So That Happened: #RAW Recap (04/20/15)

Triple H Returns:

Triple H says a year ago, The Authority was at a crossroads and had to make a decision about the future of WWE. Triple H talks about The Authority finding a man who could lead the WWE into the next generation and be the face of WWE, and that Seth Rollins is that man. Triple H says now it’s time to find the next Seth Rollins and that starts on June 23rd, live on the USA Network with the return of Tough Enough.

Triple H says Tough Enough allows WWE fans to live their dreams of WWE Superstars. Triple H hypes the dream of being a WWE Superstar, hearing your music and the crowd , with millions watching at home.

Triple H says being a WWE Superstar is bigger than any dream you have and that you have the opportunity to live that dream. Triple H tells the fans to send video submissions to WWEToughEnough.com, starting right now and maybe you will be selected as one of the 10 men or 5 women. Triple H says at the end of the season, one man and one woman will be chosen to sign a contract and be WWE Superstars.

Kane comes out. Triple H jokes that Kane is a little bit seasoned to be in Tough Enough. Kane says all week he’s left voicemails, text messages and e-mails. Triple H says he was just letting Kane cool off.

Kane tells Triple H that it’s been an honor to serve The Authority as Director Of Operations, but he can no longer deal with the constant disrespect of the man he helped become WWE World Heavweight Champion, Seth Rollins. Kane tells Triple H that since he is putting his fate in Seth Rollins, a man Kane feels isn’t worth the investment; he has no choice but to give Triple H his two weeks’ notice.

Triple H tells Kane that he wants to talk about this in the back and work this out, but Seth Rollins interrupts. Rollins calls out Kane on his comments of not being worth the investment. Rollins tells Triple H that if Kane wants to quit, let him quit and The Authority doesn’t need a loser like Kane anyway. Kane tells Rollins that he doesn’t remember Rollins calling him a loser, when Kane chokeslammed him last week.

Triple H tries to tell Seth Rollins and Kane that this is not the time, but Rollins reminds Kane that Kane let Rollins win because it was his job to lose. Rollins says Kane became a coward and did what he was told because that’s what Kane always does.

Kane snaps on Seth Rollins saying he’s nothing but a spoiled little punk, who has been giving everything and thinks that he’s earned it. Kane screams at Rollins, saying the only reason Rollins is champion is because The Authority made him champion. Kane reminds Rollins that he handed him the Money In The Bank Contract.

Kane asks Seth Rollins if he thinks anything would be different if they recruited Dean Ambrose instead of him. Kane goes one step further and says if The Authority wanted, they could’ve made El Torito the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
