Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 29, 2016

In a WWE.com interview, Cesaro hopes to make a comeback and win the second match in his best-of-seven series with Sheamus, but still feels that he is being passed by.

During the pre-show, Sasha Banks is interviewed via Skype. Sasha Banks says her match at SummerSlam was a blur and doesn't remember when she realized that her back was injured. She's just thankful she doesn't have to take time off and get surgery like Finn Balor does, and she just wants to go back into the ring and become a two-time Women's Champion, saying Charlotte doesn't deserve the title after proving that she is a coward.

Tonight's show is in memory of Mr. Fuji, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 82.

Corey Graves is in the ring with Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Big Cass and Seth Rollins. Rollins brags about injuring Finn Balor at SummerSlam, and says he's the favorite to win the Universal title tonight. He then donates his speaking time to someone he feels deserving to win the title: Kevin Owens. With Sami Zayn out of the picture, the Universal title is all that matters to him, and he says that he fights smarter and harder than everyone else in the ring. When Cass speaks for himself and Kevin Owens makes fun of it, Cass asks if Jericho told him what to say. He then says he hasn't been here long, but he's the biggest dog in the fight despite nobody expecting him to win. Seth Rollins then tells everyone else that he's glad their match is under elimination rules, as he plans to beat everyone else himself. Roman is the last to have a chance to talk about the match, and he responds by punching Kevin Owens out before starting a brawl where he lays everyone else out.

Tom Phillips interviews Chris Jericho before the next match. He says Neville may be coming to save the day like Mighty Mouse, but he's only coming to get the gift of Jericho.

Chris Jericho beats Neville after reversing a hurricanrana into the Walls of Jericho.

Dana Brooke spoils Bayley's initial meeting with The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) by saying Bayley will never succeed, but The New Day remind Dana that Bayley beat her in her debut last week. Dana then challenges them to a match against her and the team of Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson). Not surprisingly, it's on.

Andrea D'Marco interviews Hyan, who faces Nia Jax tonight. Everything is bigger in Texas, including her heart. Here's to hoping her heart is still beating after her match tonight.

Nia Jax quickly beats Hyan.

Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) are now in the retirement business, and they plan to retire The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) as tag team champions. Dana Brooke shows up as their "nurse."

We see a video package of Seth Rollins concerning tonight's main event, where Rollins says he will walk in the man and walk out WWE Universal Champion.

Sami Zayn beats Jinder Mahal.

We see the injury update from Sasha Banks from the pre-show.

Charlotte guests on commentary for the next match.

Bayley and The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) beat Dana Brooke and Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson).

Tom Phillips interviews Cesaro. Despite being in a rough spot, he considers any day he can beat up Sheamus a great day despite being in a rough spot in the best-of-seven series.

We see a video package of Big Cass concerning tonight's main event, where it's clear he's the dark horse to win.

Byron Saxton interviews Sheamus in the ring before the next match. Sheamus says Cesaro is desperate, and that he doesn't share the same personality that he does. He says Cesaro has spent his whole like trying to be a WWE champion, and says Cesaro will be devastated when he finds out he is better.

Sheamus beats Cesaro with the Cloverleaf to lead 2-0 in their best-of-seven series after sending Cesaro back first into a ring post.

The Cruiserweight Division is coming in three weeks, and we hear from Tommaso Ciampa, Cedric Alexander and Johnny Gargano.

Stephanie McMahon shows up. She addresses Brock Lesnar's actions at SummerSlam, and says she did not welcome the attack on her brother Shane McMahon. Paul Heyman shows up, says Lesnar provides value to Raw and pays Brock Lesnar's fine of $500...in one-dollar bills. Stephanie slaps the money out of his hands and asks what value Heyman brings to the brand, Stephanie tells Heyman that a storm is coming, but Heyman says Lesnar in the storm. He knows Lesnar put Stephanie in an uncomfortable position with the Board of Directors, and begs for forgiveness. Stephanie accepts his apology.

We see a video package of Roman Reigns concerning tonight's main event, and much like Roman, the action of the footage does the talking.

Darren Young beats Titus O'Neil with a surprise crucifix pin. Titus then attacks Darren and Bob Backlund after the match.

Mick Foley tells Stephanie McMahon he should have been out in the ring with her, and proposes banning all friends and tag teams from ringside for tonight's main event, an idea which Stephanie welcomes. Seth Rollins shows up and says tonight will be the best night when he brings the WWE Universal Championship home. He hopes not to let her down.

In a shocking twist of events, Triple H returns to WWE for the first time since WrestleMania 32 to hit the Pedigree on Roman Reigns and help Seth Rollins eliminate Roman Reigns...which shortly becomes nothing compared to what he does next: turn on Seth Rollins by hitting him with a Pedigree and allowing Kevin Owens to get the pin. Kevin Owens beats Big Cass, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in an elimination Fatal Four-Way Match to become the WWE Universal Champion!

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