Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 2, 2016

Stephanie McMahon arrives to start tonight's show with a red shopping bag. She is about to welcome everyone to the show for the first time in a while when Shane McMahon arrives. After Shane does the welcoming, we findout what's in the red shopping bag as a peace offering for Shane: the portrait of Vince McMahon and Shane that Vince destroyed before WrestleMania. Shane is about to mention his ideas, as per the fans, when Kevin Owens shows up. He has his own idea: him having a rematch for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. He also expects Stephanie to do the right thing, compared to Shane. Suddenly, Cesaro shows up and confronts Kevin Owens for ruining what could have been an Interconetinental Championship win. Shane makes a #1 contender's match for the Intercontinental Championship between the two.

The Miz and Maryse guest on commentary for the next match.

Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens ends after The Miz, who receives an uppercut from Cesaro despite stopping Owens from attacking Miz with the Intercontinental Championship, interferes during the Cesaro Swing. Owens confronts Miz for costing him #1 contendership, then Cesaro gets up and fights them both off only to fall victim to the numbers game. Sami ayn rushes in and fights off Cesaro, and is about to fight Miz when Maryse gets him out of the ring. Sami Zayn then picks up the Intercontinental Championship and raises it into the air.

Stephanie McMahon runs into Dean Ambrose backstage. Ambrose still thinks Stephanie resents Shane McMahon for having to share power with him. Stephanie sets up an Ambrose Asylum segment for tonight, and it's an "open forum" where Stephanie herself is the guest and Ambrose can ask her anything he wants.

R-Truth and Tyler Breeze take selfies (with Truth's selfie stick being an actual stick with a cellphone taped to it), and Truth teaches Breeze how to rap. R-Truth says this would be easier with Goldust...who shows up and challenges Tyler Breeze to a match in a challenge of hilarious proportions.

AJ Styles talks with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson about the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Extreme Rules rematch when Roman Reigns shows up. He has respect for AJ Styles after the match, but not Gallows and Anderson. He is still convinced AJ Styles can't take the title from him by himself, and then wants to know if the three of them can beat him and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). Styles tells Roman he will take the title all by himself at Extreme Rules, and tells Roman's that it's on concerning the six-man tag match.

In a bizarre, comedic match where Goldust tries to get R-Truth's attention and R-Truth dances with Fandango, Tyler Breeze beats Goldust when Goldust is distracted by Truth and Fandango dancing and pinned with a roll-up by Tyler Breeze. (To top off the weirdness, this is Tyler Breeze's first win in 2016. You're reading this right.)

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up. It is announced that they will defend the WWE Tag Team Championships against The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch) at Extreme Rules. They address Enzo Amore's injury, and show the tweet from WWE's Twitter saying that Enzo is okay on the TitanTron. Xavier Woods then says that when Enzo Amore is ready to return, The New Day will be right here waiting. Suddenly, The Vaudevillains show up, admit that Enzo's injury was tragic, but say that this is a tough business and though things happen. They also say a real man would have gotten back up from that, and gloat about taking down Enzo. As they talk about how they're real men and that they've left no doubt they're next in line for the tag titles, The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) show up and say The Vaudevillains didn't prove anything at Payback. As Bubba Ray and D-Von say that they deserve a shot at the tag titles, Colin Cassady shows up, sick and tired of The Vaudevillains gloating over taking out Enzo, and plans to finish the job from last night. He also tells The Dudley Boyz to stay out of this, as they were already eliminated from the #1 Contenders' Tag Team Tournament. Big Cass then gets in the ring, starting two brawls: one between him and The Vaudevillains, the other between The New Day and The Dudley Boyz.

Colin Cassady and The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) beat The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch) and The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley).

WWE wishes The Rock a happy birthday.

Emma beats Becky Lynch with a thumb to the eye that the ref can't see.

We see yet another Primo and Epico vignette.

It's time for The Ambrose Asylum with Dean Ambrose. Tonight's guest is Stephanie McMahon. Dean Ambrose still feels Stephanie is pretending to be happy and still resents Shane McMahon. He then mentions Stephanie getting Speared by Roman Reigns. Stephanie says that Roman Reigns "taught her a very valuable lesson." Ambrose then mentions Shane McMahon. Stephanie says that the WWE Universe is still loyal to Shane, and that without loyalty in WWE, "where would WWE be?" Ambrose then wants to know what sacrifices Stephanie has made "spreading the brand" and if Shane has made those same sacrifices, all in an attempt to see what makes Stephanie tick, but Stephanie says that it's time for change, and Stephanie responds by saying that eventually, it's time for change...and then cancels The Ambrose Asylum. She then brings back The Highlight Reel, and Chris Jericho shows up. Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho stare down, then eventually brawl. The brawl ends with Jericho hitting Ambrose with a Codebreaker before destroying Mitch the houseplant on the back of Ambrose's head.

Kalisto guests on commentary for the next match.

Rusev wins the #1 Contender's United States Championship Battle Royal, last eliminating Zack Ryder after the elimination of his former League of Nations comrades Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio.

This Friday on SmackDown: The Highlight Reel with special guest Sami Zayn!

Charlotte and Ric Flair show up. They gloat over the fact that Charlotte retain, then bring out the referee for Charlotte vs. Natalya at Payback: Charles Robinson. When asked if Natalya tapped to the Sharpshooter, Charles said yes, and that she submitted to the hold verbally. Charles then says "yes" accidentally before saying "no" when asked if he has anything to do with Natalya losing. Charles then says "yes" when asked if the referee's decision is final, and what looks like a conniving grin can be seen on Charles Robinson's face. As Charles Robinson leaves, Natalya arrives, and says that she is convinced Charles Robinson was paid off and that the Harts are better than the Flairs. Charlotte attacks Natalya, but Natalya easily overpowers her. Natalya then stares down Ric Flair before slapping him and putting him in the Sharpshooter. Charlotte has to drag Ric Flair out of the ring, and the two of them leave.

Stephanie McMahon meets up with Ric Flair and Charlotte backstage, and makes a rematch for the WWE Women's Championship between Natalya and Charlotte for Extreme Rules. Not only is the match a submission match, but Ric Flair is banned from ringside for this match.

AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson beat Roman Reigns and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). After the match, Gallows and Anderson drag Roman Reigns back into the ring with a steel chair, and want Styles to hit him with it. Styles refuses, and Anderson and Gallows attack Roman. One of The Usos takes the discarded chair and smacks Styles in the back with it, before the both of them remove Gallows and Anderson from the ring. Styles attacks both Usos with the chair, then turns around and eats a Superman Punch from Roman. Roman then takes the brawl to the outside, then breaks down an announce table and powerbombs Styles through it to end the show.

Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for April 28, 2016

Roman Reigns shows up to start tonight's show. He says he punched AJ Styles in the mouth on Raw, and at Payback, he'll do it again. He calls out AJ Styles, saying he doesn't believe him when he says that he doesn't want Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson involved. Instead, The Miz and Maryse show up. Miz tries to stir the pot, trying to prove what Roman Reigns is thinking, and says he deserves some recognition for that. In return, he gets punched in the mouth and knocked out of the ring by Roman as "recognition."

Roman Reigns officially takes on The Miz later tonight.

Renee Young interviews The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, Alberto Del Rio). They say that they proved at WrestleMania that nobody can beat them, and with King Barrett out of the picture, they're stronger than ever. Rusev says that the three of them might as well be "The United Nations."

Kalisto, Sami Zayn and Cesaro beat The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, Alberto Del Rio), who are officially no more, by count-out after Rusev and Del Rio walk out on Sheamus due to extreme arguing and miscommunication. Sheamus breaks out of the Cesaro Swing and walks to the back on his own, putting the cherry on the top of the irony sundae stemming from the earlier backstage interview.

Ambrose says Chris Jericho made a mistake in letting go of the Walls of Jericho on Monday, as he doesn't let go either. Ambrose plans to beat Jericho this Sunday at Payback. He then gets down to business and starts the show, and introduces Natalya first. Natalya says that Sunday will be different from previous weeks, as Bret "The Hit Man" Hart will be in her corner to keep an eye on Ric Flair in case he interferes. Charlotte and Ric Flair arrive. Charlotte considers Bret Hart being in the Women's Championship match "disturbing," saying she's parading Bret Hart around, but Nattie tells her to look who's talking, and that Ric's a creepy old man who's only around to help her win. Ric isn't impressed, as he's beaten Bret on multiple occasions. Natalya says she will win on Sunday and give the WWE Universe the Women's Champion they deserve.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) take over on commentary for the next match. You read this right.

The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) try to recruit Apollo Crews as their new fourth member after Curtis Axel mentions that Adam Rose is on "a half-baked, transdimensional search for a bunny" (obviously a jab on Adam Rose's second Wellness Policy violation and 60-day suspension). After the three of them come up with potential punny nicknames for Crews, Crews says he'll join...if one of them can beat him tonight. If they can't, they have to leave him alone...forever.

Dean Ambrose starts tonight's show with The Ambrose Asylum. His guest tonight is Shane McMahon, whom Ambrose credits for "giving him his big break in this talk show business." We see the footage of Shane diving off the top of the Cell for an elbow drop at WrestleMania, then Ambrose gives Shane kudos for having the guts to do it. When Ambrose asks what Shane's agenda is, Shane says it's the fans as they deserve better, and that WWE has now evolved and that this is the beginning of a new era. Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up, and says he's saying the same crap as ever: a McMahon mad with power who has a personal vendetta against him, especially after Shane tossed him out of the building last week for threatening to beat up Sami Zayn. Owens says that Sami Zayn isn't good enough to make it on his own, but Sami Zayn shows up and says he got the call-up before Owens, and that he knows it drives him crazy and caused him to throw their friendship down the drain. He says that Owens wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him, and that Owens has now made a name for stabbing his friends in the back. Chris Jericho shows up. Jericho agrees with Owens, saying that Shane is "drunk with power" and that Shane should remember that he is the best at what he does after ending The Highlight Reel.

He tells Roman he's one heck of a champion and that he has it all, but he says that having the match of his life is what he does and that it will make him champion. Roman says he feels everything AJ said, as he had the match of his life at WrestleMania and that it's the reason the WWE Universe likes AJ. Roman says he will still win at Payback, as he'd rather be respected with the title than liked with out. AJ says he'd rather have both happen, as that would make him a phenomenal champion. AJ leaves, then Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson show up and attack Roman from behind.

Backstage, AJ Styles tells Roman Reigns that he did not expect Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson to attack him, but Roman doesn't believe him because they attacked The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) last week.

Both men argue about the WWE Intercontinental Championship, then The Miz quotes Taken when he promises he will retain the Intercontinental title at Payback. When he re-does the last part twice, Cesaro shuts Miz up and says he'll be the one taking the title. After Cesaro quotes the quintessential line from "Rowdy" Roddy Piper from They Live, Miz takes that as a challenge, but tells Cesaro he has a match against Rusev, who shows up with Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio. Cesaro says he's talked with Shane McMahon, saying he knew this would happen, and says that this match is now The Miz and The League of Nations (Sheamus, Del Rio and Rusev) vs. himself and The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods).
