WWE 2016: The New Era ReImagined

[KingofOldSchool]

So, this was a game I started in TEW 16 and got a number of months in before 20 came out. I converted the mod I was using and went in the editor and updated the stats to fall in line to where they were at where I left off in the save. I also went in and added the personality attributes to everyone to what I believe they should be set to trying to be as realistic as possible.

 

I am shooting for a simplistic diary. I'm not going to use many pictures, nor am I going to worry about show grades and match ratings UNLESS I feel like it's worth posting. I may also do some interactive stuff where people can help shape the direction of some of my storylines. This will be a more relaxed, casual diary.

 

With that being said, we are currently at Monday Week 4 in November of 2016. Survivor Series is coming up this Sunday, so I am going to use this space to catch everyone up to speed with my save with the important bits.

 

 

Forgotten No More:

 

The main event of Battleground 2016 saw the Shield Triple Threat we saw that year in real life, except this brought us five masked assailants that attacked all three ex-Shield members. The next night on Raw, the assailants unmasked to reveal former WWE talent Damien Sandow, Bad News Barrett, Ryback, Drew McIntyre, and Cody Rhodes. They all had gripes with the company, because they felt like they were primed to be top stars, but the company forgot about them for their new "toys". They dubbed themselves The Forgotten.

 

They claim they will cause havoc on both shows since they haven't signed with anyone until they get what they want. Seth Rollins, mad that they cost him the WWE Title that is now on Smackdown, challenged them to a match at Summerslam. They pick three guys and he will get two other guys to face off in a 6-man tag. If Seth's team wins, The Forgotten will be truly forgotten as they will have to leave the WWE for good. However, if The Forgotten win, they stay and can appear on any show, any time they like. Plus, they are also guaranteed a WWE and Universal title shot any time they want.

 

Seth agrees and ends up pleading with Roman and Ambrose to reunite The Shield for one night only to take them out. Ambrose emphatically says no, but Roman is a little less emphatic. Roman finally relents and agrees, which angers Ambrose. Ambrose says that he and Roman can take them on without backstabber Seth. Dean finally agrees on the condition that if Seth screws them over, he doesn't care what brand he's on, he's going to get Seth.

 

At Summerslam, Seth begs Triple H for help in the main event citing the numbers advantage The Forgotten has. Triple H assures Seth that he will do what needs to be done. However, Seth doesn't come out for the match. After a few moments, there is footage shown of Seth laid out backstage. Ambrose is shown in the ring yelling "BULLSHIT!" and telling Roman "I knew it!" thinking this was all just an act. However, Seth comes out half way through the match and gets on the apron pleading to get tagged in. Ambrose sees Seth with his hand out and doesn't make the tag, instead stays in the match despite being there for a while. Seth ends up tagging himself in and handles himself well when the ref gets knocked out.

 

At this point, Bad News Barrett and Damien Sandow get involved to make it 5 on 3. This brings out Triple H with his sledgehammer. He gets in the ring and squares off with The Forgotten when Triple H turns around and nails Seth with the Sledgehammer, then nails him with the Pedigree. Triple H walks off as Cody covers Seth to win the match. Triple H did not align with The Forgotten, he just betrayed Seth for unknown reasons.

 

The Forgotten have run rough shot over both shows, targeting the top babyfaces on both shows. At Survivor Series, they will face Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, John Cena, and Finn Balor in a "All of Nothing" Survivor Series Elimination match. If The Forgotten survive, they win the WWE and Universal titles, but if they lose, they must disband and sign to a brand. So, no more floating between shows.

 

Burn It Down:

 

After Triple H turned on Seth Rollins, Seth has been on a mission to get Triple H to meet him in a match. However, Triple H has yet to appear face-to-face with Seth. Triple H has appeared on camera via video tape from the PC. He explained that Seth has learned nothing from him and always relied on him to bail Seth out of trouble. What Triple H did was what any parent would do to their kid that has gotten too old to constantly ask their parents for help, he cut Seth off.

 

Seth said if Hunter was going to come to him, he could go to Hunter. So, he sneaks into the PC and jumps Triple H in the middle of a meeting he was having with the students. After this, Triple H challenged Seth to a match at No Mercy. Not against him, but someone of his choosing from NXT. Seth accepted and his opponent turned out to be "The Glorious" Bobby Roode. Seth picked up the victory, but the feud is far from over. Triple H is going to have a challenge for Seth on Raw for Survivor Series.

 

Down Since Day 1:

 

The Usos, fed up with the negative responses from fans and playing third fiddle in the Smackdown tag team scene, turned heel on Enzo and Big Cass. They ditched their face paint and adopted a new "street" attitude. Now, they have started to recruit their cousin, Roman Reigns, to do the same thing. They pointed out how the fans have treated Roman like crap despite everything he has done for them. They also mention how Roman is now just the sidekick to Dean Ambrose when HE should be WWE Champion. Roman hasn't been receptive of the idea yet. However, this story is far from over.

 

A New Day, A New Goal:

 

After moving to Smackdown, The New Day looked to continue their dominance of the tag team division. They were met with a challenge of a different kind...their loyalty to one another. The debuting Prince Nana had an offer to Kofi Kingston, to join him and together Kofi will reach new heights he would never get being anchored down in The New Day. Prince Nana introduced his Embassy featuring Kassius Ohno, Silas Thomas, and Sawyer Fulton. Ultimately, Kofi turned down Nana choosing friendship over individual success.

 

Other notable stories:

 

Tye Dillinger debuted on the 10/10 episode of Monday Night Raw and shocked the World when he defeated Rusev for the United States Title.

 

The Raw tag team division has gotten a shot in the arm thanks to the debuts of reDragon and the current Raw Tag Team Champions, The Motor City Machine Guns.

 

Charlotte Flair has maintained her stranglehold on the Raw Women's Title defeating the likes of Becky Lynch, Natalya, and the returning Nikki Bella. However, she might be facing her toughest challenge yet in the debuting "Emperess of Tomorrow" Asuka.

 

Over on Smackdown, the women have been campaigning for their own Women's Title. Women like Sasha Banks, Paige, Ashley Rayne, Naomi, and Tiffany Terrell have given Shane McMahon and Smackdown GM Edge something to think about.

 

The Miz is still Intercontinental Champion and he is now proclaiming himself to be the Greatest IC Champion of All Time. Does he have a valid claim? Who will knock him off of his pedestal?

 

Brock Lesnar was originally drafted to Smackdown, but Paul Heyman got Shane McMahon and Edge to trade him to Raw. In return, Brock agreed to face a Smackdown superstar at Summerslam. A surprise to all, including Kevin Owens, Brock picked Sami Zayn as his opponent. Zayn gave it his all, but went down in defeat. What is more confusing is that Sami's long time rival and former best friend, Kevin Owens, showed concern for Sami.

 

The company announced the 1st ever Cruiserweight Classic, a 32-man tournament, happening on the WWE Network beginning the Thursday after Survivor Series. It will feature cruiserweights from all over the globe, including Raw Superstar Neville. The winner will become the NEW Cruiserweight Champion.

Monday Night Raw:

Week 4 2016

 

Commentators: Michael Cole and JBL

 

 

Raw opens up with The Forgotten minus Damien Sandow. Cody explains that Sandow suffered a concussion at Bragging Rights last night and unfortunately he will not be able to compete this Sunday at Survivor Series. Because of this, the match has now been changed to a 4-on-4 elimination match and the team of John Cena, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Finn Balor, and Randy Orton must decide which one of them will withdraw from the match.

 

Drew says that the numbers may change, but the result will stay the same, The Forgotten will be Forgotten no more and two of them will become the NEW WWE and Universal Champions.

 

Barrett then says that he's got some bad news for anyone who thinks our egos will get in the way of one of our partners winning a title, because they don't work that way. They are an unit and an individual accomplishment is a team accomplishment.

 

Cody then finishes the promo by bringing up Orton and Cena's history, then the issues Roman and Ambrose have been having. Can THEY trust each other, because WE can trust each other.

 

The first match of the evening saw Seth Rollins defeat Curtis Axel with a Pedigree. After the match, Seth calls out Triple H again to meet at Survivor Series. Triple H appears on the Titan Tron and says he WILL meet Seth at Survivor Series, but it will be in a 5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series match. Triple H will bring four of his NXT stars with him and challenges Seth to find four of his own if he can.

 

At this moment, Seth is jumped by Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder, The Revival. They nail the Shatter Machine on Seth and leave him laying. Triple H announces the first two members of his team, the former NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival!

 

Cesaro defeated Bo Dallas with The Neutralizer in a relatively short match to give Cesaro a good showing.

 

After a commercial break, we had another showcase match where Rusev made Darren Young submit to the Accolade.

 

We go backstage where we see Finn Balor, John Cena, and Randy Orton talking. Finn tells them as the "new guy" he is humbly sacrificing his spot in the Survivor Series match on Sunday. He assures them that he will be watching though in case they try something funny.

 

In a Cruiserweight Classic exhibition, Neville defeated Kalisto in a battle of two popular superstars with the Red Arrow.

 

After the match, we get a backstage interview with Bully Ray. He's asked about the match we just saw and he said he doesn't give a crap about a couple of midgets. He's here to kick some ass, specifically Jack Swagger's ass.

 

In the longest match of the night so far, Bully Ray defeated Jack Swagger with the Bully Bomb.

 

After the commercial, we had the US Title Fatal Fourway match which was won by champion Tye Dillinger after he pinned Bobby Fish with the Tye Breaker. That was Tye's 9th successful defense.

 

Our next match after the commercial break was between Big Show and Erick Rowan, which Show won with a Chokeslam.

 

After the match, Big Show was walking up the ramp when Braun Strowman's music hit and Braun comes out for his match. Braun and Show have a tense staredown, but no blows took place.

 

Braun ends up squashing Sin Cara with a Running Powerslam.

 

Our first women's match of the night took place between Nikki Bella and Summer Rae, which was won by Nikki after a Rack Attack.

 

After the match, though, Nikki was attacked by Tamina Snuka.

 

We have a back-to-back Survivor Series preview in our next two matches featuring the four teams squaring off on Sunday, The Shining Stars, The Vaudevillians, Breezango, and The Motor City Machine Guns.

 

The first match was a tag team mash-up with Epico and Simon Gotch taking on Alex Shelley and Fandango, which was won by Simon Gotch and Epico after Gotch pinned Fandango with his feet on the ropes.

 

The second match saw Tyler Breeze defeating Primo Colon with the Unprettier.

 

An interview with Charlotte Flair was next. She took credit for leading the Raw team to victory in the Women's Raw vs Smackdown match last night at Bragging Rights. That was just a preview for this Sunday at Survivor Series when she's going to do the same thing and show "The Empress of Tomorrow" that she is The Queen today, tomorrow, and forever.

 

This leads to Charlotte and Emma teaming up, and losing, to Asuka and Becky Lynch when Asuka made Emma tap to the Asuka Lock.

 

We go backstage to the trainer's room where Seth Rollins is being looked at after his attack earlier by The Revival. Finn Balor walks up and says that he saw that Seth needs "NXT guys" to be his partner this Sunday. Well, he just so happens to not have a match and Hunter didn't say anything about them having to be CURRENT NXT talent. He offers to be Seth's partner. Seth says he doesn't know if he can trust Finn since he was one of Triple H's big signings some time back, but he has no other choice but to accept Finn's offer.

 

Main event time...Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes pulled off the victory over John Cena and Randy Orton. Orton was pinned after Cena accidentally nailed Orton with the strap of the Universal Title as he was wrestling away from Cody, which led to Drew nailing Orton with the Claymore.

 

Raw went off with Orton shoving Cena away when he tried to check on Orton.
