Feb. 19, 2014 - Impending Arrival

This week in WWE, it was made emphatically clear that Daniel Bryan is meant to be the "underdog" in the Elimination Chamber (having to wrestle multiple matches in a row twice in one week will do that), while Antonio Cesaro is the "dark horse," owing to his defeat of Randy Orton and hard-fought match against the Almighty Cena.  The Shield/Wyatt Family rivalry finally exploded into an epic staredown/brawl, and the Usos seem poised to take the Tag Titles off the Old New Age Outlaws.

Oh, and the Network is coming next week!

Down in NXT Land, preparations for NXT's "Arrival" on the Network were in full swing. Emma kept her momentum strong going into her match with Paige. Sami Zayn and Cesaro have a tense sit-down interview. And Tyler Breeze looked to try to rearrange Adrian Neville's face.

Feb. 12, 2014 - Rivalries on Arrival

This week in WWE, The Authority continued to make Randy Orton "run the gauntlet" of his challengers at the Elimination Chamber, losing to both Antonio Cesaro and perennial rival John Cena, in a match that Cena implied was the end of their rivalry.  Meanwhile, Daniel Bryan continues to have issues with The Authority and in particular Corporate Kane, while The Shield and the Wyatt Family heated up their own feud as we speed toward the next PPV.

Oh, and no matter what WWE might want you to think, C.M. Punk still exists, and no amount of ignoring the chants will change that.

Down in NXT Land, the BFFs proved their true colors in a six-Divas tag match against Emma, Natalya, and Bayley, BIG CASS clashed with the Artiste, CJ Parker has a smaller carbon footprint than you, and things got creepy as the Wyatt Family made a return.

Feb. 5, 2014 - Speed Bumps on the Road

This week in WWE, the Yes Movement continued to pick up momentum as Daniel Bryan picked up a key victory over Randy Orton, although it appears that Corporate Kane is going to be a thorn in D-Bry's side for the near future.  The Shield and the Wyatt Family continue their war of words, with neither side showing any fear of the other, although an issue continues to simmer between Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.

And WWE is now pretending that CM Punk doesn't exist, as they have not mentioned him on air since last week.

Oh, and this week on Raw, the Emmalution was televised as Emma herself made her 'debut' in a dance-off with Summer Rae! But more on that below the break.

Down in NXT Land, while things steam toward NXT Arrival on February 27, the Rusev Legacy continues to slowly build momentum, while France battles Wales, English battles Canada, and as a heated rivalry erupts again as Corey Graves looks to avenge his concussion on the man who gave it to him, Adrian Neville.

Jan. 29, 2014 - Don't Take Your Eye Off the Ball

This week, the WWE Universe, as one, declared they were sick to death of Cena-vs-Orton Part LVIII.  They declared that they would rather watch the Divas wrestle than the Superman or the 'Face' of the WWE.  They stated that they did not want to see Dave Batista headline Wrestlemania. They demanded one man in their main event, and that man's name was Daniel Bryan.

Down in NXT Land, The Ascension continued their utter domination of the remnants of NXT's tag division, Corey Graves re-started the filth parade, Bayley kept fighting her way through the BFFs, Big Cass looked to rearrange Tyler Breeze's face, The Miz fought CJ Parker in a match no one really cared about, and Bo Dallas and Adrian Neville got on the train toward NXT Arrival...

Be warned, readers, I go off on a bit of a rant below the break.

Jan 22, 2013 - Can Neville Beat The Clock?

This week in WWE, Randy Orton was shunned, shunned, for his actions the week before. Brock Lesnar threw a hissy fit when Big Show proved capable of once again picking him up like a small child. CM Punk accepted Kane's apology for last week's chokeslam in the most assholish way possible. BIG DAVE (aka Batista) returned and put Orton officially On Notice.  And Daniel Bryan returned from death by concussion to continue his issue with the Wyatt Family.

Oh, and we're just days away from THE ROYAL F***ING RUMBLE!!

Down in NXT Land, Adrian Neville got back on the path toward an NXT Championship shot, the BFFs continued their issue with Natalya & Bayley, Xavier Woods looked for revenge on Alexander Rusev, and Antonio Cesaro had a face-to-face with Sami Zayn.

Jan. 15, 2014 - Getting Back to Basics

This week in WWE, CM Punk got screwed over by the WWE Legends (and known HHH Friends) the New Age Outlaws, leading to yet another Shield beat-down for the Best in the World. Big Show laid down a challenge to Brock Lesnar for the Royal Rumble, much to Paul Heyman's amusement.  Randy Orton snapped after an upset loss to Kofi Kingston and took out his frustrations at the first person he saw, who happened to be John Cena's father.

And Daniel Bryan got Bray Wyatt alone in a steel cage, where he promptly got his retribution by kicking his damn head in.  And the WWE Universe screamed "YES!!!"

Down in NXT Land, things got back to basics with a wrestling-heavy episode, as we are on track to NXT's first live broadcast from Full Sail University.

Jan. 8, 2014 - The Ascension Goes Tornado

This week in WWE, we went Old School! Notables such as Rowdy Roddy Piper, 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair, and Diamond Dallas Page dropped by, with appearances by less notables such as 'Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase, I.R.S., Nikolai Volkoff, Too Cool & Rikishi, and others. Plus, the Shield's Dean Ambrose got to go eye-to-eye with his spiritual father as none other than Jake 'The Snake' Roberts made a surprise appearance and shoved a snake in his face.

Also, Daniel Bryan Wyatt made his re-debut and appears to have assimilated fairly well into the hillbilly cult. Which is just terrifying.

But more importantly than that, this week, we got confirmation that the WWE Network is A Thing That Is Actually Happening, and it looks freaking awesome.

Down in NXT Land, Bayley continued to seek retribution on the BFFs, The Authority hasn't forgotten about Xavier Woods, The Artiste continued to press his issue with BIG CASS, and in the main event, The Ascension went to war with Hunico & Camacho in a Tornado Tag Match.
