Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 18, 2024

Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez head to the ring to start tonight's show. Liv says that she knows that a few people want to take her on, then says that they did not come alone. She then says that she did not come alone either, and introduces Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae to the ring. Nia admits that she does not like or dislike Raquel, much less think about her, then says she and Liv have had their business, and while she does not like her but does not dislike, she does not think of her at all, either. As she says that she cannot stop thinking about Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill and Naomi, however, the three of them show up, and Bianca tells Nia to do something if she wants to. She then says they did not come alone. Iyo Sky joins them, and the four of them head to the ring. Liv says they are not so smart, as they are still outnumbered and nobody else wants to be on their team. She then asks who wants to throw the first punch, then Rhea Ripley shows up. Rhea Ripley wears a protective mask as she makes her way to the ring and screams "WarGames!" before headbutting Liv, starting a brawl. Rhea chases Liv into the crowd while Liv's team gets decimated.

At Travis Scott's concert at ComplexCon, Travis Scott is awarded a Hardcore Championship with a more modern design and is given a shot to appear and defend it at Raw on January 6th.

The Latino World Order (Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega) beat American Made (Chad Gable and Ivy Nile) in a mixed tag team match. After the match, The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) show up, then Gable slaps Julius. Julis and Brutus get physical with each other, then American Made (Gable, Julius, Brutus, Ivy) celebrate.

Backstage, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez meet with the rest of The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito). Finn Balor says he can take the wheel tonight, then tells Dominik Mysterio that he is the man for beating Damian Priest and that he and Carlito will show what The Judgment Day is all about. He then says that he knows their opponents' strengths and weaknesses and that they can take care of things, then JD McDonagh speaks with Finn in private.

We hear from The Miz, who says it has been an emotional couple of weeks, and that now, he can honestly say and truly hope that it was the performance of a lifetime as Karrion Kross laughs behind him. Kross says he did what he has always done, and that show the truth that The Wyatt Sicks (Bo Dallas, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross) uses wounded people to make themselves feel better and that they are not invincible. Miz says that this is the shot in the arm "The Marine 7" needs, and Kross says that he deals the cards while people continue to play the game that he controls.

Backstage, Gunther tells Ludwig Kaiser not to speak for him and that he should realize who he is, make a name for himself and speak for himself. He says that from now on, he must stand as his own man. He then says that he is still the man he has always been, and that Damian Priest does not get under his skin. After he tells Kaiser to take care of business, he takes off his jacket and attacks Priest - who he suddenly notices - from behind only for Priest to get the upper hand. He says that Gunther may be a general in the ring, but he is a king in the streets. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up, but Priest tells Pearce he was just :having a word with the champ."

Bron Breakker retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Sheamus by disqualification after being clotheslined from out of nowhere by Ludwig Kaiser. After the match, Kaiser takes out Breakker, then drop kicks Sheamus into the ring steps. Kaiser then tells Sheamus that he will not stop until he is gone for good.

Backstage, The Usos ("Main Event" Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) and Sami Zayn meet with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Jey says they all have their differences with Roman Reigns, but they have to put their differences aside. Sami tells Rollins he did this before with Cody Rhodes last year, and asks him to do it again. Rollins says he would stand side-by-side with them, but he will never do that with Roman Reigns, as much as he would love to tear "Big" Bronson Reed in a steel cage, and says that it is not worth it for him. He then says he will solve their problems tonight by dropping "Big" Bronson Reed so he does not make it to Survivor Series WarGames. Rollins then wishes them good luck before saying he is out.

We see a video package where Dakota Kai talks about how she was injured four months ago as well as her path to her recent WWE return.

The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) beat The Judgment Day ("Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Carlito). After the match, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh rush into the ring and lay out The War Raiders.

We see another tape from The Wyatt Sicks (Bo Dallas, Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, Nikki Cross) where Bo Dallas says he tried to warn The Miz and Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Akam, Rezar, Paul Ellering). He says the trust of the innocent is a liar's most useful tool. He says The Wyatt Sicks offered salvation and freedom from the pit, but that The Miz has damned himself. Bo Dallas then says that he is sorry for what happens next, as "you chose this" and The Final Testament's (Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Akam, Rezar, Paul Ellering) hands will be bloodstained because of their actions, and they will lose what matters most. He then says he never wanted this.

We hear from Lyra Valkyria, who talks about her journey on the main roster and how she stood toe-to-toe with the best in the world. She then says that she is coming for everyone in the women's division.

Backstage, Alpha Academy (Otis, Akira Tozawa, Maxxine Dupri) meets with Kofi Kingston. Xavier Woods shows up saying they have to talk, as they have been doing nothing but arguing and that he has remembered what Karrion Kross has said about The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) being dead and them not knowing it. When Otis steps in, Woods tells him to stay out of this, and this leads to a match between Alpha Academy and The New Day next week.

Before the next match, Solo Sikoa's Bloodline (Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu) shows up, but so do The Usos ("Main Event" Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) and Sami Zayn, and this starts a brawl where both teams go at it.

Bronson Reed beats Seth "Freakin'" Rollins following the distraction from Solo Sikoa.
