Before this post begins, I have some announcements to make regarding this series. As a commitment to keep this series running as long as possible, I'm introducing my first schedule for this blog. These posts will be aimed to go up on the day when they take place in game, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. This post will go up on Thursday, March 17th, and Extreme Rules will take place on Sunday, March 20th. Raw will be on the 21st, and so on. I may end up not holding up to this schedule, no promises there, but I do promise to try my best to keep them coming. Also, the Universe Mode Champions page(check it out, it's pretty cool!) will no longer be updated whenever I feel like it, but updated after the title change has taken place. With that, let's get into it.

Week 4
Smackdown
Location: Cleveland, OH
Prime Time Players(c) vs Tyson Kidd and Cesaro- WWE Tag Team Title Match
Nikki Bella vs Kaitlyn
Dean Ambrose and Austin Aries vs Booker T and Dolph Ziggler
The Rock vs Kevin Owens
Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton- If Bryan wins, the WWE Title Match at Extreme Rules is a Triple Threat
Summary:
With just 2 days until Extreme Rules, the stakes could not be higher as Smackdown opened with a Tag Title defense, after Kidd and Cesaro were crowned number one contenders last week. The champs gained the early advantage, functioning well as a team and scoring an early near fall. They continued to dominate the match, and Titus hit his Pumphandle Slam and covered Kidd while Darren Young stood guard for the easy pinfall. It was the first title defense for the Prime Time Players, and they looked fantastic. Our next match saw the new Diva's champ, Nikki Bella in action against Kaitlyn. Nikki had been absolutely vicious over the past few weeks, and continued that streak early on against Kaitlyn. She beat the hell out Kaitlyn, connecting on the Rack Attack, but Kaitlyn somehow kicked out. Nikki was undettered, but Kaitlyn fought back, countering an attempt at the forearm smash from Nikki. Just went it looked like Kaitlyn might get back into it, Nikki hit two straight big knees and ended it with another Rack Attack. After the match, Nikki wasn't through, seeking to put Kaitlyn through the announce table when AJ Lee's music hit! The former Diva's champ arrived to save her friend, taking out Nikki, and declaring that at Extreme Rules, the two would face off once more for the Diva's Title. Up next we had a tag match featuring two of the rivals for the United States Title, Dean Ambrose and Booker T. The match was chaotic, contested at a frenzied pace. There were several big spots, including Ziggler's mega suplex to Ambrose. The match ended when Austin Aries hit a Brainbuster on Ziggler, picking up the win for his team. After the match, WWE officials had to hold Ambrose and Booker apart, as the two men are prepared for war on Sunday. Our final preliminary match featured the WWE Champion in action against Kevin Owens, who had been trash talking him on Twitter, and had been offered quite the opportunity. The Rock was fired up for this match, and came out of the blocks swinging, taking down KO early on. Owens was not about to get dominated, though, and fought back, hitting several big offensive maneuvers. The Rock countered, however, hitting a big superplex and following up with the People's Elbow, but Owens kicked out. KO wasn't finished, shockingly hitting The Rock's own move, the Rock Bottom, but The Rock then kicked out. The Rock then looked for his own Rock Bottom, but Owens countered into a Pop-Up Powerbomb, which The Rock then kicked out of. The Rock then surprised KO, rolling him up and keeping him down for the 3 count. After the match, The Rock finally hit the Rock Bottom and posed with his belt.
Following last week's shocking upset, Daniel Bryan faced Randy Orton in the main event, with a potential WWE title shot on the line. Orton was pretty steamed after loosing last week, and went to work right away. His devastating offense delivered to Bryan on the outside of the ring showed just how deadly the Viper can be, but he was unable to put Bryan away. Orton tried everything, but Bryan kept kicking out. RKOs, Punt Kicks, anything and everything Orton could think of, Bryan kept kicking out. Eventually, the Viper just lost control, and took the easy way out, pummeling Bryan with a steel chair. The ref rang for the bell, but couldn't get the chair away from Orton, who continued to beat Bryan with it. With Bryan absolutely taking a beating, who would come to the rescue but The Rock, fresh off his own match, who chased Orton from the ring. The Rock then turned around, saw Bryan was stirring, and hit him with a thunderous Rock Bottom, sending a message to both of his challengers. With the match now a triple threat, can the People's Champion walk out of Extreme Rules with his title? You'll have to tune in to find out!
That will do it for Smackdown, up next is Extreme Rules, which is this Sunday. In the main event, The Rock will face Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton, with the WWE Title on the line. That's right, Smackdown will get the first Pay Per View main event of the series. I hope you've enjoyed, and I hope to see you again this Sunday.
