Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 24, 2014

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up for the first time since their team's loss at Survivor Series last night. They verbally crap on the crowd and mention what Sting did, then Stephanie McMahon breaks down again and Triple H has to step in on the mic for her. HHH calls the crowd "bullies" for wanting to make Steph cry, and still think they're better than the crowd for knowing the business side of things. He then questions who is going to be the new General Manager, then questions why Sting did what he did last night, saying he put the demise of the WWE in motion with his actions. After asking the WWE Universe what they'll do with their lives when WWE dies out, HHH says that the WWE Universe will be begging for him and Stephanie to come back. All of a sudden, Daniel Bryan shows up and leads a "Yes!" chant in the ring to stick it to the former holders of the keys to the WWE kingdom. He gets in Triple H and Stephanie's way as they try to walk up the ramp to "Yes!" chant in their faces, then returns to the ring to continue the chant.



After the break, Daniel Bryan announces he's in charge of Raw for tonight. His first action? Trotting out Team Authority (Seth Rollins, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, Luke Harper, Kane and Rusev). He puts Seth Rollins in a handicap match against Dolph Ziggler and John Cena...and his two partners will be chosen by the WWE Universe. It's either the team of Mark Henry and Luke Harper, Henry and Kane...or Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury. As for Kane, he's made a concessions guy, and turns from Corporate Kane to Concessions Kane. Rusev is given the choice of either defending the United States Championship against the rest of the WWE or reciting the American pledge of allegiance to the WWE Universe. Luke Harper is put in a match against Dean Ambrose with the Intercontinental Championship on the line. Mark Henry is put in a match against Ryback...and it happens right now. No sooner does Ryback's music hit that Ryback goes right to work on Henry before the bell rings, and four officials have to separate Ryback from Henry.

Ryback beats "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry with just one Meat Hook.



Triple H and Stephanie McMahon run into Vince McMahon. Dear old Dad gets cheesed off with both of them and expects them to fix the mess they've gotten themselves into before they slink into the limo with them to head back home to Stanford.



Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper for the WWE Intercontinental Championship ends when Harper shoves Ambrose into the ref, causing the ref to call for the bell. Ambrose then beats up Harper, hits Dirty Deeds on him into a steel chair, then readies the table and ladder. All of a sudden, Ambrose is struck from behind by Bray Wyatt. Wyatt then causes chaos at ringside by burying Ambrose underneath a few commentary table chairs.



Santino Marella makes a surprise return along with Larry the Cable Guy from Jingle All The Way 2. Before he can do some comedy, Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust) show up.



The Miz and Damien Sandow retain the WWE Tag Team Championships against Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust) after a Skull Crushing Finale and pin from The Miz despite Damien Sandow doing all the work (and a Figure Four Leg Lock).



The concessions manager gives Kane crap. She keeps him away from the deep fryer due to his enjoyment in burning things and puts him in charge of chips.

Rusev and Lana complain about their fate in the ring, and are about to leave when Daniel Bryan shows up on the TitanTron. He tells Rusev to either recite the American pledge of allegiance or face the whole roster with his United States title on the line. In order to force the former option, he sends out Sgt. Slaughter to supervise. Midway through the pledge, Lana retreats and Rusev confronts Sgt. Slaughter. Suddenly, Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger show up, and Swagger forces Rusev to retreat. Swagger, Zeb and Slaughter put their hands over their hearts and say "We The People."



Santino Marella and Larry the Cable Guy meet Kane at the concession stand. Santino gets mustard on his hand. Also, Kane is a fan of Larry.

Fandango beats Justin Gabriel.



Big Show torments a backstage worker before the break.

Tomorrow on Main Event: Dean Ambrose vs. Kane!

Big Show shows up. He has heard the response to his actions last night, and says that he does hate Triple H and Stephanie McMahon...but last night, he panicked. He thought Team Cena would lose, and says the crowd should at least "owe him a mulligan," Then he turns on the crowd and says he is the Big Show and that he deserves respect. He calls out any "cowards" in the back who want to call him a traitor to show up and say it to his face. Erick Rowan shows up, and Big Show calls him "an upside-down Sheamus." He mocks Rowan, then tells him the ring is no place for him and that he should go back to the back. Rowan takes the microphone and tells him "I...don't...like...BULLIES!" before striking back, forcing Big Show to retreat.



Backstage, Seth Rollins implies to Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble that he doesn't believe they stand a chance in the ring. Enter Dolph Ziggler, who shows up, tells Joey and Jamie that he does, and that he's asked his 1.4 million Twitter followers to vote for them.

Before AJ Lee takes on Brie Bella, AJ congratules her and her sister Nikki Bella in the most sarcastic-jerkish way imaginable by saying that Brie has proven she is a "bigger skank than [her] sister" and pronounces "Let's be honest" as "Les-bi-awn-est," referring to the kiss Brie gave her before Nikki took the Divas title away from her at Survivor Series.

Brie Bella beats AJ Lee after a distraction from her sister Nikki Bella. After the match, AJ Lee grabs the mic and says that since they want to cheat their way to the top, she has news for them: the two of them aren't half the woman she is, and that talent isn't sexually transmitted.



Larry the Cable Guy and Santino Marella guest on commentary for the next match. When The Bunny dances with them before the next match, Adam Rose pulls him away by the ears.

Tyson Kidd and Natalya beat Adam Rose and The Bunny as The Bunny is pre-occupied outside the ring, proud of himself for pulling Adam Rose's foot out from under him from outside the ring...when he thought it was Tyson Kidd's.



Renee Young interviews Ryback. The Big Guy's in the mood for food...and he also pokes fun at the concession stand.

Kofi Kingston, Big E Langston and Xavier Woods bring in a new day...next week!

Ryback heads to the concession stand, and Kane tries to mess with him. It works against Kane...horribly.



Renee Young interviews John Cena and Dolph Ziggler. Cena says that with a team like him and Ziggler, you can expect the show to be stolen.

This Friday on SmackDown: Miz TV with Big Show!

Seth Rollins' tag team partners for the next match are revealed by Daniel Bryan to be none other than J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury).

John Cena and Dolph Ziggler beat Seth Rollins and J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) with a simultaneous Attitude Adjustment and Zig Zag and a double pin. After the match, Daniel Bryan rushes in and tosses Seth Rollins back into the ring and into a waiting Cena and Ziggler. After Cena and Ziggler are done with him, they and D-Bry lead a "Yes!" chant until a familiar smartphone sound fills the arena and the lights go on and off. The anonymous Raw General Manager - computer, podium, Michael Cole reading his will and all - is back next week with Cyber Monday, and promises "order and discipline will return."



Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!
