WWE: Late 2006 (From December 2006)

[Adam]

A pretty decent show, with just about every match going the way i wanted it to

I dont see the point in giving Rey the CW belt, now he;s tasted world title gold he should never be bumped back to the Cruiserweights again. Helms makes a great champion and, although he has to lose it eventually, now isnt the time, and not to Rey.

I still think Chavo needs to end this feud with the belt, his push needs to continue IMO.

MNM and The Hardyz was a very solid match, definitely one of the better points of the show. All four men are reat singles prospects, so i can't wait to see where you go with all four of these guys.

DX taking the belts...err, im not too sure on it, but its not a bad thing by any means. As for X-Pac's return, im, not a big fan, but again, itll be interesting to see what happens next and whether DX will gain any more members. Id love to see you do something with the VKM stuff from TNA. Anyway, another solid match, nice write-up.

Batista and Cena's victories are also wise moves, you actually made both of these matches seem pretty damn good, as i didnt think youd be able too. As for Jericho's return, i LOVE it, and as ive said too often already, i cant wait to see where it goes, KUTGW! (Y)

Hey D-Maz,

Just had a read through the show and I've gotta say, you've got some good stuff going on.

First of all the Pros

Pros:

*Helms retaining the Gold! Great Stuff

*MNM/Hardyz Match

*Chris Jericho and X-Pac returning

*The Main Event

- Overall some good stuff there that you can build on. X-Pac could be great, it could be poor. He's a good wrestler but you're really going to have to go out of your way to bring him up to the level that Michaels and HHH are at. Good luck with that. Jericho > Most at the moment so you could do absolutely anything with him! Good luck good sir!

Cons:

*Wasn't sure about the Batista Match - Booker has been quite strong as of late but even with all that talent interfereing, he couldnt beat Batista (shame)

*Benoit winning again over Chavo - I see Chavo winning this title eventually and I love Benoit. I just hope this doesnt get dragged on more than it should. Could be painful otherwise

*Rey Rey getting jobbed to Cruiserweight level and then him being happy that Elix Skipper is coming...Rey former World Champ but happy to see Skipper come save the day? Either you're gonna push Skipper to the Main Event or Rey has been dumped on lol...either way, you could turn this around; it just seems that way right now...

Thats about it man! Overall, I'd say the show was great...a few minor things but the only match that really bummed me was the Batista match. Everything else was fine and things like Rey and Benoit can be easily resolved. I'm just unsure where you are going right now! Keep up the very good work mate! A good read!

[Exodia The Forbidden One]

Well done on Armageddon and wooo i got second (tied)

Pros:

Helms retaining Cruiserweight title over Mysterio

X-Pac's return

Jericho's return

Involving the VKM angle (good and bad) - it will work well if done properly

Benoit retaining U.S. title over Chavo Guerrero (send him back to the Cruiserweight division for 2007)

Cons:

Involving the VKM angle - if you dont work it well, itll fail.

DX winning Tag Titles - two main event superstars holding the tag belts, can they even lose them with so much less over tag teams on the roster.

Cena winning the WWE title - 4-time WWE Champion already? I hope some good turn around happens like Orton and Edge splitting and Orton winning the WWE title, he deserves it more than Cena and puts alot more effort into matches.

All together, good show.

Monday Night Raw:

Boston, Massachusetts: Christmas Day Special 2006

On a special Christmas Day edition of Raw the fallout from Armageddon will be very much felt here tonight on Raw as new WWE Champion John Cena will team up with Batista and a mystery worker to face off against the former WWE and ECW Champion the angry giant; The Big Show, The king of Smackdown King Booker and Paul Heyman’s bodyguard being Nick Dinsmore. The main question is who is the mystery partner and from what rumours have been saying is that John Cena and Batista won’t know who the partner is. Will good prevail over heel?

The only match that features Raw only wrestlers will be the big Intercontinental Title clash between the former champion Jeff Hardy and the newest edition to Raw making only his 2nd match appearance being Perfect Simon Diamond. Simon has a huge opportunity to win the IC Title with Bobby Heenan already managed champions before could he have one more champion to add to his clients? Jeff Hardy however will have to bring his A-Game after him and his brother Matt lost to MNM thanks to there newest friend Tommy Suave…Question is will Jeff be fit enough for this match?

In a special interpromotional singles match up Raw’s hottest new rookie Siaki who came close to earning a tag title shot on hEat’s battle royal will face off against the man that beat Chavo Guerrero this Sunday to defend the US Title that man being Chris Benoit. Chris Benoit is a former World Champion and this could be a big match for Siaki and a win over Benoit will increase his stock worth and with Ric Flair in his corner can Siaki pull out the big one?

A huge 12 man tag match has been set by both Teddy Long and Eric Bischoff that will feature great wrestlers in this match up with feuds looking to be settled. The feud of Rated RKO and D-X will clash in this match up as they’ll be on opposite teams. Joining Rated RKO is the fighting Irishman Finlay who will look to duel with Bobby Lashley who is with D-X. The next people to enter is the team of MNM: Mercury and Nitro who with their newest friend Tommy Suave will face off against Matt Hardy and two of the most dominant wrestlers in the business Kane and The Undertaker. Which team will prevail is the big question here tonight?

Gregory Helms has been on a rampage in the Cruiserweight Division and looks set to add a new name to his list of challengers beaten. “Prime Time” Elix Skipper will make his WWE debut against Helms as the two former WCW workers will hope to walk away with the Cruiserweight title… only one can walk away will it be the newcomer or the man who beat Rey Mysterio at Armageddon only one night ago?

The huge Christmas day annoucement will take place… What is it?

Chris Jericho will return as a guest on Carlito's Cabana.... What could possibly happen here?

Also set to appear:

Umaga

X-Pac

Nova & The Miz

CM Punk

Ken Kennedy

Muhammed Hassan

Monday Night Raw: Christmas Day Special

Live from Boston, Massachusetts

…To be loved by Papa Roach hit’s the speakers and the sound of fans cheering as we are on not only the fallout from Armageddon but it’s Christmas Day and Raw is in the house!!! JR, Mike Sanders and Jerry Lawler run down the card and hype the new announcement that will take place here tonight. The King talks about the draft that will take place.

Backstage we see Vince McMahon who is dressed up in festive spirit opening some Christmas presents when the Coach bursts in. Vince tells Coach that the two Velocity shows a month will host some new and exciting talent and 3 matches set for it’s debut he cannot wait… But he’s concentrating on tonight as it’s a big night for Monday Night Raw!!! Merry Christmas everybody!!!

Gregory Helms © VS Elix Skipper- WWE Cruiserweight Title.

Walk this way- By Run DMC and Aerosmith starts to play on the speakers and the lights turn disco ball style. Elix Skipper to a nice pop from the Boston crowd comes out to make his WWE debut in a Cruiserweight Title match. As soon as he gets in the ring, Gregory Helms comes running down to his music and slides into the ring, dropping the belt and starting the match.

Gregory with sharp lefts before going into the ropes only to be met by a Dropkick. Elix goes for an elbow drop but Helms rolls and goes for a leg drop, with Elix countering by grabbing the legs and a leg drop to the groin!!! Skipper goes to the 2nd rope and double stomp to the chest. Prime Time is building up a head of steam and the crowd chant his name and he lifts Helms to his feet. Signals up high grabbing Gregory Helms… He has him in an Overdrive position in what he calls “Play of the Day”….. Helms with a low blow and Skipper falls to the ground in a ball. The champ bounces off the ropes and Shining Wizard leading to a cover. 1,2,3 and just like that Gregory Helms is still the Cruiserweight Champion.

Winner and still Cruiserweight Champion- Gregory Helms- Pinfall

Backstage we see MNM and Tommy Suave talking about the result of Armageddon where they beat the Hardy Boyz. The Irishman Finlay enters the room and says that tonight with team Rated RKO they will all face off against their enemies in the ring and that they all need to get ready.

Michael Cole is standing by with Siaki and Ric Flair who tonight will face off against Chris Benoit in a special cross brand match. Ric tells Michael that this is a great chance for Siaki to prove his worth against one of the greats in the WWE. If he can beat Benoit than people will start to take his abilities a whole lot more serious and soon Siaki will get a title shot.

Chris Benoit VS Siaki- Cross Brand Challenge

Disturbed with Shout 2000 hit’s the speakers and Siaki with manager Ric Flair make their way down to the ring, representing Raw as they both climb into the ring and talk to the ref. Chris Benoit’s music hits and the United States champion representing Smackdown sprints down towards the ring and slides in. Holding his title aloft as the camera focuses backstage where Chavo Guerrero and Vickie Guerrero are standing watching the match on one of the monitors.

Both men lock up in the ring and Siaki pushes Benoit away and the Raw fans cheer, both men lock up once more and Chris Benoit shoves Siaki to the mat and the Smackdown fans in attendance roar out. Siaki obviously pissed off now jumps to his feet and goes for a clothesline only for Benoit to duck and shimmy behind him and 1 German suplex!!! Followed by another and one more for good luck!! Siaki is down on the mat as Ric Flair screams for him to get back into this. Chris drags Siaki over to the turnbuckle and starts to pummel him in the corner before kicking him in the head to keep him down. Chris Benoit climbs to the top rope and Ric Flair dives onto the apron causing a distraction to the ref. Chavo Guerrero comes running down the apron and pushes Chris off the turnbuckle and the crowd don’t like it one bit!!!! Siaki rolls to his feet and lifts Benoit to his feet and…. SIAKALYPSE!!!! Cover by Siaki 1,2,3 and just like that Cocky Siaki has managed to pin Chris Benoit the US Champion in 1-1 thanks to some help from Chavo Guerrero.

Winner: Siaki- Pinfall

The Miz is in the canteen with Nova as they look over at Cryme Tyme who are having an arm wrestling match with Ken Kennedy and CM Punk and Nova says to Miz that these 4 men are prime examples of people who are receiving a push over them. Cryme Tyme are trying to be forced to get over with the people. The Miz grabs a turkey off the counter and walks up to CM Punk and slaps him with the Turkey causing all 4 men to get up from their chairs… Miz shouts Hoorah Bitches!!! Nova flips one of the dinner tables and tells all 4 men to enjoy their pushes cause Nova and Miz are on the up…. Cryme Tyme grab 2 pies and throw them and the pies splatter on Miz and Nova’s faces. CM Punk and Ken Kennedy grab some pudding and hurl them at Cryme Tyme and we’ve got a food fight on our hands!!!!! Suddenly Umaga comes running in and clotheslines Cryme Tyme before picking Miz up and hurling him into the kitchen. Kennedy makes a dive for safety but Umaga picks him up and drops him with a Samoan Drop through a dining table and Nova screams that Umaga is nothing more than a prime example of a no talent getting a huge push…. Only for Nova to get a Samoan Spike as Umaga has laid them all out.

Matt Hardy is with the Brothers of Destruction, D-X and Lashley as 5 men say that they are going to spill the blood of their enemies, Undertaker doesn’t say anything just staring at the door.

From one Hardy to another as we are in Eric Bischoff’s office as Bobby Heenan and Jeff Hardy are in the room. Bobby says to Eric that Simon cannot wrestle tonight because of a stomach virus which has affected him for tonight’s match up. Bobby pulls out a doctors note and hands it to Eric and Jeff is livid. Saying if Simon cannot compete than he should be named the champion right not. Eric tells Jeff that he will still be in action but won’t be the champion as the match is postponed to next week. Jeff will square off against Monty Brown and Mark Henry!!!

Mark Henry & Monty Brown VS Jeff Hardy- Cross Brand Challenge- Handicap 2-1

Jeff doesn’t seem pretty happy as he staggers down to the ring in disbelief being forced to face two big men of Smackdown in a handicap match. Three 6 Mafia with Somebody’s gonna get it hit’s the speakers and out comes The Worlds Strongest Man who seems rather pissed off as he climbs over the top rope and stares down Jeff Hardy. Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses hit’s the speakers and Monty Brown runs down the ramp and slides into the ring as the bell rings both the big men start to pummel the holy hell out of Jeff Hardy. Mark Henry lifts Jeff up high and tosses him towards Monty who catches him and hit’s a fall away slam over the ropes and Jeff hit’s the floor hard. Monty and Mark start to laugh as they both slide out the ring and take cheap shots at Jeff as the ref starts to count towards 10. Monty grabs Jeff by the hair and tosses him back into the ring. Mark climbs onto the top turnbuckle and Monty slides into the ring setting Jeff up…. POUNCE!!!! Jeff goes down hard right near the turnbuckle where Mark Henry is and… Top Rope Splash!!!!! Mark covers Jeff 1,2,3 and just like that Jeff Hardy has been decimated by the two big men of Smackdown.

Winners: Mark Henry and Monty Brown- Pinfall

Backstage we see MNM and Tommy Suave beating the holy hell out of Matt Hardy just about until DX come running in with X-Pac and they start to brawl with MNM and Suave… Rated RKO come in with chairs and go to smash X-Pac but he ducks and Rated RKO take out Suave!!! The Brothers of Destruction and Lashley run over and the two brothers grab MNM by the throats and double Chokeslam!!!! The Fighting Irishman Finlay with a lead pipe hits Lashley over the head knocking him out before he smacks Shawn Michaels with the pipe… HHH grabs Finlay and throws him into a pile of crates and Edge charges at HHH and spears him!!!! The only people left standing are Rated RKO and The Brothers of Destruction as X-Pac checks on Hunter and Shawn. Randy goes for an RKO on Kane but the Big Red Machine turns Randy around and scoops him up looking for a Tombstone. Edge backs away from Taker running to safety as Kane hit’s the Tombstone on Randy sending him head first on the concrete floor. Paramedics come rushing over to check on the people down on the floor as Kane and Taker walk away with this match seemingly over before it has even begun.

We are back in the ring as Carlito is ready to host the Cabana. He says “his guest tonight was the 1st ever Undisputed Champion and has had success in the music business with his band. Please welcome Chris Jericho!!!”, The countdown starts and the music plays with the smoke covering the ramp… Jericho is standing at the top of the ramp as he makes his way down on his Raw Return. Jericho is in the ring and Carlito asks him why did he decide to come back to the WWE?, Jericho replies by saying where else was he gonna go…wrestling is in his blood and he felt it was time to return. Carlito smiles before asking Jericho why did he get involved in Big Show/Cena/Heyman’s business at the end of the match? Jericho replies by saying that Paul Heyman is a snake and will do anything so he has control over the top guys and Cena winning stopped him… So he thought he could run away with the titles, I couldn’t let that happen and anyway… I’m back for more reasons than 1... Those being I want to become Champion once more, I want to be the top guy in professional wrestling and the third being I must have a match with Cena at one bit for the fact that the guy got me fired last time I was on Raw…. Suddenly from the back comes Nick Dinsmore who slides into the ring and clotheslines Chris Jericho!!! Dinsmore grabs the microphone wire and starts to choke out Chris Jericho before Carlito pushes Nick Dinsmore…. Nick goes to swing at Carlito but the man from the Caribbean ducks and dropkicks Dinsmore sending him rolling out of the ring as Carlito helps Jericho back to his feet.

We are back on Raw as Vince McMahon is on the big screen. Vince says “Armageddon was a huge hit and 2007 is going to be even bigger… But for tonight he promised an announcement… Well he’s got 2 and one is about the mystery tag partner for Cena and Batista, the other is about a new competition. The competition will take place starting next month and will end at No Way Out where the final will be held. 4 groups of 4 wrestlers. 3 matches per group with the winner of a match receiving 1 point. The top two placed wrestlers in each group will advance where the winner of group A faces runner up of B and so on. Two groups will feature Raw stars and the other two will feature Smackdown stars so we are guarantied some interpromotional matches. The group stages will take place in January and the latter stages in Feb. The winner of the tournament will face off against the winner of the King of The Ring to be held in June in a PPV match at Summerslam with a title match against their brands champion. I call this tournament the WWE Elite Cup!!! It makes the WWE more interesting the idea of an Elite Cup and the KOTR…The 2nd Announcement is that Cena and Batista’s partner is a man who is the future of the wrestling industry, He’s already made waves and is set for big things. The partner for Cena and Batista is….. SAMOA JOE!!!!!!

John Cena/Samoa Joe/Batista VS Big Show/Nick Dinsmore/King Booker

The crowd are going mental as Samoa Joe walks down the ramp to Boom by POD as he makes his WWE debut. He climbs through the ropes as Nick Dinsmore still down by the ring after assaulting Chris Jericho looks on pretty nervously. The Time is Now hit’s the speakers and the new WWE champion John Cena comes down the ramp and gets into the ring where he hugs his friend. Batista’s music hits and out comes the World Heavyweight champion as it seems this is a super tag team. Big Show’s music hits and out comes the giant followed closely by Paul Heyman but King Booker’s music interrupts Show’s and out comes the King obviously pissed off about Armageddon. As Heyman’s team huddle up outside.

Nick Dinsmore looks set to start off the match and Samoa Joe decides to start off for his team as both men lock up. Joe pushes Nick Dinsmore away and Nick isn’t happy as he comes running over but Joe sweeps Nick and hit’s the S.T.O as the crowd are wild for Joe. Heyman whispers something in Big Show’s ear and Show nods as Nick Dinsmore slowly crawls over to Big Show and tags him in as Joe stands there smiling. Big Show grabs Joe by the throat but Joe kicks Show in between the legs before kicking him in the side of the leg causing him to fall to one knee. Samoa Joe runs to the ropes and bounces back with a Yakuza kick to the face of Big Show sending him down to the mat

The fans start to chant “Joes gonna kill yer” and Samoa Joe smiles as he hit’s the soccer kick to the spine of Big Show before tagging in John Cena. The crowd are going nuts as Cena does the ole You Can’t See Me taunt and comes off the ropes with the 5 Knuckle Shuffle!!!! King Booker has seen enough as he jumps off the apron grabbing his crown and walking towards the back. John Cena climbs to the 2nd rope and does a 5 Knuckle Shuffle off there and the WWE champ tags in Batista who signals for the Batista Bomb!! Big Show slowly gets to his feet and Batista is ready to pounce but Nick Dinsmore pulls Show out the ring and the crowd don’t like that one bit.

Samoa Joe climbs off the apron and runs around the ring towards Nick Dinsmore and a running Enzuigiri to Nick Dinsmore!!! Joe slides Show back into the ring and Samoa Joe grabs Dinsmore and has him set up for a Muscle Buster… He hits it on the outside and Dinsmore is long gone now as Show gets to his feet walking straight into a Batista Spinebuster!! John Cena grabs Show and locks him in the STFU!!!! Show tries to grab the bottom rope but he can’t and taps out to the pain as the faces win this huge 6-man tag match.

Paul Heyman grabs the title again and tries to make a run up the ramp once more but Jericho comes from the back and drops Heyman on his back. He grabs his legs and The Walls of Jericho!!!! Heyman screams in anguish as the shows comes to an end.

A good show, some decent matches and more good storyline progression. I particularly liked the random food fight backstage and the main event. This Elite Cup thing seems a little strange, what with the long wait for the shot at a shot at the title, but its different i suppose, KUTGW

Friday Night Smackdown Preview: 29/1/06

Live from Springfield, Massachusetts

This Friday night marks the last night for WWE in the year 2006 plus it'll be the last show in the USA till Feb… and what a show it's going to be. The main event will feature WWE Champion John Cena and Batista once again facing off against King Booker and Big Show. These four wrestlers are great fighters and after King Booker walked away from the 6 man tag on Raw what could possibly happen here?

Friday Night Smackdown is known for having some of the best young up and comers in the wrestling industry and tonight is going to feature 3 of those up and comers. Ken Kennedy, CM Punk and Paul Burchill will all go face to face in a special triple threat which might not happen again thanks to the draft set for New Years Day. It’s a perfect time to shine and who will grab the ball and run for glory in this highly anticipated match up?

Gregory Helms has been Cruiserweight Champion for nearly an entire year now and he managed to beat Rey Mysterio in 1-1 action at Armageddon before beating the debuting Elix Skipper at Raw. Current Smackdown GM Theodore Long who since the announcement of him possibly being out of a job has seen him become a bit cautious and edgy trying desperatly to impress the WWE Board. So leading to make Gregory Helms defend in a 6 pack challenge and the title can be changed by a DQ or Count Out. The competitors that the champ has to face include Raws very own Carlito, Johnny Nitro and Super Crazy. While Smackdown will pick Bryan Danielson and Juvi Guerrera. Could we see a new champion?

This match will be for the WWE Tag Titles as the Worlds Greatest Tag Team will defend their golden straps against a team of well how can we put this. An annoying cocky twerp thinking he’s popular and a man who’s gone plain crazy and having a mental break down. That’s right Nova and The Miz will get a chance at the gold!! Will WGTT pull off another great performance and keep the gold or will the challengers manage to pull of an amazing feat?

Muhammed Hassan was angry backstage at Raw after the food fight and has decided to make an open challenge to anyone from the WWE or even another promotion to step up and fight. Muhammed Hassan also stated that he will announce which set of tag champions he will face off against in January and what date. Who will he fight and what tag titles will he go for?

Plus:

Special interview with D-X and Rated RKO

Samoa Joe

Bobby Heenan and Simon Diamond

And many many more!!!!

Scheduled Matches:

Batista/John Cena VS King Booker/Big Show

CM Punk VS Ken Kennedy VS Paul Burchill

Cruiserweight Title- 6 Pack Challenge- Helms ©, Danielson, Crazy, Juvi, Carlito, Nitro

WWE Tag Title- WGTT © VS Nova and The Miz

Rey Mysterio in Trouble? + Finlay update

Many had wondered why Rey Mysterio lost the Cruiserweight title match and had dropped considerbly down the card. Well we have learnt the reasons for this was that Rey Mysterio has now gone to rehab for a drug problem. He was caught in a bad state at the hotel the day before Armageddon and so WWE decided to stick with Gregory Helms as the Cruiserweight champion. Rey also was in trouble for some harsh words against some of the agents in the back on a local radio station some time ago and that also put him in hot water. It is yet unknown when Rey will come back or even if he will come back to the WWE.

Finlay was becoming a major part in the WWE and that seems to have been put to a halt at the moment. Finlay has gone into medical care/rehab after injuring himself from Drink Driving. We don't know as of yet his medical state but when he is fit enough he has decided to gone to rehab. No news on his return but he is expected to stick with WWE and not get fired.

TNA + PWG+ ROH stars put pen to paper

Matt Bentley, Jay Lethal, Petey Williams and Eric Young of TNA fame have all jumped ship and will head towards OVW to get some extra training before debuting with the WWE

Human Tornado, Joey Ryan and Davey Richards from PWG have also joined WWE and will too go to OVW

Jimmy Jacobs, Jimmy Rave, Mark Briscoe and Jay Briscoe from ROH have signed development deals with the company.

With the new year coming up this seems to be the work of WWE's scouting initiative for future stars as reported a few weeks ago and the wrestlers signed are expected to become hot property in the future and these signings would add depth to any roster.

Firings

WWE would like to wish the following wrestlers the best for the future.

Hardcore Holly, Lance Cade, Chuck Palumbo, Mark Henry, The Boogeyman, Rodney Mack, Ernest Miller, The Blue Meanie, Stevie Richards and Sylvester Turkay

[Exodia The Forbidden One]

Good christmas day RAW and i'll be sure to read the Smackdown.

[DaveKOTW]

Interesting show man that definately had its ups and downs.

Cena/Joe/Batista B Show/Dinsmore/Booker:

The Main Event itself was entertaining enough although I can't help but feel that it is slightly stacked in the favour of the Faces. You're pushing Joe very quickly and he's looking good but be wary of an over push that will cause the fans to take a dislike for him. I enjoyed the finish.

Henry/Brown B Jeff Hardy:

Now that is a team you can bank on. I can't believe you released Henry because I actually would have liked to see more from these two. Brown has a lot of potential and it will be interesting to see how you use him in the future. I don't feel handicap matches are the ideal for him though

Siaki B Chris Benoit:

You really like Siaki don't you? Nevertheless, a good match and Siaki is getting nothing less than a baby Jesus push at the moment. Make sure you keep on the ball wih him if you want to push him as the worst thing you can do to someone who is coming up like him (thinking of Kennedy in mind) is then simply get bored and forget about him. Guerrero costing Benoit was agood end.

Helms B Skipper:

Nothing much to report really except for the fact it was a solid match. Wouldnt mind seeing a new champ soon though..

In addition to some interesting releases, i'm not sure if I'm happy seeing Vito return, refurbished or whatever. I'm not a big fan of his work man. Oh, and it would seem that you have a very unhealthy obsession for the Miz! YOU NEED A REALITY CHECK MAN! lol

Not a bad show overall, looking forward to Smackdown! Good Luck

Friday Night Smackdown: 29/1/06

Live from Springfield, Massachusetts

Forgotten by Linkin Park hit’s the speakers and the normal Smackdown intro begins as we are Live for the last Smackdown of 2006 and what a show we have got install. John Cena will take on King Booker and Batista will take on Big Show. The camera cuts backstage where Muhammed Hassan is standing by with Michael Cole.

Michael Cole goes to ask Muhammed Hassan a question but the wrestler grabs the microphone. He says he got kicked off Smackdown because he is Arab-American and tonight he’s on Smackdown on the CW Network and not on UPN. Tonight he’s focused and determined to beat the holy hell out of whoever dares step into the same ring as him. He also said that he would tell which tag title he was going to go after and he stated that he’s going to fight the tag champions of D-X at Monday Night Raw in a Steel Cage Match with is mystery tag partner. Hassan drops the microphone and heads for the ring.

Muhammed Hassan VS ?- Open Challenge

Muhammed Hassan comes down to the ring cockily and ready to fight as he climbs into the ring. Daivari comes scuttling down to stay with his client and friend for this match up. The lights go off and the crowd are anticipating who could possibly be challenging Muhammed Hassan here to this match.

Not a bad show, not a bad show at all, i dont like seeing Hassan being made a bitch, certainly not at the hands of Samoa Joe!

Interesting angle with DX not showing up (yet)

Nova & Miz are a weird tag team, dunno where its going tbh

Some nice matches this week, the main event was pretty good too, good show

Finally, i think i know whats going on with Miz's legend challenge, and it seems weird, lol

Monday Night Raw: January 1st 2007

Live from: Paris, France

At Monday Night Raw it’s the day that WWE will change for the better as a brand new draft is taking place and everyone is involved whether it be Wrestlers, Commentators, Managers or just staff. Where will each wrestler go and what will it mean for Smackdown and Raw?

Before the draft takes place though expect to find out whether Eric Bischoff and Teddy Long have done enough to secure there jobs and if not. Who will replace them?

In the Main Event on Raw however there will be a clash of the faces as Chris Jericho and John Cena square off for the 1st time since Jericho lost to Cena which caused him to get fired. Jericho has stopped Heyman trying to run away with the title but what is Y2J’s agenda for tonight?

Chavo Guerrero has been feuding with Chris Benoit for a while but when it comes to US Title Shots, Chavo hasn’t had any luck on his side. That could change tonight as the two are set to square off once more for the gold. Will Chavo finally beat Benoit In a title match or will the Crippler defend once again?

Simon Diamond has only had 1 match in the WWE and already he’s set for a chance to win the IC Title. With Bobby Heenan on his side “Perfect” Simon Diamond will have to use all of his skills to defeat the high flying Jeff Hardy. Jeff felt he should have been given the gold after RVD got injured because he was the last champion but the two will fight for the gold. Who will win?

D-X beat Rated RKO at Armageddon. On Raw they brawled backstage and on Smackdown, D-X got the better hand. This week though they will be facing two completely different people as Muhammed Hassan won the right to a Tag Title Shot and he gets to pick his own partner…. But the match will be inside a Steel Cage. Who will Hassan’s partner be and will we crown new champs?

Gregory Helms has for over the past year beat all comers for the Cruiserweight Title. Whether it be Rey Mysterio, Elix Skipper, Shannon Moore you name it. But tonight he will defend against an unknown opponent. Teddy Long hasn’t given us any hints but there could be a possibility that the wrestler might be making his debut. Who is it and can he win?

The Miz is set to make a challenge to a legend in the WWE the only question is who will it be and why is Miz risking his life and limbs by thrusting himself into danger?

Also set to appear:

The Smackdown and Raw Rosters

John Cena runs over but Edge ducks and Cena goes into Jericho eliminating him and the Rated R Superstar runs to the other side of the ring and comes charging over looking for the spear but Cena pulls the top rope and Edge goes over and tumbles to the floor as John Cena has won the battle royal!!!

Hmmm dude, what can I saay about your show

you definately had some odd choices of matches and I was shocked to see so many title changes on one show. I mean, I think it was four - nevertheless, you insisted that this is a new era of RAW and yeah, fine I guess I can dig that.

Chavo beating Benoit was an interesting choice. Personally I wasnt sure that Chavo was getting over but thats fine

Scotty winning the Cruiserweight Championship? In the words of The Hurricane.....WHATS UP WIT DAT? Maaaaaaaaaan the worm is back...i hope someone kills it proper this time!

Lol @ Khali and Hassan as tag team Champions. The thought of Khali tagging in and out of a match would be the funniest thing ever.......Hall and Nash returning...i smell NWO vs. DX...interesting......

Simond Diamond IC Champ......could have been saved for a PPV IMO but fair enough.

The Main Event was alright...got the job done I guess...who's gonna be the #1 Contender for Cena's title now!

Overall the show was definately interesting.......the roster changes were quite severe too so i'll see whre you're going with that!

I look forward to your next show! (All done now? )
