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.

All of a sudden, The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) spoil the fun and attack The New Day.

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.

No sooner do they say this that the "Rooty Tooty Booty" chants start, and The New Day shame Jericho. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) show up to interrupt The New Day, wondering why they're the ones with the Tag Team Slammys when The New Day say they're the real best tag team in the WWE, and challenge them to a match. The New Day says there's three of them and only two Usos, but Jericho ups the ante by joining The Usos in their corner.

Stephanie McMahon shows up to start the show, but she doesn't even make it down the entrance ramp when Roman Reigns' music hits. Stephanie makes her way to the ring and looks for Roman while Roman makes her way to the ring. She finds him, and the two stare down before they both enter the ring. 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.

Dean Ambrose guests on commentary for the next match.

Kevin Owens beats Neville. After the match, Kevin Owens attacks Neville, but Dean Ambrose goes after Owens.

Reigns then dares Rollins to come into the ring and prove he's a real man. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up and ask if the WWE Universe want the match to be official and for the World Heavyweight Championship.

He says a body is temporary, but the soul is forever unless it is consumed by a higher power. Bray considers himself that higher power, and he uses the souls of 'Taker and Kane to summon fire and lightning to unleash devastation. We then see an interesting video package of Kane and The Undertaker through the years, before Bray tells us to follow the buzzards.

He plans to break both men as well as Cena's spirit and Sting's career, and show Sting why he is the past and Rollins is the now. As for tonight, he plans to make some history by teaming with Sheamus - current Money In The Bank briefcase holder - against his former Shield brothers, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. As for why he would team with Sheamus? Not any man would be okay with that, but "the man" would be okay with that, saying it is wise to keep his friends close and his enemies closer. As he discounts the kind of threat that Sheamus would bring to the World title, Sheamus shows up, intrigued by the "keeping friends close and enemies closer" concept and asks what Rollins considers him, telling Rollins he doesn't want him to be his enemy. Nevertheless, Sheamus insists that when he cashes in, Rollins won't see it coming, but Rollins says he will, and that he agrees with the WWE Universe that Sheamus looks stupid. Sheamus tells Rollins they won't make the main event if he keeps making those kinds of insults, and is actually looking forward to it as he plans to scout Rollins out during the match, all while jokingly referring to Rollins as his "friend."

Owens shows up soon after Ryback says that, and Owens talks about how Ryback mentioned how the book "The Secret" helped him overcome tough times as well as recent injury. Owens has read the book - which he has brought with him - and says he feels sorry for him and anybody who's read "this piece of garbage." Ryback says the only piece of garbage he sees is Owens, who says the book is an excuse and a crutch for weak people. He can't blame Ryback for reading it, but he can blame him for being both the strongest and the weakest guy in the locker room, and says it's a travesty that he's the Intercontinental Champion.

The Declaration of Independence was written and signed on a table. Walter Cronkite announced the moon landing while sitting at a table. The New Day signed their contracts at a table. They say The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) has zero regard for tables, and that they and the WWE Universe can change that by joining the #SaveTheTables movement.

Summer repeats her claims that she made to Renee Young earlier this week on Raw...then admits she lied. Miz asks if what she said earlier this week was a complete fabrication, Summer says there's actually more. She says that Ziggler brought her close in his arm and kissed her, and that it went from passion to guilt because she has the most amazing man in Rusev and she was seduced by Ziggler, which caused her to run out of his locker room as quickly as she could. Ziggler and Lana show up as Summer speaks. The Miz tells Ziggler and Lana to calm down, and tells everyone to act like adults on his show. Ziggler makes it clear that he and Lana trust each other, and Summer responds by saying she and him have had a thing for a while now. Ziggler denies that, but Summer responds with some footage from June 2014, when she dropped Fandango to kiss Ziggler, and Ziggler kissed her back.

Seth Rollins shows up. 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.
