Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 13, 2026

We hear from Roman Reigns, who says that he gave CM Punk advice only for Punk to do what he thought he would do: lie and try to revise his history. He says that his fans lived through it all and that Punk exposed himself as a hypocrite. Footage of CM Punk and Pat McAfee speaking is shown, then Roman says that while he likes Pat McAfee, he has never had a punter run his mouth to him. He says that it is not 2012 anymore and the fans love him now. Roman says he will give CM Punk one last chance to tell the truth, or he will. We then heard the words "This message has been approved by your Tribal Chief."

General Manager Adam Pearce and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque are in the ring. Pearce announces that Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar will sign their match contract separately to avoid what happened last week before Paul Heyman arrives. Heyman says it is "WrestleMania fight week" and that nobody should even get close to "The Beast," Brock Lesnar, who shows up and heads to the ring with Heyman. Heyman signs the contract for his WrestleMania match before tipping his hat to Pearce while Triple H shakes Heyman's hand. Lesnar grabs the microphone from Heyman's hand and says that nobody will remember Oba Femi's hand after this weekend, then Heyman says that in "the real main event of WrestleMania," there will be a winner and a loser. He says that the loser's name is Oba Femi, and that the winner will be Brock Lesnar.



iShowSpeed is met by The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory). iShowSpeed admits that he is not a wrestler, but Logan Paul says it does not matter and that he is a phenom, and that it is time to lock in. Austin Theory recaps the situation, and says that LA Knight and The Usos have it out for him. iShowSpeed psyches himself up, then starts training with The Vision. Some of the Performance Center talent is involved (including Dante Chen), and at one point, iShowSpeed is able to do a Boston Crab. At the end, iShowSpeed is a lot more confident.

Lyra Valkyria beats Bayley after Charlotte tosses Lyra into Bayley on the outside and goes for an O'Connor Roll only for Bayley to trip up Charlotte on the outside, allowing Lyra to get the win. After the match, Charlotte and Alexa Bliss brawl with Bayley and Lyra, and the referee has to get between both teams.



We see footage from yesterday of NASCAR racer Bubba Wallace in the #23 WrestleMania 42 car.

Backstage, LA Knight and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) are met by The MFT's (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Talla Tonga, JC Mateo). Solo Sikoa says The Usos make the family look bad by hanging with LA Knight, and after Jimmy tells Solo he has a big problem, LA Knight challenges The MFT's to a six-man tag match tonight.

We see some footage of Netflix's new biography about Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan: Real American, revolving around becoming the third man and joining the New World Order at Bash at the Beach 1996.



Cathy Kelley interviews Stephanie Vaquer in the ring. All of a sudden, Vaquer is attacked from out of nowhere by Liv Morgan, and officials have to break up the ensuing brawl. Liv dares Vaquer to fight her in the ring, then says that she knew Vaquer's mother was trash, yet she did not know that she raised a little bitch. Vaquer yells at Liv before getting back in the ring and fighting her again. Once again, officials have to separate them both.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Iyo Sky. Iyo says she may have lost against Jade Cargill last week, but she does not regret fighting for Rhea Ripley, and nobody will be rooting for Rhea more than her. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up, and Asuka tells Iyo that Rhea is not her family. She also mentions Iyo entering WrestleMania last year as champion, then says that Iyo is just Rhea's sidekick now. Iyo takes exception to this and tells Kairi Sane that she does not have to listen to her, and that leads to Asuka putting Kairi in a match against Iyo tonight.

LA Knight and The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) beat The MFT's (Solo Sikoa, Tonga Loa, JC Mateo) in a six-man tag match. Near the end of the match, Solo Sikoa is distracted with Tama Tonga, who suddenly shows up from behind the barricade, and Solo confronts Tama about where he has been alongside Talla Tonga as LA Knight hits Tama Tonga with the BFT for the pin and the win.



Gunther heads to the ring. After the commercial break, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins rushes to the ring and attacks Gunther before he can speak. Rollins calls this his receipt for Gunther attacking him two weeks in a row, and at WrestleMania, he finishes the job. Rollins then says that if this is personal for Gunther and not about kissing Paul Heyman's ass, then Gunther should look him in the eye and tell him why he should fight him at WrestleMania. Gunther calls Rollins' bluff and says he will solve Heyman's problem with a smile on his face, as Rollins has been pissing him off by walking around like he is the best in the ring while he is the best and not Rollins. He says that Rollins became a useful idiot for Heyman and that he is setting it straight at WrestleMania and proving that Rollins cannot lace his boots. This leads to a brawl, and Rollins nearly hits The Stomp on Gunther into the ring steps before Gunther retreats into the crowd.



We see smoke on a black background. The screen flashes red while a heartbeat can be heard. Backstage, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio complains to General Manager Adam Pearce about having to face The Demon and not Finn Balor, and wants the WrestleMania match cancelled. Pearce tells Dominik that he is getting what he deserves at WrestleMania, just like Rey Mysterio.

Actor Yahya Adbul-Matteen II and Sacramento Kings forward Dylan Cardwell are seen in the crowd.

Kairi Sane beats Iyo Sky. During the match, Rhea Ripley shows up to keep Asuka from getting involved in the match and goes for Riptide on Asuka only to be attacked from behind by Jade Cargill. Iyo takes out Cargill with a tope suicida, then fends off Kairi Sane before going for Over the Moonsault. As referee Jessika Carr checks on Kairi, Asuka trips Iyo off the top turnbuckle, and Kairi wins with a schoolkid pin.



We see a video package for Becky Lynch vs. AJ Lee for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania.

General Manager Adam Pearce and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque introduce Oba Femi to the ring to sign the contract for his WrestleMania match against Brock Lesnar. Oba Femi shows up, heads to the ring, shakes hands with Triple H and Pearce, then signs the contract. Oba then takes the microphone, then notices Paul Heyman on the stage. Heyman says that in his entire life, he has never seen someone handle Brock Lesnar the way that Oba Femi did and says that Oba is a violent man, which he admires from afar as he calls Oba the greatest up-and-comer he has seen since Lesnar. Heyman then declares that this will all come to an end and that everything Oba has built will come crashing down with an F-5 in Suplex City by Brock Lesnar. He also tells Oba that there is no shame in this lose and nothing but pride in being in the WrestleMania main event, and that while Oba will be conquered by Lesnar, his door will always be open to Oba Femi when he needs to rebuild his career. Oba says it is taking everything to keep him from beating Heyman pillar to post, then says that it is deeper than that. He says that while the physical scars will heal, the emotional wounds will last forever when Lesnar loses. He says that the only door he needs to open is already open, and that is the door to WrestleMania. He says Heyman and Lesnar issued the challenge to whoever stepped up, and that he has proven that Lesnar can be baten. Oba says this is just business, but it is not business as usual and that he, Heyman and the fans can all feel it. He says it is time to put an end to Lesnar, then calls Heyman out on his dishonesty, for if he were honest, he would admit that Lesnar is afraid of him. Oba says that he will slay "The Beast" and that he will be the one to beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.



We see the world premiere of Liv Morgan's "Trouble," which was briefly hinted at last week with the footage of the dancers.



Je'Von Evans and Dragon Lee beat Rusev and JD McDonagh with a Styles Clash from Dragon Lee to JD McDonagh. After the match, Rusev attacks Je'Von Evans and Dragon Lee, then Rey Mysterio runs to the ring and fights Rusev only to get clotheslined. Penta shows up and brawls with Rusev only to eat a Machka Kick. Je'Von goes for an OG Cutter, but Rusev lays him out. When McDonagh congratulates Rusev, Rusev lays him out, too. Rusev then attacks Dragon Lee and puts him in the Accolade.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is on the phone with John Cena when he is met by Danhausen, who wants to speak with Cena. Danhausen hopes to see Cena, as Pearce cannot see him. Pearce tells Cena that he will call him back, then Danhausen disappears.



Roman Reigns heads to the ring. As Roman demands the crowd acknowledge him, CM Punk shows up and heads to the ring. CM Punk says that Roman made a "smear campaign" in the show's cold open and states that Roman can be judge, jury and executioner as he tells his truth, then states "Tell me when I'm telling lies." Punk heads towards the ring, but Punk says that if he enters the ring, they will not need microphones. Punk stands at the apron and states that he hates Roman because he envies him, and says the only dream that he has ever had in his heart and all he ever wanted was handed to Roman. Punk says he hates that Roman was champion for 1,316 days and the number of times that he main evented WrestleMania. As he hates that he envies Roman, he talks about how he respected Sika as well as the old-timers, and hates that he mentioned his father's name in vain and apologizes to Roman for it. Punk says that he hates that there is more than one royal family and that he was not born into it and has no idea what that life is like. He says he was born in the streets of Chicago, Illinois and had to find his own family in the fans. Punk says he found his family in the indies, travelled the world twice and busted his ass to make pro wrestling his home and his family, and hates that he has to share this main event WrestleMania match with Roman. Punk says that at Saturday, he has gold on his shoes and around his waist, and when it is all over, he will have gold above his head as he retains the World Heavyweight Championship while the fans chant "CM Punk." Roman says that this is "the truest stuff he heard [Punk] say...up until the end," then says he hates Punk and has hated him for a long time, but it is because of Punk's relationship with the fans. He hopes that when he leaves, the fans miss him as much as they missed Punk and chant for him for ten years straight, and that the connection Punk has is the one thing he really has, and it cannot be taken away from him. He then says that Punk's truth is not reality and that time will be up for him at WrestleMania, and that he will become the new World Heavyweight Champion. He says that the experiment and nostalgia act is done, and that the Punk problem will be fixed and he will take back over, and the world will acknowledge him.

Let's Go! - LFG recap for April 13, 2025

D-Von Dudley meets with Bubba Ray Dudley at the Performance Center entrance. Bubba says that the Future Greats need to learn the art of tag team wrestling, and that he needs D-Von to drive the point home.



Shawn Michaels meets with the Legends and Future Greats, with tag team wrestling being the challenge for the week. Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley are announced as the coaches for the week. Bubba Ray gets in Booker T's face as he and D-Von talk about their 24 world tag team title reigns (with Booker saying ECW's tag titles were regional), and Bubba Ray says that while they were not the strongest or the prettiest, they had the chemistry and a great tag team finish. Bubba Ray and D-Von want to see chemistry and the ability to work together, and want the teams to work on something that they cannot forget. Penina and Leigh Laurel will face Sirena and Dani; Zena and Tatyanna will face Tyra Mae and Bayley Humprey; Drake Morreaux and Cutler James will face Troy Yearwood and Chris Island; Shiloh Hill and Elijah Holyfield will face Jasper Troy and Anthony Luke. D-Von will give one point to the best male team and one point to the best female tag team. Shawn demands that Bubba Ray be nonbiased.





Cutler James and Drake Morreaux are working on a tag team finisher when BJ shows up and says that he is medically cleared, and Cutler tells BJ to shut up and that "there's the door," Bubba Ray asks Cutler James what would happen if he had to team with BJ, and Cutler James says he would have to do it. Bubba Ray says the tiff between Cutler and BJ concerns him more than BJ, and that Cutler has to coexist with and work together with people and be professional. He has Cutler and BJ work together in an attempt to make Cutler act like more of a professional, and apologizes to Morreaux. Cutler thinks that this is a game for Bubba Ray and that Bubba Ray likes tension.

The Legends and Future Greats are working on tag team moves. Troy Yearwood and Chris Island work on a double kip-up into a double elbow drop, which Bubba Ray is impressed with. Meanwhile, Cutler James and BJ are monstly on the same page.

Chris Island and Troy Yearwood beat BJ Ray and Cutler James. During the match, BJ gets into business for himself, and Bubba Ray thinks that something is not right. Mickie James gets suspicious when BJ refuses to tag in Cutler James, and Cutler James finally has enough. This distracts Chris Island, and BJ gets the win with a schoolkid pin on Island. After the match, Cutler is angry, and Bubba Ray confronts BJ, telling him to walk out through the back door right now. Bubba Ray, D-Von and Mickie James confront BJ for going into business for himself, and it becomes obvious that BJ only cares about himself. Bubba tells BJ that he put everyone , and BJ says he did not think about it before saying he only cared about entertaining the fans. Bully is the most enraged out of everyone. Afterwards, Bubba Ray apologizes to Troy Yearwood and Chris Island. BJ says Cutler James has an ego and a tough guy act, and that he made Cutler "rage quit the match" and exposed him. Cutler says he will not work with BJ again, and if BJ wants to go into business for himself, then so be it.

Before the next match, Dani looks back to getting back into the ring, and while she has nerves stepping back in, she is medically cleared. Sirena feels she has confidence in herself despite the pressure she is under. Mickie comes up with a sequence for a tag. Penina wants to be sure that everyone's personality shows in the match. Booker T tells Penina and Leigh that they cannot have any air in between when it comes to their double-team maneuver.

Leigh Laurel and Penina Tuilalepa beat Sirena Linton and Dani Sekelsky. After the match, Mickie James felt the match fell more on Penina and Leigh, and Booker T sasys that the match felt "overthought." Leigh says the match was too complicated, and Booker T says the match did not do what was needed for Booker T to score a point.

The Undertaker goes over a referee spot for the next match. Jasper Troy feels like he is seeing a lot of emotion from The Undertaker as he explains what is going on. As everything is being practiced, The Undertaker asks everyone to worry about the storyline aspect of everything. Jasper Troy has the feeling that everything needs to be perfect for this to go well, and Anthony Luke says that his team cannot afford to lose any opportunity for more points.

Elijah Holyfield and Shiloh Hill beat Anthony Luke and Jasper Troy after Jasper inadvertently hits Luke with a splash. After the match, The Undertaker and Booker T are proud of their respective teams, and The Undertaker says that this is the first time in the competition where he saw everyone in the match excel, and calls it the best match of the season.

Before the next match, Bayley hopes to show off a new finishing move that she learned a few days ago. Meanwhile, Tatyanna finds getting ready for the match a bit of a pain and finds Tyra Mae difficult to work with. Zena says Tyra Mae has more experience and that Tatyanna has difficulty expressing her opinion, and that with the amount of time and pressure in setting a match up, sometimes someone with more experience is needed.

Bayley Humphrey and Tyra Mae Steele beat Tatyanna Dumas and Zena Sterling. Bubba Ray and The Undertaker agree that this ladies' tag match was better than the other one. Meanwhile, Tatyanna accuses Tyra Mae of being unsafe, and Tyra Mae says that Tatyanna is one to talk and that she is just trying to help her.

The points are awarded. Shawn Michaels says there was some rough and brutal stuff in the ring this week, and that they turned off the crowd. He wants the Future Greats to have fun, but to him, fun is greatness, winning, and making a lot of money. Sirena says people have become too comfortable, and Shawn says that people have gotten too comfortable and that things need to change. D-Von says that if one does not feel the need to be in the business, one should not be in the business. For the women, he picks Team Bubba Ray, as Tatyanna and Zena were a cohesive unit and showed what it was all about. He picks Team Undertaker for the men's point. Shiloh Hill says he is finally putting things together, and Elijah feels good to contribute to the team and that he needs to show out. Anthony Luke says he is happy for Team Undertaker, but feels he deserved that point, and that Team Booker T needs to be in the lead at the end. At the end, Team Undertaker has six points, Team Booker T has five points, Team Mickie James has three points, and Team Bubba Ray has two points.

Danielson talks about Jon Moxley winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship and his own match at Dynasty with Will Ospreay, then Claudio mentions Don Callis wanting Powerhouse Hobbs and Kyle Fletcher to hurt them. Claudio says it is easier for The Blackpool Combat Club to be beaten than hurt, as people have tried to do this for twenty years and they put in the work to be as good as they are.

She says she did so much on her own, especially getting to where she is in AEW, then wonders what happened to "Timeless" Toni Storm that made her who she is. She also says her body could carry her as much as her passion, but she has another opportunity at Dynasty. She says that at Dynasty, she will not only carry the Women's World Championship, but the pride of her people and the support of her family, and if she has to break every bone in her body to uplift and empower the women's division, so be it. Thunder Rosa says Toni made a mistake messing with her facepaint, then tells her that she cannot kill what is already dead and that she is coming for her and the Women's World title as she drags her soul to Hell.



Backstage, we hear from "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo. She says that if Thunder Rosa does not want her help, that is fine, as she will help herself.

He says that he wants to file a formal complaint and that he wants King Cobra and Assistant Matchmaker Michael out here right now. Blaylock accuses King Cobra of screwing over The Hollywood Clique over and over again and protecting "The GunShow" Brett Michaels. Cobra says all he does is sign the contracts and that whatever is in the ring is not his business, and Blaylock threatens to go over his head as he has pull in the company, and he also puts his hands on King Cobra as he does this.

He then says that time has allowed the course to correct itself, and that he is in control of NXT until he says so.

Cage is in Dario Cueto's office with Taya and Johnny Mundo. Johnny Mundo figures it out quickly that Cueto wants them to be a team in the Trios Tag Tournament.

Dario Cueto talks to Matanza Cueto in his cage. He says Mil Muertes will not be so easy to break, but it can be done.
