Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 13, 2016

As Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango) get a tan in a tanning machine during the Raw pre-show, The Golden Truth (Goldust and R-Truth) crank up the machine all the way to max.

The show starts with a moment of silence in remembrance of the recent Orlando nightclub shooting.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up. As they talk about their Fatal Four-Way match for the tag team title match, jokes are made about Kofi's choice of footwear. Before they can leave, Enzo Amore and Big Cass arrive and say they are walking out of Las Vegas and Money In The Bank with the tag team titles. After Big Cass roasts Kofi's choice of footwear, Big Cass tells Xavier Woods that his trumpet Francesca II "cheated" on Xavier with Enzo, who talks about how he blew Francesca. When Kofi announces a battle of wits between both parties, The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch) show up and say they will take the tag team titles at Money In The Bank. As Aiden English sings, The Club (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) appear and tell everyone to shut up before announcing they will be the next tag team champions. Big Cass then tells all the heels outside of the ring that they're S-A-W-F-T sawft.



The Club (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) and The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E), Enzo Amore and Big Cass.



WWE looks back at the history of The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns).









Shane McMahon meets with Stephanie McMahon backstage. As they argue over who takes Raw and who takes SmackDown, Corporate Kane makes a surprise return and offers his services, giving them his resume and a letter of recommendation from The Undertaker.



Zack Ryder talks about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie with friends when Sheamus shows up and says he'll destroy him tonight, then make a joke out of Apollo Crews at Money In The Bank.

The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico) talk about the clean beaches of Puerto Rico, then tells us to come over there.



Rusev attacks Titus O'Neil before he can have his match tonight.



It's time for The Ambrose Asylum. Dean Ambrose's guests tonight are his former Shield teammates, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Ambrose asks the burning questions about Sunday night, then welcomes Rollins by calling him "the scum of the earth" before welcoming Reigns. Ambrose asks about the knee, but Rollins chastises him for not watching his WWE 24 special on the WWE Network and says his knee is ready to go. Ambrose then jokes around with Reigns, then with Rollins, but Rollins isn't in the mood and Ambrose tells him not to be a party pooper. Rollins then looks back on fond Shield memories after Ambrose says they had good times in the ring together, and Rollins agrees with Ambrose. He then says that his best moment was taking a steel chair and putting it in Ambrose and Reigns' backs. Reigns then says he's walking both in and out as champ at Money In The Bank, and Rollins asks if Reigns ever beat him for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns then asks why he has the title, and Rollins says it's because he's been injured for the better part of last year, and that Roman earned it while he was gone, and brings up the fact that he beat Ambrose, Sheamus and Triple H to do it, but says that Reigns has yet to beat him and that he can't do it. Rollins says he got the title on his own, and that Roman couldn't do it without it, and that he will take the title back on Sunday. Roman tells Reigns that he broke up not only The Shield, but also a brotherhood, and that he will finally be "The Guy" on Sunday because he beat Rollins. Ambrose then brings up a "what if:" what if he wins the Money In The Bank briefcase and cashes in on either of them in the same night? This starts a brawl between the three. Rollins almost hits a Pedigree on Ambrose only to eat a Superman Punch. Ambrose then hits Dirty Deeds on Reigns.



We look back at Seth Rollins' 2014 Money In The Bank Ladder Match win.

Dean Ambrose meets with Stephanie McMahon, and we learn that Shane McMahon has reinstated The Ambrose Asylum. Ambrose then learns he has a match with Chris Jericho tonight. Ambrose still thinks there is a tinge of hatred in Stephanie, but Stephanie says that hatred is good and that you just have to know how to use it.

Natalya and Becky Lynch guest on commentary for the next match.

Paige beats Charlotte when Dana Brooke's assistance backfires.



Backstage, Charlotte tells Dana Brooke that if she messes up as badly as she just did again at Money In The Bank, she's done with her.



Renee Young interviews Cesaro when Sami Zayn shows up...and it gets awkward from there. Cesaro says Sami is acting like a child, and that he still has a lot to prove, and that he should start proving tonight.

Sheamus beats Zack Ryder, then attacks Ryder until Apollo Crews makes the save, forcing Sheamus to retreat through the crowd. During the match, it is announced that Sheamus is taking on Apollo Crews in the Money In The Bank kick-off.



We look back at Kane's 2010 Money In The Bank Ladder Match win.

As Kane tries to make bygones be bygones with Shane McMahon, Kevin Owens shows up and says Alberto Del Rio just showed up 20 minutes ago and should be out of the Money In The Bank Ladder Match because of it. Del Rio shows up and says he knows it was Owens who called airport security on him and stopped him for five hours. Del Rio speaks Spanish, Owens peaks French, and Kane puts them in a tag team match against The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto)...and if The Lucha Dragons win, they replace Del Rio and Owens in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Sami Zayn beats Cesaro.



We get a behind-the-scenes look at the production trucks courtesy of DeVry University.



Michael Cole is in the ring for the contract signing between John Cena and AJ Styles. Cena is introduced first, and he talks about the dream match between him and AJ Styles before introducing Styles. Styles says he will run circles around Cena, then asks where he signs. There are two contracts: one that lets Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson be at ringside, and aone that does not. Cena tells him to pick which one he signs carefully, telling him that having Anderson and Gallows will prove nothing. Styles thinks this is a trick, and says that if he were in WWE 15 years ago, he'd be the star, not Cena. Cena tells him to man up and do it now. Styles signs the contract that makes the match strictly one-on-one, and tells Cena that this Sunday, Cena's time is up and his time is now.



We look back at Randy Orton's 2013 Money In The Bank Ladder Match win.
Alberto Del Rio and Kevin Owens beat The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto and Sin Cara) to stay in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match despite not being on the same page throughout the entire match. Del Rio attacks Owens after the match.




We hear from The Miz again as he is on the set of The Marine 4.



Kevin Owens complains about Shane McMahon to Stephanie McMahon about the match from earlier, as well as the fact that Sami Zayn is on commentary for Ambrose vs. Jericho, and wants to be on commentary, too. As Stephanie is surprised by the fact that Sami Zayn is on commentary for this match, Del Rio confronts Owens for "kissing up to the boss lady" and wants to be out there if Owens is. Stephanie McMahon makes him the special guest timekeeper for Ambrose vs. Jericho.

Cracks form in the partnership between Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon as they try to one-up each other. Shane makes Cesaro guest ring announcer and accuses Stephanie McMahon of bringing Corporate Kane back. Kane shows up and it becomes apparent that he will not run SmackDown. Shane then says she and Stephanie will both continue to co-run Raw...but he's running SmackDown.



Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are special guest commentators, Cesaro is special guest ring announcer and Alberto Del Rio is special guest timekeeper for the next match.

Dean Ambrose beats Chris Jericho. After the match, Ambrose, Jericho, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Cesaro and Alberto Del Rio all brawl. Jericho climbs a ladder and grabs the Money In The Bank briefcase.
