Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 19, 2021

Drew McIntyre heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Drew McIntyre says opportunity is a hell of a thing, as sometimes you can work for it and sometimes it falls right into your lap. He says he would get his WWE Championship opportunity eventually, which caused Braun Strowman and Randy Orton to show up. This led to a Triple Threat Match where the winner between him, Strowman and Orton would get a WWE Championship opportunity, which he won. McIntyre then mentions Mace and T-Bar attacking him after that match. McIntyre says that MVP is the mastermind behind that attack and that he has more questions than answers, and when he gets his hands on Mace and T-Bar, he will get a little bit of retribution. As McIntyre says he is in the mood for a fight, MVP shows up. MVP finds it weird that McIntyre did not expect him like he did not expect to fall to the Hurt Lock and says he should expect the unexpected, and says Lashley considers him a worthy opponent to put in the Hurt Lock again. He then says that Lashley is the "Chief Hurt Officer" while he is the vice president, and that they "downsized" The Hurt Business. He then asks why he would hire Mace and T-Bar to hurt him, saying they have no affiliation with him and Lashley. After MVP tells McIntyre that he should look in the mirror, McIntyre says this is all one big coincidence, and as he approaches MVP, he is attacked by Mace and T-Bar once again. Afterwards, Kevin Patrick interviews Mace and T-Bar, who both agree on finishing off Drew McIntyre.

Backstage, Drew McIntyre meets with Adam Pearce, who insists that McIntyre needs a tag team partner, but McIntyre would much rather go it alone.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Randy Orton. Orton says The Fiend will never be seen or heard from again as long as he is in WWE, then says Drew McIntyre got lucky at his expense. He says he will wait until WrestleMania Backlash to see who wins, as they will have a target on their back. Backstage, Randy Orton meets with Adam Pearce, wanting a match with Matt Riddle. Pearce says he will see what he can do.

Charlotte Flair heads to the ring. Charlotte says she returned last week demanding respect from the locker room and the fans after all she has done for the industry, and says she came back unapologetically herself. She also says the locker room hates each other as much as they hate her. Charlotte goes on to say a WrestleMania match was taken from her, and says she can beat both Rhea Ripley and Asuka in the same night. She says this is why she is called "the opportunity" and says she will give Asuka an opportunity against her tonight. She admits that while Asuka is talented, it does not mean she has to like her, and that she will prove why she does not like Asuka and why she is the queen. Suddenly, Asuka and Rhea Ripley both show up. Charlotte tells Rhea Ripley to go to the announce table and take some notes, and Rhea says she will take her up on that offer, knowing Asuka will beat Charlotte. Charlotte refuses to let Asuka speak, and Asuka finally gets fed up, yelling "Charlotte! I'm going to beat you, bitch!"

Miz advertises Miz and Mrs. tonight after Raw, then announces that WWE 24/7: The Miz will premiere on Peacock and WWE Network on Sunday. As Miz and Maryse are about to propose a toast, Damian Priest shows up and says Miz is as delusional as Jake Paul thinking he is a real fighter, then replays how The Miz had to get Maryse's help to cheat to win last week. He asks what kind of man would brag about a win like that, and says The Miz got his pants ripped off and proved he had no cojones.

It's time for Alexa's Playground. Alexa Bliss says that her doll Lilly did not come into her life after WrestleMania, and that they have been friends for a very long time. She talks about how they were on a playground once when a girl was mean to her and would not let her eat her ice cream. Alexa then says she "shoved that bitch off the swing" and she fell on her ass and broke her arm. When asked why she did it, she says Lilly made her do it, and that if Lilly doesn't like something, she will be sure to let you know. Alexa then says that Lilly did not like The Fiend and that Lilly does not like the rest of the women's division.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke. Mandy says Nia Jax and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler are the bullies, not them, then Nia Jax chases them out of the room.

As Sheamus issues an open challenge, the open challenge is answered by Humberto Carrillo. Sheamus attacks Carrillo from behind before punishing him at ringside by throwing him into barricades and ring posts.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 15, 2021

It is officially announced that Drew McIntyre will challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

MVP and Bobby Lashley head to the ring to start tonight's show. MVP says that last week, the statement was made that "the Almighty Era has begun" after sixteen years of dedication and decimation when Lashley took the WWE Championship. Lashley says he has proved all the haters, naysayers and doubters wrong when he did what he set out to do, and after destroying Drew McIntyre at Elimination Chamber, he will do it again at WrestleMania before destroying everyone on Raw. The Miz and John Morrison show up, and Miz says that while he should be preparing for Drew McIntyre, he had to show up and say Lashley's speech was truly remarkable before congratulating him, saying he and Morrison are all for the Almighty Era. Miz says he was proud to share the ring with Lashley in the last two weeks, then says he feels their rivalry has just begun and that he wants to face Lashley at WrestleMania. Miz then says he does not want to diminish Lashley's accomplishments, then says he had to defend the WWE Championship in two weeks and was suffering from cramps, and says he was not at 100%. As he asks Lashley if he wants to face him at full strength, Drew McIntyre shows up. McIntyre formally congratulates Lashley on winning the WWE Championship after taking a similar journey to his, but says that when they got to the finish line, he beat 30 men to beat Brock Lesnar in five minutes while Lashley made a deal and screwed him over. MVP tells McIntyre he should be worried about Sheamus before he is worried about Lashley, and as McIntyre says that Lashley can speak for himself, Lashley and Miz tell McIntyre he should be worried about them. McIntyre tells Miz he owes him one, then gives him two options: attack him from behind or run away. He says that if Miz fights him tonight, he will make an example out of him before putting down Sheamus at Fastlane and winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. McIntyre calls Lashley "a big bald bitch" as he says that their match will be "a heavyweight clash for the ages." Lashley takes exception to this as MVP holds him back, and as McIntyre focuses on Miz, Lashley attacks McIntyre from behind. As MVP and Lashley leave, The Miz pounds on McIntyre in the ring. As this goes on, Sheamus attacks Lashley on the stage behind MVP's back, and referees have to force Sheamus to the back while MVP holds Lashley back again.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Sheamus, who says he wants Drew McIntyre at 100% so there are no excuses when he beats him and that Lashley is sticking his nose in his business. He then demands a match with Bobby Lashley so he can show the world who he really is and be the one who can beat Bobby Lashley.

Drew McIntyre beats The Miz with Bobby Lashley's Hurt Lock following the Future Shock DDT and the Claymore Kick to send a message to Bobby Lashley.

Braun Strowman is in the ring. He calls out Shane McMahon, who shows up. Braun says he has been bullied and called stupid all of his life by people like Shane, who says that he would never make fun of another man. Braun says that they both know McMahons do not apologize for anything, and that Shane was scared last week. Braun says that Shane is afraid of what he will do to him and is afraid to ask for a match with him, and Braun says that he wants a match with Shane tonight. Shane tells Braun he wants none of him, and that he now knows that Braun is stupid. Shane continues to call Braun stupid and compares him to the Tyrannosaurus Rex by saying the Tyrannosaurus Rex died because it didn't get smarter, then accepts Braun's challenge to a match tonight.

Kofi asks Omos and Styles if they are registered as and able to work as a tag team, then Woods tells them they have their match.

Suddenly, R-Truth gifts Bad Bunny with Austin 3:16 merchandise. R-Truth then says he wants the WWE 24/7 Championship back. Bad Bunny says he respects R-Truth and the business and that R-Truth deserves it more than him before giving R-Truth the WWE 24/7 Championsip back.

He says that he destroyed The Miz for delaying the inevitable, then says that the same fate awaits anyone who gets in his way and that "The Almighty Era" has begun.

Before the next match, The Miz says he stands in the ring empty-handed, and through John Morrison, he says he expected to get demolished by Bobby Lashley but did not expect to lose the WWE Championship. He says that after years of doing so much in WWE and keeping from being injured, he says he should be believed that he did feel well after having stomach cramps before last week's match. He says that he had the champion's advantage, and admits that while it was shady, it allowed him to outsmart everyone. He also says that having two championship matches in one night is not part of his contract, yet he was forced and physically threatened with title forfeit if he did not. Miz goes on to call Shane McMahon making the second match a lumberjack match adding insult to the injury, and says that Lashley manhandled him and got no repercussions for it.

As he speaks, Miz gives McIntyre no opportunity to speak, and McIntyre has to tell him to shut up and not interrupt him or else he will regret it. Miz interrupts him, and McIntyre makes him regret it with a headbutt.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 23, 2020

Adam Pearce is in the ring with Raw's men's Survivor Series team. After congratulating Drew McIntyre on winning the WWE Championship and The Undertaker on his final farewell, he congratulates the men's team for dominating in their match last night. He states that all five men have an opportunity to state their case as to why they deserve a WWE Championship opportunity. As Sheamus mentions his friendship with McIntyre and calls himself the most valuable player of the team, AJ Styles interrupts him. As Styles says he is MVP due to being team captain (to which Sheamus responds by saying Styles is not his captain), Keith Lee and Matt Riddle interject, with Riddle asking if he gets a crown for beating King Corbin and saying he might get a sword with the title. This leads to Styles and Sheamus not liking Riddle's nicknames, followed by Strowman taking offense to "last but not lease" and demanding he be picked as he grabs Adam Pearce, who he soon headbutts.

In footage from earlier today, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) are met by The Hurt Business (MVP, Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander), who call The New Day an embarrassment for losing last night and say that the Raw tag team titles lost prestige thanks to them. Cedric Alexander says that he was sitting on the sidelines while The New Day embarrassed themselves, and demands a tag team title opportunity tonight so that the spotlight can be back on him. Kofi says they have a night off, but Xavier Woods accepts.

The Hurt Business (Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships almost ends in a double count-out, but MVP asks the match be restarted, saying that the match will not end on a double count-out. The New Day accept the restart, and the match is restarted.
