World Wrestling Entertainment: The Split.

[fanofwrestling]

Backstory:

Following Wrestlemania 25, Vince McMahon realized that with Pay-Per-Views happening every month, Wrestler's couldn't develop as deep a Storyline as previously thought. So Vince made the decision that Pay-Per Views would alternate each year from brand to brand meaning Smackdown would have Backlash one year while Raw the next. With the exception of Extreme Rules, Summerslam, Survivor Series, The Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. Also with ratings on the decline, Vince disbanded ECW and dispersed it's talent equally between Smackdown and Raw. Also with many people wanting faster paced action the WWE has removed it's Women's Division in place for a Cruiserweight division. Both brands will have a Cruiserweight Championship, and new champions will be crowned at each brands Pay-Per-View. With this change in four weeks time Raw will host Backlash and the WWE Landscape will change forever.

Monday Night Raw Preview

On the heels of a very successful Wrestlemania 25, Raw will kick off the road to Wrestlemania 26 with a bang as John Cena is Set To open up the show. After Cena lost in the World Heavyweight Championship match, what will be on Cena's mind as Backlash is Only Four Weeks away.

Also following Wrestlemania, Randy Orton won the WWE Championship from Triple H, following the match Orton punted The Game, square in the skull, doctor's have said that he will be out at least until Survivor Series. But on Raw, in the Main Event, Orton will face Hunter's former Partner, Shawn Michaels in a Non-Title Match.

With the scrapping of ECW following Wrestlemania, the competitors were split evenly over both Raw and Smackdown. Two Former ECW Superstars will make their debut, as the former ECW Champion Jack Swagger will take on The Current United States Champion, M.V.P in a Non-title Match. While Evan Bourne will face off against Jamie Noble.

All this and more on Monday Night Raw.

Announced Matches:

WWE Champion Randy Orton vs Shawn Michaels (Non-Title)
United States Champion M.V.P vs Jack Swagger (Non-Title)
Evan Bourne vs Jamie Noble

News and Notes:

The WWE has been scouting talent in other promotions recently, and has made a priority of trying to sign the following Superstars.

Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Tyler Black and The Briscoe Brothers.

The WWE hopes the Sabin and Shelley will be premier competitors
in the new cruiserweight division, while the Briscoes would be premier Tag Team Competitors.

Aswell, Smackdown is considering the continuation of ECW's New Superstar initiative as there may be some FCW Superstars making their debuts for the WWE Very Soon.

With Regards to Backlash the WWE in considering having a Triple Threat Match, for the WWE Championship, though no names have been dropped for the contenders that would face the Champion, which will bw Randy Orton. However it is thought that there will be a New Champion while Randy, goes a different route coming back into the title picture around Summerslam.

[Millar]

Some cheeky predictions

WWE Champion Randy Orton vs Shawn Michaels (Non-Title)
United States Champion M.V.P vs Jack Swagger (Non-Title)
Evan Bourne vs Jamie Noble (unless you make him Matt Sydal again )


Also like the idea of Sabin and $helley on in the WWE, although if they aren't going to be a team would love to see them in tag split angle, as both are capable of putting some epic matches.

Opening Pyro and To Be Loved by Papa Roach plays as John Cena starts off the show.

0:02-0:12

Michael Cole: Cue The Coronets Here comes Cena.

*Cena makes his signature entrance recieving a huge pop from the crowd. Once he gets to the ring he grabs a mic and his facial expression changes*

Cena: Now Last Night at the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania, I had a chance to win the World Heavyweight Championship and for the people who didn't get to see what transpired, well take a look. *A Video Clip Shows Cena Giving Big Show an Attitude Adjustment, only to be Speared by Edge and pinned*. So last night at Wrestlemania, the Champ wasn't there, but he's here tonight on Raw. Randy Orton, you may have won the WWE Title at Wrestlemania, but at Backlash I'm challenging you to a match for that title.

*Randy Orton comes down to huge heel heat with the WWE Championship draped over his shoulder and Legacy following close behind*

Orton: Now Cena what have you actually done to deserve the title that rightfully belongs to me. That's right Nothing, Cena I don't know if you noticed but you lost your match last night, you don't deserve this title, only I do and I hope that Vickie Guerrero realizes that and makes sure that I don't defend this Title at Backlash.

Cena: As usual Randy your taking the coward's way out. You think your the only one to deserve that title. Randy your Damn wrong, I bet I could find at least four other guys that could A, beat you and B take that title away from you Randy. Infact, one of those people is standing right here in front of you.

*The Two Men Stare a hole into each other until Vickie Guerrero comes out to heat*

Vickie: Excuse me *heat*, I SAID EXCUSE ME. Now Randy Orton, you did win your match last night at Wrestlemania, but that doesn't mean that you don't have to defend your title at Backlash. But Cena, Randy is right, you did lose your match last night at Wrestlemania, so for you to even be in consideration for the WWE Championship match at Backlash, you'll have to win a handicap match tonight against, Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase.

Cena: Wow Vickie I'm surprised, you still don't know what your doing as General Manager. I'm still surprised that you have the job.

*Vickie is infuriated.*

Vickie: Just for that John, your match will now be inside a Steel Cage.

*Cena mouths I Don't care as Legacy and Vickie walk to the back.*

0:12-0:15:

Josh Mathews: I'm here with one of the newest additions to the Raw Roster, Jack Swagger. Now Jack tonight you face M.V.P in a match that could catapult you to a United States Championship match at Backlash. Your thoughts?

Jack: Well Josh, I truly think I deserve that title because, before I came to Raw, I was the ECW Champion, now because ECW was scrapped thanks to Vince McMahon I am left with no title. and when I beat MVP tonight, people are going to notice the All-American American, and I will show people, that I am the best in this buisness.

King: Well Cole what do you think Orton is trying to make the point that he doesn't want Christian cashing in Money in The Bank on him.

Cole: Still I don't find any reason for him to be doing this, as it states that he can cash in the clause anytime anywhere.

King: But I think, that with that the champions have an extra sense of security. So they want to hurt him so that they don't have him cashing it in on them.

WWE Superstars Preview:

The Debut of WWE Superstars is sure to be a good one as the Superstars of Raw and Smackdown will showcase their talent, on the same show.

After Vickie Guerrero announced that the Intercontinental Title was declared Vacant, Rey Mysterio was traded to Smackdown, for US Champion, M.V.P. In turn Vickie allowed Smackdown to have full control over the Championship. And Teddy Long will have a 16 man Tournament for the title which will culminate on an edition of Smackdown later this month. Facing off in the first opening round match will be two former ECW Superstars Tyson Kidd and Zack Ryder as both will be looking to impress and advance in this tournament.

As for the Raw Side, there will be a Fatal-Four Way Match which will determine one of two challengers, for the United States Championship, Jack Swagger, Evan Bourne, Kofi Kingston and Hurricane Helms will face off in this Fatal Four-Way.

And the Main Event will see the Unified Tag Team Champions Carlito and Primo defend there titles against the newly acquired Briscoe Brothers. It Should Be an Exciting night as the Debut of WWE Superstars airs "Thursday Night".

News and Notes:

As Mentioned Earlier The WWE has agreed to terms with the Briscoe Brothers, the deal will put them on the Smackdown brand and had guaranteed a future Unified Tag Title Shot, which they will use on Superstars. As for Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley they have both been signed and they will be used as The Murder City Machine Guns, until a break up scenario which should happen come Vengeance or The Bash depending on which brand they will compete on.

WWE has not yet reached terms with Tyler Black, however the two parties are still in negotiation. Aswell the WWE has been in contact with two other indy stars, as they have contacted both Chris Hero and Eddie Kingston. However nothing has developped concerning contracts.

[Millar]

I liked how who you put over, and how you presented it. Especially the Legacy giving Cena a good spanking.

[God]

A really well written first show that established several members of the roster and their rough pecking order. Michaels getting the win was a big plus. Good work and I hope you keep it up.

*Kidd Celebrates and Walks to the back*

JR: What a despicable act by the Hart Dynasty, they beat Zack Ryder to a pulp here tonight.

King: Well JR, you gotta do what you gotta do.

JR: But not like that King I mean, first Kidd exposed the turnbuckle, then they used an illegal Double Team Manuver to finish Ryder off. How can you say what you just said King based on what happened.

King: I can because I have the freedom of Free Speech and I think that The Hart Dynasty, capatilized on their opportunities tonight. And that's my opinion JR and you can't take that away from me.

JR: Well King you have me there, anyway let's head to the back where Josh Matthews is with Hurricane Helms.

Josh: Now Hurricane, You have a match here tonight against Three Other Superstars where the winner will face MVP and one other opponent, your thoughts on you opponents?

Helms: Well Josh tonight I face Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne and Jack Swagger. Now Jack Swagger is a former ECW Champion, but he talks with a lisp I mean What's up with that. Bourne and Kingston have similar styles, there highflyers. But none of the three Superstars in that ring can compare, to the might of Hurricane Helms and I will prove that tonight. I'm just saying

JR: Confident Words from Hurricane Helms King.

King: But who can really take him seriously, he pretending to be like a superhero or something, I liked him much better as Gregory Helms, where he was the longest reigning Cruiserweight Champion ever.

JR: Well King, that's definatly something that you and the fans will never agree on. But now it's time for Raw's Fatal Four Way Match, It Should be a great Match with four Great Superstars.

Fatal Four Way Number 1 Contendership for the United States Championship:

Jack Swagger vs Evan Bourne vs Kofi Kingston vs Hurricane Helms

Closing Moments: Swagger and Bourne have been Fighting each other all match while Hurricane and Kingston have been paired off. Kingston and Swagger have the momentum and they both send Bourne and Helms to the outside. Kofi and Swagger then start trading punches in the center of the ring. Swagger's punches have more to them and after a couple trades he gains the upper hand drilling Kofi with right hands, Swagger sends Kofi off the ropes and waits for Kofi to come back at him but Kofi just hangs on to the ropes. Swagger charges at him and Clotheslines Kofi to the floor. However once he turns around, Swagger is met by Helms who delivers a Shining wizard. The ref refuses to make the count as Swagger's arm is under the ropes. Helms Starts to argue with the ref which gives Bourne enough time to recover and head to the top rope where he delivers an SSP to Swagger. Bourne tosses Helms out and pins Swagger to pick up the win.

Justin Roberts: The Winner of this Match and Now Qualified for The United States Championship Match at Backlash, Evan Bourne.

JR: A great win for Evan Bourne tonight in an extremely tough match featuring four of the best young competitors in the WWE.

King: Are you kidding me JR, Jack Swagger was obviously robbed in this match. He had the thing under control, until that Superhero came in and stopped him.

JR: What are you talking about King, if anyone was robbed it was Hurricane Helms himself, because he hadJack Swagger out cold and could have won the match, but instead Bourne Capatalises and will be going to Backlash no matter what you say King.

*Cuts To Eve Torres, she is with the Colons*

Eve: I'm here with the Colon brothers. Now up next you two will defend your Unified Tag Team Titles against the newly acquired Briscoe Brothers. Now do you guys feel that you will be able to defeat a team who you have never seen or faced in a match before. Are you worried.

Carlito: Why should we be worried we're the Unified Tag Team Champions, and we aren't afraid of this new team. If we we're we would have never won these tag team titles in the first place. Now Primo and I are going to dominate the tag team division. And hold these titles for a long Time.

Primo: Now that's cool.

Carlito: Primo, you got to stop stealing my lines alright, now lets go.

*The two head out to the ring*

JR: And I'm Jim Ross goodnight everybody, and I hope you all tune into Smackdown tommorow night. Goodnight.

[Rated-TED]

i like so far what im seeing tbh, RAW was ace, esp to see the challenger position to the WWE title still open, though my only fear is if you leave it to late, how will you build it up? on the other hand, the suspense of it could be good also, and leaves everything in the open.

Superstars was very nice too, esp new tag team champs, that was a suprise. The Briscoes have huge potential, and youve made them out to be a big threat so soon , so kudos

And lastly, i hope you use sabin an shelley to perfection, their incredible atheletes with masisve potemtial, unfortuantley TNA contonues to underus ethem in favour of broken stars like Nash and Steiner, so make sure you use them well

Il be reading

[Goldberg]

seems intresting not sure about the colons dropping the titles like straight away but its your btb will read smackdown

[fanofwrestling]

Thanks for your insight guys, and the Smackdown Preview should be up either Later Today or Tommorow.

WWE News:

Contract Negotiations we're successful and Tyler Black and the WWE Have Reached an agreement. The Contract will be around 1 year and it will give the WWE Time to evaluate his prior matches and see what he will be able to do.

Aswell look for two FCW Superstars to make their debuts on Smackdown against one another. There is no word on who the superstars will be however the speculation is that it will be Tyler Reks and Sheamus, however nothing is for sure.

Also Raw GM Vickie Guerrero is expected to name the second contender for the United States Championship at Backlash aswell as one huge match that will see the return of a former Superstar.

Again, thanks for the comments I will be commenting on your BTB's in the future.
