WWE Royal Rumble 25.01.2015 Philadelphia, PA
1. WWE Tag Titles: Rowan & Harper (c) (w/ Paige) def. Justin Gabriel & Tyson Kidd (w/ Natalya) (12 mins) Gabriel and Kidd are doing well as a tag team, despite being around for just a bit now, but they are facing the most dominant champions that the WWE had in quite a while. The Wyatts need to get revenge after Survivor Series and are aware of the challengers' potential, so Rowan pins Gabriel with a powerslam to retain the titles
2. WWE IC Title: Rusev (c) (w/ Lana) def. Big Show (7 mins) After defeating Kane, Rusev now has Show in front of him and the willing to show that no big man can beat him. Show pinned Rusev at the Series and Rusev for once seems to be a bit intimidated, but Lana's tactics always help him. Rusev stops the chokeslam, can't get Show up for a suplex but debuts the machka kick to win
3. WWE World Title: Brock Lesnar (c) (w/ Paul Heyman) def. John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) and Seth Rollins (w/ Authority) (23 mins) Cena gets a shot at his rival Lesnar, but the Authority also gives a chance to Rollins as he won the main event of TLC. Rollins' role is to instigate his opponents and try to steal the win. This was actually a great match and I am happy to keep it on the card. Cena wants to finish Rollins with the FU, but Lesnar stops him and hits Cena with the FU to win
4. Royal Rumble Match: Daniel Bryan wins by last eliminating Roman Reigns (61 minutes) Participants: Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Claudio Castagnoli, Big E, Fandango, Kofi Kingston, Jamie Noble, Diamond Dallas Page, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, Jack Swagger, Sin Cara, Titus O'Neil, Cody Rhodes, Zack Ryder, Billy Gunn, Kane, Joe Hennig, Sheamus, Goldust, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Primo, Epico, R-Truth, Road Dogg, Wade Barrett, Daniel Bryan and Damien Sandow Ziggler is #1 and the MVP of the match, lasting 40 minutes before Castagnoli throws him out. Cody and Goldust cost each other the match in the central part of the contest. Wyatt is in as #27 and seems up to no good, but John Cena arrives on the stage and starts a brawl. Ambrose and Reigns work together of course and do really well, while Bryan makes his long awaited return. Final four: #14 Castagnoli, #20 Bryan, #24 Ambrose, #28 Reigns. Castagnoli is exhausted and Reigns eliminates him. Ambrose is next and Bryan throws him out shortly after. Reigns and Bryan have a long final segment and Reigns misses the spear, gets caught in the ropes and Bryan kicks him out with a buisaku knee

WWE Fastlane 22.02.2015 Memphis, TN
1. Tyson Kidd (w/ Natalya) def. Sin Cara (w/ Rosa Mendes) (12 mins) This can be an energetic opener, as they have already feuded when Cara first debuted in the WWE. Now his appeal is pretty much gone, after the tag reign and feud with Mysterio, so here he can put Kidd over and return the favour. The masked wrestler still does well here, but Kidd wins with the fisherman neckbreaker
2. The Usos (w/ Tamina) def. Los Matadores (w/ El Torito) (7 mins) The ruthless Usos are definitely more convincing than the happy-go-lucky version we had, which is ironically how their relative Rock (and Reigns?) started in the company. Primo and Epico take it more easy with their silly gimmick, which infuriates the heels. Jimmy pins Primo after hitting a samoan drop on him
3. Cody Rhodes def. Goldust (10 mins) This match is not at 'Mania because: 1) it sucked at Fastlane as the chemistry and momentum wasn't there; 2) this can be used as a storyline element during Cody's return. I mean, my version wouldn't really suck because there's no Stardust silliness, but Cody here is "The American Nightmare", gets really cold and proves to be a troublemaker, despite growing up surrounded by love, while his brother wasn't. Cody goes over with the cross rhodes
4. The Wyatt Family (w/ Paige) def. The New Day (w/ Naomi) (13 mins) The New Day would hopefully get popular really quick, skipping their heel phase, thanks to some good wrestling and their over the top personalities. They are a natural opposition to the Wyatts, who have a completely different attitude. As usual, Wyatt stays out of the match, but then tags in to finish Woods with a DDT
5. WWE IC Title: Rusev (c) (w/ Lana) def. Dean Ambrose by CO (11 mins) Rusev is so proud of himself and says he's the baddest man in the WWE, but this triggers Ambrose, who dares him to defeat a man that doesn't care about pain or consequences. Rusev is not scared of Ambrose, but worried about the fact that nothing seems to stop is assaults. They brawl outside the ring and Lana holds Ambrose by an ankle, making Rusev win by countout
6. Roman Reigns def. Daniel Bryan (w/ Brie Bella) (20 mins) This was a great match and the first time Reigns had a really good singles match, plus Bryan is about to take a long break and it only makes sense that he puts Reigns over. It's a face vs. face match after the Rumble showdown, the Authority hope that they can damage each other and both miss 'Mania. HHH is on commentary and watches Reigns while he hits the spear and wins the match
7. Street Fight: Dolph Ziggler, John Cena & Randy Orton (w/ Nikki Bella and Dutch Mantell) def. Triple H, Seth Rollins & Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Stephanie McMahon and Layla) (17 mins) A lot of factors in this match: Ziggler/Claudio, Ziggler/Authority, Ziggler/Rollins, Cena/Authority, Cena/Claudio, Cena and Orton tagging, Orton/HHH, Orton/Rollins, HHH coaching Rollins etc. I think they would do a great job with a bit of time and the right stipulation, especially in a city like Memphis that loves these kind of brawls. Cena hits Claudio with the FU to win the match for his team

WWE WrestleMania 31 29.03.2015 Santa Clara, CA
1. WWE IC Title Ladder Match: Dean Ambrose def. Rusev (c) (w/ Lana), Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger (w/ Dutch Mantell), Sin Cara (w/ Rosa Mendes) and Tyson Kidd (w/ Natalya) (14 mins) I liked the idea of bringing back a Ladder Match on 'Mania, as losing the MITB was quite a problem in terms of attraction. The main storyline in this is of course Rusev/Ambrose, but we also got the minor story of Kidd/Cara, Swagger that is always up there and a fresh heel in Rhodes. Multi men ladder matches strive on different styles and we have enough here. Rusev and Ambrose get the final segment of the match, Cody tries to interfere but Ambrose throws Rusev off the ladder into Rhodes, so they both crash a table and Ambrose grabs the title to win it
2. Randy Orton def. Seth Rollins (w/ Stephanie McMahon) (12 mins) This was nice too, Orton is back with a vengeance and determined to show the Authority that Rollins is not better than him and that he should have been the chosen one all along. Really liked this phase of Rollins being a "corporate climber" heel and with Stephanie always by his side. They finally collide in a singles match and this showed potential, even though it was kept shorter than what it could have been for obvious reasons. The result and that nice RKO also stay of course, it was a cool moment, and Orton gets a really important victory
3. 2/3 Falls Match: Dolph Ziggler def. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) (17 mins) Their feud collides here, it's been a feud more based on competitiveness rather than the usual schemes, as they both want to prove that they are the future of the business. The difference is that Ziggler proves to be mature and ready for a new challenge, while Claudio doesn't mind cheating if any occasion arises. After a series of matches, the 2/3 falls is the right way to settle the score, no more stipulations needed. They are given time and Ziggler escapes the ricola, hitting a superkick and collapsing on Claudio's body for the 3 count
4. No Holds Barred Match: Roman Reigns def. Triple H (w/ Stephanie McMahon) (13 mins) No reason to overpush Reigns like they did, when his skills are not fully developed and crowd rejected his push. Him and HHH have been at war since the Authority got the Shield to disband by stealing Rollins. Reigns has defeated both Batista and Orton, HHH refuses to come back to the ring for months but finally accepts after getting weeks and weeks of insults from Reigns. The stipulation should help and no, they don't need 30 minutes at all. HHH gets back his beloved sledgehammer, but Reigns hits a spear and pins HHH to win the match
5. WWE Tag Titles: Big E & Kofi Kingston (w/ Naomi and Xavier Woods) def. Rowan & Harper (c) (w/ Paige) and The Usos (w/ Tamina) (11 mins) Rowan and Harper have had a really dominant and convincing run, while the Usos have been heels for a few months and embrace a wilder and meaner side. This leaves the crowd to cheer for the New Day, who wouldn't try to get cheap heat but is mainly run by Kingston's likability that helps getting his partners over with him. It's a deep and busy card, so here we can get a shorter but action packed match. Big E gets the hot tag from Kofi and in the end lifts Rowan up for the stretch muffler and pins him to win the titles for his group
6. I Quit Match: John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Bray Wyatt (w/ Paige) (12 mins) This was built for lack of alternatives to be honest, but their series of matches wasn't nearly as bad as most of the things Wyatt has done since then. After months of mind games, Wyatt finally dares Cena to an I Quit Match, claiming that he will never lose one as his relationship with pain is actually good. This sees the managers leave the ringside area after a bit due to the violence, as Wyatt won't quit no matter what. Cena uses some creativity, like using the turnbuckle with Umaga or tying Batista's ankles in the previous years, and strips Wyatt of all his gimmicks and redneck clothes, pointing out like he's just the neglected, fat and weird son of IRS after all, not the superhuman he thinks he is. He basically created a sadistic and interesting persona because he's not good enough. Even Paige looks at Wyatt like he's been lying to her all along. Wyatt keeps fighting, but can't handle the mind games and quits after a STFU
7. The Undertaker def. Sting (10 mins) Doing Sting vs. HHH put me off in a way that I can't even explain, especially for the way the handled WCW and Sting joining the nWo during the match because reasons? Sting vs. Taker is the dream match, yes it won't be the same as 1997, but it can't be worse than what they actually did (Taker vs. Wyatt included). Taker seems ready to retire after the streak ending the previous year, but Sting debuts him and tells him not to, because the match they all wanted can finally happen. Taker insists on staying retired, but Sting does all he can to change his mind: let's have the baseball bat, a fake Sting involved, Taker bringing the druids, Sting coming from the rafters to jump Taker only for the lights to go down and Taker to escape... all the stuff that would have made this epic. The match is almost secondary, give them 10 minutes and hope for the best. Taker wins with the tombstone and shows respects to Sting after the match
8. WWE World Title: Seth Rollins (w/ Stephanie McMahon) def. Brock Lesnar (c) (w/ Paul Heyman) and Daniel Bryan (w/ Brie Bella) (18 mins) Lesnar and Bryan can main event 'Mania, which is a huge dream match and what all the fans wanted in 2016 anyway. Lesnar is unbeaten and unbeatable since his 2012 return, while Bryan has overcome all odds and only lost the title due to an injury. Heyman talks down to Bryan for his roots, he had hopes when he started ECW, but at the end realised that bingo halls won't bring you anywhere and sold out to make millions with his beast. Bryan says that maybe nobody can beat Lesnar, but he might: not because of his craft and skills, but he's got nothing to lose, his injuries are still outstanding and he will beat Lesnar or die trying. The Authority support Lesnar of course, but they have a plan and, like at the actual 'Mania 31, Rollins cashes in the MITB. Bryan knees Lesnar to spot an F5 on Rollins, only for Rollins to hit the curb stomp on Bryan to shockingly win the title

WWE Extreme Rules 26.04.2015 Rosemont, IL
1. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Neville def. Tyson Kidd (w/ Natalya), Sin Cara (w/ Summer Rae) and Kalisto (13 mins) This is basically a fatal four way match, with the special rule that pinfalls can take place anywhere. Kidd and Cara are well established by now, but we also have the heel Kalisto and the babyface Neville debuting here on a main roster PPV. This should be a quick and fun opener, Neville pins Cara with the 450 splash
2. Submission Match: Jack Swagger def. Cody Rhodes (w/ Brandi) (12 mins) Swagger loses Mantell but keeps his patriotic gimmick, facing the American Nightmare who criticizes the fans. Brandi can get good heat and so I might as well pair her up with her husband here. Swagger gets the ankle lock and Rhodes taps quickly, simply to avoid the pain and prefers to walk away without an injury
3. WWE IC Title Chicago Street Fight: Dean Ambrose (c) def. Rusev (w/ Lana) (13 mins) After the title change at 'Mania, Rusev complains that he lost the IC Title in a crowded ladder match and dares Ambrose to beat him one on one, as the Russian is still undefeated. Ambrose is the underdog somehow, simply because of the size difference, but comes back in a great way and pins Rusev after the dirty deeds
4. WWE Tag Titles Stretcher Match: Kofi Kingston & Big E (c) def. Rowan & Harper (11 mins) Another rematch for champions that just lost their titles on 'Mania, while Wyatt and Paige are nowhere to be found after the loss against Cena at the PPV. To keep it fair, New Day are dared to leave Woods and Naomi backstage as well. They struggle big time, but E's strength is a key factor and he stretchers Harper to retain
5. Last Man Standing Match: Roman Reigns def. The Big Show (10 mins) After years of being a babyface veteran midcarder with Kane, Show turns heel when the Authority offers him a lot of money to stop Reigns. This was unoffensive to be fair, Show wants to use his punch to keep Reigns down, but Roman is getting stronger and manages to keep Show down for the 10 count after a violent spear
6. #1 Contender No Holds Barred Match: Dolph Ziggler def. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) and John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) (15 mins) Both Ziggler and Castagnoli want a shot after stealing the show at 'Mania, but Cena interjects as he defeated both of them last year and also won at 'Mania, so he wants a chance too. This would hopefully deliver big time, as two of the rising talents face the biggest star of the roster. Cena slams Claudio, who kicks him while he's down just to damage Cena and Ziggler hits the zigzag to win the match
7. WWE World Title Steel Cage Match: Seth Rollins (c) def. Randy Orton (17 mins) Keeping the original main event after the good 'Mania match, logically Orton gets a shot as he defeated Rollins. The storyline, though, sees the Authority a bit torn as Stephanie is a big fan of Rollins, while HHH still prefers Orton despite everything, so they stay neutral decide that the winner here will be the chosen one. Orton plays the babyface here, but this time Rollins hits the curb stomp and manages to escape the cage and retain

WWE Payback 17.05.2015 Baltimore, MD
1. Tyson Kidd (w/ Natalya) def. Neville (11 mins) Kidd's career is pretty much coming to an end soon and the last thing he can do for me is putting Neville over with a good series of matches. Kidd turns heel as he's jealous of the buzz around the British man, who seems on a roll since his debut. Kidd, however, manages to cheat and uses a dirty roll up to steal the victory
2. WWE Tag Titles: Kofi Kingston & Big E (c) (w/ Naomi and Xavier Woods) def. Rowan & Harper, Los Matadores (w/ El Torito) and The Lucha Dragons (w/ Summer Rae) (12 mins) It's a tough defence for New Day, as 3 teams are challenging them. Rowan and Harper are back on the hunt, along with the persistent Matadores and the new team of Kalisto and Cara, now teaming up shortly after Kalisto's debut. The spots are all over the place here, but Kingston hits the trouble in paradise on Epico to retain
3. Cody Rhodes (w/ Brandi) def. Jack Swagger (10 mins) This story is getting personal, because Rhodes mocks Swagger for his patriotism and is happy to have heat, he's the American Nightmare because they all wished they could be like him. Rhodes wrestles the whole match trying to stay away from the ankle lock this time and he does, reversing the hold in the cross rhodes to win
4. Randy Orton def. Roman Reigns (13 mins) One of the things that would have helped Reigns getting over with the crowd would have ironically been a loss or two, especially against somebody established that he already defeated before anyway. Orton is by himself and a loose cannon after the feud with Rollins, he blocks the spear and kicks Reigns low before using the RKO to win the match
5. WWE IC Title Last Man Standing Match: Dean Ambrose (c) def. Rusev (w/ Lana) (12 mins) They won a match each, so now this is the blowoff and the violence in the match is slowly increasing as their feud is lately getting deeper. The stipulation helps Rusev because he's bigger, but Ambrose promises that he will always get up no matter what. It's an open and difficult match, Ambrose gets up at 9 after a bump on a barbed wire table and so he retains
6. John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) (15 mins) A year after their first few matches, Cena and Castagnoli renew their rivalry after what happened at Extreme Rules. The winner will enter last at next month's Elimination Chamber and the loser will enter first, so they both give their all to win. Cena is not 100%, but still manages to pick Claudio up for the FU and then slam him for the victory
7. WWE World Title: Seth Rollins (c) (w/ Authority) def. Dolph Ziggler (17 mins) Ziggler finally gets a title shot and their feud can revolve around the fact that Ziggler had potential but always had to rise above the Authority, while Rollins had success handled to him on a silver platter. It's a long and open match and Ziggler almost gets the victory, but Rollins finds the curb stopm on his opponent and pins him to retains

WWE Elimination Chamber 31.05.2015 Corpus Christi, TX
1. Elimination Chamber Match: The Wyatt Family (w/ Paige) def. The New Day (w/ Naomi) (23 mins) For the first time ever, a Chamber match is a 3 vs. 3 instead of a six way. Harper and Rowan are still fighting New Day over the Tag Titles, while Wyatt finally returns after his 'Mania loss and acts like a simpler version of himself, like when he was just Husky Harris. He enters last and wins by hitting E with a tombstone
2. WWE IC Title: Dean Ambrose (c) draws Cody Rhodes (w/ Brandi) by double DQ (10 mins) Ambrose and Cody meet again, after the violent 2013 feud. Ambrose says Cody spat on everything he was preaching, while Rhodes replies that Ambrose is now a slave of the system he wanted to change. The promos get meaner week by week, so when they fight here the tension is high and the referee has to call the DQ
3. The Lucha Dragons (w/ Summer Rae) def. Los Matadores (w/ El Torito) (7 mins) A bit of showcase for Cara and Kalisto, who get a victory over the former champions and continue to impress. This should be a quick and action packed match, yes it's not a big deal but it shouldn't harm anyone. Summer distracts Torito stopping his attempted run in, so Kalisto pins Primo after hitting la salida del sol
4. 2/3 Falls Match: Neville def. Tyson Kidd (w/ Natalya) (13 mins) As said before, Kidd is pretty much retiring soon and he can put over Neville in this program to pass the torch. Kidd gets heat by cheating, while Neville shows a lot of determination and hopefully gets over with the fans thanks to his resilience. It's 1-1, until Neville finally turns things around and hits the black arrow to win the match
5. Kevin Owens def. John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) (20 mins) Owens' debut was effective and well done, so I need to keep it the way it was, especially because Cena seemed really inspired by this feud. The only thing is, if Owens beats Cena clean in his first night, then he is good enough to become champion or main event 'Mania next year, in a company where wins and losses mean something. Owens still goes over with the powerbomb, but after kicking Cena low
6. WWE World Title Elimination Chamber: Dolph Ziggler def. Rusev (w/ Lana), Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins (c) (w/ Authority), Claudio Castagnoli and Randy Orton (32 mins) There are no alliances at all, as the faces (Ziggler and Reigns) and heels (Rollins, Orton, Rusev and Claudio) are not friendly between each other and so it's every man for himself. Rollins tries then to convince Reigns to team up, but Reigns reacts by spearing a tired Rollins (who entered as #1) and pins him first, so we will have a new champion. Reigns also pins Rusev, who then illegally helps Orton pinning Reigns. Claudio then hits Orton with the ricola and pins him, so it's down to Claudio and Ziggler (who started the match against Rollins). The two continue their feud and wrestle for several minutes, until Ziggler hits a superkick and collapses on top of Claudio to pin him and win the title

WWE Money In The Bank 14.06.2015 Columbus, OH
1. Money In The Bank Match: Roman Reigns def. Xavier Woods, Neville, Rusev (w/ Lana), Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) and Randy Orton (17 mins) Reigns comes in as the favourite, along with Orton who has pinned him twice recently. Breaking out star Castagnoli is there too, along with Rusev. Woods and Neville debut in this match and are the ones that brings the crazy spots, especially when Neville hits a shooting star from the top of the ladder to smash Claudio on a table. Orton and Rusev work together to stop Reigns, but Reigns throws both of them off a ladder and grabs the briefcase to win
2. The Lucha Dragons (w/ Summer Rae) def. The Primetime Players (w/ Alicia Fox) (6 mins) Another showcase for the Lucha Dragons, as I am keeping them warm until they are ready to feud for the titles when the current feud is over. Primetime Players won't be an outstanding match for them, but they can still have a decent performance and go over clean when Sin Cara hits the C4 on Young
3. WWE IC Title: Cody Rhodes (w/ Brandi) def. Dean Ambrose (c) and Jack Swagger (13 mins) The feud continues and it gets more personal. Ambrose has given up trying to talk some sense into Rhodes, who seems so convinced of his heelish ways after being pushed by Brandi about how he needs to live up to the family name and do more. Swagger is there too and it creates a new dynamic, but Rhodes takes advantage of Ambrose hitting the dirty deeds on Swagger and pins the latter to steal the belt
4. WWE Tag Titles Street Fight: Big E & Kofi Kingston (c) (w/ Xavier Woods and Naomi) def. Rowan & Harper (w/ Bray Wyatt and Paige) (12 mins) These stables have been feuding for months and the blowoff is here, even though Wyatt spends most of his time with cryptic promos that reference Undertaker somewhat. The street fight should be a good way to end the feud, the teams fight all over and Wyatt gets involved, but Taker returns for the first time since 'Mania and scares Wyatt. Everyone is confused and Big E uses to big ending on Rowan to retain
5. John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Kevin Owens (18 mins) Owens is on top of the world after beating Cena on his debut, Cena gives him a lot of credit but now wants a rematch. Owens ignores it, which gets Cena angry and now on a mission to get back to his rival. They have a tag match on Raw and Cena FUs Owens through a table, so he finally accepts to fight again. Cena doesn't underestimate Owens now, but it's still a tough match for him. Cena struggles, but wins with the FU
6. WWE World Title Ladder Match: Seth Rollins (w/ Authority) def. Dolph Ziggler (c) (16 mins) Rollins gets his rematch straight away and, to respect the theme of the PPV, Ziggler will defend the belt in a ladder match. It's quite cruel to dethrone Ziggler so early, I got plans for Rollins but Ziggler was SO good around this time and deserved a little run, especially after being so outstanding for years. This is an easy feud, because we got a youngster that sold out and one that refused to sell out, but still came on top. No interferences, they get time to shine here. Rollins manages to block Ziggler under a ladder and grabs the title to win it back

WWE Battleground 19.07.2015 St. Louis, MO
1. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) def. Neville (8 mins) The match gets booked after Neville's spot in the MITB that costed Castagnoli the match. Claudio has always done great against little guys, this can be a 2015 version of him against Matt Sydal in 2007. Claudio wins with the ricola bomb, but then hugs Neville and turns face
2. WWE Tag Titles: The Lucha Dragons (w/ Summer Rae) def. Big E & Kofi Kingston (c) (w/ Xavier Woods and Naomi) (11 mins) The masked guys finally get a title shot, after a good few months in the WWE and they are still undefeated. For once the heels are also high flyers, it's a dynamic that I haven't used much in the past. Cara uses the C4 on Kingston for the pinfall and the title change
3. Luke Harper (w/ Wyatts) def. Kane (7 mins) Wyatt keeps challenging Taker, who doesn't appear and so his brother Kane steps up to defend his honour. At the same time, Wyatt decides to use his lackey Harper to do his dirty work here. The Wyatts interfere and Harper wins with a big boot
4. WWE IC Title: Cody Rhodes (c) (w/ Brandi) def. Dean Ambrose (13 mins) The feud gets more personal as time goes on, Ambrose claims that Rhodes can't beat him and could only get the title by pinning someone else. Rhodes keeps stalling, as Ambrose is more aggressive in the brawls, but finds a dirty roll up and manages to retain
5. Roman Reigns draws Rusev (w/ Lana) by double DQ (12 mins) Reigns can now enjoy the MITB victory, but Rusev is on his case and claims that Reigns can overpower anyone except him, as shown at the PPV. Lana tries to get Reigns to put the title shot on the line, but Reigns laughs it off. They have a furious brawl, that ends by a double DQ
6. Dolph Ziggler def. Randy Orton (15 mins) It's a first time ever, Ziggler wants to go back to the title hunt, but Orton takes exception to that as he's tired of seeing people go past him. Orton feels like Ziggler is this generation's version of him, except not as good as him. Orton seems on top, but he wastes time and Ziggler hits a fast zigzag to win
7. WWE World Title No Holds Barred Match: Seth Rollins (c) (w/ Authority) def. John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) and Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) (18 mins) It's the Rumble rematch, but with no rules. Lesnar is mad at Rollins for screwing him at 'Mania, Cena/Lesnar had a long rivalry and Cena can't wait to face Rollins since the Authority played games with him. It's hard to top their previous match, but they will hopefully deliver here too. Cena has Lesnar in the STFU, but Rollins hits Cena with the curb stomp and retains

WWE Summer Slam 23.08.2015 Brooklyn, NY
1. Randy Orton def. Dolph Ziggler and Kevin Owens (13 mins) Fresh opener, as Orton/Ziggler is a new match up while Owens has never faced any of them before because he just debuted. Orton wants to get back to the title hunt, Ziggler just lost the belt, while Owens claims he defeated Cena and should be rewarded. They might steal the show, Orton gets Ziggler from behind and RKOs him to win
2. WWE Tag Titles: The Lucha Dragons (c) (w/ Summer Rae) def. Big E & Xavier Woods (w/ Naomi) (11 mins) On Raw, the Dragons injury Kingston after putting him through a table with a legdrop, so Woods needs to replace him during the New Day's title rematch. The story sees Woods as the babyface in perils, but using this opportunity to grow up. However, the champions retain with a low blow and a C4 from Cara on Woods himself
3. Falls Count Anywhere Match: Roman Reigns def. Rusev (w/ Lana) (12 mins) After the previous PPV, now they face each other again and there are no rules because there must be a winner. Rollins convinces the Authority to offer money to Rusev in case he manages to put Reigns on the shelf, which makes the Russian even more determined. Rusev fights well, but Reigns hits him with a violent spear, destroying the black barriers for the pin
4. Claudio Castagnoli def. Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) by referee decision (10 mins) Claudio is quickly rising and Heyman offers him his services, but Castagnoli refuses and also dumps Layla, turning face in the progress. Of course, Heyman sets Lesnar on Claudio to get revenge. Maybe the words "dream match" are too much, but holy cow how did they miss on this?! Lesnar is still unbeaten, but none of his opponents so far has Castagnoli's raw strength. Lesnar bumps his head on the steel pole ands seems to have a concussion, Claudio does a giant swing... and Lesnar can't get up anymore, so he loses by technical KO. Probably one of my favourites finishes so far and a huge win for Claudio
5. WWE IC Title Bunkhouse Match: Cody Rhodes (c) (w/ Brandi) def. Dean Ambrose (15 mins) It's the blowoff, as it gets personal again. Rhodes brings up his dad's roots with a Bunkhouse challenge, but Ambrose raises the bar, bringing in elements like thumbtacks to show Rhodes who's the real nightmare between them. It's a war and Ambrose seems on top, but Seth Rollins interferes and hits a violent curb stomp on the thumbtacks, allowing Rhodes to retain
6. The Undertaker def. Luke Harper (w/ Bray Wyatt and Paige) (7 mins) After the Wyatts assaulted Kane to send a message to Taker, the Deadman decides to step up. Of course, the goal down the line is him against Bray Wyatt, so he can be fed Harper here... even though this would be a better match than that for sure. Kane actually arrives during the match to prevent any run in and Taker hits the tombstone on Harper to win
7. WWE World Title: Seth Rollins (c) (w/ Authority) def. John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) (20 mins) They wrestled each other a few times, mostly on triple threats or multi men matches, so it's finally time for their 1 on 1 and they had a good match on the actual PPV, so keeping it is a good idea. Cena tries to get Rollins to step out of the Authority shadow and be his own man, but of course he refuses. Rollins uses the ropes to save himself from a FU pin, Cena tries to hit a second one, but Rollins rolls him up and holds the ropes to steal the victory

WWE Night of Champions 20.09.2015 Houston, TX
1. WWE IC Title: Cody Rhodes (c) (w/ Brandi) def. Neville (13 mins) This would be such a nice opener and a challenge for Rhodes, now really confident about himself, but having to deal with someone that is so hard to defeat. Cody talks down to Neville, but seems like he can't cope with his quickness and skills. Neville misses the shooting star when Brandi pushes him and Rhodes retains with a roll up
2. Luke Harper (w/ Wyatts) def. Big E (w/ Naomi and Xavier Woods) (10 mins) A little spin off, as it's needed to keep both groups relevant while Rowan and Kingston are out of action. While Wyatts are still targeting Undertaker, E and Harper get in personal confrontations because E wants revenge for the Wyatts injuring Kingston. They have an intense brawl and Harper wins with a big boot
3. WWE Tag Titles: The Lucha Dragons (c) (w/ Summer Rae) draw Los Matadores (w/ El Torito) by double CO (8 mins) Not the strongest title match out there, but it would be a decent in ring confrontation between these two teams, with a lot of quickness and maybe some comedy spots as well. The champions almost come across as babyfaces, which helps their turn down the line. Cara hits a crazy dive and everyone gets counted out
4. John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Kevin Owens (15 mins) Owens really gets under Cena's skin about Cena losing his title match to Rollins, which reignites their feud. Cena is done with Owens, but Owens wants to be "famous" and does all he can to trigger Cena into fighting him again. It's a struggle and Cena can't lift Owens for the FU, but finally manages to do it later in the match and wins
5. Dolph Ziggler def. Chris Jericho (12 mins) I got Jericho for just one PPV here and I could have used him in many ways, but fighting Ziggler is probably one of the better choices as they are long-time rivals. With Ziggler now being a babyface and a former champion, Jericho seems impressed and wants another match. They have a clean bout and Ziggler wins with a roll up, but Jericho refuses to shake his hand and leaves angry
6. #1 Contender Double Chain Match: Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose def. Rusev & Randy Orton (w/ Lana) (13 mins) Reigns is still feuding with Rusev and Orton, so Ambrose is now done with the IC Title involvement and steps up to help him. The Authority, to make things more tense, says that whoever gets the pin here will have a title shot and so it's not really a regular tag match and even the Shield argue during the match. Reigns finishes Orton with a spear, but both him and Ambrose cover Orton to win together
7. WWE World Title: Seth Rollins (c) (w/ Authority) def. Claudio Castagnoli (17 mins) Claudio's push culminates in this match, the first time he gets a title shot and it should be a huge deal, plus a great match due to their skills. Heyman gets involved, still arguing like he didn't beat Lesnar, but that still gives Castagnoli a huge psychological advantage on Rollins, who couldn't beat Lesnar in their previous matches. They get time and go out to steal the show. Claudio hits the ricola and then want to hit another one from the second rope to prove a point, but Rollins shakes and Claudio falls under Rollins' weight instead of slamming him. Rollins hits the curb stomp and retains
