WWE SmackDown (11/23/12) "We Need to Talk About Dolph"

"Then. Now. Forever." The WWE video leads us into the show.

The Smackdown video plays, and we're brought into the arena with some fireworks. Michael Cole and Mick Foley welcome us to the show live from Cleveland, Ohio. They show a highlight video from the World Heavyweight Championship match at Survivor Series where Team Ziggler defeated Team Orton thanks to interference by the Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho. Randy Orton comes out to a big crowd reaction. Orton says that last Sunday at SS he got robbed out of his World Heavyweight title. He says that he lost the title with being pinned and Dolph Ziggler is the new World Champion without having to move a finger. Orton says that's all because of one man, Chris Jericho. He says that he and Jericho go back a long time ago in history with many matches and beat downs. Orton says that apparently Jericho did what he did because he has an issue with him and not because he wanted to make Dolph Ziggler the World Heavyweight Champion. But in either way he doesn't care because all he wants right now is for Chris Jericho to come down to the ring so they can settle this for good. Jericho comes out and stays on the ramp. Jericho asks Randy if he remembers how many superstars has he taken out over the years with the vicious kick to the skull that he uses. Orton says no but he would love to add one more name on the list right now. Jericho takes us back two years ago when Orton kicked him in the skull so hard that almost ended his career. Jericho says that he had to stay off of WWE for 1 and a half year because of that kick. He says that he was at his best and he was ready to become World Champion but Orton ruined all that. He says that he had a concusion and head trauma. He says that he suffered for 1,5 year because of Randy Orton. Orton says we heard enough crying. He wants to know why now and not why didn't Jericho got his revenge when he returned to the WWE this past January. Jericho says that when he came back people were expecting him to go after the man that took him out. He says that at that point Orton had nothing to lose because he wasn't a World Champion. So he sat back and waited. He waited and waited until the right moment came along. The moment that he would change everything and it would be the end of the world as we know it. He says that his cryptic promos were intended to Randy Orton all along but Randy had no idea. He says that last Sunday he finally got the opportunity he was looking for. He costed Randy Orton what is most important for him, the World Heavyweight Championship. Dolph Ziggler is the new World Champion and this is the end of the world as we know it. The end of the world with Randy Orton on top as the World Champion. Orton says we had enough talking. He tells Jericho to get in the ring so he can kick him harder in the head. Jericho says it's not going to happen that way. He says that if Orton wants revenge he has to give up his rematch clause for the World title and face Jericho at Armageddon. Jericho says he is willing to put his Intercontinental title on the line. Orton says it's on but the title is only a bonus because his goal at Armageddon will be kicking Jericho's skull off of his shoulders.

WWE SmackDown (12/28/12)

"Then. Now. Forever." The WWE video leads us into the show.

The Smackdown video plays, and we're brought into the arena with some fireworks. Michael Cole and Mick Foley welcome us to the show live from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They plug that tonight the WWE Tag Team Champions Kane and CM Punk will be in action. Plus, the new Intercontinental Champion Randy Orton will face Wade Barrett.

The World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler comes out. Ziggler says that despite what everybody thought he defeated Sheamus at Armageddon and he's still the World Champion. He says that every since he won the title at Survivor Series, people said that he was'nt worthy of being World Champion. He says that last Sunday he proved all these people wrong and he shoved down everybody's throat that he is the World Heavyweight Champion and this will not change for a long time. He then shows a video package with numerous WWE superstars like John Cena, Christian and Big Show telling him that he will lose to Sheamus at Armageddon. Ziggler says that now no one can doubt his dominance. He says that from now on people are forced to respect and recognize who the World Champion is. Eric Bischoff comes out and congratulates Ziggler. Bischoff says that last Sunday Ziggler survived Sheamus' wrath and retained the World title in an amazing one on one contest. Bischoff says that however the way he won the match was legal but not impressive enough for the board of directors. He says that this was Ziggler's first World title defense in a PPV and he won by count out. He says that the WWE Champioship match ended with a beat down, it ended with action. He says that the way Ziggler won was clever and inovative but unfortunately, not good enough. Ziggler says that doesn't even make sense. He says that he stole the show last night and during the Hell in a Cell match between Brock Lesnar and Triple H people were still talking about how he defeated Sheamus. Bischoff tells him that he didn't pin him. He says that tonight we will have a non title rematch and if Sheamus wins he gets one more shot for the World title at the Royal Rumble. However, if Ziggler wins, he gets to pick who will be his opponent for the World title at the Royal Rumble. Ziggler asks if he can pick anyone and Bischoff says anyone except Santino Marella. Sheamus then comes out to the stage and he says that his foot feels ok now. He says he spend the last three days with his foot wrapped up but unfortunately for Ziggler tonight he is clear to use the Brogue kick. Sheamus says that tonight he will make things right and at the Royal Rumble he will become the new World Champion.

The Raw video plays, and we're brought into the arena with some fireworks. Michael Cole, JBL and Jerry "The King" Lawler welcome us to the show live from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Tonight the last Raw of the year is dedicated to the memories that 2012 has provided us with.

The WWE Champion John Cena comes out to the ring.

Cena says that this is the very last night of 2012 and it has been an awesome year with it's ups and downs. He says that 2012 might as well be the biggest year in John Cena's career, from beating the Rock at WrestleMania to becoming an 11-time WWE Champion. He says that 2012 has come and gone, yet the best is yet to come with the future looking bright. He says that 2013 will bring the opportunity to various new WWE Superstars to shine and make a name for themselves.

2013 will also bring an opportunity to him as well. He says that on the first PPV of the year, John Cena will go face to face with Bill Goldberg for the first time ever! And even though this is an opportunity for Goldberg to win one of the very few Championship he has yet to win in his career, it's also an opportunity for John Cena to grow his legacy even further by defeating one more legendary superstar that only a handful of people in the entire world can say that they have beat.

He says that tonight Bill Goldberg is here and he wants to come out and talk. He says that he is out here to do more than talk. Last week Goldberg came out and speared him down, so tonight it's only fair he gets a chance to get some payback. Cena calls out Goldberg right here, right now so they can do this.

Instead of Bill Goldberg, Curtis Axel comes out along with his tag team partner Mason Ryan much to the annoyance of John Cena and the crowd.

Axel says that 2012 might have been John Cena's career but 2013 will belong to RyAxel! He says that tonight he wants 2012 to end with the man who is better than Perfect beating the so called face that runs the place. He challenges Cena to a match tonight.

Cena says he was expecting a monster of a man out here but instead he got Beauty and the Beast. Of course that is if you can really call Mason Ryan a beauty. He says it's on!

Axel holds Ryan back from getting in the ring as he gets set to face the 11 time WWE Champion up next!
