Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 29, 2013

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. The only winning Vince sees at SummerSlam is both Bryan and Cena spontaneously combusting in the ring. Daniel Bryan doesn't care what Vince thinks, but what the fans think...and the fans want him as their new champion.

The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) beat The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) and "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, then Henry throws them around!

Ryback threatens a random guy at the catering table...then has his way with him, putting him through a table.

Fandango flees, causing Rob Van Dam to beat him by count-out.

AJ Lee talks to Big E Langston, complaining about how Big E doesn't do anything ringside...but thinks it's because he likes her.

Kaitlyn beats AJ Lee. AJ loses it, then Dolph Ziggler shows up to congratulate her on her loss. She tells her that Big E can be her shoulder to cry on, and that she can return the favor when he beats Big E Langston right here, right now! The gauntlet has finally been laid down!

Dolph Ziggler beats Big E Langston by disqualification after AJ Lee attacks Ziggler in a rage. As Big E confronts AJ in the ring, Ziggler hits Langston with the Zig Zag!

CM Punk runs in during Curtis Axel vs. R-Truth. He beats up Axel and almost gets Paul Heyman, but Heyman escapes.

Triple H confronts Vince McMahon over Daniel Bryan having three matches last week. Stephanie McMahon shows up and proposes giving Daniel a "corporate makeover."
