Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for February 29, 2016

JUST A HEADS UP: No videos for this week. I know. I need to get better on these blogs. Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of the posts that I have set up for the week of 2/29-3/5/16!!!


Triple H makes his appearance to start tonight's show. Triple H says only few have it, and the rest bow down to it. That "it" is authority, and he plays to the people's fear to being destroyed by authority in order to know their place in life. He says that Roman should have known his place, as challenging and disrespecting him has led him to sitting at home breathing through his mouth. All of a sudden, Dean Ambrose shows up. He says he just got off the phone with Roman Reigns, and says that Roman told him he's coming for Triple H. Ambrose said he wanted to talk to him Triple H last week, but all the craziness from last week put a stop to that. Ambrose wants to know who Triple H wanted to see - or not see - win the Triple Threat match at Fastlane. Triple H says he didn't see Ambrose winning, but Ambrose asks if Triple H can see him now. Triple H is convinced Ambrose is legitimately crazy, and that Triple H is smart enough not to get in the ring with someone like him because - according to Ambrose - Triple H doesn't think he can beat him. Ambrose then challenges Triple H to a match tonight for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Triple H says he's the authority figure around here, but he says he'll think about it and give him an answer by the end of the night. Ambrose says he has other things to do, and Triple H says he's right, because Ambrose is going up against Alberto Del Rio tonight in an attempt to teach him what authority is.


Charlotte watches from ringside for the next match.

Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks to determine a #1 contender for the WWE Divas Championship ends with both women's shoulders down on the mat after Sasha Banks hits a Sunset Flip on Becky. Becky is on top of Sasha, but since all four shoulders were down, this match is a draw.



The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) appears. Bray thinks he is either insane or that his mind is key to saving the entire world. He asks the WWE Universe to take his hand and join him.



The Miz quickly beats Dolph Ziggler.



Stephanie McMahon shows up to accept the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award as she intended to last week. She says that Shane McMahon isn't here tonight, and won't be after The Undertaker beats him at WrestleMania 32. She then tries to recite her speech for the award, but everyone keeps booing her and chanting for Shane. Stephanie McMahon finally snaps on the WWE Universe, ticked off with Shane for his actions last week and calling him a regular backstabber. She says it eats Shane alive that she wields power and that she's married to Triple H, and that the thought of working for Shane makes her want to vomit. She hopes that The Undertaker will decimate Shane and force everyone to bow down to her and Triple H.



The League of Nations (Sheamus and Rusev) beat The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) with a distraction from Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio attacks Kalisto after the match.

WWE has surpassed 10 million subscribers on YouTube.

Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) say they're successful because they're a brotherhood. They say they're the greatest three-man team in history and will fight anyone who says otherwise. As they talk about how they go together like other great teams (like Sonic and Tails), Chris Jericho's entrance stops them.



Chris Jericho and AJ Styles beats The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) after Jericho turns a Trouble In Paradise into the Walls of Jericho. After the match, AJ Styles and Chris Jericho make it clear that "Y2AJ" is a thing and challenge The New Day to a match for the tag team titles next week.



Todd Chrisley of Chrisley Knows Best is in the front row with his youngest son.

Vince McMahon shows up. He doesn't like the idea of his son Shane McMahon running the show, and implies that he would ruin everything. He says it will never happen, and that it would take a miracle for Shane to beat The Undertaker. He loves Shane enough to teach him a lesson he'll never, ever forget, and introduces his "implement of destruction," The Undertaker. 'Taker shows up. He puts his hand on Vince's neck and tells him "You know what will happen when the door shuts behind me at WrestleMania...but the blood of your son is gonna be on your hands, not mine." 'Taker leaves. Vince says Shane has not only lost the match, but also his inheritance, which will all go to Stephanie. He even goes so far as to disown and renounce Shane as his son.

Goldust runs into R-Truth, who tells him that Golden Truth isn't going to happen. Goldust just walks away.

Triple H tells Dean he should know that he can never win against The Authority, which causes Dean Ambrose to throw punches at Triple H until he gets hit with a Pedigree. Triple H tells him he has his championship match, and as he leaves the ring, Dean Ambrose thanks Triple H through the microphone. Triple H then returns to the ring to do even more damage to Ambrose, and officials have to pull him off of Ambrose.

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.

AJ Styles, Chris Jericho and Mark Henry beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) with the Calf Crusher on Xavier Woods.

Renee Young interviews Dolph Ziggler, who admits that Kevin Owens got the better of him at Fastlane. He promises to put the WWE Intercontinental Championship around his waist at WrestleMania 32. The Miz shows up and says Renee Young should be asking about his WrestleMania plans, since he headlined it five years ago. Dolph Ziggler tells him that was five years ago, and that everything he's done since then has been largely forgotten. After asking him what he's done lately, Ziggler tells Miz that if he thinks he deserves a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, then he himself doesn't deserve to be a WWE Superstar.

The Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award can be see in the center of the ring at the beginning of the show.

Vince McMahon shows up to present the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award. Vince McMahon talks about his father, then awards the trophy to his daughter, Stephanie McMahon, who shows up to accept it. Vince tells her she was born for this business and embodies all the attributes of his father. As she thanks Triple H for making everything possible, Shane McMahon appears in the WWE for the first time in years. Vince tries to hug him and shake his hand, but Shane stops him, saying that this award is why he's here and that Stephanie isn't deserving of it. Stephanie tells Shane he doesn't know what he's talking about, especially when it comes to running a business like WWE, but Shane tells her that she and Triple H have run the company into the ground. Stephanie tells him to get out, but Shane tells her and Vince that Vince messed up big time a couple of years and he had to save his bacon. In the process, he was able to take some time off and save his place in line. As for Stephanie's rise atop the company ladder in WWE, Shane let it happen. Stephanie wants to know if this is true, and Vince says there's some truth to it. Shane then says it's all true, and at the time...it was best for business. Shane then tells Steph to leave the ring. Stephanie tells Shane she'll never forgive him. Vince tries to cut him a check, thinking it's about money, but Shane says it's not about money, it's about the McMahon legacy...and that he wants control of Monday Night Raw. Vince says if he controls Raw, he controls the entire company, and that he can't just pick up where he left off now that WWE is a publicly traded company. But he cuts him a deal: he'll give Shane what he wants if he has one match...one night...against an opponent of Vince's choosing. If he wins, he gets what he wants. If he loses, Vince wants everything in Shane's lockbox so that Shane can't hold anything over his head ever again. Shane agrees, and Vince names the time and the place: WrestleMania 32. The opponent of Vince's choice is The Undertaker...and it will be Hell in a Cell.





The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) beat Neville and The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) after Kofi grabs at Sin Cara's mask and pulls it off a bit, leading to a distraction that allows him to hit Trouble in Paradise.



Roman Reigns is concerned about Dean Ambrose. All he knows is that they're running tests on him. As for WrestleMania 32, it's just him and Triple H now, and he likes his odds. He promises to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship right then and there.

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up. Heyman begins by putting Lesnar on a pedestal, and gets us up to speed on what happened at Fastlane before showing us that video of Lesnar decimating Dean Ambrose before the show. Heyman says nothing can protect Ambrose from Lesnar, who he says should be in the main event at WrestleMania 32. After Heyman says that Lesnar is looking for a new WrestleMania opponent, the ambulance is seen on the TitanTron returning to the arena...and out comes Dean Ambrose, still in the neck brace and still extremely weak from the beating Lesnar gave him. He drags himself towards the ring. Lesnar meets him outside, then leaves him alone. Ambrose then gets the mic and tells Lesnar to kiss his ass and that he's indestructible. He then says he wants Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 32 in a no-holds-barred street fight. Lesnar then returns and hits Ambrose with an F5 outside the ring. Heyman then tells Ambrose his client accepts his challenge.



Before the next match, The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) show up and tell The Usos they're the most decorated tag team in WWE history, not a nostalgia act, and that their legacy is definied by their tag team title reigns, not the tables, which they say we will never see again. D-Von then tells The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) that Rikishi should have taught them respect instead of buying thongs over and over again. The Usos are about to argue with them when The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) attack them from behind, getting their match underway.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) quickly beat The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor). The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) approach the ring after the match, then back away.

Chris Jericho shows up. He talks about AJ Styles and their three matches including their last one at Fastlane. He has a few more things he wants to say to AJ Styles, so he calls him out. AJ Styles shows up. Jericho admits AJ beat him, then congratulates him for proving that he belongs in the WWE. He calls AJ "phenomenal," then he and AJ shake hands. Suddenly, The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) show up and act sarcastic and unimpressed about the whole thing. They say nobody is buying this and tell them to get out of the ring as they are a real time. Jericho calls The Social Outcasts' bluff and challenges them right now.



Chris Jericho and AJ Styles beat The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater and Curtis Axel) with the Walls of Jericho on Axel as AJ Styles takes down the rest of The Social Outcasts (Slater, Bo Dallas, Adam Rose).

Stephanie McMahon tells Roman Reigns he has a match with Sheamus, and makes fun of his friendship with Dean Ambrose.

Goldust apologizes to R-Truth for what happened last night with a chocolate frosted yellow cake saying "I'm sorry." He almost gets R-Truth to team up with him, but Truth pushes the cake into his face instead.



The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan) beat Ryback, Kane and The Big Show after Ryback walks out on his teammates.



Ryback says he left the match because he had nothing to prove in the rematch from Fastlane, and that he's done being part of tag teams. He wants to go solo again and break the glass ceiling there, and tells Big Show and Kane that it's nothing personal. He wants the spotlight to be on him.

Sasha Banks beats Naomi with the Banks Statement after Becky Lynch takes out Tamina. After the match, Charlotte shows up wearing a top that looks similar to Brie Bella's. She mocks both Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks, and tries to drive a wedge between them as she tries to figure which of them will get a title shot against her at WrestleMania 32.



Stephanie McMahon tells her father Vince McMahon that she doesn't want to work for her brother Shane McMahon. Vince tells her that with this calculated risk he's set up, she won't have to.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

WWE celebrates the career of Mark Henry as part of Black History Month.



Before the next match, Sasha Banks says she's back on her own terms, and that she's tired of waiting for her turn. She is officially on her own and is no longer part of Team BAD with Naomi and Tamina. Naomi and Tamina show up and say there are no hard feelings as they knew she would strike out on her own and make her own mark. Naomi says they can be competitors and still be sisters. The three of them have one more moment of unity together.



Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch when Sasha Banks tells Naomi and Tamina she doesn't want their help in the match. Sasha pushes Naomi and tells the two of them to back off, then Naomi and Tamina attack Sasha.

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.

Corporate Kane is suspended from tonight's show after his actions last week.

Shawn Michaels shows up. He talks about how he was in the first Hell in a Cell Match with The Undertaker way back when, and mentions Sunday night's Hell in a Cell matches. Suddenly, Seth Rollins shows up. He says that The Heartbreak Kid should have started off the second hour of the show by introducing him. Shawn calls Seth a buzzkill, but Seth says the order to introduce him came from Triple H, and then goes on to say that Seth should be talking about him before calling himself "Shawn Michaels version 2" and saying that he's better than the original. Shawn finds this funny, as he was too busy being one of the greatest to ever live to worry about being the second coming of anything. After Shawn namedrops Kane, Seth says that Shawn is jealous of him as his World Heavyweight Championship win eclipsed all of Shawn's WrestleMania moments put together. Seth tells the guys in the back to hit his music, but they don't do it. Shawn tells him that when you're version 2 of anything, they won't do it, and says that Seth isn't going anywhere as he has a match Ryback tonight...and it's up next. Shawn then tells the guys in the back to hit his music...and they do.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is in the ring. He announces that Dean Ambrose is teaming up with Roman Reigns tonight. Roman Reigns shows up, and as soon as he does, The Wyatt Family suddenly make their entrance. Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman are there, but in a strange twist, Erick Rowan is suddenly back from injury and has strangely replaced Luke Harper with absolutely no explanation as to why. Roman gets two chairs ready, and invites Wyatt to the ring. Wyatt carefully gets in the ring and sits down. Roman calls Wyatt a bully, and says that he gets off on 3-on-1 attacks on him. He tells Wyatt that he should be afraid of him as he pushes him repeatedly, then attacks Wyatt before Wyatt can attack him. He takes down Wyatt, Rowan (who is finally mentioned by commentary) and Strowman, and Ambrose rushes in to back up Roman. The Wyatts retreat.

Backstage, Seth Rollins, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have watched the recent promo, and Triple H and Stephanie don't want a handicap match between The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) and the team of Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Rollins volunteers himself to be the third man to go up against The Wyatts after a proposal - and some coaxing - from Shawn Michaels.

Renee Young interviews Seth Rollins, who insists that the next match is not a Shield reunion and that it is about proving he is "the man." He also says he will destroy Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns again if he has to.

John Cena will defend the WWE United States Championship in an open challenge, and Dolph Ziggler, Neville and Cesaro have a rematch against Sheamus, King Barrett and Rusev...both at Hell in a Cell. (The six-man tag match replaces Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper and Braun Strowman as the kick-off match.)

The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) vs. The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) ends with Ambrose saving Reigns by whacking Strowman with a kendo stick.

He knows that Ambrose takes his fight against The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman) seriously. At Hell In A Cell, Ambrose and Orton take on Luke Harper and Braun Strowman.

Bray Wyatt kneels down when Roman is close to him again, and Roman smacks him before he leaves.
