The WWE Champions John Cena music hits and the champion make his way down to the ring taking one of the microphones. Cena starts to talk about his match last week with Mark Henry putting over the attack from Ryback. He mentions the match against Ryback in two weeks’ time and how he is going finish Ryback once and for all on PPV. This brings out his opponent to the ramp to a pretty good heel reaction. Ryback talks about the match at the PPV before saying he will take the title from Cena at the PPV but first he is going to destroy Cena tonight.

When Ryback is done he runs down to the ring starting a brawl between the two opponents exchange blows around the ring side area. John Cena gets the advantage as they battle towards the backstage area, where they are finally pulled apart by WWE officials. The segment ends with Ryback telling John Cena he hasn’t finished with him yet tonight. A*

Team Hell No! VS Rhodes Scholars

In a return match from last week’s edition of RAW we see Hell No! Against Rhodes Scholars, taking after their match from last week this week once again manages to steal the show and the crowd really are enjoying both these teams at the moment. The finish starts when the Shields music hits and Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins make their way down to the ring, this creates a distraction for Kane and Daniel Bryan allowing for Cody Rhodes to get the role up and steal the win for Rhodes Scholars. B

We head backstage and we see Vince McMahon and Triple H. Vince demands to know why Triple H wants another match at the PPV against Brock Lesnar. He wants to know why Triple H is willing to put his career on the line and that he should think of his wife Stephanie and his children before doing this match at Payback. Triple H responded saying he has though of them is because of them he has to face Lesnar and finish his feud with him for everything Lesnar has done to his Family. Vince tries to speak up but Stephanie steps in to stop them two from fighting. B-

Big E Langston VS Kofi Kingston

Another good match between two mid-card talents, Kofi Kingston picks up a much needed victory over Big E Langston who was booked to look strong despite the defeat, whilst being helped by some good ringside work from AJ Lee. Kofi Kingston hit Trouble in Paradise before getting the pin-fall, great mid-card match on RAW. C-

We go backstage and we see Vickie Guerrero in her office as Rhodes Scholars enter. Sandow and Cody as her to book them in a match at the PPV against the shield point to the victory they had tonight against former tag team champions Team Hell No! Vickie is about to book the match when Hell No enter the office. Bryan points out that they beat Rhodes Scholars last week and they would have won tonight if it wasn’t from the distraction created by the shield.

The two teams argue created the chance for Daniel Bryan to get in some NO chants! Before Vickie gets their attention after a few “Excuse me!” shouts. Vickie says she is tired of listening to the two teams argue so since they both make good points about being the number one contenders She will book them both in triple threat Tag Team title match at Payback. Both teams leave the office still bickering with each other B-

---

The Miz’s music hit and the number one contender for the Intercontinental makes his way down to the ring. He takes a microphone talking about the match he had from last week when he became Number One contender for Wade Barrett’s championship. Miz mentions that he was sneaked attacked last week on RAW but he won’t let the same thing happen again. The brings out the champion Wade Barrett who makes his way down to the ring. Miz steps outside taking a seat at ringside to get an up-close look at Barrett’s match tonight. B+

Wade Barrett VS Brodus Clay

Wade Barrett was booked strongly here in the victory over Brodus Clay, whilst there were lots interaction on the outside between The Miz and Wade Barrett to build towards the Intercontinental Championship bout between the two of them at Payback. The Miz did a good job on commentary putting over Barrett over. C+

The Miz leaves his position at ringside coming face to face with an impressive looking Barrett. The two men stare each other down with neither one giving an inch between them. Wade Barrett holds up the Intercontinental championship letting the whole crowd no what this is about. The words “Two weeks” can be seen being mentioned between the two of them. B-

---

Ryback music hits and the monster make his way down the ringside. The commentators use this moment to talk about the brawl that happened before between John Cena and himself, putting the monster over as a massive threat to the title that John Cena currently holds. B

Ryback VS Randy Orton

Randy Orton takes on Ryback in a match that pretty much followed the same formula as Ryback and Chris Jericho the week before. Ryback who is on fire at the moment in terms of momentum gets another impressive victory using the Shell Shock against another former World Champion in Randy Orton who was basically told to make Ryback look good. It was a solid performance from Ryback with two weeks to-go before his championship match at Payback against John Cena. C+

Triple H’s music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. The game looks in no mood to be messed with tonight after the fight between him and Vince McMahon earlier in the show. Triple H takes the microphone and says he can’t wait till Payback and that he wants Brock Lesnar tonight! Lesnar music hits but instead its Paul Heymen who makes is way out onto the ramp.

Heyman talks about the interaction tonight between Hunter and Vince and tells him it’s not too late to back out of the contest. Heyman suggest that instead of taking on Brock Lesnar he should go home to his wife and kids and his nice office job down at WWE HQ. Before asking why would Triple H risk all that for one last encounter between himself and Lesnar. Triple H isn’t having any of it demanding Lesnar make his way to the ring or he will go backstage and drag his ass out to the arena. Triple H is about to leave the ring when Lesnar finally appears though the crowd, the two men brawl before Lesnar gets the advantage setting Hunter up and hitting the F-5. Lesnar stands over Hunter as Haymen makes his way down to the ring gloating. He tells Hunter he could have gone home willingly, because in two weeks Brock will send him home for good. He will send Triple H to Hell in a Cell and when Brock is done, the WWE Universe will never hear from the game again. A

John Cena VS Mark Henry

In another rematch from last week’s edition of WWE Raw John Cena once again takes on Mark Henry, another good TV main event from the two men and the no disqualification ruling helped out both men in the ring. The crowd was fantastic throughout the match that Mark Henry was able to win with the World’s Strongest Slam after Ryback made his way down to the ring attacking John Cena. B-

After the match Ryback and Mark Henry beat down on the WWE Champion. They take turns slamming down on Cena with power moves before Cena takes another World Strongest Slam followed by the Shell Shock. Mark Henry then leaves the ring allowing Ryback to place the championship on top of a beat Cena while standing over a destroyed WWE Champion. B+

Final Shot Rating B

I've been enjoying writing this Diary so far, looking forward to getting to Payback and there being some major happenings. Kinda interesting to see that nobody picked a Mark Henry win over Cena with the no disqualification ruling. Ryback is massively over the the moment in the game, looking at his momentum he is currently on A* the only person whose ahead of him right now is Brock Lesnar then Triple H comes in just behind, never expected that.

Lesnar VS Triple H in Hell in a Cell is the only way I can think to end the feud once and for all as they have already done a cage match and stuff, I want this to have a feud ending feel to it as both men are going to move on to other things after this match and I do have a plan leading out the other end of Payback.

As a whole I am really looking forward to doing that PPV and seeing peoples predictions as who will win. Should be a lot of fun.

WWE Payback (Updated Card... not yet final)

WWE Championship:-

John Cena © VS Ryback

Hell in a Cell - Triple H's career on the line

Brock Lesnar VS Triple H

WWE Intercontinental Championship:-

Wade Barret © VS The Miz

WWE Tag Team Championship:-

The Shield ( C)VS Rhodes Scholars VS Team Hell No!

If you have any thoughts or comments feel free to post them, should have Smackdown prediction up come tomorrow I expect.

Active Jerichoholic · June 18, 2013

WWE Championship:-

John Cena © VS Ryback Cena's usually better chasing the title, but if he holds it awhile longer it'll put whoever beats him over massively.

Hell in a Cell - Triple H's career on the line

Brock Lesnar VS Triple H H is still great in the ring, but retiring him will give Brock the boost he would need to challenge Cena if he ends up retaining. Really close call.

WWE Intercontinental Championship:-

Wade Barret © VS The Miz Barret has momentum, and his finish is probably my favorite in WWE right now.

WWE Tag Team Championship:-

The Shield ( C)VS Rhodes Scholars VS Team Hell No! I think we see the start of a rift between Kane and Bryan here, hopefully Rhodes Scholars come out looking strong even though I don't see them taking the titles as of now.

Heres the recap and preview for the next edition of WWE Smackdown, look forward to seeing everyone predictions for the next show. Two editions of Smackdown and one edition of Raw left before Payback so should be an interesting show with lots of build. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36235" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="<a href="http://s1201.photobucket.com/user/Takehikomits/media/FSX/WWE-NXT/WWE_SmackDown_zpsc6cf4e6b.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://s1201.photobucket.com/user/Takehikomits/media/FSX/WWE-NXT/WWE_SmackDown_zpsc6cf4e6b.jpg.html"</a> target="_blank"><img src="<a href="http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/Takehikomits/FSX/WWE-NXT/WWE_SmackDown_zpsc6cf4e6b.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/Takehikomits/FSX/WWE-NXT/WWE_SmackDown_zpsc6cf4e6b.jpg"</a> border="0" alt=" photo WWE_SmackDown_zpsc6cf4e6b.jpg"/></a></div> Last week on WWE Smackdown The Real America, Jack Swagger faced off against his arch rival Alberto Del Rio, with a title match against World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler hanging in the balance, neither man could get the victory and the match ended in a tie before a brutal attack left Alberto beaten in the middle of the ring. This week will Jack Swagger continue to build momentum disposing of Santino Marella, will Alberto Del Rio be in any shape to possible wrestle and WWE Payback and who will get the title match against Dolph Ziggler. Making his return to WWE Smackdown Chris Jericho takes on former World Champion Daniel Bryan. What will the Y2J big to the show and can Daniel Bryan bring out an impressive win and what role will the shield play as United States Champion Dean Ambrose takes on the Celtic Warrior Sheamus. Also last week AJ promised she was coming for the Diva’s championship, Diva champion Kaitlyn got an impressive win over Natalya, now AJ Lee gets a chance to repeat the victory and come one step closer to taking the title but Natalya won’t want to take two straight defeats in a row who will get the advantage in this massive Diva division match, all this and much more on the next edition of WWE Smackdown.

All three of the ladies put on a decent showing on Main Event, the match was a good strong match the only downside being a lack of crowd heat from the fan but when the division has been treated like a toilet break for years that’s no surprise. Alicia Fox got herself the submission victory to pick up the win here. One thing to note is all three girls have stalled at the moment and need to change something to get some momentum back on their side before they can move into the title picture. C+</div></blockquote> We see a video replaying the events on Monday Night Raw between Triple H and Brock Lesnar. It highlights Lesnar attack from behind and Heyman announcing the stipulation for their last encounter at WWE Payback being a Hell in a Cell Match. The commentary team then put over their feud and how it built to the point we will see at Payback.

In was a match that was booked to make both wrestlers look equal in the crowd’s eyes as we build up the midcard scene in the company. The only thing that hinder the match was a lack of heat from the crowd but with Fandango being somewhat new to the company and Sin Cara having been on jobber duty the last few weeks that’s something that can be built up. A good showing for both men on Main Event, and both should be looking to move on into some storylines in the not too distant future. C+</div></blockquote> We are backstage with The Miz who looks fired up for tonight’s main event. He is asked a question about his opponent for Payback Wade Barrett. Mix talks about the feud so far and the two of them getting into each other faces on Raw on Monday. Miz says that that be beat Wade Barrett at Wrestlemaina and come Payback he will once again write the wrong and regain his Intercontinental Championship.

The crowd were behind both men in this face VS face main event. Both of these men seemed over with the crowd in attendance tonight. Daniel Bryan got the victory after some interference from the Champion Wade Barrett. The Interference was enough to allow Bryan to get the pin fall ended a great main event matchup the posted a solid rating as match of the night B+ </div></blockquote> Final Show Rating B <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36235" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="<a href="http://s1201.photobucket.com/user/Takehikomits/media/FSX/WWE-NXT/WWE_NXT2_zps42c7b41d.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://s1201.photobucket.com/user/Takehikomits/media/FSX/WWE-NXT/WWE_NXT2_zps42c7b41d.jpg.html"</a> target="_blank"><img src="<a href="http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/Takehikomits/FSX/WWE-NXT/WWE_NXT2_zps42c7b41d.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/Takehikomits/FSX/WWE-NXT/WWE_NXT2_zps42c7b41d.jpg"</a> border="0" alt=" photo WWE_NXT2_zps42c7b41d.jpg"/></a></div> Emma defeated Rebecca Knox E Yoshi Tatsu defeated Sami Zayn C- Brad Maddox defeated Alex Riley C- </div></blockquote>

The match has relevantly short and did his job as putting Swagger over, Jack Swagger gets the submission win with the patriot lock. C</div></blockquote> Zeb Colter takes the microphone after the matchup. Colter starts to talk about last week’s match on Smackdown between Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio. He comments on how after the match Swagger and himself took out Alberto. Colter says that Alberto Del Rio is done and declarer’s Jack Swagger the number one contender for the match at Payback. Colter then calls out Dolph Ziggler bringing out the World Heavyweight Champion to a face reaction for the segment. Ziggler talks about being happy to face Swagger at Payback for the championship. He mentions the old tag team they had under Vickie and how Swagger was always the weak link in the partnership. He says at Payback he is going to prove once and for all that he is the better wrestler and once he has retained his championship, Jack Swagger will be back to losing to Zack Ryder in the opening contest of the evening. The match for Payback looks all sorted when Booker T’s music comes on and the general manager of Smackdown comes out. Booker T’s reminds everyone that the World Heavyweight Championship is a Smackdown title belt, and as the General Manager of Smackdown it’s his choice who gets a shot at that belt. He says that Swagger might have walked away last week but Swagger didn’t win that number one contenders match, the match ended in a draw and so neither Swagger nor Alberto Del Rio will get the title shot at Payback instead they will have off against each other in a match to end their feud. The winner of that match will earn a Title shot at the next major PPV, Summerslam against the World Heavyweight Champion whoever may hold the title come August. Ziggler looks pretty happy with this turn of events until Booker T turns his attention to him. Booker tells Ziggler that doesn’t mean he has the night off and that he took special consideration over Ziggler’s opponent for Payback. He went and searched for a superstar that would push Ziggler to the limit. The man we will see in the main event tonight the best in the world at what he does, Y2J Chris Jericho. Booker T leaves with both Swagger and Ziggler in the ring complaining about the decisions from the General Manager B Paul Heyman is in the ring with his newest client Curtis Axel. Heyman starts to speak on the microphone; he says that once again last week on Smackdown Curtis Axel proved why he is the future of this business. He took another victory away from an established wrestler from the Roster. Heymen mentions that there is no one in the WWE at the moment with as much momentum as his client and once tonight, when he is done with R-Truth he is coming for his first Championship Gold.

Curtis was getting a lot more heat as he slowly builds himself up and starts to get over in the midcard. Curtis once again gets the victory over R-Truth after hitting the Perfect Plex, to finally get the win. Good victory from Axel who really needs to move on now towards some storylines. C+</div></blockquote> Ricardo is backstage and he is asked about his friend Alberto Del Rio. Ricardo says that he was devastated last week when Jack Swagger and Colter took out his friend last week. He has spent a lot of time at Alberto homes this past week and it was painful seeing his friend be hurt. He announces that next week Alberto Del Rio will return to the WWE Universe and at Payback we will get revenge on Swagger before moving onto Summerslam when he brings that world championship home. C -- AJ Lee is seen getting ready for her Divas match against Natalya. She is asked about Kaitlyn who defeated Natalya last week in a Divas title match on Smackdown. AJ says that she is better than the Divas Champion, and that Kaitlyn may have beat Natalya last week on Smackdown but tonight AJ plans on humiliating her opponent Natalya and when she has beaten her in the middle of that ring, it’s only a matter of time before she takes the Divas Title that’s rightful hers.

AJ is booked as the stronger competitor against the talent Natalya who does a good job in putting her over. AJ spends a lot of the match tormenting her opponent as she attempts to send a message towards Kaitlyn, in a shocking end to a match Natalya gets the roll-up victory getting the surprised win over AJ Lee. Good match that left Natalya looking like a contender as whilst AJ looked strong. C </div></blockquote> AJ is furious after her defeat at the hands of Natalya she jumps Natalya from behind before calling down Big E Langston. Big E gets in the ring, attacking on Natalya as AJ screams that it should have been her victory. AJ directs traffic as Big E takes apart Natalya with power moves until ringside officials finally put Big E off her. AJ leaves with Big E Langston screams that it was her victory and she won the match right there. B -- Chris Jericho is seen walking back stage as we go back to what happened at the start of the show between Booker T and Ziggler. The commentators talk about how Booker T told Swagger that’s a Smackdown Title and as the Smackdown General Manager he picks who faces who for his World Championship and that since no one won between Swagger and Alberto Del Rio, Ziggler shall defend his world Championship against Chris Jericho. They then talk about how Jericho is a veteran and that come Payback Ziggler might be walking out without that Championship.

The match was booked with both of them looking even in an attempt to move Ambrose up the card, and both men seem to be pretty over with the crowd. Both men are given a good amount of time to work with putting on one of the better matches during the card. Sheamus eventually gets the win with White Noise picking up the victory, and setting up Sheamus as a contender for Ambrose United States Championship. C+</div></blockquote> We see the Shield backstage with Ambrose looking hurt from his match. Rolling and Reigns what to know what happened and how he allowed himself to be beaten by Sheamus. Ambrose apologies to her partners in the shield for not getting the job done tonight and promises that at Payback the the United States Championship is only leaving with him.

Jericho got the win after Ziggler decided to get involved and accidentally hit Bryan with the World Heavyweight Championship after referee bump.

As the two of them fight the Shields Music hits and Rolling’s and Reigns make their way down to the ring. The shield attack Bryan in the ring, the shield two on one for a while before Kanes music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Kane forces Rollin and Reigns to split whist Jericho gets the better of Ziggler. The show heads of area with Kane, Bryan and Jericho standing side by side in the middle of the ring. B- Final Show Rating B- Now just as a slap in the face; Jack Swagger failed a drug test at the end of the show, for soft drug using. This comes after Jack Swagger was arrested earlier in the year for DUI and possession of marijuana. With this being a second offense under the drug policy Jack Swagger has started a 28 day suspension. This is Mr Swaggers second offense this year. Swagger has promised to stay clean after receiving this suspension. I think I just swore at my computer screen. Jack Swagger was heading towards a Summerslam title match and a run with the Big Gold Belt, now after failing a drug test them plans are over as he will be off TV for a months along with missing the whole king of the ring tournament. Two potential world title runs in the space of a year ruined by drugs! Damn you swagger, you have already gone from Champion to jobber, are you trying to repeat that? Spend the last two shows building to a match with Del Rio and then he dose something stupid. The Number-One contenders match is still going to happen, going to have to find a replacement for Swagger, got a few ideas... If anyone wondering why its for Summerslam and not King of the Ring, that's because the King of the Ring PPV is going to feature the quarter finals, semi-finals and also the finals of the tournament, also i have changed the format so both the World Heavyweight Champion and the WWE Champion could well find themselves in the last 8, You'll find out more about that on the next edition of RAW.

The Lloyd · June 22, 2013

Good show my friend. And looking forward to your take on the King of the Ring Tournament

Interestingly, I had a similar situation to your Swagger one right before my KOTR... I had Brian Kendrick make it to the last 8, and therefore the Event itself, then out of nowhere, he failed 2 drug tests in a row, and so i suspended him, meaning he would miss the event! lolol

He promised to right the wrongs of two weeks ago and induct John Cena into the house of pain. Cena looked set for the victory until the unstoppable Ryback entered the fray. The attack from Ryback was enough for Mark Henry to put Cena away using the World’s Strongest Slam, before the pair took turns destroying the WWE champion in the middle of the ring in a game of who can stop this… Tonight John Cena has a chance for retribution as he gets a partner of his choice to face up against Mark Henry and Ryback. Can John Cena turn the tide before his title defense or will Ryback who recently beat both Chris Jericho and Randy Orton get the last laugh pinning the champion on the eve of their match at Payback. Also last week we found out that the tag team championship will be defended in a triple threat match at Payback between The Shield, Team Hell No and Team Rhodes Scholars, tonight all of them teams will compete in two massive triple threat single matches. Who will score the victories and give their teams an edge coming into Payback. And the race for the Intercontinental Championship heat up as Champion Wade Barrett takes on the impressive former United State Champion Antonio Cesaro. Cesaro is no walk in the park for the Champion who held the US Title for seven months before losing the belt and Barrett’s Payback opponent has a tough challenge put in front of him with the undefeated Curtis Axel. Can the Miz give Axel his first defeat or will Axel got one step closer on his quest for Championship Gold? Plus Vince McMahon and Triple H will both be on the show. How will Vince react to the new that Triple H will face Lesnar inside a Hell in a Cell, will Triple H get one last shot at Lesnar before Payback and what is the major announcement surrounding the King of the Ring tournament… all this and more on the go home edition of WWE Raw. WWE Raw Card:- Wade Barrett VS Antonio Cesaro Daniel Bryan VS Damien Sandow VS Seth Rollins The Miz VS Curtis Axel Kane VS Roman Reigns VS Cody Rhodes John Cena and a Partner of his choosing VS Ryback and Mark Henry </div></blockquote> ok so now that's done and I do enjoy writing the show previews Xp I have added up the current prediction results, The current league will run until Payback and then a new league will start from then on... So you still have three more shows to earn points before the end. Here are the current standings so long as i have added them up right. 1= The Lloyd – 10/16 2= RKOwnage – 9/16 3= Kieranforthewin – 7/16 4= Ayden – 6/16 5= Funkyzafara – 5/16 6= Active Jerichoholic – 3/16 7= CageRage – 2/16 8= Owen Rey – 1/16 I plan on putting RAW up late tomorrow night/Monday and Smack down not to long after I'm away this weekend Thursday - Sunday so I would like to have the Payback predictions going before I leave so i can enjoy reading them when I'm away. So don't hang around and if you haven't played yet come and join in Xp @The Lloyd:- Glad you are enjoying the shows, was so annoyed when Jack Swagger did that but it has opened up the World Heavyweight Championship title scene a lot. I can Image there being a lot of build around that title as the King of the Ring tournament roles on, that will last for the full 4 weeks between Payback and the King of the Ring PPV.

RKOwnage · June 22, 2013

That's annoying about Swagger, but that's what I like about stuff like this -- seeing how well you can improvise <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

The Lloyd · June 22, 2013

WWE Raw Card:-

Wade Barrett VS Antonio Cesaro

Cesaro vs Barrett would be excellent in real life... i think the Champ looks strong here...

Daniel Bryan VS Damien Sandow VS Seth Rollins

Heels normally win these...

The Miz VS Curtis Axel

NO!... Miz will not be the first to stop the Axel...

Kane VS Roman Reigns VS Cody Rhodes

I'd be surprised if the heels didn't take these two matches...

John Cena and a Partner of his choosing VS Ryback and Mark Henry

I think he chooses Orton, and then Henry and Ryback dominate, but can't get on and decide who wins...

Glad you enjoy writing the previews... love the 'PREVIOUSLY, ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW' bit Wish I could do something like that to sum up my diary before I write the next show... I normally stick it on the end of RAW, a quick skim as to what happened... maybe I'll just use it as a preview for the next show... hmmm...

Yeh I'm also interested to see who will face Del RIo World Heavyweight Title Picture is now a little more interesting than it already was... so well done on that Swagger...!

kieranforthewin · June 22, 2013

For swagger all you needed to do was give him a fatherly approach off the bat and he'll get off the drugs lol

Active Jerichoholic · June 22, 2013

Very nice Smackdown! Mitsunari, enjoying the ride thus far. Keep it up <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Wade Barrett VS Antonio Cesaro Barrett edges it out for me, love both guys.

Daniel Bryan VS Damien Sandow VS Seth Rollins Bryan rebounds quickly with a win here while making the other guys look phenomenal.

The Miz VS Curtis Axel Axel's on a roll...

Kane VS Roman Reigns VS Cody Rhodes I love Cody, but the Shield need a win so I believe Reigns wins by interference.

John Cena and a Partner of his choosing VS Ryback and Mark Henry The mighty ??? is the fall guy to make the heels look strong while Cena doesn't lose so he keeps his momentum.

He gets in the ring and he takes one of the Microphones. Vince plays to the crowd for a little why before getting to the real reason he has come out here tonight. To announce that starting from next week’s RAW WWE will be running a month long competition to decide who the next WWE King of the Ring is… To explain more Vince says he is going to welcome his son the law and former King of the Ring winner Triple H. Triple H makes is way to the ring. Triple talks about how back in 1997 he defeated Mankind to earn the prestige crown, before going on the win the WWE Championship just like Stone Cold Steven Austin and Bret the Hitman Hart. Triple H says that winning the King of the Ring Tournament was one of the proudest moments in his career. So when him and Vince spoke about bringing the tournament back they wanted it to be special and prove who the best in the ring really was. Triple H then heads on to say that since 1985 when Don Muraco first won the crown beating the Iron Sheik the tournament has evolved and this year it will evolve again. They have looked at the format of the biggest competitions in the world of sport and this year the 8 men that make the finals will have to earn it. They have picked 16 superstars each one based on their performance over the last year has been given a seeding, them 16 superstars will be spilt into four groups of four and over the next month on WWE Television they will battle. The top two in each group will earn their way into the finals were they will battle in a one night tournament to decided who is the best. Now to make the competition fair the seeding’s having been spilt into pots, no one wrestler can face someone from the same pot. For example seed number 1, couldn’t face seed number 2,3 or 4. During WWE Payback each one of the groups will be drawn out until we know who will face of in the first stage of this year’s King of the Ring. The two top seeds will be the current WWE and World Heavyweight Champion the rest will be assigned a number based on performance, Seed number 16 will go to winner of a special tournament for wrestler working in NXT to earn the shot at a life time. Pot A: 1: John Cena, 2: Dolph Ziggler, 3: Sheamus, 4: Alberto Del Rio Pot B: 5: Ryback, 6: The Big Show, 7: Randy Orton, 8: Daniel Bryan Pot C: 9: Dean Ambrose, 10: Wade Barrett, 11: Chris Jericho, 12: Mark Henry Pot D: 13: Antonio Cesaro, 14: Damien Sandow, 15: Curtis Axel, 16: NXT Tournament winner. Each wrestler will have two matches against the other members of their group and depending on the outcome will earn points. The person that wins the most point in the group will then in the quarterfinals face the person who finished second out of another grouping. Should two superstars end on the same amount of points then the quickest victory will be the tie breaker between the two. Thank you and good night. Triple H and Vince are about the leave the ring when Brock Lesnars music hits and out comes Lesnar and Paul Heyman. Heyman is clapping before starting to speak. He congratulates Triple H on bring back the King of the Ring Tournament before reminding the game that his client Brock Lesnar also won the King of the Ring. He reminds Triple H that it was back in 2002 when Brock Lesnar beat RVD to earn that crown before also going on the win the WWE Championship. The difference between his client Brock Lesnar and Triple H is that come this Sunday. Brock Lesnar will be standing tall whilst Triple H will be joining the unemployment line.Triple H is furious and wants himself some of Brock Lesnar. Lesnar makes his way down to the ring before Paul Heyman tells him to stop. He tells Lesnar to wait until this Sunday and finish the job between himself and Triple H once and for all. A* -- We go back stage and we see a hurt John Cena getting ready the locker room. Sheamus appears and Cena congratulates him on his victory this past Friday night against Dean Ambrose. Sheamus say he is looking forward to his United States Championship match at Payback but tonight he would like to nothing more than to be John Cena tag team partner in his match with Ryback and Mark Henry. Cena tells Sheamus he will think about it and will make his mind up later on tonight.

The two wrestlers are booked pretty evenly and the commentators out over the fact that this match could be drawn in the group stages of the King of the Ring tournament. The match itself is booked to give Wade Barrett another victory while making Cesaro look like a contender. Barrett eventually picks up the pin fall after using the Intercontinental Title belt as a weapon. C+</div></blockquote> We get a video on screen looking at the first two wrestlers who get the shot of advancing onwards in this NXT qualifying tournament. The commentary team speak both about Kassius Ohno and Bray Wyatt mentioning what they have so far achieved in NXT and what winning this tournament could mean for their career if they were drawn out in a group against WWE Champion John Cena, Randy Orton and Chris Jericho. They agree that winning this tournament could be life changing for one of the 8 men involved.

In the short amount of time they are given to work with they put on a decent contest. Kassius Ohno picked up the victory via pinfall after 4:42. Good match considering the length of the contest. C- </div></blockquote> We head backstage and we see the Shield Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Seth Rollings and Reigns are yelling at Dean Ambrose. Seth and Roman seem unhappy that Dean Ambrose has been put into the King of the Ring Tournament over them. They say that they have had just as good if not better year that the United States Champion and point out his loss to Sheamus on Smackdown. Ambrose says that it doesn’t matter who got in so long as one member of the Shield is in the tournament. He says The Shield have always been a group and that they will win the King of the Ring, as for Sheamus he will get the job done this Sunday when he retains his United States Championship and that’s something he will do alone. B -- Curtis Axel music hits and himself and Heymen make their way down to the ring. Heymen mentioned that his client Brock Lesnar is a former King of the Ring winner and come next month Curtis Axel will join him. He says that since the tournament was announced there is the possibility of getting drawn into a group of death. He mentions being drawn in a group with maybe the World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Zigger, the number one contender for the WWE Championship Ryback and the world’s strongest man Mark Henry. Heyman say it doesn’t matter what other three men make up his group because there is no one in the King of the Ring tournament whose more dominate that Curtis Axel. Curtis Axel is unbeaten and tonight he adds The Miz name to his list of victims.

The Miz is pretty good at making Axel look strong while being protected. Curtis Axel gets the victory as Wade Barrett interferes attacking The Miz while the referee is distracted by Paul Heyman. C</div></blockquote> Curtis Axel is celebrating whilst Wade Barrett gets back in the ring keeping on the assault against The Miz. Wade Barrett is relentless beating down his opponent for this Sunday. When he is finished Barrett stands over The Miz holding the Intercontinental Championship up high in the area. The commentary team put over the encounter this Sunday for the Championship gold. B- -- John Cena is still backstage and this time it’s Randy Orton who approaches him. Randy Orton assures John Cena that he doesn’t mean him any harm tonight. Orton says that he and Cena haven’t always seen eye to eye with each other referencing their feud's from the past. Randy then talks about his match last week on RAW and his defeat to Ryback. Orton says tonight he wants to right the wrong to last week. Cena nods and say he hasn’t made up his mind yet and he will pick his Partner later on in the night. B -- We stay backstage as Team Hell No! And Team Rhodes Scholars make their way to the ring for the two big triple treat matches building into the Tag Team title picture. The two teams come face to face with each other staring one another down. Sandow mentions the victory that Cody picked up for Rhodes Scholars last week on raw before Bryan points out that two weeks ago it was Team Hell No that picked up the victory. The two teams debate the result before walking away. The commentators put over the two big triple threat matches are next.

All three of the men seemed to work well together and having the partners are ring side made for an interesting dynamic. Roman Reigns as the champion was protected in this match while it was booked to make Cody Rhodes and Kane both look strong in the ring to create a sense that any one of these teams could leave champions come this Sunday. Cody Rhodes gained the Pin-fall after a quick Cradle ending the first triple threat C </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36235" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Daniel Bryan VS Seth Rollins VS Damien Sandow</div> The longer of the match and the match that gets the match of the night reward. All three of these men put on a good show. The match followed the same formula as the previous one. Keep Seth Rollins protected as the champion while making the contenders look like credible threat. It was Team Hell No! Turn to get the victory with Daniel Bryan scoring the Pin-Fall on this occasion. B-</div></blockquote> The ringing of the bell doesn’t end the confrontation between these three teams as it exploded breaking down into the brawl between Hell No, Rhodes Scholars and The Shield. The three teams fight around the ring side area and eventually up the entrance ramp towards the back stage area, heading of Camera. once the fight had ended; the commentary team as the question who will leave Payback holding the Tag Team Championship belts. B -- John Cena is still backstage and this time it’s Chris Jericho who appears asking to be his tag team partner for the evening. Cena says he would like nothing more than to have Jericho be in his corner tonight but, Jericho has a World Heavyweight Championship match this Sunday at Payback against Dolph Ziggler. Cena tells Jericho to beat Ziggler he is going to have to be 100% he should know he was beaten by Ziggler at Tables Ladders and Chairs last year. Cena wish Jericho look before refusing his offer. The segments ends with Cena saying that once Payback is done and he is WWE Champion still and Jericho is World Heavyweight Champion he would like to see them face off in the group stage of the King of the Ring Tournament commenting that they would steal the show. B -- Mark Henry and Ryback are warming up for the match tonight against Cena and his partner. It’s announced that it’s almost time for tonight’s main event of the evening and that this will be the last encounter between John Cena and Ryback before the championship match at Payback. B- <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36235" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">John Cena and Randy Orton VS Mark Henry and Ryback</div> The main event of the evening saw the crowd go wild for both the two teams. The match was booked so that both Ryback and Cena would be built up before the title clash this Sunday evening. Randy Orton was basically used to help put Ryback over and Mark Henry the same for Cena, while Cena and Ryback were both booked strong the protected throughout the contest. The finish of the match did feature both the champion and contender when Cena hits the AA to pin Ryback ahead of the contest this Sunday. The commentators mention that if Cena can repeat the result at Payback he will retrain the WWE Championship. C</div></blockquote> Cena victory is short live however are Ryback hits back right away beating down the champion and getting the Shell Shock against Cena. Raw heads of air with Ryback celebrating in the ring despite taking the loss to Cena in the prior match on the show. The match and the segment gave both champion and challenger a chance to hit there finishing moves on one another, giving them both a lot of momentum heading into Sunday’s Payback PPV. B- Final Show Rating: - B- - A little disappointed with the scoring for the Cena, Orton VS Henry/Ryback matchup to end the show. Over all happy with the show as it was a go home edition before a PPV event and there was a lot of get done building up matches, so good job just a shame about the final show rating. As for the king of the ring tournament, the drawing for the group stage I'm going to keep random just because its kinda more fun that way Xp. I drew the group out as a test before using a random number generator, here it the groups I got... Group A:- Antonio Cesaro/Chris Jericho/Daniel Bryan/Dolph Ziggler Group B:- Damien Sandow/Dean Ambrose/Ryback/Alberto Del Rio Group C:- NXT Tournament Winner/Mark Henry/The Big Show/John Cena Group D:- Curtis Axel/Wade Barrett/Randy Orton/Sheamus hopefully this will give you a better idea of how the group stage will work with each wrestler in the group facing each other twice. All matches will have a 15 minute time limit attached to them. A pin-fall or submission victory will score the winner 3 points a count-out, disqualification or draw will see the winner both men get 1 point 0 point will be awarded for a defeat. the other NXT tournament matches, also randomly drawn are:- Yoshi Tatsu VS Adrian Neville Bo Dallas VS Leo Kruger Sami Zayn VS Camacho the semi-finals will take place on the preshow to Payback with the final match being on the PPV card itself.

The Lloyd · June 23, 2013

LOVE the King of the Ring idea bro! haven't had time to read the entire show as i'm waaayyyyy past my bed time, but keep it up

and i'll comment again tomorrow once i've read more

Mitsunari · June 24, 2013

@the Lloyd: thanks, I expect I'll have a smack down preview written up in a little while. Was hoping to do the main event and smackdown shows tonight but work was offering time and a half over, time to test a new it system after hours. So just sitting in the bar having a drinking waiting for the last train home.

Glad you like the idea around the king of the ring Tournament. I want the event to have a big event feel. If you have ever watched the ufea champions league, or football/soccer World Cup or European championship's that's the feeling I'm going for... As a minor spoiler for payback I'm looking to bring in some big names to help build up the random king of the ring draw. Should be lots of fun to write and also read hopefully.

The Lloyd · June 24, 2013

Read the rest... interesting show... And interesting that you mention the World Cup as that is what I immediately thought of when you said about it all at the beginning of the show... LOVE the NXT tournament idea too... will give a chance for some of your up and comers to gain some instant popularity... Whoever wins an 8-man, one night tournament, always gets a massive boost (3 wins in a night) so it's a shame you couldn't do that with them... also a shame that Wyatt's out... love that guy!!

Keep it up my friend, and thanks for predicting on my diary

And a few pints, and very long shower and some food later here is the card for the next edition of Smackdown plus two bonus pick matches from WWE Main Event and Superstars:-

Previously on WWE Smackdown, General Manager Booker T was faced with a touch decision as to who would face Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Championship. Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger went one on one for the prize title shot at Payback but neither man could get the advantage, with the match ending in a time limit draw. Swagger got the advantage after the match with a violet beat down and though he had the shot in the back until the General Manager step in and put an even bigger prize in front of the two men, A chance to face the Champion on the biggest show of the summer; Summerslam. However with Jack Swagger being suspended for Payback does Alberto Del Rio in his return to television have a free ride to Summerslam and a shot at the gold?

Dolph Ziggler though he had the night of at Payback but once again Booker T stepped up his game booking the “Show Off” against the “Best in the World at what he does” in a renewed rivalry, Dolph Ziggler tried to interfere in Jericho match against Daniel Bryan but instead ended up adding his opponent. Now both men are both set to appear on Smackdown will their paths cross one last time before Payback?

AJ Lee promised to better Kaitlyn with a victory over Natalya on last weeks show. AJ dominated the match but it was Natalya with the surprise victory denying the world be contender for the Diva’s championship. AJ unhappy with how things turned out had Big E Langston beat down the Diva, leaving Natalya hurt. Now with a match against Alicia Fox on the cards can AJ move one stop closer to championship gold? Will Natalya be looking for revenge and what will Kaitlyn make of things as the quest for her Championship heats up?

Plus, The United States Champion Dean Ambrose will be in action and the NXT King of the Ring qualifying tournament first round continues on, All this and more still to come on the next edition of Friday Night Smackdown.
