Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 16, 2015

John Cena shows up to start the show. After a recap of how Rusev injured one of John Cena's eyes last week, and promises to beat Rusev at FastLane and prove that he hasn't lost a step quite yet. He also says that this match will be not a fun, happy match and will instead be a match of reckless abandon where he has to fight for respect and fight to win. Suddenly, Lana and Rusev show up. Lana puts Rusev on a pedestal, while Rusev promises to crush Cena and everything he stands for. Not long after this, Cena runs up the ramp and lays Rusev out, giving him the same treatment that Rusev gave Cena last week.



Dean Ambrose, dressed in a wrinkled suit jacket that looks a bit big for him, issues the news: he has a contract for an Intercontinental Championship match that Bad News Barrett will sign before Sunday.

Dean Ambrose beats Luke Harper.



Big Show walks in on Kane and Triple H backstage, and he and Kane immediately start arguing. Triple H tells them to take care of this tiff tonight and win their respective matches.

Bray Wyatt says "It's coming..."



Goldust and Stardust are backstage when Dusty Rhodes shows up. He tells them (Stardust especially) to stand together for once and put family first.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) beat Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust). After the match, Stardust helps his brother up...then puts him in the Cross Rhodes.



Byron Saxton interviews Roman Reigns. Whatever the obstacles or whatever the wave of public opinion rides, he plans to take his earned place at WrestleMania 31. As for Daniel Bryan, he has a ton of respect for him, but Daniel is only making it back into the WrestleMania picture because of him.

Backstage, Dusty Rhodes confronts Stardust. Stardust says that Cody Rhodes is dead, and as far as Stardust is concerned, so is his father.

Daniel Bryan guests on commentary for the next match.

Roman Reigns beats Kane by count-out when Kane tries to put Reigns through the commentary only to eat a Spear. After the match, Daniel Bryan starts a "Yes" chant at the commentary table and Roman dares him to get into the ring. Daniel Yes! chants his way around the ring instead.



Bray Wyatt is waiting for someone...

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) steal Paige's ring gear. Cameron refuses to lend Paige her's, but Paige runs into the Rosebuds and drags one of them to the locker room.

Paige, wearing the clothes of the Rosebud that she dragged into the locker room, beats Summer Rae with the PTO. After the match, The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) appear, but Paige says she doesn't need to make herself look good...but she would look good with the WWE Divas Championship around her waist.



Before his match, Seth Rollins bad-mouths President's Day and even goes so far as to say he could do anything he wants to in the future, including running for United States President and making The Daily Show watchable after Jon Stewart leaves the show. He is about to bad-mouth Dolph Ziggler when Ziggler shows up and makes fun of him.



Dolph Ziggler beats Seth Rollins by disqualification when J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) rush in and interfere after being sent back to the back after the commercial break. Ryback and Erick Rowan show up to even the odds when Ziggler is under attack.

The kick-off for FastLane is Miz TV with special guest Paul Heyman.

Triple H shows up. He is about to respond to Sting accepting his face-to-face confrontation when Ric Flair shows up. Flair tells him not to take Sting lightly, and not to put himself in a position to fail. Triple H says he doesn't need the history lesson, as he knows Sting well. He says Sting did the smart thing when he disappeared, and thinks Sting has now set out to destroy what he's built. Ric Flair tries to be the voice of reason, but some harsh words are thrown around and Triple H pushes Ric Flair to the ground before telling him he'll destroy anyone who gets in his way and promises to make sure Sting never shows his face in WWE again.



The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) attack Darren Young and his unnamed tag team partner (who is played by independent wrestler Kevin Kross, who will be in WWE as Karrion Kross almost five years later) before their match can begin. Titus O'Neil shows up and makes the save, marking the first time Young and O'Neil have been on the same side since they unamicably broke up.



The Miz asks Bad News Barrett to humble Damien Mizdow, and he'll keep an eye out for Dean Ambrose for him in return.

Bad News Barrett beats Damien Mizdow, again due to Miz's constant interruptions. After the match, Dean Ambrose rushes in and attacks Barrett, zipties his hands to a post and forces him to sign the contract for an Intercontinental title match.



Bray Wyatt hammers a nail into what seems to be a wooden casket.

Naomi and Jimmy Uso beat Natalya and Tyson Kidd.



Big Show beats Daniel Bryan by disqualification after Roman Reigns hits Show with the Superman Punch in response to Show hitting him with a Spear outside of the ring that Daniel Bryan dodged. This leads to a lengthy brawl between the two that takes multiple officials and trainers to break up. During the match, Roman Reigns sat at ringside, signed autographs, took selfies with fans and passed out T-shirts in an attempt to distract D-Bry which fails.





Here are the highlights for tonight's show!
