WWE: Way It Should've Gone

[Deleted]

June 16 2016

Alberto Del Rio began SmackDown explaining his actions, and said that Sami Zayn not only took the Intercontinental Championship away from him, but that he also took the opportunity away from Del Rio to become world champion again. Alberto declares war when Sami Zayn came out and Del Rio cowered as far back as he could. Sami would share his words, including his discontentment with his main event against Bray on Raw. Sami tells Stephanie he'd be willing to put his title on the line to get a shot at Bray. The Wyatts came out and Bray said he doesn't want the Intercontinental Championship, that he has something better waiting for him, and Bray held up his briefcase. Daniel Bryan then came out and said after all Bray's caused, he needs to give up that briefcase, because he's not what a world champion stands for. This entices Stephanie out of her office and she assured nothing would be on the line tonight. Stephanie however made a main event for later tonight, Daniel Bryan and Sami Zayn taking on the team of Alberto Del Rio and Bray Wyatt.

The New Day had their second chance against The Ascension after what happened on Raw, and this time Kofi Kingston competed instead of Xavier Woods. However, this wasn't much better, as The Ascension hit Fall of Man on Big E and beat the former champions for a second time in one week.

Divas Champion Charlotte had to take on Becky Lynch and when Natalya's music hit and she came to the ring, Charlotte fled. This caused for Becky Lynch to win via count out. Becky, who wasn't too happy, rolled out of the ring and got into an argument with Natalya over ruining her opportunity to pin the Divas Champion in a non-title match.

Dolph Ziggler cut a promo of how he would win the United States Championship from Neville this Monday, and continues on this agenda where it should be him to take the title from Neville. This leads into a segway where the commentators advertise Monday's Raw with Samoa Joe's in-ring Raw debut, along with The Dudley Boyz getting even with Finn Balor, while Balor has to choose his partner come Monday.

In the main event, it was Daniel Bryan and Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn teaming up against Alberto Del Rio and Mr. Money in the Bank Bray Wyatt. Bryan and Zayn did well, and even had a moment where Daniel showed respect to Sami Zayn. However, when chaos ensued, Bray was the last to emerge and hit Sister Abigail on Zayn to pin the Intercontinental Champion, the way we close out Thursday Night SmackDown.

The Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View usually held in October has been removed from WWE's PPV Schedule, and is expected to be replaced, as they are still selling tickets for the October event as an "Undisclosed WWE Pay-Per-View Event". Along with this, there are heavy talks of removing the Hell in a Cell Match altogether in WWE, or to hit the refresh button on the match. The match's removal is unconfirmed, but the speculation has come since they've taken the PPV itself off the books.


With the recent signings to WWE's developmental facility, WWE is also thinking about cutting a couple more names in the coming weeks as it pertains to the main roster. It's not knowing if any main roster superstars will be released or not, but only time is going to tell.


One of the more notable signings was former TNA and ROH superstar Kenny King. He's the most likely to get on television the fastest out of all the recent acquisitions, but there's some disconnect with creative as to how to bring Kenny King in. Some want this former Tough Enough contestant Kenny King to go by his name known all around the world, much like Abyss and Samoa Joe have; while others want Kenny to have a total repackaged character with the WWE. Also, the reason Kenny wasn't thrown right into NXT was because WWE reportedly wants Kenny to become a more well-rounded superstar in the ring before they progress.

June 20 2016

Randy Orton headed to the ring to start Raw, his first appearance since losing at Money in the Bank, as he went unconscious to Joe's Coquina Clutch. Orton continued to bring up the wrongdoing of Stephanie with the injury of Seth Rollins and not being stripped of the title, but he also brought up Stephanie's stipulation to his match at Battleground against Samoa Joe, and that she did one thing right, shocking the fans. Orton said Samoa Joe came to the ring and did the unthinkable and knocked him out, and in that case, he's going to bring everything he's got to Battleground on July 17th to make Stephanie McMahon even more scared of what he'll do to Rollins. Samoa Joe headed to the ring and said he felt disrespected by Randy and Stephanie, that somehow him winning at Money in the Bank was an upset and that he couldn't come in and get the job done. Joe suggests Randy watch his match tonight against Jeff Hardy, and take a ringside seat if he wants, because he'll do the same to Jeff, and maybe Jeff will be smart enough to tap before he naps. Joe drops the mic and turns his back, but Randy chooses not to attack, as Joe's music hits, and the Raw commentary team announces what's in store for tonight.

Neville(c) w/John Cena def. Dolph Ziggler to retain the United States Championship
Few minutes into the match, John Cena decided to jump in the corner of Neville's, and Neville was able to top Ziggler in an athletic match after the Red Arrow followed the roundhouse kick.

Renee Young interviews The Dudley Boyz before their match later tonight against Finn Balor and a mystery opponent. Bubba Ray went through the list of who Finn could possibly pick for his partner tonight, but it wouldn't help him. D-Von interceded and said he thinks it's Jeff Hardy, despite Hardy wrestling Joe later tonight, because that's the only mentally insane patient in the WWE locker room that could possibly find some level of common ground with Balor. D-Von promised a win tonight for The Dudley Boyz, launching themselves back into the tag title picture.

The Ascension def. The Vaudevillians
The Ascension were put to a test with The Vaudevillians, but overcame that with the Fall of Man on Simon, continuing an impressive streak that began last week against The New Day.

John Cena was backstage with United States Champion Neville, and Cena was hyped after Neville silenced Dolph Ziggler earlier tonight. Neville then calmed Cena down and said with respect that he didn't need to come down to the ring, and he appreciates the opportunity that Cena's given him, but it's better that Cena doesn't be in his corner again. Cena, stunned, nods in agreement and lets Neville walk off.

After The Dudley Boyz come to the ring, we see the entrance of Finn Balor, but he stays on the ringpost when music hits and the bold letters appear on the screen "HIDEO ITAMI" as Itami has come to the WWE! Itami heads down as The Dudley Boyz were totally caught off guard and unprepared for anyone but Jeff Hardy. Hideo Itami gets in the ring with Finn Balor and they shake hands, as they've come back together once again.

Finn Balor and Hideo Itami def. The Dudley Boyz
The two friends reunited as Finn Balor picked up the win with a Coup de Grace on D-Von, but Hideo Itami contributed quite a bit to this victory.

Stephanie McMahon exits her office upset and before she could make her way down the hall, she's bombarded by Alberto Del Rio who demands his rematch for the Intercontinental Championship. Stephanie doesn't take the demand lightly, as she places Del Rio in a match tonight against Braun Strowman! Stephanie then says by the look of Del Rio's face, which is boiling with anger, that she'll make it next, as Del Rio walks away at the commercial break.

Braun Strowman def. Alberto Del Rio
In a match put together by Stephanie, Del Rio faded to the lifting arm triangle choke of Strowman's.

Charlotte came to the ring and talked poorly of Natalya and her sportsmanship after last week's action on Charlotte's best friend Paige. Natalya came out and responded, but Charlotte left the ring as Natalya grabbed a mic and explained herself. Natalya made it clear she wants another match for the Divas Championship, a fair one without Paige or Ric Flair. And from behind, Paige attacked Natalya and put her into the PTO as Charlotte got back in the ring, laughing and holding the Divas Championship at her face. Paige would let go after enough was enough, and her and the Divas Champion would leave Natalya in the ring.

Stephanie McMahon is headed back to her office when she finds Randy Orton, and she suggests to Orton that he should take Samoa Joe up on his offer, and that Orton should catch a front row seat to Samoa Joe's match tonight with Jeff Hardy.

Brie Bella def. Becky Lynch
In a match with a respectful handshake from the beginning, Brie's Yes Lock was enough to make Becky Lynch want to give up.

Kalisto w/Sin Cara def. Sheamus
Kalisto got revenge for him and Sin Cara by rolling through and pinning Sheamus, and Sin Cara got in the ring to celebrate, but Sheamus Brogue Kicked Kalisto, and then turned his attention to Sin Cara, where the medical staff had to attend to Sin Cara's shoulder.

Advertised for this Thursday's SmackDown is Natalya getting a match against Paige, along with the match from Stephanie's office that Alberto Del Rio will have his hands full with Big Show.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are backstage talking of how they wanted to compete tonight, when The Ascension come up. The Ascension says they've beaten The New Day, twice, last week and they also beat The Vaudevillians tonight, and warned Ambrose and Reigns they're coming for them. Dean then got him and Roman into a tag team match next Monday on Raw, and if The Ascension can do more than just look like the Legion of Doom, they'll have a title match down the line.

Samoa Joe def. Jeff Hardy
In Samoa Joe's in-ring debut on Monday Night Raw, along with his opponent at Battleground ringside for this match, Joe was able to make a former world champion submit, Jeff Hardy succumbing to the Coquina Clutch.

Before Samoa Joe could even get up, Randy Orton had grabbed the steel chair he was sitting in and smashed it over Joe's back. Orton would be relentless with the chair before it was warped. Orton then threw it down and stalked Joe for an RKO, but Samoa Joe wisely dropped and rolled out of the ring, as they stared down each other with distance as Raw goes off the air.

Busy Thursday Night?

Natalya and Paige finally went down, but Natalya couldn't capture a win, thanks to Charlotte's involvement, getting on the apron and taking a punch to the face for the bigger picture, Paige then hitting a Paige-Turner on Natalya to win the match.

Stephanie McMahon addressed her displeasure with Finn Balor, telling him that any non-WWE talent he chose, it should've been ran by her first, and that Hideo Itami is not a contracted wrestler. Stephanie would make a match tonight, and if Itami won, he could be on the main roster. Hideo would later lose that night to Samoa Joe, passing out to the Coquina Clutch.

After The Ascension was able to beat the Lucha Dragons, they took to the mic to talk of how big of an opportunity it will be to wrestle the WWE Tag Team Champions on Raw, and they promise that Ambrose and Reigns days as champions are numbered.

Alberto Del Rio and Big Show had their match tonight, and Braun Strowman would actually come down to the ring and this would serve as a distraction as Del Rio hit a Backstabber and then while Show was still on his knees, hit a Superkick to beat the Greatest Giant of All-Time.

June 27 2016

Samoa Joe began tonight's episode of Raw with the NXT Championship proudly on his shoulder. He mentions he'll be defending the championship this Friday at a NXT Takeover special against Shinsuke Nakamura, but then he dives into his match against Randy Orton at Battleground. Joe says he hears the whispers that it was a fluke, but it wasn't. He said everyone fears that he can do the exact same thing again to Randy Orton, and he's getting no respect. Joe promises to beat Nakamura at NXT Takeover and he'll beat Randy Orton (again) at Battleground, when Orton responds. Randy tells Joe he came out last week and gave him his due for beating him at Money in the Bank, but Randy says Joe will have to kill him to win at Battleground. Samoa Joe interrupted and said "Don't you know like the rest Joe's gonna kill you?", and this starts the famous chant from the Samoa Joe fans. Orton then sucker punches Samoa Joe and the two have to be separated by security, but it's too much as even superstars have to come out and separate these two.

Randy Orton def. Rusev w/Lana
A match made during the commercial by Stephanie McMahon, Orton puts Rusev away with an RKO, but doesn't stop there and after he's already won, he goes back for one more RKO on Rusev before finally leaving.

The commentators talk about the second match made during the commercial, that later tonight, Samoa Joe will have his hands full with Ryback later on. Then we go backstage where Stephanie McMahon is in her office and the Lucha Dragons walk in. Kalisto is vouching for he and Sin Cara to get their hands on Sheamus tonight, and Stephanie said she's normally against handicap matches against a cohesive tag team, but considering how Sheamus has dominated here lately against the Lucha Dragons, she'll make it official.

Luke Harper w/Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan def. Curtis Axel
Luke with the discus clothesline put Axel away.

WWE Divas Champion Charlotte came to the ring with Paige, and the champ finally addressed Natalya's pursuit for her gold. Charlotte said she'd be happy to give Natalya another opportunity at her title, but unfortunately, Natalya tapped out, and that's not what she feels a true champion should do, is to submit. Natalya then walks out and asks if what Charlotte said was true, and that it was, she'd have no problem putting the title on the line against her in a Submission Match. Charlotte said Natalya misunderstood, and that there are more deserving women in the locker room. Charlotte mentioned Becky Lynch, she mentioned Brie Bella, and even pointed beside her to Paige. Natalya said she can beat all of them and prove she's the rightful #1 contender. Charlotte laughed and accepted those odds, and said she'll see them all Thursday on SmackDown. As Charlotte followed Paige out of the ring, Natalya pulled Charlotte back and to the mat, trying to lock in the Sharpshooter, but Paige aids Charlotte out of it and the two escape.

Backstage, Stephanie McMahon is approached by Finn Balor and Hideo Itami. Stephanie, insulted that Hideo is backstage, demands for security, but Balor says that Hideo Itami was in an unfair predicament last week and he's one of the best wrestlers in the world. Finn asks for another chance for his friend Hideo to make it onto the main roster, and after Stephanie calmed down, she agreed Hideo could. She said she's booked one handicap match tonight, and wouldn't mind another, as Hideo Itami goes against The Dudley Boyz. Stephanie then looks at Finn Balor and tells him he can go be in Hideo's corner.

Sheamus def. Lucha Dragons
In one of two handicap matches tonight, the Celtic Warrior overcame odds by Brogue Kicking Sin Cara to victory, but would aim to cause more damage to Cara's shoulder, a scary situation that Kalisto prevented.

Paige and Charlotte were leaving the arena when Becky Lynch asked what they were doing. Becky asked them if they got the memo, and when the answer was no, she informed them of a team PBC reunion, that it is Becky and Paige against Natalya and Brie Bella.

The Dudley Boyz def. Hideo Itami w/Finn Balor via disqualification
Finn could not take the Dudley Boyz taking advantage of Itami's shoulder issues in the past and climbed to the top for a dropkick and ended with Coup de Grace on D-Von, and it wasn't until the ring announcer declared the winners that Finn knew what he did, and tried apologizing to Hideo.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are backstage when William Regal makes an appearance and the crowd loves it. Regal wishes the duo luck, but tells them to be careful tonight against The Ascension because they are the most dominant tag team he's seen in NXT's history. However, Regal is reminded of The Shield and that they're the current WWE Tag Team Champions. Doesn't appear the champions are too worried.

Brie Bella and Natalya def. Becky Lynch and Paige
With the Divas Champion backstage watching on the monitor, Brie picks up the win, applying the Yes Lock to Paige who quickly taps.

Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn was in an interview when asked about Stephanie stamping her approval, and though Zayn appreciated it, he's not in it for Stephanie's approval. Sami was asked about SmackDown and Zayn says he's getting his hands on Bray Wyatt, that he'll enjoy every minute of it.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns def. The Ascension
Konnor and Viktor tried to continue their rise in the tag team division, but their hot streak was stopped by Roman's Superman Punch and Dirty Deeds on Viktor, but Reigns also had to pull out a second Superman Punch on Konnor to win.

The commentators hype up SmackDown for this Thursday, which features a fatal-4 way to determine a #1 contender for Charlotte's title, an encounter with Zayn and Wyatt, as well as The Ascension in action tying to get back on track.

Samoa Joe vs. Ryback ends in a no contest
This match ends in a no contest after Randy Orton came down mid-match, Joe came outside to initiate a second brawl, ending tonight's Raw episode.
