WWE
Raw (May 13th)
Fandango and Chris Jericho started the show with a dance off. But disaster struck when Summer Rae twisted her ankle. However, she was feigning the injury and it was a set up so Fandango could attack Jericho from behind and lay him out.
Ryback squashed Zack Ryder with the Shell Shock.
The Prime Time Players defeated Tons of Funk when illegal man Darren Young hit Brodus Clay in the throat with his hair pick and Titus O'Neil rolled up Clay from behind for the pinfall victory.
Teddy Long announced that the injured Dolph Ziggler wouldn't be stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship. Instead, Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio would have an I Quit match for the number one contendership at Extreme Rules.
Kofi Kingston pinned Damien Sandow with the Trouble in Paradise.
Mark Henry demonstrated how he would win his strap match at Extreme Rules against Sheamus on interviewer Josh Matthews. This eventually led to the Irish fella coming out with his own strap and chasing Henry out of the ring with it.
Randy Orton pinned Antonio Cesaro with the RKO.
The Miz submitted Heath Slater with the figure four leglock.
In a Six Man Tag Elimination Match between The Shield and Team Hell No & John Cena, the babyfaces won when Cena was the sole survivor. Kane was the first man eliminated when he was disqualified for using the cover to the announcer's table as a weapon on Dean Ambrose. Ambrose then eventually pinned Daniel Bryan with the Headlock Driver. It was then time for Superman Cena to overcome the odds. First Roman Reigns was eliminated by disqualification when he speared Cena to save Ambrose from the Attitude Adjustment, then Seth Rollins was pinned with the AA and finally Ambrose was disqualified when his henchmen saved him from Cena's STFU. After the match, The Shield took Cena out with their triple power bomb finisher, which led to Ryback coming out to opportunistically nail his opponent at Extreme Rules with a chair shot to his injured ankle.
Jack Swagger defeated Big E Langston via count out when Langston was back dropped over the barricade when he went for a charge outside the ring. After the match, Alberto Del Rio did a run in, but Swagger beat him down and put him in the ankle lock. However, Ricardo Rodriguez made the save by hitting Swagger with a bucket, allowing Del Rio to recover and lock the arm bar on the Real American. Langston broke the hold up, but Alberto still cleaned house with an enzuigiri on Big E and a clothesline over the top on Swagger.
AJ Lee submitted Natalya with the Black Widow (an octopus-esque hold). During the match, Kaitlyn, who was doing colour commentary with the Bella Twins, received another gift from her secret admirer.
Chris Jericho cut a full on serious mode promo on Fandango saying that the dancing and jokes are over with.
Triple H called out Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman, of course) and eventually goaded him into a stare down and a brawl inside the steel cage surrounding the ring, which Hunter got the better of to close the show.
NXT (May 15th)
Summer Rae pinned Natalya when Paige accidentally cost Natalya the match. The finish saw the Anti-Diva come out and jump on the apron while Natalya attempted to apply the Sharpshooter on Rae, which led to Rae pushing Natalya into Paige and pinning her with a schoolgirl.
Newcomer Sami Zayn complimented interviewer Renee Young on her wardrobe in a promo to set up his debut next week against Curt Hawkins.
Bray Wyatt sporting a new look by wearing a white plastic face guard and a leather butcher's apron squashed Danny Burch.
During a segment where they teased tension between tag team partners Bo Dallas and Adrian Neville and possibly a heel turn by young Bo, it was announced that there would be a battle royal in two weeks that will determine the number one contender for the NXT title.
