Both men are convinced that they are being held back by management and vow to do everything in their power to expose the conspiracy against them. They attack Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel on an episode of SmackDown, staking their claim to be the next WWE Tag Team Champions.

He massacres Captain Charisma on an episode of Raw, putting him through the announcer's table, and ending the attack with a World's Strongest Slam on the steel steps that puts Christian on the shelf for a few months to heal from several injuries. Randy Orton says he knows Mark Henry is dangerous, but he is as well and he isn't scared of The World’s Strongest Man. Henry wins clean with The World’s Strongest Slam.)
Women’s Championship:
Eve Torres vs Beth Phoenix (c)
(Eve gets a lucky roll-up to shock The Glamazon.)
WWE Championship:
Alberto Del Rio (c) w/Ricardo Rodriguez vs John Cena
(John Cena invokes his rematch clause after SummerSlam. Alberto Del Rio says Cena is a fool because it is his destiny to be the WWE Champion. He says he is the pride of Mexico and he has finally brought his home country a WWE Championship. Cena says that Del Rio becoming the first Mexican-born WWE Champion was historic, but it came at the cost of the wrong man. Del Rio sneaks away with a win after interference from Ricardo Rodriguez, who lands a low blow on Cena and allows Del Rio to land a Step-Up Enziguiri to retain the title.)

Before this match, Cody unveils the classic white belt version of the IC title.)
Hell in a Cell Match for the World Heavyweight Championship:
Mark Henry (c) vs Randy Orton
(Randy Orton invokes his rematch clause. The Viper admits that Mark Henry was very impressive at Night of Champions, but now he's prepared for him and that he'll have no issue dispatching Henry now that he knows his style. The World’s Strongest Man says that no force on Heaven or Earth will take the World Heavyweight Championship from him.

He says that the WWE Championship has been disrespected enough this year so the match will be inside Hell in a Cell, ensuring that Ricardo Rodriguez cannot interfere. Despite Del Rio procuring a lead pipe from under the ring, a bloodied Cena prevails after an Attitude Adjustment through a table to become an unprecedented 9 time WWE Champion.)

(After months of his YouTube web series called "Z!

Ryder says this is his first real chance to prove that he’s more than just a mere YouTube personality and that he won’t let this opportunity slip through his fingers. Ziggler says Ryder is just the WWE’s flavour of the month who’s not even on his level.)
Women’s Championship:
Beth Phoenix (c) vs AJ Lee

Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship:
John Cena (c) vs Alberto Del Rio w/Ricardo Rodriguez
(Alberto Del Rio invokes his rematch clause on the Raw after Hell in a Cell. Del Rio says that not only did John Cena influence management to get a match at Hell in a Cell, but he stole the WWE Championship because he’s WWE’s golden child who thinks he can do no wrong, but in reality, he’s just an embarrassment to the company. Cena says he'll gladly shut Del Rio up for good and beat him again, in any match Del Rio wants. ADR chooses a Last Man Standing Match. After the match, Cena is in the ring celebrating when an unfamiliar song (aka Cult of Personality by Living Colour) begins to play...and out walks CM Punk! After months of defending the WWE Championship around the world, CM Punk returns with the original title. Vengeance goes off the air with CM Punk and John Cena standing in the center of the ring, both holding up their respective WWE Championships.)

Survivor Series 2011
Date: 20/11/11
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York
Daniel Bryan vs Rey Mysterio
(After Vengeance, Daniel Bryan comes out on an episode of Raw and issues an open challenge to anybody in the locker room for a match at Survivor Series.

(Survivors: Randy Orton, The Big Show & Zack Ryder)
World Heavyweight Championship:
Mark Henry (c) vs Sheamus
(In the build up to this match, Sheamus plays off the fact that he's been the only man strong enough to take Mark Henry to his limit in the last few months. He says that all he needs to do is land one Brogue Kick and the Hall of Pain will close its doors forever. Henry says that Sheamus has only ever survived him, just like everyone else, and the Brogue Kick won't save him from the massacre that’s coming his way. The Celtic Warrior once again takes Henry to the limit. He appears to be nearing a win when Henry catches Sheamus off a Brogue Kick attempt and hits a World's Strongest Slam to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.)
WWE Championship Unification Match:
CM Punk (c) vs John Cena (c)
(After his triumphant return, CM Punk says the reason that he is back is because he realised that while he was lighting the world on fire outside WWE, nothing was changing in the company itself, and when he heard that John Cena was still parading around with a phoney title, he knew he had to come back and reset the status quo. Cena says that Punk walked out on the company and all his fans and isn't the rightful WWE Champion. Triple H decides to set the record straight by having them both compete in this match with the winner being declared the undisputed WWE Champion. Punk wins clean with a GTS, unifying both WWE Championships and becoming recognised as the sole undisputed WWE Champion.)

Realising the animosity between both men, John Laurinaitis (having taken over from Vince McMahon as Raw general manager) makes this match. Barrett vows to defang The Viper, while Orton simply wants revenge for Barrett’s constant sneak attacks leading up to this match. Barrett wins by putting Orton through a table with an avalanche Wasteland.)
Chairs Match for the Intercontinental Championship:
Cody Rhodes (c) vs The Big Show
Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Championship:
Mark Henry (c) vs Sheamus (Draw)
(After Survivor Series, Sheamus brags about how he had Mark Henry beat at Survivor Series. He says that if anyone will dethrone The World’s Strongest Man, it will be him, come hell or high water. He goads Henry into one more match. Henry says he wants to make sure Sheamus doesn't get up again, so he challenges The Celtic Warrior to a Last Man Standing match. Teddy Long says this match must determine a clear winner. The two men tear each other apart, put each other through the barricade, the LED board on the entrance ramp, tables, everything and anything they can get ahold of. The match ends in a draw when Henry performs a World's Strongest Slam on Sheamus from the middle turnbuckle through a table. After the match, as Henry is struggling to get to his feet, a certain bearded vegan's music hits...)
World Heavyweight Championship - Money in the Bank Cash In:

Triple Threat Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match for the WWE Championship:
CM Punk (c) vs Alberto Del Rio w/Ricardo Rodriguez vs John Cena
(John Cena invokes his rematch clause on the Raw after Survivor Series. In the build, Cena says CM Punk isn't the face of the WWE and plays up the fact that he's been around non-stop for almost ten years while Punk simply left because WWE didn't bend to his will. Punk says that he didn't leave for his own benefit, he left for the benefit of the fans in hopes of making the company better, and he’s already taken the first big step towards that goal, whether Cena likes it or not. Alberto Del Rio interrupts both men and says if anyone deserves to be WWE Champion again, it’s a man like him, and not the WWE’s golden child or an overrated renegade. John Laurinaitis announces that all 3 men will compete in a TLC match to see who’s the right man to lead the WWE into the future. Same match as it was in real life, with Del Rio handcuffing Punk to a ladder, which Punk manages to break free from, and Ricardo Rodriguez trying to retrieve the title for Del Rio, only for Cena and Punk to tip the ladder over and send Ricardo crashing through a table at ringside. Punk takes out Del Rio with a GTS, then knocks Cena off the ladder and retrieves the WWE Championship. Del Rio tears his groin in a six-man tag team match the next night on Raw, sidelining him for 4 months.)

Wasn't R-Truth suspended after Survivor Series for violating the wellness policy? He was, but in this timeline, no such thing happens. Even though I could always go back and make the ladder match at TLC a triple threat 🤔

Date: 29/1/12
Location: Scottrade Center, St. Louis, Missouri
Steel Cage Match for the United States Championship:
Zack Ryder (c) vs Dolph Ziggler w/Vickie Guerrero & Jack Swagger
(Dolph Ziggler invokes his rematch clause after TLC. In the build up, Ziggler cuts a promo on Raw and says the mere sight of a "YouTube nerd" like Ryder holding the United States Championship makes him sick, and he wants it back. Ryder interrupts Ziggler and says if The Show Off wants to back up his words, then he’ll get his rematch…. Inside a Steel Cage! Ziggler accepts and vows to end the Ryder Revolution.

Beth Phoenix (c) vs Tamina
(Tamina gets a rematch after pushing The Glamazon to her limit at TLC.)
World Heavyweight Championship:
Daniel Bryan (c) vs Sheamus
(Following TLC, Sheamus calls Daniel Bryan a coward. He says that he took advantage of Mark Henry to become World Heavyweight Champion after promising for months that he would cash in on whoever was champion at WrestleMania. Bryan (having fully turned heel at the beginning of the year) says Sheamus obviously doesn't understand the premise of Money in the Bank, and that in WWE, you have to make your own opportunities. The Celtic Warrior challenges Bryan to this match and Bryan accepts. Bryan ducks Sheamus’s Brogue Kick attempt and rolls up The Celtic Warrior, grabbing a handful of tights to escape with the World Heavyweight Championship.)
No Holds Barred Match for the WWE Championship:
Triple H vs CM Punk (c)
(After his return victory over John Cena and subsequent win at TLC, CM Punk is on top of the world. On an episode of Raw, he says that he is slowly becoming the change he promised to bring to not only the industry, but to the whole world. Triple H interrupts and says that Punk is nothing but a hypocrite who put himself before the WWE and spat on the history of the WWE. Punk dares The King of Kings to trade his "empty suit" for his wrestling gear and meet him in the ring. At first, Triple H declines. But after weeks of the two of them going back and forth, Triple H being the businessman and CM Punk being the voice of the fans, The Game makes the match official. Punk says he knows why Triple H made this match; he misses the glory of being able to hold up the WWE Championship, and that he won’t be taking it from him anytime soon.)

Teddy says that Sheamus will get another opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship alongside four other men inside the Elimination Chamber. AJ Lee (having become Bryan’s timid girlfriend at the start of the year) accompanies Bryan to ringside for this match.

(The Rock makes his surprise return to WWE on Raw the night after the Royal Rumble. He says that he's come back because he's heard that a certain superstar on the roster has been talking about a dream match with The Great One since last April...a superstar named John Cena. He challenges Cena to a match for WrestleMania. Cena comes out the next week to answer The Rock's challenge, but is attacked by an also returning Kane.

John Laurinaitis, not taking kindly to Punk’s comments, interrupts and says Punk’s outspoken attitude will not be tolerated as long as he’s Raw GM, so as punishment, Punk will defend his title inside the Elimination Chamber. Punk welcomes this challenge, saying it doesn’t matter how many people a slimy stooge like Laurinaitis puts in front of The Voice of the Voiceless, he will walk out still WWE Champion. After the match, Chris Jericho attacks CM Punk and lays him out with a Codebreaker.

Fatal Four-Way Match for the WWE World Tag Team Championship:
Epico & Primo (c) w/Rosa Mendes vs The Usos vs Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger w/Vickie Guerrero vs International Airstrike (Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel)

Intercontinental Championship:
Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes (c)
(Cody Rhodes begins targeting Randy Orton after Elimination Chamber. In the bulld, Rhodes brings up his past history with The Viper when they were in Legacy. Rhodes says Orton fooled everyone, including him, into believing that he could lead by example, and though it brought them success for a brief period, he was nothing more than an unstable psycho who’s no longer a World Champion in WWE and is only destined to be institutionalised. Orton says he carried Legacy on his back, he gave Rhodes every opportunity in the world to prove that he wasn’t just "the son of a plumber", but he knew Rhodes was always scheming behind his back, and now he’s going to make him suffer when he becomes the new Intercontinental Champion. Orton counters a Cross Rhodes into an RKO to win his first Intercontinental Championship.)
The Big Show vs Kane
(The two giants and former tag team champions collide.)
No Disqualification Match for the United States Championship:
Zack Ryder (c) vs Wade Barrett
(After the DQ result at Elimination Chamber, Wade Barrett demands another match for the United States Championship. Zack Ryder refuses and tells Barrett that he already lost and that he should go to the back of the line. In the build, Barrett attacks Ryder’s father on an episode of Raw to force Long Island Iced Z into giving him his rematch at WrestleMania. Ryder accepts and suggests it be a No Disqualification Match so he can beat the hell out of Barrett and make him pay for putting his hands on his father. A brutal and intense match sees Ryder retain the title after putting Barrett through a table with a Rough Ryder.)
Hell in a Cell Match with Shawn Michaels as the Special Guest Referee:
The Undertaker vs Triple H
(In the build, Triple H comes out to address the WWE Universe for the first time since losing to CM Punk at the Royal Rumble; but he is interrupted by The Undertaker. The Undertaker says that last year Triple H took him to his limit and he wants to beat him, definitively this time. Triple H declines, prompting The Undertaker to ask if Triple H is just a soulless corporate puppet now. Triple H agrees on two conditions, he picks the stipulation and he picks the referee. The Undertaker accepts. The next week, The Undertaker shows up to learn that the match will be a Hell in a Cell match; and he learns who the referee is when he turns around into a Sweet Chin Music. It’s the same match as it was in real life, with one of the best false finish’s in WWE history and 'Taker going 20-0 in the Streak.)
Tag Team Match for the Women’s Championship:
Beth Phoenix (c) & Natalya vs Kelly Kelly & Eve Torres
(Eve walks out on Kelly mid match, which leaves Kelly easy pickings for The Glamazon to retain her title after a Glam Slam.)
Fatal Four-Way Elimination Match for the World Heavyweight Championship:
Daniel Bryan (c) w/AJ Lee vs Sheamus vs Mark Henry vs Christian
(On the SmackDown after Elimination Chamber, Mark Henry begins targeting Daniel Bryan. Henry says that he is owed a one-on-one rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship since TLC and nothing will give him more pleasure than ripping Bryan apart on the biggest stage of them all. Sheamus interrupts in by saying he pinned Henry in the Elimination Chamber and that he's taken both men to the limit. Christian (having turned face after the Royal Rumble) then comes out and announces that he wants his title back. Captain Charisma then claims Bryan’s a paper champion who hides behind AJ Lee, that Henry has had his time, and that Sheamus blew both his opportunities, so that makes him the rightful number one contender. Teddy Long announces a fatal four way elimination match for WrestleMania. Daniel Bryan is eliminated first in 18 seconds (The "Kiss of Death" spot with AJ Lee stays, but it’ll help Bryan in the long run) after a Brogue Kick from Sheamus, Christian is eliminated second in 10 minutes after a World’s Strongest Slam from Henry, and Henry is eliminated second after a 20 minute slugfest with Sheamus, with The Celtic Warrior landing a trio of Brogue Kicks on The World’s Strongest Man to win the World Heavyweight Championship.)
WWE Championship:
CM Punk (c) vs Chris Jericho (by Submission)
(After Elimination Chamber, Chris Jericho makes his feud with CM Punk personal by bringing up the prior substance abuse problems in Punk's personal life. As Jericho goes on and gets under Punk’s skin, The Second City Saint snaps and promises to beat the shit out of Jericho at WrestleMania, in a rare non-PG moment. Punk makes Y2J tap out to the Anaconda Vice.)
The Rock vs John Cena
(Once in a Lifetime. And no sequel next year. The Rock says that he can tell John Cena is what The Rock used to be, but he'll never be as good as him and says that Cena is a boy scout version of The Great One. Cena says The Rock took his Hollywood paycheck and bounced, never giving a second thought to the WWE and hasn't earned the respect of the fans for a long time. This match is the match both men had at WrestleMania 29, only moved back a year, and with Cena winning after countering a Rock Bottom into an AA. After the match, the two men shake hands and The Rock raises Cena's hand in a passing of the torch moment.)
