The March 16, 2015 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw emanates live from the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, and begins with Seth Rollins, J&J Security, Big Show, and Kane.
Rollins makes fun of the Iowa crowd and talks about Randy Orton's betrayal and beat down of him last week. Rollins says The Viper mocked him as he tormented him.
Mr. Money in the Bank claims Orton's betrayal was nothing like Rollins' betrayal of The Shield, which he claims was a business decision while Orton's was a calculated, personal attack. Rollins is also upset that The Authority let Orton back into the group.
Big Show gets on the mic and apologizes to Rollins for his absence last week. Kane gets on the mic and says Orton also duped him, and he will pay.
Jamie Noble says he knew something was wrong when Orton came back, and Joey Mercury refuses to take the microphone. Big Show hugs him.

Orton emerges and says he made Rollins look like a little bitch last week. He accepts Rollins' challenge for tonight even though he knows this will be a 5-on-1 match. But he has enough to dish out for everyone in the Authority and he'll take out the future of WWE at Mania.
Nikki Bella defeats AJ Lee in an approximately eight-minute match with the Rack Attack. Paige, at ringside, calls Brie Bella, also at ringside, an idiot, and Brie tosses Paige into the ringpost. This distracts AJ, which allows Nikki to pick up the win.
Renee Young interviews Kane and Big Show, and Kane says Show will be in Rollins' corner tonight. Show takes exception to this and the two argue. Rollins comes in and says this is a stupid fight. Big Show gets in Rollins' face and Kane calms him down. Kane says he enjoyed watching Orton destroy Rollins last week, and neither of them will be in his corner tonight.

John Cena and Rusev come out for their contract signing. Cena talks about Rusev's lack of respect for America and says he will bring the title home at WrestleMania 31.
Rusev then comes out without Lana, instead with some other guy. A "we want Lana" chant starts. The guy takes the mic and says he is Rusev's attorney, He says Rusev will not face Cena at Mania because Stephanie McMahon said only Rusev could make the match official, but Lana was the one who agreed to the match last week.
Rusev gets on the microphone and reads a message that trashes America. Cena gets angry and dropkicks the table, which sends Rusev and his attorney out of the ring.

He hits the ring and people start tossing each other out until Mark Henry and Kane are left. Henry lifts Kane onto the apron, but Curtis Axel comes from behind and tries to dump Henry over. The World's Strongest Man chucks Axelmania over the top rope.
Paul Heyman hits the ring and calls Lesnar the most credible champion in WWE or MMA history. He says Lesnar views the rules and regulations of the title match as weak. He says Lesnar is not coming to WrestleMania 31 to make love, but he's coming to make war on Roman Reigns.
But what happens when Lesnar violates those rules? Will they shut off the feed to the pay-per-view and the WWE Network? Will they give the people their money back? No, because we're all stuck with Lesnar as our WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Heyman's mic cuts out and when it comes back on, he says they can silence Heyman, but not Lesnar. No one can stop Lesnar, not even Roman Reigns. Heyman says Reigns was the guy who was the star in NXT, was the badass of The Shield, won the Royal Rumble, and got past Daniel Bryan. But he's a "Samoan AmeriCAN'T." Heyman screams that Reigns can't beat Lesnar at WrestleMania 31.
Reigns' music hits and he heads to the ring in a shirt that says "I Can. I Will." Reigns says he respects Heyman, possibly the best talker ever in this business. But he doesn't think Heyman is talking trash because he's giving everyone fair warning of where he comes from. So his issue is with Lesnar, so he turns to the camera and addresses him.
He says he hopes for a war at WrestleMania 31 and he knows he'll be carried out of there, but he has a big family to help him out of the arena. He tells Lesnar that he's going to beat his ass at Mania and walk out with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder right next to the big chip he has on it. He says he hears all these people telling him he can't, including the guys right behind him chanting Daniel Bryan's name. But he'll beat Lesnar at Mania because he can, he will, and he believes that.
Renee Young catches Paul Heyman backstage and asks for his thoughts on Reigns' comments. Heyman says Reigns wants to play chess with the chess master, but it's checkmate because he'll bring Lesnar face to face with Reigns next week on Raw.

Each man tries to steal the Intercontinental Championship belt, and all seven men brawl. BNB delivers three Bullhammers and takes back his belt. He hits Truth with one for good measure.
Backstage, Rollins asks Triple H and Stephanie McMahon what they're going to do to fix this situation. They say he's on his own, and Triple H gets in his face after Rollins says it's Stephanie's fault for sending Show and Kane away last week. He also makes a crack about Triple taking a break from playing hide-and-seek with Sting. Stephanie tells him to man up if he can, and Hunter tells him to leave before his situation gets worse.
Bray Wyatt cuts another fantastic promo on The Undertaker.
Orton comes out for his match with Rollins, followed by Mr. Money in the Bank. Rollins says it took three weeks for Orton to make The Authority look foolish, but it took Rollins just three hours to dupe The Viper. The entire Authority comes out, so Orton grabs a chair to defend himself.
