Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 5, 2016

During the pre-show, Charlotte chastises Dana Brooke for not being able to beat Bayley, and makes her take notes on a clipboard when she takes on Bayley tonight.

Earlier today, as Stephanie McMahon prepared Kevin Owens' title coronation, Mick Foley asked for answers as to what happened last night, as he saidthat Triple H made him look like a fool. Stephanie insisted that she knew nothing about this, and said that Triple H embarassed her as a leader, commissioner and wife, and that she now has trouble trying to figure out how to represent herself in the company because of that. Mick Foley believed her, saying he had to, otherwise she would be a really good liar and a really bad person.



The show starts with balloons dropping into the arena as Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon introduce Kevin Owens, who says that the coronation is exactly what he wanted, and says that he deserves the WWE Universal Championship. He talks about how the crowd erupted last week, and says he doesn't deserve a crowd full of idiots trying to hijack his moment by chanting "You deserve it." Owens says that he did 90% of the work, and Triple H made things right and put him where he belongs: the top of the company. He now declares Raw "The Kevin Owens Show." Seth Rollins shows up, tells Kevin Owens to shut up, and confronts Stephanie McMahon, feeling that Stephanie betrayed him. He tells Owens is just a puppet, and he doesn't shut up, even Triple H won't be able to save him. Stephanie says she knows nothing about last week, and Foley defends her. Seth says that Owens has been Triple H's chosen one since day one, and he plans to burn that to the ground. Owens responds by saying "The Architect" has been designing blueprints for failure. Rollins attacks Owens, and Stephanie McMahon indefinitely suspends Rollins. Foley then unsuspends him, saying that on Raw, they don't hand out suspensions, they hand out rematches. He asks Stephanie to respect his authority to make the matches, and makes a WWE Universal Championship rematch between Rollins and Owens for Clash of Champions.



Stephanie McMahon threatens to fire Mick Foley if he usurps her power again, and Foley tell Stephanie that nothing good would have come out of suspending Seth Rollins. Kevin Owens shows up, unhappy with the turn of events, and Foley puts him in a match against Sami Zayn for his behavior earlier tonight. Chris Jericho, shows up, saying that Owens has been disrespected. Foley then puts Jericho in a match against Seth Rollins for calling him a stupid idiot.

Tom Phillips interviews Sami Zayn, who feels directionless after supposedly ending his feud with Kevin Owens. Owens shows up and says he has won the race after trying to catch up to him, and that he is better than Sami. Sami says that the race is never over, and that he will win the WWE Universal Championship too, and when he does, it will be all on his own and won't involve Triple H handing it to him on a silver platter.

Nia Jax beats Ann Esposito (who is revealed to be a friend of Alicia Fox).



Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) are in the ring, wanting to retire The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) as tag team champions. They then introduce "The Old Day," who are basically a parody of The New Day that Gallows and Anderson make fun of. The real New Day show up and explain the danger of time travel and interacting with their future selves. They chase Gallows and Anderson out of the ring, then let The Old Day do their thing before doing their own and then beating them up.

Dana Brooke shows up, states that Charlotte is the only champion that the WWE Universe deserves and says she will use Sasha and her broken body to step her game up and finish what Charlotte started. When she tries, however, Sasha Banks reverses and hits her with the Backstabber and the Banks Statement before telling Dana to tell Charlotte that the Women's title is coming back to her.
