Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 28, 2015

John Cena shows up to start the show. He skips straight to the open challenge for the United States title...and it is answered by The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) with the toot of Xavier Woods' trombone. They plan to get rid of The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) this Saturday, and plan to take the United States title tonight. John Cena tells them to pick who fights for the title, but tells them to take him seriously or he's beating all their asses. Xavier Woods answers the challenge.

John Cena beats Xavier Woods by disqualification and retains the WWE United States Championship after Kofi Kingston and Big E, who were ejected out of the match due to interference, rush back in and save Woods from an STF. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) rush in soon after and go after The New Day (Kofi, Big E, Woods). The New Day fight back, but The Dudley Boyz stand outside of the ring alongside Cena.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) steal the win from John Cena and The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley).



Kane meets Triple H, Stephanie McMahon...and Ashley from Human Resources, who is watching Kane tonight due to an anonymous complaint that he is creating an unsafe workplace. Kane plays it cool.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns are in the locker room. Roman plans to finish this feud with Bray Wyatt one-on-one tonight. Ambrose says he'll take care of The Wyatt Family (Wyatt, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman) is still miffed with what happened with Chris Jericho at Night of Champions, and doesn't want Randy Orton to get involved, either. Orton appears - out of nowhere, of course - and tells Dean and Roman to finish their business tonight. After that, it's open season.

Big Show beats Mark Henry.



It's time for Miz TV! The Miz recaps the recent tiff between Paige and the team of Charlotte and Becky Lynch before introducing Charlotte and Becky as tonight's guests. Charlotte gives Paige a choice: either talk it out or throw down. The Miz takes offense to Charlotte "inviting guests onto his show," but Becky Lynch takes Miz's microphone and tosses it towards the entrance ramp. Suddenly, Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) show up and thanks Charlotte, Becky Lynch and The Miz for arguing like high schoolers as she takes back the Divas title. She also says that she started the Divas Revolution, but this starts an argument over who started the Divas Revolution. They almost come to blows, but then Paige shows up...to put everyone down, including the Bellas, telling them "With boyfriends like yours, who needs ambition?" This starts a brawl between Team Bella and Team PCB.



Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) beat Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte, Becky Lynch) after Paige leaves her teammates high and dry. Nattie shows up, confronts Paige, and tries to participate in the match only to be attacked by Paige. This distracts Charlotte, who falls victim to a Rack Attack for an easy win for Team Bella.



We see a video package for Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show as part of Brock Lesnar's "Go To Hell" Tour.



Seth Rollins talks to Ashley about Kane...who shows up. Seth Rollins keeps the moment from becoming awkward, but it becomes even more awkward when Kane gives Seth a big red giftbox. Inside is the head of Seth Rollins' bronze statue, and Kane says that he found it in the landfill with a shovel and a flashlight and that it took him all night, making the moment even more awkward. Rollins is weirded out, and hands Kane the statue head before leaving. Kane jokes around with the head before handing it to Ashley, who is also weirded out.

The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper and Braun Strowman) beat The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) with Strowman's bear hug.



Neville beats Stardust by disqualification after being Bull Hammered by the returning King Barrett. After that, Stardust eats a Bull Hammer as well, before Barrett declares that he has returned.



Kane is in the ring along with Ashley from HR. Seth Rollins shows up before she can announce the results of the evaluation, however, and tells Ashley that Kane is not who he appears to be, and shows a video package on the TitanTron to make his case, then says keeping him as Director of Operations would cause carnage. He also goes so far to say that the Pope told him he's going to Heaven. Kane says that Rollins is a fun-loving guy, and we see another video package filled with moments where Seth puts Kane down constantly. Ashley then announces that Kane is sound of mind and more than capable of fulfilling his duties, and says that Seth Rollins should be evaluated for his cruel behavior. Seth calls this a travesty of justice, and blames this on Kane. He drops the World Heavyweight Championship, and when Kane tries to pick it up, Seth hits him with the Pedigree. He then takes a steel chair and smashes Kane's recently healed knee before hitting him repeatedly with it as he is down. He then tries to re-injure the knee by placing it in the chair and stomping the chair. A stretcher is brought out as a doctor checks on Kane, and Seth mocks Kane, telling him that he will never take the World Heavyweight title and that his days of being jealous of him are over. The ambulance takes Kane away, but it suddenly stops and the inside of it glows red. Corporate Kane has transformed into Demon Kane, who literally stomps off his knee injury, then gets in the ring and fights Rollins, completely invincible to Seth Rollins' chair shots. Kane beats down Seth Rollins, but Rollins escapes the Tombstone Piledriver and runs to the back. Kane then lifts up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.



Bray Wyatt appears on the TitanTron. He is proud of Luke Harper and Braun Strowman, and plans to end the feud between him and Roman Reigns tonight.

The Buffalo Bills are front row at Raw. Bo Dallas then proceeds to make fun of the fact that the team does not have a Super Bowl trophy before the next match.

Randy Orton beats Bo Dallas.



Ryback guests on commentary for the next match.

Kevin Owens vs. Rusev ends with Rusev being thrown into Ryback, who fights off Rusev. Owens and Rusev attack Ryback until Dolph ZIggler shows up and takes down Rusev before forcing Owens to retreat with the Intercontinental Championship.



WWE Superstars and Divas take part in the #JustKeepDancing challenge to raise money for Connor's Cure.



Paul Heyman is in the ring. He hawks Brock Lesnar's "Go To Hell" Tour, and says that Lesnar will push a "complacent" Big Show to his limits before taking him to Suplex City. Big Show appears, saying Lesnar and Heyman are both afraid of him and that he takes Lesnar to his limits every time they meet in the ring. Heyman leaves the ring, and Big Show mocks him, telling him to think about his future...a future without Brock Lesnar.



Before the next match, Roman Reigns calls out Bray Wyatt for bringing Luke Harper and Braun Strowman with him, calling them "training wheels" and Bray Wyatt a "little bitch." Wyatt tells Harper and Strowman to leave. They do.

Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt ends in a double count-out, but the fighting continues into the crowd and outside of the ring, and ends with Roman Reigns hitting a Spear on Bray Wyatt, sending him right through a table.



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