Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 2, 2015

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up. They talk about Super Bowl 49 and brag about how the New England Patriots won, then mention Kane and Big Show's retaliation against Roman Reigns before turning to The Rock's appearance in the Royal Rumble match, saying that The Rock interfered and affected the Royal Rumble match much like Sting affected the Survivor Series match a few months back. Triple H says that stuff like this has caused him to call out Sting so he can resolve this problem. Stephanie McMahon and Triple H then decide to nitpick Roman Reigns' Royal Rumble win when Reigns shows up and blatantly shows his opposition to this. Stephanie has to separate Triple H and Roman Reigns, and as Stephanie tries to nitpick Roman Reigns' win, Daniel Bryan shows up and demands a World Heavyweight title shot on the grounds that he was stripped of it. Triple H doesn't want to give it to him, on the grounds that he put himself in the Royal Rumble match. Seth Rollins shows up...

Seth Rollins tells Daniel Bryan that Brock Lesnar would eat him alive before nitpicking Roman Reigns' Royal Rumble win. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon decide to make a match: Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins, with the winner facing Roman Reigns. Whoever wins between Reigns and the winner of that match faces Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31. D-Bry tells Roman he wants to win that match and fight him at WrestleMania, and Rollins tells Roman he's a coward if he doesn't agree with this idea. Roman does just that, and this Road to WrestleMania is on. Triple H then tells Roman not to go anywhere, as he has to face Big Show...next.



Big Show beats Roman Reigns after Seth Rollins hits Reigns from behind with the Money In The Bank Briefcase. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon then make fun of Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan, and hope that Seth Rollins beats Daniel Bryan tonight. Triple H then says he plans to manipulate "Stone Cold" Steve Austin on his podcast - which airs on the WWE Network immediately after Raw goes off the air - with fabricated answers.





Curtis Axel shows up. He says he was never eliminated from the Royal Rumble match, and wants a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight title. Dean Ambrose shows up, tosses Curtis Axel out of the ring and tells him he's eliminated, then says he wants a shot at the Intercontinental title on the grounds that he beat Bad News Barrett last week. Curtis Axel rushes back into the ring and attacks Ambrose, but Ambrose fights back and puts Axel away with Dirty Deeds.



WWE pays tribute to Ernie "The Big Cat" Ladd as part of Black History Month.

The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) beat Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust). After the match, Stardust tells Goldust to get his head on straight before walking away.



Goldust and Stardust argue backstage.

John Cena shows up, After shilling the Stone Cold Podcast that airs on the WWE Network immediately after Raw goes off the air and talks about NXT and whatnot, he says he'll never give up, even with Triple H's vision of WWE is "a WWE without John Cena." He says will never give up against Rusev either, and says that their match will be for the WWE United States Championship. He then mentions his win from two weeks ago (along with video footage of it), the re-hiring of Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan that resulted from that win and the assistance from Sting, whom he thanks for making it happen. Ryback, Ziggler and Rowan show up. Stephanie McMahon appears on the TitanTron, however, and spoils the celebration by making some matches: Ziggler vs. Bray Wyatt, Rowan vs. Rusev, and Ryback vs. Luke Harper. Ryback vs. Harper is next. Before the match, Stephanie tells Ryback he'll be fed until he chokes and gags and wishes he didn't return to the WWE.

Ryback beats Luke Harper.



Cesaro beats Jimmy Uso.



Damien Mizdow is getting blueberries for The Miz at catering when somebody asks for Damien Mizdow's autograph. Mizdow signs, but Miz tears it up and tells the guy to buzz off. Miz tells him he's had it with Mizdow, and tells him he's the worst stunt double he's ever seen before firing him after telling he had it bad before he found him. Suddenly, Miz rehires him...as his personal assistant. Mizdow still mirrors him, still pretending to be his stunt double. Miz continues to push Mizdow around despite his sudden promotion.



John Cena and Erick Rowan talk in the locker room. Rowan says he was once treated like an animal, but no longer. He thanks Cena for helping him get his job back. Cena replies by saying he should have never been fired in the first place, but Rowan tells him that his unexpected time away changed him. Cena tells Rowan not to take Rusev lightly in his match tonight.

Bray Wyatt beats Dolph Ziggler.



Seth Rollins speaks with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in their office. Randy Orton is mentioned in the conversation, where Rollins states that he plans to beat Daniel Bryan tonight.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) guest on commentary for the next match.

Paige beats Alicia Fox. After the match, Alicia Fox puts Paige in a submission hold at The Bella Twins' (Brie and Nikki Bella) request, and the Bellas enter the ring to spray Paige's stomach with some sort of tanning spray.



The Miz guests stars on tomorrow night's premiere of Sirens on USA Network.

Sin Cara beats The Miz when Miz argues with Damien Mizdow for trying to get a cheap pop at the expense of The Miz.



Bray Wyatt calls himself the new face of fear in yet another cryptic warning.



Rusev beats up Erick Rowan before the match can even start. Lana directs our attention to a video package of Rusev. After the video package, she and Rusev celebrate as they usually do, but the Russian flag doesn't come down like it usually does, and Rusev and Lana are slighted by this. Rusev grabs the Russian flagpole in the corner and waves it around to make up for this.



This Thursday on SmackDown: The Miz hosts Miz TV. The special guests are Roman Reigns and his opponent at Fast Lane, which will be determined in the next match.

Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns talk in the locker room. They both agree that Seth Rollins will get what's coming to him, but Bryan says he's going to face Reigns at Fast Lane. Reigns doesn't care who he faces, because he's still going to WrestleMania 31.

Daniel Bryan beats Seth Rollins after a Superman Punch to Rollins by Roman Reigns (who shows up and hits Big Show with a Spear) and a kick to Jamie Noble's face when he tries to use the Money in the Bank briefcase on Daniel Bryan. Renee Young interviews Triple H, who saves his opinion of what just happened for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's podcast. After the match, Daniel Bryan thanks the fans and says he's going on to WrestleMania 31.



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