August Week 4

To use a CAW or to not use a CAW..that is the question.

Raw
Match 1. Ziggler vs. Michaels  #1 Contender's match
The winner will face Orton for the US Title at my next mystery PPV. I wouldn't mind seeing HBK vs. Orton II, but Orton and Ziggler isn't so bad either. Looks like HBK will get his rematch after connecting with Sweet Chin Music.

Match 2. Foley vs. Clay
Brodus won last week in a very wild match. He's not one half of the tag champs for nothing. He continued the beating from last week. Clay won again with his finisher.

Match 3. CM Punk vs. Kane
Kane lost to Batista last week. This week he takes on another former champ in Punk. Kane looked like he wanted to take out his anger on Punk. Kane hit the huge chokeslam on CM Punk to win.

Main Event. Cena vs. Batista
Current champ vs. former champ. There are still 4 weeks until the next PPV, so things could get interesting. It was a Cena-heavy match. Cena hit the AA on Batista to win.

After the match, Rey and Brodus hit the ring. Rey grabbed a chair and all three men began assaulting Batista.

Smackdown

Match 1. Barrett vs. Sheamus  #1 Contender's match
The winner will take on Bryan for the IC Title in 4 weeks. We were so close to seeing a new champ last PPV during the triple threat match, but Bryan snuck the Lebell Lock to win. Kidd was at ringside to help out Sheamus. He couldn't do anything about Wade hitting Wasteland on Sheamus.

Match 2. Bryan vs. Morrison
Looks like JoMo needed to move away from Taker. Bryan can't catch a break. No matter who he faces, they're always one step ahead. JoMo falls victim to the Lebell Lock. Bryan is on fire right now.

Match 3. Taker vs. Husky
Interesting match with two different styles. Harris is holding his own against The Deadman. A win over Taker could launch Harris into permanent contendership for the World Title. Alas, that will not be happening because Taker hit the Tombstone.

After the match, Edge assaulted Taker with a lead pipe.

Main Event. Show vs. Edge
After attacking the Deadman, Edge now must face the champ. Big Show was using all of his 500-pound body to make sure he wins. Big Show won with the knockout punch.

After the match, Sheamus, Kidd, and McIntyre were at the top of the ramp staring down Show.


Recap: We have HBK vs. Orton II and Barrett vs. Bryan lined up so far for the surprise PPV. There is a little over a month until I shake up the rosters a little bit. So Edge, Christian and Wade are going after Taker while Sheamus, Kidd and Drew are after Show. Nice.
