Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 28, 2016

Renee Young interviews Zack Ryder during the pre-show. He hopes to make a WrestleMania moment for himself and for everyone when he wins the Intercontinental Championship. Chris Jericho shows up and tells him he doesn't have what it takes to be a champion, and that he doesn't deserve a WrestleMania moment...and neither does AJ Styles when he's done with him at WrestleMania just like he'll be done with Ryder tonight. Jericho shoves Ryder before leaving.

The Undertaker enters the ring to start tonight's show. He says that this year's WrestleMania will not be his last, and that the blood of Shane McMahon will be on Vince McMahon's hands, but Vince's blood may very well be on his. He calls WrestleMania his yard and Hell in a Cell his house, and says Shane will rest in peace. Shane McMahon shows up, greets the crowd, then says he and 'Taker will rip each other apart at WrestleMania, with the difference being that he's fighting to win and 'Taker is fighting not to lose. After the match, he says that whatever is left of him will crawl into the ring the very next night and leave Hell in the rear view mirror for the fans as he will be in control. When he mentions Undertaker's legacy, 'Taker tells Shane to shut his mouth. Shane gets in the ring, and tells him his legacy died at WrestleMania 30. 'Taker tells Shane is just like his old man, and that he's been his daddy's bitch since he was born. This starts a brawl, and it ends with 'Taker being hit with a commentary monitor before Shane leaps from the top rope to the commentary table to nail an elbow drop on The Undertaker. As Shane heads to the back, The Undertaker still manages to get up.



Before the next match, AJ Styles shows up and calls Chris Jericho out on his pre-show comments to Zack Ryder, and says he won't leave until Chris Jericho gives him his WrestleMania match. He then guests on commentary for the next match.

Zack Ryder beats Chris Jericho with an inside cradle, then eats a Codebreaker from Jericho. Jericho goes ballistic, and tells Styles he kicked the hornet's nest before telling him he's got him at WrestleMania before trying to belittle Styles for his lack of seniority in the WWE.

Sasha Banks guests on commentary for the next match.

Charlotte beats Becky Lynch after Ric Flair grabs Becky's ankle as she chases after Charlotte.



Renee Young interviews Vince McMahon. He says that this will be a taste of what we'll see at WrestleMania, and that Shane should realize all he's done is anger The Undertaker. Shane shows up, and says he sick and tired of his own dad acting like an omnipotent figure, and after saying that his father stole the company from father before him, he'll take the WWE from him at WrestleMania.



Big Show and Kane vs. The Social Outcasts (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) ends with everyone in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal gets in the ring and fights. (Before the match, Curtis Axel says "Happy birthday, Dad," referring to the birthday of his father, Mr. Perfect.) Big Show and Kane stand tall at the end of the brouhaha.



Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up. Stephanie tells everyone to get on their feet and show respect to Triple H, then get on their knees and grovel to him. Triple H says that in six days, he will shatter everyone's dreams when he beats Roman Reigns and retains the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at his 20th WrestleMania, then talks about the obsession that has made him what he is today, as well as his history with Roman Reigns. He then tells Reigns he has already won, as his obsession will destroy Roman's dream and he will walk out of WrestleMania as WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Stephanie then says WrestleMania is all about Triple H...then Roman shows up. He and Triple H fight, then Triple H retreat. Stephanie has the audacity to try to stop Roman Reigns, but she ends up fleeing, too.



Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are furious as they head backstage.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up and advertise the Booty-O's box and make fun of The League of Nations (Sheamus, King Barrett, Alberto Del Rio, Rusev) again, this time comparing them to nasty food.



Kofi Kingston beats Alberto Del Rio by reversing the Cross Arm Breaker into a schoolboy pin. After the match, Jonathan Coachman makes a surprise appearance, declaring The New Day (Kofi, Big E, Xavier Woods) his favorites, that SportsCenter will be live at WrestleMania this Sunday, and that he loves Booty-O's. He then dances with The New Day.



TV host, journalist, author and breast cancer survivor Joan Lunden is this year's Warrior Award recipient. She will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Dana Warrior.



Renee Young interviews Roman Reigns when Bubba Ray Dudley calls him out. D-Von Dudley joins him, and Roman Reigns fights them until Triple H shows up out of nowhere to stack the odds against Roman and attack him as well. The Dudleys leave as Roman is laid out, and Triple H tells Roman he will never take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from him. He then slams Roman's head into a metal box and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.



Kalisto beats Konnor. Viktor tries to attack him after the match, but Kalisto quickly dispatches him. Ryback then shows up, and he and Kalisto stare each other down.



Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up. Heyman puts Lesnar on a pedestal, and says that Dean Ambrose has no idea what he's up against at WrestleMania as "Dr. Lesnar" will give him a public colonoscopy in the middle of the ring. Dean Ambrose suddenly shows up with a big red wagon, and places weapons such as a chainsaw, a crowbar, a steel pipe, a baseball bat and other items located underneath the ring as well as one of the steel steps inside the wagon before walking off with them.



Emma beats Paige after the distraction and interference from the rest of Team Blonde (Lana, Summer Rae, Naomi, Tamina) Team Blonde fights with the rest of Team Total Divas (Paige, Brie Bella, Natalya, Alicia Fox) until the final member for Team Total Divas appears: Eva Marie. She helps clean house and even the odds.



Goldust meets up with R-Truth in the locker room. R-Truth tells him he won't have his back in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Truth then sneezes into Goldust's shirt.



Snoop Dogg is the celebrity inductee for the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.



Sami Zayn, Sin Cara and Dolph Ziggler beat Kevin Owens, Stardust and The Miz after Stardust and Miz, sick and tired of Kevin Owens not wanting to participate in the match, leave Owens high and dry when he finally wants in.



Dean Ambrose takes on Erick Rowan this Thursday on SmackDown!

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up again. They mock the crowd, saying that new leadership won't happen and that a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion won't happen, as both they and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship aren't going anywhere. Roman Reigns shows up a lot sooner the second time around, and he and Triple H go at it once again. Stephanie summons the locker room heels as Triple H beats up Roman, but the locker room good guys make the save to try and even it all up. Triple H rolls into the ring and is saved by all the bad guys, and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) have to calm Roman Reigns down as Triple H leaves. Roman Reigns leaps over the ropes and takes everyone else as Triple H crawls away.



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