Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 12, 1998

Note: This episode aired on Saturday due to U.S. Open tennis.

RAW

Edge beats "Double J" Jeff Jarrett by disqualification after Jarrett is caught hitting Edge in the head with a guitar. Mark Canterbury then leaves a card on top of Edge reading "Southern Justice" and "Problem Solvers."

Bradshaw beats Darren "Puke" Drozdov after using the ropes for leverage. When Droz complains to referee Jack Doan, Bradshaw nails Droz with a clothesline.

"Marvelous" Marc Mero beats Miguel Perez.

Michael Cole interviews The Oddities (Luna Vachon, Gorga, Kurrgan, Giant Silva, Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope). Luna says that tonight, the entire world is going to learn that The Oddities aren't just a bunch of pretty faces. Violent J says he and Shaggy 2 Dope are not wrestlers, but they know it can get rough around here, and that he'll ride a bike up and down the backs of The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) if they have to.

The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) beat The Oddities (Golga and Kurrgan) by disqualification. During the match, Golga accidentally breaks the top rope, and The D.O.A. use it as a weapon. The Insane Clown Posse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope) try to stop it, but they get attacked. The D.O.A. are able to quickly get away. (Yet again, The Oddities' entrance is excised on the WWE Network.)

WAR ZONE

"The Rock" Rocky Maivia shows up. He addresses the Ladder Match against "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley for the Intercontinental title at SummerSlam, and says he did to him what he said he was going to do. As he laid on his back and watched Triple H take the Intercontinental title, he realized that even though Triple H took the title, he will always be "The People's Champ." He then says that there a lot of people in the WWF who don't know their roles, and two of these people in particular are The Undertaker and Kane. Last week, when they showed up, he knew he was going to get his ass whupped, and tells Kane that for one second that he will get away with choke slamming him, he will take his big right hand, raise The People's Eyebrow and lay the smackdown on him.

The Lion's Den match between Owen Hart and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock from SummerSlam is replayed.

Southern Justice (Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight) beat Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor).

Vader beats Dustin Runnels. During the match, Val Venis walks around in the crowd carrying a sign simply reading "I have come." At one point, this distracts Runnels, who is wearing a T-shirt with the words "He is coming back" on the back.

Al Snow and Head come out of the crowd and get in the ring. Snow says "What does everybody want?", "What does everybody need?" and "What does everybody love?" as the crowd chants "Head!" (These three questions would be sampled for his WWF entrance theme.) Snow says he and Head will not leave the ring until they see a WWF official. Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco and WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter show up, then Snow says the word of the day is "stooge" before asking the crowd to say the word "stooge" and introducing the crowd to "The Stooge Is Right." Snow lets Slaughter know that since everyone loves a little Head, the crowd has been chosen as the new WWF Commissioner. Slaughter tells Snow and Head to leave the ring. Snow tells Brisco he and Head have been reinstated, but Brisco tells him to leave the ring. SNow asks Patterson where the dressing room is, but Patterson tells him to leave the ring or he is going to jail. Snow then decides to give the three of them a parting gift: a little Head. Snow hits Patterson in the groin with Head and then runs back into the crowd, out of the grasp of Slaughter and Brisco.

Michael Cole interviews The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh), who are confused about the fact that this is Raw Saturday Night and not Shotgun Saturday Night. Thrasher says he will keep "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry in the corner and feed himi bananas, while Mosh will beat up D'Lo Brown. Mosh does not understand why D'Lo is WWF European Champion when he grew up right by them in South Jersey.

The Nation (D'Lo Brown and "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) by disqualification after Chyna rushes into the ring and attacks Mark Henry. Multiple referees have to keep both Chyna and Mark Henry separated, but Chyna is able to get her hands on Mark Henry again and also knock down a few referees. "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) have to calm Chyna down, and Mark Henry is left with a bloody nose.

Before the next match, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley announces that at SummerSlam D-Generation X (Triple H, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) came, saw and kicked their asses.

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat Kaientai (Dick Togo, Men's Teioh, Sho Funaki, Taka Michinoku). Chyna knocks out Sho Funaki and Yamaguchi-san after the match, and the show ends with a young woman flashing her panties to DX.
