Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for October 5, 2015

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up. Heyman is focused on Hell In A Cell, and says The Undertaker is in a fight that he cannot win, and that the Hell in a Cell match isn't Undertaker's match...it's Lesnar's. After reminding everyone about the fact that Heyman broke The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30 as well as the fact that 'Taker narrowly beat Lesnar at SummerSlam due to referee error, Heyman says that 'Taker isn't "dead man" enough to beat Lesnar, and promises this will be the last match between Lesnar and 'Taker. Suddenly, Big Show appears, and admits Lesnar took him to Suplex City on Saturday before extending his hand. Lesnar just walks away from him, and Show says he hopes Lesnar loses to 'Taker...again. Lesnar gets back in the ring and hits a belly-to-belly suplex before landing an F5 on Show.


Seth Rollins is talking to Stephanie McMahon. Rollins now has no tag team partner due to Lesnar attacking Big Show, and Stephanie McMahon tells him to go find another one.

Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton beat The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Braun Strowman). After the match, Roman Reigns tells Bray Wyatt they're done at Hell In A Cell.


King Barrett guests on commentary for the next match.

Before the next match, Sheamus makes fun of the Boston Celtics before making fun of Neville, saying he will always be a loser. Neville responds with a kick to the gut, and King Barrett distracts Neville, causing Sheamus to hit him with a Brogue Kick. Sheamus beats Neville.


Kane is in the ring. He announces that he himself will be Seth Rollins' partner against The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) tonight. Seth shows up as if almost on cue, and he isn't too thrilled. After Rollins makes some Tom Brady-related insults towards Kane, Kane says he's doing this to bring out the best in Rollins, but Rollins says the World Heavyweight title brings out the best in him. He tells Rollins that it looks like he doesn't like the man he sees in the mirror, and that to be the man, sometimes you have to go through Hell and face your demons. Rollins wonders out if Kane is the demon he should face. Stephanie McMahon shows up and chews out Rollins, saying that at least Tom Brady is a team player, and makes a match for Hell In A Cell: Kane vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. She also officially makes Kane Rollins' tag team partner, then adds a stipulation to the title match: if Demon Kane doesn't beat Rollins for the World Heavyweight title, Corporate Kane is relieved of his duties as Director of Operations.


Rollins is backstage with Triple H. Rollins feels that Kane will stab him in the back somehow, but Triple H tells him "Do unto others before they do unto you."

WWE is partnering with the Susan G. Komen foundation as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. John Cena and Roman Reigns are in the ring with breast cancer survivors.


The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) beat Seth Rollins and Kane (who is carried to the back due to injury) by disqualification after Rollins drop kicks the table that the Dudleys are carrying out. Demon Kane shows up and attacks Rollins, but the Dudleys hit Kane with a Dudley Death Drop before he can do anything to him. After the Dudleys leave, Seth Rollins gets the table that the Dudleys were about to use and puts it in the ring, but Kane fights back and choke slams Rollins through the table.


Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) and Team BAD (Naomi, Tamina, Sasha Banks) meet up outside of the arena earlier in the day.

Team BAD (Naomi, Tamina, Sasha Banks) are in the ring. Sasha Banks is about to talk about how she puts the "Boss" in Boston when Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) shows up. Nikki says she's taking the Divas title back at Hell In A Cell, and this quickly starts an argument between both teams which almost explodes.

Team BAD (Naomi, Tamina, Sasha Banks) beats Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) with the Banks Statement on Alicia Fox.

Rusev tells Summer that he didn't like her at first, but he eventually warmed up to her. She then says she has to tell Rusev something, then gets down on one knee, produces an engagement ring and asks Rusev to marry her. Rusev is astounded, and Summer tells him that they could go straight to the top - further than he ever did with Lana - if he just says the word. Rusev says yes...but not yet. He wants gold around his waist before she can have gold around her finger.


This Thursday on SmackDown: Roman Reigns and Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman!

John Cena shows up. He immediately goes to the United States Championship Open Challenge, which is answered by Dolph Ziggler...almost. The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up, dragging Ziggler with them. They drop him at the top of the ramp, and Xavier Woods asks if this is serious enough for Cena. They then pick Big E to represent them in the open challenge.

John Cena retains the WWE United States Championship against Big E after Big E tries to use Xavier Woods' trombone as a weapon and misses big. After the match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) attack Cena. Dolph Ziggler shows up for real this time around and tries to make the save, but accidentally super kicks Cena as he aims for Kofi Kingston. A weakened Ziggler is taken out, and The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) show up only to fall to the numbers game. The New Day leave the ring and head up the ramp, celebrating their handiwork.

SmackDown Hotel! - Thursday Night SmackDown recap for October 1, 2015

Seth Rollins shows up, saying that Kane may have fooled human resources, but he has not fooled him. He calls out Kane, and Kane shows up on crutches. Kane says any joy he had in coming back to his job was shattered when Rollins re-injured his leg, but Rollins says Kane was the one who started it when he attacked him at Night of Champions. Rollins says he isn't stupid, and that he needs severe psychiatric help. Kane agrees on the second part, but says Rollins needs it, and it appears he has no recollection of him going demonic on Monday night. Kane thinks Rollins is making excuses to get out of his match against John Cena at Hell in a Cell, and thinks that Rollins is the one with the demon. He puts him in a match with The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) against The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von)...and Demon Kane? Rollins says he won't accept the match-up unless Corporate Kane watches from ringside. Kane accepts this caveat.


Before the next match, Team BAD (Naomi, Tamina, Sasha Banks) says that nobody cares about who started the Divas Revolution, but that everyone will care that they ended it.

Team B.A.D. (Naomi, Tamina, Sasha Banks) beats Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) with a Banks Statement to Nikki Bella as Tamina and Naomi stop Brie from breaking the hold.


Seth Rollins meets The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) backstage. It's just as awkward as their last backstage meeting, and Rollins isn't buying the power of positivity...until they tell him he's the man. Kane is seen watching them as they leave.


Jojo interviews Charlotte and Becky Lynch. Paige shows up as Charlotte and Becky say that they're tired of her actions as of late, and Charlotte tells Paige she's either with them or against them. Charlotte and Becky leave, and Paige turns around to run into Natalya, who tells her that if she ever attacks her again like she did Monday night, she'll make her sorry she met her.


Ryback beats Kevin Owens by count-out after Owens stays outside of the ring on purpose. Kevin Owens retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship. After the match, Owens tries to go for a powerbomb to the apron, but Ryback stops it and they both fight in the ring. Owens goes for a pop-up powerbomb, but Ryback counters with a clothesline and hits Shell Shocked.


Neville and The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) beat Stardust and The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor).


The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman) show up. Wyatt says that he's proved Roman Reigns a mortal man, and that he himself is forever. Roman shows up and climbs up to the ring apron, and Harper and Strowman advance towards him. Roman gets into the ring, and walks up to Wyatt to stare him down. Wyatt tells Harper and Strowman to back off, and he and Roman stare down some more. Roman then says to Wyatt "Hell in a Cell" before leaving.


Corporate Kane sits at ringside for the next match. Not surprisingly, Demon Kane fails to show up.

Seth Rollins hits both D-Von Dudley and Kane with a suicide dive, and Kane has to be helped to the back. Kane later returns in his demon form and attacks Rollins, and Rollins retreats into the crowd. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) and Demon Kane beat Seth Rollins and The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E). After the match, Kane choke slams everyone else but Xavier Woods, who gets a Tombstone Piledriver instead. Rollins, who is now watching from the top of the entrance ramp, watches helplessly as Kane lifts up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for June 29, 2015

Kane, J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) and Seth Rollins show up to begin tonight's show. He makes fun of the Washington, DC crowd as they have no idea how to gain true power or what true power even is. He says true power is earned by taking it before saying that last week, he went to Suplex City and burned it down when he beat down Brock Lesnar last week. Lesnar is not here tonight, according to Rollins. He then focuses on Jamie Noble's injury at Lesnar's hands last week, and commands the WWE Universe to show him some respect. He then tells Kane and J&J Security that he has something for them for their appreciation: brand new Apple watches, which the three of them enjoy. Rollins then tells Kane has something extra for him for being the glue that has held WWE together for 17 years: a vacation to Hawaii. Kane also gets an Hawaiian welcoming party, and Kane is ecstatic. Rollins proposes a no-disqualification tag team match with him and Kane vs. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose for later tonight, then awards J&J Security a brand new 2015 Cadillac CTS worth $55,660 with an all-leather interior (for Joey) after seeing them in a crappy rental car.

The Miz guests on commentary for the next match.

Big Show beats Mark Henry. After the match, Ryback shows up and easily fights off Show, then The Miz rushes into the ring, hits a big boot on Ryback and flees up the entrance ramp.

Cesaro vs. John Cena for the WWE United States Championship goes from an intense match to a complete washout after Kevin Owens rushes the ring and lays waste to both men before saying he did this to ensure he would win the title at Battleground.

The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) and The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) and Bo Dallas.

Dolph Ziggler and Lana show up. Dolph admits that Lana used him to get back at Rusev at first, but says the situation has changed. Lana says that Rusev basically told her what to do, but now that she's her own woman, she realizes that Ziggler is more of a man than him. She admits that they have become more than just friends, then Rusev shows up...with Summer Rae. He calls Lana a "goldfish," but Ziggler shuts him up and tells him to walk away. They stare down, then Rusev backs away, but Summer Rae grabs the mic and calls Lana a gold digger before telling her to admit that she's just a two-timing phony. Summer then slaps her, and Lana responds by finally losing it and attacking her.

Rollins taunts a downed Reigns only for Reigns to fight back once more, only to fall victim to the numbers game once again. Seth Rollins then puts Roman Reigns through the table, but Roman is still stirring, and Rollins hits another Pedigree. Bray Wyatt then returns to an empty ring and hits Sister Abigail on a downed Roman Reigns to end the show.

He addresses the "You look stupid" chants by saying he no longer looks as stupid now that he has the Money In The Bank Briefcase and an instant shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his possession. After making light of what happened to Randy Orton, he says that nobody - including Brock Lesnar - will stop him on his way to the stop. Suddenly, Dean Ambrose shows up, reminds him he has the briefcase thanks to Bray Wyatt, and tells him he beat him last week.

Monday, June 15, 2015

Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for June 15, 2015

The show begins with a tribute to Dusty Rhodes.

Seth Rollins shows up to start the show. He acknowledges Dean Ambrose for bringing his A-game to Money In The Bank last night, then says Ambrose's A-game isn't as good as his. He names down a list of people to thank, which consists only of himself and nobody else. He then tells everyone to take a good look at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, as he says LeBron James will never bring a championship to Cleveland, Ohio. Suddenly, Dean Ambrose shows up. Ambrose and Rollins waste no time going at each others' throats, and even though Ambrose is walking upright perfectly, Rollins tries to work on it again only for Ambrose to fight back. Rollins retreats, and Ambrose grabs a steel chair and a microphone, threatening to hold a sit-in until Rollins comes back.

As Dean Ambrose continues to sit in wait, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon tell Seth Rollins they take his list of thanks from earlier very seriously. They have a plan for taking care of Ambrose. As for what's next for Rollins, Triple H and Stephanie tell him he'll find out at the end of the night.

Ambrose is sitting in the ring when Sheamus shows up. Sheamus calls Ambrose a loser for his crushing defeat last night, and that he's here as per Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to kick his head clean off his shoulders. This starts a match.

We see excerpts of classic Dusty Rhodes matches throughout the show.

R-Truth shows up with a toilet plunger and a white bedsheet for a royal cape, but finds out he's in a match with King Barrett.

Barrett then teats Truth's paper crown and stomps on his bedsheet cape before telling Truth he is making a mockery of his royal title.

Major label recording artist MGK meets the Superstars and Divas of the WWE.

Kevin Owens shows up, fresh off of a loss last night which drove him to injure John Cena after the match with a powerbomb into the ring apron. He says that Cena forced him to do that after Cena told him he belonged in the ring with all these people, which he took as an insult as he doesn't need Cena to validate that. He calls Cena a bad winner for trying to shake hands with him after last night's match, and says it's Cena trying to hog the spotlight. He then demands Cena/Owens III...for the United States title. Since Cena's out tonight, he decides to hold an open challenge for the NXT Championship. Dolph Ziggler answers the challenge, saying he's had to scratch and claw his way to everything he's earned in the WWE, and that tonight will be no different. Before the match starts, however, Owens states he did not explicitly state that he was defending the NXT Championship, effectively making this a non-title match.

Kevin Owens beats Dolph Ziggler.

Paige holds an emergency meeting with all the other Divas, trying to get them to band together against The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella). Nobody is biting, even when she says she's challenged The Bellas to a 2-on-1 handicap match. When the Bellas show up and put down Paige, everyone else leaves.

Kane beats Randy Orton after Sheamus shows up and Kane uses the opportunity (and his Director of Operations powers) to make the rest of the match no-holds-barred. Sheamus puts Orton down with a Brogue Kick and Kane makes the cover.

Backstage, Kane runs into Seth Rollins. Rollins runs his mouth, but Kane tells him he's not the man and that he's really an idiot. Rollins tells Kane that he's always had someone holding his hand, and when he namedrops Paul Bearer, Kane goes nuts. Rollins tells Kane to hope he's not his next opponent.

Ryback guests on commentary for the next match.

The Miz beats Big Show by count-out when Big Show chops Miz in front of the commentary before tossing Miz into Ryback. Ryback and Show almost come to blows before Miz gets back in the ring and the bell rings, indicating that Show has lost by count-out. Show chases Miz out of the ring, then retreats before Ryback can hit him with a Meat Hook.

Roman Reigns shows up. He's not happy with Bray Wyatt ruining everything last night and calls him out. Wyatt appears on the TitanTron, calling the Money In The Bank Briefcase "his destiny," and makes it clear he wants revenge on Roman for spoiling his chance at glory. He is then seen looking at a picture of Roman Reigns with his daughter after asking why they should fight so close to Father's Day and set a bad example.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) beat Paige in a 2-on-1 handicap match.

Neville and The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods).

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up. Stephanie announces that disciplinary action will be taken against Kevin Owens for his actions towards MGK. Triple H then says that Jamie Noble, Joey Mercury and Dean Ambrose will not be Seth Rollins' next opponent. Suddenly, Seth Rollins shows up and says it doesn't matter who his opponent is as HHH and Stephanie were right when they said nobody can take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from him. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon want to see if Rollins can evolve under pressure, and his next opponent is none other than Brock Lesnar, who hasn't been seen since the Raw after WrestleMania 31. Lesnar slowly slinks out of the ring and Lesnar just continues to stare at him.

As Kane and Rollins argue, Randy Orton shows up and says that Kane's verbal slamming of Rollins means a rematch is in order.

Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for April 20, 2015

All segments ----> Prince Watercress! (Thanks, bud!)

Randy Orton shows up, as a steel cage hangs above the ring. The cage lowers once he gets inside. Randy then calls Seth Rollins a "stupid bastard" for thinking banning the RKO will make it easier for him to win, especially with the steel cage surrounding the two of them. Randy plans to give Rollins the beating of a lifetime. Rollins shows up, saying that so-called beating isn't going to happen, that Orton has anger problems, and that he's so much better inside and outside the ring. Orton responds by saying that as soon as he gets back to the back, he's going to RKO anyone he see backstage during the break, and that he'll eventually RKO Rollins before the end of the night.


Before his match with Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper says that Ambrose may not fear him now, but he will soon enough.

Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper brawl before their match can even start.


Seth Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) are backstage when they are nearly scared half to death by The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) as they look over their shoulders for Randy Orton. Rollins chews out a backstage worker who thinks this is funny before running into Triple H. He trusts Triple H to do the right thing concerning Kane, but as for Randy Orton, he wants more security. Triple H tells him "it's only one guy." Rollins isn't too thrilled.


The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E.) beats The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto & Sin Cara) via countout when Xavier holds Sin Cara feets from under the ring. The New Day get a shot at the WWE Tag Team Championships at Extreme Rules but, suddenly, Randy Orton charges the ring and RKOs Kofi and Xavier. Big E., who was looking to take a shot at Orton, has second thoughts and retreats.


Fandango beats Curtis Axel.


Triple H shows up. He says that Seth Rollins will take the WWE into the future, but it is now time to find the next Seth Rollins. On June 23rd, Tough Enough returns, and anyone - anyone - can send in a 60-second video to WWE.com to prove they have what it takes. Only ten men and five women will win a slot on the show, and only one of those fifteen can become a WWE Superstar or Diva. Kane then shows up, stating that he's giving his two weeks' notice after Triple H says he is behind Seth Rollins. Triple H offers to handle this with him in the back like men, but Seth Rollins shows up and says "Let him quit. To hell with him." This starts some bickering between Kane and Rollins, with Kane calling Rollins out for acting as entitled as he does. Triple H stops the arguing, sides with Kane and makes him "Guardian of the Gate" in Rollins' Steel Cage match against Randy Orton at Extreme Rules. Rollins is ticked off.


Triple H catches Seth Rollins and Kane arguing again, and has to remind Kane that he's no longer fire and brimstone due to his Director of Operations duties. Kane feels otherwise and walks away. Triple H then tells Rollins to show a little respect and appreciate Kane's efforts, and puts him in the match against Dolph Ziggler that he should have had last week.


Nikki Bella guest on commentary for the next match.

Naomi beats Brie Bella.


Heath Slater tells Erick Rowan that he's taking John Cena's open challenge for the United States title at catering...then gets RKO'd through a table by Randy Orton.


Roman Reigns comes out, but he'd rather fight than talk and proceeds to call out Big Show. Instead of Big Show, however, he gets Bo Dallas, who now sports a beard and a goatee, who proceeds to verbally crap all over him and call him "Outback Jack in kevlar" and "The Tim Tebow of the WWE." He soon gets Superman Punched and Speared, and Reigns says that while Big Show chickened out tonight, he has no choice on Sunday...and that we can "Bolieeeeeeeve that."


Sheamus beats Zack Ryder after Dolph Ziggler saves Ryder. During the match, Sheamus is on the microphone the whole time and mocks both Ryder and the Albany, New York crowd.

John Cena shows up. He showed Rusev he means business and knows the WWE Universe cringes whenever he says the champ is here. He knows Rusev wants to destroy, hence why he chose the Russian Chains match stipulation at Extreme Rules. Cena, however, plans to put him back down again. He issues another open challenge for the WWE United States Championship. Kane answers.

John Cena retains the United States Championship against Kane.


Triple H glances at Kane as he heads away from the ring, as if to imply "I told you so."

Renee Young interviews The Miz, who verbally trashes Damien Mizdow. When Renee Young announces that Byron Saxton is standing by with John Cena, The Miz is ticked.

As Byron Saxton interviews John Cena, Cena is suddenly attacked from behind by Rusev, who has a chain in his hand and proceeds to put him in the Accolade with it until a referee pulls him off of Cena.

Dean Ambrose and Luke Harper are now in a Chicago Street Fight at Extreme Rules.

We get another cryptic promo from Bray Wyatt. Who is he talking about?


Ryback beats Adam Rose. After the match, two Rosebuds, one dressed as a banana and another dressed as a hot dog, attack Ryback only to get Shell Shocked.


Renee Young mentions that J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) joked about him with Seth Rollins on Twitter to Kane when she interviews him. Kane barges into Triple H's office and confronts Rollins, and Rollins apologizes to Kane for putting him through a whole bunch of crap, saying that it's embarassing when Kane keeps saying he helped him win the Money in the Bank contract. Rollins heads to the ring along with Mercury and Noble, and Randy Orton isn't too far behind.

Ryback takes on Rusev this Thursday on SmackDown.

Seth Rollins beats Dolph Ziggler when Ziggler is distracted by Sheamus. After the match, Rollins talks about how he'll become the man when he wins against Randy Orton on Sunday. Triple H shows up in mid-sentence to proclaim that Rollins will win Sunday, but Rollins takes the microphone and decides it's a good idea to tick off Kane yet again. Kane shows up to confront Rollins one more time, but J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) and Triple H hold him back as the cage comes down around Rollins...only for Randy Orton to be in there with him. Rollins eventually gets an RKO at the end of the night, as promised, to end the show.

SmackDown Hotel! - WWE 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. R-Truth takes the opportunity to sneak in, grab the belt, and escape by crawling out of the ring, much to the chagrin of Ambrose and Ziggler. Backstage, R-Truth is interviewed by Renee Young, and he tells her he came in with a gameplan. He tries to give the title to her, but then looks around backstage as he tries to give it back to Dean Ambrose again.


Tyson Kidd & Cesaro beats Los Matadores (Fernando & Diego) when Cesaro tries to make El Torito pay for catching him cheating. Natalya takes advantage of the situation from there by grabbing at Torito's legs.



Kane and Big Show meet up backstage. Both announce their intent to enter and win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 31, then Kane tells Big Show to get a ringside seat for his match against Ryback tonight before countering Big Show's Men's Warehouse pun.



Ryback beats Kane after Big Show distracts Ryback...and Kane. Ryback hits the Meat Hook for the win, then Kane grabs a microphone and puts Ryback in another match with Big Show.

Cameron, Summer Rae and Eva Marie get catty with one another.

R-Truth guests on commentary for the next match.

Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose beat Bad News Barrett and Luke Harper. After the match, Barrett hits a Bull Hammer on Ziggler and goes after R-Truth to take the Intercontinental title back. He almost gives it to him, but Ambrose gets to Barrett first. R-Truth then runs into Harper. He lays the title in front of Harper, then kicks him and tries to walk away until Daniel Bryan shows up. R-Truth gives Daniel Bryan the title, and Bryan is then attacked all of a sudden by Stardust, who takes the title and climbs up the ladder.

Rowan, Ziggler and Ryback seemed to hold their own until The Authority took davantage with the numbers game. Erick Rowan is chokeslammed by Kane and Big Show, followed by a Curb Stomp by Seth Rollins.

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 vs. Big Show and Kane ends when the match is taken outside the ring. Big Show attacks Roman Reigns and blasts him with a steel chair. Reigns relapses back and hits Show with the Superman Punch. Back in the ring, Reigns also blasts Show with the steel chair. Suddenly, D-Bry, who was aiming for Big Show, wounds up hitting Reigns instead, which causes Reigns to react in anger and push Daniel, furthering tension between the two.

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.

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.
