19th April 2013

Location: Thompson-Boiling Arena, Knoxville, Tennessee

 Opening Credits.

Commentary: After last weeks huge 6 man Main Event, we now know that Daniel Bryan will challenge Brock Lesnar for the World Championship in 9 days time at Extreme Rules............and with the fact that Lesnar has lost all his allies lately possibly explains his mood, because he may sense his Title slipping away.

In other news tonight will see United States and Intercontinental champions collide in the Main Event, Kharma will take on Natalya, newly returned Cesaro & Ziggler take on The Motor City Machine Guns and Kurt Angle begins his new quest of respect by taking on Titus O Neill..............

And now it's time for the Guest Host for this week to announce himself to the WWE Universe................

"IF YOU SMELL................."

Out strides The Peoples Champion..............The Rock!!!!

Promo:  FINALLY...................The Rock has come back.....................Home!

The Rock starts by informing the WWE Universe that he still thinks John Cena sucks............

Tonight as Guest Host, he's taking no crap..............so he orders the ring staff to set up tables and chairs, because we're starting the night off with a contract signing.................

This contract signing was to set up a match next week for Chris Jericho to get revenge on David Otunga and will award Otunga with a new WWE Contract, however before this can begin, The Rock asks Otunga "Who in the Blue Hell are you" to which the WWE Universe cheer.................Otunga begins to answer, when The Rock cuts him off exclaiming "It doesn't matter what your name is", which gets an even louder reaction from the audience................

Embarassed Otunga then turns back to the table, signs the contract and leaves quickly..................Jericho then signs...........the match is official, next week Jericho aims for redemption against Otunga...............

Backstage Interview: Charley Caruso reminds everyone of Swagger turning up on Monday Night Raw to attack his Extreme Rules opponent Ryback, and with Ryback going onto state he would be here tonight, will Swagger be able to concentrate in his match later tonight with Mark Henry?

Swagger claims not to fear Ryback, because Ryback should be the fearful one of facing him at Extreme Rules, and that is why in the Main Event tonight, he's going to give an example of what awaits Ryback by demolishing Mark Henry.................another overhyped loser.

Titus O Neill v Kurt Angle

 Winner: Titus O Neill via Pinfall

Post Match: In a show of respect, Angle and Titus shake hands before Angle leaves the ring for Titus to have his moment.................but then Scott Steiner still irate at his own defeat to Titus 2 weeks ago storms the ring and launches a vicious attack on Titus.............until Kurt Angle returned to the ring beating Steiner back and causing him to retreat.........................

Backstage: Matt Hardy confronts his brother Jeff over his recent actions involving Kofi Kingston.............especially the constant attacking from behind, it's time Jeff dealt with his problem face to face like a Hardy should.

But Jeff doesn't want Matt's advice, especially considering that without Jeff, Matt is a nobody, who no-one respects............

Matt is disappointed, but he will have to let Jeff make his own mistakes, opening the door to leave..............suddenly as he leaves a huge strike knocks him to the ground and then he's sent crashing into the wall...............by The Big Show who was laying in wait, as all the while Jeff Hardy just looked on.

Big Show then proceeded to continue a beatdown in the corridors, before ending with a massive chokeslam before WWE staff turned up to seperate Show from the downed Matt Hardy.

Promo: The ring has been occupied by Kofi Kingston, and he admits he's a slow learner, despite the constant attacks by Jeff Hardy, he will continue to call him out, but this time he's calling Jeff out for Extreme Rules, and the match that Jeff is famous for, a LADDER MATCH!!

There is a hesitation to allow Hardy to respond.................and then from behind comes.......................

KANE!!!!!!!!

In a completely unexpected moment, Kane catches Kofi by the throat and delivers a massive chokeslam, then the turnbuckles explode in flame.............

and then Sting comes out to confront Kane, but Kane is not waiting, he storms down the entrance ramp, and the fight begins..............WWE Security rush out to break up the fight, and then the camera pans back to the ring, where once again Jeff Hardy has taken advantage of the situation delivering a further beatdown to Kofi Kingston..............before yelling triumphantly that he accepts Kofi's challenge for Extreme Rules.............

Backstage: Bully Ray walks in on Big E, after his offer was turned down last week, he notices that Big E is NOT in line for a World Title match, while Randy Orton is still an active member of the roster.............so he suggests Big E watch his brother D'Von on how to deal with a problem, when he takes on Randy Orton later tonight.Big E re-iterates he doesn't need or want help, he is the future of the WWE and while he's standing.........ALL the titles on Smackdown are at risk................Bully Ray instinctively looks at his own title, before backing out of the ring.........message received.

Coming up next Kharma will take on Natalya....................

Kharma v Natalya

Mid Match: Gail Kim made her way down to ringside, which irked Kharma.

Winner: Kharma via Pinfall.

Post Match: Kharma revelled in her victory................but then turned round and was met by Gail Kim's Knockout Title.............in a retaliation for last week.

Backstage: Fandango is destroyed by Brock Lesnar...............culminating in Lesnar sending Fandango through a windshield............

Backstage: Jinder Mahal & X-Pac are seen in deep discussion, is Jinder trying to worm his way into another World Title match?

Coming up next can Ziggler & Cesaro prove they are more worthy of a Tag Title shot by defeating the Number 1 Contenders, The Motor City Machine Guns in a Tornado Tag Team Match.

Motor City Machine Guns v Cesaro & Dolph Ziggler

Tornado Rules

Winners: Motor City Machine Guns via Pinfall by Alex Shelley on Dolph Ziggler.

Backstage Interview: Charley is standing by to interview the WWE Tag Team Champions Beer Money having just watched the Number 1 Contenders in action.

Roode claims that at Extreme Rules,The Motor City Machine Guns will once again choke in the ring.

Storm then points back to his singles victory over Sabin last week and that as a result, they get to name the stipulation for Extreme Rules...............and they shall do just that........................on Monday Night Raw!!!!!

Backstage: Mark Henry walks up to Swagger, who has no time for this, he'll let his actions speak for him in the Main Event, but Henry simply points behind Swagger and utters "Oh my god........Ryback????"..............which causes Swagger to turn and lose his balance with a look of fear...............which then turns to anger as Henry laughs and walks away pleased with his ruse.

Promo: Out walks Maria who under orders is out here to issue an apology to Charley Caruso.................which she does in the weakest apology ever............then as she's about to leave, out walks The Rock...............

Clearly not impressed he demands that Maria offer an apology directly to Charley, and calls her out to join Maria in the ring.

And so Maria has to swallow all her pride and awkwardly deliver a sincere apology to Charley...............which Charley accepts, she holds no grudge and now they can both move on with their careers.

Charley offers a handshake...........but that is too much for Maria who storms off..........embarassed and angry.

Then out walks the WWE Womens Champion, Summer Rae accompanied by Nia Jax, who reminds everyone that she IS a CHAMPION, because they may have forgotten since she hasn't had a match in 3 weeks, but is still expected to defend her Title at Extreme Rules.  As a result she demands that whoever the Guest Host is next week give her a match, and she advises that Brie Bella watch, because that will foreshadow what awaits her at Extreme Rules.........

Backstage: Kurt Angle chats with Christian, he wants a match with him ONE MORE TIME next week.

D’Von Dudley w/ Bubba Ray v Randy Orton

Winner: Randy Orton via Pinfall.

Post Match: Big E makes his way out and without uttering a word sends Bubba Ray a clear message………….and then from out of nowhere…………Orton lands the RKO on Bubba Ray………..

Backstage: Big Show addresses WWE Management, he is tired of being overlooked, tonights attack on Matt Hardy was a message, and he will continue sending these messages until he gets what he deserves…….

Promo: Out to the ring comes the Number 1 Contender to the World Title, Daniel Bryan, finally the Title Match is in his grasp, winning the 6 Man Battle Royal was huge, the one on one match he's worked so hard for is just 9 days away, and while he admits it will be tough, he KNOWS he can beat Brock Lesnar..............and then simply the mention of his name brings Lesnar out, and he's not in a good mood as Fandango found out earlier.................Referee's spill out, then Security.......but Lesnar will not be stopped.............eventually the Locker Room is sent out and eventually Lesnar is dragged to the back..............Bryan smiles in the ring, he's in Lesnar's head................but is that REALLY where he wants to be?

And now as we recover from that chaos, it's time for the Main Event as Champions clash, but in all that has happened tonight, at least Jack Swagger can concentrate on this match, since Ryback has still not followed through with his threat.

Jack Swagger v Mark Henry

Winner:  Mark Henry via Pinfall.

Post Match:Point proven, Mark Henry leaves the ring, angry and humiliated, Swagger snatches a microphone and makes the statement that his mind wasn't on the match, how could it be when the spectre that Ryback was going to cause physical harm on him was present throughout the show.

He claims that match should be struck from the records, before turning back to Ryback and claiming that he's not surprised Ryback did a lot of talking on Monday Night Raw, but didn't follow through, because Ryback knows that he knows that he would be humiliated by Swagger AGAIN, and that is why hhe now wants their match at Extreme Rules to be a Submission Match, so Swagger can put Ryback through the ultimate humiliation of tapping out in the middle of the ring...............

and then "Feed Me More" bellows from the Titantron and walking down to the ring to confront Swagger face to face comes Ryback.

Ryback issues two words "I ACCEPT"........then without warning MeatHook Clothesline followed by The Shell Shock.............and then picks up the United States Title and holds it up to close the show.
