A bit unorthodox, but I felt it had to be done

This is true, and any other opinions are from fake fans!!!1!

I personally found Wolverine being part mutant, part human, part sentinel and part osmosian was too much. I also didn’t like that Magneto planned everything, including his birth.

Saw the trailer, and this was the first thing my mind went to

How would you have booked Shanky to become WWE Champion? Post-WrestleMania 38

Before the event:

After nursing an injury, Christian has returned to Smackdown, and teases cashing in his briefcase. He has been warned by Mark Henry to not do so.

Mark Henry has handed Booker T the King's Crown, and Booker has started going by King Booker. Batista calls him a king of nothing, as the two enter a match at Summerslam.

Rob Van Dam's contract is coming up, and he's entered a feud with Shelton Benjamin to see who the better wrestler is

The Thrillseekers have earned a shot at MnM at Summerslam for the WWE Tag Team Titles. The two teams have had a war of words on the mic, until MnM attacked The Thrillseekers after they won a tag match against The Pit Bulls.

Hogan announces his retirement, having his final match at Summerslam. Orton answers the challenge, and insults Hogan's legacy, showing no respect.

Carlito and Masters have fallen out of favour with Shane, as Shane is concerned with getting himself into danger with Big Show or Kane again and has had to remove any biases he had. Cade & Murdoch earned a shot at the World Tag Titles at Summerslam beating V-Squared.

Lita is still on rocky terms with The Hardys, none of them trust her, but they don't have much of a choice as their opposition is Edge, Trish and Flair. Jeff's Intercontinental Title and Trish's Women's Championship is on the line, so whichever team wins gets both titles (the IC Title would go to either Edge or Flair, and the Women's Title would go to Lita if her team wins)

John Cena is without a challenger due to Edge and Matt feuding. He decides against taking the day off from Summerslam, and calls out any top guy in the back to come out and fight him. Out comes Mick Foley, who wants to test Cena's mantle, see if he can hang in a hardcore environment.

The event:

The Thrillseekers def. MnM for the WWE Tag Team Titles, ending an incredible tag title reign.
Nitro looks infuriated with Mercury, as does Melina.

Shelton Benjamin def. Rob Van Dam. RVD and Benjamin shake hands in respect after.

Cade & Murdoch def. Masters Of Cool(c) for the World Tag Team Titles

Batista def. King Booker

Team Hardys def. Team Edge, as Flair is put away from a kick to the balls by Lita, a Twist of Fate by Matt, and a Swanton Bomb by Jeff.
Lita is now the Women's Champion.

Randy Orton def. Hulk Hogan in a Retirement Match.
Hogan puts out his hand to show respect, but Orton laughs and spits at Hogan before nailing him with an RKO.
Afterwards, he lines Hogan up and hits a new move, The Punt Kick.
Hogan is put on a stretcher. The crowd throws garbage at Orton.

Bobby Lashley def. Gregory Helms(c) for the Light Heavyweight Championship, ending Gregory Helm's historic run with the title.

John Cena(c) def. Mick Foley in a Hardcore Match.
Cena endures barbed wire, thumb tacks, and a flaming table, and in the end puts Foley into an STFU with barbed wire wrapped around Foley's mouth, making him pass out from submission.
Cena retains the WWE Championship.

Mark Henry def. Rey Mysterio(c) for the World Heavyweight Championship. Rey puts up a valiant effort, but Mark is a monster, and within 15 minutes ends Mysterio's title run.
But Mark isn't satisfied yet, he inducts Mysterio into the Hall Of Pain, sidelining him in the process. Mark is proud of himself and celebrates with the big gold belt, before being clocked from behind by Christian's MITB briefcase.
Christian cashes in, but Mark fights back, until a debuting Beth Phoenix attacks Mark Henry, weaking his knee. Christian uses the opportunity to hit The Unprettier, and win the World Heavyweight Championship.
Captain Charisma rules Smackdown!

Before the event:

Chris Benoit passed away from a heart attack, the wrestling world was shocked. An autopsy cited an enlarged heart, but what they also discovered was his brain resembled that of an 80 year old with Alzheimers. As a result, a lawsuit was made which banned direct head collisions from WWE, such as chair shots to the head, and any wrestling move that had a wrestler's head make harsh contact with anything. Nobody knew it at the time, but this would prevent so many tragedies.

With The Harlem Wolves no longer an active tag team, Mark Henry found Booker T backstage and threatened him, if he works alongside him, he won't find himself in the Hall Of Pain, and his career will prosper, however if he refuses, he can kiss his career goodbye.

Mark Henry has made Mysterio's life a living hell as champion, but each time Batista would make the save. Mysterio insists he can fight his own battles, but Batista insists this isn't to protect his friend, it's to get himself another shot at Rey's world title. This has lead to a 2 on 2 tag team match at The Great American Bash

The Event:

Mr. Kennedy def. Orlando Jordon(c) for the United States Championship

Nu-Gen (Burke and Punk) def. The Pitbulls (Kash and Noble)

The Miz def. Tatanka

Gregory Helms(c) def. Chavo Guerrero to retain the Light Heavyweight Championship. He cuts a promo after, stating it's been almost a year since he won the title and ditched the childish gimmick his boss gave to him, and by now he feels the Light Heavyweight division and the title is beneath him. He states his interest in the big prize, the World Heavyweight Championship

The Thrillseekers (London and Kendrick) def. Americana (Deuce and Domino) for a shot at the WWE Tag Titles at Summerslam

Bobby Lashley def. Finlay. After the match, Gregory Helms attacks Lashley, clocking him with his Light Heavyweight Title (the Cruiserweight title got retired and replaced with the one from the Attitude Era)

Mark Henry and Booker T def. Mysterio and Batista, Booker T puts Batista through the announce table, while Henry takes down Mysterio with a World's Strongest Slam. He considers injuring Mysterio so he's weak at Summerslam, but he decides it'll be more satisfying to beat Mysterio when he's at 100% so he has no excuses.

What happened before the PPV:

Backstage, Lita found Edge hooking up with Trish Stratus. Edge claimed Trish forced herself onto him, and Lita believed him, and sought revenge against Trish, attacking her each week. Shane McMahon has had enough of them disrupting Raw and has them settle it out at Vengeance in a No Holds Barred match.

Vince is in the hospital from the tag match against Big Red Bastards at Backlash, but Shane despite a broken leg is still in charge of RAW. As a desperate act of revenge, he tricked Big Show and Kane into signing a Loser Leaves RAW match, ending the monstrous duo for good, but not before Kane sets fire to Shane's car for good measure.

During the weeks, Shane is seen with Teddy Long as they agree to a big talent exchange. Shane seems especially pleased with himself.

Jeff Hardy is backing up Matt against the antics of Edge, Flair and Lita, but he also has stuff on his own plate as he beat Shelton Benjamin to earn a shot at the Intercontinental Champion; Carlito at Vengeance.

John Cena defeated Edge to get a title shot against Matt Hardy at WrestleMania. Cena and Matt had a war of words, Matt called Cena the corporate wrestler, while Cena called Matt the lesser brother of the two. Jeff attacked Cena backstage, angry at him insulting his brother, which lead to a match between the two which Cena won, and afterwards locked in the STFU, which Matt came out to stop.

The Event:

Trish Stratus(c) def. Lita after Edge comes out to help, is ready to spear Trish but instead spears Lita. Edge and Trish along with Flair stand tall, as Trish remains the Women’s Champion

Masters Of Cool(c) def. The Bashams and The Male Marvels (Sylvain and Conway) to retain the World Tag Titles

Jeff Hardy def. Carlito(c) for the Intercontinental Title

Big Show def. Kane in a Loser Leaves RAW Match, the two shake hands post-match, a rare instance of a tag team separating respectively

Randy Orton is revealed to be RAW's latest talent trade, as in exchange, Shelton Benjamin is moved to Smackdown. But Orton isn't alone, as with him is Umaga and Armando Alejandro Estrada. Orton is paying them top dollar to serve his best interests which involve winning the WWE Championship and headlining WrestleMania 23.

John Cena def. Matt Hardy(c) for the WWE Championship after Edge distracted Matt, while Trish and Flair attacked a beaten down Jeff. Lita arrived, bandaged on the waist to help out the Hardys, but by the time she came, the damage was already done, and Matt just looks at Lita, furious.
