Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 17, 2025

John Cena heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Cena mentions his history in Madison Square Garden and how this will be the last time he will be here and on Raw. He says that this is a very important moment for him when "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up. Dominik says that nobody wants to hear what Cena has to say and that last week, Cena was handed a title shot just like he was handed everything else, then says he has fought for everything he has had. He demands a rematch for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and when Cena asks the fans how they feel about a rematch tonight, the fans make it clear that they want it. Dominik says that they will do this his way, and that he wants the rematch in San Diego, California at Survivor Series, since Cena will have the hometown advantage tonight. Cena accepts the challenge. Cena then says he told everyone he would have a match tonight, then says he has an opponent in Dominik and challenges Dominik to make history in a non-title match. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh show up, and Dominik says that Cena will get his ass beat instead of the final match on Raw that he wanted. Dominik, McDonagh and Finn Balor attack Cena, when suddenly, Sheamus makes the save for Cena but still gets ganged up on. All of a sudden, Rey Mysterio runs in and brawls with Dominik, evening the numbers game and allowing Cena and Sheamus to clean house.

She says that she has seen the real Charlotte and seen what she could be after all they have been through, then asks when Charlotte has cared about people liking her, and says Charlotte has had her back when she had hers. As Alexa says she has gone to hell and back for Charlotte, The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), Nia Jax and Lash Legend show up and head to the ring. Asuka laughs at Alexa while Nia Jax makes fun of Alexa for "standing in the ring like a total loser" before stating that she knows why Charlotte left her and that nobody is coming to save her.

Collision Course - Collision recap for November 17, 2023

Tony Schiavone interviews Christian Cage, Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne in the ring to start tonight's show. Christian Cage says the town is full of "plastic, phony people" who are about to hear someone speak the truth, and it is lucky for them that they not only get to see Sting's final match in Los Angeles and his final match ever, which he guarantees, as he is tried of looking at Sting and his facepaint and watching people bow down to him and call him an icon while he lives off his past and steals a check like he has for the last fifteen years. He also looks forward to Darby Allin losing a mentor, and tells Darby that if he ever needs that fatherly guidance, he knows who to look for. As for "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Christian says that if he sticks his nose in his business, it will be "his literal 'Come to Jesus' moment." Christian also says that Adam Copeland will regret ever signing a contact with All Elite Wrestling, and that while Copeland can fool everyone into thinking that he is here to tag with him one more time, nobody knows him better than he does and he knows Copeland wants to steal his spotlight. He says he is not the same person that he was back then, and while Copeland was coddled and handed all sorts of opportunities, he was stuck in the trenches fighting for every inch, and they will see whose career path served them better. He also tells Beth Phoenix to keep the kids up tomorrow night, as he will break Copeland's neck. Christian then states that AEW wants him on their programming as much as they can, then says he can beat the participants in tonight's four-way match to decide a new #1 contender for the TNT Championship all at the same time and that he will keep running things in AEW, for he is the system.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Big Bill and "Absolute" Ricky Starks. Big Bill says they are the best tag team ever in history, no question, and that he and Starks do not even need to be pinned to lose their tag tema titles. Starks says that he was allowed to pick a stipulation to favor them, and he is picking a ladder match. He says they do not need acronyms to prove why they are the best, for when they walk out of Los Angeles, they are walking out in style as champions and the greatest tag team anyone has ever seen.

Miro beats Daniel Garcia with Game Over. During the match, "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard shows up to stop Daniel Garcia from dancing, but Miro inadvertently runs into him when he tries to take advantage and knocks Menard off the apron.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews CJ Perry and Andrade el Idolo. Andrade says he is happy as of late, and CJ Perry says that Andrade has been born to do this and that she is entering him into the Continental Classic, with Andrade getting paid a bonus if he wins thanks to CJ Perry talking to Tony Khan. Andrade is taken aback, but after CJ Perry whispers into his ear, he likes the idea.

The House of Black (Malakai Black and Brody King) beat The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate).

We see a video package for Julia Hart vs. Skye Blue vs. Kris Statlander for the AEW Women's World Championship at Full Gear.

Andretti's medical update on Darius Martin is interrupted by Roderick Strong and The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett), with Bennett stating that Darius has "a bruised ego and a weak ass neck" before Taven tells Andretti to stop embarrassing himself with his haircut. Andretti tells them to shut up, then Roderick declares Action Andretti his next victim.

Buddy Matthews beats Wheeler Yuta. After the match, Buddy brings a chair into the ring, but he retreats when Claudio Castagnoli shows up. Claudio says that is Buddy wanted their attention, all he had to do was ask, and that Buddy has pissed him off for the last few weeks and would hate to leave Los Angeles without kicking some ass. He then challeges Buddy Matthews to a match at Full Gear.

We see a video package for Jon Moxley vs. Orange Cassidy for the AEW International Championship at Full Gear.

Kris Statlander and Hikaru Shida beats The Outcasts (Saraya and Ruby Soho) as "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker watches from the stands and also inadvertently distracts Saraya as he helps Ruby Soho on the outside.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Tony Schiavone interviews MJF. MJF admits that The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn) are "very ugly" but also very talented, and that he will do whatever it takes to keep the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships to uphold his promise to keep the tag titles for when Adam Cole gets back from injury, which he blames himself for. As for "Switchblade" Jay White, the AEW World Championship means everything to him and symbolizes all his hard work, and that Jay White - who reminds MJF of the parts of himself he despises - stole the title because he is insecure, and that the man makes the championship and that Jay White will lose because he is not on his level. On the subject of being world champion for close to a year, MJF says that the likelihood of that happening has always been "slim to none," and while the likelihood of winning both of his match at Full Gear is also slim to none, he likes those odds.

Santos Escobar heads to the ring. Escobar says never to meet your heroes, and that he patterned everything in his career off of Rey Mysterio and it was his wish that the next generation would see him like he saw Rey. He says Rey became a father figure to him and made him feel at home, but after last week, he realizes "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio was right about Rey. He says he deserved the United States Championship and wanted to bring in new members, but Rey Mysterio was the one doing both, then says they were supposed to be family only for Rey to side with "an outsider like Carlito" over him. Escobar then says that he hopes that the pain Rey is feeling reminds him of when Rey betrayed him, then apologizes for not doing more damage and hopes Rey got an infection, gets amputated and never comes back. Zelina Vega heads to the ring as Escobar insults Rey while Joaquin Wilde and Cruz del Toro watch, then Zelina confronts Escobar. When Escobar tells Zelina they are done, Zelina slaps him and leaves. When Wilde and del Toro comfort Zelina, Escobar is surprised they are siding with Zelina over him and states that he made them and that they only exist because he lets them. This turns into a confrontation, and Escobar tells them to get out, calling them dead weight he does not need. As they leave, Escobar attacks them both from behind.

Heyman also says that not only can Cena no longer speak, but Cena cannot say goodbye to the fans himself, which leads to Heyman doing it for Cena before thanking Solo for Cena being unable to show up and hit his five moves of doom on everyone. Heyman then goes back to mocking John Cena being unable to communicate thanks to Solo Sikoa, then LA Knight shows up as Heyman reiterates once again that John Cena will never be coming back to WWE. LA Knight says that no matter how good Roman Reigns has been, he is still champion because of The Bloodline, which he says is a problem that he plans to solve. He says he is standing on SmackDown after losing at Crown Jewel and that The Bloodline will cease to be because he made it that way, and that everyone will fall until it is just him and Roman, starting with Jimmy Uso.

She then says that if they are going to war, there is one person she wants on her side. Damage CTRL shows up, and Bayley brags about beating up all potential candidates for their fourth participant before stating that Bianca, Charlotte, and Shotzi will not even make it out of the building tonight.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for November 17, 2021

Backstage, we hear from The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, Adam Cole). Kenny Omega says he has yet to watch his match with "Hangman" Adam Page, and says that he is disgusted, but not with Adam Page. He feels like there are things he must fix and change, and asks Adam Cole and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) to hold the fort down.

The Dark Order is in the ring, where John Silver introduces "Hangman" Adam Page. Adam Page says that he earned the AEW World Championship, not deserved it, and says that he is usually a little more shy and reserved and does not talk too often, but since he is AEW World Championship, he will do whatever the hell he wants. He says that he is a still a man with a job and a boss to answer to, and that that boss is the fans. He says that if the boss doesn't mind, he would like to stay in the ring and celebrate "National Cowboy Shit Day" with the fans. Page says he knows the AEW World Championship holds a lot of weight and responsibility, and after Full Gear, his next responsibility is Bryan Danielson. Danielson arrives and heads to the ring. Danielson congratulates Page on winning the AEW World Championship and shakes hands with him, and says that while he is excited about his title shot, he is surprised and disappointed it is not Kenny Omega standing across the ring from him. Adam Page brags about beating Kenny Omega in less than 30 minutes at Full Gear, then Danielson tells Page he is not coming dressed as a Ghostbuster and is coming to kick some ass, then says "cowboy shit" is more about talking than wrestling. Danielson says that when he won the world title at WrestleMania, he wrestled the very next day, which earns him some boos for the crowd.

Nikki is home from Vancouver, and John Cena drives her to his place. Cena has to be careful with that arm, as he cannot move it around or have any liquid touch it.

Jon and Trinity are at home when Jon has something wrong going on with foot. Trinity finds out it is a fungal infection, and pleads with him to go to a doctor.

Bryan is going to be on the road for 13 days. Brie feels a little miserable that Bryan is out and about for a while, but is learning to deal with it.

It's the big night...and Justin Roberts can't really help Eva Marie out. Eva Marie is still nervous. She wants to cheat badly, but knows she can't do it. Nattie is worried that she's going to mess it up.

The guest announce spot happens for Eva Marie...and she sounds like Vickie Guerrero. She gets Justin Gabriel and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) correct, but when 3MB (Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal) shows up, she draws a blank on Jinder Mahal's name and freezes. Nattie and Jojo are not impressed. Meanwhile, Trinity tells Ariane about Jon's fungal infection, which stems from his college football days.

Eva Marie explains herself to Mark Carrano. Meanwhile, Jon's fungal infection strikes again, this time staining more of his foot. R-Truth, Jerry Lawler and Heath Slater are shocked.

Eva Marie knows she failed, and explains herself to 3MB  3MB (Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal), accidentally calling Jinder "Ginger." Jinder is a bit cross, but Heath and Drew give her the benefit of the doubt. Eva Marie is still proud of the fact that she didn't cheat her way through this.

Nikki dresses up as a sexy nurse...and "nurses" Cena back to health.

Jon and Trinity head to the doctor. Jon gets his toenail cut out and bandaged, and also gets some medicine to treat the fungus. The doctor says it can spread to other people, and Trinity is afraid that she may have gotten the fungus from Jon.

Trinity gets her toes checked. She does have the fungus, but not as much. She gets topical medication, as does Jon.

Brie (and Josie) talks to Bryan. Traveling the road for promotional stuff is taking a toll, and it's hard on Brie. She understands how it is for Nikki and John Cena.

As Nikki moves in, John Cena asks Nikki to sign a cohabitation agreement. Nikki is taken aback as she was not expecting it, even though it has to be done for all of this to happen. Nikki needs time to think, and she heads out and drives around, feeling that if she doesn't sign, there's no future for her and Cena.

...and here's After Total Divas!

Saturday Morning Slam Masters - Saturday Morning Slam recap for November 17, 2012

Santino Marella guests on commentary this week.

R-Truth beats William Regal with a roll-up. During the match, R-Truth's invisible friend Little Jimmy gives Regal a hard time.

We see The Miz ham it up in front of a camera behind a green screen.

In this week's Video Vault, we look back on The Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth) taking on The Rock and John Cena at last year's Survivor Series, the Montreal Screwjob at Survivor Series 1997, and the history of the Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Match.

Kofi Kingston is this week's Saturday Morning Spotlight.

David Otunga tells us: Don't Try This.

Kofi Kingston beats Zack Ryder. At the beginning of the match, Zack Ryder does not take off his headband, and Kofi blinds him with it. Ryder hands his headband off to Santino Marella before continuing the match, and when Kofi extends his hand in good sportsmanship, Zack nearly wins it on a surprise schoolboy pin. Both men show respect after the match.

Now go watch The Rock cost The British Bulldog the WWE Championship!

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for November 17, 1997

The New World Order, minus "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, shows up to start the show. Scott Hall sends a shout-out, who is sitting back at home, and says that all is well within the nWo. Hall then calls out "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, and tells him that he, Kevin Nash and Eric Bischoff watched old tapes of him and that even on fast-forward, he still didn't move. Hall then says Zbyszko doesn't want a piece of him and that he can't beat Bischoff. Kevin Nash says the nWo has an agenda, and tells The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) that they haven't beaten them and that The Outsiders (Hall and Nash) are the true tag team champions. He also tells The Giant that he can keep his spot as the one true giant in WCW as he's too busy being 6'10", sexy and just two sweet. Bischoff says that the nWo had so much fun with surprises last week that they have a new one this week: "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan himself. Hogan then brings out "Ravishing" Rick Rude, who is still in WWF as part of D-Generation X ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, Rude), now no longer sporting his full beard. Rude says "Oh, what a difference a day makes!" and talks about the rights and the wrongs of professional wrestling. He says it is wrong that that Shawn claims to be a world champion when he never beat Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and that Vince McMahon instructed a referee to ring the bell to rob Bret of the WWF Championship. On the other hand, he calls Bret abandoning "the Titanic" and swam to the refuge of the nWo, and nWo's course to destroy WCW and beat up the man called Sting what's right with wrestling, and regrets not being able to take part in last week's beating on Sting. He tells Sting that the second verse will be the same as the first, a whole lot rowdier and a whole lot worse, as he will participate. Hogan then asks the fans what it's like to be him, and says that spring has sprung and Sting has been stung before proclaiming that his blood runs through the nWo's veins and vice versa and all they had to do was watch him put Sting in their place to realize that he will live forever. Hogan says that Sting won't show up, as Sting will never be seen in WCW and nWo will rule for eternity. (Rick Rude shows up during the second hour of WWF Raw sporting a full beard. This is significant as it proves that Nitro was really broadcast live and that Raw was taped; tonight's episode of Raw was taped six days earlier. Rick Rude also appeared over the weekend on ECW Hardcore TV as well.)

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Ray Traylor. He says he does not want any help or sympathy, saying that he turned his back on WCW to join the nWo but did not like the person he had become. Every time the nWo attack him from behind to hurt it, it shows what cowards they are. As he challenges anyone to face him anywhere, any time, he is suddenly jumped from behind by The New World Order. Even "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan joins in on the attack, smacking Traylor in the back with his belt, and Savage spray paints the letters "NWO" on Traylor's back.

Meng beats Glacier by pinfall with the Tongan Death Grip. After the match, Meng and The Barbarian, the latter having been called out by Jimmy Hart, attack Glacier, but "The Cat" Ernest Miller makes the save and fights off all three men only to fall victim to the Tongan Death Grip as well.

Diamond Dallas Page says he doesn't know Bret "the Hit Man' Hart on a professional level, but he knows Bret Hart as a wrestler. He doesn't get why Bret "The Hit Man" Hart would join The New World Order, especially when he know how bad Bret wants it each and every night in the ring.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Disco Inferno! Harlem Heat! The Giant! Rey Mysterio Jr.!

Alex Wright beats Steve "Mongo" McMichael by disqualification when Mongo violently pushes the referee while stomping Wright in the corner after being aggravated by Debra McMichael. During the match, it is announced that Mongo will face Goldberg one-on-one at World War 3.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Chris Jericho after escaping the last powerbomb in a triple powerbomb attempt and hits a hurricanrana for the win. Both men show respect after the match (though it is not shown as the replay for the match plays right over it).

"The Crippler" Chris benoit says Bret is a great role model recognized by everyone, and says it is a shame that Bret would affiliate himself in any way with the nWo.

Eric Bischoff gets "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko's attention on the commentary table, and tells him he is sick and tired of hearing the commentary team talk about the New World Order. Bischoff walks away after , then walks back and smacks him in the head. Zbyszko confronts Bischoff, but is attacked by Konnan, Buff Bagwell, Scott Norton and Vincent. A fan tries to attack Bischoff from behind, but he gets attacked as well and is detained by WCW security. Bischoff kicks Zbyszko in the gut a few times while the other nWo members hold Zbyszko down. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan shows up on commentary early, replacing Zbyszko on commentary while a trainer tends to Zbyszko.

Diamond Dallas Page beats Villano V. After the match, DDP knocks Villano IV off the top rope and hits him with a Diamond Cutter as well before leaving through the crowd.

Dean Malenko vs. Eddie Guerrero ends n a double count-out when both men are unable to get up after a ten-count following a top rope back suplex by Dean Malenko. Eddie Guerrero retains . Rey Mysterio Jr. briefly watches the match from the entrance ramp midway through the match, as he faces the winner of this match this Sunday at World War 3 for the Cruiserweight title.
Lex Luger has mixed reactions about Bret "The Hit Man" Hart joining The New World Order, saying he has known Bret for years from travelling down the road together and has mutual respect for him. If it is true, it is hard to believe, but he is very disappointed.

Jamie Brandenberg of Georgetown University of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity in Georgetown, Kentucky is the winner of this week's Nitro Prize Pack, and we see the videotape of his Nitro party.

Perry Saturb beats Scotty Riggs with The Rings of Saturn. Raven's Flock (Raven, Perry Saturn, Billy Kidman, Sick Boy, Van Hammer) is seen in the front row before the next match, in which Saturn participates. Kidman grabs a microphone after he and Raven jump the guardrail alongside Saturn, and says he is authorized by Raven to give Riggs one more chance to join Raven so he can set him free. During the match, Riggs' eyepatch and bandage around his right eye both fall off, and we see how glassy and fogged out that eye is before he hits Raven's Flock with a top rope cross body to the outside and into the front row. Raven's Flock attacks Riggs after the match, then Raven moves his men away and kneels over Riggs.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

The Steiner Brothers (Ric and Scott Steiner) and Ted DiBiase are all attacked by The New World Order, putting an end to the match between the Steiners and Vicious and Delicious (Scott Norton and Buff Bagwell) before it can even take place. "Macho Man' Randy Savage spray paints the letters "NWO" on Scott Steiner's back. Before this, it is announced that "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko has been taken from the arena to a local hospital for further observation.

Lex Luger beats Curt Hennig by disqualification after pushing the referee into Luger and hits him in the skull with the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. Curt Hennig retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, and runs away when The Giant heads into the ring to save Luger. During the match, it is announced that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) and Ted DiBiase are not seriously hurt after what happened earlier, and that The Steiner Brothers will be able to compete again soon at World War 3.

Before the next match, Kevin Nash guests on commentary after heading to the commentary table, scaring away Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.

The Giant beats Scott Hall by disqualification after Scott Hall injures The Giant's right hand in an attempt to stop the choke slam and the rest of The New World Order attack The Giant before he can hit Scott Hall with a choke slam. The entire WCW locker room rushes into the ring and fights back against the nWo to end the show.
