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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Roman calls out Vince McMahon, but Stephanie says he's not here yet but will be there in time to referee his WWE World Heavyweight Championship defense against Sheamus. Roman makes it clear that nobody will take the World Heavyweight title from him, as if he loses it, he loses his job and can't provide for his family. Stephanie laughs, saying nobody competes against Vince and wins, that charges against Vince have been dropped, and that "she's the boss and he's the help." Stephanie then says she plans to use him until he can't be used anymore once he loses the title, just like Vince used his father, but Roman tells her to worry about Vince, because if he is screwed out of the title tonight, Stephanie will be picking Vince up from a hospital instead of a jail cell.

SmackDown Hotel! - Thursday Night SmackDown recap for November 19, 2015

It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's guests are Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio, and Owens shows up as Miz is about to introduce them. Owens says he plans to turn Miz TV into "The Kevin Owens Show," and plans to become "The Man" when he takes the World Heavyweight title at Survivor Series. Alberto Del Rio and Zeb Colter show up and immediately calls The Miz a "hater," then refuse to take part in Miz TV so they don't fall for any "gotcha questions." He then make fun of Kevin Owens being from Canada before Del Rio says there will be a place for people like Owens in Mexamerica. Owens tells Del Rio that nobody missed him while he was gone. Dean Ambrose shows up, and it's clear he has respect for Del Rio and Owens, then tells Del Rio that if he has to go through him this Sunday, he will. He also dares Owens to take his best shot. Roman Reigns shows up...and so does R-Truth, who thinks he's in the tournament, and Miz has to remind him he's never been in it. Truth apologizes, then leaves. Miz then complains about how everyone shows up before being introduced, and that he's not facing anyone in the semi-finals. Dean Ambrose then punches Miz in the face.

Strowman says that he will crumble Kane and The Undertaker (whom he calls legends of a bygone era) to dust and bring apocalypse in the name of Bray Wyatt. The Undertaker's presence then enters the arena, and The Undertaker is on the TitanTron. He tells Bray Wyatt that he thinks he has all the cards, but he's playing with a dead man's hand. Kane then appears on the TitanTron holding a burning sheep mask, and says "Ashes to ashes, they all fall down." Undertaker then says "...and they all rest in peace."

Kane says that a special place in the deepest pit of Hell has been reserved for The Family, and that they will burn in the fires of eternal damnation. 'Taker then says The Wyatt's evil is no match for theirs, and that their evil is time tested over and over again. He dares Bray Wyatt to pick two people to fight them, making it clear that whoever he picks will be decimated. The Wyatt Family show up, and Bray Wyatt says that 25 years is long enough and that it is time for a new army of darkness...his.

Charlotte says they were family, especially when her little brother Reid passed away and Paige was there for her when it happened. Paige tells Charlotte she used her since day one. Charlotte also says she wanted Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte, Becky Lynch) to change the Divas Division, but Paige wrecked it with her ego. She also says Paige was never a champion, as she was never a good role model. After Paige makes fun of both her dad Ric Flair and her little brother Reid, saying that Reid didn't have much fight in him and that her family won't be there for her at Survivor Series, Charlotte goes off and beats the crap out of Paige, and officials have to separate the both of them.


After Raw went off the air, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns met in the ring. Ambrose says they're brothers now, but at Survivor Series, when they both go through Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio respectively, it's on. Roman says that no matter what, they'll always be brothers.
