Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 25, 2016



Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley are in the ring to start tonight's show. They bring out the entire Raw roster, who stand at the top of the entrance ramp. Foley hopes they bring the most exciting episode of the show they can every week. Stephanie then shames Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins for not winning the WWE Championship last night, and says that Raw will get a world champion. Foley announces that tonight's episode will feature two Fatal 4-Way matches. The winners of those two matches will face each other in the main event tonight, and the winner of that match will face Seth Rollins for a brand new title: the WWE Universal Championship. Sami Zayn, Sheamus, Chris Jericho, Cesaro, Roman Reigns, Rusev, Kevin Owens, and Finn Balor are picked to compete in the Fatal 4-Way matches. Due to tapping out to Sasha Banks last night, Charlotte will be defending the WWE Women's Championship against Sasha Banks.

We then see a video package of their tag team title reign. The New Day then announce they will pick one person to be an honorary member of The new Day out of the crowd, whose name actually happens to be Sonny Boy. Sonny Boy celebrates with The New Day, when suddenly The New Day are attacked by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, who hit the Magic Killer on Big E. Sonny Boy escapes unharmed, but Gallows and Anderson find him in the front row and degrade him for being an honorary member.
