WWE 2019 Rebooking Project

[Wardlow on Wardlow 54]

So, I decided to start a rather ambitious fantasy booking project. Starting with the Raw and Smackdown after WrestleMania 35, I will be doing a rebook of 2019 as it's happening. I will be posting shows three times a week: Raw will go up on Tuesday/Wednesday, Smackdown on Thursday and 205 Live over the weekend. So, without further ado, we begin with the Raw After Mania!


Raw After Mania, 4/8/19
Raw began with the new Universal Champion Seth Rollins making his way to the ring. He talked about how he beat Brock Lesnar last night and said he didn’t do anything that Brock wouldn’t have done to him. The New Day then came out and new WWE Champion Kofi Kingston challenges Seth Rollins to a title vs. title match in tonight’s main event. Seth accepted the challenge, giving us a huge main event for the Raw after Mania.

The Revival came out to challenge Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins for the Raw Tag Team Championship, after dropping the belts one night prior during the WrestleMania Kickoff Show. In the rematch, Hawkins and Ryder seemed to be cruising to victory, riding high off the momentum they built up last night. However, it came to a crashing halt at the fist of Dash Wilder, who knocked Ryder silly with an uppercut to recapture the gold.

A vignette showed Mojo Rawley talking to a mirror, as seen in recent weeks. This time, however, the mirror was shattered and Mojo sported face paint in the same design, as he claimed he has “found himself.”

Baron Corbin came out to brag about retiring Kurt Angle at WrestleMania. Angle came out to congratulate Corbin and wished him the best of luck. But as Corbin accepted his handshake, Angle said “bad luck,” then dropped him with an Angle Slam! Angle locked in the Ankle Lock, but Corbin was able to crawl out of the ring. As for Kurt, his moment of glory was short-lived as Lars Sullivan made his long-anticipated debut, destroying the Olympic Hero in the middle of the ring.

From a debut to a long-awaited return, Raw kept rolling with Alexa Bliss making her way to the ring. Her opponent was one half of the former Women’s Tag Team Champions, Bayley, accompanied by her partner, Sasha Banks. Alexa and Bayley had a quick match, with Alexa getting the win off a DDT. Bayley wrestled far more aggressively than we’ve seen from her in quite some time, but Alexa had too much momentum on her side after a big success as the hostess of WrestleMania 35. After the match, Sasha and Bayley argued, as Alexa walked to the back. Sasha got on the mic and said Bayley was the reason they lost last night, and now she’s trying to be more aggressive, but it’s too little, too late. Sasha said she could beat Alexa way quicker than she beat Bayley. Alexa returned the ring and we had a second, impromptu match. Sasha tried to lock in the Bank Statement immediately, but Alexa broke free and planted Sasha with a DDT as well, getting a second win. Bayley and Sasha continued to argue after the match, until Bayley grabbed Sasha and planted her with a Bayley-to-Belly Suplex!

Becky Lynch came out next to thank the crowd for their support over the last eight months. Last night, she made history by winning the first-ever women’s main event at WrestleMania and capturing both the Raw and Smackdown Women’s Championships! She knows she’s a marked woman now, Superstars from Raw and Smackdown will both be after her, but she promised to be a fighting Champion. As Becky went to leave, she was interrupted by the music of Lacey Evans. It appeared that Lacey was doing her usual walk to the ring and leave shtick, but this time, as she and Becky stared each other down, Lacey blasted her with the Women’s Right! Lacey smugly turned to leave, but Becky chased her up the ramp and laid into her. She attempted to apply the Disarm-Her, but Lacey was able to escape the wrath of The Man.

Next up, Bobby Roode and Chad Gable took on the exciting pairing of Ricochet and Aleister Black. Roode and Gable turned in an admirable effort, but in the end, Gable was pinned after getting hit with a 630 Splash. After the match, Roode sucker-punched Ricochet. Gable confronted his partner, only to get a Glorious DDT for his troubles. Roode walked away as Ricochet and Black checked on Gable.

Next, it was time for Dean Ambrose’s final match on Raw, taking on “The Almighty” Bobby Lashley. But before the match even got underway, Lashley provoked Ambrose by promising to take care of his wife, Renee Young. Ambrose and Lashley brawled up the ramp, where Lashley drove Ambrose into the announce table. Renee and some officials checked on Ambrose as the show went to a break.

A vignette aired, featuring a puppet popping out of a box.

Finn Balor came out and announced that he plans to be a fighting Champion. To that end, he issued an Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge, which was accepted by Jinder Mahal. Despite The Singh Brothers’ attempts at interference, Balor was able to pick up the win after a Coup de Grace, to retain his title.

We took a look at Roman Reigns’ return to singles competition at WrestleMania, as he defeated Drew McIntyre. Following that, Elias was in the ring. After lamenting that his WrestleMania performance was ruined by John Cena, he vowed that whoever dared to interrupt him tonight would be a “deadman.” A gong sounded and The Undertaker made his return to Raw, Chokeslamming Elias before hitting a Tombstone.

Prior to the main event, Braun Strowman’s victory in the Andre The Giant Battle Royal was recapped. The Monster Among Men was dominant in victory, including eliminating Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost to win the match. What lies ahead for Strowman? We shall soon find out…

Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins took to the ring for the main event, a historic Title vs. Title match, with both the WWE and Universal Championships at stake. The match was a long, back and forth affair and it looked at any point like either man could win, including Seth getting a very close 2-count off a Superkick to a kneeling Kofi, and Kofi hitting Trouble in Paradise, only for Seth to get his foot on the bottom rope. However, there would be no winner in the end, because with both men on the apron, three words were heard over the PA…

“SHOCK… THE SYSTEM”

Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish stormed the ring to attack both participants. Cole drilled Seth with a Superkick, screaming, “THAT’S HOW IT’S DONE!”, while Strong and O’Reilly beat down Kofi. Big E and Xavier ran down to make the save, but were overwhelmed by Undisputed Era, who ended Raw standing tall over both brands’ Champions…

The Revival def. Raw Tag Team Champions Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins to win the titles
Alexa Bliss def. Bayley
Alexa Bliss def. Sasha Banks

Smackdown Live After Mania, 4/9/19
Smackdown opened with The New Day celebrating Kofi Kingston’s career and Championship victory. Unfortunately, the celebration was interrupted by Undisputed Era, who proclaimed themselves to be the future of the WWE. Kofi challenged them to face The New Day tonight in a six man tag team. The challenge was accepted, with Cole, Strong and O’Reilly to face Kofi, Big E and Xavier in the Smackdown Live main event.

But a different six man tag team match kicked off the show, as Kevin Owens, Ali and AJ Styles teamed up to take on Randy Orton and The Bar. At WrestleMania, it was Styles who picked up the win over Orton, but on Smackdown, Orton evened the score, pinning Styles after an RKO to The Phenomenal One.

The Usos were interviewed backstage and they promised to defeat The Hardys and retain their Smackdown Tag Team Championship later tonight.

R-Truth and Carmella were in the ring after the break, celebrating Carmella winning the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal. As Carmella promised to do great things with her win, Samoa Joe’s music interrupted the pair. The United States Champion attacked Truth, then claimed that there’s not one Superstar on Smackdown that can hang with him. Braun Strowman’s music hit as Raw’s Monster Among Men went after Joe, who escaped through the crowd. As Braun was leaving, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions The IIconics made their way to the ring.

After the break, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce promised to be fighting Champions and introduced their first challengers for the titles, Karissa and Kristen, the undefeated Brooklyn Belles! Billie and Peyton easily dominated the contest and retained their titles. Backstage after the match, Paige was interviewed and promised to bring in a tag team next week to give Billie and Peyton some real competition…

Shane McMahon came out next. He hyped the Superstar Shakeup next week, then got on ring announcer Greg Hamilton’s case about how he has been introducing Shane. Shane forced Hamilton to keep redoing the intro until Shane was finally satisfied. But as he went to exit up the ramp, The Miz waylaid him with a chair, beating Shane down, clearly not finished with their business from WrestleMania.

The Smackdown Tag Team Championship match went on next, as The Usos defended against The Hardys. Before the match, however, Mr. McMahon appeared and announced that this match would instead be a Triple Threat, as Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura were added to the mix. In the end, new Champions were crowned, as Nakamura pinned Jeff Hardy after a Shinkasa to capture the gold for himself and Rusev.

After the match, as The Hardys were soaking in applause from the Barclay’s crowd, Lars Sullivan attacked the brothers, throwing them both around, then hitting a diving headbutt on Matt.

Raw and Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch made her way to the ring next. After getting another great ovation from the Barclay’s Center fans, she talked about the target on her belt, but promised that Becky Two-Belts would continue to live up to her name. But as she exited the ring, she was attacked by Lacey Evans, who laid her out, then held up both belts as she mocked The Man.

In the main event, it was The New Day taking on Undisputed Era in six-man tag team competition. Kofi and Woods took turns playing the face in peril, as Cole, O’Reilly and Strong got to showcase their abilities to the crowd. Eventually, the match broke down, with all six men getting involved at the same time. Big E speared O’Reilly through the ropes, while Woods dove off the top onto Strong on the outside. That left Cole and Kofi in the ring. Kofi hit Trouble in Paradise, but Bobby Fish placed Cole’s foot on the bottom rope. As the referee waved off the pin, Cole connected with a Superkick to Kingston and covered him, but Kingston kicked out. Kofi hit the SOS, but Fish broke it up, drawing the disqualification. Undisputed Era tried to beat down New Day, but the trio fought them off and stood tall to end the Smackdown After Mania.

Quick Results
Randy Orton and The Bar def. AJ Styles, Kevin Owens and Ali
WWE Women's Tag Team Champions The IIconics def. The Brooklyn Belles to retain the titles
Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev def. Smackdown Tag Team Champions The Usos and The Hardys to win the titles

205 Live, 4/9/19
205 Live kicked off with General Manager Drake Maverick talking about next week’s Superstar Shakeup. He says it’s possible that 205 Live could be losing several talents. But tonight, he is granting Buddy Murphy’s request for a rematch with Tony Nese. In addition, Drew Gulak has requested a match between Jack Gallagher and Humberto Carrillo, which kicked off the show.

Gallagher dominated the early going against Carrillo, until the young upstart took to the air. After rocking Gallagher with several top rope moves, he went back up for the finishing blow, only to be knocked to the mat by Gulak. Gulak and Gallagher beat Carrillo down and Gulak demanded a match with Carrillo next week, to teach him a lesson.

Buddy Murphy had a promo where he promised to regain his title and prove that he is still unstoppable. Immediately afterwards, the new Cruiserweight Champion, Tony Nese, got some promo time to talk about living his dream this past Sunday. But he plans to keep it rolling tonight, when he makes his first successful title defense against Murphy.

Backstage, Drake Maverick confirmed the Gulak/Carrillo match, as Oney Lorcan entered. Maverick figured this was about Lorcan’s rematch with Cedric Alexander. Alexander then entered, saying he wants to know when the match is happening. Maverick says that next week, Alexander will battle Lorcan in the main event and to sweeten the pot, the winner will become the next Number One Contender for the Cruiserweight Championship. Alexander offers a handshake, but Lorcan says that he’s coming to 205 Live next week to beat the man…

In the main event, Tony Nese defended his newly won Cruiserweight Championship against the former Champion, Buddy Murphy. Murphy was dominant at points, nearly regaining the title on several occasions, but eventually, Nese was able to make his comeback. After stringing together several impact moves, the Champion put his challenger away with the Running Nese to retain the title.

Quick Results
Humberto Carrillo def. Gentleman Jack Gallagher by disqualification
Cruiserweight Champion Tony Nese def. Buddy Murphy to retain the title

Raw (Night One of the Superstar Shakeup), 4/15/19
The Superstar Shakeup kicked off with Shane and Stephanie McMahon in the ring. Shane talked about how certain Superstars need a change of scenery and at the same time, so does management. With a successful WrestleMania in the books, it’s time to return to a bit of normalcy in the WWE. Therefore, Stephanie will resume having full control over Raw, while Shane will once again take the reigns on Smackdown. Meaning, he is retiring from active competition as The Best in the World. As the crowd booed this announcement, Stephanie announced the first name to come to Raw in the Superstar Shakeup and he is… AWESOME!! The Miz came out, ready to go at Shane, but Stephanie stopped him, warning him that if he put his hands on a member of WWE Management, he will be suspended indefinitely. Shane taunted Miz, saying that he proved who was the true Best in the World at WrestleMania. Miz may be awesome, but Shane will always be the Best…

Michael Cole, Corey Graves and Renee Young announced that tonight’s main event will see Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and a mystery partner joining the roster from Smackdown taking on Undisputed Era’s Adam Cole, Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly.

Kicking off the action on Raw was an eight man tag team contest. Entering first were Ricochet and Aleister Black, who are now officially part of Raw. Their partners were the former Raw Tag Team Champions Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. On the opposing team were the new two-time Champions, The Revival and The Singh Brothers… until NXT Tag Team Champions The War Raiders came out and destroyed Jinder Mahal’s minions. With new allies on their side, The Revival were more than ready to take on their opposition. Although The Revival and The War Raiders were dominant, it was Ricochet picking up the win for his team after a 630 to Dash Wilder. After the match, The War Raiders attacked The Revival, laying out the Raw Tag Team Champions.

A video package aired, revealing that Harper will be coming to Raw soon…

Up next was Finn Balor in action, against an opponent selected by Stephanie McMahon. That opponent turned out to be WWE United States Champion, Samoa Joe! The new Raw Superstar renewed his old rivalry with the Intercontinental Champion in a Champion vs. Champion battle. In the end, though Balor had the heart, Joe had the muscle needed to put him away, forcing Finn to tap out to the Coquina Clutch. After the match, Braun Strowman came out to confront Joe, but officials made sure things didn’t get physical.

Elias was in the ring after the break, talking about how last week, The Undertaker interrupted his performance and the night before at WrestleMania, John Cena stuck his nose where it didn’t belong. Tonight, whoever interrupts him won’t be able to show his face anywhere ever again. This brought out Rey Mysterio, who laid out Elias with the 619. But as Elias rolled out the ring, Lars Sullivan came out and attacked Mysterio, laying out yet another veteran Superstar.

Becky Lynch vs. Ruby Riott was hyped for later tonight.

Up next, The Ascension were in the ring. They said it was time for them to reassert their dominance, so they don’t care who accepts their challenge, they just want some competition. Out came The Usos, more than happy to accept the challenge. After a short match, The Usos picked up the win with simultaneous splashes onto Konnor from the top rope, making a successful debut on Raw.

Alexa Bliss made her way to the stage for a Moment of Bliss. Alexa said that this could be her final Moment of Bliss on Raw, but if it is, she wants to go out with a bang. She started to introduce her guest, but the lights went out and ominous music began playing. When the lights came up, Mojo Rawley was on the stage. Bliss tried to regain control of her segment, but Rawley came at her, causing her to stumble and fall down. Rawley glowered over her, until Cedric Alexander ran out to make the save! Cedric chased Mojo off, then helped Bliss to her feet. Alexa threw her arms around Cedric in relief, before composing herself, saying thanks, and walking off. Cedric Alexander is now on Raw!

Bobby Roode was out next, going one on one with his former tag team partner, Chad Gable. Roode put Gable away quickly with the Glorious DDT, then cut a promo claiming that was just the beginning of Glorious things for Roode.

Alicia Fox was in the ring after the break. Her opponent turned out to be the newly acquired-from-Smackdown Naomi! Naomi made quick work of Fox, finishing her off with the Rear View. As Naomi celebrated, Becky Lynch made her entrance. Naomi smiled, then motioned that she wanted a title shot. Becky smirked and continued her walk to the ring.

After the break, it was announced that Akira Tozawa from 205 Live has joined the Raw roster.

Becky Lynch and Ruby Riott went one-on-one next, with Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan at ringside in Riott’s corner. Despite Ruby having the numbers advantage, Becky was able to put Riott away with the Disarm-Her.

Backstage, Undisputed Era were interviewed about being a part of Raw. Adam Cole interrupted, saying they’re not on Raw or Smackdown. They go where they want to go and do whatever they want. They don’t care who Rollins and Reigns get to team with them tonight, because they are here to shock the system…

Becky was still in the ring as Natalya made her way out. Natalya congratulated Becky on her big win at WrestleMania, but said she wanted a shot at the Raw Women’s Championship. Becky says she would be honored to face Natalya, but Lacey Evans interrupts. Lacey announces that she is officially on Raw now and Stephanie McMahon has granted her a Number One Contenders match against Natalya, which will take place right now!

Lacey and Natalya had their match, with Lacey showcasing her natural ability in the ring. Natalya used her experience to gain control for a bit, even locking in the Sharpshooter, but Lacey was able to reach the ropes. After a missed cross body from Natalya, Lacey connected with the Women’s Right to pick up the victory and earn herself a future Raw Women’s Championship match.

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were interviewed backstage ahead of their main event match. Reigns mentioned what happened last week between Bobby Lashley and Dean Ambrose and warned Lashley that revenge is a dish best served cold. Rollins talked about Undisputed Era trying to make a name for themselves at the expense of himself and Kofi Kingston. Tonight, with the help of their partner, they will show Undisputed Era who runs Raw…

After the break, a vignette aired, showcasing a creepy dollhouse. At the end, a doll in a rocking chair cackled before flashing out.

Undisputed Era came out first and Adam Cole announced that Roderick Strong would be taking part in this match instead of Bobby Fish. Rollins and Reigns entered, followed by their partner… AJ STYLES!! The match was standard fare for a main event six man tag, everyone getting the chance to shine. Near the end, Reigns dropped O’Reilly with a Superman punch, only to turn into a Superkick from Cole. Rollins hit the Curb Stomp on Cole, but Strong then drilled him with a Belly-to-Belly suplex, but as he turned around, Styles hit the Phenomenal Forearm to pick up the win in his first night on Raw!

Let's lay down some ground rules for this before I get to far into the booking. As far as real-life firings go, if they get released in real life, they will be gone here. However, as of right now, Harper and Sasha have not formally been released to my knowledge. If they are down the road, then I will cease using them both. As for injuries, any injuries from before I started are still in effect and people will return in this when they return IRL. As for new injuries, I'm not sure what to do. Big E's injury occurred on the Smackdown After Mania in real life, but I don't know if he would be injured here. I think that will be a case where I have to play it by ear and see what makes sense, for the sake of realism.

Smackdown Live (Night Two of the Superstar Shakeup), 4/16/19
Night Two of the Superstar Shakeup kicked off with Kevin Owens in the ring to host The Kevin Owens Show. He talked about the Superstar Shakeup and how he thinks his career is in need of a shakeup. After teasing a move to Raw, Owens introduced his guest… SAMI ZAYN! Zayn received a huge pop from his hometown crowd as he walked to the ring. Owens and Zayn talked about their long history, then Owens cut to the chase. He wants to reform his and Zayn’s tag team on Smackdown. He truly believes they could be Tag Team Champions. Zayn was non-committal, but The Bar interrupted. Cesaro said he and Sheamus rule the roost on Smackdown now that The Usos are on Raw, and it will only be a matter of time before they regain the Smackdown Tag Team Championship. Owens challenged The Bar to face him and Sami tonight and the challenge was accepted!

Shelton Benjamin was in the ring for tonight’s opening contest. His opponent was the Intercontinental Champion, Finn Balor! Smackdown’s newest acquisition was impressive in his debut, finishing off Benjamin with the Coup de Grace. After the match, Zelina Vega came out to challenge Balor on behalf of her client, Andrade.

Backstage, Undisputed Era showed up at the arena, expecting to be in action. Instead, Mr. McMahon greeted them. He said he had business to tend to later tonight, but informed Undisputed Era that they have until the end of the night to commit to either Raw or Smackdown as their official brand.

EC3 made his way to the ring next. He issued an open challenge, which was accepted by Ali. The two had a fun little TV match, with Ali putting EC3 away with the 054. After the match, Randy Orton snuck into the ring and laid out Ali with an RKO from out of nowhere!

Becky Lynch came to the ring to talk about being a double Champion. As both the Raw and Smackdown Women’s Champion, she can float between shows. She already knows who her first challenger on Raw will be, now she wants to know what Smackdown has in store for her. Ember Moon came out and said that she came to Smackdown for an opportunity. She is willing to challenge Becky for the title. Bayley then interrupted, saying that Ember isn’t fit to carry her bags. If Becky wants a real challenge, Bayley is more than happy to provide. The IIconics made their way to the ring and taunted Bayley, who threatened to kick both their asses by herself. Paige’s music hit and she reminded everyone that she promised a new tag team to challenge Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. She brought out NXT’s Kairi Sane and Io Shirai, The Sky Pirates! A brawl broke out between everyone except for Becky, who exited, letting the other six slug it out.

After the break, a six woman tag had begun, pitting Ember Moon and The Sky Pirates against Bayley and The IIconics. Bayley argued with her partners throughout the match and eventually walked out leaving Peyton to get pinned after an Insane Elbow from Kairi Sane.

Elias was introduced by Greg Hamilton. Elias said it was a pleasure to be on Smackdown, where he believes his talents will be appreciated. Here on Smackdown, he will have free reign… Until the Big Dog arrived. Roman Reigns came out, ducked a guitar shot and hit the Superman Punch on Elias. Elias got out of dodge, but Shane McMahon announced a match between the two for later tonight.

The Bar took on Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in tag team action. Zayn spent much of the match on the apron, while Owens took the brunt of The Bar’s offense. After a hot tag, Zayn entered and tore into Sheamus and Cesaro. The end came when Owens hit a Stunner to Cesaro, who fell back into the corner, where Sami hit the Helluva Kick for the win! Zayn and Owens embraced as the Montreal crowd cheered them on.

The Superstar Shakeup was recapped. In addition to the picks we already saw, also coming to Smackdown are Bobby Roode, Mickie James, No Way Jose and Nikki Cross.

In the main event, Roman Reigns took on Elias. Reigns had the match well at hand towards the end, until Lio Rush interrupted. He announced that the Superstar Shakeup isn’t over yet and introduced the biggest pick of the night, The Almighty Bobby Lashley! Lashley came down and attacked Reigns, beating him down, then allowing Elias to fell him with a guitar shot. Lashley stood over Reigns and did his favorite pose to end the segment.

A video aired to hype that Buddy Murphy is coming to Smackdown Live.

Mr. McMahon came to the ring. He said that he had a big announcement to make, as well as a big decision to hear. He asked for The New Day to come out to the ring. Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods joined McMahon in the ring. He announced that while most of the picks for the Superstar Shakeup have been finalized, there is still one last move to be announced. He was saving the biggest news for last and that news is that The New Day has been traded to Monday Night Raw! At first The New Day are excited, until Vince clarifies that only Big E and Xavier Woods are moving. Immediately, Undisputed Era come out and announce that they choose Smackdown as their home brand. Kofi, Big E and Xavier embrace for the final time, as next week, Kofi will be left to fend for himself in the shark tank that is Smackdown Live…
