WWE Friday Night SmackDown! (Live from Macon Coliseum (GA), 6,736 in Attendance)

Pre-Show: Christina Von Eerie versus Layla

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Layla defeated Christina Von Eerie in 18:16 by pinfall with a Lay-Out. Christina Von Eerie and Layla have pretty good chemistry as opponents, and it lifted the match here. Ultimately it is the former WWE Divas Champion Layla who picks up the all-important victory in this one after hitting Christina Von Eerie with her Lay-Out finishing maneuver. The WWE Universe weren’t too bored with this match despite it going on for a long time.

Match Rating: D+

Friday Night SmackDown kicks off with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins making his way to the ring. Seth Rollins receives a chorus of boos from the WWE Universe in attendance as he retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Rollins says that ever since he was the first ever NXT Champion, over a year ago competing inside the NXT Arena in front of the NXT Universe, he knew that he was destined for greatness. Rollins reminds everyone how at his very first Wrestlemania just a few months ago he defeated the Undertaker to end the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania undefeated streak. Rollins therefore says he isn’t surprised that now he is at the top of the industry as the “man” and the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, that he has Superstars coming at him from so many angles. Rollins says that he understands that the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie wants a marquee title match for Money in the Bank which is why Rollins will put his title on the line in a Fatal Four-Way match against Damien Sandow, Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton. However, says Rollins, he thinks it’s a bit unfair that he has to take on the Irish madman Sheamus in tonight’s non-title main event. The Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie then comes to the entrance-way with a microphone in hand and says that Rollins should make the most of his time in the ring with Sheamus tonight as if Sheamus wins the Money in the Bank ladder match and Rollins remains the WWE Champion after Money in the Bank then Rollins may have to face Sheamus again in the not so distant future.

Rating: C-

Non-Title: WWE Women’s Champion Naomi versus Tamina

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Naomi defeated Tamina in 6:58 by pinfall with Nightfalls. Naomi and Tamina have great chemistry as opponents, and it showed in their performances tonight.

Rating: E-

Non-Title: WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Uso’s vs. Team Gorgeous (Breeze & Madsen)

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, The Uso's defeated Team Gorgeous in 7:24 when Jey Uso defeated Tyler Breeze by pinfall with an Alley-Us. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team note how at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Jimmy and Jey will be opponents in the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match and may have to fight one another.

Match Rating: D+

The lights go out in the arena and a countdown clock appears on the screen which ticks down to zero before Chris Jericho makes his return much to the delight of the WWE Universe. However before he can say anything Jericho is joined in the ring by Stardust who looks at Jericho in a strange way which causes Jericho to leave the ring with Stardust looking angry.

Rating: C-

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens versus Mark Henry

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Kevin Owens defeated Mark Henry in 7:54 by pinfall with a Package Piledriver. Mark Henry was really off his game tonight which allowed Kevin Owens to get the win.

Match Rating: D+

Rating: D+

As the WWE Universe cheer Damien Sandow in the ring the lights dim and Bray Wyatt appears on the screen. Bray Wyatt tells Sandow that he’s lucky Randy Orton isn’t here tonight, but Sandow cuts off Bray and says that he doesn’t fear Wyatt or Orton.

Rating: C-

Ted DiBiase versus Goldust

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Goldust defeated Ted DiBiase in 6:43 by pinfall with a Reverse STO. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team note that Goldust looked very vicious tonight.

Match Rating: D

(Arn Anderson would seriously consider either turning Goldust or trying a new gimmick as he has become a stale character and needs a shake-up.)

Following his victory Goldust takes a microphone from the ringside area to address the WWE Universe. Goldust says that Ted DiBiase may be a second generation Superstar but that Goldust is the most dangerous man on Friday Night SmackDown.

Rating: E+

We cut backstage to find Sheamus approaching Mickie James. Sheamus looks Shy and can’t look at Mickie in the eye. Mickie asks Sheamus why he’s so shy as she’s seen him talking to Hailey Hatred in recent weeks. Sheamus says that Mickie is a former Women’s Champion and makes his belly go all funny.

Rating: C

The following contests are confirmed to take place at tonight’s NXT Road to Revolution:

NXT Championship: Curtis Axel © versus NXT Arena Champion Ezekiel Jackson

The main event of tonight’s special NXT Road to Revolution event will see Curtis Axel put the NXT Championship on the line against the reigning NXT Arena Champion, Ezekiel Jackson. A former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Curtis Axel became just the third NXT Champion in history when he defeated the former NXT Champion Justin Gabriel at NXT Falling Apart back in April to win the title. Since then, Curtis Axel has made two successful title defences, with the first of those coming against Ezekiel Jackson at NXT Coronation of Champions back in May and the second occurring with a victory against Bray Wyatt at last month’s NXT Passing the Torch. Ezekiel Jackson defeated the first ever NXT Arena Champion Adam Pearce back in January at NXT Downward Spiral and since then has made four successful title defences including defending the twice against Wesley Blake, once against Kalisto and an impressive victory over Braun Strowman back in February. Although Ezekiel Jackson’s NXT Arena title is not on the line tonight, Ezekiel Jackson will be doing all he can to pick up the all-important victory against Curtis Axel and leave as a dual Champion.

Sugar Dunkerton versus Bobby Roode

Tonight will see the NXT debut of Bobby Roode, an Egomaniac who has competed and won Championships all over the world. Bobby Roode’s debut opponent tonight will be Sugar Dunkerton, a Fun Babyface who made his NXT debut last month at NXT Passing the Torch in a losing effort to A.R. Fox.

Wesley Blake versus Steven Walters

Wesley Blake and Steven Walters will go head to head tonight with both competitors looking to impress the NXT General Manager Jim Cornette. Steven Walters made his NXT debut last month at NXT Passing the Torch with a victory over Ryan Drago.

Aiden English versus JTG

The Gangsta known as JTG will be in action tonight at he will take on the man who sees himself as a bit of a Moviestar, Aiden English. JTG has spent years competing on both Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown and certainly has the experience edge over Aiden English.

Tommaso Ciampa versus Adam Pearce

The Bad Ass known as Tommaso Ciampa will make his NXT debut tonight as he will take on the first ever NXT Arena Champion Adam Pearce. The “Old School Heel” Adam Pearce will be looking to do whatever it takes to spoil the debut of Ciampa tonight.

Scott Dawson versus Dustin Rayz

Scott Dawson is a hard-hitter who feels he has “No Gimmick Needed” and will let his in-ring actions do the speaking for him. Tonight Dawson will take on Dustin Rayz, a Bad Ass who defeated Kalisto in his NXT debut back at NXT Coronation of Champions in May.

Sin Cara versus Sunny Dhinsa

The masked Gangsta, Sin Cara, will take on newcomer Sunny Dhinsa tonight. Making his NXT debut, not much is known about Dhinsa but he is in for a tough test against Sin Cara, who defeated Matt Silva at last month’s NXT Passing the Torch event.

NXT Tag Team Champion Eve Torres versus NXT Tag Team Champion Charlotte

Finally, the NXT Tag Team Champions Eve Torres and Charlotte, collectively known as “Team Brilliance”, will face off against one another tonight. It was recently revealed on Twitter by the NXT General Manager Jim Cornette that the NXT Women’s Championship, of which Eve Torres was the first and only Champion, has been retired.</div>

NXT Road to Revolution (Live from Kingsport Civic Auditorium (TN) 1,000 in Attendance)

Sin Cara versus Sunny Dhinsa

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Sunny Dhinsa went to a time limit draw with Sin Cara in 20:00 after the time limit expired. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette welcomed the live audience to tonight’s show from his position at the commentary table as NXT’s sole announcer. The NXT Universe inside the sold out NXT Arena then give Sin Cara a great reception as the masked competitor makes his way to the ring. Jim Cornette notes on commentary that Sin Cara is a Gangsta and has gone through trials and tribulations in his past before making it to the WWE and NXT. Sin Cara’s opponent, Sunny Dhinsa, then makes his way to the ring. Making his debut tonight, there is not much to be said or noted about Sunny Dhinsa although Jim Cornette notes that he is a very big individual and before being signed to NXT was training to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics. These two go back and forth in a highly competitive match which ends after twenty minutes when the time limit expires with neither competitor being able to pick up the all-important victory.

Match Rating: D-

Scott Dawson versus Dustin Rayz

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Dustin Rayz defeated Scott Dawson in 12:40 by submission with an Inverted Boston Crab. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette introduces the participants for the next match and the “Bad Ass” Dustin Rayz makes his way to the ring to a mixed reception from the NXT Universe in attendance inside the sold out NXT Arena. Scott Dawson then makes his way to the ring to a decent ovation. Jim Cornette notes on commentary that there is “No Gimmick Needed” for Scott Dawson as he is a hard-hitter who lets his talking be done inside the ring. Scott Dawson has experience competing in front of the WWE Universe on Monday Night RAW and although he never won a match on RAW he has competed on WWE’s flagship show against the likes of Kane, CM Punk and Zack Ryder. However, it was Dustin Rayz that picks up the win here after forcing Scott Dawson to submit to a painful looking Inverted Boston Crab.

Match Rating: E-

NXT Tag Team Champion Eve Torres versus NXT Tag Team Champion Charlotte

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Eve Torres defeated Charlotte in 7:24 by pinfall with a DDT. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette notes on commentary that the next match is an interesting one which will see the two NXT Tag Team Champions face off against one another. Charlotte, the woman who acts like the Girl-Next-Door despite being the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer, the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, then makes her way to the ring to a mixed reception from the NXT Universe in attendance inside the sold out NXT Arena. Her opponent, Eve Torres, receives a better reaction as she claps hands with those in attendance. Jim Cornette notes that despite being the first ever and only NXT Women’s Champion in history, Eve Torres still sees herself as an “Every-Man” and loves to meet the fans. After a back and forth contest, Eve Torres gets the win here after hitting her partner with a DDT.

Match Rating: D+

Tommaso Ciampa versus Adam Pearce

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Tommaso Ciampa defeated Adam Pearce in 6:58 by pinfall with a Running Knee. The NXT General Manager Jim Cornette notes on commentary that Ciampa is making his NXT debut tonight, and the NXT Universe in attendance soon got on the side of Ciampa during this match as he was a compete Bad Ass in the ring against the former NXT Arena Champion Adam Pearce. Ciampa finally put Pearce away after a Running Knee.

Match Rating: D-

Aiden English versus JTG

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, JTG defeated Aiden English in 12:42 by pinfall with a Swinging Neckbreaker. The NXT Universe in attendance inside the NXT Arena are behind Aiden English tonight as he acts like a Movie Star throughout the match and regularly stopping to pose for photographs. His opponent, JTG, is somewhat of a Gangsta and the NXT General Manager Jim Cornette notes that JTG has years of experience competing in front of the WWE Universe. Ultimately, this experience pays off as JTG gets the win.

Match Rating: D-

Wesley Blake versus Steven Walters

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Steven Walters defeated Wesley Blake in 8:16 by pinfall with a Flapjack. The NXT Universe inside the NXT Arena aren’t sure what to think of Steven Walters as he has a straight face and didn’t play to the crowd at all. Steven Walters is still able to get the win here.

Match Rating: E-

Sugar Dunkerton versus Bobby Roode

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Bobby Roode defeated Sugar Dunkerton in 8:08 by pinfall with a Glorious DDT. Bobby Roode makes his debut inside the NXT Arena tonight and comes out to entrance-music declaring how “Glorious” he is. Roode acts like an Egomaniac throughout the match before putting Dunkerton away with the Glorious DDT.

Match Rating: C

NXT Championship: Curtis Axel © versus NXT Arena Champion Ezekiel Jackson

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

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus The Miz

Rumours have been running rampant over the past seven days that the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero’s position with the WWE has been taken away and that Vickie Guerrero has in fact left the WWE. This was seemingly confirmed on last week’s edition of 205 Live when the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle told Chavo Guerrero that his position with 205 Live was safe despite Vickie Guerrero’s circumstances. Chavo seemed confused and Hornswoggle said that we should find out more this week on RAW. We do know that tonight’s non-title main event will see the WWE Universal Brock Lesnar in action against the Miz as these two Superstars go head to head for the first time ever. Tonight’s RAW main event should be a treat to the WWE Universe and the Miz has a huge opportunity to gain an all-important victory over the WWE Universal Champion.

WWE RAW Tag Team Championships: Resurrection (Hardy & Gallows) © vs. Batista and Mason Ryan

Last week on Monday Night RAW following weeks of speculation Luke Gallows finally revealed his tag team partner to be Matt Hardy. The WWE Universe witnessed the team of Hardy and Gallows, collectively known as Resurrection, defeat Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston to become the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions. Tonight on RAW Resurrection will put the titles on the line for the very first time against the team of Batista and Mason Ryan.

Non-Title: WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose versus Evan Bourne

The WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose will be in action tonight on Monday Night RAW as he will take on Evan Bourne just a few weeks before Ambrose will compete in the RAW Money in the Bank ladder match. Tonight’s match with Bourne will be a non-title affair.

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate versus J Bronson

It was three weeks ago on Monday Night RAW that Tyler Bate defeated Danny Burch to become the first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion and last week Danny Burch challenged Bate to a rematch for the UK title at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View. Before Bate faces Burch at Money in the Bank he must first take on J Bronson in non-title action tonight.

Fatsuhiko Nakajima versus Danny Burch

Speaking of Danny Burch, the Englishman will be in action tonight on Monday Night RAW as he will take on the Japanese Superstar known as Fatsuhiko Nakajima. Burch will be looking to build momentum before he challenges Tyler Bate for the UK title at Money in the Bank.

WWE Divas Champion Bayley, Alexa Bliss & Sasha Banks versus Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie & Kharma

Finally, Divas action tonight on Monday Night RAW will see a huge six-Diva tag team match as the WWE Divas Champion Bayley will team up with Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks to take on the team of Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie and Kharma. We know that later this month at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Bayley will put her Divas Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Raquel Diaz and the former Champion Sasha Banks. With Vickie Guerrero possibly no longer being the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor, will her daughter Raquel Diaz be able to focus tonight?</div>

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus The Miz

WWE RAW Tag Team Championships: Resurrection (Hardy & Gallows) © vs. Batista and Mason Ryan

Non-Title: WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose versus Evan Bourne

Pre-Show: Ayako Hamada versus Sexy Star

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Ayako Hamada defeated Sexy Star in 18:13 by pinfall with a Hamada Driver. Ayako Hamada and Sexy Star fortunately have pretty good chemistry as opponents, and it lifted the match. The WWE Universe aren’t particularly interested by either of these Divas generally despite both competing in matches on Monday Night RAW over the past year, but the chemistry between the two meant that those in attendance didn’t mind the match going so long. Ultimately Ayako Hamada picks up the all-important victory here.

Match Rating: E+

Pre-Show: Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston versus Jack Swagger and Tensai

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Big E & Kofi defeated Swagger & Tensai in 17:57 when Big E Langston defeated Tensai by pinfall with a Big Ending. Tensai was visibly tiring towards the end of this match which led to Big E and Kofi focusing their offence on Tensai and trying to stop Tensai from getting the tag to Jack Swagger. Finally Big E put Tensai away after hitting the Big Ending.

Match Rating: C+

Pre-Show: Rob Van Dam versus Leo Kruger

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Rob Van Dam defeated Leo Kruger in 18:29 by pinfall with a Van Daminator. Unfortunately this match was too long given who was involved.

Match Rating: D

Monday Night RAW kicks off with the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar making his way to the ring. Lesnar is once again without his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn and Brock receives a great reception from the WWE Universe in attendance as he retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Lesnar says that he left Friday Night SmackDown after being unwilling to work for the SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie, and that brought him back to RAW where he is now the reigning WWE Universal Champion. Brock says that he has heard the rumours all week long that the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero has been removed from her position and has left the WWE and demands to know from the WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H who the new RAW General Manager will be by the end of the evening. As for his non-title main event with the Miz tonight, Brock continues, he is excited about going one on one with the loud-mouth Miz for the very first time and shutting him up for good. Alberto Del Rio then interrupts Brock Lesnar and joins him in the ring. Del Rio takes a microphone of his own and says that Brock shouldn’t under-estimate the Miz as he is a former United States Champion. Del Rio then says that Brock should also be worried about Del Rio after he wins the RAW Money in the Bank ladder match in a few weeks. Roman Reigns and William Regal then come to the entrance-way and Regal says that Brock should be the most worried about Reigns taking the Universal Championship at Money in the Bank.

Rating: C

WWE Divas Champion Bayley, Alexa Bliss & Sasha Banks versus Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie & Kharma

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Bayley, Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks defeated Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie and Kharma in 6:18 when Alexa Bliss defeated Kharma by pinfall. WWE Legend Road Dogg once again accompanied his client Alexa Bliss to ringside for this six-Diva tag team match, much to the delight of the WWE Universe in attendance. At Money in the Bank Bayley will put her Divas title on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Sasha Banks and Raquel Diaz but Alexa Bliss was the star of this match, with Road Dogg cheering her on throughout the match. Alexa pins Kharma to get the win for her team.

Match Rating: E

Following the conclusion of the match the participants make their way to the back except for Alexa Bliss who celebrates with her manager Road Dogg in the ring. Audrey Marie then returns to the entrance-way and she is joined by Rain, who says that while she will win the Women’s Championship from Naomi at Money in the Bank she is here to support her best friend Audrey Marie tonight. Audrey Marie then challenges Bliss to a match at Money in the Bank, which Alexa accepts.

Rating: E-

WWE RAW Tag Team Championships: Resurrection (Hardy & Gallows) © vs. Batista & Mason Ryan

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Resurrection defeated Batista & Mason Ryan in 11:10 when Matt Hardy defeated Mason Ryan by pinfall with a Twist of Fate. Resurrection make defence number 1 of their WWE RAW Tag Team titles. Angel Williams accompanies her now boyfriend Batista to ringside for this WWE RAW Tag Team Championship match but it’s Resurrection who retain their titles here.

Match Rating: C

Following his victory Dean Ambrose takes a microphone from ringside to address the WWE Universe. Ambrose says that he will win the RAW Money in the Bank ladder match and demands to know who the final participant will be to join Ambrose, Kane, Regal, Del Rio and the Miz.

Rating: C-

Richie Steamboat comes to the ring to address the WWE Universe but before he can say anything Kane walks to the ring with a ladder in hand. Just like last week when he victimized Mason Ryan backstage, Kane assaults Steamboat with the ladder leaving him motionless in the ring.

Rating: E+

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate versus J Bronson

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Tyler Bate defeated J Bronson in 6:10 by submission. A pretty vocal crowd didn’t seem particularly thrilled with seeing Tyler Bate wrestle. It will take the WWE Universe some time to get used to the UK Champion.

Match Rating: E

Following a commercial break Alex Riley comes to the ring and tells the WWE Universe that although he’s all for change, the introduction of the UK title means that Superstars like Riley are getting less opportunities. Riley says that he will make an opportunity for himself and challenges anybody to a match at Money in the Bank. A man runs out of the crowd and approaches Riley from behind before throwing him out of the ring. The man picks up the microphone and says that his name is Pete Dunne, and he is a Parking Inspector from the UK. Dunne says that Riley just got a ticket and accepts the invitation for a match at Money in the Bank.

Rating: F+

Fatsuhiko Nakajima versus Danny Burch

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Danny Burch defeated Fatsuhiko Nakajima in 6:16 by pinfall with a London Bridge. The Godfather accompanied Nakajima to the ring much to the delight of some sections of the WWE Universe.

Match Rating: E+

The Chief Operating Officer of the WWE, Triple H, comes to the ring and calls out the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero and her assistant Brad Maddox. Vickie says that she is leaving the WWE but wants to go out on her own terms and with Triple H’s blessing, appoints Brad Maddox as the new Monday Night RAW General Manager.

Rating: D+

We see Brock Lesnar backstage and the WWE Universal Champion is going over tactics with his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn prior to tonight’s main event. Roman Reigns approaches the pair and says that he will be watching tonight and tells Brock to keep his title warm for him before Reigns takes it at Money in the Bank.

Rating: C+

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus The Miz

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Brock Lesnar defeated The Miz in 16:11 by pinfall with an F-5. Michael Cole and Jerry “The King” Lawler argue over whether or not Reigns will win the WWE Universal Championship from Lesnar at Money in the Bank.

Match Rating: B+

Post-Show: Zack Ryder versus Corey Graves

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Zack Ryder defeated Corey Graves in 13:17 by pinfall. The Monday Night RAW commentary team stay at ringside to watch this one.

Thursday, Week 3, July, 2014

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live:

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey versus Tajiri and Chad Gable

The main event of tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live was confirmed earlier today via a tweet sent out by the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle and will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville team up with his British Ambition tag team partner to take on the team of Tajiri and Chad Gable. Last week’s edition of 205 Live kicked off with Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey being introduced to the WWE Universe by their personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez as Adrian Neville spoke about the announcement from the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle that he will put his Cruiserweight Championship on the line for the very first time at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View later this month against the former multiple-time Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio. Adrian Neville is always Cocky and once again last week proclaimed that he was the King of the Cruiserweights and that he will beat Mysterio at Money in the Bank and also that he would beat Tajiri in last week’s non-title main event. Prior to the main event last week we saw Tajiri backstage when he was approached by Chad Gable to requested to team with Tajiri to take on the British Ambition pairing of Neville and Grey, and earlier today on Twitter Hornswoggle made the match official for tonight. Last week’s 205 Live main event saw Adrian Neville defeat Tajiri and Neville will be looking to pick up the all-important victory again in tag team action tonight as he continues to look to build momentum heading towards his title defence against Rey Mysterio at Money in the Bank.

Rich Swann versus Epico

One half of the former WWE Tag Team Champions Primo and Epico will be in action tonight on 205 Live when Epico will face Rich Swann. In his short time performing in front of the WWE Universe on 205 Live, Rich Swann has become a huge Fan Favourite but will face a tough task tonight in the masked Epico, who some see as a Massive Failure since losing the WWE Tag Team Championships several years ago. Epico’s last televised win came back in February with a win over Rey Mysterio on Friday Night SmackDown. This is a rematch from two weeks ago when Rich Swann defeated Epico in Epico’s 205 Live debut.

TJ Perkins versus Chavo Guerrero

Finally, TJ Perkins and Chavo Guerrero will face off against one another tonight on 205 Live with both Superstars looking to impress the WWE Universe in attendance as well as the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle. Another Fan Favourite, TJ Perkins has impressed many in his short time on 205 Live and last week picked up a win against Noam Dar.

Quick Picks:

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey versus Tajiri and Chad Gable

Rich Swann versus Epico

TJ Perkins versus Chavo Guerrero

WWE 205 Live (Live from Universal Sound Stage 21 (FL), 1,222 in Attendance)

The 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, John “Bradshaw” Layfield and former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman welcome the live television audience to tonight’s edition of 205 Live and announce that in tonight’s main event the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville will team up with his British Ambition tag team partner Oliver Grey to take on the team of Tajiri and Chad Gable. Ricardo Rodriguez then makes his way to the ring to a largely negative chorus of boos and jeers from the WWE Universe in attendance in Florida. Ricardo Rodriguez retrieves a microphone from the ringside area and says that he is proud to announce the arrival of the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and the man carved of granite, Oliver Grey. The British Ambition pairing of Neville and Grey make their way to the ring as they are applauded by their personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez. Once Neville and Grey are in the ring Ricardo Rodriguez hands the microphone to the Cruiserweight Champion Neville who asks for silence as he is about to address the WWE Universe in attendance. Neville says that firstly he would like to say that he was pleased to hear the Vickie Guerrero has been removed from her position as the Monday Night RAW Managing Supervisor as Neville says that Vickie never showed him any respect whilst he was competing on RAW. Neville says that the inept little leprechaun, the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle, has put him and his tag team partner Oliver Grey in tag team action in tonight’s main event against the team of Tajiri and Chad Gable. Adrian Neville says that after beating Tajiri in singles action in last week’s main event he has now beat Tajiri for two weeks in a row and that he will make it a hat-trick of victories tonight. As for Tajiri’s tag team partner Chad Gable, Neville says that he is another peasant who thinks that he can get famous off of being in the ring with a former Cruiserweight Champion in Tajiri whereas in reality Chad Gable should be honoured to be in the ring with the King of the Cruiserweights Neville tonight. Neville then says that he would like to address his opponent at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View in just a few weeks, Rey Mysterio. Neville says that he will beat the masked coward Rey Mysterio at Money in the Bank to make the first successful title defence of his Cruiserweight Champion. Neville also suggests that the reason that Mysterio will not come to Neville’s 205 Live kingdom is because deep down Rey knows that he is not on the “Neville level” and never will be. Neville says that Rey Mysterio is a remnant of the past, just like Tajiri. Neville says that the present and the future of the Cruiserweight division stand in the ring in the glorious shape of British Ambition. Neville, Grey and Ricardo Rodriguez then head to the back as 205 Live heads to its first commercial break of the evening.

Rating: E-

TJ Perkins versus Chavo Guerrero

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, TJ Perkins defeated Chavo Guerrero in 9:40 by pinfall with a Running Single Leg High Knee Strike. Following a commercial break the 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, John “Bradshaw” Layfield and Billy Kidman welcome the television audience back to 205 Live for our first match of the evening. TJ Perkins then makes his way to the ring to a great reception from the WWE Universe in attendance. He is soon followed by Chavo Guerrero and the pair have a good match that ends with TJ Perkins picking up the all-important victory after hitting Chavo with a running knee strike. Both Stanford and Kidman praise the performance of TJ Perkins whilst JBL claims that TJ Perkins may have just got lucky tonight.

Match Rating: D

Following another commercial break we cut backstage to find Chad Gable looking into a camera. Gable says that in tonight’s 205 Live main event not only does he get the chance to team up with a former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri but he also has the opportunity to be in the ring with the reigning WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville. Chad Gable reminds the WWE Universe that after competing for the USA in the Olympics back in 2012 to going to Mexico to study the art-form of Lucha Libre, he has always given 100%. Gable says that tonight he and Tajiri will beat Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey and that everybody, including the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle, will see that Chad Gable is for real, and that he is ready, willing and “Gable”.

Rating: E+

Rich Swann versus Epico

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Rich Swann defeated Epico in 7:42 by pinfall with a Tornado Spin Kick. The small man in a bull costume known as El Torito accompanied Epico to ringside for this match and tried to act as cheerleader throughout the match but it was Rich Swann who again impressed the WWE Universe on the way to picking up the win here after hitting Epico with a devastating kick.

Match Rating: D-

Following Epico’s loss we cut backstage to find Epico’s cousin Primo in the office of the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle and complaining about why he wasn’t allowed to accompany Epico to the ring tonight. Hornswoggle tells Primo that Epico already had El Torito supporting him and that Hornswoggle will not allow more than one cheerleader at ringside. Primo leaves the room angry.

Rating: E

We cut to another backstage area to find Chad Gable and Tajiri going through final preparations before tonight’s 205 Live tag team main event. Gable tells Tajiri that he is so pleased to be able to team with Tajiri tonight to take on the British Ambition pairing of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey.

Rating: E

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey versus Tajiri and Chad Gable

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, British Ambition defeated Tajiri and Chad Gable in 12:30 when Adrian Neville defeated Tajiri by pinfall with a Red Arrow. British Ambition’s personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez accompanied Neville and Grey to ringside for tonight’s 205 Live tag team main event which saw Neville pin Tajiri for the third week in a row to win the match for his team.

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

Non-Title: WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins versus Antonio Cesaro

The main event of tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown will see the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in action as he takes on Antonio Cesaro in a non-title match. This match was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out from the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie and will be the very first time that Rollins and Cesaro will ever have been in the ring with one another in any match. Antonio Cesaro will join Sheamus, the WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens, the WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso as well as Shinsuke Nakamura in the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match in just a few weeks and an all-important victory for Cesaro over Rollins will no doubt build huge momentum heading into what will be his second Money in the Bank ladder match. Seth Rollins also has a huge match coming up at Money in the Bank as he will put the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line in a Fatal Four-Way match against Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Damien Sandow.

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Team Gorgeous (Breeze & Madsen)

The WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso will be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as they will take on the Team Gorgeous pairing of Tyler Breeze and Knuckles Madsen in a non-title match. This is a rematch from last week on SmackDown when Jimmy and Jey beat Team Gorgeous and the WWE Tag Team Champions will be looking for a second win in a row as they head into the Money in the Bank ladder match in a few weeks.

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens versus Marcus Owens

The WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens will take on his name-sake, Marcus Owens, in non-title action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown. Although sharing the same last name, these two Superstars are not related in any way.

Damien Sandow versus Byron Saxton

In just a few weeks, Damien Sandow will join Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton in challenging Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a Fatal Four-Way match at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View. Before that, Sandow will take on Byron Saxton one on one tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.

John Cena versus Tye Dillinger

John Cena will be in action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as he will take on Tye Dillinger for the very first time. Dillinger is an Old School Heel and the WWE Universe will likely be fully behind Cena tonight.

Non-Title: WWE Women’s Champion Naomi versus Aksana

Finally, the WWE Women’s Champion Naomi will be in non-title action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as she will take on the Lithuanian native, Aksana. We know that Naomi will defend her title against Rain at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View.

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins versus Antonio Cesaro

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Team Gorgeous (Breeze & Madsen)

WWE Friday Night SmackDown! (Live from American Sports Center (CA), 3,500 in Attendance)

Pre-Show: Kelly Kelly versus Maxine

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Kelly Kelly defeated Maxine in 18:15 by pinfall with a K2. Maxine was visibly tiring towards the end of this match against the former WWE Divas Champion Kelly Kelly, with Kelly being more in-shape than Maxine. It was perhaps Maxine being so tired that led to Kelly picking up the all-important victory here in this match that really went the distance.

Match Rating: E

Pre-Show: R-Truth and Christian versus The New Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton)

In a match that had some good action and average heat, The New Wyatt Family defeated Truth & Christian in 17:38 when Randy Orton defeated Christian by pinfall with an RKO. Both Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt will join Damien Sandow in challenging Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a Fatal Four-Way match at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View in a few weeks and the New Wyatt Family of Orton and Wyatt looked on great form in this match which ended after Orton hit Christian with an RKO.

Match Rating: C+

Pre-Show: Mark Henry versus Percy Watson

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Mark Henry defeated Percy Watson in 17:39 by pinfall with a World's Strongest Slam. Mark Henry was visibly tiring towards the end of this match but was still able to get the win here.

Match Rating: D+

Friday Night SmackDown kicks off with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins making his way to the ring. Rollins receives a chorus of boos and jeers from the WWE Universe in attendance as he gets in the ring and retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Rollins says that in just a few weeks he has to put his WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Damien Sandow in a Fatal Four-Way match. As if that isn’t bad enough, Rollins notes how the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie has once again put Rollins in tonight’s non-title main event against a man who he has never faced, Antonio Cesaro. Rollins says that in the past few weeks he has already had to face John Cena as well as the Irish madman Sheamus and whilst his Money in the Bank challengers are given time to prepare for the Fatal Four-Way match, Rollins is forced to once again compete in tonight’s main event. Rollins says that this is unfair and that as the man who ended the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania and as the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, he should be shown a bit more respect. The Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie then comes to the entrance-way with a microphone in hand and reminds Rollins that he was able to defeat both John Cena and Sheamus and that she has full confidence in him for tonight.

Rating: D+

Non-Title: WWE Women’s Champion Naomi versus Aksana

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Naomi defeated Aksana in 5:56 by pinfall with Nightfalls. A hot crowd was against Aksana, chanting for her not to come back. It would appear that the WWE Universe have no interest in seeing Aksana compete.

Match Rating: E

Following her victory the WWE Women’s Champion Naomi celebrates in front of the WWE Universe before she is once again attacked by Rain, who runs to the ring and hits Naomi with an elbow to the back of her head from behind. The Number One Contender Rain then stands over the fallen Women’s Champion.

Rating: F+

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Team Gorgeous (Breeze & Madsen)

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, The Uso's defeated Team Gorgeous in 7:03 when Jimmy Uso defeated Tyler Breeze by pinfall with an Alley-Us. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team of Josh Mathews, Joey Styles and Matt Striker note that Jimmy and Jey will be opponents in the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match in just a few weeks and it may come down to every man for himself.

Match Rating: D

A hype video airs promoting the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match in a few weeks at the Money in the Bank ladder match which will see the WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso, Antonio Cesaro, Sheamus, the United States Champion Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan compete for the contract.

Rating: B-

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens versus Marcus Owens

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Kevin Owens defeated Marcus Owens in 5:49 by pinfall with a Package Piledriver. Kevin Owens seemed off his game tonight but was still able to get the quick victory.

Match Rating: D+

We cut backstage to find Arn Anderson in conversation with Cameron, trying to give her advice about how to improve her in-ring skills. Sheamus then approaches the pair and says that Cameron should also watch Sheamus win the Money in the Bank ladder match in nine nights.

Rating: D

Goldust comes to the ring and tells the WWE Universe that with Kevin Owens competing in the Money in the Bank ladder match, there is no Number One Contender to the US Championship. Chris Jericho then joins Goldust in the ring and says that he has already spoken to Eva Marie and that at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Jericho will face Goldust and his other weird brother Stardust in a Triple Threat match with the winner becoming the new Number One Contender to the US title. Goldust then tries to attack Jericho who throws Goldust out of the ring before heading to the back with a smile on his face.

Rating: D

John Cena versus Tye Dillinger

Match Rating: C

Following his victory John Cena celebrates in front of the WWE Universe before Jinder Mahal makes his way to the ring. Mahal says that now he is here on Friday Night SmackDown he wants to build a path to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and that path will go through Cena. John Cena replies that if Mahal wants a match then he has one, at Money in the Bank. Randy Orton then comes to the entrance-way and says that Cena and Mahal can do battle if they want but that Mahal’s path to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will end with Randy Orton after he beats Damien Sandow, Seth Rollins and his own brother Bray Wyatt to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank.

Rating: C-

Damien Sandow versus Byron Saxton

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Damien Sandow defeated Byron Saxton in 5:41 by pinfall with a Terminus. Percy Watson accompanied his tag team partner Saxton to the ring.

Following his victory Damien Sandow celebrates with the WWE Universe until the lights go out and Bray Wyatt appears at the entrance-way with a microphone in hand. Wyatt says that Sandow will face his deepest fears in the Fatal Four-Way match or the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank. Sandow once again tells Wyatt that he does not fear him.

Rating: C-

We cut backstage to find Antonio Cesaro and his mentor Robbie Brookside going through final tactics before tonight’s main event when Kevin Owens hits Cesaro from behind with a ladder before leaving the scene with Brookside concerned about Cesaro who has to compete next.

Rating: C

Non-Title: WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins versus Antonio Cesaro

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Seth Rollins defeated Antonio Cesaro in 17:35 by pinfall with a Phoenix Splash. Robbie Brookside accompanied Cesaro to the ring and tried to offer vocal support throughout the match but Cesaro ended up losing.

Match Rating: B

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

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Danny Burch

The main event of tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out by the new Monday Night RAW General Manager Brad Maddox and will see the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar take on Danny Burch in a non-title match. Tonight will be the very first time that Lesnar and Burch will have gone one on one and Danny Burch perhaps faces the toughest test of his career tonight in the “Beast” Brock Lesnar. An all-important victory for Danny Burch tonight over the Universal Champion would build huge momentum heading into this Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View when Danny Burch will challenge Tyler Bate for the WWE United Kingdom Championship. Brock Lesnar will also put his Universal Championship on the line this Sunday against Roman Reigns.

WWE Intercontinental Title: Dean Ambrose © vs. Kane vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Miz vs. William Regal

The WWE Intercontinental Championship will be on the line tonight on Monday Night RAW as Dean Ambrose will put his title on the line in a Fatal Five-Way match against Kane, Alberto Del Rio, the Miz and William Regal. This Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View these five Superstars will be joined by Shinsuke Nakamura in the RAW Money in the Bank ladder match but tonight will be battling it out over the prestigious Intercontinental Championship. Ambrose won the title for the first time last week on RAW by beating the former Champion the Miz in a Triple Threat match that also involved Alberto Del Rio.

Non-Title: WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Resurrection versus Batista and Mason Ryan

The WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows and Matt Hardy, known to the WWE Universe as Resurrection, will be in non-title action tonight on Monday Night RAW as they will once again take on the team of Batista and Mason Ryan. Two weeks ago on RAW Resurrection debuted by beating Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston to become the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions and last week on RAW Resurrection beat Batista and Mason Ryan to retain their titles.

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate versus Derrick Bateman

This Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Tyler Bate will put the WWE United Kingdom Championship on the line against Danny Burch but before that Bate will take on Derrick Bateman in non-title action tonight on Monday Night RAW.

Richie Steamboat versus Pete Dunne

Last week on Monday Night RAW Alex Riley made an open challenge for a match at Money in the Bank, which was answered by Pete Dunne. Tonight on Monday Night RAW we will see Pete Dunne in action for the very first time as he will take on Richie Steamboat.

WWE Divas Champion Bayley, Sasha Banks & Alexa Bliss versus Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie & Kharma

Finally, a six-Diva tag team match tonight on Monday Night RAW will see the WWE Divas Champion Bayley once again team up with the team of Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss to face the trio of Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie and Kharma. This Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Bayley will put the Divas Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match against both Raquel Diaz and Sasha Banks whilst Alexa Bliss will face Audrey Marie in singles competition this Sunday. Tonight will be the first time the WWE Universe will witness Raquel Diaz in action since Brad Maddox was made the new General Manager of RAW, ending the tenure of Raquel’s mother Vickie Guerrero.</div>

Pre-Show: Emma versus Sexy Star

In an absolutely wretched bout that was devoid of action or heat, Emma defeated Sexy Star in 17:32 by pinfall with a Roaring Elbow. Emma was exhausted by the end of this pre-show match that went the distance. However, despite being so tired, the Australian Diva Emma was still able to pick up the all-important victory here after hitting Sexy Star with a huge Roaring Elbow strike.

Match Rating: F+

(Mike Rotunda thinks that Emma 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: Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston versus Jack Swagger and Tensai

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Big E & Kofi defeated Swagger & Tensai in 18:01 when Big E Langston defeated Jack Swagger by pinfall with a Big Ending. Tensai was visibly tiring towards the end of this match which led to Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston focusing their office on Tensai for the majority of the match until Tensai was able to finally get the tag to Jack Swagger only for Swagger to fall victim to the Big Ending.

Match Rating: C+

Pre-Show: Rob Van Dam versus Matt Morgan

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Matt Morgan defeated Rob Van Dam in 18:24 by pinfall with a Carbon Footprint. The Monday Night RAW commentary team of Michael Cole, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler took their positions at ringside prior to this match.

Match Rating: C-

Tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW kicks off with the WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar making his way to the ring. Lesnar is without his in-ring mentor Billy Gunn tonight and receives a great reception from the WWE Universe in attendance as the “Beast” Lesnar takes a microphone from the ringside area. Brock Lesnar says that just under a month ago he came to Monday Night RAW just a day after losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and beat Kevin Owens to become the new WWE Universal Champion. Since then Kevin Owens has ran off with his tail behind his legs to Friday Night SmackDown and is now enjoying a reign as the WWE United States Champion. Brock Lesnar says that a former member of the Shield along with Roman Reigns and William Regal, Seth Rollins, is also holding the WWE Championship on SmackDown. Lesnar continues by saying after he defeats Roman Reigns this Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View to retain the Universal title maybe Reigns can also flee to SmackDown and look for some success there. As for his opponent in tonight’s non-title main event, Danny Burch, Lesnar says that the new RAW General Manager Brad Maddox has given Burch a death sentence tonight. Alberto Del Rio then joins Lesnar in the ring and says that after he wins the Money in the Bank ladder match this Sunday, Brock Lesnar should have eyes in the back of his head. Roman Reigns and William Regal then come to the entrance-way to stare down Lesnar and Del Rio as RAW heads to a commercial break.

Rating: C

WWE Divas Champion Bayley, Sasha Banks & Alexa Bliss versus Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie & Kharma

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Bayley, Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss defeated Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie and Kharma in 5:44 when Alexa Bliss defeated Kharma by submission. The WWE Divas Champion Bayley teamed up with Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss to take on Raquel Diaz, Audrey Marie and Kharma in this six-Diva tag team match and it would appear that Bayley could use something to freshen her character up, as the WWE Universe appear to be growing tired of her already. Bayley will need the WWE Universe on side this Sunday at Money in the Bank when she will defend her title in a Triple Threat match against both Sasha Banks and Audrey Marie.

Match Rating: E

We cut backstage to find Kaitlyn welcoming Jessie McKay to Monday Night RAW. Kaitlyn says that Jessie McKay seems much friendlier than other Divas such as Rosa Mendes and Sexy Star and says that she feels the pair should get on very well.

Rating: E-

Non-Title: WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Resurrection versus Batista and Mason Ryan

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Resurrection defeated Batista & Mason Ryan in 7:41 when Matt Hardy defeated Mason Ryan by pinfall with a Twist of Fate. Angel Williams accompanied the team of Batista and Mason Ryan to ringside for this tag team match against the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows and Matt Hardy but it was the Champions who got the win here after Matt Hardy pinned Mason Ryan.

Match Rating: D

(Finlay would seriously consider either turning Mason Ryan or trying a new gimmick as he has become a stale character and needs a shake-up.)

We cut backstage to find Big E Langston with Evie and Brie Bella, and the pair seem very interested in his biceps. Big E announces that he and Kofi Kingston will get their rematch with Resurrection for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships this Sunday at Money in the Bank.

Rating: D

WWE Intercontinental Title: Dean Ambrose © vs. Kane vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Miz vs. William Regal

In a match that had some good action and average heat, The Miz defeated Kane, Alberto Del Rio, Dean Ambrose and William Regal in 10:36 when The Miz defeated Alberto Del Rio by pinfall with a Skull Crushing Finale. The Miz wins the WWE Intercontinental title. Alberto Del Rio seemed off his game tonight in this WWE Intercontinental Championship Fatal Five-Way match and didn’t seem to get any offence on any other Superstar throughout the entire match. Ultimately the Miz capitalized on Del Rio’s off day by pinning him to win the title once again.

Match Rating: C

We cut backstage to find Kofi Kingston doing some yoga before he is attacked from behind by one half of the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy, who viciously throws Kingston into the wall before walking away with a crazed look in his eyes.

Rating: D

Non-Title: WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate versus Derrick Bateman

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Tyler Bate defeated Derrick Bateman in 6:23 by submission. A pretty vocal crowd didn’t seem particularly thrilled with seeing Tyler Bate wrestle and the WWE Universe are still not convinced by the UK Champion.

Match Rating: E

Following Tyler Bate’s victory the United Kingdom Champion celebrates in front of the mildly unsupportive WWE Universe before Danny Burch comes to the entrance-way and tells Bate that he will win the UK title this Sunday at Money in the Bank.

Rating: F

Richie Steamboat versus Pete Dunne

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Pete Dunne defeated Richie Steamboat in 6:05 by pinfall. The Monday Night RAW commentary team note that Dunne looked good in his in-ring debut tonight.

Match Rating: E

Following his victory Pete Dunne celebrates in the ring before he is joined by Alex Riley who says he will beat Pete Dunne this Sunday at Money in the Bank. Pete Dunne tells Riley that he will wish he never made an open challenge and that this Sunday will be the end of him.

Rating: F+

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley comes to the ring to provide in-ring introductions for the competitors in tonight’s main event before he is interrupted by Kevin Nash who hits Foley with a Big Boot before standing over the broken down and fallen Foley.

Rating: C+

Non-Title: WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar versus Danny Burch

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Brock Lesnar defeated Danny Burch in 15:02 by submission with a Kimura Lock. The Monday Night RAW commentary team note that Lesnar will now head to his title defence against Roman Reigns this Sunday at Money in the Bank.

Match Rating: C+

Post-Show: CM Punk versus Kalisto

The following contests are confirmed to take place on tonight’s edition of WWE 205 Live:

Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville versus Chad Gable

The main event of tonight’s edition of 205 Live was announced earlier today via a tweet sent out from the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle and will see the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville take on Chad Gable in non-title action. This Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Adrian Neville will look to make his first successful defence of the WWE Cruiserweight Championship when he puts the title on the line against the former eight-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio. In last week’s 205 Live tag team main event the Cocky Adrian Neville teamed up with his British Ambition tag team partner, fellow Brit Oliver Grey, against the team of Tajiri and Chad Gable. With their personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez at ringside, Neville and Grey were able to defeat Tajiri and Gable after Neville pinned Tajiri for the third week in a row. Tonight Chad Gable will be looking to impress the WWE Universe by picking up the all-important victory, albeit in non-title action, against the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville and possibly gain a future Cruiserweight Championship opportunity. After competing for the United States of America two years ago at the Summer Olympics in London, Gable moved to Mexico and began training with the best Lucha Libre competitors in the world and now sees himself as somewhat of a “Classic Tecnico”. Following his loss in tag team action last week, Gable was undefeated on 205 Live and has still never been pinned or submitted and also holds two victories over the former Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero.

TJ Perkins versus Epico

The high-flying TJ Perkins will be in action tonight on 205 Live as he will take on the former WWE Tag Team Champion Epico. The cousins Primo and Epico made their 205 Live debuts three weeks ago as Epico lost to Rich Swann. Epico was in action again last week as the masked Superstar was once again defeated by Rich Swann. Epico was accompanied to the ring last week by the little man dressed in a bull costume known as El Torito, and after the match the WWE Universe witnessed Primo complaining in the office of the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle as to why he wasn’t also allowed to accompany his cousin to the ring, with Hornswoggle telling Primo that he would only allow one cheerleader at ringside at a time.

Tajiri versus Chavo Guerrero

Two former WWE Cruiserweight Champions will go head to head tonight as Tajiri will take on Chavo Guerrero in a rematch from 205 Live’s first ever match and first ever main event. Last month in 205 Live’s debut episode Tajiri took on Chavo Guerrero in the only match of the evening with Chavo coming out on top. These two will face off against one another again tonight.</div>

Quick Picks:

Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville versus Chad Gable

TJ Perkins versus Epico

Tajiri versus Chavo Guerrero

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

WWE 205 Live (Live from Table Mountain Casino (CA), 1,138 in Attendance)

Pre-Show: Rich Swann versus Noam Dar

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Rich Swann defeated Noam Dar in 17:48 by pinfall with a Chicken Fried Driver. Unfortunately this match was far too long given who was involved as although Rich Swann has impressed the WWE Universe in his matches on 205 Live, not much is known at all about Noam Dar. The match went almost twenty minutes and the WWE Universe in attendance had lost interest by the end. Nevertheless, it was Rich Swann who picked up another all-important victory here.

Match Rating: E-

The 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, John “Bradshaw” Layfield and the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman welcome the live television audience to what they refer to as the most exciting hour on television. They announce that in tonight’s non-title main event the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville will be in action as he will take on Chad Gable. Ricardo Rodriguez then makes his way to the ring to a largely negative reaction from the WWE Universe in attendance and receives many boos as he enters the ring and retrieves a microphone from the ringside area. Rodriguez says that as the personal ring announcer for the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville he is proud to introduce Neville and his British Ambition tag team partner, the Englishman chiseled from stone, Oliver Grey. The British Ambition pairing of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey then join Ricardo Rodriguez in the ring and Rodriguez hands Neville the microphone. The Cruiserweight Champion Neville says that in tonight’s non-title main event the 205 Live General Manager has put him in a match with Chad Gable. The Cocky as they come Neville continues by saying that there is no way that Chad Gable is in his league, and he is certainly not on the “Neville Level”. Neville says that he did Chad Gable a favor by allowing him to step in the ring with Neville last week in the tag team match that saw Neville and Grey defeat Chad Gable and Tajiri, but that as Neville once again pinned Tajiri, Chad Gable has not yet had the privilege of being pinned by the King of the Cruiserweights Neville. The Cruiserweight Champion Neville continues by declaring that after he has finished with defeating and humiliating Chad Gable tonight he will move on to the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View this Sunday night where he will defend the WWE Cruiserweight Championship for the very first time since winning it against Rey Mysterio. Neville says that he doesn’t care how much of a legend some people find Rey Mysterio to be, or how many times he won the Cruiserweight Championship in bygone eras. Neville says that Mysterio is a coward, not just for wearing a mask but also for refusing to turn up to 205 Live to face him like a man before their title match this Sunday. Neville, Oliver Grey and Ricardo Rodriguez then head to the back together as 205 Live heads for its first commercial break of the evening.

Rating: E

Tajiri versus Chavo Guerrero

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Chavo Guerrero defeated Tajiri in 8:21 by pinfall with a Gory Bomb. The 205 Live commentary team of Scott Stanford, John “Bradshaw” Layfield and Billy Kidman welcome us back to the show for our opening contest which sees Chavo Guerrero take on Tajiri. JBL says that after losing to Neville for three weeks in a row, Tajiri may never regain his confidence and it might be time to call it a day. Tajiri is also on the losing side of things here as Chavo picks up the win.

Match Rating: D

We cut backstage to find Chad Gable looking into a camera. Gable says that in tonight’s 205 Live main event he sees Gable take on the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville. Gable says that even though tonight’s match is a non-title affair, he knows how important a victory can be. Chad Gable says that last week the WWE Universe saw Gable get the chance to team up with one of his heroes in Tajiri. Gable says that in a lifetime that has seen him represent his country in the Olympics and go to Mexico to learn the art of Lucha Libre, another milestone will be reached tonight and he vows to do all he can to beat Neville in tonight’s main event and show the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle that he is the Cruiserweight star of the present and future.

Rating: E

TJ Perkins versus Epico

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, TJ Perkins defeated Epico in 9:09 by pinfall with a Jumping Neckbreaker. The small man dressed in a bull costume, El Torito, once again accompanied Epico to the ring but it was TJ Perkins that got the win here.

Match Rating: D

We cut backstage to once again find Primo in the office of the 205 Live General Manager Hornswoggle. Primo says that he just had to witness his cousin Epico lose again and was not allowed to support him at ringside. Hornswoggle says that he already explained last week that he will only allow one cheerleader at ringside and that El Torito was out with Epico tonight. Primo says that on Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown this wouldn’t fly, and Hornswoggle tells Primo that he’s not in Kansas anymore as Primo angrily leaves the office.

Rating: E

Non-Title: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Adrian Neville versus Chad Gable

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Adrian Neville defeated Chad Gable in 12:15 by pinfall with a Corkscrew Shooting Star Press. Ricardo Rodriguez introduced his client Neville tonight and stayed at ringside to cheer Neville throughout the match. Chad Gable put on a decent showing here but ultimately it was the WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville who once again was victorious in the 205 Live main event.

This Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Seth Rollins will look to successfully defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the first time since winning it at last month’s Payback Pay-Per-View as Rollins will put the title on the line in a Fatal Four-Way match against Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Damien Sandow. The WWE Universe also learned last week on SmackDown that Chris Jericho will be in action at Money in the Bank as he will face off in a Triple Threat match with both Goldust and Stardust with the winner becoming the new Number One Contender for the WWE United States Championship. Both Rollins and Jericho will be looking to do all they can to pick up the all-important victory tonight heading into their matches this Sunday.

Non-Title: WWE Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Percy Watson and Byron Saxton

Tag team action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown will see the WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso take on the team of Percy Watson and Byron Saxton in a non-title match.

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens versus Yoshi Tatsu

Before he competes in the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match this Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View, the WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens will face Yoshi Tatsu in a non-title match tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.

Christian versus Bray Wyatt

This Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Bray Wyatt will join Randy Orton and Damien Sandow in challenging Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a Fatal Four-Way match but before that Wyatt will take on Christian tonight on Friday Night SmackDown.

Jason Jordan versus Baron Corbin

An in-ring debut will take place tonight on Friday Night SmackDown as the mysterious Baron Corbin will take on Jason Jordan. Not much is known about Corbin other than he likes rock music and is a former Band Member but he has obviously shown promise to be given a contract by the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie.

Non-Title: WWE Women’s Champion Naomi versus Madison Eagles

Finally, women’s division action tonight on Friday Night SmackDown will see Naomi take on Madison Eagles in a non-title match. This Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View Naomi will put her WWE Women’s Championship on the line against Rain.</div>

WWE Friday Night SmackDown! (Live from Sullivan Arena (AK), 5,814 in Attendance)

Pre-Show: Natalya versus Tamina

In an awful match that was completely devoid of heat, Natalya defeated Tamina in 18:17 by pinfall with a German Suplex. Unfortunately Natalya and Tamina don’t seem to click as opponents, and it made for an awkward bout. The WWE Universe didn’t really take to this pre-show women’s division match due to the chemistry issues between those involved. Nevertheless, it was Natalya who was able to pick up the all-important victory here after hitting Tamina with a beautiful bridging German Suplex.

Match Rating: E

Pre-Show: Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro versus The Rhodes Dynasty

In a match that had some good action and average heat, The Bar defeated The Rhodes Dynasty in 18:23 when Sheamus defeated Goldust by pinfall with a Brogue Kick. Robbie Brookside accompanied his client Antonio Cesaro to ringside for this tag team match, and Sheamus also came out with Cesaro and the pair were introduced to the WWE Universe as “The Bar”, suggesting that they may well be a regular tag team in the future despite being opponents this Sunday in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

Match Rating: B-

Pre-Show: Mark Henry versus Heath Slater

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Heath Slater defeated Mark Henry in 17:54 by pinfall with an E Minor. Mark Henry was visibly tiring towards the end of this match which led to Heath Slater getting the upset win.

Match Rating: D-

Tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown kicks off with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins making his way to the ring. Rollins retrieves a microphone from the ringside area as he is greeted by jeers and boos from the WWE Universe in attendance. Rollins says that this Sunday at the Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View he has to defend his WWE Championship in a Fatal Four-Way match against three other Superstars in Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Damien Sandow. As if Rollins didn’t have enough on his plate, he continues, he also has to worry about the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match this Sunday with the winner of that match being able to cash in his contract and get a title opportunity at any place, and any time for the next year. Rollins says that he is carrying this entire company on his shoulders, just like he carried NXT on his shoulders for years as the first ever NXT Champion. Rollins says that just a few months ago he beat the Undertaker at Wrestlemania to end the Undertaker’s legendary undefeated streak, and now he sits at the top of the mountain as the man in this company. Rollins says that since he won the WWE Championship, he has been forced into main event matches by the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie and that continues tonight when he has to face Chris Jericho in tonight’s non-title main event. Eva Marie then comes to the entrance-way and orders Rollins to stop complaining so that we can get on with the show.

Rating: D+

Non-Title: WWE Women’s Champion Naomi versus Madison Eagles

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Naomi defeated Madison Eagles in 5:59 by pinfall with a Nightmare. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team of Josh Mathews, Joey Styles and Matt Striker note that Naomi will defend her title against Rain this Sunday.

Rating: E-

Non-Title: WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Uso’s versus Percy Watson and Byron Saxton

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, The Uso's defeated Watson & Saxton in 8:24 when Jimmy Uso defeated Byron Saxton by pinfall with an Alley-Us. Percy Watson was really off his game tonight which led to the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey focusing their offence on Watson for the majority of the match until Watson was able to tag in Byron Saxton only for Saxton to fall victim to a double team maneuver.

Match Rating: D+

John Cena comes to the ring to a tremendous ovation from the WWE Universe in attendance. Cena says that this Sunday he will beat Jinder Mahal to show that he will not be used by Mahal as a stepping stone to the WWE Championship. Ryback then joins Cena in the ring and says that the Big Guy is back and that he has also been given a match this Sunday, against newcomer Baron Corbin.

Rating: D-

Non-Title: WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens versus Yoshi Tatsu

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Kevin Owens defeated Yoshi Tatsu in 6:42 by pinfall with a Package Piledriver. The Friday Night SmackDown commentary team note that Owens will compete in the SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match this Sunday.

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Seth Rollins defeated Chris Jericho in 17:42 by pinfall with a God's Last Gift. Jericho gave it his all in this match but the assault earlier by Goldust and Stardust caught up to Y2J by the end and Rollins was able to get the win.

The following contests are confirmed to take place at tonight’s WWE Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View:

WWE Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar © versus Roman Reigns

The main event of tonight’s Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View will see Brock Lesnar put the WWE Universal Championship on the line against Roman Reigns. Last month at the Payback Pay-Per-View, Kevin Owens defeated Xavier Woods to become the first ever WWE Universal Champion. On the same night Brock Lesnar lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to Seth Rollins in a Fatal Four-Way match also involving John Cena and Dean Ambrose, with Rollins scoring the decisive victory with Lesnar outside of the ring. The next night on Monday Night RAW an enraged Brock Lesnar would beat Kevin Owens to win the Universal title and tonight Lesnar will put the title on the line for the very first time against Roman Reigns. These two have faced off in the past with Reigns as of yet unable to pick up an all-important victory over Lesnar.

WWE World Heavyweight Title: Seth Rollins © vs. Damien Sandow vs. Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton

Seth Rollins became the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in his career last month at the Payback Pay-Per-View and tonight he will put the title on the line for the first time as he will take on Damien Sandow, Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton in a Fatal Four-Way match. Sandow is a former one-time WWE Tag Team Champion but has never held singles gold in his WWE career. Bray Wyatt has never held a Championship in the WWE and has perhaps an alliance in the form of Randy Orton in this match who have been teaming together recently under the alias of the New Wyatt Family.

RAW MITB: IC Champ Miz vs. Del Rio vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Kane vs. Regal vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

Six of the top Superstars on Monday Night RAW will compete in the Money in the Bank ladder match tonight when the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion the Miz, Dean Ambrose, Kane, William Regal and Shinsuke Nakamura face off with the winner securing a briefcase with a contract inside that will grant them a shot at the WWE Universal Championship at any time and any place of their choosing for the next twelve months. It would appear that the Miz currently has the momentum on his side heading into this match as the WWE Universe witnessed the Miz crowned as the new WWE Intercontinental Champion this past week on Monday Night RAW when he defeated Del Rio, Ambrose, Kane and Regal in a Fatal Five-Way match to become the Intercontinental Champion once again.

SD MITB: US Champ Owens vs. Tag Champ Jey vs. Tag Champ Jimmy vs. Sheamus vs. Cesaro vs. Bryan

The WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens, the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso, the Celtic Irishman Sheamus, Antonio Cesaro and Daniel Bryan will tonight compete in the Friday Night SmackDown Money in the Bank ladder match with the winner receiving a briefcase with a contract inside that guarantees them a shot at the WWE Word Heavyweight Championship at a time and place of their choosing that can be used in the next twelve months. The WWE Universe has witnessed Kevin Owens attacking his fellow opponents recently on SmackDown including Owens attacking Antoni Cesaro with a ladder two weeks ago.

WWE RAW Tag Team Championships: Resurrection © versus Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston

After promising that he had a tag team partner up his sleeve for weeks, Luke Gallows finally revealed Matt Hardy as his partner three weeks ago on Monday Night RAW when Gallows and Hardy, known to the WWE Universe as Resurrection, defeated Big E Langston and Kofi Kingston to become the new WWE RAW Tag Team Champions. Tonight Big E and Kofi will receive their contractually obligated title rematch.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship: Adrian Neville © versus Rey Mysterio

Adrian Neville made history last month on 205 Live when he defeated Rich Swann to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion and the first ever Cruiserweight Champion of the new era. Tonight Neville looks to make his first successful title defence as he faces the challenge of the former multiple-time Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Mysterio.

WWE United Kingdom Championship: Tyler Bate © versus Danny Burch

It was last month on Monday Night RAW when Tyler Bate defeated Danny Burch to become the first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion. Two weeks later Danny Burch told Tyler Bate that he wanted a rematch and it was granted, and Tyler Bate will put the title on the line for the first time tonight.

United States Championship No. 1 Contenders Match: Chris Jericho versus Goldust versus Stardust

Chris Jericho, Goldust and Stardust will compete in a Triple Threat match tonight with the winner becoming the new Number One Contender to the WWE United States Championship held by Kevin Owens. Goldust is the only Superstar in this match to have held the US title before, all the way back in 1993 when it was the property of WCW.

John Cena versus Jinder Mahal

Two weeks ago on Friday Night SmackDown as John Cena celebrated a victory in front of the WWE Universe, Jinder Mahal came out and said that he would use Cena as a stepping stone to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. These two Superstars will go one on one for the very first time tonight.

Ryback versus Baron Corbin

Last week on Friday Night SmackDown saw the debut of Baron Corbin as he defeated Jason Jordan. Ryback also returned earlier in the evening and said that he would face newcomer Corbin tonight. Both of these Superstars will be doing all they can to pick up the win tonight to impress the Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Eva Marie.

Alex Riley versus Pete Dunne

Alex Riley was in the ring two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW saying that the introduction of the UK Championship meant less time to showcase Riley and issued an open challenge, of which was accepted by the debuting Pete Dunne. Riley will face Dunne for the very first time tonight.

WWE Divas Championship: Bayley © versus Sasha Banks versus Raquel Diaz

Bayley will put her WWE Divas Championship on the line tonight in a Triple Threat match against the former Divas Champion Sasha Banks as well as Raquel Diaz. Bayley became Divas Champion for the very first time last month on RAW when she won a Triple Threat match with Sasha and Diaz, and the rematch will finally take place tonight.

WWE Women’s Championship: Naomi © versus Rain

Last month at the Payback Pay-Per-View Naomi made history when she defeated Rain, Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss in a Fatal Four-Way match to become the new WWE Women’s Champion, the first Women’s Champion since 2010. Since then Naomi has suffered constant attacks at the hands of Rain on Friday Night SmackDown and tonight Naomi will take on Rain in her first title defence.

Alexa Bliss versus Audrey Marie

Finally, women’s division singles action will see Alexa Bliss take on Audrey Marie tonight. This match was made two weeks ago on Monday Night RAW when Audrey Marie told Bliss she’d beat her at Money in the Bank after Alexa Bliss was victorious over Audrey Marie in six-Diva tag team action.</div>
