The Code of Honor- Ring of Honor Wrestling Recap + Review for January 31, 2015

The House of Truth (Truth Martini, J. Diesel and Jay Lethal) are upset that Lethal has to defend the ROH TV title against two men he;s already defeated. A.C.H. is one of those men, but he plans to take the title from Jay Lethal tonight!

Veda Scott guest on commentary for the first match of the night.

Moose defeated The Romantic Touch.

The Decade (Jimmy Jacobs, B.J. Whitmer and Adam Page) is in the ring. Jimmy Jacobs says that he is proud of the house he has built, but he doesn't understand how people can cheer for the likes of Alberto El Patron waltzing into Ring of Honor, Kevin Steen "walking" out and A.J. Styles coming and going as he pleases. Jimmy says that while Roderick Strong is trying to get back to the top of ROH, he and The Decade are going to look out for everybody else. Jimmy gives three wrestlers an opportunity to showcase their skills, but B.J. Whitmer grabs the mic and proposes a much better idea - FOUR guys should have an opportunity, and he brings in Chris LeRusso to fill in the void.

Chris LeRusso and The Decade (Jimmy Jacobs & Adam Page) defeated three talents that train in the ROH Dojo (their names were barely acknowledged). After the match, B.J. Whitmer attacks LeRusso and puts him in the Strong Hold, which is one of Roderick Strong's signature maneuvers.

Jay Lethal will defend the ROH World TV Title against Alberto El Patron (even if Lethal is not the champion by ROH's 13th Anniversary, he will still face Alberto).

Caprice Coleman guest on commentary for the next match.

Ashley Sixx defeated Dalton Castle to advance to the semi-finals of the Top Prospect Tournament. During the match, the two mysterious guys with orange masks who've appeared in vignettes for the past several weeks stood in the audience.

Adam Cole makes an appearance in ROH for the first time since Final Battle... with an broken arm. He looks in disdain, and walks around ringside for a steel chair, has a brief staredown with Kevin Kelly and Steve Corino before sitting in the ring. He holds the mic to his mouth as if he was going to talk, but he drops the mic, flips the audience off, and leaves...

Jay Lethal retains the ROH World Television Championship against "Reborn" Matt Sydal and A.C.H. in a three-way dance. Lethal and Martini attack A.C.H. until Alberto El Patron makes the save.

Review

MVP comes out, and he says that the title does not belong to Lashley, but it belongs to the Beat Down Clan. He's also tired of Roode supposdly "whining" about the World Championship.

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. After this, Roman Reigns shows up. He says he won the Royal Rumble match, and that Triple H saw it. Triple H says he knows that he did, then tells him "Let's see if you can win this one." Big Show then comes down the ramp.

Roman Reigns beats Big Show.

Vince McMahon announces that the WWE Network will be free for all of February for new subscribers.

Seth Rollins shows up with J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble). He may not have won at Royal Rumble, but he broke Brock Lesnar's rib and he still has the Money In The Bank briefcase. He's in a good enough mood to issue an open challenge to anybody in the back, which is almost immediately answered by Ryback. Ryback is immediately jumped by both Rollins and J&J Security. Erick Rowan and Dolph Ziggler try to make the save, but they fare no better. Ryback almost hits Shell Shocked on Rollins, but Rollins is able to retreat with the assistance of J&J Security.

Kane tells Daniel Bryan that their feud will not have a happy ending tonight, and describes what he promises will be D-Bry's fate in their Casket Match tonight.

Tyson Kidd beats Jey Uso.

Rusev is in the ring. He feels cheated after the Royal Rumble match. Both Lana and Rusev are now yelling in Russian, and Rusev says he should be the one facing Brock Lesnar. He then says John Cena has no hunger or desire like he does. As he continues to trash talk Cena, Cena shows up and tells him to shut his mouth, and that he made a big mistake saying he had no hunger or desire before telling him to either put up or shut up. Lana and Rusev retreat after Lana tells Rusev not to waste his time on Cena, but Cena tells them he's not a waste of time and that he'll see him at Fast Lane.

Underground Sound: Lucha Underground Recap + Review for January 28, 2015

The show starts with Cage pumping up weights in the back area. Dario Cueto shows up during his training session and wishes him luck against Prince Puma. Cage says that he will win it... because he's a machine.

Fenix defeated Mil Muertes with a surprise roll-up, handing Mil Muertes he second pinfall loss since debuting in Lucha Underground.

Cage will take on Prince Puma later tonight!

It's time for the Ringside View with color commentator Vampiro, who is with Prince Puma and , Konnan. He asks Prince Puma how he feels after the blindside attack from Cage last week. Konnan interrupts, saying the Puma is pissed. He believes that Puma is going to put Cage in the hospital. Vampiro gets tired of Konnan intervening for Puma and stealing Prince Puma's shine. Konnan does not take a liking to this, and says that if Vampiro gets in his business again, he's gonna get some, too which provoked Vampiro and Konnan to go face-to-face.

Prince Puma vs. Cage for the Lucha Underground Championship ends when Cage pushes the referee. After the match, Cage destroys Puma. Konnan comes in and hits Cage with his cane, but wounds up getting demolished, too (and has a busted skull... blood everywhere!).

Dario Cueto is peaking at the main event from his office when the mysterious chick that has been sitting in the audience for the past couple of weeks appears out of nowhere. Cueto has no idea who she is, but she is looking for a man... who goes by "Matanza". Cueto, who is confused about her motives, still does not know who she is talking about, and she disappears quickly from the office.

 

Here are highlights from tonight's show!

Review

Sup, everyone and welcome to the January 28, 2015 edition of the Lucha Underground Recap! Tonight's was very refreshing, since all that crazy riff raft with WWE earlier this week, it was a pleasure to just sit back and enjoy an hour of great wrestling and storytelling. Tonight's topics I'll be covering are: Cage's destruction, feud re-ignition(?), and the Conquest for "Matanza". Without further ado, lets get started.

Cage's Destruction!

Man, in just three weeks of being in Lucha Underground, Cage has proved himself to be one of the most dominant forces in the company. Just think about it: won an impressive debut in a Fatal Four-Way match, blindsided Puma after his first title defense against Fenix, and now tonight he challenged the champ for his title. However, if you paid attention to the match, you could tell that it was not Cage's intentions to win the title... but to destroy Puma. Of course, being the top dog in a company, you're going to have a tremendous target on your back, but Puma's been the main target long before he even won the Lucha Underground title - which means that Cueto's looking to do anything in his power to rid himself of Puma (and any other Luchador(a)s that he chooses as well). Lets not forget about that brutal attack the Konnan as well. Earlier tonight, Konnan said in an heated interview with Vampiro that Cage was gonna wound up in the hospital. Ain't it funny how things turn around? Now, HE'S the one who is being sent to the hospital!

Feud Re-Ignition?

With the ending of "Cage's Destruction" bring me to my next topic for tonight's show. I looked up Vampiro's career and found out that he and Konnan actually had a real-life feud back in 2005, when the two were big wrestling stars in Mexico. Apparently, Konnan did not like how Vampiro came and "took his spotlight" and how he was granted a part in a Mexican novela (soap opera). Vampiro did not receive the part, due to his lack of fluency in Spanish. To be honest, I think it is cool how things are coming full circle after ten years. I personally would like to see these two go at it, but after all the things that their bodies have endured over the years (both have nearly 30 years of experience), I do not think that an actual physical will take place, unfortunately. But, that doesn't mean that we can't see a face-to-face confrontation, right?

The "Conquest for Matanza"

The word Matanza means "slaughtering" or "killing", so when Angela Fong (the mysterious chick who's been checking out numerous matches in the audience for a few weeks) mentioned this "Matanza" to Dario Cueto, of course he was going to say "I don't know." I feel that there is someone behind this, and we will only get more clues in the coming weeks. Also, I wonder what Angela Fong's roles will be in Lucha Underground. Will she be in action? Will she be a valet? Whatever the case, I'm excited to see her on TV again. Back to Matanza, she described him as a man, which was the only description that she gave, which means that the Matanza can be any Luchador (or Luchadora) on the roster! We do not know who she's talking about, but let me tell ya, I'm cooking up a few suspects right now.

That's it for this week's review folks and as I say keep on flyin'! LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!

Gonna be honest with ya folks. Did not tune in to this episode of RAW, because it was basically going to be full of stuff I know was going to happen. Instead, I engulfed myself  into free Indy wrestling streams such as: FWE's ReFueled Night 2, Smash Wrestling's Challenge Accepted, and CHIKARA streams as well.

Review:

Sup, everyone and welcome to the January 24, 2015 edition of the Ring of Honor Wrestling review. First off, let me just apologize for not review ROH last week. That was a total bummer on my part. Now, the key things I am going to shine some light on in this review are: a shocking debut, continuation of the Top Prospect Tournament, and Alberto El Patron's in-ring debut. Without further ado, lets get down to it!

A Shocking Debut...

This episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling started off with a bang when long-time rivals The Briscoes and The Kingdom faced off in tag team action. The Briscoes scored the DQ win when The Kingdom just blatantly attacked one of the bros with the "Title of Love". The highlight of the whole entire melee is when freaking ODB made her debut in Ring of Honor, with her eyes set on the self-proclaimed Queen, Maria Kanellis-Bennett. To take you guys back a couple years, Maria entered a rivalry with perhaps one of the best female wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots: Sara Del Rey. Unfortunately, their rivalry was suddenly put to a halt when Del Rey signed a contract with the WWE as the female trainer for WWE's developmental territory, NXT. Now, it seems that history is sort of repeating itself, and hopefully, we can get some length into this newly created female rivalry and hopefully we can  see a one-on-one encounter between these two ladies? Either way, I'm all for ODB in ROH, and as she says, she is One. Dirty. Briscoe.

Continuation of the Top Prospect Tournament!

Round one of the Top Prospect Tournament continues with young gun Mikey Webb taking on the 12-year veteran (and the man with insanely low levels of hygienics, so it seems) The Beer City Bruiser! Needless to say, this match was a hard-hitting one, especially with The BCB dominating a great portion of the match (it took Webb most of the match to knock the 300-pounder of his feet). Webb was able to get some offense in, but the Bruiser was almost always there to stop his momentum... yikes! The Beer City Bruiser gains the victory to advance to the semi-finals. I don't know about guys, but this guy is definitely one of my favorites to win the tournament... all bad hygiene aside.

Alberto El Patron's in-ring debut!

FINALLY! Alberto El Paaaaaaaaatron makes his highly-anticipated debut against one of the founding fathers of Ring of Honor, Christopher Daniels. Man, this match was a classic! El Patron has not missed a beat and to be perfectly honest, ROH may just be the company that can bring out the absolute best in him. I did not thikin for one second that the main event would be as incredible as it was. A definite five star match, indeed. But, the 800-pound Gorilla in the ring was the fact that the Television Champion Jay Lethal was on commentary during the match and demanded an apology for the way Alberto so-called "disrespected" him last week. El Patron won the match with his signature armbar and afterwards, he and Lethal face off in the ring once again, this time El Patron handing him a taste of his own medicine by attacking him. Lethal's H.OT. stablemates  J. Diesel and Truth Martini come down to the ring to take out El Patron but The Addiction send them running for the hills!

I must say, I am interested to see where this feud goes. I'm more than positive that these two will face off one-on-one in the ring, and when it happens, it will definitely be a match to watch!

Well, that's it for this week, folks. I'll be back next week with another ROH review. HONOR LIVES!

Kenny King vs. Lashley ends when The Beat Down Clan (MVP, Samoa Joe, Low Ki) attack Lashley.

EC3 then spits on Spud, and Spud fights EC3 only to be attacked by Tyrus. All of a sudden, British Boot Camp Season 2 winner Mark Andrews shows up, and together with Spud, they take down both EC3 and Tyrus.

Matt Hardy reverses the Eye of the Storm into an Inside Cradle to beat "The Cowboy" James Storm. After the match, Storm wants to shake his hand, but Hardy tells him to shove it. Abyss shows up and attacks Hardy from behind so Storm can hit the Last Call Super Kick. Abyss then reaches underneath the ring and pulls out Janice, but Jeff Hardy shows up with a steel chair and takes down Abyss. Jeff Hardy then suddenly challenges Abyss to a Monster's Ball match next week.

MVP is still waiting. He tells Samoa Joe that he's got Lashley.

The Feast or Fired briefcases are opened. Rockstar Spud gets the X Division title shot, and Magnus gets the Tag Team title shot.

After the break, Robbie E remembers that Velvet Sky got his briefcase for him, and makes her open it. She gets fired, and Austin Aries gets a World Heavyweight title shot.

My Predictions for Royal Rumble 2015

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods)

vs.

Cesaro, Tyson Kidd and Adam Rose

Despite such a brief rivalry, things are getting heated between these two teams and things will only get more... positive?

Winner: The New Day will probably win this one.

The Royal Rumble

30 men. Only 1 will be left standing The winner gets a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the biggest stage of them all: Wrestlemania. Who will win it all?!

Winner: Daniel Bryan, all the way!

Triple Threat Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship:

Brock Lesnar (c) vs. John Cena vs. Seth Rollins

What was originally a singles match for the WWE World Heavyweight title between Cena and Lesnar became a Triple Threat match after Triple H decided to reward Seth Rollins for manipulating Cena into bringing him and Stephanie McMahon back into power. Rollins still has the Money In The Bank Briefcase, and even if Rollins still doesn't win the match, he can still cash in and possibly win the title.

Winner: As much as I hate to say this, I see Cena picking up the title for an eleventh time (UGH.). However, I can't help but seeing Seth Rollins trying to cash in. I mean, why wouldn;t he at this point?

WWE Tag Team Championship:

The Usos (c) vs. The Miz & Damien Mizdow vs. Gold & Stardust

With Naomi out of the picture and a second tag team title reign under their belts, things seem to be flying high for The Usos, while The Miz & Damien Mizdow are having some issue coexisting as unit. Goldust and Stardust, well... maybe they're still obsessing over the Cosmic Key?

Winner: The Usos  retain!

Paige and Natalya vs The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella)

Despite tension between these two on Total Divas, two of the top Divas in the division Paige and Natalya have been able to be an cohesive unit. The Bellas, however, are not impressed and look to take down who they call "The Crazy Cat Lady" and "Vampire" (or as Paige says, Glampire).

Winner: The Bellas by a straw,

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn)

vs. The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor)

For weeks, The Ascension have been gloating about how they are the greatest tag team to ever lace up a pair of boot. Now, they have to get in the ring with one of the most popular tag teams in WWE history. YIKES!

Winner: I'm sure that The Ascension will pull out a win

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground Recap for January 21, 2015

Cisco & (Mr.) Cortez Castro defeated Pimpinela Escalarta & Mascarita Sagrada. During the match, Big Ryck watched the match from the steps.

After the match, Big Ryck grabs the mic says that no matter the friends or the enemies, that he will make it to the top. Los Demonios (Cisco, Bael, and Cortez Castro) did not take this too well, and they dropped the bomb by attacking Big Ryck. Castro capitalized on the attack by smashing Big Ryck with a kendo stick. The trio left the temple an headed straight for Dario Cueto's office.

Dario Cueto is amazed by the scheme work of Los Demonios (Bael, Cortez Castro, and Cisco) and hands each of them a chunk of money and Dario says that he has much more plans for taking out Big Ryck, and the trio replies with a resounding, "Yes, sir."

Color commentator Vampiro interviews Cage. Cage says that he is not here to make friends, but to be the best. Vampiro points out the attack that Cage did on Lucha Underground Champion Prince Puma, and wonders if Cage is willing to take on Puma one-on-one for the title. Cage dismisses the wonder and says that when you're in the ring with him, you're in the ring with a machine. Vampiro then calls him a future Lucha Underground Champion. Future champ, indeed,

Pentagon, Jr. defeated Super Fly with the packaged piledriver. After the match, Pentagon grabs the mic and says that he thought of Chavo Guerrero as a legend and criticizes him for betraying his at Aztec Warefare, but that he will get his revenge ans that he has... NO FEAR!

Sexy Star defeated El Mariachi Loco with the small package.

King Cuerno defeated Drago in a Last Luchador Standing Match when Drago cannot beat the ten down, due to being tied down to the ringpost by Cuerno.

REVIEW!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to the January 21st, 2015 edition of my Lucha Underground Review. Main topics of the show I'm going to be touching on tonight is: Cage's future, Pentagon's ascension, the ultimate betrayal and the end of a saga... or is it? Without further ado, lets get down to it! 

Cage's Future!

Cage appeared on a segment with color commentator Vampiro interviewing him. Since Cage has attacked Prince Puma from behind after his first title defense against Fenix last week, Cage looks to put himself in the title picture... quickly. However, he's only had one match - which was rather impressive, but I do not think that this push should be too quick. I feel that he should continue to dominate in matches and work his way up the food chain, and maybe building up a feud with Prince Puma along the way. Ya see, I'm a fan that likes a build-up, a chronological order of what happens in a storyline before it leads up to the grand finale. In this case, I definitely see Cage being promoted as this destructive machine, but lets not put him in the title picture just yet. Give him some time to get a reaction from the fans, and most definitely give more ring time. These two things can only hep him for his futur in Lucha Underground.

Pentagon's Ascension!

NO FEAR! After being stabbed in the back by Chavo Guerrero with a steel chair, Pentagon, Jr. now realizes that if he wants to get to the top, then he's gonna have to do it alone. I am very high on this guy right now, and for many reasons. He has tremendous in-ring ability, charisma that matches up with his dark and badass persona, and all Spanish aside, this guy has great mic skills. His match against Super Fly tonight was nothing short of impressive, with his mixture of luche libre with the hard-hitting Puroresu style, and on a side not: THOSE CHOPS WERE INSANE. Man, this guy truly has it all in my book, and I would not mind seeing him taking on Chavo Guerrero one-on-one. Hell, he may very well be a top contender for the Lucha Underground Championship. Can't wait to see how far he can go Lucha Underground.

The Ultimate Betrayal!

In the beginning of the show, Los Demonios, which consists of Bael, Cortez Castro and Cisco betray their now-former stablemate Big Ryck by attacking him in the middle of the ring and then headed for Dario Cueto's office, and then Cueto awards the trio with chunks of money. What does Cueto have up his sleeve now? What is the motive behind this attack? What does he have against Big Ryck? Is this just the beginning of a big change to come for Lucha Underground?  So many questions, but very little answers about this new story. Either way, I'm ready to see what Big Ryck has to say about this next week, that's IF he comes back next week...

The End of a Saga... or is it?

Tonight's main event was a Last Luchador Standing Match between arch rivals Drago and King Cuerno. This match was the same in greatness if not better than there encounter last week, which led to a no contest. I am a mark for both of these men, because of the in-ring psychology between the two. You guys may not see it, but I sure do! I mean, how can two guys pull off back-to-back great matches without one knowing what the other's going to do, Cuerno's craftiness gotten the better of Drago tonight, when Drago was tied down to the ringpost, which prevented him from standing. I feel that this rivalry isn't over, and that it is going to continue, especially after the way the main event ended tonight. Oh, for sure, Drago's going to avenge this defeat.

Well, that's it! Until next week, keep on flyin'! LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!

Gettin' RAW: Monday Night 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 defeated Daniel Bryan, thanks to an interference by Kane. After the match, Kane attacks D-Bry.

Triple H takes a phone call before Kevin Nash and Scott Hall walk in, and they reminisce about old times and Nash asks him to run around with them tonight. Shawn Michaels walks in and says he should actually get on the Legends Panel tonight, then Damien X-Pac-dow comes in and does a bunch of crotch chops. The real X-Pac walks in and has a little fun with it, and they mime each other until The Miz says Sandow is his stunt double, no one else’s. Nash and everyone laugh and he says he can’t believe this is the show HHH runs, and HHH holds his forehead and chuckles along.

Byron Saxton welcomes everyone to the Royal Rumble Legends panel, and panelists Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels enter the ring. HBK and Hulk say John Cena should get to win the three fired Superstars’ jobs back, but Flair says no. They talk about Flair winning the 1992 Royal Rumble and how great it was, then Saxton asks HBK and Hulk about their Rumble wins too. HBK says he thinks Bray Wyatt is the person to win the Rumble this year, then HBK and Hogan exchange some words and resolve it quickly. Hogan says his pick is Daniel Bryan, and Flair says he likes guys that walk on the wild side, and he is picking Dean Ambrose. Big Show walks out and says he knows why they didn’t pick him to win, and he beat Hulk for the World Title his first night in WCW, and that haunts him. He says Flair was the man, but he took Flair out of his top spot, and Flair hates that, so that brings him to HBK. He says HBK slowly faded out of the picture because he would have eaten him alive, then he calls them all washed up has-beens, begging for attention. Show says he is winning the Royal Rumble, then Flair asks if he is done yet and starts chopping him and wooing, and Show knocks him out. Show says this is their fault, then Roman Reigns enters through the crowd and checks on Flair, then Show says he will get hurt. Show says he will knock Reigns out if he doesn’t leave, so Reigns starts teeing off on him before clotheslining him out of the ring.

Renee Young interviews John Cena and reveals the results of the App vote. With an 85% vote of yes, Cena will be having a match later tonight.  Cena's reacts,saying that the most important part of WWE is the Universe, and they want to see him fight.

The nWo (Scott Hall, X-Pac, Kevin Nash) come out to the ring. Scott Hall starts it off with having the fans participating in a survey: asking the fans whether they came to see the RAW Reunion or did they come to see the n-W-o. Of course, the latter question was the unanimous answer and he thanks the fans for playing. Big Sexy points out that he and the nWo singlehandedly ushered in the Monday Night Wars and hints that we fans can view this on the WWE Network for $9.99 (a la Triple H). X-Pac hypes up the crowd until The Ascension (Konnor & Viktor) interrupt. They say that they are the tag team that ais going to change the business. JBL does not take this too lightly, and he criticizes The Ascension for coming in from of legends trying to change the business. He also says that he made a phone call to another legend... longtime tag team partner, Ron Simmons! The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James & "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) come out and are disappointed that they weren't invited to this melee. The Ascension get their butts handed to them, ending with JBL hitting his patented "Clothesline From Hell" on Viktor!

Big Show and Kane hold him back, but Brock takes them down, with Lesnar hitting the F5 on the Big Show to end the show.

He says MVP took something away from a brother, and when he (EY) was champion, he took care of Roode first.

Heyman tells Seth Rollins that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have been taken out of power once and that it can happen again, especially when Heyman himself has gained power from ending The Undertaker's undefeated WrestleMania streak and led Brock Lesnar to a WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign.

The show in New Orleans - the first since WrestleMania 30 - starts with John Cena entering the ring.

He knows none of them deserve to be fired, and so does the crowd. He wants everyone at home to use #AuthoritySucks on Twitter to drive the message to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. As for Cena, he has a Plan B: winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Royal Rumble, then taking his ball and going home with the title until Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan are re-hired. Triple H and Stephanie show up and mock his efforts, saying that Cena knew what he was getting into when he fought against them. They give Cena another chance, however, as "they didn't want to fire those guys last week." All Cena has to do is win his match tonight: a one-on-one match against Seth Rollins that Triple H turns into a Lumberjack match. HHH then brings out the lumberjacks, as the match is next.

Dean Ambrose has his psychological exam, which starts with an annoying, ticking clock.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) beat Tyson Kidd and Cesaro despite attempted interference from Adam Rose.

Show says he'll stab the new guy on the job in the back to ensure job security...then talks about Roman Reigns, whom he calls a loser and plans to knock out so he can celebrate afterwards. He also calls Roman's fans "losers," as well. Roman Reigns shows up, and Big Show walks up the ramp. Reigns knows he's not a threat to Big Show, and then re-tells Jack and the Beanstalk his way as his way of telling Show he's the real loser.

Roman Reigns beats Luke Harper. After the match, Big Show attacks Roman Reigns and knocks him out.

Damien Mizdow tells The Miz that he recorded his every waking moment for the last six months for a movie.

Alicia Fox beats Naomi, who has one arm tied behind her back during the match. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) were also barred from ringside during the match.

Dean Ambrose's psychological exam continues with image association therapy.

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up. After showing footage of Lesnar breaking Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30, Heyman puts Lesnar on a pedestal, saying that Lesnar will show both John Cena and Seth Rollins the difference between fantasy and reality when Lesnar retains the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Royal Rumble.

The Miz beats Jey Uso after a game of tug-of-war involving both Jimmy Uso and Jey as well as Miz and Damien Mizdow, after Mizdow tries to interfere.

Daniel Bryan shows up. Last time he was in New Orleans, he became World Heavyweight Champion. He plans to do that again this year by winning the Royal Rumble match. All of a sudden, Stephanie McMahon shows up. After trying to hawk her workout DVD, she has to remind everyone of Daniel Bryan's injury that shelved him for eight months and patronize him. Daniel Bryan says he and the WWE Universe will never stop fighting, and Stephanie responds by putting D-Bry in a match against Kane - the same man who injured him - later this week on SmackDown. Daniel Bryan goes right after Kane, and though Kane gets the upper hand shortly into the brawl, Bryan fights back with a vengeance until officials break it up. Daniel Bryan is back.

Brie Bella beats Paige, thanks to Tyson Kidd causing a distraction by standing on the ring apron. After the match, Paige slaps him.

Bray Wyatt promises to win the Royal Rumble match.

It's official: "Macho Man" Randy Savage is the first inductee in the 2015 Class of the WWE Hall of Fame. He will be inducted into the Hall by Hulk Hogan.

The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) beat two random guys.

Dean Ambrose is now the psychologist...and tells the guy giving him the exam that not only is he a spineless, gutless, screwed-up heap of cow dung, but that it's weird when he sits down to pee.

Rusev and Lana are in the ring. After mocking Ryback's recent firing and declaring that Rusev is in the Royal Rumble match, Dean Ambrose shows up and brawls with Rusev.

Rusev beats Dean Ambrose when Ambrose can't continue with the match due to a hurt knee.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon bring out John Cena, Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar for the contract signing for their Royal Rumble match. Heyman gives credit where credit is due and thanks Seth Rollins for making all of this possible, but he is upset that the match is a Triple Threat Match and says Lesnar will soon conquer him and Cena. After lists of WWE accomplishments are thrown around and threats of ass whipping are made, all three men sign the contract. After this, all three men brawl, and after two German Suplexes, an Attitude Adjustment through a table and two Curb Stomps, Rollins is the last man standing.

Here are the top moments from tonight's show!
