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!

Daniel Bryan beats Sheamus with a surprise roll-up. Both men look at the briefcase, then shake hands.



AJ Lee and Big E Langston talk, then Dolph Ziggler shows up. Dolph and AJ Lee both plan to stay together and both win the World Heavyweight title and retain the Divas title respectively.

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. Zeb Colter, Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro interrupt to spread their message, then Wade Barrett shows up. All five men argue, then Fandango shows up. 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.





Vickie Guerrero moves her stuff out. Ryback puts the box down, hugs her, then says "You deserve better, Vickie. It's going to be okay." He then gives her the box back.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) guest on commentary for the next match.

Kaitlyn and Layla vs. AJ Lee and Alicia Fox comes to a premature end when Kaitlyn destroys AJ.



Josh Mathews interviews CM Punk. Punk plans to win tonight and reclaim the WWE title.

CM Punk beats Randy Orton. After the match, Punk is attacked by Daniel Bryan, who then takes a ladder from underneath the ring and attacks Orton with it. He then uses the ladder to climb to the briefcase, take the briefcase off the hook and start a "Yes!" chant.
