Wrestlemania XXVI; The Rock vs. John Cena will it happen?

2009-11-27T22:13:00.001Z

--The next issue of Inside Wrestling features The Rock and John Cena on the cover of the magazine with a headline reading: "Hot WrestleMania Rumor - John Cena vs. The Rock." The sister publication of Pro Wrestling Illustrated claims that the "mega-bout is closed to being signed." The article's synopsis reads: "The relationship between The Rock and John Cena is strange. Cena respects all The Rock has accomplished yet seems to resent it at the same time. That is why "The Champ" is pining for a match with The Rock at WWE's showcase event. Word is, this mega-bout is close to being signed." Right.

Kofi Kingston; Why is WWE Pushing him so hard?

2009-11-27T22:02:00.001Z

- One of the reasons Kofi Kingston is being pushed hard at the moment is because they feel they need another African-American babyface star and the company has given up on several other wrestlers as reported earlier, that were picked for the spot at one point or another.

Jack Swagger: Has WWE Given Up on his Push

2009-11-26T21:19:00.001Z

According to a source, WWE has "given up" on pushing Jack Swagger to superstardom as he has not quite panned out as officials had initially hoped.

When he first showed up on the WWE scene a little over a year ago, "The All-American American" was pegged as the future of the company due to his tremendous size. Nowadays, he's considered a comedy figure ranked slightly lower than Chavo Guerrero on the RAW pecking order. Furthermore, some feel he's in danger of becoming "this year's Chris Masters."

Wrestlemania XXVI;- Rumours and Possible Spoliers

2009-11-25T19:53:00.000Z

- There is a feeling in WWE that something special needs to be done with The Undertaker for WrestleMania 26. WWE knows that more and more fans are tired of the same old matches and want to deliver a match that fans have not seen before. The Dead Man's health continues to deteriorate and he's less mobile now than he's ever been, so his year as a Wrestlemania draw are certainly winding down. Right now, a match with John Cena is being strongly considered as the main event for WrestleMania.

- There is also talk of a Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels match at WrestleMania 26. The two have wrestled each other many times before, but not in several years and never on the grand stage of WrestleMania. While DX is still one of the top babyface acts in WWE, this one makes sense and WWE may have planted the seed for the match at Survivor Series with HBK superkicking the Game in the opening moments of their triple threat match with John Cena.

- At one point, there had been a plan for a CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio Hair vs. Mask match at WrestleMania 26, but this is unlikely to happen now considering Mysterio's injury problems.

Lauren Mayhew;- Gone from WWE.com

2009-11-24T22:04:00.000Z

Recently Signed ECW In-Ring Announcer and WWE Diva has been removed from the WWE.com website. Does this mean that WWE have already done with the 'Lillian Garcia' Replacement, or have WWE found their ideal replacement and have changed their mind about Lauren Mayhew?

Dolph Ziggler: Are WWE Giving Up on Him?

2009-11-24T21:04:00.000Z

For those keeping track, Dolph Ziggler has taken part in twenty-six Intercontinental title matches at various events (televised and non-televised) within the past few months, losing all but two. He won one match via count-out with another match being ruled a double count-out. Furthermore, he has come up short in retrieving the title on television on seven different occasions including Night of Champions, SummerSlam, Hell in the Cell and four separate episodes of Friday Night SmackDown!.

Ziggler was at one point scheduled to win the title from Rey Mysterio over the summer, but the high-flying Superstar vetoed dropping the title to him on more than one occasion. When push came to shove as a result of a 30-day suspension for violating the company's drug testing policy in early September, Mysterio agreed to drop the title to John Morrison.

Now it appears that the ship has sailed on Ziggler nabbing the gold as WWE officials have reportedly "given up on him."
On a related noted, Ziggler was voted the "Most Deserving of a Title Shot" among his peers in the "Superstar Survey" taken for the latest issue of WWE Magazine.

Raw: Hershey Pa, Results

2009-11-24T19:28:00.001Z

HERSHEY, Pa. - In a city famous for all things chocolate, special guest host, Gov. Jesse Ventura, brought to Raw an appropriate revolutionary new concept: Sweet for some, bitter for others and a little messy when things got too hot to handle.

WWE Champion John Cena and Sheamus signed title match contract; Sheamus attacked Cena

Gov. Jesse Ventura has never been afraid to speak his mind. So, at the conclusion of the contract signing between WWE Champion John Cena and his opponent at the WWE TLC pay-per-view, Sheamus, Ventura admitted that he thought there was a conspiracy at WWE. As the host of Conspiracy Theory, a truTV program that has Ventura hunting for answers to determine the validity of various theories, the WWE Hall of Famer told The Champ that he feels there’s a conspiracy by WWE officials to maintain Cena as the face of the company.

While Ventura went on to say that he hopes Sheamus defeats Cena, The Celtic Warrior attacked the WWE Champion from behind and slammed him through a table. It was then that Ventura declared that the WWE Championship Match at WWE TLC will officially be a Tables Match.

Raw’s special guest host next week will be Verne Troyer
Next week’s Raw promises to be huge, even if the show’s special guest host packs all his manic energy into a less-than-giant frame. Austin Powers alum Verne Troyer will stroll into Baltimore, Md., to take control and show the WWE Universe that big things come in small packages.

Sheamus def. Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, MVP, Mark Henry, R-Truth, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase

With each having earned their spot in the first-ever Breakthrough Battle Royal, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, MVP, Mark Henry, R-Truth, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase each appeared focused on what could prove to many to be the opportunity of their careers. Whichever Superstar emerged victorious would compete in either a WWE or World Heavyweight Championship Match.

As special guest host, Gov. Jesse Ventura, alongside Mr. McMahon, announced the bout, the action inside the ring tumbled along at a frenetic pace. While alliances were utilized, they were also tested. Two Superstars that have showcased an unusually high level of rancor, Kofi and Orton, were at each other's throats almost immediately. Before the end of the match, though, The Dreadlock Dynamo would get the best of The Viper, sending him over the top rope and out of the competition. Kofi had little time to celebrate, however, since, by the end, it was The Celtic Warrior, Sheamus, who would emerge from the pack of hungry Superstars to become the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship.

Legacy def. Cryme Tyme

Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase have always been eager to please. And with their Legacy ring leader, Randy Orton, in the Breakthrough Battle Royal, you can just bet that The Viper loudly emphasized the need to have his henchmen in the ring with him. Well, Randy, mission accomplished. The Legacy duo beat back the challenge of Cryme Tyme to qualify themselves for the night’s main event.

Kane confronted Batista

After “embarrassing” his former best friend, Rey Mysterio, at Survivor Series, Batista informed the WWE Universe that he will stop at nothing to get his hands on The Undertaker’s World Heavyweight Championship. Not so fast. The Deadman’s brother, Kane, then entered the ring and confronted The Animal, begging that Batista try to crush him like he did Rey the night before. The Animal, however, would not take the bait and left the ring.

DX def. The Hart Dynasty;

Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show will defend their titles against DX at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs

Despite practically trying to dismantle one another at Survivor Series in a Triple Threat WWE Title Match, Triple H and Shawn Michaels reestablished their bond, understanding their actions the night before were in the heat of competition. Once they put bygones behind them, they quickly found their groove while facing off against The Hart Dynasty. While Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith looked to be in top shape and gave the DX duo a bit of a scare, the veterans pulled out the victory.

Afterward, Chris Jericho paid the two a visit to discuss he and Big Show defending their Unified Tag Team Titles against the challenge of DX at the upcoming pay-per-view, WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs. After listening to Jericho condescend for a while, DX happily informed the self-important Superstar that their bout will be a TLC Match!

Divas Champion Melina, Mickie James & Kelly Kelly def. Women’s Champion Michelle McCool, Layla & Jillian

Forget everything you learned about Thanksgiving in elementary school. On Raw, the Pilgrims and Native Americans didn’t sit down to a fall feast. Instead, they dressed in sexy outfits and tried to tear each other apart in a Thanksgiving Mayflower Melee Match. Clad in Native American apparel, Divas Champion Melina, Mickie James & Kelly Kelly fought Women’s Champion Michelle McCool, Layla & Jillian. To complete the Thanksgiving theme, the Goobledy Gooker even served as timekeeper.

Once the match got underway, Team Native American was able to best Team Pilgrim when Melina managed to pin Jillian. Always eager to speak with Divas, Jerry “The King” Lawler entered the ring for an interview with the beautiful Latina. And that’s when things took a turn for the weird. The Gobbledy Gooker attacked the Divas Champion from behind. Moments later, it was revealed that the turkey costume was actually stuffed with Maryse!

Primo attacked by The Viper; Randy Orton def. Evan Bourne

Like a spoiled child, Randy Orton simply won’t take “no” for an answer. In a desperate attempt to qualify for the Breakthrough Battle Royal, The Viper attacked Primo as the Boriqua brawler made his way to the ring for his qualifying match against Evan Bourne.

As a result, Primo was unable to compete. After consent by special guest host Gov. Jesse Ventura, it was Orton who battled Bourne. Unfortunately for the aerial artist, The Viper proved too much to handle as he slithered into a qualifying position.

DX being sued by Hornswoggle

Just as Triple H and Shawn Michaels were reciting a list of things for which they’re grateful, the two were interrupted by a lawyer representing Hornswoggle. The attorney informed DX that, after last week’s Pedigree on Hornswoggle, the leprechaun is suing the duo for intentional infliction of emotional distress and will see them in "little people's court" next week.

Mark Henry, MVP & R-Truth def. Jack Swagger, Chris Masters & Chavo Guerrero

As proof that a WWE ring possesses the capacity to support massive amounts of gross tonnage, Mark Henry, MVP & R-Truth climbed into the squared circle to face Jack Swagger, Chris Masters & Chavo Guerrero in a Six-Man Tag Team Match. The contest would determine which three individuals from the winning squad qualify for tonight’s Breakthrough Battle Royal. In the end, R-Truth showed the WWE Universe "what’s up" by pinning The Masterpiece, Chris Masters.

Jesse Ventura and Mr. McMahon to return to announce table

Being Raw’s special guest host has its privileges. As such, Gov. Jesse Ventura welcomed himself into Mr. McMahon’s office to deliver a message: He’s getting the band back together! Well, actually, just the announce team of Ventura & McMahon, which would reunite to call the Breakthrough Battle Royal. The camera time should benefit the charismatic host of truTV’s Conspiracy Theory, which debuts Dec. 2 at 10 p.m.

WWE Champion John Cena def. CM Punk

Raw’s special guest host, Gov. Jesse Ventura, expressed his desire to break free from convention – and tonight he succeeded. He arranged a non-title match between WWE Champion John Cena and a SmackDown Superstar, CM Punk. The preachy pugilist, Punk dropped by Raw just one night after falling shy of clinching victory for Randy Orton and his team at Survivor Series. The Champ, on the other hand, was fresh off a successful title defense against Triple H and Shawn Michaels at the colossal pay-per-view.

The momentum proved too much for Punk to overcome as Cena dug in his heels and managed to triumph over his opponent’s high-energy attack.

Sheamus def. Finlay

The power and peril of Sheamus continues unabated. After channeling his considerable rage at the WWE timekeeper and Jerry “The King” Lawler during the prior Raw, The Celtic Warrior punished fellow Irishman Finlay at Survivor Series, kicking him in the head before pinning him. Tonight, the troubles persisted. Finlay once again found himself on the losing end as Sheamus defeated him and qualified for the Breakthrough Battle Royal.

Kofi Kingston def. Dolph Ziggler

Fresh off his pounding of Randy Orton a week ago and his team captain victory the night before at Survivor Series, Kofi Kingston faced off against Dolph Ziggler in the first-ever Breakthrough Battle Royal Qualifying Match. The wind clearly at Kofi’s back, The Dreadlock Dynamo hit some rough waters but eventually sailed past Ziggler to become the first Superstar to qualify for tonight’s contest.

Special guest host Gov. Jesse Ventura announced Breakthrough Battle Royal

Whether as a WWE Hall of Famer, the Governor of Minnesota or the host of truTV’s upcoming Conspiracy Theory, Jesse Ventura has always proven himself an iconoclast, a man predictable only in his unpredictability.

Ventura hewed close to form when he dropped by Raw to serve as special guest host. Confronted by Randy Orton demanding a WWE Title Match, Ventura informed The Viper that neither he nor anyone who has possessed the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship would be granted title opportunities.

In fact, Ventura devised the first ever Breakthrough Battle Royal, in which a series of bouts would be held between members of Raw and SmackDown who never held a World Title. The winners of these bouts will then participate in the Breakthrough Battle Royal with the winner earning a either a WWE or World Heavyweight Championship Match.

Rey Mysterio: Injured out until Royal Rumble

2009-11-24T19:15:00.000Z

Rey Mysterio's knee is in bad shape and the former World Heavyweight champion will need surgery to repair the situation. The beatdown he suffered at the hands of Batista following their match at Survivor Series was done to set up his time away from the ring.

While there was talk that he'd undergo an extensive surgery to fully repair the ACL, Mysterio is now is said to be considering a less invasive procedure on his ACL that would allow him to return sooner than later.

The more invasive procedure would have kept him out of action for upto 9 months and he would have missed WrestleMania 26. While this other surgery he's considering will allow him to return at the Royal Rumble, he will still need major surgery down the road, likely after he retires.

Mysterio did appear at a scheduled book signing last night in Ridgewood, NJ. The signing drew around 500 fans, and Mysterio was said to not be selling the injury in any way.

Surivior Series: The Results

2009-11-23T20:36:00.002Z

Survivor Series comes from Washington D.C. Where every match has a Last Survivor!!!

WASHINGTON D.C. - When it comes to claiming WWE’s most coveted title, loyalty remains an expense some Superstars simply cannot afford.

While Triple H and Shawn Michaels insisted that competing in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship would do little to sever the deep bond between them, the allure of gold proved too much for the DX cohorts, who quickly turned on one another. As their alliance frayed, WWE Champion John Cena eagerly leveraged his opponents’ betrayal into an intensely fought victory.

Things started out amicably enough. The Game and HBK even greeted the crowd together as DX’s entrance music pervaded the arena. Seconds after the opening bell, however, Michaels unexpectedly lulled his associate to sleep with Sweet Chin Music. With Triple H out cold, HBK and The Champ exchanged strikes.
As any member of the WWE Universe can tell you, though, never count out Triple H. The King of Kings rallied and the three-man clash took on a different, and dangerous, dynamic as the action moved outside the ring. It was there that The Game smashed HBK through the announcers’ table with a spine buster, leaving Triple H to contend with the WWE Champion. While the match nearly ended with several two-counts, in the end a fatigued Cena refused to quit against his equally exhausted rivals and managed to pin Triple H to retain his title.

World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker defeated Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show in a Triple Threat Match, marking another significant victory at the pay-per-view where The Phenom unleashed hell on WWE nearly 20 years ago.

Despite a cohesive onslaught from the Unified Tag Team Champions to start, things broke down when Big Show assaulted his own partner, who had The Deadman locked in the Walls of Jericho.

From that point on, it was a free-for-all for the World Title. During the frenzy, Big Show knocked out Jericho with a brutal right to the head.

In the end, The Deadman reigned supreme by locking Big Show in Hell's Gate, forcing him to submit.

With the victory, The Deadman simultaneously defended his World Title and put the entire SmackDown roster on notice. If The World's Largest Athlete can’t stop him, who can?

When the dark force known as “The Undertaker” debuted at Survivor Series in 1990, no one knew quite what to expect. Fast forward to 2009, and the entire WWE Universe is well aware of what The Phenom is capable of – including an outstanding 17-0 record at WrestleMania! (Undertaker’s WrestleMania Legacy)

Ever since regaining the Heavyweight Title earlier this year at Hell in a Cell (PHOTOS), The Undertaker has showed no signs of letting up. At WWE Bragging Rights, the champion overcame the odds and successfully defended his gold against CM Punk, Batista and Rey Mysterio in a Fatal Four Way Match and tonight at Survivor Series, he beat the odds once again in a Triple Threat Match.

To find out if any Superstar is bold enough to step up and challenge The Phenom, don’t miss the next edition of SmackDown this Friday at 8/7 CT on MyNetworkTV.

Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Matches are always competitive, but rarely are they as closely contested as the epic battle between Team Kingston and Team Orton. Though each of the 10 competitors fought hard, ultimately, it was Team Captain Kofi Kingston himself that carried the day, pinning his nemesis, and last remaining competitor, Randy Orton to win the match for his team.

Team Kingston and Team Orton had a lot going for them heading into their Elimination Tag Team Match, as both squads were comprised of some of the most talented Superstars that SmackDown, Raw and ECW had to offer. Just how evenly-matched the contest was became clear as the night progressed, with each team losing a member one by one until only Kingston was left on his side. Suddenly, however, the situation had swung firmly in his opponents’ favor, as Team Orton boasted two eligible competitors: CM Punk and The Viper himself.

Not one to be deterred by stiff odds, Kingston fought onward against SmackDown’s CM Punk, pinning The Straightedge Superstar after a hard-fought series of near-falls for both competitors. As soon as Punk was vanquished however, Orton was ready to spring into action. Though The Viper might have boasted more in-ring experience than Kingston, the athletic young Superstar showed that he has just what it takes to compete on WWE’s highest level. Leaping into the air and immediately connecting with Trouble in Paradise, the rising star defeated Orton to win the match for his team, pinning two former World Champions in the span of six seconds.

At Survivor Series, Batista unleashed the full extent of his unrelenting fury on his former friend Rey Mysterio, administering a merciless attack that left the official no choice but to stop the match.

Though the high-octane Mysterio showed the WWE Universe every bit of his heart from the opening bell, battling for the offensive with everything he had, the enraged Animal would eventually descend upon his prey with absolute havoc. In the final moments of the match, the fans erupted as Mysterio looked to be heading to a huge victory of redemption with the 619. However, as Mysterio attempted to channel the late Eddie Guerrero with a follow up frog splash, Batista’s raised knees signaled the beginning of a shocking end.

The vicious Animal proceeded to level Mysterio with an earth-shattering spear, a thunderous spinebuster and three devastating Batista Bombs, never once going for a cover. It was clear that he had no interest in simply winning. He wanted Mysterio to be humiliated. Even after the official attempted to end the relentless punishment by signaling for the bell, Batista’s rampage continued with the execution of a post match spinebuster onto an unforgiving steel chair. Mysterio was left in agonizing pain at the hands of a Superstar that once meant everything to him.

Standing side by side, the two former World Champions have won tag team gold, grieved the loss of a “family member”, and forged a powerful bond in numerous squared circle battles. But when both Superstars, along with CM Punk, were selected to challenge World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker at WWE Bragging Rights in a Fatal Four Way Match, the fuse was lit for an explosive parting of ways.

In a match where every Superstar would be for himself, Mysterio stopped Batista from a possible pin over The Deadman. The Undertaker went on to triumph, pinning Batista with a devastating Tombstone. Only seconds later, in a horrific moment that the WWE Universe will never forget, The Animal suddenly snapped, attacking the stunned Master of the 619 with an indescribable assault.

Five days later on SmackDown, Mysterio tried to mend the mighty rip in their heartfelt alliance, but Batista would have none of it. Convinced his closest ally cost him the World Title, the stone-faced Superstar walked out of the ring with more rage in his eyes than ever before.

When SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long made a match between the two former friends at Survivor Series, things went from bad to worse. At the official contract signing, The Animal demanded that Mysterio sign a “Hold Harmless Agreement,” preventing legal action against him for anything he might do to his opponent at the pay-per-view. After reluctantly signing it, The Ultimate Underdog proceeded to humiliate his newfound adversary, flipping the signing table onto him, adding insult to injury as he stepped onto it while making his exit.

Two days before their pay-per-view showdown, after Batista cost Mysterio his match with Tyson Kidd by disqualification, the masked Superstar found an opening to dish out another embarrassing hit-and-run attack on the man he once called a brother. An irate Batista failed to catch Mysterio and was left with nothing but egg on his face for the second week in a row.

Though Mysterio was bound and determined to show Batista a side of him he has never seen before at Survivor Series, in the end, his heart was not enough to overcome the furious bite of The Animal. And now that Batista has released his insane wrath upon a Superstar he once called family, no one on SmackDown is safe.

To the surprise of many in the WWE Universe, United States Champion The Miz, Drew McIntyre, Jack Swagger, Sheamus & Dolph Ziggler were able to put their major egos aside and work together to take down the explosive squad of Intercontinental Champion John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Finlay, Evan Bourne & Shelton Benjamin in the opening bout of Survivor Series.

The match began with Raw rivals Evan Bourne and Jack Swagger squaring off in the center of the ring and quickly turned to chaos from there. Pinfalls quickly piled up as Superstars from each brand clashed, including a showdown between the tough Irishmen Sheamus and Finlay, which The Celtic Warrior won with a devastating front kick.

When the dust began to settle, John Morrison found himself alone and outnumbered against the seriously terrifying triumvirate of The Miz, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. Throwing caution to the wind, The Shaman of Sexy attempted to overcome the odds with his explosive offense, but he simply couldn’t handle three vicious competitors at once. In the end, Morrison was slammed to the mat by The Celtic Warrior and pinned, giving Team Miz the victory.

The Miz has now racked up two consecutive pay-per-view victories over his former tag team partner. Obviously, this does not sit well with The Guru of Greatness and you can expect these two talented young Superstars to meet again.

Mickie James, on one hand, escaped the Verizon Center a searing survivor. The smart, sexy and powerful Diva, on the other hand, left yearning for further retribution.

Captain James, along with her partner and Divas Champion Melina, prevailed in Sunday’s Divas Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match despite Beth Phoenix not accepting her elimination. The Glamazon assaulted Mickie before the official finally forced her to exit.

In the preceding weeks, Beth, along with Layla and team captain and Women’s Champion Michelle McCool, affronted James with vicious insults. The devious trio, in fact, labeled her a “pig,” causing the former four-time Women’s Champ to cry on SmackDown.

Despite it being a bittersweet triumph for the two awesome in-ring performers, Mickie and The Red Carpet Diva demonstrated why they are each top-ranked Divas.

Melina, for one, showed how versatile she can be when she pulled off an incredibly acrobatic sunset flip on Michelle to conclude the match. Mickie, meanwhile, can certainly expect a crack at the Women’s Title at some point soon after her impressive performance, which included eliminating Beth and Alicia.

The two dazzling Divas, nevertheless, will likely employ action against their bullies in the upcoming weeks to get some extra desired revenge.

WWEAdikt, Thinks the complete PPV was a success continuing John Cenas' Winning Streak at Survivor Series was a asterstroke, turning this PPV into The Undertakers Wrestlemania, The Undertaker was the obvious winner in the Heavyweight Championship Match and all of the Traditional Survivor Series Matches were good for the longevity of storylines. The one match that suprised me was the Batista/Rey Mysterio match, I would have thought Rey would win but I think WWE needed to solidify Batistas' Heel Turn.

What do you think? Let WWEAdikt know......

In his latest blog entry, Jim Ross responded to online rumors that he was planning to return to the WWE broadcast team for Wrestlemania 26, commenting:
Read on line where I was returning to WWE at Wrestlemania. This info was attributed to my friend and former broadcast partner Jerry Lawler. I don't know if I confused the King when we last spoke or if he was simply misquoted which is more likely but the story is not accurate. When talking with Jerry about when I was going to return, I mentioned that there was NO time table due to not knowing when the facial nerve on the right side of my face was going to kick start. I mentioned that IF it was going to be close to Wrestlemania that it might be good just to wait and return at WM26. The facial nerve could ignite tomorow...or next week...or 2-4 months from now. No one knows. The last time that I had Bells palsy it hit me in December and I returned to Wrestlemania in late March and broadcast one match, Austin vs. The Rock but I had to hold one side of my face up to speak clearly. This attack isn't as severe as that one in my opinion.

I do feel better other than the facial paralysis and some lingering issues with my right eye but all in all I truly believe that I am improving. I'm also making several life style changes that I think are timely and career enhancing.

My contract negotiations with WWE are still to be finalized but, as I feel in all things regarding my life. I remain confident and positive that those contractual issues will work out to every one's satisfaction.

Report: WWE losing faith in Melina?

2009-11-20T20:42:00.000Z

A report in the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer newsletter suggests that WWE officials are losing faith in Divas Champion, Melina since her move to Raw last month.

It’s easy to see why, considering Melina hasn’t had great showings in the ring since moving to the red brand. Until her move on October 12th, it looked as though Melina was going to have a banner year — perhaps one of the best years for any Diva in recent years. Her work had been at a consistently high level since her return last November and it seems the move to Raw was something of a promotion. Since moving however, she hasn’t had great matches on television [particularly with Jillian] and house show reports haven’t been too favourable either.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson told the Jack Diamond Morning Show in Washington, D.C. that he has a "great relationship" with Vince McMahon and is working closely with WWE to create a special edition of WWE programming.

"I love that world and being able to entertain, especially if I could go back and it's on Smackdown and do a promo or guest host or we could create this cool show, whatever that may be," Johnson said. "Especially now, I'm at the point where I can go back and give back to the fans and help out guys in any way I can...

"Right now, we're trying to put together - there is always something cool and interesting for me to do. I would like to do something more than just host the show. I'm in the process of creating something really cool for the fans - something very special and unique. It will be something like one big entertaining show."

WWE RAW: Live From Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York

2009-11-17T09:01:00.001Z

WWE RAW Results
New York City, New York
November 16, 2009

WWE RAW Opener:

We open with a shot of Roddy Piper in the back. He says he's back and so is the Piper's Pit. He then introduces actor Luiz Guzman who is promoting the new Old Dogs movie starring John Travolta. Piper says that he's aware Guzman is a chef and he has one of the most famous chef's there with them. Iron Sheik comes out instead and does his usual yelling and bitching about Hogan. He has action figures of him and Hogan that he's using to explain his points, too. They are then joined by the Bella Twins and all five of them do the "Live from New York...it's Monday Night Raw" shtick from SNL.

The Miz comes out to the ring. He asks the crowd if they understand that he's the U.S. Champion. He thought they loved champions like the New York Yankees. He then mocks the baseball team by saying they didn't earn their recent world title, they bought it. He says that's why everyone around the world hates the New Yorkers and their sports franchises. He says he didn't have to buy his title..he earned it..and right now, he's going to prove it. Piper apparently told him earlier that he had to defend his title tonight. His opponent? MVP.

UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
The Miz (c) vs MVP

The Miz starts early by unloading a ton of punches before finally being backed off by the ref. It doesn't take long before MVP takes over the offense with a hip toss and a bodyslam. Miz rolls out of the ring to catch his breath, but MVP follows him and gives him a right hand before rolling him back into the ring. While MVP attempts to get back in the ring, Miz kicks him back to the outside and regains control. He rams MVP's head into the ring post, rolls him back in the ring, and gets a two count. Miz applies a headlock, but MVP rallies out of it and then sends Miz flying into the air making him land face first on the mat. A clothesline and he's going "Ballin". He connects and then he tries to hit the Playmaker, but Miz gets out of it. He gets a huge boot of MVP though for his trouble. Miz finally regains control with an elbow. Finish follows with the Skull Crushing Finale and the three count.

WINNER: The Miz Retains

[COMMERCIAL]

Santino Marella vs Chavo Guerrero

Santino has fun with the crowd first by wearing all the New York jerseys. Some got boos, some got cheers. His final two were the Phillies, who got a huge boo, and then the New York Yankees which he ended with before getting the match started. That, of course, got the crowd going. Chavo, glad to get the match started, punched Santino and took early control. He tries to go for the frog splash, but Santino rolls to the other side of the ring. Chavo then goes to the other ring post to attempt the same thing, Santino rolls to the other side. They do that again and the crowd loves it as they start a "Santino" chant. Hornswoggle comes out (in the D-X get up again) and Santino steals the victory with a roll-up.

WINNER: Santino Marella

After The Match: Hornswoggle rolls under the ring as Chavo is looking under there. D-X's music hits and Shawn and Hunter come out to the ring. They throw out their glowsticks like regular and each take a mic. No sign of Chavo anymore. Hunter hypes the crowd and talks about how MSG is the most famous arena in the world. He goes on saying that they wanted to come out and have fun, sell some merchandise, etc..but unfortunately, it's not going to happen. Shawn says it's true. They aren't going to come out and let people know that their book is available on WWEShop.com. They joke about the book some more and then Hunter says what they are really going to talk about is the big fat elephant in the room.

This Sunday, they have the triple threat match. Cena gets quite a bit of boos from the crowd when his name is mentioned. He says him and Shawn are on the same page and are not going to turn on each other. They've come to terms that only one of them can be Champion and they don't care which one as long as the title comes to D-X. Shawn adds that the two of them "will" compete at the pay per view, but the fact is you can't tear D-X apart. He then moves on to Hornswoggle. They know he's under the ring and that he refuses to quit wearing their merchandise. They ask him to come out and they'd consider making him a member of D-X.

Hornswoggle comes out from under the ring, joins them, and starts with some crotch chops. Hunter finally stops him and asks if he wants to be apart of D-X. He shakes his head "yes" and Hunter starts his "Are you ready..." spill. On the final line..."Let's get ready to...", Hunter turns and kicks Hornswoggle in the gut and delivers a Pedigree. The crowd boos a lot after this, but when Shawn gives them their cue to sell "Suck It", they still do. They then get a "little" stretcher out with the D-X logo on it. They place Hornswoggle on it and carry him to the back.

[COMMERCIAL]

We're back and Cole and Lawler put over the history of the WWE/MSG relationship. They air a video recap of the significance of the Garden and its past with the organization.

We see Roddy Piper in the back and he's met by Chris Jericho. Jericho says that he's still not getting any respect by the guest hosts. Piper says he wouldn't want to disrespect him and he's got something special for him. He brings in Chris Masters and has him repeat the titty shaking again. Jericho is grossed out, but the Bella Twins love it and they take Masters away. Piper then walks away after slapping Jericho's chest with the hand he just blew his nose with..

We see Melina and Alicia Fox separately walking toward the ring and their Diva's title match is next.

[COMMERCIAL]

DIVA'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Melina (c) versus Alicia Fox

Judah Friedlander from "30 Rock" comes out as the special guest ring announcer and introduces Melina and Fox. The two come out and Alicia tells Friedlander to announce her as the "next Diva's Champion". He says he can't do that because he came to Raw for two reasons. One, to watch Melina's entrance. And two, to announce that this Diva's Championship match is now a lumberjill match. All the diva's come out and surround the ring and we're underway.

A lot of quick action and reversals in the beginning until Fox throws Melina outside for her to get beat up a little bit by the lumberjills. When she gets back in the ring, Fox goes for a pin attempt but only gets two. Melina regains offense after a facebuster and a couple of clotheslines. Fox hits a tiltawhirl backbreaker, but only gets two. Shortly after, Melina finds reverses a move and jumps on Fox's back and does her crazy looking sit-down powerbomb moves and gets the win.

WINNER: Melina Retains

After The Match: All the girls come in and go at it, but Mickie James' team comes out on top and celebrates with Friedlander.

SEGMENT: Roddy Piper Challenges Vince McMahon to a Match

Following the break, Raw guest host Roddy Piper comes out to the ring. He puts over the Garden and the New York fans. He jokes about the camera being too close and he tells the camera man to stand back or he'd kick him in the slacks. Funny. He continues putting over New York and MSG. He talks about embarassing Cyndi Laupe after the "embarassed himself". He then puts over other legends he wrestled right there in the Garden. He said that's proof that you're either bald or dead if you're messing with Rowdy Roddy Piper. He says he can say that because they know he loves them...well, the dead ones do. He's the reason Hulk Hogan has no hair.

He continues by saying he has done some bad things, but he has one more thing to do before he checks out like the rest of them. He says he wants one more match with Vincent Kennedy McMahon! He knows McMahon is a big fan of his because when he did Real Sports w/ Bryant Gumbel, Vince fired him right afterward right there in MSG. He says he knows Vince is in the building and sure enough, the Chairman makes his way out to the ring.

Vince makes fun of Roddy Piper's dye job on his hair. Vince agrees that Piper has done some horrible things in the Garden, but the worst thing he's ever done is show up. He says Mother Nature hasn't been too kind to Piper. Vince continues to make fun of Piper's run-down appearance. He then says the only thing that hasn't dried up and withered away is his kilt. If he were to fight Piper, his forefathers would be ashamed of him. Piper says that there's plenty of other things people are ashamed of Vince for and the two continue keep going back and forth. Vince says he looks better and has beaten all of the people he stepped in the ring with, including Austin, Rock, Triple H, etc. and unless there's better competition out there, he's officially retiring from ring action.

Piper says he's done playing games and calls Vince a coward. He says he's not sane and that's what Vince needs to be afraid of. He's beaten cancer and he can beat Vince. He doesn't want the match at a WrestleMania or a pay per view. He wants the match in front of the people who made Vince a billionaire. He says he'll be here later and challenges McMahon to be there too. Piper leaves and McMahon starts talking, but they cut to promoting the main event triple threat match. Not sure what happened, but we cut to a break.

[COMMERCIAL]

SEGMENT: Sheamus Challenges Anyone From The Back, Attacks Lawler

Sheamus comes out, gets on the mic and says that he's challenging anyone in the back to come out and face him because he wants to make another impact. No one comes right away and Sheamus gets out of the ring and hands the mic to announcer Justin Roberts. He then starts choking out another WWE employee and knees him in the stomach. He slides him across the announce table and throws him off the other side. Jerry Lawler then comes from behind the table and before he can say anything, Sheamus delivers a huge boot to his face. No one ever comes out to challenge him though, so he leaves and head to the back.

[COMMERCIAL]

We're back and Matt Striker has taken Lawler's place at the announce table and the two run down Survivor Series.

Evan Bourne vs Jack Swagger

We're back and Swagger has control with a bearhug. Bourne fights his way out, but Swagger hits a big clothesline from behind to stay on the offense. He tries a suplex, but Swagger knees out of it and tries a quick roll up, but only gets two. Bourne hits a dropkick, charges Swagger in the corner, but two reversals and Bourne goes up top and hits the flying knees. He tries a moonsault off the other ring post, but Swagger catches him and rams him into the other corner. He then delivers the powerbomb and gets the three count.

WINNER: Jack Swagger

We cut to Roddy Piper walking to the ring in the back and that potential street fight between him and Vince McMahon is next.

[COMMERCIAL]

SEGMENT: Orton Accepts Piper's Challenge, Kofi/Orton Fight

We're back and Piper's in the ring waiting for Vince. He asks for the microphone, but before he can say anything, Randy Orton comes out. Orton says he doesn't know if McMahon is coming out or not, but he does know that Piper has a big problem..because he's here. He says putting Piper down would relieve his stress, so if it's a fight that he wants, well...and a big boot to Piper's gut. Piper tries calling for a time-out as he raises to his feet. He then throws a cheap shot punch to Orton's face, but the offense didn't last long as Orton goes crazy with punches and kicks.

Orton's about to go for a big kick to Piper's head, but he's cut off by Kofi Kingston's music (it looked like the music started too late, by the way). The two of them fight their way out of the ring and Kofi throws Orton over the gaurdrail and they take it into the crowd. Kofi jumps on Orton in the middle of the crowd and starts nailing him with punches. Orton fights back and the two go back and forth. They come back to the ring area and Orton takes the offense. He rams Kofi's head into the steel steps. They go back in the ring and Orton slingshots Kofi's neck into the bottom rope.

Orton attempts the punt to the head, but Kofi counters with a crossbody. They go back outside and Kofi rams Orton into the guardrail before throwing him back over the guardrail again. This time, they are in an open space next to the crowd. The two keep going back and forth as referees finally come out and try to stop the action. Each of them keep breaking free though a couple of times and jumping the other again. Orton tries to crawl away begging for mercy, but Kofi doesn't hold back. Kofi throws Orton off one level of the stands to a lower one in what looks like a technical production area. He takes a lid to one of the production cases and nails Orton in the head with it.

Kofi continues his beatdown while the crowd starts a big "Kofi" chant. Kofi then goes back to the higher level and is planning on jumping on to Orton while he's motionless on a table below. However, the refs drag him off of the rail. He escapes and goes back up anyway, leaps off and nails a HIGH double legdrop. One hell of a spot. We cut to break as Kofi being held back by refs (finally) looks over the lifeless body of Orton.

Main event is next...

[COMMERCIAL]

John Cena is in the back following the break talking about tonight making history with the main event. While he's talking about the triple threat match at Survivor Series being a handicap match, he is interrupted by some employee with a message on a note. Cena asks if he's sure it's real. They say yes and apparently the note just said something about it not being a handicap match. Rather, it's a triple threat match. Confusing (to me anyway)...

As JeriShow makes their way to the ring, we cut to our last break.

[COMMERCIAL]

MAIN EVENT: D-X vs JeriShow vs Undertaker & John Cena

A quick aside, the Undertaker went retro with his entrance including drones lining up with fire down the sides of the entrance way. Very cool. Jericho, Cena, and HBK start the match. Rules are that you can only tag your partner. Jericho quickly tags in Big Show. That prompts HBK to tag in Triple H. And yes, John Cena tagged in Undertaker. The three "big men" come to the middle. Hunter and Taker stare each other down before turning their attention to Big Show. They double team him until Undertaker clotheslines him out of the ring. He then catches Hunter off guard with a clothesline.

Hunter reverses an irish whip and hits a huge spinebuster on Undertaker. Shawn asks for the tag and him and the Undertaker come face to face. The Ric Flair slaps to the chest from Michaels to Taker. Undertaker throws Shawn over the top rope, but Shawn keeps hold of the top rope and tries pulling himself back into the ring. Undertaker catches him but Big Show takes them both by surprise from behind. Show tags in Jericho and he quickly applies the Walls of Jericho on Shawn. Taker grabs Jericho's throat and Cena tags himself in. He then delivers a running bulldog to Jericho before Shawn attacks him from behind. Hunter gets tagged in and him and Cena double team Jericho before they finally start going at it. Big Show cuts them short though with a double chokeslam

Undertaker then comes in and takes Big Show outside of the ring. Big Show reverses a whip and rams Undertaker into the guardrail. Back in the ring, Jericho tries to go for a cover on Cena, but a kick out at two. Hunter makes the hot tag to HBK and he comes in firing at Jericho. Knee drop, bodyslam, and the big elbow. He starts tuning up the band, goes for Cena, but Cena ducks and takes over the offense with a side slam. He does the Five Knuckle Shuffle and then takes HBK up on his shoulder for the Attitude Adjustment. While HBK is on Cena's shoulders, Hunter tags himself in and takes control.

Hunter hits a spinebuster on Cena and attempts the Pedigree, but Big Show interupts with a huge headbutt. Shawn then hits Show with the Sweet Chin Music. Jericho a Codebreaker on HBK. Undertaker a HUGE chokeslam on Jericho. Hunter then clotheslines Undertaker over the top rope. Cena nails the Attitude Adjustment on Hunter and gets the three count.

WINNERS: John Cena and The Undertaker

After The Match: Undertaker hits a Tombstone Piledriver on Cena and Raw goes off the air with the dark arena, Undertaker on one knee, and everyone left out cold around him

BREAKING NEWS:- Shane McMahon meets with UFC?

2009-11-16T12:15:00.001Z

Dave Meltzer broke the news tonight that Shane McMahon had a meeting recently with Dana White at the UFC offices. White refused to comment when asked about Shane this weekend while promoting UFC 105 in England.

Depending on how this plays out this is potentially one of the biggest stories of the decade. The only thing certain right now is that only a handful of people know what took place in that meeting and none of them will be talking about it.

ECW Report: Sheffield, England - Tuesday 10th November

2009-11-11T10:21:00.001Z

RESULTS

SHEFFIELD, England – In one of the toughest matches of his ECW career, Christian defeated William Regal in his native country to retain the ECW Championship. It was the rivals’ fairest fight to date, as Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov were banned from ringside, allowing Captain Charisma to prevail over The British Brawler.

ECW Champion Christian def. William Regal in a Title Match
William Regal finally had his wish granted last week by ECW General Manager Tiffany – a title match against Christian. It was a match Regal wanted and obsessed about for months, and Regal’s terms were agreed upon by Christian – with Captain Charisma allowing The British Brawler to contend for the ECW Championship in his homeland, England.
However, with Regal’s Ruthless Roundtable banned from ringside, the odds were stacked fairly for both competitors. This time, Christian and Regal finally met again, one-on-one without distractions or assistance from other Superstars, and it was the ECW Champion who truly triumphed. After breaking out of the Regal Stretch and hitting The British Brawler with a devastating Killswitch, Christian pinned his foe for the hard-fought, monumental victory to retain the ECW Championship.
Is the end of the rivalry between Christian and Regal? Has Christian finally proven he’s the ECW Superstar most-deserving to wear the Extreme gold? Or will Regal try again to capture the ECW Championship? And if so, how will Tiffany react?

Goldust def. Paul Burchill
With his sister, Katie Lea, in his corner, Paul Burchill faced Goldust this week on ECW on Syfy, but The Ripper’s rival, The Hurricane, distracted him during the match. The masked Superstar’s interruption allowed Goldust to capitalize on the situation, hit Burchill with a Final Cut and pin him for the victory, giving The Hurricane the last laugh before his critical match against Burchill next week.

Burchill is determined to prove to the WWE Universe that The Hurricane and Gregory Helms are the same person. Next Tuesday, if The Ripper wins, The Hurricane must unmask in front of the WWE Universe, revealing his true identity. But if The Hurricane wins, the Burchills must leave ECW for good. Who will prevail in this monumental Mask vs. Career Match? Watch ECW on Syfy Tuesday night at 10/9 CT.

The Abraham Washington Show with Yoshi Tatsu
Could it be? An Abraham Washington Show that didn’t erupt into a brawl? It seems taking the critically-acclaimed, late-night talk show international was the trick. This week’s episode from the Sheffield Arena, featuring Japanese Superstar Yoshi Tatsu, featured plenty of laughs from WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas and ended on a somewhat peaceful note, although Abraham Washington wasn’t too pleased when Tatsu stole the show.

Vance Archer def. local competitor
Tuesday night’s newest Superstar, Vance Archer, earned his second victory in as many weeks on ECW on Syfy. To the WWE Universe who doesn’t know much about Archer, he offered this: “Who is Vance Archer? My opponent is about to find out.” With another domineering win over a local competitor, the confident Archer is quickly making a name for himself in the Land of the Extreme with a 2-0 record. How will this newcomer make an impact on ECW on Syfy? Who will dare to enter the ring to face Archer next?

Zack Ryder and Rosa Mendes meet again
While many think the beautiful and enchanting Rosa Mendes distracted Zack Ryder last week, leading to his loss to Shelton Benjamin, the Long Island, N.Y., Superstar told the Diva he’d welcome her to his corner of the ring anytime. On this week’s “WWE Superstars,” Ryder will meet Benjamin again. Will Rosa return to ringside, and if so, will her presence help or hinder Ryder’s game?

Jamie Noble: Retires

2009-11-10T17:27:00.004Z

Early Tuesday morning, WWE.com was contacted by Jamie Noble, who revealed his decision to conclude a seven-year career as a WWE Superstar and retire from the squared circle.

This regrettable announcement came hours after Noble was released from the medical facility where he sought treatment for injuries sustained at the hands of Sheamus one week ago on Raw and after years of nagging shoulder and neck injuries.

"Luckily, the doctors tell me I'm going to recover again," Noble told WWE.com in an article published earlier this week. "But I'm laying here thinkin' about how great my life is with my wife and my son. I'm thinkin', how many more times am I gonna be lucky enough to walk out of the hospital on my own? I'm thinkin' it might be time to hang up my tights and boots." (Full Article Here)

WWEAdikt wishes Jamie Noble all the best in his recovery and his career outside the ring.

SHEFFIELD, England – Raw’s special guest host, boxing great Ricky Hatton, knows how to pack the kind of wallop that brings a crowd to their feet, and the Englishman did just that by overseeing a powerful Raw that even saw World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker make an appearance.

DX def. Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show in a Non-Title Match; WWE Champion John Cena & World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker will team up next week
Two weeks before Survivor Series, Triple H & Shawn Michaels offered WWE Champion John Cena a preview of what awaits him in that trio’s Triple Threat Match. The DX duo faced down Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show, who themselves will combat World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker in their own battle of three.
With The Champ looking on from the announcer’s table, the teams punished one another until The World’s Largest Athlete attempted to seal Michaels’ fate. As HBK fended off an attack from Jericho, Show illegally charged him. When Show attempted to land a knock out punch on Michaels, though, he accidentally connected with his partner, allowing HBK to score the pin.
While the turn of events was unforeseen, the biggest surprise came after the match. The WWE Champion revealed that next week’s Raw will include a Triple Threat Tag Team Match involving three teams: DX, Jeri-Show and … John Cena & The Undertaker! Each of the teams appeared as stunned as the WWE Universe as the World Heavyweight Champion slowly and deliberately walked down the entrance ramp, eyeing his opponents.

“Rowdy” Roddy Piper will be Raw’s special guest host next week
When Raw rolls into Madison Square Garden next week, the week’s special guest host will be a man familiar with the energy and history contained within the World’s Most Famous Arena: WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper.

Ricky Hatton def. Chavo Guerrero
Maybe Chavo Guerrero has been wearing his bandana too tight lately. How else to explain why he would face down Ricky Hatton in a “Boxer vs. Wrestler” Match? As a two-time IBF welterweight champion and former unified light welterweight champion, Hatton bided his time, avoiding Chavo’s clutch and waiting for just the right moment. That moment arrived several minutes into the bout when Hatton escaped from a waist lock and landed a devastating right hook to Chavo’s face to put him down for the count.

Randy Orton def. Mark Henry
A slap at the hand of Kofi Kingston may have been all the incentive Randy Orton needed in his match against Mark Henry. The former WWE Champion battled The World’s Strongest Man in a match that saw both Superstars on the verge of victory. In the end, The Viper struck Henry and pinned him for the three-count.
Never one to swallow his pride easily, Orton ambushed Kingston as he attended to Henry. The Viper returned a slap he’d received earlier, but Kingston quickly returned fire before Orton could dart outside the ring.

Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase confronted Kofi Kingston, MVP & Mark Henry in the VIP Lounge
Montel Vontavious Porter, with Mark Henry at his side, welcomed the captain of their Survivor Series team, Kofi Kingston, to his VIP Lounge. The three toasted Kingston’s fortitude in standing up to Randy Orton over the past several weeks.
Not surprisingly, The Viper took issue. As captain of the opposing Survivor Series team, Orton, with Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase in tow, confronted Kingston and his pals. After The Viper offended the trio, Kingston had heard enough. He slapped Orton across the face and showed that he’s not about to be bullied.

Evan Bourne def. Jack Swagger
It looks like Jack Swagger bit off more than he could chew, which is saying a lot for a guy with a mouth as big as his. Earlier this year, “The All-American American” promised he would remain undefeated for remainder of 2009. Swagger didn’t count on the high-flying determination of his Evan Bourne. The two-time collegiate All-American may have been trying to win over his Survivor Series team captain, The Miz, who watched the bout from ringside, but he only succeeded in losing the match, along with his dignity.

Sheamus def. A local competitor
The English and their Irish neighbors share a complicated history of aggression and brutality dating back centuries. In that sense, Sheamus, a proud Irishman, proved himself a staunch traditionalist. One week after punishing Jamie Noble, The Celtic Warrior stomped into England and destroyed one of their own, a local Sheffield wrestler, but not before bragging to the assembled masses that his brutality had effectively ended Noble’s career. Sheamus has proven so impressive since his Raw debut two weeks ago, in fact, that United States Champion The Miz recruited him for his team during the Survivor Series Traditional Elimination Tag Team Match.

Alicia Fox def. Kelly Kelly
Accompanied to the ring by Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly hoped to make amends for coming up just shy in the Diva Battle Royal last week. To accomplish this, she would face the Diva who won the match and the right to face Divas Champion Melina, Alicia Fox. Unfortunately for Kelly Kelly, Alicia continued her winning ways and will compete for the Butterfly gold next week in Madison Square Garden.

Jim Ross Update: WWE Channel, Grisham&Striker & his Health

2009-11-09T10:10:00.000Z

WWE Hall OF Famer updated his JRSBar.q.com. Here are a few highlights:

-As I wrote earlier in the week, the potential of a WWE Channel is another positive. There are virtually unlimited ways to create new programming notwithstanding the Legends Roundtables, watching DVD releases w/ the talents involved with the production, daily blocks of World Class, AWA, ect has credence. Producing internet “radio shows” along the line of ESPN’s Mike and MIke, etc would work. Producing a specfic number of hours of daily programming and then repeating it seems doable. The potential is really limitless

-Grisham and Striker are beginning to mesh as a solid broadcast duo and their efforts will continue to be a work in progress which is to be expected. I like their potential. Their progress may see yours truly assume another role TBD upon my return which works for me. I feel that I’m fortune to be able to help the team in a variety of ways. All of that is up in the air and is pure speculation until I’ve been medically cleared. Maybe there is a there man booth in my future especially on selected PPV’s. Who knows but I for one am not concerned. Just anxious to get back in the game.

-My headaches are lessening in frequency but issues w/ my right eye persists and my tongue is still numb. Bells palsy just takes time and patience to heal. I’m not long on the patience aspect of that formula. Watching me eat hot soup is, admittedly, entertaining.

As always an great read, click here.

Injury Update:- Edge

2009-11-02T14:57:00.001Z

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that there is internal concern within WWE that Edge is not recovering as well as he could be from the Achilles heel tendon injury he received months ago. The belief heading into the rehabilitation period for Edge was that he would be well enough to return to the ring in time for WrestleMania 26, but that does not appear to be a lock at this point. Edge has pointed out in several interviews that this injury has been the most severe for him and the most difficult to recover from in his entire career.

BREAKING NEWS: Former WWE Diva announces Pregnancy

2009-11-01T20:47:00.000Z

Former WWE Diva, Candice Michelle has announced that she is pregnant! Writing on her official website, Candice reveals:

I am very excited to be entering a new chapter in my life. I am Pregnant! Smile and a wink ! My due date is in May! I was so excited when I found out I wanted to tell everyone and its been so hard for me to hold it in. However, I wanted to be the one to share the news with everyone and not have it be a rumor since it is so dear to my heart!

I will be out of the ring for a bit but like I always tell everyone, Never say Never! I will have some other things coming up that I will keep you all posted on!

I feel so blessed beyond belief to have this miracle growing inside of me! Thanks for all the love and support, I cant wait to share this journey with you!

Congratulations to Candice and her husband, Ken! All I can say is… I knew it! I distinctly remember telling Erin that Candice looked pregnant [and I would know!] in the photo she posted on Twitter a couple of weeks ago from that convention with Christy Hemme & Lilian Garcia. However, we opted not to post anything for fear of delving into Perez Hilton-esque speculation, that most certainly isn’t our style. Congrats once again!

Update: Jim Ross on Health and More

2009-10-30T20:43:00.000Z

Jim Ross has a new blog entry up at JrsBarBQ.com, here are the highlights…
On His health: We got some medical tests back this morning which eliminated me having MS which was a relief. We had been waiting on that news for over a week. We have more tests scheduled next week as the process is essentially trying to eliminate issues that I might have but likely don't. The waiting process gets a little stressful and my wife is a Saint for putting up with my orneriness as patience isn't a virtue for yours truly.

On WWE Moving On Without Him: One concerned emailer to this site responded to my last blog with the fact that WWE has "moved on without me." The way I see it, WWE had to move on without me, for now, as they have shows to do and I am unable to carry my share of the water. If the new broadcast teams click and I am not needed on a weekly basis then, poor me, I will find other projects on which to work. Yeah, getting off the road 51 weeks a year would be a real heart breaker. I'm partially joking here but until I get healthy WWE has to move forward without me and get their work done. I am pulling for Todd Grisham and Matt Striker to light it up on Friday night's.

On Brock Lesnar: Did you know that Paul Heyman "consults" Brock Lesnar on selected projects? Strategic move by Brock who doesn't like to deal with matters of this sort. I hope the UFC Champion gets well soon and enjoys the holidays while preparing for his next fight tentatively scheduled for January 2010. If I'm still on IR, or whatever, I might try and make that one in Vegas.

On Lance Cade: Good to see Lance Cade regroup and get back with WWE. Cade has size, athletic ability and the potential to be a really top hand and I hope that he makes it. Many of us have received second chances, or more, in our lives and I am a strong believer that second chances are a good thing. I hope that Lance realizes his dreams of becoming a main event level, WWE star and on a personal level I would love to see Cade in an issue with his mentor Shawn Michaels down the road.

BREAKING NEWS: Ricky Hatton to host Monday Night Raw in Sheffied

2009-10-29T22:52:00.000Z

RICKY HATTON will be the special guest host of Raw when the WWE hits the Sheffield Arena next month.

Officials from the wrestling promotion told WWEAdikt the British boxing legend will head up the show when Raw rolls into South Yorkshire on November 9.

The Hitman will become the second boxer to appear on the programme after his old foe Floyd Mayweather Jr performed an identical role in August.

It is understood WWE owner Vince McMahon wanted a Brit with a big enough profile in the United States to host the company's flagship offering.

Manchester-born Hatton fits the bill perfectly, with his fights against Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao generating huge pay-per-view numbers in the States in recent years

Courtney Taylor Update: WWE Removes Profile

2009-10-29T08:47:00.000Z

ECW Diva for all of three weeks, Courtney Taylor’s WWE.com profile page has been removed.
Taylor took time off from WWE just as she was called up to the main roster and thus, lost her backstage interviewer spot to Savannah aka Angela Fong.

Fans of Courtney — real name Beverly Mullins — shouldn’t be in a hurry to rush to conclusions though, as it’s likely that because Savannah was called up in her spot, she has been moved back down to FCW. Taylor has been working FCW shows in the past month or so and is also a big favourite of John Lauirinaitis, WWE’s VP of Talent Relations.

If my theory is correct, more fool her. Not the best time to take a break and she’s found herself back at square one as a result. Courtney did a good job in the few weeks that she was present, she had a better first outing than Maria or Eve, who are now hugely popular. I think it just shows the downside of hiring ‘models’ who don’t necessarily ‘want it’ as much as ‘wrestlers’… but that’s a big ole can of worms that I won’t open today.

WWE New Talent: Scouting New 3rd Generation Diva

2009-10-29T08:44:00.000Z

Following in the footsteps of Lacey Von Erich (didn’t work) and Natalya (worked out), WWE is reportedly scouting another third-generation female – Amy Hennig, daughter of the late ‘Mr Perfect’ Curt Hennig.

Amy has been wrestling since March 2008 under pro wrestling legend Harley Race, and according to Wrestling Observer, could wind up in FCW soon. Brother Joe Hennig is already in developmental.

The website also notes that Hennig is a ‘dead ringer’ for current Diva, Beth Phoenix and has mannerisms that are uncannily like her father.

What do you think? Will she follow Natalya’s success or stumble like Lacey?

He says Batista is like his big brother and he’s willing to let bygones be bygones, that if he had known being in the match was going to interfere with their friendship, he would have never been in the match.

Survivor Series WWE Championship Triple Threat Match

Triple H vs. John Cena (c) vs. Shawn Michaels

WWE Raw: Sheamus Traded, Shelton Benjamin

2009-10-27T09:15:00.000Z

As announced on Monday Night Raw last night, Sheamus was Traded to Raw, this now makes him the Newest member of the Raw Roster.

I am Personally perplexed by this move, Don't get me wrong he is one of the biggest talents that has come out of FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling) since Jack Swagger but he was building a nice fued with Shelton Benjamin on ECW who according to sources was going to turn babyface soon.

On the other hand, Shelton Benjamin has been pushed from pillar to post recently from Smackdown back to ECW, I think he needs a ECW Championship Title shot against Christian because he has it all, the physical presence in the Ring, the mic skills and everything to become the Next ECW Champion.

WWE Raw: The Next Guest Hosts Revealed!

2009-10-27T09:07:00.000Z

Report By: www.wweadikt.blogspot.com

WWE RAW Opener:

We open with a recap video of the "Bragging Rights" pay per view last night.
Chris Jericho and Big Show (JeriShow) open tonight's show as they hit the ring with the trophy Jericho's Team Smackdown won last night due to Big Show turning on the Raw group. Show starts by saying that despite what he did last night, he's still a proud member of the Raw roster. Jericho interupts him by saying he doesn't have to explain. Jericho says that Show did what he did because he's a man of loyalty to him and that supersedes his loyalty to Raw. Big Show says there's something he needs to tell him, but Jericho says there's something also he needs to say. He thanks Big Show for stopping D-X and punching Triple H. He gives him kudos.
Big Show continues by saying "thanks", but he should really let him talk because he needs to tell him something. Jericho interupts him again and says that he knows what he's going to say. It's that Smackdown would have won regardless because Jericho was the captain. However, Show says that what he did at the ppv was for himself. He talked with Theodore Long and cut a deal for him to be the next opponent for The Undertakers title. He and Jericho start arguing and they are cut off by a picture on the big screen of Raw's guest hosts tonight, Nascar's Kyle Bush and Joey Logano, who are doing donuts in the parking lot. They then enter the arena in their race cars. They come and enter the ring.

Kyle gets on the microphone and says that's how you make an entrance and says they're happy to be here. He then directs Big Show and says that what he did last night wasn't approved by the fans. He says he's with him though because he's a man's man and things happen for a reason. He congratulates him and shakes his hand. Logano says that he's not going to shake his hand though because what he did is weak. Show tells Busch that he needs to tell his friend to learn some respect. Busch agrees and calls his friend "young and dumb" and doesn't know anything about championships. He then insults the Buffalo crowd by saying that they haven't made it to the Playoff's since Hulkamania (NFL).

Logano gets back on the mic and makes a match between Big Show and Triple H. Jericho tells him good luck and asks the hosts if they've ever seen anything like the trophy he's holding. He then suggests that they go to the back so he can tell him how he single-handedly won it. Busch tells him to hold on because Joey isn't the only one who can make matches. He says Jericho will be facing Kofi "Johnson"...although he quickly corrects himself and says Kingston...then repeats the name a couple of times to make sure we all know that he did in fact know his name.

Kofi's music hits and that match is next.

Chris Jericho vs Kofi Kingston

We're back and the match is just now getting underway. They lock up and Kofi pushes Jericho up against the ropes, but Jericho quickly goes outside to walk around a little bit. He gets back in and Kofi again takes him back up against the ropes, but the ref breaks it up. He then charges Jericho, but Jericho takes advantage with a kick to the gut. He then throws Kofi into the corner, charges, but Kofi counters with a kick. Kofi hits a big dropkick and goes for a pin, but Jericho kicks out.
Kofi begins to work over Jericho's left arm with a couple of knees. He goes for another cover, but only gets a two count. Jericho regains the offense advantage and starts working over Kofi with punches and kicks, followed by a headlock. Kofi works his way back to his feet, throws Jericho off the ropes, but is hit by a shoulder block. Jericho then runs the ropes, but is hit with a leg kick that makes Jericho roll to the outside. Kofi leaps through the ropes and hits him with a shoulder while he's on the outside.
They make their way back to the ring and while Kofi is delivering punches in the corner, Jericho throws him off onto his back. The ref starts a 10 count on Kofi and makes it to 6 or so before Kingston gets up on the apron. Jericho does his usual dropkick sequence and nails it sending Kofi to the outside mat. This takes us to a break.

COMMERCIAL

We're back and Jericho is in control. He applies a headlock again. Kofi starts working his way out of the headlock with a couple of punches...goes off the ropes and Jericho tries for a knee, but Kofi reverses into a roll-up for a two count. Jericho quickly follows with a pin of his own that only gets two. Chris starts taunting Kofi, but is met with more punches as Kofi tries to gain momentum. Jericho attempts a running bulldog, but Kofi counters and sends Jericho into the corner. Kofi hits the Boom Drop and then Jericho tries the Walls of Jericho quickly after. Kofi counters.
After a series of exchanges, Kofi goes to the top rope, but is met with a punch from Jericho. Jericho attempts a superplex from the top, but Kofi counters and throws Jericho off face first. He does a cross-body, but Jericho counters into a pin for a two count. Kofi goes for the "Trouble In Paradise", but Jericho counters and tries to put the Walls of Jericho back on. Kofi counters again into a pin for a two count. Jericho then hits the "Code Breaker", but takes too long to pin him and Kofi kicks out at two. Chris then argues with the referee and as he turns around, he's met with the "Trouble In Paradise". He covers and gets the three count!

WINNER: Kofi Kingston

After The Match: While Kofi is walking up the entrance way making his way to the back, Orton comes out and attacks him and sends him off the ramp head first into the stage. A "Cena" chant breaks out as Orton just stands at the top of the ramp with a smug look on his face. The announces then promo the match between Triple H and Big Show, plus they put over John Cena being at Raw. We'll be hearing from him later.

COMMERCIAL

We're back and Todd Grisham catches up with Randy Orton in the back. He asks why he attacked Kofi and he said it was not an attack, it was justice since Kofi interfered in his match. Todd leaves and Legacy joins him and says he was robbed last night. They say they have a gift for him - a token of their appreciation for all he's done for them. They reveal a race car underneath a tarp that has a picture of Orton on the hood. He says it's incredible. They say they have another surprise for Orton too regarding Cena. They say it's just a matter of time until the title comes back to Legacy. They leave and Orton stays there admiring his new car.
We then cut to the Raw guest hosts in the back with Eve. Jack Swagger then comes and introduces himself saying that the three of them have a lot in common - they're all winners. They ask what he wants and he says that he wants John Cena in the match for the Championship. They say they don't know if they can swing that since he was in a 60-minute match last night. They did say that they'd be picking his next opponent though tonight. The Miz then interupts and says he deserves to be the next opponent for Cena at Survivor Series. Miz got a good reaction from the crowd it seemed.

We cut to Santino and Melina making their way to the ring for a mixed tag that is next.

We come back with a promo pushing Sheamus' debut tonight on Raw.

Melina/Santino Marella vs Jillian/Chavo Guerrero

The bell sounds and we're starting off with the men. Chavo taunts Santino and slaps him, but Santino punches him and lands a back bodydrop. He then hits an elbow, but misses an elbow drop which allows Chavo to take over with punches and kicks. Jillian takes a cheap shot on Santino while he's there in the corner. Chavo goes for a pin, but a kick out. He continues with kicks, but misses a clothesline and Santino hits a hip toss. Chavo takes Jillian in and she slaps Santino. He tags Melina in and she does a pretty cool reversal, but Jillian lands a huge clothesline. Hornswoggle comes out and distracts Jillian and Chavo and it allows Melina to hit her leg drop finisher thing and get the three count. Sloppy finishing sequence by the ladies.

WINNERS: Melina and Santino Marella

After The Match: The two of them and Hornswoggle dance and celebrate in the ring until a man in a suit comes out and hands papers to Hornswoggle. He takes the papers to Jerry Lawler who announces that it is a "Cease and Desist" order by D-X. By the way, Hornswoggle was still in the D-X get up.
We cut to the back where John Cena is making his way to the ring which leads us to another break.

COMMERCIAL

We come back with a video recap of the Cena/Orton match last night and Cole makes mention that this was Cena's 7th title win. Justin Roberts tries to announce John Cena to the ring, but Legacy comes out instead (just DiBiase and Rhodes). They head to the ring with microphones.
Cody Rhodes talks first saying that the "Champ is...not here". Rhodes said that Cena was going to have to wait because The Legacy is here. DiBiase says just because Orton can't fight Cena for the title, they can at Survivor Series, they will be bringing the title back to The Legacy where it belongs. He continues by saying that they didn't ask the guest hosts for this because they didn't have to. They are making a direct challenge to Cena. DiBiase says that he can face one of them or both of them. They're cut off by Cena's music and the WWE Champion makes his way to the ring.
Large "Cena" chant before he starts talking. He finally begins and says that he doesn't have to brag about last night. It was exactly what it was supposed to be: the very best competing in one final showdown. He said that he can speak for Orton and that both of them were exhausted following the match. He said the reason they went to those lengths was for them and for the WWE Championship. They also did it for all of the fans and most importantly, they did it because the John Cena/Randy Orton rivalry needed to end and it did.
Cena then says that everyone is excited about Raw because they want to know who he'll be facing, but he mocks the idea that they're excited about his opponent being Legacy. Rhodes says their not Randy Orton and he agrees. Cena says that the truth is he beat Randy Orton last night and he earned the right to say "No more" to their feud, including Legacy. He then says that if they want a shot at the Championship, they need to fall in line like everyone else and work for it because "that's how it's done around here". He continues by saying that the two of them haven't earned it yet. He asks the crowd and they agree.
Cena says that he was talking to the Raw guest hosts about the two of them having a match tonight and they need to get ready for their opponents. He motions to the entrance and MVP's Music Hits. He and Mark Henry make their way to the ring and apparently, that tag match is next.

COMMERCIAL

The Legacy vs MVP/Mark Henry

We're back and Legacy have the offense advantage. Rhodes has just been tagged in and is working over MVP with punches. He then puts a crossface type of headlock on him, but MVP doesn't give up. We get a shot of Logano and Busch in the back watching the match on the monitors. MPV finally makes a tag to Henry and he comes in fists and elbows blazing. He then lifts Rhodes up by the neck and holds him there, but DiBiase makes the save with a clip to the back of the leg. He then gets the tag and comes in with a ton of kicks and punches.
He takes him to their corner and he and Rhodes tag in and out a time or two taking turns with kicks and chokes. Another tag to Rhodes he puts a headlock on Henry. He then tries to hit MVP, but MVP counters with a punch of his own. MVP tries to get in the ring, but the ref keeps him back while Legacy double-team Henry. Another headlock applied to Henry by Rhodes. Henry gets out of it by delivering a VERY high back bodydrop. He then makes the tag and MVP comes in with suplexes, punches, and elbows on Ted DiBiase. He then delivers the "Ballin" elbow drop. Rhodes makes the save on the pin attempt.
MVP does a sunset flip over DiBiase into a pin and while DiBiase is wabbling trying to avoid the pin, Mark Henry clotheslines him from the ring apron and MVP gets the 3 count.

WINNERS: MVP and Mark Henry

After The Match: Randy Orton's music hits and he comes to the ring. Orton says that apparently, the guest hosts are trying to find the next opponent for John Cena and it officially looks like that opponent will not be him. He says that he understands the terms of their match last night, but he doesn't care..he's the former World Champion and he deseves a rematch, even if it takes him going higher than the guest hosts to get it.
Kofi then comes on the big screen and says that no one cares about Orton and he needs to get over it. Orton says to come say that to his face and Kofi says he already is. The camera then spans out and we see that Kofi is standing on the new stock car that Legacy had given Orton earlier. With Orton yelling at him to not do anything to the car, Kofi starts keying his car. He then looks at the car and asks if that's a bug on his car. He tells Orton not to worry because he got his back. He takes a crowbar and starts unloading on the car. Orton just stares.
Kofi says that he's sorry he just messed up Orton's paint job. He says "let me make it right", takes a bucket of red paint, and dumps it all over the hood of Orton's car covering the picture of Orton that was on it. Kofi says that he doesn't think Orton's ever looked better and we go to commercial.

COMMERCIAL

We're back with a shot of a few Buffalo Bills players in the crowd and a replay of Kofi Kingston tearing up Randy's new stock car.

Eve is in the ring as the guest ring announcer. She introduces Evan Bourne and the United States Champion, The Miz as they have a match up next.

The Miz vs Evan Bourne

They lock up and Miz takes control with some kicks. He goes for an early cover, but a quick kick out. He then starts choking Bourne with a knee against the second rope, followed by a belly-to-back suplex. He places a sit down, double-arm submission and the ref asks Bourne if he wants to quit. Bourne doesn't and Miz continues the move. Bourne finally makes his way to his feet and after a couple of quick counters, Bourne hits a double knee drop and gets a one-count. He then has a series of offense move with a leaping hurricarana being one of them. Another pin, another kick out.
Miz regains control and Jack Swagger makes his way out to ringside. He takes a microphone and says that no one is watching Miz's match. He said that the real person everyone is watching is Eve who is sitting down at ringside. He said or maybe it's Eve watching him and who can blame her. Miz comes outside to confront Swagger and as they are arguing, Bourne flies with a cross body and lands on both of them. Bourne then jumps back into the ring before the ref counts to 10 and wins the match.

WINNER (via count-out): Evan Bourne

Triple H vs Big Show still to come tonight.

COMMERCIAL

We're back and don't forget, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are hosting Raw next week.

Jamie Noble is bouncing around the ring ready for action and we get the Raw hosts on the big screen announcing that he'll be going head to head with Raw's newest accusition, Sheamus.

Sheamus vs Jamie Noble

Prior to the match, Sheamus gets on the mic and says that it's his first night on Raw and he's here to make an impression. The match starts and Noble hits a kick, but Sheamus hits him with a shoulder block that sends him to the outside. Sheamus follows and runs him into the steel steps. He rolls Noble back inside, follows him, and hits a couple of elbow drops. He covers but pulls Noble's head up before the three count. He then takes Noble up to his shoulder for a submission type of move. Noble fights out and lands a couple of kicks, but Sheamus throws him into the corner. Noble moves when Sheamus charges and tries a roll up, but Sheamus fights out and knees him multiple times in the corner.
Sheamus continues with a series of knee drops to the back of Noble's head while he's laying flat on the crowd. Sheamus picks Noble up and hits a couple of back breakers and when Noble reaches his feet again, Sheamus hits a huge boot to the head and gets the victory.

WINNER: Sheamus

The announcers put Sheamus over as the "real deal" while we see a replay and Sheamus exits the ring. We then cut to the back with D-X walking toward the ring and the Triple H/Big Show match is next.

COMMERCIAL

Triple H vs Big Show

Big Show and Chris Jericho (still carrying the trophy he won last night) are already in the ring once we return. The D-X music then hits and Triple H and Shawn Michaels make their way to the ring. The bell sounds and they lock up, but after Triple H gets away, he gets a microphone and says that the Raw guest hosts made a change to the match. It's now a Lumberjack match and the lumberjacks are all the guys Big Show screwed over last night. Henry, Swagger, Chris Masters, MVP, Rhodes, Santino some others come out and send Jericho takes off through the crowd to the back.
Shawn then takes the microphone and says that the match is also a No Disqualifications match. He dismisses the official and says they have a special referee for tonight's match. John Cena's music hits and he comes out in a ref shirt. Once in the ring, Big Show charges Triple H, but Triple H ducks and pulls down the top rope sending him to the outside. The lumberjacks start beating on Show as we go to a break.

COMMERCIAL

We're back and both are back in the ring. Big Show has the offense, but Triple H quickly gets control. He jumps on Show's back and applies a sleeper which Big Show breaks by flipping Hunter over his shoulders. Big Show charges Triple H, but H moves and attempts a bodyslam, but Show falls on him. Big Show lifts Hunter up by his hair, throws him off the ropes, but Hunter kicks him. He then runs at Show but is met with a huge spear.
Big Show then starts standing on top of Hunter near the ropes as Shawn and the other lumberjacks look on. Show then delivers a series of slaps to the chest in the corner. The men outside the ring start rallying the crowd behind Hunter and he starts battling back with punchs, but Big Show hits a sidewalk slam. Cover and a kick out at two. Big Show then starts squeezing Hunter's shoulder and delievers four headbutts. Hunter does the crotch chop taunting Show but that only pisses him off. He hits a bodyslam and as he runs the ropes, Chris Masters grabs his leg. Show grabs him and brings him into the ring and takes him out with a big punch. This allows Hunter to regain the offense though as the match continues.

As Hunter is trying to take Big Show down with some running shoulder blocks, Big Show finally catches up and attempts a chokeslam. Hunter reverses it into a DDT. Big Show goes for the Pedigree, but Show reverses it with a back bodydrop. With Hunter down near the corner, Big Show goes to the second rope and hits a splash. He covers Triple H, but as Cena is counting, right before three, he jumps up holding his hand like he hurt it. Show gets up and gets in his face as Cena smiles and tells him to turn around.
He gets drop-kicked by a couple lumberjacks and then all of them come in taking turns on him. Bourne nails his Shooting Star Press and Santino gets in and starts mocking him. He chokeslams him but is then nailed with the "Trouble In Paradise" by Kofi. Cena follows it with the Attitude Adjustment. Michaels is now in the ring hits the Sweet Chin Music, followed by the Pedigree from Triple H. A cover and Cena counts to three.

WINNER: Triple H

After The Match: The Raw guest hosts come back out while Cena, Michaels, and Triple H are standing in the ring. They thank the crowd for letting them guest host the show. Kyle says that they've been thinking all night about who should face Cena at Survivor Series for the title. He says they couldn't agree until one guy made them agree. Hornswoggle's Music Hits and they announce that at Survivor Series, it's going to be a triple threat beween Cena, Michaels, and Triple H for the WWE Championship. We go off the air with them staring each other down in the ring after just hearing the news.

Jerry Lawler puts it over as "every man for himself" at Survivor Series.

Hornswoggle comes in dressed in D-X garb after HBK said the next person they see will replace Jack Swagger if he doesn't want to be on their team, as he claims. Just a whole joke segment.

World Title:
(Fatal Fourway)
-The Undertaker(c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk vs. Batista
Match begins with Batista chasing Punk out of the ring. He chases him back in the ring and Taker catches him coming in with a clothesline. Rey is in now and is unloading on Undertaker. Taker quickly responds with a big boot to calm him down. Batista and Rey argue over who to try a pin attempt on Taker. Rey finally goes to pin him but Taker grabs him by the throat from his back. Batista hits the Batista-Bomb on Taker and tries a pin but Rey interferes, pulling Batista off so he can try the pin himself. Taker kicks out and Batista-Rey argue over what just happened. Batista clears Punk from the ring. Rey dives onto Batista but Batista catches him and launches him at Rey. This allows Taker to hit Batista with the Tombstone for the pinfall victory.

Winner and STILL World champion: The Undertaker

After The Match: Batista & Mysterio Duke It Out
After the match, Josh Matthews comes in the ring to interview Batista and Mysterio. He asks how it felt to be so close to becoming new champion. Rey tries hugging Batista. Batista gets mad and says he's sick of Mysterio stabbing him in the back. Rey tries calming him down but Batista clotheslines him down. Batista grabs Rey by the throat as Rey begs Batista to stop. Batista flings him into the guard-rail. Batista goes to leave but kicks Mysterio one more time for good measure.

Team RAW vs. Team SMACKDOWN
-D-X, Mark Henry, Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger & Cody Rhodes vs. Chris Jericho, Kane, Matt Hardy, Finlay, R-Truth & The Hart Dynasty
The SmackDown team has blue SD! shirts on. Team RAW has red RAW shirts on. Well, D-X has their own D-X shirts on. Swagger's shirt is ripped off early into the match, so he's the only "skin" to the rest of the "shirts." Now that the attire recap is out of the way, back to the match! Very good match. The finish came when Big Show screwed over his teammates on RAW and hit the knockout punch on Triple H. This allows Jericho to pick up the pin on Kingston for the victory.

Winners: Team SmackDown

WWE Title:- (Iron Man Match)
-Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena
Early in the match, Cena slaps the STF on Orton. Orton taps out almost immediately, putting Cena up one fall to none. After the restart, we get a rest spot already (about five minutes into the match). Not a good sign! Cena hits a leg drop off the top rope. He does his "you can't see me" 5-Knuckle Shuffle spot. Before he can drop the punch, Orton pops up and hits an RKO out of nowhere for a clean pinfall. Things are even now with each man holding a fall over the other. So e're all tied up. On the floor, an announce table is cleared off and Orton blasts Cena with one of the announcer's monitors. Orton slams a microphone into Cena's head next. Cena is bleeding now. A trainer tries looking at Cena's cut but Cena pushes him aside and bull-charges Orton. Orton cuts him off in his tracks and is again in control of the offense. We have a double-pin spot for the next fall, so each man gains a point. It's 2 to 2 now. Soon thereafter, Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment off the top for a pinfall and another point. The score is 3-2 Cena now. Legacy runs down and is beating down Cena now. They pull Orton across Cena's body and Orton gets the pinfall, tieing things up again. The score is now 3 to 3. Kofi Kingston comes down with a chair to chase Legacy to the back. Orton slams Cena into some equiptment and we get a pyro explosion spot. Orton throws Cena into more props and we get more explosion pyro stuff. Orton pins Cena and regains the upper hand now, with the score being 4 for Orton and 3 for Cena. Still a while to go in this Iron Man match though. A few falls later, the score is now tied again at 5 and 5. Only about ten minutes left in this Iron Man match, so our finish is coming soon. Orton gets mad at a situation and knocks out the ref. Time is almost up in the Iron Man time limit. Cena is down and Orton is waiting for him to get up to land the punt finisher. Cena avoids it and slaps on the STF. Orton eventually taps, giving Cena the edge in the score, 6 to 5. Time expires and we have a new WWE champion.

Winner and NEW WWE champion: John Cena

JIM ROSS is recovering at home after suffering a Bell's Palsy attack on his way to this week's Smackdown taping.

He said: "Life is about facing the challenges we encounter so I am going to do all I can to get better and back at the announce desk ASAP.

"I wish I had more answers but I simply don't at this time. I want to be a part of Bragging Rights but only time will tell if that will be physically possible.

"My passion and love for the game is in tact but I have to do what's best for my long-term health.

"WWE has been tremendously supportive of my situation of which I am very grateful.

"Never count me out of the game as this isn't the first mountain that I have had to climb.

"Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole will handle Smackdown from Columbia. My thanks to everyone for understanding this matter.

"Better days are on the horizon."

John Cena: Is he on his way to Smackdown?

2009-10-22T16:29:00.003+01:00

The hot topic among professional wrestling fans this week is whether or not John Cena is headed to Smackdown after Bragging Rights.

John Cena to Smackdown

On this week's episode of Raw, the writers, the commentators, and John Cena went above and beyond to send home the point that the former WWE Heavyweight Champion could be on his way out of the brand.

At Bragging Point, John Cena will challenge Randy Orton for the title. If he loses the match, then he will be forced to move over to the Smackdown brand (don't even entertain the idea that he would ever be sent to ECW).

With that big pay per view stipulation and the emphasis on Raw, wrestling fans were left to wonder if John Cena will finally return to Smackdown.

Over the Top

It's easy to understand that WWE needed to sell the storyline pretty heavily on Raw last night, but for long time wrestling fans, it did feel like a bit of an insult to our intelligence.

First of all, WWE did the right thing by having John Cena losing cleanly to Triple H last night. Sure, you want your top challenger to look strong going into the pay per view, but the lost was done to set the tone for his realization that he could have wrestled his last match on Raw.

Everyone tried to make it seem as if a departure from Raw would be the end of the world. It wouldn't. He's still going to be a part of WWE. This isn't like he's leaving WWE to join another company.

It's a marketing strategy that is aimed towards the fans with lesser intelligence. Those that know better are just going to shake their head and then brush it off.

Highly Unlikely

While it's not completely impossible, it's highly unlikely that John Cena would be moved to the Smackdown brand after Bragging Rights.

Regardless of what anyone tries to say, Raw is the main brand in WWE. It will always be the main brand as long as Vince McMahon sees it that way. No amount of talk from the wrestlers, fans, or announcers is ever going to be able to change that.

John Cena is the top star in WWE.

A lot of people are going to want to disagree with that, but the fact is, Vince McMahon believes that. In his world, John Cena is the top star. Since his world controls what happens in WWE, that makes it a fact.

So, the logical thing to do would be for the company to keep their top star on the top brand.

Another thing to factor in is that if you take John Cena away from Raw, you lose out on a top babyface without a replacement in line.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels are more than capable of taking over that role right now, but the company seems to favor them remaining as a duo. Merchandise sales for DX products have been doing well, and the company would love to milk it for as much as they can before it eventually ends.

Guys like Carlito, Evan Bourne, Festus, Primo, Mark Henry, MVP, and Santino Marella are just not quite there at that level. Some of them will never be able to step into the top babyface spot.

Closing Thoughts

I'll be willing to bet big money that we're going to see John Cena on Raw next week. You can bet on that.

New WWE Talent: The Full Nigel McGuinness Story and Bryan Danielson Update

2009-10-22T10:11:00.000+01:00

It is believed that Nigel McGuinness signed a two-year deal with TNA.

WrestlingINC.com is reporting that McGuinness approached TNA about working out a deal when WWE decided to pull its previous offer after he failed a prescreening procedure. McGuinness' prescreening reportedly turned up several injury issues. The screening led to WWE backing off on their interest in signing him. This reportedly happened 5-6 days ago, and McGuinness was instructed to keep quiet when asked about his WWE status. It should be noted that he suffered two torn biceps and a pair of concussions during his time in Ring of Honor.

TNA had attempted to sign McGuinness in the past, but he had originally agreed to a new deal with ROH and TNA instead hired Doug Williams. WrestlingINC.com reports that TNA president Dixie Carter is also a big fan of McGuinness and has been for quite some time.

We're also told that his new ring name in TNA, Desmond Wolf, was something he came up with and the new doctrine in TNA is to use new names so they can trademark them. This was done so that he could keep the McGuinness name and so TNA could trademark the new name.

ROH officials did not know that McGuinness signed with TNA until he showed up in Orlando yesterday.

WrestlingINC.com is also reporting that any earlier reports suggesting that Bryan Danielson was also on his way to TNA are not true as he recently passed the prescreening process and is expected to debut anytime now. Danielson also expressed zero interest in ever working for TNA several years ago.

Current TNA Talent jumping back to WWE?

2009-10-21T08:37:00.001+01:00

According to sources, the word at Sunday's TNA Bound For Glory PPV was that TNA would not be renewing Booker T's contract when it expires in November. There was said to be talk that TNA President Dixie Carter would have a change of heart if Booker said the right things, but every indication right now is that he sealed his fate when he refused to job to Matt Morgan at the last set of iMPACT! TV tapings.

Creative booked the stretcher angle at the PPV to get him out of the match. We're told there was lots of eye rolling backstage over the way he acted as he was being stretchered out. One TNA source even added, "He's been such an asshole that most people were just happy to see him go."

The belief is that WWE has interest in bringing Booker back to the company once he is contractually available.

Former Ring of Honor Champion Nigel McGuinness is backstage at the TNA tapings today. Nigel and ROH officials indicated that he had agreed in principle with WWE but it appears as though he is signing with TNA instead.

There has also been some buzz that Bryan Danielson might be headed to TNA as well but that is not confirmed.

The early talk is that WWE dragged its feet on signing the duo, so TNA swooped in and signed Nigel.

WWE Raw: Official Report, October 19th 2009

2009-10-20T09:04:00.003+01:00

Show: WWE Raw
Date: October 19th 2009

WWE RAW Opener

Snoop Dogg opens the show pulling up in a hot ride with the Bella Twins and Eve. They get in the ring, dance a little bit and he grabs the mic. He says he's a huge fan of WWE and his mindset is all business and not personal. He also says that this Sunday (at "Bragging Rights") that Raw was going to beat the hell out of Smackdown. He brings up John Cena's potential last night on Raw and his match against Triple H. He says that since Cena is in a match, it's only fair for Randy Orton to wrestle as well. Orton will face Ted DiBiase, Jr. later tonight. Not only that, Shawn Michaels will wrestle Chris Jericho.

He then introduces D-X and they make their way to the ring.

Michaels and Triple H make their usual entrance and grab mics. Hunter puts Snoop Dogg over again and says that anytime you have Snoop Dogg on the show, you have to have white guys come out and try to talk "his language". They make a few slang jokes and then get to business with "Bragging Rights". They say they have a team of "epic proportions" going against Team Smackdown (the likes of which show up on the big screen). Crowd actually boos Smackdown when they're mentioned, although they did cheer Cryme Tyme. Hunter and Shawn mock the heels of the team and really put Drew McEntyre and Eric Escobar claiming they have no idea who they are. They say that Smackdown's team fails in comparison to the team they've put together and Team Raw makes their way out to the ring.

The members of Team Raw all make their way out to the ring and they go down the line introducing each of them individually and while Shawn mentions them, Triple H makes the jokes. They get to Jack Swagger and Shawn says "American" 18 times as the joke against his "All American American" moniker. He then gets to Cody Rhodes and doesn't say anything and Rhodes grabs the microphone and introduces himself. Rhodes says if the team captains were based on talent, he would be the captain. He goes on to say that at the ppv, he may not tag anyone else in and he'll beat Team Smackdown by himself.

Big Rhodes then gets in his face and says that he doesn't care if he respects D-X, but he will respect him. He continues saying that if at anytime, if he thinks Rhodes (or anyone else) is going to let the team down, he'll take them out himself. Henry then asks if that's a threat and says if it is, then the two of them are definitely going to have a problem. Swagger gets the mic next and says he's miles ahead of both them athletically and on Sunday, they need to stand back, look intimidating, and let him do the work. Kofi breaks the commotion up saying that their fighting is exactly what Smackdown wants and they need to all get on the same page.

Kofi doesn't use his Jamaican accent and Triple H calls him out on it asking where it went. Shawn then gets the mic and they brush that off quickly saying that Kofi is right and that five of them have a tag team match coming up. Hunter says that if anyone of them gets beaten in that match, the person that beats them will take their place.

That match starts right now!

COMMERCIAL

Rhodes/Swagger/Big Show/Kofi/Mark Henry vs MVP/Chavo Guerrero/Evan Bourne/Primo/Chris Masters Kofi and Chavo

Are going at it when we return with Kofi getting the better of him. He tags Big Show and Mark Henry in at the same time and while they are arguing for a second, Rhodes runs in, but gets drop-kicked quickly. MVP then comes in and takes over for a few minutes until he tags in Evan Bourne. Bourne goes for a quick cover but Rhodes kicks out. Primo gets tagged in and the two of them go back and forth some. Rhodes hits the Cross Roads, but Swagger tags himself in and makes the quick pin.

WINNERS: Rhodes, Swagger, Big Show, Kofi, and Mark Henry

After the match, an argument between all five of them takes place and a fight breaks out with Big Show being the last man standing.

They then show a replay of last week's main event when Ted DiBiase steals the win from Randy Orton. The two of them will be fighting later tonight. It cuts to the back with Josh Matthews interviewing DiBiase. He says that last week, he didn't do anything Orton wouldn't do when he pinned him. He's a competitor and he wins. He said that Orton hasn't returned any of his calls and all of a sudden, Orton shows up. Orton says he betrayed him and DiBiase asks whether or not he would do the same thing if Orton was him. Orton says if I were you, I wouldn't fight back in their match later tonight and "finally show me the respect that I deserve". He said if he does that, there's a chance he will not throw him out of Legacy. He said if he does decide to fight, then he'll regret it for the rest of his life.

COMMERCIAL

Randy Orton vs Ted DiBiase, Jr.

The two come to the middle of the ring and stare each other down for a second before separating. They then come back to the middle of the ring and hesitate before Orton finally kicks DiBiase in the stomach. Ted slowly rises and is hit with an uppercut. As it rises to his knees, a close up of his face shows him getting pissed. He still doesn't fight back though and gets a boot to the head by Orton. Orton bends down and starts taunting him before kicking his knee and then his stomach. He gets down into the face of DiBiase again and yells at him asking if he wants to him. Orton keeps stomping away and finally, DiBiase comes to his feet and gets into the face of Orton. Crowd is really behind DiBiase. Orton pie-faces him three times and pushes him off the ropes and DiBiase comes off and pushes Orton.

It looks like he wants to fight him, but he hesitates and dosn't. "Teddy" chant breaks out, but with DiBiase nearly in tears, he starts slowly settling down as Orton comes back and gets in his face waiting for him to do what it is he's going to do. DiBiase starts looking down at the ground and Orton grabs his face before deliving the RKO and geting the three-count.

WINNER: Randy Orton

COMMERCIAL

Lou Albano tribute plays during the commercial break. We then get a sneak peak of Snoop Dogg's "Gangsta Luv" song.

We're back with Snoop Dogg and the ladies in the back. Hornswoggle then comes in, but is followed by Chavo. He puts over to Snoop Dogg how he's a Guerrero and he deserves some love. Jillian then comes in and says she demands a Diva title rematch tonight. She then starts "singing" Gin and Juice. Santino then comes dressed like Charlie Brown and acting "gangsta" until Snoop Dogg finally kicks them all out.

I'm now getting a message that Raw is experiencing technical difficulties.

We're back and Lawler and Cole promote the Jericho/Michaels match for later tonight. John Cena is shown in the back and his match with Triple H is next.

John Cena vs Triple H

Cena's out first, followed by Triple H. Prior to Triple H coming out, a "Cena" chant breaks out and he smiles an appreciative smile as this could be his last night on Raw (at least that's the way the announcers put it over). Bell sounds, they lock up and go to the mat with a lot of takes downs and reversals. Cena takes Hunter up onto his shoulders early, but Triple H quickly jumps off and takes a breather. A headlock take down by Cena. Triple H gets up, irish whip and Cena its a shoulder block followed by a hip top and a two-count. The ref backs Cena up so Hunter can get up.

They tie back up, lock hands and do a test of power with Cena getting the leverage until Triple H hits him with a knee. He then runs Cena into one of the turnbuckle corners. Cena throws a combination of punches and then charges Hunter, but is hit by a clothesline. Hunter goes for a cover, but Cena kicks out. Hunter whips Cena into the corner hard and Cena goes down. Large "Cena" chant breaking out. Another hard throw and Cena goes crashing back-first into the other corner. Two count, followed by a third irish whip into the corner. Hunter attempts a pedigree, but Cena reverses and launches Hunter to the corner flipping him over it and we take a break.

COMMERCIAL

We're back and Hunter has the advantage. He hits a back-breaker on Cena, goes for a pin, but gets another two count. Hunter starts working over Cena's back with some knees and ramming him into the corner repeatedly. Cena starts trying to come back and they trade punches in the middle of the ring. Cena finally gets the upperhand with the punches and goes off the ropes, ducks a clothesline and hits a shoulder block. He goes back off the ropes for another shoulder block but Triple H ducks and Cena lands hard on the mat. When Cena quickly tries to take Hunter back up on his shoulders, Hunter jumps off and goes back to the knee. Cena suckers him in and while Hunter approaches him, Cena takes him down and tries to get his STF submission on him, but Triple H gets to the ropes.

Cena starts getting some offense in hitting a fisherman suplex, but Triple H reverses a bulldog. Triple H goes for a pedigree, but Cena reverses into the STF and locks it on. Triple H claws his way to the bottom rope, but before he can reach it, Cena drags him back to the middle of the ring. Triple H gets to the bottom rope, gets up and hits the Pedigree. He goes for the cover, but Cena gets his foot up on the rope.

COMMERCIAL

We're back and Hunter again has the advantage. They show a replay from the break and Hunter threw Cena into the ring steps on the outside. Hunter counters another Attitude Adjustement attempt and locks a Figure Four on him. It shows Orton in the back watching the match as Cena reaches the ropes and breaks the hold. A couple of shoulder blocks from Cena, another slam, and the Five Knuckle Shuffle. He measures, takes Hunter up on his shoulders again, but Hunter counters and hits a couple of knees. A clothesline and a big spinebuster. Hunter then hits another pedigree, goes for the pin, but Cena kicks out! He tries for another one, but Cena takes him up and hits the Attitude Adjustment, but Hunter kicks out of that! Real good match up this point.

Cena goes to the top rope with Michael Cole putting over how rarely he does it. He tries a leg drop, but Hunter gets out of the way. He goes for another Pedigree, Cena counters into an Attitude Adjustment attempt, Hunter counters into a third Pedigree and finally gets the three count.

WINNER: Triple H

After the match, Cena slowly rises while Triple H rests on the corner. Hunter goes off and in a sign of respect, he helps Cena up and shakes his hand. Big ovation from the crowd for that. Triple H exits and Cena stays in the ring. Hunter's music stops and we hear a vague "Cena" chant as Orton is shown watching again from the back. Cena salutes the crowd and disappointed, he leaves the ring. He throws his arms up when he reaches the top of the entrance ramp.

COMMERCIAL

Miz vs Some Jobber/Nope...Marty Jannetty

Before the ref could announce the jobber's name, Snoop Dogg comes on and says that Marty Jannetty is his opponent tonight due to what Miz said about him on Smackdown this past week. Bell sounds and we're underway...

Miz backs Jannetty into the corner and pushes him before being slapped by Jannetty. Jannetty goes for a quick roll-up, but gets a two count. Jannetty's offense doesn't last long before Miz hits a "brutal" clothesline. He then locks in a sleeper. Lots of "Marty" chants by the crowed. Marty comes to his feet and delivers a suplex. A high elbow followed by a clothesline and then a back body slam. Marty goes to the top rope and delivers a fist. Two count. Attempted bodyslam, but Miz reverses. A back and forth exchange between the two before Miz hits the Skull Crushing Finale and gets the win.

Winner: The Miz

We see Chavo Guerrero talking with Jillian in the back, but can't hear what they're saying, as we go to break. The Diva's Championship match between Jillian and Melina (won the title last week) is next.

COMMERCIAL

DIVA'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Melina (c) vs Jillian

Bell sounds and as soon it does, Chavo (who's on the outside) jumps on and distracts the ref so Jillian can get the early advantage. She throws Melina into the corner, tries to charge her, but Melina counters. Chavo gets back up on the apron, but Hornswoggle comes out of nowhere and pulls him off the apron. Melina hits her finisher and gets the quick victory.

WINNER: Melina

After the match, Chavo catches Hornswoggle in the ring but Snoop Dogg runs out. Chavo pushes Hornswoggle down and pushes Snoop a few times. Hornswoggle gets on all fours behind Chavo and Snoop Dogg hits a clothesline. Chavo takes off his shirt and him and Snoop Dogg circle. Chavo charges with a clothesline, Snoop ducks, and lands a big spear. Chavo leaves and Snoop Dogg, Hornswoggle, and a host of divas (Bella's, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, and Eve I believe is all of them) come out and they all dance together.

COMMERCIAL

We're back and get a video recap of the Orton/Cena build up followed by Cole and Lawler running down the "Bragging Rights" pay per view this Sunday.

We see Chris Jericho in the back walking and he'll be facing Shawn Michaels next.

COMMERCIAL

Kyle Busch & Joey Logano to host Raw next week, by the way.

Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho

Jericho makes his way out to the ring, followed by HBK and we're underway. During Shawn's entrance, Cole did put over how HBK has been on Raw since the beginning 16 years ago. Jericho grabs a mic prior to the match and says that he could knock him out right now if he wanted to, but he didn't have to. He said Team Smackdown has an advantage because he's the captain and he's the best in the world. He said he used his leadership skills to form the better team that is going to defeat Team Raw this weekend. He said "we're" going to start right now with Shawn and Cryme Tyme's music hits as they enter the ring from the crowd. Shawn jumps out of the ring and Kane's music hits. He also comes out from the crowd followed by Ziggler, Escobar, and McEntyre. They all get in the ring and Kane's pyro explodes with Shawn still on the outside.

Jericho starts to talk, but the D-X music cuts him off and Hunter comes out followed by the rest of Team Raw. They come and stand by Michaels before getting into the ring and squaring off against Team Smackdown.

The two teams face each other in the middle and Hunter starts talking. He congratulates Jericho saying that he's done the impossible by giving Team Raw something that his team can all agree on: they don't like him or his show. He said although his team may have walked on to this show, they're about to get thrown off of it.

Enter Vickie Guerrero and her "Excuse Me".

She said that she can see where this is going, but the crowd forces her to continue excusing herself. She says as the "official consultant" of Team Smackdown, she will not allow this to happen. She says that Shawn and Hunter want a fight and they're going to get one, but it's not going to happen until this Sunday. She orders Team Smackdown to leave the ring and the arena now. A loud "You Suck" chant breaks out and Hunter gets on the mic telling Jericho and his team that they heard Vickie. He says to leave because he wouldn't want to get in trouble. He then says that Jericho is already in trouble because he works for Vickie Guerrero and the fight breaks out between all the men.

We go off the air with the fight continuing between the two teams.

“I was preparing for the Paul O’Grady show when someone from the WWE phoned me asking if I could go and see them.

“They were hosting a show at the 02 arena in London at the time so I went down and had a word with them and they said they had an interest in taking me over there.

“I was overjoyed, I stayed around for a bit of the show and it was nice to see some of the wrestlers in the flesh.

“I also met Shane McMahon (Executive Vice President of WWE Global Media) briefly and shook hands with him.”

Speaking about his contract, Barri said: “It’s an exciting prospect.

“I think I’ll miss home but I certainly won’t lose any of my Welshness.

“Nobody knows me over there so I’ll be starting from scratch and I know I have to prove myself.

“I’m very excited and the hard work doesn’t bother me because I enjoy keeping fit and going to the gym.

“For me, it’s like being chosen to play for a Premiership football club, who could refuse the chance to become a WWE superstar?”

Barri’s trainer and manager Orig Williams said: “If Barri continues to progress in the way he has done in the short time he has been with us, I have no doubt he will become a future WWE Champion.”

Barri will be taking part in a farewell event at the Ganolfan in Porthmadog on Tuesday, October 27 at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £9 for adults and £7 for children and are on sale at Siop Eifionydd on (01766) 514045 and at the Ganolfan (01766) 513373.

BREAKING NEWS: Shane McMahon Resigns from WWE

2009-10-16T13:46:00.001+01:00

It is with great sadness that I announce my resignation from the WWE, effective January 1, 2010.

I have never even considered a future outside the walls of the WWE. However, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn and while it is the most difficult decision I have ever made, it is time for me to move on.

First and foremost, I would like to thank my father for the incredible education working with him has provided and for giving me the opportunity to play a role in building WWE into the global phenomenon that it is today. I am extremely proud to have been the 4th generation in this business, and I am grateful for everyday I was able to work along side not only my own, but the entire WWE family.

Thank you to all of the WWE Superstars both past and present for your passion, pride and dedication.

Thank you for the privilege of sharing the stage with you and for allowing me to become but a momentary member of your elite brotherhood. I have so much appreciation for the many sacrifices you endure, both physically and personally, to make this business the success that it is. The respect I have for each of you is immeasurable.

Finally, there are no words to express my gratitude to WWE fans the world over for supporting this company through good times and bad and for your unbridled passion that fuels the Superstars’ performances.

Diva Trade Analysis: Looking to the Future?

2009-10-14T16:09:00.000+01:00

More rumours on each of the Diva trades has circulated. This time, NoDQ.com reports why Beth Phoenix, the Bella Twins and Melina were moved:

Beth Phoenix was moved to Smackdown because it was felt that she lost momentum on RAW. It’s been rumored that she could be paired up with Dolph Ziggler.

The Bella Twins were moved to RAW because Vince McMahon was said to have “fallen in love with them” following their guest host skits on RAW several weeks back. They are expected to be featured in guest host segments on a regular basis now.

WWE is said to be high on both Jilian Hall (McMahon likes her act) and Melina (which is why she was moved to RAW).

In the case of Beth possibly being united with Dolph Ziggler, we can somewhat corroborate. Not to say WWE will go that route, but if they do it falls in line with what we’ve heard. As expected, it doesn’t sound like the Bella Twins will be wrestling much.

BREAKING NEWS: WWF/E Hall of Famer Passes Away

2009-10-14T15:47:00.002+01:00

WWF Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano has passed away aged 76. Albano suffered a severe heart attack in 2005 and has had failing health ever since. We reported the news yesterday that Albano had been put in a hospice.

Captain Lou Albano was an instrumental star in transforming the then WWWF from a regional to a national promotion. As well as wrestling success Albano transformed himself into one of the most villionous managers of all time managing the likes of Pat Patterson, Don Muraco and Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine. Albano carved a prolific legacy that remains unmatched by guiding over a dozen teams to the WWWF World Tag Team Championships. Under his tutelage, Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito, The Valiant Brothers, Wild Samoans, The Moondogs, and The British Bulldogs.

By the end of his career, Albano managed over 50 different wrestlers who won two dozen championships.

WWEAdikt!! sends out our deepest condolences to family and friends.

Diva Trade Analysis: Looking at Each Trade

2009-10-14T10:01:00.000+01:00

Just under 24 hours removed from last night’s Diva Trade, what do the moves mean for each of the 7 Divas that have changed homes? We aim to offer our insight into what they could be getting up to:

The Bella Twins
Returning to Monday Night Raw, the Bella Twins’ brief excursion to ECW seems to be over… unfortunately. That said, given the fact they have been making trips to Raw over the past month or two anyway, it only seems fitting to make it official, right? I don’t expect the Bellas will be doing much in the way of wrestling on Raw, nor will they probably have much part in the women’s division at all — except at house shows. If they do wrestle, it will likely be as rarely as they did on ECW. So what does that leave them to do? What they’ve been doing already — backstage segments with the Guest Host for the week, maybe even a few skits here and there with Santino. It looks to me as though they were brought back to Raw for that reason, to serve as characters rather than wrestlers which I guess, is okay.

Beth Phoenix
I’m not entirely happy with this move for Beth, I truly feel not all of the avenues of the Beth Phoenix character were explored and there was more that she could have offered to Raw; feuding with Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly and possibly even Melina again. On SmackDown, while there is the possibility [technically] that she could go toe-to-toe with Michelle McCool or Natalya — both of which are salivating prospects — it just doesn’t seem likely with all three as heels. That just leaves two Divas: Maria and Mickie James. One of those feuds we’ve seen already and would be like beating a dead horse, the other of those feuds seems like an extremely mismatched affair. Nonetheless, it seems like Maria vs Beth could be the only avenue they explore in a singles situation. There is always the chance of a three-way feud with Michelle McCool and Mickie James also. Beyond those two storylines, I don’t see there being much for Beth to accomplish on SmackDown.

Eve Torres
This could be seen as a promotion for Eve Torres, a Diva that has caught the attention of WWE management and will likely be a breakout star for 2010. I’m actually a little perplexed as to why they pulled the trigger on moving Eve at this moment in time. She was making a lot of headway on SmackDown and was meant to be the next contender in line for the Women’s Championship against Michelle McCool. To completely take her out of that programme and move her to Raw, where she’ll likely get lost in the shuffle doesn’t sound very fruitful to me. As I mentioned during the WWE Draft in April, once a star begins to gain traction on SmackDown, they are somehow drafted/traded to Raw. Sadly, I think Eve may get lost in the shuffle on Raw considering there seems to be a pecking order with Kelly Kelly & Gail Kim in second and third place respectively on the totempole; will Eve be able to bypass them? I think Eve will get some strong Kelly-like showings every now and then, by that I mean singles wins over Jillian or Alicia Fox on WWE Superstars but for the most part, will likely be Melina’s tag team partner.

Melina
Getting perhaps the best deal of them all is Melina. She comes into Raw, takes the Divas Title and shoots straight to the top of the roster. Not bad for a Diva who was about to relinquish her top Diva spot on SmackDown to Eve. Melina has the opportunity to work with long time friend Jillian, who is rumoured to be her first title contender for the Divas Championship. Plus there are also opportunities to work with Maryse upon her return and Alicia Fox, a Diva who she had some great bouts with over on SmackDown. If they turn Gail Kim heel, as I hope they do, that would also make for a to-die-for feud. Considering where she was supposed to be heading on SmackDown, she really has come out of this for the better. It was expected that Melina would turn heel and feud with Maria in the coming months, which looks to be scrapped now. I feel there’s much more to explore with Melina as a babyface, so this is a blessing in disguise for me.

Mickie James
Talk about a shocker! I can’t believe this one happened but it did; a little bittersweet though as Raw has been Mickie’s home for four years after all. I feel this could be a breath of fresh air for Mickie’s career, but only if we book this right. Let us not revert back to Beth-Mickie unless we have absolutely 100% exhausted all of our other options. There are two feuds that Mickie could go into right off the bat with Michelle McCool and Natalya, both of which sound promising. She could even work matches with Layla who is always improving. I think working longer matches on SmackDown and working with more experienced girls [Michelle, Beth and Nattie] could help rejuvenate Mickie as an in-ring performer. It seems the feud that they will go with is Michelle-Mickie straightaway, which like Melina-Michelle could go for a good few months. When was the last time Mickie really had a good, long programme? This could be just what she needs.

Rosa Mendes
This one kind of proves that WWE does know what they are doing… at times. It’s as though they, like the rest of us, realised Rosa wasn’t clicking as an in-ring performer and have packed her off to ECW like the Bella Twins before her. I honestly don’t know what will become of Rosa on the forgotten third brand. The Divas don’t see much wrestling over there, so it’s likely she will fall into the role of a manager/valet or perhaps, not even seen for weeks on end. As beautiful as she is, I think this is the right call. Given that the Divas don’t see much ringtime anyway, she could take long periods of time off and be sent down to FCW to train some more. Though perhaps this will be the final death-knell on Rosa’s WWE run?

So what do you think will become of each of our 7 Divas on their new brands? Share your suggestions and predictions in the comments.

Diva Trade Update: Jillian Push & Mickie Punished

2009-10-14T10:00:00.000+01:00

The fallout from the Diva Trade last night is still being felt and now details are starting to pour in. A source backstage at Raw last night tells us:

- The reason for Mickie James‘ move to SmackDown was put down to her work ethic of late as well as her weight. The decision was made to move Mickie to SmackDown, sending her a message to shape up, ‘both figuratively and literally’.

The jibes about her weight, in my opinion, are completely ridiculous — she looks fine and healthy.

- Fans of Jillian may want to start planning a party; her title win last night is expected to be the start of a programme with Melina over the Divas Title. As with all things Creative though, plans can change in a heartbeat but as of now, that is the plan.

- All of the Divas backstage were in good spirits about their moves. The plans were only revealed to the Divas involved over the weekend, while the rest of the crew including the roster learned the news last night along with the rest of us.

Hopefully hear more soon.

Mickie James Update: Has WWE lost it's Enamour with Mickie James?

2009-10-13T19:12:00.001+01:00

There were many, many shocks delivered last night on Monday Night Raw and the WWE.com Diva Trade that succeeded it, but perhaps the biggest shocker is WWE’s top Diva Mickie James being shipped to SmackDown. Losing her Divas Championship so inauspiciously to Jillian and then being announced as moving to SmackDown; it seems like there is a much bigger story here. Has WWE lost it’s enamour with their golden girl?

Since Trish Stratus rode off into the sunset in 2006, Mickie James has undeniably been the top Diva in the entire company. Even though she had also, undeniably, lost much of her spark in the past few years, she was still the top Diva and the one that they relied upon the most. Four Women’s Championship reigns followed by a Divas Championship reign, making her only the second Diva Grand Slam Champion, means she is the most decorated Diva in the WWE right now.

Mickie’s career, much like Trish’s, has run for so long side-by-side with WWE’s A-show, Monday Night Raw. It was unfathomable to think that Trish Stratus could ever be traded to SmackDown and despite my call for her to be moved during the WWE Draft in April, at the time it looked as though Mickie would repeat Trish’s royalty claim as a Raw mainstay. Instead, they moved Melina, a Diva who had just returned to Raw five months prior and I felt, still had a lot to offer Raw. As I wrote back in April, it was time for a change of scenery for Mickie, she needed something to refresh her character completely and perhaps SmackDown could do the trick. The fact they so boldly kept her on Raw and moved Melina instead [granted they opted champion for champion trades] was very telling to me. I had then, consigned myself to the fact that like Trish, Mickie would be a Raw Diva for life.

So fast forward six months: Melina’s back on Raw and Mickie has unthinkably, been moved to SmackDown. Her title reign was cut short by WWE’s baneful, non-sensical management who decided to hold a Diva Trade for whatever reason. I just can’t help but feel that for Mickie, this move is something of a demotion or perhaps even a punishment.

It’s no secret, as our readers have been debating from months now, that Mickie has lost some of her luster in the ring and hasn’t turned in as many good efforts as we would expect of a top Diva. Her character has become equally stagnant, the girl next door charm she once had has worn off and now, I hate to say, her character is even a little unlikable. Despite the jumping on the ramp and big smile during her entrance, these days it all comes across as a bit of a facade — I can’t help but recall back to her facial expression after that match with Gail Kim. With the exception of a few matches here and there, it seems the passion in Mickie’s wrestling is no longer there & it’s all beginning to seem a little paint-by-numbers. The fans have caught — so perhaps WWE has finally caught on?

It’s almost an unspoken rule to have your top Superstar and your top Diva on Raw. Triple H, John Cena, Trish Stratus, Mickie James. This is why this trade in particular shocks me and makes me wonder what the backstage story could be. This leads me to my next point…

The exchange of Mickie for Melina. Is this a changing of the guard? In my humble opinion, since returning from injury nearly a year ago, Melina has been the antithesis of Mickie James. In every match she competes in, she seems to give every fiber of her being and acts as though every match could be her last; balls to the wall. I have thought it, and maybe said it a few times, I feel Melina should be considered the top babyface amongst the entire Divas roster and thus, take over the top Diva role. Moving her to Raw — is this maybe WWE’s way of giving her that nod? You want your top Diva to be someone that gives their all, sets an example for all of the women on the roster and Mickie unfortunately, hasn’t exactly lead by example over the past couple of years. Like Trish, Melina has shown a thirst to improve in every aspect; in-ring, in her character development, in her wardrobe and many other areas. The little attention to detail that makes a great Diva, a great Diva is there in Melina.

Is Melina now the top Diva in WWE? If so, I believe it’s been a long time coming. It was an unthinkable moment when Mickie was traded to SmackDown, but in the bigger picture — has she also been overthrown as WWE’s top Diva?

WWE RAW Results
October 12, 2009

WWE RAW Opener:

Chris Jericho opens the show in the back discussing the "Bragging Rights" pay per view, announcing that the main event would an "epic" battle between the Raw and Smackdown. Jericho reveals that although he can appear on both shows, he is first and foremost a Smackdown superstar. He also says that he has been named the "Team Captain" of Smackdown's team. Raw's guest host, Nancy O'Dell, then interrupts him saying that they don't start Raw with him; they start it with DX.

Triple H makes his way to the ring without Shawn Michaels.

Hunter says that it's unusual night (I guess with HBK gone), so they're going to have to do it a little different. He does their normal speech, throwing out "for Shawn Michaels, who's not here". Triple H explains that he heard from Shawn Michaels earlier and that he said he couldn't make the show. Hunter then decides to call HBK at home to badger him. He puts the phone on speaker and a message system answers with Shawn singing the "Sexy Boy" theme with words changed to say he's not home. Shawn then picks up and is embarrassed that they heard the message. Triple H asks where he is and Shawn explains that his daughter was sick and he was sorry he couldn't make it. HBK says he just read her a story and Hunter asked if it was the new "Unauthorized History of DX" book. Shawn says no at first, but then says he definitely read it to her. Hunter says he'll let Shawn go and tells the fans to say "Hi". Shawn says "Bye Indianapolis".

While Triple H was about to start talking about "Bragging Rights", he's interupted by JeriShow.

Hunter makes a quick joke about Big Show holding up the DX book and smiling into the camera, but Jericho takes it and slams it down. Jericho starts talking about being named the captain of Team Smackdown. Loud "You Suck" chant breaks out. Y2J puts over the success of Smackdown saying that it's a better show because he's on it. Triple H then sarcastically talks about how "great" a show Smackdown is, but says it's not better than Raw. Jericho says that although Big Show is technically apart of the Raw roster, he wants him to be on his team. Triple H then puts down Big Show by claiming everything Jericho says, Big Show does. Big Show denies that the claim and says they are equal and also says that he kind of "carries the team". Jericho doesn't like that obviously and asks him to repeat it. "You heard me" says Big Show and says he's not the one who got pinned last week. Jericho says that he wasn't the one that was the laughing stock of Sports Center when he was humiliated by Shaq. Big Show comes back with Y2J getting punked by Bob Barker. They go back and forth more until Big Show finally changes his mind and says he wants to be on Raw's team now instead of Smackdown. Triple H says they don't have any spaces open on the team unless Show "earns" his spot in a match later tonight on Raw. His opponent? Chris Jericho.

That match is next.

Big Show vs Chris Jericho

Show and Jericho come to the middle of the ring face to face. They tie up and Big Show backs him into a corner with ease. They tie up again, same result. They trade slaps in the corner with Big Show's slap getting the clear best of Jericho causing him to roll out of the ring for a breather. Big Show finally gets tired of Jericho staying on the outside and Big Show grabs him by the head and powers him back into the ring. Jericho repeatedly pushes Jericho and then pie-faces him. That pisses Show off and he throws him across the ring. Jericho then tries for the Code Breaker, but Show catches him and places him on the top rope. Jericho slaps him off the turnbuckle to the outside mat. Jericho acts like his knee is seriously injured and Show comes out to check on him asking if he's alright. The ref starts counting and Jericho tries to run it before the ten, but Show catches his leg, drags him out and slides into the ring right before the ten count, making him an official member of Team Raw at "Bragging Rights".

WINNER: Big Show

They then cut to the back with the other Raw guest host, Maria Menounos, who is asking as a backstage interviewer. They talk about the two of them being on the Raw team together, but Maria says that's not the case. Hunter has set up a triple-threat match between them and John Cena. If one of them wins, that person will be on the team. If Cena wins, they won't.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

DIVA'S CHAMPIONSHIP: Mickie James (c) vs Jillian

They lock up and Mickie takes early advantage after a series of reversals. She goes for an early cover, but only gets a one count. More reversals from Mickie until Jillian gets thrown into the corner. Mickie charges and jumps, but Jillian ducks and gives her a power bomb. She puts her feet up on the ropes during the pin and gets the three count!

WINNER & NEW DIVA'S CHAMPION: Jillian

Jillian grabs a mic and tells the photographers to gather around while she sings Lady GaGa's song, "Paparazzi". Nancy O'Dell cuts her off although Jillian tries to continue singing. Nancy announces that she called the other brands' General Managers and she made a major trade. Jillian also has to defend her title against that diva right now. Who is it? Melina!

DIVA'S CHAMPIONSHIP: Jillian (c) vs Melina

They start the match and Melina messes up her split into a pin sequence real bad. But she quickly pins Jillian for the three count after jumping on to her back and flipping it into a sit-down power bomp directly into a pin.

WINNER & NEW DIVA'S CHAMPION: Melina

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Snoop Dogg is next week's Raw guest host....

We're back with Triple H in the back talking to a cardboard copy of Shawn Michaels. Well, Shawn is on the phone actually. Hunter is discussing the "Bragging Rights" Raw vs Smackdown concept and HBK's theme music starts playing. It's Hornswoggle dressed up like Shawn and Shawn runs into the other room to see what's going on via his television. Shawn goes nuts telling him to get that stuff off and Hornswoggle beats up the cardboard copy of Shawn. He then does the crotch chop and runs off.

We cut to Santino Marella in the back with the two Raw guest hosts. He says that Access Hollywood could use him as another anchor before he's cut off by Beth Phoenix who reveals she's been traded to Smackdown. She's not happy about it and demands that Nancy O'Dell calls Theodore Long and gets it changed back. Menounes says that the fans are "ecstatic" she's leaving and Beth chokes her up against the wall until Santino says that Maria has wanted to compete in a WWE ring for a long time. The two of them will have a match tonight! Beth storms off and Santino yells at her that he faked every "organism" when they were intimate in the past.

We cut to a vignette highlighting Orton and Cenas' recent history leading to their Ironman match at "Bragging Rights".

The triple threat match between John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase is next.

John Cena vs Cody Rhodes vs Ted DiBiase

Legacy comes out together, followed by Cena. The bell sounds and the match is on. John Cena gets the early advantage until Cody Rhodes delivers a big dropkick. Rhodes and DiBiase then start double-teaming Cena. *NOTE: If Rhodes or DiBiase win this match, that person will be apart of Team Raw at "Bragging Rights". If Cena wins, Legacy is left out at the pay per view* Cena hits a double clothesline to get brief momentum, but Rhodes and DiBiase take back over and trade punches on Cena. Large "Cena" chant breaks out. Legacy hits Cena with a double suplex. They get him in the corner and kick him repeatedly. Rhodes then goes to the second turnbuckle and hits Cena with a bulldog. More double-teaming by Legacy.

They hit a double dropkick and Cena is very slow to get up. They continue trading punches and kicks pushing him back to one corner. They whip him to the other post and Cena goes down yet again. DiBiase then starts using the bottom rope to choke Cena by pressing his knee on the back of his head. Cena almost gets momentum back by knocking Rhodes to the outside, but DiBiase hits a big clothesline to regain the advantage.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

We're back and John Cena has taken control, but not for long. Another clothesline by DiBiase and he goes for a cover, but Rhodes breaks it up. He apologizes afterward and they don't get into it as a result. Cena sends Rhodes back over the top rope, but DiBiase hits him from behind. He puts him in a corner and charges with a shoulder, but Cena moves. As he recovers, Rhodes hits a swining neck-breaker and gets a two-count. Cena on his knees with Rhodes punching repeatedly. Another pin, another kick out. Knee drop to the back of Cena's head, but another two-count. Cena regroups and delivers a fisherman suplex. Goes for the pin, but DiBiase breaks it up and the two start double-teaming him again.

Legacy tries for another double suplex, but Cena reverses into one of his own. He then throws Rhodes to the outside and delivers a belly-to-belly suplex on DiBiase. Back bodydrop to Rhodes, drop toe-hold on DiBiase and he throws on the STFU. Orton runs out and distracts Cena. While he does, Rhodes pins DiBiase and gets the three count!

WINNER & 4th MEMBER OF TEAM RAW: Cody Rhodes

Nancy O'Dell comes comes on the big screen and says because Rhodes and DiBiase are obviously not getting along right now as a result of the match, they have to team up later on tonight against John Cena and Randy Orton, who are also not getting along. Orton and Legacy argue in the ring as we cut to break.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

We're back and they show some of the Indianapolis Colts are in the audience.

BRAGGING RIGHTS QUALIFYING MATCH: Jack Swagger vs MVP

Bell sounds and we're underway. MVP with a leaping clothesline gets the early advantage. He backs Swagger into a corner, but as the ref is backing him up, Swagger kicks him in the stomach and gains control ramming him into the steel turnbuckle. Swagger starts working on MVP's left arm throwing shoulder blocks and twisting it. He then charges MVP off the ropes, but MVP reverses with a belly-to-belly suplex. MVP does his "Ballin" elbow drop and goes for a pin, but only gets a two-count. Swagger then gains control and quickly hits the gutwrench power bomb for the three count.

WINNER & 5th MEMBER OF TEAM RAW: Jack Swagger

We cut back to Legacy and Orton in the back. Rhodes and DiBiase are still arguing and Orton says that the tag team match later tonight is going to be a handicap match. He's not going to tag himself in and the two of them can have Cena on their own. They then both blame the other for thinking they can get themselves over in the match by being the one to pin Orton. Randy then says that if either of them are thinking that, they can think again.

Kofi Kingston vs Evan Bourne is next in a "Bragging Rights" qualifying match.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

BRAGGING RIGHTS QUALIFYING MATCH: Kofi Kingston vs Evan Bourne

We're back from break and Kofi has the control, but Bourne reverses an armbar into a pin for a two count. Evan puts a leg lock on Kofi, but once they both get back up, Evan goes off the ropes and Kofi launches Evan into the air and nails him with an uppercut. Kofi then lands the SOS (hell of a move), but Bourne somehow kicks out. Bourne with a roundhouse kick and a knee. He goes to the top, but Kofi charges causing Bourne to jump off. Kofi then nails the "Trouple in Paradise" and gets the three count.

WINNER & 6th MEMBER OF TEAM RAW: Kofi Kingston

We cut to the back and Triple H is again talking to a bandaged HBK with Michaels actually on the phone. Nancy O'Dell and Maria Menounos are back wondering if Menounos is ready. Hunter apparently trained her for the match. Chavo Guerrero then interupts saying that he thinks Hunter and Hornswoggle have been conspiring against him. He also asks why he wasn't given a chance to compete on Team Raw. Hunter then prompts Maria to kick and she kicks Chava downstairs. We're left with a shot at the HBK cut out and Shawn on the phone saying, "If you're not down with that, we've got two words for ya...". The crowd yells "Suck It" and we go to break.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Beth Phoenix/Alicia Fox/Rosa Mendez vs Maria Menounos/Gail Kim/Kelly Kelly

Gail Kim and Alicia Fox start the match. Menounos gets tagged in quickly and throws some punches and kicks. She then pins Fox, but only gets a two count. Fox tags in Phoenix and as she talks crap to her, Maria kicks her in the knee, slaps her, and tags in Kelly Kelly. Kelly comes in charging but gets caught in a sidewalk slam. Phoenix tags in Rosa. Kelly Kelly gets the advantage back and does her backflip move in the corner. She ends up pinning Rosa and wins the match for her team. Maria's participation was kept very short as she only got in the ring once.

WINNERS: Maria Menounos, Gail Kim, and Kelly Kelly

COMMERCIAL BREAK

We're back and the new United States Champion, The Miz, comes out to the entrance way with a mic in hand. He tells the fans to show some respect to the new champion. He says that he's just been informed that at "Bragging Rights", he will be facing John Morrison, his former tag team partner and the current Intercontinental Champion. Miz claims he was the talent of the duo while Morrison was just a "hair-do with abs". Miz says that in ten years when Morrison is a nobody, he'll be the face of the Raw. That's because, of course, he's the Miz and he's awesome.

Cole and Lawler then run down the pay per view in two weeks announcing that the 7th member of the Raw Team will be decided on this week's Superstar program.

Main event tag team match coming next.

MAIN EVENT: John Cena/Randy Orton vs Legacy

Prior to the match starting, Orton gets on the mic and says that he talked with next week's guest host (Snoop Dogg) informing him that next week will be Cena's last night on Raw. He also stated that they both agreed John Cena would be in one of the biggest matches of his career on Raw next week. Cole then informs us saying that we'll find out who his opponent will be immediately following this match. Cena then comes out and we're underway with Orton standing on the outside floor and not in his partner's corner.

Cena and Ted DiBiase start the match. Cena takes Ted down quickly from the back, but as they both rise to their feet again, DiBiase elbows Cena to the head and pushes him back to his corner where Rhodes attacks him behind the ref's back. Cody Rhodes now tagged in and immediately delivers multiple punches. Another quick tag and DiBiase with a dropkick on Cena. Orton is now up on the ring apron in Cena's corner. Cena starts gaining some momentum with punches, flies off the ropes, but is caught in a big bodyslam. Rhodes is then tagged in and gets Cena in an armlock also pulling back on his head.

Cena starts powering his way up on to his feet, but Rhodes keeps the headlock grasped and takes him back down. Cena gets back to his feet and delivers a big suplex. While Orton was looking down for a minute, Cena hurries and tags him forcing him to get into the ring with Cody Rhodes. Orton gets in and Rhodes goes for a quick roll-up pin for a two count. Rhodes tags DiBiase in and he also goes for two quick pins on Orton. Orton gets up and tags Cena back in as the two look at each other pissed off. Cena then turns his attention toward a charging DiBiase and takes him down with a spinebuster. He does his Five Knuckle Shuffle but Orton had tagged himself in. Once he gets in, he immediately goes after Orton (the match is No Disqualifications according to Lawler). However, while Orton is kicking Cena in the corner, Ted DiBiase rolls Orton up from behind for the three count.

Orton is pissed glaring at Legacy on the outside as they make their way up the ramp, but when he turns around, Cena hits him with an Attitude Adjustment.

WINNERS: Legacy

WWE News: Two former talents returning to the company?

2009-10-08T21:31:00.001+01:00

Talent Number One:

As reported on various Wrestling News Websites, there was drama backstage at the TNA iMPACT! tapings Monday night as Booker T refused to do a job for Matt Morgan. According to sources, Booker has been telling people for weeks that he will be going back to WWE when his TNA deal expires, which is apparently soon (November). All of this comes after the recent Zurich, Switzerland show where Booker left the ring and refused to go back out and wrestle due to Scott Steiner sparking fans to throw things into the ring. The backstage reaction to that was "good riddance." Word is that Booker feels just like Christian did at the end of his TNA stint, but that Christian handled things more professionally. Some in WWE are already talking about having Booker T back soon.

Talent Number Two:
Former WWE performer Edward "Eddie" Fatu (a.k.a. Umaga) was scheduled to film a "shoot" interview this week, but canceled. Apparently, he feels may be returning to World Wrestling Entertainment. The two-time Intercontinental Champion was released by the company on June 8, 2009 as a result of his refusal to Enter a rehabilitation facility.

WILKES BARRE, Pa

WWE RAW Opener: Ben Roethlisberger

RAW opens with Ben Roethlisberger being introduced. He comes out to a pretty huge pop actually. He says he hears some boo's and knows there's some Eagle fans in the house. He says he wants to start off by introducing the Diva Bowl.

Diva Bowl:
-Diva Roster 1 vs. Diva Roster 2 (Babyfaces Raw,ECW,SD) Vs. (Heels Raw,ECW,SD)

Out comes half the entire Diva roster in Steeler jerseys (cut off as belly shirts). The other half of the Divas (from all three brands, by the way) comes out in white belly shirts. Gail Kim comes out in a striped belly shirt as the ref, complete with yellow flags for penalties. All Divas square off and tackle into each other like football players. Gail Kim is blowing the crap out of a whistle and throwing flags. She tries making it one-on-one in the ring, but no one listens. All Divas are battling now. Long spot where every Diva gets a chance to hit her finisher on another. Ends when Mickie James hits hers on Alicia Fox and rolls her up for the pinfall.

Winner: Mickie James/ Diva Roster 1 (Babyfaces)

After The Match: Randy Orton Interupts

Randy Orton's music hits while all the Divas are still in the ring. He starts to make his way to the ring as we head to commercial.

In-Ring Segment: Randy Orton's Challenge To John Cena

We return and Orton is in the ring by himself with a microphone and the WWE title. He tells us he defeated John Cena last night to become a six-time WWE champion.

Orton says he bets any second Cena is gonna come out here and interupt him and ask for a WWE title rematch. He tells Cena to go ahead and come out and say what he wants to say because he knows exactly what he's going to say to you. Cena's music hits. Cena comes in the ring and squares off with Orton, no mic. Orton says Cena looks awfully excited but he will not get a rematch tonight for the WWE title. The crowd boo's. Cena gets a mic and says that statement tells us he doesn't give a damn about the WWE Universe. He says he is a WWE Superstar who strives to be the best however. He says he's out here to congratulate him on his win last night at HIAC. He says some may not agee but Orton walked in the cell and walked out as WWE champion. He says he realized last night that Orton-Cena has become a rivalry. He says it has become THE rivalry. He says everytime they're in the ring against each other - it's amazing. He says having said that, he'd like to do it one more time. He says this time it'll be the match of all matches. He says an Iron Man match. He says you put 60 minutes on the clock and two men in a ring and at the end of the 60 minutes, the man with the most victories is the WWE champion. He says this match will be so legendary that this is how the rivalry ends. He says no second chances. After this Iron Man match, that's it. He asks Orton what he thinks. Orton says he see's what he's trying to do. He says if Cena somehow wins, then Orton can't get another rematch and why would he go for that. He says they will end this once and for all but on his terms. He says if Cena wins he gets the title but if Orton wins, Cena is off of RAW for good. He says Cena can go to SmackDown! or ECW, he doesn't care, but he wants Cena off his show. Cena says he'll do it. Orton says that's not all. He says no DQ's, no count-outs as well. He tells Cena to take it or leave it. Cena agrees to that as well.

Jack Swagger vs. Primo

Swagger's music hits and he comes to the ring. He has a microphone and cuts a terrible promo just reminding us that he wasn't pinned at Hell In A Cell last night. He says his goal is to remain undefeated for the rest of 2009. Primo's music hits and out he comes for a one-on-one match.

We go to the arena as the pyro explodes and Michael Cole welcomes us to the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. We see the massive Cell structure hanging above the ring. Cole and Jerry Lawler hype the RAW brand matches before we go to Jim Ross and Todd Grisham for hype on the SmackDown matches tonight.

Tonight’s first match will be inside the Cell for the World Heavyweight Title. We get a long video package showing events leading to this match and then the Cell is lowered over the ring. Out first is the World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk.

Punk comes out to some boo’s and enters the Cell for the first time. The bells toll and out comes The Undertaker with his grand entrance. Taker finally enters the Cell and slams the door shut behind him as we get ready to start the match.

Punk tries to stay away from the Undertaker at the outset of the match, hitting him with a couple of quick strikes before bailing to the floor. Undertaker follows Punk to the outside and sends him into the cage multiple times, sending him crashing headfirst into the cell wall. Undertaker props Punk up in the corner of the cell and pounds on him for a little bit before sending him head first into the cage yet again.

Taker sends Punk back into the ring, but things spill outside again when Undertaker boots Punk off the apron into the cell wall. On the floor, Taker goes after Punk, but Punk dropkicks the steel stairs into Taker’s knees, sending him down. Punk continues to work over Taker’s legs, stomping away. The crowd starts a dueling Undertaker/CM Punk chant as Punk tries to wrap Taker’s leg around the ring post. Taker fights out though, and Punk and Taker fight on the apron. Punk hits the running knee, but when he tries for the bulldog off the apron, Taker holds on and shoves Punk into the cage.

Taker hits the big leg drop on the apron and both men are on the floor again. Taker rolls Punk back in the ring and attempts to follow, but Punk kicks Taker back into the cage wall and follows after him with a suicide dive and both men are down.

Punk is first to his feet and he quickly sends Undertaker back into the ring. Punk and Taker fight each other while on their knees, neither man gaining a true advantage. When they make their way back to their feet, Taker gets the advantage with a couple of quick punches and he tries for the Tombstone, but Punk fights out. Taker continues to dominate Punk and even scores a near fall, but he can’t keep Punk down. Taker tries for the chokeslam, but Punk targets the knee again and tries for the G2S, Taker counters into tombstone position, but Punk counters out and attacks the legs yet again.

Punk goes under the ring and grabs a chair, back in the ring he swings for the fences and cracks Taker over the head. Punk goes for the pin but he can only get a two count. Undertaker pulls himself up in the corner just in time to get caught with a running knee, but Taker holds on to Punk and hits him with a big Last Ride, but Punk kicks out!

Taker picks Punk off the mat and goes for Old School, but Punk catches Taker with a kick as he comes off the top rope. Punk goes for a quick set of pins, but he can’t keep Taker down for more than two. Punk looks to be getting frustrated as he goes for the steel chair. Punk charges Taker in the corner, but Taker gets his boot up and sends the chair back into Punk. Taker hits a big chokeslam and signals for the tombstone. Taker connects with the tombstone, pins Punk, and we have a new World Heavyweight Champion.

We go right to the next match and it’s for the WWE Intercontinental Title. Out first is the Champion, John Morrison to a nice pop. Out next is the challenger Dolph Ziggler.

Both guys talk trash to each other before locking up. Morrison takes Ziggler to the mat and the two start some serious ground wrestling, trying to tie each other up with various pins and submissions. Ziggler makes his way to the ropes, causing a break, and both men are back to their feet.

Ziggler catches Morrison with a punch to the face, and he takes him down to the mat, locking in a front face lock. Morrison makes his way back to his feet and sends Ziggler into the ropes, but he quickly falls victim to a shoulder block, it’s not long before Morrison comes back with a beautiful dropkick though. Morrison hits his break-dance-y leg drop before locking in a modified sleeper.

Ziggler fights back and locks in a sleeper of his own, taking Morrison down to the mat and applying pressure. Morrison tries to fight out, but Ziggler takes him back down to the mat and switches things up into a front face lock.

Morrison finally fights out before tripping up Ziggler and hitting a big springboard cross body. Morrison goes for the Star Ship Pain, but Ziggler moves out of the way and goes for a quick cover. Morrison kicks out at two, and Ziggler goes for his high impact elbow drop.

Ziggler sends Morrison into the corner and follows up with a big splash. Ziggler tries for another pin, but he can’t keep Morrison down.

Ziggler hits a couple of impressive fireman’s carry takeovers, but while going for a big move, Morrison counters into a DDT and both men are down. They get to their feet at about the same time and square off with punches, with Morrison getting the advantage. Morrison hits a big standing shooting star press, but again, it’s not enough to keep Ziggler down. Ziggler rolls up Morrison and grabs the ropes but the ref sees it and doesn’t allow it. Morrison gets a roll up of his own, but can’t hold Ziggler down.

Morrison and Ziggler duke it out on the top turnbuckle. Morrison jumps off the top rope, and Ziggler tries for something, but Morrison grabs his legs instead and catapaults him into the corner turnbuckle. Morrison goes for his springboard kick, but he misses and Ziggler hits a big German suplex for a quick near fall.

Ziggler is up first and he hits a big rocker dropper, but again it’s only good for a near fall. Ziggler charges Morrison in the corner, but Morrison gets his feet up. Morrison goes for Star Ship Pain, but Ziggler sees it coming and launches Morrison across the ring instead. Ziggler tries for the Zig Zag, but Morrison holds on to the ropes and hits Ziggler with a big kick to the head. Morrison follows up with his finisher, Star Ship Pain, and pins Ziggler for the three.

Orton stomps at Cena’s wrist while it’s on the stairs before doing the same with Cena’s head.

Orton picks up stairs and throws them into the ring (although they almost fall back on his head). Orton climbs in the ring, and positions the stairs. Cena climbs to the apron and Orton grabs him for the rope assisted DDT on to the stiars. Cena counters thought, by putting his hands down, and he sends Orton to the floor with a back body drop over the ropes. Cena picks up the stairs and throws them over the ropes at Orton, but Orton ducks out of the way and the stairs connects with the cell. Back in the ring, Cena tries to maintain his advantage, but he quickly falls victim to the Orton backbreaker.

Orton charges Cena in the corner, but Cena gets his boot up. Cena connects with a couple of shoulder blocks and a side belly to back suplex before going for the five knuckle shuffle. Cena goes for the AA, but Orton grabs the ropes and reverses. Orton climbs back in the ring and hits the rope assisted DDT and both men are down.

Orton tries for a cover, but Cena kicks out at two. Orton begins his RKO set-up of pounding his fists on the mat. Orton tries for the RKO, but Cena counters straight into the AA. Cena goes for the pin, but Orton kicks out. Cena puts Orton on the top turnbuckle, and he goes for a top rope AA, but Orton counters with an electric chair drop instead. Orton tries for a cover, but again Cena kicks out at two. Orton punches at Cena, who’s standing on the apron, before slamming his head into the turnbuckle. Orton pulls Cena up to the top turnbuckle and tries for the superplex, but Cena fights it off. We get a Greco-Roman knuckle lock on the top rope and Cena gets the advantage. Cena tries for a top rope rocker dropper, but Orton moves out of the way and Cena crashes and burns yet again.

Orton goes under the ring to grab a chair and he slowly makes his way back into the ring. Cena jams the chair down into the back of Cena’s neck before rolling him over and hitting the front of Cena’s neck. Orton goes for another pin, but he only scores a near fall.

Orton tries for a chair assisted knee drop, but Cena moves and Orton connects with the chair. Cena locks in the STF, and even though Orton makes it to the ropes, Cena isn’t forced to break the hold. Orton eventually works his way out of the hold by crawling under the bottom rope. Orton launches Cena into the ref, and Cena locks in another STF. Orton taps, but the official is still out, so he can’t make the call. Cena tries to revive the ref, but he turns around right into an RKO, but Cena kicks out at two.

Orton traps Cena’s arms in the ropes, and Orton locks in a sleeper hold. Cena looks to be fading quickly, and he looks to be out when Orton releases the hold. The ref helps Cena out of the ropes, but Cena just falls face first to the mat. Orton punts Cena in the side of the head, and he covers Cena for the three count. Too bad the punt kick was a huge botch.

Winner and New WWE Champion: Randy Orton

- After the match, Randy Orton takes his WWE Title belt up the ramp and stares back at the ring while John Cena tries to get to his feet. Cole and Lawler try to say Orton didn’t have all the power in that leg for the punt and it’s a good thing he didn’t or John Cena wouldn’t be standing right now. We go to a WWE DVD promo.

- Josh Matthews is backstage with R-Truth, he talks about Truth’s recent feud with Drew McIntyre. Truth says life and opportunities is what you make of them. Truth says he’s been disrespected by McIntyre one time too many. Truth says he’s been fighting all his life, and he’s about to give Drew McIntyre what he’s earned.

R-Truth vs. Drew McIntyre

R-Truth is out first for this next match, rapping and dancing for the crowd. Out next is Drew McIntyre in his WWE pay-per-view debut. Jim Ross notes that Drew was personally signed by Vince McMahon.

The two men lock up. McIntyre takes Truth over with a headlock, but he quickly falls victim to a dropkick from Truth. Truth connects with a big hip toss, but it’s only good for a near fall.

Truth and McIntyre fight in the corner, but back in the middle of the ring, McIntyre gets the advantage, mounting Truth and wailing away at him. McIntyre locks in a modified face lock and the ref asks Truth if he wants to give it up.

Truth and McIntyre collide in the middle of the ring when both men go for cross body blocks at the same time. McIntyre charges Truth, but truth grabs the leg and takes McIntyre down. Truth hits a big scissors kick, which is good for another near fall. Truth tries for the axe kick, but McIntyre dodges it.

Winner: Drew McIntyre

- Randy Orton is shown with his title and Legacy comes up to him. Ted says that that was a classic match. Cody says that tonight they’ll all have to go out and celebrate their victories. Orton says that this is Hell in a Cell and whether you win or lose, you don’t just walk away. Ted says they know what they’re getting into, they’re younger and hungrier than DX. Cody says Orton is starting to sound like his old man. Orton says they’re cocky, but they have no idea what they’re getting into. Orton says that he’s not Cody’s old man, he’s the WWE Champion, and if he has something to say, Legacy should listen. Ted says Orton shouldn’t underestimate them.

WWE United States Title Triple Threat: Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz vs. Jack Swagger

The Miz is out first for this match. He takes the mic and says he will be United States Champion tonight and cuts a promo ripping on the city of Newark. He asks the mayor to ban him from the city forever. Out next is the other challenger, Jack Swagger, followed by the WWE US Champion Kofi Kingston to a nice pop.

The heels look to gang up on Kingston to start things out, but Kingston fights them both off at the beginning. It’s not long though, before Swagger catches Kofi with a lariat to the back of the head and the heels team up, stomping away at Kingston.

Miz and Swagger connect with a big double suplex, and Miz goes for the pin, breaking down the team dynamic a little bit. Miz and Swagger continue to double teamm Kingston, sending him into the corner with a double Irish whip. Miz and Swagger go for another double team move, but it’s just a trap by the Miz as he wails away on Swagger. Miz begins his assault on both Swagger and Kofi, looking fairly dominant.

Kingston is the first to fight back against Miz, and the two fight on the top rope. Miz tries for a suplerplex, but Swagger gets him in electric chair position and Kingston hits a cross body. Kingston and Swagger fight in the corner, with Swagger getting the upper hand when he hot shots Kingston on the top turnbuckle. Swagger sends Kingston into the Miz and tries for a pin, but Miz breaks it up.

Swagger ties Miz up in a tree of woe, which Miz gets out of just in time to be caught with a back suplex from the second rope. Swagger hits a Vader bomb on Miz, but it’s only good for a near fall. Kingston hits Swagger with a flurry of moves before hitting the boom drop. Miz connects with his finisher on Kingston, but Swagger gets Kingston’s foot on the ropes to break things up. Swagger connects with a lariat on Kofi and a gut wrench powerbomb on Miz. Kingston hits trouble in paradise on Swagger, pins Miz, and gets the win.

Winner: Kofi Kingston

Hell in a Cell Tag Team Match: DX vs. Legacy

The Cell is lowered over the ring and we cut to a video before DX makes their way to the ring first. Nice pop from the crowd. Before DX can make it into the Cell, Legacy attacks them from behind. Ted and Cody begin the beatdown of DX outside the Cell.

HHH clotheslines Ted over the RAW announce table and DX mounts their comeback against Cody Rhodes. Hunter clocks Cody with the monitor and DX hits a double suplex on Rhodes on to the SmackDown announce table (it doesn’t break). Ted is back in the match and he attacks Hunter out of nowhere, throwing him into the crowd.

Ted suplexes Hunter back to the ringside area just as HBK throws Cody into the barricade. Cody and HBK brawl out into the crowd, but it’s not long before HBK back body drops Rhodes back to the ringside area. Rhodes grabs the chain from the door lock and hits Michaels in the knee before running up the ramp and hitting Hunter with the chain. Cody and Ted hit Hunter with a double DDT on the entrance ramp. Rhodes connects with cross Rhodes on Hunter on the ramp and Legacy makes their way back down toward HBK. Ted and Cody double team HBK, slamming his leg in the cell door.

Legacy lock themselves in the cage with Michaels while HHH is still prone at the top of the ramp. The bell rings and this one has officially started. HBK finally realizes that he’s locked in the cage with Legacy. Legacy continue to work over Michaels, hitting a chop block/shoulder block combo. but Michaels will not stay down.

HBK grabs a chair from under the ring and throws it at Cody, but Ted is quick to the rescue, slamming HBK’s head into the cell. Cody slingshots HBK into the Cell, and Triple H has finally made his way down to the Cell. Michaels fights back against Legacy, but only for a second, as the double team advantage is just too much to handle. Hunter tries to find a way in, and HBK sends Ted into Cody, launching Cody into the Cell wall.

Legacy takes Michaels down with a well placed chair shot. Hunter grabs a chair and tries to wail away on the door lock, while Cody powerbombs HBK into the cell wall. Ted then gets HBK in powerbomb position and slams him into the other side of the cage. Hunter looks at HBK and walks up the ramp to the back. Legacy continue to taunt and work over Michaels.

Cody and Ted work over HBK’s back, sending him crashing into the cell wall multiple times. Legacy sends Michaels back into the ring where they stalk HBK. Michaels starts to fight back yet again, catching both Cody and Ted with right hands before Ted takes him down with a lariat. Rhodes stands up HBK with a chair in front of his face and DiBiase hits a big dropkick.

Rhodes and DiBiase lock in the same ring post assisted Figure Four/Million Dollar Dream submission that won them Breaking Point, and Triple H finally makes his way back to the ring with bolt cutters. Hunter is in the cage just as Ted hits the Dream Street. Hunter comes in and immediately begins to clean house on Legacy, connecting with a facebreaker on Ted before throwing Cody into his partner. Hunter hits a spinebuster on Cody and tries for the pedigree, but Dibiase is quick to break it up. HBK is back in it, back body dropping Ted out to the floor.

Hunter grabs the chain from the ref and wraps it around his fist. Michaels holds up Ted and Hunter lays into him with a big right hand. Hunter connects with a Pedigree to DiBiase on the floor and HBK drags Ted out of the Cell. Hunter and HBK make their way back into the cell with the bolt cutters and lock the door behind them. Hunter hits a big spinebuster on Cody. Hunter traps Cody’s neck in a folding chair and Michaels connects with a top rope elbow drop.

Triple H goes under the ring and grabs the sledgehammer while HBK tunes up the band. HBK connects with Sweet Chin Music just as Triple H hits Cody with the sledgehammer. HBK pins Cody and DX gets the win.

Winners: DX

- After the match, the Cell is raised and Ted rushes the ring to check on Cody. Shawn Michaels lays him out with Sweet Chin Music. DX poses over Legacy and does a few crotch chops. Hell in a Cell goes off the air with DX celebrating in the ring.
