Daniel Bryan is the World Heavyweight Champion!

That’s right last night at the conclusion of Big Show vs. Mark Henry, Bryan cashed in his Money in the Bank and stole the world title away, not from Mark but from Big Show.

Show had finally won the world title for the first time in about 9 years to be knocked out by Mark and then have his gold snatched away by Daniel Bryan.

The event itself was good but it did seem to miss some chaos that we are used to on this sort of PPV.

The event kicked off with Zack Ryder taking on US Champion Dolph Ziggler in what was a great opening contest.

The Long Island Ice Z finally got his shot and finally walked away with the US Title his first singles championship in WWE. Zack’s future is looking bright but let’s hope he doesn’t burn out like John Cena did.

After that match we cut back stage to Booker talking to Alicia Fox and getting attacked by Cody.

Cody obviously trying to avoid the match later in the night or just making sure Booker is not at 100%.

Next was a Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Titles finally seeing AirBoom back in action after Evan’s suspension.

On screen it looks like it would be any normal match but a lot may have been hanging in the balance other than the titles.

As Evan had been recently suspended for failing the drug test WWE may not have wanted to keep him with a title and push him down the cards, this could of lead to the removal of AirBoom and also Kofi suffering as well. If AirBoom were to lose at TLC all of that could have happened. Luckily AirBoom did win and retain the Tag Titles.

With their new T-Shirts and other merchandise the future of AirBoom may be bright.

Their opponents, Primo and Epico also looked to have a future in the Tag division performing well and showing classic style and personality. Rosa Mendez is also a welcome addition to the team. Looks like Hunico or Sin Cara Negro has been dropped from this story and pushed down the cards to Superstars as his main rival is out on injury.

Next was a pretty good Tables match between Wade Barrett and The Viper Randy Orton.

It was a good back and forth contest but it was Randy who took the win with a surprise RKO as Wade jumped from the turnbuckle to slam Randy through a table below him. Randy’s Snake like reflexes came into play as he sprang from the table catching Barrett and coming down in an RKO causing Barrett’s legs to go through table.

Not the most brilliant of endings but acceptable.

Beth Phoenix emerged next to take on former Divas Champ Kelly Kelly.

A much better Divas contest again seeing another longer than usual match up and both Kelly and Beth shone through out.

The ending was a bit messy but Beth came out the victor.

Booker T made his way to the ring next to once again in be jumped by Cody and be taken to the back by trainers. The match looked like it would never happen.

With that match once again on hold we move into the Sledgehammer Ladder match between Triple H and Kevin Nash which was a match that really did show its age.

Kevin Nash being in his early 50s and Triple H being early 40s neither are in their prime, this showed more on Kevin than it did Triple H. If this match was being fought just a few years prior the limits could have been pushed further and I would have found it more entertaining, but it just lacked that buzz that the two men used to bring back in the day.

Triple H was the man to grab the Sledge and use it on Kevin, after a pedigree and another hit from the hammer Triple H took the win.

Earlier in the night Jack and Sheamus had a promo resulting in the next match. It was nothing special but was entertaining, a good way of showcasing both men and put a push on Sheamus further up the ranks as he won with a boot to Jacks face.

Mark Henry went head to head with Big Show next which would be there third encounter.

Big Show “hurt” his hand early on being played out well by the big man and became Marks focus of the match.

The match was short and lacked buzz but Big Show took the win after still being able to knock Mark out with the injured hand.

During celebration Mark attacks Big Show and DDT’s show onto a pile of Chairs. The crowd saw it coming as chants for Daniel Bryan came from the front row. Daniel was down the ramp quick as lighting and cashed in on the downed Big Show, no work needed just a quick pin and Big Show’s title reign came to an end before it even began.

Big Show stayed in the ring stunned but didn’t seem angry, but Bryan may have just put himself between a rock and a hard place a Triple Threat for the World Title maybe in the foreseeable future maybe even a Fatal 4 Way depending on what happens with Kane.

Booker T was then shown backstage saying he will still go ahead with his match. So next up is the young vs. old, Cody vs. Booker T.

Even with the two attacks Bookers character didn’t show much of the effects and Bookers performance was just as good as it has ever been.

Booker did lose to the second generation star but let’s hope he stays in the ring and off the announcers table.

Lastly was an interesting Triple Threat TLC match for the WWE Title. In my opinion it did lack that buzz again but it was a good match that saw some rather unique moments.

During the match Ricardo tried to climb a ladder and retrieve the title on behalf of Alberto Del Rio. He was cut short by CM Punk, after being stopped though Ricardo handcuffed Punk to the Ladder, Alberto then attempted to climb the ladder and CM Punk was forced to break the ladder in a way of escape and stopped Del Rio in the process.

Now free from the ladder Punk spent the rest of the match wearing the handcuff which became a handy weapon.

Later Punk found himself handcuffed to the second turnbuckle of the ring by the Miz, while stuck in his predicament Alberto and Miz attempt to retrieve the Belt. CM Punk’s only way of freeing himself was to remove the turnbuckle altogether, which he did.

As Del Rio and Miz fought atop two ladders Punk undid the turnbuckle as quickly as possible, as soon as it was undone the second rope flopped to the mat and Punk made a dash up the ladders.

He stopped Miz and Alberto sending them back to the mat and then climbed down and gave Miz a GTS.

Quickly back up the ladder and the Title stays with CM Punk.

A great end to this PPV.

Overall I give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars, although it was a solid PPV it still lacked a buzz and chaos that we are used to for this style of PPV.

2012

Now 2012 is just round the corner and the date looms for the return of a Superstar, or someone else.

I have been doing some looking around seeing what people’s theories and predictions are and 3 in particular stand out.

The most obvious one is Chris Jericho, relating to the wording and his original entrance to the WWE as Y2J as 2000 was meant to be the end and everyone was on about Y2K. The (Y)ear 2012 (2)nd of (J)anuary in the video is claimed to be the end of the world as we know it, and he will come back and claim what is his. Other videos mention best in the world which is what he claimed to be. So maybe he will come to claim that name from CM Punk who is the current best in the world as well as the WWE title?

Theory number 2 is Batista. One of the passages read in the one of the clips is from what is called the Leviathan which was one of Batista’s early ring names.

The last theory, and most unlikely is Shane McMahon and the end of the PG era. The little girl that is in the latest video is meant to tell us when this person will arrive, who could that little girl be representing? Signs could point to Stephanie and there for the person being bought back maybe Shane. Claiming what is his could be in regards to him being the true heir to WWE and taking it back from Triple H and/or John Laurinaitis. Bringing the end to the world as we know it may refer to the end to the PG Era.

All of the above is theory and are rumours from across the web and nothing is of course confirmed.

That being said in my opinion I think it will be Chris Jericho as he is the most obvious even though he has said that he is in Hawaii on the date.

Questions for you.

So what did you think of TLC?

What are your theories on the 2012 return?

Well this will be my last blog of the year so I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New (Y)ear, we wait to see what (2)012 will bring and I will see you in (J)anuary.

Matty.D signing off for 2011!

Masked Kane Returns!

 

You read that title right, Masked Kane is back! Last night on the special 3 hour addition of Raw for the Slammy’s came to a close with Kane’s return, or should I say resurrection. Kane returned during the final match of the night of Mark Henry vs. John Cena. During the match Fire boomed on the stage and the lights went out, Kane’s video played and his music blared as Kane appeared at the top of the ramp wearing new wrestling gear and strange black mask. He came to the ring and Mark was quick to leave. Cena still groggy receives a Choke Slam. Kane then blasts his Fire from the ring posts, the lights turn red and the music plays again as Kane lifts the black mask to reveal another mask underneath similar to his last before he was unmasked way back when. Not only was Kane re-masked but he has also grown his hair out to old style and length.

The night also saw the reappearance of Road Dogg, Lita, Mick Foley and Tony Atlas to present different awards throughout the night.

The night started with Booker T and the now speaking Hornswoggle presenting the award for the “Tell Me I Did NOT Just See That” Moment of the year.

The winner was Good Ol’ J.R for his dancing skills against Michael Cole. This lead into a shockingly bad “Rap Battle” Between J.R and Cole, even worst so because J.R forgot his rap which he tweeted later.

Next Mick Foley and “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase Sr. presented the award for Holy S#@! Moment of the year.

The winner was Mark Henry and Big Show for the ring collapse at Vengeance. Big Show accepted the award before he went to head to head with Wade Barrett.

The match ended on a DQ as Wade brings a chair to the ring to have it punched back into his face.

Pipe Bomb of the year was next presented by former DX member Road Dogg, not someone I expected to see on WWE TV again yet there he was but I don’t think we will see much of him again.

The winner of the award was the creator of the phrase “Pipe Bomb” CM Punk.

He accepted the award accompanied by a manikin dressed like John Laurinaitis back in his wrestling days. CM Punk proceeded to embarrass the Interim GM by showing a very cheesy tribute video featuring clips from John’s wrestling days as well as time as head of talent relations.

Next up was the great looking Lita, a Diva from the past that was actually able to perform. If you don’t know who Lita is or what she can do look her up. This woman has fought in Steel Cages, gone through tables, flipped from the top rope on numerous occasions as well as almost breaking her neck jumping out of the ring and hitting the barricade. Lita is what current Divas should aim to be like.

Lita presented the award for Most Divalicous Moment of the year. Kelly Kelly won for a roll up pin to win her first Title but in my opinion it is an honor that should have gone to one of the Divas of Doom. Natalya was in the nominations for performing a Sharp Shooter on Eve and Alicia Fox at the same time and Beth was nominated for her top rope Glam Slam from Survivor Series.

The Divas champ and former Diva of the year Beth accompanied by Natalya came out to mock Kelly but Beth got a Slap for her troubles.

Santino Marella and the Bella twins presented the award for OMG moment of the year. The winner being Undertaker for kicking out of the Tombstone at Wrestlemania which was delivered by Triple H.

The Undertaker obviously wasn’t there but Triple H was. After being absent for the last 7 weeks on injury the King of Kings made his return and cut a great promo for his match against Kevin Nash this Sunday.

Next was the award for Trending star of the year presented by Tony Atlas and David Otunga. This was more unique award. The winner of the award would be the superstar that Trends first on Twitter during their Fatal 4 Way match.

The participants were, Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes and Daniel Bryan. The match was brilliant and was the best match of the night by far.

The winner of the match was Dolph Ziggler but winner of the Slammy was Zack Ryder.

Zack’s celebration was short lived though as Dolph attacked Zack taking the Slammy for himself.

The injured Christian was next to present the award for Game Changer of the Year. The winner was The Rock for accepting John Cena’s challenge for Wrestlemania next year. The Rock was obviously not present so John Cena accepted the award on his behalf and took the chance to put more heat on their match to happen next year.

The Miz and Alberto Del Rio tagged up to take on their TLC opponent and WWE Champion CM Punk who was teamed with the Viper Randy Orton.

Miz and Alberto picked up the win after Wade Barrett pulled Randy off the apron.

After the match Randy went after Barrett leaving Punk in the hands of Alberto and Miz. Punk soon found himself with his arm locked in a ladder as Alberto applies an Arm Bar.

Goldust and Vicki Guerrero presented the award for WWE A-Lister of the Year. The winner was Snookie from Jersey Shore for her appearance and match at Wrestlemania.

Snookie accepted the award via a Satellite message.

Sheamus was meant to have a match next against Jinder Mahal, but Jinder was running his mouth as he came to the ring and as he stepped through the ropes Sheamus booted him in the face and  left.

Rey Mysterio presented the biggest award of the night, Superstar of the Year. The reason it’s the biggest isn’t because it’s Superstar of the Year but because us the fans actually got to vote for this one.

CM Punk won as he is the Best in the World, better than all other superstars of this generation.

After Punk’s recent beating he was unable to accept the award so John Laurinaitis came and accepted on Punk’s behalf.

TLC

Well this weekend will see WWE’s last PPV of the Year TLC. Here is a quick list of the matches.

Intercontinental Championship

Cody Rhodes vs. Booker T

That’s right Booker T is making his way from the announcers table and to the Ring. Booker has annoyed us all for months with his drivel as a commentator but it will be great to see him back where he should be, in the ring.

Let’s hope he keeps wrestling and stops commentating altogether.

US Championship

Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder

After a lot of fighting Zack Ryder finally gets his shot at the US Title, but to get it John Cena had to give up his place in the WWE Championship match.

John Cena doesn’t have a match at all at this PPV, something that doesn’t happen very often while he is an active superstar. Expect a promo from him and some backstage appearances throughout Sundays show.

Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett

This feud has been getting hotter over the past few weeks and I think we are in for a great match. Randy is meant to pick the stipulation for the match but still has not announced anything. Signs point to a Table match. If Wade wins expect him to set his sights on the World Title.

Triple H vs. Kevin Nash

Sledgehammer Ladder Match

This is a more unique match, instead of a championship or briefcase hanging above the ring a Sledgehammer will be in its place.

You don’t win though by retrieving the Hammer like you would in your standard Ladder match; the person who retrieves it is legally allowed to use it. The winner will come when one man pins or submits the other.

It’s an interesting concept but I feel it may ruin the aspect of a Ladder match. The enjoyment of a Ladder match comes from the fight and struggle to retrieve the item above the ring, as retrieving the Sledge doesn’t win the match I feel we may lose some of that suspense.

Either way it will be great to see these two classic stars step back into the ring.

World Heavyweight Championship

Mark Henry vs. Big Show

Chairs Match

I am hoping that the chairs will make this match better than there last encounter but I don’t have high hopes for this match. That being said with the return of Kane we may see him get involved and possibly cost Mark the World Title.

WWE Championship

CM Punk vs. The Miz vs. Alberto Del Rio

Triple Threat TLC

What should be a great match is the first ever Triple Threat TLC, even though we are in a PG era this should still shine.

Like I said before John Cena was meant to be in this match but he gave up his place to give Zack another chance to get a match for the US Title. It is good to actually have him out of the spot light for once and shine the light on other members of the WWE, it won’t be long though and he will be back in top position.

2/1/2012

For my American readers that is a British date, for you it is 1/2/2012. The reason I bring this date up is because it marks the return of another superstar. The teasers that have been on YouTube as well as during shows suggest Undertaker but to be sure we will have to wait till the 2^nd of Jan 2012.

Questions For you.

How do you feel about Kane’s return and his new look?

Do you agree with the Slammy results?

Who you think will be returning in 2012?

That’s all for now Matty.D signing off.

Ring Collapse at Vengeance!

Last night WWE put on an absolute gem of a PPV, unique, different and had some amazing moments.

The main point to mention is the ring collapsing during the Big Show and Mark Henry match. The match was a better than usual Big Man matches and it could have gone either way. Mark kicked out after Choke Slams and Show kicked out after the World Strongest Slam, it was quite exciting. The ring was already showing signs of weakness from the two big men and when Mark Superplexed Show from the Turnbuckle the ring collapsed under the weight from the opposite corner. Ok this was obviously planned; the post that seemed to cause the ring to fall must have been rigged in some way to cause it to fall like it did.

Also on a side note I know this isn’t the first time this has happened, and a lot of you may remember to, those who are newer to the WWE won’t know of this.

Back in June 2003 Big Show had a match on SmackDown against the now UFC star, Brock Lesnar. Brock also Superplexed Show off the same turnbuckle and the ring collapsed in almost the exact same way, the after math of that match was also very much the same as this one.

If you want to watch that match click HERE.

So not only did that match end as a no contest as both men were escorted from the ring by EMT’s , Show also  on a small flatbed vehicle, but the following WWE Championship match between John Cena and Alberto Del Rio went ahead in the damaged ring.

The WWE Championship match starts slow but picks up as this one of kind never before seen match went on. The match did pick up and went further than the broken ring. It made its way up the ramp, and backstage. The match was a nail biter and it could have gone either way as both superstars came close to being down till the count of 10, at one point Cena was buried under a load of metal yet was still able to climb out before the count of 10.

Back out into the arena and Cena is thrown through a giant V as part of the staging, Del Rio then sets up a Table and lays Cena on it before climbing the nearby staging in an attempt to jump off, Cena was quick up though and pulled down Del Rio through the table below, even then Del Rio still rose. Back at the announcer’s tables and Cena looks to be the winner as he gives Del Rio an Attitude Adjustment through the Spanish Announcers table. As Del Rio was about to be counted out Cena is attacked by The Miz and R-Truth who was victorious earlier in the night thanks to the help of Kevin Nash.

Even then Cena still pulled himself to his feet, it was the title belt to the head though that finally kept him down and for Del Rio to take the win in this astonishingly good match.

Although those two matches were the main highlights of the night all other matches also came to impress.

The show started with a great tag team match between the team of Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger going against AirBoom. It was a great way to start the show and it showed the great development in the Tag Team matches.

It was a nicely lengthened back and forth match that eventually saw AirBoom retain after pinning Dolph Ziggler.

As soon as that match was over Zack Ryder came to the ring for his US Championship match against the recently pinned Ziggler.

After AirBoom was ejected from ring side for chucking Dolph in the ring when he tried to leave, it was easy for Dolph steal the win from Zack who put up a good fight.

Beth Phoenix and Eve put on an impressive Divas match; it was a straight forward one on one match as Natalya and Kelly were banned from ringside.

It was longer than usual and both Divas put on a good show which the crowd seemed to enjoy. Beth pulled off the win.

Christian and Sheamus put on another good show with Sheamus coming out victorious again.

Triple H and Punk then went against The Miz and R-Truth, a great match that really showed that even though Triple H is 42, he still got game.

Triple H and Punk worked brilliantly as a unit using some underhanded manoeuvres while the ref wasn’t looking. I hope that we see more of Triple H and Punk together in the road to Survivor Series.

The match broke down slightly as Truth and Triple H brawled outside the ring by the ring bell area. As CM Punk attempted to put Miz away in the ring Kevin Nash turned up through the crowd and struck Triple H down. Miz and Truth then took advantage laying Punk out with a double team move which was like a 2 person Skull Crushing Finale. Miz and Truth stole the win in this great match.

After the match Kevin Nash continued to beat on Triple H. Once back in the ring Nash lays Triple H out with an awkward Jack Knife Powerbomb that looked painful due to Triple H’s awkward landing, fingers crossed Trips is not injured.

Kevin Nash looked bigger and more toned; he may have been training for Survivor Series.

Putting the pieces together it is looking like Survivor Series will see Triple H team with CM Punk, John Cena, The Rock and someone yet to be pulled into the story, vs. R-Truth, the Miz, Alberto Del Rio, Kevin Nash and once again someone else who isn’t in the story yet.

The two missing members of the Survivor Series team could be Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes who went head to head next which saw Orton victorious in yet another good match.

The whole PPV was great, all the matches were brilliant and the results were interesting and things should be worth watching in the next few weeks.

I give this PPV 4.5 out 5.

The new Twitter pop ups knocked that 0.5 off of that, otherwise I can’t find a fault.

Questions for you.

Do you agree with my Survivor Series team prediction?

How do you guys think The Rock will be bought into the Storyline?

Disappointed that the Undertaker didn’t show up?

What did you think of the PPV and did you like the Ring collapse angle?

That’s all for now Matty.D singing off!

A Messy Night Of Champs

Last night’s PPV was a pretty average show; the last match of the night though was just a mess and couldn’t seem to pull its self together.

The night kicked off with a pretty good Tag match with controversy and conspiracy.

The match started well and Kofi and Evan were wearing matching colours. During the match the Ref made a couple mistakes that he won’t soon forget.

During the match Evan clapped his hand to cover up that he didn’t tag and jumped in the ring. The Ref “heard” the clap and assumed it was a tag and allowed Evan into the match, Miz and Truth though were in an up roar over the sly move by AirBoom. Later in the match the Ref’s back was turned when Miz tagged Truth in, when the Ref turned around he straight away halted Truth and sent him back on the apron as he didn’t “see” a tag, while the Ref was busy with Truth Miz nailed The Skull Crushing Finale on Evan and made the cover, it should have been the end and AwesomeTruth should be the winners but as the Ref was still preoccupied with Truth he missed the Pin completely, by the time he turned around he only counted to 1 when Evan kicked out.

That was the last straw for Miz and Truth as Miz shouted at the Ref and eventually hit him. Truth then helped the Ref back up just to slap him back to the Mat, the two were obviously disqualified.

A little later backstage the two voiced their anger in a short interview promo.

Next we had a pretty average contest between Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. Cody won after having his masked removed by Ted. Ted attempted to hit Cody but ended up being rolled into a pin losing the match.

Cody Retains the Intercontinental Championship.

We had a short promo from Christian once again demanding another match for the world title; shockingly the crowd seemed to agree. The Great White Sheamus then came to the ring and supported Christian as long as Sheamus got the first shot at the belt after Christian had won it. Sheamus then chanted one more match along with the crowd before nailing Christian with a bro kick.

Next was, in my opinion the best match of the night, a Fatal 4 Way for the US Championship. All 4 men came to impress and they didn’t disappoint, great moves and close calls throughout. There were moments that it looked like all the competing superstars were going to win but each time there was a kick out or it was foiled by another competitor.

In the end Jack Swagger nailed a Jack Knife power bomb on John Morrison, as he was going for the cover Dolph shoved Jack out the way and took the pin to retain his US Title.

Next was Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton in another average match, there was nothing to really get excited about. Couple close calls but in the end Randy was foiled with a keyfab leg injury allowing Mark to take the win and the World Title. Josh Matthews then came down and “interviewed” Mark. Mark just took the mic and said how he is not losing the title, how he will take on all comers and not run from no body.

I think this is all hinting towards the Undertaker being the one to come and knock Mark off his pedestal and roll the story towards Mania, all though id prefer to see someone else take on Taker at Mania. Mark has improved but not enough to make an amazing Mania match for Taker.

Up next was the Divas match, one that actually had the crowd cheering loudly, the reason being is Night Of Champs was in Buffalo, Beth Phoenix’s home town. The arena was on her side and it’s been a long time since crowd got this loud over a Divas match.

This actually was a good match, one of the better matches from the Divas that we have seen in quite a while. The crowd went with some “Kelly Sucks” chants but even so Kelly actually didn’t do too bad in this match, she showed some great development. It was great match for both these women.

During the match we had something that we rarely see from Women in the WWE, Beth Phoenix took Kelly to the top rope and a Superplexed her to the Mat, a great moment for the Divas in the WWE, it shows the slight changes as the Divas Division improves. After the Superpelx Kelly kicked out the pin, Beth then went for the Glamslam but it was reversed into a quick roll up and Kelly won the match, a huge upset for the fans in Buffalo as well as Beth herself and me.

A surprisingly good WWE Championship match was next, before the match even started though Del Rio came to the ring absent a car; he got to the ring and started shouting at Ricardo about where his keys were. John Cena’s music the played and he appeared driving Del Rio’s Yellow Ferrari.

We then had Ricardo introduce Del Rio, followed by Cena humorously introducing himself.

The match was actually better than expected; it really showed why Cena is always the one going for the Title and why Del Rio currently has the title. After a great back and forth contest Cena finally pulled off the win causing Del Rio to tap to the STF. Cena wins the WWE Title for the 10^th time.

Next was the highly anticipated no DQ match between CM Punk and Triple H. Unfortunately this match didn’t live up to expectations, it was a mess and I don’t know if anyone knows what the point of it all was.

The match kicked off with Punk hitting Triple H off the apron during his entrance just after the water spit.

The two men then fought around the ring in typical Triple H style. The match continued on inside the ring and outside, up through the crowd and by titontron. All this should have really got the crowd going but the cheers seemed to die down and the crowd didn’t seem to be feeling the vibe.

The match kept going strong for the first half of it, the use of a Steel chair came in and the announcers table became a target. Punk pulled off an amazing move, jumping from the turnbuckle onto Triple H who was lying across the Spanish announcers table. The two slowly crawled themselves back into the ring while the replay of the Holy Shit moment was shown, once in the ring things started to become messy.

The Miz and R-Truth come to the ring and didn’t beat up just one of the two men but both of them. They then dragged Punk over Triple H and demanded the Ref count the Pin, Triple H kicked out at the count of 2 to the disbelief of Truth and Miz.

Miz started Shouting at the Ref, Miz pointing at himself saying “Do you know who I am?” and the Ref just came back with the same response pointing at his shirt emphasizing that he is a WWE Official. The two really got in each other’s faces, the sort of thing you don’t usually see from a referee. Miz then shoved the Ref not once but twice, before finally throwing a punch which was shockingly reversed by the Ref and Miz received a punch instead. Not the smartest move by Referee Scot Armstrong as he then got a beat down by both Miz and Truth.

John Laurinaitis then made his way to ring side calling for someone from out the back to follow. In the ring Punk and Triple H had finally got themselves back on their feet and they beat on Truth and Miz clearing them out the ring.

Punk then received a Pedigree from Triple H and it looked to be all over, that is if we had a Ref about. A Ref did then run down the ramp towards the ring where Triple H was now covering Punk but John Laurinaitis stopped him and told him to attend to Scot Armstrong the fallen referee instead. Triple H confused about not getting a Ref to count the pin started calling to John to get the Ref in the ring, when Triple H turned back he ended up in a GTS, it was when Punk went for the Pin that John then sent the ref in the ring, by now I think we was all like “what the hell is going on?”

Ref counted 1 then 2 then R-Truth who was still down at ringside pulled Punk off of Triple H and out the ring. Truth also received a GTS for his troubles.

Punk crawls back towards the ring, John Laurinaitis continues to attend to Scot Armstrong, and Triple H slowly rises. Punk jumps off the ropes and lands into a kick and yet another Pedigree, Triple H goes for the cover but shockingly Punk was able to kick out.

John Laurinaitis seeing this turns away from the ring on his phone, next thing you know the apparently fired Kevin Nash made his way through the crowd and into the ring where he takes down both Punk and Triple H, he then beats on Triple H and goes for his signature Powerbomb. Punk then jumps back into the fray stopping it and beats on Nash. Nash gets the upper hand and Powerbombs Punk.

(Struggling to keep up? Because it wasn’t easy for me either.) Leaving Punk in the ring Nash goes back after Triple H. Nash clears the still standing announcers table being careful not to break any equipment, when he turns back he gets a face full of Sledge Hammer which Triple H had grabbed from under the ring while out of shot.

The crowd now did sound to be going wild even though I don’t think anyone knew what the hell was going on.  Chants collided as Triple H was cheered for as well as CM Punk. Once back in the ring Triple H nailed Punk with a 3^rd and final Pedigree and winning the match.

Now to piece it together, Truth and Miz obviously don’t want Triple H to be COO, that would be why they got Punk to cover Triple H in there attack, the question then is why did Truth then pull Punk off of Triple H later in the match?

John Laurinaitis didn’t want someone to win this match, most probably Triple H but it wasn’t 100% clear to us. John is also likely to be in cahoots with Nash as it was obvious the person that John was meant to be texting on his Phone was Nash. Nash has beef with both Punk and Triple H but wanted a certain outcome as well, first impressions is he wants Triple H to lose as Triple H seemed to be Nash’s main target when he enters the ring.

Will questions be answered on tonight’s Raw? And what will happen between now and Hell in a Cell which is only 2 weeks away?

Let’s hope tonight’s Raw will have some answers and expect to see the first matches for Hell in a Cell announced tonight.

It will be yet another Super Show which seems to be the way Raw has been for the last few weeks for no real reason.

Also on tonight’s Raw we will have a guest star. Hugh Jackman, better known as Logan or Wolverine from the X-Men movie series, will be on the show, he will most probably be promoting his new movie Real Steel.

Questions for you.

Did you make any sense of the final match?

What match stood out for you?

Any predictions on where any of the storylines are heading?

That’s all for now Matty.D signing off.
