Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 13, 2023

Becky Lynch and WWE official Adam Pearce are already in the ring to start tonight's show. She says that as good as it felt to beat Bayley in a steel cage match and to have Lita having her back, she realized that her path to WrestleMania was no longer clear and she has been so distracted by Damage CTRL (Bayley, Iyo Sky, Dakota Kai) and that she lost sight of championship gold. She says that as good as it felt to beat Bayley in a steel cage match and to have Lita having her back, she realized that her path to WrestleMania was no longer clear and she has been so distracted by Damage CTRL and that she lost sight of championship gold. Bayley shows up and tells Becky that if she thinks she is getting into the Women's Elimination Chamber Match after what happened between them, she is stupider than the fans, as she did not finish the job and Lita had to finish the job for her. After Becky reminds Bayley that Lita took care of Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai so she could take care of her, Bayley wants the steel cage match stricken from the record books. Bayley says she is a grand slam champion, but Becky says she has main evented WrestleMania. Becky and Bayley then argue about their accomplishments, then Bianca Belair shows up and says that she likes where this is going and says they should go through her to compete in the Elimination Chamber. Adam Pearce makes a Triple Threat Match between the three of them. If Bayley or Becky win, they can enter the Elimination Chamber and start the match off as a a Triple Threat Match, but if neither of them win, neither of them can get in the Chamber.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio). Damian Priest asks if the other men in the United States Championship Elimination Chamber Match are ready for him, and Dominik says he knows Damian will win that match. He also says that Rhea Ripley is still traveling the world, but is still excited for Elimination Chamber. Finn Balor then says that The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) will be "rolled up, bowled up and smoked up" tonight.

The Judgment Day (Finn Balor and Damian Priest) beat The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) following the distraction from Dominik Mysterio. After the match, Priest superkicks Ford in the face, but as The Judgment Day attack Ford, Edge and "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix run out to the ring. Edge fends off Finn Balor and Damian Priest, then Rhea Ripley shows up out of nowhere to save Dominik from Beth.

WWE official Adam Pearce oversees a contract signing for Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley at Elimination Chamber. Brock Lesnar shows up first and throws a chair out of the ring, having already signed the contract last week. Pearce then says that he needs Lashley's signature, then Lesnar calls Lashley out. Additional security personnel show up, then three backstage workers bring out a table and chair before Lashley shows up. Lashley says this is not "The Brock Lesnar Show" after Adam Pearce says this is not necessary, and says that whenever he and Lesnar have squared off, he has left him laying, and now, he is in the driver's seat and they are doing things on his terms. He sits as his own table as he says that he has had everyone look at the contract, then says he does not know if he going to sign the contract before Lesnar tells him to get up to the ring and sign the contract. Lashley refuses, and Lesnar threatens to beat Lashley up and make him sign the contract. Lashley says they are face-to-face and that Lesnar does not have the balls to do it. Lesnar then powers through security to make good on his promise. At the stage, however, Lashley slams him into the ramp and hits him with a Spear, then heads to the ring, grabs the contract and signs it before placing it on top of a downed Lesnar.

Piper Niven beats "Michin" Mia Yim.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Baron Corbin. Corbin says it has been a really depressing week, then the cameras cut to Sami Zayn, who is wearing a black hoodie and is suddenly in the ring. Sami says he is not here to hold up the show, then tells "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes that he knows he is here and asks Cody to indulge him and come to the ring. Cody heads to the ring. Sami mentions Cody's verbal altercation with Paul Heyman, then mentions the possibility of the two of them facing off at WrestleMania. He then asks Cody to tell him if it is just lip service or he believes Sami can beat Roman Reigns. Cody says that he meant it when he said that Sami could beat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, then says that what really matters is not what he believes, but what Sami believes. Cody asks Sami if he believes he can defeat Roman Reigns, and Sami admits he does not know, because Cody has not seen what he has seen as part of The Bloodline for the last nine months and The Bloodline always finds a way. He also says that "G.O.D. Mode" is not a catchphrase and that Roman Reigns is now the best he has ever been, and that he has seen bigger men walking into matches with Roman Reigns only for all of them to go down. He then says that if he is capable of beating Roman Reigns, becoming the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and main eventing WrestleMania, he says yes, but on the subject of walking out of Elimination Chamber as champion, he does not know. Cody finds it strange that Cody does not know when all the fans now, but while he has not seen Roman Reigns up close, there is dissension in The Bloodline and it is all because of Sami. He says that Roman Reigns is still a man, and if he were to crack him open at Elimination Chamber, he would find out for himself. He then says that he intends to finish his story and that Sami should finish his. Cody then says he does not want to see Sami on Raw next Monday, because he would rather want to see him at WrestleMania.

Backstage, Carmella is met by Nikki Cross, who says she was playing hide-and-seek with her new friend. Carmella is creeped out and is more focused on Elimination Chamber, then finds out Asuka is behind her. Carmella runs off, then Candice LeRae shows up. When Candice wants to know why Nikki is following her, Nikki laughs at her and walks away.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Baron Corbin again. Corbin says he is better off without JBL, as he gives him bad advice and hobbles around in a cowboy hat, as he is the past. He says that it is time to prove who Baron Corbin is, and that he is sick and tired of being overlooked. He also says that Roman Reigns will destroy Sami Zayn in front of friend and family, then says he was the last person to beat Roman before he went undefeated. He then says that Roman Reigns has another opponent in "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, who he says was handed opportunities as Cody Rhodes watches from afar. As he says that Cody Rhodes and his family are a joke, Cody jumps Corbin. Cody then fights across a group of referees and calls for a referee for an impromptu match, and Cody attacks Corbin all the way down the ramp and into the ring.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes beats Baron Corbin.

Backstage, Natalya is not happy about Becky Lynch and Bayley worming their way into the Women's Elimination Chamber match, but Liv sees them as one more person to beat on the road to WrestleMania. As Natalya takes offense to not being seen as a threat, Raquel Rodriguez tells them to save it for Saturday.

Carmella, Asuka and Nikki Cross beat Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez and Natalya in a six-woman tag match after Asuka attacks everyone before winning the match with an Asuka Lock on Liv Morgan.

Backstage, Otis is eating a hot dog as Chad Gable talks about redoing the Alpha Academy curriculum. When Chad Gable takes the hot dog and throws it away, it hits Mansoor. Maxxine Dupri wants to know if Otis has modeling experience and hands him their business card, then Maximum Male Models (Maxxine Dupri, Mace, Mansoor) leaves. Bronson Reed then walks up to Gable and Otis, snickers, then heads to the ring.

Bronson Reed beats Mustafa Ali.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Edge and Beth Phoenix. Edge says he has been getting tired of the back-and-forth with The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio) for the past year, and Beth says The Judgment Day will find out why they are called "The Grit Couple."

It's time for Miz TV. Tonight's guest is Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. On the subject of Logan Paul, Rollins says that if you have nothing nice to say about some, don't saying anything at all, but Miz mentions Rollins being eliminated from the Royal Rumble by Logan Paul and talking about him on social media. When Miz asks why he will not mention him in real life, Rollins responds with "Shut up, Mike!" - leading to a chant - then says he refuses to talk about him because of WrestleMania, as he wants to headline WrestleMania and that is all that matters to him. He then says that Logan Paul doesn't give a damn about that dream, for he is selfish, soulless and only concerned about lining his own pockets, and says he does not mention him in real life because he does not deserve it. Rollins then goes on to say that Logan wants attention, but what he needs is his teeth kicked in. Miz accuses Rollins of jealousy, but Rollins says that is not it and that Miz cannot be that stupid. Miz says he is not stupid, but Rollins - and the fans - think otherwise, saying he is the only double Grand Slam Champion to headline WrestleMania, which Rollins will never do because of Logan Paul. After some Super Mario Bros. jokes from Miz, Rollins punches Miz in the face and hits him with a chair, then Austin Theory pulls Rollins out of the ring, forcing Rollins to fend him off. Rollins avoids a Skull Crushing Finale, then hits him with The Stomp before Austin Theory gets back in the ring and hits Rollins with A-Town Down.

Backstage, Rick Boogs is met by Elias, who states that he has heard all the comparisons between them, and tells him not to let a potential loss to The Miz get to him. After Elias says they could do a collaboration someday, Boogs says he was born to rip and shred and that he is "Booged Out."

Before the next match, The Miz says the next match is not happening after what just happened to him, but the bell is rung anyway and Rick Boogs beats him for the win.

Backstage, Chelsea Green complains to WWE official Adam Pearce, demanding that she be treated like the star that she is and demands that she be put in tonight's Triple Threat Match between Becky Lynch, Bayley and Bianca Belair. Pearce walks away.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio). Finn Balor says they always have the upper hand, and Dominik Mysterio says says that when it comes to Edge and "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix, they used to be good, but the game has passed them by. Damian Priest says that he will walk out of Elimination Chamber as United States Champion and Rhea Ripley will walk out WrestleMania as WWE SmackDown Women's Champion.

We get a closer look at the Elimination Chamber.
