A New Age Is Upon Us - WWE '13 Universe Mode

Ten years ago, the WWE was at a point where it was unstoppable. World Championship Wrestling was purchased by Vincent K. McMahon, Extreme Championship Wrestling had been absorbed by the company, and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling was 1 year old. Now, World Wrestling Entertainment is still at the top in terms of professional wrestling, but federations like TNA, Ring of Honor, and New Japan Pro Wrestling have begun making pushes towards being legitimate threats to the WWE's crown.

In recent years, the WWE has gone through a transition into a "PG Era," where the product has been watered down to more of a family friendly television show. Many hardcore fans have been very negative about this transition, and long for an edgier product. They may finally get their wish, after Vince McMahon's shocking statement after last night's show, Wrestlemania.

"We know about the other promotions that are making big strides towards being legitimate competition, and they're pushing 'Attitude Era'-like shows. I feel that right now, we have the best collection of talent that we've ever had here in the WWE, but we've had a tough time utilizing everybody. From now on, the product is going to be edgier. We're going to be bringing back ECW this week as a third brand, and we'll finally split our roster once again into three portions: Raw, Smackdown, and ECW. Tune in tomorrow for more details."

Re: A New Age Is Upon Us - WWE '13 Universe Mode

RAW LOGO.png

Match Card:

Match #1:
One on One
Bray Wyatt (w/Luke Harper) VS Sin Cara

Spoiler

As the WWE awaited Bray Wyatt's much anticipated in-ring debut, Sin Cara began making his way to the ring. However, before he got to the ring, he was ambushed by Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, Bray Wyatt's "brothers." Once they rolled Sin Cara into the ring, the lights went out and the ominous music began playing. As Bray Wyatt slowly made his way to the ring, Sin Cara was still warding off the injuries suffered from the attack. Wyatt dominated the match-up, and once he hit his spinning reverse STO, it was game over.

Winner: Bray Wyatt via pinfall

Match #2:
One on One
Kofi Kingston VS The Miz

Spoiler

It was pretty apparent who the WWE Universe was behind in this one, as "Let's Go Kofi" and "Miz Sucks" chants rang all throughout the arena. But once the match started, The Miz dominated Kofi, keeping the high-flyer grounded. Once Kofi began to get some momentum, the action was back-and-forth all the way to the finish. After the Miz dropped Kofi with a DDT, Kingston was busted wide open, and then Miz acted like a shark that could smell blood in the water, as he went straight to the Skull Crushing Finale, picking up the win.

Winner: The Miz via pinfall

Match #3:
One on One
Brie Bella (w/Nikki Bella) VS Kaitlyn

Spoiler

Kaitlyn came out ready to win, as she took it to Brie Bella right from the get-go. However, a distraction from Brie's twin sister, Nikki, allowed Brie to get some momentum as she began to fight off Kaitlyn's relentless attacks. The action spilled outside, where Kaitlyn got the upper hand again, and once the action moved back into the ring, Kaitlyn began chaining together some good power moves. However, another distraction from Nikki allowed Brie to hit a sit-down facebuster, as she pulled off the upset on the former Diva's champion.

Winner: Brie Bella via pinfall

Match #4:
Six-Man Tag Team
Kane, Big Show, and CM Punk VS The Shield

Spoiler

The Shield certainly had their work cut out for them tonight, as they were taking on 3 former world champions in tag team action tonight. The Shield, who hold every Raw title except for the WWE Championship, had a game plan to try and isolate the Big Red Machine, Kane, from his team. Kane and Big Show, however, had other ideas, as they displayed their great teamwork with a double-team. The match was nearly over early, as Big Show planted Ambrose with a chokeslam, but Rollins was able to breakup the pin attempt. Show, Kane, and Punk kept Ambrose away from his dangerous teammates, and the gameplan was working flawlessly, until Ambrose managed to tag in Reigns. Reigns was able to ground the Big Show, and the Shield went to work on the fallen giant. But then, suddenly, Seth Rollins attacked Roman Reigns!! Reigns was able to tag in Ambrose, but Ambrose was the victim to a Big Show chokeslam, as Show, Kane, and Punk picked up the victory.

But what does this mean for the Shield? Is Seth Rollins out of the group? Rollins and Reigns still hold the tag titles, though.

Winners: Big Show, Kane, and CM Punk via pinfall

Main Event:
One on One
John Cena VS Chris Jericho

Spoiler

The crowd was split on this one, as Y2J Chris Jericho took on the WWE Champion, John Cena. Cena got off to a hot start, as he was able to hit Jericho with just about everything in his arsenal, but he couldn't yet put him away. However, Y2J began to get some momentum going, and it looked as if Cena was going to get upset by the veteran. However, Cena began to string together a combination of moves that resulted in a Five-Knuckle Shuffle getting hit on Jericho. Cena then was able to hit an Attitude Adjustment on Jericho, and he picked up the victory over the former world champion.

Winner: John Cena via pinfall

Raw Highlights:

Spoiler

- Bray Wyatt wins debut match
- The Miz knocks off Kofi Kingston
- Brie Bella upsets Kaitlyn
- Seth Rollins turns on the Shield
- Cena wins again

Match of the Night: Kofi Kingston VS the Miz

Re: A New Age Is Upon Us - WWE '13 Universe Mode

Nice first show. It'll be interesting to see how the young guys do against the established veterans. I'm also curious to see who'll eventually knock off Super Cena

[JazzMan]

Re: A New Age Is Upon Us - WWE '13 Universe Mode

ECW_Logo.png

Match Card:

Match #1:
Tag Team
The Madness (Ohno and Morrison) VS David Otunga and Ted DiBiase

Spoiler

The newly formed tag team of NXT call-up Kassius Ohno and the returning John Morrison found themselves in action early, as the team of David Otunga and Ted DiBiase challenged them to a match to open the show. The Madness, as Ohno and Morrison like to call themselves, used their flashy offense to stun Otunga and DiBiase. As Otunga distracted the referee, Ohno hit DiBiase with a running knee, and Morrison took advantage, hitting the Starship Pain to pick up the victory. Will Ohno and Morrison be able to find gold in their future?

Winners: The Madness via pinfall

Match #2:
One on One
Justin Gabriel VS Drew McIntyre

Spoiler

The ECW World Television Champion Justin Gabriel issued an open challenge to anybody in the back, as he claimed that he would fight anybody, as he's trying to prove to be a fighting champion. Surprisingly answering the call was former 3MB member, Drew McIntyre. McIntyre has ditched the leather pants, the rock 'n' roll bandannas, and the eyeliner as he's trying to get his career back on track. After a relatively back-and-forth match, Justin Gabriel ascended the top turnbuckle to perhaps go for his patented 450 Splash, but McIntyre had other ideas. Drew climbed the turnbuckle as well and superplexed Gabriel to the canvas, and he finished the Television Champion off with the Future Shock DDT. With a win over the TV Champion, expect Drew McIntyre to begin ascending the ECW ranks.

Winner: Drew McIntyre via pinfall

Match #3:
One on One
The Great Khali (w/Muhammad Hassan) VS Yoshi Tatsu

Spoiler

After getting recruited by Muhammad Hassan and Jinder Mahal, The Great Khali has been dominant once again, as he's been targeting multiple ECW superstars. Tonight, he was set to take on the Japanese superstar, Yoshi Tatsu. In what seemed to be a mismatch, Khali was dominating Tatsu, but out of nowhere, Hassan planted a chair shot right on Yoshi's skull, getting Khali disqualified, though he hardly cared. Khali then hoisted Tatsu up for a devastating two-handed chokeslam.

Winner: Yoshi Tatsu via disqualification

Match #4:
Extreme Rules One on One
Evan Bourne VS Fandango

Spoiler

Evan Bourne made a shocking return earlier tonight, as Fandango was in the ring bragging about his Wrestlemania victory over Chris Jericho. Bourne challenged Fandango to an Extreme Rules match, and after much hesitation, Fandango accepted.

After Fandango's grand entrance, Bourne wasted little time getting to the ring, and the two began duking it out. Fandango was in charge of the matchup throughout the beginning, as he kept the high-flyer in check with some vicious attacks in the corner. However, once the action spilled outside, Bourne took a championship belt from an audience member and began striking Fandango with it. Fandango was only able to stop the onslaught by stealing a fan's drink and throwing it in Bourne's face. After the drink toss, Fandango introduced a sledge hammer into the match, but was unable to connect. Bourne then planted Fandango with a DDT on the announce table, crushing the broadcast table in the process.

Fandango recovered, and he ended up busting Bourne open with a steel chair. As the blood began pouring down Bourne's face, Fandango grabbed a ladder and began knocking Bourne senseless with it. The action finally moved back into the ring, and Fandango hit a reverse STO on Bourne to pick up the astonishing victory. What a match!

Winner: Fandango via pinfall

Main Event:
One on One
Tensai VS Rob Van Dam

Spoiler

ECW World Heavyweight Champion Rob Van Dam was scheduled to take on the dangerous Tensai in one on one competition, but the match never officially got underway, as a shocking interference ended the match prematurely. Before the bell rang, the ever-hungry Ryback stormed the ring and Shell Shocked both competitors, and the referee was forced to end the match in a no-contest. Does Van Dam now have a target on his back?

Result: No-Contest

ECW Highlights:

Spoiler

Morrison and Ohno get first tag team win
McIntyre returns to his old-self and defeats Gabriel
Hassan and Khali took out Tatsu
Fandango defeated Bourne in an Extreme Rules Match
Ryback attacked Rob Van Dam and Tensai

Match of the Night: Fandango VS Evan Bourne - Extreme Rules Match

Smackdown-logo.png

Match Card:

Match #1:
One on One
Curtis Axel (w/Paul Heyman) VS Santino Marella

Spoiler

As Smackdown began broadcasting, Curtis Axel and his representative Paul Heyman made their way to the ring. As Paul Heyman began going off about the success of all of his clients, including the Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel, Santino Marella made his way to the ring to challenge Axel. Heyman and Axel laughed at Santino and accepted his challenge.

As the bell sounded, Santino inadvertently knocked out the referee, and then suddenly, Cody Rhodes made his way to the ring. Rhodes stunned the WWE Universe as he delivered a Cross Rhodes to Axel, and woke up the referee as Santino was pinning him, costing Axel the match. Is Cody Rhodes targeting Axel and the Intercontinental Championship?

Winner: Santino via pinfall

Match #2:
Tag Team
Prime Time Players VS The Usos

Spoiler

In a rematch from last night's tag team match on Superstars, the Usos were set to take on the Prime Time Players once again, this time hoping to get the victory. The WWE Tag Team Champions were upset by the Prime Time Players last night on Superstars, and challenged them to a match tonight.

The Usos were relatively dominant at the start of the match, as Darren Young was isolated from his large partner, Titus O'Neil. O'Neil decided to enter the ring and attack Jimmy, which allowed Young to tag O'Neil in. O'Neil went to work on both of the Uso's. After the Prime Time Players hit the Ghetto Blaster on Jey Uso, they were able to get the pinfall again against the champions. Do the Prime Time Players deserve a title shot?

Winner: Prime Time Players via pinfall

Match #3:
One on One
Kelly Kelly VS Eve

Spoiler

The Divas Champion was challenged backstage to a one on one match by Kelly Kelly, in which Eve actually didn't initially accept. But after more taunting by Kelly Kelly, Eve reluctantly accepted. Eve was able to hit a standing moonsault early, but was unable to get the 3-count. After a devestating super kick by Kelly Kelly, she went for a K2, but Eve countered out of it. This led to a stink face in the corner by Kelly, which set up a K2 for the victory for Kelly.

Winner: Kelly Kelly via pinfall

Match #4:
Tag Team
Wade Barrett & Damien Sandow VS Christian & Goldust

Spoiler

Both Wade Barrett & Damien Sandow came into this one looking to pick up a victory that would help them rise in the Smackdown ranks, but that had to go up against two tough competitors in Christian and Goldust. With Sandow and Christian starting the match off, Sandow got the early advantage and tagged in Wade Barrett. The Bare-Knuckle Brawler took it to Christian, not allowing Captain Charisma to tag in the fresh Goldust. When Goldust was finally tagged in, Barrett and Sandow used excellent teamwork to break him down. Goldust began fighting back, as he even hit Barrett with a superplex from the top rope, but Sandow and Barrett once again used solid teamwork to take down the strange superstar.

Goldust was able to tag in Christian, who took out both Barrett and Sandow, but Barrett was able to stop Christian's momentum, while at the same time busting him wide open. Barrett and Christian were able to tag in Sandow and Goldust, and after Sandow controlled Goldust, he tagged Barrett back in. Barrett wasn't paying much attention, and he was rolled up by Goldust, as Christian and Goldust got the victory.

Winner: Christian & Goldust via pinfall

Main Event:
One on One
Sheamus VS Mark Henry
Special Guest Referee: Alberto Del Rio

Spoiler

Sheamus and Mark Henry were arguing earlier on Smackdown, and General Manager Booker T scheduled a match between the 2 for the main event. He then announced that the match would have a special guest referee, World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio has had problems with both of these hulking superstars in the past, but will he call it down the middle?

As Henry and Sheamus were battling on, Del Rio was taunting an getting in the face of both competitors. Finally, Sheamus had enough, as he pushed Del Rio into the corner. Del Rio quickly ended the match with a disqualification as he ran out of the ring and headed to the back, trying to avoid the wrath of Sheamus. Mark Henry then planted a distracted Sheamus with a World's Strongest Slam as Smackdown went off the air.

Winner: Mark Henry via disqualification

Smackdown Highlights:

Spoiler

Cody Rhodes costing Curtis Axel
Prime Time Players beat Usos again

RAW LOGO.png

Match Card:

Match #1:
Tag Team
The Shield (Rollins & Reigns) VS Kane & Big Show

Spoiler

Last week on Raw, Seth Rollins attacked Roman Reigns during their 6-man tag team match and left the arena, but is their relationship patched up now? The reigning World Tag Team Champions are definitely gonna have to be focused in order to take out Kane & Big Show in tag team action tonight.

Kane & Rollins started the match off, and Rollins was actually able to keep the Big Red Monster in check. Rollins and Reigns seemed to shake off any sort of problems that they have, at least temporarily, as they worked well together against the two hulking big men. Rollins and Reigns were able to keep the World's Largest Athlete, the Big Show, down on the ground for a long while, as they just continued to attack his lower base. However, Big Show came back, and as it looked as if Show was looking for a chokeslam on Reigns, Reigns countered and tagged in Rollins. Rollins and Reigns were able to hit a solid double team on Big Show that nearly ended the matchup, but Show was able to tag in Kane, who was all fired up. As soon as Kane came in, Reigns was tagged in as well, but Kane hit a devestating powerbomb on Reigns that nearly got the win.

The action spilled outside, and the ever dangerous Shield once again got the advantage. And then, in an insane moment, Roman Reigns speared the Big Red Machine through the ringside barricade! Seth Rollins picked up the mess and threw Kane back into the ring to Reigns. Kane was able to make a tag to Big Show, who planted Reigns with a chokeslam to pick up the victory. With a 2nd straight victory over the Shield, are Kane & Big Show in line for a title shot against the Shield? And will the Shield be able to fix their chemistry after Rollins' attack on Reigns last week?

Winner: Kane & Big Show via pinfall

Match #2:
One on One
Layla VS A.J. Lee

Spoiler

The Women's Champion A.J. Lee is set to square off against one of Kaitlyn's best friends, Layla. After Layla was able to get the upper-hand on A.J., A.J. left the ring, and as Layla was chasing after her, she turned around and planted Layla with a kick to the jaw. After throwing Layla back into the ring, A.J. delivered another kick, and slapped on the Black Widow to force Layla to tap out.

Winner: A.J. Lee via submission

Match #3:
One on One
Rey Mysterio VS Luke Harper (w/Bray Wyatt)

Spoiler

After interfering in Mysterio's match on Heat against Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper was challenged by Rey Mysterio to a one on one match on Raw. Harper accepted, and took on the former World Champion with his "brother" Bray Wyatt in his corner. Harper dominated most of the match, and although Rey was nearly able to pull off the victory, Harper was able to plant Rey with a swinging sidewalk slam to put the Masked Superstar away for the victory.

Winner: Luke Harper via pinfall

Match #4:
WWE United States Championship
6-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal
(c)Dean Ambrose VS Big E. Langston VS Dolph Ziggler VS The Miz VS Kofi Kingston VS CM Punk

Spoiler

Raw General Manager Brad Maddox created this matchup earlier tonight, as Dean Ambrose claimed that he would fight anybody to defend his United States Championship. Maddox put that claim to the test as he made a 6-man over the top rope battle royal for the gold. In the match are 3 former World Champions and multiple United States Champions, so it's going to be a tough battle for Ambrose.

Right from the get-go, CM Punk gunned for Dean Ambrose. Punk defeated Ambrose on Saturday on Heat, and he'd love to add another title to his accolades with the U.S. Championship. However, as the action began to get more and more out of control, it was Ambrose who eliminated the first man, as he kicked The Miz to the curb. And then, Ambrose teamed up with Kofi Kingston to throw Dolph Ziggler out of the matchup while Punk and Langston battled in the corner. Right after teaming up with Kingston, Ambrose chucked Kofi out of the ring, ending their brief alliance.

The final 3 were Ambrose, Punk, and Langston. As Punk and Langston battled on, Ambrose tried to keep himself out of the action until one was eliminated. However, as both Punk and Ambrose realized that Langston is the arguably the biggest threat in this type of matchup due to his size, they reluctantly teamed up to throw him out of the match. As just Punk and Ambrose remained, the WWE Universe went nuts, as two of the greatest independent wrestling stars were the only ones left in the Battle Royal. As the two continued to battle on, Punk went for a GTS, but Ambrose reversed it and tried to throw Punk over the top, but Punk held onto the top rope and pulled himself back in. Ambrose went for his reverse snapmare, but Punk reversed it and clotheslined Ambrose over the top rope to win the United States Championship!

Winner and new WWE United States Champion: CM Punk

Main Event:
#1 Contender's Match for WWE Championship
One on One
Randy Orton VS Daniel Bryan

Spoiler

After Randy Orton turned on his back on the fans, he's reverted back to his old theme song and his old, brash attitude. But tonight he's facing a very, very tough competitor in Daniel Bryan in a match to become the Number One Contender for the WWE Championship.

Bryan wasted little time as he went right after the Viper, but with Orton's experience, the action moved back and forth. As Orton and Bryan exchanged blows, it was easy to tell who the WWE Universe was behind in this matchup, as Yes! chants were blaring all throughout the arena. As Orton began to get the advantage, he went to work on the Submission Specialist with submissions, ironically. Of course, they didn't work as Bryan claims to know a counter to nearly every hold, and he did at least for the submissions that Orton applied.

Daniel Bryan finally began to muster some offense against the Viper, and once he had the Apex Predator down, he went right for a Flying Headbutt, but Orton caught him with an RKO in midair! As Orton took his time to make the cover, Bryan seemingly recovered and kicked out at 2. The action soon spilled outside, where Bryan got busted open from the ringpost. With the blood pouring down Daniel Bryan's face, Orton rolled him back into the ring. However, Bryan was able to roll Orton up for a pin, but the two kept switching positions in the small package as neither were able to put the other away for a 3 count. After Orton kicked out of the final small package, he hit an RKO on Bryan right as both of them were getting up. This time he wasted no time to cover Bryan, as Orton picked up the victory and the right to face Cena for the WWE Championship at Badd Blood.

Winner and new number one contender for the WWE Championship:
Randy Orton via pinfall

Raw Highlights:

Spoiler

Big Show and Kane beating the Shield again
A.J. Lee picking up another victory
Luke Harper dominated Rey Mysterio as Bray Wyatt watched on
CM Punk became the new United States Champion at Dean Ambrose's expense
Randy Orton defeated Daniel Bryan for the right to face Cena at Badd Blood

Re: A New Age Is Upon Us - WWE '13 Universe Mode

ECW_Logo.png

Match Card:

Match #1:
One on One
Justin Gabriel VS David Otunga

Spoiler

The ECW Television Champion Justin Gabriel is set for one on one action after losing to Drew McIntyre last week on ECW. Gabriel is looking to pick up a bit of steam after he's had a bit of a slump as of late. Otunga, on the other hand, has been teaming with Ted DiBiase Jr. recently, but even that has not translated to much success for Otunga.

Gabriel started the match off with a series of fierce kicks to Otunga's legs and midsection, but lost momentum after Otunga rolled out of the way from a springboard splash. Otunga then kept the South African grounded with a heavy assault to his midsection and head. After the action spilled to the outside, Gabriel regained the advantage with a swift superkick to the jaw, but he failed to get the win after rolling him into the ring and pinning him. After Otunga recovered, Gabriel hit Otunga with a spinout powerbomb and ascended the top rope for the most exciting move in sports entertainment, the 450 Splash. The cameras began to flash as Gabriel sat on the top rope, and once he jumped, the WWE Universe knew that it was over after an awesome 450 Splash from Justin Gabriel.

Winner: Justin Gabriel via pinfall

Match #2:
6-Man Tag Team
The Union (Khali, Hassan, Mahal) VS Brodus Clay & The Madness (Ohno & Morrison)

Spoiler

The ECW World Tag Team Champions Jinder Mahal and Muhammad Hassan were able to convince General Manager Mick Foley to make their tag team match against the Madness a 6-Man Tag Team Match, with their heavy The Great Khali in their corner. But Foley decided to even the playing field, as he let the Madness choose their partner, who turned out to be the Funkasaurus, Brodus Clay.

The match started with the two big men in the ring for both teams, but things quickly got out of hand as each side began attacking the legal men. After the action settled down, Khali got the advantage for the Union, as he showed he is the most dominant superstar in this match. However, both Khali and Clay made tags at the same time, with Hassan and Ohno entering the fray. Hassan got the early advantage and went to work on the rookie. Hassan then tagged in Mahal, who busted open Ohno with a few knees to the forehead. Ohno found a way to his corner and tagged back in the Funkasaurus, but Mahal quickly grounded him and sent him to the outside, where the Union went to work on him. And then, out of nowhere, the Great Khali picked up Brodus Clay and slammed him through the ringside barricade!

After Hassan threw Clay's carcass back into the ring, Mahal went for the cover, but Ohno broke it up, knocking down Mahal in the process. Clay then tagged in the fresh John Morrison, who utilized his speed and experience to regain the advantage for his team. Morrison hit Mahal with a facebuster and busted Mahal wide open! However, after interference from Hassan, Mahal busted open Morrison. Morrison was able to make a tag to Brodus Clay, but after The Great Khali put Clay in the Vice Grip, Mahal was able to pin Clay and win the match for the Union.

Winner: The Union via pinfall

Match #3:
One on One
Evan Bourne VS Drew McIntyre

Spoiler

After defeating the ECW World Television Champion last week, McIntyre could be in line for a title shot if he's able to knock off the high-flying Evan Bourne tonight as well.

In a relatively back-and-forth match, McIntyre and Bourne traded blows in their contrasting styles. McIntyre, a little more of a powerhouse than a high flyer, was hitting Bourne with tons of suplexes and strikes, while Bourne was flying around and kicking McIntyre from every possible angle. McIntyre was able to ground Bourne with a series of submissions, but Bourne stuck with it and fought out of them. Frustrated by Bourne's perseverance, McIntyre left the ring and went to the outside, but Bourne followed and threw McIntyre face-first into the steel ring post. However, after the action moved back inside, McIntyre regained the advantage with some more tough submissions on the high flyer.

McIntyre hit some more fierce suplexes, but Bourne was able to hit a hurricanrana on McIntyre. With McIntyre in the middle of the ring, Bourne climbed to the top rope and hit the Air Bourne on McIntyre to pick up the win.

Winner: Evan Bourne via pinfall

Match #4:

After defeating Evan Bourne last week in an Extreme Rules match and winning a Fatal 4 Way match on NXT, Fandango has all sorts of momentum coming into tonight. Before the match, he criticized his opponent's dance style, calling it, "hideous and shameful to the art of dance."

Before the match started, Fandango went for a clothesline on Scotty but inadvertently hit the referee, knocking the ref out. Fandango then suplexed Scotty, went to the outside and grabbed a chair, and hit Scotty across the face with it, busting him wide open. He quickly threw the chair to the outside before the ref recovered, and with Scotty out cold and bleeding, he climbed the top rope and hit his flying leg drop to pick up the victory.

Winner: Fandango via pinfall

Main Event:
One on One
Tensai VS Ryback

Spoiler

After interrupting last week's main event between ECW Champion Rob Van Dam and Tensai, Ryback was thrown into a match against a very angry Tensai.

Midway through the match, Rob Van Dam sprinted into the ring with a steel chair and whacked both competitors across the head with it, ending the match in a double disqualification. It's clear that Van Dam wanted revenge on Ryback, but did he step out of line by attacking Tensai too?

Result: Draw
