Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 10, 2020

Seth Rollins, Buddy Murphy (now known as just Murphy) and AOP (Akam and Rezar) are already in the ring to start tonight's show. Rollins says he is proud to stand in the ring as the "Monday Night Messiah," and says he knows how difficult is is for the people to speak from the heart and make decisions, and says he is here to do it for them and lead them into the future. Rollins then addresses Murphy and AOP's match with Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe and The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) from last week, and says that while his men were victorious, Owens and Joe got back at them by costing him a shot at the WWE Championship. He states that while patience is a virtue, his patience is running "very, very, very thin" concerning Owens, Joe and the Raiders, as he and his team are here to deliver a message of unity and they will not stop until that message is heard. Suddenly, Owens shows up, and Rollins warns him not to get in over his head like Ivar and Samoa Joe did, and that he has made the necessary sacrifices to become "the Monday Night Messiah." He says it is fine if Owens decides to become a martyr, but if he fights alone, he will fall alone. Owens tells Rollins he runs his mouth every week and sounds "stupid as hell," and now he looks stupid, too. He plans to keep fighting, and says he is not alone. The Viking Raiders soon join Owens on the stage, and Rollins tells Owens his main problem is keeping his partners upright. Owens jokingly pushes and chops Ivar and Erik, then says they are both as solid and as sick of Rollins talking as he is. Owens and the Raiders then charge towards the ring for a brawl. As Rollins watches from inside the ring, he is put into a Coaquina Clutch from behind by Samoa Joe, who has shown up out nowhere. The brawl is soon four-on-four, and Owens' team quickly comes out on top.



Before the next match, Asuka speaks in Japanese and says that beating Becky Lynch for the WWE Raw Women's Championship will be "easy-peasy."

Becky Lynch retains the WWE Raw Women's Championship against Asuka. After the match, Becky is attacked from behind by "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler, who puts Becky in the Kirafuda Clutch and biting her in the back on the neck. Blood is seen dripping from Baszler's mouth afterwards. Medical staff tend to Becky and escort her to the back.





Before the next match, Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) call out Mojo Rawley for hiding behind Riddick Moss while saying that the WWE 24/7 Championship will no longer be won by cowards.

It's time for The VIP Lounge with MVP for the first time in ten years. Tonight's guest is Drew McIntyre. McIntyre knocks the velvet rope out of the way as he heads to the ring. MVP says that he and McIntyre go way back, and says that McIntyre is realizing his potential as he should. MVP says he is proud of what McIntyre has done and what he will do, then tells McIntyre that some people think he is not ready to be WWE Champion just yet. He then says he is not worried about these "non-important" people, then says "we are going to change that." McIntyre implies that he won the Royal Rumble on his own, but MVP says that McIntyre should be focused entirely on his goals. At the same time, he proposes that an experienced veteran like him should handle everything else as his business manager. McIntyre entertains the idea, then says the difference between him and Brock Lesnar is that he does not need an external brain doing things for him. After stating that he does not need a business partner kissing his ass, MVP says he is not an ass-kisser, but he is an ass kicker. McIntyre is about to walk away, but MVP grabs him and says he needs him. McIntyre hits MVP with the Glasgow Kiss, then MVP gets Claymore Kicked right into a couch in the ring.



Before the next match, Zelina Vega says that Angel Garza is a man's man after his actions from last week, and Garza says no other man has measured up to him. He also says he is a ladies' man, as no woman can resist him. All of a sudden, Humberto Carrillo runs into the ring and attacks Angel Garza, and referees and security have to hold Carrillo back.

Angel Garza beats Cedric Alexander.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Rhea Ripley, who says that she gets up, gets out and does what she needs to be done until she gets what she wants instead of waiting for things. Suddenly, Sarah Logan shows up and says Ripley cannot come to Raw and do whatever she wants. Ripley asks Logan who she is before walking away.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Lana and Lashley. Lana says that Lashley is just warming up, and that Ricochet is a thief who stole what is rightfully Lashley's opportunity to face Brock Lesnar. Lashley says that took advantage of the situation last week, and tonight, he will re-introduce Ricochet to reality and make it so that Ricochet does not make it to Super Show-Down. He also says Lesnar can thank him for this one.

In the ring, Sarah Logan introduces herself and shows her irritation with Rhea Ripley before calling her out for a match. After Ripley shows up, Charlotte Flair also shows up and watches from the stage.

It is announced that WrestleMania 37 will take place at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California on March 28th, 2021.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Ricochet, who says that he does not intend on backing down from a fight, as being WWE Champion is a dream he has had for years and he has something that will help him last forever. He says that there is nothing that will keep him from going to Super Show-Down.

Ricochet beats Bobby Lashley.



It is announced that Becky Lynch is on her way back from a local medical facility.

Randy Orton shows up. Orton says he still owes everyone an explanation for why he attacked Edge, and as he says it hurt him more than it hurt Edge, Matt Hardy shows up. Matt Hardy demands that Orton explain himself, as everyone, including himself, wants to know why he attacked Edge. He says the history between himself and Edge is no secret, and at one point, nobody hated Edge more than he did. However, he, his brother Jeff Hardy, Edge and Christian were the best of friends at one time who wanted to live their dreams of being WWE Superstars and ended up making history with the very first TLC Match while stealing the show at WrestleMania. He says it took the four of them together to do it, and when Edge was forced to retire, something inside of him was gone, as he and Edge shared a huge passion for professional wrestling and he could not picture being forced to retire before he was ready. He says that Edge kept asking him "What if?", and nine years later, he made the most miraculous return ever only for Orton to take it away. Matt asks Orton "What in the hell is wrong with you?" Orton goes for an RKO out of nowhere, and while Matt Hardy fights back, Orton eventually hits the RKO on him. Orton then grabs two chairs from the timekeeper's area, places Matt's head on one and smashes Matt's head with the other.



Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Ruby Riott, who says that Liv Morgan was her best friend and that best friends know everything about each other. She says that the real Liv Morgan is a puppy dog who has to be led around on a leash, and that she will always be a follower that she had to babysit. She says she attacked her to put her in her place so that she strikes when she tells her to.

Aleister Black beats Akira Tozawa. After the match, Aleister says he is appreciative of the fans who are here tonight, as everyone is here to escape their given idea of paradise one way or the other, and he knows a thing or two about rebelling against paradise. He then says that he himself is starting to feel like an animal inside of a cage, and for those who venture out here, it will be them who will be trapped in the metaphorical cage with him, not the other way around.



Becky Lynch is seen getting out of the ambulance and returning to the arena.

The Garcia Family are the recipients of the Little Caesars Seat Upgrade.
