Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 30, 2013

CM Punk enters the ring. He plans to beat Ryback to a pulp at Battleground, and also beat up Curtis Axel and get his hands on Paul Heyman. He also plans to stay in the ring until he gets a fight tonight. Brad Maddox shows up and tries to reason with him, but Big E Langston shows up...and beats him down. This starts a match.

CM Punk beats Big E Langston.

Kofi Kingston beats Fandango...but then the Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan) show up. Kofi has a steel chair in his hands, but Bray Wyatt has a rocking chair. He sits in it and asks why all sorts of problems happen to him, before coming to the realization that he knows what he must do and says that "they must all fall down."

Dolph Ziggler will take on Damien Sandow at the Battleground kickoff.

Brie and Nikki Bella talk about the former getting a Divas title shot when Randy Orton shows up and gets in their business...again....threatening to destroy Daniel Bryan.

Los Matadores are next!

Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego) beat 3MB (Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal).

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up. They then ask for the Rhodes family - Dust Rhodes, Cody Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes aka Goldust - to come out. They do. After some small talk, Stephanie McMahon offers Cody and Goldust jobs in the WWE...if they can beat The Shield (Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) at Battleground. If they lose, they will never work in the WWE again...and neither will Dusty! Dusty wants to be in his sons' corner, and that wish is granted. Stephanie then tells Dusty she knows he's itching for a fight and says "Be careful what you wish for." As the Rhodes family leaves, however, they are attacked by The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns), and Cody eats a three-man power bomb.

After an awkward mancrush moment, he asks Ryback if he could be a Paul Heyman guy. CM Punk's music hits, and Punk tries to sneak in over a barricade only to hyperextend his knee. Heyman gets close as a trainer checks on Punk, and Punk spins around to bean Heyman in the leg with a kendo stick. Ryback gets whacked, and Curtis Axel fares no better when he rushes in. Curtis Axel eventually eats a GTS.

Big Show is in Triple H's office...

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

Brie Bella shows up as Orton DDTs D-Bry to the outside mat and RKOs him through a table.
