Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 25, 2015

WWE honors Memorial Day.



Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Seth Rollins, Kane and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) show up. Seth Rollins is ticked with Dean Ambrose after what happened last week, and wanted HHH and Stephanie to do away with him, but Rollins says he doesn't consider Ambrose a threat. Triple H says that if he wants to make the match official, then Ambrose should come down to the ring and sign a contract making it official. Ambrose shows up and pokes fun at Kane, J&J Security and Seth Rollins after promising to replace Rollins as the face of the WWE. After Rollins tells Ambrose to get in the ring and sign the contract so that he can defeat him one last time, Ambrose heads to the ring. Before he enters, Roman Reigns appears to back Ambrose up. Stephanie gives Ambrose the end of the night to sign the contract to make the match for Elimination Chamber official. For now, she pits Ambrose and Rollins in a tag team match against Kane and Rollins, and it happens next.

Rusev is still waiting for Lana when Lana finally shows up. Rusev wants Lana back, and asks her to take his hand and all will be forgiven. Lana takes his hand, and they hug and celebrate, but Rusev wants Lana to admit she was wrong. Lana's tune immediately changes, and tells Rusev that he quit. When Rusev tells Lana that she should know her place and that he owns her, she tells Rusev that nobody owns her and he's a liar, a quitter and a coward before walking away. Dolph Ziggler appears, and Lana and Ziggler lock lips again to spite Rusev, who immediately becomes furious.



Triple H and Seth Rollins find Dean Ambrose in the locker room. The cameraman he threw Jamie Noble into is there, and he presses charges against Ambrose for assault as two police officers in suit are present. Ambrose is handcuffed and taken out of the room.
