Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 25, 2016

Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon start off tonight's show. Vince claims that his family has officially broken Roman Reigns in half, and that when the McMahon family does that to someone, they stay that way. Vince then makes a confession: he enjoys watching the miseries and misfortunes of others (which we've known all along). Stephanie says she had us eating from the palm of her hands, as Triple H surprised everyone last night and that nobody can hold a candle to him. She then introduces Triple H, who shows up in the suit and tie while wearing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Triple H calls Roman Reigns one of the most awesome athletes he's seen, but he's not as good as him. He says that Roman is cocky and disrespectful towards Vince, and says Vince might as well be God, and that he will be damned if Roman Reigns disrespects him. He then makes it clear that he's not done yet and that his time has not yet passed, and that he wants to and will be WWE World Heavyweight Champion for as long as the locker room learns some respect. He says that Roman Reigns doesn't deserve the title. Triple H, Stephanie and Vince decide to tighten the iron fist, as everyone in a match tonight during this "action packed Raw" will be evaluated as an opponent for Triple H at Fastlane will be determined.

Flo Rida is in the audience tonight.

Kevin Owens beats Dolph Ziggler.

Heath tells Flo Rida to sit there and not make him mad after what happened in their last encounter, but Bo Dallas challenges him to get into the ring and face the four of them. Slater then proposes a rap battle between Flo Rida...and Bo Rida. Flo Rida easily wins it...by sicking The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) on them.

After high-fiving Pat Patterson, he finally heads to the gorilla position and goes through the curtains to hit the ring. The Rock is ready for WrestleMania 32, as is everyone else, then chats a bit with some guys in the front row dressed as Hulk Hogan, "The Macho Man" Randy Savage and The Undertaker as well as someone with a replica WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Suddenly, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up and make fun of his family on the roster before talking about all the gold they have, as even Francesca II is made out of gold. They then make fun of The Rock. The Rock then makes fun of them, then tells them to get in the ring with them, but they refuse, and The Rock brings out The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso).
