Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for March 17, 2016

Roman Reigns shows up (this time from the entrance ramp) to start tonight's show. He says what happened to Triple H is what happens when you run your mouth. He says Triple H believes in the money and the power, but he believes in the big fight, and promises to destroy Triple H at WrestleMania to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion again.



Renee Young interviews AJ Styles, who says that Chris Jericho has made this personal. Kevin Owens shows up, saying that AJ Styles sounds like Sami Zayn and that they should both get their own show were they both hold each other and cry. Styles then compares Owens to Jericho, and then we find out that Owens and Styles face each other tonight. Styles tells Owens to put his money where his mouth is.

Dolph Ziggler beats The Miz.



Earlier this week, Michael Cole interviewed Kalisto, who accepted Ryback's challenge at WrestleMania 32.

Earlier today, Dean Ambrose talked about his hometown of Cleveland before SmackDown, where everyday was WrestleMania and a hard-knock education comes easily. He plans to transfer all the knowledge he got from there to Brock Lesnar.



Bubba Ray Dudley beats Goldust after the distraction from D-Von Dudley. After the match, The Dudleys beat them up, but R-Truth shows up and fights off Bubba Ray and D-Von only to fall victim to the numbers game. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) then show up and force The Dudleys to retreat.



Charlotte shows up. Charlotte is the first to show up, and she says she wouldn't be here if it weren't for Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch, and asks them to accept her invitation. Becky Lynch is the first to show up, and it isn't long afterwards that Sasha Banks also appears. Charlotte talks about the first time she met Sasha and Becky, and how she called her dad about them. Ric Flair said they "sound like the Horsemen." She then asks for forgiveness for even thinking that Sasha and Becky were even worthy of the "Horsewomen" name. Sasha and Becky are incensed, and promise to take the Divas title from Charlotte. This leads to Sasha and Becky arguing with each other and almost getting physical, but when they both notice that Charlotte is enjoying this, they both focus on Charlotte and give her a beatdown.

Erick Rowan says Wyatt brings vengeance and sorrow to all who oppose him, and plans to bring pain and humiliation to anyone who opposes them. Braun Strowman says he will destroy anyone in his path and pile the bodies to the sky for the Eater of Worlds. Bray says that Kane and The Undertaker will never be the same as he has taken pieces of them they will never recover.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 2, 2015

During the pre-show, The Miz tries to help Cesaro by referring him to an agency that will help him from being forgotten. Not surprisingly, Cesaro then challenges him to a match, and the two men get verbally heated with each other.

Roman Reigns starts the show. He admits that Seth Rollins is good...at all the wrong things. However, Reigns thinks that Rollins' time as World Heavyweight Champion is running out, as nothing can stop him from beating Rollins. Suddenly, Rollins shows up and admits Reigns is good, too, but in the end, Reigns still lost at WrestleMania 31 and lost out on the title as Rollins took the title. He also says that Reigns will be recognized in the history books as always second-best, as well as the guy who carried hig bags. Reigns then dares Rollins to come into the ring and prove he's a real man. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up and ask if the WWE Universe want the match to be official and for the World Heavyweight Championship. They want it, and HHH and Stephanie make it so...for Survivor Series. They do, however, make a traditional five-on-five Survivor Series match between Team Rollins and Team Reigns. They tell both men to pick their allies carefully.



Tyler Breeze shows up during Dolph Ziggler vs. Kevin Owens. He and Summer Rae sit in the "VIP area" at ringside.

Kevin Owens beats Dolph Ziggler after the distraction from Tyler Breeze. After the match, Breeze poses with a downed Ziggler, who attacks Breeze only to eat a Beauty Shot. Ziggler is taken down again, and Breeze continues to pose, this time with Summer Rae.



We look back at the history of Survivor Series.

Seth Rollins meets up with Kevin Owens backstage. After teasing a champion vs. champion match at WrestleMania 32, he asks if he wants to join Team Rollins tonight. Owens says he's in for Team Rollins, but tells Rollins he owes him one.

Renee Young interviews Becky Lynch, who can't wait to get her hands on Paige tonight. Brie Bella shows up and tells Becky that she's the one who's going to take on Charlotte for the Divas Championship, and not her "wacky assistant." The two of them almost verbally come to blows.

Cesaro beats The Miz with the Sharpshooter as the Stardust Section - Stardust, Konnor and Viktor - look on from the front row.



The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) show up. He wants to give us "the rotting body of The Undertaker and the scorched body of Kane," but it's not the bodies that they wanted...it's their souls. He says a body is temporary, but the soul is forever unless it is consumed by a higher power. Bray considers himself that higher power, and he uses the souls of 'Taker and Kane to summon fire and lightning to unleash devastation. We then see an interesting video package of Kane and The Undertaker through the years, before Bray tells us to follow the buzzards.



We see a video package of The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) before the next match.



The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) beat Sheamus and King Barrett.

Jojo interviews Sasha Banks. Banks says there's no pressure to deliver, as she always delivers. She says she's The Boss around here, and she's out for the Divas Championship as she tells Charlotte to keep one eye open.

After the match, Byron Saxton interviews Paige, who calls everyone else in the match "losers," as well as anybody who roots for them. She says that Charlotte will meet the same fate at Survivor Series when she takes the Divas title again.



We look back at Survivor Series 2014, when Team Cena beat Team Authority to take Triple H and Stephanie McMahon out of power.



Renee Young interviews Charlotte, who says that she is just as unscrupulous as Paige and that she's not here just because she's Ric Flair's daughter. She says Paige will learn the hard way that she earned the Divas title the hard way at Survivor Series.



Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) have some wordplay with the word "survivor" before saying they will take Team Rollins to victory.



The members of Team Reigns are revealed: the returning Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso, the latter of whom is now back after a leg injury at WrestleMania 31), Ryback and Dean Ambrose.

Team Reigns (Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Ryback, Dean Ambrose) beat Team Rollins (Seth Rollins, Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods, Kevin Owens) by disqualification in a Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series match after Rollins hits Ambrose with a chair. After the match, Rollins hits Roman with the chair as well, but Roman Reigns hits the Superman Punch on Rollins, causing Rollins to be knocked out of the ring. Rollins retreats to end the show.

Triple H then states that Rollins has "cleaned out the WWE," and sets up a series of matches with the winners entering a Fatal Four-Way match to decide the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship tonight, and the winner will get to take on Seth Rollins.

Rusev and Summer Rae start the show. Rusev says that he's here to talk about Lana, not the USA. He tells Lana that she just can't stand to see him happy with Summer, can't move on with her life and has to come out every week to embarrass them. He tells Lana that Summer can't accept Summer makes him happy, and that Summer can make her miserable. Rusev then says that his flag from Raw will soon replace the American flag, and says that Lana laid down like a cold fish after Summer put her in the Accolade. He then states that Summer has already done for him more than she ever did and showed what it is like to be with a real woman. Rusev then says that Lana lied to, backstabbed and left him. Rusev then starts speaking in Bulgarian when Fandango shows up. Fandango asks Rusev if he is going to run down the woman who broke his heart while standing under a ridiculous ugly picture of yourself. Fandango then says he smells insecurity, and asks Summer "What happened to you?" Rusev tells Fandango not to talk about Summer like that, but Fandango tells Rusev he can't silence the art of dance.

Rusev beats Fandango with the Accolade.

Stardust says his fantasy comes to fruition. Two arrows, one green and one red. It is written in the stars. It is a future fit for a king. Speaking of a king, King Barrett says they don’t need the stars to see the future here, saying a pint sized superhero named Neville and pampered Hollywood actor turned wannabe tough guy named Stephen Amell against the Prince of Dark Matter and the King of the Ring, and that he's got some bad news for anyone expecting a Hollywood ending. Stardust says that heroes are no match for them. Wade says that the arrows can wait because they are taking on R-Truth and Mark Henry, and when they are done, everyone will all hail King Barrett. Stardust snarls.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 10, 2015

Seth Rollins shows up to welcome us all to "Monday Night Rollins" to start the show. He makes fun of John Cena, then makes a reference to the "Straight Outta" meme that has hit the Internet recently by saying that Cena is "straight outta action." He says that if Cena wants to forfeit the WWE United States Championship to him, he can, so he can hold the United States and World Heavyweight titles at the same time. He also makes fun of John Cena's appearance on Tough Enough tomorrow night, saying Cena isn't tough enough to take him on. He then finds out from ring crew that John Cena is here tonight...via satellite. Cena's face, complete with broken nose, shows up on the TitanTron. However, it's all a trick, as Seth Rollins' mouth is on top of Cena's and it is Rollins' voice that makes fun of Cena and makes him look like a weakling. As Rollins talks to "Cena," Cesaro shows up and interrupts Rollins and challenges him to a match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. As Rollins asks Cesaro what he's done to deserve a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, Kevin Owens shows up and says Cesaro has done nothing, makes fun of the "Cesaro Section" signs, and says that he himself has beaten John Cena while Rollins has tapped out to him. Shortly afterwards, Randy Orton shows up and says he's deserving of a World Heavyweight title shot as well. Rollins tells all three of them they're getting nothing, says they're all deaf and dumb, and tells them to get out of his ring. Triple H shows up after this, and says Cena's status for SummerSlam is 50/50. He makes a Triple Threat Match for tonight - Owens vs. Cesaro vs. Orton - and the winner gets a shot at Rollins and the World Heavyweight Championship.

It's time for Miz TV. Miz introduces Stephen Amell to the crowd, and tells him to call him when Stardust gets done with him so he can teach him how to act. He then introduces tonight's guest: Daniel Bryan. After some clowning around, Miz wants to talk about how he made Daniel Bryan, but D-Bry tells him not to take credit for making him, as he did all this himself. Miz also talks about D-Bry being on the shelf, and D-Bry mentions his recently released autobiography and his role on Tough Enough. Miz then asks D-Bry if Big Show should retire. Big Show shows up and says tells the WWE Universe that if they want him retired, they'd better find somebody who will retire him. All of a sudden, Ryback's music hits...and Ryback has officially returned. Ryback and Big Show stare down, and Daniel Bryan tosses Miz in-between them. All three men go at it, but Ryback easily puts Show and Miz away. Ryback then fells Miz once and for all with a Meat Hook.



Lana guests on commentary for the next match. She says that Dolph Ziggler is quickly getting better and will be back after SummerSlam.

The show starts with a tribute to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Everyone wears a black "Hot Rod" shirt as everyone stands at the ramp as the ring bell tolls ten times. WWE then pays tribute to Piper via video package.



Seth Rollins shows up. He says that Seth Rollins is the only man who can slow him down, and says that he is too sympathetic for his own good, citing when he broke Cena's nose last week as a perfect example of that. He says he will never lose a match in the fashion that he lost against Cena last week ever again. He then makes a proposition to Cena: they go at it again with both titles on the line at SummerSlam. He then brags about this being the site of himself winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship as well as John Cena's first ever United States Open Challenge, and decides to make an open challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship...right now.

Seth Rollins tells Jojo his World Heavyweight Championship open challenge is legit, with only two caveats decided by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon: his opponent must be under 6 feet tall and under 200 pounds. So Jojo asks if his opponent is El Torito, and Rollins jokingly says yes. El Torito's music hits, but Torito does not appear. Instead, Rollins' opponent is none other than Neville.

Miz tells Ryback to vacate the WWE Intercontinental Championship and says it should go to him if Ryback can't fight for it. He then introduces Kevin Owens, who tells Miz he's a big fan of his. As for Cesaro, Owens thinks he's jealous of him, then Cesaro shows up as if on cue. Cesaro says he's just here for a front row seat to hear what "Walk Owens Walk" has to say. Owens says Cesaro is jealous of him as he has succeeded where Cesaro has failed, and says Cesaro will never match up to him. Cesaro says he's not jealous; instead, he's ashamed and embarassed of him for being such a coward. Owens responds by saying he's done more in WWE in three months than Cesaro has in three years, and if he wants to go, let's go. Miz gets excited, and both Owens and Cesaro tell him to shut up. Owens then says that tonight isn't the night for this, and Cesaro responds by telling Owens to "Walk Owens Walk."

After both men sign, Rollins reaches under the table but is caught out by Paul Heyman. Lesnar topples the table and pulls out the axe handle that was inside, then lays it on the table and dares Rollins to grab it. He does, but Lesnar tosses the table into Rollins and attacks Kane. Kane and Rollins get the upper hand on Lesnar for a while, but Lesnar strike back and hits Kane with an F5, causing Rollins to retreat. Lesnar then slams one of the steel steps on Kane's leg, which is on top of another set of steel steps, breaking it.

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.
