Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for April 23, 2015
Seth Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) start the show. Rollins is glad that Orton got all the RKO's out of his system, because Orton won't be hitting him with it any time soon. Rollins also insists he doesn't need anyone else's help, especially an "aging former monster" like Kane. Kane shows up as if on cue, and tells him he could be either his friend or his foe on Sunday night. Rollins reminds Kane of what Triple H told him on Raw and tells him to stick to being a suit. Kane then says that since he and Rollins are talking like adults, he asks Rollins lay down for him like he did for Rollins, reminding him that he's in charge when Triple H isn't around and threatens to reach down his throat and pull his guts out if he refuses. Rollins reluctantly lays down, then Kane laughs it up, revealing it was all a joke in a way not unlike Randy Orton. His next action isn't a joke, however: he puts Rollins in a match against Dean Ambrose, and it's right now. When Ambrose shows up, though, Luke Harper shows up right behind him. Ambrose goes after Rollins, but Harper isn't far behind and Dean Ambrose eventually gets a 4-on-1 beatdown until Roman Reigns makes the save.
Before the next match, Sheamus tells Dolph Ziggler and Neville that he'll bring a ladder on Sunday so they won't have to stand on their toes to look at him. Sheamus and Bad News Barrett get jumped as a result.

Ryback beats Rusev by disqualification after Rusev hits Ryback with a steel chain. He then proceeds to perform an Accolade on Ryback with the chain.

Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for April 16, 2015
John Cena starts the show. He thanks the London crowd for making Raw memorable this week, and then explains the Russian Chain Match that he will have with Rusev: they will both be tied to each other with a long steel chain, and the winner is the first person to touch all four corners respectively. He then issues the open challenge, which is answered by Tyson Kidd and Cesaro...but they're not interested in the open challenge. They're here to just drop some facts, and say that they're the best champs in WWE today. Cena tells them that one of them had better step up after running their mouths, but then Daniel Bryan shows up. After seeing what the fans think of him, Cena and the team of Tyson Kidd and Cesaro, he tells Kidd and Cesaro to put their money where their mouths are and take them on in a tag team match against him and Cena. They accept.
Bray Wyatt beats R-Truth.
Roman Reigns states in a WWE.com exclusive interview that Big Show will have to continue to knock him down if he wants him to stay down.

Miz says he plans to put both Mizdow and Summer back on the unemployment line, and tells Summer to go back to lingerie football, which causes Summer to slap Miz (and Mizdow mimicking Miz's reaction).
Neville beats Sheamus by disqualification after Sheamus tosses Neville onto the commentary table. After the match, Sheamus repeatedly drops the knee on Neville until Dolph Ziggler makes the save. As Sheamus retreats, Ziggler calls him a bully, and says that he wants to throw down right now.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 13, 2015

Layin' da SmackDown! - SmackDown recap for April 9, 2015
Daniel Bryan shows up. He plans to make the Intercontinental Championship by actually defending it. He also mentions Sheamus' actions towards him and Dolph Ziggler last week, as well as Bad News Barrett getting a Bull Hammer in while he was bloodied and stunned last week. Bad News Barrett shows up, brags about that Bull Hammer, then Sheamus shows up and brags about the Brogue Kick he gave him to remind him not to take on anybody who's "not his size." They decide to give D-Bry a "European-style arse kicking" because they can, but Ziggler shows up and says he's ready to fight right now. Big Show comes out, and says he's sick and tired of "those pipsqueaks complaining" and wants a piece of D-Bry and Ziggler. It's almost a three-on-two fight until Roman Reigns shows up. Show tells Reigns that if he gets in the ring, he'll get hurt, but it's Show, Barrett and Sheamus who get hurt. They are forced to retreat.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 16, 2015
The Authority (Kane, Big Show, Seth Rollins, Joey Mercury, Jamie Noble) start the show. Rollins feels betrayed after Orton's actions last week. He goes on to say his betrayal of The Shield (Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns) was a sound business decision while Orton's betrayal of him was nothing more than disgusting and psychopathic. Big Show apologizes to Seth Rollins, saying he feels personally responsible. Kane says that Orton will betraying them, and Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury are distraught, and Mercury can't even speak. Rollins then accepts Orton's challenge to a match at WrestleMania 31, on the condition that Orton face him tonight on Raw. As Rollins badmouths Orton again, Orton shows up and accepts his part of the bargain, saying he doesn't mind a 5-on-1 match as it will still be worth it to strike Rollins down. He tells Rollins to finish the job, because if he doesn't, he'll finish him at WrestleMania.
Nikki Bella beats AJ Lee after Brie Bella attacks Paige outside the ring.
Renee Young interviews Kane and Big Show. Kane states that Big Show will be in Seth Rollins' corner tonight, but Show tells him that this is the first they've heard of him and yells at him to at least give him the option of making that decision himself. As Kane and Show bicker, Seth Rollins shows up and yells at them, telling them that this is what got them sent home and that they need to see the big picture. Kane tells Rollins to watch his tongue and tells him that he and Show enjoyed Orton humbling him like he did last week, and Kane tells him that he's been an entitled, spoiled brat ever since he helped him win the Money in the Bank Briefcase. Kane tells Rollins he won't be in his corner tonight, and extends that courtesy to Big Show...who also decides not to side with Rollins, either.
Ryback beats The Miz. During the match, Ryback tells Damien Mizdow to hit Miz, but Miz tells Mizdow to put his fist down. Mizdow does as Miz asks. After the match, Mizdow tries to help Miz up only to eat a Skull Crushing Finale.
Michael Cole hosts the contract signing for the United States title match between John Cena and Rusev at WrestleMania 31. John Cena shows up first, and says that the contract that he is about to sign is the most important one of all due to all that is at stake, and says that while Rusev is United States champ, he represents everyone in the crowd, and says that's not a good thing. He plans to fix that by beating Rusev at WrestleMania. He then signs the contract. Cole then introduces Rusev, who is without Lana and is dressed in a suit for once. Another representative takes Lana's place, and they both walk down the ring so Rusev can sign the contract, which he almost does. The guy who accompanied Rusev, however, is his attorney, who says that Rusev will not sign, saying that Rusev did not agree to this match in any way. However, he says that Rusev will sign if Cena curbs his "American barbaric behavior" and lets Rusev read his written statement, where he proceeds to bash America. Cena wants to jump Rusev, but the attorney gets in the way. After Rusev is done, he signs the contract, then topples the table, almost hitting Cena with it before fleeing.
Tyson Kidd and Cesaro land a cheap shot to beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E). After the match, Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego), who showed up to watch the match from afar, attack Xavier Woods ringside, starting a brawl that ends with Cesaro hitting the Neutralizer on Woods only to be taken out of the ring by a leg scissors takedown from El Torito.
Seth Rollins tells J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) to stay on their game and be in his corner, but Noble is at odds with Rollins for not trusting him concerning Orton and telling him and Mercury to leave last week. Both of them argue, and Noble quits after Rollins slaps him in the face and Mercury has to stop him from fighting each other. Mercury walks away along with Noble soon after this.
Brock Lesnar speaks about his current situation regarding his WrestleMania match against Roman Reigns in a pre-taped interview.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for February 26, 2015
Daniel Bryan shows up. He starts off with "No," saying he said it a few years back when he thought there was nobody in his corner. Now, the fans are in his corner, but even when he was able to get back to the top this year, he still came up short. He declares, however, that the Yes! Movement is not dead. When D-Bry mentions his plans, however, Bad News Barrett butts in and tells him he doesn't deserve a WrestleMania moment or a spotlight...and neither does Dean Ambrose, now that he's stolen the Intercontinental Championship. He threatens to beat up Daniel Bryan if he doesn't get out of the ring when Dean Ambrose waltzes in and brawls with Barrett. Daniel Bryan picks up the Intercontinental title and admires it, then Barrett crawls back into the ring and demands he give it back. After some hesitation, Daniel Bryan does just that...only for Barrett to be clocked by Ambrose as soon as he turns around.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 23, 2015
Randy Orton shows up to start the show. He's been out of action for four months, and he wants Seth Rollins. When he calls him out, however, Triple H, Kane, Stephanie McMahon and Big Show come out instead. Stephanie tries to kiss up to Orton and tell him that The Authority's hands were tied four months, and wants him to come back to the fold. Orton says he'd rather kick some ass than kiss some ass. Big Show tries to reason with him, saying that joining The Authority was the best decision he ever made in his life, and that it would be the same way for Orton. Stephanie tries to remind Orton that he's not a good guy and never has been, and decides to hold a business meeting in the back to settle things.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) quickly beat Paige and Emma, then beat them to a pulp. (The 30-second match, with only one offensive maneuver in the form of a Bella Buster to Emma, ends up being received so horrendously on Twitter that it starts the #GiveDivasAChance hashtag as well as a slow but steady improvement in Women's Division matches in WWE, who take the hashtag to heart.)

The show starts with Daniel Bryan.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 19, 2015
WWE remembers Martin Luther King, Jr.
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman start the show, and Lesnar immediately calls out Seth Rollins. Rollins has ten seconds, and he doesn't show up...but Triple H does. He wants Brock Lesnar to calm down and also wants to put the whole thing with last week's contract signing behind them. Lesnar asks Triple H if he's here to fix this or if he's here to fight. Stephanie McMahon, Kane and Big Show try to de-escalate this, but Seth Rollins appears on the TitanTron and tells Lesnar to wait for his shot at him at Royal Rumble. Heyman tells Rollins to "let the adults speak" and says Lesnar will still be champ after Sunday night. John Cena shows up and says the plot to get rid of him as well as the recent guilt-tripping concerning the firings of Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan won't work, then calls HHH and Stephanie "the world's biggest ash-holes." Stephanie tries to guilt-trip Cena again, saying he's not the Cena he used to be, and Seth Rollins says that nobody wants to see Cena win. Cena says we'll see about that, and that if he wins the title on Sunday, then Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan get their jobs back. Triple H decides to make a match tonight, and if he wins it, they're re-hired. If he loses, they're still fired and he's no longer in the title match at Royal Rumble. Triple H then decides to hold a WWE App vote to see if people want him to risk his title opportunity this Sunday to get them re-hired.
Bray Wyatt beats Daniel Bryan after Kane interferes behind the referee's back. After the match, Kane attacks Daniel Bryan.
Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and X-Pac are all in the same room. Damien Mizdow does his best X-Pac impression, but The Miz isn't pleased with this.
We see the Royal Rumble Legends Panel: Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Hulk and HBK say Cena should risk his title opportunity, Flair says he should not. They all come to agreement on one thing, though: the Royal Rumble match is a dangerous, unpredictable match that should not be taken lightly. HBK thinks Bray Wyatt will win the Rumble, while Hulk Hogan picks Daniel Bryan and Ric Flair picks Dean Ambrose. Suddenly, Big Show comes out and says he doesn't see legends in the ring, but "washed-up has beens." Show says they didn't pick him to win the Royal Rumble match because "they're jealous of him," when Show clearly knows he's beaten them all at various points in his career. Show says he's going to win the Rumble, since there's nobody in the back who can toss him over the top rope, and tells the Legends to leave the ring and "go back to the old folks' home." Instead, Flair fights him off only to get knocked out...then Roman Reigns shows up ready to do the same to Big Show. Show tells him to get out of the ring before he gets knocked out. Roman Reigns fights Show and sends him over the top rope, forcing Show to retreat.
Renee Young interviews John Cena. The WWE App vote has concluded, and the WWE Universe has voted by a landslide to see him fight. Cena's ready to do just that.
Dean Ambrose beats Bad News Barrett after reversing Wasteland.
The Royal Rumble match, by the numbers.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) beat Cesaro and Tyson Kidd.
This Thursday's match between Daniel Bryan vs. Kane on SmackDown is now a no-disqualification match!
Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and X-Pac show up for the New World Order reunion. Without them, there would be no Monday Night War. As they speak, The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) suddenly show up and proclaim they're better than everyone. Suddenly, JBL takes off the commentary headset and proclaims he's had enough. He takes off the shirt to reveal an Acolytes Protection Agency T-shirt underneath, Ron Simmons show up, and before they can fight The Ascension, The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) make a surprise appearance. They say that the ring contains racehorses and thoroughbreds, but calls The Ascension "jackasses" before fighting them. The Outlaws completely destroy The Ascension, then JBL hits the Clothesline From Hell on Viktor.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon announce John Cena's opponent: Seth Rollins, Big Show and Kane. All the while, they use a drum roll guy that they constantly give crap, and a guy with a horn plays "Taps" afterwards.
The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) guest on commentary for the next match.
Paige and Natalya beat Alicia Fox and Summer Rae with the PTO.
The Royal Rumble kick-off match will be The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Big E) vs. Cesaro, Tyson Kidd and Adam Rose.
Rusev beats R-Truth with the Accolade.
Seth Rollins runs into Brock Lesnar backstage again. Lesnar expresses his hope that Rollins takes down John Cena tonight, so he can focus on taking down Rollins himself on Sunday.
Jey Uso beats The Miz.
The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) will take on The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) at Royal Rumble.
John Cena beats Seth Rollins, Kane and Big Show in a 3-on-1 handicap match after a surprise appearance by Sting, his first since Survivor Series, leading to Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback getting their jobs back. After the match, Triple H wants Sting, whom he says doesn't belong here. Not long after, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up, and Lesnar lays waste to Rollins, Kane and Show.
Here's the top 10 moments from tonight's show!
