Nov. 27, 2013 - Who's Next to Face Bo?

This week in WWE, Randy Orton whined again because Mummy and Daddy weren't paying enough attention to him anymore. But then, with the Almighty Cena back on the strength, why should the Authority care about Glass Jaw Randy? Meanwhile, the midcard kept heating up, as the Shield continued to dominate, as Roman "reigns" supreme at Survivor Series, and Rey Mysterio returned after duct-taping his knees back together.

Oh, and CM Punk & Daniel Bryan formed the Greatest Of All Teams (G.O.A.T.s), only to run afoul of the Wyatt Family as they dragged D-Bry off for some time in Room 101.

Down in NXT Land, while Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville fought to determine who would be the next in line to vie for the NXT Championship, other wrestlers were picking fights left and right. Bayley stood up to the BFFs and issued a challenge to them. Hunico & Camacho continued to gun for the Ascension, and Antonio Cesaro appears to have a bone to pick with William Regal...

Nov. 20, 2013 - Can Sami Beat The Clock?

This week in WWE, Raw got "Country." Which was basically an excuse to play music that the rest of the nation and, indeed, the world doesn't really care about.  Well, 3MB continued their recent habit of "rebranding" themselves to try to appeal to the crowd, but using an actual branding iron would probably work better at this point.  Randy Orton continued his whiny entitled bitch champion persona, while WWE tried to make John Cena look vulnerable without actually looking weak. (Something which never works.)

But more importantly than that, NXT guys made good this week on the main roster!  Big E Langston (former NXT Champion) won the Intercontinental Championship from Curtis Axel, and Xavier Woods debuted as the tag partner of R-Truth, prompting dozens of 'Truth and Consequences reunion' jokes on the Twitter machine.

Down in NXT Land, with the "Bo Dallas vs. The World" tour complete, Interim GM JBL announced a 'Beat The Clock' Challenge to determine a number-one contender. While notables like Rusev, Aiden English, Adrian Neville, BIG CASS, and a returning Sami Zayn vied for the coveted spot, Hunico & Camacho turned up and immediately put the Ascension on notice. But the real question on everyone's mind was: Can Sami beat the clock?

Nov. 13, 2013 - The Man That Gravity Forgot

This week in WWE, they celebrated US Veterans' Day by broadcasting Raw from the UK. The Authority took a vacation, leaving Vickie Guerrero, First Citizen Kane, and Brad Mad Ox squabbling over who got to run the shows. John Cena battled the Real Americans again. A rivalry started forming between The Shield and the Wyatt Family over who got to attack Daniel Bryan and CM Punk. Curtis Axel started becoming less relevant.

Oh, and Big Show channeled his Stone Cold as he arrived, raised hell, and left to go get a pint.

Down in NXT Land, the Beautiful Fierce Females gained a new member. The Artiste had a clash of styles with Camacho. The United Kingdom exploded when Wales fought England. And Adrian Neville once again looked for retribution against Corey Graves.

Nov. 6, 2013 - Harper Has a New Plaything, Oh No!

This week in WWE, The Big Show got his job back!  Randy Orton continues to be a douchebag! Alberto Del Rio called people "gringo perros!" John Cena and the Brothers Rhodes fought the Real Americans and Damien Sandow! Big E Langston got to hang with the WWE Champion! CM Punk and Daniel Bryan took the fight to the Wyatt Family!

But none of that matters, because Kane wore a suit! Holy crap, you guys!

Down in NXT Land, the BFFs started looking for a potential new recruit. Leo Kruger returned and started looking to make an impact. Alexander Rusev has a new manager. NXT's These Guys continue to struggle against the Ascension. Mojo Rawley stays hyped!, and in the main event, Luke Harper tried to break his "new plaything" in Kassius Ohno.

Oct. 30, 2013 - CJ Parker shoots the Breeze

First, apologies to the five or six people that read this for the delay in this installment. My grandfather passed away the last weekend, so doing another edition for this blog was low on my priorities.

This week in WWE, Smarkageddon began.  Daniel Bryan lost inside Hell in a Cell, thanks to some last-minute Sweet Chin Music from HB-Shizzle, paving the way for the Authority's hand-picked "Face of the WWE" Randy Orton to claim the title once again.  They teased a potential student-vs-mentor feud when Bryan put Shawn Michaels in the Yes Lock on Raw, but the Wyatt Family sent him to the hospital a local medical facility, suggesting he'll be feuding with them.  Not content with taking one smark darling out of the title hunt, a triumphant CM Punk-- having finally put Paul Heyman to sleep and then decisively beating The Ryback again-- was also left bleeding by the Wyatt Family.  All the smarks' favorites appear to be getting pushed down the card, to make room for the Big Show in his feud against the Authority.

Oh, and Alberto Del Rio lost the World Heavyweight Championship to some guy named John Cena, who also successfully defended it against Money in the Bank holder Damien Sandow. I dunno, I think WWE wants this Cena guy to become a big deal, fairly quick.

Down in NXT Land, Thanksgiving came early as a couple servings of squash were handed out.  The rivalry between the BFFs and Paige & Emma continued to simmer, especially as Paige and Emma seem poised to erupt into a feud in their own right. In an unlikely main event, 'Moonchild' CJ Parker looks to avenge the loss of two of his dreadlocks against the vain Tyler Breeze.
