Vengeance returns this Sunday!

Vengeance is a classic WWE PPV and it makes its return this Sunday. The last time we had a Vengeance PPV was 2007 and it was the start of the Night of Champions PPV name. After 2007 they dropped the Vengeance name from the title and for 2008, 9, 10 and this year we had Night of Champions as its own PPV.

So this Sunday Vengeance makes its return after being missing for 3 years, and there are Superstars with Vengeance in mind.

WWE Tag Team Championship

AirBoom vs. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger

Jack and Dolph were once fighting over the US Championship but they have been able to put their differences aside and under the command of Vicki Guerrero have got themselves a Tag title shot at Vengeance.

I think this will link in to the predicted Survivor Series matches and the current Storylines in regards to John Laurinaitis and Triple H’s fight for power.

WWE Divas Championship

Beth Phoenix vs. Eve

Kelly Kelly and Beth have been fighting over the Divas Championship over the past month with Natalya and Eve stood at ring side. Now Beth has the Championship and has successfully defended it against Kelly it’s time for Eve to have a shot.

I see Beth walking away with the belt but we still should have a short but better than usual Divas match as Eve is one of the better in ring performers of the current Divas.

Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes

It’s not for the Intercontinental Championship as that would be a down step for Randy but due to the recent attacks from Cody, Randy is seeking Vengeance. This isn’t an important match but it should be a good one. I think these two will also tie in to the Survivor Series event.

World Heavyweight Championship

Mark Henry vs. Big Show

Big Show made his return after being off on injury by the hands of Mark Henry. After a quite silly promo from Big Show a couple weeks ago, he demanded a World Heavyweight Title shot which Mark Henry refused. An enraged Big Show attempted to break Henry’s leg after Chock Slamming him through the announcers table but he was stopped at the last minute by Teddy Long; Teddy said that Show could have the Title shot at Vengeance as long as he didn’t break Marks leg.

So Big Show gets his Vengeance this Sunday but I predict that Mark will pull through.

WWE Championship

Last Man Standing Match

Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena

John Cena gets yet another WWE Title shot but you can’t deny his in ring ability.  After last night’s Raw the match was turned into a Last Man Standing match. John Cena teamed with Jim Ross and took on Alberto Del Rio and Michael Cole the winning Team getting to choose the stipulation for Vengeance. Cena and JR picked up the win after Del Rio left the match and Michael Cole to fend for himself. After much begging for mercy Cole was given an Attitude Adjustment from Cena and an Ankle lock from JR causing the tap out and giving Cena and JR the win. Cena then beat on Del Rio and started to count to 10 while Del Rio was down signalling a Last Man Standing match for this Sunday.

Triple H & CM Punk vs. R-Truth & The Miz

Once enemies now allies against a common foe. Even with their recent rivalry Triple H and CM Punk are able to put their differences aside and work together in what should be an epic tag match. It’s one of them dream matches where a Superstar of today teams with Superstar of the Past, I am hoping for an amazing match that will link in to the story well ready for Survivor Series. After Sunday will we see CM Punk and Triple H alongside The Rock and John Cena to make one of the most ultimate Survivor Series teams ever foreseen?

The gap between Vengeance and Survivor Series should be an interesting one.

Undertaker?

Now a while back it was rumoured that The Undertaker was to return this Sunday at Vengeance, well now the time has come so will it turn out to be true? Will Undertaker come back this Sunday?

If he does come back who will he be coming to mess with? So many questions that we want to see answered, that is if he returns. Only time will tell.

Questions for you.

So what match are you most looking forward to?

What are your predictions for Sunday and the road ahead?

Will Undertaker return?

That’s it for now Matty.D singing off.

Triple H out, John Laurinitis in!

Last night’s stellar Raw had some more on screen big changes so let’s have a quick look through what happened.

It started off with Triple H, suited and booted coming to the ring alone. No announcers or time keeper were present when he got down to the packed arena.

After talking about last week’s walk out and how the Superstars are out in the parking lot holding a “Rally of solidarity” he said even at the threat of not having any superstars working for him he will not quit.

After talking about the possibility of Triple H wrestling a broom stick just so they have a show John Cena comes to the ring.

John Cena talks about how the guys in the parking lot really want him to join them yet Trips hasn’t asked anything of him.

He says how a lot of the other Superstars feel but then points out that for some of them superstars Triple H is there first boss. He then gives us a rundown of bosses he has had while working in the WWE ending it on saying that Triple H is his boss and he is staying.

Next to join them is Sheamus who even with Triple H and Sheamus’s history also agreed to stay.

CM Punk then came to the ring, carrying a “pipe bomb”. CM Punk actually decided to take the blame for this as he did start this off back at Money in the Bank by walking out with the WWE Championship. But even though he walked out he didn’t break any rules, he didn’t break his contract, his contract expired. Regardless of all that he deals with things personally and also agrees to stay.

Triple H then makes a match using what little he has. Sheamus vs. John Cena, Triple H as ref and CM Punk assigned to the empty announcers table to say whatever he feels like as well as being a Time Keeper.

The match kicks off and we have a good kick start to this odd Raw show, after so long the match is interrupted by the man that most of you guys had already foreseen returning.

Vince McMahon comes to the ring, he shows his faith in Triple H and that he still believes in him. Unfortunately though due to the walk out the board of directors are in fear of WWE’s fanatical wellbeing and they are not going to take a chance, so they have removed Triple H as COO.

An interim GM will be assigned that apparently neither Vince nor Triple H likes but John Laurinitis is assigned the job.

The rest of the show is a series of matches to help propel the rebel faction higher, starting with Christian vs. John Morrison in there Street Clothes, Christian was not alone though as he had Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger at ring side, after Christians win the team Beat on Morrison.

Randy Orton then took on Mark Henry but the match was interrupted by Cody Rhodes who attacked Randy. Mark being disqualified slams Randy twice in anger; Cody takes advantage of the downed Randy and sticks a bag over his head.

After a Divas tag match that saw Kelly Kelly and Eve win John Laurinitis came to the ring and shockingly fired J.R in front of the very unhappy Oklahoma crowd.

Rising star Mason Ryan with some wicked Electric Guitar music comes next tagging with AirBoom who also has their own Rock styled entrance music. They took on Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and David Otunga. Vicki Guerrero was at ring side; Michael Cole also named the group, “The Agents of Change.”

This was my favourite match of the night and it does show the improvement in the Tag division although we still haven’t got enough teams outside of these groups.

AirBoom and Mason win brilliantly to the dismay of Vicki. At the end of the match Evan Bourn did look to be injured, weather Keyfab or real and the seriousness of it is unknown.

After a trailer for John Cena’s new movie, which to be honest looks terrible, we move into Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk as the main event of the show.

This match was also cut short this time by John Laurinitis. He changes the match to Alberto Del Rio teaming with CM Punk to take on the rehired pair of R-Truth and the Miz.

Del Rio ended up leaving the match, leaving CM Punk to take Truth and Miz on solo. He put up a good fight but in the end Truth and Miz got disqualified due to both attack Punk and being counted out. Not to worry as former COO Triple H, no longer suited and booted but in Jeans and T-Shirt, comes down to the ring to help Punk and fight off Truth and Miz.

By the looks of things Triple H may not be COO but he is going to stick around as a Superstar.

Triple H and Punk stand tall as Miz and Truth high tail it out of the arena.

Back stage John Laurinitis says how he will talk to the board and see if we can get Punk and Triple H to team to take on Truth and Miz at Vengeance.

Cut back to the ring to Triple H and Punk shaking hands, looks like we are in for a great tag match at Vengeance.

This should run through Vengeance and continue on towards Survivor Series where the Rock should be making his return and be thrown into the mix.

The road is looking like an interesting one indeed but what do you guys think?

Questions for you

I have heard some mixed opinions on the Rocks return being before Wrestlemania so what do you think? Should the Rock just wait till Mania or are you ok with him performing at Survivor Serise?

What do you think of the current Story?

Well that’s all for now thanks for your recent feedback this is Matty.D signing off.

No Confidence in Triple H.

Last night’s Raw may have seen the end of Triple H as COO, at the end of the show after an amazing 12 man tag match with Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourn, Sheamus, CM Punk, John Cena and Mason Ryan vs. Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Cody Rhodes, Alberto Del Rio and Christian - all the superstars and Refs came to the ring and stood around it to vote whether or not they have Confidence in Triple H as COO of the WWE.

Triple H spoke to the Superstars on how they are here for the fans and that the fans don’t want to see lawsuits and whining babies but to see guy get in the ring and fight.

The Superstars, Divas and Refs all had their own spokesperson.

Wade Barrett spoke one behalf of one section, he stated how things are just utter chaos ever since Triple H took charge, Triple H’s rebuttal was about the Nexus and how Wade caused chaos in the past.

Beth spoke on behalf of the Divas, even though the Divas haven’t had any problem, which was pointed out to them but Beth said they still didn’t like that they could have something happen.

Mike Chioda spoke on behalf of the Refs, speaking about how the Ref’s keep getting attacked, Triple H pointed out how he fired the two guys that are to blame but Mike just claimed he didn’t feel safe coming to work anymore.

Jerry “The King” Lawler also appeared after being off on injury, he got in the ring and said he agreed with some of the things said and disagreed with others.

Christian then started the vote, on behalf of his section he voted No Confidence, Wade for his section voted No Confidence, Beth for the Divas No Confidence, Mike Chioda for the Ref’s No Confidence, and finally Jerry voted No Confidence and then walked out on Triple H slowly followed by all the superstars and the Refs, then the Camera men, Micheal Cole, Booker T, Justin Roberts (the ring announcer), the Time Keeper and lastly although reluctantly J.R.

Triple H was left in the ring, no Superstars willing to work for him but the fans showed they had Confidence in him, chanting Triple H and “You still got it!”

The show closed on Triple H still in the ring but it didn’t end there.

After the Show ended Zack Ryder came back to the ring saying he had changed his mind, that if it wasn’t for Triple H he would be doing so well. He had his Vlog cam and was filming for his YouTube show, after doing a double shot with Triple H, Trips turned on Zack giving him a pedigree in the middle of the ring. Yet the fans still stay on Triple H’s side.

By no means is Triple H fired or anything like that but a Vote of No Confidence isn’t a good thing and could force him out of the COO position and may push John Laurinaits in as the replacement who also appeared just to walk away.

Now of course this is all Story but it’s a really good one, it came across in a great way and had a realistic feel. What does the future hold for the onscreen COO and where is the story going now?

Something that should be pointed out is top Face superstars John Cena and CM Punk were nowhere to be seen during the Vote so maybe we will hear from them soon.

This could all lead into Survivor Series and include the Rock and Team Bring it. I think we are in store for an interesting month.

Questions for you.

Do you have confidence in Triple H?

What do you think is next to happen?

If Triple H does leave after this who do you think will replace him? And who would you realistically want to see replace him?

I will leave you to think on that, Matty.D Signing off.

A Quiet Hell in a Cell

Last night’s Hell in a Cell PPV lacked the buzz that makes a PPV exciting, the crowd was dead through most of the event only cheering and booing at key moments. Due to this lack of enthusiasm matches that were good came across dull and boring, on top of this lack of buzz were the bland Hell in a Cell matches, ever since the PG rule was made Hell in a Cells just haven’t come across well at all.

The show kicked off with a very solid match between Sheamus and Christian, Sheamus was shown as a very forceful competitor as Christian at first struggled to take the Great White down and kept his distance till he got his chance to get the momentum in his favour. When the match slowed the crowd became quiet and caused the match to become dull.

After some big time moves Sheamus took the win with the Bro Kick.

Before that match started between the entrances of Sheamus and Christian R-Truth and The Miz showed up in the crowd with tickets and was getting their seats for the show. John Laurinaitis and some Security came down and removed the two from the crowd and you knew that wouldn’t be the last you will see of them.

Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara was next in line and the match was a good one, the two showed what Mexican wrestling is all about and I hope we see more from these two in the future, whether it be as Sin Cara’s or other names. Unfortunately though the crowd didn’t feel my liking for this match and stayed quiet once again and also some “boring” chants started.

Those on Twitter and I seemed to be enjoying the match so for the crowd to react in such a way really ruined it.

The Blue Sin Cara picked up the win.

A match for the WWE Tag Team Titles between AirBoom and the Team of Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler was after the Sin Cara’s match, it did liven the crowd a bit more but not enough to keep them going for the rest of the show. They put on a great back and forth match that showed the development of both teams well.

AirBoom was able to pick up the win and keep the Tag belts to the anger of Vicki Guerrero.

Later in the show Triple H is told that someone is causing problems in the locker rooms, armed with security Triple H and John Laurinaitis head in to find the Miz and R-Truth beating on Kofi and Evan in a ransacked locker room.

The security took Truth and Miz away while Triple H shouts at John.

After the Tag match we had the first of two Hell in a Cell matches, Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry. First way to describe this match is “Worst Hell in a Cell match ever”; it was to short and didn’t make enough use of weapons or the Cell itself.

Randy did nail Mark with the RKO but shockingly Mark kicked out of the pin after. The ending from there didn’t hold together well either as Mark turns a Punt attempt into the World’s Strongest slam to pick up the win.

It was the post-match that was more exciting and I think it should have been included in the match before the Cell was raised. After the match was won the Cell was raised and Mark celebrated, he then grabbed a chair in an attempt to break Randy’s leg like he had done to others before him.

Randy was able to save himself though moving his Chair clasped leg out the way at the last minute, Randy then used the chair viciously on the fleeing Mark Henry.

We moved into a Promo from Cody Rhodes next, in the promo he bagged the old Intercontinental Championship and revealed a new belt. It was in the design of the classic Title with up to date WWE logos and a great looking White Leather strap. It looks brilliant a real classic, this is the type of change we like. Now they need to do the same thing for the WWE Championship, it would be great to bring back a classic designed updated Belt, I personally like the classic look of belts and not the flashy ones like the Spinner US Championship of the past or the Current WWE Championship, and I really don’t like the current design of the Tag belts.

After Cody revealed the belt John Laurinaitis appeared to make an impromptu match for the new Title. Cody was forced to defend the belt against John Morrison and with no time to prepare he had to do it in the suit he was wearing. It was a good match and Cody did come away still holding the Title.

Next was another better than usual Divas match between Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix, the match came across well and Kelly continues to show improvement, the end of the match though seemed a bit messed up.

Kelly looked to be taking the win but Beth kicked out literally as the Refs hand was about to hit the mat for 3, the crowd were unsure whether it was a win or a loss. Natalya then got on the apron to have a go at the Ref. Why complain? Beth just kicked out that’s a good thing. I am going to guess that Nat was meant to jump up before or during the Pin, if it wasn’t for Beth kicking out the match would end in the wrong way. Eve then went after Natalya but she was foiled. Beth then locked in the unique and painful looking submission move that Natalya has been using over the last couple of shows. After Kelly screamed in pain and grabbed the ropes Beth let her go, the Ref turned his back to tell Beth off and Natalya hit Kelly with mic she was holding, a Glam Slam later and Beth Phoenix finally wins the Divas Title.

 Last match of the night, the Triple Threat Hell in a Cell for the WWE title, this one was more interesting than the previous but still didn’t live up to past Hell in a Cell matches.

The match went well and was rough but not as rough as we would have liked, mid-way through it wasn’t looking good for Alberto Del Rio so Ricardo took out the Ref outside the Cell, Unlocked the Cell door and came in with a Steel Pipe. He was stopped by Cena and forcefully removed from the Cell. Alberto had got the pipe though and used it on Cena. Leaving him outside the Cell, Del Rio then locked himself into the Cell and threw the Key away under the ring.

CM Punk and Del Rio fought for the win and no matter how much Cena tried he could break his way back in. With Cena out of the loop we was guaranteed a new Champion and that was Del Rio after Punk had been hit across the head with the Steel pipe, as soon as the Cell was raised though Cena was on Del Rio.

All Hell did then break loose. Two hooded men appeared from nowhere and stared beating on Cena, Del Rio and Punk. The two men were soon revealed to be Truth and Miz.

As Triple H and Laurinaitis came to the ring the Cell was lowered so no one could get in to stop the anarchy as Miz and Truth were now beating on the Refs that were in the ring as well as striking camera men who were also inside.

Almost the whole WWE locker room came down in an attempt to break into the Cell but all they could do was stand there and shake the cage as Miz and Truth continued beat on anyone inside the Cell.

Cops appeared as well to arrest the two of them as a man with bolt cutters broke through the chain holding the door. As soon as the door was open Truth and Miz held up their hands and went down onto their knees and gave themselves up.

Triple H in a rage was determined to get at the two as the cops handcuffed them. Trips did break free from being held back and beat on Truth and Miz pushing Laurinaitis out of the way to do so.

When he was finally held back the two men were removed and the show ended.

The ending of the show was the best part of the whole night but it did come 20 minutes earlier than it should have. We paid for a 3 hour show and we got a 2 hour and 40 minute show, WWE owe us 20 minutes worth of Entertainment.

Tonight’s Raw should prove to be interesting and I wonder how the storylines will develop heading into Vengeance and towards Survivor Series.

I give this PPV 2.5 out of 5 stars. If the crowd was livelier and the Cell matches were more exciting and had more substance I would of given a higher rating.

Questions for you

What did you think?

What do you think is next?

What is your favourite Hell in a Cell match from the past?

Tune in for tonight’s Raw and for now this is Matty.D signing off.

Hell in a Cell this Sunday!

That’s right WWE’s next PPV is already here. We have had only 2 weeks between Night of Champs and Hell in a Cell yet a lot has happened between then and now.

That being said let’s look at the matches for Hell in a Cell as well as other storyline developments.

Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix

That’s right these two are going against each other yet again. We have had some better Divas matches as of lately from Beth, Kelly and Natalya so hopefully we will have another good match and maybe this time Beth can get the job done and take the Divas Championship.

Sheamus vs. Christian

Over the past two weeks these two have been getting into each other’s faces and after Christian did some more moaning to Triple H, Trips booked Christian into a match with Sheamus for this Sunday.

On the lead up Sheamus has been fighting for the Intercontinental Championship against Cody Rhodes but every time it looked like Sheamus was going to win Christian came to the ring and cost Sheamus the match.

This should be a heated and good mid card match.

Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara

That’s right, after weeks of waiting the original Sin Cara came back to our screens and has lead towards the predicted Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara match.

On the lead up the Face Sin Cara has been starting matches but getting taken out and replaced by the Heel Sin Cara while the Ref’s back is turned near the end of most matches.

On SmackDown the Face Sin Cara won his match with ease and impressively against Heath Slater. After the win the Heel Sin Cara appeared on the big screen, he removed his mask to reveal a new black Sin Cara mask under it.

I actually can’t pick a favourite at the moment, when the Black Sin Cara first came in he did seem to perform well but since the original Blue Sin Cara returned he has shown great improvement.

Booker T did mention something on SmackDown during a Sin Cara match witch could be interesting, what if the two Sin Cara’s joined forces? If those two did join up they could make a great improvement to the Tag matches. Maybe Evan Bourn and Kofi Kingston vs. the Sin Cara’s is somewhere down the road? Let’s see what happens at Hell in a Cell first though.

World Heavyweight Championship

Hell in a Cell

Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton

Randy Orton will get his rematch this Sunday in the Devils playground. I think it’s still going to be Mark Henry that walks away with the World Title; he has had a good push and is still dominating.

If Randy’s match from last year against Sheamus is anything to go by we should be in for a good match this Sunday.

I predict Mark will win then at Raw or SmackDown he will claim that no one can beat him, this will lead into the return of a missing star, (possibly Undertaker) who will be the one to knock Mark off his high horse.

WWE Championship

Hell in a Cell

John Cena vs. CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio

After Night of Champs Triple H announced that both CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio are entitled to their rematches, Del Rio gets his rematch from losing to John Cena and Punk gets his rematch from losing the WWE Title after Del Rio cashed in his money in the bank.

This match could go in any direction and for me it’s hard to predict. The Triple H COO storyline has made space from this story and is growing legs of its own so depending on what happens Monday we shouldn’t see the stories cross paths to much.

Other Stories and news

The Rebel Alliance

A rebel alliance is forming in the WWE. David Otunga as the brains of the operation, with the help of EVP John Laurinaitis has bought together a group of unhappy superstars. Christian, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Vicki Guerrero have all banded together and are hatching a plan to possibly over throw COO Triple H or at least make life very hard for him. They will apparently put their plan in motion this Monday on Raw; we may see something happen at Hell in a Cell as well.

I’m thinking this may lead to a match at Survivor Series, the rebels vs. Triple H’s own created team. My guess for Triple H’s team is Evan Bourn, Kofi Kingston, Mason Ryan, Zack Ryder and Sheamus. The reason I picked Evan and Kofi is because they have been colliding with the now working team of Jack and Dolph, Zack Ryder because he has been climbing the ranks and working well with Kofi and Evan also colliding with Jack and Dolph, Sheamus due to his current feuds with Christian and Cody and lastly Mason Ryan, who has just recently come back to our screens, he came down as the 3^rd person in Dolph and Jacks team during a tag match against Kofi, Evan and Zack. Unfortunately for Dolph and Jack when Mason was tagged in he turned on his team mates then left for Zack to pick up the win. This signals the former Gladiators turn from Heel to Face, I hope he has had more training so we should see some great matches from him, he can’t act very well though so I hope he doesn’t cut many promos if any.

John Cena and the Rock Team up!

The other Survivor Series tag match that’s in the pipe line will apparently include The Rock and John Cena on the same team.

Recently the Rock has shown on his facebook pictures of himself training as well as a promo picture of him and John Cena for the coming match.

The tag line to this match is “Never before, never again.” The storyline leading to this could prove to be interesting and regardless this match should be awesome.

Things to think about is who will be their team mates and who will they be facing?

Stone Cold vs. CM Punk possibilities?

Recently the Sun posted an article where Stone Cold had spoken about a final match and if he had that match he would want to face CM Punk. To read about that click HERE and keep your fingers crossed for this to happen.

Questions for you.

Any predictions for Hell in a Cell?

What do you think is going to happen with this forming band of rebels?

Who do you think will be with Cena and Rocky on Team Bring it? And who will they be facing?

Do you think Stone Cold and CM Punk will face off one day?
