Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 5, 2020

Backstage, Randy Orton admits that he left in an ambulance instead of as WWE Champion, and while he does not remember the ride, he remembers the match, and he saw nothing but complete darkness and felt nothing but excruciating pain. The following night, as McIntyre and the Superstars he has punted celebrated on Raw "with a title he didn't deserve," he felt obligated to give them an equal but opposite reaction in the form of a re-introduction to "The Legend Killer." He wanted to make sure Big Show, Christian, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair felt the same pain he felt and the same darkness he saw, and he put on the night vision goggles in order to partake in their agony. Orton then describes in detail what he did to the four men in the Legends' Lounge last week, then says he wishes that he saw McIntyre's reaction, and that he will not stop until he is WWE Champion. He says this is not over until he says it is over, and that McIntyre still has hell to pay. Orton tells McIntyre to tell anyone who will listen that if one wants the legacy of being a WWE Champion, all he has to do is survive one more match against him in Hell In A Cell. Drew McIntyre then barges into the room where Orton is and proceeds to beat him up. Officials have to get involved and restore order, and Randy Orton runs out of the room.

Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke and Asuka beat Zelina Vega, Natalya and Lana. After the match, Nia Jax and Shayna Bazlers show up. Zelina Vega is able to leave, but Natalya and Lana are not, and Nia makes Lana pay for protecting Natalya by putting her through the announce table for a third time.

R-Truth and Little Jimmy practice a WWE mock draft as a janitor mops a floor nearby. A referee shows up, and the janitor swings his mop and hits the referee. R-Truth, thinking it is Randy Orton, dodges but trips over a mop bucket, and the janitor pins him for the 24/7 title. The janitor is not Randy Orton, but Drew Gulak, who runs away with the referee and the 24/7 Championship.

Backstage, Mustafa Ali, Apollo Crews and Ricochet are approached by MVP, who tells them that the WWE Draft can change their careers in an instant, and says that for one night only, he has an opening in The Hurt Business (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander). He says that regardless of what brand they go to, if they join "The Black and Gold," "business is booming." Apollo and Mustafa leave, but Ricochet looks back at MVP.

Before the next match, Murphy refuses to give Seth Rollins the microphone, and tells him that while he has been an ideal disciple, he wants him to apologize to Aalyah for his actions if he wants him to stay a disciple. Rollins goes of on Murphy, saying that he saved him and that he could have put a lot more out there - such as Aalyah's thoughts on their current situation - but chose not too. Dominik Mysterio and Humberto Carrillo's entrance interrupts them.

It's time for The Kevin Owens Show. Tonight's guest is Bray Wyatt. Owens says that he is usually happy to have a guest on his show, but tonight feels different, as The Fiend truly changes people when he touches them and he can still feel the agony and the dread of The Fiend. He tosses the chairs out of the ring, as tonight will be less about having a nice chat and more about what The Fiend did to him on last week's SmackDown. Owens admits it is hard to find the words to describe how The Fiend's Mandible Claw felt, and how he could not think or move and was just paralyzed. He also mentions that "guys with tortured souls" seem to have a problem with him as of late. Owens then calls out Bray Wyatt, but The Firefly Fun House shows up on the TitanTron. Bray says that Owens is his new friend, and that friends are great. He also says that friends stick together through thick and thin even between brands, then he and his puppets sing a song about friends until Owens tells Bray they are not friends after The Fiend attacked him. Owens then tells Bray to get in the ring right now so that he does not have to wait until Friday to beat the hell out of him. Bray says he does not like bullies, and neither does The Fiend, and that Alexa Bliss' business is between her and The Fiend. Bray tells Owens that he has no idea what he has gotten himself into, but on Friday, he will know, and tells him to consider this a warning, as this is what friends are for. Bray disappears, and Owens says that if Bray will not come to him, he will come to Bray. As he goes up the ramp, he is attacked from behind by Aleister Black, who hits Owens with a Black Mass.

Before the next match, MVP says that Ricochet, Apollo Crews and Mustafa Ali are so talented that he offered them a spot in The Hurt Business, and that The Hurt Business (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) would have won last week if it were not for Retribution (Slapjack, T-BAR, Mace). MVP then warns Retribution that if they want to play tough, they will fold, as The Hurt Business are really what nightmares are made of. Mustafa, Ricochet and Apollo show up.
