I just finished catching up with 2019-20 WWE and this will restart tomorrow
It was really hard to watch what WWE actually did between 'Mania 35 and 'Mania 36, I even considered stopping this topic at one point because their product was that bad to sit through

Draft - RAW gets: Ricochet, The Viking Raiders, Cedric Alexander, Rey Mysterio, The Usos, Naomi, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Claudio Castagnoli, The Good Brothers - SD gets: Finn Balor, Bayley, Buddy Murphy, Roman Reigns, Liv Morgan, Chad Gable, Apollo Crews, Andrade, Zelina Vega, Aleister Black
Also, the Cruiserweight Title soon becomes part of another brand so I'll give it away earlier and it won't be featured anymore on the main roster
WWE Money In The Bank 19.05.2019Hartford, CT
1. AJ Styles (w/ Becky Lynch) def. Claudio Castagnoli and Samoa Joe (17 mins) AJ, Claudio and Joe were all drafted from Smackdown and bring their issues to Raw, so Stephanie McMahon is happy to use this to create some matches. AJ and Joe recently feuded for the World Title, while Claudio failed to win the IC Title. They get to open the show and get a ton of time, as this should be a good one. Castagnoli is the only babyface, so AJ and Joe fight together at times, but they're also the most heated rivalry here. Claudio hits the ricola on Joe and Styles steals the pin to win
2. WWE Smackdown Tag Titles: Big E & Kofi Kingston (c) def. Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin (10 mins) The New Day is once again holding the titles, and for the first time in years the Kofi/E duo is carrying the belts. Gable and Benjamin are a quite decent midcard team and they can step up anytime for a title shot, so they get one here as the rest of the division is still shaping after the draft. It's a face vs. face match, but the challengers play the part of the heels of course, as the champions are way more over. E gets the hot tag and pins Benjamin after the big ending to retain
3. WWE Raw Tag Titles: The Revival (c) (w/ Alexa Bliss) def. The Good Brothers (11 mins)
Speaking of tag division, I have the Revival being quite strong on Raw, they have been champions for 6 months and want to keep the titles. On the other hand, The Good Brothers just joined the red brand and quickly get a title shot, I know they never shined against one another, but it would hopefully be a decent undercard deal, while both teams are still quite relevant in the company. Dawson hits a DDT on Anderson to keep the belts
4. Aleister Black def. Buddy Murphy (10 mins) Black just debuted on the main roster and gets everyone's attention with his occult character. His attention, however, goes towards Murphy, who just got moved from Raw and doesn't have a manager or the cruiserweight division anymore. Black stalks Murphy and they fight in an open match, Black hits the black mass and wins. After the match, however, Black smirks and looks at Murphy while he recovers, showing that he was impressed by him
5. WWE Title Street Fight: Seth Rollins (c) def. Bobby Lashley (15 mins)
This will be a problem all year, as the WWE was pushing terrible people to the top and so I will struggle with finding enough main eventers on Raw, so I have to do this match again here. It's not the main event, though. Lashley wins a battle royal eliminating Reigns (who then goes to Smackdown) to win another shot and his physical dominance over the Shield is put over when he also spoils the final Shield party by attacking Dean Ambrose. The street fight should make this better than the Rumble, Rollins retains with the stomp on the steel steps
6. Defy or Deny: Finn Balor & Dolph Ziggler def. Daniel Bryan & Shinsuke Nakamura (w/ Sonya Deville) (13 mins) Compared to Raw, Smackdown actually has a few good main eventers, so I have the (minor) problem to put all of them on the card at the same time. Bryan and Nakamura, the two singles champions, don't like each other and are targeted by Balor, just drafted, and Ziggler, returning from an injury. Defy or Deny was done by ROH a few times, challengers can win to secure a shot or lose to be prohibited from getting one. Not original, but it should be a good match. Ziggler hits the zigzag on Nakamura to win for his team
7. Money In The Bank: Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) def. Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Randy Orton (w/ Charlotte) and Roman Reigns (20 mins) Doing MITB as the first PPV after 'Mania is a good idea, as it kicks off the new season. Raw is represented by Lesnar (MITB debut), McIntyre (IC champion) and Zayn (qualified against all odds). For SD, Owens (good momentum after beating Joe at 'Mania), Reigns (just drafted and willing to become the face of SD) and Orton (still heel and tired of the newcomers). This is also a chance for old rivalries between different rosters to come up: Owens and Zayn one against another again and same for Reigns and Lesnar. Owens and Lesnar fight for the briefcase, but for some reason an exhausted Orton kicks the ladder and knocks Owens off, so Lesnar grabs the briefcase to win MITB. Yes, this was the right call

WWE Stomping Grounds 23.06.2019 Tacoma, WA
1. Sami Zayn def. Ricochet (12 mins) Ricochet has recently made his debut in the main roster and this is his biggest chance to date. Zayn is happy about him getting the rub he deserves, but warns Ricochet that he's not here to lose or make anyone else, so Ricochet will have to earn his respect. They are both babyfaces and win a couple of tag matches too, but there's a bit of tension between them. Ricochet impresses with a few dives and does well, but Zayn wins with the helluva kick. They shake hands and hug after the match 2. Aleister Black & Buddy Murphy def. Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin (7 mins)
After the previous PPV, Black and Muphy are now on the same team, called Obscure Tendencies. Black shows the way to Murphy, who slightly changes his look, getting darker, and more aggressive in the ring after being a bit of a show-off during his cruiserweight division run. Gable and Benjamin are a decent team, failed to get the belts, and here can give them a nice little sprint. Black hits the black mass on Gable and pins him to win the match for his team
3. WWE IC Title: Drew McIntyre (c) draws Bobby Lashley by DCO (10 mins) McIntyre turns babyface along the way and the transition culminates when Lashley, almost obsessed about getting gold around his waist after not winning the WWE Title, starts targeting the IC champion on Raw. McIntyre accepts the challenge and dares Lashley to bully him, as he won't be able to. They have a physical match and the referee can't really control them. A double countout is called due to a long fight outside the ring and they continue to brawl after the match
4. Kevin Owens, Randy Orton & Roman Reigns (w/ Charlotte) def. The New Day (14 mins) The trio of Owens, Orton and Reigns keeps messing with each other and keeping a high level of drama on Smackdown. Owens is furious at Orton for costing him the MITB match basically, while Reigns keeps feuding with them as well and is annoyed by their excuses. New Day stumbles into them after a few tag matches and Shane McMahon says that whoever scores the pin here will have the next title shot, so they all screw one another. While Owens and Orton argue, Reigns spears Kingston and pins him to win
5. Samoa Joe def. Claudio Castagnoli (13 mins) Joe and Castagnoli are still having issues with each other. Now that their rival AJ Styles is getting more powerful on Raw thanks to the Club, Joe wants to form an alliance with Claudio, but he refuses and so Joe attacks him and injuries him. Claudio goes around with neck issues, but refuses to take time off and keeps fighting Joe despite the clear issue. Joe drops him on his neck with a suplex and then locks in the coquina clutch, Claudio passes out and so Joe wins the match
6. Dolph Ziggler def. Shinsuke Nakamura (w/ Sonya Deville) (11 mins) Nakamura has been a dominant IC champion so far, but Ziggler gets in his way and says that for years he has represented the title and defended it, he wants another go at the gold. Deville protests and stops the match from happening, so it's just a non title match at the PPV (cheap, I know, but so is the network?). This opens up for future title matches in case Ziggler should win and that is what happens, as he neutralizes the bomaye and wins with an inside cradle
7. The Club (w/ Becky Lynch) def. Seth Rollins & The Revival (w/ Alexa Bliss) (15 mins) The Club is in full force and wants to take over Raw, after dominating Smackdown for a couple of years. Rollins is outnumbered, but the Revival (who are feuding with the Good Brothers and faced them on the last PPV) turn babyface and offer him support in this six men tag match. The heels are a cohesive unit, but the babyfaces have all the titles etc., so it should be a hard one to predict. The Club's chemistry pays off, Rollins is hit with a belt and so AJ pins him with the springboard forearm to win
8. WWE World Title: Daniel Bryan (c) def. Finn Balor (17 mins) So this match only happened once in 2007, before Devitt reached his prime, and it's a shame not to do it in WWE. Balor finally gets a title shot on PPV, there are a few video packages and he talks about his long road to get here. Bryan is on his side, he doesn't want to lose but he sees a lot of himself in Balor, his path, his skills, his spirit etc. All nice and the match should be really good too, but then Bryan turns heel because he can't win and so he gets frustrated. He hits Balor with a chair shot and pins him to retain the title

WWE Extreme Rules 14.07.2019 Philadelphia, PA 1. AJ Styles (w/ Becky Lynch) def. Claudio Castagnoli (17 mins) The feud continues and now they are face to face without any other competitors in the ring. AJ is getting a good push on Raw, also thanks to the Club having his back, while Claudio seems to have bad momentum and announcers doubt that he can go back to being on the World Title level, like a few years ago. They should open the show in a great way, as usual. Claudio wants to hit the ricola, even know AJ blocked it before. He persists and AJ manage to roll him up for the victory
2. WWE Smackdown Tag Titles: Aleister Black & Buddy Murphy def. Kofi Kingston & Big E (c) (9 mins) Black and Murphy are quickly reaching the top of the Smackdown tag team division (also because it's not deep at all), so they get a title shot at the New Day here, which is good because they champions are in desperate need of fresh opponents. New Day actually mock the challengers' seriousness and dark side, with their easy going behaviour. It's a nice contrast and it should be a good match too. Black helps Murphy hitting the murpy law on Kingston for the title change
3. No Holds Barred: Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) def. Rey Mysterio (w/ Cain Velasquez) (7 mins) Let's be honest from the start, I don't like MMA and I would happily do without this, but it was a huge draw in the UFC apparently and so WWE should have used it wisely to make some money. Mysterio endorses Velasquez during a Raw segment due to their roots, but Lesnar stops them and wants Velasquez out of his yard. This match can be signed first as a preview and for Lesnar to do something new. He wins with the F5, then him and Velasquez are pulled apart from fighting
4. Finn Balor def. Kevin Owens and Randy Orton (13 mins) Reigns managed to get a title shot beating his rivals Owens and Orton, who are still at each other's throat. Balor wants a rematch with Bryan after the way the champion screwed him. Basically, nobody likes each other here and they all want to get the gold (which should be everyone's will?). Once again, Owena and Orton end up costing each other the match. This time, Owens is on the floor and trips Orton (Orton did it to him at MITB), so Balor uses the bloody sunday and wins
5. WWE IC Title Falls Count Anywhere Match: Drew McIntyre (c) def. Bobby Lashley (13 mins) After the non-finish at the previous PPV, Lashley gets another shot at McIntyre and the two agree on a stipulation to make sure that we get a finish this time. Lashley keeps having issues, because he uses the overpower all of his opponents, but McIntyre is a big dude and refuses to let Lashley dictate the pace of the match. The end up fighting withing the crowd and Lashley breaks the barricade with a spear, after McIntyre moves out of the way and pins him to retain
6. WWE US Title: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) (w/ Sonya Deville) def. Rusev (w/ Lana) (12 mins) Nakamura is dominating as the US champion and finally Rusev and Lana demand a title shot, which was the whole deal of the story that saw Deville turning on Claudio Castagnoli and for Nakamura to win the belt from him. The shot is awarded, but Deville keeps cheating behind Lana's back, this infuriates her and Rusev who turn babyface for the first time ever. Nakamura seems overwhelmed by Rusev's power, but Deville helps him retaining with a dirty roll up
7. WWE Title Steel Cage Match: Seth Rollins (c) def. Samoa Joe (15 mins) Joe is hunting the title once again and it's a big problem for Rollins, who always suffers when he faces opponents that are bigger than him. Stephanie also books a cage match, which helps Joe even more, as a demonstration he beats Rollins up in a cage at the go home show. Once again, Rollins is by himself as an underdog and needs to find a way out. Rollins dives on him from the top of the cage to hit an incredible stomp from there, finding the pinfall to retain the belt
8. WWE World Title Bullrope Match: Daniel Bryan (c) (w/ Carmella) def. Roman Reigns (18 mins) Bryan has turned heel and becomes very annoying, telling all the fans he's better than them and Carmella manages him to get more heat. Reigns is trying to get back to the title after the whole leukaemia issues, he gets fan support and can talk about him and Bryan facing in 2014, when the fans were actually facing Bryan instead before he became a coward. The stipulation helps Bryan, as he doesn't have to pin Reigns, but also Reigns himself as he can drag his opponent in an easier way. Bryan uses a JBL like technique to sneak behind Reigns and keep the title, despite Reigns seeming in control of the match

WWE Summer Slam 11.08.2019 Toronto, Canada
1. The New Day def. Aleister Black, Buddy Murphy & Andrade (w/ Zelina Vega) (12 mins) I quite like the idea of a multi tag men match when the titles are involved, especially when the workers are capable and this gets to extend the storylines a little bit. New Day want to regain the tag titles from Black and Murphy, while Andrade is back after a break and sides with the heels of course, blaming New Day for the way they act as a minority in the community. They get to open the show and it's a spotfest to excite the fans in the right away. Big E uses the big ending on Murphy and pins him to go over 2. WWE IC Title Last Man Standing Match: Bobby Lashley def. Drew McIntyre (c) (13 mins)
It's the blowoff between McIntyre and Lashley, as Lashley won't give up and always has an excuse for coming up short. Lashley provokes the champion, who accepts his latest challenge, even though the stipulation might not play in his favour. This time, he doesn't want a lucky win but to keep Lahsley on the ground for good. It's an open match, this time Lashley hits the spear again and McIntyre falls on the announcers table. McIntyre can't get up because the table is trapped on him and Lashley wins the title
3. WWE US Title Lumberjack Match: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) (w/ Sonya Deville) def. Rusev (w/ Lana) (10 mins) The blowoff between the two, I had them feuding a couple years ago with Nakamura as a babyface and Rusev as a heel, which was the best option. With a reverse situation, they should still do okay but not excel in any way. Lumberjacks are there to punish them and try to keep this entertaining. Lumberjack Dolph Ziggler is still feuding with Nakamura and tries to trip him, but he trips Rusev by mistake and Nakamura hits the bomaye to pin Rusev and retain
4. Sami Zayn def. Ricochet, Samoa Joe, Robert Roode, Rey Mysterio and Claudio Castagnoli (17 mins) I got too many decent wrestlers and so I am throwing them in a six way match here, the first one to get a pinfall wins it all. Joe and Claudio are feuding and brutally attack each other, Mysterio made a nice comeback, Roode is always a good hand, Ricochet just debuted and Zayn is enjoying a single push as a babyface. Literally anyone could win here, but I'd use this match to enhance the Claudio/Joe feud and to give Zayn a win in Canada, with a helluva kick on Roode for the pinfall
5. Kevin Owens def. Randy Orton (w/ Charlotte) and Roman Reigns (15 mins) These three have been having issues with each other for months now, since the time they were all involved in the MITB representing Smackdown. They always fight each other, with Owens being the face, Orton the heel and Reigns somewhere in the middle, but mostly face. They are fighting for a title shot again and this time Orton, always sly, wants Reigns to side with him. They actually work on Owens, who comes back thanks to a misunderstanding and pins Orton with a powerbomb to win in Canada
6. Lions Den Match: Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) def. Cain Velasquez (5 mins) I mentioned it before, I don't really care about this, but it generated decent press and it would have generated even more attention if done properly. As Velasquez has Mexican roots, Canada is chosen as the neutral ground for this match, it's their UFC rematch, Velasquez says that he beat Lesnar and got him back to wrestling, Lesnar gloats about beating his friend Mysterio, blablabla. The Lions Den can be used here, it would be a bathroom break for me but exciting for the majority and media, so why not. Obviously, Lesnar goes over
7. WWE World Title: Daniel Bryan (c) (w/ Carmella) def. Finn Balor (w/ Trish Stratus) (15 mins) After being screwed, Balor comes back to hunt Bryan and this time he's sure that he won't fail, because the WWE Title is his dream. To stop Carmella, he even brings back Trish Stratus (again, we're in Canada) to watch his back and help him out. I'm sure they can have a great match, but with Balor going to development because reasons, he can be written out and really put over Bryan's heel aggression, as Balor falls victim of the elbows and cattle mutilation and has to tap out
8. WWE Title: AJ Styles (w/ Becky Lynch) def. Seth Rollins (c) (20 mins) First time ever, at least in WWE. They actually ran it at MITB 2019 and it was fantastic, let's go ahead. I have Becky with AJ, and I had it for years, let's address it later in the feud, as for now it's all about them: AJ accuses Rollins of being an asskisser (he actually is, but not in my storyline as he fought the Authority), but Rollins says that he was better than AJ in his prime and that is why AJ always tried to stay away from him. This can be hyped as a big deal and I did consider having it as my 'Mania main event. They go out for 20 minutes, Becky hesitates as she's not sure about interfering with the belt. Rollins takes it from her and speaks to her, but AJ hits the forearm smash and the belt hits Rollins in the face. AJ uses the styles clash and wins the title, but now Becky regrets what happened and doesn't celebrate with the Club

WWE Clash Of Champions 15.09.2019 Charlotte, NC
1. WWE Smackdown Tag Titles: Aleister Black & Buddy Murphy (c) def. Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods (12 mins) After winning the six men match at Summer Slam, New Day gets back in the title hunt to get their belts back. This time, the duo that gets the chance is Woods and Kingston, less powerful but more unpredictable. They get to open the show with a quick match, the babyface look better but Black uses a dirty roll up on Woods and pins him to retain the titles in an unexpected way
2. WWE IC Title: Bobby Lashley (c) def. Sami Zayn (11 mins) Lashley is the new champion (while McIntyre is taking a little break after losing the IC Title) and Zayn steps up as a contender, after a good series of matches. Lashley is in his full bully mode and makes fun of Zayn, who makes some cryptic comments about his former best friend also bullying him (Kevin Owens, but he's a babyface and on Smackdown). Zayn gives his all, but Lashley spears him to retain
3. WWE US Title: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) (w/ Sonya Deville) def. Big E (13 mins) Big E defeats Andrade on Smackdown, as a continue of the Summer Slam match, and so gets a title shot at Nakamura. In the meantime, Dolph Ziggler is still out with a concussion after the bomaye and he wants to come back to the ring, but he's not allowed. E gets this chance and overpowers the champion, but Deville is a good element at ringside as usual and Nakamura, with her help, hits E with the boma ye for the pinfall
4. Chain Match: Claudio Castagnoli def. Samoa Joe (15 mins) Claudio and Joe have been feuding for a few months and, in a way or another, Joe was always getting the win and getting title shots and more perks, while Claudio's momentum is still not the greatest since being drafted to Raw. I like this stipulation and they should hopefully go really good with it, this is an underrated pairing. Castagnoli finally gets some steam back and lifts Joe up for the ricola bomb, struggling a lot, but then pinning him to win
5. #1 Contender: Roman Reigns def. Randy Orton (w/ Charlotte) (12 mins) This is another rivalry that has been a thing for a few months now. Orton and Owens, after costing each other a lot of matches, agree not to interfere in each others' bout tonight to hopefully face off with the title on the line. Reigns, also, wants to get back to Bryan for the humiliating way he lost the bullrope match. Orton does his best to tame Reigns, but he fails that and Reigns hits a spear to win the match
6. WWE Raw Tag Titles: The Riding Vikings def. The Revival (c) (w/ Alexa Bliss) and The Good Brothers (8 mins) I loved War Machine, they slowed done a bit throughout the years, but they were good enough to give some fresh air to the division. The Vikings debut after 'Mania and quickly get a lot of wins, they are still undefeated and so interrupt the feud between Revival and Good Brothers, extension of AJ vs. Rollins. Unexpectedly, Hanson pins Dasher with a powerbomb and so the Vikings win the titles
7. WWE World Title: Daniel Bryan (c) (w/ Carmella) def. Kevin Owens (14 mins) Owens gets the shot after winning at Summer Slam and Bryan confesses that he's the one he feared the most, just because of him being big and careless, but also knowing him too well. Owens talks about studying Bryan as a fan first and then as a peer, so he knows how to escape his best holds. He does it with good success and Bryan struggles, Owens tries the powerbomb but Bryan uses the crossface/lebell lock and keeps Owens down, it's a new hold for him and Owens didn't know it, so he taps out
8. WWE Title Match: AJ Styles (c) def. Seth Rollins (w/ Becky Lynch) (18 mins) Summer Slam rematch. The storyline progression here sees Becky revealing that her and Rollins have been together for a lot of time now, AJ knew it but she signed a contract with the Club as couldn't join him. Rollins lost the belt, but got his woman at least and AJ is upset, because he's the winner and wants to take everything from Rollins. The tension is now even higher, with Becky on Rollins' corner for the first time. They hit a double forearm smash and the referee counts to 3, awarding the victory to AJ as he believed his shoulders were above Rollins'

WWE Hell In A Cell 06.10.2019 Sacramento, CA
1. WWE World Title Hell In A Cell Match: Roman Reigns def. Daniel Bryan (c) (w/ Carmella) (18 mins) Reigns gets his rematch against Bryan, who protest as he already defeated Reigns and surely doesn't want to meet him in a HIAC match. Bryan gets quite intimidated, so tries to injury Reigns' shoulder in the weeks before the PPV, thus trying to get an advantage on the challenger. Reigns has been chasing the title for months, while Bryan is obsessed with it and doesn't want to lose it. They open the show and, while Bryan tries to hit the buisaku knee, Reigns spears him out of nowhere to win the title back
2. WWE Raw Tag Titles: The Riding Vikings (c) def. The Revival (w/ Alexa Bliss) (8 mins) Hanson and Rowe (cooler names by far) are almost living a dream as champions, but the Revival is not impressed by the way the belts changed hands and so get a rematch against the champions. It's face vs face match, but the Revival do their best to work like heels and put over the Vikings. Also, they are soon going to Smackdown, so they can drop the fall here. The champions hit the fallout on Wilder and Hanson pins him to retain
3. WWE US Title: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) (w/ Sonya Deville) def. Andrade (w/ Zelina Vega) and Dolph Ziggler (12 mins) After a bit of time away, Ziggler is finally back to hunt Nakamura and win the title back, but he and Andrade have a draw during a #1 contender match and so this triple threat is booked. Ziggler wants the title shot for himself to get revenge, while Andrade is looking to get some spotlight as well. Nakamura, silent as usual, sides with Andrade to get an advantage on Ziggler, but then uses the bomaye on Andrade and pins him to keep the title
4. Claudio Castagnoli def. Sami Zayn (13 mins) Claudio is getting some momentum back after a few losses, same can be said for Zayn, but they are both a bit unhappy and want more. They end up arguing during a tag match, because they are both frustrated and know that they might not afford a loss. They are both babyfaces, but there's some tension because nobody wants to lose this one. They always had great chemistry, Zayn is put over like a threat, but Claudio wins with the ricola bomb
5. Hell In A Cell Match: Randy Orton (w/ Charlotte) def. Kevin Owens (15 mins) It's been a long feud and it deserves a good blowoff, so the HIAC prestige should be used to put this over as an important match. Owens cuts a promo on Orton, saying that he's not disappointed by the new generation, but only upset by them because he hasn't been champion since 2013, while a lot of new blood has been able to get the title Orton once hold many times. It's a heated match and Owens kicks out of the rko, so Orton uses the punt kick to win
6. WWE IC Title: Bobby Lashley (c) def. Rey Mysterio (11 mins) Lashley keeps picking on little guys, bullying them and defining himself the biggest man out there. Logically, Mysterio steps in next and he has a long history of being a giant killer, even if Lashley finds it amusing. Again, Mysterio needs to overcome all odds while Lashley just punish him but is caught off guard due to Mysterio's experience. Lashley uses the belt to avoid the 619 and so hits the spear on the belt himself, pinning Rey Rey to retain
7. WWE Smackdown Tag Titles: Big E & Kofi Kingston (w/ Xavier Woods) def. Aleister Black & Buddy Murphy (c) (12 mins) This is another feud that was dictated pretty much by the lack of teams and by the silly extra draft that they did in October 2019. Black and Murphy have done well as champions, but they're going to Raw and so they are dropping the belts here. E and Kofi again is the chosen duo, trying to capitalize on E's size. And it happens, as E finally finds himself against Black and blocks his kicks, hitting the big ending to pin him and getting the title change
8. WWE Title vs. Hair Hell In A Cell Match: Seth Rollins (w/ Becky Lynch) def. AJ Styles (c) (22 mins) So, AJ won the title and retained in an unexpected way, but Rollins got the girl at least and AJ is upset, because he wants to see Rollins 100% defeated and humiliates. So he agrees to give him another shot, but he doesn't want Becky on the line, he wants Rollins' hair, so he can go home, ugly and without a title, and she will then leave him anyway because she's a gold digger. The match hopefully gets a lot of heat and the stipulation should help them out. Rollins hits a springboard punt kick and pins AJ to win the title back

Yet another draft! Because reasons
RAW gets: Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Street Profits, Sin Cara, Charlotte, Andrade, Zelina Vega, Rusev, Aleister Black, Buddy Murphy, Akira Tozawa, Shelton Benjamin, Liv Morgan, Lana
SD gets: Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans, Kalisto, Gran Metalik, Lince Dorado, The Revival, Drew Gulak, Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Sami Zayn, Robert Roode, The Miz, Claudio Castagnoli, Dana Brooke, Alexa Bliss, Paige, The Usos, Naomi
WWE Raw 11.11.2019 WWE IC Title: Rey Mysterio def. Bobby Lashley (c)
WWE Survivor Series 24.11.2019 Rosemont, IL 1. Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Chad Gable & Apollo Crews (w/ Bayley and Lacey Evans) def. Shinsuke Nakamura, Robert Roode, Luke Harper & Drew Gulak (w/ Sonya Deville) (24 mins)
Nakamura's team faces Ziggler's squad to continue their feud. Deville helps Nakamura getting a good squad, with Roode (Ziggler's former partner), Harper and Gulak. Ziggler has Zayn, Gable and Crews by his side. Bayley is back with Zayn and Evans is on Ziggler's corner, making Roode jealous (they used to hight about Liv Morgan). Roode hits Ziggler with a chairshot, getting eliminated but ruining his chances, but Ziggler superkicks Nakamura to win the match and survive
2. The Good Brothers & The Major Players def. The Street Profit & The Riding Vikings (15 mins) This showcases Raw's new tag division, with the Vikings (still quite new) as champions and siding with the Street Profits, at their PPV debut. Good Brothers and Major Players are more experienced and willing to get the titles from the babyfaces. Both Anderson and Gallows survive, as they hit Rowe with a chair and pin him to eliminate him and win the match 3. The Revival & The Usos (w/ Alexa Bliss and Naomi) def. Big E, Kofi Kingston, Lince Dorado & Kalisto (17 mins) Also, this match features Smackdown's tag division. New Day and Lucha House Party blend in well and here they face the Usos and the Revival, who just turned heel when they joined SD and injured Xavier Woods to start a heated feud against New Day. The teams fight at ringside and Big E gets counted out, which helps the heels. Dawson hits Kingston with the shatter machine and both Revival members survive
4. Randy Orton, Buddy Murphy, Aleister Black & Andrade (w/ Charlotte and Zelina Vega) def. Drew McIntyre, Rey Mysterio, Ricochet & Cedric Alexander (w/ Liv Morgan) (20 mins) This should be a good one. McIntyre and Orton are captains and Orton, again, is not happy about not being in the multibrand match. Drew chooses Mysterio, Ricochet (now managed by Liv) and Alexander and Ricochet cuts promo on Mysterio being his idol. Orton has Andrade, Murphy and Black, continuing Andrade vs. Mysterio now that they're both on Raw. Andrade pins Mysterio with a dirty roll up. McIntyre eliminates Andrade, but Orton hits a rko out of nowhere and pins McIntyre to win the match
5. Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Bobby Lashley & Kevin Owens (w/ Becky Lynch) def. Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, The Undertaker & Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Carmella and Sasha Banks) (40 mins) This is the usual Raw vs. Smackdown match. Rollins and Reigns, best friends, are the captains as they are the champions and this adds some drama. Rollins has his enemies Lashley and AJ on the team, plus Owens who tries to stop the drama. Reigns also has his rival Bryan and old foe Castagnoli, then Undertaker steps up to help the brand too when Lesnar refuses to fight (more below). There's a lot of history here, between partners and opponents. Lashley bullies everyone, but this time Taker stands up to him. Taker pins him, but Lashley costs him the match and Styles pins Taker. Reigns pins Owens. Reigns and Claudio almost showoff to see which one of them is more powerful, Bryan is upset about not being the star and kicks Reigns low, so AJ eliminates him. Rollins can't stand his friend (but opponent) being eliminated like this and superkicks AJ, so Claudio pins him with the ricola. Rollins is by himself against Bryan and Claudio, who are clearly in advantage, but can't stop arguing and so Rollins rolls Claudio up and Bryan doesn't help. Claudio uppercuts Bryan on his way out and Rollins hits the stomp, so he wins despite being exhausted.
6. WWE World Title: Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) def. Seth Rollins (c) (w/ Becky Lynch) (2 mins) So yeah. Lesnar was drafted to Smackdown for like 2 weeks in reality, before coming back to Raw (after defending his SD title against Raw competitors anyway wtf), so let's use it as a storyline. Lesnar was supposed to be on SD's team, but Heyman cuts a promo on the go home show and refuses the match, so Taker replaces him. It's just a plot, because Lesnar is the MITB holder and wants to be fresh and capitalize on whoever champion is struggling after such a gruelling main event. Great mastermind by Heyman. His enemy Rollins is already struggling and Lesnar finishes him with an F5 to win the title

WWE TLC 15.12.2019 Minneapolis, MN
1. WWE World Title Ladder Match: Roman Reigns (c) (w/ Sasha Banks) def. Daniel Bryan (w/ Carmella) This is the third match of the series, after Reigns won the title from Bryan and they didn't really cooperate during the multi-brand Survivor Series match. With Sasha drafted to Smackdown, Reigns has a weapon to counteract Carmella's interferences, but Bryan is happy about the ladder match as he's more experienced with this kind of matches. Reigns manages to use the ladder as a weapon and spears Bryan à la Edge vs. Hardy at 'Mania 17, then grabs the title to retain it
2. WWE IC Title: Rey Mysterio (c) def. Ricochet (w/ Liv Morgan), Aleister Black and Andrade (w/ Zelina Vega) Since Andrade has been drafted to RAW, his feud with the IC champion Mysterio has picked up again. Ricochet joins the party, after a dream match between him and Rey Rey on Raw is interrupted by Black, Murphy and Andrade. This four way is quite unpredictable and fast paced, Mysterio has often shown that he knows how to adapt and work with the new generation. Mysterio his Black with a spingboard leg drop and retains
3. WWE Smackdown Tag Titles Mach: The Revival (w/ Alexa Bliss) def. Big E & Kofi Kingston (c) As already mentioned, the Revival changed their ways once drafted to Smackdown: they quickly turned heels and injured Xavier Woods, starting a really heated feud with New Day, who was actually looking forward to the Revival being on their roster. New Day is always better chasing the heels, so here they can put over their opponent: Wilder hits Kingston in the face with a title belt and then pins him for the title change
4. Drew McIntyre def. Randy Orton (w/ Charlotte) After 3 years as the Smackdown gatekeeper, Orton gets drafted to Raw and continues his role here, now focusing on McIntyre, who is getting a lot of buzz but lacks skills according to Orton. They were both chosen ones, 10 and 15 years ago, Orton says he lived up to the expectations while Drew ran away and came back begging for a job. McIntyre is ready to show Orton that he doesn't need anyone else backing him and wins clean with the claymore kick
5. WWE US Title Tables Match: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) (w/ Sonya Deville) def. Dolph Ziggler (w/ Lacey Evans) This has been a heated feud. Nakamura has been the champion for a long time now, while Ziggler is such a tough contender, upset for not winning the title months ago after the bomaye gave him a concussion. Ziggler tries everything he can to come up on top, risking with a lot of flying offence to surprise the champion. They fight on the apron and Nakamura kicks Ziggler low, then with a bomaye and Ziggler crashes a table so Nakamura retains
6. WWE Raw Tag Titles Chairs Match: The Riding Vikings (c) def. The Good Brothers The Vikins have been on a roll lately, but the Good Brothers want the titles back and keep provoking the champions. After winning their PPV match with the help of a chair, Gallows and Anderson want chairs to be involved in the title match against the champions to get some advantage on them. It's kept short and the big men go all out. The Vikings hit a double suplex on a chair on Anderson, so Rowe pins him to retain the titles
7. Claudio Castagnoli def. Sami Zayn (w/ Bayley) They fought on PPV a couple of months earlier, with Claudio getting the victory. Even though they are both babyfaces, their professional rivalry still seems to be a thing and they also challenge New Day for the tag titles on Smackdown. Zayn says that Claudio needs to live up to his name if he wants respect, because all he sees is wasted opportunity. They fight again here and Zayn pushes his opponent to the limit, but Claudio wins with the ricola bomb
8. WWE World Title TLC Match: Brock Lesnar (c) (w/ Paul Heyman) def. Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins (w/ Becky Lynch), Bobby Lashley and AJ Styles Lesnar cashed his MITB, but managed to piss off both Smackdown (for refusing to do the multi-man match, but then showing up to the show) and Raw (for taking advantage of their victorious champion). So, Stephanie gives a shot to ALL the 4 wrestlers that represented Raw at the Series, to punish Lesnar. This creates internal jealousy, as the team was dysfunctional anyway and also Lesnar is not friendly with any of them. It's a rare and chaotic multi men TLC match, hopefully a good one. Rollins gets close to winning the title back, but him and AJ finish off each other. Owens powerbombs Lashley, but not Lesnar, who grabs the belt and retains

WWE Royal Rumble 26.01.2020 Houston, TX
1. WWE IC Title vs. Hair: Andrade (w/ Zelina Vega) def. Rey Mysterio (c) (13 mins) Andrade is still targeting Mysterio, now that they are both back on the same roster. After failing to win the title at TLC, Andrade offers to put his hair on the line, he wants the belt that much and also to prove that Mysterio can be defeated and that he doesn't represent all of the Latino wrestlers out there. Rey Rey accepts the challenge and wishes that this loss would teach something to Andrade, at least. Zelina cheats and Andrade hits la sombra (himself?) to win the title 2. WWE Smackdown Tag Titles: The Revival (c) (w/ Alexa Bliss) def. The Usos (w/ Naomi) (10 mins) The Usos have turned babyfaces, after a few years as heels and New Day's rivals, much of a "we're the only ones that can mess with them" deal, as Xavier Woods' health has been compromised by the champions' attacks. This is a fresh match up at least, never happened before and probably never will again in my timeline. The Usos get close, but Wilder pins Jimmy after the shatter machine and the Revival keep the titles
3. WWE Title: Brock Lesnar (c) (w/ Paul Heyman) def. Seth Rollins (7 mins) Rollins can't wait to get his title shot back, as he was upset about the way Lesnar tricked everyone at Survivor Series. Rollins reminds us that he was the only one to beat Lesnar in the last 15 years, so Lesnar had to find an easy way to beat him. Lesnar gets upset about these allegations and Heyman has to control him. They had a good spring at 'Mania 35 in reality, let's do it here. Rollins gives his all, but Lesnar hits the F-5 and pins him to retain the title
4. WWE World Title: The Undertaker def. Daniel Bryan (w/ Carmella) and Roman Reigns (c) (w/ Sasha Banks) (15 mins) The Reigns/Bryan feud sees Undertaker coming back and interfering, with Shane McMahon awarding him a title shot for saving SD team at the last minute at the Series, when Lesnar backed out. Bryan is upset by this, while Reigns thinks it's interesting as he never faced Taker (and he never will, their chemistry was terrible). We're in Texas and Taker is retiring, come on, I'll give him a last hurrah. Bryan hits the buisaku knee on Reigns, but Taker picks Bryan up and hits the tombstone to shockingly win the World Title
5. Royal Rumble: Drew McIntyre wins by last eliminating Randy Orton (62 mins) RAW: Drew McIntyre, Edge, AJ Styles, Angelo Dawkins, Shelton Benjamin, Kevin Owens, Mortez Ford, Randy Orton, Ricochet, Aleister Black, Samoa Joe, Bobby Lashley, Rusev, MVP and Murphy. SD: Apollo Crews, Big E, Claudio Castagnoli, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Chad Gable, Goldberg, Robert Roode, The Miz, Drew Gulak, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, John Morrison and Mustafa Ali.
Styles is #1 and performs really well, despite the disadvantage, just like #2 Owens. MVP makes his return at #7, but gets eliminated by Ziggler after a bit. Morrison and Miz also return and reform their team, but Goldberg comes in as #23 and eliminates both. Nakamura is #9 and lasts a lot of time, but #20 Castagnoli throws him out. Claudio gets also helped by the returning Sheamus, and the Bar is on the same side. McIntyre and Orton are is as #12 and #13 and immediately target each other. Lashley is #30 and bullies everyone, until Goldberg spears him and eliminates him. Edge shockingly returns as #28, eliminating Joe. Castagnoli is on a roll and throws out both the exhausted Styles and Goldberg, even though Lashley hits Goldberg in the back too. Final four: #12 McInytre, #13 Orton, #20 Castagnoli #28 Edge. Orton teases a reunion with Edge, but then kicks him low and so Edge is out. Claudio tries to lift McIntyre, but Orton again is an opportunist and throws both of them out... but only Claudio touches the floor with both feet. Orton thinks he won, but McIntyre jumps back in the ring and hits Orton with the claymore kick, then eliminating him to win the Rumble
