April Week 2, Year 4

The Raw card is very random. I hope it straightens out after the PPV.

Raw
Match 1. RVD and Christian vs. Jericho and Booker
RVD will join Smackdown once this feud is over. Jericho and Booker attacked RVD and Christian from behind on the ramp. Jericho locked RVD in the Walls of Jericho not even 2 minutes into the match. Booker busted RVD open with a float-over DDT. Jericho then hit a heel kick on Christian. He flipped him over and made him tap from the Walls.

After the match, Jericho hit Christian across the back with a chair.

Match 2. Rey vs. Big Show
The winner will join Orton in the 4-way match. Show was too much for Rey. Show hit the Final Cut and a Showstopper, but Rey wouldn't give up. A few minutes later, Show hit another Final Cut. After a flipping pump handle slam, Show got the win.

Match 3. Orton vs. Shelton
The current IC champ taking on former World/IC champ. Shelton had Orton in a single-leg Boston Crab, but Orton broke out and hit an RKO. Shelton recovered and hit a flying lariat and a t-bone suplex. After a stomp on the chest, Orton scored the victory.

Main Event. Boom Truth vs. Flair and Bourne
I have no idea why this is a remarkable match. Kofi and Truth were arguing before the bell rang. Mid-way, Truth walked away from the match. Bourne was in control for most of the match. He hit the Shooting Star Press, but Kofi kicked out. Kofi went for a suplex, but Bourne caught him in a roll-up and won.

Smackdown
Match 1. JBL vs. Triple H
JBL attacked HHH from behind while he was waiting in the ring. There was a cut-scene that showed JBL leaving the ring and heading up the ramp. Triple H left the ring and chased after him. Batista ran down while Triple H hit the Pedigree. Batista broke up the pin and left. Triple H went for another Pedigree, but JBL broke out and hit the Clothesline from Hell to win.

After the match, JBL grabbed a chair and hit Triple H a few times.

Match 2. Benoit vs. Mark Henry
Benoit was able to land a couple of suplexes before Henry's strength took over. Henry hit the World's Strongest Slam. A minute later, he made Benoit tap from a bearhug.

Match 3. John Cena vs. Mr. Kennedy
Kennedy attacked Cena from behind on the ramp. Kennedy hit the Mic Check very early. Cena hit a few right hands, but that was all the offense he would get in. Kennedy hit a suplex and then eventually another Mic Check to win.

After the match, Kennedy was about to leave the ring, but he turned around and continued attacking Cena.

Recap: R-Truth turned heel.

April Week 1, Year 4

The draft took place before Raw started. Each show received 5 picks. I will post them below. Raw has a couple of inter-brand matches.


Draft results: To Raw - Eddie, Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Morrison, and Edge
                    To Smackdown - RVD, Mark Henry, Chris Benoit, Triple H, and Batista


Raw
Match 1. RVD vs. Jericho and Booker
This was booked before RVD was drafted to Smackdown. Jericho landed a heel kick. He then went for a suplex, but RVD reversed it. Booker hit the scissors kick on Van Dam. After a double elbow to the chest, Booker got the win.

After the match, Booker grabbed a chair and handed it to Jericho. Christian was laying on the ground for some reason and RVD ran down to the ring and saved Christian. 

Match 2. Rey Mysterio vs. Evan Bourne
This is the debut for Bourne. Rey, despite his age, was able to fly all around the ring. He hit a crucifix on Bourne. After a back suplex, Rey connected with the 619 and won.

Match 3. Edge and Eddie vs. MVP and Kennedy
Another inter-brand match. Both teams kept their opponents isolated from their corner. Eddie hit the brainbuster on MVP. Eddie was all over MVP. He hit a swinging neck breaker. The match ended when MVP tapped from an abdominal stretch.

Main Event. Orton vs. Kane
This is one of the qualifiers for the vacant world title match at Extreme Rules. The winner will be entered into a 4-way at the PPV. Orton landed a back breaker and then stomped all over Kane. Kane fought back and landed the Tombstone. Orton somehow kicked out and connected with an RKO. Kane kicked out, but Orton hit his forearm across Kane's jaw and won.

Smackdown
Match 1. Michaels vs. Sheamus
The Heartbreak Kid landed a pile driver and a back suplex. He then flipped Sheamus around and made him tap from the Sharpshooter.

Match 2. Benoit vs. Angle
Both of these men are very technical wrestlers. Benoit locked Angle in the Crossface, but Angle broke out. JBL interfered and hit the Clothesline from Hell on Benoit. Angle then hit the three German suplexes. Benoit fought back and hit a back breaker. He then climbed the top rope and hit the diving headbutt to win.

Match 3. Undertaker vs. Mark Henry
Both men used their power to hurt the other man. Henry landed the World's Strongest Slam, but Taker sat right up. Henry lifted him for a military press. Henry then hit another WSS. Taker made a comeback by hitting  the Last Ride and Tombstone to win.

After the match, JBL attacked Taker from behind with a lead pipe.

Main Event. John Cena vs. JBL vs. Triple H  #1 Contender's Match
This was an excellent triple threat match. JBL hit a Clothesline from Hell on Cena, but Cena kicked out last minute. JBL then hit him with some right hands and Cena began bleeding. Triple H hit Cena was a couple of signature spine busters. Cena went for the AA on JBL, but Triple H broke it up and hit the Pedigree. The Game then clotheslined JBL and got the 3 count.

After the match, The Game checked on JBL's knee, but he received a low blow.

Recap: A lot of big names switched brands, including Raw's World Champ and one-half of the tag champs. As a result, they will be stripped on the titles. Um, what was up with the RVD cut-scene? Jericho turned on Christian and teamed with Booker. What is JBL's deal? He loves appearing all over Smackdown.

ELIMINATION CHAMBER, Year 4

The two Chamber matches are awesome. I like the Smackdown one more. The rest of the card is shit. Sorry for the language.

Match 1. Chamber - Taker vs. Kennedy vs. Cena vs. Edge vs. JBL vs. Angle  WWE Championship
Edge and JBL start the match off. Wait a minute, if there are 5 challengers in the match, why bother having a #1 contender's match? The first man to leave the pod was Angle. He waited in the corner while JBL and Edge went at it. Cena was the next to enter. He went right after JBL. The third man to enter was The Deadman. Kennedy finally entered and all six men began fighting. Taker was about to hit Angle with a Tombstone, but Kennedy broke it up. He hit it 30 seconds later and Angle was the first eliminated. JBL eliminated Cena. Taker hit JBL with a Last Ride and Tombstone to eliminate him. Edge eliminated Kennedy. Edge and Taker remain. Edge hit the spear from the top rope and almost won, but Taker kicked out. Edge went for the spear, but Taker sat up. He hit a Tombstone in the middle of the ring to retain.

Match 4. Big Show vs. Rey
I just want to see a big man/little man feud. It's just odd that Show is a face and Rey is heel. Rey tried his best to take down the big man, but to no avail. Show tossed him all over. He hit a Showstopper and forced Rey to tap out from a reverse chin lock.

Match 5. RVD vs. Chris Jericho and Christian  World Tag Team Championship
Even without Kane, RVD will defend the tag titles. Jericho and Christian tried their best to keep RVD down, but he wouldn't quit. RVD hit Christian in the back of the head with a kick. He then hit the 5-star Frog Splash and knocked him out.

After the match, Mark Henry checked on Jericho.

Main Event. Chamber - Henry vs. Triple H vs. Orton vs. Goldberg vs. Shelton vs. Regal
The first two participants were Shelton and Goldberg. The next man to enter was Henry. He went right after Shelton. Regal entered the match and took on Henry. Orton's pod opened and he took on Regal. Triple H finally entered. Regal hit a release German suplex on Orton. Regal hit the Power of the Punch on Goldberg and busted him open. Triple H attempted a Pedigree on Orton, but he reversed it. Triple H tried again and succeed. Orton went for an RKO, but The Game pushed him away. Triple H hit the Pedigree on Goldberg and eliminated him. Regal was eliminated after Paydirt.

After a running clothesline and some right hands, Triple H got the win.

Recap: I wasn't expected RVD to retain his title, but the knockout stipulation helped him. I'm happy Henry is no longer champion.

Smackdown
