Episode Recap: February 19, 2015

Daniel Bryan continued his victory streak as he once again faced The Miz after last week's epic Tag Team Turmoil. The Awesome One didn't feel so awesome after he tapped out to The Beard's crowd-pleasing "Yes!" lock.

Bryan's upcoming WWE Fastlane opponent, Roman Reigns, also scored a victory as he defeated Luke Harper via Spear.

It ended up being bad news for Bad News Barrett when the Intercontinental Champion fell to R-Truth in a non-title match. Dean Ambrose joined the SmackDown announce team for this contest, and the unnerving presence of Barrett's upcoming WWE Fastlane opponent allowed the rapping Superstar to move in for the win.

It was a bad day for The New Day when Big E. & Xavier Woods attempted to stop the ascension of The Ascension, but Konnor & Viktor continued their meteoric rise in the WWE ranks with a Fall of Man finisher.

Jimmy Uso vs. Tyson Kidd ended in a No Contest as the match was interrupted by Rusev, who responded to his Raw beatdown at the hands of John Cena by assaulting both the Usos and Cesaro & Kidd. Whoa!

Finally, it was a big night for The Authority, with Big Show decimating Erick Rowan and Seth Rollins defeating Dolph Ziggler (via Curb Stomp), though Ryback bested Kane with a Shell Shock. The six will meet again at WWE Fastlane in a Six-Man Tag Team Match.

Oh, and is there any stopping Paige? The Diva of Tomorrow defeated Cameron, making for quite the prelude to her challenging Nikki Bella for the Divas Championship at WWE Fastlane on Sunday.
