Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 1, 2013

Vickie Guerrero stars the show by announcing a Champion vs Champion match between John Cena and Alberto Del Rio.

Daniel Bryan shows up. He's not the weak link anymore, and he wants to be amongst the greats and win the WWE Championship. Sheamus shows up and says he wants the same thing after Bryan says it's been too long since he's held gold, saying the same applies to him. Randy Orton shows up and says it's been two years. D-Bry tells Randy he made him tap out, but Randy is still all too apt to drop him where he's standing. Kane and D-Bry over who will be WWE Champion, but Christian stops the proceedings to say he's had more experience with ladder matches than anyone else and that he's the best. This cause CM Punk to show up to say he's the Best in the World, and that he will win his third briefcase in two weeks. He also addresses Rob Van Dam (who is absent) and knows that he has a gameplan. D-Bry tells CM Punk to shut up before he makes him tap out faster than Orton, and Randy Orton gets in his face only for Kane to get in Orton's face. D-Bry argues with Kane for "fighting his battle for him," which gives Orton the opportunity to RKO Kane. Everyone except Kane and Daniel Bryan leaves the ring after a tense staredown.



We take a look at Buddy Rogers and Lou Thesz - the first WWE and World Heavyweight champs ever respectively.

The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) beat Christian and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso).



Daniel Bryan apologizes to Kane. He's gotten with Vickie and has gotten Kane a rematch against Randy Orton...and D-Bry is the special guest referee. Kane is not happy about that last part.

Dolph Ziggler beats Jinder Mahal, then uses his agility to outsmart Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre!



We take a look at former WWE Champion Bruno Sammartino and former World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race.

Triple H shows up to tell Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox they're doing a great job...and to do what he says. Again.



We see a career retrospective for "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry.



Randy Orton almost gets disqualified for shoving special guest referee Daniel Bryan, but Kane tells D-Bry to restart the match. He does.

Kane beats Randy Orton...but Daniel Bryan pulls a fast count, causing him and Kane to argue. Kane almost choke slams Bryan, but lets him go. Randy Orton then gets up and gives Bryan an RKO.



CM Punk still doesn't want Curtis Axel's help, nor does he trust him. Paul Heyman has to explain the logic behind their tag team match.

We take a look at former WWE champ Bob Backlund and former World champ Dusty Rhodes.

Sheamus beats Fandango by count-out after the latter runs back up the entrance ramp.



Chris Jericho guests on commentary for the next match.

The Miz beas Ryback after Miz aggravates Ryback's injured knee, and Ryback tells the ref he cannot continue. Chris Jericho then hits a Codebreaker on Jericho.



We look back at former WWE champ Hulk Hogan and former World champ Ric Flair.

"The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry comes out. He complains about never getting a real chance at the WWE Championship, and says that he will win it by any means necessary.



Vince McMahon talks with Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox. He complains about Daniel Bryan again, then praises the main event only to say it should be on pay-per-view and not on Raw. He wants Vickie to listen only to him.



CM Punk and Curtis Axel beat The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil), but Punk and Axel obviously cannot get along, and Axel even goes so far as to steal the pinfall from Punk. Punk tells Paul Heyman "I told you so," then Heyman celebrates with Axel as if Axel is now his new golden child.



Kaitlyn beats Alicia Fox, then AJ Lee and Big E Langston show up. AJ trashes Kaitlyn again by mentioning certain pics she made when she was broke and desperate. The pic shown is an unusually fat Kaitlyn blown up in size by Photoshop. Kaitlyn is not perturbed, and neither is Layla.



Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox get chewed out by Stephanie McMahon. Vickie tries to be funny with Steph after she finally listens to her demand for a stricter direction to follow, but Steph refuses to put up with it. She then schedules a job evaluation in the ring next week to see if she can continue, and become the official Raw General Manager.



Damien Sandow says he and Cody Rhodes will still be friends after Money In The Bank, much to the disappointment of the WWE Universe. Then, Zeb Colter comes out with Antonio Cesaro, complains about current affairs, and announces the return of Jack Swagger, who shows up.

Antonio Cesaro beats Cody Rhodes.



We look back at former WWE champ Triple H and former World champ Booker T.



The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) meet Jojo, Eva Marie, Cameron, Naomi and Natalya...then verbally dump all over them.



The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan) will debut next week!



CM Punk will show up on SmackDown this Friday!

"The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry shows up as John Cena faces Alberto Del Rio. Not long after this, Dolph Ziggler shows up and distracts Del Rio, giving Cena the Attitude Adjustment and the win. After this, Mark Henry enters the ring with the WWE title and plays mind games with Cena before walking away.
