At The Animal’s expense, it was WWE Champion John Cena who achieved the last laugh in a Last Man Standing Match at Extreme Rules. With a bound Batista riling at ringside, the sight of Cena defiantly taunting his trapped foe at the conclusion of this notoriously barbaric bout only emphasized the mantra most familiar to the WWE Universe: The Champ is here.
Cena’s reign – which commenced with his WrestleMania victory over The Animal – was heavily jeopardized heading into the one night of the year in which all of WWE goes to the extreme. The Champ stood opposed by a 6-foot-6 beast intent on both reclaiming WWE’s rich, lustrous prize and utterly annihilating its holder.
More harrowing, in this infamously vile bout designed for the most hardened warriors, the only way for one man to win was to ravage their opponent and incapacitate them so that they are unable to rise to their feet within a 10-count.
The supposed “fluke” win Cena notched against Batista on The Grandest Stage of Them All could not be repeated in a collision of this kind. Thus, there could be no protestation by The Animal if he were to lose in the Last Man Standing Match he personally requested.
Ultimately, however, Batista’s vigorous tapping out to Cena’s STF at WrestleMania would not be half as embarrassing as The Animal’s Extreme Rules loss.
The bout was perhaps the most physical of the entire night, as seemingly unparalleled levels of torture were administered on both ends. The sold-out scene of Baltimore’s 1st Mariner Arena all but exploded when Cena followed up an Attitude Adjustment onto a steel chair with yet another through the announce table just minutes later. Like The Animal, Cena too refused to stay horizontal once driven through a table with a spinebuster, then again after a Batista Bomb.
In addition to their usual high impact maneuvers, the combatants enhanced their repertoires by employing everything they could find at ringside, from tools to tables to the most crucial: Tape.
When it appeared neither man would ever possibly stay down, the WWE Champion decided to get resourceful. Cena pulled his nemesis’ legs around the ring post, then wrapped Batista by his ankles, disabling him from achieving a vertical position.
Snared by The Champ, an adhesive-averted Animal could not free his tied feet to answer the referee’s count. By two, the challenger began to writhe. At nine, Batista bucked wildly but to no avail. And with the final call of 10, Cena celebrated a successful title defense with some teasing mere feet away from the face of his outfoxed enemy.
Now, only the future lies ahead of The Champ and in his nearest future is the 2010 WWE Draft, which could potentially send Cena to a whole new world on Friday Night SmackDown. Wherever he stands by the conclusion of a landscape altering Raw, he will do so just as he had 24 hours earlier at Extreme Rules – with the gleaming WWE Championship slung proudly over his brawny shoulder.

No escape for Chris Jericho

Despite repeated attempts to escape the confines of their Steel Cage Match, Chris Jericho could not avoid Edge’s determined onslaught and fell victim to a hard-hitting Spear from The Rated-R Superstar.
In a Steel Cage Match, victory can only be achieved through pinfall, submission, or by escaping the cage. At the start of the night, Edge flatly stated that his game plan did not include leaving the cage.
Early in the match, Jericho had the chance to walk out of the cage door while Edge was down, but instead he turned and reentered the cage to go after The Rated-R Superstar. The decision proved to be a huge mistake for Jericho.
Similarly, Edge had a chance to climb out of the cage, but instead chose to remain to inflict more punishment on his rival. Despite Jericho’s pleas for mercy, Edge reveled in dishing out repeated pain and suffering. Then, just when it looked like Jericho could take no more, The Ultimate Opportunist put him out of his misery with a brutal Spear.
Now that Edge has proven he truly is better than Jericho, who will he set his sights on next? And, what about Jericho? Ever since losing the World Title to Jack Swagger, he has been perhaps the most frustrated Superstar in all of WWE. After this stinging loss to Edge and failing to end his career as promised, what will Jericho’s next move be?

Haste lays waste

A Street Fight is one of the most brutal, intense forms of combat known to WWE. And yet, Triple H and Sheamus couldn’t wait until their Street Fight was under way to try and destroy one another. After a ferocious and unpredictable encounter earlier in the evening, it was The Celtic Warrior who would emerge victorious in an impressive show of force as his rival, The Game, offered the WWE Universe an impressive show of heart.
Prior to their Street Fight, the two powerhouses could hardly contain themselves. Before Sheamus or Triple H entered onto the arena floor, they began hammering away at each other in the locker room area of the sold-out 1st Mariner Arena. The Irishman utilized a steel pipe to incapacitate his foe until a battalion of WWE referees and officials were able to restore order.
In the wake of the skirmish, Triple H appeared to be seriously injured. So much so, in fact, that his participation in the Street Fight remained in question throughout the night. When the bout was finally scheduled to take place, The King of Kings refused to forfeit, emerging from the trainer’s room, albeit gingerly, after suffering nerve damage and numbness in left arm. For his part, Sheamus, who had promised to send The Game into retirement like his friend Shawn Michaels, appeared eager to claim his already wounded prey.
While Triple H put on a brave face, his opponent put on an exhibition of cruelty. In a match where there are no count-outs or disqualifications, The Celtic Warrior used his overwhelming hunger and imposing strength to punish his target with a steel pipe to the temple. The Game fought back valiantly, snapping Sheamus with a kendo stick outside the ring. In the end, though, a series of kicks to the skull leveled Triple H and helped The Celtic Warrior secure the pin.

The victory officially established Sheamus as a Superstar with a bright – if terrifying – future and Triple H as one of the most devoted competitors in WWE history.

All-American victory

On the night when it counted most, Jack Swagger defeated Randy Orton to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. After a brutal Extreme Rules Match, “The All-American American” secured his World Title with a Gutwrench Powerbomb to The Viper, but it was Orton who got the last laugh with a post-match RKO to Swagger.
“The All-American American” has seized every opportunity to come his way, defeating nine Superstars to win Money in the Bank at WrestleMania, then cashing in against Chris Jericho to win the World Title on SmackDown. But since becoming champion, Swagger has been tormented by Orton, who was determined to stop his momentum on the way to Extreme Rules. The Viper struck twice with success, defeating Swagger with a pair of shocking RKOs. Swagger lost every non-title match on the road to Extreme Rules, but when it mattered most Sunday, he was victorious, retaining his title.
On an evening like no other in WWE, where every match is contested under Extreme Rules, “The All-American American” secured a win against his most dangerous predator. When WWE goes Extreme, the competitors can use any necessary means and anything is legal, from steel chairs, garbage cans and the World Title itself. In Swagger and Orton’s match, there were no count-outs, no disqualifications, and the win could come only by submission or pinfall, just as Swagger’s did.
But while “The All-American American” fended off the venomous strikes of his Extreme Rules opponent, it was Orton who stood tall before the WWE Universe hitting his opponent with a vicious RKO after the match. However, it was Swagger who left the 1st Mariner Arena with the most-coveted prize, the World Heavyweight Championship.

Mystery beats Mysterio

Thanks to shocking interference from an unknown ally of The Straight Edge Society, CM Punk reigned supreme over Rey Mysterio at Extreme Rules. His victory, allowing The Second City Saint to keep his hair, makes a strong statement for Straight Edge “superiority.”
The high-powered intensity of the WrestleMania rematch between Mysterio and Punk – along with the WWE Universe’s extreme hatred for the SES – kept the capacity crowd glued to the edge of their seats from start to finish. Though the odds where stacked against Mysterio from the opening bell, it looked as if the playing field would be leveled when the official ejected Luke Gallows and Serena from ringside, suspecting outside interference. But, just when it seemed like Mysterio might dial up the 619, an unidentified “stranger” appeared, assaulting the unsuspecting Superstar, before disappearing under the ring. This set up Punk for the GTS and the victory that saved his hair.Punk’s quest to overcome Mysterio was seeded in proclamations he made long before their Extreme Rules showdown. Weeks before, Punk had claimed that converting the masked Superstar to Straight Edge would be the ultimate victory for his society. It was this idea that acted as an explosive catalyst for their monumental battle at WrestleMania.
On The Grandest Stage of Them All, The Master of the 619 triumphed over his preaching adversary, defending his family’s honor while preventing his forced induction into The Straight Edge Society.
Punk continued his obsessive attempts to “save” the masked Superstar, proclaiming on SmackDown that if he was granted a rematch, he would put the “toxin-free” symbol of his Straight Edge leadership – his hair – on the line. Mysterio accepted Punk’s challenge for a WrestleMania rematch one week later, vowing to take his hair and to put an end to The Straight Edge Society. However, The Ultimate Underdog had no way of knowing that his scheming adversary would have a mysterious ace up his sleeve.
What will the Straight Edge Society’s next big move be to convert someone into the Straight Edge lifestyle? And what part, if any, will Punk’s unknown accomplice play in the weeks to come?

All talk and no Hart for Show-Miz

The overconfidence of Unified Tag Team Champions Show-Miz would ultimately lead to their downfall as The Hart Dynasty defeated the championship pair in an impromptu Tag Team Gauntlet Match and earned a title opportunity on Raw's three-hour Draft event.
With the support of WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, who was on hand for Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith’s Extreme Rules triumph, The Hart Dynasty finally earned the opportunity of a lifetime that has escaped them since the night after WrestleMania.
It began when The “Hit Man’s” farewell to the WWE Universe was interrupted by Show-Miz, who disparaged Bret and the Hart family. The champions reluctantly accepted a challenge from The Hart Dynasty, but would lose via intentional count-out.
A few weeks later, The Excellence of Execution objected to Show-Miz’s declaration that they are greatest tag team of all time, however, when David Hart Smith failed to earn a title opportunity against The Miz, “The Awesome One” demanded that Bret Hart himself declare the Unified Tag Champs as the greatest tag team ever.
At Extreme Rules, with Big Show & The Miz demanding competition, SmackDown General Manger Teddy Long ordered Show-Miz into action against a tag team of his choosing. If his tag team defeated the Unified Tag Champs, they’d earn the opportunity to challenge Show-Miz for the tag titles the next night on Raw.
Upset, The Miz berated SmackDown’s General Manager. Long was certainly not in the mood for “The Awesome One’s” big mouth and added another team to the mix, creating a Tag Team Gauntlet Match.
The Gauntlet Match started with a WrestleMania rematch as John Morrison & R-Truth were the first challengers for The Miz & Big Show. Similar to their clash at The Showcase the Immortals, the Unified Tag Champs were victorious. However, at Extreme Rules, and thanks to The Miz’s big mouth, their victory only led them to their next opponents: MVP & Mark Henry. While Big Show & The Miz managed to defeat their second challengers, they were exhausted with one tag team left to go.
The third and final tandem would be The Hart Dynasty, accompanied by Bret Hart. The fatigued Show-Miz was no match for the fresh and eager Hart Dynasty, who took advantage of the situation and quickly defeated the champions to earn a Unified Tag Team Championship opportunity on Raw.
With Raw’s three-hour Draft sure to shake up WWE, will The Hart Dynasty’s momentum against the tag champions result in a Unified Tag Team Title change as well? Can Tyson Kidd & David Hart Smith join the likes of The Hart Foundation and the British Bulldogs as holders of championship gold?

Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk (If Punk is defeated, he loses his hair)

Amid the uncontrollable fury of Extreme Rules, Rey Mysterio will face CM Punk in a WrestleMania rematch. And if The Second City Saint comes up short this time, he will have to cut his hair.
On The Grandest Stage of Them All, The Master of the 619 triumphed over his idealistic adversary, defending his family’s honor while preventing his forced induction into The Straight Edge Society.
Punk returned to SmackDown five days later, continuing his obsessive attempts to “save” the masked Superstar. Insisting that Mysterio’s conversion would serve as the ultimate example that Straight Edge can save anyone, Punk proclaimed that if he was granted a rematch, he would put the “toxin-free” symbol of his Straight Edge leadership – his hair – on the line.
Riding the momentum from his monumental victory over his would-be savior at The Show of Shows, Mysterio accepted Punk’s challenge one week later, vowing to take his hair and to put an end to The Straight Edge Society.

Triple H vs. Sheamus (Street Fight)

Though Triple H might have believed he had rid himself of Sheamus after defeating him at WrestleMania XXVI, that has not been the case and The Game will now have to battle The Celtic Warrior at Extreme Rules in a Street Fight.
The night after WrestleMania, Sheamus attacked The King of Kings with a pipe while Triple H paid tribute to his long time friend, Shawn Michaels, during a retiring HBK’s Raw farewell. Understandably, this has not sat well with The Cerebral Assassin.
Just one week later, The Game confronted his nemesis and, with a sledgehammer in hand, pursued Sheamus and destroyed the announce table in the process. It’s no doubt that The Celtic Warrior will think twice before bringing a pipe to a sledgehammer fight, or more specifically, their Street Fight at Extreme Rules.
This may be Sheamus’ first Street Fight as a WWE Superstar, but growing up in Dublin, Ireland – home to some of the toughest streets in the world – The Celtic Warrior will be bringing his own element of brawling to Extreme Rules. Of course, with an opponent experienced in almost all the types of bouts imaginable, the Irishman will need to dig deep into his roots if he wants to be able to beat The Game.
Knowing the brutality these two men are willing to put each other through, it’s no doubt that a Street Fight – where anything goes – is a perfect match to allow them to take each other to the limit and beyond.

Edge vs. Chris Jericho (Steel Cage Match)

At Extreme Rules, a clear winner will finally be established in the volatile rivalry between two of the most decorated Superstars in WWE, as Chris Jericho battles Edge inside a career-threatening Steel Cage.
“Spear” has become the word of ultimate consequence for Chris Jericho over the past couple of months. Although he overcame The Rated-R Superstar at WrestleMania, his celebration was cut short when his enraged opponent Speared him off the broadcast table. On SmackDown five days later, The Ultimate Opportunist repeated his devastating maneuver. Little did he know the opportunity he was creating was for another Superstar.
After miraculously overcoming nine Superstars in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at The Show of Shows, Jack Swagger stormed onto Friday night, ready to pick up the pieces of Edge’s assault and turn them into pure glory. After smashing Edge from behind with the Money in the Bank briefcase, Swagger stunned the WWE Universe by cashing it in, capturing his first major World Title from the war-torn Chris Jericho.
In a monumental decision, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long determined that Jericho and Edge would face each other in a WrestleMania rematch on SmackDown to establish which No. 1 Contender would face the new champion. That match ended in a double count-out, with the two Superstars slugging it out into the crowd. Before the GM could decide the next step, Raw Guest Host David Hasslehoff proclaimed that Swagger would instead put the title on the line against Randy Orton at Extreme Rules, apparently leaving both SmackDown Superstars out in the cold. Long launched a preemptive strike to try and assure the WWE Universe and Superstars that the World Championship would stay on SmackDown, putting Swagger in a Triple Threat Match against both Edge and Jericho. But, moments after “The All-American American” squeaked his way past his challengers, Jericho took things one step further. “The best in the world at what he does” attacked The Rated-R Superstar’s ankle – the same ankle that kept Edge out of action for six months – and brutalized it using the unforgiving steel ring steps. After SmackDown ended, General Manager Theodore Long declared that the explosive issues between two of the most cunning Superstars in WWE history would be finally be settled inside the Steel Cage Match at Extreme Rules.

On The Grandest Stage of Them All, John Cena finally did what he had not been able to do in the past when he defeated The Animal, Batista, one-on-one. At Extreme Rules, The Champ will have to do it again – this time in a Last Man Standing Match.
As perhaps one of the most grueling matches ever to be fought, the Last Man Standing Match can’t be won by pinfall, submission or disqualification. In order to find victory, a Superstar must incapacitate their opponent long enough so as that they can’t reach their feet to answer the referee’s count of 10.
Though it may seem similar to a boxing match, that idea couldn’t be further for the truth. There are no ring girls, no rounds, no rules and no limits except for the amount of pain and punishment one defeated warrior will experience as the two gladiators battle it out.
Aside from Cena’s victory at WrestleMania XXVI, The Animal has had The Champ’s number in their past encounters and this will be the true test for Cena. Despite the decisive victory in Phoenix, Batista still argues that the WWE Champion can’t beat him. But after the fierce foes face off at Extreme Rules, there will be no words deny to deny the victor.
This match has been detrimental to all the Superstars who have fought under such conditions and there’s no telling what can happen. As Randy Orton can attest, one’s well being is truly put on the line, as was The Viper’s when he broke his collarbone in the very same match at One Night Stand in 2008.
Under these rules, carnage is a certainty. Only one of these ring warriors will walk out of Extreme Rules as the WWE Champion – with the other perhaps not walking out at all.

Rare Vince McMahon interview: comments on TNA; says Wrestlemania can get bigger

In a rare interview from Vince McMahon, the chairman of WWE spoke to Acorn Newspapers in Connecticut and offered comments on what could be his last match this Sunday at Wrestlemania 26 against Bret Hart.
McMahon also spoke about Wrestlemania’s ability to still get bigger, and even offered a comment on TNA going head-to-head with WWE on Mondays.
Starting with TNA, McMahon ripped into TNA by saying that with everything they threw at WWE to try and make an impact, they only did a fraction of WWE’s audience
“We’re in different businesses. We’re in the entertainment business and they’re in the ‘pro wrasslin’ business,” McMahon said.
“It’s different markets. When they moved to Monday nights, they threw the kitchen sink at us and only did a fraction of our audience.
“It doesn’t speak well for the type of product they’re trying to present with the tawdry, blood-soaked action. I don’t think that’s what the culture wants these days.”
Vince McMahon also suggested that this Sunday’s match with Bret Hart could very well be his last. McMahon claimed he prefers working as a director behind the scenes.
“I really much more prefer working behind the scenes as a director and a producer than being part of the action. I do hope this will be my last time in the ring, but I say that after every match I’m in,” McMahon said.
“I’m 64 years old and while I’m in great physical condition and I never want to say never, I really don’t want to do this again.”
Despite Wrestlemania growing into what McMahon had envisioned some 25 years ago, he feels that Wrestlemania can still get bigger.
“It has grown into everything I ever wanted it to be, but we’re still not there yet,” McMahon said.
“There’s more that can be done, but it’s grown every year into something that people can’t miss.”

World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger vs. Randy Orton (Extreme Rules Match)

Since cashing in the Money in the Bank and becoming World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Swagger has been RKO’d and pinned twice by Randy Orton. “The All-American American” will be looking to avoid a third RKO when he faces The Viper in an Extreme Rules Match live on pay-per-view.
At WrestleMania, Jack Swagger beat nine other Superstars to win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The very next night on Raw, Swagger attempted to cash in his championship contract, taking John Cena by surprise, but fleeing the ring after The Champ fought back. That same evening, Swagger teamed with Batista against Orton & Cena. At the end of the match, Swagger was pinned after an RKO.
Only one week later, after truly cashing in to capture the World Heavyweight Title against Chris Jericho, Swagger faced The Viper in singles competition and met the same fate. Finally, Raw guest host David Hasselhoff felt that Randy Orton deserved the No. 1 contender slot for the World Title and ordered the match for Extreme Rules.

For the eighth time in WWE history, the WWE Draft promises to realign the stars within the cosmos of the WWE Universe. On April 26, it'll be a "shake-up" – as originally described by WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon – when the compositions of the Raw and SmackDown brands are reshaped on a special three-hour edition of Monday Night Raw.
Since its infancy in 2002, the WWE Draft has become synonymous with both shock and unpredictability, sending champions and their titles to different planes of competition, while dividing tag team partnerships and more. In this one night, every Superstar, Diva and WWE personality is subject to a randomized shift in brand. No one is safe, none are excluded.

Extreme Rules

Well the first match has been issued by Batista and he's getting his Re-Match with John Cena in a Last Man Standing Match!

As perhaps one of the most grueling matches ever to be fought, the Last Man Standing Match can’t be won by pinfall, submission or disqualification. In order to find victory, a Superstar must incapacitate their opponent long enough so as that they can’t reach their feet to answer the referee’s count of 10.

On Monday Night Raw David Otunga the NXT Star was guest host and he made a few matches which was very good to see, 2 Unified Tag Team Championship Matches which Cena and Batista was in against the Showmiz which Batista went walking away from again then Cena went to get him back then ended up being counted out then the second match Otunga came out an said him and Cena where to go again against the Showmiz , then Otunga did the same as Batista and walked away therefore Big Show Pinning and Reclaiming Titles!!

So with a couple of weeks to go its gonna get very exciting stuff and Monday night after Extreme Rules its a 3 Hour Draft Special where any WWE Superstar can go to any Brand!!

Jack Swagger shocked the WWE Universe by cashing in his newly-acquired Money in the Bank briefcase to capture the World Heavyweight Championship

Moments after an irate Edge blasted his WrestleMania opponent, Chris Jericho, with The Spear, Mr. Money in the Bank, Jack Swagger, emerged to leave the entire WWE Universe breathless. Without warning, “The All-American American” stormed onto the scene, nailing the unsuspecting Ultimate Opportunist from behind with his newly-acquired Money in the Bank briefcase. Frantically calling for an official, Swagger proceeded to cash in his championship opportunity, pinning Jericho for the World Title after the Gutwrench Powerbomb heard ’round the world. Swagger’s monumental triumph came just four days after he attempted to use his Money in the Bank position on Raw against John Cena, only to rescind the decision at the last second.
Later, after both Jericho and Edge interrupted Swagger’s first "State of the Championship Address," SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long made an earth-shattering announcement. Next week, the two decorated Superstars will battle in a No. 1 Contender’s Match for the right to face "The All-American American."
When chaos erupted seconds later, the new World Champion hit two more Gutwrench Powerbombs – one on “the best in the world at what he does” and one on The Rated-R Superstar.

619 means I’m better than you!!

At WrestleMania, Rey Mysterio reigned supreme over CM Punk, defending his family’s honor while saving himself from a forced induction into The Straight Edge Society.
Mysterio’s intense battle for freedom with The Second City Saint raged fast and furious on The Grandest Stage of Them All. From the opening bell, both Luke Gallows and Serena made their presence felt, interfering whenever possible in their savior’s favor. But, despite Punk’s ruthless attack and the actions of his loyal cronies, Mysterio would not give in. And his heart-filled refusal to be beaten would not go unrewarded. When The Straight Edge Society tried to prevent the masked Superstar from dialing-up the 619, Mysterio went to work, countering Punk’s GTS and sending him flying into the interfering Gallows. Then, before the capacity crowd, Mysterio rang-up 619 on his second attempt and successfully defeated his Straight Edge nemesis.
The volatile paths of The Master of the 619 and The Straight Edge Superstar collided with catastrophic fallout on The Road to WrestleMania. Punk, along with his faithful disciples Luke Gallows and Serena, assaulted Mysterio with brutal back-to-back attacks on SmackDown. Mysterio cost The Straight Edge Savior two huge opportunities, pinning him at WWE Elimination Chamber and costing him his WrestleMania Money in the Bank Qualifying Match against Shelton Benjamin.
Punk “crossed the line” when he and The Straight Edge Society ridiculed Mysterio and his family as they attempted to celebrate his daughter’s birthday on SmackDown. In the midst of his merciless verbal taunts, the calculating Punk issued a WrestleMania challenge to his emotionally-charged adversary.
One week later, Mysterio accepted Punk’s Show of Shows challenge with fury in his eyes. But, when Gallows triumphed over The Master of the 619 later that night, a stipulation was set in stone that The Ultimate Underdog must win at WrestleMania or take the Straight Edge pledge.
Rey Mysterio’s victory on The Grandest Stage of Them All has allowed him to stay clear of everything he detests. But considering the deplorable actions of CM Punk in recent weeks, has the masked Superstar seen the last of The Straight Edge Society?

Fortune does not favor the bold!!!

It has been said, “If you come at the king, you best not miss.”
Sheamus would have been wise to heed these words before he stepped in the ring with Triple H on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Despite a frenzied effort, the Irish Superstar failed in his quest to dethrone The King of Kings, falling to The Game at WrestleMania after a Pedigree in the center of the ring.
The victory was far from an easy one for Triple H, however. The Game felt the power and complete lack of respect from the first-ever Irish-born WWE Champion right from the bell. Battering Triple H both inside and outside the ring with clubbing blows and explosive kicks, Sheamus nearly made good on his promise to destroy his opponent.
In the end, however, it was a perfectly timed Pedigree from The Cerebral Assassin that would seal the Irishman’s fate and give Triple H the win.
Triple H had warned Sheamus to think twice before challenging him at WrestleMania. But after being pinned by The Game at WWE Elimination Chamber, the Irish Superstar was hell-bent on getting retribution against The King of Kings. Vowing to make an example of Triple H, Sheamus attacked his nemesis at every turn leading up to The Showcase of the Immortals. His failure to defeat Triple H will only further fuel The Celtic Warrior's ire.
What will happen when The Game and Sheamus cross paths on Raw tomorrow? Tune in to find out.

RK-Owning his legacy

Overcoming the odds, the teacher outclassed his former students as Randy Orton defeated Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes in a Triple Threat Match at The Showcase of the Immortals. On the biggest night of the year, Orton punted Rhodes in the head and evened the score with DiBiase with an RKO, leading to The Viper’s victory.
For DiBiase and Rhodes, who made their WrestleMania debuts, a victory would have certainly set either one of them on the path to follow in the footsteps of their respective WWE Hall of Fame fathers, “The Million Dollar Man” and Dusty Rhodes. But their egos were fed by the spectacle of WrestleMania and the sold-out crowd, putting them at odds and giving the more experienced Orton an advantage.
At one time, The Legacy was a force to be reckoned with in WWE. Orton took the eager young Superstars and set them on the path to pave their own roads toward greatness. While The Legacy seemed unstoppable, the egos of Rhodes and DiBiase would become too big for Orton to manage. The Viper would even square-off at times with the multi-generational Superstars. While the trio faced adversity, even when Rhodes cost Orton the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble, The Legacy would always find a way to remain united until WWE Elimination Chamber.
The tension overflowed at the new pay-per-view when Cody Rhodes tossed a lead pipe into Satan’s Structure for DiBiase to utilize on John Cena. DiBiase used the pipe against both Cena and Orton and, in a moment of ultimate defiance, chose to eliminate his former mentor. The Legacy imploded with the two young Superstars becoming estranged from The Viper and out to prove that they were the better competitors.
At WrestleMania, there was no more bickering as these three Superstars squared off. The match seemed like a handicap match at times, with DiBiase and Rhodes teaming against Orton. But it was truly every man for himself and DiBiase and Rhodes would argue over who should be the victor, allowing Orton time to recover. The Legacy was broken and each man was out to prove that their legacy would be the one elevated on The Grandest Stage of Them All. After a devastating double-elevated DDT, Orton punted Rhodes and hit DiBiase with the RKO, pinning him for the win.
While Randy Orton may have come away with a WrestleMania victory, Ted DiBiase surely won’t let the score between he and Orton to remain tied, and Rhodes will be out to prove to his former associates that his legacy will be the future of WWE.

Simple albeit prolonged chain reaction: Vince screwed Bret in 1997; Vince screwed Vince weeks ago on Raw; and at WrestleMania XXVI, Bret finally screwed Vince with excellent execution, as The “Hit Man” cemented this Show of Shows as perhaps the best there ever will be.
With the support of the Hart family, who double-crossed and foiled the scheme of The WWE Chairman, the pink and black colors waved proud in victory on The Grandest Stage of Them All, mending a 12-year wound for The Hit Man.
It was nearly a repeat performance of the Montreal Screwjob, but at a greater magnitude when Mr. McMahon revealed his fully funded lumberjacks: The Hart family, Dynasty and all. However, blood proved thicker than The Chairman’s liquid assets, as Bret’s kin betrayed the billionaire in the No Holds Barred Match and took up arms against the man who defiled their family name for so very many years.

The Excellence of Execution unleashed more than a decade of malice onto the man who tarnished an incomparable career of a genuine champion, with or without a gold prize in his possession. Swinging a tire iron and steel chair at McMahon – at least one strike for every year since his unsavory departure from WWE – the fury in The Hit Man’s eyes told a story of justice and attrition.
Then, to lock in vindication and serve his mortal nemesis a 12-year brew of retribution, Hart clinched the legs of The Chairman for a Sharpshooter. It was the moment that not just Bret, but also the legion of WWE Universe members in the University of Phoenix Stadium and around the globe waited more than a decade to experience.
McMahon quickly surrendered, pounding his palm against the mat with a rhythmic pulse similar to the intro of Hit Man’s entrance music, which then sounded instantly to both signal and accentuate victory.
Surrounded by his Hart brethren, The Pink and Black Attack celebrated his own unbelievable return from a career-ending concussion, a stroke and so many other tribulations. Instantly, WrestleMania XXVI became a conquest bigger than Yokozuna at WrestleMania X, more emphatic than “Stone Cold” Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13.
On March 28, 2010, the myth of “The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be” was tested and proven, live in front of 72, 219. The Hart still beats and perhaps stronger it ever will beat.

Can't stagger Swagger!!

Jack Swagger is known throughout the WWE Universe for his incredible amateur wrestling background. But at WrestleMania XXVI it was “The All-American American’s” willingness to take risks and put his body on the line that brought him victory in the first-ever 10-Man Money in the Bank Ladder Match and the contract for a guaranteed World Title Match that comes with it.
During the weeks leading up to WrestleMania, qualifying matches were held on both Raw and SmackDown, where the brands’ hungriest Superstars competed for a chance to win one of WWE’s most coveted prizes. On the March 1 episode of Raw, Jack Swagger defeated Santino Marella, earning his place in the yearly contest, and beginning his trip to The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Though Swagger was willing to do anything to get his hands on the Money in the Bank briefcase, “The All-American American” had numerous equally ambitious competitors standing in his way. For the first time-ever the annual Money in the Bank Ladder Match was contested between 10 Superstars, only adding to the chaos within the ring.
Superstars battled atop the ladders throughout the match, but the contest was ultimately won when Swagger knocked Christian to the mat below using the Money in the Bank Briefcase itself. Though “The All-American American” walked away the victor, other Superstars also went to extraordinary lengths to obtain the coveted briefcase, as evidenced by Kofi Kingston using a broken ladder as a pair of makeshift stilts, and Evan Bourne hitting his awe-inspiring Shooting Star Press of a pair of ladders.
The Money in the Bank Match was a hotly contested one as it was filled with veterans in the dangerous contest such as Matt Hardy, MVP, Kane and Shelton Benjamin. The match also hosted younger up-and-coming competitors as well, such as Dolph Ziggler and Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre, who competed in multiple qualifying matches on SmackDown before gaining admittance into the contest.
Now the two-time collegiate All-American has a golden opportunity to become a first-time World Champion. But with a guaranteed World Title Match at any time of his choosing, when will Swagger decide to cash in his Money in the Bank? And which World Title holder will be forced to square off against the boundless ambition of the brand new Mr. Money in the Bank?

A Spear too late!!

PHOENIX – Veteran ring skills (55 titles combined). The will to win. Bitter anger.
World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho and Edge brought everything to their very personal war in front of more than 72,000 members of the WWE Universe inside the University of Phoenix Stadium. And finally – after weeks of hostile posturing – it was Jericho who reigned supreme and walked away with his World Title.
After the match, an enraged Ultimate Opportunist brutally Speared Jericho from atop the announce table and through the ringside barricade.
Clearly, we haven't seen the last of Edge's fight to regain the World Title.
Once close allies, these former tag team partners hit a major crossroads last July when Edge suffered a potentially career-ending Achilles injury.
But in January at Royal Rumble, The Ultimate Opportunist shocked the entire WWE Universe by returning to WWE to win the Royal Rumble Match.
Not to be outdone – a month later inside the Elimination Chamber – Jericho pulled off a stunning win over The Undertaker, thanks to some help from Shawn Michaels.
With both Superstars full of momentum, the WWE Universe knew it would witness a stellar battle at WrestleMania. Neither Superstar disappointed.
However, now that Edge could not win Jericho's title, how can he possibly live with himself? If there was bitter anger before, things are sure to get downright ugly now.

Cena uncorks the "Champ pain"

PHOENIX – He was one competitor from victory at 2005’s Royal Rumble – but Batista upended him. He was one second from basking in glory at 2008’s SummerSlam – but Batista refused to quit. He prevailed over five others to capture the WWE Title at this year’s Elimination Chamber – but Batista came and fought it away.
During some of the most pivotal moments of his career, John Cena has failed to overcome the force of just one man: Batista. Until now.
After an intense clash between two of WWE’s preeminent powerhouses on The Grandest Stage of Them All, Cena finally unleashed all manner of fury on The Animal, captured his seventh WWE Title and can once again proclaim, “The Champ … is … here!”
The victory, however, was far from assured. In the weeks leading up to the brawl, Batista successfully employed psychological warfare, worming his way inside Cena’s psyche, mocking his squeaky-clean image and trying to convince him that he could never defeat The Animal. However, just six days prior to WrestleMania, Cena crashed through a phalanx of security and attacked his tormentor on Monday Night Raw, vowing that Batista “would never keep [him] down, no matter what.”
True to his word, Cena entered the match with a full tank of gas and plenty in reserve. The two Superstars locked in various holds early in the match, intent on wearing down their opponent. As the match progressed, the two powerhouses began to trade cement-shattering blows. As a result, a hint of fatigue glimmered on each of their brows, but neither would relent. Instead, Cena kicked out after a rumbling Batista Bomb, and The Animal also escaped in the wake of an emphatic Attitude Adjustment. Finally, though, Cena would clamp down upon Batista with a savage STFU, leaving The Animal no choice but to tap out.
In the end, Cena displayed the steely resolve of a warrior, vanquishing any self-doubt he harbored leading up to the match and returning to form as “The Champ” on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Shawn Michaels Retires After 26 Yr Career In WWE!

Shawn Hickenbottom, who is best known as “Shawn Michaels,” or “The Heartbreak Kid” tearfully said goodbye to his 26 year wrestling career on Raw Monday night. In a very touching speech the 44 year old thanked his fans with the words, “For years, you guys were the only ones in the world that made me like me.” The Showstopper first began wrestling when he was just 19.
Michaels had made an agreement for his rival match with the Undertaker during Wrestlemania 26, that if the Undertaker won, Shawn would retire. Well, the Undertaker won, of course, which ended the career of Shawn Michaels. As Shawn started his farewell speech, which lasted 14 minutes and can be seen in part below, the Undertaker came out and tipped his hat the the retiring athlete.
Michaels thanked Triple H for being his friend when no one else was. He also thanked Vince McMahon for putting up with him, and Brett hart for forgiving him for the rival the two had during the 90’s. He added that everything Brett has ever said about Shawn, Brett had a right to say.
To those in hopes that he will return, Shawn said that he appreciates the sentiment and understands that they are skeptical of career ending matches, but that he is going to do everything that he can to stay retired. “I don’t want to break my word to you and I don’t want to break my word to The Undertaker,” he said. As he ended his speech, Michaels said, “This is how we started it, and this is how we are going to end it: The Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels has left the building!” After Triple H gave Shawn a farewell hug, he then placed two glow sticks to form an “X” in the center of the ring. Michaels walked towards the back, and with a wave of his hand, the legend was gone...............
