——————————————–
Overall – I was telling a friend the other day that I fear for this Wrestlemania being like the 25th anniversary PPV where there are high calibur matches but all were weak in the actual match, this turns out to almost be just like it and like the 25th WM, it was the Undertaker’s Streak match that saved the day
I suspect that the second Rock/Cena match wouldn’t be as alluring as last year’s WM as everyone thought it was just going to be the “Once In A Lifetime”, oh how the WWE love to play with us, not to mention I hear that Rock might get involved in the build up to Wrestlemania 30
I really think that the Undertaker’s Streak has gone on for long enough, Taker should have retired it at 20-0 but I hear that Taker was in need of some funding so they gave him this match as a jackpot for him, I watched on TV not long ago that Taker was coming to the UK on the WM Revenge Tour for the first time in 4 years, as nice is that was, he should really retire his career if he is to not do himself too much damage as he is getting quite old now

——————————
Overall – I didn’t think that this was a good PPV, it had it’s moment but as a whole, it was okay, the second Rock/Punk match wasn’t as great as the first match back at the Royal Rumble and the fact that there was only one Elimination Chamber match really angered me a little
The 6 man tag was something different, The Shield winning was something I didn’t expected but liked it, Roman Reigns really shined in that match out of the 3 members of Shield, he truly showed potential and that big spear through the wall with Shemaus was painful to watch, it was almost like a Gore Gore Gore from Rhino, it just had so much power behind it!
Anyway, the chamber match that was shown was decent, Jack Swagger winning was something I was 50/50 about, I guess they would push him eventually since he almost wanted to quit WWE from lack of use of his talents as of late, let’s hope they actually give me some serious momentum towards WrestleMania against Del Rio….

Match 4b – CM Punk vs The Rock (WWE Title)
Winner – The Rock
——————————
Overall – A pretty predictable result for this PPV but nevertheless, I enjoyed it, had it’s moments in all of the matches although the tag team title match was pretty much just a filler to prepare for the main event that is the Royal Rumble match
I wouldn’t have minded who won the Royal Rumble but in the back of my head, I just knew that John Cena would win it, he himself said that 2013 will be the year of Cena, thus the WWE make him the superhuman to make him dominate, plenty of surprises during the match too including Kofi Kingston once again defying the usual laws of the RR match by avoiding to touch the floor with excellent athleticism
The Rock/Punk match was predictable for me, I knew Rock would win it, otherwise there would be no point for him to go full time until Wrestlemania, so this title win for him will give me something to go back and give a reason to go full time till Mania….

Match 6 – CM Punk vs John Cena vs Ryback (Triple Threat for WWE Title)
Winner – CM Punk
————————————
Overall – That was a good PPV, not a strong one but a enjoyable nevertheless, this might be a build up to another NXT like invasion of the WWE after 3 members of the show invaded the PPV and took out Ryback allowing Punk to pin Cena to keep the belt, a bit odd but I’m sure WWE will carry this over with a backstory…. Hopefully a good one at that…. I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be another Nexus, as much as I liked the whole plot of it, it didn’t end well or on a high note
Other than that, the PPV was almost a complete Heel victory which makes a change, and a refreshing one at that, lets hope WWE keeps that momentum going…. Probably not but heck, a man can dream right?

Results
———————————————-
The pre-show was mainly about John Cena on about the AJ scandal but then gets attacked by Dolph Ziggler and knocks him out of the ring, so naught really of interest….
Match 1 – Randy Orton vs Alberto Del Rio
Winner – Randy Orton
Match 2 – Daniel Bryan & Kane vs Rhodes Scholars (WWE Tag Titles)
Winners – Rhodes Scholars via DQ so Team Hell No retain the titles
Match 3 – Kofi Kingston vs The Miz (Intercontinental Title)
Winner – Kofi Kingston
Match 4 – Antonio Cesaro vs Justin Gabriel (US Title)
Winner – Antonio Cesaro
Match 5 – Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara vs Prime Time Players
Winners – Team Rey
Match 6 – Sheamus vs Big Show (World Heavyweight Title)
Winner – Big Show
Match 7 – Eve vs Layla vs Kaitlyn (Triple Threat for Divas title)
Winner – Eve
Match 8 – CM Punk vs Ryback (Hell in a Cell match for WWE title)
Winner – CM Punk (after the referee got involved and low-blowed Ryback, allowing a cheap win)
———————————-
Overall – It was a decent PPV but the end of the Ryback/Punk match was utter BS, seriously, the match only lasted under 11 1/2 minutes, not exactly a proper main event or the ending to one, the best match in my view was Sheamus/Big Show match, that had good story behind it and was shocking to see Big Show win it but also that Dolph Ziggler never cashed in his MITB case.
I just hope WWE know what they are doing with Ryback come monday on RAW coz that match wasn’t good at all, the crowd in the PPV wasn’t much involved with the whole event so didn’t have the right atmosphere from start to finish

Pre-show match – Battle Royal for #1 contender to US Title
Winner – Zack Ryder
Match 1 – The Miz vs Cody Rhodes vs Sin Cara vs Rey Mysterio (IC Title)
Winner – The Miz
Match 2 – Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs Kane & Daniel Bryan (Tag Team Titles)
Winner – Kane & Daniel Bryan
Match 3 – Antonio Cesaro vs Zack Ryder (US Title)

Match 5 – Layla vs Eve (Divas Title)
Winner – Eve
Match 6 – Sheamus vs Alberto Del Rio (World Title Match)
Winner – Sheamus
Match 7 – CM Punk vs John Cena (WWE Title)
Winner – Draw (Both wrestlers had their shoulders on the mat during Cena’s german suplex bridge thus CM Punk remains champion)
——————————-
Overall – A good PPV, some shaky matches with most of them having slow starts but the Cena/Punk match was another display of great wrestling and story telling skill, the ending with a draw really did puzzle me but that does make Punk still to champion for another day
I don’t know if anyone else noticed but during the Orton/Ziggler match, you ever noticed that Randy Orton actually stuck up his middle fingers just before he goes to prepping the RKO, he did apologize on Twitter so he might just get a slap on the wrist

Match 2 – Daniel Bryan vs Kane
Winner – Daniel Bryan

Match 6 – C.M Punk vs Big Show vs John Cena (WWE Title)
Winner – C.M Punk
Match 7 – Brock Lesnar vs Triple H (No DQ/Countout)
Winner – Brock Lesnar
———————————
Overall – This was a good SummerSlam, not fantastic but was very watchable, all matches had plenty of highs and lows so I can’t really say which match was the best, some results were surprising however in my opinion such as the HHH/Brock match, I thought that Brock was going to be one of these heels where he dominates during the shows but looses on PPVs so it will be interesting how this plays out….

Match 1 – Sheamus & Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara vs Chris Jericho & Dolph Ziggler & Del Rio
Winner – Team Sheamus
Match 2 – Jack Swagger vs Brodus Clay
Winner – Brodus Clay
Match 3 – Christian vs The Miz (Intercontinental Title match)
Winner – The Miz
Match 4 – Heath Slater vs Lita (And pretty much every other legend he faced over the past several weeks, No DQ and No Count-out)
Winner – Lita
Match 5 – CM Punk vs John Cena (WWE Title)
Winner – John Cena via DQ (Punk retains title)
—————————
Overall – This was quite a action packed special show, the matches didn’t really do much for the show but I think it was a very good show, so many superstars from past and present turned up from the DX reunion (All members except Chyna) to all the legends that Heath Slater fought, to AJ/Daniel’s wedding going down in flames with AJ turning out to be the next GM of RAW, The Rock returning and announcing that he will be facing the WWE champion at next year’s Royal Rumble PPV for the title and even the Undertaker returning to help Kane and having a Brothers of Destruction reunion.
Also RAW has had a new arena set-up and theme song so looks like RAW has changed almost completely, no longer a SuperShow (Thank god!), HHH and Brock Lesnar’s match at SummerSlam is now official so thats another match to the PPV. There was no Stone Cold sadly as he was apparently recovering from surgery so get well soon Steve Austin, also John Cena was the first superstar to have cashed in Money in the Bank and lost it via Big Show attacking him and then we have a possible CM Punk heel turn after he attacked The Rock after his match with Cena, alot went on in this week’s show, from this week onwards, RAW will now become a 3 hour show, let’s hope WWE know what they are doing with all this….

Match 7 – John Cena vs Chris Jericho vs Big Show vs Kane vs The Miz (Raw Money in the Bank)
Winner – John Cena
—————————
Overall – Most of the matches were predictable but still enjoyable nevertheless, the Smackdown MITB was very off putting with several hiccups but good to see how WWE plays Ziggler after this, the Raw MITB match couldn’t be anymore predictable, put it simply, a match John Cena in it that involves a possible title or related match, there is a extremely high chance of him winning it but it was still good. In terms of Punk/Bryan, that was quite a match, I did honestly think that Bryan would win it, I just hope that this AJ plot doesn’t continue for much longer, it’s getting old very fast!

——————————
Overall – It was a good PPV but thats all it is, good, about half of the matches were misses, but the important matches were good and thats really all that mattered, the triple threat was interesting, AJ only took part right at the end and the to see Vince say those two words to Laurinaitis was fresh air, really disliked the guy ahahaha!
