Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 6, 2025

Roman Reigns heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Before he can say much of anything, however, "Big" Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman show up. Heyman says that he does not know who has been advising him regarding public speaking since he broke his heart, then introduces Bronson Reed as "your tribal thief." He says that Roman has never been beaten so badly that he had to be carried out on a stretcher and taken to the hospital in an ambulance, then Bronson demands the microphone. Bronson says that Roman's father Sika was never stretchered out, and neither was his uncle, yet Roman was stretchered out by his own hands. Roman says Heyman knows his family, not Bronson, and that his father would say "Fight him now." He then declares "Let's do this...now!" Heyman stops Bronson, telling him that Roman is on his time. Roman can tell what Heyman is saying to Bronson immediately, then says he is levels above Roman and that it will be his time no matter what. Heyman then says that this match will happen at Crown Jewel, and that it will be an Australian Street Fight. Roman accepts the challenge. Heyman says "Good night, everybody!" Roman says Bronson and Heyman walked in like tough guys only to walk out like bitches, and Bronson gets in the ring with Roman and the two men brawl. Roman sends Bronson tumbling into the timekeeper's area before breaking down the announce table and being stopped by officials and security, who try to stop the brawl but cannot stop a Superman Punch to Bronson.



Backstage, Asuka demands that General Manager Adam Pearce make a match against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky tonight. Pearce says Rhea is in Australia, then says that he will ask Iyo Sky if she wants the match. Pearce leaves, then Kairi shows up. Asuka says they will teach Rhea and Iyo respect, then tells Iyo that she will face Iyo tonight. Kairi does not want to face Iyo, but Asuka slaps her and tells her the match is happening. Kairi reneges, and Asuka says "You'd better win."



Maxxine Dupri beats Becky Lynch by count-out. During the match, Becky throws Maxxine around on the outside before showboating on the announce table, and Maxxine gets back in the ring before Becky does to win by count-out.



Backstage, Roman Reigns meets with The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso). Jimmy is offended by Bronson Reed's comments, and Jey says he has Roman's back. Roman says he does not need help and that Jey should be focused on his own business, as CM Punk is talking at the top of the hour and not Jey. Jey leaves, then Roman tells Jimmy that he sees and hears everything, and wants to know what the problem is with Jey taking advice from him before walking off.



Backstage, Lyra Valkyria is met by Bayley, who wants to be in Lyra's corner. Lyra asks Bayley how she is feeling, then says Raquel Rodriguez will be out there and that she needs all the help she can get.

Roxanne Perez beats Lyra Valkyria after Bayley counters a move that Roxanne is about to hit Lyra with as Raquel Rodriguez distracts the referee. Raquel hits Bayley with a big boot afterwards, and when Lyra hits Raquel with a tope suicida, Roxanne hits Lyra with a DDT on the outside followed by Pop Rox inside the ring tow in. After the match, Bayley and Lyra go after Roxanne and Raquel.



Next week's Raw will air live on Netflix at 8 AM Eastern/5 AM Pacific.

We see a video package for John Cena vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles at Crown Jewel and their past matches up to this point.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles. The interview is interrupted by The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio), and Dominik says Styles thinks he can beat Cena when he cannot beat him while Finn tells him that a tag team title match is a big mistake. AJ Styles proposes that they have a six-man tag match just to see how tough The Judgment Day is.

Rusev is seen arguing with General Manager Adam Pearce as CM Punk heads to the ring.

Backstage, "The Phenomenal" AJ Lee and Dragon Lee meet up with Penta and ask him to team up with them against The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio). All of a sudden, Lyra Valkyria and Bayley are seen attacking Raquel Rodriguez, and Roxanne Perez jumps in before officials try to restore order.

PBR bullriders John Crimber, Hudson Bolton and Rocker Steiner as well as the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are seen in the crowd.

CM Punk heads to the ring. Punk thanks the fans for their warm welcome back to WWE for AJ Lee, then mentions the Men's Crown Jewel Championship match and his promise to keep his nose out of "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes' business despite his history with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. He says he started the year beating Rollins on Netflix and that he will do it again to end the year, and says he will get the World Heavyweight Championship back as he has Rollins' number. All of a sudden, LA Knight shows up, and he says that he has yet to win the World Heavyweight Championship, and while he thanks him for being a good husband, he calls him "a trash champion" for losing the title to Rollins and losing to Rollins again and again. Knight then brags that Rollins has never pinned him, with Punk reminding him that he has never been champion as he does, and Knight calls Punk a "two-time loser" while he is a "two-time winner" against Rollins, especially with Punk giving him one of those wins. As Knight states that he will be World Heavyweight Champion, "Main Event" Jey Uso shows up and says his mind is clear and that he never got his title rematch and that he is the one who is up next. Knight says Jey had the title, but he lost it, and his time came and went. He then says it is his time and not Jey's or Punk's, and says Jey will never be Roman and should be focusing on the tag titles. Jimmy shows up, and as Knight addresses him as well as Jey, Jey superkicks Knight, then Punk says that if Jey wants the title, he will have to get in line behind him. He then says Jey should focus on being part of a tag team, as he likes Jey but hates "Lil' Roman." Jimmy has to hold Jey back, and that gives Punk the means to knock Jey out. When Punk turns around, Jimmy superkicks him.



We hear from Iyo Sky, who says that what happened between herself and Asuka is Asuka's fault, not Rhea Ripley's. She admits she owes so much to Asuka, who she viewed like a big sister, but says Asuka's jealousy and disrespect changed everything. She says that Asuka was a reason she became champion, but not the only reason, then says Rhea is right and that Asuka wants only what is best for herself. Iyo also says a real family member would not take credit for her success, then says they are not family anymore and that she is starting to find out who is. She then says that at Crown Jewel, Asuka will find out she is not ready for Iyo.

Kairi Sane beats Iyo Sky after Iyo Sky attacks Asuka again during the match. When Kairi pins Iyo, she is able to grab Asuka's hands for leverage. After the match, Kairi Sane hits Iyo Sky with an In-Sane Elbow with help from Asuka.



We see part two of a set of video package of the history between "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins.



Backstage, Becky Lynch blames the referee on tonight's loss as Seth "Freakin'" Rollins continues to look at the Rolex watch that "The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes gave him. Rollins then tells Paul Heyman that they should talk and says that he must win this Saturday. He then asks "What if I don't?" Heyman says that if Rollins loses, he loses the locker room and he loses the faith of The Vision, and he will throw away everything they have worked for and become a "de facto secondary champion." Rollins then mentions that Heyman left himself out of the equation, and demands a straight answer. Heyman says he will eventually have to ask himself why he picked Rollins over Roman Reigns.



"Main Event" Jey Uso is talking with Roman Reigns when Jimmy Uso shows up, and Jey asks Jimmy about why he was out there. Jey thinks Jimmy is protecting CM Punk and tells him to figure out whose side he is on. Jey leaves, then Jimmy tells Roman that he and Jey are nothing like him. Roman says that Jey became more like him and less like Jimmy when he was World Heavyweight Champion, and if he needs to help his brothers, sometime he will need to stay out of his way.



"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles is interrupted on the microphone before the next match.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Dragon Lee and Penta beat The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio). During the match, Rusev shows up and goes after Dominik, who escapes after Rusev gets superkicked by Penta. Styles then hits McDonagh with the Styles Clash for the win. After the match, AJ Styles announces that the story between himself and John Cena writes itself and that they will leave it all in the ring at Crown Jewel.



Backstage, LA Knight is met by CM Punk. Knight tells CM Punk that if they have to do this, then Punk should try not to get pinned tonight.

CM Punk and LA Knight beat The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) after Punk hits Jey with the GTS only for Knight to tag himself in for the pin and the win.

Pearce admits he does not have much to say and wonders why Loquasto is even backstage.

Loqausto thanks Pearce for the support, and Pearce says "I hate you" before refusing to let Loquasto borrow his hat.

Lucky O'Shea beats Rachel Summerland. During the match, a man wearing similar colors to Lucky shops up, distracting Rachel, and Lucky wins with a schoolkid pin.

After the match, David Marquez interviews Slymm, who says that no matter where he goes, he has "all his gangstas in the house," and says that while he has it all, he does not have the NWA World Championship, and he will take on all comers and not back down from anybody.

Backstage, we hear from Ortiz. He says he was supposed to have a face-to-face meeting with Mike Santana, but Santana avoided him and went home in protest. He says that Santana is still the sad little kid crying after a fight he caused and that his tough guy image is a defense mechanism, and that he runs from the truth. He says that people still look up to them as role models, especially as they reached heights not many reach, and yet he spits on the people who look up to them. Ortiz then says that he will expose Santana, saying that if karma took his one knee, then he will take the other.

Paul Heyman says that he has a knack for seeing "the next big thing" and "the next megastar" in wrestling, and that the next big megastar in the business is going to be LA Knight. He says that Knight has earned his respect and admiration, but also his attention and his condolences, for The Bloodline will have to do something about LA Knight getting in their business.

Backstage, Rhea Ripley is still taking with Paul Heyman. Rhea tells Heyman he is a wise man and tells him to make the wise decision, for The Bloodline (Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa) and The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) are stronger together. Heyman says he likes the idea and that he will get it authorized with Roman Reigns, which Heyman has to explain to Rhea.

Slamovich arrives first, followed by Jordynne. After D'Amore mentions what is at stake - Jordynne's Knockouts Championship and Slamovich's undefeated streak - he hands out the contract. Slamovich simply signs the contract and hands it back to D'Amore. Unlike Slamovich, however, Jordynne has something to say, and she tells Slamovich that she truly respects her for what she has done in Impact. She says that she knows how badly Slamovich wants the Knockouts title and that she wants it as badly as she wanted it when she was in Slamovich's position, but she is not ready to give it up, especially after all she has done. Jordynne talks about how she became the first Triple Crown Knockout in Impact Wrestling history, then says that while Slamovich is undefeated, Slamovich has not learned from losing, and she will teach that lesson to her. She signs the contract. Before the signing ends, Masha Slamovich says to Jordynne - in Russian - "Masha's gonna kill you." She then flips the table and pins Jordynne under it before attacking her. Jordynne fights back, however, and she goes for a Muscle Buster through the table before Slamovich escapes it and puts Jordynne through it with a Snow Plow to end the show.

He says it is going to be a great night, and it is going to be better because Kevin Owens is with him. Kevin says that usually nothing cheers him up like Elias' music, but he does not know if that will happen tonight, as they are just two great guys sitting in the ring together in "a cesspool of a city." Owens gets booed, and he responds by yelling "I told them Super Show-Down should be in Canada!"

Before he can say much else, Lashley's entrance interrupts them.

The win is Triple H's first victory against The Undertaker in a one-on-one match in sixteen years.

Eli Drake teases pressing the button again, but pushes it to the side and stands up.

Rusev says America is nothing and that Big Show is a coward, just like all of America. All of sudden, the one man nobody expected to show up does...The Rock. Rusev threatens to crush Rocky if he doesn't leave the ring. After some choice words, The Rock gives Rusev quite the ass-kicking.





Paige and Alicia Fox beat AJ Lee and Emma when AJ leaves Emma high and dry.



After saying that Luke Harper is set free last week, Bray Wyatt announces that Erick Rowan is also set free.



The Miz beats Sheamus after Damien Mizdow provides the distraction by eating Sheamus' Brogue Kick. After the match, Sheamus chases both Miz and Mizdow away with a steel chair.



Jerry Lawler puts a spotlight on the breast cancer survivors in the crowd, then introduces American television Joan Lunden, who is currently fighting her own battle with cancer. After thanking the WWE Universe, she names off the members of the breast cancer survivor section one by one. John Cena accompanies Joan on her return backstage.



NeNe Leakes will be on Raw next week!



John Cena beats Seth Rollins, Randy Orton and Kane after the match gets out of control. All three men demolish Cena, but Dean Ambrose returns with a hot dog wagon. Ambrose get a messy advantage on Triple H's goons, but Orton and Kane get the upper hand and they escape with Rollins. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up, and Triple H is impressed they're back on the same page, so he puts Ambrose and Cena in a match at Hell in a Cell where the winner faces Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell Match later that night. Ambrose then hits Cena with a DDT to end the show.

Saturday Morning Slam Masters - Saturday Morning Slam recap for October 6, 2012

Santino Marella guests on commentary this week.

Dolph Ziggler tells us: Don't Try This.

Rey Mysterio beats Michael McGillicutty. Due to the show's strict regulations against moves aimed at the head and neck to keep the show rated TV-G in America, Rey Mysterio gets Michael McGillicutty in a seated position on the ropes during his attempt at the 619, and Rey kicks him in the rear end instead of the head. During the match, McGillicutty mocks Rey for his small size, gets tricked into hitting the ropes into near-exhaustion by Rey,

Don't be a bully, Be A S.T.A.R. Show tolerance and respect.

Santino Marella is this week's Saturday Morning Slam.

Daniel Bryan answers questions from the WWE Universe. When asked if he dreams of hamburgers, he says no, as he has no interest in hamburgers. When asked if he has ever made a mistake, he says he never does. When asked if he knows the taste of defeat, he says wins every match, even when he loses. When asked if he believes in unicorns, he says no, as they are "the stupidest fictional character [he] can imagine." When asked if he plays video games, he says no and that video games are for idiots. When asked if he likes magic, he says no, as magic is pure fiction and he is a man of science. When asked if he likes ice cream, he says yes, "especially ice cream made with almond milk." When asked if he wants a tag team partner, he says no as he can do everything by himself. When asked if he likes goats, he repeatedly screams "no" and walks away.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for October 6, 1997

WCW extends its thoughts and prayers to the family of Brian Pillman, 1962-1997.

The show starts with a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Eric Bischoff and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan show up. Hogan says he has been here week after week putting the WCW World Heavyweight Championship on the line, and that Sting is too afraid to face him. He also announces that he has heard that "Rowdy" Roddy Piper is on his way here to Minneapolis, Minnesota tonight and that he is at the wrong place at the wrong time. Hogan awaits him with bated breath as he will read that "skinny little punk" the riot act and wants Bischoff to be by his side when he does it.

Booker T beats Jeff Jarrett after Steve "Mongo" McMichael shows up and chews out Debra McMichael. When Debra slaps Mongo and Jarrett is about to go at it with Mongo, Mongo punches Jarrett and sends him right back into the ring, allowing Booker T to get the roll-up and the win.

This Saturday on WCW Saturday Night: Lex Luger! Jeff Jarrett! Disco Inferno! Ray Traylor! Chris Jericho!

Alex Wright beats Billy Kidman. Raven and ECW wrestler Perry Saturn are both seen in the front row during the match. Also, Debra McMichael and Steve "Mongo" McMichael are seen arguing backstage, and when Jeff Jarrett shows up, Mongo says he will have a way to settle everything at Halloween Havoc.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

"The Cat" Ernest Miller beats Mortis. During the match, it is announced that Disco Inferno has signed for a match with Miss Jacqueline at Halloween Havoc according to the WCW Executive Committee. For the first time in WCW history, a female competitor is in a match for a title that has always been held by males. After the match, Miller chases after James Vandenberg.

The nWo makes an announcement stating that "Macho Man" Randy Savage will beat Diamond Dallas Page.

Scott Hall and Syxx show up. Hall announces that Kevin Nash is at home recuperating from an injured knee, and that he is hurt as well, as indicated by his taped-up ribs. He would be at home recuperating, but he refuses to let down the fans. As for how they got hurt at the same time, it happened at Nash's house when Nash fell off his stool and Hall laughed so hard he put his back out when they watch old tapes of "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, and tells Zbyszko and Lex Luger that they're sitting at home while the nWo carries the load, and if he has to crawl to Las Vegas to take on Luger and Zbyszko at Halloween Havoc, they're still going down. Pyrotechnics then signal the start of the second hour.

Scott Hall beats Hector Garza after manhandling the referee and allowing Syxx to interfere during the match. After the match, Syxx kicks the referee in the back of the head as he lifts Hall's arm in victory, then Hall puts the referee in the Torture Rack, revealing that he is not even hurt. As referees show up to restore order, Scott Hall takes a can of black spray paint and spray paints the letter "Z" on the back of the referee's shirt.

We take a special look at Bill Goldberg, and we learn that Goldberg played football for the University of Georgia and the Atlanta Falcons.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Diamond Dallas Page beats Disco Inferno by disqualification after "Macho Man" Randy Savage runs in and attacks Page. Disco Inferno retains the WCW World Television Championship. Savage exposes the concrete below the mats outside of the ring in an attempt to piledrive Page on it, but Interim WCW Commissioner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper stops Savage and allows Page to hit Savage with a Diamond Cutter on the concrete before Page and Piper flee through the crowd. The rest of the New World Order rush in to check on Savage and demand that a doctor come out. Medics show up with Miss Elizabeth and a stretcher, and Hogan instructs some of his men to head to the back to keep "Rowdy" Roddy Piper from escaping. The crowd sings "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)" as Savage is placed on the gurney.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Interim WCW Commissioner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper in the ring. Piper says he has never heard so many liars in his life, saying that Scott Hall has lied more than Minnesota has lakes and that Scott Hall didn't beat him like he says he did. As for The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) and their injuries, they will defend the WCW World Tag Team Championships, and if they don't, they will be stripped of the titles even if they are injured. Also, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Diamond Dallas Page will have a "Piper Rules" Match at Halloween Havoc, where they no rules at all and the last man standing is the winner. Eric Bischoff and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan show up, and Okerlund immediately gets out of dodge as Bischoff says Hogan has something to say. Hogan tells Piper that the icon crap stops here, and asks him who he thinks he is barking orders because J.J. Dillon is hurt and what makes him think he can lay the law around here. Hogan tells Piper he is incapable of being an icon simply because he still exists, and while their careers did parallel for the last 15 years, Piper spent those years in his shadow. Hogan says the fans are here and the nWo is wide open because of him, and at Halloween Havoc, he will prove to Piper's wife and kids that he's the only icon as he ends his career and makes his come home for good, and if he wants to kick his ass, he'll do it right here. Hogan pushes Piper, Piper shoves Hogan, and Bischoff kicks Piper in the back of the knee before Hogan pulls Piper's shrt over his head, punches him and repeatedly rams the back of his head into the mat. When Bischoff goes for the roundhouse kick to Piper's head, however, Piper ducks and Bischoff kicks Hogan instead. Piper gets on top of Bischoff, then gets on top of Hogan before The New World Order shows up and pulls Hogan out of the ring. Piper grabs the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and swings it around, keeping the nWo at bay.

We are presented with another performance by The Nitro Girls as it is announced that if Steve "Mongo" McMichaels beats Jeff Jarrett at Halloween Havoc, Debra McMichael must leave World Championship Wrestling.

Mike Tenay reports on the history of lucha libre and the Mexican luchadors, from its beginnings made possible by Don Salvador Lutteroth (which has brought wrestling to Arena Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico which is still performed there to this day), the lucha libre boom of the 1940s and the introduction of masked luchadors, the advent of lucha libre on television in the 1950s, the era of the second generation wrestler in the 1980s, and When Worlds Collide! in 1994 which saw WCW partner with EMLL, Promo Azteca, AAA and UWA. The difference between rudos and technicos (rule breakers and/or wrestlers with unorthodox styles and wrestlers with technical and/or traditional mat skills, respectively) is also defined in this report. Next week's report will focus on the importance and sacred status of the mask in lucha libre.

Eddie Guerrero retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Ultimo Dragon.

Curt Hennig retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit. Vincent, Buff Bagwell and Konnan show up and attack Benoit after the match, then "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair makes a surprise appearance and fights all of them off before chasing Curt Hennig to the back and into the street at high speed, but Hennig is long gone by the time Flair is out of the arena. Flair heads back to the entrance ramp and is interviewed by "Mean" Gene Okerlund, and he grabs the microphone and tells Okerlund - and the fans - that he is taking this to the center of the ring as it's time to talk reality. He says that everybody in their adult lifetime should have a moment like this, and he calls out The Wolfpack (Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Syxx) and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, telling them that this reality before saying that he has been put through hell and is still here tonight, much to their dismay. He says that he is Minneapolis, Minnesota born and bred, and that he will die Minneapolis dead. He tells Hennig and Hogan that since they have become the focus of his life, he tells them it's not about politics as they've wanted him out for ten years and that it's not about being the best as there has never been one better than him. He tells Hennig he is nWo for three more weeks and not for life, as at Halloween Havoc, he will come for Hennig whether WCW books it or not and that he will come to hurt him for a long time before coming for whatever is left of Hogan, saying he will have him in his face until they square off on Nitro.
