Yeah things are really shaping up nicely. SNME is good has some interesting things going on. The stage 3 matches will take place on RAW week 3...all of the matches are between guys who have not faced each other in the previous stages. The Stage 4 matches are going to be really good and should lead to really good MitB ladder match.

Re: Putting the "F" back in WWE.

SNME started out with a championship match as R-Truth defended the United States Championship against former champion Drew Galloway. The two men locked up and Galloway showed some strength shoving Truth to the mat. Truth got up and the match ended up outside the ring momentarily.. Back in the ring Galloway hit a huge powerslam and then picked Truth up and whipped him over the top rope. Truth landed on the ring apron and Galloway hit a stunner over the top rope sending Truth flying to the ground. Galloway followed him out and whipped him back into the ring. Back in the ring the two men exchanged holds and Truth was able to hit a snap powerslam and then lock in a camel clutch. The teo men fought back and for several minutes but in the end Truth hit a sitout facebuster followed by a jumping scissor kick for the win to retain the title.

The next match of the night featured the stage 2 winners (John Morrison, The Miz, Mark Henry, and Triple H) facing off in what was essentially a rankings match. The winner of this match would actually face off with the person they pin in Stage 4. The other two men would face off. During the match it looked like everyone was trying to avoid facing Mark Henry in singles action. Triple H quickly went after The Miz while Henry went after Morrison. Henry shoved Morrison aside after a dropkick attempt. Henry went after Triple H and tossed him to the mat while former tag partners Miz and Morrison faced off for awhile. Triple H took the boots to Henry while Miz took Morrison down. At some point a chair got brought into the ring. Triple H took Mark Henry down with a chop to the legs and then Miz down with a chest buster over his knees. Triple H hit Morrison with a spinebuster on the chair, which was still in the ring, but Miz broke up the fall, not wanting to face Henry. Miz and Triple H battled at that point. The finish came after Morrison took Miz down with the Moonlight Drive, Triple H took Morrison out with a pedigree, only to be picked up by Mark Henry who hit him with a World’s Strongest Slam. Henry stood up only to be kicked form behind by Miz, who had gotten back to hit feet, sending Henry flying out of the ring. Miz quickly covered Triple H for the pin, but at the same time setting up a match between the two in Stage 4.

The Main Event was match #2 in the 5 match series between Cesaro and Barrett. Barrett took Cesaro down early and this second match turned into more of a brawl. Cesaro connected with several uppercuts while Barrett hit Cesaro with several punches. The two men fought for several minutes and Barrett used some illegal tactics while Cesaro used a face rub in the mat at one point. Ceasro took control with a big suplex and jumping knee drop on Barrett’s face followed by a waist suplex pin. Barrett fought back with a kick to the gut and an elbow to the head. Cesaro hit another European Uppercut after pulling Barrett back from an Irish whip attempt. Cesaro hit several more suplexes then picked Barrett off the mat for a backbreaker toss for a 2 count. Cesaro was able to hit The Neutralizer to pick up the win and even the series at 1 match a piece. Cesaro also earned a non-title match on RAW against Bryan.

Re: Putting the "F" back in WWE.

Good show, every show is making me more and more excited for GAB!

R-Truth retained, nice.

Love the best of five series. Either guy would be great in the main event.

Re: Putting the "F" back in WWE.

Good show. I'm loving R-Truths emergence from nothing, hopefully he stays as a main mid-carder in your universe even after his 15 minutes are up.

Yeah he'll probably stick in the lower midcard for sure possibly moving up to IC at some point but we will see. His emergence has been shocking to say the least but he is definitely going to be up to some tough competition in his final MitB qualifying match as the stage 3 matches are full of some really top talent. I will be posting RAW after a little walk on the treadmill and you guys will love who has qualified out of Stage 3. Then they will have to have their seeding matches.

JULY WEEK 3

The show begins and Edge makes his way to the ring.

Edge: “Tonight we have a hell of a show in store for you. In tonight’s main event Daniel Bryan faces Cesaro in a non-title match. Also tonight the feud between the SHIELD and K.E.S. continues as Roman Reigns faces Davey Boy Smith Jr and after last week both Dean Ambrose and Lance Archer are banned from ringside. We also have our 4 Stage 3 Money in the Bank Ladder match qualifiers when Cody Rhodes, Shelton Benjamin, Seth Rollins, Jack Swagger, Alberto Del Rio, AJ Styles, Dolph Ziggler, and John Cena face off in singles matches for their final opportunity to make it to Stage 4 and the final qualifying matches. Lose tonight and there are no more chances.”

All 8 men made their way to the stage area.

Edge: “All of tonight’s matches will be random, but it is also guaranteed that the matches will not face anyone that they faced in Stage 1 or Stage 2. Let’s see what that first match-up will be.”

The randomizer comes up and the first competitor is Alberto Del Rio and he will face off with Cody Rhodes. The Mexican Aristocrat takes on the Dashing One. This was a big back and forth match between two men looking to make a big move up the ladder. The match ended after Rhodes hit the CrossRhodes for the win to advance to Stage 4.

Edge came back out to the stage

Edge: “Congratulations are in order to Cody Rhodes on advancing to Stage 4. Now let’s bring our other 6 competitors out to the ring and see who will face off next.”

The final 6 men come back out to the stage and the randomizer comes up with the next match.

The first man that comes up is AJ Styles who makes his way to the ring. His opponent was Jack Swagger. This was a matchup of contrasting styles (no pun intended) as Swagger used his ground game while AJ used his high flying skills. During the match the fans were actually beginning to cheer Styles. Some highlights were Swagger hitting an arm DDT. Styles hitting a standing moonsault. Styles hitting a big clothesline sending Swagger flying out of the ring and then an over the top rope plancha. Styles ended up winning after hitting the Styles Clash to advance to stage 4.

Edge makes his way back out from the back

Edge: “Congratulations to AJ Styles on advancing to Stage 8. Let’s bring our other 4 men to the stage to find out our final two matches.”

The final 4 come out and the final 2 Stage 3 matches are announced starting first with Dolph Ziggler facing Shelton Benjamin meaning that John Cena will take on Seth Rollins tonight as well.

In the third Stage 3 match, Intercontinental Champion, Dolph Ziggler faced off with Shelton Benjamin. This was a tough fought match between two fan favorites with both men pulling off some big moves. In the end Ziggler was able to hit a Fame-***-Er and then the Zig Zag for the win to advance to Stage 4.

In the final Stage 3 match the veteran, John Cena took on “The Future” Seth Rollins. This was a much closer match than most probably expected. Rollins held his own, hitting some big time moves on Cena taking it to him with a Reverse STO into the turnbuckle as well as several dropkicks. At one point Cena locked in the STF at one point but Rollins reached the ropes. Cena hit an AA on Rollins but he rolled out of the ring. As the ref was counting Rollins out Sheamus entered the ring and delivered a Brogue Kick on Cena knocking him out before leaving. Rollins re-entered the ring and covered Cena to pick up the win.

After the match Edge came out and said that the Triumvirate is sick and tired of all of this interference but the match will stand. On SNME though John Cena will take on Sheamus.
In the next match, Davey Boy Smith tried to fake a hand shake with Reigns but then kicked him in the stomach. With Reigns down to start Smith, Jr took the fight to Reigns. Reigns fought back in a battle of multi-generational stars. Reigns was able to hit the spear at one point but Smith kicked out. Smith gave Reigns a big over the head toss. Smith, Jr whipped Reigns into the corner and followed with a clothesline then hit him with a running powerslam for the win.

Before the match Black King Barrett made his way to the announcers table.

In the Main Event, World Champion, Daniel Bryan faced off with Cesaro in a non-title match and Cesaro took it to Bryan to begin. Cesaro sent Bryan into the corner with a strong Irish whip. Cesaro continued to beat down Bryan but Bryan reversed an Irish whip into the corner and followed with a running knee in the corner. Cesaro fought back and hit a big European Uppercut but Bryan fought back again. The two men fought back and forth for several minutes but Bryan took Cesaro down and deliver several kicks to Cesaro with the final one sending Cesaro out of the ring. As the ref counted Bryan walked towards the ropes. The ref backed Bryan from the ropes which allowed Barrett to hit the Bullhammer on Cesaro and toss him back in the ring. Back in the ring Bryan locked in the Yes Lock for the win.

Re: Putting the "F" back in WWE.

Truth, Galloway, Kane, Jericho, Miz, Morrison, Henry, HHH, Rhodes, Styles, Ziggler, and Rollins.

I wanna see Truth, Galloway, HHH, Henry, Rollins, and Styles be in it. With either Styles or Rollins winning it.

That would be an interesting group for sure. I'm not sure I'd be good with Truth winning though or if I'm ready to give Galloway a shot at winning the big belt. I'm not sure where I want to go with things either as far as well established guys, guys really ready to take the next step, or guys that I plan on pushing in the future

I really can't go wrong with most of those.

Great show. Loving the program between Cesaro & Barrett.

You're going to love what I have planned for them and this best of 5 series and then into the future of those two.

Re: Putting the "F" back in WWE.

The big problem I am having now is building up to Summer Slam without having some of my bigger feuds end BEFORE Summer Slam.


Its really tripping me up right now finalizing my booking for Money in the Bank because I really dont want to have too many PPV trilogy matches at Summer Slam but I also dont want to have too many brand new feuds. Its a fine line I'm treading right now. With me subbing this semester and both districts I sub for having Spring break in 2 weeks I could very well have MitB up by the weekend and Summer Slam done within 2 weeks since I will have nothing else to do that week.

It's funny, I'm running into a similar problem. The Rumble in mine is ending only one feud, and starting others that need to extend to Mania, but I made the decision to have 2 PPV's in-between The Rumble and Wrestlemania, and thats screwing me up.

Yeah I like the 2 PPVs between those. One of my big issues is the Orotn-Triple H feud. They have still yet to meet in a singles match at a PPV. First match was a Triple Threat also including Batista, second match was a 6-man which eliminated Evolution. With Triple H advancing to Stage 4 MitB it has left me in a very interesting position, but I have couple of ideas. I kind of want to end their feud at SSlam but I'm also not sure if I want it to be the ONLY PPV singles match of their feud.

I just came up with some interesting plans for Bryan-Cesaro-Barrett (also including one other guy) leading into and after Summer Slam.

This is the feud/buildup in most looking forward too. Like Bryan, love Barrett/Cesaro, and excited for a fourth contender to emerge.
