Jeff Hardy congratulates Rockstar Spud for last week.

Kurt Angle beats Bobby Roode with the Ankle Lock Submission.

After the match, Bobby Roode says that there is no shame in losing to Kurt Angle, and thanks Kurt for everything he's done. "The Cowboy" James Storm shows up and thanks Angle as well, calling him a TNA legend and saying that their friendship has been priceless. The three of them have a toast, Angle with a half-gallon of milk and Roode and Storm with some wine. Angle says he wants to see Beer Money (Roode and Storm) take on The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards). The Wolves show up, and Davey Richards calls Kurt Angle the one constant in his life and career. As for The Wolves vs. Beer Money for the TNA World Tag Team Championships, he's all for it.

Matt Hardy shows up with Reby Sky and Tyrus. He says he came into the cage with one mission: beat Ethan Carter III. He then says he is done with EC3 and that he owns him. He then congratulates the man who helped him beat EC3 last night: Rockstar Spud. Spud shows up, clad completely in black and leather, says the audience would have sold out too if they lived in England their entire lives. He then turns on the fans for cheering for EC3, saying not one person stood up for him when he needed it most. Spud says he did the right thing: take from him what he's always wanted and craved, which is the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. After putting Matt and his family on a pedestal, he calls Matt the greatest TNA World Heavyweight Champion of all time, as well as the one the company needs and deserves. As Spud talks about how they "got rid of the cancer," EC3 shows up, clearing the ring and taking down both Matt Hardy. Spud tries to attack EC3 from behind, but runs when his attack has no effect. EC3 then challenges Spud to a fight tonight.

Maria shows up and says she's proud of the lesson she taught her: that she would be just like Gail if she got in the ring last week. She then says Gail wants to be like her, but Gail calls her "a crazy-ass bitch" and says she's nothing like her. Maria says Gail married a celebrity chef, then says she herself enjoys being a celebrity. Gail says the crowd wants to see her fight and chases Maria to the back, but Jade attacks Gail from behind and eventually hits her with the Knockouts Championship belt. She then tells Gail Kim that she's coming for what's hers.

Eric Young and Bram show up, and both men say that nobody can beat Eric. Eric Young challenges anyone who thinks he can beat him to come down to the ring, and the one to answer is UK indies sensation Big Damo.

Eric Young retains the TNA King of the Mountain Championship against Big Damo.

Drew Galloway tells "The Miracle" Mike Bennett that he will be the one needing the miracle as he will make him tap out.

"The Miracle" Mike Bennett beats Drew Galloway after Maria Kanellis puts Bennett's foot on the rope as Galloway has him in the Iron Maiden. This distracts Galloway, and Bennett rolls him up with a schoolboy for the win.

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.

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 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.

They are on the Road to Wrestlemania and they are cruising fast. Curtis Axel says he already ran over R-Truth at Fastlane. Adam says they were like four shiny Harley Davidsons revving their engines. They showed Chris Jericho and AJ Styles that they own the road. Before Bo can speak, Adam says the missing piece of the puzzle is matching biker jackets. Curtis Axel wants to know why they would need matching biker jackets. Heath likes the idea and has one in his locker room.

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.

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.

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.
