WWE Superstars (Live from the La Puntilla Arena (PR), 1,551 in Attendance)

Pre-Show: Natalya versus Summer Rae

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Natalya defeated Summer Rae in 18:04 by submission with a Sharpshooter. Natalya is starting to become a little stale in her current role and the WWE Universe in attendance tonight weren’t sure whether or not to cheer Natalya in this Divas match that went the distance. Ultimately, it was Natalya that picked up the all-important victory here after forcing Summer Rae to submit to the Sharpshooter and Natalya may now have her eyes firmly fixed on the WWE Divas Championship.

Match Rating: E

(Val Venis feels that Summer Rae needs to be booked a little smarter and that she needs shorter matches as she was totally exposed by the length of this one.)

Pre-Show: Alexander Rusev and Marcus Owens versus Hunico and Camacho

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Rusev & Owens defeated Hunico & Camacho in 17:36 when Alexander Rusev defeated Hunico by pinfall with a Big Splash. The former Funkadaktyll Cameron accompanied the team of Alexander Rusev and Marcus Owens to ringside for this match and offered vocal support as well as cheerleading throughout the match which may have been what led to Rusev and Owens getting the win here.

Match Rating: F

Pre-Show: Fatsuhiko Nakajima versus Kalisto

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Kalisto defeated Fatsuhiko Nakajima in 17:40 by pinfall with a Rising Sun. The Godfather accompanied Nakajima to ringside for this match but Kalisto was the one to get the victory.

Match Rating: F

Brodus Clay and Alex Riley versus Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Slater & McIntyre defeated Brodus & Riley in 5:45 when Heath Slater defeated Alex Riley by pinfall with a Futureshock DDT. The WWE Superstars commentary team of Josh Mathews, Joey Styles and Matt Striker discuss the future of the team of Brodus Clay and Alex Riley after they were seen in an argument backstage this past week on Monday Night RAW. Their misfortunes continue here as the 3MB pairing of Slater and McIntyre get the win.

Match Rating: D-

Following our first commercial break of the evening WWE Superstars airs the RAW Rebound which recaps events from this past week’s edition of Monday Night RAW. The show began with the new WWE Champion CM Punk making his way to the ring, without his advocate Paul Heyman, to a tirade of boos and jeers from the WWE Universe in attendance. Punk retrieved a microphone from the ringside area and proclaimed that this past Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View he righted all of the wrongs of the past few months when he defeated Randy Orton in the evening’s main event to once again become the new WWE Champion. CM Punk then says that he had been saying for months that Orton never deserved a title shot in the first place after he was banned from Friday Night SmackDown earlier this year by the SmackDown General Manager Booker T after failing to stop getting into physical confrontations. Punk said that he feels that he was put in RAW’s non-title main event against another muscled-up freak Batista as some sort of punishment from the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero for the way that Punk won the title, with another of Paul Heyman’s clients Brock Lesnar throwing Orton headfirst through a television monitor on Sunday, but that Punk doesn’t care. Punk then introduced Brock Lesnar to the ring and the pair shook hands whilst Lesnar said that any enemies of Punk and Lesnar had better watch out. Later on in the evening Punk and Lesnar tried to attack Batista backstage before Batista’s tag team partner Mason Ryan made the save and a brawl broke out between the two teams that had to be separated by officials. In the evening’s main event Paul Heyman watched at ringside as his client CM Punk defeated Batista.

Rating: B

Brie Bella versus Nicole Matthews

In an extremely short match, Brie Bella defeated Nicole Matthews in 4:50 by pinfall with a Twin Magic. The WWE Superstars commentary team note that Brie gets the win here after she swaps places with her twin sister Nikki Bella when the referee is not looking and Nikki pins Nicole Matthews.

Match Rating: E+

Following another commercial break more highlights are shown from this past week’s edition of Monday Night RAW as the holder of the WWE Championship Money in the Bank briefcase, Daniel Bryan, made his way to the ring to a tremendous ovation from the WWE Universe in attendance and said that he has always been a man of honour and that he was officially announcing that he will cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at next month’s Summerslam.

Rating: B-

Highlights are shown from this past Sunday’s Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View including Big Show winning the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank ladder match, defeating Big E Langston, the Uso’s, Curtis Axel and Damien Sandow in the process. Highlights are also shown of John Cena defeating Dolph Ziggler to retain the World title and tweets are shown from throughout the week suggesting that Cena has been playing a Journalist trying to find out who will be the next to challenge him for the World title. It is announced that tomorrow night’s SmackDown main event will see Cena team with Big Show to take on Dolph Ziggler and Curtis Axel and Big E Langston will also be in action as he will put the Intercontinental Championship on the line against Wade Barrett.

Rating: B-

Yoshi Tatsu versus David Otunga

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Yoshi Tatsu defeated David Otunga in 13:11 by pinfall with a Roundhouse Kick. The WWE Superstars commentary team note that this is a big win for Yoshi Tatsu.

Match Rating: E+

Post-Show: Richie Steamboat versus Tye Dillinger

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Tye Dillinger defeated Richie Steamboat in 13:18 by submission with a Sharpshooter. The crowd were totally turned off by having a match between jobbers on the show.

Match Rating: F

Post-Show: Xavier Woods versus Derrick Bateman

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Xavier Woods defeated Derrick Bateman in 12:45 by pinfall with a TKO. Xavier Woods was really off his game tonight but was still able to get the win.

Match Rating: E

<div style="text-align:center;">http://nsa35.casimages.com/img/2013/09/07/130907064055358234.jpg</div>

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

World Champion John Cena & Mr. Money in the Bank Big Show vs. Dolph Ziggler & Curtis Axel

The main event of tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown will see tag team action as the World Heavyweight Champion John Cena will team up with the holder of the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase Big Show to take on the team of Dolph Ziggler and Curtis Axel. This match was announced earlier this week via a tweet sent out from the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T. This past Sunday the WWE Universe witnessed John Cena defeat Dolph Ziggler at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View to retain the World Heavyweight Championship as well as Big Show come out victorious in the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank ladder match. Cena has been playing journalist all week long on Twitter speculating as to who the next challenger for the World title may be.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Big E Langston © versus Wade Barrett

Also tonight on Friday Night SmackDown we will see the WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line as Big E Langston will defend the title against Wade Barrett. The WWE Universe in attendance will likely be fully behind the Champion Big E in this one. Wade Barrett got tonight’s title opportunity after being put in a Number One Contenders match with Cody Rhodes this past Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View by the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T, which Barrett was victorious in.

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Hunico and Camacho

The WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso will be in non-title action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as they will face the Hispanic duo of Hunico and Camacho. This past Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View the WWE Universe saw Jimmy and Jey compete in their first ever Money in the Bank ladder match but it was not to be for either Superstar so tonight they will return to tag team action.

Christian versus Alberto Del Rio

This past Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Christian lost to Mark Henry whilst Alberto Del Rio was victorious over Chris Jericho in a pre-show match shown exclusively on WWE.com. Tonight these two former Champions will go head to head.

Rey Mysterio versus Damien Sandow

Rey Mysterio will be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as he will take on Damien Sandow with both Superstars looking to impress the WWE Universe as well as the General Manager Booker T with an all-important victory.

Natalya versus Summer Rae

Finally, Divas action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown will see Natalya take on Summer Rae. Both of these Divas will be eager to impress and potentially earn the next title shot against AJ Lee for the Divas Championship.</div>

Quick Picks:

World Champion John Cena & Mr. Money in the Bank Big Show vs. Dolph Ziggler & Curtis Axel

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Big E Langston © versus Wade Barrett

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Hunico and Camacho

Christian versus Alberto Del Rio

WWE Friday Night SmackDown! (Live from Sun National Bank Arena (NJ), 7,717 in Attendance)

Pre-Show: Kaitlyn versus Alicia Fox

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Alicia Fox defeated Kaitlyn in 17:47 by pinfall with a Watch Yo Face. Kaitlyn was visibly tiring towards the end of this Divas match which ultimately led to another former Divas Champion in Alicia Fox picking up the all-important victory in this one.

Match Rating: E-

Pre-Show: The Rhodes Dynasty versus Prime Time Players

In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, The Rhodes Dynasty defeated Prime Time Players in 17:35 when Cody Rhodes defeated Darren Young by pinfall with a Cross Rhodes. Goldust seemed off his game tonight but luckily for the veteran Goldust, his younger brother was on form tonight and after Goldust spent the majority of the match getting beat down by the Prime Time Players he was eventually able to tag in Cody Rhodes who won the match for his team.

Match Rating: D+

Pre-Show: Kofi Kingston versus Seth Rollins

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Seth Rollins defeated Kofi Kingston in 17:40 by pinfall with a God's Last Gift. Kofi Kingston is improving in his Performance skills but it was Seth Rollins who came out victorious here.

Match Rating: C

Friday Night SmackDown kicks off with the World Heavyweight Champion John Cena making his way to the ring to a tremendous reception from the WWE Universe in attendance. Cena says that he is very pleased to be here still as the World Heavyweight Champion after he defeated Dolph Ziggler once again this past Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View to retain his title. Cena says that he hates to say it, but when Ziggler is in the big matches he just can’t get the job done, and the majority of the success in his career only came when he was being spoon-fed success by the now Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero. Cena then says that the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T has wasted little time in making tonight’s huge tag team match which will see Cena team up with the winner of this Sunday’s World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank ladder match, Big Show, to take on the team of Dolph Ziggler and Curtis Axel. Cena says that he would also like to know tonight who will be the next in line to challenge him for the World Championship. Big Show then joins Cena in the ring and says that Daniel Bryan may have announced on RAW when he will be cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase, but that Big Show isn’t going to be so kind and that he wants Cena to know that he could cash in his title shot at any time, even after their tag team match tonight.

Rating: C+

Natalya versus Summer Rae

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Natalya defeated Summer Rae in 6:26 by pinfall with a German Suplex. Natalya is starting to become a little stale in her current role with the WWE Universe giving her a mixed reception here.

Match Rating: E

Following her victory Natalya celebrates in front of the WWE Universe before Tamina comes to the ring and tells Natalya that she may have won tonight, but she is not yet deserving of a title shot against AJ Lee. Tamina then slaps Natalya and the pair get into a brawl that has to be separated by officials.

Rating: D-

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Hunico and Camacho

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, The Uso's defeated Hunico & Camacho in 6:50 when Jey Uso defeated Hunico by pinfall with an Alley-Us. Camacho could use something to freshen his character up as the WWE Universe in attendance tonight on Friday Night SmackDown were completely bored with the big man in this non-title tag team match which saw Jimmy and Jey pick up the win.

Match Rating: D-

An unknown foreign man makes his way to the ring and introduces himself to the WWE Universe as Sylvester Lefort. The man then introduces his newest client, Aksana. The beautiful Aksana then joins Lefort in the ring until Mark Henry comes to the ring and asks Aksana to drop Lefort and go on a date with Mark Henry. Aksana asks why she should do that, and Henry says because he has just been informed that things are looking up for him as he will be challenging John Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam.

Rating: D+

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Big E Langston © versus Wade Barrett

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston in 9:18 by pinfall with The Wasteland. Wade Barrett wins the WWE Intercontinental title. Teddy Long accompanied his client Big E to the ring for this one but could not stop Barrett from becoming the new Intercontinental Champion.

Match Rating: C

Big Show is walking down the corridor backstage with his Money in the Bank briefcase when he is stopped by Dolph Ziggler. The smaller Ziggler reminds Big Show that he was the last man to successfully cash in that briefcase, and that he will see Big Show in the ring later.

Rating: B

Christian versus Alberto Del Rio

In a bout that featured great action and average heat, Alberto Del Rio defeated Christian in 8:02 by submission with a Cross Armbreaker. This was another decent victory for Del Rio following his win over Chris Jericho on Sunday.

Match Rating: C-

We cut backstage to find Paul Heyman giving a pep talk to his client Curtis Axel before he teams with Dolph Ziggler in tonight’s Friday Night SmackDown tag team main event against John Cena and Big Show.

Rating: D+

Rey Mysterio versus Damien Sandow

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Damien Sandow defeated Rey Mysterio in 7:43 by pinfall with a Terminus. This is a big win for Sandow over the former World Champion Rey Mysterio.

Match Rating: C-

Once again we cut to the office of the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T where he is settling down on the sofa to watch the evening’s main event with R-Truth, the pair’s friendship looking as strong as ever.

Rating: C-

World Champion John Cena & Mr. Money in the Bank Big Show vs. Dolph Ziggler & Curtis Axel

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, John Cena and Big Show defeated Dolph Ziggler and Curtis Axel in 13:46 when John Cena defeated Curtis Axel by pinfall with an Attitude Adjustment. Big Show was really off his game tonight which led to Ziggler and Axel beating down the big man for the majority of the match until Big Show was able to tag Cena who came in to win the match for his team.

Match Rating: C

Post-Show: Ted DiBiase versus The Miz

In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, The Miz defeated Ted DiBiase in 13:16 by pinfall with a Skull Crushing Finale. This was a decent win for the Miz who looks to become relevant again.

Match Rating: D

Post-Show: Sin Cara versus Fandango

In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, Fandango defeated Sin Cara in 12:32 by pinfall with a Shooting Star Press. Sin Cara and Fandango just don’t click at all as opponents, and it showed in their performances here.

Match Rating: D-

Final Show Rating: C+

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

Non-Title: WWE Champion CM Punk versus Chris Jericho

The main event of tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW will see the WWE Champion CM Punk take on Chris Jericho in a non-title match. Last week on Monday Night RAW CM Punk addressed the WWE Universe following his victory at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View when he once again became the new WWE Champion. Punk claimed that due to the controversial circumstances in which he won the title, with another of Paul Heyman’s clients Brock Lesnar throwing Orton head first through a television screen earlier in the evening, Punk is being given tough tests by the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero. Punk indeed faced a former WWE Champion in Batista last week on RAW and came out victorious, and tonight Punk will face another tough opponent and former foe in Chris Jericho. We also learnt last week on RAW that Daniel Bryan will be cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase against CM Punk at Summerslam. Punk will be hoping to get the all-important victory over Jericho tonight in order to build momentum heading into his first title defence at Summerslam.

Alexander Rusev and Marcus Owens versus Roman Reigns and William Regal

Also tonight on Monday Night RAW we will witness tag team action as the team of Alexander Rusev and Marcus Owens will face the former WWE Tag Team Champions Roman Reigns and William Regal. The WWE Universe in attendance tonight should be fully behind the team of Rusev and Owens in this one as both teams look to impress the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero and potentially earn a future Championship opportunity.

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Sheamus versus Randy Orton

Last week on Monday Night RAW Sheamus defeated the former United States Champion Dean Ambrose as well as Rob Van Dam in a Triple Threat match to become the new US Champion and tonight Sheamus will have to face Randy Orton in a non-title match.

US Championship Number One Contenders Match: Zack Ryder versus Bray Wyatt

Last week on Monday Night RAW Zack Ryder informed the WWE Universe that he wants to be the first challenger for the US Championship that Sheamus won last week. Tonight if Ryder can beat Bray Wyatt in this Number One Contenders match he will get a US title shot at Summerslam.

Batista versus Dean Ambrose

The “Animal” Batista will be in action tonight on Monday Night RAW as he will take on the former United States Champion Dean Ambrose. Both of these Superstars will be looking to impress the WWE Universe with a win here.

Non-Title: WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee versus Naomi

Finally, Divas action tonight on Monday Night RAW will see the WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee in action as she will take on Naomi in a non-title match. The WWE Universe in attendance should be fully behind Naomi in this one.</div>

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: WWE Champion CM Punk versus Chris Jericho

Alexander Rusev and Marcus Owens versus Roman Reigns and William Regal

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Sheamus versus Randy Orton

US Championship Number One Contenders Match: Zack Ryder versus Bray Wyatt

Batista versus Dean Ambrose

WWE Monday Night RAW (Live from Sun National Bank Arena (NJ), 8,100 in Attendance)

Pre-Show: Brie Bella versus Kharma

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Brie Bella defeated Kharma in 18:05 by pinfall with a Bella Buster. Unfortunately this match needed to be a lot shorter given who was involved with the WWE Universe in attendance still not really caring about Kharma since her return last year despite her making multiple appearances on Monday Night RAW. Nevertheless it is the beautiful Brie Bella who picks up the all-important victory in this Divas match.

Match Rating: E+

Pre-Show: Brodus Clay and Alex Riley versus Kings of Wrestling

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Kings of Wrestling defeated Brodus & Riley in 17:59 when Antonio Cesaro defeated Brodus Clay by pinfall with a K.R.S.O.N.E. The Monday Night RAW commentary team of Michael Cole, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler make their way to their positions at the broadcast table prior to this tag team match which sees Clay and Riley continue their losing streak, tonight being defeated by the Kings of Wrestling pairing of Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno.

Match Rating: D+

Pre-Show: Rob Van Dam versus Erick Rowan

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Erick Rowan defeated Rob Van Dam in 18:17 by pinfall with a Greetings from the North. Erick Rowan was visibly tiring towards the end of this match but was still able to get the win.

Match Rating: C-

Monday Night RAW kicks off with the WWE Champion CM Punk making his way to the ring to a chorus of boos from the WWE Universe in attendance. Punk retrieves a microphone from the ringside area and says that during his last historic reign with the WWE Championship he was constantly being forced into competing night after night whilst his challengers were given the night off from in-ring competition regularly. Punk says that this conspiracy continues tonight as the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero has put him in a match, non-title of course, against Chris Jericho in tonight’s main event. CM Punk says that in the past year he’s beat Jericho more times than he cares to remember but the principle is that Punk should be given a rest every now and then, even if he is the best in the world. Punk then goes onto address Daniel Bryan, who last week announced that he will be cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase against Punk at Summerslam. Punk says that he and Daniel Bryan are the only two Superstars on this planet to have won two Money in the Bank ladder matches, but that whilst Punk successfully cashed in his on both occasions, Daniel Bryan will fall short at Summerslam. Punk then introduces another of Paul Heyman’s clients, Brock Lesnar. Punk hands Lesnar the microphone and the “Beast” says that unlike Randy Orton, he doesn’t even think Daniel Bryan is worth weakening before Summerslam.

Rating: B

Non-Title: WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee versus Naomi

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, AJ Lee defeated Naomi in 7:23 by pinfall with a Shining Wizard. Tamina accompanied the Divas Champion AJ Lee to ringside for tonight’s match and was an imposing figure outside the ring.

Match Rating: D-

After her victory the Divas Champion AJ Lee celebrates in the ring with her associate Tamina until Stephanie McMahon’s music hits. Stephanie comes to the ring and tells AJ that she will be putting her title on the line at Summerslam, but that Stephanie isn’t going to let AJ know who her opponent is just yet.

Rating: C

Alexander Rusev and Marcus Owens versus Roman Reigns and William Regal

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Reigns & Regal defeated Rusev & Owens in 7:29 when Roman Reigns defeated Alexander Rusev by submission. Cameron, the former Funkadactyll, accompanied the team of Alexander Rusev and Marcus Owens to ringside for this match and offered cheerleading as well as vocal support throughout the match but it was Reigns and Regal who picked up the victory.

Match Rating: D

Daniel Bryan comes to the ring with his Money in the Bank briefcase to a tremendous ovation from the WWE Universe in attendance. Bryan says that despite what Punk said earlier, Daniel Bryan will leave Summerslam as the new WWE Champion.

Rating: B-

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Sheamus versus Randy Orton

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Sheamus defeated Randy Orton in 8:28 by pinfall with a Brogue Kick. Cole and Lawler note that this is an impressive victory for Sheamus whilst JR questions whether or not Orton is back to 100% yet.

Match Rating: C+

Randy Orton sits down in the ring following his loss when Mick Foley comes to the ring to a rapturous ovation from the WWE Universe. Foley tells Orton that he needs to show the aggression he once showed against Foley, but Orton simply leaves the ring and heads to the back. Kevin Nash then comes to the ring and drops Foley with a Jackknife Powerbomb.

Rating: B-

US Championship Number One Contenders Match: Zack Ryder versus Bray Wyatt

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Zack Ryder defeated Bray Wyatt in 6:44 by submission. The commentary team note that due to Ryder’s victory he will now challenge Sheamus for the US title at Summerslam.

Match Rating: C

We cut backstage to find John Bradshaw Layfield standing by for an interview with the US Champion Sheamus, who tells JBL that he will beat Zack Ryder at Summerslam just like he beat Randy Orton tonight.

Rating: B-

Batista versus Dean Ambrose

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Dean Ambrose defeated Batista in 8:23 by pinfall with a Midnight Special. Renee Young accompanied Batista to ringside but her presence was not enough to see Batista claim victory.

Match Rating: C-

We cut backstage to find Jo Jo in the Divas locker-room when Eva Marie walks into the room. Eva Marie tells Jo Jo that she doesn’t think the WWE Universe has room for both of them. Eva then slaps Jo Jo before leaving the room.

Rating: F

We cut to the office of the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero who is telling her assistant Brad Maddox to make it official, Reigns and Regal will challenge the Uso’s for the WWE Tag Team Championships at Summerslam.

Rating: D

In a match that had excellent in-ring action and great heat from the audience, CM Punk defeated Chris Jericho in 12:55 by submission with an Anaconda Vice. Paul Heyman accompanied his client CM Punk to ringside.

Match Rating: B+

Post-Show: Ryback versus Luke Harper

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

Jason Jordan versus Aiden English

The main event of tonight’s edition of NXT will see two emerging competitors get the chance to look to impress the NXT Universe inside what is likely to be a sold out NXT Arena as Jason Jordan will take on Aiden English. Both of these men will know that they are being given a big opportunity tonight by the NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes and should do all they can in their power to pick up the all-important victory.

Drake Younger versus Bo Dallas

Also tonight on NXT we will see Drake Younger face Bo Dallas with both men hoping to impress not only the NXT Universe inside what is sure to be a packed out NXT Arena but also the NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes as well as WWE management who regularly tune in to NXT looking to find the next breakout star.

Bayley versus Charlotte

Finally, Divas action tonight on NXT will see Bayley take on the daughter of the WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, Charlotte. Last week on NXT Bayley faced Eve Torres with the NXT Women’s Championship on the line but it was Eve that left as the first ever NXT Women’s Champion.</div>

WWE NXT (Live from the Gainesville Civic Center (GA), 715 in Attendance)

We kick off tonight’s NXT with the camera positioned backstage filming the beautiful former WWE Divas Champion Kelly Kelly in the Divas locker-room applying her make-up. Eve Torres, the first ever NXT Women’s Champion, who defeated Bayley last week on NXT to become the first ever NXT Women’s Champion, then walks into the room. Eve asks Kelly why she’s bothering to make herself like such a whore tonight, as she doesn’t even have a match tonight. Eve says that the NXT Universe inside the sold out NXT Arena are likely thrilled that they don’t have to witness Kelly compete tonight but are also devastated that they will also not be seeing their NXT Women’s Champion Eve Torres in action. Kelly tells Eve that she made it clear last week, and that she will be petitioning to the NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes that she wants to be the first one to challenge Eve for that title. Eve says that Dusty Rhodes clearly isn’t interested in what Kelly wants, as she isn’t even competing tonight with Bayley, who Eve defeated last week, competing against Charlotte, the daughter of the WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, in the only Divas match tonight. Eve tells Kelly that they’ve had many battles over the years on both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown in front of the WWE Universe, but that it was always Eve that came out on top in all of them, and that history is now beginning to repeat itself here on NXT. Eve tells Kelly that the only reason she came to NXT is because she wasn’t brave enough to stand up to the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero and that the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T didn’t want Kelly anywhere near his show. Kelly asks Eve why she’s here, as it seems a bit strange that Dusty Rhodes announced that Eve would be competing on NXT just days after she was asked out on a date by Mark Henry. Kelly asks Eve if she’s really shallow enough to run away rather than be honest and admit that she’s too shallow to date Mark Henry. Kelly says that Eve must be regretting her decision now that it’s been announced that Mark Henry will be challenging John Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam, and that Eve missed the chance to date a potential World Champion now that Mark Henry has seemingly turned his attentions to Aksana. Eve says that she has her own reasons for coming to NXT and that they have clearly paid off now that she has made history by becoming the first ever NXT Women’s Champion, as well as being a former WWE Divas Champion. Eve says that this title will propel her back into the Divas Championship picture, and that after Stephanie McMahon told the Divas Champion AJ Lee that she will put her title on the line against somebody at Summerslam but refused to reveal the challenger last night, perhaps Eve is already in line to become a double Champion? Eve Torres says that she is an Every-Man, and doing this for every-man and every-woman who felt that they could not achieve greatness. Kelly says that Eve isn’t an Every Man, but that she has almost slept with every man. Kelly says that she is a great Diva and that when her time comes she will beat Eve to become the NXT Women’s Champion. Eve then shrugs her shoulders and leaves the room as NXT heads to its first commercial break of the evening.

Rating: C

Bayley versus Charlotte

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Charlotte defeated Bayley in 8:05 by submission with a Figure-Four Leglock. Following our first commercial break of the evening the NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes welcomes the television audience back to NXT for our first match which sees Bayley take on the daughter of the WWE Hall of Famer the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, Charlotte. Bayley receives a decent response from the NXT Universe inside the NXT Arena whilst Charlotte is greeted by boos from the fans inside the sold out NXT Arena. This is a decent match that ends with Charlotte getting the all-important victory after Bayley taps out to the infamous Figure-Four Leglock.

Match Rating: E-

Drake Younger versus Bo Dallas

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Drake Younger and Bo Dallas went to a time limit draw in 20:00 after the twenty-minute time limit expired. Following another commercial break the NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes welcomes the television audience back to NXT for our second match which sees Drake Younger take on Bo Dallas. This match goes the distance with the NXT Universe inside the sold out NXT Arena showing respect for both men as they compete for twenty minutes until the time limit expires. With both the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero as well as the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T regularly watching NXT looking for the next break-out star, you’d imagine they had to be impressed with the performances of both of these men tonight.

Match Rating: E

Jason Jordan versus Aiden English

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Aiden English defeated Jason Jordan in 8:17 by pinfall with a DDT. Following our final commercial break of the evening the NXT Universe inside the NXT Arena welcome Aiden English to the ring for his main event match against Jason Jordan. The NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes notes on commentary that this is a big opportunity for both men to impress and the match sees Aiden English emerge victorious.

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

Yoshi Tatsu versus David Otunga

The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE Superstars will see the only Harvard Law School Graduate in the WWE David Otunga in action as he will take on the Superstar from the Orient, Yoshi Tatsu. The WWE Universe in attendance tonight should be fully behind Yoshi Tatsu in this one as both competitors look to pick up the all-important victory to impress both the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero as well as the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T.

Brodus Clay and Alex Riley versus Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre

Also tonight on WWE Superstars we will witness tag team action as the team of Brodus Clay and Alex Riley will face two-thirds of the three man band known as 3MB in Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre. Brodus Clay and Alex Riley have been on somewhat of a losing streak as of late but would like to show the WWE Universe that they are on the same page with a win over 3MB tonight, who may have their third member Jinder Mahal in their corner at ringside.

Brie Bella versus Nicole Matthews

Finally, Divas action tonight on WWE Superstars will see the beautiful Brie Bella in action as she will take on Nicole Matthews. Stephanie McMahon told AJ Lee this past week on Monday Night RAW that AJ will be putting her Divas title on the line at Summerslam but refused to reveal who the challenger will be, so both Brie and Nicole Matthews will be looking to impress tonight.</div>

Quick Picks:

Yoshi Tatsu versus David Otunga

Brodus Clay and Alex Riley versus Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre

Brie Bella versus Nicole Matthews

(Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month.)

WWE Superstars (Live from the Rahway Recreation Center (NJ), 1,500 in Attendance)

Pre-Show: Nikki Bella versus Raquel Diaz

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Nikki Bella defeated Raquel Diaz in 18:13 by pinfall with a Twin Magic. Unfortunately this match needed to be a lot shorter given who was involved with the WWE Universe in attendance not caring too much about Raquel Diaz despite her being the daughter of the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero as well as the late, great WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero. Nikki Bella picks up the all-important victory in this one after she swaps places with her twin sister Brie Bella whilst the referee is distracted.

Match Rating: E-

Pre-Show: Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara versus Hunico and Camacho

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Mysterio & Cara defeated Hunico & Camacho in 17:52 when Sin Cara defeated Camacho by pinfall with a 619 into a Splash. Camacho has changed his look and now wears many Celtic symbols on his body and looks a little like a “Celtic Warrior”, not too dissimilar to Sheamus. Mysterio and Sin Cara get the win in this one after Mysterio hits a 619 and then tags in Sin Cara who hits a Splash to gain the pinfall victory.

Match Rating: D

Pre-Show: Sami Zayn versus Colin Cassady

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Sami Zayn defeated Colin Cassady in 18:07 by pinfall with a Brainbuster. This match was far too long given who was involved with the WWE Universe in attendance not caring for Colin Cassady.

Match Rating: E-

Brodus Clay and Alex Riley versus Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Slater & McIntyre defeated Brodus & Riley in 5:35 when Heath Slater defeated Alex Riley by pinfall with a Futureshock DDT. Heath Slater was really off his game tonight which led to Brodus and Riley being on the offensive of Slater for the majority of the match until Slater was able to tag in McIntyre who hit the Futureshock DDT on Riley then tagged Slater back in who pinned Riley to get the win for his team.

Match Rating: D-

Following our first commercial break of the evening WWE Superstars airs the RAW Rebound which recaps events from this past week’s edition of Monday Night RAW. The show began with the WWE Champion CM Punk making his way to the ring to a chorus of boos and jeers from the WWE Universe in attendance. Punk retrieved a microphone from the ringside area and said that he was being victimized by the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero and that the conspiracy would continue this past week on RAW as Punk would take on Chris Jericho in the evening’s non-title main event. Punk said that he has defeated Chris Jericho more times than he cares to remember over the past year and that he would defeat Jericho again in the evening’s main event. Following Daniel Bryan’s announcement last week that he will cash in his WWE Championship Money in the Bank briefcase against CM Punk at Summerslam, Punk claimed that he is confident that he will retain his title at Summerslam. CM Punk then introduced another of Paul Heyman’s clients in Brock Lesnar. The “Beast” Brock Lesnar joined CM Punk in the ring and said that unlike Randy Orton, Lesnar doesn’t even think that Daniel Bryan is worth attacking and weakening before Summerslam. In the evening’s main event CM Punk, with Paul Heyman at ringside, defeated Chris Jericho.

Rating: B

Brie Bella versus Nicole Matthews

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Brie Bella defeated Nicole Matthews in 6:13 by pinfall with a Bella Buster. The WWE Superstars commentary team of Josh Mathews, Joey Styles and Matt Striker discuss Stephanie McMahon’s announcement this past week on Monday Night RAW that AJ Lee will put her Divas title on the line at Summerslam but refusing to let AJ know who her opponent will be yet.

Match Rating: E+

Following another commercial break WWE Superstars airs more highlights from this past week’s edition of Monday Night RAW including the winner of the WWE Championship Money in the Bank ladder match at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View, Daniel Bryan, making his way to the ring to a tremendous ovation from the WWE Universe in attendance. Once in the ring Daniel Bryan retrieved a microphone and as he was given the night off from competing by the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero, Daniel Bryan addressed the WWE Universe, proclaiming that he will defeat CM Punk at Summerslam and leave Summerslam as the new WWE Champion.

Rating: B-

Highlights are shown from this past week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown as the show began with the World Heavyweight Champion John Cena making his way to the ring to a tremendous ovation from the WWE Universe in attendance and wanting to know who the next challenger for his World title will be. Big Show, the holder of the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase, then came to the ring and told Cena that he can cash in his title shot at any time. Later on in the evening Mark Henry announced that he will be challenging Cena for the World title at Summerslam and in the evening’s main event Cena and Big Show defeated Dolph Ziggler and Curtis Axel. A tweet is then shown from Booker T announcing tomorrow night’s tag team main event which will see Cena team with Big Show again to take on Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler.

Rating: B-

Yoshi Tatsu versus David Otunga

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Yoshi Tatsu defeated David Otunga in 13:13 by pinfall with a Roundhouse Kick. The WWE Universe note that this is Yoshi Tatsu’s second straight main event victory over Otunga on Superstars.

Post-Show: Richie Steamboat versus Tye Dillinger

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Tye Dillinger defeated Richie Steamboat in 13:25 by pinfall with a Death Valley Driver. The crowd were totally turned off by this match and didn’t care about either Superstar.

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

World Champion John Cena & Mr. Money in the Bank Big Show versus Mark Henry & Dolph Ziggler

The main event of tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown was announced earlier this week by a tweet sent out by the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T and will see the World Heavyweight Champion John Cena team up with the holder of the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase Big Show to take on the team of Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler. Last week on SmackDown John Cena came to the ring and addressed the WWE Universe, claiming that he wanted to know who his next challenger for the World title will be. Big Show then joined Cena in the ring and said that although Daniel Bryan announced on Monday Night RAW that he will be cashing in his WWE Championship Money in the Bank briefcase at Summerslam, Big Show won’t be so kind to Cena as to give him warning as to when he will cash in his briefcase. Later on in the evening last week Mark Henry announced that he will be challenging Cena for the World title at Summerslam. Who will pick up the all-important tag team victory tonight to build momentum heading into Summerslam?

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Prime Time Players

The WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso will also be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as they will face the Prime Time Players pairing of Darren Young and Titus O’Neil in a non-title match. The WWE Universe will likely be fully behind Jimmy and Jey in this one who will hope to gain a victory here heading into their next title defence at Summerslam against Roman Reigns and William Regal.

Non-Title: WWE Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett versus Cody Rhodes

Last week on Friday Night SmackDown Wade Barrett defeated the former Intercontinental Champion Big E Langston to become the new Intercontinental Champion. Tonight on SmackDown Barrett will take on Cody Rhodes in a non-title match.

Christian versus Alberto Del Rio

Two former World Heavyweight Champions will go head to head tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as Christian will take on Alberto Del Rio in a match that should see the WWE Universe in attendance in support of Christian.

Goldust versus Damien Sandow

The bizarre Goldust will be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as he will take on Damien Sandow. Both of these Superstars will be hoping to impress the WWE Universe as well as Booker T with a victory tonight.

Natalya versus Alicia Fox

Finally, Divas action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown will see Natalya take on Alicia Fox. This past week on Monday Night RAW Stephanie McMahon told AJ Lee that she will put her Divas title on the line at Summerslam but refused to reveal who her opponent will be.</div>

Quick Picks:

World Champion John Cena & Mr. Money in the Bank Big Show versus Mark Henry & Dolph Ziggler

Non-Title: WWE Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett versus Cody Rhodes

Pre-Show: Kaitlyn versus Rosa Mendes

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Rosa Mendes defeated Kaitlyn in 18:26 by pinfall with a Hell Makeover. Kaitlyn was visibly tiring towards the end of this Divas match that went the distance with Rosa Mendes having the superior physical conditioning over the former Divas Champion Kaitlyn, possibly due to the demanding schedule that Kaitlyn had whilst she was the Divas Champion. Due to being in better shape Rosa Mendes was able to pick up the all-important victory in this one.

Match Rating: E-

Pre-Show: Trent Barreta and Yoshi Tatsu versus Hunico and Camacho

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Hunico & Camacho defeated Trent & Yoshi in 18:29 when Camacho defeated Trent Barreta by submission. Hunico was really off his game tonight which led to the high-flying pairing of Trent Barreta and Yoshi Tatsu working on Hunico for the majority of the match until Hunico was eventually able to tag in his friend and tag team partner Camacho who immediately cleaned house before forcing Barreta to tap out to pick up the win for his team.

Match Rating: E-

Pre-Show: Kofi Kingston versus Seth Rollins

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Seth Rollins defeated Kofi Kingston in 18:01 by pinfall with a God's Last Gift. Rollins continues to look on the up whilst Kingston is struggling to gain any momentum at the moment.

Match Rating: C

Friday Night SmackDown begins with the World Heavyweight Champion John Cena making his way to the ring to a tremendous response from the WWE Universe in attendance. Once in the ring Cena is quick to retrieve a microphone from the ringside area and proclaim that he enjoyed teaming up with Big Show last week and that he is pleased that the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T has given them another tag team match as they will take on the team of Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler. Cena says that last week Mark Henry announced that he will be challenging John Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam, and after Henry’s victory over Christian, Cena agrees that Henry is probably deserving of a title opportunity. However, Cena argues, Mark Henry seems more occupied at the moment with trying to get in the skirt of Aksana, who seems to have a new guy following her around by the name of Sylvester Lefort. Cena says that Mark Henry better be focused on Cena come Summerslam and that he looks forward to seeing Henry in the ring in tonight’s main event. Big Show, the holder of the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase, then comes to the ring. Big Show says that unlike Daniel Bryan letting CM Punk know on Monday Night RAW when he will cash his Money in the Bank briefcase in, Big Show warns Cena that he could cash in his title opportunity at any time, maybe even tonight.

Rating: B-

Natalya versus Alicia Fox

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Natalya defeated Alicia Fox in 7:17 by pinfall with a German Suplex. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team of Josh Mathews, Joey Styles and Matt Striker note that we still do not know who AJ Lee will defend her Divas title against at Summerslam.

Match Rating: E+

Following her victory Natalya celebrates in front of the WWE Universe until Tamina and Layla come to the entrance-way and Tamina has a microphone in her hand. Tamina tells Kaitlyn that if she is chosen to challenge AJ for the Divas title at Summerslam then AJ will beat and embarrass her just as much as she did to the former Divas Champion Kaitlyn.

Rating: D

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Prime Time Players

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, The Uso's defeated Prime Time Players in 6:43 when Jey Uso defeated Titus O'Neil by pinfall with an Alley-Us. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team note that Vickie Guerrero announced this past week on Monday Night RAW that Jimmy and Jey will be putting their titles on the line against Roman Reigns and William Regal at Summerslam.

Match Rating: D

Sylvester Lefort comes to the ring and for the second week in a row introduces his newest client, Aksana. The beautiful Aksana then joins Lefort in the ring until they are interrupted by Mark Henry. The big man Mark Henry tells Lefort that he better stand down as after he takes the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam he wants Aksana on his arm as well.

Rating: D

Non-Title: WWE Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett versus Cody Rhodes

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Wade Barrett defeated Cody Rhodes in 7:58 by pinfall with The Wasteland. Cody Rhodes is improving in Performance skills but was not able to get the win here.

Match Rating: C-

We cut backstage to find both Kaitlyn as well as Summer Rae flirting with Big E Langston. Big E tells the Divas that he’s ditched Teddy Long now but is confident that he can win back the Intercontinental title from Wade Barrett in their rematch at Summerslam.

Rating: D+

Christian versus Alberto Del Rio

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Alberto Del Rio defeated Christian in 7:41 by submission with a Cross Armbreaker. This was another impressive victory for Del Rio over another former World Champion in Christian.

Match Rating: C

We cut backstage to find Big Show preparing for tonight’s main event when Dolph Ziggler storms into the room. Dolph Ziggler wastes no time in challenging Big Show to a match at Summerslam, which Big Show accepts. Ziggler then leaves the room as Big Show smiles.

Rating: B-

Goldust versus Damien Sandow

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Damien Sandow defeated Goldust in 6:44 by pinfall with a Terminus. Goldust and Damien Sandow don’t seem to click as opponents and it made for an awkward bout.

Match Rating: D+

We cut backstage to find Rey Mysterio discussing something with his tag team partner Sin Cara when Primo and Epico rush into the room. Primo and Epico throw Mysterio and Cara into the lockers before fleeing the scene.

Rating: D-

We once again cut to the office of the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T to find him settling down on the sofa to watch tonight’s tag team main event match with his good friend R-Truth.

Rating: C-

World Champion John Cena and Mr. Money in the Bank Big Show vs. Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, John Cena and Big Show defeated Mark Henry and Dolph Ziggler in 13:15 when John Cena defeated Mark Henry by submission with an STF. This was an impressive victory for Cena over Mark Henry heading into Summerslam in a few weeks when Mark Henry will challenge John Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship, this time in a one on one match.

Match Rating: C+

Post-Show: The Great Khali versus The Miz

In a match that had some good action and average heat, The Miz defeated The Great Khali in 12:44 by pinfall with a Skull Crushing Finale. The Great Khali was visibly tiring towards the end of this match that the announce team stay to watch.

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

WWE Champ CM Punk & US Champ Sheamus vs. Mr. Money in the Bank Daniel Bryan & Zack Ryder

The main event of tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW will see the WWE Champion CM Punk team up with the WWE United States Champion Sheamus in tag team action to take on the holder of the WWE Championship Money in the Bank briefcase Daniel Bryan and his partner Zack Ryder. The WWE Champion CM Punk has been complaining to the WWE Universe in recent weeks about being forced to compete by the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero whilst his challengers are given the night off but Punk cannot complain tonight as on the other side of the ring from him tonight will be Daniel Bryan, the Superstar that will cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase against CM Punk this Sunday at Summerslam. CM Punk’s partner tonight, Sheamus, will also be facing his Summerslam opponent tonight as this Sunday Sheamus will put his United States Championship on the line against Zack Ryder. CM Punk’s advocate Paul Heyman as well as his associate Brock Lesnar may not be too far away from the action in this one.

Batista and Mason Ryan versus Roman Reigns and William Regal

This Sunday at Summerslam Roman Reigns and William Regal will challenge Jimmy and Jey Uso for the WWE Tag Team Championships after the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero told her assistant Brad Maddox last week on Monday Night RAW to make the match official following a string of impressive victories for Reigns and Regal. Tonight Reigns and Regal will look to pick up another all-important victory heading into Summerslam as they will take on the team of Batista and Mason Ryan.

Randy Orton versus Leo Kruger

Randy Orton was told by the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero a few weeks ago that Orton would have to work his way back up if he wants to earn another shot at the WWE Championship and Orton’s journey continues tonight as he will take on Leo Kruger.

Chris Jericho versus Kenny King

Chris Jericho, ever-popular among the WWE Universe, will also be in action tonight on Monday Night RAW as he will take on Kenny King. A win for Kenny King in this one would surely gain the attentions of the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero.

Rob Van Dam versus Tensai

“Mr. Monday Night RAW” Rob Van Dam will also be in action tonight as he will take on Tensai. The WWE Universe in attendance should be fully behind RVD in this one as both Superstars look to impress.

Non-Title: WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee versus Emma

Finally, the WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee will be in non-title action tonight on Monday Night RAW as she will face Emma. Stephanie McMahon announced last week that AJ will put her title on the line at Summerslam but has so far refused to reveal her opponent.</div>

Quick Picks:

WWE Champ CM Punk & US Champ Sheamus vs. Mr. Money in the Bank Daniel Bryan & Zack Ryder

Batista and Mason Ryan versus Roman Reigns and William Regal

Pre-Show: Audrey Marie versus Sexy Star

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Audrey Marie defeated Sexy Star in 18:08 by pinfall with a Round Up. Audrey Marie was visibly tiring towards the end of this Divas match that went the distance with Sexy Star clearly having the superior physical conditioning between the two Divas. In truth this match wasn’t great, likely due to Audrey Marie being so tired towards the end of the match. However, despite her lack of fitness, Audrey Marie was still able to pick up the all-important victory here.

Match Rating: F+

Pre-Show: Alexander Rusev and Marcus Owens versus Kings of Wrestling

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Kings of Wrestling defeated Rusev & Owens in 17:32 when Antonio Cesaro defeated Alexander Rusev by pinfall with a K.R.S.O.N.E. Cameron accompanied the team of Alexander Rusev and Marcus Owens to ringside for this one and the former Funkadactyll Cameron offered cheerleading as well as vocal support throughout the match but her presence was not enough to lead her team to victory as Cesaro pinned Rusev to pick up the win for his team.

Match Rating: D-

Pre-Show: Xavier Woods versus Bray Wyatt

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Bray Wyatt defeated Xavier Woods in 18:13 by pinfall with a Standing Senton Splash. Bray Wyatt was visibly tiring towards the end of this match but was still able to get the victory.

Match Rating: D+

The live television broadcast of Monday Night RAW kicks off with the WWE Champion CM Punk making his way to the ring to a chorus of boos and jeers from the WWE Universe in attendance. Once in the ring CM Punk takes a microphone from the ringside area and says that this Sunday at Summerslam Daniel Bryan will embarrass himself when he cashes in his WWE Championship Money in the Bank briefcase and be the only the second Superstar in history to fail to win the title. CM Punk says that he and Daniel Bryan are the only two Superstars to have won the Money in the Bank ladder match on two separate occasions, and that every time Punk cashed it in he did it when his opponent was least expecting it. Punk says that Daniel Bryan is foolish to think that he can beat Punk after giving him notice and that Punk is for once pleased with the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero for giving Punk a chance to prove just how much better he is than Daniel Bryan in tonight’s tag team main event when Punk teams with the US Champion Sheamus to take on Daniel Bryan and Zack Ryder. Punk then introduces another Paul Heyman associate, Brock Lesnar, to the ring. Lesnar says that Daniel Bryan better have eyes in the back of his head all week heading into Summerslam.

Rating: B

Non-Title: WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee versus Tamina

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, AJ Lee defeated Emma in 7:26 by pinfall with a Shining Wizard. Tamina accompanied the Divas Champion AJ Lee to ringside for this match and was an intimidating presence at ringside.

Match Rating: D-

Following her victory AJ Lee stands in the ring with her associate Tamina when a member of the broadcast team Scott Stanford comes to the ring for an interview.

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Rob Van Dam defeated Tensai in 8:22 by pinfall with a Five Star Frog Splash. The Monday Night RAW commentary team of Michael Cole, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler note that this is a decent win for RVD.

Rating: D

The Kings of Wrestling duo of Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno come to the ring flanked by their manager Zeb Colter, who calls out Brodus Clay and Alex Riley. Clay and Riley then come to the ring when the lights go out and when they come back on Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are in the ring.

Paul Heyman comes to the ring prior to tonight’s Monday Night RAW tag team main event and Heyman tells the WWE Universe that Daniel Bryan will never achieve the success that CM Punk has. Bryan then comes to the ring and Heyman quickly leaves the ring.

WWE Champ CM Punk & US Champ Sheamus vs. Mr. Money in the Bank Daniel Bryan & Zack Ryder

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, CM Punk and Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan and Zack Ryder in 12:47 when CM Punk defeated Zack Ryder by pinfall with a Go to Sleep. Paul Heyman accompanied his client CM Punk to ringside for tonight’s Monday Night RAW tag team main event and offered vocal support to Punk throughout the match which may have led to Punk picking up the win for his team.

Match Rating: B

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

Non-Title: NXT Champion Justin Gabriel versus Jinder Mahal

The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE NXT will see the NXT Champion Justin Gabriel in action as he will take on one third of the three man band known as 3MB in Jinder Mahal. The NXT Universe in attendance inside what is sure to be an almost sold out NXT Arena will fully be behind Justin Gabriel in this one. An all-important victory for Jinder Mahal over the NXT Champion could well lead to him earning a future shot at the NXT Championship and the NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes is sure to be paying close attention.

Santino Marella versus Curt Hawkins

Also tonight on NXT we will see Santino Marella competing in front of the NXT Universe inside the NXT Arena for the first time in almost a year as he will take on Curt Hawkins. Both of these competitors have experience competing in front of the WWE Universe on both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown and the NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes is likely to be very pleased to have them both competing on NXT tonight.

NXT Women’s Champion Eve Torres and Charlotte versus Alexa Bliss and Hailey Hatred

Finally, tag team action tonight on NXT will see the NXT Women’s Champion Eve Torres team up with the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, Charlotte, to take on the team of Alexa Bliss and Hailey Hatred. Bliss and Hatred will be looking to impress the NXT Universe inside the NXT Arena in a match against the NXT Women’s Champion as well as the NXT Commissioner Dusty Rhodes and potentially earn a future title opportunity.

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: NXT Champion Justin Gabriel versus Jinder Mahal

Santino Marella versus Curt Hawkins

NXT Women’s Champion Eve Torres and Charlotte versus Alexa Bliss and Hailey Hatred

(Predictions are welcomed, there will be a prediction contest held every month.)

WWE NXT (Live from the Gainesville Civic Center (GA), 711 in Attendance)

NXT Women’s Champion Eve Torres and Charlotte versus Alexa Bliss and Hailey Hatred

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Eve Torres and Charlotte defeated Alexa Bliss and Hailey Hatred in 7:32 when Charlotte defeated Hailey Hatred by submission with a Figure-Four Leg-Lock. The NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes welcomes the television audience to tonight’s episode of NXT to kick off the show. Dusty Rhodes is the sole announcer on NXT following the former announce team of Byron Saxton and William Regal being called up to compete in front of the WWE Universe on the main WWE roster earlier this year. Dusty Rhodes informs the television audience that in tonight’s non-title main event the NXT Champion Justin Gabriel will be in action as he will take on one-third of the three man band known as 3MB in Jinder Mahal. Our opening match tonight sees Divas tag team action and Alexa Bliss and Hailey Hatred make their way to the ring first, to a decent reaction from the NXT Universe inside the almost sold out NXT Arena. Charlotte, the daughter of the WWE Hall of Famer the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair then makes her way to the ring, followed by the NXT Women’s Champion Eve Torres. All four of these Divas look to make an impression tonight and put on a decent match. Both Alexa Bliss and Hailey Hatred likely know that a victory, albeit in tag team action, over the NXT Women’s Champion, could well lead to one of them being given a future title opportunity. Eve Torres has years or experience competing in front of the main WWE Universe on both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown and her and Charlotte dominate the majority of this match. Charlotte must know that she is likely destined for great things being the daughter of the sixteen time World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair and Charlotte as well as all of the other competitors also know that the higher ups in WWE management such as the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero as well as the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T regularly watch NXT looking for the next breakout star. All four of these Divas wanted to impress and pick up the all-important victory for their teams tonight and will also likely have their eyes firmly fixed on Summerslam this Sunday when AJ Lee will put her Divas Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Natalya as well as a Diva who has made several appearances on NXT over the past year and got her big break on NXT, Paige. The Divas Championship is the ultimately prize for Women in this industry but Eve is making history, not only being the first ever NXT Women’s Champion but also the first ever Diva to have held both the NXT Women’s Championship as well as the WWE Divas Championship. It was just last week on NXT that Eve Torres got into a backstage confrontation with another former Divas Champion in Kelly Kelly, after Eve told Kelly that she was representing the “Every-Man” as NXT Women’s Champion whilst Kelly told Eve that she means that she has slept with every man. Despite being the daughter of one of the greatest of all time in Ric Flair, Charlotte comes across as the “Girl-Next-Door” and did not seem overly arrogant in this match. Alexa Bliss, despite her relative lack of experience, is clearly a Legitimate Athlete and on the rare occasions where Alexa and Hailey were on the offensive in this match, Alexa impressed with her feats of athleticism. Hailey Hatred didn’t really show much in this match and she ended up submitting to Charlotte and the famous Figure-Four Leg-Lock to gift Eve and Charlotte the victory in tonight’s opening contest.

Match Rating: D-

Santino Marella versus Curt Hawkins

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Curt Hawkins defeated Santino Marella in 8:08 by pinfall with a Heatseeking Elbow Drop. Following our first commercial break of the evening the NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes welcomes us back to NXT for our second match of the evening and Santino Marella then makes his way to the ring to a great reaction from the NXT Universe in attendance inside the almost sold out NXT Arena. Curt Hawkins then comes to the ring and these two have a back-and-forth match. Both Santino as well as Curt Hawkins have years of experience competing in front of the WWE Universe on both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown and will be hoping that a decent run of victories on NXT will once again gain the attentions of members of WWE management such as the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero as well as the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Booker T. Curt Hawkins has been competing on NXT for a number of months now and has established himself as a main eventer and has been quite honestly been playing the role of an “Arrogant Heel” to great effect. Tonight is Santino Marella’s first match on NXT in almost a year but the “Fun Babyface” entertained the NXT Universe but ultimately it was Hawkins that got the win.

Match Rating: D-

Non-Title: NXT Champion Justin Gabriel versus Jinder Mahal

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Jinder Mahal defeated Justin Gabriel in 18:13 by pinfall with a DDT. Following our final commercial break of the evening the NXT Commissioner and WWE Hall of Famer the “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes welcomes us back to NXT for our main event of the evening. Jinder Mahal then makes his way to the ring to a chorus of boos from the NXT Universe inside the NXT Arena followed by Justin Gabriel. These two put on a decent match which ultimately sees the 3MB member Jinder Mahal pick up the non-title victory over the NXT Champion.

Match Rating: D+
