Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 12, 2015

The show in New Orleans, Louisiana - the first since WrestleMania 30 - starts with John Cena entering the ring. He's glad to be back in New Orleans, but he's not glad that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are back in power and his Survivor Series teammates are fired. He knows none of them deserve to be fired, and so does the crowd. He wants everyone at home to use #AuthoritySucks on Twitter to drive the message to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. As for Cena, he has a Plan B: winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Royal Rumble, then taking his ball and going home with the title until Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan are re-hired. Triple H and Stephanie show up and mock his efforts, saying that Cena knew what he was getting into when he fought against them. They give Cena another chance, however, as "they didn't want to fire those guys last week." All Cena has to do is win his match tonight: a one-on-one match against Seth Rollins that Triple H turns into a Lumberjack match. HHH then brings out the lumberjacks, as the match is next.

Seth Rollins beats John Cena, thanks to the all-heel lumberjacks outside of the ring, which include Big Show, Kane and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble).

Stephanie McMahon talks with Dean Ambrose and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). The Usos get off easy for their comments about her and Triple H from last week, but not Naomi: she has to compete with one arm tied behind her back. As for Ambrose, he has to pass a psychological exam or else he won't be in the Royal Rumble match, as he checked himself out of the hospital after his match on last week's SmackDown, and Stephanie deems him a threat to himself and others.

The Miz and Damien Mizdow congratulate George Clooney for his Lifetime Achievement award at the Golden Globes, and hope he wins a Slammy one of these days.

Dean Ambrose has his psychological exam, which starts with an annoying, ticking clock.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) beat Tyson Kidd and Cesaro despite attempted interference from Adam Rose.

Next week on Raw: Hulk Hogan, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and Razor Ramon re-unite!

Big Show appears. He mocks the WWE Universe as he talks about being a giant, saying the crowd doesn't competition. Show says he'll stab the new guy on the job in the back to ensure job security...then talks about Roman Reigns, whom he calls a loser and plans to knock out so he can celebrate afterwards. He also calls Roman's fans "losers," as well. Roman Reigns shows up, and Big Show walks up the ramp. Reigns knows he's not a threat to Big Show, and then re-tells Jack and the Beanstalk his way as his way of telling Show he's the real loser.

Roman Reigns beats Luke Harper. After the match, Big Show attacks Roman Reigns and knocks him out.

Damien Mizdow tells The Miz that he recorded his every waking moment for the last six months for a movie.

Alicia Fox beats Naomi, who has one arm tied behind her back during the match. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) were also barred from ringside during the match.

Dean Ambrose's psychological exam continues with image association therapy.

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up. After showing footage of Lesnar breaking Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30, Heyman puts Lesnar on a pedestal, saying that Lesnar will show both John Cena and Seth Rollins the difference between fantasy and reality when Lesnar retains the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Royal Rumble.

The Miz beats Jey Uso after a game of tug-of-war involving both Jimmy Uso and Jey as well as Miz and Damien Mizdow, after Mizdow tries to interfere.

Daniel Bryan shows up. Last time he was in New Orleans, he became World Heavyweight Champion. He plans to do that again this year by winning the Royal Rumble match. All of a sudden, Stephanie McMahon shows up. After trying to hawk her workout DVD, she has to remind everyone of Daniel Bryan's injury that shelved him for eight months and patronize him. Daniel Bryan says he and the WWE Universe will never stop fighting, and Stephanie responds by putting D-Bry in a match against Kane - the same man who injured him - later this week on SmackDown. Daniel Bryan goes right after Kane, and though Kane gets the upper hand shortly into the brawl, Bryan fights back with a vengeance until officials break it up. Daniel Bryan is back.

Brie Bella beats Paige, thanks to Tyson Kidd causing a distraction by standing on the ring apron. After the match, Paige slaps him.

Bray Wyatt promises to win the Royal Rumble match.

It's official: "Macho Man" Randy Savage is the first inductee in the 2015 Class of the WWE Hall of Fame. He will be inducted into the Hall by Hulk Hogan.

The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) beat two random guys.

Dean Ambrose is now the psychologist...and tells the guy giving him the exam that not only is he a spineless, gutless, screwed-up heap of cow dung, but that it's weird when he sits down to pee.

Rusev and Lana are in the ring. After mocking Ryback's recent firing and declaring that Rusev is in the Royal Rumble match, Dean Ambrose shows up and brawls with Rusev.

Rusev beats Dean Ambrose when Ambrose can't continue with the match due to a hurt knee.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon bring out John Cena, Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar for the contract signing for their Royal Rumble match. Heyman gives credit where credit is due and thanks Seth Rollins for making all of this possible, but he is upset that the match is a Triple Threat Match and says Lesnar will soon conquer him and Cena. After lists of WWE accomplishments are thrown around and threats of ass whipping are made, all three men sign the contract. After this, all three men brawl, and after two German Suplexes, an Attitude Adjustment through a table and two Curb Stomps, Rollins is the last man standing.

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