She pulls out the WWF Women's Championship, then grabs a nearby trash can.

She says she is now in WCW, and that her name used to be Alundra Blayze, but not anymore. She says this is where the big boys play, and that this is now where the big girls play. (This act has major repercussions for years to come, as this leaves Madusa blacklisted from the WWF for years, and is considered by some to be the first big shot in what is eventually called "The Monday Night War" between WWF and WCW.)

Suddenly, The Taskmaster and Jimmy Hart show up.

When Savage beats Flair, he has to get past Starrcade, and if and when he retains the title, he will defend against Hogan. Hogan asks the crowd if they want to see this, and the crowd goes wild.

Brother Love then tells King Mabel he has a surprise for him, and Mabel says he doesn't like surprises. The surprise is none other than a druid pushing a casket draped in black towards the ring. The druid then walks onto the apron, and the druid is none other than...Sir Mo. King Mabel thinks Sir Mo has been turned against him, until the black draping is removed from the casket to reveal that it is The Undertaker's casket.

Ahmed tells tells Lawler to show some respect, or he can have him in the ring. Suddenly, Dean Douglas shows up, looks at Ahmed and says he might have what it takes to be a superstar, and that the road to superstardom takes place in "his classroom," which just so happens to be the ring. Ahmed considers this a challenge, and wants the bell rung so that he can take him on right now. Referees have to stop Dean Douglas from approaching Ahmed.

He reminds Hart that he is a marked man with the WWF Championship around his shoulder, and mentions Hart's recent match with Diesel at Survivor Series. As Brother Love refuses to let Hart speak, he mentions a probable championship match with The Undertaker, and insinuates that Bret has made his mother cry by fighting his brother Owen Hart before mentioning the Harts' one last match at In Your House in a few weeks. Hart finaly gets his hand on Brother Love's wrist and reminds Owen of how cheaply he beat him when they crossed paths in the ring. As for The Undertaker, he'll cross that bridge when he comes to it. He tells The British Bulldog that he will find out it's a dog-eat-dog world and that what goes around, comes around, as he plans to redeem himself for what happened at SummerSlam 1992. After the show is over, Bret Hart and Brother Love argue until Bob Backlund sneaks up on him from behind and puts Hart in the Cross Face Chicken Wing, saying that Hart is a disgrace.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 13, 1995

This morning, WWF Interim President Gorilla Monsoon declares Razor Ramon vs. Sycho Sid with special guest referee The 1-2-3 Kid to be a non-title match after some unfortunate confrontations between Razor and The Kid led him to question the impartiality of THe Kid as special guest referee.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs. Henry Godwinn - the later now known as Henry O. Godwinn - ends in a rather ingenious way: Godwinn dumps the bucket of slop all over himself, causing Helmsley to retreat due to the smell, only to slip and fall twice on the puddle of slop outside of the ring.

Diesel has respect for Hart, but he's confident of his abilities and knows he has to defend the WWF Championship. Hart, on the other hand, still can't sit well with how he lost the WWF Championship last time, as well as the fact that neither of them have beaten each other yet and the fact that he never got a rematch for the title. Hart says he also has the utmost respect for Diesel and thinks he's a great wrestler, especially given the fact that he has held the WWF Championship for over a year, buy says that faster guys with technical wrestling skills give Diesel more of a run for his money compared to other big men his size, and thinks that he's picking bigger guys on purpose so guys like him can't get title shot. Diesel says Hart was the first person he challenged, and says that if he wanted to duck a technical guy, Hart would be the last he would duck. Diesel says he'll survive Survivor Series by playing to his strengths and knocking Hart out. Hart is concerned with what a bigger man can do to him, but Hart is still up for the challenge even though Diesel has him well scouted, and plans to outlast Diesel for the title. Diesel says that he's bigger, better and smarter than he was in January. Hart says that dreams still push him to drive for the WWF Championship.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund is with The Red Locker Room (Ric Flair, Meng, Diamond Dallas Page, "Lord" Steven Regal, "Squire" David Taylor, Big Bubba, Shark, Scott "Flash" Norton). Shark and Nrto are too busy fighting each other. Meanwhile, Tony Schiavone is with The Blue Locker Room (Sting, Johnny B. Badd, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Dave Sullivan, "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright, Jerry Sags, Brian Knobbs, Mr. J.L.). Both men are aggressive and ready to fight each other...except for "Lord" Steven Regal and "Squire" David Taylor, who would much rather sit behind everyone else and drink tea like gentlemen.

Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are back in Venice Beach, California...and Macho Man is dressed in black just like Hogan. They're going for The Dungeon of Doom, but Savage asks how much more has to be sacrificed. While Hulk stays in the dark side, Macho Man plans to go to the light side and see who's friend and who's foe.

The Taskmaster beats The Renegade as Jimmy Hart aggravates his former client Renegade with his microphone, telling him that he could have been the next Hulk Hogan if he had only listened to him. After the match, Jimmy Hart splashes a drink on Renegade, saying he's "plain ol' Rick" and that he is nothing.

The lights go out on The Blue Locker Room (Sting, Johnny B. Badd, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Dave Sullivan, "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright, Jerry Sags, Brian Knobbs, Mr. J.L.) and then back on as Ric Flair tells Sting to come and get him.

Badd and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. Doug Dillinger shows up as soon as Sting is separated from Flair, but as soon as Sting sees Lex Luger heading towards the ring, Sting gets back in the ring and puts Flair in the Scorpion Death Lock again. Lex Luger speaks to Sting, and Stings releases the Scorpion Death Lock again. All of the other wrestlers in the ring are confused as to what is going on, leading the commentary booth to wonder if Sting and Lex Luger are in cahoots.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Jimmy Hart, The Taskmaster and The Giant. Hart says he was taking care of business while Hogan was making "B-grade movies" because he had the power of attorney to do it, and when Hogan wanted to step in the ring against The Giant, he signed the contract for it because of said power of attorney. He says that Hogan failed to realize one thing: when the contract was made, it was stipulated that if Hogan lost by disqualification at Fall Brawl, The Giant would become the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The Taskmaster says he also signed that contract, and says it wasn't his or The Giant's fault that Hogan got disqualified. "Mean" Gene Okerlund brings out Nick Lambros, who is part of the legal department and an attorney in connection with the Championship Committee. He says that Hart is partially correct, but The Giant is not the World Champion. He has been on the phone with WCW Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel, who has confirmed that because of the dubious nature of the disqualification, the title will be held up, and it will be awarded to the winner of the three-ring batlle royal at World War 3 on November 26th. The Giant refuses to give up the title, and The Taskmaster calls this decision part of Hogan and WCW's agenda. He hands the belt to Lambros, confidently saying that The Giant will win the title back at World War 3.

Next week: Meng vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage! Eddie Guerrero vs. Johnny B. Badd for the World Television Championship! Sting vs. Dean Malenko!

As for the wild card match at Survivor Series, Cornette says that Monsoon is trying to shift the balance of power by forcing The British Bulldog and the team Yokozuna and Owen Hart onto opposite sides. As for next week's match with Marty Jannetty, it's just something that Bulldog shouldn't even be thinking about right now, but Cornette and Bulldog agree that Jannetty will be easil used as a stepping stone.

The block of ice at the entrance ramp breaks, and a giant mummy pops out of it in the final few seconds of the show.
