Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 10, 2017

Big Cass shows up to start tonight's show. Big Cass says he couldn't feel any better than after he took out five years of frustration on Enzo Amore last night, and brags about finishing him off with the big boot to the face. We then see footage of Enzo Amore being helped to the trainer's room after last night, and Cass says that everyone is on notice and that this is what happens when you mess with him. He tells everyone not to jump on the bandwagon if they have not already, because he is the future of WWE. As for all the doubters, he will one day win the WWE Universal Championship, shove it down everyone's throats, and make multiple media appearances and be on posters and banners while still champion as he continues to represent WWE to the fullest every day of his life because nobody can touch him and nobody is better than he is. Suddenly, Big Show appears as Big Cass says he is seven feet tall and on top of the mountain, and after Big Cass mouths off at him, he hits Cass with a headbutt before both men brawl, and Big Show continues to pound on Big Cass until the latter gets out of the ring.



Elias Samson is seen performing for the crowd, and sings about how he will knock Finn Balor down a peg or two tonight. Not surprisingly, Finn Balor interrupts.

Finn Balor beats Elias Samson. The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) meet up with Finn and congratulate him after the match before heading to the ring.



Before the next match, The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) talk about their 30-minute Iron Man Match with Sheamus and Cesaro last night, but they refuse to fade away and classify themselves as obsolete. Matt makes a proclamation: they are nowhere near done bringing magic to the WWE Universe. Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) show up and tell them they are the old Hardy Boyz, not the Hardy Boyz of old, and to get out of the ring for the ring belongs to them. Matt Hardy then challenges them to a match right now. They accept.



Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) beat The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). After the match, The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) head to the ring and attack The Hardys.



It's time for Miz TV. The Miz, Maryse and The Miztourage (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) are in the ring to present "The Mizzies." Bo and Axel are co-winners of Best Supporting Actor for their role in last night's match. Bo thanks the crowd, then says this would never haveen possible without The Miz changing his life and his career. Axel says that thanks to The Miz, he will make a million dollars. Maryse wins a Mizzie for being the "Most Beautiful, Gorgeous, Sexy Leading Lady in the WWE." Maryse says she would not have accomplished everything without The Miz, and The Miz says the same of her before they make up. The Mizzie for "Greatest Man In WWE" goes not to Dean Ambrose, but to The Miz. The Miz says he would make the WWE Intercontinental Championship the most prestigious title in the company, and now he has after beating Dean Ambrose last night. He says that everyone gunning for other titles in the WWE last night, such as The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy), Akira Tozawa and Seth Rollins, were jokes and were just making noise. He then says that Ambrose was the toughest man he has ever been in the ring with, and quite possibly the toughest in WWE. Ambrose shows up and goes after The Miz, but The Miztourage catches up with him and Ambrose is the victim of a 3-on-1 beatdown until Seth Rollins rushes into the ring and fights them all off, making the save for Ambrose.



Backstage, Dean Ambrose catches up with Seth Rollins, who tells him that he was not going to sit there and let The Miz badmouth him. Dean tells Seth there will be no Shield (Dean, Seth, Roman Reigns) reunion, and to stay out of his battles.

Bayley and Sasha Banks beat Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss with a schoolgirl pin from Bayley to Alexa.



Goldust tells R-Truth he was not made for the spotlight, and even though he tried to ruin his premiere last week, Shattered Truth is a box office smash. Now he has to give the people want they want: an encore performance. While the sequel is never as good as the original, he plans to unleash The Shattered Truth, Part 2 soon.

After a brief recap of Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman in an Ambulance Match from last night, it is reported that Kurt Angle will have an update on Braun Strowman later tonight.

Goldust beats R-Truth.



General Manager Kurt Angle shows up. He says that last night's event was a success, then talks about last night's Ambulance Match. He then brings out Brock Lesnar, who arrives with Paul Heyman. After mentioning how Lesnar beat him for the WWE Championship and how Lesnar gets better every year, Angle admits he thought Samoa Joe would win and is glad to be proven wrong. He congratulates Lesnar, then mentions that he has an announcement for whom Lesnar will defend the title against next. Heyman wants nothing to do with it, and is about to leave with Lesnar when Roman Reigns shows up. Angle tells Heyman they are not done yet, and that Roman has a lot of nerve after he went too far last night. Roman says he destroyed everything and blew everything up in the Attitude Era, but Angle says that was then and this is now. Roman tells him he didn't know how to handle Braun Strowman and was never around to, then makes it clear he wants a shot at the Universal title. Lesnar tells Roman he "doesn't deserve shit," then Samoa Joe shows up, saying it's time to drag people back to reality. Lesnar says the reality is that he beat his ass, but Joe tells him he didn't beat him; he merely escaped him. Also, Roman Reigns has never even beaten him. Heyman tells Joe that he is never getting another shot at the Universal title, and Joe tells Lesnar that Heyman is protecting Lesnar from him, as Heyman knows he has Lesnar's number. Roman jumps in on the insults as well, telling Joe to look at him and then to look at Braun Strowman if he can find him. Angle makes a match between them for next week where the winner faces Lesnar for the Universal title at SummerSlam, and to save it until then or else they will lose their title contendership match.



Corey Graves leaves the commentary table due to a text.

Corey Graves and General Manager Kurt Angle talk about the text that they have gotten, and Angle says he may have to go public with whatever is on the text next week...and possibly say goodbye at the same time. Graves tells Angle that this may not necessarily be so, and that he has all the confidence in the world that everything will be just fine.

Akira Tozawa and Cedric Alexander beat Neville and Noam Dar after Neville is crotched on the top rope and Tozawa kicks the top rope in an act of revenge. During the match, Graves returns to commentary, and refuses to comment on what is happening concerning General Manager Kurt Angle and the texts.



Charly Caruso interviews Seth Rollins, who says that he did not come out during The Mizzies to save Dean Ambrose and that it was only to shut The Miz up. As for Bray Wyatt, he is a fraud and a coward, and another man who cannot hang with him.

Bray Wyatt tells Seth Rollins that he is everywhere, and that he promises he will never deny him again as he will not be forgiven for his sins.

Bray Wyatt beats Seth Rollins after Rollins is blinded in one eye. After the match, Bray Wyatt disappears and The Miztourage (The Miz, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) surround Rollins. Dean Ambrose rushes in with a steel chair and repeatedly smashes it into the back of The Miz. The Miztourage is forced to retreat.

General Manager Kurt Angle is seen on the phone with somebody backstage. He tells the person on the other end to come with him to the ring next week to reveal their secret, and that whatever happens, will happen.

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