WWE - The Number One Brand of Sports Entertainment

[DaveKOTW]

WWE Round Up! by KOTWDave @ WrestlingWorldHeadlines.com

So the end of the first week in the WWE calandar is finally here and what a lot there is to report on.

Firstly on RAW, Carlito Carribean Cool continues his Intercontinental Championship reign defeating WWE old boy Val Venis. Currently, there is no number one contender for the Intercontinental Champion, and with Shelton Benjamin being stuck on HEAT, the chances of him getting another shot at the IC title doesnt seem likely.

The RAW Tag Team division seems to be taking shape with the debut of the newly formed team of Snitsky and Damaja formerly known as Danny Basham took shape on HEAT, Snitsky and Damaja destroyed WWE developmental wrestlers Steven Lewington and Harry Harrison. Also on HEAT, WWE newcomers the Heart Throbs criticised the WWE and the fans for not respecting them and that they will prove a point to the world on the up and coming RAW, when they introduce, a new member.

Also from the RAW brand, Kane and Edge ended their feud in a vicious Cage match that ended with Kane escaping the cage, partly due to the distraction of Edge by Matt Hardy's entrance music. As of right now, nobody knows who played Matt Hardy's music, and as Matt Hardy isnt part of the WWE, how he keeps managing to get through security into the audience and backstage. Edge will be sure to start asking questions about that.

After Kerwin White last week attacked his father, when  he was trying to help him, nobody knows what will come about that. As of right now, Kerwin White looks to be destined for glory and who knows where his newly found path will lead him.

Kurt Angle on the other hand once again sucumb to the actions of Matt Striker costing him his WWE Championship Match against John Cena. As or right now, it seems certain that Kurt Angle will want retribution as of what happened on RAW but no one knows quite what will happen.

John Cena is all but set to go one on one with Chris Jericho at Summerslam. No Match has been official made but it pretty likely that the two will go ahead.

Finally, WWE fans should expect to see the return of Hulk Hogan sooner or later as even though Hulk Hogan isnt scheduled to be involved with the WWE next week, the liklihood of his return in the forthcoming weeks is high as the ticketmaster are advertising Summerslam as Hogan vs. HBK.

Finally for RAW, expect the unexpected this week especially after Bischoff announced that he had a presentation for Vince McMahon regarding this weeks RAW

As for Smackdown, Smackdown fans should be happy that Smackdown seems to be going through a reshuffling stage.

Currently 2 feuds that are almost certainly expected to materialise at Summerslam are the JBL/Batista feud and the MNM/Animal and Heidenreich feud. However, as of right now, no one is quite certain of what form the JBL storyline will take as he refused to appear on Smackdown the week before, even though that was just a work.

Currently, no one is aware of  who the self proclaimed "Mr. Extreme" is, although the rumour is still that it is between Heyman and Gertner. Whether the person called "Mr. Extreme" will appear on Smackdown is unknown, although some have said expect to see Joel Gertner actually make an appearance next week.

Paul London was a no show last week on any of the Smackdown tapings but many believe that was just to sell the injury that Juvi caused on Smackdown the week before. With the supposedly signings of Spanky and James Gibson earlier this week, it is thought that both these men may appear on Smackdown soon, as to make a high octane cruiserweight match at Summerslam.

It is thought that it will only be a matter of time before Brock Lesnar returns to WWE and most likely to Smackdown to go into the Main Event but it is even more likely that Randy Orton will claim the belt of Batista before Brock returns. If you take that into consideration, then likelihood of JBL winning the World Heavyweight Championship is slim.

I will continue to keep the fans informed

Thank you for reading!

He likened TNA to a person with kidney stones.."once they are abstracted...there is instant relief".

The Big Show said that the RAW brand is currently also suffering from Russo Syndrome with Eric Bischoff. "Bischoff has a problem with any wrestler who is liked by the fans. If they get cheers, then they are immedietly punished. Look at the shows big fan favorites. Cena, Benjamin and myself of course" The Show chuckled. "We are always being put down and shafted by other superstars. for being popular! It's a pile of crap and it's got to stop. Part of me wishes I was still on Smackdown, but this is the only way I get to further my career".

Eric Bischoff Presents..HANDICAP Monday

August 8, 2005

After Eric Bischoff emerged for him meeting with WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff gave exclusive word to  WWE.com that Monday Night's Would be a very special RAW called, known as HANDICAP Monday.

After the Heart Throbs big speach on HEAT last Sunday commenting about the lack of respect they've got on the RAW  brand, Eric Bischoff has given the Young Tag Team a shot at the WWE World Tag Team Championships against The  Hurricane and Rosey. This match is going to go to the wire,  especially with the expected arrival of the "3rd Man".

Also expect harsh words to be used this week on Carlito's Cabana as the Intercontinental Champion has guests Edge  and Lita on the Cabana on RAW.

Last week on RAW, WWE Champion John Cena was viciously attacked by Rockstar Chris Jericho. Jericho, obviously still  not satisfied from the match at Vengeance, who knows how Cena is going to react. Bischoff has announced that Cena  will be involved in a handicap match on RAW but Bischoff refuses to let go who they are..."It's a suprise" he  exclaimed.

The Main Event for RAW has also been set this week with The Big Show suffering for a slip of the tongue being put  in a handicap match against 'The Masterpiece' Chris Master and 'The Heart Break Kid' Shawn Michaels.

Kurt Angle is also expected to be on RAW tonight after the aftermath of his WWE Championship Match last Week on RAW  after Matt Striker's interference helped sway the match in Cena's favour.

Make sure to tune in...

"Medal" by Jim Johnston blasts out of the PA system and the crowd immedietly turns to boos and "You Suck" Chants as Kurt Angle appears at the entrance of the arena standing centre.

King - JR it looks like you're not going to get to do your introduction tonight! Kurt Angle is got something on his chest and he wants to get it off it immedietly.

JR - you damn right about that King

Angle finally makes it down to the ring, stepping through the ropes and walking straight the middle of the ring

Angle - Now Listen up carefully because I dont like to repeat myself. Esepcially to the likes of this hick place, whats it called anyway? Greenbay? Greensburg, no wait it's Greensboro right? Hell if I could name it, I'd call it crapboro. This place sucks!

The crowd boo Angle after the harsh comments about the hometown.

Angle - Anywho! I'm not out here to make comments about this sucky place, I am out here to comment on a man who has repeatedly caused me aggrevation EVER since he arrived here in the WWE. This guy, is nothing but, but..but A DOWN RIGHT LIAR!

"Striker" chants begin in the arena

Angle - Heck, I dont know if thats his name! Striker, Martel, that guy has lied more times than Bill Clinton. All that matter is that I...

"Singular Indestructable Droid" by Papa Roach blasts out of the PA system and fans get to their feet as Matt Striker's debut entrance video appears on the screen. Kurt Angle turns round to face the screen in utter disbelief as the cocky Matt Striker makes his way to to the entrance of the arena. Striker raises his arms to some of the crowd at each side before stopping to face Kurt from a distance, microphone in hand.

Striker - Hey Kurt!

Angle - Hey Kurt? HEY FRICKIN KURT? First off..Kid. The name is Mr Angle to you and I know you are a compulsive liar and all but you owe me some damn respect. Heck! I won an olympic gold medal with a broken frickin...

Striker - You cheate..

Angle - Cheated? Listen to this guy! *turning to the crowd* He can't stop lying. *turns back to Striker* Listen up Striker, the reason I cam here to the ring tonight, even though your ego told you otherwise, was NOT to challenge you to a match. Heck, I wouldnt want to even change in the same locker room as you! The reason I came out here tonight here was to request the permission of Eric Bischoff, our esteemed General Manager of RAW, to come out here, and ban you from being anywhere near the building so I can get whats rightfully mine. The WWE Championship. Now if you dont mind Striker, I want you to get out of here because I've got some business to..

Striker - *smiling* you know what Kurt? As much as I'd love to leave you here now to make your big speach about how amazing you are, I've got a little something here I wanted to show you!

Striker picks something out of his pocket and begins to unravel it

Striker - Allow me to read this to you. "This here contract formally declares that Matt Striker is an official WWE Superstar as of 1/08/05. Signed by Vince McMahon." But Wait Kurt, It gets better. "Matt Striker will be assigned to the WWE RAW roster and will be appearing on WWE's next PPV,Summerslam"

Kurt Angle smiles

Angle - And you supposed you'd get to fight me?

Striker shakes his head up and down

Angle - Well you know what Striker? I'm a reasonable man. So hey, sure, you can have your fight!

The crowd cheers at Angle's acceptance

Angle - Except..it wont be at Summerslam

The crowds mood changes immedietly, Angle with a huge grin on his face

Angle - Cos you see Striker, you aint gonna make it to Summerslam. Cos tonight, heck, lets make it right now, I'm gonna come down right there and break your freakin ANKLE!

JR - My Gawd! It's gonna explode right here! right No..WAIT!

JR - My GAWD King! Where the hell did Kerwin White come from?

King - I..I dont know JR!

Kerwin grabs hold of Striker and points to the crowd...GORY BOMB ON STRIKER! Kurt Angle walks up to the destroyed Striker on the floor and grabs hold of Striker's Ankle. ANKLE LOCK ON STRIKER! Striker begins to tap like a maniac before officals quickly infiltrate the arena and pull Angle off Striker. Angle smiles sadistically at the destroyed Striker as Kerwin and Angle are pushes out of the arena and EMT's check on Striker's fitness

The Damaja drives the chair into the ribs of Cena and Cena is dropped to the ground.

JR - Folks if you've just joined us, there was a sick and heinous act just performed by Chris Jericho and Bischoff's Goons

King - John Cena was destroyed, flattened and warned by Eric Bischoff that Raw is his show, and no one is standing in his way.

JR - King, the WWE is all about equality, about equal opportunity, what is fair in what Chris Jericho did tonight! He commited a cowardly act of assault from behind! Thats all he did.

King - It may have been cowardly JR but what matters more is that it was effective!

JR - in your opinion, that maybe more important...But not in mine

The Sound of someone spitting blasts through the PA before "I spit in the face of people who dont want to be cool" blares through. Carlito Carribean Cool steps forward, some cheers, some boos, as he walks down to the ring in his standard ring attire bearing an apple in his hand. Carlito makes his way down to the bottom of the ring, throwing his apple up and catching it before sliding in and going straight for the microphone lying on one of his beach chairs

Carlito - Well Well Well, It looks like it's time for another edition of..Carlito's Cabana! Yeah!

The crowd cheers for Carlito absurdly

Carlito - And What A Night We have planned here tonight! We have Edge, we have Lita and we have Matt Hardy..so why not bring them out

The Hardy Countdown begins on the titantron and the fans cheer for as "Live for the Moment" by Monster Magnet bursts out of the PA sytem. Matt Hardy comes down to ringside high fiving some of the fans before getting in the ring microphone in hand.

Matt Hardy - Car-li-toe, before you get started, I gotta say that I think your show sucks and I am here for only one reason..Edge

Carlito - Yeah man thats coo...

Matt Hardy - Did I say you could talk?

Carlito looks stunned

Matt Hardy - I didn't think so! So Adam, Lita, get down here now!

Metalingus by Alter Bridge screams out of the PA system and out of the entrance quickly appears Edge who is looking rather annoyed at having to be out in the arena

Edge - Hey Carlito, people of America!Matthew? I have come out here to tell you a little home truth, a little fact about Matt Hardy that you people didn't know. But first let me thank my generous host!

Carlito - Hey man! It was nothing! However there is something I'd like to announce, It's concerning my Intercontinen..

Matt Hardy - You got dirt on Me Copeland? Oh yeah, I'm shaking in my boots! Let's face it, as far as you're concerned, you've got way more skeletons in your closet than mine Adam!

Edge - Oh Not Quite!

The crowd boos for Edge get louder and louder

Edge - Ya'see Matt, you can say I cheated against my friend, you can say I took away my friend's girlfriend, hell, you could even through the cheating on my wife thing. But thats NOTHING compared to what you did Matt! NOTHING!

Matt Hardy - Oh whats that?

"You screwed Matt" chants circle the arena

Edge - Has it EVER crossed your minds people, why Amy, or Lita never married Matt Hardy after 6 years of marriage? Well I do!

Matt Hardy - You know....

Edge - For four years, Matt Hardy and Lita had very little relationship trouble, and then, in the last 2, things started to go a little say..sour. You see Matt Hardy is a very selfish man, and while there was Mattitude V1, everything was great. But when Amy came back into the industry after a long time injured and Matt Hardy was heading to the shelf, mat started to get a little upset, and when Matt got upset, Matt showed his anger, with his FISTS! And sure, they tried to fix it, Matt at first came to RAW, Matt tried to be the loving boyfriend, but whenever he wasnt on the show, and she was, he got angry. Lita came to me because she was scared Matt, and I took care of her, yeah, I really did, all night long!

Matt Hardy looks pale in the face

Matt Hardy - You're a liar!

Edge - you know, I never really noticed how sensitive a tatoo makes your skin, but you know, when im on Lita's shoulder tatoo wow!

Matt Hardy - SHUT UP!!!!!

Carlito - Eassssy ma...

Matt Hardy immedietly hits Carlito down with a Discus Clothesline knocking Carlito to the ground. When Matt Hardy turns around, he noticed Edge smiling as his music hits, Matt standing over the knocked down Carlito, followed by the show going to a commerical break

When the show returns, the show goes straight back to ringside with the already entered Kerwin White standing in the ring checking the ropes

JR - I can't believe what just happened King?

King - What A revelation by Edge! I'm shocked! I always knew that Matt Hardy was good for nothing?

JR - You telling me you believe that?

King - Why would Edge lie JR?

JR - The man is an adulterer, he's a cheat! he always lies!

King - You telling me you've never strayed while you've been married JR? you telling you've never been tempted, with all these hot women around here? Edge is just human!

JR - King, I'm a happily married man! Either way folks, I have word that Matt Hardy earlier today officially signed once again to become a RAW superstar, check on wWE.com for more details

King - Wonderful, Eric Bischoff hires a woman beater, what's next? lets bring back a drunk like Scott Hall!

"Singular Indestructable Droid" by Papa Roach blasts of the PA system and the crowd begin to cheer as Matt Striker appears at the entrance arms raised. Striker stands at the top of the arena staring down at Kerwin White who is waiting for him in the ring. Striker walks down to the ring slapping the hands of some of the fans as he gets to the entrance, before getting into the ring and climbing the turnbuckle saluting the fans.

JR - you and I both know that if HBK wanted a match with Hogan, he could have just asked!

Josh Mathews' announce partner for Velocity is named Steve Romero, not Todd.

King - JR! I had no idea! Hell me and that no good son of mine haven't spoken...in ages.

Josh Mathews' announce partner for Velocity is named Steve Romero, not Todd.

King - JR! I had no idea! Hell me and that no good son of mine haven't spoken...in ages.

My memory might be shoddy, but I don't think Lawler has ever acknowledged the fact that Brian Lawler IS his son on-screen, though everyone knows they're related.

Possible Striker-White feud? I rather like the sound of that.

All in all, you have quite a diary here...although I'm still wondering what the backstory has to do with it.

WWE SMACKDOWN Preview

August 11th, 2005

After a week of torment for General Manager Theodore Long last week, the GM is looking to put things right this week on SMACKDOWN.

Last Week, JBL and US Champion Orlando Jordan avoided the wrath of the GM by refusing to appear on Smackdown. This week, JBL has been demanded to appear on Smackdown, placed in a No Holds Barred Match Requested by Batista himself. In this match, JBL can have no interference in the match and will have to face the Animal face to face for the first time for the World Championship. The GM has also added the stipulation that if JBL isnt to be in attendance tonight, JBL will be indefinately banned from challanging for the World Heavyweight Championship, whether Batista is, or isn't the Champion. Will this deter JBL from another week of cowardice or will JBL continue to avoid SMACKDOWN with the hope of walking into the loving arms of Eric Bischoff.

If this was the only one of the General Manager's problems, he have considered himself lucky, but last week, Theodore's Long was trashed by a man, only known by the name "Mr. Extreme". Long has declared Smackdown to be in the process of a "witch hunt" as this entity can not be looked over. Who knows when and where Mr. Extreme will strike next?

After Eddie Guerrero ran in on Rey Mysterio's Main Event Match against Christian last week on Smackdown, how will Rey Mysterio retaliate to Eddie Guerrero, and what's more, how will Christian react to Booker T sticking his nose where it doesnt belong, helping Rey Mysterio from an almost certain beat down.

Also on SMACKDOWN, Chris Benoit will go one on one against Doug Basham and William Regal will go one on one with SMACKDOWN's number one announcer, Funaki. All this and more..on Smackdown.

Long - WHAT REGAL? WHAT?

Theodore Long stands there looking impatiently at Regal

Regal - On second thoughts! Forget it! You'll see soon enough! Now, if you dont want to talk to me sunshine, thats fine! Bugger off then! go on, bugger off!

Long looks like he's about to say something but then decides against it and just walks off, leaving Regal with a sinister look upon his face

Cole - I swear Tazz, there is something mentally wrong with William Regal?

Tazz - Well Cole, lets face it, over the last year or so, Regal has been used and abused! And Regal has just cracked!

Cole - But Why against Funaki Tazz? What had Funaki done to deserve that?

Tazz - I guess he was the nearest target? Who knows whats going through his mind right now?

The camera shoots back to the ring as Hardcore Holly's music was playing ring side and Hardcore Holly was making his way down to the ring. Hardcore Holly got a good cheer from the crowd before sliding in the ring and saluting the crowd from the top of a turnbuckle. Then, Simon Dean's music followed and Dean hits the ring with his purple clothing and his Simon system bag.

WWE HEAT Preview

August 14th, 2005

Another action-packed edition of Sunday Night HEAT is on the horizon. Eric Bischoff has announced that tonight, he will be opening a show  that is sure to wet the appetite of wrestling fans.

First off, we are scheduled to have a one fall match between Steven Lewington, a thorn in the side of Eric Bischoff since he was set upon, and Snitsky. Will Snitsky finish the job tonight or will Lewington be able to have one over on the General Manager?

In addition to the show, newly signed WWE superstar Johnny Parisi will make his debut appearance on HEAT tonight where he takes on another man who has got the back up of the general Manager, Shelton Benjamin. With Bischoff's creed of being either with him or against him, will Shelton fight it out or or will he finally give in, and one again, become part of the main RAW roster. All Shelton needs to say is "you win" and he's back on RAW. Find out if he does, only on HEAT.

The Main Event of HEAT has been altered after Matt Hardy had requested to removed from tonight's line up for personal reasons. Apparently, Hardy has not taken well to the accusations made up by Edge this week. The main event is now a match between Edge and Val Venis. Will Edge win again? or will Val Venis overcome a huge obsticle in his path to becoming IC Champion once again?

Sunday 14th August

WWE HEAT starts off with a new funked up orange and black opening before shooting off the arena for the standard pyros.

Grisham - Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to SUNDAY NIGHT HEAT! I AM TODD GRISHAM!

Coach - AND I AM THE COAH! AND BABY! WE'VE GOT ONE FUNKED UP SHOW TONIGHT!

"I'm Back, and Better Than Ever" glares through the PA system and the crowd start off with some huge boos as the General Manager of RAW, Eric Bischoff makes his way to the ring.

Grisham - And what a way to start off HEAT this evening, with a rare appearance from the man himself, Eric Bischoff

Coach - I'd like to take this time to take a moment out and respect Mr. Bischoff for being the greatest General Manager in WWE history

Grisham - Oh Lord!

Eric Bischoff walks up the steps and enters the ring in hand, looking more ready than ever to kick this night off.

Bischoff - Ladies and GENTLEMEN! WELCOME TO SUNDAY NIGHT HEAT! A SHOW PROVIDED TO YOU BY THE RAW BRAND! First of all, allow me to apologise to all the people here who bought tickets to see Matt Hardy here tonight. And even if this show is this lesser of the two shows by the RAW roster, and all you guys are mugs for being here! No one disobeys Eric Bischoff. Personal reasons my ass! That's why, next Week on RAW! ITS GONNA BE! MATT HARDY! VS. TYSON TOMKO! AND THIS TIME! THIS MATCH STICKS!

The crowd cheer at Eric Bischoff's announcement!

Bischoff - As for right now, I have another piece of business to take of regarding a certain Steve Lewington. This time, last week, i decided to take a team of useless limeys to fight against my new and debuting tag team, Snitsky and the Damaja. And while Harry "Hazz" Harrison new how to play the game and got crushed, Steve Lewington decided he wanted to interfere with my business, the following day on Monday Night Raw. TONIGHT! WE END THIS! SO ALLOW ME INTRODUCE FIRST! GENE SNITSKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It Wasn't My Fault" blasts out of the PA system before Snitsky appears at the entrance to the arena looking all fired up, accompanied by the Damaja. Both men make their way into the ring, Snitsky shaking the ropes while the Damaja shakes the hand of Bischoff. Bischoff then goes to shake the hand of Snitsky but Snitksy hugs him instead leaving a shocked look on the face of Bischoff. Bischoff finally scrubs himself off and goes back to the microphone

Bischoff - INTRODUCING NEXT!

All of a sudden, Lewington's music breaks up the Bischoff talk and Bischoff looks enraged at the entrance as Steven Lewington makes his way down to the entrance with a very big smile on his face. Steven Lewington gets in the ring ignoring everyone in it, even when Eric Bischoff tries to approach him and climbs the apron getting the applause from the fans. Lewington eventually climbs down the turnbuckle and goes over to the referee...when SNITSKY ATTACKED LEWINGTON FROM BEHIND!

Bischoff - RING THE GOD DAMN BELL!

Grisham - What THE HELL! THAT AINT RIGHT?!

Coach - Eric Bischoff Masterminded again!

The referee rings the bell, this match is under way

One Fall Singles Match No DQ

Snitsky Vs. Steven Lewington

Lewington is flat on the ground after the smash from behind by Snitsky. Lewington tries to get up to his feet but Snitsky pounds him back down to the ground with a few boots. Snitsky lifts up Lewington off the ground and bodyslams him hard down to the mat before displaying the crowd with a raptuous smile which the fans booed. The Damaja slammed his hands down on the mat while Snitsky bounced off the ropes going for an elbow drop onto Lewington but Lewington rolled out of the way. Snitsky got back to his feet quickly but was met by some short punches from Lewington. Lewington hit an attempted irish whip on Snitsky, but Snitsky countered the move only to hit Lewington in the face with a big boot. Snitsky then grabbed hold of Lewington and whipped him into the turnbuckle. Snitsky charged into the corner and squashed Lewington flat against it. Snitsky then whipped Lewington into the opposite turnbuckle which Lewington crashed into before falling down to the ground. Bischoff, standing next to the Damaja told the Damaja to go get a chair while Snitksy stomped on the motionless body of Lewington. Snitsky hit a huge snapmare on Lewington, Lewington eyes dilated and dazed. The Damaja through the chair in the ring and shouted to Snitksy to get this job done and Snitsky looked at the chair in almost orgasmic state. Snitsky finally picked up the chair and he turned around eyes glared, raising the chair high above the air, as if giving him some sort of evil power, to turn around to a LOW BLOW by Lewington. Snitksy looked blinded in pain, eventually dropping the chair, Lewington gets to his feet..DDT onto the CHAIR. Lewington covers.......1...........2.......Bischoff pulls the referee out of the RING. Lewington looks up, shocked at the situation, not noticing THE BOOT COMING TOWARDS HIS FACE BY THE DAMAJA. The Damaja grabs hold of Lewington and shouts at the crowd before HITTING THE BRAIN DAMAJA ON LEWINGTON. The Damaja throws Snitsky on top of Lewington as Bischoff orders the referee on the outside who he has just been arguing with to get back into the ring to count and so he does.............1..............2...................3

Winner - Snitsky

After the match, the Damaja helps Snitsky up and all 3, Eric, Damaja and Snitksy look down at the down and out Lewington. Bischoff looks at them both!

Bischoff - You know what to do! GET THE GOD DAMN TABLE!!

Damaja and Snitksy get out of the ring and both look under seperate sides of the ring for a table. Bischoff meanwhile stands over Lewington and starts talking to him before going to slap his face but WAIT..LEWINGTON GRABS THE ARM OF BISCHOFF. Lewington gets back up as Bischoff is standing over, almost unsure of what to do, Bischoff tries to kick Lewington but this seems to enrage him further, and then he grabs the fist of Eric Bischoff and turns it around in an almost Kane-esque style. Lewington kicks Bischoff into the midsection..he's GONNA GO FOR A DDT! WAIT CHAIR SHOT FROM SNITSKY TO LEWINGTON. SNITSKY CAME FROM NO WHERE. SNITSKY stands over Lewington as he tries to get up and hits him a second time in the head busting Lewington open. The Damaja throws a table into the ring and Bischoff helps him set it up while Snitksy grabs hold of Lewington. Lewington is tossed to the Damaja as Snitsky sits on the top turnbuckle and Eric Bischoff is telling them to finish him. Snitsky is tossed up Lewington who he puts on his shoulders...POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE FROM THE TOP ROPE. LEWINGTON LOOKS CRUSHED! Snitsky sits on the top turnbuckle with a huge smile on his face as Lewington remains lifeless telling Bischoff that "it wasn't his fault". The show cuts to a commercial break

When the show returns we go right back to action last Monday Night on RAW between Kerwin White and Matt Striker

Grisham - Folks, while the violence is being cleared up in the ring, lets take you back to last Monday on RAW!

Coach - This was a match between Kerwin White and Matt Striker, set up by Kurt Angle after Matt Striker challenged Kurt Angle to a match! Matt Striker has a cheek in my opinion!

Grisham - Well thats why its your opinion Coach!

Coach - I mean! How dare he try to make a name for himself, against an Olympic hero like Kurt Angle? It's a disgrace!

Grisham - Since when were you a Kurt Angle fan?

Coach - I always have time for an olympic gold medalist!

Striker picks up Kerwin and then hits him with a fallaway slam. Striker climbs out of  the ring and goes to underneath it to pick up a kendo stick. On return to the apron the  referee blocks Striker's entry, refusing to let him enter with the weapon giving Kerwin time  to recurperate...Wait! White pushes the referee into Striker and Striker falls off the paron  onto the guard railing. White laughs at the situation and poses in the ring. WAIT! ITS CHAVO  CLASSIC IN THE RING! Chavo Classic runs down, waiting for White to turn around..CHAVO CRACKS  THE CHAIR OVER THE HEAD OF Kerwin White. But Kerwin is still standing..CHAVO HITS HIM AGAIN!  Still White refuses to fall. Chavo Classic drops the Chair..DDT ONTO THE CHAIR. Classic  rolls out of the ring and goes over to the other side where Striker is starting to get up  dazed. Chavo pushes Striker into the ring, who then  covers.........1.............2...............3

After the match, Matt Striker looks up, with a face of amazement as he is declared the  winner by the ring announcer. The referee grabs hold of Striker's arm and helps him up  before raising his arm as the winner!

JR - STRIKER! WATCH OUT!

King - IT'S KURT ANGLE!

JR - Where THE HELL did HE come from?

Angle climbs into the ring and clotheslines Striker back down from behind into the corner of  the ring. Angle gets on top of Striker and hits him down to the ground with a few hard fists  before choking him. Angle grabs Striker back up and kicks him in the midsection before  getting behind.....OLYMPIC SLAM! Angle screams "YOU'LL NEVER BEAT ME! EVER!" as Striker lays  on the ground motionless before Kurt Angle's music hits the arena.

WWE Round Up! by KOTWDave @ WrestlingWorldHeadlines.com

Thge end to the second week of the August has provided some shocking reverlations.

Lets start off with the RAW Brand.

Over the past couple of weeks, it is has been seen that once again, Eric Bischoff is starting to get himself in a bit of a divide between the people that will do what he says and the people that he disobeys. With the likes of John Cena, Big Show and Shelton Benjamin, being three big names who are part of the anti-Bischoff movement, it is not going to be easy for Bischoff to win this battle.

Bischoff however has a lot of fire power. With Chris Jericho, most likely Kurt Angle, Carlito, The Damaja and Snitsky all loyal followers of the Bischoff cause, each and everyone will be sure to do their best to make sure that the rebels come tumbling down and maybe even some title belts change hands.

Matt Hardy and Edge are at fully fledged war at the moment and neither seems willing to back down. With the added reverlation that Matt Hardy hit Lita as part of the reason that the two broke up and she went with Edge, how will this affect Matt Hardy's performance, especially if there is any truth in it. Is Edge being unfairly treated after all? Matt Hardy will not die and he will fight Edge, whether it be HEAT, RAW or at Summerslam.

As well as this, friends Kerwin White and Kurt Angle are set to team up next week against Chavo Classic and Matt Striker in a match up that is only going to help their summerslam single bouts. There is even some thought at the moment that the current interlinking of these two feuds could also lead up to the competitors swapping over enemies after summerslam. However, this idea is scepticle as there is the suggestion that Kurt Angle is going to face the WWE Champion post Summerslam.

Finally, Hulk Hogan made his return on RAW last week, as the Hogan Michaels feud continues to heat up. With Hogans stroke backstage, it is unlikely that Hogan is going to lose the Summerslam match but will Hogan stay on after Summerslam or will he go back into hiding?

In other news, it is thought that the signing of Johnny Fairplay from NWA TNA is going to lead to him joining the RAW roster. The former survivor contestant is good on the microphone and it is thought that he may be the new assistant to Bischoff although no one knows what would happen to Coach if he was to arrive.

Kid Kash is also thought to be debuting on RAW soon.

SMACKDOWN is taking a huge turning point in the eyes of experts. With Batista's underperformance at the Great American Bash and subsequent loss of the title to JBL on Smackdown, the thought is, is that Batista is out of favour with Vince McMahon. This may also mean that the Main Event for Wrestlemania 22 will be changed, as it was previously thought to be a Batista Vs. Orton main event.

William Regal is certainly seeming to get a huge push at the moment. While some people think that this could transend into a Main Event push, most people think it is more likely to put William Regal back up as a strong contender for the US title rather than anything else.

In regards to the EGW invasion, the current thought is that this storyline is going to go on for a couple of months with the subsequent firing of Theodore Long and the appointment of Andolloni as GM of Smackdown. While nothing can be confirmed, there was the notion that the WWE were unhappy with Theodore Long's current work as GM with a decreasing amount of importance on the Show, and Andolloni will give Smackdown more of the feeling that Bischoff gives RAW.

Thank you for reading!

BREAKING NEWS -Christian News, Wrestling Releases and More

For those who were at the Smackdown house show last night, this would not have come as a surpise but unfortunately, Christian damaged his ankle ligaments in a match last night with Rey Mysterio and as a result, it scheduled to be out of action for the forth coming months. It is thought at present that this could be as long as 4 months but with luck, most likely 2. The WWE wishes him well and we hope he has a speedy recovery.

Source - WWE.com

As of right now, no one is certain of how this is going to affect the current Rey Mysterio/Eddie Guerrero storyline that is going on in Smackdown, which last week, Christian got involved in.

In other news, the WWE have also announced the release of two roster members. These wrestlers are:

Candice Michelle,

Michelle McCool

While it is thought more are on the way, to many, it is not that much of a suprise as even though they have good looks, they were never being used on the shows and so were just added wage bill.

A reliable source to the Pro Wrestling Source has also informed people of this possible spoiler for Summerslam: HIGHLIGHT BELOW TO READ SPOILER!

The current thought that is going round backstage is that Randy Savage may make a suprise return at Summerslam to cause Hogan to lose the match to HBK allowing HBK to push for the WWE title while also setting up a Cena vs. HBK match as it is everyones opinion right now that it will be Cena who will overcome Jericho at the PPV. Savage returning to the WWE would also guarantee him a Legends contract which he has been trying to negotiate and also setting up a probable Wrestlemania Match against Hogan. This would probably mean Hogan dissapearing after Summerslam and allowing Savage to play around for a while before coming back to the money maker. However, at the moment, this is no more than a rumour and it has no real proof to its background

After the allegiance between Kurt Angle and Kerwin White last week on RAW, Kurt Angle and Kerwin White are also set to team up against their enemies, Matt Striker and Chavo Guerrero Snr. respectively.

With the premature return of Hulk Hogan last week on RAW, what will the WWE Legend have to say this week on RAW, with just 2 weeks before Summerslam.
