Vince McMahon shows up with Brad Maddox. Brad Maddox apologizes for letting John Cena pick his SummerSlam opponent, then Vince has fun with what Maddox supposedly said about Daniel Bryan, calling Bryan a troll and a dwarf. Daniel Bryan shows up before we get to hear what Maddox really thinks of him. Maddox leaves after Bryan says that the troll and dwarf comments came from Vine's mouth. Vince tells Bryan to respect him, but Daniel says respect is a two-way street and he hasn't gotten any after busting his butt night after night for several years. Vince tries to goad Bryan into thinking Cena is being less than truthful about what he said about Bryan, and says Bryan can't win tonight because he doesn't have ruthless aggression, also going so far as to say that Cena doesn't have it anymore either.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for July 28, 2013
We're introduced to The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella), The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi, who go by Ariane and Trinity, respectively), and Natalya (also known as "Nattie") at the start of the show.
Brie and Nikki have been gone for 11 months, and they're glad to be back in the WWE in time for WrestleMania 29.
Ariane and Trinity are at the gym. Trinity is engaged to Jimmy Uso of The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), who goes by his real first name Jon here. We see them playing around.
Nattie trains with some of the people in NXT, with Bill DeMott overseeing everything. Nattie's dad, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, also watches. Nattie says she had to work to get to WWE, and that doors were never kept open for her because of her family lineage.
Nikki is in love and in a relationship with John Cena. Yes, the John Cena.
Brie lives in an apartment in San Diego with Bryan Danielson aka Daniel Bryan. They've been together for two-and-a-half years. Nikki shows up in a Range Rover bought for her by John Cena.
Nikki mentions that John Cena is rather reluctant to marry again after his last divorce.
Natalya gets a call from Jane Geddes, head of talent relations. Jane wants to talk to her. She meets Jane as well as Mark Carrano, also from talent relations. Nattie finds out she's not in a match. She finds out The Bella Twins (whom she taught how to wrestle) will be in the Divas match with Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow, and that they'll be facing The Funkadactyls, Brodus Clay and Tensai. They also want Nattie to work with the two new Divas that are coming up.
We meet Eva Marie and Jojo, the two newest Divas. Jane wants Eva Marie to color her hair blonde. Eva seems rather reluctant.
We also meet Ariane's boyfriend, Vincent.
Ariane and Trinity are trying to get their dress rehearsal together. When Ariane says that Brodus Clay is upset, Vincent gets emotional and wants to fight Brodus when she says she yelled at him. Trinity gets concerned, as does Nattie, who de-escalates the situation.
The Bellas meet Jojo and Eva Marie, and Trinity tries to talk to Ariane about the incident with Vincent. Brie says that Eva Marie looks too much like a Bella Twin. Ariane doesn't really want to talk to Vincent because she knows he means well, but Trinity doesn't want either of their careers jeopardized.
Eva Marie tries to go blonde as Jane says, but it doesn't work for her. Instead, she goes fire red. Jane admits she likes it, but tells her to listen to talent relations next time.
As the rest of the Divas party it up, Nattie is stuck on interview duty. She's not too thrilled about that.
Brie and Nikki talk about whether John Cena wants to marry. Nikki wants to walk down the aisle, but Cena's reluctant.
Trinity wants Ariane to talk to Vincent. Ariane says she'll talk to Vincent when she's ready.
Nikki talks to John Cena. Cena is still reluctant, but says Nikki has changed him as a person and has made him enjoy life. They both agree to take it one day at a time.
At WrestleMania 29, Trinity and Ariane have a wardrobe malfunction. It gets fixed just in time, but it is revealed the Divas match was cut to go straight to John Cena vs. The Rock, as the last match went over the time limit. Everyone is devastated, but Trinity and Ariane are able to cheer up.
Bonus Clip #1: Daniel Bryan and the Bellas talk about family at dinner.
Bonus Clip #2: The Funkadactyls practice their dance move before their match. Also, Matt Stryker cameo at the end!

My Money In The Bank predictions
Welp, Sunday is Money In The Bank, and the hunt for the briefcases is as hot as ever this year. How will the event go this year?
Just like Payback, except this time AJ Lee is the champ and *gasp* they're finally doing things with the Divas Division now that AJ is champ! Don't you just know it?
Kickoff for the WWE Tag Team Championships
The Shield
(Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns)
vs.
The Usos
(Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso)
Finally, you Uso fans finally get to see your heroes in a pay-per-view match with the tag titles on the line. But their opponent is their toughest yet: its Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns of The Shield.
My prediction: I'd like to see The Usos win the tag titles, but I'm definitely expecting The Shield to win it by hook or by crook. The Shield it is.
For the WWE Championship
John Cena
vs.
Mark Henry
Finally, Mark Henry will get the biggest piece of the pie in the WWE...if he can get past Cena.
My prediction: I'm probably going to be in the minority and say Henry will win it. When he was World Heavyweight champ, his career became the best it had ever been. What if he wins the WWE title? He'd be nearly unstoppable again, and it would probably take only Cena to stop him.
For the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Alberto Del Rio
vs.
Dolph Ziggler
Finally, the match we've been waiting for since Payback...or is it before Payback. Regardless, this match will hopefully go the way we'd like to see it go.
My prediction: Dolph Ziggler. Everyone was absolutely upset that Dolph lost the title in his first defense. Hopefully this match will remedy everything and bring the title back to Ziggler.
WWE Championship Money In The Bank Ladder Match
CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Christian vs. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus vs. Rob Van Dam
Kane was supposed to be in the match as well, but he was taken out by The Wyatt Family when they debuted on Raw this Monday night.
All faces, all former WWE/World Champions. Rob Van Dam, whose return was teased at Payback, is coming back after a couple of years in TNA at this event.
My prediction: I'm a CM Punk guy. I really want to see him go for the WWE title again.
Chris Jericho
vs.
Ryback
Ryback has an injured knee. Chris Jericho is making fun of him and calling him "Cryback." Gee, I wonder how this will end?
My prediction: Ryback. Because he's lost every pay-per-view he's been in for the past 12 months, that's why.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Money In The Bank Ladder Match
Wade Barrett vs. Fandango vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow vs. Antonio Cesaro vs. Jack Swagger vs. Dean Ambrose
All heels. Most are not former World champs (only Swagger holds that honor). They're either former Intercontinental champs or United States champs. Teddy Long wasn't kidding when he said these guys are the future. This one isn't getting as much attention, and interestingly, it's harder to picture who's going to win this on Sunday.
My prediction: Wade Barrett. I'd like to see Cesaro win, but he hasn't been here that long. Ambrose is still fresh out of developmental (he hasn't even been in the main roster for a year yet!). I can't picture anyone else winning it...so...
For the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Curtis Axel
vs.
The Miz
The Miz is going for the IC title again, this time against Curtis Axel. At least he's not on the preshow/kickoff/whatever you call it.
My prediction: Curtis Axel retains. I can't picture The Miz beating him for it. I just can't.
For the WWE Divas Championship
AJ Lee
vs.
Kaitlyn
Just like Payback, except this time AJ Lee is the champ and *gasp* they're finally doing things with the Divas Division now that AJ is champ! Don't you just know it?
My prediction: AJ Lee, because I want her to do more stuff.
Well, those are my predictions. Tune in on pay-per-view Sunday, where I only get two of these match predictions right and a good time is had by all.

Sabin tells Bully he's got a short memory, as he has been at his side at Team 3D's retirement match and also kicked out of the 3D itself (still being the only person to do so). He then cashes in, and Bully says he'll not only have to deal with him, but the rest of Aces and Eights, whom he brings out. The Main Event Mafia shows up at the same time, and promises that next week, the match will just be Sabin and Bully Ray. Sting then introduces the fifth member of the Main Event Mafia: Quentin "Rampage" Jackson.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 8, 2013
The show starts with The Wyatt Family saying "We're coming." During the show, we saw some vignettes where a reporter looked for (and found) the Wyatt Family compound...as well as what happened inside.
Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox are in the ring. She talks about the ladder in the ring, and use it as a metaphor of her time in WWE and climbing the corporate ladder in a male-dominated corporate environment. Jerry Lawler then lets her know that according to the McMahons, "any and all factors" will make or break her job evaluation tonight, including a WWE App poll that lets the WWE Universe rate her performance! She then has four matches for tonight: John Cena vs. Mark Henry, Christian vs. Kane, Orton and CM Punk, and the first match which happens right now: Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus!

The Shield (Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) beat Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay and Tensai).
John Cena enters the ring. He calls out "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, who shows up. Henry says that the WWE title will validate his career, all after selling out his family and friends. Cena tells Henry "you'd better win this, or it will be for nothing." After some more talk, both men want to fight. Mark Henry plays some mind games with Cena after the latter tells him to cross an imaginary line that he makes with his foot, then ends up destroying him. Cena tries to go for the Attitude Adjustment, but ends up getting flattened and put in a World's Strongest Slam. Henry then stands over Cena with the WWE title held up high.
Josh Mathews interviews Randy Orton. He plans on winning tonight and at Money In The Bank.
The Miz guests on commentary for the next match.
Paul Heyman mentions his black eye at the hands of Alberto Del Rio on last week's SmackDown, but says he is here to bask in the perfection that is Curtis Axel. Axel then makes fun of Chris Jericho before promising to retain the Intercontinental title at Money In The Bank.
Chris Jericho gives Curtis Axel his first ever loss since his debut and re-packaging after The Miz distracts Axel.
Josh Mathews interviews Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes, who are sure that Money In The Bank will not affect their friendship.

Nobody wants to hear him, and when he finally tries to say his name, Barrett knocks Fandango out with a punch to the face. Rhodes and Sandow then stare Swagger and Cesaro down.
Dolph Ziggler shows up during Alberto Del Rio vs. Sin Cara. He tells Del Rio that he will win at Money In The Bank and regain the World Heavyweight Championship, then lambasts Ricardo Rodriguez's intro. Del Rio and Ziggler then brawl outside the ring before Sin Cara lands a top rope cross body on Del Rio.
Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox are in the ring. Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. They all see through her crap, but Vince still feels Vickie is a good General Manager while the other two think otherwise. They then let the WWE Universe vote decide her fate: 75% say she has failed, and Steph says the ever-famous "you're fired" line. Vicki loses it, then Vince tells the WWE Universe they failed before making Brad Maddox the new Raw GM. Vince escorts Vickie out as a confused Brad Maddox follows.
Vince McMahon consoles Vickie Guerrero, and when Brad Maddox thanks Vince, Vickie attacks him before having a mental breakdown.
Kane beats Christian...then Bray Wyatt shows up on the TitanTron. The Wyatt Family are here. They show up, and Erick Rowan and Luke Harper destroy Kane as Wyatt watches from a rocking chair.
