March 23rd, 2009 Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Attendance: 13,846
Raw opens by showing a video package of last week’s events. It shows clips of the John Cena vs. Batista match and how in the end, Randy Orton walked up the ramp, leaving his three ‘Mania opponents and two Legacy teammates behind.
Jerry “The King” Lawler and Michael Cole greet us to another edition of WWE Raw. They remind us that once again two of the participants in WrestleMania’s World Title match will go at it in singles action tonight. Those two men being Batista & Chris Jericho. A few weeks back Jericho defeated John Cena and a week after that, Randy Orton beat Batista in these singles matches. They are cut off by the fireworks of Chris Jericho.
Singles Match Batista vs. Chris Jericho
Everybody seemed surprised that this match was kicking off the show and it turned out to be a very solid contest. These two picked up right where they left off back in the fall when they traded the World Heavyweight Title. Batista held the early advantage by nailing some power moves. He delivered some shoulder thrusts in the corner to Jericho until Jericho leapt up over one and hit a sunset flip for a two count. Jericho hit him with a bulldog but again Batista kicked out. Jericho continued to control the match until Batista hit him with a spinebuster from out of nowhere. He covered but only two. Batista shook the ropes to rally the crowd and picked up Jericho for the Batista Bomb, but Jericho fired off some punches to the head. Batista would not go down and he dropped Jericho for the win.
Winner: Batista (11:06) **¾
Commercial Break.
We return to from commercial and Randy Orton’s theme music hit. He comes to the ring with Legacy and grabs a microphone. He begins to talk about winning the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania and going on to becoming the one man dynasty again. After talking about that for a while, he turns his attention to Manu. He is upset with Manu because he’s not doing anything with his career. He mentions that Cody is in the Money in the Bank match and when he wins it he will cash in his shot against the WWE Champion so that he & Orton can both be at the top of the WWE. Meanwhile, Manu has just done nothing, and last week on Velocity he even lost to Val Venis. Orton says that Venis hasn’t been relevant in the WWE since his name was Chief Morley. He tells Manu that he better step his game up real soon if he wants to stick around. He says that Rhodes is going to show Manu what you do when you face Val Venis right now.
Singles Match Cody Rhodes w/ Randy Orton & Manu vs. Val Venis
This was pretty much a complete squash as Orton and Rhodes just wanted to prove to Manu that if he wants to be a part of Legacy he needs to pick up wins. Venis got in a few moves but it was basically all Rhodes, who finished it with the Cross Rhodes.
Winner: Cody Rhodes (3:54) **
After the match Legacy got in the ring and began to beat on Venis. Orton finished it off with a punt to Venis’ head. World Champion John Cena ran down to the ring and ran off Legacy.
Commercial Break.
Divas Tag Team Match Mickie James & Melina vs. Jillian Hall & Candice Michelle
Candice worked as a heel in this match, but it still looks like she’s not going to get back into the Women’s Title picture anytime soon as she barely got in any offense. This match was pretty much dominated by the face tag team as Mickie nailed Candice with the Mick Kick and Melina dropped Jillian with the Last Call to end it.
Winners: Melina & Mickie James (5:17) **¼
After the match, Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix slowly made her way down the ramp and was sarcastically clapping for Melina and Mickie’s victory. The Divas Champion, Natalya ran in the ring from behind and took out Melina. Mickie began to trade fists with her but Beth got in and hit her with the Glam Slam. They celebrated in the ring as we cut backstage.
In the back, Todd Grisham cut an interview with the World Champion John Cena and he asked him about his match next week with Randy Orton. Cena mentioned that with Batista’s win tonight, his three ‘Mania opponents have all picked up singles victories in the past few weeks. He hasn’t. He promises to pick up a win next week and to retain his title at WrestleMania.
Commercial Break.
We return to the announcement of our next 2009 Hall of Fame inductee. It will be “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson. “Double A” will be inducted by fellow Four Horsemen member, JJ Dillon. Next, we are told that Donald Trump will be at WrestleMania 25 and he will also be a special guest time keeper.
Commercial Break.
Money in the Bank Preview Match Rey Mysterio vs. Shelton Benjamin
This would’ve stolen the show on most nights, but with HBK/Punk still to come, this wasn’t a guarantee to be the best match. With that said, this was still a fantastic match. Both men put on a great show and they got a lot of time to showcase their skills. Benjamin won the battle on the mat, while Mysterio won the battle in the air. Rey went for the 619 but Shelton moved out of the way. He ended up hitting a turnbuckle powerbomb on Mysterio but only got a two count. Eventually, Mysterio got back on the upper hand and hit his springboard splash onto Benjamin. He covered but at the two count, Benjamin rolled over on top of him and covered him for three.
Winner: Shelton Benjamin (10:19) ***¾
Benjamin celebrates as he goes up the ramp, while Mysterio looks on in shock of how he lost. We cut to the backstage area, where we see Shawn Michaels and CM Punk walking to the ring area on a split screen. Our main event is next!
Commercial Break.
Non-Title Match Intercontinental Champion CM Punk vs. Shawn Michaels
Wow. That’s all that can be said about this match. These two went back and forth and battled for a long time. Punk seemed to be a step ahead of Michaels early on in the match. Michaels turned that around by being a step ahead of him mentally. Each man hit their signature spots; Michaels hit his flying forearm and kip-up while Punk hit the knee strike/bulldog combo in the corner. Eventually, Paul Burchill attempted a run in but was met with Sweet Chin Music from HBK. JBL tried a run in right after but Punk stopped him from getting in the ring and laid him out. This led to the end of the match as Michaels went for Sweet Chin Music on Punk, but he ducked it and hoisted HBK onto his shoulders and hit the GTS for the upset victory.
Winner: Intercontinental Champion CM Punk (16:14) ****¼
After the match, JBL and Burchill got in the ring and began to beat on Punk, until Michaels got up and made the save running both men out of the ring. He raised Punk’s hand in victory as the show went off the air.

I feel like Batista-Jericho really could have been the main event of a show. Like the idea of Orton badmouthing on Manu. Ok women's stuff. Shelton-Rey seemed like a great match. Punk over HBK is ok, but I think that could be too big of a victory for Punk at this point. All in all it was a good show, it just seemed a little short. The best stuff was the Orton thing. Can't wait for Mania.

- I actually like having a big match start off the show. Good to have Batista pick up the clean win. - Hopefully you do kick Manu out of Legacy. Good squash by Rhodes. - Arn Anderson is in the HOF is awesome. - Benjamin winning is fantastic. Sounded like a great contest. I hope Benjamin wins MITB. - Surprised to see Punk winning, and doing so cleanly. I do like it though. - Really good read, as usual.

Originally I wasn't a fan of Batista/Jericho kicking off the show, but now that I think about it, I do like it. I hope you have Legacy rid Manu of the group. I'm not a fan of his at all. Benjamin/Rey is a fantastic match and Benjamin getting the clean win makes me think he will win the MITB. Wow, Punk beat HBK cleanly! I was expecting HBK to get the win. I did like how Punk stopped JBL from interfering.

Raw was nicely written, I like the idea of the big match opening up, gives Raw a solid opening. Obvious squash match for Rhodes defeating Venis. Usual diva tag action. Shelty B. in the MITB is good, let's have our fingers crossed he wins it this time round. Nice Main Event, although I don't like the end results of CM Punk going over HBK, just don't think it's right. But overall great show, could have perhaps done with one more match, but still good. Also, WrestleMania is packing up great, looking forward to reading.

The current card for WM25 looks absolutely stunning, to say the least. I'll be rooting for Kendrick in the MITB match even though it's pretty unlikely that he will win. To be honest, though, I wouldn't be angry if any of those guys won the bout. They're all some of my favorites. I can't say that I would have booked the match any other way. I would have rather seen the WWE and World Tag Team Championships unified, instead of keeping them separate. I'd imagine that Smith and Wilson are going to win the straps. Other than that, Punk/Burchill should be terrific. I'm guessing that Punk will retain, especially since he just beat HBK recently. So far, so good. Thanks for the reply to my PWG diary.

ECW 3/24/09 PreviewExtreme Boxing-Last week on ECW, Elijah Burke challenged the ECW Champion to a boxing match just two weeks before their big match at WrestleMania XXV! With Burke's past history as an amateur boxer, how will the ECW Champion fare in this encounter? -For two straight weeks, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry has beaten young, up and coming Gavin Spears. The only unusual thing about this is that Spears has shown a whole lot of heart and determination and has won over the crowd with his efforts. He has made one final challenge to Henry this week. Can Spears finally pull out the win? Or will Henry prove to be too much once again? -Plus, the World Tag Team Champions, John Morrison and The Miz will be in non-title action against Finlay & Hornswoggle! Can the father/son duo pull out the upset and secure a title shot against the seemingly unbeatable Champions? Find out all this and more by tuning into Sci-Fi at 9 PM! [/color]

Wrestlemania 25 looks amazing tbh. It's great to see the New Hart Foundation going after the tag titles - hoping they win 'em. Shelton/Mysterio was great booking and amazing match Punk going over Micheals? I dis-agree with that 100%. It just doesn't seem likley to ever happen.
Keep up the great work.

March 24th, 2009 Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Attendance: 13,846
ECW opens with the usual video recap of last week’s events which include Matt Hardy defeating Jack Swagger in a very good match, which was followed by Elijah Burke challenging him to a boxing match.
Todd Grisham and Matt Striker welcome us to another extreme edition of ECW. Tonight, Elijah Burke and ECW Champion Matt Hardy will go at it in a boxing match and both announcers hype up Burke’s background as an amateur boxer.
General Manager Theodore Long makes his way out to the ring. He promotes the big boxing match tonight and begins to talk about the draft. He says that he hopes ECW can get some big names in the draft to blend in with the New Superstar Initiative. He is then cut off by theme music of the “All-American American” Jack Swagger. He gets in the ring and says that he really hopes that he gets drafted to Raw or Smackdown, because he can’t stand being a part of any show that Teddy Long is running. Tommy Dreamer makes his way out and says that while this is not the same ECW he loved, he admits that Long has done a great job with it. He says that he prays that he can stay on ECW come draft time and he challenges Swagger to a match later tonight. Long books it as a tag match instead with Dreamer teaming with Evan Bourne and Swagger teaming with DJ Gabriel. Swagger mentions that if he doesn’t get drafted or traded away from ECW, then he promises to take over the brand. The lights in the arena go out and Kevin Thorn is shown on the titantron. He again cuts a promo about taking over ECW and that his “mentor” has been slowly preparing himself & his “minions” for the takeover. The lights come back on leaving Dreamer, Swagger & Long confused and the crowd wondering who the “mentor” and the “minions” are.
Commercial Break.
Non-Title Tag Team Match World Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz vs. Finlay & Hornswoggle
Most of the crowd had no idea why this match was booked as it was a glorified handicap match because Finlay refused to tag in his son. Finlay managed to stay alive and nail Miz with a belly-to-back suplex. He tagged in his son, who hit a funny looking senton splash, and quickly tagged back out. Finlay covered but only got a two. The ending here came when Miz went to attack Hornswoggle, which distracted Finlay until Morrison turned him around and hit the Moonlight Drive.
Winners: World Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz (6:07) **
Commercial Break.
The video package for our next Hall of Fame inductee, Arn Anderson is shown. Then we see the graphic saying that JJ Dilion will be inducting him. Of course, this video is followed by another graphic, this one showing that Donald Trump, who was a part of WrestleMania’s IV, V & 23, will also be at WrestleMania XXV this year.
Singles Match Gavin Spears vs. Mark Henry w/ Tony Atlas
Spears was attempting to do the impossible and pull out a win against Henry. The crowd was firmly behind him, cheering more than ever as he came out with a flurry of offense in this one. He attacked Henry right from the start with a few kicks and he got the big man down with a dropkick to the knee. With Henry on one knee, Spears hit a DDT but only got a two count. Henry took control for a little bit, slowing down the match. He went for the World’s Strongest Slam, but Spears elbowed his way out of it, ducked under a big right hand from Henry, and rolled him up for the surprising three count!
Winner: Gavin Spears (6:52) **
The crowd ate up the moment as Spears celebrated and Henry looked on in disbelief as we cut to commercial.
We are shown Elijah Burke backstage preparing for his boxing match later by hitting the punching bag.
Commercial Break.
Tag Team Match Jack Swagger & DJ Gabriel w/ Alicia Fox vs. Television Champion Evan Bourne & Tommy Dreamer
This turned out to be the show stealer. Gabriel has improved his in ring work but he couldn’t hang with Bourne. Swagger and Gabriel managed to work over Dreamer with a speed/technical mix. Swagger worked over Dreamer’s back. Gabriel hit his signature diving uppercut but Dreamer got his foot on the rope. He managed to escape the double teams and tag in Bourne who cleaned house. Bourne hit both men with a flurry of offense and finished it by hitting Gabriel with the Shooting Star Press.
Winners: Television Champion Evan Bourne & Tommy Dreamer (8:29) **¾
We now see Matt Hardy hitting a punching bag. He doesn’t look as impressive as Burke though.
Commercial Break.
Boxing Match Elijah Burke vs. ECW Champion Matt Hardy
This actually was pretty decent as it only lasted two rounds. During the first round Burke seemed to be toying with Matt as he knew that he was the better boxer. This allowed Matt to get some solid shots in and most would say that he won the first round. In the second round, Burke had the advantage but Matt wouldn’t go down. At the end of the second round, Burke seemed to be frustrated and while both men were in their respective corners, Burke took off his glove and put on brass knuckles. He went to Matt’s corner and delivered a knockout shot to him. He put Matt in the corner and hit the Elijah Express and stood over the champ as we went off the air.

Like the idea of doing something with Thorn, should be solid. Would have been funny if Hornswoggle got pinned lol. Really surprised Spears beat Henry although I don't know anything about Spears. Good tag match there with Bourne winning. Love the idea of the boxing match. Brass knucks idea is great, it's something that'd happen. Really cool/creative way to end the show.

I originally wasn't a fan of having Burke/Hardy in a Boxing Match, but it's something I really could have seen happen, especially with Burke. Gavin Spears getting a win is ing great! I was always a fan of his, and it sucked that he got released. Loved the ending to the show with the brass knucks.

- Really interested with this Kevin Thorn angle. I’ve been a fan of his for sometime. - If Finlay and Hornswoggle where to win I was going to be disgusted. Glad the champs won. - Not quite sure who Spears is, but him picking up the win over Henry is good. Considering I don’t like Henry. - Solid tag team match. Bourne pinning DJ makes sense. - Boxing match was by far the best segment. Burke pulling out the brass knuckles was classic. I hope Burke wins the strap at Mania. - Good show.

A Matt Hardy vs. Elijah Burke Boxing match will be great. Burke will win, of course. He has a big knock-streak. I hope he wins and knocks the living crap out of Hardy. Ahh, I forgot about the Draft. Hopefully MVP goes to ECW and wins the ECW title. MnM winning is pretty predictable and I am glad they won. I honestly can't stand Finlay and Hornswoggle. Fire them and get pretty big names on ECW. Arn Anderson being inducted is awesome. Being inducted by J.J. Dillion is even better. Gavin Spears > Henry? What! Henry > Spears. Evan Bourne and Tommy Dreamer winning is awesome. I really like how you are using Bourne. You should bring Christian in the ECW. The ending of ECW was awesome. It seemed really realistic. Burke pulling out Brass Knuckles and knocking Hardy out and delivering the Elijah Express is awesome. I enjoyed the ECW show.

Smackdown 3/27/09 Preview-Last week on Smackdown, Triple H and The Undertaker did battle with Kane and Umaga. The match ended in a DQ but the war between these four is far from over. Tonight, The Undertaker steps into the ring with Ezekiel Jackson. Will Kane be watching this match? Will he show up during it? Will he attack his brother again? -Also last week, Edge hosted "The Cutting Edge" with WWE Champion Jeff Hardy as his guest. Jeff didn't say a word the entire time as Edge mocked him, which led to Jeff and Edge getting into it physically. Jeff will not be at Smackdown this Friday, but Edge promises to host another edition of "The Cutting Edge". Who will his guest be? Will it get physical again? -Plus, with the Money in the Bank ladder match quickly approaching, we will witness another Money in the Bank preview match. This week, we'll see the four Smackdown members of the match in two singles matches. The Brian Kendrick will take on Hurricane Helms, while "The Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin goes one on one with MVP! Tune into My Network Television for all this and more at 8 PM!

March 27th, 2009 New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana Attendance: 16,741
We kick things off with a video package showcasing last week’s main event of Triple H & The Undertaker taking o Kane & Umaga. After those highlights we go to the video of Edge and Jeff Hardy on the Cutting Edge and how that turned out.
Jim Ross and Tazz greet us to Smackdown this week from New Orleans. They hype up tonight’s matches which include The Undertaker taking on the big man, Ezekiel Jackson and two Money in the Bank preview matches. They then promote another edition of the Cutting Edge tonight.
The announcers are cut off by Kane’s fireworks as he and Paul Bearer make their way to the ring. Bearer cuts an eerie promo about what Kane’s going to do to his brother at WrestleMania. Kane gets on the mic and says that it felt like he didn’t have a purpose until he went back to his roots and found Bearer. Now he knows that his purpose is to take out his brother once and for all and then to continue to dominate the WWE and win a World Title. Out comes Shane McMahon who says that as long as he’s running Smackdown, Kane will not be hurting his superstars like he’s done in the recent past. Out comes Vickie who announces that she’s booked tonight’s main event as Kane going one on one with a man who has been a thorn in her side, Triple H. She tells Kane that she wants him to hurt Triple H. Shane and Vickie argue to the back about this.
Commercial Break.
Money in the Bank Preview Match The Brian Kendrick w/ Ezekiel Jackson vs. United States Champion Hurricane Helms
This was a very good back and forth match with neither man being able to get too big of an advantage. Helms had the advantage early on, but after being tripped up by Ezekiel Jackson, Kendrick took over. He hit a double stomp off the top and a neckbreaker, but only got a two count. He went to the top and missed his turning frog splash. As he was getting up, Helms nailed him with the Shining Wizard, but Ezekiel distracted the referee. Helms knocked Jackson off the apron, but turned around into The Kendrick for the win.
Winner: The Brian Kendrick (6:15) **¾
We cut to the back to see Vickie Guerrero and Shane McMahon arguing about the match Vickie made earlier. Shane doesn’t like that she’s just trying to have Triple H injured heading into WrestleMania. She says that he only cares because that’s his brother in law and he can’t have his family interfere with his work. He tells her that she does the same thing with Edge and at that point Edge walks in. He says that tonight on “The Cutting Edge” his special guest will be Shane McMahon, because he has a few questions about our co-GM’s motives on Smackdown. Shane agrees to go on the show.
Commercial Break.
Tag Team Match Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder vs. R-Truth & Kung Fu Naki
Naki and Truth have had a friendship ever since Truth gave him the nickname Kung Fu Naki, and they did a decent job as a team tonight. The problem was though, that Hawkins and Ryder are an established team and former WWE Tag Team Champions. They used a good strategy and worked over the smaller, Fu Naki. He managed to make the tag to Truth, but despite him coming in hot, he was slowed by a low blow from Ryder. That was followed up by a double team Edgecution.
Winners: Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder (5:37) *¾
After the match, Carlito ran down to the ring with a chair, which made Hawkins and Ryder run out of the ring. Harry Smith and TJ Wilson ran down behind Carlito and blindsided him to take him out. Smith hit him with a running power slam, while Wilson dared Hawkins and Ryder to get in the ring, which they didn’t.
Commercial Break.
The video showing that Arn Anderson will be out next inductee to the Hall of Fame is put up, followed by the graphic saying that JJ Dilion will induct him. Those are followed by the announcement of Donald Trump being a time keeper at ‘Mania.
Singles Match Ezekiel Jackson w/ The Brian Kendrick vs. The Undertaker
Ezekiel was not afraid at all of “The Phenom”. Much like ‘Taker’s match with Festus last year, he brought out the best of a young big man. Ezekiel looked good in the ring and went shot for shot, until ‘Taker nailed him with some soup bones in the corner. ‘Taker followed that up with Old School but only got a two count. Ezekiel got in some offense and attempted his Uranagi slam, but ‘Taker elbowed out of it and caught him with a Chokeslam, which was followed by a Tombstone to end it.
Winner: The Undertaker (6:11) **½
Backstage, Shane and Vickie still seem to be arguing about the match she made earlier tonight. Vickie pisses him off even more when she announces that their match will now be held under No Disqualification rules. Shane retaliates by saying that next week on Smackdown, Edge will face a mystery opponent in a No DQ match as well.
Commercial Break.
MVP and Eve are shown talking backstage when Shelton Benjamin comes up to them. Shelton gets right in MVP’s face and guarantees to win tonight, and win again at WrestleMania. MVP says that tonight and again at WrestleMania, he will prove that he is “better than you”. Shelton smirks and walks off.
Singles Match Kane w/ Paul Bearer vs. Triple H
This turned out to be a fantastic match, which went on between the first and second hours of Smackdown. Triple H made sure to hit Kane with almost everything he had early on, as he knew he had to get Kane down quickly. It worked but Kane kept getting back up, and then he took over the match. He went to the top and hit his diving clothesline, then followed that up with a huge sidewalk slam, yet only got a two count. Umaga came down and got in the ring and hit Triple H with a Samoan Spike. Umaga and Kane stared each other down, before Umaga left. Kane picked up Triple H and dropped him with a Tombstone.
Winner: Kane (9:16) ***¼
Commercial Break.
Non-Title Match Gail Kim vs. Divas Champion Natalya
Kim and Natalya are two of the best women’s wrestlers in the world, and they showed it tonight. These two came at each other with everything they’ve got. After a few minutes of back and forth action, Natalya slowed down the match with a rear naked choke, but Kim got to the ropes. She went for her sitout powerbomb, but Kim reversed it into a hurricanrana for only a two. The finish came when Natalya ducked a clothesline from Kim, got behind her and nailed three German suplexes to end it.
Winner: Divas Champion Natalya (6:06) ***
We now see ad for the annual WWE Draft, which will occur on April 27th, 2009 during a special three hour edition of Raw.
Commercial Break.
We return to see Mr. Kennedy being interviewed backstage. He reminds everybody of his plan to take the Money in the Bank briefcase from whoever wins it at WrestleMania. He says that he will do anything to once again be called “Mr. Money in the Bank….Bank”.
Money in the Bank Preview Match Montel Vontavious Porter w/ Eve Torres vs. Shelton Benjamin
Surprisingly, this went on last, and for good reason as it turned out. These two put on the best match of any Money in the Bank preview match so far. Benjamin his trademark cobra clutch back breaker and his Dragon Whip kick, but MVP kicked out of both. MVP shot back with his bit boot in the corner and a snap belly-to-belly. He then hit his “Ballin” elbow drop but only got a two count. After a little bit more action, Shelton went for the T-Bone suplex, but MVP elbowed his way out of it, went behind Shelton and hit a German suplex for a two. He didn’t let up though, because as Shelton was on his way up, MVP drilled him with the Drive By.
Winner: Montel Vontavious Porter (10:07) ****
We now see Edge walking to the arena as “The Cutting Edge” is next!
Commercial Break.
The ring is set up for “The Cutting Edge” and Edge makes his way to the ring. He cuts a short promo before bringing out Co-General Manager, Shane McMahon. Edge shoots questions off right from the start. He first asks why Shane felt the need to help Vickie out on Smackdown. Shane said he did it because he was tired of Edge, Chavo, Big Show, and Hawkins & Ryder getting away with everything because of her. Edge asks about his match next week and the fact that he has to face someone who he’s not ready for, just one week before his WWE Title match at WrestleMania. Shane says that Vickie forced his hand and he picked out the perfect opponent for him. Edge is furious at this news and he screams for Shane to tell him who his opponent is, but Shane won’t budge. Edge gets so mad that he nails Shane with the microphone, and then stomps on the GM. He sets up in the corner for the Spear, but officials come out and check on Shane before he can do anything. Vickie is seen at the top of the ramp clapping for her man.

- I like the evil Kane with Paul Bearer. Kane/HHH should be good. - Kendrick/Helms is a solid match. Hopefully the win by Kendrick leads to a angle with Helms, perhaps. - The Edgeheads winning is alright. Not a big fan of Truth or Fu Naki, so it works. - Glad to see Jackson wasn’t intimated by Taker and put on a good showing. Good way to build perhaps a new star in the future. - Shocked to see Kane/HHH so early but I’m fine with it, really. Kane winning is awesome and Umaga getting involved makes sense considering the match he has with HHH at Mania. - Awesome match with MVP and Benjamin to finish the show, in ring wise. - Very good ending to the show, I’m thinking it will be Shane/Edge next week. Which should be good. - Really, really good show.
