Vickie Guerrero comes out with Paul Heyman & she says doing the right thing isn't always the right thing when your talking about the rock situation. Heyman kiss Vickie's ass with saying she is the best Gm they have. She brings up a highlight from last weeks Rock concert when he is making fun of Paul Heyman & Vickie Guerrero. Vickie says she is embarrassed & bans him from the arena. Then adds he will be arrested if he enters the arena. The rock is shown & is mad that he cannot be in the arena. The Rock says She is screwing the peoples. He says there is nothing that will stop him from being in the middle of his ring. He says they should arrest CM Punk , Paul Heyman & Vickie, he makes fun of them while doing it. He says he will be in the ring & he guarantees it. She makes fun of the rock with his catch phrases.
AR's Truth: An okay segment by vickie & Paul. Vickie is i guess being back to being a heel? Heyman did what he does best with not saying to much but what he says makes an impact. The rock did some classic stuff that got his point over. Him saying he will make it into the arena is ok but interesting to see how he does it.
Through out the night they will have beat the clock challenges to see who has the fastest time & they get to choice there Royal Rumble Spot.
AR's Truth: An interesting way to get tonight's show a gimmick & still hypes up the Rumble PPV.

Basic Stuff to kick it off with takedowns then Antonio cinches a headlock takeover and gets a pair of two counts. Antonio with a shoulder block for a one count. Orton counters a headlock, but Cesaro with a body shot and an uppercut, but Randy comes back with the Thesz Press. Cesaro blocks a suplex into an inside cradle for two. Orton with a dropkick for two.

AR's Truth: An long match for Beat the clock match but not bad at all. I do feel like they book these guys way too much on Tv but that's just me. Not the best way to get a guy over when he is trying to be a heel & to defeat another heel. Solid Match - 2.5-5 Stars*

AR's Truth: Very short match, Maybe a minute. I like they made show have a very short match but not over Ryder as i am a mark for that guy. The cool thing is he had he's internet Championship.

AR's Truth: A short/ Jobber Match that made Ryback look good & got some promo time. Good stuff there. The rock now looks smart & not Very cartoonish. He talked the cops into something so its still interesting. Also they are standing into the arena so why they keep saying he isn't makes no sense.
Cm Punk & Paul Heyman comes out, Punk says the wwe Title is the most important thing to him. He says that the wwe title is prestigious but to the rock its the fans. He says in 6 days that he will still be the WWE Champion.
AR"s Truth: Honestly decent stuff from him, He is sometimes the best promo guy there but he's promos are getting a little old but you have to compete with the rock so its not far.

AR's Truth: A very good match but the memo of the beat the clock challenge was thrown out the window. It felt like one but lasted & only knocked off a couple seconds but it doesn't bother me at all because that was a hell of a match. Good match - 3.5-5 Stars*
Team Hell No have there Anger Management Graduation time. They go back & forth about who is gonna give a speech but then DR Shelby want them to hug so they go on a chant for everyone to hug each other. Then all three guys hug it out in the ring.

AR's Truth: A decent promo by heyman but the rock came in, delivered & was great on the mic getting his point over. From this point the rock has gotten the better of punk on the mic but then the lights went out & the shield laid him out. I love the shield storyline & we all know they are with Punk but was it necessary to cut all the momentum from under the rock? Maybe but Punk has all of it going into this Sunday PPV.
