Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 29, 2015

Kane, J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) and Seth Rollins show up to begin tonight's show. He makes fun of the Washington, DC crowd as they have no idea how to gain true power or what true power even is. He says true power is earned by taking it before saying that last week, he went to Suplex City and burned it down when he beat down Brock Lesnar last week. Lesnar is not here tonight, according to Rollins. He then focuses on Jamie Noble's injury at Lesnar's hands last week, and commands the WWE Universe to show him some respect. He then tells Kane and J&J Security that he has something for them for their appreciation: brand new Apple watches, which the three of them enjoy. Rollins then tells Kane has something extra for him for being the glue that has held WWE together for 17 years: a vacation to Hawaii. Kane also gets an Hawaiian welcoming party, and Kane is ecstatic. Rollins proposes a no-disqualification tag team match with him and Kane vs. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose for later tonight, then awards J&J Security a brand new 2015 Cadillac CTS worth $55,660 with an all-leather interior (for Joey) after seeing them in a crappy rental car.



The Miz guests on commentary for the next match.

Big Show beats "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry. After the match, Ryback shows up and easily fights off Show, then The Miz rushes into the ring, hits a big boot on Ryback and flees up the entrance ramp. Ryback gets right back up, grabs the microphone and tells Miz to get back in the ring as he doesn't care if they have a match later tonight.



Ryback beats The Miz by count-out after The Miz runs away from the Meat Hook and runs up the ramp and towards the back.



Paige beats Alicia Fox with a nail-biter of a roll-up reversal.



John Cena shows up...and Kevin Owens answers his open challenge for the WWE United States Championship. But Owens grabs the microphone and says he'll wait for Battleground, before introducing Cena's real opponent for tonight: Cesaro. Owens then guests on commentary.

Cesaro vs. John Cena for the WWE United States Championship goes from an intense match to a complete washout after Kevin Owens rushes the ring and lays waste to both men before saying he did this to ensure he would win the title at Battleground.



Bray Wyatt appears on the TitanTron. He talks about his relationship with his father and says that anyone but Roman Reigns deserves what Roman has.



The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) and The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) and Bo Dallas.



Dolph Ziggler and Lana show up. Dolph admits that Lana used him to get back at Rusev at first, but says the situation has changed. Lana says that Rusev basically told her what to do, but now that she's her own woman, she realizes that Ziggler is more of a man than him. She admits that they have become more than just friends, then Rusev shows up...with Summer Rae. He calls Lana a "goldfish," but Ziggler shuts him up and tells him to walk away. They stare down, then Rusev backs away, but Summer Rae grabs the mic and calls Lana a gold digger before telling her to admit that she's just a two-timing phony. Summer then slaps her, and Lana responds by finally losing it and attacking her.



Dean Ambrose is talking to some life-size Terminator models (a reference to tonight's main event's sponsor, the upcoming movie Terminator Genisys, coming to theaters this Wednesday) when Roman Reigns shows up. Ambrose wants an angry Reigns for tonight...and he gets it.

Sheamus beats Neville.



King Barrett beats Jack Swagger.



Kane and Seth Rollins beat Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns in a no-disqualification match due to the surprise attack by Bray Wyatt. After the match, Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) almost put Ambrose through a table, but Roman fights them off only to fall victim to a choke slam from Kane. Rollins taunts a downed Reigns only for Reigns to fight back once more, only to fall victim to the numbers game once again. Seth Rollins then puts Roman Reigns through the table, but Roman is still stirring, and Rollins hits another Pedigree. Bray Wyatt then returns to an empty ring and hits Sister Abigail on a downed Roman Reigns to end the show.

Slammiversary XIII - The LIVE results

Watch this space for the LIVE results of TNA Slammiversary XIII! I'll be updating this blog as quickly as humanly possible, so if you can't watch this for whatever reason, this blog is here for your convenience. Thanks!

Slammiversary will feature professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Tigre Uno retains the TNA X Division Championship against Manik and DJ Z in a triple threat elimination match.

Jeremy Borash thanks the fans for thirteen years, then interviews Robbie E. Robbie E promises to get back at Jessie Godderz for nearly taking him out of the game, and calls him his bitch.

Before his match with Robbie E, Jessie Godderz fails to take Robbie E calling him his bitch seriously, and he insults the crowd as they chant "We don't care." As he talks about how he let Robbie E hang out with him only for Robbie to copy him (in his words), Robbie E shows up and the match begins before the bell can ring.

Robbie E beats Jessie Godderz.

Jeremy Borash interviews Matt Hardy. Hardy plans to prove himself outside of tag team history tonight by winning the King of the Mountain Championship.

Matt Morgan says that he's glad to be back in TNA, and that he's not here tonight to wrestle...he's here to fight. He makes the match against Bram a street fight.

Bram beats Matt Morgan in a street fight.

Jeremy Borash interviews Ethan Carter III and Tyrus. Ethan Carter III promises to become a champion soon by beating Kurt Angle for the world title, and in a rare moment, Tyrus speaks, putting EC3 on a pedestal. Tyrus also gives JB a hard time when he corrects him.

Despite Eddie Edwards trying to stop Bobby Roode from interfering in the match, Austin Aries beats Davey Richards, and The Dirty Heels (Aries and Roode) get to make the stipulation for Match 5 of their Best of Five Series...and it's going to be a 30-minute Tag Team Iron Man Match.

Jeremy Borash interviews Eric Young, who says he will do whatever it takes to become King of the Mountain tonight. He tells Jeff Jarrett that he should be scare of him.

Taryn Terrell announces she is now the longest-reigning TNA Knockouts Champion as she trash talks Awesome Kong and Brooke.

Brooke and Awesome Kong beat The Dollhouse (Taryn Terrell, Jade, Marti Bell).

Jeremy Borash interviews Magnus. Magnus has been here a while, and "The Cowboy" James Storm since day one. It becomes very clear that this match is very personal, and Magnus says the devil can't catch him tonight, as the devil is already inside.

"The Cowboy" James Storm beats Magnus in an anything goes, non-sanctioned match. During the match, Storm and Magnus almost knock out power to the arena.

Jeremy Borash interviews Drew Galloway. Galloway plans not only on winning King of the Mountain tonight, but he also plans to beat The Beat Down Clan (MVP, Homicide, Hernandez) in one last war Wednesday with Micah and Eli Drake.

Due to James Storm and Magnus accidentally knocking out the power briefly in their match, we get to see ring crew clean up the ring for the next match, and...we look at the ring for a few minutes. Commentary is also temporarily down.

Ethan Carter III and Tyrus beat Lashley and Mr. Anderson.

Jeremy Borash interviews Jeff and Karen Jarrett. Jeff Jarrett plans to go out the way he wanted, and go out with a bang. And if he wins? It'll be a whole other global level.

In his first TNA match in four years, Jeff Jarrett beats Bobby Roode, Matt Hardy, Eric Young and Drew Galloway to become the inaugural TNA King of the Mountain Champion! After the match, Jarrett celebrates with his wife Karen and their four children.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for June 25, 2015

Seth Rollins shows up with Kane and Joey Mercury to start the show. Rollins says he is surrounded by real family in Kane and Joey Mercury as he talks about how they beat up Brock Lesnar on Monday night, and is glad they are on his side. Rollins also acknowledges Jamie Noble's three (legit) broken ribs at the hands of Brock Lesnar, and dedicates tonight's broadcast to him. Kane calls Big Show "extended family of The Authority," saying he's not here tonight due to Ryback taking him down backstage on Monday. Kane calls out Ryback, and Ryback shows up. After Kane and Rollins chastise Ryback for his actions, Ryback calls Rollins out on his own crap, saying Rollins isn't a real champion. Kane then puts Ryback in a match against himself to see if he can prove his words. As Kane, Rollins and Mercury leave, Rollins cuts Kane's music off by saying he's tired of the lack of respect he's getting and decides to fight Dean Ambrose in a match tonight to finish what he started with him.

Roman Reigns comes to Tough Enough next week.

Jojo interviews The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods). They plan to take the tag team titles back at Battleground. The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) suddenly show up, and after Jojo wisely gets out of the way, they tell The New Day that at Battleground, one member of The New Day will have to stay in the back in the tag team title rematch. As the Prime Time Players leave, Bo Dallas shows up, and tells them that The Authority has allowed him to join them in an eight-man tag team match with him and The New Day vs. The Prime Time Players and two other people that they can scrounge up. The New Day and Bo Dallas hit it off after he tells them to Bolieve, and Bo Dallas gets a chance to practice his New Day clap with them.

Kane vs. Ryback almost ends before it can begin, as Big Show is here after all. He attacks Ryback from behind, rips the Intercontinental Championship off of him, and proceeds to give him a retaliatory beating after what happened on Monday night. After Big Show places Ryback in the ring, Kane uses his Director of Operations powers to tell the referee to ring the bell and start the match.

Ryback beats Kane by disqualification after Big Show attacks Ryback. Ryback tries to fight off Kane and Show only to fall victim to the numbers game. Show finishes off Ryback with two massive choke slams.



We get a short recap of the first episode of Tough Enough.

The Prime Time Players' (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) tag team partners for the next match are The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto).

The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) and The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) beat Bo Dallas and The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods).



Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns talk in the locker room. Dean wants to beat up Bray Wyatt for Roman's sake in order to send a message, but Roman says he wants to deal with Bray Wyatt on his own and tells Dean to worry about Seth Rollins, and that he has his back. After Ambrose leaves, Reigns finds a message in his vest that reads "Anyone but you." Once again, the picture of Roman Reigns on it has the eyes and mouth whited out.

Roman Reigns is looking for Bray Wyatt when he runs into Kane. Kane ejects Roman from the building for being a "liability." Despite Kane sicking security on him, Roman Reigns leaves on his own accord, but tells Kane that if he finds Bray Wyatt, it's going down.



Seth Rollins beats Dean Ambrose, thanks to the distractions by Kane and Joey Mercury.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 24, 2015

Ethan Carter III tells Jeremy Borash that Kurt Angle's opponent tonight is a "TNA institution."

Kurt Angle enters the ring. He tells Ethan Carter III his run for the World title is coming to an end. He tells EC3 to bring out his mystery opponent right now, but only EC3 and Tyrus show up. After saying he will take the title from him in seven days, Angle tells him to shut up so he can get the match over with, but EC3 continue to talk about how he's beaten everyone TNA has put in front of him, but it only convinces Angle that EC3 is in love with himself, and Angle promises to end his undefeated streak next week and make him tap. Ethan Carter III is in the mood to fight after that, but it's all a tease as he brings out the opponent he's picked for Angle tonight...Matt Hardy.

Tigre Uno beats Low Ki and Grado to win the TNA X Division Championship! Tigre Uno tells Christy Hemme that this is the greatest night of his life.

Velvet Sky beats Angelina Love and earns the right to return to TNA full-time.



The Dirty Heels (Austin Aries and Bobby Roode) aren't happy with the Full Metal Mayhem stipulation, but they're still certain they can use the lack of rules to stay in the series and break The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) in half.

Who will bring balance in a world on the razor's edge? Play time is over...

MVP is back. The Beat Down Clan (MVP, Low Ki, Kenny King, Homicide) may have lost to The Rising (Drew Galloway, Eli Drake, Micah), but they're back up and they're not done yet.

The Dirty Heels (Austin Aries and Bobby Roode) beat The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) in a Full Metal Mayhem match to tie the Best of Five Series up at two wins each.



Jeremy Borash interviews Matt Hardy when Ethan Carter III shows up. It does not take long for Matt Hardy to shut EC3 up.

Jeff Jarrett and his wife Karen Jarrett suddenly show up, much to the surprise of Josh Mathews and D'Angelo Dinero. Jeff is wearing a Global Force Wrestling T-shirt. A week ago, he was promoting a GFW show when TNA contacted him with a proposal. That proposal is a match, and not just any match. It's a King of the Mountain Match, and it's at Slammiversary this Sunday. Jarrett rattles off the names of wrestlers who became TNA legends, then hands the mike to Karen so she can air her reaction. She was against this at first, but she supported Jeff, who she says didn't leave TNA the way he wanted to go out. Jarrett says he's in the match Sunday, and says he's going to come out on top in TNA one last time.



Bram's opponent is none other than Vader.

Vader beats Bram by disqualification when Bram hits him with the steel turnbuckle. Bram continues to attack him when he is attacked by none other than "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan, who hasn't been seen in TNA in almost two years.



Eric Young beats Chris Melendez.



The Rising (Drew Galloway, Eli Drake, Micah) and The Beat Down Clan (MVP, Kenny King, Low Ki) are brawling in the ring as soon as we come back from commercials, and the BDC bring out a new secret weapon: Hernandez, who also hasn't been in TNA for a while.



Kurt Angle beats Matt Hardy with the Ankle Lock Submission. After the match, Ethan Carter III and Tyrus show up, and Matt Hardy fights them both off long enough so that Angle can fight back and put EC3 in the Ankle Lock Submission to end the show.



After the show, it is revealed that the contract signing segment involving "The Cowboy" James Storm and Magnus was not shown on television because their match is that personal. Their match is non-sanctioned, which means anything goes, the referee is only there to call the bell, and that nobody can be held liable for what happens.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 24, 2015

Hideo Itami shows up for the first time since NXT Takeover: Unstoppable. He'll be out for three or four months, and he'll be at the July 4th event in Tokyo. Kevin Owens shows up and says he's happy for Hideo, but says he's leaving Tokyo with the title as he makes it all about him. He also botches one of his lines, but makes fun of said botch by saying it sounded like Itami trying to speak English. He then wants an apology from Itami for saying he's a bad person, but Itami tells him he's both a great champion and a terrible human being. Owens decides to injure Hideo's other arm, and is about to get in the ring when Finn Balor shows up and stops him. Before Balor can hit the coup de grace on Owens, Rhyno shows up from out of nowhere and attacks Balor.

Finn Balor is announced as tonight's main event.

Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady beat Jason Jordan and Sylvester Lefort. It becomes obvious as Jordan and Sylvester argue that they won't be teaming up again any time soon.



Samoa Joe makes it clear he plans to make it so that Kevin Owens gets the beating of a lifetime.

Dana Brooke beats Cassie.

Charlotte tells Devin Taylor that she has no idea what Dana Brooke's problem is, but says that the next opportunity she gets, she's kicking Dana's ass.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for June 24, 2015

Johnny Mundo vs. Alberto El Patron is confirmed for Ultima Lucha.

Vampiro recently interviewed Super Fly. He says Sexy Star stole her mask, so he decided to steal something from her in the form of Pentagon Jr. injuring her, and tells Vampiro he kept that from happening. Vampiro says she beat him, but he doesn't care. Dario Cueto has authorized a rematch, and he plans to "put her in her place."

Super Fly beats Sexy Star, then attacks her after the match.

We see Dragon practice with some nunchaku.

When Pentagon Jr. shows up for his match, he rips the match away from the announcer. He's more interested in pleasing his master than getting an Aztec Medallion. He wants to destroy the man who took away his greatest sacrifice to his master, who just so happens to be Vampiro. He calls him out, but Vampiro doesn't budge. Pentagon Jr. approaches the commentary table, after several seconds, grabs him by the shirt collar only to get pushed back with authority. The referee stops a potential brawl from happening, but Vampiro gets a ton of respect from the crowd. Pentagon Jr. exits, the next match (for an Aztec Medallion) becomes a four-way instead of a five-way, and Vampiro is absolutely pissed.

Aerostar beats Cage, The Mack and Marty "The Moth" Martinez to win the third Aztec Medallion.

Ivelisse, Son of Havoc and Angelico are training - and arguing - when Catrina shows up. She tells them that death will come and claim all three of them, then The Disciples of Death (Barrio Negro, El Siniestro de la Muerte, Terce) show up and lay them out. After that, Catrina leaves with Mil Muertes.

Hernandez beats and chokes Drago with a belt before his match with Mil Muertes.

Mil Muertes beats Drago to earn the right to face Prince Puma for the Lucha Underground Championship at Ultima Lucha. After the match, Konnan and Prince Puma stare at Mil Muertes and Catrina from the top row stairway.



Here are the highlights for tonight's show!

King Barrett beats Zack Ryder.



Michael Cole interviewed Kevin Owens. Owens takes John Cena extending his hand and telling him that he deserves to be in the main roster as an insult.

John Cena shows up. He gets us up to speed on his war with Kevin Owens, and calls him a dirtbag who is unworthy of the United States title, and says that even if he's against the ropes and in a fight he cannot win with Owens, he will not give up. Kevin Owens shows up and admits he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him, and gloats in French that he will win the rubber match at Battleground. Cena tells Owens that nobody likes him because he's a "disrespectful suckbag," and accepts Kevin Owens' challenge at Battleground with the United States title on the line.



Seth Rollins tells Triple H and Stephanie McMahon that he's tried to extend the olive branch to Kane and J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury), but Triple H knows he's doing this because Brock Lesnar is back.

He also says that his parents got back together for the first time in 15 years to see him defend the title. Suddenly, Big Show shows up and tries to get to Ryback, which culminates in a brawl where Ryback sends Show to the floor and tells him he's not so big now.



Dolph Ziggler beats Adam Rose. After the match, Rusev loses it after seeing Lana and Ziggler kiss, and throws his crutches around, which causes him to fall down and hurt his ankle again. Summer Rae shows up, gives him one of his crutches, then leaves.



Triple H and Stephanie McMahon ask Kane and J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) to hear Seth Rollins out as he clearly wants their support now that Brock Lesnar has returned.

Seth Rollins shows up to apologize to Kane and J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury), and asks them to come to the ring so he can apologize to them individually, which they do. Rollins tells them this has to do with them and not about Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar shows up after Rollins apologizes to them, and when Lesnar jumps onto the apron, Kane and J&J Security leave him high and dry...almost. They fight Lesnar off at the last minute, and Rollins and Kane eventually get the upper hand and neutralize Lesnar, and Joey Mercury eventually joins in. Rollins finishes Lesnar off with a Pedigree.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 17, 2015

The show begins with a tribute to Dusty Rhodes.



Mike Tenay hosts the contract signing for Ethan Carter III vs. Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. After both men get in the ring, they get a chance to have their say prior to the bout. Ethan Carter III lays some sweet poetry about whom Kurt Angle has beaten in his career before telling him that unlike all those legends, he hasn't been beaten and that he will be Angle's endgame. Angle says the best matches are made for him, and that this one will be no different, especially when he plans to make this match a nightmare for EC3. According to the contract, both men will have "tune-up matches" prior to the match that will happen in 14 days' time, and EC3 finds out straight from Angle that he's facing Lashley.



Before The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) and The Dirty Heels (Bobby Roode and Austin Aries) face off in Match 4 of their Best of Five Series, The Wolves say that the tag team titles are what counts as they signify who is the best tag team in the world, and that they have proven that before with every tag team that's been thrown in their path. After they call The Wolves call The Dity Heels out, Bobby Roode shows up and says Austin Aries isn't medically cleared due to his match with Kurt Angle last week, and that he and Aries call the shots. The Wolves then challenge Roode to a singles match, and Roode almost doesn't want to do it until he comes up with a grand idea in order to see how badly The Wolves want him in the ring: whoever wins the match gets to pick the stipulation for the fourth match in their Best of Five Series. They like the idea, and Eddie Edwards challenges Roode to a match, right here, right now. Roode accepts the challenge.

Eddie Edwards beats Bobby Roode when Austin Aries suddenly shows up and tosses a steel chair to Roode only for Davey Richards to take it from him, leading to Edwards stacking Roode up off the distraction. Richards and Edwards immediately pick Full Metal Mayhem as the stipulation for Match 4 of their Best of Five Series.



Jeremy Borash runs into Joseph Park, who has fallen on hard times since his ugly exit from Impact Wrestling. He plans to make a comeback by challenging Bram tonight.

Bram is backstage. He doesn't like cameras, apparently.

Bram beats Joseph Park after putting him through a table.



Taryn Terrell has set up a stipulation for tonight's tag match between The Dollhouse (Taryn, Jade, Marti Bell) and the team of Brooke and Awesome Kong. If Brooke and Kong win, they both get a shot at the Knockouts title. If they lose, they can never get a Knockouts title shot for as long as she holds the title.

The world is burning. Playtime's over...

Brooke and Awesome Kong beat The Dollhouse (Jade and Marti Bell) to secure title shots at Taryn Terrell and the TNA Knockouts Championship.



Chris Melendez shows up. He's not happy at all that Eric Young ripped his prosthetic leg and disrespected him and everything he represents. He calls out Eric Young, who shows up promptly. He shows impressive respect for Melendez' military career, but says he doesn't care about him, the fans or anybody except himself. As for ripping his leg out and choking him with it, he came up with the idea on the spur of the moment. When he asks how badly Melendez wants him alone in the ring next week, Melendez makes it clear he wants him very badly. The match is on for next week.



Jessie Godderz beats DJ Z with the Boston Crab. After the match, he tells DJ Z that his attack on him was no mistake, and tortures him as he puts himself on a pedestal, saying he's the reason that he and Robbie E won the tag team titles twice. As he goes for a press slam on DJ Z, Robbie E shows up and brawls with Jessie, forcing Jessie to retreat.



Magnus shows up and threatens to crack open some heads until "The Cowboy" James Storm comes out. Security shows up, followed by Storm. Storm tries to sow distrust between Magnus and Mickie James and make himself look like the bad guy, then pulls out a baby stroller that he plans to use as an "insurance policy" against Magnus. Magnus goes after Storm, and decks the security guards that hold him back only to find out that the stroller only has a doll inside and not his son Donovan. Storm runs away and Magnus gives chase.



Ethan Carter III beats Lashley despite three referees having to make the count due to Tyrus attacking all of them.

Generation NXT - NXT recap for June 17, 2015

The show begins with the tribute to Dusty Rhodes, a man critical to NXT's current success.



Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady and Carmella beat Blake, Murphy and Alexa Bliss.



Samoa Joe is here tonight to give Kevin Owens the beating of his life. Even if he's not exactly the reason why he's here, he's a reason for Joe to stay a while.

We see Part 1 of "Where Is Finn Balor?", which looks into Finn Balor's childhood and early career, opening a wrestling school in Ireland, and leaving his friends and family behind for New Japan Pro Wrestling.



Charlotte beats Cassie McIntosh with the Figure Eight.

Dana Brooke is back from the Arnold Classic in Brazil, and she tells Charlotte she's replacing her and sending her back out the same door she came in.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 15, 2015

The show begins with a tribute to Dusty Rhodes.



Seth Rollins shows up to start the show. He acknowledges Dean Ambrose for bringing his A-game to Money In The Bank last night, then says Ambrose's A-game isn't as good as his. He names down a list of people to thank, which consists only of himself and nobody else. He then tells everyone to take a good look at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, as he says LeBron James will never bring a championship to Cleveland, Ohio. Suddenly, Dean Ambrose shows up. Ambrose and Rollins waste no time going at each others' throats, and even though Ambrose is walking upright perfectly, Rollins tries to work on it again only for Ambrose to fight back. Rollins retreats, and Ambrose grabs a steel chair and a microphone, threatening to hold a sit-in until Rollins comes back.



As Dean Ambrose continues to sit in wait, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon tell Seth Rollins they take his list of thanks from earlier very seriously. They have a plan for taking care of Ambrose. As for what's next for Rollins, Triple H and Stephanie tell him he'll find out at the end of the night.

Ambrose is sitting in the ring when Sheamus shows up. Sheamus calls Ambrose a loser for his crushing defeat last night, and that he's here as per Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to kick his head clean off his shoulders. This starts a match.

Dean Ambrose beats Sheamus when Sheamus tries to retreat only to have his escape route cut off by Randy Orton. After the match, Orton goes straight for Sheamus and gives him a beatdown before he retreats.



Seth Rollins tries to get J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) to tell him who Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have lined up for him, but Jamie Noble says they don't know and thinks that Joey Mercury should have a shot at Rollins. Rollins thinks J&J Security are trying to get their jobs back, but Joey insists that he can't wait to get a golden opportunity at him.



We see excerpts of classic Dusty Rhodes matches throughout the show.

R-Truth shows up with a toilet plunger and a white bedsheet for a royal cape, but finds out he's in a match with King Barrett. He manages to beat Barrett in seconds, only to be hit with a Bull Hammer. Barrett then teats Truth's paper crown and stomps on his bedsheet cape before telling Truth he is making a mockery of his royal title.



Major label recording artist MGK meets the Superstars and Divas of the WWE.

Kevin Owens shows up, fresh off of a loss last night which drove him to injure John Cena after the match with a powerbomb into the ring apron. He says that Cena forced him to do that after Cena told him he belonged in the ring with all these people, which he took as an insult as he doesn't need Cena to validate that. He calls Cena a bad winner for trying to shake hands with him after last night's match, and says it's Cena trying to hog the spotlight. He then demands Cena/Owens III...for the United States title. Since Cena's out tonight, he decides to hold an open challenge for the NXT Championship. Dolph Ziggler answers the challenge, saying he's had to scratch and claw his way to everything he's earned in the WWE, and that tonight will be no different. Before the match starts, however, Owens states he did not explicitly state that he was defending the NXT Championship, effectively making this a non-title match.



Kevin Owens beats Dolph Ziggler.



Paige holds an emergency meeting with all the other Divas, trying to get them to band together against The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella). Nobody is biting, even when she says she's challenged The Bellas to a 2-on-1 handicap match. When the Bellas show up and put down Paige, everyone else leaves.



Kane beats Randy Orton after Sheamus shows up and Kane uses the opportunity (and his Director of Operations powers) to make the rest of the match no-holds-barred. Sheamus puts Orton down with a Brogue Kick and Kane makes the cover.



Backstage, Kane runs into Seth Rollins. Rollins runs his mouth, but Kane tells him he's not the man and that he's really an idiot. Rollins tells Kane that he's always had someone holding his hand, and when he namedrops Paul Bearer, Kane goes nuts. Rollins tells Kane to hope he's not his next opponent.

Ryback guests on commentary for the next match.

The Miz beats Big Show by count-out when Big Show chops Miz in front of the commentary before tossing Miz into Ryback. Ryback and Show almost come to blows before Miz gets back in the ring and the bell rings, indicating that Show has lost by count-out. Show chases Miz out of the ring, then retreats before Ryback can hit him with a Meat Hook.



Roman Reigns shows up. He's not happy with Bray Wyatt ruining everything last night and calls him out. Wyatt appears on the TitanTron, calling the Money In The Bank Briefcase "his destiny," and makes it clear he wants revenge on Roman for spoiling his chance at glory. He is then seen looking at a picture of Roman Reigns with his daughter after asking why they should fight so close to Father's Day and set a bad example.



The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) beat Paige in a 2-on-1 handicap match.



Machine Gun Kelly performs his latest hit, "A Little More." After the performance, Kevin Owens shows up and confronts him before he powerbombs him off the edge at the top of the ramp and into a table below.





Neville and The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods).



Kane and Dean Ambrose talk in the locker room. Ambrose says he lives for getting the WWE World Heavyweight Championship right now, and asks Kane what he lives for. Kane doesn't really seem to have an answer.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up. Stephanie announces that disciplinary action will be taken against Kevin Owens for his actions towards MGK. Triple H then says that Jamie Noble, Joey Mercury and Dean Ambrose will not be Seth Rollins' next opponent. Suddenly, Seth Rollins shows up and says it doesn't matter who his opponent is as HHH and Stephanie were right when they said nobody can take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from him. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon want to see if Rollins can evolve under pressure, and his next opponent is none other than Brock Lesnar, who hasn't been seen since the Raw after WrestleMania 31. Lesnar slowly slinks out of the ring and Lesnar just continues to stare at him.



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

My predictions for WWE Money In The Bank 2015

R-Truth vs. King Barrett

At least R-Truth has a match.

My prediction: King Barrett will probably win this one.

John Cena vs. Kevin Owens

One win is in Kevin Owens' belt. Now the rematch is occurring. Can Cena tie it up, or will Owens dominate again.

My prediction: Owens will get a second win.

The Money In The Bank Ladder Match

Neville vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Sheamus vs. Kane vs. Roman Reigns

It's that time again: the one time every year where a bunch of big, sweaty men try to climb a ladder and grab a briefcase after 30 minutes of outlasting getting beat up by everyone else in what looks like a cross between a glorified brawl with ladders and what would look like competitive light bulb replacement to someone who doesn't regularly watch wrestling and is handed a screenshot of such a match with absolutely no context. There, there's your creative description for this match because WWE has done three PPV-style presentations in six weeks and it's making it harder to do these. Heaven forbid they do another one between now and SummerSlam.

My prediction: Roman Reigns will get the briefcase.

Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins (c)
in a Ladder Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship

Deano's stolen another belt. Not content with the fact that Seth Rollins retained the World Heavyweight Championship by disqualification after Elimination Chamber even after he had the match won, he's been running around with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Will he hold it for real this Sunday?

My prediction: Seth Rollins will probably retain.

The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil)
vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods)
for the WWE Tag Team Championships

The Prime Time Players have recently earned the right to be #1 contenders to the tag team titles. With at least one person in the corner of The New Day, two heads will be definitely be better than one when it comes to taking the titles from them.

My prediction: New Day will probably retain.

Big Show vs. Ryback (c)
for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Big Show is back after being knocked out by Roman Reigns and taken out of action. No longer with The Authority, he now sets his sights on Ryback to become Intercontinental Champion for only a second time in his career.

My prediction: Ryback will retain.

Paige vs. Nikki Bella (c)

Finally! It happens! Also, The Bella Twins are suddenly heels again after their feud with Naomi ended, because writing for the Divas is bottom of the barrel. Whee.

My prediction: Paige will probably take the title.

Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for June 11, 2015

Ryback beats The Miz. After the show, Big Show appears and says he's not impressed, and that Ryback won't get off as easy on Sunday. Ryback tells Show "Bring it, little man."

R-Truth guests on commentary for the next match.

Despite R-Truth nearly costing him the match by wearing his robe and crown, King Barrett still beats Jack Swagger.

After a Midnight Hour on Roman Reigns, everybody brawls, and Woods and Big E grab a ladder so Kofi can grab the Money in the Bank briefcase high above the ring.

Cena insists he take the challenge, and Owens comes up with a bright idea: let another person come out from the back and let them choose their challenge.

Seth Rollins shows up. He takes a steel chair with him into the ring, then talks about how he turned on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns one year. He didn't want to share the spotlight with them as they were "beneath him," and he was the only one with the guts to pull the trigger.
