02/27/2012 Raw Results.
CM Punk’s music hits and he walks down to the ring for his match against Daniel Bryan.
Instead of Bryan, Chris Jericho walks out onto the entrance ramp. He gets in the ring and says that he knows Punk has a big match, but what he has to say is more important. Punk is very talented, but he is not better than Jericho. The difference is that Jericho never had to put “Best in the World” on a T-shirt to prove it. Jericho goes on a rant and says that he is part of a dying breed of performers - performers who worked for every single thing that they got. Jericho may not have been well liked in the back, but he didn’t care because he knew that he was the best. Jericho says that Punk has similar maverick like qualities. But, that’s because Punk is a Chris Jericho wanna be just like everyone else.
Punk cuts him off. Punk says that he knows how good Jericho is, all of the fans know how good Jericho is. Punk says that he has no problem with Jericho, it’s the fact that he says people steal from him. Bret Hart was saying he was the “best” when Jericho was just a child. Jericho tells Punk that he can laugh it off, but this isn’t some kind of gimmick. Jericho really is the best in the world.
Punk asks if Jericho is trying to prove it to the fans, to him, or to himself that he is the best. Punk says he overcame the same obstacles, but now he has surpassed Jericho. Punk says that while Jericho is off writing books, being on game shows, and radio shows, Punk has been working in the WWE. Jericho says that when he was Dancing with Stars and killing it on the Tonight Show, the one thing that Jericho was thinking about was Punk ripping him off. Jericho says that all of the fancy lights and jackets are just distractions because the one reason that he came back to the WWE was to take down Punk. Jericho is back to prove that he is the best. Punk says that everyone points to the WrestleMania sign, but he is just going to point to his Title. Punk is going to hold his Title up after their match and shout “Best in the World”. Because of that, it will be the end of Jericho’s World.

The Rock’s music hits, and The Great One makes his way down to the ring. He takes a few moments to soak up the reaction. Rock points to his arms and says that he has goose bumps. He says that this feels so damn good. Rock says that this may come as a shock to a lot of people, but he is not here every single week. But he was here every single week for years and years. The Rock was born and created in the WWE. The Rock knows that if not for the WWE and all of his fans, The Rock would not exist. When he said he was back and never going away, he meant it. No he hasn’t been at every single event, but that’s never what that meant. Just because one man in the back wants to take it literally, that doesn’t change his intent. Rock says that he is standing in the ring right now for no other reason than that he loves the WWE. Rock says he will always be a part of the WWE, and the WWE will always be a part of him.
For years, The Rock used to think that Cena was a phony. Rock mocks Cena for being a Doctor of Thuganomics. Rock says that Cena claimed he couldn’t get his phone number, but Rock says that he’s had it for years. Rock says that he doesn’t care because he doesn’t want to talk to Cena. He would rather just smack him in the face with Kung Pao chicken. Rock says that Cena isn’t a phony or a bad guy, but he is a Kung Pao bitch! Last week, Cena said something that stuck with The Rock. He said that Cena was going to wrestle for all of the men in the back who wanted to be a professional wrestler. Rock says that he grew up in this business. You should only fight for yourself. Rock says that no one fought for him, he fought for himself. The Rock name drops historic names that fought their way up to the top of the business. The Rock says that if Cena wrestles for the men in the back, then The Rock wrestles for the fans!
The Rock says that while the fans are tired of Cena, they aren’t tired of being entertained. Rock claims that he lives to entertain. Whenever The Rock and the people get together they trail blaze. Rock mocks Cena for getting called a Fruity Pebble, and then having his monkey ass end up on a box of Fruity Pebbles. Cena is going to get kicked right in the lady parts. The Rock starts a “lady parts” chant. Rock says that the most innovative thing Cena has done this year was change from jean shorts to camouflage shorts. It was a change must be working, because no one can find Cena’s balls! The Rock says that Cena’s missing balls is now trending worldwide.
John Cena’s music hits and he makes his way into the ring. He says that he can’t miss out on the fun. Cena says that he is the guy who runs Rock down when he is here, he’ll admit that. But he’s also the guy that runs him down when he is here. Cena says that he was once a guy that loved The Rock, until he met Dwayne Johnson. Cena calls him an ego-tistical son of a bitch. Cena calls out The Rock on writing his promos on his wrist. Cena says that he doesn’t like Dwayne Johnson. At WrestleMania he’s going to stare into The Rock’s scared eyes. Cena doesn’t need Hustle, Loyalty and Respect to trend, because he lives them.
Cena exits the ring and tells The Rock to carry on, keep trending. Cena drops the mic and heads back up the ramp.
Rock says that it’s just like Cena to come out and run his mouth and then leave before Rock can smack the lips off of him. Dwayne Johnson and The Rock are the same man. He is the same person no matter where he is. Rock starts to run into his catchphrases, and finishes with “If you sm-e-l-l-l-l-l, what The Rock is cooking.

Gail Kim's tells her reason for leaving WWE.
I've talked about this many times up to this point, which I don't mind but I think the fans and myself have moved on from this topic. To clarify, that was not the reason why, there were many reasons why including some disrespectful situations and the way women were treated; so I decided to move on. I did, and I'm happier than ever and I will never know reasons why so I choose not to worry about that anymore. I can only look forward and try to do positive things from now on. Impact Wrestling has been home for me and it's just been a confidence building, pro female wrestling environment. I feel like I don't have to limit myself anymore.

WWE NXT 02/22/2012 Results.
Matt Striker welcomes us to a new NXT. He needed to address something...but AHHHHHHHHH Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks enter. Hawkins wants to bring change and accused Striker of screwing him last week. Reks then said that Striker made a joke of his career. Reks then cut Striker off and then said that it is time that Striker is not prepared for something.
Tyson Kidd then enters the scene with a microphone. Kidd said Reks and Hawkins should apologize for wasting their time. Hawkins thought Kidd was on their side, but Kidd said the WWE Universe wants to see "high-octane offense" (Someone watched former Pitt @$$hole Todd Graham press conferences). Reks said they are next in line and they are the future of the WWE. Kidd said last week he beat Hawkins and rips on Reks' muscles and demands a match. Striker books the match now since there is a referee.
Match #1: Tyler Reks (w/Curt Hawkins and his pimp stick) vs. Tyson Kidd
Kidd begins with a waistlock and rollup for two. Kidd then has a knuclelock in, but Reks brings him down with a couple punches. Reks then stomps Kidd along the corner and yells at the ref. Kidd escapes a knee drop, but Reks works the arm on Kidd. Kidd gets back up, but Reks takes him down and connects with a leg drop to Kidd's arm. Reks worked on the arm again, but Kidd uses the ropes to take him down. Reks and Kidd go outside the ring and Kidd realized he was between a rock and a hard place. Kidd rolls into the ring. Hawkins then becomes outraged when Hawkins gets ejected from ringside. Kidd then hits a suicide dive to take both men out.
-Break-
Kidd then stomps Reks along the corner. Reks comes back by hitting Snake Eyes to a running Kidd. Reks then does a front suplex to Kidd on the ropes. Reks gets a two count, then works the arm once again. Reks walks around a bit, then hits a knee drop to Kidd's face. Reks keeps Kidd grounded with more knee drops. Reks now works on the face and neck region, but Kidd fights back with a big kick on Reks. Kidd goes to the frame and Kidd backdrops Reks to the floor. Kidd then does a running kick right to Reks.
Kidd took a bit of time, but connected on a springboard dropkick and pins Reks for a two count. Kidd misses the mark and Reks hits a nice Front Fallaway Slam. (Off topic, I can listen to Regal commentate all week). Reks goes up top, but Kidd catches him. After a moment of brawling, Kidd kicks Reks. Reks catches Kidd and counters a Corner Tornado DDT by dropping him to the corner. Kidd rolled out of the ring and Reks had to bring him in the ring. Reks pins for two, and then grounds Kidd a bit more. However, after the third leg drop to Kidd's abdominal region Kidd counters the attack with the Sharpshooter. Reks taps out.
Winner via Submission: Tyson Kidd (Sharpshooter)
Grade: C+ (leaned toward B-)
We see the replays of some of the best moments to this match.
Maxine and Derrick Bateman are backstage. Maxine is snapping out at Bateman and said she did not "freak out". Bateman said Maxine needs to do breathing exercises. Maxine wants to get out of here and told Bateman to go hang out Kaitlyn. Bateman walks away and see Kaitlyn. Bateman said he is a lover and a fighter. He said "save your drama for your mama" and mentions the past (see NXT a few weeks back). Bateman and Kaitlyn talk about friendship and then high five each other. Johnny Curtis creeps along and mocks Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn gives him a low blow. It was dangerous because Curtis had a toothpick in his mouth. That, my friends, is a choking hazard.
Still to Come: Alex Riley vs. Titus O'Neil.
Metallica now has a song that is a "Wrestlemania" theme. It is "The Memory Remains". It is a much better track than anything "Flo Rida".
Raw Rebound Time: Pretty much if you missed Monday's Raw, it showed Taker and HHH's promo. After much denial, HHH makes the match official...inside Hell in a Cell.
Matt Striker starts playing a guitar and singing like a hippy (come on Matt! You are a teacher!). Kaitlyn enters and Striker is uncomfortable because a pretty girl is in his office. Kaitlyn said she does not care what anyone says, but he is going a great job. Kaitlyn wants the rematch vs. Maxine. Maxine said Kaitlyn needs to shut up and told Striker that she wants off this show because of Kaitlyn. Striker breaks up a verbal confrontation and told Maxine to show respect. Maxine said Striker is a joke and told Kaitlyn to shut her mouth. Kaitlyn said it went well and high fived Striker.
-Break- (WrestleMania Hype video)
Well, we see another Monday Night Raw clip, this time it features Eve's heel turn. Eve said that she was using Zack Ryder and that people are talking about her. Well, her plan to use people was foiled by John Cena. Eve pleads her case, but Cena calls her a "hoe-ski". Cena said "use The Rock" and called her a "scandalous b!tch". Eve has a meltdown. You can see her exclusive comments on WWE.com.
Tyson Kidd is on the phone with Trent Barreta. Kidd said the tag team will wait. Michael McGillicutty enters the scene. McGillicutty is upset that he is not booked for the show after driving through a blizzard. Kidd said that McGillicutty will recover from this loss. McGillicutty ripped on Kidd's lack of heritage. Kidd said show up next week and he will show McGillicutty first hand that the WWE is in his blood.
Next: Alex Riley vs. Titus O'Neil.
-Break- (Be A STAR advertisement. If you know Mr. V, I am completely for this and actually taught lessons on anti-bullying.)
Darren Young is joining Mathews and Regal on commentary.
Match #2: Titus O'Neil vs. Alex Riley
Side Note: Titus O'Neil's music is probably the worst theme I have ever heard for a WWE Superstar. He needs a more manly song.
Before the match: Young hypes himself up, likes Titus' bark, and hates Riley.

Riley responds by tossing O'Neil out of the ring. Riley then gets some punches in, and then connects with a running clothesline. Momentum changes when O'Neil throws Riley out of the ring. Young "checks up" on Riley, then "Showtime" Percy Watson jogs to ringside.

O'Neil has Riley in the ring and has a chinlock on him. Watson is now on commentary and Young is not impressed. O'Neil has Riley in the corner and hits a splash. O'Neil slows it down by using the corner. O'Neil then slams Riley and covers him for a two count. O'Neil is upset with the "slow count", then applies a chinlock on Riley.

Ryder slaps the microphone out of Cena’s hand. Cena tries to plead and apologize to Ryder. Zack responds by slapping him across the face. Cena looks down to the mat and does not look pleased. Cena takes off his hat and necklace, followed by his shirt. Cena stares at the injured Ryder. Zack taunts Cena, and looks absolutely furious. He goes to punch him, but Cena blocks. Cena refrains from landing a punch of his own. Ryder falls to the mat, and then hobbles his way back up the ramp.
Kane appears on the Titantron. Kane says that Cena sunk to depths that he can only think of – he stole the true love of his friend. Cena has finally embraced the hate. Kane says that the problem is that he is made of hate. Cena will not be able to overcome him. This Sunday, Cena’s body and soul will be leaving the arena in an ambulance. But, before we leave, let’s have a round of applause for John Cena.
Kane appears on the ramp behind Ryder. He pushes his wheelchair over the edge of the stage! Ryder crashes down to the floor. Cena runs up the ramp to meet the medical team. Eve Torres runs out to check on Ryder, who is escorted out of the building on a stretcher. Cena can only watch on in frustration and distress. A little girl is shown crying in the audience.
