Wednesday Night's Main Event - Main Event recap for October 31, 2012

It is announced that referee Brad Maddox has been indefinitely suspended following his actions at Hell In A Cell and that he will be questioned tomorrow at WWE's global headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut by a board of inquiry. It is revealed that Maddox tried to be a WWE superstar and failed, then tried to be an official, which led to him being put in place as a referee on Raw went it went to three hours.

We get a closer look at Alberto Del Rio.

Randy Orton, Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio beat Alberto Del Rio and The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil). After the match, Matt Striker interviews Rey, Sin Cara and Orton. Rey thanks Orton for leading them to victory tonight, and says that the tag team division has found out that he and Sin Cara are here for a long run. Sin Cara thanks Rey and Orton, and says that he and Rey are teaming up to become tag team champions. Orton says that they sent a message to Alberto Del Rio: there is only one apex predator.

Backstage, Josh Mathews interviews The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil). Darren Young says that while they and Alberto Del Rio lost, the team as a whole did not, and this is not the end. Titus says the fans will notice they are the top team in WWE and that they will become the WWE Tag Team Champions at WrestleMania 29. Del Rio then shows up and tells Randy Orton it is not over yet, as he is the new apex predator. He tells Orton to watch his back Friday night on SmackDown.

It is announced that Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero has more evidence in the AJ scandal in the form of more hotel security camera footage on the floor that AJ and John Cena were on.

Wade Barrett beats Tyson Kidd following an elbow from the outside. After the match, Barrett calls his victory against Tyson Kidd in less than five minutes "impressive," and says he is not surprised that Sheamus lost the World Heavyweight Championship, bragging that if he defended the title against him, he would be World Heavyweight Champion right now. Sheamus shows up and tells Barrett that it is a common misconception that the British and the Irish hate each other, but he personally just doesn't like Barrett. He admits he can't wait to get in the ring with Big Show again, but he is more than happy to put Barrett in his place next week. Barrett tells Sheamus the feeling is mutual before accepting his challenge, saying that he does not lose in England. Sheamus tells Barrett that there is a first time for everything and that he will enjoy kicking his ass even more before stating that they can go right now. Sheamus gets in the ring, but Barrett retreats.

Brodus Clay beats Epico. During the match, Brodus Clay makes a fool out of Epico by dancing with him, so Primo and Epico decide to take on Brodus Clay from different sides.

Wednesday Night's Main Event - Main Event recap for October 24, 2012

Michael Cole and The Miz welcome everyone to tonight's show. The Miz takes offense to being called "the former Intercontinental Champion," saying he will beat Kofi Kingston for the title at Hell In A Cell this Sunday. Tonight, Dolph Ziggler goes one-on-one with Ryback. Miz says that Dolph is quick and agile, and that he is a former World Heavyweight Champion. We then see a video package of Ryback, then The Miz says it is one thing to see Ryback on videotape, and something else to face him in the ring. After that, we see a video package of Dolph Ziggler.

Matt Striker interviews Ryback. Ryback simply tells everyone to watch what he does to Dolph Ziggler when he is told that some say that he has not earned the right to compete for the WWE Championship at Hell In A Cell. Josh Mathews then interviews Dolph Ziggler, who has no comment when asked what his strategy against Ryback is and tells Mathews to get out as he keeps asking him questions.

Ryback beats Dolph Ziggler. During the match, Dolph Ziggler runs to the back, and Ryback chases Ziggler before the show cuts to a commercial break. When the commercial break is over, Ryback comes out - to his own entrance music - holding Ziggler in his arms before he gorilla presses Ziggler back into the ring.

On the Hell In A Cell pre-show, John Cena faces the WWE Universe live on WWE.com, Facebook and YouTube regarding the AJ Scandal, and will be answering questions made from the audience and through social media.

Michael Cole and The Miz interview Paul Heyman, who is backstage. Heyman says CM Punk is not on the same level of Dolph Ziggler, and says The Miz took his beating from Ryback like a man, unlike Dolph, who kept running away. He admits Ryback is most impressive with unprecedented power that is brought to every offensive maneuver which is brought with by bad intention. However, surviving a Hell In A Cell Match requires strategy and cunning, which Heyman claims Ryback does not have. This sunday, CM Punk will feed Ryback his very first loss and prove once again that he is the best in the world.

Alberto Del Rio beats Sin Cara with the Cross Arm Breaker. After the match, Alberto Del Rio asks Randy Orton if he is watching, as that will be him Hell In A Cell after he exposes him as a little crying girl who complans about everything. Ricardo Rodriguez mocks Randy Orton, then says that Alberto Del Rio says he does not have to brag about anything - especially in a stinky place like Providence, Rhode Island - or have to sing songs about having millions of dollars. Ricardo then mocks The Prime Time Players' (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) "Millions of Dollars" dance. The Prime Time Players then show up, and said neither side had an issue with each other until now. Del Rio says he does not have any business with them as he is in the major leagues, and says Sin Cara is their enemy, not him. He proposes that the three of them work together, then the three of them attack Sin Cara. Randy Orton runs in and chases Del Rio out of the ring before making quick work of The Prime Time Players with two RKOs. Orton then grabs the microphone and tells Del Rio that he looks forward to seeing him on Sunday. He is not sure how much of Del Rio will be left after Hell In A Cell, but Rey Mysterio will be back on Main Event next week. He challenges Del Rio and The Prime Time Players to a six-man tag match against him, Rey and Sin Cara for next week.

Santino Marella guests on commentary this week.

"The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix tell us: Don't Try This.

Zack Ryder beats Justin Gabriel with an off-camera Rough Ryder. Both men shake hands and show respect after the match.

On this week's Video Vault, we see some of the most slithery Superstars in WWE history: Jake "The Snake" Roberts, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Randy Orton.

We hear from Randy Orton. We learn that his nickname "The Viper" comes from his fascination with reptiles.

Daniel Bryan beats Tyson Kidd. Early in the match, Daniel Bryan tries to get out of the match after Tyson Kidd grabs his beard, but Kane shows up and tells Daniel Bryan to get back in the ring. When he does, Tyson Kidd picks him up, but Daniel Bryan escapes and puts Tyson Kidd in an airplane spin. Shortly afterwards, Daniel Bryan rolls himself into a ball, and when Tyson Kidd tries to pin him, he cannot pin his shoulders to the mat. Daniel Bryan extends his hand, and Tyson Kidd grabs it. Daniel Bryan drags him to the mat, then gets him with a crucifix pin as part of a match called "The Lady of the Lake." After the match, Kane takes his half of the WWE Tag Team Championships and celebrates with both belts. Daniel tries to get his belt back, but Kane uses his sheer size to keep Daniel from grabbing it. Kane reluctantly gives his belt back to him, then both men argue over who is the tag team champions as the show ends.

Now go watch Daniel Bryan go to anger management!

Wednesday Night's Main Event - Main Event recap for October 17, 2012

Michael Cole and JBL welcome everyone to tonight's show.

We see a vignette for Kofi Kingston, then Josh Mathews interviews Kofi backstage. Kofi says that people are still talking "the kick heard around the world" and that The Miz has kept talking about how he is not at 100% and isn't memorable enough, but The Miz will remember his name after bringing out a side of him he has never seen before. Last week was sending a message, but this week is about winning the Intercontinental Championship and it is time to let the beast out.

The Miz shows up and says he took a kick last week that would have decimated lesser men, and that there is a reason why he says he is awesome. He also says that the Intercontinental Championship means something for the first time in years because he has it, and that he is a future Hall of Famer, WrestleMania headliner and an all-time winner. We then see a vignette for The Miz, then Miz tells Kofi that if he wants his title, he can come and get it.

Kofi Kingston beats The Miz to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship for a fourth time after going for a schoolkid pin before hitting Trouble In Paradise after The Miz argues with the referee following getting caught putting his feet on the ropes for leverage. After the match, Matt Stryker interviews Kofi, who says it was time to let the beast out and that this match was one of the most grueling challenges of his career. Kofi says he knew he was in for the fight of his life, but he did it and is honored to be the next in a line of greats to hold the title. He then says that his title victory is proof that you can still have fun and still be a winner.

Backstage, Josh Mathews interviews The Miz, who says that losing the Intercontinental Championship is like losing an organ and that the title was stolen from him before wanting his title rematch to reclaim what is his.

Dolph Ziggler beats Zack Ryder. After the match, Vickie Guerrero says she does not care about Kofi Kingston beating The Miz for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and says everyone will be talking about Ziggler when he has the potential to cash in for the World Heavyweight Championship in two weeks. Ziggler says he deserves better than Zack Ryder, for he is the best thing going in sports entertainment today and he is the main event. He then challenges any Superstar in the back to a one-on-one match on next week's Main Event. When nobody seems to answer the challenge, Ziggler and Vickie are about to leave when Ryback shows up.

Saturday Morning Slam Masters - Saturday Morning Slam recap for October 13, 2012

Santino Marella guests on commentary this week.

The Miz beats Justin Gabriel after dodging a springboard moonsault to hit the Skull Crushing Finale (which is called the "Crushing Finale" to avoid giving the episode a TV-PG rating in America).

On The 3rd Degree, the WWE Superstars mention what their favorite Superstar entrance themes are.

We meet Jim Johnston in WWE's recording studio, who briefly describes his job as composer of WWE Superstar entrance themes past and present before playing a few themes on guitar. He gives the advice of not pre-deciding what to do if you go into music, and to get as good as you can so more opportunities can pop up in the future.

Justin Gabriel tells us: Don't try this. He also talks about how he tore every single in his left arm after performing the 450 Splash at WrestleMania.

Sin Cara beats Jinder Mahal. Sin Cara slides under the bottom rope instead of leaping over the top with the aid of an unseen trampoline before the match begins.

Now go watch two Sin Caras fight each other!

Wednesday Night's Main Event - Main Event recap for October 10, 2012

Michael Cole and The Miz welcome everyone to tonight's show.

We see a video package for Big Show. In the locker room, Josh Mathews interviews Big Show, who says he has to prove once again that he is the most dominant force in the company. After last week, he learned that the fans are fickle and that he should not cater to them anymore. He tells Mathews that his fist can break his face to the point that he can't move his jaw and he'll have a headache for six days, and when he beats Randy Orton again, it won't be a fluke.

We see a video package for Randy Orton. Backstage, Matt Stryker interviews Randy Orton, who says he is not here to make excuses. He says he will see Alberto Del Rio down the road very soon, and as for Big Show, he is not ashamed to have lost to him. He says that he does not like losing and that, while he does not believe lightning strikes twice, a viper can.

Big Show beats Randy Orton after repeatedly working on Randy Orton's injured ribs with four elbow drops prior to a Colossal Clutch followed by a choke slam. After the match, Matt Stryker interviews Show, who says that he will become the world's largest champion when he knocks Sheamus out at Hell In A Cell. The referee and a member of the medical staff is seen checking on Orton in the ring.

Backstage, Josh Mathews interviews Sheamus. He says that when Big Show caught his Brogue Kick on Raw, it stopped him in his tracks. He says that Big Show is perhaps his biggest challenge yet, but he looks forward to it as there is no bigger fight than Big Show. If he can beat Big Show at Hell In A Cell, that win will be so much sweeter.

Kofi Kingston beats Michael McGillicutty. After the match, The Miz interviews Kofi in the ring. Miz sarcastically congratulates Kofi on the win, then mocks Kofi for saying the match was fun, saying Kofi's attitude devalues everything in the ring and the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Miz goes on about being a "WrestleMania Hall of Famer," saying he didn't get there by being "a carefree hippie on a drumline" and says Kofi cheap shotted him on Raw because he can never be on his level and because it was the only way to beat him. Kofi says he has what it takes to do what Miz has accomplished, and says that maybe it is his plan to make Miz think he is a non-threat and that Miz won't truly know unless he faces him one-on-one in the ring. Miz tells Kofi to name the time and place, and Kofi says it will be next week on Main Event. Miz accepts, then Kofi says it will be with the Intercontinental Championship on the line. Miz laughs, then Kofi says he was Intercontinental Champion one year ago, and says that while Miz doesn't have to put it on the line, it only proves he was a better Intercontinental Championship than Miz ever will be. Miz tells Kofi that if he wants the Intercontinental title on the line, he's on, and Kofi says "Sounds like fun." Miz then tries to hit Kofi with a cheap shot, but Kofi connects with Trouble In Paradise before lifting the Intercontinental Championship into the air to end the show.

Santino Marella guests on commentary this week.

Dolph Ziggler tells us: Don't Try This.

Rey Mysterio beats Michael McGillicutty. Due to the show's strict regulations against moves aimed at the head and neck to keep the show rated TV-G in America, Rey Mysterio gets Michael McGillicutty in a seated position on the ropes during his attempt at the 619, and Rey kicks him in the rear end instead of the head. During the match, McGillicutty mocks Rey for his small size, gets tricked into hitting the ropes into near-exhaustion by Rey,

Don't be a bully, Be A S.T.A.R. Show tolerance and respect.

Santino Marella is this week's Saturday Morning Slam.

Daniel Bryan answers questions from the WWE Universe. When asked if he dreams of hamburgers, he says no, as he has no interest in hamburgers. When asked if he has ever made a mistake, he says he never does. When asked if he knows the taste of defeat, he says wins every match, even when he loses. When asked if he believes in unicorns, he says no, as they are "the stupidest fictional character [he] can imagine." When asked if he plays video games, he says no and that video games are for idiots. When asked if he likes magic, he says no, as magic is pure fiction and he is a man of science. When asked if he likes ice cream, he says yes, "especially ice cream made with almond milk." When asked if he wants a tag team partner, he says no as he can do everything by himself. When asked if he likes goats, he repeatedly screams "no" and walks away.

In this week's Video Vault, we see the debut of Mr. Socko on the October 5, 1998 episode of Raw.

On this week's The 3rd Degree, WWE Superstars debate who is better: The Cobra or Mr. Socko.

Next week: We meet Jim Johnston, the man behind WWE entrance themes past and present!

Santino Marella takes a moment to call the Cobra and Mr. Socko even, and hopes everyone enjoyed this week's episode.

Now go watch Maven eliminate The Undertaker!

Wednesday Night's Main Event - Main Event recap for October 3, 2012

Michael Cole and The Miz welcome everyone to tonight's show. We then see a video package for CM Punk, then we see Punk in the locker room, where he and Paul Heyman are interviewed by Matt Stryker. Punk says it does not get any bigger than champion vs. champion, but there is still a rampant disrespect and a lack of credit that he deserves. He looks forward to beating Sheamus, and maybe people will use proper manners and won't barge into the locker room for an interview afterwards. Heyman says that Punk will beat Sheamus because Punk is the best in the world. Backstage, Josh Mathews interviews Sheamus, who says that Punk and his campaign for respect will end when he makes Punk respect him the only way he knows how: by shoving his foot down his throat. We then see a video package for Sheamus.

CM Punk beats Sheamus in a Champion vs. Champion Match. During the match, CM Punk rips out a turnbuckle cover while trying to get away from Sheamus, but it does not work and he falls victim to the Ten Beats of the Bodhrain and White Noise. Later on in the match, Punk trips Sheamus into the exposed turnbuckle with a drop toe hold, and rolls Sheamus up before grabbing his tights to get the win. After the match, Matt Stryker interviews Sheamus in the ring. Sheamus takes the microphone and says that for the past few months, all he has heard about is CM Punk demanding respect, and the way the match ended proves why Punk does not get it. He refuses to cry about it or make excuses, and says that he will take it on the chin, and says that when he meets Punk again, Punk will be the one taking it on the chin from a Brogue Kick.

In the locker room, Josh Mathews interviews CM Punk and Paul Heyman. Heyman says that Punk has soundly defeated Sheamus, and if that is not demonstrative of being the best in the world, then he asks Mathews to explain what it takes for Punk to earn his respect. Heyman proceeds to mock Mathews' intelligence while putting Punk on a pedestal, then tells Mathews to leave.

Next week: Randy Orton vs. Big Show!

Backstage, Matt Stryker interviews Big Show. Big Show says that next week will be their first appearance on Main Event and Orton's first and last appearance on the show when Orton gets knocked out. The camera focuses on Big Show's fist as Big Show states that his fist will be the last thing Orton sees.

Santino Marella and Zack Ryder beat Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel to advance to the semi-finals of the #1 Contender's Tag Team Tournament.
