Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for February 29, 2016

JUST A HEADS UP: No videos for this week. I know. I need to get better on these blogs. Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of the posts that I have set up for the week of 2/29-3/5/16!!!


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.

Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks to determine a #1 contender for the WWE Divas Championship ends with both women's shoulders down on the mat after Sasha Banks hits a Sunset Flip on Becky. Becky is on top of Sasha, but since all four shoulders were down, this match is a draw.

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.

Vince McMahon shows up. He doesn't like the idea of his son Shane McMahon running the show, and implies that he would ruin everything. He says it will never happen, and that it would take a miracle for Shane to beat The Undertaker. 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." 'Taker leaves. Vince says Shane has not only lost the match, but also his inheritance, which will all go to Stephanie. He even goes so far as to disown and renounce Shane as his son.

Triple H tells him he has his championship match, and as he leaves the ring, Dean Ambrose thanks Triple H through the microphone. Triple H then returns to the ring to do even more damage to Ambrose, and officials have to pull him off of Ambrose.

SmackDown Hotel - Thursday Night Smackdown recap for February 25, 2016

Triple H makes his appearance to start off SmackDown. He quotes the first four lines of Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones, and says that if Roman Reigns has forgotten who he is, that there would be repercussions for Monday night and that he was lying outside the ring in a pool of his own blood and getting his nose surgically repaired, then there is no doubt in his mind now. We see a video package of Triple H's devastating beatdown on Roman from Monday night, followed by a post-surgery picture of Roman Reigns on the TitanTron, with Triple H saying that is the face of a man who has been humbled. He says he is the law; he is the authority. He says you can't beat authority, even though it is human nature to fight against it anyway. He tells Roman Reigns and anyone who can hear his voice to have some courtesy, sympathy and taste or he will "lay your soul to waste." Triple H says that he was walked on a lot of people to get to where he is now, then talks about Roman Reigns, saying he works hard and has the sweat, but Triple H says he himself has the blood (which is proven literally is on some towels with Roman's blood on it that Triple H pulls out of his suit), and that the tears are yet to come. Triple H says he will humble Roman Reigns and tear his dreams out from under him, for he is WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Owens makes a "road to retirement" joke, causing Big Show to grab him by the shirt collar and tell him they have a match tonight where he plans to knock Owens out.

Before the next match, The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) deny the WWE Universe their tables before going through their "we're not a nostalgia act" spiel. D-Von says that they do what they do for themselves, and will become tag team champions for themselves as well. Bubba Ray says the WWE Universe can take their tables and chants and shove them.

D-Von Dudley beats Jimmy Uso when Jey Uso pulls out a table, distracting the ref. Bubba Ray Dudley takes advantage by pushing Jimmy off the top rope, allowing D-Von to stack him up for the win.

The Undertaker returns to Raw this Monday!

AJ Styles and Chris Jericho talk about their recent matches, and Jericho thinks they have the chemistry to become tag team champions. They have a match against The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods), and if they can beat them tonight, they're in the running...but they need a third man. That man ends up being Mark Henry, who says that The New Day play around too much. He wants to teach them a serious lesson. Jericho tells him he's in.

Jericho says the Seattle, Washington audience deserves a Highlight Reel...and we get one, as the Miz TV set gets redecorated. The Miz gets ticked, saying this isn't right, and Jericho realizes we need a stool and a potted plant from Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose respectively, so we get them. The Miz ends up being the guest, and Jericho asks him about his recent match with AJ Styles. Miz mentions that Styles broke his front teeth, and that he had to go to great length to get them fixed. Jericho laughs about it, but Miz then makes fun of Jericho's loss to Styles as an attempt to say that he isn't the only one upstaged by AJ Styles. Jericho says this has been eating him up inside for the last two weeks, then after he asks if AJ Styles can beat him a second time, he says he doubts it because he is the best at what he does. AJ Styles shows up, then Miz attacks Jericho from behind. AJ attacks both men, but he and Jericho work together to toss Miz out of the ring. The two of them stare down, then brawl.

Daniel Bryan shows up, now with shorter hair and a trimmed beard since the last time that we saw him, looking much like he did back in 2011 and 2012. He says that he cut his hair and beard for Wigs For Kids to benefit children diagnosed with pediatric cancer. Bryan admits he has had three concussions in the first five months of his 16-year career, and has been getting more here and there, but he always turned out fine every time and has loved professional wrestling more than anything else. A week and a half ago, however, he found out his brain may not be as good as he thought it was. Having a family to think about as well as future children, he announces his retirement from professional wrestling. He feels nothing but gratitude after a 16-year career, and talks about some of his favorite things from his career. Daniel Bryan then says he is grateful to have done this, not just because the WWE Universe got behind him in the last two years, but also because the WWE Universe made the last time his dad saw him wrestle before he passed away memorable and because he met his girlfriend (and now wife) Brie Bella through the profession. Tomorrow he starts a new life, but tonight, he gets one last "Yes!" chant. Brie Bella joins him in the ring.


The celebration continues on the WWE Network, where the entire WWE roster including Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Vince McMahon stand at the top of the ramp to thank Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan thanks the fans, friends, family, commentary, Lilian Garcia, and finally the locker room.
