Raw

July Week 4, Year 3

 We saw a couple of titles change hands at the PPV. There are 3 weeks until SummerSlam.

Raw

Match 1. Michaels and Austin vs. Batista and Orton

HBK and Austin were working well as a team. They were using quick tags to keep each other fresh. At 5:50 Orton landed the RKO on Austin. A few moments later, HBK put Batista in the Sharpshooter and then connected with Sweet Chin Music. The match ended when Orton planted Austin's face into the mat with a DDT and pinned him.

Match 2. Booker T vs. Steiner

The former champ is trying to get back on track. Steiner was walking down the ramp when Matt Hardy appeared in the crowd and punched Steiner. The match got under way and Steiner was able to recover. He landed a belly-to-belly and a back suplex on Booker. He then went for his finisher, but Booker blocked it and hit the Bookend to win.

After the match, Matt came into the ring and attacked both Booker and Steiner.

Match 3. Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy

Since Matt is doing his own thing, why not let Jeff go out on his own? Triple H busted Jeff open with some strong right hands. He then hit the Pedigree but Jeff got right back up and hit Whisper in the Wind. He then landed the Twist of Fate. Triple H made his comeback and landed a spine buster and another Pedigree to win.

Recap: It seems as if the Hardys are slowly drifting apart. This Universe has too many injuries in the short time its been around. Lesnar and Kennedy are added to the injury list. 

MONEY IN THE BANK, Year 3

The ladder match is full of star power. I do need to replace a couple of the participant.

Match 1. Money in the Bank Ladder - Triple H vs. HBK vs. Miz vs. Christian vs. Morrison vs. Kennedy
Could this be the way The Game gets another title shot? The match was 24 minutes of awesomeness. Kennedy and JoMo were on the ladder. Kennedy tossed him down to the mat. A small "this is awesome!" chant was heard. Michaels put HHH in the Sharpshooter and made him tap, but it meant nothing. Kennedy then hit JoMo over the head with a chair and busted him open. Miz hit Triple H with the Skull Crushing Finale. Triple H was able to get up, set up a ladder and pulled the briefcase down.

Match 2. Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle  WWE Championship
This was only a 5-minute match. It was a little disappointing. Taker received a German suplex, but he got right back up and hit Angle with a Tombstone. After an STO and a chokeslam, Taker clotheslined Angle to win.

Match 3. Extreme Rules - Benoit vs. Booker T vs. Shelton vs. Jericho  Intercontinental Championship
The ring was filled with all sorts of weapons. There was a ladder, crutch, sledgehammer, kendo stick and garbage can. Jericho hit Benoit with a Codebreaker. A minute later, Booker hit Benoit with the Bookend. Booker then hit a DDT and Benoit began bleeding. After a back breaker, Jericho pinned Shelton to win.

After the match, a WWE official checked on Shelton.

These two went back and forth, countering each other's moves. Edge landed a German suplex and a running knee. Lesnar hit a German suplex of his own and pinned Edge, but he kicked out.

Jeff was tossed out by Batista. Matt was eliminated by Henry. Rhino was #7. Rhino took out Batista. Hogan came out at #8. Henry eliminated JBL. Orton was #9, which means Rock is the last entrant. Hogan took out Rhino. Hogan then eliminated Orton. Rock and Hogan were the last two. They went back and forth until Rock clotheslined Hogan out of the ring to win.

Main Event. Steiner vs. Goldberg vs. Kane  World Heavyweight Title
Kane is inserted into this match because he won the KotR. Kane hit Steiner with a back breaker. A couple of minutes later, Steiner hit a belly-to-belly on both Kane and Goldberg. Kane hit a chokeslam on Steiner and as Goldberg left the get a chair, Kane scored the pin.

Recap: The ladder match was intense. I'm a little upset Triple H won, though. I wonder how RVD feels about his partner becoming the champ.

Recap: The World Champ is aligning himself with many superstars. First the Hardys and now Stone Cold. Angle is back and now the rest of these Smackdown superstars need to return from injury soon. Their roster is thin. 

June Week 4, Year 3

Congrats to Kane for winning King of the Ring. He will receive a World Title shot at Money in the Bank. Smackdown has so many stars injured, it was tough to make a good card. Good thing the AI can help me out here.

Steiner threw RVD into the ropes, but RVD came back with a pinning hurricanrana and won. What an upset!

Smackdown

The winner will face either A-Train or Big Show at the PPV. It was a great back and forth match. Rhino hit a pile driver and the Gore on Cena. However, instead of pinning Cena, Rhino continued the attack and that would backfire. Cena hit rapid-fire moves. He landed a high-angle suplex and then the AA to win.

Tag partners facing off for a spot in the King of the Ring tournament. Because they know each other so well, these two went back and forth. Triple H interfered but didn't do anything. Kane landed a chokeslam on RVD. He then hit his signature side slam. RVD fought back and connected with a heel kick and a front slam. Kane grabbed a chair and busted RVD open. Kane hit another side slam and chokeslam to win.

After the match, RVD was taken away on a stretcher.

Main Event. Booker T vs. Goldberg vs. Mark Henry  #1 Contender's Match

These three fought a month ago for a title shot, which Goldberg won. Can we see a repeat tonight? Each man knew how important this match was. Goldberg hit Henry with the Jackhammer and almost won. Henry hit Booker with the World's Strongest Slam. A couple of minutes later, Booker hit Goldberg with a back suplex. Henry then locked Booker in a bear hug. Booker had no choice but to tap.

Smackdown

Match 1. KotR Qualify - A-Train vs. Hogan

The winner of this will take on Big Show in two weeks. A-Train hit a thunderous clothesline and a back breaker. After a couple of front slams, A-Train landed the Train Wreck on Hogan to advance.

The winner will face John Cena next week. Rhino was in control early. He landed a sit-out powerbomb and a pile driver. Holly fought back and landed the Falcon Arrow. They continued to go back and forth with high-powered moves. Rhino ducked a clothesline by Holly and landed the Gore to win.

Match 3. Edge vs. Brock Lesnar

This match went over 11 minutes and it was exciting from bell to bell. Lesnar connected with an F5 at 6:06 but Edge kicked out. Eddie interfered and watched as Lesnar hit his second F5. Eddie hit the brain buster on Lesnar. Eddie left and Edge took control. Edge went to the top rope and connected with a spear to win.

Main Event. John Cena vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. Hogan  #1 Contender's Match

Before the match, an announcement was made that this is no falls count anywhere. Hogan is pulling double duty this week. No one wanted to lose this match. The match was just over 21 minutes long. Cena busted Hogan open with a flipping bulldog. Cena did the same thing to Kennedy and he began bleeding. Kennedy hit Hogan with the Mic Check while Cena was outside of the ring to win.

Recap: I jinxed myself again. RVD is injured by his partner. The quarter-finals are set. Next week will be Jeff vs. Henry and John Cena vs. Rhino. The following week will be Kane vs. Regal and A-Train vs. Big Show.

May Week 4, Year 3

The King of the Ring tournament will begin this week. Eight wrestlers from each show will participate.

Raw

Match 1. Christian vs. Regal vs. RVD vs. Shelton

These four did not hesitate to bring in weapons. There was a ladder, sledgehammer, guitar, chair, ladder and a crutch in the ring. At about 3:30, RVD hit Shelton with the Rolling Thunder. Two minutes later, Shelton returned the favor as he hit RVD with a t-bone suplex. He then went for Paydirt, but RVD blocked it. Regal landed a double underhook power bomb on Van Dam. Christian hit Shelton with a reverse neck breaker and won.

Match 2. KotR qualify - Jeff Hardy vs. Booker T

After the match, Batista attacked Jeff with a lead pipe.

Match 3. KotR qualify - Matt Hardy vs. Mark Henry

Can we see Hardy vs. Hardy in the second round? Henry went for a power bomb, but Matt reversed it into a DDT. Henry wasn't pleased as he lifted Matt up by the neck and slammed him down. He then lifted Matt over his head let him go. Henry finished it with the World's Strongest Slam.

Main Event. TLC - Steiner vs. Goldberg

This is a non-title rematch from last night. Jericho was in the front row, holding a ticket. This match went almost 12 minutes. It was a lot better than their PPV match. Steiner hit a side belly-to-belly on Goldberg. Goldberg got up and went for the briefcase. Steiner pushed the ladder and down went Goldberg. Steiner threw Goldberg over his head with a belly-to-belly and put him through a table. After a couple more belly-to-belly suplexes, Steiner climbed the ladder and won.

After the match, Batista and Orton appeared on stage. Batista signaled that he wants a shot at Steiner.

These two went back and forth in the first few minutes. Kennedy hit the rolling senton and then the Mic Check. Cena busted Kennedy open with a chair shot the the head. Cena landed the AA and won.

After the match, Rey was taken out on a stretcher.

They made it back into the ring where Hogan hit the big boot and leg drop. He then hit his "Hulking" right hands. Lesnar would not stay down so Hogan brought in a chair and planted Lesnar's head on it with a DDT. After a clothesline in the corner, Hogan scored the 3 count.

After the match, Hogan extended his arm for a handshake, but Lesnar slapped it away.

Taker came back and hit a huge full nelson slam. They went back to the outside where Taker landed another Tombstone to win.

After the match, Angle was taken away on a stretcher.

Recap: Rey and Angle are officially injured. Lesnar is now a face. Smackdown is running out of heels.

JUDGMENT DAY, Year 3

The card was pretty good. I just have to adjust a couple of the matches. Most of the matches have a stipulation.

Match 1. Iron Man - Chris Benoit vs. Booker T  Intercontinental Championship

I wish one of these two were a face, but I still expect a good match. Benoit had Booker in the Crossface a couple of times. Halfway through the match and there was still no score. With 6:40 left, Benoit caught Booker in a roll up and scored the first point. Booker tied it up with 3:20 left in the match. Benoit took back the lead with 1:46 remaining. Booker landed his spine buster, the Houston Hangover and the scissors kick to tie it up with 46 seconds left. Neither man could score a pinfall, so Benoit retains his title. 

Match 2. Kane and RVD vs. Triple H and Flair  World Tag Team Championship

Evolution was in control the whole match. RVD was able to hit Triple H with Rolling Thunder. Triple H fought back and hit a back suplex. RVD and The Game went to the outside where HHH landed his spine buster. He then hit the Pedigree and won.

Match 3. Table - Edge vs. Mr. Kennedy  United States Championship

Edge and Kennedy each brought in their own table. After fighting back and forth, Edge landed the Edge-o-matic. He then went to the corner and hit the spear. Kennedy fought back and landed the rolling senton. Edge hit a back breaker and then speared Kennedy through a table to retain his title.

Match 4. Falls Count Anywhere - John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar

This match is somewhat random, but could lead to something in the future. Brock landed a military press early, but Cena got up and hit a spin-out power bomb. Lesnar fought back and elbowed Cena in the back of the head. He then picked up him for an F5. The match ended up in front of the announcers where Lesnar hit another F5 and won.

Match 5. Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle  WWE Championship

Taker was putting a hurt on Angle in the early going. He hit a leg drop across Angle's throat as he was laying on the apron. He then planted Angle on his head with a DDT. Taker went for the Last Ride but Angle broke out of it. Taker was able to hit Old School. Angle fought back and hit the Angle Slam. Taker kicked out at 2.9 and then made his comeback. He hit the Tombstone and won to retain his title.

Main Event. Last Man Standing - Steiner vs. Goldberg  World Heavyweight Championship

Before the match began, Triple H took a seat with the announcers. Steiner hit Goldberg with a northern lights suplex. He then picked Goldberg up for a military press. After a German suplex, Steiner landed his overhead belly-to-belly. Goldberg hit his swinging neck breaker but it wasn't enough as Steiner hit another suplex and won.

After the match, Big Show joined Steiner in the ring for celebration.

Recap: This was an excellent PPV. I like that both world champs retained their belts. We now have 4 weeks until King of the Ring.

May Week 3, Year 3

This is the last week before Judgment Day. We still don't know who Undertaker's opponent will be.

Raw

Match 1. Booker vs. Stone Cold

This opening contest lit a fire for the rest of the show. A couple of chairs were brought into the ring and even Chris Jericho interfered. Austin hit the Stunner on Booker. They went back and forth and Booker got up. After a Russian leg sweep, Booker hit Austin with a super kick. He then landed the scissors kick to win.

Match 2. Flair vs. Orton and Batista

What is going on with Evolution? We saw Flair and Steiner team up in a losing effort last week. Batista and Orton dominated Flair throughout the whole match. Orton landed a neck breaker and then a back breaker. Batista brought in a chair and cracked Flair over the head. After a double team move, Orton pinned Flair to win.

Match 3. Christian vs. RVD

The IC Champ taking on one half of the Tag Team Champs. Jericho ran down to the ring at about the 4-minute mark with a chair. RVD landed a monkey flip in the corner to Christian. After a heel kick, RVD hit the 5-star Frog Splash. Christian got very little offense in. RVD hit another heel kick and a second 5-star Frog Splash to win.

Main Event. Scott Steiner vs. Triple H

Triple H attacked Steiner from behind as he was waiting in the ring. Steiner was in control early as he landed a running powerslam. The match went to the outside where Triple H hit a back suplex. After his spine buster and Pedigree, Triple H went for a pin but Steiner was able to kick out. Steiner threw HHH into the ropes, but it was reversed into the knee smash. Triple H then hit another spine buster and Pedigree to win.

After the match, Triple H brought in a chair, but Big Show's music hit and made the save. 

Smackdown

Match 1. John Cena vs. Mr. Kennedy

These two have faced a few times in the past. Kennedy was taking it to Cena. He hit a shoulder block in the corner. He then landed his rolling senton. After a Mic Check, Kennedy pinned Cena but it was only a 2 count. Cena fought back and hit a back suplex then a fisherman suplex. Kennedy got up and landed his second Mic Check. Out of nowhere, Cena got up and hit the AA for the win.

Match 2. Big Show vs. Lesnar

Since Show is back and a face, he needs to build some momentum and a win over Lesnar will do just that. At about the 4-minute mark, Lesnar lifted Show up for the F5 and he connected. He then lifted Show up for a military press. A couple of minutes later, Lesnar landed another F5 for the win.

Match 3. Los Guerreros vs. The Dudleyz

This was a tornado tag match that could determine who faces Too Cool at Judgment Day. All four men were flying all over the ring. Bubba landed the Bubba Bomb on Eddie. A few minutes later, Bubba hit Eddie with a dangerous pile driver. He then hit his modified Death Valley Driver. D-Von hit Chavo with an RKO-type move and won.

After the match, a WWE official checked on Chavo.

Main Event. Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle

JBL attacked Angle before the match started. Taker took advantage and hit a fall away slam. Angle came back and hit a belly-to-back suplex. Taker went for the Tombstone but Angle was able to escape. Angle went for the Angle Slam but Taker blocked it and hit the Tombstone and won.

After the match, JBL attacked Taker from behind and hit him with the WWE Title.

Recap: Big Show is back and is now a face. There is currently no one injured in my Universe. I jinxed myself because Chavo is injured.

May Week 2, Year 3

I still plan on holding my own draft on the first Raw of October.

Raw

Match 1. RVD and Kane vs. Christian and Jericho  World Tag Titles

Jericho and RVD started the match. Van Dam landed some kicks on Y2J but Jericho countered with a sleeper hold. Van Dam fought back with a body slam and an enziguri. Christian was tagged in and he hit the Killswitch on RVD. Van Dam got up and tagged in Kane. He hit Christian with a Tombstone and won.

Match 2. Batista and Orton vs. Flair and Steiner

What is Flair doing? Why is he teaming against his Evolution buddies? Flair came out and introduced Steiner as his partner! The Nature Boy is teaming with the man who beat Triple H for the title. I smell a turn coming. About 5 minutes into the match, Steiner and Batista left. Orton hit Flair with an RKO. Flair tried to fight back but Orton was too dominant. After a back suplex, Orton pinned Flair to win.

After the match, Flair was taken away on a stretcher. Orton stopped the stretcher and continued to attack Flair.

Match 3. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels

Can the former champ get back on track? Triple H was dominating HBK. He was out to prove that he wants to be champ again. He landed his signature spine buster. He then went for the Pedigree but Michaels broke out and hit the Sweet Chin Music. Triple H fought back and grabbed a chair. He hit HBK a couple of times. After a Pedigree, Triple pinned Michaels to win.

Main Event. Steel Cage - Booker vs. Henry vs. Goldberg  #1 Contender's Match

The winner will most likely face Steiner at Judgment Day. This was the quickest cage match I've ever seen. It lasted 1:35. Booker hit Goldberg with a float-over DDT. Goldberg got right up and lifted Booker for a military press. Goldberg and Henry began climbing the cage at the same time. Booker chose to go after Henry, which allowed Goldberg to climb over and win.

Smackdown

Match 1. Undertaker vs. Angle

Why is this match the opener on Smackdown? Anyway, it was a good way to start the show. Angle was in control of the champ. JBL interfered and attacked Angle. Taker then hit a Tombstone. He then landed the Last Ride. Angle tried to fight back but Taker lifted him up for another Tombstone. He pinned Angle for the win.

Match 2. Too Cool vs. The Dudleyz  WWE Tag Team Titles

This 10-minute tag team match was awesome. Rikishi was handling Bubba like a sack of potatoes. He punched him to the outside where he and Scotty began a double team attack. The Dudleyz tried beating down Scotty, but they couldn't get the upper hand. After a huge belly-to-belly, Rikishi pinned Bubba to win the titles.

Match 3. JBL vs. Cena

These two stars are looking to climb the ranks so they could face the WWE Champ. Cena was putting a beating on JBL. He had him in the corner and hit JBL with a shoulder block. He then landed a spin-out powerbomb. Not much later, Cena landed the AA for the win.

Main Event. Lesnar vs. Edge

This was a great main event. Lesnar picked up the US Champ and hit him with an F5 at 8:20. Lesnar then hit his overhead belly-to-belly and a face buster. He went for a suplex but Edge reversed it into one of his own. Edge went to the corner and set up for the spear. He connected and pinned Lesnar. The US Champ is on a roll.

Recap: What state is Evolution in right now? So it looks like it'll be Goldberg vs. Steiner at Judgment Day. 

May Week 1, Year 3

All four of Raw's matches are "remarkable matches."

Raw

Match 1. Christian vs. Shelton

Christian is looking to get back his IC Title. Both men went back and forth, trying to build momentum. Shelton landed his signature t-bone suplex. Christian got up and caught Shelton's leg. He turned him around and hit the Killswitch. He hit another just to make sure and won.

Match 2. 3-on-1 Handicap - Scott Steiner vs. Evolution

It looks like Evolution will do everything they can to make sure Triple H regains his title. The only way Steiner could win is if he dominated Flair the whole time, but that wasn't going to happen. Steiner hit Flair with a running powerslam. Orton and Flair began double teaming Steiner. Batista finally came in and hit the Batista Bomb for the win.

Match 3. The Rock vs. Shawn Michaels
Michaels went to the top rope for a high-risk move, but Rock moved out of the way. Rock hit a Samoan drop then a back suplex. Michaels fought back and landed a suplex. He then put Rocky in the Sharpshooter and made him tap.

Main Event. RVD vs. Goldberg

This is Goldberg's first match after returning from last night's PPV. This match only lasted two minutes. I had no idea how. After a running clothesline, RVD pinned Goldberg to win. Did Goldberg return too early?

After the match, Jericho, Benoit and Christian appeared at the top of the ramp. Jericho signaled that he wants RVD's title.

Smackdown

Match 1. Undertaker vs. Mr. Kennedy

Kennedy was taking it to the champ early. He hit a heel kick to the back of Taker's head and then hit a suplex. Kennedy, later, hit his rolling senton and the Mic Check. He picked the Deadman up for another rolling senton and Mic Check. Kennedy hit a DDT and pinned Taker to win.

Match 2. Rhino vs. Holly

This was a good, mid-card match. It went a little over 10 minutes. Holly held Rhino up for a delayed suplex. The match went to the outside where Holly busted Rhino open with a chair shot. They made it back into the ring. Holly landed the Alabama Slam. Rhino took control and hit a clothesline then a spine buster. He then lined Holly up for the Gore and won.

Match 3. JBL vs. Angle, Rock and Bubba Ray

Bubba Ray is the third partner. I don't know why Rock is on Smackdown when he's signed to Raw. Angle and Rock were working well as a team as they hit a few double team moves on JBL. Bradshaw was able to get in some offense. He hit Bubba with a fall away slam and a suplex. Bubba hit the Death Valley Driver and knocked JBL out.

Main Event. Cena and Edge vs. Lesnar and A-Train

Cena and A-Train went back and forth. Cena landed the AA on A-Train but only got a 2 count. Cena and Edge worked well together as they hit both A-Train and Lesnar with some double team moves. Lesnar woke up and hit Cena with the F5. A-Train got back in the ring and hit Edge with the Train Wreck to win.

Recap: Looks like Raw is heading in the right direction with Evolution and their politics. Benoit turned heel and aligned himself with Christian and Jericho. Two heel factions on Raw should be interesting. Smackdown has a much clearer main event picture with Cena, Lesnar and Kennedy fighting for the #1 spot.

EXTREME RULES, Year 3

This is the first PPV with the new rosters. Hopefully this is a good one.

Match 1. Extreme 4-way - Christian vs. Benoit vs. Shelton vs. Booker T  Intercontinental Championship
This was an excellent way to kick off the PPV. Many weapons found their way into the ring, like a chair, sledgehammer, garbage can and a table. Benoit hit Booker with the triple German suplexes. Shelton hit the champ with a high-angle suplex. Shelton hit Christian with Paydirt and then a t-bone suplex on Booker. Benoit hit Christian with a swinging neck breaker and pinned him to win.

Match 2. Too Cool vs. Los Guerreros
This match was a good filler to calm fans down from the previous match. Scotty and Rikishi were isolated Chavo from Eddie. With the help of his uncle, Chavo recovered and hit the Gory Bomb on Scotty. Chavo then tagged in Eddie who put a beating to Scotty. He hit the Frog Splash. Scotty kicked out, but Eddie hit a pinning hurricanrana to win.

Match 3. Extreme Rules - Undertaker vs. John Cena  WWE Championship
I'm surprised to see this match this early. I would have preferred this as the main event. This was a short title match. About 4:30, Taker hit Cena with the Last Ride. A couple of minutes later, Cena brought in a table but Taker was still in control. Cena got up and hit the spin-out power slam. Taker's right arm slammed against the table. Taker got up and hit the Tombstone. Cena kicked out but Taker immediately hit him with another Tombstone and won.

Match 4. 6-man Tag - Evolution vs. RVD, Kane and Shawn Michaels
This was the typical never-ending 6-man tag for my Universe. Batista and Michaels went back and forth, reversing each other's moves. Orton was tagged in and began cleaning house. He stomped all over Kane and then hit his Angle Slam-type move on RVD. Kane regained control and hit Orton with a Tombstone. After a back suplex, Kane pinned Orton to win.

Match 5. Edge vs. Mr. Kennedy  United States Championship
Edge was dominant in the early going. He hit a couple of right hands, a heel kick then planted Kennedy on his head with a DDT. Kennedy fought back and hit the rolling senton then the Mic Check. Edge kicked out at 2 and hit a spear from the top rope. Edge then picked Kennedy back up and landed a pinning suplex to retain the belt.

After the match, Edge went to leave the ring but Goldberg's music hit and out he came. He threw Edge into the steel steps.

Main Event. Extreme Rules - Triple H vs. Steiner  World Heavyweight Championship
This match was going to be a test of strength. Steiner gained the upper hand first by hitting a northern lights suplex on the champ. Triple H brought in a sledgehammer to take out the challenger. Steiner evened the odds with a chair. The Game hit a swinging neck breaker then his signature spine buster. A few moments later, Triple H landed the Pedigree, planted Steiner's face into the World Title. Steiner got up, hitting Triple H in the face with the belt and busting him wide open. Steiner gained momentum and hit Triple H with the overhead belly-to-belly suplex to win. Steiner is the NEW World Champion!

Recap: Just a question, why don't the returning superstars attack those who are on their show? This was an awesome PPV. Will Triple H get a rematch next month?

April Week 4, Year 3

This is the final week before Extreme Rules.

Raw

Match 1. Benoit vs. Regal

The Crippler was in control on Regal. He hit the triple German suplexes. Regal had Benoit in a single-leg Boston crab but Benoit broke out and hit a back suplex. Batista interfered and landed the Batista Bomb on Benoit. He recovered and hit the diving headbutt on Regal to win.

Match 2. Jericho Benoit vs. Scott Hall w/ Booker T

Jericho walked out holding his arm. He introduced Benoit as his replacement. Um, what? Anyway, Booker hopped up on the apron but Benoit punched him off.

The ref turned to ring the bell, but he was caught with a clothesline by Steiner. Being the suplex machine, Steiner landed a t-bone suplex on Henry. Both men went for pins early. After kicking out, Steiner hit an overhead belly-to-belly. He got a close 3 count. He then hit a side belly-to-belly and got the win.

After the match, Flair attacked Steiner with a lead pipe.

Smackdown

Match 1. Hogan vs. A-Train

Hogan hit A-Train with an atomic drop and then landed some right hands. A-Train began bleeding. Hogan hit his signature big boot and got a near fall. A-Train got up and hit the Train Wreck. After kicking out, Hogan "hulked" up and landed some right hands. Hogan then landed a back suplex and pinned A-Train for the win.

Recap: It will be Steiner vs. Triple H for the World Title and Taker vs. Cena for the WWE Title.

April Week 3, Year 3

Raw has three remarkable matches. One is STILL HBK/Christian vs. Brodus/Bourne from I don't know how long ago. 

Raw

Match 1. RVD and Kane vs. Batista and Flair

The tag champs are on a roll. After some mounted punches, Batista hit RVD with a spine buster. A couple of minutes later, Kane was tagged in and landed the Tombstone on Flair. Van Dam was putting a hurting and scoring near falls on both of his opponents. RVD ended it with a 5-star Frog Splash on Flair.

Match 2. Scott Hall and Booker vs. Jericho and Benoit

I'm letting this play out because I can't keep changing 3 matches every week. Before the match, Hall stuck out his hand for a shake. Jericho was thinking about it, but Hall kicked him in the gut. Jericho's partner is Chris Benoit, which is weird because he is a face. Benoit put Hall in the Crippler Crossface. Hall fought back and landed the Outsider's Edge. The match ended in DQ with Benoit and Jericho winning.

Match 3. Rock vs. Shawn Michaels

Rock and Michaels traded moves early on. Rock landed a float-over DDT. Triple H interfered with a sledgehammer in hand. Rock focused on HBK's neck and hit a neck breaker. HBK got up and hit Rock with a Sweet Chin Music. Triple H left without doing any damage. Rock hit the Rock Bottom and won.

Main Event. Submission - Triple H vs. Goldberg

Could Goldberg be returning tonight? It is the man they call Goldberg! He's back and Triple H is next. Triple H was completely shocked to see Goldberg in the ring. Goldberg was dominating The Game all over the ring. He landed suplex after suplex and multiple spine busters. Triple H evened the odds by bringing in a chair. Goldberg blocked it continued his attack. He hit the Jackhammer and then went for a sleeper hold. Triple H came back and hit the Pedigree. He then went for a rear naked choke, but Goldberg broke out. Goldberg picked up the chair and hit Triple H in the face and busted him open. Goldberg then hit another Jackhammer. Triple H somehow got back up and hit a second Pedigree. He then trapped Goldberg in the Figure Four and made Goldberg tap.

Smackdown

Match 1. Rey Mysterio vs. Lesnar

Despite the big size difference, Rey was holding his own against Lesnar. He landed some hard kicks to the thighs of Lesnar. Brock wised up and took control. He lifted Rey up and put his knee into Rey's back. He then lifted him back up for an F5 and won.

Match 2. Rhino vs. Edge vs. A-Train vs. Holly

This is a non-title four way match. All four men went after each other as soon as the bell rang. It settled a little bit a couple of minutes in. A-Train hit the Tran Wreck on Holly and almost won. Rhino and Edge were fighting on the outside while Holly landed the Alabama Slam on A-Train. Rhino hit the Gore on Holly and won.

Match 3. John Cena vs. Mr. Kennedy

After the match, Cena was leaving the ring, but Nash's music hit. He threw Cena into the steel steps.

Main Event. Table - Undertaker vs. Scott Hall
Hall has been on both Raw and Smackdown this week. I may have to do something about this. Taker brought in the first table and immediately lit it on fire. Hall brought in his own table to even the odds. Hall was in control and put Taker through the non-flaming table. Taker was hurt. He was holding his ribs. Taker mustered up everything he could. He lifted Hall up for the Last Ride and slammed him through the fiery table.

Recap: Even with Goldberg appearing tonight, he is still not officially back. Nash is back. Are the Outsider's taking over? They didn't truly lose their tag titles.

April Week 2, Year 3

Raw's main event is the beginning rivalry between Steiner and Triple H. The Smackdown card looks pretty awesome. I will be holding a draft in October. I plan on using these rosters for about 2 Universe years.

Raw

Match 1. Christian vs. Shelton

Shelton was using his speed to unleash his attacks on Christian. He landed a running dropkick, then a back breaker/ Russian leg sweep combination. Christian was able to fight back as he landed an inverted DDT. A few moments later, he hit the Killswitch and won.

Match 2. Stone Cold vs. The Rock

Two of the most entertaining Superstars in the history of WWE. Austin landed a delayed suplex on Rocky. He then mounted Rock for a Lou Thesz Press. Austin picked up Rock and hit the Stunner. Rock was able to fight back and landed an elbow into the chest of Stone Cold. He then hit a swinging neck breaker. Austin became pissed and hit another Lou Thesz Press and Stunner then pinned Rock to win.

Match 3. Jericho vs. RVD

Kennedy hit Rey with a DDT. After a neck breaker, Kennedy landed the Mic Check. Kennedy left the ring to catch his breath. When he came in the ring, Rey caught him in a school boy and won.

After the match, Rey checked on Kennedy but he got low blowed.

Match 3. Lesnar vs. Eddie

Lesnar attacked Eddie as he was walking down the ramp. Eddie got up and hit Lesnar with a gut buster on the outside. Lesnar retaliated with a fall away slam. He then went for an F5 but Eddie blocked it and hit the Brainbuster. The match made it into the ring where Lesnar hit a one-arm German suplex. After a bear hug, Lesnar pinned Eddie to win.

After the match, Lesnar about to leave but he continued to attack Eddie.

Main Event. Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle

Angle was walking down the ramp when JBL attacked him from behind. Angle got up and landed a huge German suplex on Taker. The Deadman sat up and unleashed all Hell. He hit the Last Ride and the Tombstone and called it a night. This match lasted a little longer than 4 minutes.

After the match, JBL attacked Taker from behind and hit him across the face with Taker's belt.

Recap: I immediately removed Scott Hall from Jericho's rivals. I hope this doesn't roll over to the following week. Cena is officially back on Smackdown. Smackdown was out of control this week with all the attacks.
