Elimination Chamber 2015 - The LIVE Results

Rusev is confirmed as out and unable to compete tonight after suffering an ankle injury in his match with Ryback last Thursday on SmackDown.

Kane tells The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) that all three of them will be in the Elimination Chamber Tag Team Match for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Xavier Woods almost ruins it for them when he asks for a bigger pod so they can all fit, as Kane tells them that they can go first or second so it's not a problem. Big E covers Xavier's mouth, and Kofi says "Don't worry, we'll fit."

Tamina and Brie Bella are officially barred from ringside in the Triple Threat Divas Championship match.

Stardust beats Zack Ryder with a new finisher, the Queen's Crossbow (which is really the Cross Rhodes).



Tom Phillips interviews Lana for #AskLana. She says she has genuine interest in Dolph Ziggler, and that she is being less judgmental after what she did during her time with Rusev. As for leaving Rusev, she says it's bittersweet but she chooses to be free and happy.

Summer Rae introduces The Miz, who has returned to host a special edition of Miz TV. Tonight's guest is Daniel Bryan. D-Bry says he'll be back when Miz says his career is over and that he feels like the victim. D-Bry also says he's been writing a book, and Miz then tells D-Bry to make himself a cash cow. D-Bry responds by telling Miz to shut up and says he's here to present the Intercontinental title to whoever wins it tonight. Miz tells D-Bry he should be lucky he can't touch him, and that D-Bry should listen to him, but Daniel Bryan counters by saying that Miz TV is boring. Luckily, he has an idea to liven it up...Macho Mandow and Curtis Axel, the latter now known as Axelmania. Axelmania and Macho Mandow run wild on Miz, and Axelmania, Mandow and Daniel Bryan do a group crowd appeal afterward.



Eden Stiles interviews Dean Ambrose. Tonight, Ambrose has nothing to lose and everything to gain, and he plans to punch Seth Rollins in the face. Roman Reigns shows up and tells Ambrose he's in his corner tonight, so all he has to worry about is Rollins.

JBL gets us up to speed on how an Elimination Chamber match goes before the event starts.

In what is probably the biggest shocker this year since Seth Rollins won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Kevin Owens beats John Cena in a Champion vs. Champion match. After the match, Kevin Owens tells the WWE Universe that he started a fight with Cena and that he finished it, then gives Cena veteran advice: it's time for him to go, as his time is gone and Owens' time is now, and that the real champ is here.



Before the next match, Bo Dallas tells Neville that all he wanted to do was help, but he denied him. Now, he plans to force him to Bolieve.

Ryback beats King Barrett, R-Truth, Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus to win the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship! During the match, Sheamus' pod door won't open, but it's all a trick as Sheamus removes his Celtic cross necklace from the door to open it, revealing that it was a trick to help him buy some time as well as a way to keep the pod door ajar so he can use it as a shield just in case. After the match, Daniel Bryan and the WWE Universe agree that Ryback deserves it, and Daniel Bryan awards him the title. Ryback thanks Daniel Bryan, calling him an inspiration.





In two weeks at Money In The Bank, Kevin Owens and John Cena will have a rematch! Also, Dolph Ziggler, Neville, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston and Sheamus will face off in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match!

Despite Dean Ambrose wiping out both Seth Rollins and the referee with a top rope manuever, another referee shows up and makes the three-count just in time, and Dean Ambrose beats Seth Rollins to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship...almost. The first referee is back up after the match and explains that he got hit because Rollins pushed him in front of Ambrose. Dean Ambrose still wins, but it is by disqualification and Seth Rollins still retains. Ambrose isn't okay with this, and almost falls victim to the numbers game of Kane, Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) when Roman Reigns arrives. In the end, Ambrose takes the title with him, and he and Reigns leave through the WWE Universe.

Roman Reigns returns this Thursday night on SmackDown!

John Cena shows up. After dedicating the United States title to the men and women of the American armed forces, and declaring it "our championship," Cena declares an open challenge for the title. That challenge is answered by Kevin Owens, who congratulates Cena on his victory at Payback. After harsh words are thrown on both sides, Owens pretends to back out of the open challenge and declare he'll face Cena on his own terms only to get a cheap shot on Cena and hit him with the pop-up power bomb he's known for in NXT. He then stomps on the US title, lifts up the NXT title and tells Cena he can't see him.

As everyone in the ring celebrates Rollins' victory at Payback, Kane thanks Rollins and shows off a Seth Rollins video package on the TitanTron. Jamie Noble thanks Rollins for the privilege of working with him, and Joey Mercury almost does the same when Dean Ambrose shows up and crashes the party. Ambrose still wants that title rematch at Elimination Chamber, but Rollins won't give it to him. Stephanie tries to defuse the situation by sicking Rollins on him, and when Ambrose goes at it with Rollins, Noble and Mercury go for Ambrose as well. Ambrose fights them all off - and Kane, too - and threatens to smash Rollins' head through a set of cinderblocks with a steel chair. Triple H and Stephanie relent, and promise to give him the match if he lets Rollins go. Ambrose almost reneges, but Mercury and Noble get the chair away from him.

Eric Young shows up and says he will never quit until he takes the World title from Angle, but Angle responds by telling EY to shut up, as he hung out with cancer and the cancer nipped him in the ass. Eric Young tells Angle he's hanging with losers and says he only cares about his team: The Beat Down Clan, who attack Angle's team from behind.

My predictions for WWE Payback 2015

Curtis Axel and Damien Sandow vs. The Ascension

It started as a match between AxelMania and Macho (Mandow) Madness...but The Ascension just had to interfere and talk crap with their anti-Legend shtick. That backfired for them, because now Axel and Sandow have just become The Meta Powers, and they're coming for The Ascension.

My prediction: The Meta Powers will explode...and win this match.

Rusev vs. John Cena (c)
in an "I Quit" Match for the WWE United States Championship

Right on the heels of the Russian Chain match at Extreme Rules, Rusev and Lana made a rubber match between Rusev and Cena for the United States Championship...and this time it's an I Quit Match, a match type which Cena has a history of prevailing in every time. Can Rusev break that streak and reclaim what he considers his?

My prediction: Cena's winning a third time. Watch.

Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins (c)
in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship

It all started with Randy Orton and Roman Reigns wanting a title shot. Kane made it so while Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were away, much to the chagrin of Seth Rollins. The thing is, Seth Rollins kept trading insults with Kane to the point that Kane threatened to make it a Fatal Four-Way with Dean Ambrose thrown into the mix after Rollins kept complaining about the matches he was put in...and he did. Now that Triple H is back, Kane's role as Director of Operations is on the line, and if Rollins fails to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, his services will no longer be needed. Not only that, but it's pretty clear that Ambrose and Reigns are putting their brotherhood aside and showing no mercy towards Rollins...and each other. How is this gonna end?

My prediction: Rollins is going to retain somehow.

King Barrett vs. Neville

The newly-crowned King of the Ring has a rematch against the man he kept from that title. Will the Bull Hammer ride again, or will the Red Arrow hit its mark?

My prediction: Barrett will probably win this one.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus

Well, we saw this coming when Sheamus refuses to kiss Ziggler's ass and instead reversed the roles...by force. With Ziggler ruining everything for Sheamus and vice versa, is it possible that Sheamus has missed with the wrong (little) guy?

My prediction: Ziggler will get another win on Sheamus.

Tyson Kidd and Cesaro
vs.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) (c)
for the WWE Tag Team Championships in a Two-out-of-Three Falls Match

Well, at least Cesaro has experience with this in the form of a wicked match against Sami Zayn at NXT: ArRival. But this is a tag team match we're talking about this time, and just about anything can happen!

My prediction: The New Day will retain.

Ryback vs. Bray Wyatt

After WrestleMania 31, it appeared that Bray Wyatt wanted to get his win back from The Undertaker. For weeks, we had no idea who he was talking to. After Extreme Rules, we found out who that person was: Ryback. But Ryback is made of tough stuff. Hopefully Bray won't get to him...right?

My prediction: Bray Wyatt will probably win this one.

Naomi and Tamina vs. The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella)

Naomi is tired of making absolutely no headway in the Divas Division, and has now stopped being Ms. Nice Lady in favor of bringing out an aggressive streak and taking what she wants! Meanwhile, Tamina is finally back after being injured for about a year, and they're now teaming up to get what they want...and what they want also includes taking down The Bella Twins!

My predictions: The Bellas will probably win this one.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for May 14, 2015

Bray Wyatt interrupts the introduction to tell Ryback he will make an example out of him.

Dean Ambrose shows up. He says he'd rather be alone...and he plans to stand alone at Payback with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship just like he stood alone on Raw. When he says that he has one thing to say to Roman Reigns before Sunday, Roman shows up as if on cue. Dean tells Roman he isn't getting an apology after what happens at Payback, but Roman says he isn't expecting one. He says that he and Ambrose are brothers tonight, but on Sunday, he's bringing out the big guns. As Roman extends his hand for a handshake, Ambrose is about to shake hands with him when Kane shows up, telling them they should be concerned about they'll even make it to Sunday. Dean Ambrose retorts by saying that Kane should be more concerned about whether he'll keep his position as the Director of Operations. Kane responds by putting Dean Ambrose in a match against Sheamus...and that match happens right now.

Dean Ambrose beats Sheamus after sending Sheamus' head into the top of the post and hitting the schoolboy for the win.



Seth Rollins runs into Kane backstage and tells him to do the right thing. Kane says he won't know what to do until Sunday night in Rollins' match. Kane says he has to get ready to face Roman Reigns tonight, then tells Rollins he has a match against Ryback.

Rusev then tells John Cena that he has no focus, and that he will be saying "I Quit" on Sunday. Rusev then play a looping clip of John Cena saying "I Quit" from this Monday's Raw before the Russian flag comes down.



Renee Young interviews Ryback. There is a lot a stake as he will be facing Seth Rollins tonight. As for Wyatt, he saw fear in his eyes Monday, and he'll put fear in them again at Payback.

We see more Tough Enough videos.



Before his match, Seth Rollins says he hopes everyone enjoyed the beatdown he got at Raw, becuase it's the last time they'll see anything like that. He says that his opponents at Payback are as cutthroat as he is, and he will pick up the pieces and emerge victorious. As he is about to talk about Ryback, Ryback shows up only to be attacked by Bray Wyatt. Officials check on Ryback after this.

Ryback is willing to go on with his match against Seth Rollins.

Seth Rollins beats Ryback.



Renee Young interviews Naomi and Tamina. Naomi is tired of getting nothing for years, and says it's time for her and Tamina to run the Divas Division.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Big E) call Tyson Kidd and Cesaro "cheaters" and "bad people." They tell the WWE Universe not to be like them, and instead be like The New Day. It doesn't work.

Tyson Kidd beats Kofi Kingston when Cesaro and Natalya foil the distractions by Big E and Xavier Woods.



Bo Dallas talks trash about Daniel Bryan before his match.

King Barrett guests on commentary in the middle of the next match.

Neville beats Bo Dallas. After the match, King Barrett tells Neville that he has no time for a peasant, and that he'll get corporal punishment in the form of a royal Bull Hammer at Payback.



Adam Rose dumps the Rosebuds for Rosa Mendes, after he threatens a guy in a hot dog suit for asking if they're getting paid. Also, Kane is not impressed with the fact that Rose and Rosa are making out.



Roman Reigns beats Kane in a no-disqualification grudge match.



Renee Young interviews Seth Rollins, who is undeterred by Roman Reigns' win. Ambrose comes up from behind with a plate of cookies and attacks Rollins. Reigns shows up and clears the room of both Rollins and J&J Security, then Reigns and Ambrose both find out they're in the same room. They then look down to the floor...and at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Roman wants to shake hands, but Dean kneels down and takes the belt before handing it to Roman, saying "Don't worry...I'll take it on Sunday."



Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Hernandez beats Alberto El Patron to become #1 contender to the Lucha Underground Championship after Johnny Mundo shows up and attacks Alberto before throwing him through one of the windows of Dario Cueto's office, shattering it, much to the surprise and eventual satisfaction of Hernandez.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 11, 2015

Triple H is back...

Triple H enters the ring to start the show. He wastes little time in calling Seth Rollins and Kane out to the ring. Rollins shows up, and says he wants to function at the top of his game but can't because of Kane's recent actions. As he keeps talking trash about Kane, Kane eventually shows up, and both he and Rollins argue. Triple H shuts them both up, and thinks that Kane may not be neccessary as Director of Operations anymore. Kane's silence tells HHH he doesn't want that, so HHH decides to make him more invested in the Fatal Four-Way by putting all four of its competitors in matches tonight. Kane is pitted against Roman Reigns, while Rollins is pitted against Randy Orton. Jamie Noble mouths off at Triple H for this, and Triple H responds by making fun of his height as he pits Noble and Joey Mercury against Dean Ambrose in a handicap match...and that match is next.

We see more Tough Enough application videos.

Daniel Bryan shows up. He admits that there has been some downtime in the last few weeks where he's seen doctor after doctor. After talking about how he was stripped of the World Heavyweight title, he goes into why he showed up. He had an MRI last week, and he may be out for weeks or months. Therefore, he is relinquishing the WWE Intercontinental Championship, saying it belongs in the ring and not in a physical therapist's chair.
