Ladies & Gentleman, I bid you farewell from the BTB section for a little while. It could be a week, 2 weeks, a month. I don't know. Mentally, I am not feeling 100% and I don't know what's going on, I'll be speaking to my mum about it. This is everything up yo Wrestlemania 24. I was looking forward to this so much and I couldn't wait to write it but I just can't so this is from the next episode, to WM24. It'll be in recap.
Lead Up to 'Gauntlet for Glory'
The December 31, New Year's Eve edition of RAW was a big one. We saw Booker T get granted his Intercontinental Title shot against CM Punk at 'Gauntlet for Glory'. From there on until the massive PPV we saw all the feuds get hot. Shawn Michaels kept dropping hints to Eric Bischoff as to how he wasn't happy with what happened in the past and John Cena seemed to be the raging favorite to win the GFG Match. The RVD/AJ Styles differences started to become a big thing and the two started showing their disliking of each other. Matt Hardy was still the Xtreme Division Champion and showed no chance of slowing down. Finally it had been set in stone. The card for GFG was..
UWA World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H(c) vs John Morrison vs Edge
UWA Prodigy Championship

Shelton Benjamin(c) vs Cody Rhodes

After Triple H seemed to have the match in control, he had just recently Pedigreed John Morrison and was about to attack Edge when Shawn Michaels appeared in the ring and superkicked him! Edge then took advantage and hooked the leg to become new UWA World Heavyweight Champion!
30 Man Gauntlet for Glory Match
In an amazing match which saw every superstar give their all. It was down to 6. Randy Orton, John Cena, Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles and Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes was the first to go in an inspirational performance from the youngster, followed by Jeff Hardy, then AJ Styles. It was now 3, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho and John Cena. Cena eliminated Orton after an RKO attempt which saw Cena throw Orton over the ropes. He then turned around to a groggy Jericho and lifted him up for an FU, but Jericho landed on the apron and kept Cena in a facelock and nailed a modified suplex off the apron. Chris Jericho was the 2008 Gauntlet for Glory Winner and was going to Wrestlemania!
For the following weeks it was mainly Wrestlemania hype. Shawn Michaels came out on the following 'Ignition' and made a shocking announcement to Triple H. Triple H was the one Shawn Michaels wanted to face at 'Mania and that is why he cost him the title. He wants it to be a level playing field. John Cena and Jericho were not happy with each other and showed their differences. In the end the Wrestlemania Card was set in stone it was..
