Jerry "The King" Lawler bashes Jake "The Snake" Roberts before the first match, saying he's been exposing him as a hypocrite. He tells Roberts to make one of those "tell-all" books instead of telling people about it. He then calls out "The Portuguese Man-O-War" Aldo Montoya, calling him "Roberts' designated driver," and says Montoya only beat him because he hung with Roberts and his intoxicating breath transferred over to Montoya's body. He pulls a bottle of Jim Beam out of a paper bag, says it's Roberts' tag team partner, and tells him to hand it to Roberts once he's done with him. He then says he knows Montoya does not drink. Lawler continues to speak into the microphone when the bell rings, and tosses the mic onto the floor before telling Montoya to pick it up if he wants to say his piece. When Montoya does, Lawler gets a cheap shot.
Jerry "The King" Lawler beats "The Portuguese Man-O-War" Aldo Montoya. After the match, Lawler pours the whole bottle of Jim Bean into Montoya's mouth as officials try to stop him.
The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy) want to be known as "The New and Improved Rockers" before the next match. Hillbilly Jim also guests on commentary, then The New Rockers attack The Bodydonnas (Skip and Zip) as soon as they come out from backstage.
A lot of happenings take place in the next match. First, Vince McMahon interviews Sunny. She says that next week, Faarooq Asaad will debut against Skip, and that she'll get what she wants when he proves that Skip can't measure up. Faarooq says it makes no difference who his opponent is, you're either the hunter or the prey, and he's never the prey because he's from a fighting background and doesn't plan to start now. He then says the tiger is the real king of the jungle as the tiger is a man-eating animal who doesn't need a pack of females to do the fighting for him, and likens himself to the tiger. Next, The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) and The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) are seen watching the match from separate rooms. We then learn that the individual being represented by Clarence Mason in recent hearings has been allowed back into the WWF as per WWF President Gorilla Monsoon, but will be under close scrutiny not only by the WWF but by Monsoon personally. Clarence Mason is pleased by the outcome.
The Bodydonnas (Skip and Zip) beat The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy) by disqualification with Zip is attacked by The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn). The New Rockers and The Smoking Gunns continue to attack The Bodydonnas, but The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) show up to clean house. The Bodydonnas and The Godwinns are standing tall in the ring.
We see footage from earlier today where Kevin Kelly interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels earlier today. He says he may be facing adversity in the form of both Vader and Mankind, but it is during times like these that he is at his strongest, and he never said that he was an unbeatable man. At SummerSlam, Vader will have to face him one-on-one for the WWF Championship, and he will have Jose Lothario in his corner when he does. He admits the odds are stacked against him and he has a tough fight ahead of him, and says he cannot express what the WWF Championship means to him and what it has brought to his life as he's waited a long time for this. To beat him, one must beat both him and all the people behind him. He also hopes that Bret "The Hit Man" Hart returns to the WWF, as the WWF without Hart is like peanut butter without jelly. As for his victory at WrestleMania 12, he's used to the criticism. He says that tonight's battle royal personifies why he's the only guy in the WWF that can be the WWF Champion, as there probably can't be another guy who can take on the kind of schedule that he's had to take on. He says Vader is one tough customer, but he could lose the WWF Championship on the next match. There are a lot of confident Superstars in the World Wrestling Federation, but he likes to think that he is a shining star among the rest.
We see footage of last Friday's show from the brand-new Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The over-the-top-rope battle royal begins with Undertaker going after Mankind...and both of them end up going over the top rope before both of them take their brawl to the back. Later in the match, we find out that their battle has gone all over the building, and it returns to the ring for a few seconds before they run back into the crowd and fight their way into the back. We eventually see them fight in the back as officials try to break it up.
The "Bikini Beach Blast-off" is advertised for the SummerSlam Free For All happening in two weeks on the Prevue Channel.
Next week on Raw: "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels vs. Owen Hart!
Ahmed Johnson - competing against doctor's orders due to his injured kidneys - last eliminates Goldust to win a battle royal to earn a shot at the WWF Championship next week on Raw. (In reality, the show was recorded before it was revealed that Ahmed had a kidney injury, and the "doctor's orders" lines from Vince McMahon were overdubs.) Vince McMahon interviews Ahmed after the match, and says he will be sad if he doesn't get Shawn Michaels, because Shawn is like a brother to him. On the other hand, he is interested in facing Vader for it. As he speaks, however, Faarooq Asaad shows up, and he and Ahmed brawl to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 29, 1996
It is revealed at the beginning of the show that the reason The British Bulldog wanted to confront "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels last night was because of rumors that Michaels slept with his wife, Diana Hart Smith. When Michaels won his match last night, The British Bulldog headed down the aisles after In Your House went off the air.
Mankind beats Bart Gunn with the two fingers to the esophagus. We find out that the music that plays when Mankind wins has a calming effect on him.
Jim Ross interviews Bart Gunn, who says that Mankind's submission move was so devastating he couldn't move. As he speaks, Mankind shows up and sticks his fingers down Bart Gunn's esophagus again.
Savio Vega guests on commentary for the next match, and shows up with a leather strap, and immediately challenges "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to a Carribean Strap Match at the next In Your House.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats Scott Taylor with the Million Dollar Dream. During the match, Jerry "The King" Lawler almost gets whipped by Savio Vega. After the match, Savio Vega challenges Steve Austin to the Carribean Strap Match. Austin and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase reject the challenge. DiBiase leaves the ring, but Austin does not, and Vega smacks Austin from ebhind with the leather strap.
Vince McMahon interviews The British Bulldog and his wife Diana Hart Smith in the ring. He then introduces "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Michaels says that one month ago, nobody thought his wrestling style would last sixty minutes against Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, but he adapated to Hart's style, danced for 63 minutes, and came out on top. Last night, nobody thought his wrestling style would hold up against Diesel, but he held his own and gave Diesel an ass-whipping of his own. Michaels then says he can adapt to any style and that he is ready for the best the WWF has to offer. Jim Cornette confronts The Heartbreak Kid for sleeping with Diana Hart Smith. It is shown through last night's footage that a production assistant asked Diana to come with him to the back, as Jim Cornette was in trouble. She goes to the back. Cornette was not waiting there, but Michaels supposedly was. Cornette says that Michaels put his arm around her, took her to a dark corner and propositioned her. Cornette wants to know what kind of person what do this, and calls Michaels a sleazebag (among other things). Cornette then forces Michaels to face Diana, and accuses Michaels of being a fornicator. Diana tells Michaels he knows he wants her, but Michaels tells her with all due respect not to flatter herself. Diana slaps Michaels in the face, then Michaels says "I guess we all know who wears the pants in the Smith family." Bulldog then attacks Michaels, starting a brawl before the break.
During the break, officials broke up the brawl between "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and The British Bulldog.
Next week on Raw: "Wildman" Marc Mero vs. The 1-2-3 Kid! The Undertaker vs Owen Hart! Goldust!
The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) come to the ring with their own pet pigs before the next match as it is announced that the winner of the match will get a title shot against The Bodydonnas (Zip and Skip).
We hear from Sunny, who says she needs to get "a little closer look" to see which team she prefers to have The Bodydonnas' (Zip and Skip) tag team title match against.
Yhe Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) and The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy) fight to a double count-out when both legal men are out of the ring and Hillbilly Jim chases after Sunny for trying to get Phineas' attention.
Jim Ross interviews Mankind in a backstage stairwell. He asks Mankind about his submission holds. Mankind says there are over 740 pressure points in the human body, and "during the course of an isolated adolescence, [he] explored them all and searched for the weapon from which there would be no escape." He says "It was a wonderful nerve, underneath the eye socket, but underneath the tongue where the flesh is weak and the nerves run deep, when enough force is exhibited, there is no escape. Temporary paralysis overcomes the body and the only hope for Mankind's love for humanity" - and he assures he is thine. He is surprised not only of the fact that he was able to beat Undertaker with the hold, and tells 'Taker to show some courage of he will destroy him whenever and wherever he chooses, as he is tired of 'Taker's weakness.
The Ultimate Warrior beats Isaac Yankem D.D.S.
It is announced that as per WWF President Gorilla Monsoon that there will be a rematch between The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) and The New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Garrett) on this week's Superstars.
