After HHH performed the Pedigree on Orton, the ring cleared leaving HHH, Steph, Kane, and Cena standing together looking at Orton. The three Authority figures then left and Cena called for a mic, getting a pop for mentioning Seahawk football before challenging Orton to a dark match main event. Both titles were hanging over the ring for the short match, which saw Orton get disqualified for using a chair. Cena recovered and performed an AA on Orton, then called for the mic again.
Cena requested Daniel Bryan come out, and after a short exchange about being near Bryan's hometown called for a Daniel-roonie. Booker T came out, and as he was walking to the ring the Wyatt family got out from where they were hiding under the ring and sprinted up the ramp to the back, getting a long laugh from the crowd. Cena claimed he was seeing things and blamed it on our coffee. Once Booker was in the ring, Bryan and Cena each did weak versions of the Spinaroonie, playing to the crowd. Booker called out John Laurinaitis, Titus O'Neill, Stephanie McMahon (!), and finally CM Punk in turn and each also did a Spinaroonie. Punk came out barefoot in a hoodie and briefs, not even his ring trunks. After Punk's spin, he went and hugged Steph. Booker thanked the crowd for our attendance and the show ended at about 8:45pm local.

What Happened After Raw Went Off The Air?

Rumor Mill - Why WWE is Unifying the Titles at TLC
WrestleZone has learned from a source within WWE that the original plan for the WWE TLC pay-per-view was NOT to unify the WWE and World Championships.
According to two different sources who participate in WWE production meetings, the original plan went out the window in the past 10 days, with the opinion being expressed to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon that WWE is better off both in terms of positioning programming in 2014 and even on live events with only one recognized top champion.
WZ has also learned both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon had expressed their opinions "to the troops" that WWE was better off with one champion. So, unless they are misleading the writers and producers, which we doubt, apparently WWE is intent on crowning one champion this Sunday at TLC.

AJ Styles Leaving TNA
Unless something changes over the next few days, AJ Styles will be leaving TNA for the first time since the company was founded in 2002 next week.
Styles' current contract extension expires on 12/16, PWInsider.com has confirmed. As of 12/17, he is a free agent and has already begun to accept independent bookings via his long-time agent Bill Behrens at Showbis@aol.com.
As PWInsider.com has reported for months, Styles and TNA have been far apart on money. The two sides did not really begin negotiating until Styles' last long-term deal was close to expiring and signed a two month extension in order to continue working together while they attempted to seal a new deal.
Unfortunately, the two sides just couldn't make a deal happen. We have heard that it was a situation where TNA just wasn't able to offer Styles what he had been earning and he, feeling correctly that he had been a big part of the heart and soul of the company, would not agree to take a lesser deal. The situation put both sides in between a rock and a hard place, leading to the breakdown between sides.
In a lot of ways, Styles' exit has sent a bad signal to other TNA "originals" who have deals coming up as the message being sent is that the company, which has been cutting corners, will play hardball financially even at the cost of losing their own homegrown players. Styles was one of the company's legitimate main eventers who had been been with the company as it evolved and matured, becoming the centerpiece for the X-Division before evolving into a legitimate main eventer. While he wasn't the draw that Sting was during Sting's heyday in WCW, Styles was very similar to Sting in that he was closely branded as a TNA star and as someone who was loyal to the company - just as Sting was when World Championship Wrestling existed.
Styles officially finished up with the company last week at the Impact tapings in Orlando, Florida with appearances for episodes that will air in early 2014.
Styles is already moving forward with outside projects. He has an autobiography set to be released in the first quarter of 2014 and will be making an appearance next year as part of a talking tour in the UK. Initial dates for that tour had been announced but the tour will be pushed back as Diamond Dallas Page had already scheduled a similar tour for the same time period and the decision was made that it wasn't right to compete with something already scheduled.
WrestleMania 32 Location Revealed By NBC Affiliate
According NBC Bay Area, WrestleMania 32 in 2016 is "confirmed" to take place in Dallas, Texas at AT&T Stadium. It was noted in July that WWE met with AT&T Stadium officials.
WWE Working On Theme Music Behind-The-Scenes DVD
WWE is working on a new DVD documentary which will reportedly be called Music of WWE. It will be a behind-the-scenes look at how WWE's legendary musician James Alan Johnston makes custom entrance themes for WWE's Superstars. The following is the synopsis:
"Music has been integral in WWE history, especially anthems for all the greatest WWE Superstars. Since Sgt. Slaughter first made his entrance to the Marine Corp hymn in the early 80′s music themes have become synonymous with the Superstars themselves. Just hearing the first few notes brings the crowd to their feet. They are the songs that let the WWE Universe know that business is about to pick up. Now, get behind the music and learn the inside story behind the timeless anthems of WWE and the superstars."
Lanny Poffo Reveals the Issue Between Randy Savage and Vince McMahon
In 1994, Randy wanted to work with Shawn Michaels. He wanted to have a two-year program with him. They said they were having a youth movement, and that's why he quit. He said, 'I think I'll get a second opinion on that.' He would've lost the match to Shawn Michaels, at WrestleMania, but his goal, and one of the things that bothered him the most, was that he was never able to have a match as good as the one he had with Ricky Steamboat. He felt, even in his advanced years - I guess he was 41 - that he could have a Ricky Steamboat-calibre match with Shawn Michaels.
I don't know if he could or if he couldn't, if he was already too old or whatever, but wouldn't you love to see him try? He would've put him over, in the middle of the ring, and retired to the announce booth… but instead he went to the WCW and guess what he brought with him? 'Snap into a Slim Jim'. And Vince doesn't like to lose even one round.

Universal Orlando CityWalk Announcement December 12th 2013
Universal will be making a major announcement next Thursday rumored to be about CityWalk’s future. If you have been following this situation closely you can clearly see they are preparing for a full blown revamp. You will soon notice some of your favorite stores and restaurants either closing or being relocated. So one can only wonder what may be around the corner.
It has long been rumored that the WWE Hall of Fame will eventually make its presence felt at Universal City Walk. The only road block in the way is that rival wrestling organization TNA; TNA tapes shows on site at the “Impact Wrestling Zone” located at soundstage 19. Keep in mind early in 2013, TNA Wrestling officially terminated its lease with Universal Studios to tour nationally. When TNA found its way back to Universal a couple of months ago rather going back to the original Impact Zone, they went to Soundstage 19 which holds smaller crowds. Rumors are if the WWE (Formally World Wrestling Federation) want to be the exclusive GIANT in town, they will have to shoot shows on location. We will see if TNA terminating the building lease with Universal in the past will make it easier for the WWE to negotiate a deal. Universal has been very loyal to TNA over the years, so I guess only time will tell.
