Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 17, 2014

The Authority - Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Luke Harper, Lana, Rusev, Kane, Seth Rollins, Mark Henry, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury - show up to start the show. Triple H tells the audience to keep dreaming, as if The Authority feels they will win Sunday, as their loss will be the inmates running the asylum, which would be like - in HHH's words - World Championship Wrestling. But they're not waiting until Sunday to decimate John Cena (John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, Big Show, Sheamus), and plan to have a contract signing between both teams tonight. Stephanie McMahon announces that Luke Harper is an official member of Team Authority, then mentions Ryback's actions from last week...only for Ryback to show up. When Ryback shows up to say he wants what's back for Ryback, Stephanie McMahon tries to pour salt in an old wound by playing footage from Ryback's feud from last year with John Cena. It doesn't work, and Ryback decides to stay neutral. Triple H then pits Luke Harper against Dolph Ziggler in a match...and it's next.

Seth Rollins guests on commentary for the next match.

During the break, Luke Harper vs. Dolph Ziggler is changed so that the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Before the match can even begin, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury assault Dolph Ziggler from behind.

Thanks to Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury's attack on the champ before the bell can ring - and Ziggler insisting the match still go on - Luke Harper beats Dolph Ziggler to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship! After the match, Seth Rollins hits a Curb Stomp on Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler is out cold.

Grumpy Cat is not amused by The Miz and Damien Mizdow.

Tyson Kidd beats Adam Rose with the Sharpshooter when the Bunny doesn't help Adam Rose due to his fooling around with Natalya. When Rose tries to attack him, The Bunny takes out his sexual urges on Adam Rose and dry humps him. (You're reading this right.)

Bray Wyatt shows up. He still wants Dean Ambrose to join forces with him, but Dean Ambrose shows up on the TitanTron as Bray speaks. Dean Ambrose says he's tried to see things Bray's way, then admits that Bray is really looking at a pre-recorded message from earlier in the day. When the lights come back on, Dean Ambrose attacks Bray Wyatt, forcing Bray to retreat. Dean tells Bray he doesn't need saving, and that Bray should be more concerned about saving himself.

Larry the Cable Guy is the guest star for next week's Raw!

Ryback beats Cesaro. John Cena is watching from the back when Renee Young interviews Cena. Cena says that he knows Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are doing all they can to keep Team Cena from winning, but all they can do is persevere. As for Ryback, Cena isn't expecting him to come to the rescue after his declaration of neutrality.

Lana shows up and bashes America once again, saying American women's bodies don't compare to hers and trolling the audience with a topless pic...of her president. Heath Slater shows up dressed in an Uncle Sam get-up with a completely new entrance and challenges Rusev. Rusev puts him in the Accolade after a few powerful attacks and forces Slater to submit.

Grumpy Cat is still not impressed with The Miz and Damien Mizdow. Erick Rowan shows up, takes the Grumpy Cat doll that Mizdow is holding, and walks away.

Big Show is in the ring when Stephanie McMahon shows up. Stephanie makes fun of Big Show's World Championship Wrestling debut. then dangles a WWE Hall of Fame spot in front of him. All he has to do is quit Team Cena. Big Show tells her no, then Sheamus shows up, saying he wants her and Triple H out of power. Stephanie says it would be a shame if Sheamus were deported before Survivor Series, then puts Sheamus and Show in a match against each other where the winner gets a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (even though John Cena is still the number one contender).

Big Show vs. Sheamus ends when Rusev and Mark Henry brutally attack both of them. Sheamus is put through the commentary table with the World's Strongest Slam by Mark Henry, while Rusev sends Big Show into unconsciousness with the Accolade. With the Curb Stomp to Ziggler from earlier tonight, John Cena is a man alone at Survivor Series.

Bad News Barrett, Rosa Mendes, Fandango and Paul Heyman will be on the kickoff panel at Survivor Series!

AJ Lee guests on commentary for the next match...which is Nikki Bella versus her sister Brie Bella dressed as a very convincing (although tan) AJ Lee.

Brie Bella (or "AJ Brie," if you prefer) beats Nikki Bella thanks to the distraction from AJ Lee. After the match, Nikki attacks Brie, but Brie fights back...only for AJ to attack Brie.

Big E joins Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods in proclaiming a new day.

John Cena talks to Ryback in the locker room. Ryback still isn't interested in joining Team Cena.

This Friday on SmackDown: The Dean Ambrose Survival Kit.

Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust), The Miz and Damien Mizdow beat The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego) in a 4-on-4 tag team match after tricking an Uso into accidentally superkicking one-half of Los Matadores.

Sheamus is now in a local hospital after the attack from Mark Henry earlier tonight.

Team Authority - Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Luke Harper, Lana, Rusev, Kane, Seth Rollins, Mark Henry, Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury - show up for the Team Cena/Team Authority contract signing. HHH says Team Authority will stand tall...as they cannot lose. He gives Team Cena one last chance to back down, even though John Cena is the only member who hasn't been viciously attacked. Cena shows up, a man alone. He says Team Authority is going down, and will find his team on Sunday even if he has to pick four people out of the crowd. After Cena cracks one joke after another at Team Authority's expense, Team Cena reforms. Dolph Ziggler and Big Show show up...then Erick Rowan shows up. He is angry that Luke Harper sold out to The Authority, and yells and points at him. Cesaro is the last man...to join Team Authority. The real last man for Team Cena is Ryback, who finally has a change of heart and evens the odds. The brawl is on, and it ends quickly with Team Authority being decimated and Triple H getting an Attitude Adjustment through a table by Cena.
