-Very intense opening promo.
-Hart Dynasty losing to Regal and Barrett will put them in contention.
-McCool winning the #1 contender match makes sense.
-Very happy to se John Cena win the qualifier. Please let Cena win the WWE Title at Fatal 4 Way.
-McIntyre beating Kane is okay. Wish Kane won but it's cool still.
-HHH beating Show is the right call.
-Good RAW

-Good opening promo, it's interesting that you're doing the Bret/Vince stuff now instead of around 'Mania time
-Like the Regal/Barrett pairing, it makes sense and would work. Vince screwing the Dynasty was good as well
-McCool/Kim would be a good Divas match. Not sure on McCool winning since McCool/Mancini is heel/heel if I'm correct
-Cena beating Miz back to back nights is something I'm not too high on, but Cena being involved in the Fatal Four Way match makes sense
-I love the feud between the Dibiases and Rhodes/Hennig. Great potential there
-Matt beating down on R-Truth is great for his character
-Surprised but glad to see McIntyre make it into the match at Fatal Four Way
-Morrison's promo was okay, not a fan of him as World Champion to be honest
-Triple H wins in a realistic, good main event and the post match brawl sets up the PPV
Very solid edition of Raw, the Fatal Four Way World Title match is a nice mix of styles

Raw, I look forward to where you go with the McMahon/Hart feud. SHocked to see Regal and Barrett go over here, but it works with the McMahon interference. Was hoping for Gail Kim to take the win here, but Michelle McCool is good I guess. Very happy that John Cena qualifies for Fatal Four Way over The MIz, definitely the right choice. Interesting segment with the former Legacy. It seems everyone is going with the Matt Hardy heel turn nowadays. Surprised to see Intercontinental Champion, Drew McIntyre win here, I was expecting Kane, unsure on this. Good segment from John Morrison. Triple H going over was pretty obvious here, he wasn't going to lose really. A good way to close Raw with the four participants. The Raw match looks good, interested to see what you have for SmackDown.

WWE RAW: Monday 24th May 2010...Intense promo that was a necessity to Bret Hart returning to the WWE; this promo between Bret and Vince McMahon. I wonder what happens when Shawn Michaels returns, maybe we'll see another of these promos. The Hart Dynasty being punished as WWE Unified Tag Team Champions for this, that could be pretty interesting. You forgot to hyper link up the Hart Dynasty in the header. A decent opening contest to start off, and I'm not surprised by William Regal and Wade Barrett beating the WWE Unified Tag Team Champions but really, Barrett in his tag team debut on RAW should have won cleanly. And that is a dead on fact. Michelle McCool beating Gail Kim was fine, liking Team LayCool on the way to getting the WWE Divas Championship, hopefully she accomplishes this. I could see a feud going on between Layla and McCool with Gail and maybe Serena Mancini. I am liking McCool's chances, though. Pretty hot first-hour main event, but wow, John Cena advancing into Fatal 4-Way at uh, Fatal 4-Way sounds good. The Miz doesn't really need the qualification though to be honest, as Miz is already the Money in the Bank briefcase possessor. Cody Rhodes and Joe Hennig's promo was pretty sweet, but wow, evened up again with Ted Dibiase with Brett Dibiase. The feud continues, interesting. R-Truth beating Matt Hardy is fine, not a bad match I suppose as Hardy showed pure brutality. Next, surprised that Drew McIntyre got into Fatal 4-Way. Kane isn't that purposeful anymore anyways, though so it's fine. John Morrison's promo was pretty good, fine mentioning about his Fatal 4 Way adversaries, McIntyre, Triple H and Cena. And lastly, Triple H beating Big Show is fine, but Cena and Miz should have main evented if you ask me. A decent four-man brawl to finish off, not a bad fallout edition of RAW.

Meanwhile, Tommy Dreamer and Paul Heyman will both be a part of ECW this week. Both of them will be speaking, as Dreamer will be speaking about his recent victory at Over the Limit. Heyman will be speaking about what his future plans for ECW will be as the upcoming weeks go ahead.[/font] |

l May 25, 2010 l Quicken Loans Arena: Cleveland, OH l
The opening pyros go off before ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer makes his way down to the ring. He gets a decent pop and he gets on the mic. He says that this Sunday at Over the Limit he managed to retain the ECW Championship against Rob Van Dam - and sure, it could of been more brutal, but he knows and RVD knows, that they are still friends and always will be. He says that although Rob has been tainted by the desire to take the ECW Title from him, he knows exactly what that is like. Dreamer goes on saying that he was going to leave the WWE last year if he couldn't win the ECW Title again, but he got another shot to hold the gold at Extreme Rules and took it. He says that back in the days of the old ECW he has one run that lasted very short, but he doesn't care because he is the heart and soul of ECW, and so is Rob, he just refuses to show it now. The crowd breaks into an "E-C-W" chant. He says that tonight, 3 challengers are determined to see who faces him on June 20 at Fatal Four Way - and RVD could be one of them. He says that regardless, he plans on staying the ECW Champion for a long time.
Commercial Break
Fatal Four Way Qualifying Match
Rob Van Dam vs Evan Bourne w/Billy Kidman
The bell rings and RVD takes the early control with some hard shots and does some dirty tactics to get over his heel alignment. Bourne fights back with some fast and high action to take RVD down multiple times. After a few minutes of back and forth solid action, Bourne takes RVD down with the top rope knees to the chest and sets for the Shooting Star Press, but RVD avoids it and quickly hops up and hits the 5 Star Frog Splash and gets the pin.
Winner of the match: Rob Van Dam [8:51] **1/2
Following the match, RVD taunts to the crowd. He exits as Kidman gets back in the ring and checks on Bourne. He helps him up, but gets aggravated with him and slaps him across the face. He tells him he needs to get his act together, and Bourne shoves him down to the mat and walks out of the ring.
Commercial Break
Fatal Four Way Qualifying Match
Chavo Guerrero w/Vickie Guerrero vs Ezekiel Jackson
The bell rings, Jackson seeming as if he is going to dominate yet again. He clotheslines Chavo down multiple times, and takes him down multiple times over the course of a couple minutes. They go back and forth a bit, but Chavo is easily overpowered. As Jackson sets up for the Book of Ezekiel, Mark Henry comes down the ramp and towards the ring. He gets on the apron and Jackson walks to him, so Chavo rolls him up and gets the 3.
Winner of the match: Chavo Guerrero [6:01] **
After the match, Chavo quickly hops out of the ring in celebration. However, Mark Henry just gets into the ring and begins to beat down on Jackson. He keeps him down easily with hard shots, and Jackson tries to fight back. As he tries to lift for the Book of Ezekiel, Henry elbows him in the head and pushes him off quickly. As Jackson comes back, he forces him up and hits the World's Strongest Slam. He rises back up with a grin of satisfaction.
We cut backstage to see Savannah and she introduces her guest at this time to be Sir Charles Haas. She asks him what his plans are since he is not involved in the Fatal Four Way Qualifiers tonight. He says he originally planned to get some revenge on Shelton tonight by costing him his match, but he decided against it - saying it wouldn't be a good idea. He claims he will be considering some things for the future.
Commercial Break
We return and Paul Heyman makes his way down to the ring to a good pop. He gets on the mic and says that he has had about a month to think now that he has become the ECW General Manager once again. He says that he was thinking about when it should all come to an end - and quite honestly, he thinks the time will be coming. The crowd begin to boo but he halts them by saying it will end the day that he dies because he is in control of ECW and always will be until he finally croaks! The crowd cheer and break into another "E-C-W" chant. Heyman says that he has had time to think about what to say here tonight and he just wants to thank each and every one of the fans from the original days of ECW and even today here in the WWE. He begins to exit the ring, but stops himself and gets back in. He says that although ECW won't go down without him tagging along, he thinks ECW needs to be putting up a fight seeing as how Vince McMahon was going to shut it down a couple months ago along with Abraham Washington. He states that starting next week, he will be selecting an ECW star from the roster to be in an opening challenge match against any Raw or Smackdown superstar. He thanks everybody once again and exits with a grin.
Commercial Break
Fatal Four Way Qualifying Match
Dolph Ziggler vs Shelton Benjamin
The bell rings with Ziggler taking some cheap shots to start and getting the upper hand in the opening few minutes. He hits some early signature moves but Benjamin fights back with some sharp kicks and some hard suplexes and other variations of kicks. He his the Paydirt, but can't put the match away. Ziggler eventually hits the Zig Zag, but also can't put it away. After some back and forth action, Benjamin hits a Paydirt out of nowhere and gets the 3 count.
Winner of the match: Shelton Benjamin [10:11] ***
Following the match, Benjamin taunts to the crowd in celebration. However, Rob Van Dam appears on the top rope out of nowhere and he jumps off, kicking RVD in the jaw. ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer then rushes down to aid Benjamin and he starts to strike back and forth with RVD. Chavo Guerrero then comes down and strikes the ECW Champion from behind, but Benjamin superkicks him. RVD comes right at Benjamin again and soon a complete brawl breaks out between the four, much like Raw the night before, and referees come down to break it up to end ECW. [/font] |

ECW, glad that ECW gets its own Fatal Four Way match at the Pay Per View. Obvious victory for Rob Van Dam if you ask me, he was bound to get another shot. A heel turn for Kidman? Very surprised to see Chavo Guerrero qualify for the ECW Title match, but it makes some sense with the Mark Henry interference. Interesting segment from Paul Heyman, good concept. Glad that Shelton Benjamin takes the final spot in the ECW Championship match. Great way to close ECW with the four competitors for the ECW Title. Good show.

ECW on SyFy: Tuesday 25th May 2010...Decent promo from Tommy Dreamer, the ECW Champion setting up for the Fatal 4 Way match for the belt at uh, Fatal 4 Way. Rob Van Dam and Evan Bourne would have an amazing contest, shame Evan won't be able to qualify now, he would have been great in there. Wow, actually it would be a good idea if you were to have a Scramble match for the ECW Championship at Fatal 4 Way. RVD winning this was so likely. Chavo Guerrero beating Ezekiel Jackson? I am not a fan of how fast Chavo is uprising. Zeke could have used this win so much more, to be honest. Paul Heyman's promo was very sweet, and sets up for Vince McMahon's seemingly continued animosity against ECW. Lastly, Shelton Benjamin beating Dolph Ziggler is fine I suppose, wish Ziggler would keep into the ECW Championship picture; he is still so deserving to be honest. But decent show I suppose, it did what it was meant to do, not sure about some things, though.

 Smackdown: May 28, 2010 Preview
As Smackdown rolls its way into Cleveland, Fatal Four Way Qualifying shall reign upon the show. CM Punk will take on Rey Mysterio, rehashing a short feud for Punk's World Title in February, along with Edge taking on Kofi Kinston, and Christian facing Jack Swagger. Meanwhile, WWE Champion Randy Orton will be around to speak about his retaining of the championship at Over the Limit along with a message to his Fatal Four Way contenders.
Also, Montel Vontavious Porter came to Smackdown via the 2010 Draft, and made his first message by confronting Batista, as The Animal was on crutches. However, now medically cleared to compete, Batista sets out to take on MVP on Friday - something both men have been waiting for for over a month.
Also, Bryan Danielson and Zack Ryder will be facing each other one-on-one, and Kelly Kelly has promised to be at ringside to watch the action. And Sheamus has promised he will be on Smackdown, and Beth Phoenix defends her title against Maryse in what will be Maryse's final shot at the gold.[/font] |

l May 28, 2010 l Quicken Loans Arena: Cleveland, OH l
The pyros go off around the arena as we are welcomed to Smackdown. Out comes Randy Orton and he gets on the mic. He states that this past Sunday, retaining the WWE Championship against CM Punk was not only his priority, but it was his destiny. He claims that he has never wanted to shut somebody up so bad. He says that he hopes and prays that CM Punk makes it into the Fatal Four Way Match tonight because he wants his opportunity at the Fatal Four Way Pay-Per-View to kick his head off his shoulders. The crowd pops, and Orton continues on speaking of how he is the youngest world champion in WWE history and how he couldn't of done it without the fans, but if the fans want to see him keep this WWE Championship he needs them to have his back 100% at Fatal Four Way. He says he only has a 25% chance of winning, but because he knows how with one simple kick to the skull or one RKO straight into the mat, the WWE Championship could be leaving with who it came with. The crowd cheer, and as Orton is about to exit the ring, Abraham Washington comes out to the ramp. The crowd boo him as he gets on the mic, and he tells them all to be quiet. He speaks to Randy, telling him that he has no doubt in his mind that Randy may be walking in as WWE Champion at Fatal Four Way, and walking out as WWE Champion at Fatal Four Way, but he also has no doubt in his mind that Randy Orton will be in action next week against the winner of Edge vs Kofi Kingston! The crowd cheer for the idea of either match happening, as Orton looks on nodding with satisfaction in agreement with the crowd.
Commercial Break
Fatal Four Way Qualifying Match
Christian vs United States Champion Jack Swagger
The bell rings, Swagger still pumped about beating 5 others at Over the Limit. He dominates early on with his amateur wrestling skills on the mat, but Christian fights back after a few minutes of being kept down by taking things up and hitting lots of rough shots. He tries to connect with the Killswitch, but Swagger pushes him off and takes control again with some hard suplexes. However, after too much taunting and taking up too much time, Christian slides off his shoulder and hits the Killswitch, getting the 3 count and the victory.
Winner of the match: Christian [9:24] ***
Christian celebrates to the crowd his victory as Edge comes onto the scene of the titantron. He looks down at Christian telling him congratulations, he actually managed to be on the other side of the decision in a match - unlike this past Sunday. He blames him for the loss, and Christian just laughs it off, taking a microphone for himself. He tells Edge that he could of broken up the pin and he knows it. Edge says he knows that he could but he didn't feel like it, because he thought somebody like Christian himself, mimicking a holy type of person, could take on anyone. Christian tells Edge to stop confusing himself and him around and to get himself down here if he wants to argue some more. Edge just shakes his head and tells him that he isn't looking to fight with him, he's just making a valid argument. He says he has a match later on anyway, if he wants to meet up with him, they can do it then. He walks off the set.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Bryan Danielson w/Kelly Kelly vs Zack Ryder
The bell sounds and both men lock up quickly. They go back and forth to start, Danielson taking things to the mat after a little while and applying multiple submission holds trying to end things early. Ryder fights back though on his feet and starts to get distracted with Kelly Kelly. After a few minutes, he invites her up onto the apron and puts his face out for a kiss on the cheek. Danielson takes advantage and applies the Cattle Mutilation and gets Ryder to submit.
Winner of the match: Bryan Danielson [7:06] **
Danielson exits the ring in celebration as Kelly Kelly looks on at Ryder in disgust. He looks up at her, pleading to help him, as he gets onto his knees. She just ignores him and walks up the ramp as Danielson taunts to the crowd with a huge smile across his face.
We cut backstage to see Abraham Washington just hanging up his phone. In comes Chris Jericho to a lot of heat and he demands to know why he isn't a part of Fatal Four Way Qualifying tonight. Washington says that he just didn't feel it necessary, and Jericho gets angry over it. He says he is the best in the world at what he does and he deserves to be the world champion. He says if he can't make a statement by getting into the WWE Championship match, he'll make a statement another way. He thinks for a moment and says he knows just what he'll do.
Commercial Break
Fatal Four Way Qualifying Match
Kofi Kingston vs Edge
The bell rings as both men lock up to start. Kingston unloads with strikes right off and takes Edge down to the mat multiple times. They fire off back and forth, trading momentum for a few minutes before Edge hits the Edgecution and gets a near fall. Kingston takes him down a few more times, delivering the Boom Drop, and the Trouble in Paradise. However, Edge falls into the referee after it and Chris Jericho rushes down to the ring. He ducks a shot from Kofi and hits the Codebreaker, slipping out of the ring quick. The referee begins to stir as Edge flops his arm over Kingston and he counts the 3.
Winner of the match: Edge [11:39] ***1/2
Following the match, Jericho gets back in the ring, grinning at Edge as he walks over to Kingston and drags him up to his feet by his hair. However, Christian comes running down to the ring and Jericho quickly hops out of the ring. Christian begins to help Kingston back up, but as he does, Edge spears him out of nowhere. He hops to his feet and says "end of conversation" as he steps out of the ring, Jericho looking at him unsure.
Commercial Break
We return as Sheamus makes his way down to the ring. He gets on the mic and says he came from uproaring over ECW to Raw, and now as a part of the 2010 Draft here on Smackdown. He says that he may not have won the United States Championship at Over the Limit, but to be honest, he doesn't even really care because he is worthy of much more then that. He claims that he will take on anybody who dare get in his way of accomplishing anything he wants and states he will be the WWE Champion by the end of the year. He prepares to make an early exit, but ECW's Evan Bourne makes his way down to the ring. He gets on the mic, as Sheamus looks down at him unimpressed, and they stare a bit. Bourne tells Sheamus this past Tuesday on ECW, General Manager Paul Heyman made an announcement that he would be offering opening challenges to anybody from the Raw or Smackdown brand to take on any star from ECW of his choosing. He informs Sheamus that he is going to be the first one who he has chosen to be in a match against a Raw or Smackdown 'outsider'. Sheamus asks what the hell he thinks he is doing coming out here in the first place, and Bourne says he is getting to that. He says he is here to offer Sheamus the challenge to be the one who faces him on ECW. Sheamus laughs at it, and says that like many others - he'll be more then happy to destroy yet another unworthy competitor. Bourne begins to walk off, but Sheamus runs to him and hits the Bicycle Kick.
We cut to a video package that highlights Over the Limit from Sunday.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Montel Vontavious Porter vs Batista
The bell rings and both men stare each other down having lots of tension that's built up since MVP was drafted. They go back and forth to start, Batista overpowering but MVP using some of his agility. Their mismatching of styles causes them to go back and forth getting one up on each other easily. MVP goes for a boot in the corner but Batista just tosses him over onto the steel post. MVP falls to the floor and Batista steps out after him, taking a steel chair, and he cracks MVP in the back with it, the referee calling for the DQ.
Winner via disqualification: Montel Vontavious Porter [8:51] **1/2
Following the match, Batista hits MVP over the back a few more times before tossing the chair in the ring. He drags MVP back in roughly and sits the chair up. He drags MVP to his feet and spinebusters him onto the chair. Referees come running down to stop him, but he ignores them and drags MVP right back up and delivers another spinebuster. As he gets up with assistance, he spears him before exiting the ring.
Commercial Break
Last Chance Match for the Women's Championship
Beth Phoenix© vs Maryse
The bell sounds, Maryse taking control early on. They go back and forth, but Maryse obviously wants the title badly. She gets a few near falls but can't put the champ away. Beth brutally beats her down with aggression and also gets some near falls. She uses her strength to keep momentum throughout. Maryse fails to his the French Kiss DDT and is dropped with the Glam Slam and Beth pins her for the 3 count and win.
Winner and still Women's Champion: Beth Phoenix [6:52] **1/2
Beth celebrates her retaining of the title, but out of nowhere from behind, Melina clotheslines her into the corner. She begins to kick at her ferociously and beat her down in the corner screaming with rage. Beth is confused as to what she is doing here, but doesn't care, and they begin to go back and forth with strikes. However, Melina takes the Women's Title from Beth and hits her in the face with it and raises it with a crazed look.
We cut backstage to see Rey Mysterio in his locker room and in steps Randy Orton. He tells Rey he wanted to wish him luck tonight, and regardless of what he said earlier - he would be more then happy to have his title defended against somebody like Rey. Rey says he appreciates it, and he knows how badly he wants to get his hands on CM Punk again, but only one of them can make it to Fatal Four Way. He walks off.
Commercial Break
Fatal Four Way Qualifying Match
Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk w/Joey Mercury and Matt Cross
The bell rings as Punk and Mysterio go back and forth. Mysterio gets the upper hand in the opening minutes with his speed and both men fall to the outside quickly. They both break the count each at 8 different times, and Punk dominates on the outside. Things get brutal out there, using the barricade, apron, steel post, and announce table. Once back in the ring, they go back and forth a lot, with Punk almost hitting the GTS, but Mysterio drops down and hurricanranas him over the top rope with a loud thud to the Straight Edge Society's shock.
Commercial Break
We return with Mysterio hitting the 10 punches on the top rope, but on the 10th one, Punk drops him onto the top turnbuckle face first. They go back and forth some more, and Mysterio even manages to hit the 619. However, as he goes to "Drop the Dime", Joey Mercury grabs hold of his leg and hangs him up. The referee gets distracted with him, so Punk low blows Mysterio with a kick and rakes the eyes, hits the GTS and gets the pinfall.
Winner of the match: CM Punk [13:31] ***
Punk celebrates his victory post match with the Straight Edge Society as Randy Orton steps out to the ramp with his WWE Championship clutched to his shoulder. Him and Punk stare each other down a bit as Punk motions for the WWE Title. Orton raises it up as Smackdown fades to a close. [/font] |

I liked Orton’s promo to kick off the show. Orton versus Edge or Kofi will be good for next week. Christian qualifying over Swagger is fine because Swagger doesn’t need to be in the main event. I like the tensions growing between Edge and Christian. I am happy Ryder didn’t job out to Danielson because I think Ryder has potential to be a big star. I like Edge winning and the aftermath of that match was good. Interesting altercation with Bourne and Sheamus. MVP winning by DQ was smart as it keeps both men strong. Very pleased to see C.M Punk qualify as I hate Rey in the main event.

-Orton's opening promo was good, nothing really special.
-Christian over Swagger makes sense because Swagger is already US Champ, no need to have him main event.
- At least Ryder didn't get squashed.
-Edge winning is the right choice, and having him and Christian both in the match at Fatal 4 Way is just fantastic.
-Sheamus and Bourne is interesting, I just don't want to see Bourne jobbing to him.
-Batista getting dq'd is good, building up this feud.
-Melina getting into the Women's title picture is good.
-Punk picks up the obvious win here, Mysterio doesn't need to be main eventing.
-Good Smackdown

SmackDown, good opening segment, and I see CM Punk walking out with the title on this occasion, that is if he qualifies. Glad that Christian qualified here, he needs this match really. Interesting situation between Edge and Christian. Glad that Bryan Danielson got the victory here, hope he gets a push. I think this victory for Edge was obvious, especially with his stuff with Christian. Evan Bourne getting time in Sheamus' segment is great. I see Sheamus winning though. A DQ ending to MVP and Batista is good, allows Batista to put over his heel persona. I'm glad that Beth retained the Women's Championship, she deserves the reign. Glad to see CM Punk qualify for Fatal 4 Way, I hope he wins at the Pay Per View. A good show overall.

-Thx for the reply. Glad you think i'm getting better.
-Fine opening promo
-Good to see Christian go to F4W, Swagger should defend his title at the event.

-Sheamus v.s EB? Alright
-Batista vs. MVP feud? Guess so. Good booking
-Finally, great to see Punk win.
-Good job

 Raw: May 31, 2010 Preview
The last show of May for 2010 rolls in for Raw. Well the Fatal Four Way Qualifying is over, things haven't even heated up yet. Triple H and John Morrison will be going at it in non-title action in a rematch from Over the Limit. Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre will be defending his Intercontinental Championship against Big Show.
Also, Brett DiBiase and Joe Hennig have been told they will be involved in action on Raw for this week and the next. Brett will be facing Cody Rhodes this week well Joe faces Ted DiBiase next week. Speaking of multi-generation stars, with Bret Hart back and Vince McMahon still having some anger over the past 13 years - Vince screwed The Hart Dynasty last week. Tonight - McMahon has set up William Regal vs Tyson Kidd.
With Matt Hardy's recent paranoid actions, he has attacked R-Truth week in and week out. After beating Truth down with a steel chair to the point he couldn't stand, Truth will not be able to compete on Raw. Hardy, however, will be taking on Goldust. Also, The Miz will be speaking along with Serena facing Layla in non-title action.[/font] |

-Disliked Orton talking about the fans being behind him, I think he's the type of face who doesn't care if the fans cheer or boo him
-Christian advancing to the Fatal Four Way is great, I wanna see him in the SD main event picture. An Edge/Christian feud has always been goodness
-Danielson over Ryder is great, not sure why he has a valet though
-Edge/Kofi was a great match, glad Edge advanced. I see Punk advancing as well
-The Sheamus segment was well done
-Batista destroying MVP was a good idea, really gets Batista more heat
-Beth retaining is great. Melina heel turn?
-Punky qualifying is excellent and the Smackdown Fatal Four Way looks fantastic
Very good show, looking forward to Fatal Four Way

WWE SmackDown: Friday 28th May 2010...Decent promo to start things off on this edition of SmackDown, with Randy Orton in the ring plotting revenge on CM Punk and the Straight Edge Society for Fatal 4-Way. Abraham Washington interrupting is amusing and I'm looking forward to the qualifying matches for this edition, just like on RAW and ECW on SyFy. Christian beating Jack Swagger is fine; great win for Christian but wow, this could set up for Swagger to begin feuding with the WWE United States Champion. But not, as Edge's promo was nice; and it's obvious Edge, Christian, Orton and Punk will be definites for the SmackDown WWE Championship fatal four-way match. Bryan Danielson beating Zack Ryder is fine; Ryder has seemingly lost his way in recent weeks. Decent first-hour main event with Edge and Kofi Kingston; very competitive it would be, and Edge beating Kofi was expected. These qualifying matches aren't so unpredictable to be honest. Sheamus's promo was good; interested in Evan Bourne's interruption and maybe Bourne could start feuding with Sheamus. It would be something for Evan to do, win or loss against Sheamus. But hasn't he been feuding on-and-off with Sheamus since the beginning of 2010? MVP beating Batista was unepected; but loved Batista's ruthlessness. Beth Phoenix beating Maryse was good; best idea for it to be a Last Chance opportunity for Maryse, but preferably Maryse would have won the WWE Womens Championship here; but nevermind. Lastly, great main event with Rey Mysterio and CM Punk, but definitely couldn't see Punk losing in this match. A solid show overall, very good yet some parts were predictable.

l May 31, 2010 l Frank Erwin Center: Austin, TX l
Before the opening video, we are shown a Memorial Day package.
The opening pyros go off and we are welcomed to Raw as the Texas crowd is scanned by the cameras. John Cena makes his way down to the ring to a pop. He gets on the mic and says that he has been doing a lot of thinking lately, and that thinking has lead to more thinking and overall it isn't doing a damn thing for him. He says that this year he has lost the WWE Championship, lost to The Undertaker at WrestleMania, and even went so low to lose to The Miz. He does say, however, he has gained some respect back for himself as he beat The Miz at Over the Limit and last Monday and is now going to Fatal Four Way for an opportunity for the World Heavyweight Title. The crowd pops some more and he says that he will not be competing here tonight to some boos. He says that however, he is out here to deliver a message to the three other men he will be facing at Fatal Four Way. He says he will not quit, he will not back down, and he will not stop until he takes the World Heavyweight Championship! The crowd pops, but out of nowhere from behind Drew McIntyre clotheslines Cena to the mat. He starts to beat him down hard and then as Cena rises, he clocks him over the head with the Intercontinental Championship. He pulls the microphone up and tells Cena that at Fatal Four Way - he doesn't stand a chance because he will be walking out the first ever Scottish World Champion. He throws the mic down as Cena rolls around in pain, and McIntyre walks up the ramp with a grin.
Commercial Break
We return and Justin Roberts is standing in the middle of the ring. He announces the special guest timekeeper for this match - Vince McMahon. He struts down to ringside as the crowd boos and he just ignores it, a huge grin across his face for this.
Singles Match
Tyson Kidd w/David Hart Smith, Natalya, and Bret Hart vs William Regal w/Wade Barrett
The bell rings as Smith, Natalya, and Hart all glare at McMahon on the outside well Regal and Kidd go back and forth. A few minutes of mix matched action goes by before Kidd takes some control with some hard shots to knock the veteran down. They go back and forth some more over the next couple minutes, and Regal eventually sends Kidd to the mat and locks in the Regal Stretch. McMahon grins, but Smith realizes what is going on here, and he runs over to the chairman causing him to quickly run off. Meanwhile, in the ring, Kidd manages to struggle out of the hold and trips Regal up and applies the sharpshooter, eventually causing him to tap out.
Winner of the match: Tyson Kidd [8:04] **1/2
Following the match, McMahon continues to back up the ramp. The Hart Dynasty all stare him down from the ring, especially Bret. The crowd boo McMahon as he says "You screwed yourself, Bret! You screwed yourself!"
Commercial Break
We return to see Josh Mathews and he introduces his guest to be Big Show. He asks Show what his thoughts are about getting a shot at the Intercontinental Championship tonight. Show laughs and says that lately, he's been feeling great. Even when he lost to Chris Jericho and Triple H at Over the Limit and last week on Raw. He says that ever since he got that little annoying thing out of his ear telling him what to do with this fist - he says it as he raises his right fist - and says that nothing will bring down his mood; especially when he wins the Intercontinental Title tonight.
Singles Match
Goldust vs Matt Hardy
The bell rings and Hardy quickly begins to beat down Goldust in the corner. He elbows a bit as well, and Hardy just gets vicious over a couple minutes and the referee continues to have to stop him with the threatening of a disqualification. Goldust gets some momentum for a couple minutes, but fails to connect with the Shattered Dreams and Hardy spins him around from the corner and hits the Twist of Fate and gets the pinfall.
Winner of the match: Matt Hardy [7:22] **
Following the match, Hardy begins to taunt to the crowd his victory. However, he gets a sudden sick look of satisfaction on his face as he yanks Goldust up and throws him into the steel post. He then takes him to the outside and throws him into the steel steps and then takes the steel chair from Justin Roberts and clocks Goldust over the hair with it. Referees come down and protect Goldust from anything more, and Hardy slowly walks around with a disturbing grin across his face.
Commercial Break
Singles Match
Brett DiBiase w/Ted DiBiase vs Cody Rhodes w/Joe Hennig
The bell rings and Rhodes quickly works Brett down making it seem easy. He takes it as easy as well, and just mocks Brett by easily dominating him in the opening minutes. He hits a few more moves before slapping Brett across the face, causing him to suddenly explode with strikes and dropkicks. He sets up for the Million Dollar Dream, but Hennig grabs his leg. He turns to him, but is quickly turned back around and hit with the Cross Rhodes and is pinned.
Winner of the match: Cody Rhodes [8:44] **1/2
Rhodes quickly escapes from the ring as Ted rushes into the ring after him. Rhodes and Hennig back up the ramp raising their arms together. Ted gets on the mic angry and speaks at them, saying sarcastically to Cody congratulations on beating his less experienced brother, who would of won if it wasn't for Joe. Rhodes brushes him off and begins to walk away but Ted calls for him to hold up. He says that in a few weeks, the Pay-Per-View Fatal Four Way is going to be happening - and he has a proposal. A rematch from Over the Limit. Rhodes thinks for a moment, and eventually says fine. Him and Hennig walk backstage as the DiBiase's nod on.
Commercial Break
We return and The Miz makes his way down to the ring to a large amount of boos. He gets on the mic and tells the crowd to shut up multiple times. He says he wants to speak; and says that he has been cheated by John Cena 2 times in the past 8 days. He says he had both matches won but Cena knew that he couldn't beat him fairly so he just found another way around it. The crowd boo him, and he says he doesn't even care about John Cena at this point - but what he does care about is the fact that he is the holder of the Money in the Bank Briefcase. He nods on and claims that times have changed and as soon as he sees fit, he will be the new World Heavyweight Champion! The crowd erupt in boos for a long period of time and he asks them if they really think he would be a poor champion for them, and does his "really?" bit with them getting booed louder each time. He is getting a lot of heat now, and he says that it doesn't matter if they like it or not - whenever he pleases he will be the new World Champion but before he can finish his "I'm The Miz and I'm awesome" bit Kane comes down to the ring. Miz seems a little skeptical about it and he asks what he wants, backing off slowly. Kane snatches hold of Miz's wrist and brings the mic up to him saying he wants his Money in the Bank. Miz gulps as the crowd pops a bit and he says that he doesn't want to do this. So Kane grabs him by the throat, and in Miz's struggle he shouts he'll give him the shot at Fatal Four Way. Kane laughs a bit at it, and slowly lets go. However, as he begins to walk away, Miz strikes him in the back of the head with the briefcase. He points to himself as Kane lays out on the mat and yells at him. However, Kane suddenly grabs his throat and sits up. He gets up and chokeslams Miz. He does his fire from the ring-posts taunt.
Commercial Break

Big Show vs Drew McIntyre©
The bell rings and Show quickly tosses McIntyre around the ring like a rag doll in the opening minutes. McIntyre hits a few rough shots but can't take Show down and is dominated even more. However, McIntyre rakes the eyes on a chokeslam attempt and intentionally falls back into the referee. He gets out of the ring, Show following, and hits him in the gut with the Intercontinental Title and then in the head. He gets back in the ring shaking the referee. However, John Cena rushes down to the ring and ducks a shot and gets revenge with the Attitude Adjustment. He gets out of the ring and salutes at McIntyre as Show begins to get back in the ring. McIntyre rises up dazed and is hit with the Knockout Punch and pinned for the 3.

We quickly cut backstage to see Goldust being tended to. He stutters out saying he'll be fine. He tries to walk away, but Matt Hardy takes him down with a clothesline from behind and yells at him to stay down - he isn't worthy to walk on the same ground as him. Referees once again have to hold Hardy back.

He demands it and Long can't help but laugh at the pain McIntyre is in. He continues to yell at Teddy and kicks over his table.
