April Week 2, Year 6

It's a new day in my WWE Universe. There is a new show, NXT, featuring the developmental talent. I won't be watching any of their matches. The rosters are completely overhauled. There are at least 10 tag teams.

Raw
Match 1. Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. Darren Young and Titus O'Neil
Bryan locked Titus in the Yes Lock on the outside. The Prime Time Players then hit Bryan with a double suplex. Titus hit a huge spine buster. Kane finally came in and busted Titus open with a back elbow smash. He connected with the sidewalk slam and got the win.

Match 2. Brodus Clay vs. Tensai

Match 3. The Miz vs. Kofi Kingston vs. William Regal

Match 4. Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler w/ Big E. Langston
After a corner clothesline by Jericho, both men got some long, two counts. Jericho picked up a chair and hit Ziggler over the head. He then speared Ziggler through the barricade. Ziggler recovered and hit the Fame Asser. Back in the ring, Ziggler locked in the sleeper hold and won.

Main Event. John Cena vs. Ryback   #1 Contender's match
Lesnar attacked Cena from behind on his way to the ring. Ryback had Cena in the tree of woe and choked him with his boot. Cena came back with a shoulder tackle and hit the Five-Knuckle Shuffle. Ryback broke out of a submission and lifted Cena up for a body press slam. He then hit Shell Shock and got the win.

After the match, Damien Sandow ran down and attacked Christian with a lead pipe.

Main Event. The Rock vs. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus
Finally, The Rock has returned to SmackDown. Orton and Sheamus hit Rock with a double Russian leg sweep. Sheamus took out Rock with a running forearm and then hit Orton with an Irish Curse. Orton busted Rock open with a Lou Thesz Press. Sheamus went to hit Rock with the Celtic Cross, but Orton broke it up. Rock hit Orton with a float-over DDT and won.
