Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 14, 2016

During the pre-show, The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, King Barrett, Alberto Del Rio) says that the numbers are in their favor, and that they will take the WWE Tag Team Championships.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up and brag about their victory at Roadblock and advertise their new boxed T-shirt.

The League of Nations (Sheamus, King Barrett, Rusev, Del Rio) decimate The New Day (Kofi, Big E, Xavier) after the match.


Dean Ambrose shows up. He says he was so close to winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but he fell just short. He then asks somebody to ask Triple H how he's feeling today, then says Triple H learned what happens when you take him lightly. At this point, Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up. Heyman says that WrestleMania 32 is coming up, and he asks Ambrose to stop provoking Lesnar or he won't make it to WrestleMania and Lesnar won't have an opponent that night. Ambrose says Lesnar is willing to fight him right now, then Heyman hypes up Ambrose vs. Lesnar before cutting the promo short. Heyman leaves, but Lesnar approaches the ring. Ambrose pulls out a crowbar as Heyman catches up with Lesnar. Lesnar circles the ring, then goes at Ambrose, who quickly swings the crowbar. Lesnar thinks twice and retreats.


Ryback beats Sin Cara with two Shell Shocked, hitting the second one after he glances at Kalisto. After the match, he tells Kalisto that's what happens when a "good big guy" beats a "good little guy" and that "size matters." He then challenges Kalisto for the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 32.


WWE and Burger King look back at the "dogs" of the WWE - Mad Dog Vachon, The Junkyard Dog and "Road Dogg" Jesse James as part of an advertisement for Grilled Dogs.

Stephanie McMahon shows up and introduces Triple H, who also shows up in the suit. He gloats over his victory against Dean Ambrose last night, saying hope is not a strategy and that hope is how everyone lives out their lives as he makes fun of the crowd about how they hope and hope and then blame people when something doesn't go their way and they head home a failure, complaining but never doing anything about it. He then says that Roman Reigns will not take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from him at WrestleMania 32, then Dolph Ziggler shows up. He says his place is in the ring, but Stephanie refuses to take him seriously. Ziggler, having had enough of Triple H calling everyone failures, says he will not quit coming to work, and says people like him and Ambrose were screwed by the system...The Authority's system. Stephanie considers firing Ziggler, but Triple H implies that Dolph Ziggler would be great if they sided with him. Ziggler refuses, calling Steph "idiotic." Stephanie slaps Ziggler, then gives him a shot at any title except for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, but he has to win just one match tonight. When Ziggler is all too eager for the match, she puts him in a match against Triple H tonight.

The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) guest on commentary for the next match.

The Usos get a quick win against The Social Outcasts (Bo Dallas and Adam Rose).


Dean Ambrose is in the locker room with the crowbar when Mick Foley shows up. Foley tells Ambrose what he's doing with Brock Lesnar is a bad idea, but Ambrose knows that. When Foley asks why he's doing it, Ambrose asks Foley if he was afraid at the top of that cage and asks him why he kept going. Mick says he did because he was Mick Foley, and that's what he did. Ambrose then says he's provoking Lesnar because he's Dean Ambrose. Foley then tells Ambrose to take Lesnar for an historical trip at WrestleMania 32, and replaces the crowbar with a gift, calling it "a passing of the torch." Ambrose reaches inside to reveal the gift that keeps on giving: the barbed wire bat.


Triple H beats Dolph Ziggler. After the match, Roman Reigns shows up at the entrance ramp and brawls with Triple H as Stephanie McMahon runs away. Roman Reigns scares away and beats up officials as he brawls with Triple H, who gets busted open on the side of his head as the brawl goes to the tech area and then backstage, where Roman Reigns hits Triple H in the back with a flat-screen television. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), Jack Swagger and Mark Henry all have to calm down Roman, telling him to save the aggression for WrestleMania.

This Thursday on SmackDown: Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Charlotte come face-to-face-to-face! Also, will Roman Reigns show up?

Vince McMahon shows up. He says that Shane McMahon's dreams will be just that after WrestleMania: dreams. He also says that he wil be standing proud and gloating, and exclaims that the best part is that he doesn't have to lay a finger on him as The Undertaker will do it for him. The Undertaker shows up. Vinec tells him not to lay his hands on him ever again, and apologizes for getting The Undertaker angry at him a couple of weeks ago. Vince says that The Undertaker won't mind completely destroying Shane McMahon, saying that while it may be called an unholy alliance, he calls it what's best for business. Shane McMahon shows up, and says Vince isn't what's best for business anymore. Shane says he's got The Undertaker figured out, saying that 'Taker won't be able to hit him due to his speed, that his body will be a 230-pound weapon, and that he has a lot of heart. 'Taker says it still won't be enough, as he still has his fists, and his fists are his legacy. Shane knows this and says he's surprised 'Taker is Vince's "puppet," but 'Taker says nobody controls him. Shane sees it differently, being Vince's son, and calls 'Taker "Vince's bitch." The Undertaker destroys Shane for that comment, and he almost goes after Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon and The Undertaker then stare at each other across the entrance ramp to end the show.


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