Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for May 23, 2016

Seth Rollins, fresh from a return at Extreme Rules, starts tonight's show. He says that he is back and that he is taking back the title that he never lost: the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. When he notices that the WWE Universe missed him, he finds it surprising, as he says the WWE Universe hated him to death during his championship reign as he hid behind The Authority every chance he could and everyone called him the weakest link. He says he took all the flowers and "get well soon" cards, put them in a garbage can and lit them all on fire, and says he never needed the WWE Universe and doesn't need them. He tells the WWE Universe to either cheer him or boo him, as he'll get back the title he never lost. Roman Reigns shows up, and when he gets in the ring, Seth Rollins gets out. As he tells Roman he'll only face him on his time, Shane McMahon shows up. Shane knows that there is a lot of animosity between Seth and Roman, and makes a match between the two of them for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship official for Money in the Bank.

Big E says a wrestling ring is never a safe place for a cake, so Big E volunteers to take it outside...and it almost ends up in JBL and Byron Saxton's faces. All of a sudden, The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) spoil the fun and attack The New Day.

Charlotte thanks herself before saying Dana Brooke "made the right choice" when it comes to being the best. Dana thanks her for the privilege of standing in the ring with the dirtiest player in the game. Charlotte says she understands why her dad wasn't there, and now she's more powerful and more confident now that she is Women's Champion. She then tells Ric Flair to get out of her ring. She says she's now tired of being referred to as "Ric Flair's daughter" and of people saying she couldn't do anything without his help. She then calls Ric Flair "the second dirtiest player in the game" and says she has no time for people who come in second place. She tells Ric that he abandoned her and that she doesn't need him anymore, and tells him to get out. Ric reluctantly leaves the ring and heads to the back.

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 Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) appears. Bray thinks he is either insane or that his mind is key to saving the entire world. He asks the WWE Universe to take his hand and join him.



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.



The League of Nations (Sheamus and Rusev) beat The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) with a distraction from Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio attacks Kalisto after the match.

Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) say they're successful because they're a brotherhood.

As they talk about how they go together like other great teams (like Sonic and Tails), Chris Jericho's entrance stops them.



Chris Jericho and AJ Styles beats The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) after Jericho turns a Trouble In Paradise into the Walls of Jericho. After the match, AJ Styles and Chris Jericho make it clear that "Y2AJ" is a thing and challenge The New Day to a match for the tag team titles next week.



Todd Chrisley of Chrisley Knows Best is in the front row with his youngest son.

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.

Goldust runs into R-Truth, who tells him that Golden Truth isn't going to happen. Goldust just walks away.

Dean Ambrose vs. Alberto Del Rio ends when Triple H shows up and sics The League of Nations (Sheamus, Del Rio, Rusev, King Barrett) on him. Triple H tells Dean he should know that he can never win against The Authority, which causes Dean Ambrose to throw punches at Triple H until he gets hit with a Pedigree. 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.

It is announced that there is no timetable for Roman Reigns to return after the surgery on his nose.

The League of Nations (Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Rusev, King Barrett) beats Neville, Dolph Ziggler and The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto).

Kevin Owens tells Renee Young that he was inspired by Dean Ambrose taking a beating from Brock Lesnar, and has decided to give Ambrose his rematch for the Intercontinental Championship tonight. Only thing is, Ambrose isn't here...but Big Show is. Owens says he has the night off, but Big Show appears and tells Owens he hasn't beaten him yet. 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.

Kevin Owens beats Big Show by count out after Big Show gets on the top rope only for Owens to pull one of Show's legs off, causing him to land groin first on the turnbuckle and fall out of the ring. Big Show is unable to get back in the ring in time.

Renee Young interviews Dolph Ziggler, who admits that Kevin Owens got the better of him at Fastlane. He promises to put the WWE Intercontinental Championship around his waist at WrestleMania 32. The Miz shows up and says Renee Young should be asking about his WrestleMania plans, since he headlined it five years ago. Dolph Ziggler tells him that was five years ago, and that everything he's done since then has been largely forgotten. After asking him what he's done lately, Ziggler tells Miz that if he thinks he deserves a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, then he himself doesn't deserve to be a WWE Superstar.

The Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award can be see in the center of the ring at the beginning of the show.

Vince McMahon shows up to present the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award. Vince McMahon talks about his father, then awards the trophy to his daughter, Stephanie McMahon, who shows up to accept it. Vince tells her she was born for this business and embodies all the attributes of his father. As she thanks Triple H for making everything possible, Shane McMahon appears in the WWE for the first time in years. Vince tries to hug him and shake his hand, but Shane stops him, saying that this award is why he's here and that Stephanie isn't deserving of it. Stephanie tells Shane he doesn't know what he's talking about, especially when it comes to running a business like WWE, but Shane tells her that she and Triple H have run the company into the ground. Stephanie tells him to get out, but Shane tells her and Vince that Vince messed up big time a couple of years and he had to save his bacon. In the process, he was able to take some time off and save his place in line. As for Stephanie's rise atop the company ladder in WWE, Shane let it happen. Stephanie wants to know if this is true, and Vince says there's some truth to it. Shane then says it's all true, and at the time...it was best for business. Shane then tells Steph to leave the ring. Stephanie tells Shane she'll never forgive him. Vince tries to cut him a check, thinking it's about money, but Shane says it's not about money, it's about the McMahon legacy...and that he wants control of Monday Night Raw. Vince says if he controls Raw, he controls the entire company, and that he can't just pick up where he left off now that WWE is a publicly traded company. But he cuts him a deal: he'll give Shane what he wants if he has one match...one night...against an opponent of Vince's choosing. If he wins, he gets what he wants. If he loses, Vince wants everything in Shane's lockbox so that Shane can't hold anything over his head ever again. Shane agrees, and Vince names the time and the place: WrestleMania 32. The opponent of Vince's choice is The Undertaker...and it will be Hell in a Cell.

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up. Heyman begins by putting Lesnar on a pedestal, and gets us up to speed on what happened at Fastlane before showing us that video of Lesnar decimating Dean Ambrose before the show. Heyman says nothing can protect Ambrose from Lesnar, who he says should be in the main event at WrestleMania 32. After Heyman says that Lesnar is looking for a new WrestleMania opponent, the ambulance is seen on the TitanTron returning to the arena...and out comes Dean Ambrose, still in the neck brace and still extremely weak from the beating Lesnar gave him. He drags himself towards the ring. Lesnar meets him outside, then leaves him alone. Ambrose then gets the mic and tells Lesnar to kiss his ass and that he's indestructible. He then says he wants Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 32 in a no-holds-barred street fight. Lesnar then returns and hits Ambrose with an F5 outside the ring. Heyman then tells Ambrose his client accepts his challenge.



Before the next match, The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) show up and tell The Usos they're the most decorated tag team in WWE history, not a nostalgia act, and that their legacy is definied by their tag team title reigns, not the tables, which they say we will never see again. D-Von then tells The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) that Rikishi should have taught them respect instead of buying thongs over and over again. The Usos are about to argue with them when The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) attack them from behind, getting their match underway.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) quickly beat The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor). The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) approach the ring after the match, then back away.

Suddenly, The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) show up and act sarcastic and unimpressed about the whole thing. They say nobody is buying this and tell them to get out of the ring as they are a real time. Jericho calls The Social Outcasts' bluff and challenges them right now.

Stephanie McMahon tells Roman Reigns he has a match with Sheamus, and makes fun of his friendship with Dean Ambrose.

Goldust apologizes to R-Truth for what happened last night with a chocolate frosted yellow cake saying "I'm sorry." He almost gets R-Truth to team up with him, but Truth pushes the cake into his face instead.



The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan) beat Ryback, Kane and The Big Show after Ryback walks out on his teammates.



Ryback says he left the match because he had nothing to prove in the rematch from Fastlane, and that he's done being part of tag teams. He wants to go solo again and break the glass ceiling there, and tells Big Show and Kane that it's nothing personal. He wants the spotlight to be on him.

Sasha Banks beats Naomi with the Banks Statement after Becky Lynch takes out Tamina. After the match, Charlotte shows up wearing a top that looks similar to Brie Bella's.

The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Adam Rose, Curtis Axel) show up before it can begin. They say that Bo is still laying down tracks in the studio, then poke fun at AJ Styles and call themselves "The Phenomenal Three" before making fun of Jericho.

Jericho asks if the main event at Fastlane will bring out animosity. They both say no. As for Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns takes him seriously due to first-hand experience, and though Ambrose hasn't fought him, he still likes his chances and says he just has to beat Roman...which Roman says he hasn't done either. Suddenly, The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) show up and brag about what they did to Lesnar at Royal Rumble.

Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for January 25, 2016

Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon start off tonight's show. Vince claims that his family has officially broken Roman Reigns in half, and that when the McMahon family does that to someone, they stay that way. Vince then makes a confession: he enjoys watching the miseries and misfortunes of others (which we've known all along). Stephanie says she had us eating from the palm of her hands, as Triple H surprised everyone last night and that nobody can hold a candle to him. She then introduces Triple H, who shows up in the suit and tie while wearing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Triple H calls Roman Reigns one of the most awesome athletes he's seen, but he's not as good as him. He says that Roman is cocky and disrespectful towards Vince, and says Vince might as well be God, and that he will be damned if Roman Reigns disrespects him. He then makes it clear that he's not done yet and that his time has not yet passed, and that he wants to and will be WWE World Heavyweight Champion for as long as the locker room learns some respect. He says that Roman Reigns doesn't deserve the title.

She agrees tearfully, but then she slaps Brie and tells her at SummerSlam, she's going to be her bitch. This starts a brawl between Brie and Stephanie that road agents and Triple H have to break up.
