WWE Title Last Man Standing Match: John Cena (c) Def Ryback AR’s Truth: Ryback got the advantage but if you really think that WWE is going to take the belt off there boy a month after he won the title then your crazy. Ryback got the push but fell flat. #1 Contender’s I QUIT Match: Alberto Del Rio Def Jack Swagger AR’s Truth: Dolp is a heel champion, why have a Heel vs. Heel match when you could have a Face Vs. Heel match. WWE is really behind ADR & he gets the W. Steel Cage Match: Brock Lesnar Def HHH AR’s Truth: HHH has been pushed to the moon in this feud. Yes he got the win at wrestlemania 29 but at the end of the day WWE has to make money off lesnar down the road for future feuds. Lesnar with the help of Heyman gets it done but by a hair. US Title Match: Dean Ambrose Def Kofi Kingston © AR’s Truth: Kofi Is the holder for the title for now & its made for Dean. Will he get it here i hope. The shield needs to own the mid card titles for now. Tag Team Title Tornado Match: The Shield (Rollins and Reigns) Def Team Hell No © AR’s Truth: The shield is the future & Team hell no has had the straps for awhile. Maybe they win here but i would like to see it. This will be a great match & one im really looking forward too. Strap Match: Sheamus Def Mark Henry  AR’s Truth: Once again a revenge match that Sheamus will get. Any questions? Extreme Rules Match: Randy Orton Def The Big Show AR’s Truth: Show as got the upperhand on most of the encounters. It doesn’t make sense to have Orton lose & needs a kick in the ass for a push. It seems like he is just so out of balance. Fandango Def Chris Jericho AR’s Truth: Jericho has gotten the latest push & wants his revenge. Fandango needs more here as he is the future of the company & is here on a full time schedule.  YouTube Pre-Show: The Miz Def Cody Rhodes AR’s Truth: They need a quick start & giving the audience something to be excited about. This makes it start off right.  This PPV has the possibility of having a really good night & some good title changes. Will WWE do that? who knows We will have live coverage of the ppv tonight at 6:30CT right here on the site. See yall then.

Angel De Oro vs Dragon Rojo Jr in a Relampago Match First fall saw Angel De Oro hit a Tope Suicida to the floor onto Rojo.  Dragon Rojo came off the tope with a double stomp to De Oro's back onto the floor.  Angel De Oro used an Asai Moonsault to the floor on Dragon Rojo Jr.  De Oro got a near fall with a Huracanranna.  Dragon Rojo Jr got a near fall with a double foot stomp to De Oro's midsection from the top rope.  Dragon Rojo won the match with a slingshot Sitout Powerbomb.   Final thoughts:  Just ok, nothing really great.  Crowd was mediocre throughout the match.   Namajague/Vangellys/Okumura vs Rey Cometa/Valiente/Hijo Del Fantasma. Rudos took the first fall when Namagague pinned Rey Cometa with a Plancha from the top rope and Okumura loked Valiente in a Camel Clutch and rolled forward hooking Valiente's shoulders with his legs for the pin.  In the second fall, Rey Cometa hit his Cometa Especial, which looked great, on Namajague onto the floor.  During the second fall both Valiente & Hijo El Fantasma hit simultaneous Tope Suicida's on both Okumura & Vangellys.  Meanwhile in the ring, Cometa pinned Namajague with a 450 Splash and Okumura & Vangellys were both couinted out giving the Techniocos the win.  Technicos ended up winning the match when Valiente made Vangellys tap to an armbarr & Fantasma made Okumura tap to a Boston Crab.   Final Thoughts:  It wasnt as good as some the previous tags with Cometa & Namajague but Cometa's flying was still excellent.  Crowd still kind of dead for the match.   Commadante Pierroth/Rey Escorpion/Bobby Zavala vs Mascara Dorada/Blue Panther/La Mascara Rey Escorpion pinned La Mascara with a sitout Powerbomb and Bobby Zavala used a modified STF to tap out Blue Panther for the first fall.  Technicos won the second fall when Blue Panther had Bobby Zavala in an Adominal Stretch and turned it into a cradle for the pin and Dorada pinned Escorpion with a Sunset Flip.   Nice spot in the third fall when Dorada dove over the tope rope and hit an armdrag in midair.  Rudos were disqualified when Commandante Pierroth hit La Mascara with a garbage can lid.    Winners:  Blue Panther/Mascara Dorada/La Mascara   Final Thoughts:  Match was really good due to the third fall.  Dorada really looked great and this match got the biggest crowd reaction.   Mark Black Pittsburgh PA

More Details on "WWE 2K14" Game Release We reported last week that "WWE 2K14" will be released in the U.S. on 10/29, and according to The Wrestling Observer the game is set to be released internationally on 11/1. As we previously noted, the game will only be released on the XBox and Playstation consoles, as the feeling is the Wii system is no longer a viable platform.
