[blackHEART]

December 28 2015

Raw begins when they use film caught earlier today, of Seth Rollins in a suit arriving with The Authority, as the champ boasts about not competing tonight. Triple H then says that Rollins has lost his edge, losing to Dolph Ziggler, and then getting pinned by Neville on SmackDown. Triple H said it's not in his best interest to go into the Elimination Chamber on a losing streak, and that's why he's been placed in a match tonight with Dean Ambrose.

To open Raw, Reigns hit a Spear on Wyatt that ended things for good between the two, that all began at Money in the Bank 2015.

Neville def. The Miz
In a rematch Neville requested from last week, he was able to avoid last week's mishap and hit the Red Arrow.

Seth Rollins was in the back complaining about facing Dean Ambrose tonight, and this boiled Triple H over, now making it for the TITLE! Now Rollins could not even walk into New Year's Revolution with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. This did shut Rollins up, as he pouted out of the office.

Del Rio said that Christian is retired and he shouldn't even be standing in a pro wrestling ring. Christian said that he was with Edge in town, and knowing what tricks Del Rio and Rollins had up their sleeve, he wasn't going to stand by. Alberto told Christian he should've, because he's challenging him to a match at New Year's Revolution. Christian contemplates, before Del Rio blurts something out in Spanish that Christian seemed to have understood, before accepting the match this Sunday.

Dolph Ziggler def. Kevin Owens in a non-title match
Sami Zayn provided commentary until costing Owens the match, by preventing him on hitting the Cannonball, stepping into a Superkick. Zayn was asked by Cole and JBL why he did it, and said Owens would've done the same thing, and Sunday he'll be taking the title.

Sasha Banks is backstage getting interviewed with Team BAD backing her, and Banks declares she'll be walking into the first Raw episode of 2016 as Divas Champion. Banks then asks for an excuse to leave, to watch Naomi kick Becky Lynch's rear next.

Stephanie McMahon is walking backstage and she sees Summer Rae talking to some of the employees, and Stephanie walks up to them and intimidates the employees, asking if they have work to do, in which they scurry off. Stephanie encourages Summer when she needs anything, to come to her... But she doesn't leave that without a word of advice, saying if she even looks at her husband again, her career will be squashed. Summer gives one of the Principal Owners of WWE a nasty look behind her back when Steph walks off.

Bo Dallas def. Konnor (w/Viktor and Stardust)
Dallas was able to score a major upset over Konnor, getting a Running Bo-Dog hit on the monstrous force of The Ascension, scurrying away with another Un-BO-lievable victory!

Busy Thursday Night?

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins interrupted an irritated Dean Ambrose, as Rollins mentions that his title defense impressed The Authority so much, he'll be entering the match at #6 this Sunday. Rollins then informs Ambrose that he's in a match against The Miz that starts now. Seth stuck around for commentary, as Ambrose downed The Miz with Dirty Deeds, before signaling over to Seth he'll take the title.

United States Champion Alberto Del Rio and Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens took on the team of Sami Zayn and Christian, with Christian's first match since March of 2014 due to concussion issues. Zayn avoided Owens majority of the match, while Christian hit the Unprettier on Owens to score a huge fall!

Sasha Banks had another match with Natalya, prevailing victorious.

The New Day warmed up with a match versus Los Matadores, winning that one. The New Day used their promo before to spit on the Mexican heritage, which the Lucha Dragons used a backstage interview later to say they weren't too pleased with it.

Bray Wyatt's bad week got worse, losing to Dolph Ziggler via a Superkick.

Bo Dallas went 3-0 through the Cosmic Wasteland, defeating Viktor on SmackDown. It was announced that Stardust would get another crack at Dallas on Sunday.

A video package is shown for Charlotte and Sasha Banks, another NXT rivalry renewing itself tonight.

Charlotte(c) (w/Becky Lynch) def. Sasha Banks (w/Team BAD) to retain the Divas Championship

January 4 2016

As the commentators advertise tonight's United States Championship Match between Christian and Del Rio, The New Day walk out to celebrate their title victory last night. They begin to celebrate as the balloons fall after their time on the mic, until The Dudley Boyz come out to spoil the party. The Dudley Boyz called The New Day a disgrace to not only the tag division, but to pro wrestling. Then The Ascension come out, and they target The Dudley Boyz, calling them one Fall of Man from being extinct. Konnor and Viktor put The New Day on notice, because they want to dominate like they did in NXT. Then Jimmy and Jey Uso come down and say they have been waiting a long time to be in the title picture again, and they won't let anyone get in the way, as the three teams stare off with The New Day watching. Triple H came out and said they need a main event tonight, and he doesn't see a reason why either of those teams should be left behind. Triple H announced a blockbuster elimination tag between the four teams, for The New Day's tag titles, in the main event! The New Day wasn't too pleased with the decision, however. They made that clear after the commercial, complaining to Triple H, who didn't want to hear about it.

Sami Zayn def. Stardust
Sami Zayn hit a Helluva Kick on Stardust to win, then called out Kevin Owens after his cheap title retention last night.

Seth Rollins is in The Authority's office, holding his title in a suit, as he laughs at Alberto Del Rio and The New Day defending his title tonight. Triple H says to just enjoy his night off. Triple H said tonight is his night, as the commentators then clarify, saying Triple H has a big prize for Seth Rollins tonight after his big victory last night in the Elimination Chamber.

Bo Dallas def. Heath Slater
After Dallas put away Slater with a Bo Dazzler, he's blindsided by King Barrett, who finishes things off with a Bull Hammer.

Divas Champion Charlotte and Becky Lynch are backstage, and Charlotte is being interviewed about last night's victory over Sasha Banks, and after giving Banks a lot of credit for her effort last night, she is looking towards the future. Charlotte says she'd like to put NXT behind her, and seek for a new challenger.

Cameron def. Tamina (w/Naomi)
Cameron used a Wheelbarrow Victory Roll to score the win on her first match on Raw in a while.

Christian gets an interview, which he uses to speak of how much this opportunity means to him, fighting his way back from injuries, coming back and working towards getting a title match. Christian says he proved he could beat Del Rio once, and will do it again tonight, as Christian then goes out for the match up next.

Alberto Del Rio(c) (w/Zeb Colter) def. Christian via Decision to retain United States Championship
Christian became wobbly, and the referee decided to call it despite Christian's will, as Del Rio keeps the belt.

Triple H is in the office alone looking down at his phone, when Summer Rae comes in with a smile. Summer Rae asks where Stephanie is, and Triple H answers she's out on business. Triple H asked Summer's reasoning to being in there, and Summer was told just to say hi to her boss. Triple H nodded, as Summer then messed with her hair and left.

Rusev w/Lana def. Dean Ambrose
With ailing effects from last night's Elimination Chamber, Rusev knocked Ambrose out cold with The Accolade.

King Barrett's getting into a car outside, when Renee Young catches up to him to ask about why he attacked Bo Dallas. He reminded Renee that he is King Barrett, and he's tired of talentless pricks getting airtime, when a King of the Ring is supposed to be worshiped. Barrett leaves it at that before getting in his car.

The Miz def. Cesaro
The two met when Miz qualified for the Elimination Chamber, but this was more indecisive with Miz winning with a controversial rollup, where Cesaro's grip on the rope went unnoticed.

Triple H came out and talked about last night's tremendous victory inside the Elimination Chamber, before inviting the WWE World Heavyweight Champion to the ring. Triple H bragged of Seth's accomplishment, and he presented Rollins a plaque with a picture of Rollins after the match. Seth and Triple H pose to the cameras, when Dolph Ziggler interrupts the moment. Rollins said he's beaten him again and again and again, and should get lost because if it's another title shot he wants, he won't be getting it. Dolph said he's not out here for that, but Rollins should know the real surprise Triple H has for him. Rollins gives a look at Triple H, when Dolph announces he was backstage and ran into a nice face, who said he's got you at the Royal Rumble... Moments passed until the Valkyries sound and Daniel Bryan comes out to the YES chants from the crowd. Triple H scratched his head as Rollins couldn't believe, as Bryan made his way down to the ring. Bryan smirked up at Rollins as Ziggler ate it up, loving it. Rollins pushed the plaque into Triple H's chest, before measuring Bryan up and hoisting the world title up, before Ziggler puts his foot in and lands a Superkick! Bryan and Ziggler work the YES chants together, as we go to commercial, ready for the tag title match.

FATAL FOUR ELIMINATION TAG TEAM MATCH for the WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS

Notes:
- The Dudley Boyz are eliminated by The Ascension; using the Fall of Man on Bubba Ray Dudley.

[blackHEART]

Christian made a return on December 21st, saving his brother from an attack by Alberto Del Rio and Seth Rollins, and has feuded with Del Rio, competing in two matches coming back from injury concerns. Christian is said to have a limited amount of times he can wrestle, and the current plans are for him to go all the way through WrestleMania 33 in 2017.


Finn Balor has lost his NXT Championship to Tyler Breeze, who finally overcame the hump at an NXT Takeover. Now the only question remains is when Finn Balor will get called up? Wrestling websites are speculating that he'll have a rematch, and then Hideo Itami might wrestle Balor if Itami's cleared in the near future. Balor is expected to be called up within the next six months.


The Miz is among the handful of talents that's been in rumor circles that WWE doesn't know what to do with him exactly. The Miz was in the buildup and in the match for the Elimination Chamber, being the first one eliminated, and then having another match on Raw with Cesaro. Some at WWE love his mic skills and the money he draws with movies, that he can be a viable part of WWE programming, so they want to use him more. Unfortunately with Seth Rollins as a heel champion on top, The Miz can't reenter the world title picture right now.


Jeff Hardy and TNA have officially went their separate ways. This will get the buzz going among wrestling fans, considering things begin gearing up with WrestleMania Season. Jeff's brother Matt Hardy is still with TNA as their world champion, so that could rule out a possible match involving The Dudley Boyz at WrestleMania 32. If Jeff Hardy were to indeed work with WWE again, there's the Royal Rumble Match, which he could likely be part of, and Jeff Hardy would be a big draw for WrestleMania.

[blackHEART]

January 7 2016

Busy Thursday Night?

Seth Rollins opened Thursday's show, when out of frustration he called out Triple H. Rollins questioned why Triple H would do this to him, and Triple H insisted they not talk about it here. Rollins continued to go on, until Triple H had enough. Triple H then shouted he'd be in action tonight against Roman Reigns, before slamming the microphone and leaving his world champion there to pitch a fit.

Alberto Del Rio and Zeb Colter cut a promo, using footage of Christian's concussion to further themselves along. Del Rio would then make R-Truth submit to the Cross Armbreaker.

Charlotte was at commentary for Naomi's victory over Natalya, while Tamina managed Naomi with no sign of Sasha Banks. Naomi signaled over to Charlotte that she should be next for a shot at the Divas Championship.

Summer Rae tried getting in close with Triple H, stopping by with him in the hallway with an extra cup of coffee, asking to walk back to their office to discuss business.

Announced for Monday's Raw would be that Daniel Bryan would be live, and have a chance to speak after returning on 2016's first Raw.

For the main event, Roman Reigns scored a big pinfall over the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, packing in a Superman Punch. After the match, Roman Reigns officially declared himself for the Royal Rumble!

[blackHEART]

January 11 2016

After the commentators hype Daniel Bryan's words later tonight, the former WWE Tag Team Champions walk out, calling it a travesty about last week, being forced into an impromptu tag team match with three other teams, and not being prepared. They saw it as a sign of disrespect to one of the more consistent champions of 2015. The New Day then declared their rematch for the Royal Rumble, in which they'll have enough time to prepare. The Ascension made their way out and said they pinned The New Day last week, so if anyone should be next in line for The Usos, it should be them. They argued until Jimmy and Jey came out, when they made an interesting proposal. Jimmy and Jey said they'll face them in singles competition tonight, Jey versus one of The Ascension, and Jimmy versus one of The New Day. The Usos said if their representatives win, they'll put their titles on the line at Royal Rumble against them. The Usos did put in and say it comes with a twist, as if neither win tonight, they'll be forced to sit back and watch The Usos reign from afar. The New Day and The Ascension agreed to the terms laid out, when Jimmy Uso felt he could go for some action right now, as he darted to the ring and The Ascension left to ringside.

Big E (w/Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) def. Jimmy Uso (w/Jey Uso)
A Big Ending propels The New Day to the Royal Rumble PPV, with a chance to regain their WWE Tag Team Championships, while The Ascension went early on the attack on Jey Uso, throwing him into the steel steps, and Jey was complaining of his shoulder.

Jey Uso is getting checked on after the commercial with Jimmy right there, as Triple H went up to them, saying they asked for it. The Usos shoot the COO a dirty look, before Triple H shows his compassionate side and asks if he'll be able to go tonight. Jimmy tried to refute it, but Jey was adamant he was wrestling tonight. Triple H was fine with that, as he gave the information that Konnor's requested to be the one to fight Jey tonight. Triple H is then approached by the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, who starts off by complaining to Triple H about Daniel Bryan, as Triple H doesn't want to hear it and walks off.

Cameron vs. Naomi (w/Tamina) ends in a Double Count Out
Naomi dove over the top rope and landed on her former best friend, and instead of getting each other in, they fought each other on the outside to the count of 10.

Divas Champion Charlotte walked out afterwards, telling them they were both impressive last week, and tonight as well. Charlotte did say to be a real champion, you have to pin someone. Charlotte then said she's come back from talking with Stephanie McMahon, who said that an official #1 Contenders Match will take place on SmackDown of this week. Charlotte told the ladies if they want a shot at greatness, they'll have to make sure they have a different end result on Thursday.

Bo Dallas def. Fernando (w/Diego and El Torito)
After winning with a Running Bo-Dog, Dallas challenged King Barrett to a match at the Royal Rumble PPV because he doesn't mind pulling double duty, insinuating he's competing in the Royal Rumble Match.

Sami Zayn's backstage, expressing his frustrations in an interview over why he hasn't been confirmed for another shot at Kevin Owens and the Intercontinental Championship, and he takes a shot saying the main roster is run different than NXT. Triple H enters the picture and asks if he wants Owens, and said that KO has a match up next. Triple H tells Sami if Owens is unsuccessful, he gets him at the Royal Rumble. Triple H wishes Zayn good luck, because he snickers at the opponent of Owens, being Curtis Axel. All of a sudden, Rollins then comes up behind Triple H and continues to complain over his shoulder once again, as the COO's laughing mood stops and he eyerolls his champ and walks away again, as Zayn turns to the monitor to watch the Intercontinental Champion.

Curtis Axel def. Kevin Owens in a non-title match
Axel was able to defeat Owens by a small package rollup, after Zayn came to ringside for a better view of the match, then getting a chance to reach up and kick Owens with the referee's back turned, then Curtis took advantage, ensuring Zayn a title match against Kevin Owens.

The Miz is backstage gloating about his victory over Cesaro next week, and he trashes the IWC for praising Cesaro's in-ring skills, yet he can't beat the Most Must-See Superstar in WWE History. Cesaro then steps into the picture and told Miz last week was a fluke, but it won't happen again, as they're set to square off next.

Cesaro def. The Miz via Disqualification
The Miz felt the match slipping out of his fingers, so he resorted to a blatant low-blow to make sure Cesaro couldn't gain satisfaction by pinning him.

Summer Rae walks out of the divas locker room and comes face-to-face with Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie said she warned Summer about staying away from her husband. Summer's explanation of just speaking business and him being the only one there, that didn't amuse Stephanie. Stephanie said that Summer Rae can see some in-ring action on SmackDown against Becky Lynch.

Alberto Del Rio (w/Zeb Colter) def. Neville
Alberto hit a patented foot stomp while Neville was hung up in the tree of woe, after trying to execute a Red Arrow but tumbling badly.

Triple H is in his office when Curtis Axel walks in, where Axel proceeds to tell Triple H "I told you so" after beating the Intercontinental Champion. Triple H expressed that if it wasn't for Sami Zayn, then Kevin Owens would have bulldozed through him. Triple H said he'll give Curtis Axel seven days to prepare for his next match, that'll determine if he'll get in the Royal Rumble. Curtis Axel asked who it would be against, and before Triple H could answer, Seth Rollins made another appearance, hollering about Daniel Bryan once again. Triple H got fed up and walked out of his own office, as Rollins and Axel exchanged looks.

Konnor (w/Viktor) def. Jey Uso (w/Jimmy Uso)
Jimmy Uso sat back and watched a brutal beatdown on his brother, before it ended with a Headscissors Armbar, which Jey had no choice but to tap out, which means The Ascension will get a shot to claim their first tag titles at the Royal Rumble.

The COO left the bathroom and he was met immediately by his world champion, and Triple H finally had it and shouted enough, silencing Rollins. Triple H said that Daniel Bryan is moments from going out there, and Seth will stay in the back and hear what he has to say then.

Daniel Bryan headed out to close the show and talked about his injuries, and that he's finally medically cleared by any and every doctor to return to in-ring action. Bryan says he's sat at home watching Seth Rollins weasel his way out of everything, and he disagrees with Seth's ways as champion. Triple H then comes out and drops a bombshell that Rollins VS Bryan isn't official yet. Triple H said though he's cleared, that he'll have to make sure he's ready. Triple H told Daniel Bryan he's proven to be more than a B+ player, but he hasn't been proven to stay healthy, by referencing Christian as someone who is a decent wrestler, yet hasn't remained healthy. Triple H said that on SmackDown, he'll be facing Rusev, and if he can get past Rusev, he'll be in, as that wraps up Raw.

January 18 2016

Before the show begun, the commentators hyped a contract signing between Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. But starting out the show, was Curtis Axel walking out to the ring. Axel said that he's been preparing all week, including DDP Yoga, to fight for his shot to be in the Royal Rumble this Sunday. Axel mentioned he was never eliminated from last year's Rumble, and said whoever his opponent is, come out now. Moments wait until the opening to Next Big Thing starts up and the crowd goes nuts as Paul Heyman comes out to survey the crowd. Brock Lesnar follows and Curtis Axel can't believe this.

Coming back from commercial, The Authority comes face-to-face with Lesnar and Heyman.

After Lesnar and Heyman walk off, Triple H and Stephanie whisper, as Curtis Axel walks up, holding his ribs, asking if he's in. Stephanie contains herself and cheek-kisses her husband before saying she has to go take care of some business, before leaving Triple H alone with Axel, as he just facepalms.

Sami Zayn and Cesaro def. Kevin Owens and The Miz
Teaming up two matches at the PPV this Sunday, Zayn hit a Helluva Kick on The Miz before pinning a former Intercontinental Champion, before mouthing off with Owens, who scurried away before the end of the match.

Sasha Banks comes up to the Divas Champion now, and Charlotte makes a comment referring to Sasha's disappearance since New Year's Revolution. Sasha says she'll see Charlotte in the ring.

Stephanie McMahon came to the ring, calling out Summer Rae. Stephanie compared herself to a remote, but Summer pushed the wrong button. Stephanie said that this Sunday, Summer's got a match versus Emma, but to Summer's surprise, has a match up next against Emma's companion in NXT, Dana Brooke!

The Lunatic Fringe said he's got a rematch against Rusev from a couple weeks ago, but if he can't redeem himself, he shouldn't even be in the Rumble, and that he might not show up! Ambrose walked out before Reigns could talk Dean through it.

In the office, Seth Rollins is with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, who has questions about tonight's contract signing. Rollins brings up the question if Daniel Bryan is even medically cleared, which Triple H confirms he is. Stephanie tries to instill confidence into her WWE World Heavyweight Champion, saying Daniel Bryan has always been a B+ Player, but to cement the legacy and the world title reign, it's a must that Rollins takes on Bryan.

Sasha Banks (w/Team BAD) def. Charlotte (w/Becky Lynch) in a non-title match
The ref was accidentally knocked out and Tamina took out Becky Lynch, which served as a distraction, for Naomi to come in with the Rear View, and Sasha covered Charlotte for ages.

The ring's set for the contract signing as Triple H and Stephanie McMahon come out to conduct it. The introduce Seth Rollins to begin with, and Rollins takes the time to talk about what he'll do this Sunday at the Royal Rumble. Then Daniel Bryan's introduced, and before he got the chance to respond to Seth Rollins, Stephanie reaffirmed that Daniel Bryan's a B+ Player. Bryan got the mic and said he proved Stephanie wrong when he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, beating The Authority's henchman Batista and "The Authority's 2013 Flavor" Randy Orton. Bryan got inside Seth's head by saying he was The Authority's 2014 Flavor, and after this Sunday, they might just spit him out and try something else. Seth signed the contract and pushed it to Bryan, and immediately after the name's pinned, Rollins attacks Daniel Bryan. Seth wrecks the set before laying him out, and then brings a couple chairs inside the ring. Seth is threatening with a Con-Chair-To, until Dolph Ziggler storms the ring and leaves Rollins scurrying. Dolph Ziggler checked on Daniel Bryan, before Ziggler shouted over to Rollins, that his title reign will come to an end this Sunday, as Raw goes off the air.
