Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 23, 2026

As Michael Cole and Corey Graves talk about the tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Gunther comes out of the concourse and the crowd to interrupt the start of tonight's show, and tells them to leave the ring, go back to the announce table and mention how great he is. He says that the fans are losers and that losers like losers Bill Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles, all of whom he brags about retiring, and says this should be a celebration of the greatest in-ring wrestler today: himself. Gunther talks over General Manager Adam Pearce as he shows up and says he know this would happen, then shows up with and demands Gunther leave. Gunther says he will leave disgraced about what is happening tonight, then leaves the ring. Gunther then turns around to bring more attention to himself as he is about to head to the back, and he is attacked from behind by Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee is soon held back, and Gunther is forced out of the building. Dragon Lee catches back up to Gunther and attacks him some more, and all of the security guards have to pull Dragon Lee off of Gunther. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes then shows up, pats Pearce on the shoulder, then heads to the ring. Cody is not able to say much when The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) shows up. Theory takes exception to the mistreatment being afforded The Vision and states that he is ashamed to be from Atlanta, Georgia. Logan then states that Cody is not ashamed to be from Atlanta because, like the fans, he has zero common sense. Logan states that when Bronson Reed qualifies for and wins the Elimination Chamber match, The Vision will take over SmackDown as well, and Cody will be the first one out the door. Logan then announces that Bronson's qualifier starts right now, then Cody says somebody would disagree about Bronson winning at the Elimination Chamber. The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) then show up from out of the crowd for the next match.

"Main Event" Jey Uso beats El Grande Americano I and "Big" Bronson Reed in a men's Elimination Chamber qualifier. During the match, Bronson Reed suffers a distal biceps tear. Later on in the show, it is announced that he will be out indefinitely.

We look back on "The Phenomenal One" AJ Styles' WWE debut in the 2016 Royal Rumble.

CM Punk shows up to the arena with Tyler Reddick, who does donuts in his race car before the two of them leave the vehicle.

Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio head to the ring. Dominik announces that Liv Morgan is about to make her decision regarding her WrestleMania opponent, and asks both Stephanie Vaquer and Jade Cargill to come to the ring so Liv can make her decision face to face. Vaquer arrives to the ring first, followed by Cargill, and Liv says both of them have been patiently waiting for her decision and that she has decided. She admits that Vaquer's words from last week caught her by surprise and that she has thought about them, and says that Vaquer is right and that she has not realized how selfish and privileged she was with ten years of the best of everything. She admits she still thought she was struggling and that she did not know Vaquer's story, and that Vaquer is the champion she is because she is because of her story. Liv then says she must focus on her own story. Liv then looks at Cargill, then turns around and hits Vaquer with a cheap shot followed by a ground and pound. Liv then hits a lungblower in the corner followed by the Ob-Liv-Ion on Vaquer. She then raises up the Women's World Championship.

Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Je'Von Evans. Je'Von looks in the distance and notices Offset in the distance. Offset says he is looking forward to the men's Elimination Chamber match, then The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and Grayson Waller show up. Xavier Woods - whose arm is in a sling - is not happy that he does not have a tribute show tonight and is giving Je'Von his flowers, and Kofi says he has been trying to invite Offset for years. Offset tells The New Day they suck, and Je'Von takes this as The New Day wanting a fight. Kofi tells Je'Von to lace up his boots, because he can never lace up his.

The Good Brothers (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) are seen backstage with "Michin" Mia Yim, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.

Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez tells Liv Morgan and "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio that tonight will be a cakewalk. JD McDonagh apologizes for Finn Balor for being a hothead, and says he just wants Finn to be a world champion. Finn says brothers fight but always make up, and that he will be a world champion. Dominik blames Finn and McDonagh for losing last week, but Finn says he has been preparing for the biggest match of his career and that he held his own instead of blaming others when no one had his back, and tells Dominik he should do the same.

NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick, rapper 2 Chainz and rapper Lil Yachty are all seen in the front row.

General Manager Adam Pearce asks a backstage worker to transport the giant crate to Chicago, Illinois. Rusev meets with Adam Pearce, but he is soon interrupted by Oba Femi. Rusev wants to fight him, but Pearce tells them to save it for another time and place for "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles' sake.

Brock Lesnar and "The Oracle" Paul Heyman head to the ring. Heyman says he is a wiseman and an oracle, but he is also the advocate for Lesnar. He also reminds everyone that Lesnar broke The Undertaker's undefeated streak, and now the only dead man walking is the one that comes down the aisle to face Lesnar. Heyman then says everyone wants to know who will face Lesnar at WrestleMania, and says he has neither a prediction or a spoiler, for when he and Lesnar walk through the locker room, no one was identified as man enough to take an ass kicking of biblical proportions. Heyman then shows us the appearance that Lesnar will make on the road to WrestleMania, and at any time, if any man is willing to go down in history by taking the absolute worst beating at WrestleMania, all they have to do is walk down the aisle and get in Lesnar's face. Heyman then says that he does not think that is going to happen and that nobody will take that challenge, as while everyone can have all the title matches they want, facing Lesnar and getting their ass kicked is the real main event. Heyman then says that nobody has the balls to face Lesnar at WrestleMania.

We hear from Becky Lynch, who dares AJ Lee to compare resumés with her, stating that AJ Lee held the Divas title once and that she did so much more than even CM Punk and took the business to heights that AJ Lee could not ever reach. She says that she has made the Women's Intercontinental Championship the most talked about title in WWE, and that she wants to retire AJ Lee in front of her fans, friends and family in Chicago, Illinois and make her "the least talented AJ to retire this year." Becky brags about how everyone claims she is the best, and on Saturday, she proves it.

Je'Von Evans is accompanied by Offset for the next match.

Je'Von Evans beats Kofi Kingston after Offset tosses Grayson Waller over the announce table and distracts Kofi long enough for Je'Von to hit the OG Cutter for the win.

We see tributes to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles from WWE Superstars.

Frankie Kazarian and Abyss are backstage for tonight's tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles.

We hear from Finn Balor, who says that CM Punk is not the only one with people mad at him and that he has to prove to so many people that he can become a world champion. He says one can learn from a win and even more from a defeat, and when he lost to Punk in Belfast, Northern Ireland, he had to change his mindset in order to become a world champion.

Dwight Howard, Jermaine Dupri, Funny Marco and Bow Wow are seen in the front row.

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk says he is here to celebrate "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and that the fans can go ahead and chant Styles' name, and while he is keeping things quick so that Styles can speak to the fans, he has something to get off his chest. He talks about how risky it is to be a fighting champion and how he is doing the best he can to give the fans the fighting champion that they deserve, and that he does not deal in "what ifs." He asks "What if Roman Reigns was here tonight?" before stating that "what ifs" are not rooted in reality and that Roman is not here tonight. He ponders what would happen if Finn Balor beat him, then says Roman will be here next week. He ponders what would happen if he punched Roman in his face next week, then says he deals in facts, not in "what ifs," and that he will let Finn Balor and Roman Reigns ask "What if?" before stating that he is the champion, the main event of WrestleMania and the best in the world.

Petey Williams, Jeremy Borash and Omos are backstage for tonight's tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles.

We see a video package and tribute to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles chronicling Styles' career.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles heads to the ring. Styles states that he is very grateful for this night before talking about where he has wrestled and who he has faced throughout his career, going from TNA to Japan, and says that he has yet to be a full-time father and has missed important times in his family's lives. He considers "his biggest flex" having the best wife in the world and thanks his wife and kids for being here tonight, and admits that while things did not go as expected against Gunther at Royal Rumble, not many people get to go out where they started. On the subject of not leaving his gloves in the ring, he says that he is a man of his word and that his word is all he has before leaving his jacket in the middle of the ring and stating that he wanted to leave his gloves at home. Styles leaves his gloves on top of his jacket, then says he would have been nothing for the fans. He thanks the fans for the love, and states that he loves them right back. The locker room empties to thank Styles from the stage, then The Undertaker's gong sounds and the lights go out. The lights come back on when the headlights of The Undertaker's motorcycle light up, and The Undertaker heads to the ring. The Undertaker looks at Styles' jacket and gloves, then asks "You're just gonna leave your stuff here and leave?" He then says they have unfinished business and asks Styles if he has heard the phrase "If you see me coming, you're already gone." The Undertaker says he has changed that saying a little bit, and says that if Styles sees him coming, that means he is going, and says it is his esteemed honor to announced that Styles is the newest inductee into the 2026 Class of the WWE Hall of Fame. Styles celebrates the news with his family in the ring to end the show.

Tatyanna Dumas gets Bubba Ray Dudley. Dana Sekelsky gets Mickie James. Bayley Humphrey gets The Undertaker. Sirena Linton gets Mickie James. Brayden "BJ" Ray gets Bubba Ray Dudley, much to Brayden's delight. Elijah Holyfield gets The Undertaker. Bubba Ray feels Brayden "BJ" Ray has more potential and personality than anyone else here, but he does not like his "shit" attitude. Meanwhile, Elijah looks forward to working with one of the best ever in The Undertaker. The Legends like the teams that they have been given. Afterwards, the Legends give the Future Greats on their teams a few pointers. We get a closer look at Tatyanna Dumas, a former basketball player who previously worked on Australian Gladiators. When Bubba Ray gives Tatyanna an earful about her positioning during a headlock, Tatyanna gets into her own head.

The next day during morning workouts, Bubba Ray Dudley tells Zena that she has a commanding personality and that she needs to get the spotlight to come to her. We also get a closer look at Zena, who has done marathons and ironmans prior to coming to WWE. The Future Greats meet with Shawn Michaels, and eight of them will be in matches today. Brayden tries to get in one of these matches by talking with Bubba Ray and wanting to wrestle first, and Bubba Ray's team has a promo-off to see who Bubba will actually pick, and Bradley is not impressed.

The Legends pick who will be in the four upcoming matches. Tatyanna Dumas is paired up with Leigh Laurel, Jasper Troy is paired up with Chris Island, Shiloh Hill is paired up with Troy Yearwood, and Zena Sterling is paired up with Penina Tuialepa. We get a closer look at Jasper Troy, who credits his baby daughter for becoming a better man. Yearwood and Shiloh mouth off against each other to the point that Shiloh shoves Yearwood, which The Undertaker and Mickie James like. Afterwards, Bubba Ray Dudley tells Brayden that he does not like his attitude or the fact that he as a "perma-smirk" on his face. Booker T and Bubba Ray give Penina and Zena advice before their match.

Zena Sterling beats Penina Tuialepa with a schoolkid pin. Penina mentions that she loves being the heel in her match. Zena admits Penina is a little intimidating, and knows that she has to let loose and do what she has to do. Both Penina and Zena are praised for their personalities, and the Legends want a little more aggressiveness out of Penina. Bubba Ray congratules Zena on a job well done. Performance Center coach Terry Taylor tells Chris Island to let emotion come out of him in the ring. Booker T tells Jasper Troy not to forsake the fans.

Chris Island beats Jasper Troy. Jasper Troy is praised over Chris Island, who is told that he needs to improve so as not to make it look as if anyone is "leading" the match. Undertaker and Mickie James tell Shiloh and Yearwood to bring out the aggression from earlier in their match.

Troy Yearwood beats Shiloh Hill. Both men are praised for their athletics and how they handled the match by The Undertaker, and Booker T tells them both that they need to work on the small things. Bubba Ray commends Shiloh for hitting a clothesline that popped enough to make him stand to attention.

We get a closer look at Leigh Laurel, who made waves in powerlifting and cosplay before entering professional wrestling. Booker T tells Leigh that she is the star in the ring and to have a star presence. Meanwhile, Bubba Ray tells Tatyanna - who is in her first match ever - to wrestle to the best of her ability and not to get into her own head.

Leigh Laurel beats Tatyanna Dumas by reversing an inside cradle with one of her own. Leigh gives Tatyanna Dumas for giving it their all in this match, and Tatyanna feels that she had a great first match, as did The Undertaker, who commends both Leigh and Tatyanna for having a great match, and praises Tatyanna for her confidence in the ring. Mickie praises Leigh for leading Tatyanna through the match. Bully Ray praises Leigh and Tatyanna for getting the crowd to pop for the opening lock-up. Tatyanna realizes the power of correcting her own mistakes, as it is nowhere but up from here.

The Legends pick who stood out to them, with Shawn Michaels acting as the tie-breaker. Jasper and Yearwood get two points apiece from the Legends, and Shawn Michaels picks Troy over Jasper due to his star power. Leigh is picked over Tatyanna despite Tatyanna's best efforts. Team Booker T and Team Mickie James both get one point. Bubba Ray says he knows what he has in Bradley, while Bradley is like "I told you so" to Bubba Ray. Meanwhile, Mickie James is liking her chances of winning, while The Undertaker says that he has to win and that there is no playing for second place with him.

He says that he even went to professional cooking school for a year to train to be a chef and worked in a kitchen for less than six months due to low pay and most jobs being on the weekend when he was wrestling. He learned from his cooking training how to cook something that fit the nutrition profile for professional wrestling while also being fun and delicious. Bailey talks about a time where he was obsessed with cooking with a slow cooker and ended up with a pulled pork brie grilled cheese recipe that he was never able to recreate. He also talks about he has created a "salad system" where he makes a whole load of nutritious, healthy salad that act as building blocks towards healthy meals.

He says that Eric Young wants to fight him, and that Director of Authority Santino Marella wanted to make the match. He says "That doesn't work for me, brother," as that he is not in the business of having meanlingless matches and needs to be in the world title match and that Santino needs a main event for Sacrifice, hence why his match with Eric Young is for #1 contendership. He says he should have been in the world title match a year ago when he returned and saved TNA, and that Eric Young will get his shot if he wins, which Kazarian says is not happening. Kazarian says that tonight, he will take his first step, for he is the king of TNA, and if anyone does not like it, they have his permission to hate him now.

Swann is surprised by him saying that, saying he still has it in him and that it took everything to get to where he is now. Swann tells Alexander that he hopes he knows that he is coming into a fight, as he is expecting a fight from Alexander over the Impact World Championship, as it has been two years since he has had a title opportunity. He says he will bust his ass, and when he wins, it will not be because Alexander took his eye off the ball, but because he has it in him.

Kyle O'Reilly last eliminates Matt Jackson as Matt Jackson eliminates John Silver to win the tag team battle royal to make ReDragon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) the new #1 contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus and Christian Cage watch the match from the stage at the start of the show. After the match, ReDragon and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) argue only for "Hangman" Adam Page to get in the ring and right ReDragon. The Young Bucks stand there and watch Page beat them up before leaving, then Adam Cole gets in the ring. Adam Cole tries to superkick Page, but Page fights him off. The Elite and ReDragon help Cole out of the ring before Page can hit the Buckshot Lariat, then John Silver takes both teams out and throws O'Reilly into the ring so that Page can hit the Buckshot Lariat. Page recalls Adam Cole's story of how he became world champion everywhere he went, then says that Cole joined The Elite when he saw the writing on the wall and his world crumbling around him. He says that Adam Cole kept his eye on the AEW World Championship never realizing he was moving closer to a six-foot hole in the ground and fell into the grave so he could lay him down in it at Revolution.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Bryan Danielson, who says Daniel Garcia reminds him of a younger version of himself, yet hangs out with 2point0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee) and would be at a much different level if he hung out with him or Jon Moxley. On the subject of Jon Moxley, he will give him his answer tonight.

MJF heads to the ring. MJF says he used to love CM Punk and that while he gets why people are booing him, then mentions the photograph of him with Punk from years ago and says that professional wrestling got him out of a tough time and that photo meant everything to him. He talks about his litany of learning disabilities such as severe attention deficit disorder that made school hell for him, then mentions that he was good at sports and how he made the school football team only to not be accepted by his teammates. MJF then mentions one time when he walked down the hallway at school and his teammates threw rolls of quarters at him and said, "Pick it up, Jew boy, pick it up." He then mentions the autograph signing on that Friday where he met CM Punk. MJF says that he promised himself that he would be like his hero CM Punk and become the best in the world. He then talks about how later in life, he still wanted to be a professional wrestler. He mentions that CM Punk left the fans - and especially him - and him when he needed him most, and he ended up killing his dreams and going to college until he saw a picture of CM Punk shaking hands with Bryan Danielson on the Internet. MJF says he was livid and promised that he would become the best in the world in spite of CM Punk and that he would not leave someone who was just like him in high school like Punk did. He then says that Punk can do whatever he wants to him at Revolution, but he will not quit, for if he quits, he will be no better than CM Punk. Punk shows up and asks "Is it true? Is it real?" MJF says "It's true." A tear falls down MJF's cheek as he leaves.

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews 2point0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee) and Daniel Garcia. Jeff Parker and Matt Lee are angry with Bryan Danielson wanting to be Garcia's mentor and say he will get a taste of violence tonight, and Garcia says violence is the one thing he does not need to learn.

The Death Triangle (PAC and Penta Oscura) beat The Kings of the Black Throne (Malakai Black and Brody King) after Penta Oscura stops Malakai Black from spitting his black mist by covering his mouth. (Penta Oscura is a darker version of Penta el Zero Miedo, similar to Pentagon Dark from Lucha Underground.) After the match, Brody King attacks The Death Triangle as Malakai Black chokes on his own black mist. Malakai grabs a shovel and gets the taste of his own mist out of his mouth. As he is about to hit Penta with the shovel, the lights go out. When they come back on Buddy Matthews - formerly Buddy Murphy in WWE - is in the ring. Malakai Black is spooked as soon as he seeds Buddy Matthews, then Buddy Matthews attacks PAC and Penta. Brody King levels the security detail as they run down the ramp. Brody King then throws a chair into the ring, and Buddy holds Penta down before stomping Penta face-first into the chair at the behest of Malakai. Buddy then stands side by side with the Kings of the Black Throne. The lights go out, and when they come back on, they are gone.

We see a video package for the contract signing for Thunder Rosa vs. Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. for the AEW Women's World Championship at Revolution on Rampage.

Eddie Kingston heads to the ring, followed by Chris Jericho moments later. Four security guards also stand in the ring. Kingston admits he does not like Jericho and is amazed security is in the ring, but Jericho says they are here so they can talk and not fight like common street thugs. Kingston says that since Jericho does not want to fight him, he would rather have Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale square off in the ring right now. He also says AEW is a wrestling company, not a sports entertainment company like the one down the block. Jericho says that when he heard about Eddie Kingston was coming to AEW, everybody was excited except for him, as he did not know who Eddie Kingston was, saying Kingston looked like "a jobber." After seeing him in action, however, he saw how good Eddie Kingston was and raved about him a few days later. Jericho then mentions Kingston signing to AEW, but says he did not give a shit about him or his "sob story" because Kingston was jealous of him. He says that Kingston hit the big time at 38 years old, and Jericho says that when he was at that age, he had been in the big time for years and did just about everything. He also says Kingston is jealous because he will never accomplish everything he did. Kingston says Jericho did all that he did because he was not there, and says that he is a different king of person and does not leech off people or suck up to the promoters, preferring to do things his way. Kingston says his blood is too tough for Jericho and that his heart does not pump Kool-Aid, and says he would rather fight him at Revolution than talk to him. Jericho says Kingston fears success and is terrified to make it to the top because he knows he would fall to the other side, because his uncle and father were both his heroes but became failures. He also says Kingston cannot win "the big one." Jericho then says he is "the big one" in AEW, and if Kingston wants a match with him at Revolution, he has got it. He then says that if Kingston manages to beat him then, he will look him in the eye, shake his hand, and tell him he has his respect. Kingston warns Jericho not to give him the Jericho in "the mimosa match" or the Jericho that got pushed off a cage in MJF, and tells him to give him the trailblazing Jericho that turned World Championship Wrestling upside-down and Paul Levesque hated, or he will eat him alive. Jericho says he will get that and so much more, then says that Kingston does not believe he can beat him and win the big one and that he is nothing more than a loser and always will be.

Backstage, Matt Hardy talks with Andrade el Idolo. Andrade says he does not need anybody in his corner to win, but he will win and have his back. Matt then proposes that Andrade and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) take on Sting, Sammy Guevara and Darby Allin at Revolution.

After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Jade Cargill, who takes the microphone and asks "Who's next?" and "Who's left?" Suddenly, Tay Conti shows up.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Keith Lee, who says that he is familiar with Ricky Starks.

After the match, Bryan Danielson says he got what he wanted to see out of Daniel Garcia, then 2point0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee) attack him from behind. Suddenly, Jon Moxley shows up and clotheslines them out of the ring. Garcia tries to hit Moxley from behind with a chair, but Moxley levels him with the Paradigm Shift before staring down Danielson. Danielson then takes the microphone and says that he does not need a chair to make anybody bleed, and if Moxley wants a match with him at Revolution, he has it. He then tells him not to be surprised if he is the only person bleeding.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for February 23, 2016

Brie and Nikki do a selfie over an air vent in the floor at a historic hotel. Nikki says she won't be with John Cena on the Today show and won't be able to fly there in time, so she's heading home. Brie tells her she's staying with mom since she's worn out her welcome at her place, but Nikki says her mom lives too far from every place she has to go to. Brie explains that Nikki does not like being alone, especially in the huge house that she shares with John.

Rosa tells Brie and Nikki that her mom will meet his boyfriend Bobby - who is now the father of the child she's expecting - and that she will meet his dad. Her mom doesn't know that Bobby is an atheist, and she is afraid that her mom won't like her. Brie and Nikki tell her not to hide this fact.

Paige and Rosa meet backstage. She finds out there is video of her and Alicia Fox in a bar, and tells Rosa about the experience, where the person doing it was less than courteous. She meets with Alicia, who isn't looking forward to having to deal with the after-effects as they have to tell Carrano.

Nattie and Brie watch the broadcast of tonight's Raw backstage as Seth Rollins knees John Cena in his nose, breaking it. Even Nikki notices that Cena's nose is broken.

Alicia talks to Rosa after what happened with her and Paige. Mark Carrano understood what happened, but Alicia still feels awful and that she should change something about herself.

Nattie brings a gift to Nikki and John Cena's place, and they both have a glass of wine. Nikki tells Nattie that she's very concerned about John Cena, and that she fears losing him.

Paige, Rosa, Mandy and Alicia are riding together. Alicia is still on the lifestyle change kick and doesn't want to get into trouble wherever they're going.

Brie and Nikki are at a red carpet event for WWE 2K16. Nikki is asked about John Cena and the state of the Divas Revolution.

Rosa and Bobby head out to get some dinner and talk about their relationship on the way there. The parents are visiting for the first time, and Rosa isn't worried about not only their religions, but the fact that she can't cook. Rosa asks Bobby to fake being a Christian to please her mom, but Bobby doesn't think it's a good idea, and says that he respect her and her family for their religious beliefs, and that if her mom was a good Christian, she would respect his. When it comes to baptizing baby Jordan, however, it's another story, as doing it goes against all of Bobby's beliefs and not doing it goes against all of Rosa's beliefs.

Paige and Alicia head to a restaurant en route to furniture shopping. Paige, however, is too hung up on eating and drinking, and Alicia thinks Paige isn't taking her wishes seriously.

Rosa baby-proofs her house and hires a chef to cook for her and Bobby so she can pretend she did it all.

Paige and Alicia head to a bingo hall. The old men take a liking to them, and Paige flirts with a few of them. At this point, it's the evening and everything is closed, much to Alicia's chagrin.

Nicole wishes she was taking care of John Cena, and she and Brie meet with Nattie at the hotel. Nikki wants to be in the room with Brie, but Brie wants to be alone and decompress after travel.

Rosa's mom and Bobby's dad show up. Everything goes well, until dinner when Rosa's mom asks Bobby to lead the before-dinner prayer and Bobby comes clean. Rosa has to tell her mom that Bobby is atheist. Thankfully, it doesn't get awkward.

Paige and Alicia head to a bar. Alicia is tired of doing what Paige wants to do, and gets fed up and leaves.

Back at the family dinner with Rosa and Bobby's parents, Rosa's mom brings up the baptism of baby Jordan. Bobby feels awkward and steps out of the room, and Rosa follows him to the back of the house. They come back to the dinner table and put the baptism conversation away. Rosa feels like her mom has written Bobby off, and is afraid that if Jordan doesn't get baptized, it will cause friction. Bobby's father, however, is a lot more understanding.

Nikki barges into Brie's hotel room by pretending to be her, getting a key and getting in to see what she's up to. (In other words, she used Twin Magic.) Brie gets upset and tells her to get out. Nikki's feelings are hurt.

Paige finally catches up to Alicia Fox, but finds out that Alicia isn't in a good mood. Alicia tells Paige she just needs a lifestyle change so she can have a reputation she can fall back on in case she's done with wrestling. Paige says she's not ready to settle down just yet, and apologizes for not being there for her.

Nikki asks Nattie if she can go to her room with. Nattie says yes, and Nikki tells her what's going on. Nattie feels Brie is distressed with what's going on with Bryan. Nikki says that when she's alone, she has nightmares and is afraid she has a fear of loss or even death. Nattie thinks that stuff that happened in her past may be causing this, and Nikki thinks the death of her grandfather may be part of the cause along with John Cena's nose being broken.

Paige makes it up to Alicia by taking her to a taxidermy store - something Alicia is more interested in than Paige - and buys her a skull with horns.

Nattie and Brie meet Dennis Haskins - Mr. Belding from Saved By The Bell - backstage. Nattie then tells Brie she's worried about Nikki, and tells Brie what Nikki told her. Brie doesn't think much of it, but when Nattie says that Nikki's fear is almost debilitating, Brie has the feeling that maybe there is a deeper, underlying

Brie invited Nikki to her house. Nikki tells her that she's always scared of losing people ever since their grandfather died, especially John Cena, and that she feels safe with a family member nearby. Brie, who handled their grandfather's death much differently and putting on a strong face, feels bad and changes her mind about letting Brie stay with her.

Bonus clip: Nikki uses Twin Magic to get a room key to Brie's room.

Bonus clip: Rosa tests her cooking skills.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 23, 2015

Randy Orton shows up to start the show. He's been out of action for four months, and he wants Seth Rollins. When he calls him out, however, Triple H, Kane, Stephanie McMahon and Big Show come out instead. Stephanie tries to kiss up to Orton and tell him that The Authority's hands were tied four months, and wants him to come back to the fold. Orton says he'd rather kick some ass than kiss some ass. Big Show tries to reason with him, saying that joining The Authority was the best decision he ever made in his life, and that it would be the same way for Orton. Stephanie tries to remind Orton that he's not a good guy and never has been, and decides to hold a business meeting in the back to settle things. Everyone walks away when Orton goes silent, but Orton grabs the mic and says he'll be there at the last second.

R-Truth guests on commentary for the next match.

The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) beat The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) in a surprise victory. After the match, The Ascension give the Prime Time Players a beatdown, and Darren Young eats a Fall of Man.

Roman Reigns shows up. He says it's been a hell of a month, but he's going to WrestleMania. All of a sudden, Daniel Bryan shows up. He calls himself the biggest Roman Reigns doubter, and says he felt Roman didn't have half the heart as him, even though he earned the chance at the World Heavyweight title. Daniel Bryan doesn't regret their match last night, as Roman proved him wrong. He congratulates Roman, tells him it would be an honor to tag team with him later tonight, and to kick the crap out of Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. Paul Heyman then shows up, and congratulates Roman, saying it was a hell of a win and a main event. He tells Roman Reigns that he is the guy right now, but tells him he still can't beat Brock Lesnar. Roman Reigns tells Heyman that he's going to destroy Lesnar at WrestleMania.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) win by disqualification, but Tyson Kidd and Cesaro remain WWE Tag Team Champions. The match is over after Natalya pulls one of the Usos' legs off the top turnbuckle...but not before she brawls with Naomi.

Rusev and Lana show up, and Lana rubs the loss in Cena's face, as does Rusev, but Cena is having none of it and says he will beat Rusev at WrestleMania 31 for the United States title. Rusev feels Cena doesn't deserve a rematch, and flat out turns down the challenge.

Randy Orton and Seth Rollins chat backstage. Orton isn't putting the past behind him, but he tells Rollins that he has his back tonight and plans to remind Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns how lucky they were that he wasn't at the Royal Rumble match.

We look back at Sting's career.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) quickly beat Paige and Emma, then beat them to a pulp. (The 30-second match, with only one offensive maneuver in the form of a Bella Buster to Emma, ends up being received so horrendously on Twitter that it starts the #GiveDivasAChance hashtag as well as a slow but steady improvement in Women's Division matches in WWE, who take the hashtag to heart.)

The Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Luke and Bushwhacker Butch) are the newest inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015.
