Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 28, 2014

The show in Houston, Texas starts with John Cena entering the ring. He's not very enthusiastic, since he now knows he has to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, and knows Brock will probably crush him. Cena refuses to give up, and if he was able to beat him at Extreme Rules at 2012, he'll be able to do it again. Paul Heyman shows up, and states that Lesnar will win at SummerSlam after plowing Cena into oblivion. Cena says that he shares the same passion for wrestling as Heyman, unlike Lesnar, and plans to walk away with the title. All of a sudden, Cesaro shows up, and even though they went their separate ways, he defends Heyman's honor and challenges Cena to a match after making fun of him, saying that Cena is a "walking billboard" that can't wrestle and making fun of his sneakers. Cena accepts that challenge, and he accepts it right now.

John Cena beats Cesaro.

Stephanie McMahon is distraught after the events of last week, and says "this" must work, whatever "this" is. Randy Orton confronts Triple H and wants to be in the SummerSlam main event, but Triple H refuses, saying Roman Reigns is in the way. He tells Orton to finish Reigns off if he wants a title shot, but Reigns is in a match with Kane tonight. Orton says he has a problem with Roman Reigns and Kane - and Triple H - upon hearing this.

Paige shows up. She still considers AJ Lee her best friend despite her actions from last week, when she saw her as a threat. AJ Lee shows up, and says she knows Paige did what she did out of spite, and if she wanted to talk crap to her, she'd do it to her face. Paige calls AJ "crazy." AJ forgives her, then she beats Paige up!

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up. Triple H says he's never been as ticked off as he was last week, when the WWE Universe considered it funny (according to him) that Stephanie was arrested and hauled off to jail. Nevertheless, Triple H says the arrest was just a misunderstanding. All charges from Brie Bella have been dropped except for the assault and battery charges, and Triple H and Stephanie McMahon now want to reconcile. Stephanie asks Brie to come out, but she and Triple H get Chris Jericho instead. Jericho gives Stephanie her sympathies by singing Bad Boys" by Inner Circle. He continues to make fun of Triple H and Stephanie, even calling Stephanie a "trash bag, bottom-feeding ho." Triple H tells Jericho to focus on Bray Wyatt, and Jericho responds by saying he wants Wyatt tonight. Triple H makes him wait until SummerSlam, but puts Jericho in a match against...Seth Rollins, who attacks Chris Jericho from behind with the Money In The Bank briefcase.

Dolph Ziggler and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The Miz and Rybaxel (Curtis Axel and Ryback). In the middle of the match, Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E watch from ringside.

R-Truth gives Bo Dallas his first loss ever on the main roster after a 17-match win streak. After the match, Bo Dallas congratulates R-Truth only to go completely ballistic and beat him up!

Lana and Rusev make fun of America as well as George W. Bush until Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter show up to defend the American flag. Jack Swagger and Rusev soon go at it, and Swagger soon comes out on top.

Damien Sandow shows up dressed as a NASA astronaut as he makes fun of Adam Rose and his Exotic Express Rosebuds.

Adam Rose beats Damien Sandow in a matter of seconds.

Dean Ambrose takes on Alberto Del Rio tomorrow on Main Event on WWE Network!

Randy Orton attacks Roman Reigns in the crowd as Reigns heads to the ring to face Kane. Kane eventually walks away to leave a downed Reigns with Orton, who proceeds to finish him off.

Diego beats Fandango thanks to the distraction by Summer Rae, Layla and El Torito. After the match, El Torito Gores Fandango!

Stephanie McMahon meets Nikki Bella, who tells her that her sister Brie Bella will arrive shortly and that Stephanie had better be ready to eat humble pie.

Goldust and Stardust figure out that they have the Cosmic Key.

Naomi and Natalya beat Cameron and Alicia Fox by submission.

Chris Jericho vs. Seth Rollins ends with a surprise attack by The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan).

Chris Jericho takes on Erick Rowan this Friday on SmackDown!

Stephanie McMahon shows up. As she speaks, Brie Bella shows up. Stephanie asks Brie to drop all the charges against her, but Brie isn't buying it. Stephanie wants to give Nikki a raise, but Brie wants some demands met. One is her job back. The other is a match against Stephanie McMahon at SummerSlam, which tears Stephanie apart and makes her very, very reluctant to agree to her demands. She agrees tearfully, but then she slaps Brie and tells her at SummerSlam, she's going to be her bitch. This starts a brawl between Brie and Stephanie that road agents and Triple H have to break up.
