Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 27, 2013

John Cena enters the ring. He knows his match with Ryback at Extreme Rules ended in controversy, and says Ryback's Ambulance match challenge was a knee-jerk reaction. Cena suggests a Three Stages of Hell match for Payback. The first match is a Lumberjack match, the second a Tables match, and the third an Ambulance match. Ryback shows up and accepts, telling Cena that he himself is hell. Paul Heyman then shows up and brings out Curtis Axel. Both men respect Cena as a fighting champion after what has just transpired, and challenge Cena to a fight with Axel later tonight. After Cena makes fun of Heyman and tells Axel he got lucky, he accepts.

Despite AJ Lee's interference by untying a turnbuckle pad, Big E Langston still couldn't beat Alberto Del Rio. Big E isn't very thrilled as AJ tells him she was trying to help.

Kane tries to tell Daniel Bryan he's not the weak link and that toughness has nothing to do with size. Bret "The Hit Man" Hart shows up and tells Bryan exactly what Kane's been trying to tell him after he stops him and Kane from arguing with each other. When Kane asks D-Bry why he won't listen to him, D-Bry replies "That's Bret Hart. You're...you're just Kane."

Dean Ambrose retains the WWE United States Championship against Kofi Kingston. As he, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins celebrate, Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane) show up and clean house! The tag team title rematch is next!

Thanks to a miscommunication between Daniel Bryan and Kane with D-Bry caught up with trying to prove he's not the weak link, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns retain the WWE Tag Team Championships.

The Miz is now in the ring. Will he be guest ring announcer, guest commentator or guest referee for the next match? Vote on the WWE App now!

Wade Barrett loses to Fandango when The Miz gets between both men, causing Barrett to toss Miz across the ring. In return, Miz hits the Skull Crushing Finale on Barrett, and Fandango gets the win. Miz then pushes Summer Rae into Fandango, and counts to three for the "pin."

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels asks John Cena if he's ready, then tells him not to go through with tonight's challenge. Cena doesn't listen. (Yes, this was HBK with a beard. I kid you not.)

Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay and Tensai) and The Great Khali beat 3MB (Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal). May they never mess with Hornswoggle again. After the match, Khali wishes Natalya a happy birthday.

It's Highlight Reel time! Chris Jericho's guest this time in Paul Heyman, who has discovered many talents in the wrestling world, including Jericho. Jericho wants to know about CM Punk and when he will return. After some hilarious dialogue, Heyman says there will be an announcement in the coming weeks concerning Punk's return. That's not good enough for Jericho, who wants a match against Punk at Payback. After toying with Heyman's emotions, Heyman accepts on Punk's behalf.

The Bella Twins (Nicole and Brie Bella) beat Natalya and Kaitlyn by tricking Kaitlyn into Spearing Natalya. They then make fun of Natalya's birthday.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart meets with Curtis Axel. Bret tells Axel to dump Paul Heyman, but Axel won't listen, saying Heyman was the only one who gave a crap about him.

The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan) are coming!

Sheamus and Randy Orton beat Team Rhodes Scholars (Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes).

As John Cena fights Curtis Axel, and an ambulance shows up. Axel wins by count-out as Cena examines the ambulance only to be attacked from behind by Ryback. Ryback almost sends Cena through the LED lighting, but Cena outsmarts Ryback this time.

Happy Memorial Day!
