Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 1, 2018

Dean Ambrose shows up to start tonight's show. Charly Caruso interviews Ambrose in the ring, and Ambrose says there is a lot of truth in what Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre said last week, and also brings up Seth Rollins replacing him with Jason Jordan. He admits he has thought about leaving The Shield (Ambrose, Rollins, Roman Reigns), but he has thought about a lot of things, and says there are a lot of possibilities. As for why he has been in The Shield for so long and why he hasn't finally snapped yet, it's because he is waiting for the perfect time to slip the knife right in their back. As far as sticking with Rollins and Roman Reigns at the end of last week's show goes, he says he has done nothing but clean up his brothers' messes. Nevertheless, he still stands by them. He says The Shield is a brotherhood, not a business or a brand, and that they will always ride in to battle together. As Ambrose leaves, however, Acting General Manager Baron Corbin shows up. Corbin pretends to be moved by Ambrose's words before saying it is all a bunch of whining. Ambrose asks if Corbin is a therapist on top of being the world's largest substitute teacher before asking if he is salty about last week. Corbin says his team fell short last week, but since the cops weren't hear to stop The Shield from tearing things up, he counts it as a win. He gives Dean three options: facing Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship, facing Reigns for the Universal Championship, or going one-on-one with Braun Strowman. Ambrose thinks about it for a moment, and Corbin asks if it will be his brothers or his career. Ambrose tells Corbin none of that is happening and demands a match against him. Corbin says this isn't happening, and he goes ahead and makes the choice for Ambrose: Ambrose vs. Strowman, right now.

Braun Strowman beats Dean Ambrose by disqualification. During the match, Roman Reigns shows up and brawls with Strowman, then Seth Rollins shows up and he and Roman sends Strowman out of the ring. Strowman makes his way to the ramp, but he is joined by Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre and Acting General Manager Baron Corbin. Corbin says this is his show, not The Shield's (Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns), and puts Rollins up against McIntyre for later and Roman up against Dolph Ziggler for the next match.

In the trainer's room, Dean Ambrose is met by Seth Rollins. Dean gets angry, and Rollins reminds him it's about the war, not the battle. Ambrose says it's funny as he could be Intercontinental Champion right now.

The next match is almost for the WWE Universal Championship, but Acting General Manager Baron Corbin shows up and announces that Rollins and Reigns' matches tonight are both non-title and that Roman will not be defending the Universal title again until Crown Jewel.

She talks about how how she first met Trish Stratus when she was seven years old and asked her for her autograph only for Trish to burp in her face and charge her $50. She then says Trish then tore up her autograph book and stepped on her foot. Alexa then says she cried the entire night, and that when it comes to heroes, Stratusfaction is not guaranteed.

The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) beat The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) after Bo Dallas gets the knees up to counter The Revival's rocket launcher double-team to get a surprise pin on Dash Wilder. After the match, AOP (Akam and Rezar) blindside The B-Team and hit the Super Collider in the ring.

Backstage, an aching Dean Ambrose is met by Roman Reigns, who wants to know if Dean is all right. Ambrose says he's fine, and says he had Braun Strowman beaten. Roman says he could have also gotten hurt. Ambrose says if he wasn't such a nice guy, he would be WWE Universal Champion right now.

Backstage, Acting General Manager Baron Corbin congratulate AOP (Akam and Rezar) on getting the job done tonight.

WWE takes time to announce that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and display a video package about WWE's partnership with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Charly Caruso then introduces WWE ambassador Dana Warrior, research Dr. Candice Grzelak, fundraiser Patty Bulger and ten-year breast cancer survivor Jennifer Teeler, who are all in the front row.

Backstage, Dolph Ziggler tells Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman that this is the last night The Shield will be together and that this is their moment. Braun says Dean is "a tough bastard" and that when Dean isn't up against him, he is a winner. He says that he needs winners tonight and tells Drew to win tonight before saying they do not need any weak links and starting at Dolph.

Drew McIntyre beats Seth Rollins after Dolph Ziggler runs into the ring, distracting Rollins and allowing McIntyre to hit the Claymore. After the match, McIntyre and Ziggler take the boots to Rollins. Roman Reigns runs in to even the odds, then Braun Strowman shows up. The distraction allows McIntyre and Ziggler to blindside Reigns, then Dean Ambrose runs in with an ax handle and goes to town. This lasts until Braun Strowman gets his hands on Dean Ambrose and gets him back in the ring. After this, Ziggler, McIntyre and Strowman make easy work of The Shield (Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns).

We see another commercial for WWE 2K19.

Elias and Kevin Owens are in the ring. Elias plays guitar, then Kevin Owens commends Elias on his guitar playing before Elias asks who wants to walk with him. He says there is only one man who is going to walk with him tonight, and that man is Kevin Owens. Owens talks about their match at Super Show-Down against Bobby Lashley and John Cena and says them teaming up makes sense. After saying they have so much in common, Owens says he and Elias are great guys. He then says John Cena teaming with Bobby Lashley doesn't make any sense, and Elias agrees with him, saying it's like having a basketball team in Seattle, Washington. The boos and jeers by the crowd becomes deafening. He says he can get Oklahoma City, Oklahoma having a basketball team, but Seattle makes no sense to him. Owens has to scream over the crowd, and even he has a tough time doing that. Owens says John Cena has been living up to his "you can't see me" catchphrase, and Elias says the last time he saw Cena was at WrestleMania, when he ruined his WrestleMania moment. He says that Cena will not ruin Super Show-Down for them. Elias demands that the light be toned done so that the spotlight stays solely on him. Owens says that every opportunity the people have to see Cena is special, as Cena has a big ego and only performs on a big stage. Elias says that Cena needs to wrestle men like them to stay relevant, as there is nobody in the world like him and Cena needs to be in there to feel like he is the best. Owens say to be the best, you have to beat the best, and he and Elias are the best right now. Owens says that John Cena and Bobby Lashley have no chance at Super Show-Down, then says Elias has to give encore performances all the time as his music is so popular. Owens says he will perform one in the form of a pop-up powerbomb on Cena. Suddenly, Lio Rush shows up and gives Owens and Elias props for taking their Super Show-Down match seriously, then tells Owens not to overlook tonight's match or he will look as foolish as he has made him for the past two weeks. Lio Rush then introduces Bobby Lashley for the next match.

Kevin Owens beats Bobby Lashley after Elias gets Lio Rush in a full nelson, distracting Lashley. After the match, Elias and Owens take the boots to Lashley, and when Lio Rush goes up top to make the save, Elias swats him away like a fly. Elias then helps Owens hit Lashley with a pop-up powerbomb.

Bayley beats Alicia Fox after Finn Balor brings Jinder Mahal's distraction to an end with a Sling Blade.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels shows up. Shawn talks about the match between The Undertaker and Triple H at Super Show-Down, saying he has felt a gambit of emotions about the match for the last few weeks and that Sunday will be the last match between them ever. He says that when it all started, he had to book himself a flight to Melbourne, Australia, as he knew this would be a historic moment and that he wanted to witness it as a fan. That was the plan until a couple of weeks ago. Then, it got personal. He says that when The Undertaker put him in a position where he had to make a choice about who he stood behind and believed he would win, everything changed, but he still stands behind Triple H. He says this upset The Undertaker, then says The Undertaker made it personal. He says that if 'Taker has Kane in his corner, then he will be in Triple H's. Shawn warns Kane or anyone else who tries to crowd the ring that he will brush them back courtesy of some Sweet Chin Music. Suddenly, Kane shows up. Instead of being on the stage, however, Kane is behind Shawn, who turned around to a big right hand. The lights then go out and a gong is heard, and when they come back on, 'Taker is standing by Kane. Shawn looks up to see 'Taker perform his throat slit taunt, and he is about to fall victim to a Tombstone Piledriver when Triple H runs to the ring. This leads to a big brawl between Triple H and The Undertaker, and Kane also gets some right hands when he gets involved.
