Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 8, 2016

During the pre-show, Neville says he's over his ankle injury, and that he's ready to fly higher than ever. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) show up, call Neville "Mighty Mouse" and tell him to leave with "the rest of [his] New Era buddies." D-Von says he and Bubba Ray have ruined every era they've been a part of. Bubba Ray tells Neville to get himself a tag team partner, and say that when they shatter his ankle again, he'll never be able to fly again.

Enzo Amore and Big Cass show up to start tonight's show. Enzo talks about the opening of last week's Raw, and tells Chris "Bon Jon" Jericho that he not only broke the Man Code for showing up with a scarf and no shirt, but that he's on a highway to hell. Jericho shows up, and tells Enzo the only reason he's still here is because Big Cass is there to get him out of trouble. Kevin Owens shows up, and Jericho says that Owens his back through hell and high water. Big Cass turns that statement into a Burt and Ernie reference, and Jericho gets upset. Cass tells him to do something about it if he doesn't like it. Owens says he used to like Big Cass, but he brought Enzo to the main roster with him, and that if it's not him who hurts Cass, it'll be Jericho, who echoes the sentiment. Big Cass then challenges the two of them to a tag match, but Jericho then challenges Enzo Amore to a match and tells him he's going to get "it."

Chris Jericho beats Enzo Amore by disqualification after Big Cass hits Jericho with a big boot in response to Kevin Owens grabbing Enzo Amore's foot from outside of the ring. After the match, Big Cass challenges Owens and Jericho to a tag match against him and Enzo at SummerSlam. Owens and Jericho accept the challenge mockingly.

Raw General Manager Mick Foley is on the phone backstage when Sasha Banks shows up. She wants her match against Charlotte at SummerSlam to be a handicap match so she can keep her eye on Dana Brooke.

Seth says that "Finn Balor" is a made-up name meaning "Demon King," and calls it akin to calling himself "Rambo Apocalypse," then says he wants to know who Finn Balor really is. He calls Finn one of the most disrespectful, arrogant people he's ever encountered, especially for saying that he had everything handed to him.

Lana says Rusev gave her a fairy tale wedding, but none of us could see it because it was VIP only, and now they will relive the wedding day live on Raw. Lana then shows us a video package of her and Rusev's wedding photos before saying that Rusev is the greatest man of all time. Lana and Rusev then talk about Lana's custom-made wedding dress and the cakes in the ring, then renew about their wedding vows. Before they can renew them, though, Roman Reigns shows up, and says he noticed that Rusev didn't even have a best man, and proposes a toast. Rusev refuses, and Roman tells him to accept his challenge at SummerSlam. Roman then decides to do the toast anyway, and toasts Lana and Rusev for providing a marriage between "a Bulgarian Sasquatch and a mail-order bride" before making fun of Rusev's love life. This starts a brawl between the two men, which ends after Roman sends Rusev into Lana, knocking Lana into one of the cakes. Lana and Rusev lose it and start destroying everything in the ring.
