WWE: Way It Should've Gone 2.0

[blackHEART]

FILLING YOU IN The Main Stuff

During the buildup to the Casket Match, the Undertaker hinted at this being his "last rodeo", so who knows if Undertaker will retire after Fastlane.

A parking lot incident involving Cesaro would happen, where Cesaro would have two broken ribs. Cesaro was convinced it was Seth Rollins, but instead, Rusev takes responsibility, which leads to a match with Cesaro and Rusev at Fastlane being booked. However, Cesaro's very skeptical still.

Alberto Del Rio would get John Cena in his rematch, and Del Rio said he's confident that he's the better man, he challenged Cena to make the stipulation, in which John Cena said it can be a Submission Match. Del Rio would reconcile with Zeb Colter for a night, before he'd put him in a Cross Armbreaker to send a message to Cena. Cena would chase Del Rio off, but Alberto knew the work was done and everything was in place for Fastlane.

Curtis Axel and Sheamus would find common ground, with how little they've been used on WWE programming, and have decided to align together to get more TV time, feeling there's an injustice within The Authority.

[blackHEART]

The Dudley Boyz and Lucha Dragons def. The Ascension and Prime Time Players in the Pre-Show
Kalisto would hit Salida del Sol on Darren Young and Sin Cara would follow that up with a high-angled senton. The Ascension would throw both Lucha Dragons out, but not until The Dudley Boyz came in and clotheslined them to the floor. The Dudley Boyz would then hit a 3-D on Titus O'Neil, and then to a stirring Darren Young for the win.



After the Royal Rumble package, the commentators are welcoming everyone to Fastlane when they're interrupted by Curtis Axel and Sheamus. Axel and Sheamus said they're holding this show hostage until they're put in a match. Triple H furiously comes out and shouts at them orders to get out of the ring, when a familiar music to NXT fans hit, and the titantron goes to an old film... It's Simon Gotch and Aiden English, The Vaudevillains! The two introduce themselves by their first names, and they get in the ring saying if they want a fight, they'd be more than happy to make their WWE debut right now.

The Vaudevillains def. Curtis Axel and Sheamus
In an impromptu tag match, and the WWE debut of The Vaudevillains, Simon and Aiden hit Whirling Dervish to beat the protesting Axel and Sheamus.

We are brought into a video package of John Cena winning the United States Championship last year at WrestleMania from Rusev, and his journey with the title before losing it to Rollins. He'd win it back, but lose to Del Rio and leave WWE for some time. We followed Del Rio's title reign, before Cena came back and declared himself wanting the title back, and Cena finally winning it! Brings us to tonight.

John Cena(c) def. Alberto Del Rio in a Submission Match to retain the United States Championship
In a long wrestling match, Cena was finally able to break Del Rio and force him to tap to the STF.

The New Day came out to taunt The Usos, saying they've touched the gold for the last time, and they'll need to learn how to settle without championships, and what better place to be trained to be life-long losers than Cleveland.

The New Day(c) def. The Usos to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships
Xavier Woods tossed the trombone in the ring to Big E, who got a Superkick from Jey, but as the ref was disposing the trombone and giving Xavier a piece of his mind, Kofi had the title and smashed Jey's head in as The New Day retained.

Seth Rollins was interviewed by Renee Young who asked if Rollins feared being in a Casket Match with The Undertaker, and though Rollins respected the legend of The Undertaker, him winning the world title tonight is only a tale. Rollins says he doesn't fear The Undertaker, but what Taker should be concerned about is not only his swan song, but if he'll be able to breathe on his own tomorrow.

Charlotte(c) w/Becky Lynch def. Tamina w/Team BAD to retain the Divas Championship
Charlotte ended Team BAD's hopes with the Figure Eight, but a strange sight afterwards with Becky holding on and seeming as if she wants the Divas Championship now. Charlotte was in disbelief and shrugged it off, leaving Becky in the ring alone.

Cesaro got introduced to his interview as the Royal Rumble winner, and said he feels fine to compete tonight, but went on record saying he doesn't trust Rusev or believe he was the assaulter. Cesaro said he hopes Rollins walks out tonight champion so he can get what's coming to him, but for now, Rusev will be his crash dummy.

Cesaro def. Rusev
Cesaro would lock in the Sharpshooter on Rusev, out of respect for his former tag partner Tyson Kidd, and get the victory.

Kevin Owens is getting interviewed, saying he will not rest and will stop at nothing to regain his Intercontinental Championship and put Sami Zayn in his rightful place. Then we watch the video package of how this came about.

Sami Zayn(c) def. Kevin Owens to retain the Intercontinental Championship
Zayn hit the Helluva Kick and beat Owens, but JBL pointed out controversially that Owens' ankle may have been under the bottom rope, but obviously the ref didn't catch it.

The video package plays for the six-man tag up next, but before the Wyatt Family come out, they appear on screen and Bray Wyatt says he ended his feud with Ambrose and Reigns a while ago, but Daniel Bryan, there's unfinished business.

The Wyatt Family w/Bray Wyatt def. Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns
Wyatt chose to sit this one out, but was a factor when he held Bryan's leg while Reigns passed out to the lifting arm triangle choke.

The Authority's Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are watching the television intently for the main event when Cesaro walks in with a smirk. Cesaro asks Triple H if he's scared, when the COO reaffirms his trust with Seth Rollins to get it done. Cesaro asks if Undertaker wins and, like the rumors spreading, retires tomorrow night, what then? Cesaro smirks at Triple H having to hand him the title, when Triple H says over his dead body and Cesaro shrugs before leaving. We then see a video package put together for The Undertaker, and then Seth Rollins walks out during it to cut it off and hit his music.

Seth Rollins(c) def. The Undertaker in a Casket Match to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Rollins and Taker were both on the steps when Rollins leaped backwards to hit a Pedigree onto the casket. Seth would roll Undertaker into the ring, open the casket, and put Taker in and shut it to win. Rollins would then exit with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, as we look at the closed casket before the show ends.

[blackHEART]

WWE has released the news that The Undertaker will be at WWE Raw tonight. Many were speculating beforehand that The Undertaker was retiring at Fastlane, considering Undertaker said he was gearing up for his "last rodeo". So some feel that he'll be retiring tonight at Raw after falling short to WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins last night.

[blackHEART]

February 22 2016

The dong hit for The Undertaker to come out. Undertaker got chants like "Please Don't Go" from the fans, and Taker said he's been doing this for a long time, since 1984 and WWE since 1990. Undertaker said he's spent over half his career in this company, with his 51st birthday coming next month. He cites his championship history, including a 7-time world champion, a Royal Rumble winner, and even won the Hardcore Championship at a time. Undertaker said his wife told him about a rumor going around social media saying he was retiring tonight, but that won't be happening until April 4th, the night after WrestleMania in Dallas. The fans applauded that they'd get one more match. Undertaker said he was given the opportunity to choose the 23rd and final victim, but can't seem to decide between Roman Reigns... Dolph Ziggler... John Cena. Undertaker said he'll allow those men to decide, in a Fatal 4 Way match next week. Undertaker said one of the men will rest in peace, before he rides off into Death Valley's sunset, before the dong hits and he leaves.

After commercial, Curtis Axel and Sheamus came out to call out the Vaudevillains, who they heard was there at Raw tonight, and wanted to teach them a lesson. Aiden and Simon came out to accept the challenge, their first match ever live on Raw.

The Vaudevillains def. Curtis Axel and Sheamus
With Sheamus falling to Whirling Dervish last night, the victim was Curtis Axel tonight in Aiden and Simon's Raw debut.

Charlotte was getting her interview after successfully defending her Divas Championship last night against Tamina, with Becky Lynch with her, Renee Young asked who or what is next for her. Charlotte said she'll let The Authority determine that, but she's proven to overcome all challenges, but every diva is beneath her on this roster in terms of natural talent. Charlotte walks off as Becky steps up and innocently asks Renee "what about me".

The Miz def. Neville
Neville got tripped up going for the Red Arrow, and got a Skull Crushing Finale in defeat.

John Cena was stopped by Stephanie McMahon with the United States Championship on his shoulder. Stephanie built the honor up that The Undertaker chose John Cena as one of the wrestlers who could wrestle him in Undertaker's last match. Stephanie put the "Undertaker versus John Cena" match as one fans dream of, and it's truly a once in a lifetime thing. Cena recognized the honor to be considered and he'll definitely win next week's match, but Stephanie pointed at the title resting on his shoulder. Stephanie says Cena's worked so hard to bring that title prestige, and that title's getting defended on WrestleMania because of Cena, but she simply can't have Undertaker competing for the United States Championship. Cena asked for Steph to get to it, when she said if he expects to be in next week's match with a chance to wrestle The Undertaker at WrestleMania, he'll need to relinquish the United States title. Stephanie would walk away, with a conflicted Cena looking at his gold, when Stephanie comes back to let him know he's wrestling in the main event tonight against Bray Wyatt.

Sami Zayn def. Stardust in a non-title match
Sami Zayn hit Stardust with the Helluva Kick, pulled him away from the ropes, and scored the pin.

The New Day walked out to the ring, mocking The Undertaker from earlier tonight, saying he should've retired 5 years ago, he'd be lucky to not dislocate his hip walking to the ring at WrestleMania, and then Big E said with slow of a walk he does, he'll probably turn 55 before he gets there.

The Usos def. The New Day w/Xavier Woods in a non-title match
The Usos got revenge, a taste of it, with Jimmy hitting a splash from the top onto Kofi Kingston.

Roman Reigns is backstage when Renee Young knocks into the boys locker room, and Dean Ambrose and Daniel Bryan are there also. Renee wanted to ask Roman about being selected by The Undertaker for his possible final opponent at WrestleMania, and Reigns talks about the honor, but deflects the attention to Ambrose, who wrestles Erick Rowan tonight.

Charlotte w/Becky Lynch def. Emma w/Kaval in a non-title match
Emma fell to Charlotte via a Natural Selection, and afterwards Kaval consoled his gal.

The commentators announce that Jeff Hardy will be live at Raw next week, when King Barrett was inside the ring declaring himself first to be in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania. He then noticed smoke coming from the ramp and started complaining to get that smoke out, but then a familiar music hit... Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs as "FINN BALOR" appeared on the titantron and out came the former NXT Champion. Finn Balor went down and Barrett asked if this was who he was facing, as he shook his head as the WWE Universe LOVED Finn Balor, and stoked to see him here at WWE.

Finn Balor def. King Barrett
A Coup de Grâce would uplift Balor in victory in his debut.

After commercial, The Undertaker was backstage talking to Triple H when Undertaker has to look down at Finn Balor, who walks up to him. Finn says he wants to be in that match, and he wants Undertaker at WrestleMania. The Undertaker was caught off guard by Finn's direct wishes, when he says he's watched him at NXT, but there's no place like the big times. The Undertaker asked if he was ready for it, and Finn Balor said yes, when Triple H seconded that, before C'ing himself out of their business. The Undertaker looked at Finn Balor and said he likes his work, before nodding.

John Cena was getting ready for his main event match next, when Stephanie McMahon came up to Cena and asked what it was now. Stephanie said she had good news and bad news. Stephanie said the bad news was that she'll need Cena's decision by the end of tonight's show, but the good news is he might not even have to give it to her! Cena looked confused, and Stephanie said that his match in just a few moments is now for his United States Championship. John looked down at it again, and Stephanie said it would be so hard to fight for the title, just to let it go.

John Cena(c) def. Bray Wyatt to retain the United States Championship
As John Cena beat Bray Wyatt in a grueling match, using the AA, he looked down at his United States Championship, and looked at the WrestleMania sign, before laying the title on the ground, pointing at the WrestleMania sign and said "I'm coming for you, Taker, I'm coming". John Cena would leave the ring, with the United States Championship laying on the sweaty mat, before a graphic pops up that the one to wrestle The Undertaker in his final match ever would be decided in next week's Fatal-4 Way between John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, Finn Balor, and Roman Reigns, as Raw goes off the air.

February 25 2016

Busy Thursday Night?

Stephanie McMahon would begin Thursday's show with the United States Championship in hand, letting everyone know the ultimatum she gave John Cena, and Stephanie would take a few minutes burying the character of John Cena, saying all he ever worked for and proclaimed he wanted for this title one year ago, means nothing now that he threw it away and gave up, that he gave up on his country. Stephanie said she'll determine a new United States Champion who loves this country more than anyone else. She said some could be from America, Mexico, Russia, wherever, as long as they loved the title and country more than John Cena did. She said an 8-man tournament would be SmackDown-exclusive until the finals at WrestleMania 32, and it begins, tonight!

The Dudley Boyz would beat The Ascension, as a 3-D was hit on Viktor. The Dudley Boyz would shout at The New Day they were coming after them for the titles.

Alberto Del Rio would beg Stephanie for a spot in the tournament, but after being denied, he said he'll then go to WrestleMania and compete in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and said he'd win.

In the United States Championship tournament, two quarterfinal matches took place. Bo Dallas would beat Stardust by disqualification, as Sheamus and Curtis Axel would attack Bo Dallas, citing frustration he'd be in this tournament and them not. Also, Neville would defeat Kalisto with the Red Arrow to advance in the tourney. Next week's matches are said to be The Miz versus Ryback, and Jack Swagger versus Rusev.

Becky Lynch would wrestle Emma, as Emma said Becky's presence at ringside "distracted" her, but Becky Lynch would get the Disarmer in on Emma, as Emma tapped out to that.

Dolph Ziggler would give off a promo, apologizing for not being at Raw on Monday, but said he was thrilled to hear about a legend as great as The Undertaker to pick him as one of the four men competing for the opportunity to be the final opponent, and it's huge. Ziggler however, said he won't be the 23rd victim, but only the 2nd and final man to beat Taker at WrestleMania.

In the main event, Daniel Bryan would defeat Luke Harper, and Bryan shouting at Harper, Strowman, and Rowan to tell their leader that Bryan wants Bray Wyatt.

[blackHEART]

February 29 2016

The Royal Rumble winner Cesaro came out to speak, but before he got a chance, The Authority walked out. The Authority not only bashed Cesaro's lack of English skills, but also the fact he won the Royal Rumble, he won his match at Fastlane, yet he was nowhere to be found last week. Cesaro then pointed out that Rollins didn't make an appearance either, when he explained he was out looking for further evidence and that there's proof that Rusev wasn't the one to attack him. Triple H and Stephanie see a bluff, but Cesaro says he'll be here next week to show the entire world. Cesaro began to exit the ring, when Triple H broke the news that Cesaro was opening tonight's show... Kaval came out with Emma right behind him for the first match.

Cesaro def. Kaval w/Emma
Cesaro avoided a third Warrior's Way, but lifted Kaval up for a Very European Uppercut, locked in the Sharpshooter, and got a tap-out victory.

John Cena was preparing in the back for the Fatal-4 Way match tonight to determine who will be The Undertaker's final opponent, when Alberto Del Rio came up to mock Cena. Del Rio said that Cena never cared about his country, and everything he's stood for has been a huge lie. John Cena told Del Rio to back off, and Del Rio challenged Cena to a match on SmackDown, and if he wins tonight, how about putting his spot at WrestleMania on the line. Cena chuckled and said if Del Rio wants to fight him, he will, but there was a reason that Undertaker didn't choose Mexico's Greatest Export.

Ryback def. Jack Swagger, The Miz, and Rusev w/Lana in a Fatal-4 Way Match
With the remaining quarterfinalists in SmackDown's United States Championship Tournament, Ryback would send a huge message to his opponent Thursday, The Miz, pinning him after Shell Shocked.

Sheamus and Curtis Axel walked out, Curtis saying they've been getting social media outrage from the WWE Universe for their actions on Thursday, and they won't stand for it anymore. Axel then offered up Sheamus to Bo Dallas for a match right now.

Sheamus w/Curtis Axel def. Bo Dallas
Axel would hold the ankle of Bo Dallas, to give Sheamus enough time to gear up a Brogue Kick, giving Mr. Money in the Bank a win.

A promo would take place as Bray Wyatt would be on the titantron and television screens across the world, accepting Daniel Bryan's challenge, but naming the place at WrestleMania in Dallas.

Becky Lynch w/Charlotte def. Naomi w/Team BAD
Though Charlotte walked out mid-match, Becky would lock in the Disarmer and make Naomi tap.

In the back, Becky would go after Charlotte for answers of why she deserted her, when Charlotte said it was only to teach her that she can do things on her own. Charlotte said she beat Team BAD on her own, and that she could too.

The music hit for Jeff Hardy to come out to the ring. Jeff Hardy spoke about being back in the WWE and nearly winning the Royal Rumble as the 12th entrance, though Hardy plugged and wished the best of luck to Cesaro over Seth Rollins, but Hardy said he needs to tame a beast, and that's why he's here tonight. Hardy said since the Royal Rumble, Lesnar's kicked him in the gonads, has F-5ed him through the announce table, and it's gotten to a point things need to be settled. Hardy says last time one had to call the other out, he got kicked where it hurt, so now, it's him calling Brock out. Instead, Paul Heyman came out no further than the stage and interrogated Hardy, asking if he actually wants to provoke the Beast Incarnate. Hardy said he's been known to be wrestling's Evil Kneivil, so Brock Lesnar doesn't scare him. The music of Brock Lesnar's hits and it startles Hardy, who gets in a fighting stance, but the music cuts off and Heyman laughs, saying Lesnar isn't in the building tonight, but tells the production crew to hit his music again, as Heyman laughs on his way out.

Lucha Dragons def. Prime Time Players
Salida del Sol by Kalisto ended it for the Prime Time Players, as Darren Young was the one who fell.

Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were spooked by Cesaro's claim earlier tonight and asking what they're going to do, when Sheamus and Curtis Axel head in, asking if they could take Bo's place in the semifinals for the United States Championship, when Triple H laughed. Stephanie then butted in, giving in, asking if they wanted a title. Stephanie said that Sheamus already has a guaranteed world title in his future, if it doesn't expire before Seth were to retire, but Curtis Axel needs to win a title, so how about he gets another chance to carry on his father's legacy, when he challenges in a #1 contenders match for the Intercontinental Championship next week. Sheamus shook his head, coming in to place himself in the United States Championship Tournament, but instead Axel gets himself handed a #1 contenders match, but Axel is quick to accept.

Backstage, Dean Ambrose is congratulating Daniel Bryan, who Bryan says it's all but official, but he finally gets his hands on Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania, because The Authority's yet to approve. Ambrose then hops on Roman's wagon, saying he's got the win tonight and can wrestle The Undertaker. Now Ambrose says all that has to be done is he can get his hands on one of the Wyatt Family, they'll be good for WrestleMania!

Advertised for next week is, per Paul Heyman, that Brock Lesnar would be at Raw, and for Thursday's SmackDown, we have Dean Ambrose versus Erick Rowan.

SPOILER: Click to show

Finn Balor def. Dolph Ziggler, John Cena, and Roman Reigns in a Fatal-4 Way Match
Finn Balor was able to hit Coup de Grâce, on Reigns, and was able to win the match, as well as to be the final opponent for The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32.

After the match, Dolph Ziggler took the loss hard as Finn Balor had left. Ziggler was wrecking the ringside area, when Cena came over to calm him down, but caught a fist and then a Superkick. Dolph Ziggler would get a chair and smash Cena's back with it until it was bent and broken. Dolph Ziggler then exposed the canvas underneath and hit a modified Zig-Zag as he then flicks his damp hair down at Cena, receiving boos.

March 3 2016

Busy Thursday Night?

Sheamus would put Curtis Axel through a "trial run" before Monday, he said, against former Intercontinental Champion and a familiar foe of Sheamus, Daniel Bryan. Bryan would hit the Knee-Plus and beat Axel, and as Sheamus was trying to hold back his laughter and giving Axel advice afterwards, the lights went out, and Bray Wyatt appeared and hit Sister Abigail on Bryan.

Becky Lynch would continue to prove herself as a legitimate divas competitor, beating Tamina in singles action. Sasha Banks will get her turn at Becky Lynch on Monday.

In the remainder of the United States Championship quarterfinals, Rusev would end Jack Swagger with The Accolade, and The Miz would avoid another Shell Shocked and transitioned into a small package to beat Ryback. Set up for the semifinals next week is Bo Dallas versus The Miz, plus Neville versus Rusev.

An unsettling dispute happened in the ring between 3 tag teams, first The Usos, then The Dudley Boyz, and then the Lucha Dragons. They all felt they should be competing at WrestleMania for the WWE Tag Team Championships. However, The New Day came out and said they've got each numbers on speed dial, but the COO came out to beg a differ. Triple H said that the three tag teams will have to compete in four nights on Raw, the winner of the triple-threat tag will be the #1 contenders and go on to WrestleMania to challenge The New Day.

Dean Ambrose would go to bat versus Erick Rowan alone, despite Roman Reigns advising against it, but Ambrose would win the match by DQ as Braun Strowman got in to attack Ambrose right before Rowan would've lost the match. Harper, Rowan, and Strowman all attacked Ambrose on a 3-on-1 assault before Roman Reigns tried coming to the rescue, but fell short of expectations as well.

Despite not winning on Monday, John Cena still wrestled Alberto Del Rio in the main event, though the commentary team focused on their guest, Dolph Ziggler, who refused to answer any questions of his actions on Thursday. Right before Cena hit the AA and won the match, Ziggler said he'd speak on Raw and tell everyone why, before getting up and leaving before Cena had the chance to go after him.

[blackHEART]

March 7 2016

Triple H came out to hype next month's WrestleMania, being within 30 days of the big event. He emphasized The Undertaker's final match, and says tonight his opponent Finn Balor will have a 1-on-1 match on Raw, going against a former world champion in Alberto Del Rio. Triple H is interrupted by Cesaro, which Triple H threatens to suspend Cesaro for the disrespect, or even fire. Triple H says he'd just rather see Cesaro get his rear end handed to him, right now, against Bray Wyatt!

Cesaro def. Bray Wyatt w/Wyatt Family via Disqualification
Cesaro got his way out of a disastrous Sister Abigail and began to get on a roll, but The Wyatt Family got inside and attacked Cesaro, calling for the bell. After the match, The Wyatt Family continued to assault Cesaro, until the rescue of Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Daniel Bryan took place.

After the commercial, an 8-man tag main event was made for tonight's show, with The Wyatt Family taking on the team of Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Daniel Bryan, and Cesaro! After that announcement's made, Triple H is seen backstage and Curtis Axel and Sheamus come up, interrogating Triple H on who Axel's opponent is later tonight, but said they'll find out later.

Becky Lynch def. Sasha Banks
Footage shown of Sasha telling Team BAD to stay in the back, was not a wise move, as Sasha got herself trapped and submitted to Becky's Disarmer.

Dolph Ziggler came out, to a flashback after last week's main event where Ziggler took his frustrations out on Cena. Dolph said he did everything he could to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but it wasn't good enough, and then he did everything he could to win the Royal Rumble, but it wasn't good enough, and then he did everything he could to be known as the second and last man to beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania, but it wasn't good enough. Ziggler said he was tired of not being good enough to achieve his goals, and he thinks it comes from pampering to the fans. John Cena came out and spooked Ziggler, while Cena reaffirmed that Dolph is indeed good enough, and that he shouldn't blame the fans, because they've helped him get to where he is today. Dolph began to see the light, apologized to Cena and the WWE Universe, and shook his hand. Heath Slater then walked out, saying as much as he enjoyed this love fest, he came to declare his spot in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and that Cena and Ziggler should too considering it's their best chance to be at WrestleMania since last week. Slater said he'd love nothing more than to beat John Cena to gain some momentum. Ziggler patted Cena on the back and got in his corner for the next match.

John Cena w/Dolph Ziggler def. Heath Slater
An Attitude Adjustment was delivered for Heath Slater, as well as an STF to make Slater tap out. Ziggler would get in the ring and celebrate with Cena, raising his arm for the cameras.

Paul Heyman was backstage when Jeff Hardy came by and asked where Brock was, when Heyman said he would be arriving at the arena shortly. Hardy simply said good, and told Heyman he'd be waiting for him.

Bo Dallas and Neville def. The Miz and Rusev w/Lana
A tag team match of the lasting four men in the United States Championship Tournament semifinals this Thursday, former foes Neville and Bo Dallas aligned to take out the competition, with Dallas hitting a Running Bo-Dog on The Miz to win, and then Neville sending a message with a Red Arrow to The Miz.

Dolph Ziggler was backstage, hyped after Cena's win over Heath Slater, when Dolph suggests they should team up. Cena tried laughing the idea off, but Dolph said this Thursday against the WWE Tag Team Champions, The New Day. Ziggler ran off to talk to The Authority before John Cena could get a word in.

Finn Balor def. Alberto Del Rio
In the tree of woe and about to be defeated with a deadly double foot stomp, Finn threw Alberto off, got out of the tree of woe, and Balor hit Coup de Grâce for the win!

Cesaro is about to knock on The Authority's office when Ziggler comes out, pats Cesaro on the back and heads off with a huge grin. Cesaro then walked in and asked why Triple H had it out for him, with having The Wyatt Family attack him earlier tonight, and being put in a second match of the night, when Seth Rollins isn't even around. Stephanie chimed in and said that Seth Rollins will be at Raw next week, assuring Cesaro that. Cesaro said he looked forward to seeing Rollins, but Stephanie says he shouldn't look ahead, because he's got the 8-man tag match tonight, and he also has a match on Thursday against Ryback.

Curtis Axel headed out to the ring with Sheamus, waiting for their opponent, when an intellectual Damien Sandow arose to a huge ovation from the crowd. Axel thought it was a big joke that Sandow was back to being this great intellectual, but this is the man who was competing to face Sami Zayn now.

Curtis Axel w/Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow for the Intercontinental Championship's #1 Contendership
This match ended in a no contest when Kevin Owens would come out and attack both, though Sheamus left Axel to dry once Owens came out. Kevin Owens shouted he wanted Sami Zayn to himself.

After a break, Brock Lesnar would come out with Paul Heyman. Before Paul could get a word past his introduction, Jeff Hardy came out, saying he had a bone to pick with Lesnar, when Heyman said that Lesnar also had a bone to pick with him, and that is why Brock wanted to make this proposal to you, a match at WrestleMania 32 in Dallas. Jeff asked why they had to wait until WrestleMania, jumping Lesnar, as the two were forced to be separated by security.

Dudley Boyz vs. Lucha Dragons vs. The Usos for the WWE Tag Team Championships' #1 Contendership
Much like the Intercontinental Championship's #1 Contendership Match, this ended in a no contest, as The New Day came out and attacked all three teams, though couldn't get the upperhand and scrammed. However, Triple H would come out announcing that since nobody won this match, and neither team lost, there would be a Fatal-4 Way at WrestleMania for the tag titles, which New Day was vocally against.

Stephanie was on the phone with her dad Vince McMahon, when Kevin Owens walked in. Stephanie jumped on Kevin's case that it was Vince McMahon on the phone, and he called to say how he was disappointed with the amount of chaos tonight, and he was partially to blame. Owens said all he wants is Sami Zayn, and Stephanie said if he wants it so bad, he'll have to win his match on Thursday, against Curtis Axel and Sheamus. Owens said he had no problems with a handicap match, but Stephanie said he'll have a tag team partner... Kevin looked confused and joked about it being Damien Sandow, but Stephanie said if Kevin wanted it so bad, he'll have to learn to coexist for one night with the Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn. This got under his skin, as Kevin Owens walked out.

Cesaro, Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns def. The Wyatt Family
In a night of chaos, Ambrose would score a pinfall with rolling Erick Rowan up and using the ropes as leverage, but Bray wouldn't let him or his family forget it, as they pummeled the four men, with Bray lastly hitting Sister Abigail on Cesaro as Bryan's life was choked out of him by Braun Strowman, as Raw went off the air.

March 10 2016

Busy Thursday Night?

The United States Championship Tournament semifinals would commence, with Neville ending up hitting the Red Arrow on Rusev to win the kickoff match to SmackDown. Later on in the night, The Miz would ruin a "Neville versus Bo" match at Mania, getting out of the Running Bo-Dog into a Skull Crushing Finale. This sets up Neville versus The Miz for WrestleMania 32.

A Michael Cole sit-down interview aired with guest Jeff Hardy, where he officially accepted Brock Lesnar's match at WrestleMania.

A tag team match between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn went in their favor, but Owens let Zayn finish the work, hitting the Helluva Kick on Sheamus. Owens deserted Zayn, in which Zayn picked up the mic and shouted he didn't have to win this match and could've laid down and not hand Kevin a title shot, but he did because he wants to shut him up once and for all in Dallas, and if he has to put the Intercontinental Championship on the line to do so, he'll walk into WrestleMania with the title, kick Kevin's rear, and then leave still Intercontinental Champion.

The Vaudevillains would get a nice victory against the Prime Time Players, with Darren Young taking the fall.

Cesaro would get his due tonight against "The Big Guy" Ryback, but beat him with a Spinning Springboard European Uppercut!

In the main event, Dolph Ziggler and John Cena teamed up against The New Day. Ziggler and Cena worked amazingly well together, and the normal tag team frenzy would ensue, but Cena and Ziggler were able to calm the storm. Cena would hoist Kofi Kingston on his shoulders for the AA, when Dolph would land a perfect superkick. Dolph would walk away with boos, as Xavier pushed Kofi to pin Cena, gaining a win for the WWE Tag Team Champions.

The show begins with The Wyatt Family in their dark place, as Stephanie McMahon walks in enamored with it all and the mystery revealed to her. Bray asked what he owed this pleasure, and Stephanie said he came through last week, so she was permitting him three matches tonight. Stephanie told Bray he could make 3 single matches tonight, involving his family versus Ambrose, Reigns, and Bryan. Wyatt is pleased with this decision, and says he won't let her down.

The opening video package goes and Seth Rollins comes out to gloat. Rollins responds to chants of the crowd "Where Were You" as Rollins said he was an A-Lister doing things around the world the fans couldn't possibly dream of. Cesaro would come out to confront Rollins, but as Cesaro entered the ring, Seth would step out to the commentary table. Cesaro would say he's been wondering where Seth has been all this time too, and he must've stayed in good in-ring shape, because he could give the fans a preview for WrestleMania. Triple H would step out, saying that won't happen, but if Cesaro wants to fight, he's more than willing to do so. Triple H said in the main event tonight, Cesaro would go against The New Day's Kofi Kingston and Big E, and his partner, none other than Xavier Woods! Rollins laughed as the underlying truth to the tag match is a 1-on-3 handicap against The New Day.

Daniel Bryan def. Braun Strowman via Disqualification
Bryan avoided the triangle choke all match, and began to gain some steam, when Bray Wyatt would pop out of nowhere and hit a crossbody on Bryan, and then a Sister Abigail. Wyatt would order Strowman to put in the triangle choke, when Reigns and Ambrose rushed the scene, making Wyatt and Strowman flee.

The Dudley Boyz are being interviewed and they trash The New Day for being in other business and unfocused at the difficult task of defending their titles at WrestleMania, because normal 25% odds to retain are quickly diminished when those other 3 teams are The Usos, the Lucha Dragons, and The Dudley Boyz themselves. The Usos come into the fray and ask why The Dudley Boyz got this interview time, as Jimmy takes over their interview time and say the Lucha Dragons are inexperienced, The Dudley Boyz are too old, and they're the perfect combination of experienced youth to win at WrestleMania. The Dudley Boyz then offer a match later tonight against The Usos, and they accept.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are leaving the trainers room, as they make a pact to stick together tonight, not leaving the others side, because it's obvious Bray's out to seek and destroy.

The Usos def. The Dudley Boyz
A big splash off the top for Jey gets Bubba Ray Dudley's shoulders on the mat for 3 seconds.

John Cena walked out furious after what happened on SmackDown, and shouted for Dolph Ziggler to get out there, which Ziggler only went as far as the stage, when he said he couldn't believe Cena was gullible enough to believe the jibberish he spoke last week, and then to tag team with him, it just was too good. Cena said he was disappointed in what Ziggler has done recently, but Ziggler cut him off and tore into Cena. Dolph then flashbacked to last week when Heath Slater made those remarks, well, Ziggler said there was his last good shot to make WrestleMania, and that's to take out the golden boy himself, John Cena. Cena asked if that was what he wanted and he'd stop all this bad boy act, then he's on for Dallas!

Roman Reigns w/Dean Ambrose def. Erick Rowan
Reigns would hit the Superman Punch combination with the Spear to put Rowan away.

After the match, Reigns and Ambrose would stay inside the ring for Dean's opponent, all knowing to be the man who came out, Luke Harper, for the match next!

Dean Ambrose w/Roman Reigns def. Luke Harper
In the best match of the night in this series, Ambrose would end it with Dirty Deeds to put Luke Harper to bed.

Becky Lynch was backstage with friend and Divas Champion, Charlotte, as Lynch begged Charlotte to come out to the ring tonight when she faced Natalya, as Becky recalled Charlotte winning the NXT Womens Championship by beating Natalya, and that buttered Charlotte up to convince her to come out later tonight.

Neville def. Kaval w/Emma
Ending the match with the Red Arrow on Kaval, Neville would immediately be sent into the ringpost shoulder-first by The Miz, and then nailed with a Skull Crushing Finale.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns were backstage, still pumped after tonight, and Ambrose said he wants some more of The Wyatt Family. Dean asked Reigns the likelihood of getting Bray's sheep to the slaughter at WrestleMania, and Roman shrugged his shoulders, but with a smile on his face.

Becky Lynch w/Charlotte def. Natalya
Lynch would understand a veteran Natalya wouldn't give up so easily, so she used the "Bex-Plex" to defeat a former Divas Champion in front of the current one, Charlotte.

Advertised for this Thursday is Finn Balor's SmackDown debut against The Miz and a surprise guest at SmackDown this Thursday, that the fans won't want to miss.

Big E and Kofi Kingston def. Cesaro and Xavier Woods
Xavier never attacked Cesaro, but would distract him best he could and refused to be tagged in. Cesaro would then attack Xavier and then handle his own against Big E and Kofi Kingston, until Seth Rollins came out to distract Cesaro, and that's when it all fell apart and Cesaro was hit with Midnight Hour by Big E and Kofi Kingston.

Seth Rollins would come all the way down and hit a Pedigree on Cesaro, as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion celebrated with the WWE Tag Team Champions as Raw went off the air.
