Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 12, 2013

Wade Barrett beats Daniel Bryan when special guest referee Brad Maddox performs a fast count. This angers Bryan, and Maddox somehow escapes D-Bry's wrath.



Cody Rhodes guests on commentary for the next match.

Randy Orton beats Damien Sandow when Cody Rhodes tries to steal Sandow's handcuffed Money In The Bank briefcase, distracting Sandow.



The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) talk down to the rest of the WWE and flex their superiority, saying they can't be beaten.

Josh Mathews interviews CM Punk. Punk knows Paul Heyman has something up his sleeve in their match tonight...

The Great Khali and Natalya beat Big E Langston and AJ Lee after Natalya gets AJ to tap to the Sharpshooter. Big E attacks Khali and Hornswoggle, but Khali strikes back!



Vince McMahon is here!

Vince McMahon shows up! He mentions the fast count from the Wade Barrett-Daniel Bryan match at the start of the show. He brings out Brad Maddox, demanding an explanation. Brad was guest referee because "Daniel Bryan matches get out of hand," and "admits" that he was "a little excited." He asks for a second chance in the form of being the special guest referee in the Daniel Bryan-John Cena match at SummerSlam. Vince McMahon questions Maddox's neutrality even further, then makes him special guest referee for the match anyway. Triple H shows up, agrees with Vince on what makes up the neutrality of a special guest referee, then puts Maddox in a Pedigree after saying he should be the special guest referee in the match instead.



Kane vs Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam will be a Ring of Fire Match. The ring will be surrounded with fire, keeping this match one-on-one.

Kane beats Titus O'Neil...then The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Luke Harper) show up. When the lights turn back on, Kane reappears at the top of the entrance ramp.



Josh Mathews interviews Brie and Nikki Bella, the Bella Twins. The Bella Twins say they're the queen bees of the Divas Division. Natalya shows up, however, and challenges Brie to a match at SummerSlam. Eva Marie joins the Bellas as The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi) show up to side with Natalya. Brie slaps Natalya before she, Nikki and Eva Marie leave.

Alberto Del Rio beats Kofi Kingston with the Cross Arm Breaker.



After a video package of Christian's career, Renee Young interviews Christian. Christian plans to beat Alberto Del Rio and win the World Heavyweight title at SummerSlam, then Alberto Del Rio shows up and openly mocks him, saying "no more matches for you."



Zeb Colter's distraction backfires! The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The Real Americans (Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro).



It's time for Miz TV! The Miz's guests tonight are Daniel Bryan and John Cena. It's official: Cena and D-Bry's match will have Triple H as the special guest referee. D-Bry is happy that the WWE Universe gets the match they deserve, and Cena is pleased with this as well. Daniel Byan feels John Cena is not in this for the wrestling and is only in this for the fame, and considers him to be a parody. Cena says otherwise, saying that the WWE Universe is the sole reason for why they do what they do...yet both men will always have their critics. Nevertheless, Daniel Bryan feels disrespected by Cena, as he feels Cena does not understand his hunger to hold the WWE title even once. After further insults and a reference to the Japanese exercise where two opponents take turns slapping each other in the face, D-Bry tells Cena he doesn't even deserve the slap. Cena slaps D-Bry, then Triple H shows up to restore order solely through his presence. Randy Orton shows up immediately afterwards, lifting the red Money In The Bank briefcase into the air.



R-Truth and Fandango have a dance battle. Fandango attacks R-Truth during his turn, but R-Truth strikes back!



Paul Heyman has second thoughts about challenging CM Punk to a match...

Rob Van Dam wins the 20-man battle royal. He goes on to face Dean Ambrose for the United States title at SummerSlam. "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, the last man he eliminated, fistbumps with RVD. The Shield (Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) show up. Henry sticks around to help RVD in case of a potential attack. The biggest surprise, however, is the return of Big Show, who evens the odds. The Shield flee.





Paul Heyman comes out and blames the WWE Universe for all that's happened. He then brings out Brock Lesnar. We see a Lesnar video package, then Heyman dares Punk to get in the ring with him and Lesnar. Punk's music plays, but it's a sneak attack - Punk comes out from the back and levels Lesnar with a television camera. Punk chases Heyman, but Curtis Axel runs interference. Axel fares no better and eats a GTS after some steel chair shots. The show ends with Punk declaring himself the best in the world.
