It’s Birthday Time in the Tony House, and I’m ready to watch some wrasslin with my favorite Monday people! Leggo!!!
We start tonight’s show with the end of last weeks show, featuring The Big Show Yessin his lil heart out. After the recap, the music of Triple H hits as Memphis welcomes us to the show! Steph and Triple H walk out, hand in hand, then pose atop the stage like they’re at Prom. After what seemed like a whole bunch of shilling from Cole, Stephanie claims that we are all just jealous. She brings up Hell in A Cell, the return of John Cena, AJ Lee facing Brie Bella for the Butterfly Belt, and CM Punk competing against Heyman and Ryback. She then brings up the WWE Title, and guarantees a new WWE Champion. The man that guarantees there will be a WWE Champion is a man that we trust, and Triple H trusts him, too. He trusts HBK because he respects him more than anyone in the WWE.
Big Show comes outta nowhere on the big ol tron sayin that Triple H doesn’t know the meaning of respect. He says they push their weight around because they can. Steph is questioning people ringside, wondering how Show is showing up on their scren. Triple H calls Show a loser, says he’s made millions yet he’s broke. Show is looking for the hand out, the free ride, but there is no free ride, he’s done, and Triple H is glad he’s done. Show wants to know why he’s so mad? Mad because Show is suing him for the money, the slander? Marital constortion? Or, did Triple H just wake up on the wrong side of the bed, then again, considering his bed mate – any side of the bed is wrong.
Steph tells him to shut up, but Big Show tells her to shut up then lists all of the stuff Steph has taken from him. Steph starts a countdown and gets Show turned off. Triple H says that The Big Show goes out with a wimper, so on with the show….
That was kinda sloppy.
Triple H wants to introduce the first person in the match….Dean Ambrose! But instead, it’s the music of Daniel Bryan that plays.

We return to the beautiful voice of Justin Roberts introducing CM Punk. He’s here with a mic and points towards the ring. Opting to stay atop the ramp, Punk mentions this Sunday. He says that Ryback and Heyman are going to be locked inside the HIAC structure with him. The thing about the structure itself ain’t that it’s for just settling scores and ending issues, but its a legacy creator, and he knows his legacy will be defined based on what it is he does to Heyman once he catches him. Heyman thinks Ryback is going to save him, but they’re both going to be locked in there with the devil who will do whatever it takes to get the job done. And the job this time isn’t specifically winning or losing, no. His plans isn’t to pin Heyman to the mat, he’s going to enjoy watching Heyman squirm like a little worm on a big hook. He is going to corner Heyman then grab him and smash his face into every single inch of steel. Sunday night, three men walk into the structure, and only one walks out under his own power, and you best believe that man is the best in the world.

Stephanie brings up The Big Show, wondering how he was able to get the feed. HBK brings up how often they would mess with stuff back in the days, and how funny Steph thought it was. He says they’ve grown up, and that’s a shame, ut he doesn’t have to, and bounces away…

We get a recap of Friday where Big E. helped Punk out with Axel and Ryback. Renee Young is with Heyman and Axel to talk about Sunday. Heyman says it will be a public execution. He gets all crazy with it, extending a metaphor of lava and house destruction way further than it has any right to go. It’s a beautiful monologue, though, and Heyman is fuckin nuts. Heyman says he has control, though. He controls his monster Ryback, and CM Punk cannot get past Ryback, which means Punk can’t get his hands on Heyman. Punk is locked in a cell with Heyman, not the other way around. In comes Big E, says “Who is a marginal talent, now?” Then Ryback asks where his manners are?

It’s official; Triple Threat Tag Team Title Match at Hell in a Cell, y’all.
We’re back to the show, and Triple H is in the middle of the ring with Steph. The table is set up for the contract signing. Orton is announced as “The Face of the WWE” and makes his way out, pink-snaked shirt and all. Daniel Bryan is next, and Triple H isn’t excited to see him at all. He gives him some applause, though, as King questions the sincerity of it. Triple H announces the special guest referee, he riddles off the nicknames of HBK then welcomes him to the ring. HBK is here. He shakes the hand of Bryan, gives HHH a playful hug, then grabs the mic. Steph speaks, but the crowd starts an HBK chant. She gives the floor to Orton. Orton says he must give credit where it’s due. Every week he has beaten Bryan down, and he keeps getting right back up. This Sunday, Bryan will not be getting right back up. He has survived against The Undertaker at Hell in a Cell. He has beaten Sheamus and John Cena inside that cell. He can say with the utmost confidence that Bryan has no idea what he’s getting into. He will be making sure that Bryan’s very first HIAC will be his absolute last. Orton signs the contract.
Bryan on the mic, and he expects nothing less from Orton. He pushes him to the limit every week, but they both know that if it weren’t for The Shield, the Authority, or Triple H, he’d be the Champion right now. They both know, also, that he is more than capable of smashing in that so-called face of the WWE. With that said, he’s got two words for ya…….THANK YOU. He thanks Orton for pushing him, for allowing him to prove that he is way more than a B+ player, and thanks for exposing Trips and Steph as the selfish, insecure, narcissistic, spoiled brats that they really are. Bryan signs the contract.
Triple H has a thing. He says he’s seen guys like Bryan come and go a million times. Guys like Jericho, Edge, RVD, all guys that are very talented, top guys, very popular, but not THE ONE. NEVER were they THE ONE. Maybe no one wants to say this, but it needs to be said; it’s a fact. If any of those guys would have been the face of the WWE back in the day, they’d all be working for Ted Turner right now. He says that come Sunday, all Bryan is going to do is prove to the world that he’s a B+ player.
Bryan says Trips sure does talk a big game behind that suit. Why doesn’t he trade it in for wrestling gear, and Bryan will show him how good he is. That statement shows Bryan how out of it he is, says Triple H. Trips says if he gets back in the ring, which he is capable of doing, it would be against a star…it sure as hell wouldn’t be for Daniel Bryan. It’s what he doesn’t understand. Triple H fights stars because they want to fight a star. They wouldn’t waste time and neither is he fighting someone like Bryan. Shawn Michaels never should have wasted his time training him.
HBK interjects. He says he didn’t waste his time; Bryan is good…very good. He’s gotta ask, what has happened to Trips? What happened to the guy that raged against the machine with him, that drove the tank into WCW? What happened to the dude that played strip poker. They were half nekkid, yo! He hopes Trips can understand this; he doesn’t care that TRiple H is the COO. He doesn’t care that he trained Bryan. What he cares about is that these people voted for him to be a ref and crown a champ, and that’s exactly what he’s going to give them.
Orton is on the mic, and says that HBK has an agenda against Orton. Triple H looks at HBK, says no Randy, at the end of the day, Shawn will do what’s right. HBK says he will do what’s right. He’s going to do what’s right for the business he loves, for the business we love. He asks HHH what he has against Bryan. Is it cuz of the height? The insanely grotesque beard? Because he marches to the beat of a different drum, or is it because after everything you’ve thrown at Bryan….it’s turned out that he proved HHH wrong…
Orton again. Bryan can’t beat him, he knows it’s true. This Sunday, “Dan,” he’s going to take this A+ player straight to hell. He starts a yes chant, but Bryan moves the table.
On the screen, there’s a big rig driving in the back. It’s leaving the arena…..it’s The Big Show, and he’s runnin into trash cans for no reason. He’s heading somewhere….he comes out rampside and honks the horn. The hell?
Big Show opens the door and just starts a YES Chant. He tells Orton to turn around, and BAM! Bryan hits him with a knee to the face!!
