Yeah, I guess you're right. I don't know what to do regarding PPV's then. Before the matches seemed too short and plus I've already written three matches with the new format. I guess it'll just be a mixed show then. Three matches will be the new format and the rest won't then I suppose. I guess I'll just stick with the old format of around 50 words a minute then.

Nice, man! The two main events (Punk/MVP and Taker/Regal) were all kinds of awesome. One of the better written wrestling matches that I've read. That said, while there were lots of nice matches, not too much happened when it comes to development. I'm expecting you'll have some shake ups on RAW though to draw me in more, but whatever you do I'm sure it'll be good.

Triple H is expected to make his return on the June 22nd edition of Monday Night Raw. There is no information on what he will do or how he will be used. He obviously is expected to have some sort of interaction with JBL and Royalty though.
It has been announced that WWE will hold the King Of The Ring Tournament this year and it will begin on the July 20th edition of Monday Night Raw with the finals taking place at SummerSlam on August 23rd.
SummerSlam this year will take place overseas in London, England at the 02 Arena with Raw the following night also taking place in London at the O2 Arena.
In September there could possibly be a new Pay-Per-View coming about called "Night Of Dreams" which would consist of matches purely made up of dream matches as well as international superstars, mainly Japanese talent, wrestling WWE superstars. This is not one hundred percent confirmed but it is possible that this could take place. If it is to take place, it would most likely only be a one time deal to test the concept out.
WWE is still debating about the two world title matches at SummerSlam if both matches should be elimination chambers or only one. If only one of the matches is to be in the elimination chamber, it would most likely be for the World Heavyweight Championship with the WWE Champion defending his championship in a different match.
WWE feels that they may have possibly dropped the ball with Abyss and have sort of run out of opponents for Abyss at the moment. They wanted him to wrestle a series of legends or other main eventers but with alot of the main eventers playing the role of heel right now, they have to decide who to turn face. There is talk of having Chris Jericho come back as a face and begin a program with Abyss but it is not completely decided upon yet. There is also a chance of Abyss starting up another program with The Undertaker for the WWE Championship. They only wrestled one match at Judgment Day so the feud hasn't been overplayed or anything. It's a possibility that Abyss could be Undertaker's opponent at Great American Bash on July 19th.

I've got alot on my mind and a new issue that is clogging my brain. I'm very anxious about something right now and not really feeling like doing much except one thing but it's not possible right now, atleast not yet.

June 22nd 2009;Charlotte, North Carolina
Tonight's broadcast is started off by a video package that highlights the events that took place last night at Vengeance in Atlanta, Georgia! After this video package we fade into the arena with the camera panning around the arena as the official theme of Monday Night Raw blasts throughout the arena. We see the rabid fans on their feet ready to see tonight's show that is planned! The camera then focuses on the stage where a huge pyro display is set off. After this is over, we do one more pan around the arena before stopping in front of the announce table where Jim Ross and Jerry 'The King' Lawler sit ready to call tonight's broadcast.
Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to the June 22nd edition of Monday Night Raw! I'm here in Charlotte, North Carolina with my broadcast partner, Jerry 'The King' Lawler!
Jerry Lawler: That's right, JR! What a show Vengeance was last night! I can't wait to see the aftermath here tonight!
Jim Ross: Neither can I, King! I wonder what CM Punk has to say about MVP cheating to hold onto his titles last night! It's a shame that the match had to end that way because it was a classic up until that moment!
Jerry Lawler: I disagree with you there, JR! I thought it was a great match including that moment that you don't seem to be too fond on!
Jim Ross: Well we're just agree to disagree then! Tonight in the main event folks, we've got Kurt Angle going one on one with the World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion, MVP in a non-title match!
Jerry Lawler: That should be fantastic, JR! I can't wait for that one!
Jim Ross: Me neither, King! It will mark the first time ever that Kurt Angle and MVP will meet inside the squared circle!
Suddenly JBL's theme hits the arena and the crowd boos as Royalty makes their way out onto the stage. MVP has a suit & tie on with the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist and his Intercontinental Championship around his stomach just above the world title. William Regal in his ring gear with his signature fancy entrance robe. JBL with his traditional cowboy hat, cowboy boots, suit and tie. They get down to the ringside area, walk up the ring steps single file then get into the ring. JBL grabs a mic from Lillian at ringside then walks back to the center of the ring as the crowd boos. His theme slowly fades away as he's about to speak but the crowd continues to boo.
JBL: What you're witnessing tonight is the continuation of a dynasty that will continue to rule the WWE until we don't feel like ruling it anymore because we are Royalty! ~Crowd boos
JBL: Last night, CM Punk stepped up to the World Heavyweight & Intercontinental Champion, confident that he would win but let me tell you something CM Punk, peasants never beat Royalty! The United States might have won it's independence from the rule of England but they did so with a price and that price is never cheap! MVP will continue to reign as double champion as long as we stand strong and never falter! Believe me, it will take alot to get us to falter! So far the only person giving us any true trouble and competition is the WWE Champion, The Undertaker!
~Crowd cheers
JBL: Undertaker, you may have been able to retain your championship last night at Vengeance against William Regal but I will promise you this, I guarantee that you will get your title taken from you very soon and it will be by a member of Royalty! You may think that you're the true king of the WWE because you've been here the longest out of anyone else but let me tell you this, there is a new group of kings in town and you're not welcome anymore! We ask that you leave your broken crown at the door! Haha!
~Crowd boos
JBL: Undertaker, if you're wanting to know who you'll be defending your championship against at Great American Bash on July 19th, that question will be answered this next week on Smackdown. Now back to CM Punk. Punk, don't come out here expecting another title shot because you blew it last night! That's it, you're finished pal!
CM Punk's theme suddenly hits the arena and the crowd explodes into a frenzy of cheers as CM Punk makes his way out onto the stage in a CM Punk T-Shirt and his ring gear on. He walks down the ramp, gets down to the ringside area and walks up the ring steps onto the apron then proceeds to get into the ring. He walks to the backside of the ring and grabs another microphone from Lillian at ringside. He turns back around to face JBL and his clan. Punk's theme begins to fade away as the crowd chants for him.
CM Punk: Oh I'm done with title shots, is that right JBL? Maybe someone should have said that to you after to kept losing in rematches against John Cena after you lost your WWE Championship! Oh I'm not done, I'm just getting started and I'll keep trying until I win that World Heavyweight Championship from around a waist that it doesn't deserve to be around! I mean, you really want someone like him representing one half of the WWE when he's a cheater!? Well, what am I saying, you're no different JBL. You cheated your way through your WWE Championship reign and the only person that ever brought you to justice was John Cena when he took your precious title away from you. MVP cheated last night and I was robbed! I watched the tapes, don't think I didn't know what went on last night!
~Crowd cheers
JBL: Who's in charge here Punk? Who's going to stop us from doing what we want and making the choices we want? Nobody. I sure as hell know you aren't going to be the one to stop us as you couldn't even do what you told these people you were going to do. Punk, I said that you're done, no more title shots! This world title is staying around MVP's waist until he decides to give it up! Nobody can stop Royalty! You hear me?! NOBODY!
Out of nowhere, Triple H's theme hits the arena and the crowd cheers as Triple H makes his way out onto the stage in black jeans, a Triple H T-Shirt and a sledgehammer in his left hand. JBL and the rest of Royalty looked shocked as Triple H slowly walks down the ramp towards the ring. He gets down to the ringside area, he slides under the bottom ropes and pops up to his feet. He grabs the microphone from JBL in his right hand as he still wields the sledgehammer in his left hand. His theme slowly dies down as the crowd cheers and starts a 'Welcome back' chant directed at Triple H.
Triple H: Well JBL, it's been exactly a month since you suspended me from the WWE and you ask who can stop your gang and you, I'm here to answer that question for ya, me!
~Crowd cheers
Triple H: Ya see JBL, by suspending me, you didn't hurt me a bit! You only hurt yourself because deep down you knew that when I got back there would be hell to pay and there is hell to pay! CM Punk, I apologize to you for attacking you last month and I want to commend you on your efforts in your match last night against MVP. Ya know JBL, the whole month while I was sitting at home in Connecticut, I was thinking about how I would put you down and I thought, I'll put you down just like I put everyone else down; HELL IN A CELL!
~Crowd cheers
Triple H: There's no way for your cronies to get in and no way for you to get out! Great American Bash...
Triple H stops dead in his tracks and turns towards Punk as Punk looks puzzled at why he's looking at him suddenly. Triple H then suddenly drops the mic and hits CM Punk upside the head with the sledgehammer as the crowd then begins to boo as Triple H stands over CM Punk and laughs. JBL begins to laugh as well as Triple H bends down t pick up the microphone again.
Triple H: Sorry Punk but know what? You can't have Royalty without The King Of Kings! Great American Bash, Hell In A Cell! You took my chance at becoming world champion again and you messed with the wrong gang!
Triple H's King Of Kings theme hits the arena as the crowd boos as all of Royalty begins to laugh and raise eachother's arm up in the air as Raw fades into it's first commercial break of the evening.
**Commercial Break**
Jim Ross: Welcome back everyone and moments ago, it was made official that Triple H will indeed meet CM Punk in a Hell In A Cell match at the Great American Bash on July 19th!
Jerry Lawler: Wow, JR! I can't wait for that match, should be amazing if you ask me, JR! I'm just amazed at how quickly Triple H wants to take it to that high of a level so quickly. You'd think that he would want to take on Punk in a singles match first.
Jim Ross: We'll we're still a little over three weeks away from the Great American Bash so it's possible that the match could happen. We'll just have to wait and see!
*Entrances and Introductions*
Match #1 - Singles Match
Shelton Benjamin vs. D.H. Smith
This is only the second match in 2009 for the young D.H. Smith and after picking up a victory over Paul Burchill last week here on Monday Night Raw, he will be taking on one half of the World Tag Team Champions, Shelton Benjamin. Both men start the match off with a couple headlock exchanges and some nice basic technical wrestling. Mid match we see Smith gain some dominance over the tag team champion by hitting him with a flurry of right hands in the corner then connecting with the Northern Lights Suplex into a bridge but Shelton kicks out at two. Final moments of the match we see Smith getting ready to connect with the Running Powerslam to finish him off but Shelton quickly slides down the back of Smith and hits him with a clothesline to the back of the head sending him forward down into the mat. Shelton quickly pulls Smith back up to his feet, kicks him in the gut, puts his head between his legs, turns around, hoists Smith up and hits him with the devastating powerbomb right into the top turnbuckle.

Swagger then pulls Petey up and hits him with a knee lift to the gut followed by a dragon screw into an elbow drop on the inside of Petey's knee.

**Commercial Break**
We come back from commercial with the camera focused on the stage. After a few moments, the theme of Shawn Michaels hits the arena and the crowd explodes as HBK makes his way out onto the stage wearing street clothes. He does his theatrics on the stage before walking down the ramp towards the ring. He gets down to the ringside area, walks up the ring steps onto the apron and gets into the ring. He walks over to the backside of the ring and grabs a mic from Lillian at ringside. He walks back to center of the ring as the crowd cheers and his theme slowly fades away.
Shawn Michaels: Last week here on Monday Night Raw, I said that the match between The Rock and I would still happen at Vengeance and if Rock didn't show up, I would take the victory by forfeit then we'd know who the true best of all time really is. Well tonight, I'm here to say that as of right now, neither man is the best. Since The Rock isn't showing up at all, I guess I'll just forget about him and move on to something else. That something else is the World Heavyweight Championship!
~Crowd cheers
Shawn Michaels: MVP, you may have beaten CM Punk last night at Vengeance to narrowly escape with both of your titles still intact around your waist but don't think for a minute that you can beat me, The Heartbreak Kid, Mr.Wrestlemania, The Showstoppa! MVP, I want your world title! I wanna walk that isle one more time as champion before I hang my boots up and you're the man I want to beat for the title. I'm not saying that in a competitive way, I'm saying that because I just want to shut you and your gang up. Yall walk around here like you're just the best thing that's ever happened to this business. Sorry, you're not. People like The Undertaker, Ric Flair and myself are the best things to ever happen to this business. Not you and your Royalty gang!
~Crowd cheers
Shawn Michaels: I know that during your reign as World Champion, you want to beat the best that there is just to boost your ego, well MVP, I'm giving you the golden opportunity right now! Accept my challenge for a title match at the Great American Bash and just maybe, just maybe you will get that ego boost that you so desperately want because we all know that the ego you've got right now, still just ain't big enough for ya!
~Crowd cheers
William Regal's theme suddenly hits the arena and the crowd boos as Regal makes his way out onto the stage in his fancy entrance robe with a mic in hand as the crowd boos at him. His theme slowly fades away as the crowd continues to boo and they begin a 'HBK' chant as HBK looks out into the crowd and smiles.
William Regal: I've been sent by JBL to inform you that you're dreams of once again becoming world champion, will not even begin. The only way you will be able to face the World Heavyweight Champion at Great American Bash is if you first go through JBL and myself. Therefore, by orders of JBL, next week here on Monday Night Raw, it will be Shawn Michaels versus JBL then if you beat JBL, you face me the very next week. Then and only then will your dreams be able to even begin!
~Crowd boos
William Regal: I hope your satisfied and I would recommend that you are because if you aren't, then you just simply aren't getting any chance whatsoever to earn a title shot!
HBK and Regal stare eachother down as Raw fades into another commercial.
**Commercial Break**
We come back from commercial with the camera focused on the stage and this time it's the theme of Randy Orton that begins to blast throughout the arena and the crowd boos as Orton makes his way out onto the stage in ring gear and a Randy Orton T-Shirt on. Orton stops at the top of the ramp, does his pose and begins to walk down the ramp towards the ring. He walks up the ring steps onto the apron and gets into the ring. He walks to the backside of the ring and grabs a mic from Lillian then walks back to the center of the ring as the crowd boos. Orton's theme begins to slowly fade away.
Randy Orton: I'm out here tonight to issue a challenge to your beloved hero, Stone Cold Steve Austin who I left limp in this ring last night after a devastating RKO!
~Crowd boos
Randy Orton: Ya see, apparently Stone Cold thinks it's okay to just leave the ring for six years, come back and act as if he never left. Stone Cold should have just stayed retired but then again, maybe he shouldn't have. Maybe he shouldn't have because now that he is back, I have an opportunity to add another legend to my list of legends that I have killed! Stone Cold is the ultimate legend that I still need to beat in order to solidify me as a legend myself! Stone Cold, you were one of the greatest of all time and now it's my turn to go down that same path that you went down to become a legend in this business. The problem with people like you Stone Cold is that you just don't know when to step away until someone tells you to or someone injures you! ~Crowd boos
Stone Cold's theme hits the arena and the crowd explodes into cheers as Stone Cold makes his way out onto the stage in his traditional Stone Cold shirt with blue jeans on. He makes his way down the ramp towards the ring, he gets down to the ringside area, steps up onto the ring steps then onto the apron before getting into the ring to face Orton. A ring crew member throws Stone Cold a mic and he catches it as his theme slowly fades away and the crowd cheers.
Stone Cold: So you want to wrestle Stone Cold at the Great American Bash, is that right? You want to get in the ring with me one on one to put me out of my supposed misery, is that right? Well let Stone Cold tell you something, I accept and I am not going to be put down by a disrespectful punk like yourself!
~Crowd cheers
Stone Cold: I've worked too long and hard in this business to just be swept away like I was never here by someone like you! You call yourself the legend killer? Hell, we might as well call you the crowd killer! You come out here with your stupid little hair cut, your fake tan and your little baby monotone voice that puts every damn person in this arena to sleep and you call yourself a legend killer? A badass huh? I tell you what, you better shape up real fast come Great American Bash or else I'm just gonna fall asleep before we even make it to the bash!
Orton suddenly drops his mic, goes for an RKO on Stone Cold but Stone Cold pushes Orton off of him as the crowd then begins to cheer. Orton slowly gets back up, turns around, Stone Cold kicks him in the gut, goes for the stunner but Orton pushes him away then quickly gets out of the ring as the crowd boos at him. Stone Cold is leaning against the front ring ropes as Orton slowly backs up the ramp taunting Orton as the crowd boos towards him. We fade into another commercial break with Orton continuing to taunt Stone Cold and the crowd.
**Commercial Break**
Jim Ross: Welcome back everyone and up next we have the main event of the evening! It's the World Heavyweight & Intercontinental Champion, MVP going one on one with Kurt Angle in a non-title match!
Jerry Lawler: This should be fantastic, JR! First time these two are ever stepping into the ring!
Jim Ross: You're right, King and no doubt it will be a fantastic match! Let's get it started!
*Entrances and Introductions* Main Event - Singles Match - Non Title
MVP vs. Kurt Angle
Both men coming off victories last night at Vengeance would love to continue that momentum here tonight and beat the other man but only one man can come out of this match with a victory under his belt. These two men start the match off with a collar and elbow tie up in the center of the ring transitioned over into a side headlock takedown by MVP, headscissors counter by Kurt, MVP gets out of it and both men get back up to their feet. The two lock up again with another collar and elbow tie up, this time Kurt grabs the leg of MVP, hits him with a shinbreaker into the Ankle Lock but MVP quickly rolls through which pushes Kurt into the ropes and releasing MVP's ankle. Mid match neither man has been dominating the match, back and forth action by both men and it's no doubt been a hard fought match. MVP has Kurt backed into the corner nad is hitting him with a flurry of right hands, MVP walks over to the opposite corner, runs at Kurt and goes for a boot to the face but Kurt ducks down out of the way and MVP boots the top turnbuckle instead. Kurt gets behind MVP and hits him with the first German Suplex of the night and the crowd cheers. Final moments of the match we see Kurt hit MVP with another German Suplex, Kurt quickly gets back to his feet and takes the straps down, he means business! Kurt signals for the Angle Slam, MVP slowly gets back up to his feet, Kurt grabs him and hits him with the Angle Slam. Kurt goes for the cover, the referee has made the two count but then suddenly the referee gets pulled out of the ring. Kurt looks over and there is no referee in the ring. He gets up to his feet, looks around, suddenly Edge slides into the ring, Kurt turns around and Edge nails him with a spear. Edge gets out of the ring, grabs the referee and slides him back into the ring then goes up to the top of the ramp to look on. MVP slowly gets back up to his feet, pulls Kurt up, hits him with the Playmaker into the cover to earn the three count.
Winner - MVP via pinfall @ 14:22
MVP's theme hits the arena and the crowd boos as Edge laughs at the top of the ramp. MVP slowly gets up to his feet, grabs his title belts from the referee and the referee raises his arm in victory as he holds his title belts in the other hand.
Lillian: Here is your winner by pinfall, MVP!
Shawn Michaels suddenly runs out from backstage, runs down the ramp as the crowd cheers, slides into the ring, MVP turns around and Shawn connects with Sweet Chin Music which sends MVP down to the mat as the crowd cheers. JBL walks out onto the stage followed by William Regal. Regal runs down the ramp, slides under the ring and goes for a right hand on HBK but HBK blocks it, hits him with a couple right hands then nails him with Sweet Chin Music which sends Regal tumbling over the top rope to the floor on the outside. JBL is now standing on apron on the backside of the ring, JBL taunts HBK as HBK walks over to him on the apron. HBK punches him then pulls him into the ring. JBL slowly gets up to his feet near the corner, HBK pulls the trigger and hits him with some Sweet Chin Music which sends JBL stumbling into the corner, sliding down the turnbuckles into a seated position. MVP is back up to his feet with his world title in hand, HBK turns around and MVP clocks HBK upside the head with the title belt. MVP taunts Shawn with the belt as Raw goes off the air.

June 26th 2009; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Tonight's broadcast of Friday Night Smackdown is kicked off by a video package showing highlights from Vengeance as well as a few highlights from this past Monday's edition of Raw. After this video package, we fade into the arena with the crowd cheering and on their feet. The camera pans around the arena showing all the rabid fans as the official Smackdown theme blasts throughout the arena. After a pan around the arena, the camera focuses on the stage where a huge pyro display is set off as the crowd cheers. After this display, we do one more pan around the arena before stopping in front of Jim Ross and his broadcast partner Jerry 'The King' Lawler as the official Smackdown theme fades to a lower volume.
Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to the June 26th edition of Friday Night Smackdown and what a show we've got planned for you tonight folks!
Jerry Lawler: Oh you said it, JR! Tonight's show is going to be fantastic!
Jim Ross: Indeed it is, King! Tonight we've got a special six man tag match between The Carolina Connection including their leader, Matt Hardy going up against the United States Champion, James Gibson and his two partners, Kofi Kingston and Matt Hardy!
Jerry Lawler: Sounds great, JR! Can't wait to see that one!
Jim Ross: Neither can I, King! But that's not all because tonight in the main event we have the WWE Champion going one on one with the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga! In a non-title match might I add!
Jerry Lawler: I believe tonight's match between the WWE Champion, The Undertaker and Umaga will be the first time the two ever have stepped into the ring together, right?
Jim Ross: I believe that is correct, King!
JBL's theme hits the arena and the crowd boos as JBL walks out onto the stage with a suit, tie, cowboy boots and his traditional cowboy hat on as the crowd boos at him. He begins the walk down the ramp towards the ring as Lillian prepares to make the official introduction.
Lillian: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the Chairman of the WWE, John Bradshaw Layfield!
JBL gets down to the ringside area, walks up the ring steps onto the apron, looks out into the crowd before getting into the ring and grabbing the mic from Lillian before she gets out of the ring to take her seat at ringside. The crowd continues to boo JBL as he tries to speak but they just won't allow it.
JBL: Tonight I'm here on Smackdown to address the WWE Champion, The Undertaker! I said this past Monday on Raw that Undertaker's opponent for the Great American Bash for his WWE Championship, would be announced tonight and here we are. I've decided to go against giving William Regal another chance even though he is my colleague. I have decided to bring in somebody else to join Royalty to take the WWE Championship from The Undertaker. Someone who has beaten Undertaker before and knows the trick to beating The Undertaker. His name is the monster, Abyss!
~Crowd boos
JBL: I have selected Abyss to be the next one to face The Undertaker for his precious WWE Championship because like I said, he has beaten Undertaker once before and I know he can do it again. Abyss has beaten some of the WWE greats such as Shawn Michaels, Rob Van Dam and of course like I said, The Undertaker! Abyss has been a world champion before and he knows what it's like to be under the pressure not only as a world champion but what it feels like taking the title from someone who is loved by the fans. I know that Abyss and his handler James Mitchell feed off beating other people, they're just what Royalty needs so right now I am proud to introduce to you, the newest member of Royalty, Abyss with his manager, James Mitchell!
The lights go black and Abyss's theme hits the arena then the lights around the stage turn a dark shade of red as Abyss walks out onto the stage in his black ring gear with his manager James Mitchell standing next to him wearing his signature red suit that he is fond of. James Mitchell points at Abyss and yells something at the crowd as they begin to make their way down the ramp towards the ring. Abyss walks up the ring steps onto the apron and gets into the ring followed by James Mitchell. The two men walk up to JBL and JBL smiles as Abyss's theme begins to fade away and the crowd boos. JBL hands the mic over to James Mitchell as the crowd continues to boo.
James Mitchell: I must say that it is indeed an honor to be added to such a fantastic stable such as Royalty. Have no fear JBL because soon you will have two world champions at your side once my monster Abyss takes The Undertaker's beloved WWE Championship from him at the Great American Bash. The Undertaker will soon know that he can not beat Abyss because Undertaker, it is time to accept that there is someone who matches you in mind games and is infact better than you are. Abyss is undefeated here in the WWE and he does not plan on ending that streak anytime soon, as you with your seemingly unbeatable Wrestlemania winning streak of seventeen and zero! Undertaker, it is time to pass through the flames of fate and leave the WWE because there is a new monster in town that will overshadow all your accomplishments and make you look like a mere thought of the past and not the present!
~Crowd boos
James Mitchell: Undertaker, I would recommend that you go ahead and forfeit your championship to Abyss because I wouldn't imagine that you would want to be embarrassed on Pay-Per-View for the second time by being beaten by your superior, Abyss! So Undertaker, why don't you just come out here, hand over your title, get in your casket and forever leave because you are way overdue for your retirement which will indeed be such a sad day for all of your fans that adore you.
The lights go black, the bell tolls and Undertaker's voice suddenly fades into the arena as the crowd begins to cheer. The Undertaker: Through the shadows of time, I have roamed, never to pass on to the next world where I will finally Rest In Peace in my dark casket filled with the souls of the ones who have stepped before me and were defeated. Abyss, you are the next soul ready to be carried to the next world where I will reign in my dark time of death. James Mitchell, you are right, it is overdue for my final rest but that rest will not come until I have all the souls that I desire to reign over and that time has not yet come to pass but I assure you that the time is drawing near as is your time, Abyss!
The bell tolls once again as lights flash all throughout the arena and the crowd cheers. The lights go black once again, the lights come back on and Undertaker is standing face to face with Abyss with his black hat, his black trench coat and the WWE Championship around his waist. The Undertaker backs up a few steps from Abyss, takes the WWE Championship belt from around his waist, holds it outward in front of him, bends down and lays it down on the mat. The Undertaker reaches forward, grabs the mic from James Mitchell and steps back a few steps. The Undertaker: You want my title belt? Take it! But don't think that you can beat me because very few men have had the privilege to do so and I don't plan on allowing it to happen ever again. My time of final rest is drawing near and in my dying hour I will reign supreme and I will continue to gather souls for my army in the dark afterlife. Abyss, you will be the one to Rest In Peace for my time is not yet!
The Undertaker drops the mic, does his cut throat taunt then suddenly the lights go out, the bell tolls, the lights come back on and The Undertaker as well as his WWE Championship are gone. Smackdown fades into a commercial as Abyss looks around the arena.
**Commercial Break**
Jim Ross: Welcome back everyone to Friday Night Smackdown and moments ago it was confirmed by JBL that at the Great American Bash on July 19th, The Undertaker will indeed be defending his WWE Championship against Abyss!
Jerry Lawler: Oh wow, JR! The Undertaker better get ready for one hell of a fight at the Great American Bash!
Jim Ross: Abyss has already beaten The Undertaker once so Abyss is 1-0 against The Undertaker! Can he make it 2-0!? We'll have to wait to find out! But up next ladies and gentlemen, we've got the first match of the night! It's tag team action, the returning Mexicools taking on Priceless!
*Entrances and Introductions*
Match #1 - Tag Team Match
The Mexicools vs. Priceless
This is the first match back here in the WWE for Psicosis and Super Crazy of The Mexicools and they are excited to be back here in the WWE! The two legal men to start this match of are Psicosis and Ted Dibiase Jr. The two start the match off with a traditional collar and elbow tie up in the center of the ring with Ted applying a side headlock on Psicosis who then bounces Ted off the ropes, Ted releases, bounces off the opposite ropes and Psicosis hits him with tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown then quickly pops back up to his feet as the crowd cheers. Mid match we see the two legal men as Super Crazy and Cody Rhodes. These two exchange with some basic technical wrestling, right hands and a couple high impact moves executed by Super Crazy. Final moments of the match we see Ted and Psicosis as the legal men. Ted hits Psicosis with a belly to back suplex into a quick cover but Super Crazy quickly gets into the ring to break up the count. Cody then enters the ring, runs over and begins hitting right hands on Super Crazy who then fights back and tosses Cody over the top rope. Psicosis is back up to his feet and trading right hands with Ted. After a small scuffle, Psicosis grabs Ted and hits him with the Psycho Stunner into the pinfall to earn the three count.
Winners - The Mexicools via pinfall @ 10:06
The Mexicool's theme hits the arena and the crowd begins to cheer as the referee begins to hold up the arms of both Super Crazy and Psicosis as Ted slowly rolls out of the ring to head to the back with Cody.
Lillian: Here are your winners by pinfall, The Mexicools!
The crowd continues to cheer as the two celebrate their victory in their first match back here in the WWE as Smackdown fades into a commercial.

Carlito vs. Brian Kendrick
Carlito and Kendrick start off the match with a traditional collar and elbow tie up with Carlito getting the upper hand as he takes down Kendrick with a side headlock takedown. The referee quickly gets down by Kendrick asking him if he wants to give up but obviously Kendrick isn't going to give up this quickly. After a few moments, Carlito breaks the hold, gets up to his feet, stomps at the shoulder of Kendrick, pulls him up to his feet, irish whips him into the corner and hits him with a few right hands. Mid match we see the two men exchanging a series of high impact moves, right hands and basic technical wrestling. At the moment, Kendrick is in control and he has Carlito backed into a corner. Kendrick pulls Carlito out of the corner, hits Carlito with a superkick, quickly gets out of the ring onto the apron, pulls himself up to the top rope, springboards off and hits Carlito with a Diving Facebreaker Knee Smash. Kendrick goes for the cover but Carlito kicks out. Final moments of the match we see Kendrick go for Sliced Bread #2 on Carlito but Carlito counters it and quickly hits Kendrick with the Backstabber into the pinfall to pick up the three count.
Winner - Carlito via pinfall @ 10:54
Carlito's theme hits the arena and the crowd gives a slight mixed reaction, most of the fans are booing as the referee holds Carlito's arm up into the air.
Lillian: Here is your winner by pinfall, Carlito!
Carlito continues to celebrate his victory as Smackdown fades into another commercial break.
**Commercial Break**
Jim Ross: Welcome back to Friday Night Smackdown and moments ago we saw Carlito defeat Brian Kendrick in what was a fantastic match here tonight. I'm really impressed with Carlito in 2009 so far. Last week he wrestled his first match in 2009 and did a great job doing so.
Jerry Lawler: I agree, JR! Can't wait to see more of him here on Smackdown!
Jim Ross: Same with me, King!
Suddenly Mr.Kennedy's theme hits the arena and the crowd boos as Kennedy makes his way out onto the stage with his ring gear on and a Mr.Kennedy T-Shirt on. He begins to make his way down the ramp, he gets down to the ringside area, walks up the ring steps onto the apron and gets into the ring where a spotlight shines down on him in the middle of the ring. He raises his hand in the air and his special microphone lightly falls down into the palm of his hand before he then looks out into the crowd as his theme slowly fades away.
Mr.Kennedy: Tonight on June 26th 2009 on Friday Night Smackdown, I make my return to the WWE after a two and a half month absence because of an injury that cost me my World Heavyweight Championship! If I had not sustained that injury, I would still be the rightful World Heavyweight Champion!
~Crowd boos
Mr.Kennedy: Now that I am here on Smackdown, there isn't much of anything I can do to regain my World Heavyweight Championship so now my new mission is to become the WWE Champion for the first time ever then you will be able to call me champion once again!
~Crowd boos
Mr.Kennedy: My quest to become WWE Champion will easy considering that the current champion, The Undertaker, is someone that I've beaten multiple times in my career here in the WWE. The Undertaker isn't as hard to beat as he makes it seem, it's actually pretty easy! The Undertaker is already busy in his fight against the chairman of the WWE, JBL and his gang known as Royalty so I'm not going to bother him right now but believe me Undertaker, once you finish your right with them and if you can hold onto your WWE Championship beyond the Great American Bash, I'm coming for your WWE Championship because I am destined to be called champion...again!
~Crowd boos
Chris Jericho's theme suddenly hits the arena and the crowd cheers as Jericho makes his way out onto the stage in his ring gear and a mic in hand as the crowd cheers. His theme slowly fades away as Kennedy stands in the ring appalled that someone would interrupt his promo time.
Chris Jericho: Why don't you just shut the hell up Mr.Kennedy...Kennedy!
~Crowd cheers
Chris Jericho: No one gives a damn about your return and how could they when you weren't anything special before you left anyways! I mean you were World Heavyweight Champion, whoopie! Let me tell ya somethin' pal, I was Undisputed Champion and the way I got there was I defeated The Rock and Stone Cold in one night and I'm the only one in history to do so!
~Crowd cheers
Mr.Kennedy: I can't believe that after all these years, you still use that to make yourself look like something special, I mean, I kind of have a right to still talk about me being world champion, seeing as that was only three months ago unlike your thing that was almost eight years ago!
~Crowd boos
Chris Jericho: It may have been almost eight years ago but it was historical, unlike your little world title win at the Royal Rumble which you cheated to win anyways! Far as I'm concerned, you didn't come out when you were supposed to so therefore in my eyes, your title win didn't even count anyways! Unlike me, you've got nothing to brag about Kennedy! You weren't the one to defeat Stone Cold, The Rock and Triple H for championship wins! Yes folks, I know that my WWE Championship win against Triple H wasn't official but I still pinned him for the title!
~Crowd cheers
Mr.Kennedy: Oh I've got nothing to brag about?! I've defeated the proclaimed god of the WWE, The Undertaker multiple times so far as I'm concerned, I do have something to brag about and I deserve respect for that amazing feat!
~Crowd boos
Chris Jericho: You've still got nothing to brag about, know why Kennedy? Because I to have defeated The Undertaker and if you don't shut up, I'm gonna beat you too!
~Crowd cheers
Mr.Kennedy: That sounds an awful lot like a challenge to me Jericho!
Chris Jericho: Oh, you want a challenge! Great American Bash, you and me then we'll decide who has the bigger bragging rights!
Mr.Kennedy: You're on!
Smackdown fades into a commercial with Jericho and Kennedy staring eachother down as the crowd cheers in favor of Chris Jericho.
**Commercial Break**
Jim Ross: Welcome back everyone and moments ago it was confirmed that at the Great American Bash in July 19th, it will be Chris Jericho taking on Mr.Kennedy for the first time ever! The two men returned here tonight on Smackdown and did not have kind words for the other but the crowd was behind Jericho tonight!
Jerry Lawler: Great American Bash is shaping up to be a great Pay-Per-View so far, JR!
Jim Ross: I agree, King! Should be a great show indeed! Well up next folks we've got the six man tag team match! It's the World Tag Team Champions, Shelton Benjamin and Gregory Helms teaming up with their leader, Matt Hardy; forming The Carolina Connection going up against the United States Champion, James Gibson who is teaming up with Kofi Kingston and Rey Mysterio!
Jerry Lawler: Sounds like we're going to have a third great match here tonight!
Jim Ross: Indeed it does, King! Let's get it started!
*Entrances and Introductions*
Match #3 - Six Man Tag
The Carolina Connection vs. James Gibson, Kofi Kingston & Rey Mysterio
Two weeks ago here on Smackdown, Matt Hardy attacked Kofi Kingston who was going to face Rey Mysterio for the Number One Contendership for the United States Championship and now Kofi Kingston wants his revenge. Mysterio lost that number one contenders match to Matt Hardy who demanded that he got in the match instead of allowing Mysterio to win by forfeit and the corrupt WWE Chairman, JBL, allowed Matt to get his wish. Matt however came up short at Vengeance in his hunt for the United States Championship and now he wants to avenge his loss. Will Matt get another chance at the United States Championship? It wouldn't be much of a Great American Bash without a United States Championship match, Matt knows this and is going to take every chance he can get to get another title shot. If he can get the win over Gibson tonight, he just might have a clear shot at getting that title chance he hopes for!
The two legal men to start off this match are Kofi and Matt as their tag partners stand out on the apron in their respective corners. The two men start up with a traditional collar and elbow lock up into the side headlock executed by Matt. Kofi pushes Matt back against the ropes, pushes him off and Matt breaks the hold, runs across the ring from the momentum, bounces off the opposite ropes and Kofi hits Matt with a drop kick which sends Matt down to the mat. Kofi then pulls Matt back up to his feet, hits him with several right hands but Matt fires back with a knee lift to the gut. Matt then hits Kofi with an elbow to the back of the head as Kofi bends over grabbing at his gut. Matt walks in front of Kofi, pulls him up to his feet as he is down on his knees, hits Kofi with a right hand, hits him with a forearm smash and then irish whips him into the corner. Matt runs at Kofi, hits him with a corner clothesline, goes for the bulldog but Kofi counters and hits Matt with a Enzuigiri which sends Matt down to the mat as Kofi then goes to his corner to make the tag to the United States Champion, James Gibson!
Mid match we see the two legal men as James Gibson and Shelton Benjamin. Gibson is in control of the match currently with Shelton backed into the corner and Gibson hitting him with right hands and forearm smashes. James grabs the head of Shelton, pulls him out of the corner and hits him with a snapmare takedown then hits Shelton with a kick to the back, pulls Shelton up to his feet, hits him with a belly to back suplex with the back of Shelton's head hitting the top turnbuckle in the corner. Shelton grabs at his head in pain as Gibson pulls him away from the ropes to go for a cover but Gregory quickly gets into the ring to break up the count. Gibson jumps up to his feet to try and chase Gregory but he's already out on the apron. Gibson turns back around to Shelton who is in the process of getting up to his feet. Gibson grabs Shelton but Shelton pushes him away then hits him with a Dragon Whip which sends Gibson down to his feet. Shelton goes for a cover but Gibson kicks out at two.
Final moments of the match we see Mysterio and Helms as the two legal men. Helms has Mysterio in the corner hitting him with right hands. After a few moments Mysterio fights out of the corner by hitting right hands on Helms. Mysterio backs up into the corner, pulls himself up onto the second turnbuckle in the corner, jumps off and hits Helms with a diving crossbody into a pinfall attempt but Helms kicks out. Mysterio gets up to his feet, pulls Helms up but Helms kicks Mysterio in the gut which sends Mysterio down to his knees, Helms goes for the Shining Wizard but Mysterio rolls out of the way, Helms gets up, runs towards Mysterio but Mysterio trips Helms into the second rope and the crowd cheers as they know what's next! Gibson and Kofi get in the ring, run across to the opposite corner and take Shelton as well as Matt of the apron as Mysterio connects with the 619. Mysterio then gets out of the ring onto the apron, jumps up to the top rope, springboards off and hits Helms with the springboard leg drop into the cover to get the three count as the crowd cheers.
Winners - Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston and James Gibson via pinfall @ 14:31
Mysterio's theme hits the arena as the crowd cheers. The referee quickly hands Gibson his U.S. title belt before raising Mysterio and Gibson's arms in the air as Mysterio holds up Kofi's arm in victory.
Lillian: Here are your winners by pinfall, Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston and the United States Champion, James Gibson!
The crowd continues to cheer as all three men celebrate their victory. The Carolina Connection slowly make their way up the ramp with their tag belts as Smackdown fades into a commercial break.
**Commercial Break**
Jim Ross: Welcome back everyone and wow what a six man tag match that was, King!
Jerry Lawler: Oh it was one hell of a match, that's for sure!
Jim Ross: Yup and up next we're about to see another hell of a match! It's Umaga going one on one with the WWE Champion, The Undertaker!

~News Report from Wrestling Observer~ **Possible Spoilers**
It has been confirmed by both the WWE and Pro Wrestling NOAH that KENTA will make his WWE debut on the July 6th edition of Monday Night Raw and has signed a six month contract with the WWE which is good until January. It allows him to both wrestle in the WWE as well as continue to wrestle as the GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion in Pro Wrestling NOAH when needed. It is being discussed within the WWE about letting KENTA win the Intercontinental Championship and get a good run with it. WWE in the year 2009 has so far has made the company more wrestling based and feel that having a star such as KENTA be the Intercontinental Champion will help that along nicely as it would open up some great matches. If he is given the Intercontinental Championship, the title will be treated as if it was a title in Japan. Not really any storylines attached to it, just good wrestling. If KENTA is given the title, he has said that he will dedicate his reign to his former employer, mentor and friend, the late great, Mitsuharu Misawa.
WWE has again changed plans regarding a William Regal WWE Championship reign. Some of the creative members feel that he will not be a believable champion while others feel that he would fill the role nicely. It is currently unclear with that they want to do with the WWE Championship. Undertaker has said that he wants to have another small feud with Jericho during his title reign. No word yet on whether or not his wishes will be met and when.
Expect storylines to continue to be something that is used very minimally in the WWE and will most likely only be used for main event feuds such as the new Triple H/CM Punk feud. They want the mid-card and tag team belts to be based purely on wrestling with no storylines attached.
~Out Of Character~
The first couple editions of both Raw and Smackdown for July will be posted in quick results. The reasoning for this is because I feel that I'm very behind from where I would like to be so in order to catch up a bit, I'm going to need to post a few shows in quick results but with the promos in full possibly.
Any feedback from anyone on anything?

June 29th 2009;Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Tonight's broadcast of Monday Night Raw is kicked off with an opening video package highlighting the events of last week's edition of Raw as well as this past Friday's edition of Smackdown. After the video package ends, we fade into the arena with the official Raw theme blasting throughout as the crowd stands on their feet cheering, ready for this edition of Monday Night Raw. The camera pans around the arena a couple times before stopping in front of the stage where a huge pyro display is set off as the crowd continues to cheer. We do one more pan around the arena before we stop in front of Jim Ross and Jerry 'The King' Lawler at their announce table.
Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to the very last edition of Monday Night Raw in this month of June and what a show we've got planned for you folks here tonight!
Jerry Lawler: Oh that's right, JR! Alot of good matches planned for tonight including Shawn Michaels taking on JBL and if Shawn Michaels can defeat JBL here tonight, he'll move on to face William Regal next week to determine whether or not HBK will be able to get a World Heavyweight Championship match against the champion, MVP at the Great American Bash!
Jim Ross: That's right, King! Also here tonight we've got tag team action, it's the World Tag Team Champions, The Carolina Connection taking on the duo of D.H. Smith and Paul Burchill!
Jerry Lawler: After losing this past Friday on Smackdown, I'm sure the tag team champions aren't to happy here tonight and are no doubt going to be coming into the match with a bad mood!
CM Punk's theme hits the arena and the crowd jumps up to their feet as they cheer Punk as he walks out onto the stage with his ring gear on with a CM Punk T-Shirt on as well. Punk walks down the ramp as he touches the fan's hands as they extend them to him as he walks by.
Lillian: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, CM Punk!
The crowd continues to cheer as Punk gets down to the ringside area, walks up the ring steps onto the apron, looks out into the crowd and gets into the ring. He walks to the center of the ring where Lillian hands the microphone off to him. Lillian then gets out of the ring to take her seat at ringside as Punk's theme slowly begins to fade away as the crowd cheers for him.
CM Punk: Ya know, I'm getting awfully tired of JBL and his gang known as Royalty! They come out here every week, proclaiming that they're gods and that they can do whatever they want. Well, yeah JBL, you can do whatever you want, you're the chairman of the WWE but there comes a time when you can't do whatever you want, that time is now because I am going to one by one fight my way up the ranks until I get back to the World Heavyweight Champion, MVP and I'm gonna take his title then I'm comin' for you! Myself and the other superstars backstage are getting awfully tired of you and we are now on a mission to take back the WWE from a corrupt individual such as yourself and your gang!
~Crowd cheers
CM Punk: Triple H makes his grand return last week, he comes out here acting like he's going to defend me then he nails me upside the head with his sledgehammer, challenges me to a Hell In A Cell match at the Great American Bash, saying that I took his title shot and I messed with the wrong gang. Triple H, just who do you think you are? You're nothing more than an arrogant stuck up piece of shit! You're so full of yourself that you just can't stand the fact that someone else is in the limelight other than yourself or one of your buddies! Triple H, at the Great American Bash, I'm going to fight as the underdog, I'm going to go into the match on a mission to put you in your place which you're long overdue for!
~Crowd cheers
CM Punk: Sure, I've never stepped into a Hell In A Cell like you have multiple times, Triple H! You've been in you've been six different Hell In A Cell matches but have only lost once. I can assure you Triple H, that the record is going to go to two losses at the Great American Bash! I guarantee that you and will have a battle of the ages and make our match, Match Of The Year!
~Crowd cheers
CM Punk: We're still three weeks away from Great American Bash but I'm gonna tell you now that you better bring the best you got because I'm not going to hold back under any circumstances!
Punk drops the mic as his theme again hits the arena and the crowd cheers as Raw fades into a commercial as Punk gets out of the ring to head backstage.

Hope I didn't make you feel snubbed by not giving comments like I said I would, I've had my nose buried in a book I just picked up and haven't bothered with anything on the internet. Anyway, there seems to be a few new exciting things going on in your WWE universe right now, but all in all it kind of feels the same as usual. However, I am looking forward to the Abyss/Taker thing, which strikes me as odd because I've never really cared much for Abyss. But hopefully you can do something special with it other than "I'm big"... "I'm big too"... "Okay, let's feud!" sort of thing. Nothing wrong with that if you can elevate it beyond that though. GAB is shaping up to look excellent and I can't wait to see how the HIAC ends up.
