DARREN’S WIN-LOSS RECORDS COLUMN: WEEK 7
Welcome to Week 7 of 2013. This week WWE gave us our only Pay-Per-View of the month, WWE Elimination Chamber. Now, to this week’s news & notes.
On Raw, we had the 1st time since January 14 that Antonio Cesaro didn’t wrestle in the opening match. The 6-Man Tag Team Match between John Cena, Ryback, & Sheamus and 3MB was the 1st 6-Man Tag since Alberto Del Rio & Team Hell No defeated The Big Show & Team Rhodes Scholars on Smackdown on January 25. The tag team match between Brodus Clay & Tensai and Epico & Primo was the 1st normal tag team match since Team Hell No VS Chris Jericho & Dolph Ziggler on Raw on January 28. It was also the 1st time that Brodus teamed up with Tensai. The Disqualification result in the The Miz VS Cody Rhodes Match was the 1st DQ since Smackdown last Friday when Tensai defeated Drew McIntyre. Kofi Kingston VS Wade Barrett was the 2nd time in 2 months that they wrestled. They competed on the 1st Smackdown of the year on January 4. Only Kane VS Dolph Ziggler counted as an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match. Zack Ryder VS Jack Swagger and Daniel Bryan VS Chris Jericho were not since only 1 participant in each match (Swagger & Jericho) had to win to qualify. This was the 2nd week in a row that there was no Diva’s Match on Raw.
On Main Event, for the 1st time ever, there was only 1 match. Last week was the 1st time we had 3 matches. The only match that did happen was Alberto Del Rio VS Dolph Ziggler in a “Title-Free” Match as Michael Cole called it. This was the 2nd time this month that they wrestled, as they wrestled each other on Smackdown on February 1. This was Del Rio’s 1st match on Main Event this year and Ziggler’s 2nd, as he lost to Sheamus on January 9 by Count Out. Dolph became the 1st wrestler this year to wrestle in the Main Event of Raw and then the Main Event of Main Event in the same week.
On NXT, the show opened with a match between Mike Dalton & Axl Keegan. The match doesn’t count since Paige interrupted it before the match began. No bell rang, so neither man gets a win or loss. NXT also gave us the debut of Summer Rae, in a win over Paige. It was the 1st Diva’s Match on NXT since January 30. We also had the Finals of the NXT Tag Team Championship Tournament, giving us our 20th Title Match of the year overall and 13th for WWE. Oliver Grey & Adrian Neville winning the belts gave us our 6th Title Change of the year overall and 5th for WWE.
On Superstars, we had the 1st WWE Diva’s Match since the tag team match between The Funkadactyls and Aksana & Tamina Snuka on Main Event on February 6, not counting the Paige VS Summer Rae Match from this week’s NXT. This was the 1st Diva’s Match on Superstars this year. In the other match, we saw Justin Gabriel defeat Titus O’Neil. This was the 2nd week in a row that Gabriel competed on Superstars and the 1st time since Brodus Clay on January 3 & 10 that someone wrestled in the Main Event of Superstars 1 week and then in the opening match on Superstars the following week. Also, with his loss, Titus O’Neil earned the worst record without a win, having 9 straight losses.
On Impact, we saw the debuts of Party Marty & Hannah & Holly Blossom, known as The Blossom Twins. Impact gave us a No Contest between Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle and a Double Count Out between Austin Aries and Bobby Roode. This was the 1st time that 2 Non-Finishes happened on the same show and the 1st time that Impact has had a No Contest and a Double Count Out. Impact also gave us a 6-Person Mixed Tag Team Match with the aforementioned Party Marty & The Blossom Twins against Jesse, Gail Kim, & Tara. This was the 23rd Gimmick Match of the year overall and 9th for TNA. It was the 1st 6-Person Mixed Tag Team Match this year and the 1st Mixed Tag Match on Impact since January 31 when Velvet Sky & James Storm defeated Jesse & Tara.
On Smackdown, we had several rematches. Randy Orton and Mark Henry wrestled for the 2nd time, after competing last Friday on Smackdown. This was the 1st time in 2013 that the Main Event of Smackdown was re-matched as the opening match on the following week. The match ended by Disqualification, giving us the 2nd DQ for the week for WWE. Layla VS Tamina Snuka, which was the 1st Diva’s Match on Smackdown since Januay 25, was a re-match from the January 4th Episode of Smackdown. Also, The Miz VS Cody Rhodes and Zack Ryder VS Jack Swagger were re-matches from Raw earlier in the week. They also almost took place in the same order as they did on Monday, but on Smackdown Miz VS Rhodes was 1st, while Ryder VS Swagger took place 1st on Raw. We saw the 2013 Tag Team debut of 3MB’s Heath Slater & Jinder Mahal in their loss to Brodus Clay & Tensai. Smackdown was the 1st time that not a single Champion competed on the show, the 2nd week in a row that Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler didn’t compete on the show, and the 1st time that Antonio Cesaro didn’t wrestle on any TV Show at least once during the week.
On Saturday Morning Slam, we had Justin Gabriel defeat Heath Slater. This was Gabriel’s 2nd consecutive week competing on the show. He becomes the 1st wrestler to compete on both Superstars & Saturday Morning Slam in 2 consecutive weeks. This was Slater’s 1st match on the show since losing to Daniel Bryan on January 5. The other match on the show was the 200th Match of 2013, as Sheamus defeated Cody Rhodes. This was a February Re-Match as they wrestled on Main Event on February 6, marking the 1st time that a match took place on Main Event and Saturday Morning Slam. This was Sheamus’ 2nd match this year on SMS, as he defeated Michael McGillicutty on January 19 and this was Rhodes’ 1st match on SMS this year.
WWE gave us their February Pay-Per-View, WWE Elimination Chamber. We had 4 Title Matches added to our count, bringing the total to 24 Overall and 17 for WWE. The last time the titles were defended were at the Royal Rumble for the WWE, World Heavyweight, & United States Titles and on Raw on January 14 for the Diva’s Title. The Diva’s Title Match between Kaitlyn and Tamina Snuka was the 1st Diva’s Match on Pay-Per-View this year. The Elimination Chamber Match was the only Gimmick Match on the show, bringing the total to 24 Overall & 15 for WWE. The Pay-Per-View gave us 4 rematches. The Rock VS CM Punk and The Miz VS Antonio Cesaro both took place at the Royal Rumble on January 27. Kaitlyn VS Tamina Snuka took place on Raw on January 28. Alberto Del Rio VS The Big Show took place for the 3rd time this year, as they wrestled on Smackdown on January 11 and at the Rumble on January 27. Cesaro defeated Miz by Disqualification was the 3rd DQ this week on WWE TV. The Shield’s victory over John Cena, Ryback, & Sheamus was The Shield’s in-ring debut for 2013, though Seth Rollins competed twice on NXT in January. In the Pre-Show Match between Brodus Clay & Tensai and Team Rhodes Scholars, Cody received his 12th loss, giving him the most losses for any wrestler this year. Heath Slater has 11 losses, but both men have wins as well.
Now without further ado, here are the Win-Loss Records for this week, followed by the results of the week that was. Thanks again to Mike for posting it and all of you for reading it. Please send all feedback and comments to my Twitter Account (@hbkid718).
