before picking up the microphone and declaring that this Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View he will defeat RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan in a Tables match to retain his United States Championship. Primo then picks Miz up only for Epico to hit him with a Backstabber. Epico then says that not only will he defeat Miz tonight but he will defeat Triple H this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View. Finally, Mark Henry picks Miz up again and hits him with the World’s Strongest Man. Triple H, Daniel Bryan and one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Evan Bourne then rush to the ring in aid of the Miz. Triple H clotheslines Primo and Epico out of the ring. Bryan hits Ryder with a dropkick that sends him fleeing from the ring and Bourne kicks Henry in the jaw and Henry too leaves the ring and heads to the back. Evan Bourne then picks up the microphone and says that this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View he and Kofi Kingston will defeat Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel of the New Nexus in their Ladder match to successfully retain their WWE Tag Team Championships.

Rating: C+

Evan Bourne, one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, remains in the ring as RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan and Triple H help the WWE Champion the Miz to his feet and the trio leave the ring together. Bourne again reiterates that this Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View he and Kofi Kingston will defeat Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel of the New Nexus in their Ladder match to retain their WWE Tag Team Championships. Slater then rushes to the ring and kicks Bourne in the groin.

Rating: C

Maryse comes to the ring and promises that this Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View she will defeat the WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix to become the new Divas Champion once again. Natalya then joins Maryse in the ring and tells her that she hopes Beth Phoenix retains her title this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View.

Rating: D+

Heath Slater of the New Nexus returns to the ring, this time with his tag team partner and fellow New Nexus member Justin Gabriel. Slater says that after the beating he gave Evan Bourne earlier he is sure that he and Gabriel can defeat Bourne and Kofi Kingston in a Ladder match this Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions. Slater then passes the microphone to Gabriel who says that two weeks ago in Monday Night RAW’s non-title main event he was very close to defeating the WWE Champion the Miz. Gabriel says that he knows he is better than the Miz and will be watching tonight’s non-title main event very closely as the Miz takes on Epico. Gabriel then says that he doesn’t think the Miz will be able to retain his WWE Championship this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View when he puts it on the line in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against both Primo as well as Mark Henry. Gabriel does also say that he wishes Epico the best of luck both tonight and in his match against Triple H this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View.

Rating: B-

Brie Bella comes to the ring and says that she is the most dominant Diva on Monday Night RAW. Eve then joins Brie in the ring and tells her to stop being so arrogant. Brie then slaps Eve and a brawl breaks out between the two of them before Alicia Fox comes to the ring and helps Brie attack Eve. Gail Kim then comes to the ring but instead of helping her friend Eve she shockingly joins Brie and Alicia in kicking Eve whilst she is lying on the mat, defenceless.

Rating: D+

Vladimir Kozlov versus Ted DiBiase

In an extremely short match, Ted DiBiase defeated Vladimir Kozlov in 3:05 by pinfall with a Dream Street.

Match Rating: C+

Alex Riley versus Sheamus

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Sheamus defeated Alex Riley in 8:26 by pinfall with a Crucifix Powerbomb.

Match Rating: B-

(Harvey Wippleman feels that the fans have become a little bored with Sheamus, and that perhaps a turn or a gimmick change would freshen him up and give him a boost.)

In a bout that had solid in-ring action and average heat, The Miz defeated Epico in 18:22 by pinfall with a Skull Crushing Finale.

Match Rating: D-

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown!:

World Champ Undertaker, IC Champ Rhodes & Swagger vs. Show, Finlay & Jackson

This Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View the Undertaker will put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line in a Two out of Three Falls match against the Big Show, whilst the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes will defend his Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat Chairs match against Finlay as well as SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler. Jack Swagger will also be in action this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View as he takes on Ezekiel Jackson in singles action. Before Sunday, however, a huge six-man tag team match will take place in tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown! main event as Undertaker will team with Cody Rhodes and Jack Swagger to take on the team of Big Show, Finlay and Ezekiel Jackson. Tonight will be the first time that this match has ever taken place.

Edge versus JTG

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! the “Rated R Superstar” Edge will be in action as he takes on the “Brawler from the Hood” JTG. Tonight will be Edge’s third match with JTG on SmackDown! after JTG defeated Edge at the end of November and then got another victory over the former World Champion just two weeks ago. Both JTG and Edge were also both involved in the Battle Royal prior to this year’s Wrestlemania, which was won by the mysterious God. Edge and JTG were also opponents last month at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View as Edge joined Kane, Big Show and Finlay on Randy Orton’s team as they lost to SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler and his team of the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre and JTG in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match.

Kane versus Adam Pearce

The “Big Red Monster” Kane will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he takes on a relative newcomer to SmackDown! in Adam Pearce. Tonight will be the first ever match between these two men to ever take place.

God versus Drew McIntyre

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! the mysterious God will take on the “Sinister Scotsman” Drew McIntyre. Tonight will be McIntyre’s third match with God on SmackDown! after McIntyre defeated God on an episode of SmackDown! back in July, but God himself got a victory over McIntyre back in October. God and McIntyre were also both involved in this year’s Royal Rumble match back in January, which was ultimately won by the currently injured “Viper” Randy Orton.

Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn & Rosa Mendes vs. Layla, Michelle McCool & Vickie Guerrero

A huge Six-Diva tag team match will also take place tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as Kelly Kelly and her team of Kaitlyn and Rosa Mendes will take on the trio of Layla, Michelle McCool and the SmackDown! General Manager Vickie Guerrero. This match has taken place several times this year, with Kelly’s team winning on all previous occasions thus far? Can Kelly and her team get another victory tonight? All Divas will likely be looking to impress in the hope of getting a future shot at Beth Phoenix’s WWE Divas Championship, which she will be defending against Maryse this Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View.

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! we will hear from the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker before he teams with the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes as well as Jack Swagger in the evening’s Six-Man tag team main event to take on the team of Big Show, Finlay and Ezekiel Jackson. This Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View the Undertaker will put his World Championship on the line in a Two out of Three Falls match against the Big Show whilst Cody Rhodes will defend his Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat Chairs match against Finlay as well as SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler. Swagger will also be in action this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View as he will take on Ezekiel Jackson in singles competition.

There will also be an in-ring verbal confrontation between the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes and Finlay tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! before they compete against one another in the evening’s Six-Man tag team main event as Rhodes teams with the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker and Jack Swagger to take on the team of Big Show, Finlay and Ezekiel Jackson. This Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Rhodes will put his Intercontinental Championship on the line in a Triple Threat Chairs match against both Finlay as well as SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler whilst the Undertaker will defend his World Heavyweight Championship in a Two out of Three Falls match against the Big Show. Jack Swagger will also be in action at the TLC Pay-Per-View this Sunday as he takes on Ezekiel Jackson in singles action.

As well as hearing from the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes and the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker, we will also hear from their partner tonight in Friday Night SmackDown!’s Six-Man tag team main event, Jack Swagger. This Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Jack Swagger will take on Ezekiel Jackson in singles action but before that he will team with Undertaker and Rhodes tonight to take on the team of Big Show, Finlay and Ezekiel Jackson. Undertaker will put his World Championship on the line this Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View in a Two out of Three Falls match against the Big Show whilst Rhodes will defend his title against Finlay as well as SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler in a Triple Threat Chairs match.

The following contests are confirmed to take place at tonight’s WWE Tables, Ladders & Chairs Pay-Per-View:

WWE Championship: Tables, Ladders & Chairs: Miz © vs. Mark Henry vs. Primo

On an episode of Monday Night RAW back in June of this year the Miz defeated former New Nexus Leader CM Punk in a “Loser Leaves WWE” match to become the new WWE Champion for a third time. Since then Miz has gone on to make six successful title defences, defeating Mark Henry and Sheamus in Triple Threat matches at the WWE Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View in July, at Summerslam in August, and at the WWE Night of Champions Pay-Per-View in September. Miz then retained the title in a Hell in a Cell match against Mark Henry at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View in October and most recently defeated Henry and Primo in Triple Threat matches at the WWE Bragging Rights Pay-Per-View and at Survivor Series last month. Tonight Miz will make his seventh title defence in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against both Henry and Primo. Miz has never lost in a match in which Henry and Primo were both involved and last month on RAW teamed with RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan to defeat Henry and Primo in a tag team match.

World Championship: Two out of Three Falls: The Undertaker © vs. Big Show

At the WWE Night of Champions Pay-Per-View back in September the Undertaker defeated both Alberto Del Rio, the former Champion, as well as Edge in a Triple Threat match to become the World Heavyweight Champion for a fourth time. Since then Undertaker has made three title defences, defeating Edge in a Hell in a Cell match and most recently defeating Ezekiel Jackson at the Bragging Rights Pay-Per-View as well as at Survivor Series last month. Tonight Undertaker will make his fourth title defence as he takes on the Big Show in a Two out of Three Falls match. Undertaker is undefeated against the Big Show in all seven matches that they have both participated in together this year on Friday Night SmackDown!

WWE Tag Team Championships: Ladder Match: AirBOOM! © vs. Slater & Gabriel

Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne will put their WWE Tag Team Championships up for grabs, literally, tonight as they defend against Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel of the New Nexus in a Ladder match. Kingston and Bourne won the WWE Tag Team Championships back in May at the Over the Limit Pay-Per-View and have since then gone on to make six title defences, including most recently defeating Slater and Gabriel as well as their fellow New Nexus members David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty in Triple Threat tag team matches at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View in October, the WWE Bragging Rights Pay-Per-View as well as at Survivor Series last month.

WWE IC Title: Chairs Match: Cody Rhodes © vs. Finlay vs. Mr. MITB Ziggler

At the WWE Over the Limit Pay-Per-View back in May “Dashing” Cody Rhodes defeated Ezekiel Jackson to become the new WWE Intercontinental Champion for the very first time. Since then, Rhodes has gone on to make four successful title defences, including defeating both Jackson as well as Friday Night SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler in Triple Threat matches at Summerslam, at the WWE Night of Champions Pay-Per-View in September and at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View.

WWE US Championship: Tables Match: Zack Ryder © vs. Mr. MITB Daniel Bryan

Zack Ryder will make the second defence of his WWE United States Championship tonight as he puts it on the line in a Tables match against Monday Night RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan.

Ezekiel Jackson versus Jack Swagger

Also tonight Ezekiel Jackson will take on the “All American American” Jack Swagger in singles action. These two have only faced off in singles competition once before, with Swagger defeating Jackson on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown! back in March. Swagger also recently has two tag team victories over Jackson as this week on SmackDown! Swagger teamed with the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes and the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker to defeat Jackson, Big Show and Finlay in a Six-Man tag team match. The week before that, Undertaker and Swagger defeated the team of Big Show and Jackson.

Triple H versus Epico

Epico, the cousin of Primo, will also be in action tonight as he competes in just his second ever WWE match as he takes on “The Game” Triple H. Epico lost his debut match to WWE Champion the Miz in last week’s Monday Night RAW non-title main event.

WWE Divas Championship: Beth Phoenix © versus Maryse

The WWE Divas Championship will also be on the line tonight as Beth Phoenix puts her title on the line against Maryse. Beth Phoenix won the Divas title for the very first time back in June at the Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View and has since then gone on to make four successful title defences.

WWE IC Title: Chairs Match: Cody Rhodes © vs. Finlay vs. Mr. MITB Ziggler

In a bout that had great heat and great wrestling action, "Dashing" Cody Rhodes defeated Finlay and Dolph Ziggler in 18:29 when "Dashing" Cody Rhodes defeated Finlay by pinfall with a Cross Rhodes. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes makes defence number 5 of his WWE Intercontinental title.

Match Rating: C

(“Dashing” Cody Rhodes feels that he can perform better if used in matches that suit his skills, and putting him in a Hardcore Based match does not play to his strengths.)

(Finlay also feels that he can perform better if used in matches that suit his skills, and putting him in a Hardcore Based match does not play to his strengths.)

(Dolph Ziggler also feels that he can perform better if used in matches that suit his skills, and putting him in a Hardcore Based match does not play to his strengths.)

We cut backstage to find the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker standing in a dark room staring into the camera. He says that he will defeat Big Show in their Two out of Three Falls match tonight to retain his World Heavyweight Championship once again. Undertaker then says that he will continue to bring darkness to Friday Night SmackDown! throughout the rest of this year and into 2012. Undertaker says that 2012 will not be the end of the World, but tonight may be the end of the Big Show. He says that tonight the Big Show will rest in peace.

Rating: A*

We cut to the backstage interview area to find Scott Stanford standing by with the WWE Champion, the Miz. Stanford asks Miz how he feels heading into tonight’s main event, when he will put his WWE Championship on the line in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match against both Primo as well as Mark Henry. Miz says that he is of course confident heading into his title defence, and he will once again defeat the over-rated Primo and that fat waste of space Mark Henry to retain his WWE Championship.

We cut backstage to find Primo in his locker-room preparing for the evening’s main event, when he will join Mark Henry in challenging the Miz for the WWE Championship in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. Primo’s cousin Epico then walks into the locker-room, and the two embrace. Primo says that he is very proud of Epico for the way he competed in his match against Triple H earlier; Primo says that even though Epico lost he still put in a great effort. Epico says that the focus is now on Primo winning the WWE Championship. The pair hug once again, and Epico wishes his cousin luck before leaving the room to let Primo continue to prepare.

John Morrison comes to the ring and says that he is focused on winning back the WWE United States Championship, and lets Zack Ryder know that he will be coming for his title next month at the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View. Before Morrison can say anything else, David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty of the New Nexus rush to the ring and begin to assault Morrison. Otunga hits Morrison with a Spinebuster and then Otunga and McGuillicutty stomp on Morrison before Sheamus surprisingly rushes to the ring to make the save. Otunga and McGuillicutty at first think Sheamus will aid them in attacking Morrison but once it’s clear that Sheamus is trying to help Morrison the New Nexus members flee the ring and head to the back. Sheamus then helps Morrison to his feet.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW:

WWE Champion Miz & John Morrison vs. US Champion Zack Ryder & Mark Henry

Last night at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View the Miz defeated both Primo as well as Mark Henry in the evening’s Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs main event to successfully retain his WWE Championship. Zack Ryder also retained his United States Championship last night at the TLC Pay-Per-View as he defeated RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan in a Tables match. John Morrison also made an appearance at TLC last night, claiming that he would be coming for Ryder’s United States Championship at the upcoming Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View before he was attacked by New Nexus members David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty. Fortunately, Sheamus saved Morrison from the assault at the hands of Otunga and McGuillicutty and Morrison is now fit enough to compete in tonight’s Monday Night RAW tag team main event as he teams with the Miz to take on the team of Ryder and Mark Henry. This match has taken place once before, back in October, when Henry and Ryder picked up the victory over Miz and Morrison on a previous main event of RAW.

Triple H versus Husky Harris

Also tonight on Monday Night RAW “The Game” Triple H will be in action as he takes on Husky Harris of the New Nexus. Last night at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View the “Cerebral Assassin” was victorious in his match against Primo’s cousin, Epico, and will look to pick up another all-important victory tonight. Triple H and Harris have met twice before in singles action on RAW, with Triple H defeating Harris two weeks in a row back in August.

Also tonight on Monday Night RAW we will hear from the WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder before he teams with Mark Henry in the evening’s tag team main event to take on the team of the WWE Champion the Miz and John Morrison. Last night at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Ryder defeated RAW’s Money in the Bank winner Daniel Bryan in a Tables match to successfully retain his United States Championship, but later in the evening Morrison claimed that he will be coming for Ryder’s United States title at the upcoming Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View. Morrison was then attacked last night by New Nexus members David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty, before being saved by Sheamus. The Miz was also in action in last night’s Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs main event as he defeated both Primo as well as Mark Henry to successfully retain his WWE Championship.

We will also hear from the WWE Champion the Miz tonight on Monday Night RAW before he teams with John Morrison in the evening’s tag team main event to take on the team of the WWE United States Champion Zack Ryder and Mark Henry. Last night at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Miz defeated both Primo as well as Henry in the evening’s Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs main event to successfully retain his WWE Championship.

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown!:

World Champion Undertaker & IC Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show & Kane

This past Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View the Undertaker defeated Big Show in a Two out of Three Falls match to successfully retain his World Heavyweight Championship whilst the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes defeated both Friday Night SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler as well as Finlay in a Triple Threat Chairs match to retain his Intercontinental Championship. Tonight, in the evening’s tag team main event, Undertaker will team with Rhodes to take on the team of Big Show and the Undertaker’s brother, Kane. Tonight will be the first time that this particular tag team match has ever taken place.

Edge versus Drew McIntyre

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! the “Rated R Superstar” Edge will be in action as he takes on the “Sinister Scotsman” Drew McIntyre. McIntyre and Edge have previously met three times before in singles competition, with McIntyre defeating Edge on an episode of SmackDown! back in May as well as two weeks ago as well as defeating him back in June at the WWE Fatal Four-Way Pay-Per-View. Edge and McIntyre were also on opposing teams last month at the WWE Survivor Series Pay-Per-View as McIntyre joined the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger and JTG on SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler’s team as they defeated Randy Orton and his team of Edge, Kane, Big Show and Finlay in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match.

God versus Cody Deaner

The mysterious God will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he will take on newcomer Cody Deaner, making his SmackDown! debut tonight. God was victorious last week on SmackDown! against Drew McIntyre, can he pick up another all-important victory tonight?

Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn & Rosa Mendes vs. Layla, Michelle McCool & Vickie Guerrero

There will also be a huge Six-Diva tag team match taking place tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as Kelly Kelly will team with Kaitlyn and Rosa Mendes to take on the team of Layla, Michelle McCool and the SmackDown! General Manager Vickie Guerrero. This match has taken place multiple times recently on SmackDown!, with Kelly’s team coming up as the victors on all previous occasions. No doubt all of the Divas competing tonight would love a shot at the WWE Divas Championship, but we learnt this past week on Monday Night RAW that Maryse will once again challenge Beth Phoenix for the Divas Championship at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View.

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! we will hear from the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker before he competes in the evening’s main event as he teams with the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes to take on the team of Big Show and the Undertaker’s brother, Kane. This past Sunday at the WWE TLC Pay-Per-View Undertaker defeated Big Show in their Two out of Three Falls match to successfully retain his World Heavyweight Championship. “Dashing” Cody Rhodes also successfully retained his Intercontinental Championship this past Sunday at the TLC Pay-Per-View as he defeated both Finlay as well as SmackDown!’s Money in the Bank winner Dolph Ziggler in a Triple Threat Chairs match.

Quick Picks:

World Champion Undertaker & IC Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show & Kane

Edge versus Drew McIntyre

God versus Cody Deaner

Kelly Kelly, Kaityn & Rosa Mendes vs. Layla, Michelle McCool & Vickie Guerrero

(Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month. This is the final show of this month’s contest and the overall winner will be able to pick a Superstar to participate in an Elimination Chamber match at the upcoming WWE Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View.)

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown!:

World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker & Jack Swagger vs. Big Show & Kane

At the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View the Undertaker will put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Big Show and Kane. Jack Swagger will also be in action at the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View, as he will be one of 30 Superstars competing in the Royal Rumble match. Before that, however, Undertaker will team with Jack Swagger tonight in the main event of the first Friday Night SmackDown! of the new year to take on the team of Big Show and Kane. Tonight will be the first time that this particular tag team contest has ever taken place, although in last week’s SmackDown! tag team main event Undertaker teamed with the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes to defeat Big Show and Kane. Can the World Champion win again tonight with Swagger as his partner?

Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn & Rosa Mendes vs. Layla, Michelle McCool & Vickie Guerrero

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! a huge Six-Diva tag team match will take place as Kelly Kelly will team with Kaitlyn and Rosa Mendes to take on the team of Layla, Michelle McCool and the SmackDown! General Manager Vickie Guerrero. This match has taken place several times before on SmackDown! recently with Kelly’s team being victorious in all previous occasions. Will a new year lead to a first ever victory for Team Lay-Cool and Vickie? All six Divas will likely be looking to impress tonight in the hope of getting a future opportunity to challenge for the WWE Divas Championship. Beth Phoenix, the current Divas Champion, will of course be defending her title against Maryse at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View.

We will also hear from the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! before he teams with Jack Swagger in the evening’s main event to take on the team of Big Show and Kane. At the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View Undertaker will put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Big Show and Kane whilst Jack Swagger will compete in the 30 Man Royal Rumble match.

Another man that will be competing in the Royal Rumble match at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View is the WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes. We will hear from Rhodes tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he aims to not only hold onto the Intercontinental Championship heading into Wrestlemania but also hopes to win the Royal Rumble match and challenge for a World Championship in the Wrestlemania main event. God will also be on SmackDown! tonight following his loss to Cody Deaner last week.

We will also hear from one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! as he and Evan Bourne prepare to put their WWE Tag Team Championships on the line at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View against Primo and Epico. We’ll also hear from Jack Swagger tonight before he teams with the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker in the evening’s tag team main event to take on the team of Big Show and Kane. At the Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View Undertaker will put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Big Show and Kane whilst Jack Swagger will compete in the 30 Man Royal Rumble match.

As well as hearing from the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker tonight on Friday Night SmackDown! before the evening’s tag team main event, we will also hear from the Undertaker’s Brother Kane. Kane will team with Big Show in tonight’s main event to take on the team of the Undertaker and Jack Swagger and at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View Kane will join Big Show in challenging Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Triple Threat match.

Friday Night SmackDown! begins with the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker making his way to the ring. Undertaker proclaims that at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View he will defeat both Big Show as well as his Brother Kane in their Triple Threat match to successfully retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Undertaker also says that he and Jack Swagger will won tonight’s tag team main event against the team of Big Show and Kane, but that he does not see Jack Swagger as a legitimate threat to his World title and that he does not think Jack Swagger will be able to win the 30 Man Royal Rumble match. Undertaker says that whoever does win this year’s Royal Rumble match would be foolish to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania, as he is undefeated at Wrestlemania and it is the “Deadman’s favourite playground”.

Rating: D

The WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dashing” Cody Rhodes comes to the ring and declares that at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View he will defeat 29 other Superstars to win the Royal Rumble match. Rhodes says that he will then go on to headline this year’s Wrestlemania and become a World Champion for the very first time, making him a dual Champion, as he will not lose his Intercontinental title.

Rating: C+

JTG comes to the ring and says that he will win the Royal Rumble match at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View.

Cody Deaner then joins JTG in the ring and says that after winning his debut match against God last week, he is sure that he will be the one to win the Royal Rumble match.

Rating: E+

The WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix comes to the ring and promises that at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View she will defeat Maryse to successfully retain her Divas Championship. Layla, Michelle McCool and the Friday Night SmackDown! General Manager Vickie Guerrero then rush to the ring and assault Beth. Layla and McCool stomp and kick Beth once they have pushed her onto the mat whilst Vickie picks up the microphone and says that this is the same sort of beating they will give Kelly Kelly, Kaitlyn and Rosa Mendes in their Six-Diva tag team match later tonight.
