WWE 2013: Truly The Best in the World?

Dawn · July 12, 2013

I'm not at home, that's the reason for the delay.

Guys, just a little thing, if someone thought that this is already over...it's not, but i'm not at home (like i said, i traveled, but not on that day like i said, some personal issues delayed the trip too and it was yesterday), and the Raw write-up is in the big PC there. I'm using my notebook, obviously, but the write-up is not in it. When i get back home next week, i'll let you guys know it by posting Raw. Thanks for everyone that predicted by now. I don't know if there are going to have more, but this is just a warning.

Oh, and one more thing...when i was at home, i wrote the show in a different format than E-V's, as i think that is very hard to write 4 shows a week with that format, so i'm using Beejus' format for shows and E-V's for other things.

Dolph Ziggler is nowhere to be seen, but as always, the big man Big E Langston stares behind her. Cole says that her opponent for tonight is unknown, but we are going to discover who it is in some moments. AJ has a big grin on her face for some reason, but only herself knows it. AJ steps out of the ring to get a microphone, and smiles to the staff. She then cuts to the point. She says that ''her sweetie'', Dolph Ziggler, is not on her side tonight because he is preparing for his huge match with that renegade, John Cena. But then, Big E Langston is on her side and she can fight whoever the mystery opponent is with no problem. Langston doesn't move a inch behind AJ, staring menacingly as always. She then says that, after they get rid of those pieces of trash, they are going to kiss and ''throw a private party'' as always. Chants of ''Ryblack'' take over the arena as Langston continues to act as AJ's bodyguard. On commentary, Jerry Lawler makes a quick comment about AJ's a$$, but this was censored, unfortunately. AJ then calls the mystery opponent, and looks up to the stage. <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Cameron_zpsb47cabf3.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Cameron_zpsb47cabf3.jpg</a> Time to get Funkin'</div> The fans have a mixed reaction as Funkadactyl Cameron is the one to come out to the match with AJ. AJ laughs and Langston has no reaction to it. But AJ has a reaction when Cameron slaps her across the face! AJ now is serious and no one is laughing, and Langston tries to help AJ, but the referee stops the big man, as the first match of 2013 is going to start. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: A Notes: AJ's a$$ really helped with this one. Cameron being the opponent will make sense very soon.</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/AJ_zps0a3ef93b.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/AJ_zps0a3ef93b.jpg</a> w/<a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Big_E_Langston_zpsd721252c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Big_E_Langston_zpsd721252c.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Cameron_zpsb47cabf3.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Cameron_zpsb47cabf3.jpg</a> AJ Lee w/Big E Langston vs. Cameron</div> AJ has a really hot start, motivated by the slap to the face, and she goes right after Cameron with takedowns and kicks.

Cameron awaits for AJ to get up, but when this happens, AJ catches Cameron with a kick to the gut and puts us out of the misery with a Shining Wizard on the Funkadactyl for the three count. <div style="text-align:right">Winner: AJ Lee, at 4:46 Rating: C</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/AJ_zps0a3ef93b.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/AJ_zps0a3ef93b.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Big_E_Langston_zpsd721252c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Big_E_Langston_zpsd721252c.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Cameron_zpsb47cabf3.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Cameron_zpsb47cabf3.jpg</a></div> After the match, AJ smiles like if she had won a prize. Cameron is seeing nothing but stars, and the referee checks the Funkadactyl. But AJ's smile soon turns into a angry face as she clearly wants to see Cameron feel pain, not get healed. AJ has a cold smile on her face now, and she gets out of the ring again. She gets not one, but two steel chairs. Langston just looks at the ring, to make sure that Cameron stays in the ring for AJ's intentions. AJ screams for the referee to get the hell out, and the referee is clearly intimidated as AJ is crazy. She places one of the chairs right in the head of the Funkadactyl, and on commentary, Michael says that this is not good. AJ then smiles for a second...before bashing the other chair in the chair placed on Cameron's head! Cameron has no reaction, as she's clearly out after the shots. After lots of shots, AJ finally shows stops and rolls out of the ring. AJ then goes to the back with Big E, jumping and smiling, forgetting that she just destroyed the face of another woman. The medics run to the ring, and Cameron has to be carried out on a stretcher. A recap of what just happened is shown, and the announcers look very worried about the Funkadactyl. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: C+</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_W_CM_Punk2_zps74833b95.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_W_CM_Punk2_zps74833b95.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Paul_Heyman_zps19446adc.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Paul_Heyman_zps19446adc.jpg</a></div> We cut to the back, where your WWE Champion, the Best in the World, CM Punk is talking with his manager, Paul Heyman.

Heyman says that it's too late for the match to be cancelled, and they will have to rely on ''them''. Punk says that he doesn't have to rely on anyone to retain the title, and he's been the champ for more than a year because of this. He only has to rely on the Go to Sleep. Heyman says that he appreciates Punk's pride, but he has to know that Ryback has been more unstoppable than ever, and he's a serious threat to Punk's reign tonight. Punk says that he defeated that threat twice, and three is not going to be the lucky number for Ryback, because tonight, he's leaving with the title, and he's going to face The Rock at the Royal Rumble. Punk leaves, and Heyman takes a seat to watch the show, thinking about something. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: A</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Sin_Cara_Red_zps1281d05e.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Sin_Cara_Red_zps1281d05e.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Rey_Mysterio_zpsb6526f02.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Rey_Mysterio_zpsb6526f02.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Drew_McIntyre_3MB_zps7dd784aa.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Drew_McIntyre_3MB_zps7dd784aa.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Jinder_Mahal_3MB_zps3f5944cb.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Jinder_Mahal_3MB_zps3f5944cb.jpg</a> w/<a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Heath_Slater3_zps28dd47e4.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Heath_Slater3_zps28dd47e4.jpg</a> Sin Cara & Rey Mysterio vs. 3MB w/Heath Slater</div> Mysterio and McIntyre start this one, and McIntyre goes right after his smaller foe, who uses his speed to avoid anything. Rey then starts kicking McIntyre in the leg, and McIntyre eventually falls to the ropes with Mysterio's moves to his leg, and the Master of the 619 goes for a early one, but McIntyre catches his legs and hits a brutal Fallaway Slam! McIntyre covers, to get a nearfall. McIntyre then tags in Mahal, and Mahal punches Mysterio in the face as McIntyre holds his arms. Mahal then goes for the Camel Clutch, but Mysterio slips out of it. Now in the ropes, Rey is welcomed with a elbow to the back by Mahal, as Slater screams WOOOOOO! and flings his hair in the outside. Sin Cara can do nothing but watch, as Mahal tags in McIntyre and they start hitting some cheap double team moves on Mysterio, with Slater distracting the referee. McIntyre eventually puts Mysterio in the corner and runs right into Rey, but Mysterio kicks him in the face! McIntyre tries again, but Mysterio kicks him in the face again! Mysterio starts his comeback, with a senton right in McIntyre! McIntyre gets up and goes for the clothesline, but Mysterio evades! Mysterio hits a springboard move, and a bulldog! Mysterio is on fire, and signals for the 619, but Heath Slater distracts him, telling him to ''get down, baby''. The referee is distracted by this, and McIntyre pokes Mysterio in the eye! McIntyre tags in Mahal, and they prepare to hit a Double Powerbomb on Rey. But...it's reversed in a Double Hurricanrana! Both men go to the ropes, and Mysterio hits a Double 619! After the huge move, McIntyre falls to the outside, Mysterio tags in Sin Cara, and Mahal is down on the mat. Mysterio makes sure that Mahal's companions are not going to hit more cheap shots, by hitting a crossbody right to the outside of the ring on Slater and McIntyre!

Rhodes said that, up next, he was going to expertly defeat that annoying brat, Daniel Bryan, and he's going to scream No's all night. Rhodes says that he just needs one Cross Rhodes for the work, but he is going to make sure that Bryan has a bad night. Sandow then says that Kane may be big, strong and menacing, but he's nothing but dumb. Sandow says that someone like that doesn't hold a candle for the Intellectual Savior of the Unwashed Masses, like the Genius, Damien Sandow. Rhodes says that, after they're done with them tonight, they're going to be out until the Rumble, and they're going to do even worse at the Rumble, because at the Rumble, they're not only going to defeat them, they're not only going to humiliate them. They're going to take the titles from them. The crowd boos as the arrogant duo smiles to them, but they're suddenly interrupted. <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_Tag_Daniel_Bryan_zps09129d17.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_Tag_Daniel_Bryan_zps09129d17.jpg</a> YES!

A YES by the crowd was chanted at every kick, meaning that Bryan had everything in this start, with the crowd clearly behind him. Bryan goes right after Rhodes' arm after the kicks, with a armbar. Rhodes feels the pain for some moments, before succesfully crawling to the ropes. Bryan releases at the count of 4 of the referee, and gets Rhodes back in the center of the ring for another armbar. This time, however, Rhodes fights through the pain, and punches the Tag Team Champion right on the nose several times, forcing him to release the hold. Rhodes then starts building a comeback, with clotheslines, but these are not that effective as Rhodes' arm is not 100% after the first armbar. Rhodes then dropkicks D-Bryan right in the jaw, and this is effective, as he covers him for the 2-count. Rhodes then starts bashing Bryan's head right into the corner, and it's clear that he's focusing on Bryan's face. Rhodes throws his enemy in the floor, and starts punching him with no mercy. Rhodes then goes for the Knee Drop, but Bryan gets out of the way, and kicks The Dashing One right on the face! Bryan now goes for the Yes Lock, but Rhodes tries to make sure that the hold is not going to be applied, by crawling without the hold applied, thus making it harder for Bryan to apply. Rhodes eventually hits a elbow to the face of the champ, and slowly gets up, with the damage on his face clearly applied, and Rhodes is angry. Rhodes makes sure that Bryan is not going to injure his face like Rey Mysterio did in 2011, by grabbing his protective mask and quickly putting it on his face, as Bryan slowly gets up too. Bryan goes for another kick, but this one doesn't do the trick, as Rhodes is wearing the mask! The referee can do nothing as Rhodes didn't use the mask directly against Bryan, and Rhodes just loses some of his balance, but keeps going and hits Bryan with a forearm to the back of the neck! Rhodes takes the mask off, and now he has the advantage. Rhodes hits the Knee Drop succesfully, and signals for the Cross Rhodes. Cody gets Bryan in position, but Bryan counters into the Yes Lock! The crowd is wild as Rhodes screams, with all the pain being applied with the hold. Both Bryan and the crowd start chants of ''YES !'', as Rhodes is nearly tapping out. Rhodes, with the energy left on him, somehow gets out of the hold, throwing Bryan in the ropes! Rhodes goes for the Disaster Kick...but it's countered into a dropkick! Both men are down and out, with the crowd chanting ''This is awesome'' after the move. Bryan crawls, and reaches his opponent. Bryan also uses all the energy left on him, and hits another Yes Lock! Rhodes can't do much after all the punishment, and taps out to give the champions the win in the first match of the two teams! <div style="text-align:right">Winner: Daniel Bryan, at 10:32 Rating: B Notes: Great chemistry helped this match.</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Damien_Sandow2_zpsdea81f3b.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Damien_Sandow2_zpsdea81f3b.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Kane6_zps61b6d683.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Kane6_zps61b6d683.jpg</a> Damien Sandow vs. Kane</div> Kane dominated from the very start, with the score motivating him even more to gain a win against the Intellectual Savior of the Unwashed Masses. With Kane never letting him breathe, Sandow had to do something quick, or else, he would be quickly defeated, and his enemies were going to gain a lot of momentum going into the Royal Rumble. And Sandow did exactly that, by luring Kane into the corner and getting out of the way when Kane was attempting to get him back up, thus making Kane fall face first into the pod. Sandow then hit a chopblock, and started working on Kane's knees. Sandow kicked the knee several times, and pulled Kane to nothing but steel in the corner, and got out of the ring, to bash Kane's leg in the steel several times. Sandow eventually got back in the ring when the referee's count reached 9, and after what happened, the momentum was clearly on his side. But then, he made a HUGE mistake. Sandow took some time to taunt Kane, as the crowd booed him. But Kane is very resilient, and Sandow perhaps underestimated him, as he got back up and hit a huge sidewalk slam on the Savior. The crowd was very happy as Kane signaled for the Chokeslam. But, there was someone that wasn't happy that all and decided to show up. <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Cody_Rhodes_Tash_zpse199b2cd.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Cody_Rhodes_Tash_zpse199b2cd.jpg</a> Not losing to Team Hell No again</div> Cody Rhodes, clearly frustrated, ran to the outside and distracted the Big Red Machine.

The opportunistic Sandow jacked the Monster with a Terminus from behind, and covered him for the three count, as Rhodes had a big grin on his face and the crowd showed its anger against Team Rhodes Scholars. <div style="text-align:right">Winner: Damien Sandow, at 7:49 Rating: B</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Damien_Sandow2_zpsdea81f3b.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Damien_Sandow2_zpsdea81f3b.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Cody_Rhodes_Tash_zpse199b2cd.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Cody_Rhodes_Tash_zpse199b2cd.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Kane6_zps61b6d683.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Kane6_zps61b6d683.jpg</a></div> After the match, the men standing in the ring were all smiles and celebrations, with the crowd booing heavily as Sandow had defeated Kane in a ''hard-fought battle''.

But Kane comes back and goes right after Cody, and the champions gain the advantage for a moment, but Team Rhodes Scholars fights back, and it turns into a brawl! No one is safe in the ring, with two of the biggest teams in the current WWE fighting for survival in the squared circle, and after some moments, the officials finally come from the back and try to end the battle for the show to continue. No one listens though, and the officials are in for a bad night as the two teams double team to take them out so they can continue the fight. But the show continues as the brawl goes into the backstages, with Kane throwing the Dashing One into a metal box and Sandow spearing D-Bryan right into a ladder, as we go to the commercials. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: A</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Joey_Styles2_zpsf68cd195.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Joey_Styles2_zpsf68cd195.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Sheamus_OShaunessy_zps0e2c6a2c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Sheamus_OShaunessy_zps0e2c6a2c.jpg</a></div> As we come back from the commercials, we see that no one got the advantage in the brawl as finally, LOTS of officials finally separated the two teams when they were nearly out of the arena. But now, Joey Styles is up for a interview, and he is with the Great White, who is set up to team with John Cena against Dolph Ziggler and Big Show tonight. Styles asks what is Sheamus' opinion on his match tonight, and Sheamus says that he doesn't like his partner, but he respects him, and he is going to help him against his enemy with pleasure as long as he helps him against his own with pleasure. He says that Big Show is a big and bad Fella, but the Brogue Kick is all that matters against any type of enemy. And this is all that is going to matter for him to take him out tonight, and to one day, take him out for the World Heavyweight Championship. Sheamus then says that Dolph Ziggler can be Mr. Money in the Bank, but he only needs one Brogue Kick to take him out so he can't cash in, Fella. Joey thanks Sheamus for his time, and says that Sheamus' match is next. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: B</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Dolph_Ziggler2_zps7ed86f3b.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Dolph_Ziggler2_zps7ed86f3b.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_WHT_Big_Show_zpsfa6b8143.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_WHT_Big_Show_zpsfa6b8143.jpg</a> w/<a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/AJ_zps0a3ef93b.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/AJ_zps0a3ef93b.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Big_E_Langston_zpsd721252c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Big_E_Langston_zpsd721252c.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/John_Cena25_zps418b4a07.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/John_Cena25_zps418b4a07.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Sheamus_OShaunessy_zps0e2c6a2c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Sheamus_OShaunessy_zps0e2c6a2c.jpg</a> Dolph Ziggler and The Big Show w/AJ Lee and Big E Langston vs. John Cena and Sheamus</div> Cena and Show start this one, and John Cena goes right after the giant, trying to take him off his base to get some advantage. But Big Show is no easy opponent, and he shoves Cena down to the floor like if he was nothing. Big Show then steps in Cena's chest for some seconds, with Dolph Ziggler laughing from the apron. The ref counts this as a pinfall, but Cena kicks out. Show then starts focusing on Cena's leg himself for some moments, hitting lots of power moves on the leg, like lifting it for some moments and brutally dropping it down to the mat again. Ziggler calls for the tag, but the World's Largest Athlete continues his assault on Ziggler's rival, with some punches to the back. Sheamus is starting to get worried, and screams for his former rival - now partner. Cena has no reaction though, as Show hits a slow leglock on the Cenation leader. Cena screams as the pain is obviously being applied. Cena can't crawl to the ropes as Show's legs and arms are too big and are holding him back. Cena finally gets out of the hold then, but not thanks to himself. He punches Show's leg, but this has no effect, and Show punches Cena's leg himself, and this clearly has a huge effect. Show finally releases the hold, and pulls Cena's leg back as Cena tries to take advantage and tag in Sheamus. Show pulls Cena to the corner and climbs it, but Ziggler does a blind tag! Show looks to his partner with anger, and he gets distracted for sufficient time for Cena to roll out of the way, and Show attempts the move anyway, but falls butt-first into the canvas. Cena then goes after Show, and he doesn't know that Ziggler is the legal man now. Cena hits two shoulder blocks on a fallen Show and goes for the 5-Knuckle Shuffle, but Ziggler jacks him with a forearm to the back of the head as he goes to the ropes! Ziggler takes advantage and hits a huge Zig Zag! AJ cheers from ringside, as he covers John Cena. 1,2, WAIT A MINUTE! SHOW BREAKS IT! Big Show hits the WMD on the referee, thus breaking the pinfall, and Ziggler asks Show what is his problem. As the two heels argue, the Cenation leader uses all of his strength to try and tag in Sheamus. But the huge story then is...SHOW KNOCKS ZIGGLER OUT! The WMD did the trick with not one, but two people tonight, as both the referee and Dolph Ziggler are knocked out thanks to the huge hand. Cena finally tags in Sheamus, who goes right for the pinfall! But there is no one to count it! Sheamus screams for the referee Jack Doan to get up, and it's to no use as he hears nothing. Ziggler is out too and Sheamus can do nothing but stay going until the awakening of the referee. Sheamus gets Ziggler in the ropes and hits the Beats of the Bodhran! Sheamus goes for the Irish Curse, but Dolph counters it into a jawbreaker! Ziggler used all of his energy, and it's down and out again. Sheamus tags Cena back in, and he goes right for the STF! Cena has the hold locked in, and Ziggler taps out! But Jack Doan sees nothing as he is still out! Cena continues with the hold anyway, knowing that Doan will hear the screams and try to look at what's happening. But before all of this can happen though... <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Dean_Ambrose_S_zpsf8edca66.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Dean_Ambrose_S_zpsf8edca66.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Roman_Reigns_S_zps7c3fa6fe.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Roman_Reigns_S_zps7c3fa6fe.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Seth_Rollins_S_zps2c6d447d.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Seth_Rollins_S_zps2c6d447d.jpg</a> Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta, SHIELD</div> The Shield comes from the crowd, and Sheamus tries to do something, but he can't as Ziggler is out, Doan is out and Cena is in the hold. The only thing that Sheamus can do is fall, as The Shield attacks him like a band of wild dogs! After Sheamus is taken out with a superkick from Rollins and a spear from Reigns in the outside, they now go after Cena. They try to go after Ziggler too, but Langston and AJ quickly pull him to the outside with his legs, and he gets out with his girlfriend, his bodyguard and his briefcase. Sheamus is out, Ziggler escaped and Show gave up in the middle of the match, and Cena is all alone in the ring. The referee finally gets on his knees, and he sees what is happening. The Shield takes out the cover of the announce table in the outside, and sets up for the Triple Powerbomb.

They hit a huge Triple Powerbomb on the Cenation leader anyway, and suddenly, everyone is out thanks to The Shield, except for one...Jack Doan has a look of fear in his eyes as The Shield start pointing at him. They quickly go to the ring so Doan has no chance to find a hideout or something. They attack him like they did with Sheamus and Cena, like a pack of wild dogs. They're the only ones that can serve justice in the ring now, as they hit a Triple Powerbomb on Jack Doan to the outside of the ring! The Shield destroyed everybody of the previous match, but they aren't done. Ambrose points to a crawling Cena once again, and he tells something to Roman Reigns. Ambrose and Rollins get Cena back on his feet in the outside, but not for long, as they use a rope to keep Cena in the barricade! Roman takes some distance, and runs to the barricade with a HUGE spear! The announcers scream HOLY SH** as nobody can believe in what happened! After some moments, Reigns gets back on his feet, and he says ''justice served'' as they go to the back, with not justice, but total destruction served. The announcers are worried with John Cena's condition as no official helps him with fear of The Shield, as we go to the last commercials. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: B+</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_W_CM_Punk2_zps74833b95.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_W_CM_Punk2_zps74833b95.jpg</a></div> As we come back from the commercials, we see that the medics finally attended to a injured John Cena as The Shield ran to the back.

Ryback grabbed one of each weapon: a Table, a Ladder and a Chair. While the first two were of no use in the start, the Chair was of a huge use as Ryback brutalized Punk's skull and body with it, and even tried to hit a early Shellshocked on the chair, but Punk slipped out from the back. Punk then started kicking Ryback's legs, as Heyman punched the canvas and screamed for his client and WWE champion. Punk's kicks were of little use, as Ryback shoved him right in the corner. Punk begged for mercy, but the big man unleashed the champ with some huge punches. He then hit a huge clothesline and screamed ''Feed Me More'' with the crowd. Ryback saw a early opportunity then, and grabbed the ladder, setting it up right in the middle of the ring. Punk grabbed his leg, but it was to no use as Ryback punched him down. Ryback then got him up and bashed his face in the ladder as he screamed. Ryback then climbed the ladder and grabbed the gold, and tried to unhook it, but Paul Heyman wasn't going to let Punk lose to Ryback, not early like that. Heyman grabbed Ryback's leg as the big man screamed for him to get out. Heyman then pulled Ryback's leg for several times, and he was finally successful as Ryback got down. But this was worse for Heyman. Ryback then went after the Loudmouth and catched him in the outside, throwing him right in the barricade. And it was not over. Ryback had more bad intentions in his mind. JBL screamed as Ryback set up the table in the outside, and HIT A HUGE SHELLSHOCKED ON THE TABLE! Heyman was out, and Ryback just had to climb the ladder... That Punk was climbing! Punk, opportunistic, was already climbing the ladder as Ryback entered the ring again. Punk was nearly at the top, and Ryback climbed in the other side. A battle of punches happened on the top of the ladder then, as both men wanted the gold more than anything else in the WWE. And the gold was just above them, and they just had to unhook it and it would be of their possession. Punk then saw that his punches were nothing against the big man, and started kicking Ryback on the top of the ladder. The kicks were effective, as Ryback fell from the ladder after a huge one! But somehow, Ryback stayed on his feet when he fell, and CM Punk saw this, and tried to get the gold quickly. But Ryback just shoved the ladder with Punk on it, and both Punk and the ladder went to the ropes, with Punk going face-first. Ryback then hit a huge Meathook that nearly took Punk's head off! Ryback then went for the Shellshocked again, but Punk countered it for the second time, this time, with hard elbows to the face. Punk then hit another huge kick on Ryback, and this time, he wanted more. Punk slowly climbed to the top of the corner, and pointed to the top. He then awaited for Ryback to turn...and he hit a huge Elbow Drop! Punk then used the ladder to get up again, and this time, he screamed that it would be ''Nap Time'' for Ryback. Ryback was already dazed and confused, and Punk went for the Go to Sleep like he said to Heyman...but it's countered into a F'N SHELLSHOCKED! The crowd is on its feet, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler are too, JBL is screaming ''NO!'' and Punk is out. Ryback now has no obstacle for his rise, and starts slowly but surely climbing the ladder! Greatness awaits Ryback at every step, and there is no one to stop him! Or is there? Paul Heyman crawls to the apron and uses the latter to get on his knees, the sufficient to see what is happening. He screams for Punk, but it's to no use. Heyman then has no choice...but to...signal to the back? <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Dean_Ambrose_S_zpsf8edca66.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Dean_Ambrose_S_zpsf8edca66.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Roman_Reigns_S_zps7c3fa6fe.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Roman_Reigns_S_zps7c3fa6fe.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Seth_Rollins_S_zps2c6d447d.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Seth_Rollins_S_zps2c6d447d.jpg</a> The Shield to the rescue</div> Then, as Heyman signals to the back, The Shield comes from it? Everyone is confused, except for Heyman himself, Punk who is seeing nothing, and Ryback, who is climbing to the top. Ryback finally gets his hand on the gold again, and starts unhooking it, but The Shield attacks him from behind! And there are no Disqualifications! The Shield punches him down until he gets in the bottom of the ladder again, and they set him up for a huge Triple Powerbomb to the outside of the ring! Cole and Lawler now are the ones who are screaming ''NO!'' and the crowd is booing heavily, as for the second time in the night, The Shield has dethroned a match. The Shield then help a confused CM Punk, getting him back on his feet and pushing his leg for the climb. Punk is confused, but he climbs anyway, and waits for the gold to get on his grasps...and it does. Punk then starts unhooking, and he does as well, retaining his championship on his first defense of 2013. <div style="text-align:right">Winner and STILL WWE champion: CM Punk, at 17:06 Rating: B</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_W_CM_Punk2_zps74833b95.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_W_CM_Punk2_zps74833b95.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Paul_Heyman_zps19446adc.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Paul_Heyman_zps19446adc.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Dean_Ambrose_S_zpsf8edca66.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Dean_Ambrose_S_zpsf8edca66.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Roman_Reigns_S_zps7c3fa6fe.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Roman_Reigns_S_zps7c3fa6fe.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Seth_Rollins_S_zps2c6d447d.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Seth_Rollins_S_zps2c6d447d.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Ryback_zps986cb921.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Ryback_zps986cb921.jpg</a></div> As the Main Event comes to a close, CM Punk is the one with his hand raised and the title.

PWInsider Reports

After reportedly causing trouble backstage, Cameron Lynn was released from her WWE contract. The WWE said that it wishes her good luck in her future endeavors.

Dawn · August 1, 2013

So there is Raw. Sorry for all the delay, but now this is back on track. The SmackDown preview should be up later tonight or tomorrow in the afternoon. Any comments would be welcomed

The Lloyd · August 1, 2013

Long one mate... Read it through and it's very good, but it's only an episode of RAW. I found that people don't have the time and are put off by huge match write ups (unless its a pay-per-view - in which case, go nuts)... I should think writing that much per match would/could take its toll on you too... making it harder than it needs to be to write. Just my thoughts on it. There's a lot of interest in it, and you had a lot of predictors... so I may be wrong. but personal preference, i'd say less is more

Overall, I enjoyed the show... Jack Doan taking one for the team, always nice... lolol... and the layout is easy on the eyes too...

RKOwnage · August 1, 2013

Personally I love the length Smash (as if you couldn't tell by my SummerSlam haha) as I think it provides for more realism and allows me to immerse myself into the show more, but I can see how people would prefer less, especially for just an episode of Raw. And especially if writing less makes it easier for you to get through everything quicker and have more fun with it.

In the end, I thought it was a very well written show. Nicely done. Glad to see Sandow pick up a win over Kane <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Dawn · August 2, 2013

Ok, so i'm going to lower the length a bit for weekly shows, except for the title matches like i did in Punk vs. Ryback; these ones are going to have a good length on shows, special events and PPVs. Thanks for the feedback, Lloyd and RKOwnage.

Not much to comment, but on the length issue... if you feel it's better to have long shows, then that's what you should do. However, it might also burn you out faster and that's why we usually save 'em for PPVs <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Glad to see that this isn't dead! I look forward to the SD! Preview <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

It's noticed by the announcers that Show knocked out Dolph Ziggler on Monday Night Raw and he can tell us more about it tonight, and that he also has a defense tonight against Alberto Del Rio. He gets a microphone nearly instantly as he enters the ring, and he says that he is a giant, and this is everything that his rivals should know: You don't want to make a giant angry, and if you do it, you're knocked out by the big right hand. He says that Dolph Ziggler made him angry after asking him what was his problem on Raw, and he saw the hand in his face. Jack Doan made him angry by nearly ending the match when he (Show) didn't tell him to do so, and he saw the hand in his face too. And perhaps Alberto Del Rio should know that with one hand, Show can end their match tonight. The crowd boos, and Show says that he is tired of the same old shit that the crowd does when he enters the arena. He says that perhaps, they're underestimating the power of the World's Largest Athlete, that can knock each and every single one of them with just one hand. The crowd boos once again, but the boos soon turn into cheers! <div style="text-align:center"> <a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Sheamus_OShaunessy_zps0e2c6a2c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Sheamus_OShaunessy_zps0e2c6a2c.jpg</a></div> The Great White, Sheamus, runs into the ring, and Show gets ready for a fight, but Sheamus already has a microphone in hand, and quickly says that he isn't there for a fight - not yet. Sheamus says that Show defeated him three times last year, but he cheated in every single one of them, and his Fellas don't like this, Fella. He says that he escaped The Shield's attack on Monday, but he can't escape on Friday, as Sheamus is always there, and the Brogue Kick is ready to strike at any moment. Show says that the Brogue Kick was always hit time after time after time on their battles, and every single time he kicked out of them. Sheamus says that he knows that it happened, but he never quits. He will fight back and will beat Big Show, and it doesn't matter if it takes a year to do it - but he's doing it! Show says that he would love to ''knock out'' some sense into that white head of Sheamus again, but then again, he has a date with a Mexican tonight. Sheamus says that he knows that - and that he came here just to say it - when Show's done with Alberto Del Rio, he is coming right after Show, Fella. Show laughs, and says that they have a deal, and he says that they will face again this year. Sheamus then finishes saying that he's going to be at Show's side tonight, like it or not, because what's a better way to beat a fat rival than taking the World title from him? <div style="text-align:right">Rating: A</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Darren_Young_zps478f2ae6.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Darren_Young_zps478f2ae6.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Titus_ONeill_zps97356b40.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Titus_ONeill_zps97356b40.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/primo_zpse3544902.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/primo_zpse3544902.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Epico_zps5f13201a.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Epico_zps5f13201a.jpg</a> w/<a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Rosa_Mendes_zps2d475ddd.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Rosa_Mendes_zps2d475ddd.jpg</a> The Prime Time Players vs. Primo & Epico (w/Rosa Mendes)</div> Both teams show great chemistry - teaming and battling, and this certainly helped this match, that went on for nearly 7 minutes. Both teams knew that they would be up in the tag ranks with a win there, and they did their best to win. Josh also remembered us that PTP and the cousins had a heated rivalry over the course of 2012, and this intensified the match even more. There were lots of styles - Young with a solid grapple showing, Titus using his power, Epico with aerial moves and Primo with fast moves on the mat. And Primo & Epico nearly used these styles to get the win - but unfortunately for them, they were caught when Primo was going for the Backstabber on Titus - but Young teased interference, bringing Epico into the ring. This distracted both the referee who stopped Epico, and Primo, who warned Young to stay out of it. And it was the sufficient for Titus to recover and catch Primo in the Clash of the Titus when he came back. <div style="text-align:right">Winners: The Prime Time Players, at 6:56 Rating: C+</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Joey_Styles2_zpsf68cd195.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Joey_Styles2_zpsf68cd195.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Alberto_Del_Rio5_zps63c677da.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Alberto_Del_Rio5_zps63c677da.jpg</a>http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q735/bazzalloyd86/WWE%20Diary%20100x100/WWE%20Diary%20NON%20Workers/Most%20Used%20Non%20Wrestlers/JesusRodriguez_zps9dc98bad.jpg</div> We cut to the backstage where Joey Styles has a huge guest - the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight championship, Alberto Del Rio.

Del Rio says that Sheamus can have the heart, he can have the spirit, and he may never quit. But there is one thing, one little but important thing that he has and Sheamus does not. And is having the win as his destiny. He says that is all written on his legacy, on his soul. He is a true World Heavyweight champion. At Mexico, El Santo was a legend, simply because it was his destiny. And Del Rio's destiny is to become a legend too - and he's starting his path to become a legend tonight, by becoming the WWE's World Heavyweight champion! And as for what Big Show said, he says that he knows that the right hand is dangerous - and he's going to expertly wear it down to make him submit to the Cross Armbreaker, and after this, Show will not be able to knock anyone out for a while! <div style="text-align:right">Rating: B</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_Raw_zps5c48a7e4.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_Raw_zps5c48a7e4.jpg</a> The Raw Rebound is brought to you by Autozone!

Both men had at least one thing that the other did not have - Jinder Mahal had Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre helping him at ringside during the match, and this certainly helped him - and Kofi Kingston had the speed and agility that Mahal could do nothing to stop. When Kingston entered his control frenzy, Mahal could do nothing but stay down. A Boom Drop was the stepping stone for a huge Trouble in Paradise - a Trouble in Paradise that ultimately knocked the hell out of Mahal, allowing Kingston to pin him and secure his spot at the huge extravaganza. <div style="text-align:right">Winner: Kofi Kingston, at 4:40 Rating: B</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Joey_Styles2_zpsf68cd195.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Joey_Styles2_zpsf68cd195.jpg</a><a href="http://media.photobucket.com/user/aolynthon/media/2008%20Roster%20Kyky/Theodore_Long.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc179/aolynthon/2008%20Roster%20Kyky/Theodore_Long.jpg</a></div> After the match, we quickly cut to the back with Joey Styles and Theodore Long. Joey says that Teddy is at his side to make two important announcements for the WWE superstars and the WWE Universe. Teddy says that he is the interim SmackDown GM and will leave when Mr. McMahon finds a suitable replacement for him - but that's not all. He's here to say that, with Kofi's win, only 2 spots are now avaible for the Royal Rumble match, and this spot will be secured by two men that are willing to impress him next week to do it. <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Darren_Young_zps478f2ae6.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Darren_Young_zps478f2ae6.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Titus_ONeill_zps97356b40.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Titus_ONeill_zps97356b40.jpg</a></div> Almost exactly as Teddy says ''impress'', the Prime Time Players enter the scene. Young says that he doesn't know if Ted did watch their match earlier tonight, but they defeated two puerto-rican insects, and that is exactly what Ted wants - something ''impressive''. Young says that if Ted doesn't know the name of the 2 last participants of the Royal Rumble Match, he's going to tell him - ''Mr. No Days Off'' Darren Young and ''The Real Deal'' Titus O'Neil, the Prime Time Players, baby! MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Justin_Gabriel_zps660ce6c6.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Justin_Gabriel_zps660ce6c6.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Tyson_Kidd_zps087b8a39.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Tyson_Kidd_zps087b8a39.jpg</a></div> Teddy thinks for a moment, before being interrupted by another duo - Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd, International Aistrike. Kidd says that he is the one that knows what Teddy wants - he does not want two guys who keep screaming ''Millions of Dollars'' when they really just get one dollar on their paycheck. He wants two guys who are ''dynamic''. He wants two guys that are ready to do it all. To break the rules. To fly to greatness. He wants two guys who are the future of the industry. And how can they prove that? Well, they didn't defeat two puerto-ricans, according to Kidd - but they DID defeat a huge japanese monster - both of them, with Kidd defeating him before Raw and Gabriel before SmackDown. Young replies, saying that the monster nearly crushed Gabriel's head on their match before the show tonight, but he wouldn't do it to the Prime Time Playas - because they're just too great. Teddy interrupts the discussion, and says that he hasn't come to a conclusion - not yet. But he would come next week, and the two men were near him. And the two men would be decided next week on SmackDown - as the Prime Time Players and International Airstrike would battle for the two remaining spots next week on a tag team match, playa! <div style="text-align:right">Rating: B-</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_IC_Wade_Barrett2_zps416e115c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_IC_Wade_Barrett2_zps416e115c.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Yoshi_Tatsu_zpsb683f4ec.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Yoshi_Tatsu_zpsb683f4ec.jpg</a> Non-title Match Wade Barrett vs. Yoshi Tatsu</div> Yoshi Tatsu has a huge spirit - and this could have helped him against the Intercontinental champion.

He says that Tatsu was just a fly on his way, and this fly was quickly destroyed, thanks to the Barrett Barrage. And the Barrett Barrage should not be underestimated like it has been recently - it has been lots of times during 2012, and this only made the Barrage stronger. And what he did to Tatsu was not even the bread of the breakfast, as he promised that he would become the World champion on 2013. He said that the Barrage was just starting its 2013, and it would be a great 2013. He said that the Barrage would destroy all the enemies that would dare come face him for the gold. But he said for them to don't worry - after all, he will eventually get tired of the Intercontinental title and go after the already mentioned World Heavyweight championship, and the Barrett Barrage would continue its rise on the WWE. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: B+</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_US_Antonio_Cesaro_zpsd147bb0a.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_US_Antonio_Cesaro_zpsd147bb0a.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Brodus_Clay2_zpsa55d6b04.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Brodus_Clay2_zpsa55d6b04.jpg</a> w/<a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Naomi2_zps06868ce8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Naomi2_zps06868ce8.jpg</a> Non-title Match Antonio Cesaro vs. Brodus Clay (w/Naomi)</div> There were lots of things that everybody thought that it would be the real game of the match during it. Brodus Clay using his size to his advantage helped him a lot throughout the course of the match, and he hit a huge splash on the United States champion, and the crowd went wild, but it wasn't the real game, it was just a close call as Cesaro kicked out. Cesaro then came back and used his wrestling skills and power to try and beat the man from Planet Funk, and the Funketeers were very worried. It was just a close call for them too when Cesaro used all of his power to try to hit the Neutralizer on Brodus, but it was not the real game as he was damaged from the start and fell to the canvas. Clay then called for the AAAAAW Funk it, but then, the real game changed the entire course of the match. Naomi entered the ring, and she started cheering for Brodus. Brodus started dancing, and she followed suit. She then pointed to the fans and Brodus turned himself to taunt for their excitement, but the excitement would soon turn into confusion as...Naomi low blowed Brodus Clay? With a blow right to the balls, Brodus slowly got to his knees, and everyone except for Cesaro and Naomi herself were confused. Naomi, angry, would then leave the ring and return to the apron, and Cesaro capitalized, hitting the Neutralizer on a now softened Brodus Clay for the non-title win. <div style="text-align:right">Winner: Antonio Cesaro, at 7:29 Rating: C+ Notes: Naomi has turned heel.

Clay is knocked out after being low blowed and then Neutralized, but the question is: Why the hell did Naomi do this? This question is quickly answered, however, as Naomi gets a microphone and Cesaro kicks Clay out of the ring, soon leaving too. Naomi says that she will cut to the point, and that the only reason that she did this is because Brodus Clay is living a fantasy. But oh no, then why did she and Cameron join him as his Funkadactyls? The reason is, according to Naomi, just business. When Vince McMahon approached her with a check back in 2012, she quickly accepted it, but Vince said that she would have to do you know what to win them week after week. She and Cameron tried and tried to continue, but Cameron even left the WWE last week because she exploded, she couldn't stand that hippo anymore. But then, she (Naomi) thought again earlier tonight, and she came up with the plan that she thinks that every non-blind idiot in the crowd saw. The crowd finally boos her, and she says that they are only proving that they are living on the fantasy of a fat idiot too! There is no Planet Funk, there is no Funkasaurus!

But anyway, he says that Randy Orton is thinking that he has no chance against the great Brad Maddox tonight. He has been held back several times over the course of 2012, but 2013 is the year of the Maddox, the year in which Brad Maddox will finally step into the light and become a World Heavyweight champion. And tonight, he is going to prove that he has what it takes by defeating Randy Orton in less than 10 minutes. Maddox leaves, and Styles puts the microphone on the mouth of Orton again, but Orton turns back and leaves. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: B</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Layla_El2_zpsb25733f0.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Layla_El2_zpsb25733f0.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Tamina_zps343a3a43.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Tamina_zps343a3a43.jpg</a> Layla vs. Tamina Snuka</div> The match was much better than the Raw Divas match, and both Layla and Tamina Snuka fought indirectly for their allies Kaitlyn and Eve, days before the scheduled Divas title match between the two.

Orton had no intentions of pinning Maddox too - he wanted to punish him and make sure that Maddox couldn't last for 10 minutes. With all of this, Maddox knew that he had to go for the dirty weapons, and he did just that, by low blowing Orton behind the referee's back. Maddox then ''dominated'' for a while, hitting some ''punches'' on Orton, but the Viper wasn't taking any more of this crap. Orton clotheslined Maddox once, then twice, and then hit the big slam. Maddox then tried to get out of the ring, but it was even worse as Orton hit the DDT! He then started signaling for the RKO, but Maddox ultimately shoved him, and rolled him up! 1,2, kickout! Maddox can't believe it, and he argues with the referee. As the clock ticks to 8 minutes in the match, Orton gets up again and stands behind his cocky opponent, that is still arguing.

With the prestigious title on the line, Del Rio desperately tried to lift the giant in the early going. His efforts were not successful, however, and Show went back on the attack when he saw the opportunity. Using his size ans strength to his advantage, Show dominated the Mexican Aristocrat with huge moves (both figuratively and literally), and the announcers, the crowd and Ricardo Rodriguez were very concerned as Del Rio was being dominated. But one wrong step changed the course of the match. Big Show went for a huge move from the top rope, but Del Rio rolled out of the way and Show went butt-first into the canvas. Del Rio then locked in the Cross Armbreaker, and the hopes were restored again. With Rodriguez and the crowd cheering on, Del Rio had all the strength of the world there. But not even this strength could outmatch Big Show's. Show got up with Del Rio still on his arm, and the Mexican didn't even break the hold with Show standing. Show then tried to take Del Rio out of his arm by swinging it with Del Rio. But Del Rio's determination kept him on the arm, and he got Show back on his knees. Show then went for the big guns, using the free arm to WMD Del Rio right in the jaw, obviously making him release the hold and also making him fall to the pinfall that secured the victory for the Big Show and another successful World Heavyweight title defense. <div style="text-align:right">Winner and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: The Big Show, at 11:04 Rating: B</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_WHT_Big_Show_zpsfa6b8143.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_WHT_Big_Show_zpsfa6b8143.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Alberto_Del_Rio5_zps63c677da.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Alberto_Del_Rio5_zps63c677da.jpg</a>http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q735/bazzalloyd86/WWE%20Diary%20100x100/WWE%20Diary%20NON%20Workers/Most%20Used%20Non%20Wrestlers/JesusRodriguez_zps9dc98bad.jpg</div> After the match, Big Show was the one with his hand raised, and he didn't smile.

And someone tried to stop Big Show, and it was Ricardo Rodriguez! Ricardo hit some punches on the back of the champion, but it was of no use, as Show didn't feel anything, and he threw Ricardo out of the ring like if he was nothing.

The crowd had a huge but mixed reaction, and AJ screamed from the ringside as Ziggler awaited for the start of his match. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: B</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_World_Heavy1_zps0b3756ca.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_World_Heavy1_zps0b3756ca.jpg</a> <a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_WHT_Big_Show_zpsfa6b8143.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_WHT_Big_Show_zpsfa6b8143.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/vs_zps48cf93c8.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Dolph_Ziggler2_zps7ed86f3b.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Dolph_Ziggler2_zps7ed86f3b.jpg</a> w/<a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/AJ_zps0a3ef93b.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/AJ_zps0a3ef93b.jpg</a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/Big_E_Langston_zpsd721252c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/Big_E_Langston_zpsd721252c.jpg</a> World Heavyweight Championship Match The Big Show vs. Dolph Ziggler (w/AJ Lee and Big E Langston)</div> The referee then started the match, and Ziggler went right for the pinfall on the Big Show, holding his injured arm, and the match was official! 1,2,3!

On Raw, he was Show's partner, but he was the one to take the title from him. AJ and Langston joined Ziggler in the ring, as he celebrated his win. As JBL said on commentary, the era of Ziggler had officially begun! Big Show had finally gone back to his feet at ringside, and he wasn't believing too. Sheamus was another one on the same situation, trying to crawl to the backstages from the ramp and occasionally looking back to the scene on the ring. It wasn't Show's, it wasn't Sheamus' and it wasn't Del Rio's. This night was all Dolph Ziggler's. The camera then focused on Ziggler once again, as the show faded to black. <div style="text-align:right">Rating: A</div></div></blockquote> ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ <div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWE%2013/WWE_Velocity_zps719d4c30.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow">http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWE%2013/WWE_Velocity_zps719d4c30.jpg</a></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36362" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center">WWE Velocity Announcers: Scott Stanford and Matt Striker Alfond Arena (New England) Attendance: 5,124 (sold out!)

Nice show! I really liked it, I totally didn't see Ziggler cashing in. After that Del Rio promo I thought he was gonna win it. I'm hooked now, solid!
