Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 29, 2017

WWE celebrates Memorial Day.



The show starts with Miz TV. Miz says he and Maryse are feeling good, then goes on to call Dean Ambrose a lying, cheating thief who stole the Intercontinental Championship from him and got himself intentionally disqualified in their match two weeks ago, hence why he asked for a match at Extreme Rules where the title changes hands on a disqualification and got it. If Miz wins this match, he will win the Intercontinental title for a seventh time. He then introduces tonight's guest: Sheamus and Cesaro. Miz says no two Superstars have worked harder and deserved to be Raw tag champs more than them. Cesaro says it is a shameful thing, but Sheamus says the most shameful thing is the fans turning on them when The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) showed up. They plan to get the fans back when they beat The Hardys and take back the Raw Tag Team Championships. Miz agrees with Sheamus and Cesaro, saying the fans do not understand the greatness that is in the ring, and sympathizes with them, saying that he went through the same thing when he elevated the Intercontinental title only for Ambrose to drag it into the mud. Suddenly, Ambrose shows up, and says that while he doesn't always make the best decisions, he just cannot help but think that somebody needs to shut "the three buttheads in the ring" up. Miz dismisses Ambrose as stupid, but Ambrose says he is far from stupid and brings out The Hardys. Ambrose and The Hardy rush into the ring and clear it out. This starts an impromptu six-man tag match.



Dean Ambrose and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat The Miz, Sheamus and Cesaro. After the match, Corey Graves gets a text, and heads to the back.



General Manager Kurt Angle is reading an insulting and revealing text when Corey Graves meets up with him, having somehow gotten the text as well. Angle says if the text and the information within comes to light, it will ruin him.



"The Drifter" Elias Samson plays guitar and sings before the next match.

"The Drifter" Elias Samson beats Zac Evans. After the match, Corey Graves returns to the commentary table, and does not explain his discussion backstage between himself and General Manager Kurt Angle, saying that the matter was private.



Samoa Joe is watching footage of Finn Balor on WWE 24 when he is interviewed by Charly Caruso. He is analyzing Finn Balor to see how best to hurt him, and he knows Finn Balor very well. As he talks about Bray Wyatt, Bray Wyatt interrupts the interview with footage of himself on the nearby television. He tells Samoa Joe he is the devil he doesn't know, but he knows Joe. He can see the future, and it is him making "the beast" Brock Lesnar scram. He says only one can defeat the beast, and it is him. He tells Finn Balor and Samoa Joe to give in to their fear and run, as he is the one who will stand up and fight.

Samoa Joe beats Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt in a Triple Threat Match after Finn Balor hits Bray Wyatt with the Coup De Grace before Joe tosses Finn out of the ring and pins Bray off of Finn's handiwork.



Mike Rome interviews Seth Rollins, who faces Roman Reigns tonight. He has known Samoa Joe quite well for the past few months, but if there is anyone on Raw he is more familiar with than Joe, it's Roman. He says they've had both good and bad times, but when they are both in the ring, it is a war. He also says that he owns Roman Reigns, and tonight will be no different when he hits him with the knee. He then promises to win this Sunday at Extreme Rules.

Before the next match, Rich Swann brings out Sasha Banks. It is announced that Rich Swann and Sasha Banks will take on Noam Dar and Alicia Fox this Sunday at Extreme Rules.

Rich Swann beats Noam Dar when Sasha Banks stops Alicia Fox from interfering. After the match, Rich Swann wants Sasha Banks to dance in the middle of the ring, which she does.



Charly Caruso interviews The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder). We see the jaws on Dash Wilder's teeth, and Scott Dawson says they'll be back soon, as they haven't been on Raw since Dash got injured. They are then asked about the attack on Enzo Amore, which Dawson says he and Dash know nothing about, and we then see a video where The Revival are in the background during an interview with Sasha Banks, revealing that they were here last week, which implies that they may have been the ones to attack Enzo Amore. Scott Dawson admits that they were there that week, as well as nearly every week, but says that they were just doing "Top Guy things" before calling Enzo "a bottom feeder" that The Revival refuse to waste their time on. After this, Corey Graves says that he has seen footage of Enzo Amore's attack, then the show focuses on Akira Tozawa vs. The Brian Kendrick on last week's 205 Live. All of a sudden, Big Cass shows up and confronts Corey Graves over what he has just said, but Graves is able to talk his way out of it. He then shakes Big Cass' hand.



Titus O'Neil gets a quick win on Kalisto by grabbing the tights after a reversal of one of Kalisto's moves.



Alexa Bliss shows up to host a "This Is Your Life" segement involving Bayley. After talking about this Sunday's Kendo Stick On A Pole Match, the segment begins. We see Bayley's favorite doll from when she was two, a trophy for "Best In Sporstmanship," Slinkys, yo-yo's, Bayley in her high school yearbook as "Most Likely To Apologize," and three people from Bayley's past. One of them is Bayley's 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Flapper, who says that Bayley was a really nice girl with perfect attendance who always sat in the front row with her father, as she could not stand being away from him for long. The second guest is one of Bayley's old friends, Tracy Havelina, who says that other people would take advantage of her generosity, and that they were friends until she became a wrestling fan and never wanted to hang out with her after that. The third guest is Bayley's ex-boyfriend, Phil Johnson, who says that Bayley was a very nice girl and that the first date was okay, except for the fact that her dad was involved in everything they did, including an attempt at the first kiss. He admits that he dated Bayley just to get closer to Tracey, which is a surprise to Tracey, who always thought Phil was out of her league. Phil and Tracey then make out. Alexa Bliss then announces this is Bayley's life, then Bayley shows up. Bayley and Alexa brawl, but Bayley takes Alexa down and is about to go for the kendo stick on the nearby pole when Alexa takes her down, pulls one out from underneath a table and smacks it into Bayley's back.



Backstage, Enzo Amore has been attacked again. General Manager Kurt Angle says that The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) are not responsible as he saw them leave the building, but Big Cass is not convinced.



Austin Aries and "Gentleman" Jack Gallagher beat TJP and Neville after Aries makes Neville submit to the Last Chancery following a missed Phoenix Splash from Neville.



Mike Rome interviews Roman Reigns, who says there is not a man on this earth who owns him, and that the only thing he cares about tonight is showing why he is "The Big Dog" and why this is his yard.

Charly Caruso interviews Neville, who has lost for the first time via submission since joining the Cruiserweight Division. Neville just angrily walks away.

We see a video from Goldust, who says that he is back in the director's chair. He says R-Truth knew he was too big for just a supporting role, and refused to let him shine like gold and held him back so he could hog the spotlight. He says he will soon put an end to that, and it will not be a happy ending. R-Truth has an answer video, where he says that where he comes from, movies were an escape, and that he has taken some inspiration from them. He tells Goldust he will strike down upon him with great vengeance and furious anger, and that he is gonna get got.



Sasha Banks will be on 205 Live tomorrow night.

Roman Reigns beats Seth Rollins.



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