Vince McMahon tells Roman that Triple H might get revenge for what he did to him, and that he also disrespected and embarrassed Stephanie McMahon last week, before cutting to the chase and telling Roman that he will eventually realize that he owns him. Roman disagrees, and so does the WWE Universe. After some Daniel Bryan and CM Punk chants, Vince McMahon admits he worked the living crap out of his uncle Afa and his father Sika - the Wild Samoans - and lined his pockets with their money. All of a sudden, Roman pushes Vince, and Vince falls down, and Vince says his neck hurts. Stephanie McMahon shows up and tells two officers to arrest Roman, but they arrest, and tell her to step back or else she's going to jail and not him. Vince talks to the officer and gets his hands on one of them, and three more policeman get in the ring ready to conduct business. They then quickly change their minds and eventually handcuff Mr. McMahon, then haul him off through the WWE Universe and to the back. Stephanie McMahon goes after them, arguing with the officers as they go. Roman Reigns celebrates getting out of this situation scot-free.



During the commercial break, Vince McMahon is placed in the back of a police car.

Slater tells Show nobody cares what he has to say and tells him to leave, but Show responds by knocking Slater out, beating other people up, choke slamming R-Truth when he tries to pretend to be knocked out, and brawling with Ryback before tossing him out of the ring. He then says he will enter the Royal Rumble as entrant #1, win the Rumble, win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 32, then shove it up the WWE Universe's collective ass.

He calls out Alberto Del Rio for not defending the WWE United States Championship on Raw, and admits that he gave his all when he defended the title every week. He is disappointed that Del Rio will not defend the title tonight, and calls that a disgrace to the United States and a disgrace to the WWE Universe.

Sheamus then tells Roman Reigns that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have launched an independent investigation, and while it's ongoing, Roman can't be in a match, and he can't even be in the building right now.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 14, 2015

The show starts with Stephanie McMahon. She enters the ring and, after explaining what happened last night, is just about to do something to Roman Reigns when Roman himself shows up. Roman says he's a father as well, in response to Stephanie McMahon saying he's a wife and mother, then dares Stephanie to fire him. Stephanie goes on to say that once again, Roman blames everyone but himself for losing the WWE World Heavyweight title and calls him "a failure and a disgrace," but Roman says the real failure and disgrace is Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and their entire family. Steph responds by slapping Roman multiple times, then saying she won't fire him because Triple H told her not to. She does, however, say someone else will, and that someone else is Vince McMahon, who will be in the arena later tonight.



Dolph Ziggler vs. Dean Ambrose ends with Kevin Owens rushing into the ring and tossing Ziggler out of the ring before hitting Ambrose with a pop-up powerbomb out of revenge for last night. Owens then takes the WWE Intercontinental Championship, walks into the ring with it, then hits another pop-up powerbomb on Ambrose. Ziggler goes after Owens after this, but he goes down, too. He then takes Ziggler and powerbombs him onto Ambrose.



Jojo interviews Kevin Owens, who says nobody knows just how badly he needs the Intercontinental title back as much as he does, and that he doesn't have to justify his actions. He says that this is only the beginning.

The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley), Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno aren't done yet. They're in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the home of the original Extreme Championship Wrestling...and they're ready for one more fight with The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) and to take the city back to the extreme.



Stephanie McMahon waits backstage for her father, Vince McMahon.

Roman refuses, and Vince says that at one time, he would have beaten an apology out of him. He takes his suit and tie off and is about to do it when Sheamus shows up and says he wants the honors. Sheamus says he's beaten Roman before, and that he could do it again. He even puts the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line yet again, and when Vince asks if the WWE Universe wants it, they cheer...then Vince says there's no chance in hell. Roman then takes the mic and makes fun of Vince, saying that "his grapefruits" are "old, shriveled-up prunes." Vince gives Roman his match, with a caveat: if Roman doesn't win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tonight, he's fired. He then kicks Roman Reigns in the nuts and leaves.

They admit that The Usos have earned their respect, and want to bury the hatchet. The New Day then call out The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto), who are also cautious. The New Day highly commend Sin Cara and Kalisto for their part in the match, but The Lucha Dragons confront Xavier Woods for throwing his trombone into Kalisto's back. Xavier Woods apologizes, but even The Usos don't believe it. Xavier Woods says that all three teams in the ring brought the tag team division to the next level, and want to extend the olive branch. The Usos are the first to shake hands, followed by The Lucha Dragons.

My predictions for TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs 2015

Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus (c)

in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship

Poor Roman. No sooner does he finally win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the title tournament does Sheamus cash in and Brogue Kick all of efforts away after five minutes of celebration. Now Roman is at square one...again...and now he has a face to put to the obstacle in front of his end goal. Can Roman Reigns survive the onslaught of wood and heavy metal, or will Sheamus somehow slither by with his world title reign intact?

My prediction: Sheamus is retaining.

Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens (c)

for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Dean Ambrose may not have won the World Heavyweight Championship, but thanks to a victory in a three-way dance, he has earned a shot at the Intercontinental title. But Owens won't give up the title that easily. With two guys this crazy and determined, will the history of the Intercontinental Championship become the Ambrose Asylum...or The Kevin Owens Show?

My prediction: Ambrose is taking the title.

The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto)
vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso)
vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) (c)

for the WWE Tag Team Championships

The New Day thought it was a bright idea to issue an open challenge for the tag titles...and then cancel it when it was answered by more than one team, both of whom were open for a triple threat match. Now the power of positivity is about to meet its biggest test...

My prediction: This is probably the wildest prediction I'm going to make...but the Lucha Dragons are taking the titles.

Paige vs. Charlotte (c)

for the WWE Divas Championship

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Paige gets a rematch against Charlotte for the Divas title, and bashes Paige even more as she does.

My prediction: Charlotte will retain.

The ECW Originals (Bubba Ray, D-Von Dudley, Tommy Dreamer, Rhyno)
vs. The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman)

in an 8-Man Tag Team Elimination Tables Match

Now done with their war against Kane and The Undertaker, The Wyatt Family have re-focused their efforts on The Dudley Boyz. But the Dudleys have just gotten some back-up in the form of fellow ECW alumni Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno...and some tables with the Wyatt's names on them...
My prediction: Dudleys and Co. will win.

Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio (c)

in a Chairs Match for the WWE United States Championship

Jack Swagger is finally sick of Zeb Colter for betraying America and his values for creating the short-lived Mexamerica and teaming with Alberto Del Rio to take the United States Championship. But it's all going out the window and it's all gonna be personal, as Del Rio has finally kicked Zeb and his scooter to the curb.

My prediction: Alberto Del Rio will somehow retain.

Ryback vs. Rusev

Here's a match, because things happened. Yeah, I got nothin'.

My prediction: Rusev will win this one...somehow.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for December 10, 2015

He calls the four nations part of his world and he's just allowing them to breathe in it. After Bray says his family is in it for the chaos, both sides are about to fight when The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) and Tommy Dreamer show up.
