Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 18, 2015

Triple H shows up to start the show along with Stephanie McMahon, who makes her first appearance on Raw in a while. Stephanie says she's happy to be back, especially after Seth Rollins' victory at Payback. They pay tribute to Rollins with "Seth Rollins: Architect of a Dream." They then pull the black cloth off the table behind them to reveal the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and declare that the vacant title will be defended at Elimination Chamber in two weeks time in an Elimination Chamber Match after Stephanie makes fun of Daniel Bryan's injuries. Suddenly, Sheamus shows up, talks about how he "ended Daniel Bryan's career," says an Elimination Chamber Match isn't necessary, and demands the title be handed over to him. Ryback shows up, makes fun of Sheamus' mohawk, tells him that Daniel Bryan is more of a man than he ever will be, then challenges him to a match tonight. Stephanie McMahon puts them in the Elimination Chamber Match for the Intercontinental Championship, but Triple H feels there's a good idea in letting them fight tonight, and lets them have at it right now.

In retaliation, Kane puts Ambrose in a match against Bray Wyatt. Ambrose says "okay," then drinks Kane's wine.

Rusev is still furious, and tells Lana that all he needs is himself. He tells Lana to get out of the ring and go back to wherever she came from.

Roman Reigns returns this Thursday night on SmackDown!

John Cena shows up. After dedicating the United States title to the men and women of the American armed forces, and declaring it "our championship," Cena declares an open challenge for the title. That challenge is answered by Kevin Owens, who congratulates Cena on his victory at Payback. After harsh words are thrown on both sides, Owens pretends to back out of the open challenge and declare he'll face Cena on his own terms only to get a cheap shot on Cena and hit him with the pop-up power bomb he's known for in NXT. He then stomps on the US title, lifts up the NXT title and tells Cena he can't see him.



Rusev, R-Truth and King Barrett are in the Elimination Chamber Match for the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship along with Sheamus and Ryback.

Dolph gets a quick win against Stardust. After the match, Michael Cole interviews Ziggler, and it is revealed that Ziggler is the sixth man in the Intercontinental title match at Elimination Chamber.

Jamie Noble thanks Rollins for the privilege of working with him, and Joey Mercury almost does the same when Dean Ambrose shows up and crashes the party. Ambrose still wants that title rematch at Elimination Chamber, but Rollins won't give it to him. Stephanie tries to defuse the situation by sicking Rollins on him, and when Ambrose goes at it with Rollins, Noble and Mercury go for Ambrose as well. Ambrose fights them all off - and Kane, too - and threatens to smash Rollins' head through a set of cinderblocks with a steel chair. Triple H and Stephanie relent, and promise to give him the match if he lets Rollins go. Ambrose almost reneges, but Mercury and Noble get the chair away from him. Ambrose fights them all off again and goes after Rollins, but Rollins is able to fight off Ambrose and take him down with a Pedigree to end the show.

Bray Wyatt interrupts the introduction to tell Ryback he will make an example out of him.

Dean Ambrose shows up. He says he'd rather be alone...and he plans to stand alone at Payback with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship just like he stood alone on Raw. When he says that he has one thing to say to Roman Reigns before Sunday, Roman shows up as if on cue. Dean tells Roman he isn't getting an apology after what happens at Payback, but Roman says he isn't expecting one. He says that he and Ambrose are brothers tonight, but on Sunday, he's bringing out the big guns. As Roman extends his hand for a handshake, Ambrose is about to shake hands with him when Kane shows up, telling them they should be concerned about they'll even make it to Sunday. Dean Ambrose retorts by saying that Kane should be more concerned about whether he'll keep his position as the Director of Operations.

We see more Tough Enough videos.



Before his match, Seth Rollins says he hopes everyone enjoyed the beatdown he got at Raw, becuase it's the last time they'll see anything like that. He says that his opponents at Payback are as cutthroat as he is, and he will pick up the pieces and emerge victorious. As he is about to talk about Ryback, Ryback shows up only to be attacked by Bray Wyatt. Officials check on Ryback after this.

Ryback is willing to go on with his match against Seth Rollins.

They then look down to the floor...and at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Roman wants to shake hands, but Dean kneels down and takes the belt before handing it to Roman, saying "Don't worry...I'll take it on Sunday."

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 4, 2015

Randy Orton shows up. He promises to walk out of Payback as WWE World Heavyweight Champion and that there is nothing Seth Rollins can do about it. In comes Roman Reigns out of the crowd, and says if anyone is getting payback, it's him. As both men swap accomplishments as they brag about breaking the other man in half, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up and try to tell them to be positive, joke around and get the crowd to like them.

Rollins is furious, but Kane threatens to add a crazy stip that makes it harder than usual for Rollins to win if he utters another word. Rollins walks away.

Renee Young interviews Ryback in the ring. Ryback doesn't know why Bray Wyatt is attacking him, but he says that Bray is making a big mistake.

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.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for March 5, 2015

Dolph Ziggler shows up with the WWE Intercontinental Championship around his waist to start the show, even though the title is Bad News Barrett's and not his. Dolph Ziggler says that the title changed his life last year, and he wants that rematch against Bad News Barrett that he never got due to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon firing him. He throws his hat into the ring for the Intercontinental title ladder match at WrestleMania. However, he says that somebody is missing, somebody who says that if you put your mind to it, you can become champion. Before he can introduce that person (which is Daniel Bryan), Bad News Barrett interrupts. He tells him to either return the title, or he'll beat him up and rip it from him. Ziggler tries to dare Barrett to get in the ring when he is attacked from behind by Luke Harper. Harper and Barrett are about to play tug of war with the belt when Ziggler fights back only to fall victim to the numbers game. Dean Ambrose rushes in before they can do damage to Ziggler, and Harper and Barrett are temporarily forced to retreat. When Ambrose and Ziggler are about to fight over the title, though, Barrett and Harper get back up, and there are two separate brawls outside the ring.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 9, 2015

Roman Reigns appears to start the show. Last week, Roman Reigns kept Seth Rollins out of Fastlane. Suddenly, Daniel Bryan, the man he helped win, shows up. He thanks Reigns for last week for the opportunity, but says Reigns has an opportunity of his own at Fastlane, where the winner takes on Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31. As Daniel Bryan compares himself with Roman Reigns, The Authority (Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Kane, Big Show) shows up. Triple H wants an answer on whether or not Sting will show up at Fastlane. As for Stephanie, she takes revenge on Roman for Spearing Big Show last week and D-Bry for beating Kane in a Casket Match (in which Daniel Bryan fires back by making a reference to Triple H and the Katie Vick incident) by putting them in a tag team match against Big Show and Kane...and that match is right now.

Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan beat Kane and Big Show by disqualification. Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan fight back after the match, but Kane tricks Daniel Bryan into hitting Roman Reigns with the running drop kick. This causes Reigns and D-Bry to argue amongst each other, which plays straight into Triple H's hands. Triple H then puts Roman and D-Bry together in a handicap match later tonight. Their opponents?

Rusev and Lana say that Cena is an old man after so many years in the ring, and Rusev states that he will crush Cena at Fastlane and break his spirit. Cena shows up, tells them they're full of themselves and full of crap, and tells them he's got a lot left in the tank, and that "this old man" is going to whip Rusev's ass. Lana has to hold Rusev back. After one more verbal exchange, Rusev and Cena brawl on the ramp, which ends with Rusev poking Cena in his bad eye and putting a hurting on him.

Triple H is in the ring. He calls Sting's recent actions "cowardly" and a shot at him after 14 long years as a response to the destruction of World Championship Wrestling before calling Sting out, telling Sting that if he promises never to appear in WWE, he'll let him leave Fastlane intact. The arena goes dark and a crow can be heard. A figure shaped like Sting teleports in and out, and strange images appear on the TitanTron. Suddenly, the mysterious figure appears behind Triple H and frightens him. The TitanTron then says "I accept."

Layin' da Raw Deal - SmackDown Live! recap for January 29, 2015

Triple H shows up to start the show. He talks about the recent snowstorm, Raw emanating live from the WWE Headquarters as result, and the WWE Network achieving one million subscribers. After making fun of the New England Patriots deflated football controversy by repeatedly mentioning balls, he says that he will confront Sting at Fast Lane. He also mentions the aftermath of the Royal Rumble match, and announces that next Monday on Raw he will make a stunning announcement that will "likely shake the WWE to its core" and end the controversy.

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.

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.
