Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 9, 2017

It's time for Miz TV. It is part two of "The Mizzies" tonight. The Miz says he is the man who pays credit where credit is due and says The Miztourage (The Miz, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) is family, and if you attack one member, you attack them all. Therefore, the first Mizzie for Perseverance goes to Curtis Axel, who dedicates the trophy to Bo Dallas, whom he tells to get well soon. The Miz then says last week was the best night of his life, and calls it "The Destruction of Roman Reigns." The Mizzie for Best Supporting Actor ends in a tie between Sheamus and Cesaro. Sheamus and Cesaro show up, and celebrate their award-winning performance. Sheamus says he and Cesaro can go anywhere, then thanks Roman Reigns for making it all possible, then brags about what he and Cesaro did to him last week. Cesaro also thanks Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose for also making it possible, saying that if they didn't knock his teeth into his gums, they wouldn't have a reason to prove they are the bar. The Miz then tells the crowd they can fantasize about a reunion of The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns), but it won't happen. The Miz says they want none of them, and says that together, they have changed the landscape of WWE and put an end to Roman Reigns. The Miz says sometimes hard work pays off and that sometimes the good guys really do win. He then awards The Mizzie for Best Actor to "the real big dog of the WWE," himself. He then dedicates his Mizzie to his unborn child and every child who needs a new role model. Suddenly, Roman shows up. Roman tells Miz this is the part where he shuts up, as he is not here to play games and tells everyone to get out of his ring. The Miz says he thought Roman Reigns was all about action, and says that won't happen as there is four of them and one of him. Miz tells Roman to go back to the back and get Seth and Dean, as rumors of a Shield reunion are nothing but hype. Roman says "Rumors? Who said anything about rumors?" Dean Ambrose shows up, as does Seth Rollins. They all surround the ring, then get in and clean house. The Miz gets outside of the ring, but he is eventually surrounded and laid out before falling to The Shield reunion's first three-man powerbomb.



Jason Jordan beats Karl Anderson, even with Luke Gallows on the apron.



The Miz is in the trainer's room. The trainer and Curtis Axel place an ice pack on the back of Miz's neck. Suddenly, General Manager Kurt Angle is here. He tells Miz to be careful what he wishes for, as he has gotten it. The Miz, Sheamus and Cesaro will take on The Shield at Tables, Ladders and Chairs in a TLC Match.



Elias is in the wrong. He says Apollo Crews does not want to walk with him, as his career is going in circles and going nowhere. As he is about to play a song, Titus O'Neil shows up playing a banjo. Titus has one question for the fans: "Who wants to walk with Titus Worldwide?" Titus tells the fans to get their cellphones out, then starts strumming the banjo and sings that Elias will lose to Apollo Crews.
Elias beats Apollo Crews.




Enzo Amore shows up. He mentions that he and General Manager Kurt Angle did great business up until a few weeks ago. He mentions the clause that makes it so that anyone who lays a hand on him gets fired, then mentions Kalisto being "the anomaly." He says that Kalisto has been rewarded for breaking the clause with a title match against him at TLC, then calls Angle out to the ring. Angle shows up, and Enzo mentions the clause - with Angle's signature - and wants to know what the deal is with Kalisto getting a title match against him at Tables, Ladders and Chairs. Angle says the clause only applies to anyone signed to WWE before the clause, and that Kalisto was signed afterwards.Enzo says he has been bamboozled, and demands respect from Kurt Angle. Enzo says he is the biggest star Angle has, and tells Angle to do what makes him happy. Angle tells Enzo to forget about the match at TLC, then tells him he is defending against Kalisto tonight. Enzo says he will defend the title, under one condition: the match has to be the main event. Angle leaves, but then turns around and tells Enzo that if he tries to get himself counted-out, he is mistaken, as he announces that Kalisto vs. Enzo for the Cruiserweight title for tonight is a Lumberjack match and Enzo's clause is officially out the window for tonight.



Braun Strowman beats Matt Hardy. Braun Strowman almost hauls Matt Hardy to the back, but he is stopped by The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns). The Shield overpower Strowman, and Roman Reigns hits the Spear before the commentary table is broken down. Braun Strowman then becomes the victim of another three-man powerbomb.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns). Seth they are not only back, they are stronger than ever. Dean says they will do what they do best: destroy everyone in their path, even if that means destroying four or five men at once. Roman says they will destroy the whole world if they have to, and that they are the three greatest workhorses in the business. Seth says we can believe that.



Mickie James shows up. Ever since she returned to Raw, she felt she didn't quite belong. She has one person to think for feeling bad about her age: Alexa Bliss. Ever since Alexa realized she cannot manipulate her, she has spent every moment going for a cheap shot at her. However, it has always been behind her back, and calls Alexa a coward who hid behind her bodyguard. Alexa also attacked her from behind when she came close to beating Nia Jax. Mickie James tells Alexa to "jump out the booster seat and put on her big girl pants," as she plays no games and is all woman. Mickie says she has more energy than Alexa has cheap extensions and hair dye. In two weeks, she will become a seven-time WWE Women's champion. Suddenly, Alexa Bliss shows up. Alexa apologizes, saying Mickie has been treated unfairly for so long. Alexa says she has made it up to her by creating a career retrospective for Mickie James. True to Alexa Bliss form, it once again makes fun of Mickie's age and appearance as we see classic footage in black and white. Alexa then laughs, then asks "Isn't it past your bedtime, Grandma?" She then tells Mickie to do what old people do, because at TLC, she will run circles around her. Mickie James tells Alexa Bliss to get in the ring and tell her exactly what she has to say to her. Alexa asks for hearing aid batteries. The crowd chants "biscuit butt" after Mickie James says it. Alexa then gets ticked off and teases getting in the ring with her, then says that move is as old as Mickie. Mickie then runs out of the ring and grabs Alexa as soon as she turns around, and fights her for making that last comment.



We see another vignette for Asuka. We then find out General Manager Kurt Angle, Bayley and Sasha Banks saw this backstage. Bayley wants to be Asuka's debut main roster debut opponent, as does Sasha Banks. Alicia Fox then shows up. Alicia Fox says she has been here ten years, has had only one T-shirt and wants more opportunities. Dana Brooke shows up, and says she feels like she doesn't exist. Emma shows up and says she started the Women's Revolution. Angle tells all five women that things get settled in the ring. Tonight, they are all in a Fatal 5-Way Match. The winner faces Asuka at Tables, Ladders and Chairs.



The Brian Kendrick and "Gentleman" Jack Gallagher beat Mustafa Ali and Cedric Alexander.



WWE and NBC Universo honor Andres Castor as part of Hispanic Heritage Month.



General Manager Kurt Angle is on the phone when The Miz arrives. The Miz asks Angle to stand by their word. He says that Dean Ambrose has said The Shield will take on four or five guys at once. Because of that, he is finding another partner. Angle allows for his match at Tables, Ladders and Chairs to be a 4-on-3 handicap match, and Miz says he has already found a fourth man: Braun Strowman. Strowman breaks through the door, stares Angle dead in the eyes, then leaves.



Finn Balor shows up. Last week, Bray Wyatt introduced the world to Sister Abigail. Finn has no idea what to say, and says Wyatt is like a virus that keep mutating with more lies and mind games. He doesn't believe a word Wyatt is saying, as he wants attention and wants to instill more fear so the fans listen to him. Finn tells Wyatt once again that he and the fans are not afraid of him, and neither is the demon. He dares Wyatt to bring on not only Sister Abigail but the entire family. The rocking chair then shows up on the TitanTron. Bray Wyatt then sits down on it, and says Finn will be afraid of Sister Abigail. She was young, beautiful and knowing of the truth. She was feared...and they made her into a monster. He was there when she took her last breath. She chose him. He vowed that they would all burn. Bray then says the season of the witch is upon Finn, and that she is here. Wyatt then morphs into Sister Abigail. Sister Abigail says humans are all the same and want to control everything. Bray is special, but he still has much to learn. She taught him that the world is an evil place, and that the darkness is stronger than the light. She vowed to stay by Bray's side. Now she has risen from the ashes to fulfill her promise to Bray Wyatt. She says Bray has been lied to and hurt, and because of this, she must put Finn Balor - and the demon - down, saying she can turn a demon into a dandelion. She then gives Finn advice: Finn cannot beat Balor. She says she could have saved Finn, but her kiss will burn all to the ground. Sister Abigail morphs back into Wyatt as they both laugh.

Tomorrow night on 205 Live: Rich Swann vs. TJP!

Before the next match, Enzo says the lumberjacks couldn't chop him down if they were Paul Bunyan and Babe. He says that whoever said money doesn't grow on trees was lying, because he is money and Kalisto is a plastic houseplant.

Kalisto beats Enzo Amore in a Lumberjack Match to win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship! During the match, Mustafa Ali pulls Enzo out of the ring during a pinfall attempt, starting an argument between Enzo and Ali. Enzo clotheslines Ali, then fights Kalisto on the top turnbuckle only for Kalisto to fight back with a Salida Del Sol from the top turnbuckle. After the match, Kalisto celebrates with Mustafa Ali, Akira Tozawa and Cedric Alexander.
