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.



Cesaro takes on The Miz, Dean Ambrose takes on Dolph Ziggler, Apollo Crews takes on Chris Jericho, AJ Styles takes on Kevin Owens and Sheamus takes on Sami Zayn...all in Money in the Bank qualifying matches tonight on Raw!

Renee Young interviews Sheamus, who is sick and tired of hearing about the new era and that the kids' eyes will have to covered as what he's going to Sami Zayn won't be for all ages.

Sami Zayn beats Sheamus to qualify for the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. After the match, Sheamus is seething.



Renee Young interviews Apollo Crews...but Sheamus attacks Crews before he can even speak.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up. There is a birthday cake in the ring, and it is out here to celebrate the 1200th episode of Raw tonight. 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.

Before the next match, The Miz and Maryse gloat over Miz's Intercontinental Championship win and is future Money in the Bank Briefcase win. The Miz ponders who would play him in a movie based on last night, but Maryse says nobody can even compare to him. Before they can kiss, Cesaro makes his entrance.

Renee Young interviews Seth Rollins. Stephanie McMahon shows up, and she tells him that things have changed along with their business relationship. They shake hands after she welcomes him back.



Chris Jericho beats Apollo Crews to qualify for the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. After the match, Sheamus laughs after Renee Young tries to interview him.



Jojo interviews Baron Corbin. Corbin says he did what he did last night because he can. Dolph Ziggler shows up and makes fun of Corbin, and says Corbin can't beat him in a technical wrestling match. Corbin tells him that if he wants another match, he'll get one. Next week is a technical wrestling match, but tonight is the Money In The Bank qualifying match against Dean AMbrose. He plans to do what Corbin can't: steal the show.



Enzo Amore returns to WWE programming for the first time since his injury at Payback along with Big Cass. Enzo calls out The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) after what they said about New Jersey at Extreme Rules.



Big Cass beats Bubba Ray Dudley.



Charlotte, Dana Brooke and Ric Flair arrive to address the State of the Women's Championship. Flair tells Charlotte he is proud of her for everything she's accomplished as of late. 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.



Dean Ambrose beats Dolph Ziggler to qualify for the Money In The Bank Ladder Match.



Ric Flair meets with Arn Anderson, who tells him "I'm sorry." Renee Young then tries to interview Flair, but Flair is so miserable after what happened earlier tonight that he can't say a thing.

The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico) invite the WWE Universe to come to Puerto Rico, "The Shining Star of the Caribbean."

Before the next match, AJ Styles says that Roman Reigns is every bit of the man he says he is, and that if it weren't for The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and The Club (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson), he would have beat Roman Reigns. He says he has an opportunity to beat Kevin Owens on his own and go on to Money in the Bank. Suddenly, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson show up and take offense to the "if it weren't for them" line. AJ says that things have changed, and that it's probably time for a professional split. He says that nothing can separate them from being brothers, but Gallows and Anderson don't like the sound of that. Gallows and Anderson eventually leave the ring after AJ says that right now, the ring is his ring.



This Thursday on SmackDown: Cesaro vs. The Miz for the WWE Intercontinental Championship! Kalisto vs. Rusev for the WWE United States Championship!

Kevin Owens beats AJ Styles to qualify for the Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Smackdown Hotel! - Thursday Night SmackDown recap for March 10, 2016

Tonight's show begins with Miz TV. Tonight's special guests are Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Sami Zayn is the first person to be introduced. The Miz wants to know "Who is Sami Zayn?" As soon as Sami talks about himself, however, Miz cuts him off, wanting to know about his rivalry with Kevin Owens. As before, Sami Zayn doesn't know when the rivalry between him and Owens started, especially given their friendship together. The Miz introduces Kevin Owens, who shows up on his own time and says he did what he did in NXT to further his career, and has nothing to do with their history. However, he says what Sami Zayn did on Monday was personal, and that he is the victim, not Sami. Sami says he's here to stay, and his first order of business is to take the Intercontinental Championship from Owens at WrestleMania 32. Kevin Owens tells him this isn't NXT, this is The Kevin Owens Show, and that it just won't be happening. When Sami challenges Owens right here and now, Owens calls Sami Zayn delusional, and is about to leave when Neville shows up. Neville tells Owens they have some unfinished business, and that the Intercontinental Championship would look good around his waist. The Miz butts in, saying this is his show, that Neville is not an approved guest and that he should be the one getting a shot at the title considering that he's main evented WrestleMania. Zayn tells him to stay out of this, as this doesn't concern him and his days of main eventing WrestleMania are far, far behind him. The Miz then attacks Sami Zayn from behind, but Zayn fights back, tossing The Miz out of the ring.


Sami Zayn and Neville beat The Miz and Kevin Owens when Owens leaves Miz high and dry.


Goldust and R-Truth meet in the bathroom again. This time, the roles are reversed, but at least R-Truth has the toilet paper ready for Goldust...who still says no to Truth's attempt and bringing Golden Truth together.


Lana guests on commentary for the next match.

Brie Bella beats Summer Rae with the Yes Lock. After the match, Summer tries to attack Brie, but gets a forearm followed by a running knee to the face after Summer is leaning on the ropes. When Brie turns around after the knee, however, Lana hits her with another Bella Buster.


Chris Jericho shows up with a "Y2AJ" shirt and places it atop a garbage can. Jericho says he is sick of the "AJ Styles" chants, and that this is why he turned on AJ Styles on Monday night. Jericho says he's done so much for WWE and has never gotten hurt once in 17 years, and yet everyone still chants for AJ. He tells all the AJ Styles fans to go to hell, and says he is "the only thing" as he keeps hearing about "the next big thing." He then announces he will stand and watch AJ Styles' WWE career wither and burn, then puts gasoline in the garbage can, and then lights the Y2AJ shirt on fire as he dumps it in the can as he says that AJ's career is going down in flames and that AJ burned him.


The Milwaukee Bucks are in the front row tonight.

The League of Nations (King Barrett and Sheamus) beats The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) after Rusev interferes behind the referee's back. After the match, Jojo interviews Ryback, who has watched the match from backstage. Ryback takes the opportunity to belittle The Lucha Dragons over their size, saying that two little men can't beat two big men and that he's genetically superior.


Renee Young interviews The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), who have no respect for their former idols, The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley), after what they've done to them as of late. Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler show up, and tonight, they're not focused on The Authority. They're focused on The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman).

Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman).

Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for March 7, 2016

Shane McMahon starts tonight's show. He recaps what happened last week, and says he's lost a respect for his father Vince after he disowned him, and calls him "an egomaniacal, miserable old bastard" who has seriously lost touch. He then says it is his destiny to own Raw and beat The Undertaker, saying that Vince's tyrannical grasp as well as that of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon must stop, and that there are more talent that are more deserving of a push that need it. We hear the gong of 'Taker's theme, followed by Vince's theme. Vince shows up, and the crowd calls him an asshole before chanting for CM Punk. Vince says there is fear in Shane's eyes, and that he will feel that fear at WrestleMania 32. After saying that Stephanie McMahon will get everything now that Shane is out of the will, Vince then talks about the night Shane went to his very first WWE event. We see a picture of father of son from way back when, then Vince takes a picture frame with said photo in it and smashes it with his foot. Vince also says that Shane's children will see him fail against The Undertaker, as a family's dreams will be shattered as 'Taker puts an end to what Vince calls "his greatest failure." Vince then sics security on Shane, and tell them to escort Shane out of the building. Shane says he'll leave peacefully as long as nobody touches him, as he says he's pretty amped up tonight. One guy gets close and tries to put a hand on them, and he gets kneed in the face. The other security guards get in the ring, but they all get beat down, too. Shane stands tall, and Vince is astounded.


Kevin Owens beat Neville with a roll-up. After the match, Owens continues to attack Neville, but that attack is cut short by the surprise appearance of Sami Zayn, who goes straight for Owens and gives him a brawl he'll never forget.


Dolph Ziggler is talking with Zack Ryder when Stephanie McMahon shows up. After talk about Shane McMahon - and a tweet that he was forced to delete due to it being "disaparaging to The Authority," Stephanie puts Dolph Ziggler in an elimination handicap match against three members of The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, King Barrett, Alberto Del Rio).

Summer Rae beats Brie Bella with a roll-up after Lana shows up and distracts Brie. After the match, Lana hits Brie Bella with a Bella Buster.


Dean Ambrose shows up. He loves that he's thrown a wrench in the works on the Road to WrestleMania, and says he's hijacking the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and WrestleMania 32, and says Triple H will respect him after Roadblock. He says that he and Triple H will be doing stuff for the community together, and says Triple H will make him a suit only to realise he's not a suit guy. As soon as he says he'll be a fighting champion, Triple H shows up. He says the World Heavyweight Championship will be around his waist as long as he allows it to be. Dean Ambrose tells Triple H to suck it, but Triple H says "Roadblock" is just a name from marketing and that Ambrose is a speed bump or pothole at best. He also says Ambrose has the same problem with authority as Roman Reigns. After more insults tossed back and forth, Ambrose dares Triple H to get in the ring. Triple H says he'll do it only on his time, then puts Ambrose in a match later tonight against Bray Wyatt to teach him a lesson that "The Authority always wins."


The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, King Barrett) beat Dolph Ziggler in a 3-on-1 elimination match.


We see a video package of Shane McMahon's history in the WWE.

Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks beat Naomi and Tamina with a Banks Statement to Tamina. After the match, Becky and Sasha are both attacked by Charlotte.


R-Truth passes by Mark Henry on his way to give Goldust a Chicago deep dish pizza. Goldust doesn't know what's up, until Truth mentions the Golden Truth idea. Goldust then says a true partner would know that he is lactose intolerant, and if he took one bite, his butt would explode. Goldust puts the pizza down and walks away, and as R-Truth says he didn't know about Goldust's exploding butt, Mark Henry takes the pizza all for himself.


Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) says that Y2AJ (Chris Jericho and AJ Styles) will never make it, and that they are a real team.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) retain the WWE Tag Team Championships against Y2AJ (Chris Jericho and AJ Styles). After the match, Chris Jericho hits three Codebreakers on AJ Styles. He then grabs a Y2AJ shirt and shoves it in AJ Styles' mouth.

Kalisto beats Tyler Breeze.


Big Boss Man is the next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.


Jojo interviews Kalisto. He hopes to make a WrestleMania moment that will live forever. Ryback shows up, saying he's not in the main event on WrestleMania 32, and says he respects Kalisto and says that he is a real-life champion, and tells him he should go solo, saying that being in a tag team with Sin Cara will hold him back.

The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) show up and make fun of Ryback for wanting to go solo. Curtis Axel says "The Axeman Cometh" before everyone does the "YI" chant.

Ryback beats Curtis Axel.


Vince McMahon meets with Stephanie McMahon, who wants to talk to him about Shane McMahon. Stephanie asks "What if...?" Vince says he's got this, but Stephanie asks "What if you don't?" Vince insists he's got this.


This Thursday on SmackDown: Miz TV with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens as special guests! Chris Jericho explains his actions!

Before the next match, Bray Wyatt appears on the TitanTron, saying he will conquer the conqueror and slay the beast by beating Brock Lesnar at Roadblock this Saturday. Tonight, however, he will use Dean Ambrose as an example of just how dangerous he can be and why he is called "The Eater of Worlds."

Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt ends with the arrival of the rest of The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman). The four of them then destroy Ambrose. Triple H then shows up, loosens his tie and gets in the ring. Bray Wyatt stares Triple H down, however, and Triple H returns the favor by staring down Wyatt, who then laughs, looks at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and touches it, then backs away with his Family. Triple H then deconstructs the commentary table, but when he gets back in the ring, Ambrose hits Triple H with Dirty Deeds. He then picks up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and looks at it as he stares down Triple H from the corner.


Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

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.

Natalya vs. Becky Lynch ends when Naomi and Tamina attack Natalya. They go after Becky Lynch, but Sasha Banks shows up and evens the odds. Charlotte then shows up with Ric Flair and says the #1 contendership for the Divas Championship is this Monday on Raw and that she'll sit at ringside to see who wants it more, and wishes them the best of luck.

Goldust shows up before the next match. R-Truth wants him out of here, not wanting him around after what happened at Fastlane, but Goldust says he's headed to a neutral corner.

R-Truth beats Heath Slater when the rest of The Social Outcasts (Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) distract the ref only for Goldust to take advantage by slapping Heath Slater in the face from the apron, allowing R-Truth to get the win.

Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) make fun of The League of Nations (Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Rusev, King Barrett) before making fun of Chris Jericho, AJ Styles and Mark Henry, and claim Xavier Woods is the World's Strongest Man.

Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for February 8, 2016 - Daniel Bryan's Retirement!

On tonight's pre-show, it is reported that Daniel Bryan has announced on Twitter that due to medical reasons, he is announcing his retirement, and that more details are to come later tonight.

We see a video tribute to Daniel Bryan.




Stephanie McMahon starts the show. After shrugging off the "Daniel Bryan" chants, she talks about the Triple Threat Match at Fastlane to decide who faces Triple H and WrestleMania 32. Dean Ambrose shows up and tells Stephanie to get straight to the point and start the contract signing, and calls out Brock Lesnar. Stephanie tries to restore order when Roman Reigns shows up. Roman asks what the hold-up is. Stephanie then introduces Brock Lesnar, who shows up with Paul Heyman. The three men then sign the contract, then Heyman says being attacked by The Authority is nothing compared to being attacked by Brock Lesnar. Ambrose then gets in Lesnar' face, and Lesnar responds by giving a beatdown to both Reigns and Ambrose. Triple H shows up at the top of the ramp, and he and Stephanie are pleased by what Lesnar have done.


We look back at Daniel Bryan's time in the original NXT show back in 2010.

Dolph Ziggler uses the ropes to beat Kevin Owens. Owens is livid after the match.


We look back at Daniel Bryan's United States Championship win at Night of Champions 2010.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) meet The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley). The Dudleys suggest they team up against The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods), for if any one team if worthy of a Tables Match against The New Day, it's The Dudleys. The Usos are up for the idea.

Charlotte will defend the WWE Divas Championship against Brie Bella at Fastlane.

Charlotte beats Alicia Fox with the Figure Eight.


It's official: The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) take on The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) and a mystery partner in an eight-man tag team tables match.

It's time for Miz TV. The Miz is still salty about what AJ Styles did to him on last week's show. As he still talks about it, out comes tonight's guest, Chris Jericho. 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. Miz is involved again, but Jericho takes him out of the equation once more. Both Styles and Jericho then stare down before Jericho leaves.

Dean Ambrose still wants Brock Lesnar. Roman Reigns offers to help him, but Ambrose says he wants Lesnar alone.

Before the next match, The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) mention last night's Super Bowl, and Adam Rose says that tonight's top headline will be the "The Florida Gator" (a reference to Titus O'Neil) getting mutilated by "The Radical Mongoose" (himself).

Adam Rose beats Titus O'Neil after the distraction from Heath Slater after Titus plows through The Social Outcasts (Slater, Rose, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) outside the ring.


We look back at SummerSlam 2013, when Daniel Bryan won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the first time.

Dean Ambrose shows up and mocks the F-5, saying Brock Lesnar can't get the job done. He calls out Lesnar again, telling him to get the job done. He says Suplex City has gone soft, and continue to mock both Lesnar and Paul Heyman. Lesnar and Heyman eventually show up, and Lesnar and Ambrose have a brawl in which Lesnar immediately goes on the warpath and comes up on top. After two F-5's to Ambrose, Lesnar leaves, but Ambrose wants more and Lesnar sees this as he stops and looks back. When he gets back in the ring, Reigns shows up, and Ambrose hits a low blow on a distracted Lesnar. Ambrose lays down on the ramp afterward.


The League of Nations (Alberto Del Rio and Rusev) beat The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto).

After the match, The Dudley Boyz turn on The Usos and put both of them through tables.


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.

Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for February 1, 2016

During the Raw pre-show, Jojo interviews Dolph Ziggler. He says there are far worse ways to spend an evening that riding along with The Miz. Kevin Owens shows up and says there is, like watching Ziggler doing stand-up. Owens then makes fun of the fact that Ziggler was once world champ, and says that drama may be in his future. Ziggler knows they've got one more match, and that it's going to end with him super kicking Owens' face off.

The show begins with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar. Heyman insists that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon concocted a conspiracy to remove him from the WWE World Heavyweight Championship picture, but have failed. Last week, Stephanie did what was "beast" for business by making "brother vs. brother vs. beast" at Fastlane with Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar, with the winner taking on Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 32, and promises Lesnar will conquer both Fastlane and WrestleMania 32. Heyman then makes fun of Dean Ambrose, calling him a "nutjob," before Ambrose himself shows up. Ambrose says he may look crazy, but he's not stupid and he's not scared of Lesnar. He respects Lesnar, but he wants the title, and he'll fight Lesnar and Reigns for it. Ambrose knows full well what he's in for, but he says he will still find a way to win. He then leaves the ring.



Alberto Del Rio guests on commentary for the next match. It is announced that Del Rio will get his championship rematch for the WWE United States Championship against Kalisto at Kalisto.

Kalisto beats Rusev by count-out.



Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are taking a look at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship when Stephanie McMahon appears. Roman says that either him or Dean will be #1 contender after Fastlane, and that Stephanie and Triple H's days with the title are numbered. Stephanie tells Dean he doesn't exactly want to go to Suplex City, reminds him and Roman of the time Seth Rollins turned on them, and tries to drive a wedge between Roman and Dean while trying to shake their confidence before putting them in a tag team match tonight against The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods).



Renee Young interviews Brie Bella. She says the doctors are confident that Nikki Bella will get better soon. Charlotte shows up, talks about how she beat Nikki for the Divas Championship, then gloats about how she beat Nikki and how Nikki will start the next chapter of her life "sitting at home and enjoying online shopping" before walking away.

Before the next match, The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Adam Rose) cut a promo where they call themselves "the tightest group of brothers in the WWE," but realize Bo Dallas is missing. Slater says "Bo Rida" is in the studio cutting an album, then say they're going to beat The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). Also, Lilian Garcia accidentally botches The Usos' introduction, saying they are Grammy Award winners and not Slammy Award winners.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The Social Outcasts (Curtis Axel and Adam Rose).



It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's guest is AJ Styles. After a tale about how AJ Styles made it in high school football before moving on to wrestling, and recapping what AJ Styles has done in WWE as of late, he wonders where AJ Styles will go from here. He then says that AJ Styles reminds him of Daniel Bryan, who he took under his own wing and guided to greatness, and wants to become AJ's mentor. All the while, Miz refuses to hand the microphone over to AJ Styles. As the crowd boos, The Miz says that AJ Styles will fail if he continues to listen to the WWE Universe. When Miz says Styles has no chance in hell of succeeding without him, AJ Styles gets up and proceeds to beat him up for implying he is a rookie, forcing Miz to retreat.



WWE celebrates Black History Month.

WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder is in the crowd tonight.

Brie Bella beats Charlotte despite the distraction attempt by Ric Flair after reversing the Figure Eight into a roll-up.



It is announced that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart has revealed that he is currently battling prostate cancer.

SmackDown Hotel! - Thursday Night SmackDown recap for October 29, 2015

The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) is on the TitanTron. They brag about beating down Kane and The Undertaker, as Bray Wyatt says he owns both of their souls. Wyatt then challenges three souls brave enough to take them on tonight.


Roman Reigns shows up. He has one goal right now: to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He says he's been knocked down a lot, and that there's nobody else who wants him to fail more than Seth Rollins. Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up, and calls Roman Reigns' victory in the Fatal Four-Way match on Monday night a fluke, saying he was this close to winning it. Rollins tells him it was straight skill, and challenges Owens to a match. A referee gets in the ring, and after a bit of hesitation, Owens takes the challenge. This starts the match.

Renee Young (dressed as Tinkerbell) gets a surprise encounter with Dean Ambrose, who says he is answering The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) challege tonight, and is interested in who else steps up. Also, Bo Dallas - or "Boo" Dallas, if you prefer - tries to dress up in a ghost sheet and scare Renee. It doesn't work.

Triple H then states that Rollins has "cleaned out the WWE," and sets up a series of matches with the winners entering a Fatal Four-Way match to decide the #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship tonight, and the winner will get to take on Seth Rollins.

Saturday Night's Main Event - Main Event recap for October 10, 2015

Kevin Owens shows up. He says that near the end of the year, everyone will wonder who the Superstar of the Year for 2015 will be. Owens calls himself the only right answer, as he won the NXT two months after debuting, beat John Cena on his first night on the main roster, recently beat Ryback for the WWE Intercontinental Championship and beat Chris Jericho at his first-ever appearance in Madison Square Garden last week. He considers the last reason a big deal, but when he watched it back on WWE Network (which he gets for free, because he's a big deal), he noticed that commentary was talking more about Jericho than him. He then chews out Byron Saxton, who was one of the commentators that night, and calls him "rude," "disrespectful," "a bully," and "disgusting," and says that Byron bullies him on commentary every time he appears. Jimmy Uso is shaking his head, and Owens notices this, asking Jimmy if he has anything to say about this, and says that he probably does because he's been hiding behind that table for months, and that he wouldn't want to get hurt. This leads Jimmy to confront Owens in the ring, and Kevin Owens tells him to think about what he's doing. He gets in the ring anyway, takes the mic away from Owens and tells him he's done talking. Kevin Owens takes off when it's obvious a fight is about to break out.

Kevin Owens vs. Jimmy Uso is official for later tonight.

Naomi beats Paige.

Kevin Owens beats Jimmy Uso.
