Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for August 10, 2015

Seth Rollins shows up to welcome us all to "Monday Night Rollins" to start the show. He makes fun of John Cena, then makes a reference to the "Straight Outta" meme that has hit the Internet recently by saying that Cena is "straight outta action." He says that if Cena wants to forfeit the WWE United States Championship to him, he can, so he can hold the United States and World Heavyweight titles at the same time. He also makes fun of John Cena's appearance on Tough Enough tomorrow night, saying Cena isn't tough enough to take him on. He then finds out from ring crew that John Cena is here tonight...via satellite. Cena's face, complete with broken nose, shows up on the TitanTron. However, it's all a trick, as Seth Rollins' mouth is on top of Cena's and it is Rollins' voice that makes fun of Cena and makes him look like a weakling. As Rollins talks to "Cena," Cesaro shows up and interrupts Rollins and challenges him to a match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. As Rollins asks Cesaro what he's done to deserve a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, Kevin Owens shows up and says Cesaro has done nothing, makes fun of the "Cesaro Section" signs, and says that he himself has beaten John Cena while Rollins has tapped out to him. Shortly afterwards, Randy Orton shows up and says he's deserving of a World Heavyweight title shot as well. Rollins tells all three of them they're getting nothing, says they're all deaf and dumb, and tells them to get out of his ring.

All of a sudden, Ryback's music hits...and Ryback has officially returned. Ryback and Big Show stare down, and Daniel Bryan tosses Miz in-between them.

He says that Seth Rollins is the only man who can slow him down, and says that he is too sympathetic for his own good, citing when he broke Cena's nose last week as a perfect example of that. He says he will never lose a match in the fashion that he lost against Cena last week ever again. He then makes a proposition to Cena: they go at it again with both titles on the line at SummerSlam. He then brags about this being the site of himself winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship as well as John Cena's first ever United States Open Challenge, and decides to make an open challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship...right now.

As for Cesaro, Owens thinks he's jealous of him, then Cesaro shows up as if on cue. Cesaro says he's just here for a front row seat to hear what "Walk Owens Walk" has to say. Owens says Cesaro is jealous of him as he has succeeded where Cesaro has failed, and says Cesaro will never match up to him. Cesaro says he's not jealous; instead, he's ashamed and embarassed of him for being such a coward. Owens responds by saying he's done more in WWE in three months than Cesaro has in three years, and if he wants to go, let's go. Miz gets excited, and both Owens and Cesaro tell him to shut up.

As for continuously bragging about Brock Lesnar breaking The Streak, he mentions all of the big names that tried and failed where Lesnar did not.

He says Brock Lesnar is the most vicious Superstar out there, but he's still standing, yet the WWE Universe still disrespects him like they always have. He says he has faced every challenge in front of him and walked away with the title each and every time, and that he is the "be all, end all" of champions in this industry. He still feels he was robbed by Undertaker and Lesnar, however, and tells Lillian Garcia to come into the ring and announce that he is still the World Heavyweight Champion. She does...then John Cena shows up. He tells the WWE Universe they no longer have to deal with Rollins' crap. Rollins congratulates Cena on last night's win, and gives him a hard time for the open challenges. Cena congratulates Rollins for forcing him into the road to being the United States champ, congratulates him on being a slimy excuse of a champion, and tells him that his actions make people lose faith in the World Heavyweight title and gain faith in the United States title.

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.

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.

SmackDown Hotel! - WWE SmackDown recap for April 2, 2015

Seth Rollins, accompanied by Big Show, Kane and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble), starts the show. It is announced that JBL, Michael Cole and Booker T will be back next Monday on Raw. Rollins gets us up to speed on what happened Monday between him and Brock Lesnar when Randy Orton suddenly shows up. He still wants that WWE World Heavyweight Championship rematch, and he wants it from Rollins. Rollins says he'll do it on his time. After Orton takes potshots at everybody in the ring, Kane puts Orton in a match tonight against Big Show, and the match happens next. If Orton wins, Kane says that maybe they'll reconsider his title shot opportunity.

Randy Orton vs. Big Show quickly ends when J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) interfere. Kane and Seth Rollins join in on the fun, but Ryback makes the save. Rollins retreats, but everyone else gets Shell Shocked or RKO'd.

Dolph Ziggler is not cleared to compete, so Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan vs. Bad News Barrett and Sheamus is now just D-Bry vs. Sheamus.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) guest on commentary for the next match.

Naomi beats Natalya.

The office is then stinked up by Dean Ambrose, who used Kane's executive bathroom. Kane responds by pitting him against Luke Harper tonight.

Roman Reigns talks about his WrestleMania 31 match. He came out swinging, but he came up short.

The Miz beats R-Truth. After the match, Mizdow runs in and hits Miz with the Skull Crushing Finale.

John Cena shows up. He swears that the United States title will be a respectable title again, and while taking nothing away from Rusev, calls Rusev "unthankful" for his American opportunity and "the world's biggest douche." Cena says he will defend the title against anyone, and will issue open challenges for anyone who wants to take him on for the United States Championship weekly. Suddenly, Rusev and Lana show up, calling Cena unworthy of the title and half the man Rusev is. Rusev insists he did not lose at WrestleMania 31, stating he is still America's champion. After calling Cena a coward, Rusev says this is his world, and that Cena will be crushed at Extreme Rules. Rusev approaches the ring and waves the Russian flag, but when he points at the ceiling of the arena, the flag doesn't come down...until Cena does the same, and an American flag comes down above the ring. Cena tells Rusev he'll get what's coming to him at Extreme Rules.
