Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 30, 2017

The Raw roster stands on the stage as General Manager Kurt Angle welcomes everyone to the show. Angle gets the fans up to speed on what happened last week, and apologizes for letting his friendship with SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon blind him. Because of that, that put the roster in harm's way, and promises he will never do it again. Before Angle can say anything else, Commissioner Stephanie McMahon shows up for the first time in month. She announces that on January 22nd, 2018, Raw will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Stephanie then tells Angle he has done a great job, despite everything that has happened as of late, and she also tells Angle that he has led by example and has earned her respect...until now. She says it takes 20 years to build a reputation and 20 seconds to destroy it, and that he did the latter by allowing Shane on Raw. She says Shane is shallow, conniving and manipulative, and whenever he loses, he picks on her and her show to feel like a winner. She also says Shane exploited his friendship with him, and took his kindness for weakness. Stephanie tells Angle he has made a mockery out of Raw and gives him a chance to make it up to her. If he wants to prove he has still got it, he will do just that as Raw's team captain at Survivor Series. She expects results, domination and total annihilation that night...or else he will be fired as General Manager.

Backstage, Commissioner Stephanie McMahon wants no excuses or apologies from General Manager Kurt Angle. She says she will back up her words if he fails, and if he doesn't think she will, he can ask Mick Foley. Suddenly, The Miztourage (The Miz, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) shows up in their limo as Stephanie leaves in her own, and Angle tells The Miz what happened. He wants to know why Miz was not around last week, as he was not there when the Raw roster was attacked. Angle then calls him a coward and says he wants nobody like that on his Survivor Series team, and makes him defend the Intercontinental title. He refuses to mention who he will be defending against, and tells him to get ready right now.

Before the next match, Alicia Fox - in a captain's hat - says she does not have a match with Bayley, but she has found a suitable replacement. That replacement is none other than Nia Jax, who has not been seen in the last few weeks.

Nia Jax beats Bayley. After the match, Alicia Fox - who has been watching from the stage - says Nia Jax is her first pick for Team Raw. Afterwards, Samoa Joe returns for the first time in months.

Samoa Joe is in the ring. He notices that some people have missed him from the response he got on his return. He finds this amusing, as he has not missed any of the fans, who immediately boo him. Joe asks how many of the fans actually cared during his downtime, and says nobody did, hence why he does not care about the fans. He then says he will use the disrespect as fuel against anyone in the ring with him, as he will pretend that opponent is the fans. Apollo Crews then shows up for the next match.

Samoa Joe beats Apollo Crews with the Coaquina Clutch. After the match, Titus O'Neil takes off his coat jacket and confronts Samoa Joe. O'Neil turns his back and checks on Crews, but Joe is right behind him, and he puts him in the Coaquina Clutch.

The 25th anniversary show will be in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York as well as the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Legends such as The Undertaker, Kevin Nash, and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels will also be appearing at the event.

The Miz finds out he is defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Matt Hardy.

Backstage, General Manager Kurt Angle meets Alexa Bliss, who says she can help Angle keep her job. Alexa Bliss tells Angle to get read of the dead weight in the Women's Division, and get rid of Mickie James and replace her with someone from the Mae Young Classic...or better yet, just dig up Mae. Angle says that Mickie James fought back last week, and that Alexa is done running. She tells Alexa that she will be defending the Raw Women's Championship against Mickie James tonight.

Asuka beats Stacie Cullen with the Asuka Lock.

General Manager Kurt Angle calls for security when SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan shows up. Angle asks Daniel Bryan "What the hell are you doing here?"

Daniel Bryan tells Kurt Angle he has nothing to do with last week's attack, and that he is here alone. Daniel Bryan says he had no knowledge of Shane's attack. Angle tells Daniel Bryan he is going to keep him here in the office so that the Raw Superstars do not tear him apart before he brings him back to SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon, and that he is going to fight back against Shane.

We see a video package chronicling the war of words between Jinder Mahal and Brock Lesnar.

Daniel Bryan is on the phone when the lights go out.
SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan tells the person on the other end of the phone that he thought he could reason with Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, but that Angle cares more for his safety. He says that the whole situation so far has been frustrating. All of a sudden, Daniel notices something is wrong. Suddenly, Daniel Bryan is choke slammed by Kane.

Finn Balor beats Cesaro with a double foot stomp to the back of Cesaro's neck. After the match, Kane appears and Finn Balor fights him on the stage. Kane hits Balor with a big boot before hitting the Tombstone Piledriver on the stage. Referees check on Finn Balor as Kane heads to the ring.

Kane beats Seth Rollins after Seth Rollins takes out Sheamus and Cesaro as they attack Dean Ambrose only to run into a choke slam on the way back into the ring. Dean Ambrose gets in the ring after the match and hits Kane with Dirty Deeds to stop a Tombstone Piledriver to Seth. Kane gets back up, and Sheamus and Cesaro jump Dean, who then falls victim to the Tombstone Piledriver. Seth gets on top of Dean to protect him, but gets Tombstoned as well.

SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan is placed on a stretcher backstage.

Backstage, The Miztourage (The Miz, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) head to their dressing room for a post-match celebration when The Miz smells something. Suddenly, a trash bag full of garbage is found in the room. The Miz then believes that Braun Strowman is here. Curtis Axel says this is a prank, and Bo Dallas says they have his back. The Miz is concerned.

The ring and ringside areas are set up for a Trick-or-Street Fight, which is coming up next.

The Miz meets Kane backstage, and tells him about the garbage bag incident. He asks if Braun Strowman is back. Kane says he does not know, but if he is, he knows where to find him. Miz says he is glad he and Kane are on the same team, but Kane laughs and tells him "You're on your own."

Heath Slater and Rhyno beat Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) in a Trick Or Street Fight. Slater and Rhyno are dressed Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and Gallows and Anderson as Tex Ferguson and Chad 2 Badd from Southpaw Regional Wrestling.

The Miz tells Sheamus and Cesaro about the garbage can incident and his meeting with Kane. Sheamus says there is no way Braun Strowman could recover in one week, and Cesaro says it is just a prank. The Miz says it is good to be part of a great team. Sheamus and Cesaro laugh and tell Miz he is on his own. The Miz then calls Curtis Axel, and tells him to get Bo Dallas and get ready to leave right now.

Elias plays guitar and sings for the crowd. Elias says that Jason Jordan won't interrupt this performance after what he did to him, and says he is at home nursing his wounds, and also says that the only person in worse shape than him is Joe Flacco. He then plays "The Ballad of Jason Jordan." As he sings and plays guitar, we see replays of the guitar shot on Jason Jordan from TLC. Suddenly, Jason Jordan shows up and runs to the ring. Jason Jordan ducks a guitar shot, and hits Elias with a belly-to-belly suplex before he can try it again. Elias then retreats. This gives Jason Jordan the idea to break Elias' guitar, and he places it in the corner and stomps on it before tossing it out of the ring.

The Miztourage (The Miz, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) is leaving when General Manager Kurt Angle stops them, saying they will stay until the end of the show...or else.

Before the next match, Drew Gulak puts Enzo Amore on a pedestal before mocking General Manager Kurt Angle. Enzo Amore says that Angle is giving out title shots like candy, and that Kalisto will never get the Cruiserweight title back. Gulak then spells "soft" correctly, and Enzo tells him to never do "S-A-W-F-T" again.

Kalisto quickly beats Drew Gulak, then is attacked by Enzo Amore after the match.

Next week: a Fright Night Fatal 4-Way between Mustafa Ali, Gran Metalik, "The Premiere Athlete" Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari!

The truck dumps garbage on the limousine, then Braun Strowman is seen through the front windshield. The Miztourage run out of the limousine to the ring, and Braun Strowman chases after them. They make it to the stage, but Braun Strowman decimates all of them and throws them all down the ramp before breaking the commentary table apart. The Miztourage fights back, but Strowman quickly overpowers them and throws The Miz into the ring. He is about to hit The Miz with a running powerslam when Curtis Axel makes the save. The Miz manages to roll out of the ring, but Curtis Axel isn't so lucky. He falls victim to multiple running powerslams before taking one more into the commentary table to end the show.
