Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 14, 2024

Rhea Ripley heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Rhea says she is not done with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez and that this will not end until she wins back the Women's World Championship. She then calls them out to whup their asses if they are done running. Tiffany Stratton shows up instead, and delivers a message from Nia Jax: stay out of her business, or else she will have a big problem. Rhea says she does not have time for this, and says she either gets her hands on Liv and Morgan or she can welcome her to Raw "the Rhea Ripley way." As they argue, they are attacked by Liv and Raquel. Liv smacks the Money In The Bank Briefcase across Tiffany's back before she and Raquel stand tall.

We see a vignette for Damage CTRL (Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane) vs. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.

Backstage, Rhea Ripley meets with General Manager Adam Pearce, and states that she wants Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez tonight. Pearce allows it, but tells Rhea that she must have a tag team partner, and when Rhea wonders who will even tag with her, Tiffany Stratton shows up. Pearce asks "What about her?" Rhea says "Fine." Tiffany asks "What does that mean?" Pearce says "You will figure it out."

Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson are seen in the crowd before the next match.

Finn finds out that he not only gets no rematch with Damian Priest, but that a tournament has been made to find new #1 contenders for the World Tag Team Championships. Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio and Carlito meet with Finn Balor and JD McDonagh, and after Finn leaves, Carlito and McDonagh are introduced to Raquel Rodriguez, much to the delight of Carlito.

We see another vignette for American Made (Chad Gable, Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, Ivy Nile). Chad Gable defines "greatness" before declaring that American Made is it. Brutus Creed agrees, and Ivy Nile says the locker room has a chance to get their teeth kicked in. Julius says they are sick and tired of "entitled degenerates" looking for hand-outs. Gable says America and the fans need a hero and that they are hero, and that they will show what it means to be "American Made."

We see a vignette for Bron Breakker, who says that he turned his back on "Main Event" Jey Uso because Jey walked into the biggest lottery of his life when they faced off for the Intercontinental Championship, and out of respect, he shook his hand and congratulated him only for Jey to throw it back in his face and refuse to respect him. He says that they are not the same, as he is not carrying on his family name like Jey is, and if Jey wants to do things on his own, then he will take an ass whupping on his own when he comes back for the Intercontinental Championship.

In footage from last Saturday, General Manager Adam Pearce holds a meeting with "Big" Bronson Reed. Bronson wants to get down to business, but Pearce chastises him for how he treated the referees during the Last Monster Standing Match. Bronson apologizes if his actions crossed a line, but in a match like that, no one can stop him, and that he would have won had it not been for Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Bronson says he did all this to get to the main event, and that he wants the spotlight and the one-on-one match with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, stating that there will be no trouble if he gets it. Pearce says that if they are on the same page, then he will talk to Rollins. Bronson says Pearce is a smarter negotiator than he thought he was.

Ivar and Erik return from injury for the next match, now known as "The War Raiders."

The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) beat Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa) to advance in the World Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders' Tournament.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce meets with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, telling him that he has only had six matches this year and that he has not been healthy for any of them. Rollins says he knows what he signed up for and that he knows why Bronson Reed is doing what he is doing. He then says that he is at the top of the food chain and that Bronson has forgotten that, and that he has beaten the best of the best. He says he must have the match with Bronson, but at the same time, the best version of himself is needed.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring. He says that to see where you are going, you must see where you have been, and he is proud to be in a city with a rich professional wrestling history in St. Louis, Missouri. He then says there has been more recent history, as not too long ago, something genuinely changed his life for the better, as it was where "We Want Cody" was heard for the first time. Cody thanks the fans of St. Louis very much for the support, then Gunther heads to the ring. Gunther says that he usually trash talks his opponent, but he has nothing negative to say about Cody, as the current wrestling boom has been built off Cody's back, as he has been everywhere and has been "the quarterback of this operation." He says there is not many people he respects in WWE, but Cody is one of the people he respects. Gunther then mentions that Cody loves to be everybody's darling, and because of that, Kevin Owens has realized that "everyone's friend" is "no one's real friend." Gunther then states that he expects the best version of Cody. Cody takes this as his greatest weakness being his greatest strength, and says that he has seen what happens when Gunther throws everything from his arsenal at his opponents and they keep coming back: he gets uncomfortable, and he breaks. Cody admits that he has respect for Gunther, but Gunther is in deep water and his feet have only touched the bottom of the pool. Gunther says that this is "spoken like a secondary champion," and Cody says that while Gunther has become a frightening beast, he has already slain a frightening beast. Cody and Gunther shake hands, and Gunther says "Good luck to me...the champion."

In backstage footage from after last week's show, Xavier Woods has been unhappy with the lack of success that he has had as of late.

We hear from Dragon Lee, who talks about his career in WWE so far, and says that while it has not always been easy, he becomes better with every setback, and he becomes more capable of surpassing his greatest expectation and proves that he belongs and is destined to fly. We then see Dragon Lee sprout computer generated dragon wings before his eyes glow and he flies off.

Bron Breakker beats Kofi Kingston. After the match, Bron Breakker is about to attack Kofi Kingston again when Xavier Woods runs in and makes the save. Bron Breakker leaves, but then rushes back in the ring and attacks Xavier Woods. All of a sudden, "Main Event" Jey Uso runs into the ring and fights off Bron Breakker, and Breakker pretends to retreat. He checks on Kofi and Woods, then Breakker gets back on the ring apron and Jey superkicks him off it.

Backstage, Rhea Ripley is met by Damian Priest. Rhea says she has this match, and says it is Tiffany Stratton's time to stand on the ring apron and look pretty. She then asks Priest if she has thought about what they have talked about, and Priest says he has thought about it. Rhea says they have destroyed The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, Liv Morgan) multiple times, and that it is time to get back to the World title. Priest says that as long as she has beef with The Judgment Day, so does he, and that he has her back. He then agrees it is time to get back the World title.

Backstage, "Main Event" Jey Uso opens a door and finds Jimmy Uso. Jimmy says "Got a second?" Jey looks around, then leaves.

R-Truth beats The Miz after The Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Akam, Rezar, Paul Ellering) shows up, distracting Miz and allowing R-Truth to win with a schoolkid pin. After the match, R-Truth hugs Miz and the referee, then leaves the ring and fistbumps Karrion Kross only for Kross to command The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) to throw R-Truth back in the ring so that Miz can hit R-Truth with the Skull Crushing Finale. At the beginning of the match, a brief message by The Wyatt Sicks (Uncle Howdy, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross) can be seen.

Backstage, Jimmy Uso is looking for "Main Event" Jey Uso. He eventually finds him. Jimmy asks Jey to hear him out, but Jey tells him no and tells him to get out of his face.

After the match, Rhea attacks Nia, but Liv hits Rhea from behind with a chop block. Nia grabs Liv and attacks her, but Raquel and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio pull Liv out of the ring before Nia can hit the A-Nia-Lator.

Shortly after this, Willie Mack inadvertently knocks Pearce into Cabana as Cabana is on the apron trying to get back in the ring.

He says he understands where Jimmy is coming from, but he is not an older brother or a wiseman - yet - as he does not understand the revenge or come up with the creative plans; he is a Tribal Chief and he takes what is his. He says that his Bloodline did just that for four years and that he called his shots and they delivered and had it all: the money, the power, the respect, the fear from others and the championships. Roman then says he does not like their position right now and that he does not like the lack of power or control, then says he meant it when he said he was best of all time, and when he steps in the arena, he wants everyone to know that "The Ones" are here. Jimmy says "But we not, though," to which the fans chant "Yes, you are!" Jimmy asks how when they stand in the ring and he sees a chief with no championship or ula fala, and that he came back at Bad Blood because Roman needed him. He says that Roman did not even ask him, and that he knows they need help as well as the one person they can get help from. The fans chant "Yeet!", but Roman says "No yeet." Jimmy says Roman will always be his Tribal Chief, but he is the only one in the family that still acknowledges him.

LA Knight retains the WWE United States Championship against Carmelo Hayes. Andrade shows up to watch from ringside during the match. After the match, Andrade mocks Carmelo for losing, telling him to "put the fries in the bag."

Backstage, Jimmy Uso meets with "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, who thanks him for the help on Saturday. Jimmy tells Cody not to expect anymore help, then both acknowledge that the other is handling business well.

We see a vignette for Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, who want the women's tag titles around their waists.

Before the next match, Kevin Owens shows up despite not being told not to be here tonight, then says he turned on "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes because Cody turned on him. His microphone is cut as officials show up, then takes Corey's headset and further explains himself before Cody shows up. General Manager Nick Aldis shows up with security to keep both Cody and Owens separated, and Randy Orton shows up to reason with both Cody and Owens, but has to help security with Owens instead. Owens elbows Orton, and Orton responds by punching Owens in the face. Owens walks away through the crowd.

Trick Williams is seen in the front row. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven are seen at ringside.

Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson) after Chelsea Green distracts Lash Legend and gets pump kicked by Lash for it.

Backstage, Randy Orton tells "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes to calm down and leave while he fixes things around here, and General Manager Nick Aldis tells Cody that he needs him focused for Gunther at Crown Jewel. Aldis thanks Orton for being the voice of reason.

Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton head to the ring. Nia says that as WWE Women's Champion, she has a very busy agenda, then gives credit to Bayley for putting up a hell of a fight at Bad Blood even though she ended up on her back all other worthy contenders. She says that nobody can beat her, not even Liv Morgan, and at Crown Jewel, she will annihilate Liv like she has everyone else, and when she becomes Women's Crown Jewel Champion, it's Tiffy Time. She says this after grabbing Tiffany around the neck, then says when that happens, Tiffany will cash in on Liv Morgan. Naomi shows up and says Nia Jax is only champion because Tiffany helped her again, and that Nia cannot win without her, even though she pinned Tiffany just like she pinned Nia. Nia reminds Naomi that it took her and Bayley to pin, and asks her if she needs a partner to beat her again. Naomi says she does not need anybody to beat her, and that she can beat her right here and right now. Nia then demands General Manager Nick Aldis to send a referee to the ring and make the match official. A referee shows up to make the match official, then Raquel Rodriguez, Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio show up. Liv says they are here to embarrass Nia, then says they might as well watch Nia lose tonight just like she will lose at Crown Jewel. Nia shoves Naomi in anger before the show cuts to a commercial break.

Naomi beats Nia Jax after Raquel Rodriguez stops Tiffany Stratton from hitting Naomi with the Money In The Bank briefcase before distracting the referee so that Liv can hit Nia with the briefcase. After the match, Rhea Ripley shows up and attacks Raquel Rodriguez. Liv Morgan flees into the ring only to be grabbed by Nia, and Rhea boots Nia before attacking Liv. Dominik distracts Rhea so that Raquel can save Liv.

Backstage, Carmelo Hayes confronts Nick Aldis concerning Andrade's appearance at ringside during his match. Aldis makes a seventh match between Carmelo and Andrade, with the winner becoming number one contender for the United States title. Carmelo leaves after Aldis tells him not to miss, then Legado del Fantasma then shows up, and Santos Escobar says that Andrade and Carmelo seem to have a permanent spot as #1 contender. He then states that he is looking for opportunities for the rest of Legado del Fantasma (Elektra Lopez, Humberto, Garza). Aldis says that Los Garza has a match against a special team next week, and if they beat them, they will be worthy of a tag team title shot. Escobar is pleased as Legado del Fantasma leaves and says Aldis will not regret this, but after they leaves, Aldis says that Escobar might.

We hear from Solo Sikoa, who says that while Jimmy Uso might be his big brother, he is his Tribal Chief tonight, and he will acknowledge him.

We see another vignette with fast cards. This time, there is a rock band playing, and there is also graffiti. We then see the words "Next week."

Backstage, General Manager Nick Aldis gets between #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), telling them both that they had their shot at the tag team titles and that he has a new team coming next week, but both teams only argue more loudly. All of a sudden, Nick Aldis notices an attack outside, and it ends up being Kevin Owens attacking Randy Orton, who Owens accusing of "picking sides." Aldis calls for security to get Owens out of the area before calling for medical help for Orton.

Solo Sikoa beats Jimmy Uso after Tama Tonga distracts the ref and Tonga Loa trips Jimmy off the top rope. After the match, Tama and Loa attack Jimmy, then Roman Reigns shows up and hits Jacob Fatu with a Superman Punch at the ramp before taking out Tama and Loa. Solo and Roman brawl, but Jacob quickly attacks Roman from behind. Roman is ganged up on by The Bloodline, and Solo hits Roman with the Samoan Spike to end the show. Jimmy tells Roman that they need help afterwards.
