Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 9, 2015

The show starts with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on a pedestal in the center of the ring. Triple H then arrives. For those unaware, Seth Rollins suffered a ACL/MCL/menial meniscus tear in his right leg during a live event in Dublin, Ireland. Triple H takes the time to acknowledge the World Heavyweight Championship reign of Seth Rollins, and "Thank you, Rollins" can be heard in the crowd. He then mentions that there will be a tournament for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, starting tonight. He then brings out Roman Reigns, who is currently the #1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Roman Reigns finds out straight from Triple H that he was strongly considered to be groomed by The Authority, but Seth Rollins proved he was willing to do anything to make his way to the top. Triple H tells him there will be a tournament for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and he offers him a bye to the finals. All Roman has to do is not just be "The Man," but also Triple H's man. Roman Reigns is asking Triple H if he wants him to sell out, but Triple H is telling Roman to become a "reality man" and to shrug off any and all criticism that would come his way if he were to do this. Roman rejects the power, telling Triple H he wants to earn it on his own, and Triple H welcomes him to the back of the line before he thanks him for reminding him why he didn't pick him. HHH then tells Roman not to go anywhere because his match is next...and it's against Big Show.



Roman Reigns beats Big Show to continue to the quarterfinals of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Tournament.



Wayne Rooney of Manchester United is in the crowd tonight.

Kevin Owens shows up, tells people to buy his theme song on iTunes, that he has pockets in his ring gear, and that the WWE needs change...before bashing the UK fans for having a thing for the British royal family and that the change he wants will only benefit him. He plans to hold both the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championships simultaneously and change the WWE into "The Kevin Owens Show."

Kevin Owens beats Titus O'Neil to continue to the quarterfinals of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Tournament, then wears JBL's hat.



Renee Young interviews Paige, who faces Becky Lynch tonight. She plans to take down Becky tonight, then focus on Charlotte - whom she calls "Baby Flair" - at Survivor Series.

We look back at Undertaker vs. Sycho Sid at WrestleMania 13 in 1997, when The Undertaker won the WWE Championship for the second time. We also look back at Money In The Bank 2010, when Kane cashed in on Rey Mysterio to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Becky Lynch beats Paige after reversing a pin attempt. Paige then attacks Becky Lynch, then puts her in the PTO on the announce table until Charlotte arrives, forcing Paige to retreat.



Fans in Dallas, Texas get an allotment of tickets for WrestleMania 32 and meet a score of WWE Superstars and Divas.



Dolph Ziggler beats The Miz to continue to the quarterfinals of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Tournament despite still having to deal with a bad leg.



We look back at Survivor Series 2005, when The Undertaker returned to destroy the SmackDown roster. We also look back at Night of Champions 2012, when Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan) won the tag team titles and started one of the weirdest teams in WWE history.

Alberto Del Rio and Zeb Colter show up. He says that England would be part of Mexamerica if they weren't so despised around the world. Zeb tells England to lead themselves, as "we're not leading you anymore," other nations are "already telling them what to do" and "Scotland doesn't want anything to do with them." Del Rio then says that England is only populated by "haters." As for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Del Rio plans to go all the way, even when the tournament continues into SmackDown, and become the first "Mexamerican Heavyweight Champion."



Natalya beats Naomi, and fights off Sasha Banks until Tamina super kicks her. Sasha then gets Banks Statment on Natalya, who is mocked by Sasha, Naomi and Tamina and almost immediately taps out.



We look back at SummerSlam 2008, when The Undertaker takes on Edge in a Hell in a Cell Match. We also look back at Edge and Lita's wedding in 2005, when Kane hit the Tombstone Piledriver on a priest.

During commercial break, King Barrett says he would fight Wayne Rooney of Manchester United in the ring, but says he would hate for his son to see him fail in the ring just like he recently did on the soccer field.

Cesaro beats Sheamus to continue to the quarterfinal of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Tournament when Wayne Rooney slaps King Barrett in the face for running his mouth. Cesaro takes advantage of the distraction to get a roll-up victory.





Renee Young interviews Tyler Breeze about his Raw debut. He plans to make the WWE beautiful, starting with Dean Ambrose, whom he and Summer Rae thinks looks like garbage. Breeze says he plans to become the new face of WWE come Survivor Series.

Despite having to deal with a hurt arm, Dean Ambrose beats Tyler Breeze with a roll-up to continue to the quarterfinals of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.



We look back at WrestleMania 28, when Triple H and The Undertaker ended an era in Hell in a Cell. We also look back at Royal Rumble 2001, when Kane eliminated 11 men in one Royal Rumble match, which stood as a record for 13 years.

Ryback takes on Kalisto, Neville takes on King Barrett, and Del Rio takes on Stardust - all in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Tournament, all this Thursday on SmackDown!

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up, not happy that they're left out of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title Tournament. They remind us that they laid out Dolph Ziggler, The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) and John Cena, then says this match is dedicated to their fallen captain Seth Rollins.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) beats Neville and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) after the trombone is tossed into the ring to distract the referee and Xavier Woods uses the ropes to get the pinfall.



Bray Wyatt shows up. He plans to celebrate change, which he says isn't easy but is inevitable. He celebrates the spirits of Kane and The Undertaker, and asks the WWE Universe to pay respect to them, then calls them all fools as their respect is now his, and goes so far as to say he now owns them. He then says that the apocalypse is now here...then suddenly, a video package of Kane and The Undertaker plays on the TitanTron. Lightning strikes, then columns of fire roar. Kane and The Undertaker suddenly return, cutting Bray Wyatt's eulogy short. After Kane and The Undertaker get in the ring, the rest of The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) show up only to get cut down by the brothers, and even Strowman's most powerful efforts cannot stop them. The show ends with Kane and 'Taker both choke slamming Bray Wyatt, before walking up the entrance ramp and looking back, then turning back around and raising their fists in the air.





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