2/24/2012- Review of WWE Raw and Super SmackDown, preview of UFC 144, more

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great week this week. In the world of professional wrestling, the Road to WrestleMania is getting closer than you know it. Outside of pro-wrestling, UFC will have a PPV in Japan for the 1st time since UFC 29. I'll share more details as you read along so here we go!

WWE
This past Monday on Raw was the day after the Elimination Chamber PPV. Raw kicked off with Eve Torres turning heel saying that "she used Zack Ryder" to her advantage. Eve was also planning on manipulating John Cena but was caught red-handed and things didn't go too well for her.


After that opening segment, Eve was not seen on Raw. However, WWE YouTube did load a "candid" backstage video asking her thoughts, but she refused to comment.


After that unusual opening segment, it was time to get back in business as the rest of Raw was hyping up for WrestleMania. One important segment was The Undertaker calling out Triple H to face him at WrestleMania 28. Here is the entire dialogue between Taker and HHH:


At the end of Raw was a battle royal to determine who will face CM Punk at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship, and at the end Chris Jericho won the battle royal. Here's an updated card of WrestleMania 28:
  • The Rock vs. John Cena
  • CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho for the WWE Championship
  • Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship
  • Undertaker vs. Triple H in a Hell in a Cell match
More matches will be announced as the weeks go on.

The following day was a live edition of SmackDown where the main event was Champion vs. Champion. Overall, the match between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan was really good, but the thing was the match had no finish. Here are the highlights of the match:


If you saw the argument between Interim Raw GM John Laurinaitis and SmackDown GM Theodore Long, there is a feud between the 2 general managers as to who should run both Raw and SmackDown. Overall, both Raw and SmackDown were okay this week, but I hope things will pick up by next week. Speaking of next week:


That's right! The Rock will return next week on Raw to make regular appearances up to WrestleMania 28. Stay tuned for next week on Raw!

UFC
As you all know, UFC will be making it's return to Japan since 2000 when UFC 29 took place over there. The event will take place Sunday in the morning of February 26th, but due to time differences it will be aired live on Saturday here in the United States at 10 PM EST. The two major fights on the card are Quinton "Rampage" Jackson fighting against Ryan Bader and Frankie Edgar defending his Lightweight Championship against Ben Henderson. Here's a promo of UFC 144:


ROH
10 years ago, Ring of Honor was born after WCW and ECW went out of business. After a successful 10 years, Ring of Honor will have a 10th anniversary event on March 4th. Here is a recent video wire on the latest of ROH.


That's all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend!
