After entertaining the idea of winning the Royal Rumble a third time, Cody mentions Drew McIntyre's upcoming title defense against Sami Zayn. He also entertains the idea of facing CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship, stating that they have to do it eventually, then says he needs all the belief in the world for the Royal Rumble due to the experience that he has in it. Suddenly, Randy Orton shows up and heads to the ring. Orton tells Cody that he respects everything that he has done for the industry and understands how much it hurt when he lost the WWE Championship, and knows that a desperate Cody Rhodes is dangerous. He then says there is nothing more dangerous than a viper chasing "number fifteen," and tomorrow night, they will not be friends of brothers, and when he gets the chance, he will toss Cody over the top rope without hesitation.

Owens congratulates Nakamura on his Royal Rumble Match victory, then talks about how he and Sami Zayn were screwed out of the WWE Championship. He says they should be standing in the ring as the first co-WWE Champions; instead, AJ won after pinning the wrong guy. Owens says that once again, they are victims of Comissioner Shane McMahon's vendetta machine bent on keeping them down. Sami Zayn says the referee had one job: protecting the integrity of the match at all costs. He says Owens never legally tagged in, but his passion combined with the referee's incompetence cost them the match.

Sami Zayn leaps around saying "Yep," but Nakamura says Styles is the winner, and they are losers. Suddenly, AJ Styles shows up.

They brag about their victory against Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin at Royal Rumble, and says they have swept the tag team division since they showed up. A CGI jail cell door slams shut on the screen as The Usos name every tag team they have "locked down." When they talk about "Day One-Ish," they are not talking about money or merchandise, they are talking being themselves and being true to themselves, and that "Day One" represents the struggle of making it day to day. The Usos pledge to share their struggles together, and says this bond makes them better than the rest of the SmackDown Live tag team division. They then brag about being the best tag team in the division, and dare the rest of the division to "run up...and get done up." Suddenly, The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) show up. Harper and Rowan pay no attention to The Usos as they approach the ring for the next match.

Corbin leaves, and Dillinger tells Shane that sometimes, the truth hurts.

Charlotte Flair shows up, and she is interviewed by Renee Young. Charlotte could not be more proud of all the women in the locker room, and admits she wanted to face the legends at the Royal Rumble Match to see if she could hold her own. She then talks about the sudden arrival of Ronda Rousey into the WWE. All she knows is that she is walking into WrestleMania as SmackDown Women's Champion, but she does not know who will be standing across from her in the ring. Suddenly, The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan) shows up. Ruby Riott asks Charlotte if she hears herself, and says Charlotte's ego is as big as that of her father "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. She says Charlotte would think she would win the Royal Rumble Match and handpick her opponent for WrestleMania, and that she has seen talented people like her who are entitled. Ruby prides herself on being an individual, and says Charlotte is a cheap imitation of her father. She tells Charlotte her time is over, and if it were up to her, she would not even make it to WrestleMania. Charlotte asks if she is done yet. Charlotte throws the first punch at The Riott Squad, punching Ruby Riott, and Charlotte manages to hold her own against the numbers game. She then takes her jacket off and dares them to take her on.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 30, 2017

Jeri-KO (Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens) arrive to start tonight's show. Owens says everyone told him he had no chance of leaving Royal Rumble as Universal Champion, and he proved them all long, and that ever since he came into power, General Manager Mick Foley has had it against him and that last night, he beat Roman Reigns because he is the one. He then thanks Chris Jericho for helping him, even though Braun Strowman did all the real help. Owens then announces that Jericho is the greatest Royal Rumble competitor of all time, and Jericho announces his total cumulative Rumble time is 4 hours, 56 minutes and 12 seconds - more than any other wrestler, even Triple H - and that he lasted almost 61 minutes in the Rumble and the only reason he didn't win was because of the vertigo he suffered in the shark cage. Braun Strowman shows up. Owens says he was about to thank him, but Strowman doesn't want his thanks and says he did what he did because he can't stand Roman Reigns and because he want the title shot Owens promised him. Owens says he doesn't know what he's talking about, but Strowman says he promised him a title shot, and provides footage from last months proving he did. He then demands a title shot tonight, or else he will break him in half right now. Mick Foley shows up, and while he doesn't appreciate what Strowman did last night, he understands why he did it. Owens doesn't want to go through with the title shot tonight after what he went through last night, but Foley makes the match official anyway.

Kevin Owens talks with Commissioner Stephanie McMahon, who tells him that she had no idea that General Manager Mick Foley would put him in a Universal Championship match against Braun Strowman and that she will do what she can to get the match cancelled.

Tony Nese beats Mustafa Ali. After the match, Austin Aries interviews Nese, who says that he doesn't have to answer questions from his critics.

Seth Rollins shows up. He knows that Commissioner Stephanie McMahon is upset with him, and calls her out after telling her to suck it up and that billion dollar princesses don't always get what they want. Stephanie McMahon shows up, and says she's here to disappoint him on multiple levels, which Seth counters with "Is that the same thing you do to your husband every night?" Stephanie says Triple H is not in the building tonight, yet tells Seth that Triple H is afraid of what he might do to him, and that she asked him to stay away from the arena tonight. She says that Seth Rollins has disappointed as of late, and that he should apologize to everybody. Seth Rollins says he apologizes...for exposing Triple H as a gutless snake, and says that Triple H is afraid because he is the biggest threat to his legacy that he has ever seen and that even Stephanie knows it. Stephanie tells Rollins that she looks at him with disgust and that he's not even on his level, but Rollins says he has nothing left to lose, and entertains the idea of invading WWE headquarters or even Triple H and Stephanie's house as he tries to "slay the King." Stephanie then says she lied and that Triple H is on his way to the arena...and he's coming for Seth Rollins.

Cesaro, Sheamus and Bayley beat Charlotte and Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson).

Stephanie promises that Triple H will show up tonight. Foley asks that his promise for tonight's main event be upheld as well.

Neville shows up. He says he is the true king of the Cruiserweights and that the title is his crown. He says he will not be denied on 205 Live, and that he has proved everyone wrong. Suddenly, Rich Swann shows up, not to fight him, but to exercise his rematch clause and tell him that the war between Neville and the fans is all in Neville's head. He offers his hand in a show of respect, but Neville tells him that he should bow down in front of a king. Swann leaves, but Neville tells him not to turn his back on a king and goes onthe attack only for Swann to come out on top.

Sasha Banks is in the trainer's room when Bayley shows up. Sasha says she is getting ready for her match, and even after Bayley tries to talk her out of it after what happened to her knee last night, Sasha has her mind made up and leaves the trainer's room.

In the locker room, Kevin Owens finds out from Chris Jericho that the Universal title match is still on. Owens wants Jericho to have his back, and Jericho says he's got Owens back.
