Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 18, 2018

General Manager Kurt Angle is in the ring with a table in the ring with the Raw Women's Championship and the women's Money In The Bank Contract on it. He introduces Alexa Bliss, who shows up. Alexa is handed the Raw Women's title, and she holds it up. Angle announces that although Nia Jax is doing physical therapy, she is exercising her rematch clause at Extreme Rules. Alexa, wanting to focus on last night, thanks the fans for the opportunity to rub it in all their faces, as she showed what it was like to beat up bullies in Nia Jax and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey and shocked the world when she cashed in and won. She says that from now on, there will be no talk about "The Irresistible Force;" instead, it is all about her. Suddenly, Ronda Rousey shows up. Angle stops her from getting close to Alexa as the crowd chants "Let them fight!" Alexa says she thought Ronda would also be doing physical therapy, then asks if she is here to learn a lesson after last night. Alexa admits that Ronda was seconds away from making Nia Jax to an arm bar, then gloats about the fact that she took that victory away from her and says Ronda is out here because she can't stand the fact that the headlines weren't about her. She then goes on to call Ronda "irrelevant" and tells her to go back to the line after calling her an "overhyped rookie." Ronda then sidesteps Angle and charges at Alexa, and goes for the ground and pound. Angle tries to stop her, but gets thrown to the mat before Ronda attacks Alexa and hits her with the briefcase on the table. Angle tries to stop her again, but also gets whacked with the briefcase. Referees have to run in and tell Ronda to stop, but she starts attacking them, too, and the referees run away as quickly as they show up. Ronda then slams Alexa through the table in the ring.

Backstage, General Manager Kurt Angle tells "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey she is suspended for 30 days and that she may have ruined her chances at a championship. He then tells her to pack up her things and go.

Backstage, "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey almost ignores Renee Young, but tells her to save her good luck wishes for Alexa Bliss, as she will be kicking her "pink-haired ass" when she comes back.

Seth Rollins shows up. Rollins says there is a nice energy in the ring and a buzz in the locker room, and says he should keep it going. He says Elias took him to his limit last night and he loved every minute, but he still stands as WWE Intercontinental Champion. He says that he is a fighting champion and he is here every Monday night, and he proceeds to throw out an open challenge to anybody in the back for the title. That challenge is answered by Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. Ziggler ends up being the one entering the ring.

Dolph Ziggler beats Seth Rollins to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship for the sixth time after a series of roll-up reversals and a grabbing of the tights following Rollins going after Drew McIntyre on the apron. After the match, Rollins confronts Ziggler only to be attacked from behind by McIntyre before he and Ziggler hit the Zig Zag-Claymore combination.

Backstage, Renee Young interviews Dolph Ziggler, who says that "Monday Night Rollins" is officially cancelled and there will be no reboot coming as this is his and Drew McIntyre's show now. Drew McIntyre says this is the first of many titles and just the beginning, and that they will refuse to become soft. Ziggler says there is a difference between them and everyone else, as when they say something, they mean it.

Bobby Roode quickly beats Curt Hawkins.

We see a video package of Braun Strowman's Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match win.

Braun Strowman shows up. Strowman says he has smashed tables and broken ladders, and he has flipped over an ambulance with his bare hands, won a giant trophy by tossing around grown like bean bags, and even played a cello. He then says that even after all that, winning the Money In The Bank contract is his greatest achievement, and now all Brock Lesnar has to do is show is face and he will cash in and become WWE Universal Champion, because Lesnar will get these hands. Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up. Strowman says he is surprised to see Owens after tossing him off a twenty-foot ladder. Owens, nursing a hurt elbow, says he probably should not be out here, but is here to be the first to congratulate him. He then says that Strowman deserves the Money In The Bank contract, and that he knew he would win, which is why he tried to get everyone else in the match to neutralize him to no success. Owens then tells Strowman to be smart about his cash-in, and he wants to supply him with strategy. He tells Strowman that neither of them have anyone to depend on, and that his life changed when he won the contract. Owens proposes that they help each other, and asks Strowman to give him a title shot if he wins the title. He even says that they can start their partnership tonight. He then says that he just want to shake Strowman's hand. Strowman shakes it, but refuses to let go. He then tosses the microphone away, drags Owens towards him, and nearly hits him with a running powerslam. Owens manages to escape.

Backstage, Bayley meets with Sasha Banks. She tells Sasha that it will do her no good to sulk after last night, and that she is ready to take the fight to The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan) with Sasha. She admits their friendship is not in a good place, but she promises to fight alongside her. Bayley says this can be a new start for both of them. Sasha and Bayley then shake hands.

Before the next match, The B Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) are seen making fun of Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy on the TitanTron. This does not last long, and Bo Dallas drops his Bray Wyatt act before telling Matt and Bray to run. They then leave in hilarious fashion.

Before the next match, Jinder Mahal says that as human beings, we should be open to change, and last night, he felt the winds of change. Even though Roman Reigns won last night, he won the battle of self-improvement. Jinder then says the fans are bitter like Roman Reigns, but he has found tranquility. He says that he is committed to change, unlike Chad Gable, who he says is living his former glory as an amateur wrestler. He tells Gable to stop looking to the past, and to open himself to change and tranquility.

Jinder Mahal beats Chad Gable.

General Manager Kurt Angle is in the ring. Before he can announce who Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE Universal Championship against next, Roman Reigns shows up. Roman tells Angle his answer is standing in front of him, as he had Lesnar beat at Greatest Royal Rumble and he is the uncrowned Universal Champion. He also says a full-time champion would help Angle run Raw better. Angle says he appreciates Roman's confidence. All of a sudden, Bobby Lashley shows up. Lashley tells Roman Reigns he has watched Roman beat his head against the wall for three years, and that he does not have what it takes to finish the job. He tells Roman to let someone who can beat Brock do it, and says he can beat both Lesnar and Roman. Angle says both men are deserving, and says that the next person to face Lesnar will be the winner of a multi-man match at a latter date. After he says that Lashley and Roman are in the match, The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) show up. The Revival ask whatever happened to earning things the old-fashioned way, as they have been working for opportunities on Raw only for guys like Roman and Lashley to get in the way. They say this ends tonight. They challenge Roman and Lashley, knowing full well they are about to tear each other apart, to a tag team match against them right now. They bank on the fact that they can't get along so they can get the win. Roman mocks The Revival, then says that he will take them school and that Lashley will learn something if they pay attention. Angle makes the match official.
