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.

The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, Alberto Del Rio) get into a huge pushing and shoving match before Sheamus declares The League is finished.

Baron Corbin beats Damien Sandow.

Renee Young interviews AJ Styles, who says he doesn't care what Roman Reigns thinks of him and doesn't answer to him. He plans to be at ringside for Roman Reigns vs. The Miz.

It's time for The Ambrose Asylum with Dean Ambrose. Tonight's guests are Charlotte and Natalya. 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.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 11, 2016

The pre-show begins with a stunning announcement: due to overwhelming demand, Shane McMahon will be running Raw for a second straight week.

Tonight's episode is in memory of Robert Windham, better known as "Blackjack Mulligan."

Shane McMahon starts tonight's show. He says that Vince may have been amused by him running Raw last week, but here he is again. He announces Natalya vs. Charlotte for the WWE Women's Championship as well as a tag team tournament where the winners take on The New Day. AJ Styles takes on Roman Reings for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but first he has to face Sami Zayn...and if Sami Zayn wins, the world title match at Payback will become a triple threat match. Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up and says that Sami Zayn doesn't deserve a world title shot and that he's tired of being screwed over. Shane calls Owens out on everything as Owens keeps insisting that he was robbed, and that he still hasn't gotten his rematch for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Shane gives him a shot at the title, but he has to beat one man tonight: Cesaro.

Cesaro beats Kevin Owens to earn a shot at the WWE Intercontinental Championship after reversing two pop-up power bomb attempts and repeated focus on his injured shoulder from Owens.

Charlotte is still irritated that the entire women's division ruined her moment last week, and that Natalya has earned a shot at the WWE Women's Championship. Suddenly, Dr. Phil shows up and congratulates Charlotte, but says that Ric Flair is holding her back from being who she really is due to his constant interference and tells her to quit cheating. He also "wooos" Ric Flair before Flair can "wooo" at him.

Kevin Owens tells Shane McMahon he's been screwed again, this time by Cesaro, and that whatever happens to Sami Zayn tonight will be on him. Shane kicks Owens out of the arena as a result.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up. They say that the tag team division is on fire, and they all want the tag team titles. We see the tournament bracket (which is New Day themed), and the first match of the tournament is about to begin.

The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) beat The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) to continue on to the semi-finals of the tag team tournament. Before we get to the match from commercial break, D-Von seriously hurts Kalisto with a nasty clothesline, and Kalisto is down for the rest of the match. After the match, Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady show up and tell The Dudley Boyz to step aside after Bubba Ray and D-Von tell them they're only in WWE because of teams like them.

Kevin Owens is escorted out by security.

Roman Reigns shows up. Roman talks about his world title match at Payback. As he says that he plans to keep the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for a long time, The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, Alberto Del Rio). Sheamus says he's not so tough, but Roman isn't shaken. After talking about kicking King Barrett out of the League, they say they're missing out on some world title action, and as each man makes their case, Roman isn't convinced and tells them all to get in the ring so he can beat them up. Suddenly, The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) shows up and fight alongside Roman Reigns before focusing on him. Shane McMahon shows up and puts them on the same team tonight, as Roman and Bray take on two members of The League of Nations tonight for the main event.

Dr. Phil shows up for the next match.

Natalya beats Charlotte with the Sharpshooter...by disqualification after Ric Flair tries to interfere. Charlotte retains the WWE Women's Championship, then Natalya chases her out of the ring.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater and Curtis Axel) to continue to the semi-finals of the tag team tournament. As The Usos fight off The Social Outcasts, they are attacked by a surprise tag team: Luke Gallows (aka Doc Gallows) and Karl Anderson.

Maryse yells at a backstage assistant over blue M&M's and plain bottled water before Jojo comes in for an interview. As he says that he is Cesaro's kryptonite, Cesaro shows up and says he will take his leading role at Payback.

AJ Styles beats Sami Zayn.

Seth Green is in the audience tonight.

AJ Styles and Sami Zayn are talking in the back when Shane McMahon congratulates them on a match well fought. Both men shake hands after the match.

Chris Jericho shows up for a surprise Highlight Reel. Tonight's special guest on "the biggest Highlight Reel in history" is himself. He owes his success to himself as he gives the audience "the gift of Jericho." He gushes over his career accomplishment and says that nobody can touch him until Dean Ambrose makes his first appearance since WrestleMania with a potted plant and a sign. He takes over The Highlight Reel, canceling it and replacing it with The Ambrose Asylum, with Jericho as the first guest. Jericho tells him to get out of the ring, then knocks the microphone out of Ambrose's hand. Ambrose hits Jericho with Dirty Deeds.

The Golden Truth (R-Truth and Goldust) take on The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch), while Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady take on The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor). Both matches round out Round 1 of the tag team tournament, and both are happening this Thursday night on SmackDown.

Goldust and R-Truth meet in the locker room. Goldust expected an audition, and finds out that the audition is the tag team tournament. He then wants to know who made them a tag team in the tournament. Dr. Phil is in the room and wants to say something, but he's a loss for words.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 7, 2016

Shane McMahon starts tonight's show. He recaps what happened last week, and says he's lost a respect for his father Vince after he disowned him, and calls him "an egomaniacal, miserable old bastard" who has seriously lost touch. He then says it is his destiny to own Raw and beat The Undertaker, saying that Vince's tyrannical grasp as well as that of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon must stop, and that there are more talent that are more deserving of a push that need it. We hear the gong of 'Taker's theme, followed by Vince's theme. Vince shows up, and the crowd calls him an asshole before chanting for CM Punk. Vince says there is fear in Shane's eyes, and that he will feel that fear at WrestleMania 32. After saying that Stephanie McMahon will get everything now that Shane is out of the will, Vince then talks about the night Shane went to his very first WWE event. We see a picture of father of son from way back when, then Vince takes a picture frame with said photo in it and smashes it with his foot. Vince also says that Shane's children will see him fail against The Undertaker, as a family's dreams will be shattered as 'Taker puts an end to what Vince calls "his greatest failure." Vince then sics security on Shane, and tell them to escort Shane out of the building. Shane says he'll leave peacefully as long as nobody touches him, as he says he's pretty amped up tonight. One guy gets close and tries to put a hand on them, and he gets kneed in the face. The other security guards get in the ring, but they all get beat down, too. Shane stands tall, and Vince is astounded.

Kevin Owens beat Neville with a roll-up. After the match, Owens continues to attack Neville, but that attack is cut short by the surprise appearance of Sami Zayn, who goes straight for Owens and gives him a brawl he'll never forget.

Dolph Ziggler is talking with Zack Ryder when Stephanie McMahon shows up. After talk about Shane McMahon - and a tweet that he was forced to delete due to it being "disaparaging to The Authority," Stephanie puts Dolph Ziggler in an elimination handicap match against three members of The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, King Barrett, Alberto Del Rio).

Summer Rae beats Brie Bella with a roll-up after Lana shows up and distracts Brie. After the match, Lana hits Brie Bella with a Bella Buster.

Dean Ambrose shows up. He loves that he's thrown a wrench in the works on the Road to WrestleMania, and says he's hijacking the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and WrestleMania 32, and says Triple H will respect him after Roadblock. He says that he and Triple H will be doing stuff for the community together, and says Triple H will make him a suit only to realise he's not a suit guy. As soon as he says he'll be a fighting champion, Triple H shows up. He says the World Heavyweight Championship will be around his waist as long as he allows it to be. Dean Ambrose tells Triple H to suck it, but Triple H says "Roadblock" is just a name from marketing and that Ambrose is a speed bump or pothole at best. He also says Ambrose has the same problem with authority as Roman Reigns. After more insults tossed back and forth, Ambrose dares Triple H to get in the ring. Triple H says he'll do it only on his time, then puts Ambrose in a match later tonight against Bray Wyatt to teach him a lesson that "The Authority always wins."

The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, King Barrett) beat Dolph Ziggler in a 3-on-1 elimination match.

We see a video package of Shane McMahon's history in the WWE.

R-Truth passes by Mark Henry on his way to give Goldust a Chicago deep dish pizza. Goldust doesn't know what's up, until Truth mentions the Golden Truth idea. Goldust then says a true partner would know that he is lactose intolerant, and if he took one bite, his butt would explode. Goldust puts the pizza down and walks away, and as R-Truth says he didn't know about Goldust's exploding butt, Mark Henry takes the pizza all for himself.

Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) says that Y2AJ (Chris Jericho and AJ Styles) will never make it, and that they are a real team.

Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt ends with the arrival of the rest of The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman). The four of them then destroy Ambrose. Triple H then shows up, loosens his tie and gets in the ring. Bray Wyatt stares Triple H down, however, and Triple H returns the favor by staring down Wyatt, who then laughs, looks at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and touches it, then backs away with his Family. Triple H then deconstructs the commentary table, but when he gets back in the ring, Ambrose hits Triple H with Dirty Deeds. He then picks up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and looks at it as he stares down Triple H from the corner.

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

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 29, 2016

Triple H makes his appearance to start tonight's show. Triple H says only few have it, and the rest bow down to it. That "it" is authority, and he plays to the people's fear to being destroyed by authority in order to know their place in life. He says that Roman should have known his place, as challenging and disrespecting him has led him to sitting at home breathing through his mouth. All of a sudden, Dean Ambrose shows up. He says he just got off the phone with Roman Reigns, and says that Roman told him he's coming for Triple H. Ambrose said he wanted to talk to him Triple H last week, but all the craziness from last week put a stop to that. Ambrose wants to know who Triple H wanted to see - or not see - win the Triple Threat match at Fastlane. Triple H says he didn't see Ambrose winning, but Ambrose asks if Triple H can see him now. Triple H is convinced Ambrose is legitimately crazy, and that Triple H is smart enough not to get in the ring with someone like him because - according to Ambrose - Triple H doesn't think he can beat him. Ambrose then challenges Triple H to a match tonight for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Triple H says he's the authority figure around here, but he says he'll think about it and give him an answer by the end of the night. Ambrose says he has other things to do, and Triple H says he's right, because Ambrose is going up against Alberto Del Rio tonight in an attempt to teach him what authority is.

Charlotte watches from ringside for the next match.

The Miz quickly beats Dolph Ziggler.

Stephanie McMahon shows up to accept the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award as she intended to last week. She says that Shane McMahon isn't here tonight, and won't be after The Undertaker beats him at WrestleMania 32. She then tries to recite her speech for the award, but everyone keeps booing her and chanting for Shane. Stephanie McMahon finally snaps on the WWE Universe, ticked off with Shane for his actions last week and calling him a regular backstabber. She says it eats Shane alive that she wields power and that she's married to Triple H, and that the thought of working for Shane makes her want to vomit. She hopes that The Undertaker will decimate Shane and force everyone to bow down to her and Triple H.

He loves Shane enough to teach him a lesson he'll never, ever forget, and introduces his "implement of destruction," The Undertaker. 'Taker shows up. He puts his hand on Vince's neck and tells him "You know what will happen when the door shuts behind me at WrestleMania...but the blood of your son is gonna be on your hands, not mine."
