Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 18, 2013

John Cena starts things in New Orleans, Louisiana off right! He tells us what's going on at WrestleMania with both the WWE and World titles, then CM Punk and Paul Heyman come out. Punk admits The Rock beat him fair and square, but finds it amazing Cena is facing the Rock while Cena hasn't beaten Rock or Punk. He considers Cena's Royal Rumble win "lucky," and that he can't win the big one. Punk tells him to walk away, but Cena says no. Since there's a problem between both men, Cena's got the solution: Cena vs. Punk. If Cena wins, Punk shuts up...but if Punk wins, Punk gets Cena's shot at The Rock. Punk says you're on...next week. Cena tells to wait the week out and then come out fighting.

Josh Mathews interviews Sheamus, who then confronts Ryback. After calling Ryback a "mindless neanderthal," Ryback almost tears him apart, but Chris Jericho stops the brawl before it can even start. He knows how bad The Shield is, and wants to get a match with him, Ryback and Sheamus against The Shield from Vicki Guerrero. Ryback and Sheamus love this idea.

Mark Henry beats Sin Cara. When Mark Henry tries to put Sin Cara in the Hall of Pain, The Great Khali shows up and Mark Henry walks away.

Vicki Guerrero makes it official! Chris Jericho, Sheamus and Ryback take on The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns)!

The Miz beats Antonio Cesaro with the Figure Four Leg Lock in a no-disqualification match.

We see one of Zeb Coulter's YouTube vids.

Daniel Bryan is ticked that Kane punched him at Elimination Chamber, and that he has a singles match against Jack Swagger. He doesn't want Kane with him. When Kane says he's asking for a singles match of his own, he doesn't want Daniel Bryan with him and that he doesn't like snakes, Randy Orton shows up and tells Kane how non-threatening he is these days.

Vickie Guerrero congratulates Paul Heyman for him and CM Punk losing against The Rock, then tells him she's got an announcement that will impact his career.

Not only does Alberto Del Rio stop Big E Langston from interfering, he also beats Dolph Ziggler with the Cross Arm Breaker! Big E destroys Del Rio, then Ricardo Rodriguez stops Dolph Ziggler from cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase. AJ gets the briefcase back to Ziggler, but Del Rio stops Ziggler dead in his tracks.

Wade Barrett announces he's starring in the upcoming movie Dead Man Down, and we even see a trailer! Sheamus shows up on the TitanTron, however, and mocks him for not starring in the movie when Colin Farrell is.

Primo, Epico and Rosa Mendes ruin Brodus Clay and Tensai's entrance.

Brodus Clay, Tensai and Naomi beat Primo, Epico and Rosa Mendes in a mixed tag-team match.

Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter hold their State of the Union address. It's really more of a far-right rant, which then turns into Zeb saying that Swagger will win the World title from Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania.

Jack Swagger beats Daniel Bryan with the Patriot Act.

Vickie Guerrero is in the ring with Paul Heyman. She has a new assistant...Brad Maddox. Maddox is glad to have this position considering all that he's recently been through, but Heyman isn't putting up with this. He's about to leave when Vincent K. McMahon shows up live via satellite on the TitanTron. When Heyman said he'd do anything for Vince McMahon for the stipulation from last night, McMahon takes advantage and considers firing him...but he doesn't. Instead, he tells Heyman he'll be in the ring next week, and that Heyman will be there with him...and they're gonna have a fight.

The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) beat Chris Jericho, Sheamus and Ryback.

Damien Sandow brutally attacks Kofi Kingston before the bell can ring, but R-Truth...back from a knee injury...comes in and saves the day!

D.J. Cotrona and Adrienna Padlicki from G.I. Joe: Retribution are back in the audience tonight for Raw!

Randy Orton beats Kane when Daniel Bryan distracts Kane.

The University of Lafayette Marching Band play for the crowd before The Rock comes to thering. He's going to WrestleMania...but not with that belt! He feels the WWE Championship shouldn't look like a spinny toy and should be inspiring, and that a new belt design is in order. He shows it off to great WWE Universe response. As Rock ponders who he'll face in 48 days' time, John Cena shows up...then CM Punk hits Cena in the back with the old version of the title. He tosses the old belt aside before pointing at Rocky's title and saying "I want that one." Punk and Rock stare each other down before Punk walks away.
