Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 18, 2019

Becky Lynch shows up to start tonight's show. Becky tells "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler and Bayley she is here, and dares them to face her champion to champion if they are here. She says that while they have been running around in the name of brand supremacy, but she does not care about brand supremacy. Becky then reiterates that she is right here, then says that the three of them can go at it tonight as there is no better place for the Irish to fight than Boston, Massachusetts. Suddenly, The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) show up. Peyton says that they weren't going to stay silent during Survivor Series, and Billie states that they have been left off the Raw women's Survivor Series team. Becky says that instead of an IIconic future, and with her tagging with Charlotte Flair tonight, a better future would be her fighting them right now. Charlotte shows up and acknowledges that neither of them want to team up together, but the forces want them together and she has a Survivor Series match too in which she leads Raw's women's time. Suddenly, Samoa Joe shows up to guest on commentary.



Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair beat The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) with a Figure Eight on Billie Kay. After the match, "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Bazler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir show up and attack The IIconics, and when Becky and Charlotte turn around on the ramp, they go back in the ring but are quickly overpowered. Becky and Charlotte go after Baszler, Duke and Shafir in the crowd, but are stopped by security. Becky punches one of the security guards out and chews out the other three.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins. Ryder says an opportunity like tonight's - where they face The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships - does not happen too often, and they are prepared for tonight. As Hawkins speaks, he and Ryder are approached by The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar), who lay them out.



Before the next match, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles says he would love to defend the United States Championship against Humberto Carrillo, but Humberto disrespected him last week. Gallows says that when you disrespect one member of The O.C. (Styles, Gallows, Karl Anderson), you disrespect them all. Styles says that this is why Luke Anderson will beat the crap out of Humberto. Anderson says this sounds like a party, and tonight, Humberto will be taught a lesson courtesy of The O.C.

Humberto Carrillo beats Karl Anderson. During the match, Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) show up to even the odds on the outside. Near the end of the match, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles distracts the referee so that Luke Gallows can hit Humberto, and when Anderson rolls up Humberto with an inside cradle, Street Profits reverse it to give Humberto the win.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Seth Rollins. Rollins says he has not backed down from a challenge and is not backing down now when it comes to putting his men's Survivor Series slot on the line. He says he leads by example, and while he admires Andrade, tonight is "Monday Night Rollins." Charly Caruso then announces that there will soon be some breaking news that has to be heard to be believed.

Before the next match, Lana announces that she has filed for divorce from Rusev, and that when Rusev landed in the United States from a European tour, he was served with a restraining order that keeps him from being within 90 feet of her. She then says that she and Bobby Lashley want Rusev out of their lives so they can be together forever.

Bobby Lashley beats No Way Jose with a full nelson. After the match, Lashley and Lana make out in the middle of the ring.



Before the next match, Zelina Vega announces that Andrade will be leading Raw into battle against SmackDown and NXT this Sunday.

Seth Rollins beats Andrade by disqualification after he is attacked from out of nowhere by The Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Lince Dorado, Gran Metalik). After the match, The Lucha House Party surround Andrade and attack him, and Seth Rollins gets in the ring and fights them off. Afterwards, Andrade tells Seth he wants to face him again. Seth tells Andrade they will do it down the road.



Backstage, Buddy Murphy knocks on Aleister Black's door to announce that he is picking a fight with him, then leaves. Aleister then comes out of the door to look around.

Backstage, a series of black vans show up, and Triple H comes out of one of them.

Buddy Murphy beats Akira Tozawa.



Erick Rowan is seen speaking to someone - or something - from outside of a cage.

Backstage, Buddy Murphy approaches Aleister Black's door and calls him out. Aleister comes out from behind the door, and both men have a staredown.

Erick Rowan beats Alex Malcom. Before the match, The Singh Brothers (Samir and Sunil Singh) run around the ring with R-Truth chasing after them. Erick Rowan hits both Singh Brothers with a double clothesline, then lays out Alex Malcom by throwing him into The Singh Brothers before tackling all three men. One claw slam later, Rowan pins Malcom with his foot.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Randy Orton. Orton says that after 18 years, it is proven that he does not play well with others unless it benefits him. He says that Survivor Series benefits him. He then tells Charly Caruso to tell The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) that he is ready for a fight with a partner of his choosing who will benefit him.

Kevin Owens vs. Drew McIntyre ends in a no-contest. During the match, Triple H shows up. After the commercial break, Triple H hands Kevin Owens a bottled water and talks about his training with Killer Kowalski and his matches in the Boston Garden and the current venue while five NXT Superstars watch from the bottom of the ramp. Triple H says he has a soft spot for Seth Rollins due to his passion, then says Owens is different for he is a different breed, as he turned on his own best friend for the NXT Championship and picked a fight with John Cena while still champion. He says that Owens legitimized NXT, and that he was then taken by people who didn't understand him until they had him and didn't want him because he was too smart and too unique to the point that he was told he did not belong. Triple H then says he sees everything that Owens knows he is and says he is, and that he sees a guy who does not fit the mold. He then says the NXT Superstars are at the ramp to ensure this conversation takes place, and that Owens' own teammates do not give a damn about him. Before Triple H can say much else, members of the Raw locker room attack the NXT Superstars at the ramp, and Owens is suddenly attacked from behind by The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). The Undisputed Era flee through the crowd as The O.C. ("The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) shows up.





Charly Caruso announces that next week will be Humberto Carrillo vs. AJ Styles for the United States Championship. Humberto says he is humbled and grateful for the opportunity. We then hear from Paul Heyman, who announces that Brock Lesnar will be 100% for Survivor Series and that Rey Mysterio vs. Lesnar for the WWE Championship will be no-holds-barred. He then says that either Rey will pull off a miracle and avenge his family, or Lesnar will hurt Rey so badly that the match will become "a public torture session." Charly Caruso interviews Rey Mysterio, who tells Humberto Carrillo that he is proud of his success and to keep doing what he is doing, as he has what it takes to win the United States Championship from AJ Styles. Rey then says Lesnar made a mistake attacking his family and making their match no-holds-barred, as he accepts the challenge and that he will show what he can do with a little help from a pipe. He asks Lesnar if the stipulation is to his advantage, and that he will hunt him down and make him pay. He says the old him would ask for an apology, but that is not Lesnar's nature. On Sunday, he is not coming for an apology; he is coming for the WWE Championship.

Asuka beats Natalya.



Randy Orton's partner is revealed to be Ricochet.

Randy Orton and Ricochet vs. The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships ends in a no-contest. Backstage during the match, members of the SmackDown locker room are seen attacking members of the Raw locker room. As Randy Orton is about to hit Ivar with an RKO, the SmackDown locker room attacks everyone in the ring. Both teams in the match end up standing tall, then the NXT locker room shows up and start fighting the SmackDown wrestlers. The NXT Superstars come out on top, and more people from the NXT roster surround both teams in the match. Seth Rollins then shows up with the Raw locker room, and all three brands begin brawling with one another. As the NXT Superstars surround Seth Rollins, Triple H announces that NXT will finish this at Survivor Series and prove that they are the top brand. Until then, Wednesday is an open door for anybody from Raw and SmackDown.



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