Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 6, 2022

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring. Cody says he has seen comments on social media praising him for his performance last night, then says it is a privilege to do what he does and admits that while tearing his pectoral muscle may be demoralizing, he does not want to be downtrodden. He then talks about his daughter and says that when she is old enough, he wants her to watch what happened last week and know that in the darkest of times and what could have been the lowest of lows, he stood and fought against one of the best. Cody says that the trilogy has been written and the book has been closed, and that he is done with Seth Rollins. He then talks about the two Money In The Bank briefcases above him. He says the briefcase has eluded him through his career, but in four weeks' time, if he was able to climb the ladder and grab the briefcase, he would cash it in and become WWE Universal Champion. Seth Rollins shows up in a less than jovial mood and tells Cody that he still does not like him, but after what he put himself through last night, he has earned his respect. Rollins says that Cody is one of the best that he has been in the ring with and tells Cody that his father would be proud, and that he is returning the favor after Cody showed him respect after WrestleMania. After he and Cody shake hands, Rollins whispers something into Cody's ear, then leaves. As Cody leaves, he is struck from behind by Rollins, who attacks him with a sledgehammer. Rollins then rips at Cody's clothes before referees try to stop him, then Rollins stomps on the injured pectoral muscle and presses the sledgehammer against it.

After the commercial break, Cody gets back up under his own power, and limps to the back.

He says that you never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake, and MVP made a mistake stabbing him in the back. He also says it felt "damn good" to have MVP in the Hurt Lock. Before he can say what is next after putting MVP and Omos in his rear view mirror, Austin Theory shows up says he does not know what authority allowed Lashley to steal his spotlight and that is his time, not Lashley's. He only says Lashley is out here because somebody helped him win his match while he won his match all by himself, then tells Theory to get out of his ring. Lashley says the ring is his, then proposes they settle things like men. Austin accepts, then shows off his biceps only to find out Lashley's is bigger.

She says they cannot be controlled and that their message is spreading like wildfire, and that their destiny has no limitation. Damian Priest says that Rhea Ripley will be one step closer to omnipotence when she wins her match tonight and faces Bianca Belair at Money In The Bank. Edge says The Judgment Day did what they said they would do and that he is proud of Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley for how they have grown in the short time they have been part of his learning tree. Edge says that this is because they listened, then says that someone else was hearing their message and is about to introduce The Judgment Day's newest member when Finn Balor shows up. Finn Balor and Edge shake hands, and Edge says he saw the look in his eyes change during their match and that he was ecstatic when Rhea and Damian told him he reached out. Finn says that look was one of clarity and of a calling, not a choice, and that he extends the ability of that clarity to Rhea and Damian, whom he says are fighting better and that have a lot in common. After Finn Balor says that he is tired of being told what to do, Damian Priest says The Judgment Day is ready to shed the last bit of limitation holding them back: Edge. Rhea, Damian and Finn gang up on Edge, and Finn Balor hits Edge with the Coup de Grace. Edge gets up and fights back, but he gets powerbombed through the announce table.
