Monday, February 10th, 2014 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California
With two weeks to go until WWE Elimination Chamber, the tension is building faster and faster, especially now that all six participants in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match have been revealed. As announced on WWE.com, tonight, four of the six superstars are confirmed to be in action as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton will take on Sheamus, while in the main event, Daniel Bryan will take on John Cena in a rematch from last year at SummerSlam! The question is, will Brock Lesnar make an appearance tonight? Will the Big Show be healthy enough to compete, still suffering the effects of Lesnar's assault at the Royal Rumble? And the biggest question of them all - who will be leaving the Elimination Chamber as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion?

Cover your ears as the theme of John Cena plays to a rather loud mixed reaction here tonight in Los Angles. The man who has been unable to defeat Randy Orton twice on consecutive Pay-Per-Views makes his way to the ring, saluting the crowd and preparing to address them regarding the upcoming Elimination Chamber Match. Grabbing a microphone, Cena begins his speech. "In two weeks, I will be entering my fifth Elimination Chamber Match. Just one short of the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton". Cena explains that having gone through this match a previous four times will not help him in any way, because every time, it's more dangerous than ever before. He claims experience will not play a factor, because once you're locked inside the steel chains, anything can happen. "All I know for sure, is that I'm going to enter that Chamber, and I'm going to do my damn hardest to leave it as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion!". The WWE Universe cheer and he nods in acknowledgement. But tonight, his focus is on the task at hand, and that's a blockbuster match with Daniel Bryan. The mere mention of Bryan's name pumps the crowd up and a chant breaks out, the name of "Daniel Bryan" echoing throughout the arena. Cena chuckles, saying that he totally expects to be up against the entire building when he goes up against Bryan, but he wants Bryan to know that tonight will be strictly competition, and that he has a great deal of respect for him. "If possible, I'd like to bring Bryan out here and have a face-to-face confrontation before our match tonight, so come on out, Daniel". The crowd chant his name a few more times before the familiar theme blasts out and Bryan walks out onto the stage. He hops his way to the ring, rallying the crowd to chant "Yes!" with each step. He enters the ring and stands across from Cena with a microphone of his own. "Thankyou for coming out, Daniel. I want you to know that tonight, I will be bringing my best, as always, and you know that I will do the same inside the Elimination Chamber" says Cena. Bryan responds, "I wouldn't expect anything less, Cena, and you know that I'll bring it just as much". Cena nods and looks to the crowd who are cherring for both men it seems. "Tonight, let's do what we did at SummerSlam last year and tear the house down. What do you say?" Cena says as he extends his hand. Bryan looks down and decides to take the handshake, a show of great sportsmanship before their encounter later tonight. But to ruin the respect-filled atmosphere, out comes the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton.

The WWE Universe make it known that they dislike the Viper, but he strolls out without a care in the world, standing atop the stage. "Well isn't that just cute. Daniel Bryan and John Cena, best buddies" says Orton, the fans detecting his sarcasm and responding with boos. "You two come out here and state your claim to my WWE World Heavyweight Championship, when in reality, neither of you have any chance of taking it from my in two weeks". Cena and Bryan looks at each other as Orton continues, explaining that there is absolutely no possibility that he will lose his title, and he is going to prove to the world why that is a fact tonight when he defeats Sheamus. Orton says that he shouldn't even be defending his title inside the Elimination Chamber because he's already beaten most of the competitors countless times. Speaking directly to the WWE Universe, Orton declares "It won't be John Cena, it won't be Daniel Bryan. Hell, it won't even be Brock Lesnar. The man who will headline WrestleMania as WWE World Heavyweight Champion - is Randy Orton!". A resounding boo is heard around the arena, but it isn't long before those boos turn to cheers as the theme of Sheamus hits. The Celtic Warrior emerges onto the stage as Orton backs off to the side. "Fella, you talk a big game, but how are you going to defend those there titles when you've got no head? Because I'm gonna kick it off your shoulders later tonight". The WWE Universe erupt as Orton's face goes red with anger, disliking being threatened. Sheamus looks down the ramp at Cena and Bryan. "With all due respect, fellas, there's only going to be on man leaving that Chamber, and it's gonna be me" declares the Great White, before dropping the microphone and turning his attention back to Orton. The Raw theme plays as the four competitors all share looks, the two matches looming on the horizon for later tonight.

----------------------------------

Michael Cole greets us as we return from a commercial break and we are told that tonight, we will see two members of The Shield, and two members of the Wyatt Family compete in separate tag team matches as a warm-up of sorts for their collision at Elimination Chamber.

Cody Rhodes, Goldust & The Usos def. WWE Tag Team Champions New Age Outlaws & The Real Americans with Zeb Colter; A huge eight-man tag team match for tonight's Raw featuring four major tag teams in the division right now, including the WWE Tag Team Champions. All eight men got some sort of offence in, but the eventual finish came when Cody Rhodes was able to hit Road Dogg with a big Cross-Rhodes and pick up the victory!

The two sets of brothers celebrated together as the New Age Outlaws and the Real Americans retreated. It was clear that these rivalries were far from over and this was only the beginning. Cody began screaming at Dogg and Gunn from the ring and Goldust had to hold him back, Rhodes declaring that he wanted the WWE Tag Team Championships back.

----------------------------------

Renee Young is backstage, and she is standing alongside the Big Show, who gets a decent pop. "Big Show, in two weeks, you will be entering your fourth Elimination Chamber Match with the opportunity to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Did you hear what four of your opponents had to say just moments ago?" asks Renee. The giant responds, "I heard what they said, and honestly, I can't argue with them. Everyone is in it to win it, they'd be crazy not to be. But I have something they do not, and that's extra motivation". Renee asks what Show means, and he tells her that he has the extra motivation of revenge on Brock Lesnar. He says that of course the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is the goal, but anybody getting in his way of his payback will feel his Knockout Punch, and he doesn't care if it's Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena or Daniel Bryan. "But I'm saving a very special one for Brock Lesnar, and I guarantee that he will get it one way or another". Show leaves as Renee looks on.

----------------------------------

Brodus Clay def. Kofi Kingston; Last week, Brodus Clay showed his dominance when he brutalised Zack Ryder. Ever since splitting from Tensai and Tons of Funk, Clay has shown an entirely new side that we haven't seen from him in quite some time. This week, Clay continued to dominate, this time over a seasoned superstar, Kofi Kingston. Even with Kingston's experience and previous accolades, it was never going to give him an escape from Clay's destruction. Kingston found himself on the receiving end of the big splash, allowing Clay to take the victory.

Brodus Clay stood up, barely even celebrating despite a dominant victory. "I'm the Main Event Playa!" he exclaims, pushing down on the top rope, showing off his strength. Will anyone will be able to stand up to Clay and his new attitude?

----------------------------------

Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns with Dean Ambrose def. Prime Time Players; It was The Shield's turn at tag team action first, before the Wyatt Family have their turn later tonight. The former WWE Tag Team Champions, Rollins and Reigns took on the Prime Time Players, and in light of their recent unity, despite some troubles, they once again dominated the competition and the match was ended by Roman Reigns as he drilled Darren Young with a vicious Spear.

Looking as fine-tuned as ever, The Shield stood victorious in the center of the ring. The United States Champion, Dean Ambrose stepped into the ring to congratulate his partners, but instead of celebrating, he started giving some directions, and with that, the Hounds of Justice assaulted Titus O'Neil and then lifted him into the shoulders of Reigns before driving him down to the canvas with a thunderous Triple Powerbomb. They put their fists together between them to show their unity and gave a cold stare into the camera. A message had been sent to the Wyatt Family, a message that simply said "Beat that".

----------------------------------

The WWE Universe were not too happy to hear the theme of Alberto Del Rio up next as he came out looking fairly happy with himself. We are shown a recap of last week on Raw where Del Rio issued a challenge to Batista and then tried a sneak attack on the Animal, but failed. Despite his attack not going to plan, he still left with a smirk on his face, knowing he was in the head of the Royal Rumble winner. Del Rio entered the ring and began to speak to the WWE Universe. "The Animal, Batista is no match for me. And at Elimination Chamber, I will prove that when I make him submit and break his arm!". The fans boo, but Del Rio couldn't care less. He explains how when he breaks Batista's arm, he plans to replace him as the #1 Contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and go on to headline WrestleMania XXX. He explains that Batista might have won the Royal Rumble twice, but he holds the biggest Royal Rumble win of all time, defeating not 29, but 39 other men back in 2012 when he won the Royal Rumble. Del Rio says that he will always be better than Batista, and that is why he deserves to headline WrestleMania. But, as expected, Batista isn't going to let Del Rio's actions last week, and his harsh words this week slide. The theme of Batista suddenly hits and the Animal bursts out from backstage, making a beeline for the ring. Del Rio quickly drops the microphone and removes his jacket as BAtista slides under the ropes. They meet in the center of the ring and immediately begin trading blows. Batista was looking for some revenge from last week, and it looked as though he was well on the way to getting it as he clotheslined Del Rio over the top rope and sent him crashing into the announce desk. He hopped through the ropes and took off his shirt before continuing to beat down on the Mexican Aristocrat. Michael Cole, JBL and Jerry Lawler quickly got out of the way as Batista bounced Del Rio's skull off the announce table. The Animal started tearing the table apart and he signalled the thumbs down, perhaps ready to put Del Rio through the table with a Batista Bomb. But out of nowhere, Del Rio delivers a sickening superkick to the Animal, laying him out on the table momentarily. As Del Rio takes a quick breather, he grabs Batista and then proceeds to ram him left shoulder-first into the steel ring post! Batista falls to the floor, holding his arm in pain as Del Rio smirks. Del Rio quickly escapes from ringside as Batista climbs to his feet, still holding his left arm. He looks up the ramp, breathing heavily in frustration as Del Rio once again leaves with a grin on his face. Does Del Rio really have Batista's number? The Animal gets his chance at revenge in two weeks at Elimination Chamber.

----------------------------------

Intercontinental Champion Big E Langston & Dolph Ziggler def. The Miz & Damien Sandow; Once again, the back and forth rivalry of Dolph Ziggler and The Miz continues, this time with the added elements of Damien Sandow and the Intercontinental Champion, Big E Langston. Langston and Ziggler rekindle their previous partnership from last year in this match, and it seems it pays off as Dolph Ziggler is able to hit the ZigZag on Damien Sandow and pick up the victory for himself and Langston.

The Miz leaves the ring, no even staying to check on his fallen partner, obviously not caring. Ziggler grins at The Miz with the WWE Universe cheering him on, and he then turns around to see Langston stood in front of him. Ziggler and Langston share a stare before shaking hands, clearly their previous alliance still holding some weight here tonight. The duo look up the ramp at The Miz who is furious at the loss.

----------------------------------

Up next, we are told it's time for the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton to take on Sheamus. We see both men on their way to the ring, Orton looking ticked off after being threatened by Sheamus earlier tonight, but Sheamus has a big smile on his face.

Sheamus def. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton via Countout; This match was one of two announced by the Authority for tonight's edition of Raw. This past Friday on SmackDown, Randy Orton attempted to RKO Daniel Bryan, but ended up on the receiving end of a Brogue Kick from Sheamus. Looking to regain his credibility as Champion, Orton looked to knock-off the Celtic Warrior tonight, but Sheamus looked more impressive than ever against the Viper. Just as Sheamus was closing in on the victory, measuring Orton for a Brogue Kick, Orton turned around, saw it coming and quickly slide under the ropes. It was then that he decided to snatch his WWE World Heavyweight Championship from ringside and leave up the ramp to a thunderous amount of boos. Sheamus looked on, shouting for Orton to come back and fight him, but the referee counted to ten and the match was over.

Disappointing everyone including Sheamus, Orton took his ball and went home, completely ignoring the response from the crowd. Sheamus shook his head and even refused to let the referee raise his hand, obviously not happy with a countout victory, and understandably so.

----------------------------------

Returning from a commercial break, we go backstage to see Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Kane in their office. Triple H says that he isn't happy with Randy walking out on his match and ruining on of his main events tonight. Kane said that Orton is becoming increasingly disappointing, but they have bigger things to worry about, and mentions how CM Punk is no doubt ready to disrupt the show again tonight. Triple H says he knows Kane will deal with it. Kane goes to leave the room but he bumps into Goldust and Cody Rhodes to a cheer from the WWE Universe. Stephanie McMahon steps forward and asks them what they want. "We're tired of our title shot being delayed. Brock Lesnar ruined our last shot and we want our official rematch" says Cody, but before Stephanie can reply, Triple H steps in and tells Cody to calm down. "We were getting around to it, Cody. You know us, we're very busy people, but we would never want to screw you out of your rightful rematch" responds the COO. He tells them that he is going to give them the right stage to get their WWE Tag Team Championships Match, and announces that the New Age Outlaws will defend their titles against Cody Rhodes and Goldust at Elimination Chamber in two weeks. "Thankyou, it's about time we--" begins Goldust, but Cody cuts him off. "Don't thank them, we earned this and it's our right" declares Cody. Goldust tries to calm his brother down and eventually pulls him away as Triple H and Stephanie McMahon look on with grins on their faces for an unknown reason.

----------------------------------

Big Show def. Curtis Axel with Ryback; It turns out the Big Show was indeed fit to compete tonight, and unfortunately for Curtis Axel, he was the one on the receiving end of Big Show's path of destruction. The third-generation superstar didn't really stand a chance against the extremely vengeful Big Show, not many people would. Axel found himself on the end of one of Big Show's infamous Knockput Punches, laying him out cold and giving the World's Largest Athlete the victory.

Ryback pulled his tag team partner out of the ring, wanting no part of Big Show himself. Show shouts and raises his hand high as the WWE Universe cheer, but the cheering stops when a familiar voice is heard. "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman". Boos fill the arena as the titantron lights up, the face of Paul Heyman staring down at the Big Show. Heyman applauds Big Show, saying that was an impressive victory. "That was certainly impressive, but it doesn't matter what happens between now and February 23rd, because the result will still be the same". He explains how Brock Lesnar will leave his first ever Elimination Chamber Match as the winner and the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion and go on to headline WrestleMania. "My client, Brock Lesnar heard what those so-called 'opponents' had to say earlier, and Mr. Lesnar is not at all concerned. Much like he isn't concerned about your threats of revenge". Big Show looks up with a scowl as Paul Heyman steps aside and Brock Lesnar walks onto the scene to a large amount of boos. "Big Show, I don't care if I have to destroy you again. Or if I have to do the same to John Cena, Sheamus, Randy Orton or Daniel Bryan. I will walk out of Elimination Chamber as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it" declares Brock. Lesnar and Heyman laugh to themselves. "I'll see you in two weeks" snickers Brock as the titantron cuts off. Big Show looks on in anger.

----------------------------------

Divas Champion AJ Lee with Tamina Snuka def. Cameron with Naomi; The match was made for Elimination Chamber and Naomi is just two weeks away from receiving her shot at the Divas Championship. But tonight, it was her partner, Cameron's chance to get one over on the Divas Champion. Unfortunately, thanks to a minor distraction by Tamina when she attacked Naomi on the outside, AJ Lee rolled Cameron up and scored a victory over the Funkadactyl.

AJ Lee quickly fled from ringside, gripping her Divas Championship tightly, Tamina Snuka right by her side with a smirk. Naomi slid in the ring and checked on her fallen partner, glaring at AJ up the ramp. AJ gave Naomi a sarcastic wave and blew her a kiss as she left with Tamina.

----------------------------------

Returning from a commercial break, the WWE Universe erupt as the theme of CM Punk hits and he comes out with fire in his eyes. As he enters the ring, there is a "CM Punk" chant coming from the crowd. "Last week, yet again I was Chokeslammed by Kane after I overcame another of the Authority's obstacles and beat the Wyatt Family by myself. They just can't accept that I am not meant to be held down" says Punk. He says that the Authority are trying their hardest, but even that's not enough, and at Elimination Chamber, he promises to put Kane away and send a direct message to Triple H that he can't be held back. "But why wait until Elimination Chamber? Let'd do this right now! Kane, why don't you bring your big red ass out here and try to Chokeslam me now". The WWE Universe erupt as CM Punk gets in a fighting stances, shouting off-mic for Kane to come and get some. But there is a collection of boos as CM Punk's request apparently goes unheard. The theme of Kane isn't heard, but the theme of Triple H is as he and Stephanie McMahon walk out onto the stage hand-in-hand. "Punk, Punk, Punk. Why do you do this to yourself? Why can't you just understand that what we're doing is only what is best" explains Triple H. "It's what's best for business. Can you not see that? We had your back, we supported you, but you showed us that you don't have what it takes to be the top guy. And we only want the best". CM Punk goes red with rage and raises the microphone to his lips once more. "Don't have what it takes? That's rich coming from a guy who got his big break by sleeping with the boss's daughter" responds Punk, to a huge gasp from the WWE Universe. Triple H seems to laugh it off. "Ah, nothing ever changes with you, does it, Punk? The fact is, you can't accept that you're just not what we're looking for. You believe you are something that you're not, and what you're not, is above the Authority". Punk responds, "Hunter, I think what this boils down to is that you're afraid of me. You're afraid of me becoming a bigger success than you ever were, and I'd do it without marrying into the McMahon family". Stephanie steps in at this point, having heard enough from CM Punk. "You watch your tongue, Mr. Brooks or I will personally have you fired" she shouts. CM Punk laughs. "Oh now I have your attention? Well how about your dear husband takes his balls out of your purse and takes this up with me face-to-face, man-to-man, right here, right now?". The WWE Universe explode as CM Punk lays down the challenge directly to Triple H. Triple H shrugs his shoulders and hands Stephanie his microphone, removing his jacket as well. The fans go wild as it looks like we're about to see Triple H collide with CM Punk live on Raw. Triple H walks down the ramp towards the ring... but then stops. He smirks and then bursts into laughter before shaking his head and backing back up the ramp. CM Punk looks on in confusion, but it then becomes clear - Kane appears behind Punk! The fans try to alert Punk, but it's too late as Kane spins him around and grabs him by the throat. But CM Punk fights back, kicks Kane in the gut and shoves him back. Punk isn't going to get Chokeslammed three times in two weeks and delivers a thunderous roundhouse kick to the side of Kane's head. Kane bounces off the ropes and Punk lifts him up - Go To Sleep! The crowd is deafening as Kane falls to the canvas and rolls under the ropes, CM Punk finally getting the upper hand over the Authority. He glares up the ramp at Triple H and Stephanie McMahon who look on in anger, disappointed that this ambush hadn't gone exactly to plan. CM Punk climbs the corner as his theme plays and the WWE Universe chant his name.

----------------------------------

Raw returns from a commercial break and we are told that during that break, the Authority revealed that CM Punk will be in action this Friday on SmackDown as he will take on the Bulgarian Brute, Alexander Rusev! But up next, the Wyatt Family are ready to compete.

Luke Harper & Erick Rowan with Bray Wyatt def. Los Matadores with El Torito; The Shield were waiting for a response, and here it was, and it was a response to remember. In dominating fashion, Harper and Rowan annihilated Los Matadores with ease, eventually closing the match when Harper hit Fernando with a vicious clothesline after Erick Rowan had disposed of Diego by throwing him over the top rope with a gorilla press. All the while, Bray Wyatt looked on from his rocking chair, stroking his beard with an intriguing look on his face.

Bray Wyatt stepped into the ring with a huge smile on his face as he grabbed the head of his disciples and pulled them towards his own, saying something to them in a huddle-like position. He then shoved them away and they turned their attention to the little El Torito who had entered the ring to check on the fallen Fernando. Rowan grabbed El Torito by his mask and lifted him up before dropping him over his knee with a backbreaker as the crowd cringed. Wyatt laughed and dropped to his knees in front of Harper and Rowan as Rowan tosses Torito aside like a rag doll. But as Wyatt smiled to the skies, the lights went out and the titantron came on. "Oh Braaaaaaaay... look up here, at the big TV" said Ambrose, who appeared on the titantron alongside Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. "You want to talk about this being 'your house' and how we are the ones in danger? You're deluded, buddy". Seth Rollins speaks next, "You can live in your fantasy world, Bray, but at Elimination Chamber, you're gonna come crashing down to reality when we beat the three of you senseless and do what we do best". Roman Reigns is next to speak, making a very simple statement. "You can believe in whatever you like, but one thing we can guarantee is that come Elimination Chamber, you will believe in The Shield". The titantron cuts off and the lights return to normal. Wyatt's expression changes drastically from blank to hysterics in a split second. He laughs hysterically as Harper and Rowan smirk behind him in what was a highly disturbing scene. These two teams are both unique in their own way, but only one of them can leave successful at Elimination Chamber.

----------------------------------

Up next, it's time for the big main event between Daniel Bryan and John Cena. We see them both approaching the entrance backstage, ready to compete in a match that we haven't seen since last year at SummerSlam. It's a big main event, and it's NEXT!

Daniel Bryan def. John Cena via Disqualification; A huge rematch from last year's SummerSlam and a match with huge momentum possibilities going into Elimination Chamber in two weeks. These two huge superstars went toe-to-toe in a match fuelled by respect and determination. Shaking hands before the match, Bryan and Cena gave it their all in one of the best main events in a while on Monday Night Raw. John Cena looked to end the match when he locked in the STF, but Bryan managed to escape and locked in his own submission, the Yes! Lock but Cena returned the favour and escaped that too. Cena picked Bryan up onto his shoulders and went for the Attitude Adjustment, but Bryan slipped off and ran towards the corner. He bounced out of the corner - Busaiku Knee! The WWE Universe erupt as both men lay out on the canvas. Bryan crawls over to Cena's body, but before he can get there... Randy Orton slides in the ring and drops a big clubbing blow to the spine of Bryan, forcing the referee to call for the bell.

Orton continued to beat down on Bryan as the WWE Universe boo him out of the building. But the cavalry soon arrives when Sheamus hits the ring. But Orton sees it coming and ducks a Brogue Kick - RKO! An RKO to Sheamus puts Orton back in control. He then measures Bryan as he slowly climbs to his feet, and he goes for another RKO! But Bryan shoves him off - Attitude Adjustment! Cena drops Orton with an Attitude Adjustment, and just like on SmackDown, Orton's ambush plans have been thwarted! He quickly rolls out of the ring and crawls up the ramp in retreat. Sheamus slowly gets to his feet and we are left with the image of John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Sheamus standing together as Orton leaves up the ramp, clutching his WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Orton's luck hasn't been great the past few weeks, could we be coming to the end of the era of Orton? And if so, who will be the one to end it? We will find out in two weeks inside the Elimination Chamber!

Friday, February 14th, 2014 at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Canada

It's Valentine's Day here on SmackDown and we are welcomed to the show by Michael Cole and John 'Bradshaw' Layfield. JBL comically hugs Cole to celebrate the event but it soon turns to serious business as we are reminded that tonight, as per order of the Authority, CM Punk will go one-on-one with the Bulgarian Brute, Alexander Rusev. We are also told that just before the show began, they were informed that we will see the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton take on the Big Show. Which of the two men competing inside the Elimination Chamber in ten days will walk out victorious?

But first, the WWE Universe erupt as Daniel Bryan's theme hits and he comes out chanting "Yes!" alongside the thousands of fans in attendance. As he enters the ring, he grabs a microphone from ringside and begins to speak. "I'm feeling the love tonight, guys" he says to a cheer and a smirk on his face. "That love is what keeps me going, it's what drives me, and it's what will motivate me in ten days when I enter the Elimination Chamber and I finally get my shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship". The WWE Universe start a "Daniel Bryan" chant as he continues. He explains that this is the opportunity he has wanted for months now, and even though it's inside the most dangerous structure known to man, and it's against five other guys, he's still feeling as motivated as ever. Pointing towards the WrestleMania sign that looms above the arena, he says that his dream was always to one day headline WrestleMania, and this is his chance to do just that, and as WWE World Heavyweight Champion no less. But before Daniel Bryan can continue, the Director of Operations, Kane makes an appearance to boos from the WWE Universe. "Daniel, I think you may be setting your sights a bit too high" says Kane as Bryan looks on. He says that Bryan has the opportunity, but there's no real chance of him winning the Elimination Chamber Match. He gets heat from the crowd and a scowl from Bryan, but continues to speak. "Just like CM Punk, you seem to rate yourself much higher than you can actually back up, which is why Punk will be taken down a peg or two at Elimination Chamber". Kane says that Daniel Bryan will be met by the realisation soon enough, so it's just a matter of time. He leaves and Bryan looks on, clearly not happy with Kane's words.

----------------------------------

Bray Wyatt with Luke Harper & Erick Rowan def. Rey Mysterio with Sin Cara; On Raw, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan were victorious over Los Matadores and showed their dominance to The Shield, but tonight it was their leader's turn. Rey Mysterio took Bray Wyatt to the limit, but it was the deranged messiah that took the victory when he hit the former World Champion with the Sister Abigail.

Sin Cara pulled his partner from the ring as the Wyatt Family stood in victory, soaking in the boos from the WWE Universe. "Ten day, my brothers!" screams Bray, obviously referring to the ten day that remain until the Wyatt Family face The Shield for the first time ever. A clash that nobody will want to miss.

----------------------------------

We go backstage to where Brad Maddox and Vickie Guerrero are talking. They mention that they both received an angry phone call from Kane regarding their decision to put both Brock Lesnar and the Big Show into the Elimination Chamber Match. Speak of the devil, in walks Kane. They instantly start kissing up to the Director of Operations but he puts them in their place by telling them to stop. He asks if they have seen CM Punk arrive in the building to which Maddox says he has received word that Punk is here, which gets a pop from the crowd. Kane says that he's glad Punk came to work tonight because he thought he might have been scared to face his opponent. Suddenly, in walk Alexander Rusev and his social ambassador, Lana. Kane smiles and greets Rusev with a handshake, and one for Lana too. He says that he has the greatest of faith in Rusev to get the job done tonight to which he says something in Bulgarian. Lana translates for them and explains that Rusev says he will crush CM Punk tonight. A grin on his face, Kane pat Rusev on the shoulder, but his expression does not change. Rusev and Lana leaves. "That guy is intense" says Maddox. "He is. That's why I'm asking him to do this and not you..." replies Kane which shuts Maddox up instantly.

----------------------------------

Justin Gabriel def. Fandango with Summer Rae; As if things couldn't get any worse for Fandango, he suffered yet another loss tonight on SmackDown, again thanks to the involvement of R-Truth and Xavier Woods. The two extravagant superstars were on commentary for the match and Fandango's concentration was totally shot. He found himself rolled up and his shoulders pinned down for the three, losing to Justin Gabriel.

Gabriel quickly left the ring with his hands raised as the WWE Universe cheered, Fandango looking on in disbelief. R-Truth and Xavier Woods pointed and laughed as Fandango became enraged. Summer Rae tried her best to calm him down, but Fandango was having none of it, stomping his feet as Truth and Woods left up the ramp.

----------------------------------

CM Punk is in the house! We are shown footage of the Straight Edge Superstar making his way down a backstage corridor, ready to take on a humongous challenge in the form of the Bulgarian Brute, Alexander Rusev.

CM Punk def. Alexander Rusev with Lana; This match, ordered by the Authority was exceptionally good and really showed how capable Alexander Rusev is of hanging with the WWE's top superstars. He kept Punk at bay with his brute force and at one point locked in the devastating Accolade that had made many submit on NXT, but CM Punk managed to escape the hold and mount a comeback, eventually hitting the Bulgarian with a Go To Sleep and ending the match.

CM Punk celebrated the hard-earned victory as Rusev rolled out of the ring into the arms of his social ambassador, Lana. Punk smirked, realising he had once again stuck it to the Authority. Speaking of which, for the second time tonight, the Director of Operations, Kane made an appearance. He stood on the stage a sarcastically applauded CM Punk on his victory. Punk's grin turned to a stern glare as he warned Kane that he was coming for him at Elimination Chamber. Kane continued to applaud.

----------------------------------

The Funkadactyls def. Alicia Fox & Aksana; With Naomi's Divas Championship Match growing closer and closer, every victory matters, and tonight she added another one to her list as she and her tag team partner Cameron defeated Alicia Fox and Aksana as the Divas Champion, AJ Lee watched from ringside. Sitting beside her "muscle", Tamina Snuka, AJ commented on Naomi's impressive in-ring ability, but claimed she was "not a patch on me". Naomi was the one to pick up the victory when she hit Alicia Fox with the Rear View.

The Funkadactyls celebrated the win, AJ Lee standing up and simply walking away from the commentary table with Tamina. Naomi leaned over the ropes and shouted "I'm coming for that title, AJ!", but AJ completely blanked her. The Divas Champion and Tamina simply left up the ramp without even turning back to look into the ring, clearly trying to send a message to the number one contender that she isn't concerned and doesn't see her as a threat. Regardless, Naomi and Cameron continued to celebrate.

----------------------------------

United States Champion Dean Ambrose def. Christian; With Bray Wyatt scoring a victory earlier tonight, the pressure was on for Dean Ambrose to deliver on behalf of The Shield. Originally appearing without his fellow cohorts, he and Christian went back and forth. Without any assistance whatsoever, Ambrose was able to put Christian away with the Headlock Driver for the victory.

Emerging from the WWE Universe, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins appeared and celebrated alongside Dean Ambrose, but the celebration was short lived as the infamous shout of the Wyatt's was heard, complete with a flash of our screens. As the lights returned, the Wyatt Family were seen atop the stage; Bray sat in his rocking chair as Rowan and Harper stood either side of him. Bray begins to laugh hysterically as The Shield look on with emotionless expressions. This is without a doubt a war, but the question is, which team will survive it come Elimination Chamber?

----------------------------------

Renee Young is backstage, standing alongside the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton to many boos. "Randy, you are just ten days away from defending your WWE World Heavyweight Championship inside the dangerous environment that is the Elimination Chamber. Are you at all worried that with five opponents, you may be at a serious risk of losing your title?" asks Renee. Orton looks at her and laughs. "Renee, do you even do your research? This will be my sixth Elimination Chamber Match - that's the second most of anyone in history" explains Orton. He says that the other guys aren't as experienced as he is, and that is why there is no question that he will leave the Chamber still WWE World Heavyweight Champion. "But... you've never actually won one... have you, Randy?". Randy Orton goes beet red and glares at Renee before storming off. JBL says that it seems Renee touched a nerve with Orton there, but Cole says it's a true fact: Randy Orton has never won an Elimination Chamber Match.

----------------------------------

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton def. Big Show; The interview prior to the commercial break was clearly on Orton's mind, and it appeared that he used that anger and frustration during the match. The Big Show was also looking to get some momentum going before the Elimination Chamber Match, but Orton's aggression seemed to give him somewhat of an advantage over the World's Largest Athlete. Despite that, the Big Show fought back and almost had Orton up for a Knockout Punch, but out of nowhere - Paul Heyman appears! Big Show notices him out of the corner of his eye and turns his attention to the advocate of Brock Lesnar, shouting "What the hell are you doing out here?!", but Heyman simply smirks, knowing that he had caused enough of a distraction. And he had - RKO from Orton! Orton hooks the giants leg and gets the three count.

Randy Orton gets to his feet and is handed his WWE World Heavyweight Championship, raising both titles above his head. Defeating the largest man in the Elimination Chamber Match is a huge victory for Orton and he knows it. He leaves the ring and walks up the ramp, throwing the belts over his shoulders. Meanwhile at ringside, Paul Heyman looks through the ropes with his signature smirk, devious as ever, looking directly into the eyes of a very angry giant. Heyman may have cost the Big Show a victory tonight, but was that a wise idea just ten days away from the night where Brock Lesnar will be locked inside two miles of chain with this monster? Who knows. SmackDown fades to a close.

[✖ AJ]

Solid opening promo for Smackdown with Daniel Bryan working the crowd up. Kane's interruption makes me wonder if The Authority will screw Bryan out of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber. We all know they don't want Punk getting anywhere, but how far will they go with Bryan? We'll see. Solid opening match with Bray Wyatt defeating Rey Mysterio, an expected victory coming from the former. CM Punk facing Alexander Rusev, huh? That is interesting. I don't think you'll have Rusev go over Punk though, even if he is new. A solid contest would do a little bit for him, I suppose. Fandango losing thanks to Xavier Woods and R-Truth, meh, three guys I could really care less for at this point. Punk with the win over Rusev was anticipated, and Rusev getting a little bit in the match should be a solid nod for him. Kane ain't afraid of no Punk. SOMEBODY CALL MY MOMMA Naomi and her Funkadactyl sister Cameron get the win to no surprise. I'll assume AJ keeps the belt at Elimination Chamber though, especially going into WrestleMania. Dean Ambrose getting the win over Christian is fine. Kind of a shame what has happened to Christian now, isn't it? Oh well. Maybe he'll do something in the future before retiring. A nice appearance from The Wyatt Family afterward to intimidate The Shield. Building up a heel versus heel feud just seems really odd. Finally, the main event, with Randy Orton getting a good victory over Big Show thanks to the distraction from Paul Heyman. He won't be able to count on that, obviously, inside of the Elimination Chamber. A good episode of Smackdown to progress things to the pay-per-view.

Monday, February 17th, 2014 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado
Just six days remain until six men will enter the dangerous Elimination Chamber in hopes of leaving with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Randy Orton will defend the gold against John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Big Show and Brock Lesnar in one of the biggest Elimination Chamber Matches yet. Orton's chances of leaving with the gold intact seems to be slim, but if there was ever a time for the Viper to pull it out of the bag, it would be now. Not only to remain Champion, but to regain the trust he has slowly been losing from the Authority. We are told by Michael Cole that tonight, the Elimination Chamber participants will meet in the ring for one final confrontation, and we will also see CM Punk in action against Alberto Del Rio!

But along with the Elimination Chamber Match, there will be another heated collision between Alberto Del Rio and the 2014 Royal Rumble winner, Batista. Speaking of which, the theme of Batista his to a huge reaction from the Colorado crowd and the Animal makes his way onto the stage, setting off his pyrotechnics to excite the WWE Universe. Entering the ring, Batista begins to speak. "Everybody knows I came back for three things, and I have already checked two off the list" he says, referring to winning the Royal Rumble and headlining WrestleMania. Batista says that Alberto Del Rio wants to stand in his way of becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but he guarantees that nothing will stop him from achieving his goal. "Alberto Del Rio made this an issue, and now he's going to have to deal with it" declares the Animal to a pop. Batista goes on to say that after he beats Del Rio, he'll be watching the Elimination Chamber Match closely. "But it doesn't matter who leaves as Champion, whether it's Randy Orton or any of the other guys - I will be taking home the gold at WrestleMania". But before Batista can continue any further, the thorn in his side, Alberto Del Rio walks out onto the stage to interrupt. "Batista, I wouldn't be so confident in yourself. After all, you still have me to worry about, and as I have said time and time again - you won't make it to WrestleMania". Batista gets serious, glaring up at Del Rio who smirks back at him. Del Rio declares that he isn't afraid of Batista, or even intimidated by him, because he isn't the Animal he used to be, he's a "pathetic chihuahua" who needs to be put down. Batista drops the microphone and beckons Del Rio to the ring, but Del Rio laughs and tells Batista he isn't stupid. He tells him to watch what he does to CM Punk tonight if he wants to see into his future. He leaves with a big grin on his face as Batista looks on, clearly agitated by Del Rio's smug behaviour.

----------------------------------

We return from commercial break, and we are told by Michael Cole that in the Elimination Chamber Kickoff Show, we will see The Usos go up against the Real Americans to determine the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships.

The Usos def. Ryback & Curtis Axel; It seems like lately The Usos are simply unstoppable, paving their way towards the WWE Tag Team Championship with ease. Tonight, they put away the "Rybaxel" duo with their usual enthusiasm, eventually closing the match with Jimmy Uso hit the Uso Splash on Axel for the victory.

The Usos celebrated their win with the WWE Universe, but the celebration doesn't last long as the Real Americans, followed closely by Zeb Colter, assault the Samoan brothers with vicious intent. Clearly attempting to get one-up on their Elimination Chamber Kickoff opponents, Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro beat down on the Usos, leaving them laying on the ring mat motionless. Colter applauds the intensity of his team as Swagger and Cesaro stand side-by-side and shout the three infamous words - "We the people!".

----------------------------------

We go backstage to where Goldust and Cody Rhodes are preparing for their consecutive matches with the New Age Outlaws tonight. Goldust tells Cody that tonight they need to get these wins if they're going to have some momentum going into the title match this Sunday. Cody tells Goldust that he doesn't need reminding and he wants to get some payback on them. Concerned by his anger, Goldust tells Cody that he shouldn't let his anger take control, because they need to focus. "Look, I'm focused, I just want to get this done and get our titles back" says Cody. Goldust nods his head and the two brothers embrace. Goldust takes on Billy Gunn and Cody Rhodes faces Road Dogg - NEXT!

----------------------------------

Goldust with Cody Rhodes def. WWE Tag Team Champion Billy Gunn with Road Dogg; This tag team feud has become extremely heated over the past month, Cody Rhodes losing his patience with the New Age Outlaws and wanting nothing more than to reclaim their titles. But they would have to wait until Elimination Chamber for that opportunity. Meanwhile, Goldust managed to score a necessary victory over Billy Gunn, hitting him with the Final Cut and scoring he pinfall.

Cody Rhodes enters to celebrate with Goldust, but not for long, as the next match is scheduled to get right under way. Rhodes and Road Dogg swap with their respective partners as Raw fades to a commercial break.

WWE Tag Team Champion Road Dogg with Billy Gunn def. Cody Rhodes with Goldust; The blood was still pumping in both men from seeing their partners compete just moments before. However, the result was reversed this time around with a win for the WWE Tag Team Champions. Billy Gunn decided he wanted another piece of Goldust and attacked him outside the ring, which led to Cody noticing and becoming distracted. This allowed Road Dogg to roll Cody up, grabbing a handful of tights in the process and picking up a cheap victory.

The New Age Outlaws quickly fled the scene as the Rhodes brothers looked on in disappointment. Cody's anger shone through as he pounded the mat in frustration, close to tears. Goldust tried to console his brother, but Cody shoved him away, telling him he just needed space. This situation is really getting to Cody and it shows.

----------------------------------

The Wyatt Family def. Kofi Kingston, R-Truth & Xavier Woods; We are just six days away from the highly anticipated clash between the Wyatt Family and The Shield. In a last minute showcase of what they're capable of, the Wyatt Family laid waste to the team of Kofi Kingston, R-Truth and Xavier Woods, sending a clear message to their opponents at Elimination Chamber. Bray Wyatt closed the match with the Sister Abigail to R-Truth.

The disturbing atmosphere that follows them around returns as Wyatt drops to his knees, flanked by his disciples Erick Rowan and Luke Harper as he praises to the skies. "Your time has come Shield - it's your move" he screams as Raw fades away.

----------------------------------

Raw returns to see the ring set up for an edition of MizTV, already inside the ring - The Miz. The crowd boos as Miz begins to speak. "Over the past few weeks, I have found myself occupied with an annoyance that is Dolph Ziggler. But tonight's MizTV isn't about him, it's about somebody who seems to have picked an allegiance with him, and that is the Intercontinental Champion, Big E Langston". Miz reveals that his guest tonight is that very man, and Langston makes his way to the ring, grabbing a microphone of his own. Miz asks Big E why he has chosen to renew his friendship with Dolph Ziggler. Langston explains that he and Dolph rekindled a while ago and have put the past behind them, and the fact is that Big E, much like the WWE Universe, simply couldn't stand listening to The Miz any longer. The crowd cheer as Miz goes red with embarrassment. Miz says that Langston has become Ziggler's lapdog all over again, but it doesn't surprise him. He says that Langston knows that without Ziggler, he would lose the Intercontinental Championship soon enough to The Miz, but Langston laughs, and says that if Miz wants some of him, then he can come get it any time. Miz smirks and says that if Langston wants to put his Intercontinental Championship on the line, he'd happily take him up on the offer and rid him of the gold. "Be my guest - any opportunity to shut your mouth" says Langston to another pop. Miz looks down and then suddenly - BAM! He nails Langston in the head with the microphone and then unleashes a furious attack on the Intercontinental Champion. But then suddenly, the theme of Dolph Ziggler hits and he comes to Langston's aid, leaping into the ring and going right for Miz. But after barely getting in a few shots, The Miz retreats up the ramp, barely a scratch left on him and a smug grin remaining on his face. Ziggler helps Langston to his feet, but all the while looks at the Intercontinental Championship belt in Langston's hand. Langston and Ziggler stare at each other before turning their attention to The Miz on the ramp. This situation seems to have turned a new corner - where could it lead?

----------------------------------

Brodus Clay def. Tyson Kidd; Domination. That's what comes with Brodus Clay. Claiming yet another victim in the form of Tyson Kidd, Brodus Clay decimates the opposition, proving to be a rising threat here in the WWE. The self-proclaimed "Main Event Playa" crushed Kidd with a big splash for the victory.

Screaming to the WWE Universe, despite their boos, Clay lets them know that he is here to stay, and looks to dominate the entire roster. JBL declares that 2014 will indeed be the year of Brodus Clay whether the WWE Universe like it or not. The referee tends to Kidd as Clay leaves with a scowl on his face.

----------------------------------

Renee Young is backstage, standing alongside CM Punk to a huge pop from the crowd. She asks Punk if he is ready to go into battle with the Director of Operation, Kane this Sunday at Elimination Chamber. "I've never been more ready, Renee. Kane is just a pawn in the Authority's little game, and to get to the king, you've got to take the pawns out" he explains. He says that with Kane out of the way after Elimination Chamber, Triple H will be in hi sights, whether he likes it or not. Renee asks him if he thinks it's wise to be tackling the Authority alone, but CM Punk says he's done everything by himself ever since he started, and it isn't going to change now. He vows to avenge the past year of his career that the Authority have ruined if it's the last thing he does. He walks away with those intense words lingering on the minds of the WWE Universe, and no doubt, the Authority.

----------------------------------

The Shield def. Christian, Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara; Dean Ambrose scored an impressive victory over Christian on SmackDown, but now he had some back-up in the form of the luchadores, Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara. However, with The Shield seemingly back on the same page, it was never going to end well for the fan-favourite trio. It was a Spear from Roman Reigns to Sin Cara that closed the match and gave The Shield another victory, in response to the Wyatt Family's dominating display earlier in the night.

The Shield looked stronger than ever, standing tall over their fallen opponents, but that's when the lights shut off and the atmosphere changed. When the lights returned, the Wyatt Family were stood outside the ring, looking in at The Shield with grins on their faces. The Shield wasted no time and jumped out of the ring to attack their rivals, but the lights shut off once again! When they returned a second time, the Wyatt Family were inside the ring and The Shield were outside it. The mind games were definitely in full force tonight on Raw, but The Shield were having none of it as they slid in the ring and continued to pursue the Wyatt Family. However, having gained the advantage of being in the ring first, the Wyatt Family unloaded on the Hounds of Justice, taking control. They eventually forced The Shield into retreat, proving that their mind games had worked. This six-man feud becomes crazier by the week, but only six days are left until they collide within the ropes.

----------------------------------

Naomi with Cameron def. Tamina Snuka with AJ Lee; Possibly the biggest threat to AJ's Divas Championship in recent memory, Naomi picks up another victory, this time over AJ's "muscle", Tamina. With the ever-popular Rear View, Naomi pins Tamina for the three count, gaining even more momentum going into her title opportunity this Sunday at Elimination Chamber.

The Funkadactyls celebrate the victory as AJ Lee hangs her head in disappointment. Tamina looks at her, knowing she has let her down but AJ just leaves. AJ scowls at Naomi in the ring before raising her title above her head and screaming "This is mine! It will always be mine!". She and Tamina leave, the Funkadactyls dancing in celebration.

----------------------------------

Backstage, Daniel Bryan is seen brushing his hair back, in preparation for the confrontation between the Elimination Chamber participants later tonight. Suddenly, the Director of Operations, Kane walks in to a fair amount of boos from the WWE Universe. Bryan gets prepared for the worst, but Kane tells him there's no need to be worried. "I'm not here to fight you, Daniel. I'm only here to inform you that maybe you took what I said on SmackDown too seriously" explains Kane. He says that he was only trying to help Daniel and stop him from building himself up, only to be let down all over again. "You've had a tough year, Daniel, and I'd hate to see you let down again when you don't win the Elimination Chamber Match". Bryan squares up to Kane (or as much as he can, anyway) and tells him that no matter what he, the Authority, or anyone else thinks, he will leave Elimination Chamber as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion because he knows that deep down it's his destiny. "I've missed out on opportunity after opportunity all because of the Authority, but this time, I promise, I will get what I deserve". The WWE Universe cheer as Kane chuckles. Bryan goes to leave the room but stops. "Oh, and one last thing - this Sunday - I hope CM Punk kicks your ass". The WWE Universe erupt as Kane's smirk is wiped clean off his face and it turns to anger.

----------------------------------

Speaking of CM Punk, he is shown walking down a corridor on his way to ringside, ready to compete against Alberto Del Rio in tonight's main event. That match is NEXT!

CM Punk def. Alberto Del Rio via Disqualification; These two know each other very well, having faced off countless times in the past. Both men were out to prove a point tonight - CM Punk wanting to send a message to Kane and the Authority, while Alberto Del Rio wanted to show Batista exactly what he is capable of. Back and forth they went, neither man gaining a clear advantage. CM Punk escaped a Cross Armbreaker, while Del Rio avoided the Go To Sleep. It was neck-and-neck for most of the match. That was until Kane reared his ugly head and came to ringside, hopping onto the ring apron to distract CM Punk. Del Rio tried to capitalise, but Punk caught him with a huge Roundhouse Kick and as Kane dropped off the apron, Punk gave chase. Kane retreated but Punk aught him and the two began to brawl, ending the match in the disqualification.

Punk and Kane brawled into the crowd, Kane trying to retreat from Punk's furious onslaught. Del Rio got to his feet, holding his head, not even realising the match was over. But he soon came to his sense when the theme of Batista hit and the WWE Universe erupted. Del Rio's eyes widened as he saw the Animal charging to the ring! He tried to prepare himself, but as soon as Batista slid under the ropes, he popped up and drilled Del Rio with a huge spear! Batista screamed as the crowd cheered him on, Del Rio holding his ribs in pain. Batista was getting his revenge from last week's assault. He picked Del Rio up and then proceeded to plant him in the center of the ring with an enormous Batista Bomb! That is the intensity Del Rio will have to deal with this Sunday. Batista climbs the turnbuckle and raises his hands, making it clear that he was ready for Elimination Chamber, and ready to go to WrestleMania.

----------------------------------

We are reminded that up next, the six Elimination Chamber participants will confront each other just six days before they clash inside the structure. What will each of these men have to say?

The theme of Randy Orton hits, the WWE Universe throwing plenty of boos his way as he makes his way to the ring, each title belt slung over his shoulder without a care in the world. As he enters the ring, he puts both titles on one shoulder and grabs a microphone. "This Sunday, five guys will try their hand at taking this WWE World Heavyweight Championship away from me - all of them will fail" he declares. He says that regardless of what anyone thinks, he is guaranteeing victory inside the Chamber, and he will prove to the Authority that he is the right choice for the face of the WWE. The theme of John Cena is the next to hit as the crowd erupt. Cena makes his way to the ring and confronts Orton face-to-face. "Me and you have plenty of history, Randy, but this Sunday, there'll be four other guys involved" Cena explains. But he says that he isn't going to walk away empty handed like the last two times they have fought, and has every intention of winning the Elimination Chamber Match and going on to WrestleMania as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Up next, the theme of Sheamus plays and out comes the Celtic Warrior. Sheamus looks at two of his five opponents on Sunday and says that he hasn't been the World Champion since 2012 and he plans to change that going into WrestleMania XXX. He reminds us all that he has beaten four of the five opponents in the match in World Championship Matches in the past. Randy Orton tells Sheamus that last year, he cost Orton a WrestleMania victory when he couldn't back him up against The Shield. He says that he won't let Sheamus ruin another WrestleMania. The theme of the Big Show sounds next as the giant makes his way to the ring. He says that the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is something that everyone is after, and he plans to grab the opportunity with both hands. He says that while revenge on Brock Lesnar is on his priority list, they are all eligible for a Knockout Punch and he will do whatever it takes to leave the Chamber as Champion. Big Show is interrupted by the theme of Daniel Bryan however, as the WWE Universe erupted, Bryan hopping to the ring chanting "Yes!". Upon entering the ring, he begins to speak. "This opportunity is something I've waited for for a long time. There will be no Authority, no Shield, no Wyatt Family, it'll just be us six locked inside a steel Chamber" he explains, and continues to say how he will savour the moment that he has a fresh opportunity with no catches. Daniel Bryan repeats what he said to Kane earlier tonight, saying that he will get what he deserves. John Cena steps forward and says to Bryan that he knows Daniel Bryan wants this from the bottom of his very soul, but he can't allow Bryan to take this chance away from him. Orton steps in afterwards and says that there is no "opportunity" or "chance" for any of them, because it is only going to end one way - with him still WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Sheamus and Big Show are about to give their opinion, but that's when the theme of Brock Lesnar hits...

The atmosphere changes drastically as Brock Lesnar stomps out onto the stage, followed by the dastardly Paul Heyman. The five men in the ring suddenly prepare themselves for a fight, knowing exactly what Lesnar is capable of. He and Heyman slowly approach the ring apron and Lesnar sadistically grins, looking at his five opponents in this Sunday's Elimination Chamber Match. Suddenly, his grin turns to a stern expression and he slides into the ring. He immediately targets down the Big Show, tackling him into a corner. Orton, Sheamus, Cena and Bryan back off and practically watch the assault unfold. Cena, Sheamus and Bryan eventually decide to step in and try dragging Lesnar away, but Lesnar turn his attack on them, dropping Bryan with a clothesline and then shoving Sheamus to the canvas before throwing Cena through the ropes. The WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton slithers his way out of the ring, wanting no part of the violence. Lesnar grabs Bryan by his hair, but Bryan fights back as the WWE Universe erupt, kicking Lesnar repeatedly, sending him reeling. Suddenly, Big Show bursts out of the corner - Spear to Lesnar! He takes the monster down to the canvas, the WWE Universe cheering as he does. But then out of nowhere - Brogue Kick! Sheamus drills Big Show and drops him to the canvas! Sheamus taunts to the crowd, more cheers pouring in, but not for long as John Cena enters the ring and lifts Sheamus onto his shoulders - Attitude Adjustment! With Cena standing tall, he raises his hands in the air, but as he turns around - Busaiku Knee! The crowd become deafening as Bryan lays out Cena, jumping to his feet and chanting "Yes!" as loud as he can, clearly the fans favourite to win the match. But suddenly - RKO! Randy Orton returns to ring, and after attempts over the past week, Randy Orton finally catches Daniel Bryan with an RKO! The WWE Universe boos as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion stands over the carnage. But he stops in his tracks as Brock Lesnar gets back into the ring. Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar share a disturbing stare before Orton backs out of the ring, grabbing his titles and leaving up the ramp, Lesnar stood in the center of the ring looking directly at him. Raw fades to a close as Brock Lesnar stands tall over Cena, Sheamus, Show and Bryan, looking up the ramp at a retreating Randy Orton. Elimination Chamber is this Sunday!

[tg11]

I am just looking forward to your Elimination Chamber pay per view but I guess in a way I am just excited to see where you take your Road to WrestleMania 30 but also hoping Hogan returns in your diary but also that The Undertaker makes his return too because it will be interesting to see who you have Taker face, probably Sting maybe but if not him then it will probably be Lesnar or Sheamus

CM Punk vs Triple H is bound to happen at Mania but as for Batista's heel turn I see it happening soon enough
