Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 27, 2017

Roman Reigns shows up to start tonight's show. Roman says last week was a big week for him, as The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) reunited, they beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) at Survivor Series, and he beat The Miz for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Roman thanks the crowd for their support, and announces he is the new Intercontinental Champion. We then see exclusive footage from last Monday where Miz runs into The Shield and gets powerbombed through the announce table after the show goes off the air. He then tells us we will not see The Miz for a while, but we will see a lot of the WWE Intercontinental Championship. He says Miz was right when he says the title is prestigious, and in his possession, it will stay that way. Roman proclaims this is his yard and the Intercontinental title is the title, and if anyone wants it, all they have to do is come on up and take it. Suddenly, The Miz's entrance music hits, but Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel show up instead. Bo Dallas verbally confronts Roman for disrespecting The Miz. Curtis Axel says the pain in his neck is nothing compared to the pain in heart from him holding the title. They are in no shape to fight him, but they know someone who can. That someone is Elias. Elias shows up singing and playing guitar. He asks the crowd to hold their applause as he will be performing later tonight. He says The Miz is a good guy, and when he saw Bo and Axel lost and abandoned, he knew he could show them the way and re-ignite their fire. He then proclaims that he will take the Intercontinental Championship away from Roman Reigns tonight. Roman says Elias wants to walk with "The Big Dog," then tells him he has his title match. He then tells Elias to look at Curtis Axel and hopes he can sing with a neck brace on, because he will need a neck brace after tonight.

Seth Rollins beats Cesaro. Charly Caruso interviews Rollins after the match, Rollins says that The Shield are not going in different directions, and he is riding solo tonight due to Ambrose being on his honeymoon. He says The Shield is only coming closer together. Roman's Intercontinental title victory has only inspired him, and next week, he and Ambrose will hopefully invoke their rematch for the Raw tag titles and take the tag titles back so that they can all be champions.

Backstage, Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann, Akira Tozawa and Mustafa Ali are talking with General Manager Kurt Angle, wanting an opportunity against Enzo Amore. Angle says it is time to determine a new challenge for the Cruiserweight title. In three weeks' time, there will be a challenger. There will be two Fatal Four-Way matches this week and the next, and the winners of those will face each other two weeks from now to determine a new #1 contender.

Samoa Joe beats Titus O'Neil with the Coaquina Clutch. Apollo Crews confronts Joe after the match, but he also falls victim to a Coaquina Clutch that the referee has to break.

Alexa Bliss guests on commentary for the next match.

Mickie James and Bayley fail to show up for the next match. Paige shows up with Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, and wants to know where Mickie and Bayley are. We then learn that Mickie and Bayley have been attacked backstage. Paige considers making this a 3-on-1 handicap match, then talks about how he has been hounded in public for her actions. She then explains how she was the woman to stick a flag in the ground a year ago and remove "Diva" from the WWE dictionary. She calls herself the matriarch of the WWE evolution, and last week, she made a statement to prove to everyone who she is. Now, she is back. Paige, Mandy and Sonya then approach the ring, and Paige then calls her group "Absolution." Mandy says people may have forgotten that before all of the new additions to the WWE main roster, there was Paige. Mandy says they did not forget. Sonya says every woman has pushed the competition, pushed the envelope and raised the game. She says nothing would have been raised if it was not for Paige, and that is why she and Mandy have pledge allegiance to her. She then says Absolution will be a whole different type of evolution. Paige then asks Sasha if she is either with them or against them. Sasha hits Paige with a forearm, but Mandy and Sonya easily overpower her. Sasha fights back, but this does not last for long and Absolution gangs up on her.

Bray Wyatt announces that he is here.

Bray Wyatt shows up. Before the next match, Bray says he never had a childhood or celebrated holidays. He never carved a turkey, or even cared. He then says the crowd celebrates like "they" want them to as "they" tell them what to do, what to buy, who to love and who to be. He says this is pathetic, but when he tries to show them the way, they never listen, and now their ignorance fuels him and their suffering brings him joy, as now his eyes are wide open, and he can see the people for who they are. He says nobody in the crowd is alive and that they are all dead as he laughs, and asks if they can feel it.

Bray Wyatt beats Matt Hardy. After the match, Matt Hardy starts screaming and then yells "Delete!" multiple times.

Jason Jordan is talking to General Manager Kurt Angle, saying he looked forward to his rematch with Braun Strowman tonight. He also says that he is being roasted on social media by people thinking he faked an injury to get out of a match. His answer to silence the doubters is to face Kane later tonight. When Angle asks if he is 100% percent, he says yes. Angle then makes the match official.

Rich Swann beats Ariya Daivari, Noam Dar and Akira Tozawa in a Fatal 4-Way match to continue to the WWE Cruiserweight Championship #1 contender's match in two weeks' time. During the match, Enzo Amore is seen watching this match from backstage.

Before the next match, Elias sings and plays guitar for the crowd. Before he does, however, he says The Miz is not here tonight, and decides to dedicate his song tonight to him as he sits at home with his wife Maryse. It is not long before Elias has to start over due to the crowd trying to drown him out. He manages to finish "The Miztourage Blues," then says he will do something special tonight, and introduces everyone to Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. Elias then starts another song that he dedicates to The Miz, and Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel play harmonica which, while out of key with Elias' guitar, sounds good. This song is also completed. Bo and Axel then take a bow, then Elias says this is the time for applause. Elias plays guitar again, then the crowd chants "We want Roman!" Elias says "Well, right now, nobody wants Roman more than me!" He asks Bo, Axel and the crowd to all take a seat so they tune in to his next performance, when Roman walks with Elias.

Roman Reigns retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Elias. After the match, Roman Reigns is suddenly attacked by Samoa Joe on the stage and put in a Coaquina Clutch that referees and officials have to break. Samoa Joe tells Roman Reigns he is coming for him, then goes after him again. The second time around, however, is far more brief.

Asuka beats Dana Brooke in mere seconds with the Asuka Lock. After the match, Absolution (Paige, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville) shows up. Absolution surround the ring, and Asuka stands her ground in the middle of the ring. Suddenly, Absolution backs off, and Asuka slowly leaves the ring without turning her back on them.

Next week: The Shield (Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins) vs. Sheamus and Cesaro for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships!

Before the next match, Jason Jordan mentions people speculating about his injured knee and how injured it is, and says doubters are using it as an excuse to get out of his match with Braun Strowman. He says this is not any further from the truth, and that he knows his body best. When he got out of Braun's powerslam, he felt a pop in his knee and knew he could not continue. Thanks to WWE's medical staff and a week of rehab, he feels he is back at 100%. He then announces he is about to silence the doubters and do what Braun could not do: shut down The Big Red Machine, Kane.

Kane beats Jason Jordan by count-out when Jason Jordan hurts his knee again getting tossed out of the ring and cannot get back in the ring in time. After the match, Kane and Jordan continue to fight, but Jordan gets hit with a big boot before getting tossed out again. Kane continues to work on that injured left knee when all of a sudden, Finn Balor shows up.

Finn Balor beats Kane by disqualification after Kane hits Finn with a steel chair. After the match, Kane continues to hit Finn Balor with the steel chair in the back in the ring. Kane then wraps the steel chair around Finn Balor's head, and when he goes up to the middle rope, Braun Strowman shows up, holding his hand to his throat. Kane hits Strowman with the chair, and it has absolutely no effect. Kane is surprised, and he begs Strowman off. Strowman hits Kane with a big boot before going to town on him in the corner. Braun then brings some steel steps into the ring before grabbing Kane and slamming him into the other set. Braun then gets Kane back in the ring and hits him with the steel chair, then puts Kane in a running powerslam onto the steel steps. The crowd chants "One more time," then Strowman grabs the steel chair and injures Kane's windpipe just like Kane did to him last week. Kane has no choice but to retreat through the crowd, much to the shock and surprise of those seated in the front rows.

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