Generation NXT - NXT recap for May 13, 2025

No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey, Myles Borne, Tavion Heights, Wren Sinclair) heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Myles Borne talks about how he shocked the world last week when he was the last man standing in a battle royal, and now, he is going to Battleground. He admits he was not expected to win, but that is okay, because he is used to this. He then talks about how he is partially deaf, which affects his speech, but last week, but when he eliminated Ethan page and Shawn Spears, he heard the fans go crazy. Myles says he does not want to be known as "the deaf kid;" he wants to be known by his ability and not his disability. He says that he is the underdog at Battleground and facing a dominant champion, but he fights for those struggling to fight their own fight. Myles says he does not want to be known as "the deaf kid;" he wants to be known by his ability and not his disability. He says that he is the underdog at Battleground and facing a dominant champion, but he fights for those struggling to fight their own fight. Ethan says Myles is worse than Ricky Saints when it comes to pandering to the fans, then states that he will give him his reality check like he did to Saints, stating that Myles' battle royal win was a fluke. Ethan tells Myles that he cannot beat Oba Femi because he is not on his level, then tells him to prove himself by putting his contendership on the line against him in a match. Dempsey tells Myles this is the perfect lesson and fight for him, as iron sharpens iron and he gets to silence his doubters. Myles accepts Ethan's challenge, then General Manager Ava appears. Ava questions Myles' judgment, but sees how badly he wants to prove himself, and makes the match official for later tonight. She then reveals that Dempsey's match with Oba Femi is right now.

Wes Lee beats Tony D'Angelo after Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo shows up on the TitanTron standing in front of the safe house where Adrianna Rizzo is staying. After the match, Stacks tells D'Angelo that he will pay Adrianna Rizzo a visit.

We see a vignette for OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price), who make it clear that they are putting the entire NXT tag team division on notice.

Stephanie Vaquer heads to the ring. Stephanie says that she respects Jordynne Grace's journey to the top of NXT, then Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley show up. Fallon Henley says it must be nice on top of the world and says Vaquer has been on top since she got here and is truly one of a kind, which will make her downfall that much sweeter. Jacy says that Vaquer's reign will not last long and that Vaquer does not belong in their world, and as Jacy entertains the two of them beating Vaquer for the NXT Women's Championship, Jordynne shows up. Jordynne tells Jacy and Fallon are in each others' way, then says she is here to protect her investment. Jacy says she and Fallon have held NXT down while Jordynne and Vaquer travelled the world. As Jacy says that Vaquer has made the most of her opportunities, Vaquer says that Jordynne failed once and will fail again. Jordynne says she will become champion and will take out Jacy and Fallon if she has to. Jacy says that she and Fallon will be the ones waiting to take the title when all is said and done.

Trick says Hendry should have stayed in his sweet spot, but now, he will take what matters most to him. Hendry says his career is about taking risks and doing more to be more, but along the way, Trick forgot about that. Ava steps in before things get even more heavily verbal, and Hendry says TNA is the hottest it has ever been because of him. After Hendry says he has defended his title against all sort of wrestlers, Trick says this match will be historical and that he will take everything from Hendry before signing the contract. Hendry says this may not be the biggest match of Trick's career, but it is the most important, as he is at a crossroads and if he loses, there will be no path to gold and his road will come crashing down. Hendry then signs the contract before leaving the room.



Backstage, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger meet with Josh Briggs, who wishes that he did not push Yoshiki Inamura away.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 13, 2024

Drew McIntyre heads to the ring to start tonight's show. McIntyre says the greatest trick the Devil pulled was convincing everyone he does not exist, and that the greatest trick CM Punk pullled was looking like a drug addict without taking any drugs, and that he manages to get the fans to take him back every time he messes up. He calls CM Punk fans "stupid," then shows his irritation towards CM Punk somehow being one step ahead of him, and says he will not waste his time with someone "who will not be cleared after 20 years." He says he will deal with "Main Event" Jey Uso when the times comes, as he has "the paper champion" Damian Priest to deal with.As McIntyre continues to talk about Priest, Priest shows up and enters the ring, then says McIntyre has some serious issues before telling him to say what he has to say to somebody's face. McIntyre reiterates that CM Punk keeps running away from him, then puts Priest over for putting in the work and being an inspirational success story before telling him he does not deserve to be champion, as the title is making the man, not the other way around. As McIntyre says the World Heavyweight Championship needs him to make it and that Damian Priest knew he could not beat him, Priest gets sick of McIntyre talking and asks him if he even picked this life before telling him to find a mirror and "blame that asshole" in it. He says he wanted to cash in earlier, but McIntyre kept stopping him from doing, and that him being cashed in was all on him. He says that all he had to do was leave and have his moment with his wife, but he saw CM Punk and made him more important than anything else. After making fun of him for being beaten up by a one-armed man, he tells him that he will get his World title shot, and while McIntyre can call him a paper champion all he wants, he will make him eat those words.

Backstage, Damian Priest sees Carlito in the clubhouse with The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio). Carlito says they all agree that Rey Mysterio is a selfish bastard and they could use a little extra muscle with Rhea and Dominik injured. Priest says he is okay with this, but tells Carlito he is not welcome in the clubhouse. Carlito chalks it up to himself not being trustworthy, but tells Priest that the most stubborn minds can be changed and that "one day, we can all be amigos."



Backstage, Chad Gable meets with the rest of Alpha Academy (Otis, Maxxine Dupri, Akira Tozawa) and chews out Maxxine Dupri for losing in the Queen of the Tournament before syaing that Akira Tozawa and Otis have chances at redemption with Sami Zayn.

In the recap for the first round of the King of the Ring Tournament, it is announced that Kofi Kingston beat Rey Mysterio in a house show in Macon, Georgia to advance to the quarterfinals.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods). Kofi says he is not stranger to doing the unthinkable, but tonight is about revenge after what Gunther did to Xavier Woods, and there is no room for fear, self-doubt or failure as the King of the Ring Tournament means a lot. Woods says everyone knows how dangerous Gunther is, and while he is injured, Kofi is the man who will be able to defend his honor and prove The New Day rocks.

Lilian Garcia is the special guest ring announcer for the next match, after giving Samantha Irvin kudos for doing a great job as a ring announcer.

Backstage, R-Truth proposes something to General Manager Adam Pearce.

Gunther beats Kofi Kingston with a Boston Crab to advance to the semifinals of the King of the Ring Tournament despite Kofi attacking and weakening Gunther's left leg before the bell.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Lyra Valkyria, who says that last week was a perfect way to kickstart being on Raw.

After this, Liv Morgan shows up and welcomes and congratulate Lyra before asking if Becky has always been such a bitch. Lyra tells Liv to ask Becky herself, and Liv turns around only to get punched in the face by Becky, who tells her that she is not the one who is afraid of a face-to-face fight.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interivews Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser. Kaiser says Gunther does not have to prove anything to anyone after Gunther walks out of the interview, and says that if Sheamus believes he lost because of him, then he is delusional. He admits Sheamus has had an incredible career, then says Sheamus will never beat Gunther and that Sheamus should be thanking him right now for saving him from Gunther, who will be the man who can expose and embarrass him in front of the world.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews General Manager Adam Pearce when New Catch Republic (Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne) shows up to thank Pearce for the opportunity next week, then Pearce says that a new era means new opportunities, such as a Fatal 4-Way Match to decide new number one contenders for the World Tag Team Championships between New Catch Republic, The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar), The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) and The Judgment Day (Finn Balor and JD McDonagh). When asked why Bron Breakker is not in the King of the Ring Tournament, Bron Breakker shows up and says his opponents are in the deep end with him, and he would have drowned everyone in the tournament and smiled. He then says he should have been in the tournament and leaves.

Lyra Valkyria beats Zoey Stark by countering the Z360 with the Nightwing to advance to the semifinals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament. After the match, Jackie Redmond interviews Lyra Valkyria in the ring. Lyra says she is travelling where the crow flies, which is straight to the top.

As Damage CTRL (Dakota, Iyo, Kairi) retreat, Liv Morgan sneaks up from behind Becky and throws Becky into the ring post.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Ilja Dragunov, who says that it is a dream or destiny to be in WWE and feel moments like this, but for him, it is not enough to be here; he is here to make an impact and it starts by becoming "The Tsar of the Ring." He says that he took Gunther to the limit, and he promises to take Jey Uso to that limit. He also says that he is not just a different kind of animal, but a different kind of dragon. As he says it is not over between him and Gunther, Gunther shows up and smiles, then walks away.

The Judgment Day (Finn Balor and JD McDonagh) beat New Catch Republic (Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne), The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar), The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) in a Fatal 4-Way Match to become #1 contenders for the World Tag Team Championships after Carlito hits Pete Dunne with a Backstabber on the announce table.

Riddle says they almost won at WrestleMania Backlash until Roman hit him with a Spear, then says that he cannot help but notice that whenever The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) cannot take care of business, Roman has to take care of it for them. Orton notes that he and Riddle are both sick and tired of this before mentioning that they want to be undisputed world tag team champions in WWE and calling Roman Reigns out to the ring. Inside of getting Roman, however, he gets Sami Zayn, who says that Roman will not come at the snap of someone's fingers and says that as locker room leader, nobody wants this tag title unification match, including RK-Bro, because RK-Bro knows they will lose. Sami then suggests that RKO go back to Raw and never return, but Orton calls Sami "Roman Reigns' errand boy" and Riddle just calls him "Rusty." This leads to a "Rusty" chant. Sami then tells to think about how they talk about Roman and The Usos, because the last person to talk ill of them was handled personally by him. Orton then calls Sami "Roman's shot caller," then proposes that Sami and Riddle have a match. Orton also throws in the stipulation that if Riddle wins, RK-Bro will get their match with The Usos. Sami gives in and accepts the challenge, but not for tonight, as he has to run things up the flagpole.

Noam Dar beats Nathan Frazer two falls to one (2-1) in a Heritage Cup Rules match. Nathan Frazer scores the first fall with an inside cradle almost a minute into Round 2. Shortly after this, Noam Dar gets frustrated at his second, and Sha Samuels scares the second away shortly after Round 3 begins. Noam Dar scores the second fall with a knee bar at 1:47 left in Round 4.

In footage from earlier today, Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala hosts a face-to-face meeting between Tyler Bate and A-Kid. A-Kid says things are a lot better ever since he has won the NXT UK Heritage Cup, and makes for a good story to tell in case things go wrong and proof that he can do whatever he wants with his life. Tyler Bate says the Heritage Cup represents the old-for-hold pure technique of professional wrestling that he fell in love with. When A-Kid says the cup is his, Tyler Bate says it is for now and that his confidence will be his downfall, for he does not have the experience and big matches under his belt. A-Kid says that he has always been chasing Tyler Bate, but now he is the champion and Tyler Bate is chasing him, but Tyler says he is in his own lane and that A-Kid fails to see the bigger picture. Both men then shake hands.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for May 13, 2020

Lance Archer shows up attacking Shawn Dean to start the show, with Jake "The Snake" Roberts following close behind. Roberts says he has been asked to make an apology concerning last week, and says he will make it when Brandi Rhodes kisses his ass. He says that the ring is "no land's man" for anyone behind the barricade, for this is their playground and where they write every chapter of their books. Roberts then says that a woman's place is in the home cooking, tending to the children and keeping him warm. He then says that time is up for "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, who can no longer hide behind anything or make any excuses. Suddenly, an engine can be heard, and Cody Rhodes is seen in a Ford F-150 ramming into a barricade. When he comes out of the truck, his fists are noticeably taped up, and Lance Archer and Cody Rhodes go at it while Jake "The Snake" Roberts berates Cody on the microphone. The brawl ends with Lance Archer retreating and Roberts telling him "not now."



Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) beat Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus). During the match, Rey Fenix runs out and kicks Orange Cassidy in the face with a flying kick, and MJF climbs over the barricade and rams Jungle Boy into the ring post. This allows Taylor to hit the Awful Waffle on Jungle Boy for the win.

We hear from Suge D, who says that tonight is the night after 15 years of clawing his way to the top that Chris Jericho has no respect for, and that life has been sweet ever since Jericho started calling him "Pineapple Pete" while drinking through a straw out of a cup shaped like half of a pineapple. He says that Jericho has an Inner Circle, but he throws hands, not shapes, and now they will go at it in the ring.

Nyla Rose will defend the AEW Women's World Championship against Hikaru Shida at Double or Nothing.

Matt Hardy and Kenny Omega beat Proud 'n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz). Proud 'n Powerful attack Omega before Matt Hardy can make his way into the ring.

Before the match, it is announced that Orange Cassidy vs. Rey Fenix is official for next week's show, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. will face Kris Statlander at Double or Nothing and that Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) will face Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent) to decide who will become #1 contender to the AEW World Tag Team Championships at the Double or Nothing Buy-In. After the match, MJF tells Jungle Boy that he is excited for their match at Double or Nothing, then says he feels a bit stiff. He then mentions that Marko Stunt has an open contract for a match and that he has signed his name on the dotted line. He tells Marko Stunt to get ready, because they will have a lot of fun. Wardlow then puts the Dynamite Diamond Ring on MJF's ring finger.



Chris Jericho quickly beats Suge D, who is officially called "Pineapple Pete" on his way to the ring before the match. After the match, Jiericoh states that the threat of "Pineapple Pete" has been vanquished before making fun of "Hangman" Adam Page and The Young Bucks not being around for the past two months before telling The Elite to "get their shit together" and face The Inner Circle one more time, as they act while everyone reacts to COVID-19 and write history while history stands still. As a result, The Inner Circle has created the "Stadium Stampede Match," saying that last week's Street Fight is nothing compared to what they will do to The Elite in a football stadium. He then challenges The Elite to the first-ever Stadium Stampede Match against The Inner Circle, and says that they await their response. Suddenly, Vanguard-1 shows up carrying a small Inner Circle shirt. Jericho takes the shirt, then tells Jericho that The Elite accept their challenge. When Jericho asks Vanguard if he accepts their invitation into The Inner Circle, he then states that they have rescinded their invitation and have a new sixth member: Floyd, the baseball bat that Jericho is carrying. Jericho and The Inner Circle then smash Vanguard into pieces with Floyd the Baseball Bat. Matt Hardy then shows up and picks up Vanguard as The Inner Circle laugh at him.

Brodie Lee beats "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. During the match, 10 gets on the ring apron, distracting the referee. Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky show up and beat 10 up, then Brodie Lee tries to swing a steel chair at Daniels only for Daniels to grab it and smack him with it instead before locking in the Koji Clutch. Members of The Dark Order storm the ring, but Kazarian, Sky and Colt Cabana run them out of the ring. This distracts Daniels, and Brodie Lee almost choke slams him. Daniels escapes the move and hits Angel's Wings, but Brodie Lee kicks out at one. Daniels goes for Angel's Wings again, but Lee blocks it. Lee eventually hits a discus clothesline to win the match. After the match, Jon Moxley shows up and fights off The Dark Order, but Brodie Lee and 10 leave with the AEW World Championship. Moxley then says he can admire guts and seeking the opportunity, but he does not suffer disrespect and fools. He tells Brodie Lee that he has made a very foolish decision that he will pay for dearly and that he will find out at Double or Nothing that it is more than a piece of metal when a hailstorm of violence awaits him and his AEW career is over before it started.





Here are the top five moments from tonight's show!



Generation NXT - NXT recap for May 13, 2020

Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) beat Timothy Thatcher and Matt Riddle to become the NXT Tag Team Champions!

We hear from Rhea Ripley, who says that while WrestleMania had not gone as planned, the thought of Charlotte Flair with the NXT Women's Championship sickens him.

We see a video chat between Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly. O'Reilly talks about a movie role he has just landed when Bobby Fish joins in, followed by Roderick Strong. Cole tells everyone in the chat that he made Velveteen Dream into a joke, then the four of them ponder why Dexter Lumis is getting involved in their business before deciding to take him out. Everyone agrees that Roderick Strong should take him out.



We see a vignette for Karrion Kross and Scarlett. Kross says they are not here to shock a system or save the fans from their collective black hearts; they are the fans' entertainment, and it is time to wake up from the dream where they stay asleep forever. He says that Tommaso Ciampa was the first, but not the last.



We see a vignette for Dakota Kai and Racquel Gonzales. Dakota says that something had to change during her injury, as too much focus was on Tegan Nox than her. She then said the change was made at TakeOver: War Games. She then says her career went to a whole new level when Raquel showed up, and that Raquel is the only woman who has her trust and her back. Raquel says they both know what it is like to be outcasts, and that they plan to hurt a lot of people.

Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae have dinner. They brag about their wins from last week, and Gargano calls Keith Lee "another flavor of the month" while saying that DominiK Dijakovic learned that if he speaks his name, there will be consequences. He also finds out that that anyone who gets in the way will find out it is their way or none. LeRae then says that Mia Yim got a title shot against Charlotte Flair while she got Kacy Catanzaro. She calls Catanzaro an example of what the undeserved will get from them that Mia Yim should take heed of, and says that Mia Yim just caters to the ground and deserves nothing just like everyone else. Gargano then addresses Keith Lee and the adulation that he gets, and says that everyone will love Keith Lee until they don't, as the adulation he looks for does not exist and that he will eventually be betrayed by the fans who leech onto him before something else comes around.

Miz talks about the Money In The Bank Ladder Match as well as what the match has done for him in addition to whoever wins it, then talks about his steel cage match against Shane McMahon at Money In The Bank. He does not talk about it for long before introducing Roman Reigns, who shows up. When asked about his match at Money In The Bank with Elias, Roman says Elias is a lot of things: young, strong, charismatic and talented. He then says that Elias has never won a championship, and on Sunday, he is bringing the big fight. Miz admits that they have never seen eye-to-eye, they have a bit in common - including a movie career - and proposes that they shoot a movie together. Roman says he would rather have the new Miz than the old Miz, and asks where the new Miz is. After a replay of "the new Miz" chasing after Shane McMahon from last week, Miz says that after 13 years, he has earned everyone's respect, but Shane has earned nothing and has been given everything. He says that on Sunday, a silver spoon will meet the steel cage, and while he is not the best at everything, he will find a way to win and there will be no place to run or hide for Shane McMahon, who will go down faster than his father did to a Superman Punch. Shane then shows up and says he did not hear either of them acknowledging that he is their boss, and informs that as of right now, Miz TV is over. Miz and Roman are then attacked from behind by Elias and Bobby Lashley. Shane then puts Miz and Roman in a match against Lashley and Elias that starts next.

A backstage worker then tells Braun that Shane McMahon would like to see him in his office.

Backstage, Sami Zayn tells Shane McMahon that the toxic behavior of the fans is making WWE Superstars act recklessly, blaming them for Braun Strowman putting him in a dumpster that got taken away last week. When Braun Strowman shows up, Sami Zayn says that Shane will take his Money In The Bank Ladder Match slot away from Braun and give it to him. Shane is reluctant, but Sami says he will fight Braun for it in a Falls Count Anywhere Match so he can put him in a dumpster. After Shane makes the match official, Braun tells Sami that he will eat him alive.



Mojo Rawley beats Apollo Crews.



Backstage, Alexa Bliss is on the phone with an airline over lost luggage when Nikki Cross shows up concerned for Alexa. Alexa thanks Nikki for the concern. Nikki tells Alexa she can talk to her when Alexa doesn't want to burden her with her problems. Alexa tells her about her problems, and Nikki proposes she talk to The McMahons about having someone replace her in tonight's Fatal 4-Way Match. Alexa likes the idea, and goes ahead with it.



Michael Cole moderates a contract signing between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans for the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championship matches at Money In The Bank. Lacey Evans, followed by Charlotte Flair, then Becky Lynch. Becky says that she knows what she is getting herself into on Sunday, but she does not care, and says that Lacey Evans will have a hard time backing her words up when she is stomping on the back of her neck. After Becky tells Lacey to ask Charlotte how hard it is to beat her, Charlotte says Becky got everything she ever wanted, but she still has to have a big mouth and put herself in a situation where she cannot win. Lacey says she is glad not to be the only one to have enough decency to show up appropriately, saying that this is a contract signing and not "a fight in a barn." Lacey is met by "Who are ya?" chants in the crowd, and Becky tells Charlotte that while she is wrestling royalty and groomed by the McMahons, she has not been producing results and that she is pressured into winning even more. Becky says one cannot afford to lose their first title match while the other can't afford to lose millions, then says she is not the only one under pressure before signing both contracts. Charlotte tells Becky she got her storybook ending and beat "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey, but it is still not enough and she has to build a reputation that will come crashing down when she beats her. She then signs her contract. Lacey says that the fans deserve a legitimate lady to set the proper example as a champion, as Becky Lynch's classless, confusing behavior is leading everyone astray. She promises to bring class back to the gold, and says Becky cannot take out two real ladies. After Lacey signs her contract, a quick war of words sees a brawl between all three women, and Becky is about to powerbomb Charlotte when Lacey gets her from behind. Charlotte attacks Becky as Becky gets Lacey in the Dis-Arm-Her, then powerbombs Becky through the table along with Lacey.



Baron Corbin beats Ricochet. After the match, Baron Corbin climbs up a ladder in the center of the ring, but Ricochet pushes the ladder down and sends Corbin into the top rope.



In the locker room, Charly Caruso interviews Rey Mysterio Jr., who says Samoa Joe crossed a line by targeting his son last week, and says that if anyone has a problem, they should say it to his face. Cesaro shows up and questions Rey talking about Joe when Joe is not here, and asks when it became "Take Your Son To Work Day" before mocking Rey's size and questioning if Dominic is his son as opposed to Joe's. Rey attacks Cesaro, and this starts a brawl that is quickly broken up by referees.



Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, who says that his Phenomenal Forearm was meant for Baron Corbin, but if anyone disrespects him, he will fight them. He says this was Seth Rollins' show until he showed up with a chip on his shoulder that isn't going anywhere, and on Sunday, he will walk in a challenger and walk out a champion.



Alexa Bliss guests on commentary for the next match.

Nikki Cross beats Natalya, Dana Brooke and Naomi in a Fatal 4-Way Match. After the match, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross set up the ladder in the middle of the ring, and Alexa climbs up the ladder to take the Money In The Bank Briefcase.



Backstage, Sami Zayn says everyone saying he has no chance of beating Braun Strowman tonight is just projection from the fans, and says he stands the best chance because he fights for a cause while Strowman is a manifestation of toxic fan fantasy. He says the only thing better than being big and strong is being right and fighting for what is right, and says he will beat Braun to be in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Before the next match, we hear from Samoa Joe, who says that Rey Mysterio talks a big game about him when he is not around for someone of a small stature. He says that Rey crossed the line the moment he brought Dominick into the WWE, and says that somebody has to teach him how to be a man.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Seth Rollins, who says that it is now personal between him and "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles before talking about a match between them in 2006 and how he had respect for him then. That night, his friends and family knew his goals were no pipe dream, and on Sunday, he plans to prove that he is the backbone of Raw and make Styles look up to him while he is flat on his back.



Sami Zayn beats Braun Strowman in a Falls Count Anywhere Match with help from Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin to take Strowman's place in the men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Pentagon Jr., Cage, Killshot, Sexy Star, King Cuerno, Fenix and The Mack find out from Dario Cueto that they are fighting for the first Medallion of the Ancient Tribes. Whoever gets this medallion will get something worthy of value, wealth and immortality.

Fenix wins a seven-way dance to win the first of seven Medallions of the Ancient Tribes.



Dario Cueto tells Angelico, Son of Havoc and a still-injured Ivelisse that they will be defending the Lucha Underground Trios Championships against The Crew (Cortez Castro, Mr. Cisco, Bael) next week in a Ladder Match.



Fenix is in the locker room when the room goes dark. Catrina shows up, warning him that Mil Muertes is back and coming for him. The room grows dark again, and Catrina disappears after telling Fenix that he's "a punk for death." Skeletons then show up in the locker room.

Hernandez beats Alberto El Patron to become #1 contender to the Lucha Underground Championship after Johnny Mundo shows up and attacks Alberto before throwing him through one of the windows of Dario Cueto's office, shattering it, much to the surprise and eventual satisfaction of Hernandez. In typical Dario Cueto fashion, Cueto just pours himself a drink as if it's both figuratively and literally another day at the office.



Here are the highlights for tonight's show!

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 13, 2013

The show starts with a dance-off between Chris Jericho and Fandango. Fandango dances with Summer Rae, and Jericho with world-class ballroom dancer Edyta Sliwinska. After trash talk from both men, the dance-off begins. Bad luck befalls Summer Rae when she tweaks her ankle. When both Edyta and Jericho check on her, Fandango (who is leaving the ring) turns back around, rushes into the ring and beats Jericho up. He then pulls off a piece of the ballroom flooring that is in the ring and smacks Jericho in the side of the head with it. He then goes to Summer Rae, who reveals she faked her injury the entire time.



Ryback beats Zack Ryder.



The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) beats Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay and Tensai) after Darren hits Brodus in the neck with his afro pick.



Teddy Long, with the authority vested in him by Vickie Guerrero, has an announcement concerning the World Heavyweight title match at Extreme Rules, but Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger butt in to try to get Dolph Ziggler stripped of the title. Big E Langston and AJ Lee also butt in, and both pairs argue with each other. Due to Dolph's concussion last week on SmackDown, the match at Extreme Rules will be a #1 contender's "I Quit" match between Swagger and Alberto Del Rio. Big E Langston also has a match against a mystery opponent tonight. That opponent will be voted on later tonight. Will it be Del Rio or Swagger?

Kofi Kingston beats Damien Sandow.



Josh Mathews interviews "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, only to be made an example out of by Henry, who puts his hand in one end of the strap, pushes him down to the floor, and then touches all four turnbuckles. He lets Mathews go, then calls out Sheamus, who shows up. Henry dares Sheamus to go at it with him right now, and Sheamus does...with his own strap! Henry retreats.





Randy Orton beats Antonio Cesaro.



The Miz beats Heath Slater with the Figure Four Leg Lock.



Kane and Daniel Bryan will defend the WWE Tag Team Championships against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules. Also, Kofi Kingston will defend the WWE United States Championship against Dean Ambrose on the same night.

John Cena, Kane and Daniel Bryan beat The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) by disqualification when the eliminated Rollins and Reigns save Ambrose from the STF. After Cena receives a three-man powerbomb, Ryback shows up, stands over Cena, then prepares to leaves only to turn back, grab a steel chair from underneath the ring and attack Cena's injured ankle with it.



Big E Langston's opponent? Jack Swagger.

Jack Swagger beats Big E Langston by count-out. Alberto Del Rio runs in to attack Swagger, but Swagger is able to lock in the Patriot Lock. Ricardo Rodriguez proves enough of a distraction so that Del Rio can lock in the Cross Arm Breaker, but Langston beats down Del Rio and goes after Swagger again. Swagger takes Langston out, but Del Rio cleans house.



The Miz and Cody Rhodes will face each other in the Extreme Rules pre-show.

The Bella Twins (Brie and Nicole Bella) and Kaitlyn guest on commentary for the next match.

AJ Lee beats Natalya with the Octopus submission hold.



Matt Striker interviews Chris Jericho. He's tired of playing by Fandango's rules. It's time to play by his.

When Triple H enters the ring, the steel cage comes down towards the ring.

After the break, Triple H - now in a cage - talks about the ring has made him what he is and how it made him learn to hate. He dares Brock Lesnar to take his "home." Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up, and Triple H dares Lesnar to get in the ring. Heyman decides to play semantics with Triple H's words before promising Lesnar will teach him the true meaning of "hate." Lesnar may be ready for a fight, but that fight will have to wait until Sunday. Triple H figures out that Lesnar won't stand face-to-face with him like a man because Heyman can't afford to, and uses reverse psychology to lure Lesnar towards him. Both men beat each other down and the door is shut, but Triple H throws Lesnar through the cage door. Lesnar retreats.
