WWE: Era of '08 (Switchy Edition)

[Switchy]

I guess this is kinda a bump but I just hope I get let off because of my absense so anyway...

1) Yes, the BTB is back and hopefully this will be my first success.
2) Next show will be posted in the next 7 days and I posted the preview before I left so I guess there is no need to post a new one.

Thanks, also congrats to CMS and XBA on gettin' modded.

 

[JHar888]

^ Great news Switchy, glad you're back and so is your BTB. I'll be checking out your next show.

 

[JohnBush2009]

Great BTB So Far. It Seemed to be like a " Super Card ". Which i like. My Personal favorite bout was the Burke vs Punk vs Benjarmin vs Hardy Unification Match. Awesome overall match hopefully some feuds come from this match. Check out my BTB International Championship Wrestling. Please leave a comment and give your honest opinion.

Monday Night Raw​

Cheaters Never Prosper
​

Raw comes on air to a pyro display with the crowd cheering wildly as the commentators open the show

JR: Hello and welcome to Raw, boy do we have a show tonight.
JBL: We sure do JR, we have Jeff Hardy going up against The Undertaker in tonight’s Main Event in a ladder match which is a rematch of their bout a few years ago and that’s gonna be off the chain.
Jerry Lawler: I’m 100% excited about that but you can’t let that overshadow the rest of the show. We have Shawn Michaels Vs MVP and CM Punk will get to decide who he will face at Backlash out of his three opponents last week.
JR: But right now we’re gonna jump straight into the action with WWE Light-Heavyweight Champion Jay Lethal going up against Charlie Haas.

"Pomp and Circumstance (Remixed)" hits as Jay Lethal makes his way down to the ring, holding his championship with pride to a great reaction from the crowd

Justin Roberts: Making his way to the ring first, he is the Light-Heavyweight Champion, Black Machismo… Jay Lethal!

"Greatest" hits as Charlie Haas makes his way down to the ring to a slight amount of boos from the crowd who are even bothering to cheer for him

Justin Roberts: And his opponent in this singles match… Charlie Haas!

Jay Lethal Vs Charlie Haas
Non Title Match​

Ding… Ding… Ding!
​

Charlie Haas takes a no messing about approach to the match walking straight into the middle of the ring and Lethal walks into the middle of the ring and the two have a staredown with Haas being quite a bit taller than Lethal and he tries to make himself look intimidating by shoving Lethal, but that only spurs Lethal on as he shoves Haas back with full force and Haas nearly falls to the floor but manages to keep himself up and he looks surprised at Lethal’s strength considering the size difference but Haas suddenly runs towards Lethal and goes for a clothesline but Lethal ducks and as Haas turns around Lethal starts to hit him with a few jabs and then runs to the ropes and rebounds off them but he runs straight into a strong shoulder barge from Haas and Haas then hits Lethal with an elbow to the stomach and then goes for the pin. 1… Lethal kicks out! Haas pulls Lethal up to his feet and takes him straight back down with a scoop slam and hits another elbow drop and goes for the pin. 1… Lethal kicks out again! Haas then gets up, pulling Lethal up with him and hits him with a snap suplex and goes for another elbow drop but this time Lethal rolls out the way and Haas collides elbow with mat. Lethal then gets up to his feet and Haas gets up about a second later clutching his elbow and Lethal hits Haas with a couple of punches and then hits him with a headbutt and then hits him with a couple of forearm shots and then hits him with a dropkick to the knee and it lowers Haas to a kneeling base and Lethal then drives a elbow shot to the top of his head and Lethal then backs into the ropes and he runs up behind Haas and hits him with a mini bulldog and he then goes for a quick pinfall. 1… Haas kicks out! Lethal gets up to his feet and tries to pull Haas up but Haas hits him with a jawbreaker and then tosses Lethal out the ring through the middle rope and Lethal hits the arena floor with a bang. Haas then gets a slight, sick smile on his face as he leaves the ring after Lethal and pulls him to his feet and drags him over to the crowd barricade and he smashes Lethal’s head into it a few times before rolling him into the ring. Haas then gets into the ring and rolls Lethal over onto his chest and he crosses Lethal’s legs over in an attempt to lock in the Haas of Pain but Lethal manages to quickly pull himself across to the ropes before Haas can properly apply the hold and Haas looks slightly pissed off and as Lethal is in a bent over position pulling himself to his feet, Haas kicks him hard in the chest and then takes Lethal down with a hard lariat!

Jerry Lawler: Wow, I’ve never really seen the true talent of Charlie Haas until now.
JR: Well I think you are forgetting his times during his tag team with Shelton Benjamin.
JBL: Well Haas isn’t like most other light wrestlers. He realises you don’t have to fly around like superman to win a match but if you do the exact opposite and keep things on the mat and that’s where you get results.

Haas goes for the pin after the lariat. 1… 2 Lethal quickly gets his foot on the bottom rope! Haas then pulls Lethal straight up to his feet without taking his time and he then shoves Lethal into the corner and starts to slap him and then gets more aggressive, driving repeated elbows to the side of Lethal’s head and he then drives a few shots to the gut area of Lethal and hits him with a European uppercut to finish things off and once he’s done Lethal looks weakened badly after all the beatings. Haas looks proud of his handy work as he pulls Lethal out of the corner and lifts him up in a fireman’s carry situation and he then swings Lethal’s legs behind him and hits him with a modified version of the TKO and Haas crawls over Lethal like he’s already won the match as he goes for the pin. 1… 2… Lethal manages to get the shoulder up! Haas is in disbelief as he pulls Lethal straight up to his feet and shoves him into the corner again and instead of going for punches, Haas lifts Lethal up onto the top rope this time and Haas then climbs onto the second rope. Haas then stands Lethal up and climbs onto the top rope so they are both on the top and Haas wraps his arms around Lethal to go for a belly-to-belly suplex but Lethal manages to fight him back down to the second rope and he then places both his hands on the shoulder of Haas before jumping up and hitting a headscissors off the top rope with a 180 rotation! The crowd start to chant Lethal’s name as if he were a God and Lethal gets up and starts to get the crowd going even louder while Haas is still down but as he turns around Haas is on his feet and he goes for an STO on Lethal but Lethal doesn’t let him and he shifts his weight onto Haas and manages to counter it into a Lethal combination! Both Lethal and Haas are down on the mat and Lethal seems to have some discomfort in his shoulder as he clutches it and the referee checks on him but Lethal says he can carry on as he bravely gets up to his feet and he walks over to Haas to go for the pin on him but he then looks at his shoulder and he walks past Haas and climbs out of the ring onto the apron and climbs to the top rope from there and he looks down at Haas and then looks at his shoulder with a slight look of fear on his face but he still leaps off the top rope and hits Haas with his signature elbow drop! Lethal looks in serious pain but he uses his good arm to pull himself across the ring over to Haas and hook his leg for the pin. 1… 2… 3!

Winner: Jay Lethal

Lethal doesn’t waste no time in celebrating and grabs a mic straight away

Jay Lethal: Oooooooooooh Yeaaaaaaah! I’m diggin’ this, what a buzz tonight!

The crowd cheer Lethal just for acknowledging them

Jay Lethal: Thank you, thank you. Now some of you know me and some of you are new to me since I came here. Now for those of you who don’t know me I’ve been in many other companies before WWE and I’ve won my fair share of titles in those companies but winning the Light-Heavyweight Championship last week and writing my name in WWE history beat all of those title wins and was the most exhilarating experience of my entire life. Getting into the WWE is every wrestlers dream when they step into the business, you are in the biggest spotlight on the biggest stage in front of the biggest audiences and to win a title on my debut made things a million times better. To have you fans behind me means the world to me and I will make sure that I pay you back for all your support and put on some of the best matches of my career. When my contract with my "other promotion" ended they tried to re-negotiate but as soon as WWE contacted me I just couldn’t say no…

Chavo Guerrero comes out of nowhere and takes Lethal down with a massive chair shot and he then beats Lethal down with the chair while he’s on the mat and Chavo then drops the severely bent chair and looks down at Lethal with a sickening grin on his face and he then raises Lethal’s Light-Heavyweight Championship high in the air as it is was his own.

JR: Why can’t Chavo face Jay Lethal like a man instead of making all these constant sneak attacks.
Jerry Lawler: Well whatever the reason he’s attacking Jay Lethal for I think is a lot more than jealousy. Something seems weird to me, it’s like something is drawing him towards the Light Heavyweight Championship and he has some sort of obsession of it.
JBL: Well whether it’s jealousy or obsession that’s drawing Chavo towards Jay lethal and the title he’s not making any mistakes in trying to destroy Jay Lethal is all I’m gonna say.
JR: Stay tuned because after the break we have Lance Cade going up against Paul London and Brian Kendrick in handicap action and much, much more.

The action returns with GM Excell sat at his desk and Randy Orton storms in holding his WWE Championship

Randy Orton: I was told you wanted to see me.

GM Excell: Yeah, I do. It’s about what you did last week and what I’m going to do about it.

Randy Orton: You already made the title match for Backlash a fatal 4 way, what else are you gonna do?

GM Excell: Well I know I made the match a fatal four way but I didn’t do that to punish you, I done that to give Jeff Hardy and John Cena another chance after you screwed them out of their title opportunity last week. Now I have a lot of things written down on different ways to punish you. I could suspend you but I’d rather have you working, so that made me think, seeing as you screwed Jeff Hardy and John Cena out of the championship last week then next week and the week after you will be facing them both in one-on-one matches!

Randy Orton: Do whatever you like because I am the legend killer, the one-man dynasty and we are living in the age of Orton so whatever you do doesn’t make a difference to me because I will beat Jeff Hardy, I will beat John Cena and when we reach Backlash I will beat both of them and The Undertaker and after all of that I will be the new Undisputed Champion. Now how do you like that?

GM Excell: Well to be honest Orton I don’t really care what you do or who you beat because you say quite a lot of things but you don’t do a lot of things. As my Grandma told me when I was a little boy "You can talk the talk, but if you don’t walk the walk you’re gonna run into some tricky situations".

Randy Orton: So you’re implying that I say a lot but don’t do a lot? I don’t just talk the talk but I walk the walk and that’s why I’m the champ around here…

GM Excell: You may be champion now but you might not be walking out of Backlash with the belt over your shoulder. Now go make the most of your night off because your next couple of shows aren’t going to be as pleasant.

Orton opens his mouth to say something but then realises he isn’t going to waste his breath on Excell and storms out

GM Excell: Next time close the door behind you!

JR: Welcome back and it’s now time fore some handicap action with Lance Cade going up against Brian Kendrick and Paul London!
JBL: With Cade improving at the speed he is at the moment he should be able to get past these two even if the numbers advantage is against him.
Jerry Lawler: I wouldn’t be so sure, Paul London and Brian Kendrick have held the WWE Tag Team titles longer than anyone else before the titles were retired.

"Texas Cowboy" hits as Lance Cade makes his way down to the ring debuting his new ring gear replacing his trunks with black trousers with "LC" printed on them and he gets a fair share of heat from the crowd

Justin Roberts: Making his way to the ring first in this handicap match, he is the "Lone Ranger"… Lance Cade!

"HooliganZ" hits as Paul London and Brian Kendrick make their way down to the ring to a decent reaction to the crowd as they slide into the ring enthusiastically to get the crowd going

Justin Roberts: And his opponents in this match, they are the team of Paul London and Brian Kendrick!

Lance Cade Vs Paul London and Brian Kendrick
2 on 1 Handicap Match​

Ding… Ding… Ding!
​

Kendrick decides to start the match against the much larger Cade and he and Cade circle the ring once before meeting up in the middle of the ring and grappling up and Kendrick manages to somehow apply a headlock on Cade and then tries to execute a headlock takeover but Cade is just too heavy for him to hit the move so Kendrick still applies the standing headlock but Cade then lifts him up and goes for a backdrop but Kendrick manages to backflip and land on his feet behind Cade and as Cade turns around Kendrick hits him with a spinning wheel kick! Cade gets up and looks like he’s starting to feel some frustration coming but Kendrick takes him down with another spinning wheel kick and Cade gets straight back up again and Kendrick kicks him in the gut and climbs out of the ring through the middle rope out onto the apron and he springboards onto the top rope but Cade suddenly runs over to him and shoves him off the top rope and to the outside of the ring and the crowd look sickened as Kendrick is left outside the ring, motionless after the drop he took. Paul London instantly goes to check on his partners condition with concern but Cade then leaves the ring and starts to pick a fight with London and Cade then shoves London but London doesn’t let Cade bully him and shoves him back but Cade then kicks London hard in the stomach region and throws him into the steel steps without any remorse. The crowd boo Cade louder than ever before as he lifts Kendrick onto his shoulders and he walks around with Kendrick on his shoulders for a second or two wandering what he could do and he then walks towards the ring post and he lifts Kendrick up in a gorilla press and he tosses Kendrick into the ring post, sending him hip first into it. As the referees count reaches 7, Cade slides Kendrick into the ring and then gets into the ring himself and he pins Kendrick, knowing it’s a certain 3 count. 1… 2… Paul London drags Cade off of Kendrick and out of the ring by his feet! Cade looks angered as London runs off and Cade decides to chase after him and London uses his immense speed to run far faster than Cade and London slides into the ring and as Cade tries to get into the ring London hits him with a dropkick to keep him out and then runs to the opposite ropes and rebounds off them and comes running towards Cade and full speed and hits him with a suicide dive!

JBL: Now that’s why I’ve never agreed with handicap matches. If it was a tag team match Cade’s partner could’ve stopped London from breaking up the pin but because he has no one to help him that can’t happen.
JR: Well it’s just about equal if you ask me when someone with the size and strength of Lance Cade takes on two of the smaller people like London and Kendrick.
Jerry Lawler: It might as well be one-on-one now though because Kendrick isn’t going to be much use.

The crowd go wild after London hits the suicide dive on Cade and London rolls straight back up to his feet and takes out all his anger on Cade with aggressive stomps after what Cade did to his partner and London then climbs onto the apron and as Cade gets up to his feet London tries to hit him with a flying crossbody but Cade catches him in mid-air and then lifts London onto his shoulders an walks to the ring post and lifts him up in a gorilla press and tries to throws London into the ring post but London manages to escape and he runs into the ring and Cade follows him into the ring and London kicks him in the gut, rebounds off the ropes and runs towards Cade for a sunset flip but Cade counters and hits London with a back body drop! London gets up to his feet as fast as he can and runs towards Cade but walks straight into the big boot of Cade. Cade then pulls London straight back up to his feet and throws him out of the ring through the middle rope and Cade then turns around and sees Kendrick, vulnerable on the mat. Cade walks over to Kendrick with a cocky grin on his face and he then stands tall over Kendrick proudly for a few seconds but Kendrick suddenly rolls him up in an inside cradle! 1… 2… Cade kicks out! Cade looks at Kendrick in shock and Kendrick may have used what was his last chance as Cade drags him up to his feet by his hair and he throws Kendrick into the corner and Cade goes across to the opposite corner and he charges towards Kendrick at full speed and goes for a shoulder to the gut but Kendrick moves out of the way and Cade’s shoulder collides with the ring post! Kendrick then notices Paul London climbing back onto the apron and he pulls himself to his feet and stumbles across the ring and makes the tag to London! London climbs straight to the top rope and as Cade comes out of the corner London hits him with a huge missile dropkick and Cade is sent straight down to the mat! London rolls back up to his feet ad as Cade gets up London starts to hit him with some rapid chops and Cade goes for a clothesline to respond but London ducks and as Cade turns back around London hits him with a step-up enziguiri sending Cade down to his knees! London then hits Cade with a few more chops while he’s on his knees and London then hits him with a mini dropkick to send him down to the mat. London then stomps on Cade a couple of times to make sure he stays down and he then climbs to the top rope and the crowd are cheering for him loudly as he leaps off the top rope and goes for a 450 splash but Cade moves out of the way as London crashes down to the mat! Cade then gets up to his feet and sends Kendrick flying off the apron and he then guides London up to his feet and lifts him up onto his shoulders and he hits him with an F-5! The crowd’s cheers for London quickly turn into boos for Cade in the space of less than thirty seconds as Cade rolls London onto his back and hooks his leg for the pin. 1… 2… 3!

Winner: Lance Cade

Cade gets up and lifts his arm in the air in victory and he looks over at London and walks over to him and the crowd are shouting "don’t do it" and Cade walks straight past London, feeling happy after getting all the crowd frightened

JR: How sick can you get? Lance Cade is on a reign of terror and he’s not letting anybody stand in his path.
JBL: Well that "Reign of Terror" just reached full force tonight! He absolutely destroyed London and Kendrick and gave them a match they’ll never forget.
Jerry Lawler: Well I don’t think Cade is "unstoppable" just yet. Matt Hardy only beat him 1 week ago so if they had a match next week what would stop Matt from winning then as well?
JR: Anyway folks we’ll be back… After the break.

Cryme Tyme are in their locker room and seem to have a disagreement

Shad: Yo Jay, last week we lose our titles and when I’m sat there in a bad mood wondering where you are, I switch on the TV and your in the ring again wrestling for another title. What’s up wit that man?

JTG: Hey, I had the choice to go and wrestle in the match and I took it! You got a problem with that?

Shad: Yeah I do! From my eyes it looks like you think your getting’ a lil too good for me and because you can’t win nothing with me your gonna go try do your own thing but that didn’t work much either and oh look, you’re back here with me aren’t you. Well guess what? Now it’s my turn, wait ‘til I beat that obese son of a bitch Mark Henry with ease and see how my career will take off from there… Without you!

JTG: Why you gotta be like this man? You can say what you like because I don’t really care, I know what the truth is and if you can’t take the fact that I want to one day be a success here then that’s your problem. I can’t believe you’ve known me for this long and you let something like this get between us.

Shad: Well I am gonna let it get between us because you know why? It’s not a matter of you trying to be a success, it’s a matter of you trying to prove that you can outshine me. I never thought we were a tag team with a "key player" because we were so good as a team but if you wanna go and make yourself the "star man" then go ahead, I ain’t stoppin’ you.

JTG: I don’t wanna be the "star playa" this is far from the point, man. I wouldn’t care if I never had a one-on-one match again if we could stay as a tag team but you know what, the way you’re acting. I say we end this for a few months and see how far we get goin’ our own ways. If it doesn’t work for neither of us then we can always go back to tagging up.

Shad: Well if that’s how you want it then fine, but if we go up against eachother then I ain’t gonna go easy on you so I guess we ain’t gonna be seeing eachother around much now so I might as well wish you look now, man.

JTG: Yeah, good luck to you too I guess. We had some good times. You wanna do it one more time… For the fans?

Shad and JTG (together): Money, Money, Yeah, Yeah!

Shad: Well all good things gotta come to an end so I gotta match to go to anyways.

Shad walks out, shaking his head in a mixture of disbelief and anger

Jerry Lawler: Am I daydreaming or did I just see Cryme Tyme split up?
JBL: Well I don’t like either of them anyway. All they do is steal people’s stuff and sell it in the hope of making some small change. I on the other hand am a self-made millionaire.
JR: How can you say that? Cryme Tyme were one of the best teams on the roster and are former tag team champions and they were unlucky to lose to MNMV2 last week.
JBL: Well I’m sticking with my opinion, which is my right. Anyway we have half of Cryme Tyme in Shad now going up against the "world’s Strongest Man" Mark Henry in a match which could be billed as a clash of the titans.

"Somebody’s gonna get it" hits as Mark Henry makes his way down to the ring accompanied by Matt Striker to a bad reaction from the crowd

Justin Roberts: Making his way to the ring first accompanied by Matt Striker, he is the "World’s Strongest Man"… Mark Henry!

"Bringin’ Da Hood to U" hits as Shad makes his way down to the ring alone to quite a few cheers from the crowd but he also gets a couple of boos from 5% of the crowd

Justin Roberts: And his opponent… Shad!

Mark Henry Vs Shad​

​

Ding… Ding… Ding!
​

Mark Henry goes straight over to Shad and grapples up thinking he won’t be much of a challenge but Shad drives several knees into the gut of Henry in the grappled position and Shad then breaks up the grapple and shoves Mark Henry over to the ropes and tries to clothesline him over the top rope but Henry ducks and runs to the opposite ropes in his typical slow style and as he comes back towards Shad, Shad hits him with a huge big boot! Mark henry drops straight onto his butt in a sitting position and Shad takes out his anger on Henry with an aggressive kick to the chest sending him to a lying position on the mat and Shad then hits him with a leg drop and rolls straight back up to his feet and hits an elbow on the follow-up. Shad then gets onto his knees and starts to lay into Henry with punches to the face and is dominating the match doesn’t even let Mark Henry get a look into the match and Shad then gets up and backs into the ropes but Matt Striker then grabs his leg and he then shouts at Striker and the two have a war of words until Henry takes Shad down with a running barge. Henry then stomps repeatedly on Shad and then kicks him under the bottom rope and out of the ring and as the referee tells him off for it, Matt Striker beats Shad down on the outside of the ring with stomps and several punches. Striker then rolls Shad back into the ring as soon as the ref stops arguing with Henry and he doesn’t notice a thing as Henry pulls Shad to his feet and he whips Shad to the ropes and as Shad rebounds off of them, Henry takes him down effortlessly with a strong clothesline. Henry then stomps on Shad a few times and hits him with a knee drop to the face. Henry then gets back up and pulls Shad up to his feet and hits him with a headbutt but Shad manages to stay on his feet and Shad replies with a strong punch and he runs towards Henry but Henry then manages to counter whatever Shad tries to attempt with a hip toss. Henry then waits for Shad to get up and when he does, Henry hits Shad with a slap to the chest and he then gets him in a modified version of a grapple and shoves him into the corner and Henry backs up a few paces and runs towards Shad and hits him with a hip attack to the gut area of Shad and Shad looks badly winded and Henry doesn’t stop there as he hits Shad with a few elbows and forearms and Henry then takes a few more steps back and runs towards Shad and goes for another hip attack but Shad manages to move!

JBL: Well both of these men have both dominated different parts of the match and I’ll be interested to see who comes out on top.
JR: Well Shad looks pretty impressive as a singles competitor and is very menacing.
Jerry Lawler: Shad is quite impressive I’ll admit that but he’ll have to do quite a lot of improving before he’s at the quality of the likes of Matt and Jeff Hardy.

Mark Henry clutches his lower back area in pain after it collides with the turnbuckle and Shad then shoves Henry over to the ropes and clotheslines him over the top rope and the crowd come back to life. Mark Henry then climbs straight back onto the apron and he and Shad trade punches and Shad manages to nail Henry with a European uppercut and he then suplexes Henry from the apron straight back into the ring. Henry gets up after a few seconds and he squares up to Shad and he shoves Shad but Shad doesn’t take it too well and he walks back up to Henry after the shove and he shoves Henry back and Henry stumbles on his feet after nearly falling. Shad then looks over to Henry and says "What?" and it makes Henry frustrated and Henry charges towards Shad but Shad sidesteps and Henry then runs to the ropes and rebounds off them but Shad then charges towards him and takes him down with a shoulder block. Shad then drags Henry back up to his feet and tries to lift him for a scoop slam but can’t muster up the strength to and Henry hits him with a few elbows to the head and Henry then lifts Shad up and hits him with a pumphandle slam! Henry goes for the pin. 1… 2… Shad kicks out! Henry gets up to his feet and stomps repeatedly on Shad and then guides him up to his feet and he drives a strong knee to his gut which winds him and Henry lets him recover for a moment and then hits him with a headbutt and as Shad runs back towards him and Henry hits him with a powerslam! Henry then hooks Shad’s leg for the pin. 1… 2… Shad kicks out again! Henry then gets up and pulls Shad to his feet and he lifts Shad up in position for a World’s Strongest Slam but Shad manages to escape from the grip of Henry with a string of strong elbows to the side of the head of Henry and Shad then takes Henry down with a DDT. Shad takes time out to recover and he eventually drags himself up to his feet and he strikes Mark Henry with a strong knee to the face as he’s getting up and he then tosses Henry into the corner and drives continuous punches into his gut area and then Shad starts to use his brawling ability by hitting Henry hard with punches to the face and Henry tries to shield himself from the blows using his forearms but the fists of Shad are just too hard as Henry tries to barge his way out but Shad shoves him back into the corner and hits him with some punches to any area his isn’t covering and Henry then plays possum and pretends Shad hit him where it hurts and the referee tells shad off but then Henry takes Shad down from behind.

JR: How dirty and underhanded can you get. I can sort of understand it when the underdog uses dirty tactics but Mark henry used to be World’s Strongest Man so there’s no need for it.
Jerry Lawler: Well I would do the same no matter what shape or size I was if someone like Shad was punching me like that.
JBL: Same here and I think that move may have just saved Mark Henry there. If Shad carried on much longer it could’ve been all over.

Mark henry then pulls Shad to his feet and wriggles his fingers before lifting Shad up high and locking him in a Bear Hug! Shad looks like he’s about to get out straight away by prising Henry’s arms away from eachother but Henry manages to maintain his grip and not let go and Shad then looks like he gives in with his attempts to break out as Henry squeezes harder and harder as he tries to get every inch of life out of Shad but Shad still isn’t giving in and he suddenly lifts his head up and there is a look of hope in his eyes as he suddenly finds some life and he manages to break one arm free and he hits Mark Henry with some jabs to the top of the head and Henry eventually releases his grip and Shad instantly runs to the ropes and rebounds off and nails Henry with a huge clothesline but it only sends Henry into the ropes but Shad then kicks Henry in the gut as he comes back off from the ropes and he then moves Henry over to his right side and he then lifts Henry up with the majority of his body on the right side of Shad and Shad musters up the strength and hits Henry with a Dominator! Shad then rolls Henry onto his back and hooks his leg for the cover. 1… 2… 3!

Winner: Shad

Shad celebrates and he turns around as Matt Striker tries to attack him from behind and Shad kicks him in the gut and nails him with a dominator before leaving the ring

JR: Impressive performance there by Shad and I hope he gets the spotlight he deserves as a singles competitor.
JBL: I don’t. Lance Cade is my man, he’s been waiting much longer for the spotlight and is by far the better performer.
Jerry Lawler: Well that just gave me an idea. Imagine how big that would be if Lance Cade and Shad faced off. They’ve been against eachother in tag team action but now their alone things could get interesting. Anyway folks after the break we have New WWE Television Champion CM Punk announcing his opponent and we also have New Undisputed Tag Team Champions MNMV2 in action against the Second Gen Superstars.

Cody Rhodes decides to start the match for his team while MNMV2 are discussing who should start and Cody Rhodes chooses for them running over to them and beating both of them down and as John Morrison runs up to him, Cody side-steps him and tosses him over the top rope and it leaves him and The Miz in the ring. The Miz squares up to Cody as they go nose-to-nose and The Miz starts to get cocky and he slaps Cody with his gloved hand and Cody holds onto his cheek for a moment but suddenly slaps Miz back with a slap which echoes through the arena. Miz then clutches his face in pain and he then starts to hit Cody with some punches but Cody fights back and it breaks out into an all-out brawl as both men trade punches all over the place and Cody then gets the advantage as he hits Miz with a series of chops before whipping him to the ropes and Miz rebounds off the ropes and Cody hits him with a back body drop sending Miz hard onto the mat! Cody then goes for the pin on Miz. 1… Morrison breaks it up!

Cody pulls The Miz back up to his feet and goes for a scoop slam but then stops The Miz in position for an inverted DDT but Miz then uses the ropes to walk up while Cody is still holding his head and Miz manages to do an assisted backflip over the head of Cody but Cody hits him with a modified cutter as Miz drops down to the mat! The crowd starts to get behind Cody as he tags in DH and DH sees The Miz getting up and instead of fighting him, he wants Miz to tag in John Morrison. At first Miz says no and gets in the face of DH but DH just shoves him away with a single hand and Miz walks back towards DH but then chickens out and runs over to his corner and tags in John Morrison.

JBL: Here comes the future World Champion that is John Morrison. This kid has got it all, wrestling ability, charisma, looks, you name it he got it.
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, I used to be just like that back in the 80’s…
JR: *chuckling* Well that was a very long time ago. I don’t think most of these fans were even alive back then!

Morrison enters the ring without backing down to the fight and he walks towards DH in the middle of the ring and they go chest-to-chest, nose-to-nose, head-to-head and Morrison then looks away over to The Miz and mocks DH but as Morrison turns back around and DH nails him with a hard, right-handed punch straight to the jaw and Morrison falls straight onto the mat as if it was in slow-motion. DH then urges Morrison to get up to his feet and as Morrison gets up to his feet DH guides him towards the ropes and then drives some strong knee strikes into his gut and he Irish whips Morrison to the opposite ropes and as Morrison rebounds off the ropes DH hits him with a hip toss followed by a quick cover. 1… 2 Morrison gets his shoulder up! DH gets up to his feet and tags in Cody Rhodes who runs into the ring and hits Morrison with a running knee strike to the side of the head as he’s trying to get up and Cody then drags Morrison up to his feet and whips him to he ropes but Miz makes the blind tag on Morrison as he rebounds off the ropes and Cody goes for a back body drop but Morrison lets Miz run into the ring and flip over and go for a sunset flip but Cody resists the move but Morrison then takes him down with a dropkick and Miz manages to perform the sunset flip after the help from Morrison. 1… 2… Cody kicks out! Miz gets up to his feet and runs to the ropes and rebounds off of them and Cody goes for a clothesline but Miz ducks underneath and rebounds off the opposite ropes and takes Cody down with a leg lariat and then locks Cody in a grounded sleeper hold. Cody moves his arms around a bit, trying to check how close he is to the ropes but he’s not close enough as Miz continuously tightens his grip to stop Cody from escaping and Cody tries to drag himself across the mat using his feet but the surface of the mat isn’t rough enough for it to work but then Cody realises Miz is the only obstacle in between him and the ropes and tries to roll over the top of The Miz’s body but Miz manages to shift his weight well enough to prevent him. Cody positions his legs to try and give himself an extra push but Miz then uses his legs to catch Cody in a rear naked choke! Cody panics instantly but realises now Miz is underneath him there is no obstacle between him and the ropes and he reaches out to the ropes but can’t just reach them but Cody then manages to use some strength to pull Miz up by sitting up and he then drops backwards with Miz behind him and Miz releases his grip of the hold and Cody still grabs the rope anyway.

Jerry Lawler: Wow! I thought Cody Rhodes was gonna tap out there and then.
JBL: So did I and I’m disappointed in The Miz for not getting the job done. He should’ve had Cody Rhodes finished as soon as he had the hold applied and then after locking in the rear naked choke too that should’ve been it but he screwed up.
JR: Well I don’t think it was The Miz "messing up" that caused the hold to be broken but it was Cody Rhodes showing that he has a heart just like his fathers and never gave in.

John Morrison is half-amazed at Cody escaping and half-angry at The Miz for letting Cody escape so easily by reading the look on his face and he asks The Miz for a tag but Cody Rhodes pulls himself to his feet and he hits Miz with a drop toe hold as he tries to run to Morrison and Cody then gets up and knocks Morrison off the apron with a hard fist and he than tries to walk over to DH Smith but Miz then lifts up his legs from the mat and takes Cody down with a drop toe hold of his own and Miz gets Cody in a crossface-like move but doesn’t intend to make Cody tap and he releases the hold quickly and rolls over to the front of Cody and gets on his knees and starts to drive some knees to the shoulders of Cody and Miz then gets up to his feet and pulls Cody up with him and Miz hits him with a strong kick to the gut and he then hits Cody with a double underhook suplex which looked pretty impressive. Miz then hooks Cody’s leg for the pin. 1… 2… Cody kicks out! Miz gets up and stomps on Cody a few times and pulls him back up again and hits him with a few chops but Cody then hits Miz with a punch to the gut and Cody then runs to the ropes, rebounds off them and goes for a Thesz press on Miz but Miz manages to catch him but the momentum sends him backwards and Cody manages to reach out and tag in DH while Miz still has him hoisted in the air! Miz hears the tag and drops Cody and tries to run but its too late as DH takes Miz down with a chop block and Morrison runs into the ring and DH hits him with a back body drop and both Miz and Morrison get up and DH takes them both down with a double clothesline and he then tosses Morrison out of the ring and pulls Miz to his feet. DH hits Miz with a few punches and then drags him over to the corner and lifts Miz up onto the top rope and DH then climbs onto the second rope for a superplex but Morrison then climbs back up onto the apron and climbs onto the second rope from the outside and Morrison and DH trade a few punches before DH manages to headbutt Morrison off the second rope and off the apron but Miz then manages to escape off the top rope through DH’s legs and Miz rebounds off the opposite ropes and comes charging back towards DH but DH hits him with a diving axe handle from the second rope and Miz stumbles around like he doesn’t know where he is and DH then kicks him in the gut and lifts him up for a suplex and nails him with a brainbuster! DH then makes the cover. 1… 2… 3!

Winners: The Second Generation Superstars

The SGS’ celebrate their victory while Miz is laid out but Morrison is quick to show the SGS’ that they may have won the match but MNMV2 are still the champs

JR: What an upset victory right there for the Second Generation Superstars. I think these two can finally up their levels and raise their game to championship level.
Jerry Lawler: Well with Cryme Tyme out the way it makes things easier for them and a win over the champs must put them in line for a title shot.
JBL: Well I’ll admit, those two got talent but that was a fluke. If it was any other day Miz and Morrison would’ve destroyed them.
JR: Well we now have CM Punk coming down to announce who he will be facing at Backlash.

"This Fire Burns" hits as CM Punk makes his first appearance as WWE Television Champion and he walks down the ramp letting the crowd touch his newly won championship to a great reaction from the crowd. He then enters the ring and grabs a mic

CM Punk: Well as you all know as the new… and first WWE Television champ I was given the duties of choosing my opponent. I had three choices, all the choices I beat last week, they were… Matt Hardy… Elijah Burke… and Shelton Benjamin. So I had a few days to think about it, my heart was saying Matt, my head was saying Shelton and Elijah was just the other guy and eventually I came to the conclusion that I should choose…

"Don’t Waste My Time" hits as Elijah Burke comes out onto the ramp

Elijah Burke: Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Well I guess seeing as you are about to choose me I’ll take back all the beatings we’ve given eachother, all the insults we’ve traded and we can put that behind us and this match can be about friendship.

CM Punk: Well Elijah, I didn’t exactly choose you but…

Elijah Burke: What do you mean! I was the United States Champion before those belts were unified so I should get my rematch anyway!

"Ain’t No Stoppin’ Me" hits as Shelton Benjamin walks up next to Elijah and grabs the mic from him

Shelton Benjamin: Sorry to burst your bubble but the reason he didn’t choose you is because he’s deciding to face me…

CM Punk: Shelton, you are going to play the same role as Elijah at Backlash so I’d shut my mouth if I were you.

Shelton Benjamin: So you mean I ain’t in this match either?

"Live for the Moment" hits as Matt Hardy comes out with his own mic

Matt Hardy: So if Elijah and Shelton aren’t gonna be wrestling you at Backlash that only leaves me…

CM Punk: Well now no-one else is gonna come out I’m gonna say what’s going down… Without any interruptions. First of all it’s not gonna be a one-on-one match like it was originally scheduled to be, and all three of you have the option of competing. I had a talk with GM Excell and I decided that I want to prove to the whole roster I’m the Television Champ for a reason so for one night only the championship will be contested under 24/7 rules! Anyone can find me and try to beat me down for the belt for one night only and I know I’m signing my own death certificate by doing this but you can come up to me with anything you like, steel chairs, kendo sticks… Hell, try and run me over if you have to because anything goes! I am out to prove although I’m the first champ, I will be the best champ ever and by walking out of Backlash with the belt that’s all I need to do to cement that place. Matt, Elijah, Shelton, bring all you got because I’m gonna be on fire!

JR: We are back and I’m certainly looking forward to Backlash now… 24/7 rules for the television championship, CM Punk is going to have his hands full then.
JBL: Yeah, he’s not gonna keep that title. He’ll have all three of those men to deal with and there are the likes of Lance Cade, Shad and Kane who may possibly be threats if they decide to involve themselves.
Jerry Lawler: Well speaking of Kane I haven’t seen him since Wrestlemania but my contacts close to me say he’ll be returning next week.
JR: Well we have a treat for you now folks, it’s gonna be a battle of old Vs new with MVP against none other than the "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.

"I’m Comin’" hits as MVP makes his way down to the ring to a huge amount of heat from the crowd after he assaulted Triple H last week

Justin Roberts: Making his way to the ring first, he is the "Playmaker"… Montel Vontavious Porter… MVP!

MVP Vs Shawn Michaels​

Ding… Ding… Ding!
​

HBK runs straight towards MVP and drives a strong knee straight into the gut of MVP nearly turning him inside out as he drops to the mat with a thud and HBK then stomps on him three times before dragging him straight back up to his feet and hitting him with two hard chops and he then guides MVP over to the corner where he hits him with a few more chops and he then starts to drive kicks into his gut and HBK then feels even more intensity and drives some illegal closed fist shots towards the face of MVP but the referee quickly manages to get in between them and talk HBK out of getting disqualified so HBK backs away to make the clean break but MVP comes charging out of the corner and takes HBK down with a shoulder barge and MVP then makes sure he keeps HBK on the ground by repeatedly stomping on him without stopping and MVP then gets down and starts to hit some mounted punches on HBK but then HBK manages to roll over so MVP is on the bottom and HBK hits some quick-yet strong blows to the face area of MVP but then MVP uses his forearms to cover his face and shield himself so HBK prises MVP’s arms apart but MVP suddenly hits a strong headbutt straight to the nose of HBK to slow him down. HBK falls back clutching his nose in pain and the referee notices something is up and blocks MVP from attacking HBK but MVP shoves him aside and drags HBK up to his feet and at the moment HBK takes his hand away from his face the crowd is shocked to see blood pouring down his face coming from his nose. MVP shoves HBK into the corner and starts to punch him in hope of making the cut worse but HBK doesn’t care how much he is bleeding and fights MVP off of him and HBK continues to drill MVP with punches to the head once he gets out of the corner and he then tries to kick MVP in the gut but MVP manages to catch the foot of HBK and HBK hops on his other foot for a few seconds and suddenly unleashes a stunning enziguiri to send MVP straight down to his knees and HBK then gets straight back up to his feet and tries to go for a mini Sweet Chin Music but MVP suddenly takes out HBK’s other leg before he can hit the move. HBK looks in pain after MVP just took out his previously injured knee and he clutches his leg as the ref checks up on him again but MVP shoves the ref out of the way again and stomps on the leg of HBK with HBK screaming for MVP to stop but MVP refuses to and continues to inflict pain on HBK and he then drags HBK over to the edge of the ring and wraps his leg around the bottom rope to stretch it and he stomps repeatedly on the knee of HBK and there is nothing the referee can do because it’s all legal.

Jerry Lawler: Shawn Michaels looks like he’s in trouble now.
JBL: Well I think so far with his matches in the past couple of weeks that experience means nothing and it’s about pure ability to wear an opponent down and he was unlucky to come up short last week.
JR: Well HBK has certainly taken a lot of damage at this early stage in the match and I’ll be interested to see if he can somehow make a comeback against MVP.

MVP continues to drive hard stomps onto the knee of HBK and the crowd are trying to urge HBK back to his feet with chants of his name but even the support of the crowd doesn’t seem to be enough now as MVP finally untangles HBK’s leg from the bottom rope after the damage has been done and he stomps on HBK’s knee three times before dragging him up to his feet and MVP leaves HBK to try and stand up for a few seconds but HBK quickly falls down but MVP catches him before he drops to the mat and he then MVP applies a sleeper hold on HBK and HBK doesn’t even have enough energy to try to escape and MVP quickly uses the sleeper to wear him down to a slouched position and eventually HBK drops down to the mat and MVP grabs him in a sleeper from his knees occasionally temporarily tightening his grip to cut HBK’s flow of oxygen. HBK doesn’t even look like getting back into the match at this point as he is lifeless on the mat but the crowd get even louder with their "HBK, HBK" chants and Shawn Michaels starts to show signs of movement and tries to pull MVP’s arms off of him but it doesn’t work so he slowly pulls himself and MVP up to their feet with HBK putting the majority of his weight on his good leg and he then falls backwards sending both men down to the mat and HBK reaches out for the ropes and manages to get to them! The crowd cheer loudly for HBK as the ref orders MVP to let go of him and MVP reluctantly does but he then quickly gets up to his feet and starts to stomp on HBK again but HBK manages to get out of the ring under the bottom rope. HBK takes some time to recover and MVP doesn’t seem to pleased about HBK using his tactics but HBK just gives him a cheeky smile back and wipes the remaining blood from his face. MVP then climbs out of the ring but before he can barely make it out HBK drags him out and the intensity is suddenly there and HBK drags MVP up to the crowd barricade and shoves him into it and delivers a series of chops to his chest and HBK then clotheslines MVP over the crowd barricade and punches him while they are on the ground and HBK then drags MVP back up to his feet and guides him away from the crowd barrier but then suddenly turns back around and tosses him shoulder first into it and HBK then throws MVP back over the crowd barricade and then climbs over himself. HBK then enters the ring but slides back out to restart the referee’s count and he then walks towards MVP as he’s getting to his feet but MVP acts fast and drops HBK with a drop toe hold onto the steel steps before rolling HBK into the ring and climbing into the ring straight after.

JR: Well as soon as Shawn Michaels managed to turn things around MVP managed to stop him before he gained too much momentum.
JBL: That’s another thing I like about MVP. He can dominate a mach for ages and even when his opponent manages to get some sort of look in most of the time he still manages to stop them.
Jerry Lawler: Well I was wondering whether that was HBK’s last chance or if he will be able to bounce back yet again. He seemed to have put an awful lot of aggression in that last barrage of attacks.

MVP gets in the ring and starts to taunt thinking HBK is going to be out for a while but after he finishes his taunt he turns around and HBK hits him with an inverted atomic drop and then a snap suplex to take MVP down to the mat. Michaels realises he has to inflict the damage before it’s to late for him so he drags MVP close to the centre of the ring and then climbs out of the ring onto the apron and over to the turnbuckle but stops and hesitates a moment and bends down to tend to his knee but it is only minor and he proceeds to climb up to the top rope and flexes his muscles on the top to get the crowd going before he leaps off the top rope and goes for his signature diving elbow drop but MVP puts his knees up and they collide with both the elbow and ribcage of HBK upon landing! HBK is holding the left side of his ribcage in pain and seems to be a walking talking injury at the moment as MVP gets up to his feet and he drags HBK up and pulls him by his hair over to the corner and MVP props HBK up before taking a few steps backwards and then charging forwards towards HBK and he goes for the Players Boot but HBK moves and MVP gets his foot stuck in the top rope. HBK then distances himself from MVP before tuning up the band and as MVP gets his foot off the top rope and turns around HBK goes for the Sweet Chin Music but MVP ducks and as HBK goes face to face with him after, MVP goes for the belly-to-belly suplex but HBK counters it by shifting it into a headlock before shoving MVP away and MVP goes for a clothesline but HBK ducks and proceeds to run to the ropes and he then rebounds off of them and he hits MVP with a flying forearm before doing a kip-up back to his feet and the crowds cheers for him get even louder. HBK then feels even more discomfort in his knee after doing the kip-up but he tries to ignore it and limps over to MVP but his leg hurts even more after walking and he bends over to check his leg but MVP then rolls him up with an inside cradle! 1… 2… HBK kicks out! HBK gets up and tends to his leg but MVP gets up soon after and he and HBK trade punches until MVP drives a cheap knee strike towards the gut of HBK and he then runs past HBK towards the ropes and rebounds off of them running directly towards HBK’s back and he takes out HBK’s bad knee yet again with a running chop block!

JBL: That’s how it’s done! MVP executed that amazingly and I don’t even think HBK will even be able to stand now.
JR: Shawn Michaels doesn’t give up that easily. He still has some fight left in him I can tell you that now.
Jerry Lawler: Are you sure about that because looking at the state he’s inI wouldn’t even bet on him making it to next weeks show.

MVP then gets up to his feet and has a smug grin on his face and seems proud of himself for the damage he’s done to HBK and the crowd boo him louder than they ever have before and MVP then places his foot directly on the knee of HBK and pushes it down to pressure the knee almost as if he’s trying to crush it but he then momentarily takes his focus off of HBK’s knee and takes some time out for showboating as he backs into the ropes and then comes towards HBK and goes for the Ballin’ Elbow but HBK manages to move and MVP smashes his elbow on the mat. HBK gets up to his feet and can barely walk but he still manages to hit MVP with a swinging neckbreaker as he gets up and HBK gets back up to his feet and hits MVP with a hip toss as he comes running back and HBK takes some time to relax his knee by holding his weight using the ropes and he then limps over to MVP as soon as he starts getting up and he tosses him shoulder first into the ring post and HBK then tries to roll him up in a school boy. 1… MVP kicks out! HBK looks desperate to get the win so he can leave and get his knee checked out and has a look of worry on his face as he gets up as MVP walks straight into a scoop slam from HBK and HBK then walks over to the corner where he lightly tunes up the band using his bad leg and he then goes for the Sweet Chin Music on MVP as he gets up but MVP drops down to his knees and catches him with a cheap low blow which the ref didn’t see! MVP then climbs back up to his feet and drags HBK back over to the centre of the ring by his head and forces him down to a bent over position before hitting him with The Playmaker! MVP then hooks his leg for the pin. 1… 2… 3!

Winner: MVP

MVP doesn’t even bother celebrating and instantly rolls under the bottom rope and gets his Money in the Bank briefcase and he slides it into the ring and then enters the ring and picks it back up and he stands tall over Shawn Michaels with a sickening look on his face but before he can do any more damage security pull him away and guide him to the back and a medical team run down the ramp to check out HBK

Randy Orton is backstage with Todd Grisham

Todd Grisham: Todd Grisham backstage with Randy Orton before tonight’s Main Event. Randy, I hear that you requested this interview space because you wanted to issue you opinions on tonight’s match.

Randy Orton: Yeah, that’s what I was planning on. First of all I would just like to say that I don’t have no-one that I want to win tonight, I’ve had my issues with both of those men and quite frankly I don’t give a damn who wins as long as at least one of those men are inured by the end of tonight and if the damage hasn’t been done then I will have to inflict it myself! Now as WWE Champion I’m supposed to defend against all comers as they say but that’s much harder than you think when you got a Crazy Marine, a guy who has died and came back to life more than once and I guy who is willing to kill himself to get the title all going up against you in one match so that'’ why I'm willing to take matters into my own hands to possibly reduce that number if Undertaker or Jeff Hardy don’t eliminate each other from the race. And just so everything goes according to plan I will be monitoring the match from ringside.

Todd Grisham: Well don’t you think you’ll be punished if you don’t take out either Jeff Hardy or The Undertaker?

Randy Orton: Well as I said I won’t have to do anything if the match goes according to plan but if it doesn’t then desperate times call for desperate measures and I don’t care what punishment I end up with as long as I walk out of Backlash as the new Undisputed Champion.

Todd Grisham: Haven’t you thought about what will go down if john Cena arrives on the scene?

Randy Orton: If Cena does arrive on the scene it will be for no other reason than the one I will be there for. Cena has no other reason to be there apart from preventing me doing anything and if that does happen to be the reason if he turns up then I won’t mind eliminating him from the race either. Now I’m gonna go make my way to the match and get my "front row seat".

Orton walks off and MVP then arrives on the scene and grabs the mic from Todd Grisham

MVP: Triple H, Shawn Michaels, I think now it’s time for you to admit that I am the better man. I’ve already put you out of action Hunter and you, Shawn, well if my guess is right then you’re probably in an ambulance right now. But now onto the real reason I’m here. Triple H, I want to challenge you to a match at Backlash. I know I beat you to a bloody pulp but I never got to beat you 1, 2, 3 like I did to Shawn Michaels so at Backlash it may just be bragging rights for me but you have a lot more to fight for and I know you do so I’m guessin’ you’ll be accepting my challenge. You have until next week to make your decision.

MVP walks off

JR: How sickening can you get? MVP already put HBK out of action and he would have done even more damage if it wasn’t for security.
Jerry Lawler: Well I know what he’s been doing recently is wrong but he’s trying to make his mark in the WWE ad is trying to prove he isn’t a pushover like some people say he is.
JBL: Well all I’m gonna say is if Triple H does accept this challenge it’s bound to be one hell of a match because as MVP said, Triple H’s pride is on the line but MVP just wants the win for bragging rights.


Randy Orton walks past the announce table and places a chair close to it and takes a seat in front of the ring and the camera then turns to the ladders being placed with one on the ramp, one at ringside and probably more underneath the ring

"No More Words" hits as Jeff Hardy makes his way down to the ring to a standing ovation from the majority of the crowd but boo’s from the Undertaker fans

Jeff Hardy Vs The Undertaker
$50,000 Ladder Match​

Ding… Ding… Ding!
​

Both men circle the ring with Undertaker in a fighting stance ready to throw a few punches and both men approach eachother and meet in the middle of the ring with Jeff crouching slightly and as soon as Undertaker tries to swing a punch Jeff rolls under his arm and ends up behind his back and Undertaker then tries to swing another punch but Jeff rolls under his arm yet again and ‘Taker starts to grow frustrated of Jeff’s tactic’s quickly but before ‘Taker can do anything Jeff slides under the bottom rope and out of the ring but ‘Taker follows and Jeff then manages to slide back in the ring and he then slingshots out of the ring and goes for a slingshot crossbody on ‘Taker but ‘Taker catches him and he then tosses Jeff back-first into the ring post. Jeff holds his lower back in pain with Randy Orton only a few metres away with a look of happiness on his face because of ‘Taker doing the damage to Jeff and as ‘Taker comes closer to pull Jeff to his feet, Orton gets up and moves his chair to the other side of the ring to avoid ‘Taker. ‘Taker props Jeff up against the ring apron and hits him with a punch to the jaw to make sure he stays there and ‘Taker then picks up the ladder at ringside and approaches Jeff with it but before ‘Taker can do anything, Jeff manages to get into the ring out of harms way but Jeff doesn’t stay inside the ring and instead attempts another slingshot crossbody and he takes down ‘Taker but Jeff also manages to damage himself after colliding with the ladder! The crowd are going wild with most of the crowd currently cheering for Jeff but the hardcore ‘Taker fans still refuse to cheer for him as he pulls ‘Taker to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Jeff then enters the ring himself and he Irish whips ‘Taker as he gets up to his feet and ‘Taker rebounds off of the ropes and Jeff tries to leapfrog him but ‘Taker catches him in a powerbomb position while he was in mid-air and ‘Taker then walks towards the centre of the ring and lifts Jeff up even higher in a Last Ride attempt but Jeff manages to counter it into a sunset flip but pinfalls don’t count in ladder matches. Jeff quickly gets up to his feet and he drives two knee strikes to the gut of ‘Taker and then goes for a snap suplex but Jeff can’t lift him. Jeff tries and tries to lift him but he can’t find the strength and then all of a sudden ‘Taker counters with a suplex of his own. ‘Taker then leaves the ring and picks up the ladder which he previously had and slides it into the ring and he then props it up in the corner and Randy Orton has a sadistic smile on his face knowing some damage is going to be done.

Jerry Lawler: Well what a hell of a way to start this match off! We’ve had action inside the ring and outside the ring.
JR: And it looks like Randy Orton is loving every moment of it! These men are tearing their bodies apart and all he cares about is getting the gold at Backlash.
JBL: So would I. I wouldn’t care if I had to face a guy with every single bone in his body broken if it made winning any easier.

‘Taker guides Jeff to his feet by his hair and he drags him over to the ladder positioned in the corner and shoves him back-first into it and ‘Taker then walks all the way across the ring over to the opposite corner and he then runs back towards Jeff and goes for a Stinger Splash like move but Jeff manages to move out of the way quickly enough and ‘Taker goes crashing into the ladder! ‘Taker stumbles around in a dazed state and he walks straight into Jeff who goes for a kick to the gut but ‘Taker grabs his foot and Jeff then hops up and down and looks like he’s going to hit an enziguiri but he suddenly "switches gears" and jumps the other way and corkscrews to hit ‘Taker with a dragon whip! ‘Taker still doesn’t go down but he is now slumped against the ropes and Jeff starts to hit him with some forearm shots but then stops and walks away from ‘Taker and picks up the ladder. Jeff charges towards ‘Taker and smashes the ladder into him with a loud clatter and Jeff then puts the ladder up a few metres away and climbs up half way and as ‘Taker approaches him after recovering, Jeff takes a leaf out of his brothers book and hits a jumping elbow to the top of ‘Taker’s head and Jeff then whips ‘Taker to the ropes and as ‘Taker rebounds, Jeff goes for a hip toss but yet again he can’t take the weight of Undertaker so Jeff then runs to the ropes himself and rebounds off but runs straight into a clothesline from ‘Taker, who makes it look effortless. ‘Taker then pulls Jeff back up to his feet by his hair and he then grabs Jeff by his arm and twists it and he then walks over to the corner and ‘Taker climbs up to the top rope and walks across and goes for the "Old Skool" but Jeff manages to shove ‘Taker off balance but he still manages to land on the apron and Jeff then runs to the ropes around the corner from ‘Takers and he springboards off of them and knocks ‘Taker off the apron with a triangle dropkick sending him to the arena floor. Jeff then gets a look of confidence on his face for the first time in the match and he sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring and begins to climb it. Jeff makes his way up to the top of the ladder fairly quickly but is struggling to reach the briefcase. Jeff then starts to panic as ‘Taker slowly slides himself back into the ring and he climbs up the same side of the ladder as Jeff and grabs his leg but Jeff won’t move so ‘Taker tries climbing up further so Jeff turns it into a game of cat and mouse by shifting over to the other side of the ladder and as ‘Taker reaches the top, Jeff hits him with a sitout jawbreaker-like mover, sending ‘Takers jaw into the top of the ladder and sending Jeff landing on his feet on the mat as ‘Taker tries to hold onto the ladder but his grip slowly starts to fade after the jawbreaker and he eventually drops off the ladder and down to the mat.

JBL: Wow, I’m shocked to see Jeff Hardy’s tactic’s working so well against The Undertaker.
JR: Me too but Jeff is one of the masters of the ladder match so he has the experience edge over ‘Taker when it comes down to this match.
Jerry Lawler: Come on now, Jeff isn’t going to win this, he’s just on a lucky run. ‘Taker has a huge power edge and if he brings the ladders into play he could destroy Jeff, that’s if Jeff doesn’t destroy himself.

Jeff then approaches ‘Taker and drags him over to the corner and he sits him up, tying his arms up using the bottom rope on either side of the turnbuckle for each arm and he then starts to stomp on ‘Taker’s shoulder area and then drives some small kicks to the chest and gut of ‘Taker and Jeff then backs up about 5 steps and he then runs back towards the corner and places his hands on the top rope and raises his legs high into the air before dropping back down and dropkicking ‘Taker straight in the face! Orton claps at Jeff from outside the ring and Jeff just glares at him not knowing what to think but he then quickly turns his attention back to the match and he drags the ladder closer to the centre of the ring and he looks at ‘Taker and decides not to climb the ladder as he walks back over to ‘Taker and he pulls him up to his feet in the corner and he tries to punch ‘Taker but ‘Taker suddenly bursts back to life and throws Jeff into the corner after countering his punch and he turns the tables on Jeff driving strong, swift blows to the body of Jeff and 'Taker then drives a few punches to the face too and Jeff finally manages to cover his face are using his arms and ‘Taker realises enough’s enough with the punches and he then lifts Jeff up onto his right shoulder and he walks away from the corner before turning back around and dropping Jeff down face first onto the top turnbuckle for the Snake Eyes and ‘Taker the runs off the adjacent ropes as Jeff stumbles around in the centre of the ring and ‘Taker sends Jeff down to the mat with a running big boot to follow up the Snake Eyes. ‘Taker then stomps a few times on Jeff and then hits him with an elbow drop and gets up and hits another elbow drop and ‘Taker then backs into the ropes and comes back towards Jeff and hits him with a leg drop and ‘Taker then gets up and pulls Jeff back up to his feet with the momentum now on his side. ‘Taker shoves Jeff into the ropes and as Jeff rebounds off the ropes ‘Taker goes for a back body drop on him but Jeff catches him early before he can hit the move and Jeff kicks ‘Taker in the chest while he’s bent over and Jeff then turns back around, rebounds off the same ropes and tries to go for a crossbody but ‘Taker catches him just like earlier on and ‘Taker then takes Jeff down with a modified scoop slam. ‘Taker then grabs the ladder and moves it over to the corner again and he takes his time to make sure it’s in place and he turns back around and guides Jeff back to his feet and he gets Jeff in a wrist lock in the centre of the ring and ‘Taker then drives his own shoulder repeatedly into the shoulder of Jeff’s while the wrist lock is still applied and it takes Jeff down to his knees and ‘Taker then releases his grip of the wrist lock and he starts to drive some punches to the face of Jeff while he’s down on his knees. ‘Taker then drags Jeff across the ring by his hair and he places Jeff’s neck across the middle rope and ‘Taker then places his knee across the back of Jeff’s head and pushes down, cutting Jeff’s supply of oxygen but ‘Taker breaks it up after about 7 seconds knowing he could have held it down for longer if he wanted to.

JBL: I’m getting excited now. That just then proved that ‘Taker is willing to break the rules to get the win. I think we’re seeing shades of The Undertaker of old.
JR: We may well be but I think he just wants Jeff Hardy to suffer after giving ‘Taker a run for his money at the start of the match.
Jerry Lawler: Well I don’t know who to agree with but I don’t think ‘Taker has good plans for Jeff now, especially with that ladder over there in the corner.

‘Taker then drags Jeff up to his feet by his hair and he sits Jeff up on the top rope and drives a strong hook to the jaw of Jeff nearly knocking him off the turnbuckle and onto the apron but ‘Taker catches him and makes sure he remains on the top rope and he then climbs up onto the second rope but Jeff doesn’t let ‘Taker even attempt the superplex by driving several punches to the midsection of ‘Taker and ‘Taker is then sent to a bent over position on the second rope and Jeff then stands up on the top rope and he dives forward and hits a sunset flip powerbomb on ‘Taker, driving him down to the mat at full power! Orton applauds Jeff yet again with a smug look on his face and Jeff starts to grow sick of his mind games, knowing Orton wants him hurt and Jeff climbs out of the ring and stares at Orton for a few moments with Orton staring straight back at him from his chair and all of a sudden Jeff starts to chase Orton and Orton bursts out of his chair in a bid to make a getaway. Orton runs around the ring and kicks down the steel steps to try and slow Jeff down and Orton then slides in one side of the ring and back out the opposite side and when Jeff enters the ring he runs straight into ‘Taker who places his hand firmly around the neck of Jeff and lifts him up and drops him with a huge Chokeslam! ‘Taker then exits the ring through the middle rope and Orton starts to back up the ramp, thinking ‘Taker is after him but ‘Taker pulls a second ladder from underneath the ring and he slides it into the ring and makes a cut-throat signal to Orton before sliding into the ring himself. ‘Taker gets up and makes sure Jeff is still down and out before setting up the ladder in the middle of the ring as Orton moves back to take his seat it diverts ‘Taker’s attention for a second or two but he then proceeds to make his way up the ladder slowly and carefully and as he reaches the top Orton gets up out of his seat and ‘Taker’s attention is once again turned by the actions of Orton and as Orton sits back down ‘Taker reaches up for the briefcase but his hand slips and ‘Taker takes a moment to regain his balance but then suddenly out of nowhere, Jeff Hardy comes flying from the corner and hits the ladder with a missile dropkick and the ladder falls into the ropes and sends ‘Taker flying out of the ring! Orton then gets up out of his seat and pulls ‘Taker up to his feet but Jeff then warns Orton and tells him to get his hands off ‘Taker and to leave it a one on one match as he leaves the ring and Orton backs away yet again. Jeff grabs ‘Taker by his head and rolls him back into the ring but makes sure his head is still sticking out on the apron and Jeff then climbs up on the apron himself and looks like doing ‘Takers famous apron legdrop but Jeff then walks to the corner and climbs up to the top rope. Jeff then does his brothers "V1" pose and goes for a diving legdrop on ‘Taker on the apron but ‘Taker moves his head just in time and Jeff goes crashing onto the apron and he then drops down to the arena floor.

Jerry Lawler: Now this is what you call a back and forth match! Look at all the damage these two have inflicted on eachother, it’s been even all the way and they’ve both had their moments so far.
JBL: My money’s still on ‘Taker though. I mean with power you can destroy an opponent but where’s speed gonna get you, up the ladder faster? I do like Jeff Hardy it’s just that he’s not all about the speed but yet he still relies on it too much.
JR: Well that’s your opinion and I think many of these fans will disagree with you but as for the match I have to admit this is better than the first time these two fought in a ladder match.

Both ‘Taker and Jeff are both laid out on the mat and arena floor respectively and Randy Orton is taking a huge amount of pleasure at watching his two opponents at Backlash suffer but he then starts to focus on the match again as Jeff starts to pull himself up using the ring apron and ‘Taker starts to pull himself up using the ropes and Jeff manages to get to his feet first and he slides into the ring just as ‘Taker makes it up to his feet and he and Jeff begin to trade punches with each other slowly and every punch by either men look like they could possibly take the other of their feet as they stumble around as if they have no clue where they are and Jeff goes for a punch to ‘Takers face but ‘Taker blocks it and starts to dish out a combo of different punches left, right and centre with Jeff feeling the pain and ‘Taker then Irish whips Jeff towards the ladder positioned in the corner and as Jeff approaches it he runs straight up the ladder and hits ‘Taker with a Whisper in the Wind after running all the way up the ladder! The crowd go crazy and a slow motion replay of the move is shown and Jeff gets back up to his feet and looks over at Orton who is clapping yet again and Jeff then climbs out onto the apron and Orton jumps over the crowd barricade to run but Jeff climbs up the turnbuckle instead of chasing him and Jeff gets ready to perform a Swanton Bomb but he then jumps back down to the mat and he stands one of the ladders up next to one of the corners and he begins to climb it and as he reaches the top he turns around to face ‘Taker who is still down and out and Jeff takes a few moments to look around from his sky-high view and he looks down at Orton who is searching under the ring but he ignores him and he leaps off the top of the ladder and hits ‘Taker with a Swanton Bomb! Jeff stays down for a few moments clutching his lower back and the camera then turns to Orton who pulls a table from underneath the ring and he takes his seat again and leaves the table right next to him on the arena floor. As the camera goes back to the action in the ring, ‘Taker looks out for the count while Jeff is trying to pull himself back to his feet with the middle rope and Jeff nearly reaches his feet but falls back down to his knees. Jeff pulls himself back up and leans against the ropes for a while to get his mind back into things and he then walks dizzily over to the closest ladder and he drags it over to the middle of the ring and slowly begins to climb it. As Jeff climbs the ladder Orton enters the ring behind him with the table and he sets up the table close to the side of the ladder but Jeff doesn’t even notice with all his attention on the briefcase but suddenly his foot slips off the steps and gets caught in the ladder and as Jeff is trying to get his foot out Orton begins to climb up the other side of the ladder, slowly stalking his prey and as Jeff manages to get his foot out from the support on the ladder he looks up to see Orton, who instantly leaps across and RKO’s Jeff off the ladder and through the table! Orton gets straight back up with an evil, sadistic grin on his face and he climbs back up the ladder pretty quickly and pulls down the briefcase.

Winner: No Contest

JR: The extreme’s this man reaches to get what he wants absolutely sickens me.
Jerry Lawler: Jeff Hardy might be out of action for quite a while after that, I haven’t seen him move a muscle while he’s been down there on the mat.
JBL: Well Orton has done what he intended to do and that was leave both men as damaged as they can get and I’m sure they’ll both still be feeling pain even though Backlash is still 3 weeks away.

Before Orton can even make a getaway "My Time is Now" hits and John Cena comes sprinting down the ramp to an amazing pop from the crowd and he and Orton start to trade punches in the middle of the ring and Cena gains the advantage but Orton then rakes Cena in the eyes and picks up the briefcase and smashes Cena in the head with it and he then pulls Cena straight back up to his feet and hits him with an RKO! Orton then celebrates with the briefcase with all of his Backlash opponents down and out in the very same ring but behind Orton’s back The Undertaker sits up and the crowd’s boos instantly turn into cheers as ‘Taker creeps up behind Orton and he forcefully turns Orton around and lifts him up for a Tombstone Piledriver with Orton wriggling his legs in panic but ‘Taker doesn’t care as he drops Orton on his head with the Tombstone! ‘Taker then kicks the briefcase out of the ring and focuses back on Orton and applies his Gogoplata Choke on Orton who is tries to wriggle out of it but gradually stops all movement as blood starts to pour from his mouth as the show goes off air

End of Show

 

[Evil Austin]

Good Show man.. Great return..

Best Match - Was a hard choice but I have to say Jeff Hardy vs The Undertaker and was very surprising with the Randy Orton moment but that was quite good.

Worst Match - None ....

Worst Promo - None all had a meaning and all were not random shit like we talked about on msn..

Best Promo - TBH I liked the Cryme Tyme one.. quite entertaining and funny.

Again great show, expect reviews in the future, speaking of reviews please follow up on all of your promises we were talking about.. and thanks for the advice on msn...

 

[Qwake]

BM: The main event ladder match between Hardy and Undertaker, this was a kickass match. It was an awesome length and really entertaining, Randy Orton's interuption will get fueds goin also with Cena running down...

WM: none, I really enjoyed all of the matches. They were all quite long too even the lower carded superstars

BP: I quite liked Randy Orton and GM Excell, it was good and quite in character...I also thought cryme tymes was good and Punks and the others was interesting too.

WP: None tbh, they were all quite good, not perfect but they were still quite good...

AF: Well this was a hell of a show, I really enjoyed the matches even the lower card matches and the promos were quite good too
This was a great comeback show and keep it up, 7.5/10

 

[The Leviathan]

Best Match:

Taker/Jeff Hardy Ladder Match - this is a great match compared to the real Ladder Match at Raw. It's only disappointing that no one won the match thanks to Orton

MVP/Shawn Michaels - this is a sick match indeed and it definitely put over MVP and it hypes a feud between them.

Jay Lethal/Charlie Haas - Yeah I liked the match and it's a great way to start off Raw.

Worst Promo: n/a

Best Promo: Cryme Tyme one, I thought Shad will lose to Mark Henry to get him piss and turn him to heel but he won. I am still looking forward to see as I feel that one of them will turn on each other.

Worst Promo: n/a, all promos have a point.

Additional Feedbacks: Nice return show Switch, tbh, I got tired when reading the MNM/Harry and Cody match but I got my interest back when reading the MVP/Shawn one, I am totally digging it. Orton is a monster in this show and I thought Cena will stop him but good to see Taker is the one who stopped it. This is a great show overall. I am checking out your next show.

 

[Moonlight Drive]

BM: The Main Event. Ladder matches are my favourite matches to write and too watch, and that was a classic. Good way to continue the feud with the Orton/Cena run-ins

WM: They were all good

BP: I liked the one with Randy and the GM, Crym Tymes at a close second

WP: None, like whats already been said, all served a purpose

AF: Awesome show man

Stop by my fed if you get time, I've posted Monday Night Dynamite Episode 33

 

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

Lethal vs Haas: A nice opener, but it was obvious who was going to win lol. You used Haas technically like normal, and the match flowed well because you kept both using their right styles.

Lethal promo: Kinda generic new guy stuff, but the interruption from Chavo was welcome. This should be a good feud between the two.

Orton/Excell: Orton was pretty down well, and I guess the Excell character is just a generic face, so that worked well. I thought this was a nice promo, and it gives us two big matches for next week.

Lance Cade vs Londrick: Interesting billing of Cade as the ‘Lone Ranger’. Cade was pretty dominant throughout, minus when Londrick used their speed. Interesting finish with the F5. I’m seeing a big Cade push here.

Cryme Tyme promo: This was awesome imo. It really felt like I could see it happen, and it just seemed so natural. I’m guessing Shad may get a push as a heel out of this eventually.

Shad vs Mark Henry: You sold Shad as being amazingly strong throughout the match, with things like Shad actually taking Henry down with a shoulder block, being more powerful with a push and using the Dominator. Was a lot better than I expected, and I was fairly impressed with the action.

Morrison/Miz vs SGS: Really surprised you had Rhodes and Smith go over here. I really felt as if Miz and Morrison would go over throughout. Finish of the match was kind of unique, and I’m not sure I have ever seen Smith come off the ropes with a double axe handle. Besides that it was good.

CM Punk promo: Interesting. It was well structured, with each man coming out. For some reason, I think neither of these four men will leave Backlash with the title. I’m guessing Lance Cade will be champ.

MVP vs HBK: Wow, this was a nice long match, and is MOTN so far. The ending was a classic heel finish for MVP to get the win, and it did shock me a bit, especially after he worked over the leg of HBK. Match flowed pretty well, and sets up a future match, which is always good.

Orton promo: Orton came off as the smug, arrogant heel he is.

MVP promo: You are really having MVP come off as ‘dangerous’ in this feud, and I am liking it. Nice promo from MVP, laying down the challenge.

Undertaker vs Jeff Hardy: Wasn’t filled with as many spots as I thought. You had Jeff go for the leg drop off the top of the ladder, and the Swantom, but not too much else. It didn’t have to be too spotty to be good though. I loved Orton’s interference and him taking the briefcase down. Aftermath with Cena getting RKO’ed was good, and Taker came out on top. I’m guessing that won’t happen at Backlash.

AC: I think this was a good comeback show, which either enhanced talent or set up Backlash. You were very smart in the way you wrote it and it was a joy to read. Great show mate.

Latest News​

Carlito Soon To Return?
Some fans will be pleased to hear the news that Carlito has been cleared to participate in the next edition of monday Night Raw after healing up from a bad knock he received in the Money in the Bank match, falling off a ladder and injuring his ankle after a bad landing. However, even though he has been cleared to particiapte, the WWE Writers have told Carlito that he will not be involved in any storylines until after Backlash and if he is to compete next week then he'll probably not be playing a major part in anything and he may not even be at the show so WWE can make sure he is 100% when he returns to prevent any more problems which may affect Carlito's career in the long term.​

FCW Re-Opens (New roster Announced)
WWE Developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling has now officially re-opened and its new roster consists of quite a few wrestlers not currently needed on Raw since the break up of the Brand Extension. The new roster is as follows:​

Atlas DaBone
Chris Harris
Colt Cabana
Curt Hawkins
Eddie Colon
Evan Bourne
Finlay
Gregory Helms
Jamie Noble
Jimmy Wang Yang
Kenny Dykstra
Kofi Kingston
Paul Burchill
Ron Killings
Santino Marella
Shannon Moore
Umaga
William Regal
Zack Ryder​

Note: I will not be writing FCW shows but I will post results in with my Raw previews, just kinda get you guys more involved with the newer talent and maybe have you voice your opinions on who should be called up​

Kaz Update
WWE's hopes of signing Kaz from TNA have increased as he has declined an improved new contract from TNA yet again which even included at least 10 titles shots over the next 3 years but Kaz has admitted being in TNA is nothing when you can have the maximum exposure in a company like WWE. He has also confirmed he and WWE have had talks and once he has signed he will report to FCW to brush up on his skills and after a couple of mnoths he should be called up to the Main Roster provided he doesn't suffer any injuries. A major source says a deal should be made in the next week or two so keep checking for updates to see if anything has happened.​

That's everything, check out my preview when I post it in the next couple of days and a Backlash Card and Poster is coming soon and all comments are repped and reivews get a review back as well as rep (call it bribey, 'cause yea, it is)​

Thanks​

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Nice set of updates. Poor Carlito, I guess he will be in the doghouse for now. I am curious about Kaz, lol at him being offered 10 reigns in 3 years. I can only assume he will be reporting to WWE very soon

 

[Switchy]

^^I said title shots, not reigns btw lol and I ain't gonna say much more but Carlito isn't in he doghouse, I just didn't have any plans for him lol. Good old kayfabe there to save the day.

 

[xtremebadass]

I would love to see Kaz in WWE, I mean back in WWE, I still remember Velocity All Star "the future" Frankie Kazarian, oh boy was that terrible, he got fired because he wouldn't cut his hair, he shows up in TNA a couple weeks later with a haircut, what an idiot.

Anyways, I loved the FCW...CHRIS HARRIS!!!! Hell yea, can't wait to see what you do with this one!

Raw Preview

How will Orton be punished?
Last monday on Raw, Randy Orton interupted the Main Event $50,000 ladder match between The Undertaker and Jeff Hardy and claimed the spoils for himself depsite not even being involved in the match and GM Excell was outraged at Orton's actions and Excell is now even more infuriated now Jeff Hardy has been deemed out of action for up to a month, effectively putting him out of the match at Backlash so with this anger, many people are wondering what sort of punishment he will give Orton. Options may be limited because GM Excell is not allowed to remove the champion from a title match so that also throws a suspension out of the door as well and as well as thinking up a punishment fro Orton, GM Excell will have his hands full because he has to find a replacemtn fro Jeff Hardy as well before the end of the show so tune in to find out what happens.

No more Cryme Tyme
Last week fans were shocked to see the split of one of their favourite tag teams, Cryme Tyme. The split was fuelled by the fact Shad wasn't very happy about JTG trying to pursue a the Light-Heavyweight title without even talking to him about it but Shad clais what made it worse is the fact it was straight after they lost their World Tag Titles. JTG has been annonuced in a singles match against Charlie Haas and it will be interesting to see how he copes on his own and Shad has already proved he is a dominant force after defeating Mark henry last week so we will have to see what comes from this.

Kane Returns
This Monday will mark the first appearance of Kane since he defeated big Show at Wrestlemania but he will face stiff competition as his return match is against a man who has been tearing through the roster in recent weeks. This match will definately be a clash of the titans and Kane is no stranger to fighting men similar to his own size whereas Lance Cade has had little-to-none and is a stranger to matches where his opponent isn't easy to dominate. It will be intersting to find out whether Cade can overcome his challenge but Kane also has a point to prove now he's back that he's no pushover and if he gets past Cade then that should easily prove that point.

Announced Matches:
JTG Vs Charlie Haas
John Morrison Vs Cody Rhodes
Matt Hardy and CM Punk Vs Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke
Kane Vs Lance Cade

Show reviews = Rep + Review in return, thank you.

[THE Renegade Diesel]

Wow, Raw look's VERY good.. Can't wait Switchy... Will be reviewing...
