Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 11, 2014

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar kick the show off with a bang. Lesnar has a message for fans of John Cena: bad things happen when you get in the ring with Brock Lesnar, and after SummerSlam, John Cena won't be seen again for long. Heyman goes on to say that the WWE is Brock's house now, and he's coming home soon.



When Roman Reigns gets in the ring tonight, he meets Kane, who is now unmasked and in a suit again. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's hand-picked opponent for him tonight? Rybaxel (Curtis Axel and Ryback).

Roman Reigns beats Rybaxel (Curtis Axel and Ryback) by disqualification after Rybaxel keep double-teaming Roman outside of the ring, refusing to listen to the ref. After the match, Reigns quickly overpowers them. Shortly afterwards, Renee Young interviews Roman. It's clearly obvious he's ready for SummerSlam, as he's not afraid of Randy Orton.



Randy Orton tells Kane he'll end Roman Reigns this Sunday at SummerSlam. Kane tells him he's got an opponent tonight to get him ready for Sunday...Sheamus.

Seth Rollins beats Rob Van Dam. After the match, Rollins messes with the biggest present for Hulk Hogan on the top of the entrance ramp. As he leaves, Dean Ambrose pops out of it and chases Rollins into the audience before telling the WWE Universe that he's going to get more than his money's worth beating Rollins up at SummerSlam.



Stephanie McMahon shows up. She brings Daniel Bryan's physical therapist, Megan Miller, to the ring. Megan confesses that she can't be his physical therapist because she's had an affair with him. Brie Bella shows up and Stephanie tells her that Daniel Bryan used her and called her "a dead fish." Brie slaps Megan, then she goes after Stephanie and puts her in the Yes! Lock until officials pull her off of Stephanie. Stephanie then says they're not waiting until SummerSlam...they're doing this tonight.



Jack Swagger beats Cesaro. After the match, Zeb tells Lana and Rusev that Swagger will reign supreme at SummerSlam. Rusev and Lana show up to stare at Zeb and Swagger from the entrance ramp.



Michael Cole leaves the room, and Bray Wyatt does the interviewing with Chris Jericho. Needless to say, it gets crazy.



Eva Marie beats AJ Lee after the distraction by Paige. Paige apologizes to AJ for last week, then says he's winning the Divas title back Sunday. After Paige leaves, AJ takes her anger out on Eva Marie.



Tomorrow on Main Event: The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) issue an open challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championships!

John Cena shows up. He refuses to lay down for Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, and says Lesnar will have to make him lose if he wants to take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from him. He says that to fight a beast, he must become one, and he promises to unleash a John Cena we have never seen before in order to beat Lesnar. He then says the WWE is our house, and calls out Lesnar to kick him out of his living room. Lesnar doesn't show up, but Cena takes the time to tell Paul Heyman that he will conquer the conqueror on Sunday.



When Brie Bella heads out to the ring for her match with Stephanie McMahon, Stephanie shows up not dressed for competition, and announces that Megan Miller now wants to press charges. Brie is arrested, and Stephanie gloats about it.



The Miz guests on commentary for the next match.

Heath Slater beats Dolph Ziggler by count-out after Ziggler goes after The Miz. After the match, Dolph Ziggler tries to show good sportsmanship towards Slater, but Slater tries to kick him in the gut. Ziggler reverses the kick into a Zig Zag.



Randy Orton beats Sheamus.



All the Superstars and Divas are out for Hulk Hogan's birthday party. Jimmy Hart and "Mean" Gene Okerlund kick off the proceedings! After a video package of Hogan's WWE and WCW careers, Hulk showers his love for the WWE Universe and his fans. Ric Flair shows up, as does "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in nWo shirts. Hulk Hogan takes off the red and yellow shirt to reveal an nWo tanktop underneath. As old friends celebrate, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman crash the party, but Cena runs into the ring to confront Lesnar. Lesnar and Heyman retreat.







Live on the WWE Network, the celebration continues. Heath Slater and Titus O'Neil try to send in the cake, but they argue over who gives it to Hulk Hogan to the point that the cake is all over Titus and he and Heath have a cake fight. Another, bigger cake is brought in with "$9.99" candles on top, and everyone sings "Happy Birthday." Everyone leaves, and Hulk Hogan has the ring to himself. The celebration ends with loads of confetti raining down on the arena.

Throughout the show, various celebrities wished Hulk Hogan a happy birthday.
