Monday Night Raw – May 30, 2011
The Miz is in the ring, explaining his actions last week. Rey Mysterio comes out to confront him. Then Alberto Del Rio joins in. Finally, John Cena as well. Everybody argues before the Raw GM makes a main event tag team match for tonight.

Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne face off against Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. Excellent match, 90% quality. The United States champion grabs the win after pinning Hawkins via Trouble in Paradise. After the bout, Drew McIntyre hits the ring and plants Kofi with a Future Shock. Drew joins the list of men staking their claim at a title shot.

Nikki Bella vs. Kelly Kelly. Nobody cares until Kharma hits the ring and flattens everybody, continuing her string of complete dominance that has lasted for a month now.

Kharma actually grabs a microphone and tells a horrified Brie Bella that the destruction will not stop until she receives a shot at the Divas Title.

John Morrison and Johnny Curtis meet in a match that’s about as mediocre as it gets. A Truth interference botch leads to a Morrison win via Starship Pain. Morrison fights off both after. It won’t be too much longer before Morrison and Truth meet mano-a-mano in the ring again.

A video is played hyping the forthcoming return of…*inhales deeply* *quick exhale*…Gooooooldusssssst.

Punk/Tarver vs. Show/Kane for the tag titles. The ref winds up banning the other members of Nexus midway through. However, that doesn’t stop DARREN YOUNG from jumping over the barrier and neutralizing Big Show, clipping his knees and knocking him off the apron while the ref didn’t see it. This distracted Kane, who walked into a huge GTS from Punk for the title retain.

Punk brings out the other Nexus members to celebrate. He reminds everybody that he and Young go way back to the first season of NXT, when Young was his rookie and didn’t listen. Well after seeing him on NXT 5, he realized he finally changed and is ready to make an impact. As such, he officially re-inducted Young into the Nexus. Young slips on his armband and celebrates. The Nexus is now a huge force, back to 7 members.

Jack Swagger vs. Dolph Ziggler. ANOTHER 90% quality match, this has been a quality episode of Raw. After a great back-and-forth bout, Swagger cinches in the Ankle Lock. Ziggler makes it to the ropes and rolls out, retreating to the back and living to fight another day.

Ziggler doesn’t even make it up the ramp before the Raw GM chimes in. Michael Cole begrudgingly announces that Swagger will be granted another chance at Ziggler in a rematch next week.

Shit hot crowd for the tag main event. The heel team act all chickenshit-like, trying to avoid making in-ring contact with their respective opponents. Del Rio and Miz have a miscommunication that leads to Miz being dropped onto the middle rope. 6-1-9, then Miz stumbles back into an Attitude Adjustment for the loss. Cena and Rey stand tall tonight, but will they be doing so at Capitol Punishment?


NXT: Redemption – May 31, 2011
JTG and Chavo Guerrero meet in a battle of “hey, my rookie is no longer on NXT!” because I’m forced to have 3 matches. Chavo wins via Frog Splash.

Lucky Cannon and Maryse plot backstage. This nets Lucky overness points. Guess being paired with a super hot blonde doesn’t work only if you’re Ted DiBiase.

Lucky Cannon vs. Conor O’Brien. Maryse’s attempted interference goes slightly awry and allows O’Brian to plant his finisher for the win. As he celebrates, Maryse low-blows him, allowing Lucky to recover and hit a finisher of his own. Although he may have lost the match, Lucky has made an impact.

Byron Saxton cuts a halfway decent promo, hyping his upcoming match.

Titus O’Neil vs. Byron Saxton. Horrible match as Titus once again didn’t sell. Saxton picks up a huge, surprisingly clean, victory following his facebuster finisher thingy.

And with the 3rd elimination of NXT, Titus O’Neil is going home. That’ll teach you to no-sell, you bastard! Matt Striker announces that there are 2 weeks left for rookies to get their redemption, and that another elimination will be next week.


WWE Superstars – June 2, 2011
Drew McIntyre vs. David Hart Smith. Pretty solid opening contest that sees Drew get the win following a Future Shock.

Raw Rebound.

Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov vs. Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty. Bog standard tag team bout, once the face team begins to get an advantage – Mason Ryan and David Otunga hop into the ring and join in on an attack. 4 on 2 beatdown ensues, the Nexus ends the Raw portion of the show standing tall.

SmackDown Rebound.

Trent Barreta vs. Tyson Kidd. Spectacular main event, 90% match quality. After a long match, Chavo Guerrero interjects and trips up Barreta. Kidd capitalizes with a huge DDT before locking in a Sharpshooter for the win.

After the bout, Chavo gets on the mic. He tells Barreta he can beat him fair and square, and he plans on proving it next week!


Friday Night SmackDown – June 3, 2011
Theodore Long announces that as a result of the no contest last week, Orton and Henry will BOTH be number one contenders. Triple threat match at Capitol Punishment for the belt. In addition, all three men will compete in special one-on-one matches tonight.

Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes. Fantastic opener, surprised at how well these two guys gelled. Ted DiBiase runs out and tries to help Rhodes (Legacy represent!) but fails. Rhodes eats an RKO for the loss. Rhodes and DiBiase beat down Orton after until Sin Cara runs in for the save and lands a couple huge high-flying maneuvers.

Alex Riley and Brodus Clay self promotion interview. No real reason for it, just keeping them on screen on a week I have nothing for them to do.

Layla vs. Tamina. This predictably didn’t go well at all after the intense opener that sucked the energy out of the crowd. Anyway, Layla gets the win. Kharma comes out after and destroys both.

Kharma reiterates her point from Monday. Until she gets her Divas Title match, the relentless destruction of the divas roster will continue.

Daniel Bryan vs. Heath Slater. Decent enough match. Ezekiel Jackson and William Regal ensure Wade Barrett and Skip Sheffield stay neutralized at ringside long enough for Bryan to win via LeBell Lock. Bryan points at Barrett, and the announcers (correctly) speculate that he wants an Intercontinental Title match.

Kane vs. Mark Henry. Holy hell, an 84% match quality out of Mark Henry. Back and forth hoss battle sees Henry win cleanly with the World’s Strongest Slam. Henry adds a few big splashes to Kane after, adding insult to injury.

After the highlights are shown, Kane slowly gets to his feet. This doesn’t last long – as Sheamus sneaks into the ring and blindsides him with a Brogue Kick. Sheamus is clearly frustrated after being left out of the title picture, but why would he pick Kane of all people to vent his frustration on?

Jinder Mahal vs. Yoshi Tatsu. Pretty basic match here, decent enough. Mahal grabs his first real WWE win with a move he calls the Sands of Time. After the match, The Great Khali comes out and stares down Mahal – only to pick up Tatsu and drop him with a Punjabi Plunge. Bah gawd has Mahal brainwashed Khali?

Interview with The Corre, specifically Wade Barrett. Barrett addresses Bryan and infers that he hasn’t earned a title shot yet. But onto tonight, he’s been selected to face Christian – and that Champion vs. Champion match is up NEXT!

Christian vs. Wade Barrett. Definitely a main event quality bout, need to file that information away for later. Unfortunately, it has a standard TV main event finish as Mark Henry comes in for the DQ ending. Randy Orton runs in before the beatdown can get too big, and he lands an RKO on Barrett. Henry escapes as Christian and Orton have an intense staredown to end the show.

Meh, no great loss. There's a chance he would have wound up on one of my NXT seasons, but I've got enough guys in development to plug into those spots.
