Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 13, 2015

John Cena shows up amidst a "John Cena sucks" chorus in London, United Kingdom. He admits that he and the crowd here don't get along, but there are still wrestling fans as far as the eye can see. When he throws down the open challenge for the week, Bad News Barrett answers. He asks why he should wait until after beating Daniel Bryan to become Intercontinental champ when he could win the United States title in his home country.

John Cena retains the WWE United States Championship against Bad News Barrett. After the match, Lana shows up. As she speaks, Rusev attacks Cena from behind with a chain. As Cena lays in the center of the ring, Lana announces that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have made Rusev's rematch clause match for the United States title at Extreme Rules official...and that it will be a Russian Chain Match.





Next week, Triple H will make an announcement concerning WWE Tough Enough, which is poised to return to television this summer.

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

Paige wins a Divas Battle Royal to become the new #1 contender for the WWE Divas Championship at Extreme Rules.



After the break, Byron Saxton interviews Paige, who thanks the British fans for their support over the years. Suddenly, she is attacked by Naomi, who finally snaps after being the last person eliminated in the battle royal.

We get another cryptic message from Bray Wyatt.



The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) beat The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor).



Booker T interviews Roman Reigns in the ring. Once again, Roman talks about how close he came to winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. When asked about Big Show screwing him out of another title shot, Roman calls Show "[Seth Rollins'] giant bitch." Show shows up on the TitanTron and brags about his recent accomplishments and how he enjoys keeping him down, and that he's going to make Roman an epic failure. Roman tells Show that if he continues to get in his business, he plans to retire him by shoving his Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy down his throat. As Reigns leaves, Big Show comes out from the back and immediately demolishes Reigns, choke slamming him on the big black taxicab that serves as a prop during WWE's United Kingdom televised events and slamming him into the doors. (During the break, medical staff try to help Reigns, who refuses medical help, gets off of the top of the car and heads to the back under his own power.)



Randy Orton beats Cesaro by disqualification after Tyson Kidd tries to fight Orton. Kane shows up and restarts the match as a 2-on-1 Hanidcap Match between Orton and the team of Tyson Kidd and Cesaro. If Orton wins, he gets to pick the stipulation for his match against Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules.

Randy Orton beats Tyson Kidd and Cesaro.



Kane and Seth Rollins talk backstage. If Rollins beats Dolph Ziggler, he gets to pick a stipulation, too. Rollins doesn't want to face Ziggler, and makes Jamie Noble his opponent so that Jamie will lay down for him. Jamie reminds Kane that the current situation is all on him, and threatens to do something to him that involves a car battery and his testicles. Rollins has a better idea: him vs. Kane to protect him and his title. Kane, knowing he's backed into a corner when Rollins threatens to get Triple H on the horn, walks away silently.

Dean Ambrose beats Adam Rose.



Big Show talks to Kane backstage, telling him to do what needs to be done concerning Seth Rollins. Kane assures him he will.

Stardust beats Fandango, giving Fandango his first loss in a while. After the match, Fandango dumps Rosa Mendes and goes back to his old theme song, saying he should have shared his dance with the world instead of solely with Rosa.



Daniel Bryan talks to Kane backstage, telling him he's not the Kane he once knew. This angers Kane, and Daniel tells him that if he had any guts, he'd be a man and not a stooge when he got in the ring with Seth Rollins.



This Thursday on SmackDown, John Cena holds another open challenge for the WWE United States Championship and responds to Rusev's Russian Chain Match stipulation for their US title rematch at Extreme Rules.

Kane demolishes Seth Rollins and appears to refuse to lay down...only to lay down and put Seth Rollins' arm over his to give Rollins the win, allowing Seth Rollins to pick another stipulation for his match against Randy Orton at Extreme Rules.



Damien Mizdow (accompanied by Summer Rae) gets the roll-up victory against The Miz.



The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) make fun of Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego).



Ryback beats Luke Harper by disqualification after Harper uses a part of the commentary table as a weapon. Dean Ambrose soon rushes in and fights Harper as revenge for Harper putting him through a ladder at WrestleMania 31, but Harper escapes through the crowd and tosses a steel chair at Ambrose.



Byron Saxton interviews Naomi, who is ticked that she's been passed up for opportunities at the Divas title after having recently beaten Nikki Bella twice. She is tired of having her kindness taken for weakness, and she's not waiting for another chance at the title.

Dolph Ziggler is in the ring. He criticizes Kane for laying down for Seth Rollins, then issues an open challenge. Neville answers it.

Dolph Ziggler beats Neville in a short but well-received match. After the match, Ziggler is Brogue Kicked from behind by Sheamus, who then proceeds to attack Neville before brawling with Ziggler and ending up on top.



This Thursday on SmackDown, Big Show will explain his actions towards Roman Reigns earlier tonight.

Seth Rollins and J&J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) show up to a ring with a black canvas and black leather chairs. After defending Kane's actions from earlier tonight, he is about to mention his stipulation for his match against Randy Orton when he calls out Orton. Orton shows up. After some talk, Rollins announces his stipulation: the RKO is banned. Orton then announces his stipulation: a steel cage match. He then topples the recliner that Rollins is sitting in and then fights off J&J Security before attacking Rollins, who then retreats to end the show.



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