Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 13, 2026

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar head to the ring to start tonight's show. Five police officers show up to stand between the ramp and ringside in case Oba Femi shows up. Heyman says he has gotten the police involved because of Oba Femi, who he says turned down a guaranteed title match against either world champion because he is obsessed with Lesnar.He goes on to call Oba Femi "a stalker" and "the biggest dummy [he has] ever seen in his entire life," and while he is used to people being obsessed with Lesnar only to get hit and not be as obsessed, but now, Lesnar is now obsessed with Oba Femi. Heyman says that this scares him half to death and that Lesnar mentions it whenever he calls him, then says that he wants to protect his money, as that is what an advocate does, and has asked for a no-contact clause for the SummerSlam match. He then announces that he has went to a local judge and has gotten a restraining order on both Lesnar and Oba. He then asks Oba cannot come within 100 feet of Lesnar, and asks that Lesnar abide by his restraining order, for "this Beast is a law-abiding citizen." Oba Femi's entrance hits, and Oba shows up on the stage. The police officers get in the ring and stand in front of Heyman and Lesnar in a line. Oba says he is here for a fight, and demands an explanation for the police officers. Heyman tells Oba that he is in violation of a restraining order, and Heyman and Lesnar leave as an officer tries to arrest Oba. That officer gets decimated, as does the rest of the officers, then Oba wants to know what games Lesnar and Heyman are playing at and wants to know where "The Beast" is, saying he used to run the place but just runs away. He then tells Heyman that if he went for a title shot at SummerSlam, he and Lesnar would have cost him anyway. Oba says that at SummerSlam, there will be no more games, and Lesnar will not be able to run from him.



We see "Reigns vs. Rollins, Chapter 1," which focuses on Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins' time in The Shield (Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Reigns).

Iyo Sky beats Roxanne Perez after countering a pinfall attempt with a roll-up. After the match, Iyo fends off Liv Morgan, but Roxanne hits Iyo with a chop block. As Roxanne and Raquel Rodriguez gang up on Iyo, Sol Ruca runs into the ring and makes the save. Raquel soon slams Sol Ruca into the barricade and the ring post, and when Iyo Sky gets up and notices that Sol Ruca is down, Liv Morgan runs into the ring and hits Iyo with the Ob-Liv-Ion before smacking her in the face with the Women's World Championship.



The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Maxxine Dupri) head to the ring. Maxxine Dupri is credited by Logan Paul with helping Bron Breakker and Austin Theory win the World Tag Team Championships back, then Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa) suddenly show up. Tozawa asks Maxxine if they can talk, and Maxxine asks the rest of The Vision to leave the ring, which they do. Tozawa asks Maxxine what she is doing, as this is not like her, and says that Theory is all wrong for her. Maxxine says she still loves Alpha Academy, but they gave her a choice, and the crowd chants "You sold out!" Maxxine mentions Alpha Academy telling her that if she was going to be with Theory, she could not be with them, and as Maxxine says that Otis and Tozawa do not know Theory, Otis says that Theory is bad news. Otis says he has known Maxxine for a long time, and that he has to get something off his chest. Theory laughs and finds this funny, as does the rest of The Vision, and takes this as Otis confessing his feelings for Maxxine. Theory implies that Otis is ugly and says the fans cheer him because they are losers like him, then says that people like Otis do not end up with people like Maxxine and that Maxxine is with him now. Theory then mocks Otis' size as he tells Otis to stay away, and Otis tosses Theory into the ring only for a brawl to break out between The Vision and Alpha Academy. Otis soon gets the upper hand and squashes both Breakker and Theory in the corner, then clotheslines Breakker out of the ring. Maxxine has to stand between Otis and Theory and tells Otis they can fix this, and as Maxxine is about to kiss Otis, Theory hits Maxxine with a low blow. Maxxine tells Otis that there is nothing between them, then Theory attacks Tozawa, who soon fights back only to be nearly broken in half with a Spear by Bron Breakker. Maxxine then hands brass knuckles to Austin Theory, who uses the knuckles to punch Otis in the face before holding Otis down for another Bron Breakker Spear. Maxxine and Theory then poses with a boot on Otis' chest.



It is announced that this year's Survivor Series will take place in Houston on Saturday, November 28th, and that tickets will be on sale the morning of Friday, August 7th.

Jimmy Uso vs. Royce Keys - which is started by Jimmy Uso looking for Solo Sikoa only to be attacked by Royce Keys during the commercial break - ends in a no-contest. During the match, Jacob Fatu shows up at the arena and makes his way through the crowd to the ring to attack Royce Keys. After the match, Jacob brings a metal folding chair into the ring and hits Royce with it before wrapping it around Royce's head. All of a sudden, Solo Sikoa shows up to tell Jacob Fatu to stop. Solo tells Jacob that he understands now, saying that he was lost and he left his family, and that he was being stupid. He says he always knew that blood is thicker than water, and that he is coming home to The Bloodline. Solo Sikoa then raises a finger in the air, and Jimmy and Jacob soon join him. His finger then switches to a thumb, and Solo hits Jimmy with the Samoan Spike before brawling with Jacob. Royce Keys fights Jacob Fatu, who sends Royce into a superkick by Jimmy. Jacob then locks the Tongan Death Grip on Solo before LA Knight's entrance hits. LA Knight gets in the ring with a metal folding chair and sends Jimmy sailing over the top rope before hitting Jacob in the back with the chair to no effect. Jacob charges at Knight, and Knight sends him running after hitting him with the chair. LA Knight says he owes both Jimmy and Jacob, and tells them to get in the ring if they still want a piece. He then wants Jimmy and Jacob in this ring along with "Main Event" Jey Uso, as he realizes he does not have to do this by himself. Knight then challenges The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and Jacob Fatu to a six-man tag match against him, Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys at SummerSlam.





Backstage, The Vision (Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, Maxxine Dupri) are met by Paul Heyman, calling their recent actions "a vision for the future," then says that Maxxine Dupri was so magnificent tonight that he then says "What the hell do you need me for?" before walking off.

We see a video package giving a brief look at the 30-year history of Hell in a Cell.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce is met by Oba Femi. Pearce tells Oba Femi that the restraining order and police officers from earlier were all fake and mind games. Oba Femi says that Heyman and Brock Lesnar are scared, and that they will be even more scared at Hell in a Cell.

Bayley is in the ring, and she asks Lyra Valkyria to join her, which Lyra does. Lyra's appearance looks somewhat disheveled with her shirt torn as she enters the ring. Bayley then hands Lyra a microphone. Bayley says that they could be honest with each other and hopefully apologize, but Lyra says Bayley should be the one apologizing to her for holding her back for a year. It becomes obvious Lyra is not even wearing make-up. She says that Bayley stabs people in the back and that she has also been stabbed in the back, yet she does not make it her entire personality. Lyra says that she lied about everything she made her feel better, and tells her that she is a doormat. She says that she does not belong on the posters, that she is not a locker room leader, and that she is "the worst of the Four Horsewomen." Bayley says she knew this was a mistake, and that Lyra is not as special as she thinks she is. Bayley lists off her accomplishments before telling Lyra she will add to it by beating her ass at Saturday Night's Main Event. Lyra goes for a cheap shot, starting a brawl. Lyra then hits a Bayley-to-Belly to lay Bayley out.



We see "Reigns vs. Rollins, Chapter 2," which mentions the break-up of The Shield (Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns) and the immediate aftermath.

We see a vignette where it is revealed that a man who looks like Big Cass is coming back to WWE on August 3rd.

Chad Gable beats Joe Hendry, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, Je'Von Evans, Rusev and "All Ego" Ethan Page in an WWE Intercontinental Championship #1 contender's Gauntlet Match. Dominik Mysterio is eliminated after Danhausen shows up as Dominik is about to eliminate Je'Von Evans. Danhausen curses Dominik, yet the pyro comes out at the wrong ring post. As JD McDonagh confronts Danhausen, Je'Von Evans hits the OG Cutter on Dominik to eliminate him. Dragon Lee is eliminated following a counter into a roll-up by Je'Von Evans. After the match, both men show respect, then Rusev shows up from behind Je'Von and shoves Je'Von into Dragon Lee. Je'Von Evans is eliminated by Rusev by submission following three Accolade attempts. Rusev is eliminated following a Victory Roll by Chad Gable, and Rusev puts Gable in the Accolade afterwards until "All Ego" Ethan Page arrives. Gable beats Ethan Page and wins the match and the title shot by submission with an ankle lock after catching Ethan out of the air and keeping Ethan away from the ropes. After the match, Penta meets Gable in the middle of the ring, and both men shake hands.













Roman Reigns arrives at the arena before the next commercial break.

General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring to oversee the contract signing for Seth "Freakin'" Rollins vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. Reigns is introduced first, followed by Rollins. Rollins is not traditionally introduced, however; he shows up almost as soon as Reigns is seated and signs the contract as soon as he takes his place at the signing table. Rollins says that some things are certain in life: death, taxes and Rollins beating Reigns every single time. He then tells Reigns to sign on the dotted line and get it over with. Reigns says that he listened to what Rollins had to say last week and that Rollins proved he is "The Tribal Chief's #1 hater," which leads to a "He's a hater" chant. He then says that Rollins is sitting there laughing about it when it is the only thing he is number one at, as Rollins has everyone believing the both of them are at the same level, which could not be any further from the truth. Reigns says that at SummerSlam, he will beat Rollins and show what number one really looks like, then signs the contract. Rollins hands the contract to Pearce and owes Reigns a debt of gratitude for keeping the World Heavyweight Championship warm for him until SummerSlam, then says he will see Reigns the next time he decides to show up for work. As Rollins leaves, Reigns asks Rollins where he is going and asks Rollins what will happen if he beats him at SummerSlam. He asks Rollins if he is going to carry the World Heavyweight Championship for a couple of months and get hurt again, as that happens every time. Reigns says that some would say it is self-sabotage, as some men cannot handle the weight and the pressure of being the top guy. This causes Rollins to head back to the ring and confront Reigns, who pokes at him. Rollins dares Reigns to say what he has to say and not to hold back, and Reigns says he will say it because everyone thinks it. He says that Rollins is still number two because after all these years, he still needs a Money in the Bank briefcase to become champion. He also says that Rollins had to fake an injury just to use it, and says that if there is ever a time to be Rollins to be number one, it is now, as Paul "Triple H" Levesque is "running the joint." Reigns says that WWE gave Rollins "all [his] stuff" and Rollins is still number two, and that Rollins will always be number two while he will always be number one. Rollins asks Reigns "Is that all you've got?" and are dares Reigns to tell him how he will never be as good as he is, and that anything Reigns want to tell him, he has told himself for the last fifteen years. He says that they are not fighting the same fight and that he has had to look in the mirror and be proud of what he fights for. Rollins then says he is glad he is not Reigns before punching him in the face and attacking him. Reigns stirs as Rollins leaves the ring, and Rollins notices this and goes for The Stomp only for Reigns to get back up and hit the Superman Punch. Reigns goes for a powerbomb through the table, but Rollins hits Reigns in the head with a microphone, hits Reigns with a Pedigree, then The Stomp.

Shawn Michaels meets with the Legends and Future Greats. This week's challenge is to find one's inner heel or babyface. Charlotte Flair is announced as this week's guest judge. She decides to be real with them by saying that not even half of them will make it, then wants everyone to show who they are without telling her who they are.

Tatyanna is paired with Zena. Sirena is paired with Haze.

The points are awarded. Charlotte gives the women's point to Sirena for bringing the energy as a heel, but notes that Zena had some great babyface moments.

Team Booker has three points, Team Undertaker has two points, Team Bubba has one point, and Team McCool still has no points. For the Future Greats, Harlem Lewis, Elijah Holyfield and Shiloh Hill are tied with one point apiece, while Sirena Linton has two points and Dani Sekelsky has one point.

He then announces that Juice Robinson is officially a trios champion. Juice says he should have been anointed by AEW, but now they are forced to do so, and now he, Austin and Colten are three-fourths of the AEW Unified Trios Champions and they will be champions for a long time. Interim EVP Christopher Daniels shows up and says a substitute cannot stand in for Jay White and announces that The Bang Bang Gang are being stripped of the Unified Trios Championships. All of a sudden, The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Killswitch, Mama Wayne) shows up, and Christian Cage says that Christopher Daniels made the right call, then demands Christopher make them the trios champions. Daniels says Tony Khan will like that, but he says Tony Khan will like a match between The Bang Bang Club and The Patriarchy for the titles. Austin proposes they do this right here, right now, but Christian Cage says the fans want this because the Calgary Flames cannot win a championship, and tells The Bang Bang Gang that The Patriarchy will see them down the road.

He says it is a free country and the fans can chant whatever the want, but "Stripper Kenny" will hurt Kenny King's feelings and the fans should only chant that if they are okay with it, which the fans continue to do. He then says that the other two words to chant are "We Believe" before introducing Yuya Uemura.

He says that unlike his opponents in the Ultimate X Match, he is "more than a guy" and "more than a guy," he is "a celestial," and at Slammiversary, he will make his mark and X will mark the spot.

The open challenge is answered by Jody Threat.

All of a sudden, Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly run into the ring and attack The Coven, then Trinity shows up and takes part in the fracas. Security rush in and surround the ring to restore order, and Deonna unintentionally backs into Trinity. Both women look at the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts World Championship and try to pick it up, and when both of them do it at the same time, Trinity and Deonna finally go at it until referees quickly break it up.

After Wilde says that Hit Row's (Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Ashante "Thee" Adonis, Top Dolla, B-Fab) cypher offended his ears and Mendoza says that Swerve has no class, Santos then says Dexter Lumis is a loser in love and a loser in the ring, for Santos Escobar always ends up on the right side of history.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 13, 2020

Tonight's show starts with The VIP Lounge. MVP's guest tonight is Dolph Ziggler, whom MVP calls one of the most selfless people that he has ever met and the nicest guy that he knows. Ziggler says that he will turn Drew McIntyre into the same man that he picked up and took underneath his wing when he is done with him on Sunday as he sends him out of the door and takes the WWE Championship, and says that without him, Drew would not be successful. After Ziggler says that McIntyre will turn into another guy asking how for a hand-out, MVP thanks Dolph for all of his selflessness, and Dolph says he will lose the WWE Championship due to a lack of gratitude. McIntyre shows up and says that tonight is about him and Ziggler, and says that after what happened last week, he has come to the conclusion that Ziggler uses people and that they were never friends, with him doing all of Ziggler's dirty work. He goes on to say that while Ziggler is one of the most talented people in the business, he tells Ziggler - who tries to interrupt him - that he will hurt, maim and torture him and make him regret bringing him to Raw, as whatever happens Sunday is on Ziggler. McIntyre then says he needs a little bit of action right now, then sucker punches Ziggler before leaving.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Andrade, Angel Garza and Zelina Vega. Zelina Vega accuses Charly of pushing a false narrative that Andrade and Garza cannot get along and states that they have been on a hot streak as of late and that no man can stand up to them and all the women are beneath her. Garza says they can beat The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) before handing Charly a rose, and Andrade says that if Garza has his back, he has Garza's. Suddenly, The Viking Raiders show up. Erik says that the Raiders have been dominant for the past year, and that Andrade and Garza have dishonored their competition and their friends in The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), and tonight, they run through them. Ivar hands Garza's rose to Charly, much to Garza's chagrin.

Andrade and Angel Garza beat The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) in an elimination tag team match.

Backstage, R-Truth congratulates Ricochet for being Raw MVP, but Ricochet says he is wrestling Bobby Lashley with MVP tonight. Cedric Alexander reminds R-Truth that he has a match with Randy Orton, but R-Truth says he was challenged by "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Cedric tells R-Truth that Ric Flair challenged him on Orton's behalf, but after figuring that out, he leaves, then meets Tozawa and asks him to help him become a black belt in ten minutes. He refuses, then tries to pin R-Truth for the 24/7 title. R-Truth kicks out. Tozawa summons his ninjas, and Cedric and Ricochet stand alongside R-Truth. R-Truth settles this by challenging Tozawa to a match for the 24/7 title in the ring right now.

Before the next match, "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler shows up. Tozawa sics his ninjas on her, but Baszler finishes them off in seconds. Tozawa leaves the ring, then Baszler shifts her attention to R-Truth. R-Truth says "I'll let myself out," then leaves the ring. Baszler says she has been so patient and allowed everyone to have their fun, but she is done. She says all these "weak-minded Women's Champions" are running around fooling themselves into thinking they are in control. She says that she is here to shatter the illusion that her history of violence is a distant memory with a harsh dose of reality, and she is that reality.



Backstage, Seth Rollins asks Murphy what is troubling him. Murphy asks Rollins if he and Rey Mysterio are going to willfully blind each other, but Rollins says nothing of significance does not happen without sacrifice, and that Rey asked for this. He asks Murphy to stay backstage and focus on his match with Aleister Black, as he has a message to deliver.

Seth Rollins shows up. Rollins says he knows what "an eye for an eye" means, and says that he thought Rey used it as a metaphor for revenge. However, he has come to understand that Rey meant it literally, and he is trying to comprehend how they got to this point. Rollins says he wants to lead Raw into a brighter future, and Rey has resisted every step of the way to the point that they are in a match where the only way to win is to pluck the other's eyeball from its socket. Rollins says that there has never been such a match sanctioned with a stipulation so sadistic and barbaric, and says that he never meant to harm Rey, as Rey presented himself in a time of need and he fulfilled the prophecy. He says this prophecy was handed down by the fans, who have asked him to lead the way for Raw. He says that Extreme Rules will be the horror show it is advertised to be, as Rey has forced his hand and forced him to tear his eye out and leave him completely blind. He says that Sunday will be the end of Rey Mysterio, but also a new beginning for Raw. Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up. Owens says that he expected Rey to pick a more traditional match last week, and as disturbed as he is by the "eye for an eye" stipulation, he finds it more disturbing that a "scumbag" like Rollins took a respectable legend to the point that he wants to gouge his eyes out. Owens says he knows where Rey is coming from, as he wanted to end his own career at WrestleMania if it meant shutting Rollins up. He then says he has a eye patch for him from his friend Jean-Pierre LaFitte. Rollins sics Murphy on Owens, but Aleister Black runs in. Aleister attacks Murphy, starting a brawl on the ramp.

Kevin Owens beats Seth Rollins after Rollins blinds Owens and Rey Mysterio, Dominick and Aleister Black all distract Rollins from the ring apron. After the match, Rey says that Rollins tried to end his career, terrorized his family, put his hands on his son and crossed every line there is to cross, and on Sunday, he will make a sacrifice of his own and tear Seth's eye out.



Backstage, Big Show talks with "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Flair says that when he looks back on the big men he has wrestled, Big Show has the most skill and athletics and has done it all. Flair then tells Big Show that he is picking a fight that he cannot win, as he has been out of the business for so long, and says that he should leave healthy while he can, as Randy Orton is at the top of the business right now. Big Show tells Flair that he knows what he is doing, and that he has never seen Orton like he is now. He says that Orton has no empathy, and asks Flair if he is willing to sacrifice his friendships so that Orton can become a legend killer.

Backstage, Randy Orton says it is lucky if you exit the industry with a handful of friends you made while in it. Orton says he had that handful of friends, and says that Edge could not trust him. Orton says he sent Edge back home, then Christian showed up to defend him. Orton says there is nothing wrong with defending, but Christian accepted his offer for one more unsanctioned match. As for Big Show, they have history together, which baffles him as to why he would risk his friendship with him. Orton then calls "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair family, and says it would be a shame if Flair did anything to jeopardize their friendship. As for R-Truth, he has all his respect, which will make it a shame when he is just another chapter for the legend killer.

Before the next match, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair shows up to congratulate R-Truth on his career, then says that Randy Orton will not punt him tonight and will just RKO him because he likes R-Truth much like he does.

Randy Orton quickly beats R-Truth.



After the match, Flair tries to stop Orton from hitting R-Truth with the punt, but Big Show shows up. Orton threatens to punt R-Truth's head and finish his career if Big Show takes another step. He says punting Edge and Christian hurt him more than it hurt him, then says he was saving his punt for Big Show. He then challenges Big Show to finish what they started in an unsanctioned match next week, and Big Show gladly accepts, chasing Orton out of the ring.

Backstage, MVP and Bobby Lashley meet with Cedric Alexander and Ricochet. Cedric tells MVP that he is not interested, then he and Ricochet leave. Sarah Schreiber then interviews MVP, who says that his victory against Apollo Crews is a foregone conclusion and that he and Lashley will celebrate after Sunday. Lashley says that tonight, Ricochet will be nursing injuries or worse courtesy of "the hurt business." Sarah Schreiber then finds Drew McIntyre backstage. Drew McIntyre says he was giving Dolph Ziggler a chance by letting him pick the stipulation, then he is attacked by Ziggler. Officials have to separate both men.



Lashley beats Ricochet with the full nelson. After the match, Cedric Alexander tries to make the save, but he also falls victim to the full nelson.



Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Big Show, who makes it clear that he has accepted Randy Orton's challenge to an unsanctioned match.

He says that they fought and scrapped together and became one of the best tag teams in ROH history, and that Rhett Titus has "the body of a god and the heart of a bitch." He says that he would tear up his contract right now, then brings up his family, saying that his future son would see him as a coward and that his wife is disappointed in him. Rhett Titus gets mad, and when Kenny King dares Rhett Titus to hit him, Rhett Titus walks away, and Kenny King says the Rhett Titus he knew was a man, but now he is "a punk-ass bitch."

We hear from Kelly Klein, who says that ROH has some of the best women's wrestling in the world, and she loves it. She says that if Maria Manic wanted her attention, she's got it, for she will take on all comers and defend her title.

We see a video package where Alex Shelley surprisingly shows up as Matt Taven and Jay Lethal are in the ring, where he tells Matt Taven to respect what he has done for pro wrestling before proclaiming that he still has talent on loan from God.
