Raw Deal - Raw recap for March 22, 2021

Bobby Lashley beats Sheamus with the Hurt Lock. During the match, Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin show up to watch from ringside, and Cedric's involvement almost costs Lashley the match mid-way through. It ends up paying dividends in the end, however, when Lashley hits Sheamus with a spinebuster before getting the win with the Hurt Lock. After the match, Cedric and Shelton attack Sheamus, then Drew McIntyre shows up and beats Cedric and Sheamus up before having a staredown with Lashley, who is held back by MVP, who tells Lashley to wait until WrestleMania as McIntyre dares Lashley to hit him.

Backstage, Bobby Lashley chews out Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin, saying he did not need their help, and MVP tells them that they tarnished Lashley's image and made it look like he could not beat Sheamus on his own. He also calls their tag team title loss an embarrassment, and says that by embarrassing themselves, they embarrass Lashley. MVP then tells them to think about what to do to redeem themselves.

Asuka beats Peyton Royce with the Asuka Lock. After the match, Rhea Ripley shows up and says Asuka is one of the greatest Women's Champions in WWE history and has proved her point, then mentions that Charlotte Flair is not here and recovering from COVID-19. She then tells Asuka that she needs an answer, and challenges her to a championship match at WrestleMania. Asuka tells Ripley she is not ready for her, then accepts her challenge.

Backstage, Adam Pearce meets with Drew McIntyre, who says that he could not stand idly by while Sheamus was attacked earlier. Pearce then says that Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin want a 2-on-1 handicap match with McIntyre tonight. McIntyre raises the stakes, and proposes that if Cedric and Shelton lose against him, they will be banned from ringside at WrestleMania, as Bobby Lashley will do anything to win the WWE title and will do anything to defend the WWE title.

Wrestlemania 37 is 19 days away!

Rhea Ripley vs. Asuka for the WWE Raw Women's Championship is official for WrestleMania.

It's time for a WrestleMania edition of Miz TV. The Miz says he has had a grueling and strenuous last few weeks, and that the last thing he needed was to be made fun of by Damian Priest and Bad Bunny. Miz asks Bad Bunny who he thinks he is, saying it is one thing to do special performance but another thing to hang on, hang out with Damian Priest and show zero respect towards him, and reminds Bad Bunny that he is a two-time Grand Slam Champion. Miz says he has been the backbone of WWE for over 15 years while John Morrison is a multiple-time Intercontinental and tag team champion, yet he and Morrison still do not get the respect they deserve, as Bad Bunny is on the WrestleMania poster and they are not. Miz says that last week was his final straw, and says that if Bad Bunny wanted his attention, he got it and a whole lot more. After a replay of Miz hitting Bad Bunny in the back with Elias' guitar, Miz says this is not just a lesson to Bad Bunny, but any musician or actor who think they can waltz on into WWE, do what he and Morrison do, and walk all over them. Miz then announces that next week on a special edition of The Dirt Sheet, there will be a new song dedicated to Bad Bunny on Raw called "Hey Hey Hop Hop," which is briefly previewed prior to its world premiere next week. Miz says that next week will be the last time Bad Bunny's name is heard before his career crashes like Vanilla Ice's, as Bad Bunny will find out this is The Miz's domain and that WrestleMania will be a living nightmare, as he is challenging him to a match on that night. He then says that he will end Bad Bunny's entire career, and that his match up next against Jeff Hardy will be a preview of what will happen to him.

Before the next match, Jeff Hardy tells The Miz that he knows he cannot beat him by himself and that John Morrison is always there to bail him out, and says that if The Miz were a real man, Morrison would head to the back right now. Morrison heads to the back.

The Miz beats Jeff Hardy. After the match, The Miz has a guitar smashed into his back from behind by Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny then tells Miz "I accept your challenge, bitch!"

Backstage, Matt Riddle calls "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles "Skipper" as he rides past on his scooter, then Styles tells Omos he feels inspired to make The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) look bad tonight.

The Miz vs. Bad Bunny is official for WrestleMania.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Omos head to the ring. Styles says that he and Omos will beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships, saying they cannot lose with his wisdom and experience and with Omos' strength and colossal size. Suddenly, The New Day shows up. Kofi Kingston says that AJ Styles and Omos are no team and are just a small man trying to overcompensate for his lack of size and hides behind a giant whom he commands to do his evil bidding. Woods tells Omos that Styles will bring him down and reminds him that he does not even need to be pinned to lose the match, and Kofi and Woods ask Styles a few questions about Omos to see if he knows him. Styles gets none of them right. Woods asks Omos how he can even trust Styles if Styles doesn't even know his favorite color, and Styles dares The New Day to get in the ring so he can give them a taste of what will happen at WrestleMania.

We get a closer look at the New World Order in its initial WCW incarnation, courtesy of CarMax.

Kofi Kingston beats "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles by countering the Phenomenal Forearm with the S.O.S. as Omos slowly chases Xavier Woods around the ring.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Sheamus, who says that he does not run from a fight and lives for the fight when asked why he faced Bobby Lashley tonight, and says that Drew McIntyre helped him out of respect even though he cannot stand him. Suddenly, Matt Riddle shows up and asks Sheamus if the Loch Ness Monster exists and if leprechauns are real. Sheamus asks Riddle if the scooter is easy to ride, then hits Riddle in the gut with his own scooter.

Drew McIntyre beats The Hurt Business (Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander) in a 2-on-1 handicap match. As per pre-match stipulation, Shelton and Cedric are barred from ringside when Drew McIntyre takes on Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

Backstage, MVP chews out Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander for losing to Drew McIntyre, then Bobby Lashley shows up and says that if they can't get the job done, he will find someone who does. Lashley and MVP head to the locker room, and Lashley offers a shot at the WWE Championship to anybody who can take McIntyre out before WrestleMania.

Lana and Naomi guest on commentary for the next match.

Nia Jax and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler beat Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke following the distraction by both Shayna and Reginald.

We hear from Alexa Bliss, who tells Randy Orton that she is still in Orton's life, and so is The Fiend. She then tells Orton to be careful what he wishes for tonight.

Shane McMahon, Elias and Jaxson Ryker are in the ring. Shane chews Elias out for not getting the job done with Braun Strowman last night, then says Elias has had time to prepare for their rematch tonight. Shane and Elias then perform a song called "Braun Is Stupid." Strowman shows up and says nothing will stop the beating that is coming for him, then has a little song for Elias called "The Man Who Got These Hands."

We look back on The Rock vs. Hollywood Hogan from WrestleMania X8, courtesy of Snickers.

Braun Strowman beats Elias. After the match, Shane McMahon hits Strowman in the back with a crutch, but it has no effect and Shane McMahon runs to the stage, revealing he is not hurt. Strowman notes this as he says he has had enough of Shane, and says that he will end this before asking Shane if he is man enough to face him-on-one, as he wants him one-on-one at WrestleMania. Shane accepts, saying he will beat him in any match Strowman wants because Strowman is stupid.

Randy Orton heads to the ring with a black bag. Orton says it seems like only yesterday that he watched The Fiend burn alive, but it seems he did not finish the job, for at Fastlane, he could smell burnt flesh and he could see an abomination. He says that tonight, he will finish the job, and and after tonight, there will be no Alexa Bliss and no Fiend and "the bullshit will come to an end." Suddenly, Alexa Bliss shows up. Alexa Bliss carries a red-and-black striped box with a pentagram and "Let Me In" on it and tells Orton to be careful what he wishes for. We then learn this box is a jack-in-the-box, and after Alexa turns the crank, the lights go out. Flames shoot out of the corners of the ring, and The Fiend is now in the ring with Randy Orton. Orton pulls a can of gasoline out of the black bag and throws gas at The Fiend, who remains completely unmoved. Orton then produces a box of matches, but when The Fiend approaches him, he hits him with an RKO. Alexa then gets in the ring, and as Orton is focused on her, The Fiend gets back up. Orton notices this and runs at The Fiend, but The Fiend applies the Mandible Claw and hits Orton with Sister Abigail. Alexa then points at the WrestleMania sign. Randy Orton vs. The Fiend is official for WrestleMania.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 18, 2021

WWE acknowledges Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

We hear from Randy Orton, who mentions that the people who fight fire with fire end up with the ashes of those responsible for their affliction. He is soon seen wearing an old-school wrestling mask, and he says the voices in his head have never been louder. He also says that his voices encapsulate his every thought like his mask encapsulates his face, and when Alexa Bliss wanted him to set her on fire, he showed a compassionate side that he did not know existed. After watching the ending to Raw from three weeks ago, he says that the pure hatred he had for himself needed to be redirected, and his next victim arrived like a lamb to the slaughter until Alexa Bliss interrupted. He says that the burns on his face are what he receives for his compassion, and whenever he closes his eyes, he sees the fireball that Alexa Bliss threw at him. Orton says the inescapable feeling of the fire burning his flesh will never go away, then says he wears a mask to protect not just himself but everyone else from the horror that he endured. He says that the agony he felt that would mortify a lesser man, he considers lucky to have only suffered first-degree burns and that his face could have been disfigured forever, then blames The Fiend, not Alexa Bliss, for this. Orton says there is no doubt The Fiend is responsible for this, and that Alexa was merely a vehicle. He says The Fiend wants to stop him from achieving the inevitable: another Royal Rumble victory. Orton says he knows everyone in the locker room enjoyed seeing his face get burned, knowing their biggest threat may be eliminated, but even having his limbs cut off will not stop him, for despite his affliction, he will still be in the men's Royal Rumble match. He says he can still compete as long as he can tolerate the pain, but admits that he actually enjoys the pain, as it fuels his every move. He then lights a match after saying everyone can thank The Fiend for their Royal Rumble dreams being burned to ashes as he wins. Orton then blows the match out.

In footage from earlier today, Lacey Evans and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair are interviewed by Charly Caruso. Lacey Evans is protective of his relationship with Ric Flair, and says he is the dirtiest player in the game and that he is learning from one of the best in the business.

Bobby Lashley tells Riddle that he likes his flip flops, then says they are bad for his feet before stomping the toes on his left foot.

Backstage, The Lucha House Party (Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik) are concerned for Matt Riddle, who says that he will tape his toes up and be good to go for their match tonight.

In footage from earlier today, who says that Xavier Woods sitting home with a broken jaw is not enough, and he wants to break both his heart and his spirit. He says that he hopes Woods' jaw injury will keep him from being in the men's Royal Rumble, then says he is still upset that Kofi Kingston took the opportunity that was his some time ago.

Mace beats Xavier Woods after the rest of Retribution (Mustafa Ali, T-Bar, Slapjack) surrounds the ring. At the start of the match, Woods punches Mustafa Ali in the face for mouthing off at him.

It's time for Alexa's Playground. Tonight's guest is Asuka. When the show starts, Alexa tells Randy Orton she just wanted to talk to him last week, but then things got a little heated. Alexa then introduces Asuka to the segment. After it is mentioned that Alexa has an invisible friend on the other swing of the swingset, Alexa says she wants to have some fun, and declares her entry into the women's Royal Rumble match. Asuka wishes Alexa luck, then Alexa says that if she wins, they could possibly face each other at WrestleMania. Asuka loves the idea, saying she is a big friend of Alexa's. Alexa cringes when Asuka says "Yowie Wowie" and dances to her entrance theme. Alexa forcefully tells her to stop dancing, then gets sad and blames herself for the death of The Fiend. When Asuka tries to console her and mentions The Fiend, Alexa tells her not to say his name, then the nearby rocking horse moves on its own and Asuka leaves.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews The Miz and John Morrison. Miz and Morrison mock Sarah for wanting to know what to expect from The Dirt Sheet tonight, and Miz says that there will be controversy.

Backstage, "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler brags about making Mandy Rose tap out before tossing her out of the ring, then says she will do it again tonight before saying she will toss everyone out in the women's Royal Rumble, much to the chagrin of Nia Jax.

She says that while she has learned from the dirtiest player in the game, but she has never gone down that path. As she says that she should rethink going that path, Lacey says that while she can wear her robe, she can never wear her crown.

Backstage, Adam Pearce talks with Ricochet, who tells him that a win can go a long way towards an opportunity. Ricochet hopes to start his road to WrestleMania. Suddenly, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Omos show up. AJ asks who would take advice from Adam Pearce after Pearce tucked his tail and ran from Roman Reigns, then says Ricochet will lose but will still keep his dignity. Ricochet mentions Styles' loss at TLC, then says it will take more than a seven-foot-tall giant to stop him. After Ricochet heads to the ring, Styles tells Pearce he does not like him anymore, and says that if he does not like him, then neither does Omos.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles beats Ricochet after slamming Ricochet into the top rope, causing Ricochet to rebound off the rope and Styles to catch him for the Styles Clash for the win. (Had Ricochet won the match, he would have entered the men's Royal Rumble match.)

It's time for The Dirt Sheet. Tonight's guest is Goldberg. Instead of Goldberg, however, Gillberg shows up. When asked how he is preparing for the big match, Gillberg says he bashes his head into the wall because he is so pumped up. Suddenly, Drew McIntyre's entrance theme hits, then another man dressed mockingly like McIntyre shows up. After placing a dagger that mocks McIntyre's sword, the fake McIntyre says he is here to meet Gillberg face-to-face, then says he will kick Gillberg's ass back to 1998 before going back home to eat some haggis. Suddenly, the show briefly goes off the rails when the fake McIntyre does not have a fake accent and comes from New Jersey, then Miz and Morrison says there are two losers in the ring because Miz will cash in the Money In The Bank briefcase and become WWE Champion.

We hear from Drew McIntyre, who says that he had a laugh at tonight's edition of The Dirt Sheet and that he still cannot be here tonight, and while he respects Goldberg despite putting words in his mouth and showing him the real him, he wants the real Goldberg. He says that if he does not get the real Goldberg, he will eat him alive in two minutes. McIntyre then announces that he will come back to Raw next week.

Jeff Hardy beats Jaxson Ryker by disqualification after Elias is caught knocking Jeff Hardy off the top rope. It is announced before the match that Jeff Hardy will be in the men's Royal Rumble match. After the match, Elias and Jeff Hardy have another misunderstanding, and when Jeff Hardy attacks Elias, Jaxson Ryker makes him pay for it by plowing him into the mat.

She says that she has tried to break The Fiend's hold on her, but nothing has worked and Alexa has clearly chosen The Fiend. She says the last straw was when Alexa attacked her, and when that happened, their friendship was done.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 17, 2020

Technical difficulties occur during the WWE "Then, Now, Forever" intro screen at the beginning of the show.

Drew McIntyre shows up to start tonight's show. McIntyre talks about how Randy Orton brutalized "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair last week even after Flair told him he loved him, and calls Orton "pure evil" for his actions. He tells Orton that at SummerSlam, he will not face an old man; he will face a pissed-off 6'5" Scottish He tells Orton that at SummerSlam, he will not face an old man; he will face a pissed-off 6'5" Scottish fire-breathing dragon who will get revenge for everyone Orton has wronged. As McIntyre tells Orton he will become a human weapon, technical difficulties occur. It is revealed that Retribution is attacking the production crew. The show suddenly cuts to black.

Backstage, Drew McIntyre talks to the locker room. He says that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is okay, but that Randy Orton will not be. He then says that he is sick and tired of Retribution, and proposes everyone band together to stop them. Seth Rollins laughs, and says that while Retribution is a problem, Raw has a messiah who is already capable of leading the locker room, but McIntyre says if the locker room doesn't respect him now, they never will. Rollins says the WWE Championship does not make one a leader or a teacher, that he was the first person to teach him how to be champion, and that he taught Dominik Mysterio what it is like to be a Superstar. Ricochet and Cedric Alexander both tell Seth that Rey Mysterio is going to be here and beat him tonight, and Seth responds by telling McIntyre that he could not even protect Flair. When McIntyre threatens to drop Rollins where he stands, Murphy steps in-between them, and the rest of the locker room have to cool down the situation.

MVP, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin show up. MVP says that while Drew McIntyre is in the back "setting up some sort of buddy system," he says that "The Hurt Business" is open for business. He says he knows what is going on and is calling Retribution out while the rest of the locker room is waiting for them to strike. He says that Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin are the definition of "tough," then questions who benefits most from the actions of Retribution before saying it is Apollo Crews, Ricochet, Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali. MVP also accuses Apollo of coming up with Retribution after Lashley injured him, as Retribution showed up at the same time he faced Apollo for the WWE United States Championship, saying it was a ploy to win his custom-made United States Championship belt. Apollo shows up, saying he knew MVP would be making excuses and that it is low of him to call him the mastermind of Retribution. He also says MVP cannot beat him for the United States title without help. MVP tells Apollo that his career has had "more starts and stops than a raggedy used car," and that Apollo fears losing the United States Championship because he will go back to catering if he does. Apollo admits that is true and says if he were like MVP, he would be part of "The Hurt Business." MVP says if he were like him, he would know this is business, but Apollo interrupts him and proposes some business of his own. Apollo proposes that he and Shelton Benjamin have a match, and if he wins, Shelton and Lashley will be banned from ringside at SummerSlam. MVP says he needs no excuses for SummerSlam, then sics Shelton on Apollo.

Apollo Crews beats Shelton Benjamin with a jackknife pin. During the match, R-Truth runs in and out of the ringside area while Akira Tozawa and his ninjas chase after him. Apollo wins with a jackknife pin on a distracted Shelton, then MVP, Shelton and Bobby Lashley attack Apollo. Ricochet, Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali run in to make the save. It takes Ricochet and Mustafa Ali to break Lashley's full nelson - now known as "The Full Lashley" - on Cedric, and they and Apollo force MVP, Shelton and Lashley to retreat. Afterwards, R-Truth runs back down the ramp only to be laid out by Shelton Benjamin, who pins R-Truth to win the WWE 24/7 Championship a second time. MVP says they will not go out like they did, and tells Apollo to find two tag team partners and take on him, Shelton and Lashley in a six-man tag team match later tonight.

Backstage, Angel Garza is talking to Demi Burnett of The Bachelor backstage when Ivar shows up and hands Demi a turkey leg before asking her to be his "+1" at Raw Underground. After Demi accepts, Ivar says that Garza did not poison the turkey leg this time. Garza insists he did not poison Montez Ford last week when Demi asks about it, then tells Ivar he will beat him tonight as he smacks the turkey leg out of Demi's hands. Ivar hands Demi another turkey leg and tells Garza "You'd better put some respect on that name."

It is announced that WWE will introduce the "Thunderdome" on SummerSlam weekend, which will give an all-new virtual fan experience that will bring the fans to the arena virtually.

Angel Garza beats Ivar. After the match, Angelo Dawkins and Demi Burnett show up on the TitanTron, and say they cannot wait to see their tag team title match at SummerSlam. Dawkins then proceeds to show some video footage, and Garza runs to the back when the TitanTron goes black. Zelina Vega and Andrade ask commentary what is going on, and Samoa Joe implies that there may be footage of Zelina and her crew poisoning Montez Ford. Zelina and Andrade head to the back.

We look back on The British Bulldog vs. Bret "The Hit Man" Hart for the WWF Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam 1992, courtesy of Sonic Drive-In.

We see photos of the welts from 30 Kendo stick shots given to him by Seth Rollins and Murphy from last week.

Backstage, Angel Garza shows up as Angelo Dawkins tries to get Demi Burnett's number and tries to show her the video. When Charly Caruso shows up to see what is going on, the video is shown. We then see backstage footage of Zelina Vega looking around near Montez Ford's red Solo cup before running away. Zelina says the video proves nothing and is edited, then accuses Charly of being behind it all because she is jealous of Demi. Angelo Dawkins cut her off, saying he knows she poisoned Montez and that it is taking a lot of restraint to give Zelina, Andrade and Garza what they deserve, as Montez Ford wants the smoke. Suddenly, Montez Ford runs in, and he and Dawkins beat up Andrade and Garza.

Natalya beats Mickie James by count-out following the distraction by Lana. Seth Rollins wants Samoa Joe to tell him how he knows for sure that Rey Mysterio is here tonight. Rollins then asks what incentive he has to trust him, but Samoa Joe says nothing. After the match, Mickie James takes out Lana, and Seth Rollins says that if Rey and Dominik Mysterio are here tonight, it will be the last mistake they will make and that neither of them will make it to SummerSlam.

Before the next match, Sasha Banks that when you have all the gold, it is enough to break anybody. She then mentions both her and Bayley having to face Asuka at SummerSlam. Bayley says she has had a few days to think about, then says she cannot wait for SummerSlam. She says that SummerSlam will be a day off for them, as Asuka cannot beat them. Sasha Banks agrees, then asks who will beat Asuka first. Bayley says she will carry the heavy load and beat Asuka first so that Sasha Banks can tap Asuka out without breaking a sweat. Sasha then says they will celebrate, as nobody can beat them, and asks who the losers will be tonight. As Bayley and Sasha Banks laugh about Kairi Sane not being here anymore, Shayna Baszler shows up and says that she has whoever is champion after SummerSlam next. Asuka then shows up and says that tonight, she will both Sasha and Bayley with Shayna Baszler, saying Shayna has to fight with her first before she has to fight against her, Asuka and Baszler then run Sasha and Bayley out of the ring.

Asuka and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler beat Sasha Banks and Bayley following a Kirifuda Clutch to Bayley after Asuka puts the Asuka Lock on Sasha at ringside. During the match, Nia Jax attacks Baszler from behind the barricade, and as Pat Buck and three referees force Nia Jax to the back, Baszler throws down with Nia Jax behind the barricade. This effectively turns the match into a two-on-one handicap match. Baszler comes back to break up a Banks Statement later in the match.

Backstage, Apollo Crews thanks Cedric Alexander, Ricochet and Mustafa Ali for having his back against MVP, and says that he has picked Mustafa and Ricochet as his partners due to Bobby Lashley putting Cedric in the Full Lashley. After they leave, Randy Orton shows up.

Backstage, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels meets with Randy Orton, saying that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair meant a lot to everybody but that Orton will use his rage and frustration against him. Shawn tells McIntyre to refocus, as he has gone way too far and done way too much to become WWE Champion. McIntyre thanks Shawn for working with him in NXT, but feels he has let him down. Shawn tells him he has not, but that there is no stopping him. He says that the road for him will be tough, but that the road was made for Drew McIntyre and that the Drew he knew would never quit. Shawn tells McIntyre to show who he really is at SummerSlam, then asks McIntyre to give him his space as he confronts Orton in the ring tonight.

Backstage, The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) mock Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan, an Billie Kay says Peyton Royce will take her place in her match tonight. After Peyton calls Liv "trash," Ruby threatens to drop Peyton where she stands. Liv holds her back, and she and Ruby leave. After that, The IIconics notice that Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke are talking with "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler.

We see a video package chronicling Retribution's actions over the past two weeks.

Peyton Royce beats Ruby Riott following the distraction from Billie Kay.

It's time for Raw Underground. Erik dominates another opponent, then Shane McMahon interviews Dolph Ziggler, who calls Erik's performance "a four out of ten." This leads to Erik calling out Ziggler, which Ziggler accepts. Ziggler goes for a single leg takedown, but Erik punches him in the face and soon begins to overpower him, but Ziggler roars back into it and puts Erik in a sleeper before putting a thumb in his eyes. Ziggler wins. Afterwards, Ivar shoves Ziggler off the ropeless mat and into the nearby crowd.

Rey and Dominik Mysterio show up. Rey says the only word that he can think of after last week is "pain" due to what Seth Rollins has done not only to him, but to Dominik, and says that is has made him feel a rage that he has never felt before. Rey felt he wanted to protect his son Dominik and take the beating himself so that Dominik did not have to suffer. He admits that he may not have fully recovered from what happened to his eye, but says no doctor on Earth will stop him from protecting his son. Rey tells Rollins that he will not repeat what he did to Dominik, because at SummerSlam, he will be in Dominik's corner and watch Dominik kick his ass in a Street Fight. Dominik thanks his dad, but says he knows what he was in for when he signed the contract and that he knows what he must do to defend his family, and that he will be ready. Rey tells Dominik he is proud of him and his fight, determination and will to defend the family name, and if Rollins is anywhere nearby tonight, he will not make it to SummerSlam. Rollins and Murphy soon show up on the TitanTron, and says that while he did not take Rey as an idiot, he finds it odd that he is putting his son in danger, saying Rey is doing it for his own benefit as he calls him "selfish." He also says that Rey keeps putting himself and Dominik in situations with him, and that all of it would have been prevented if Rey accepted his role in the greater good. Rollins then says neither of them have learned, and that the Mysterio legacy will become the ultimate sacrifice. Rey tells Rollins that he has big words and that he should come to the ring to back them up, but Rollins laughs and says he asked for it. Rollins tells Rey not to move an inch, then he and Murphy head to the ring. Rey and Dominik leave the ring as Rollins and Murphy enter, and as Rey has Rollins and Murphy distracted, Dominik attacks from behind with Kendo sticks. Rey joins in on the Kendo stick attack, and Seth Rollins becomes the victim of multiple Kendo stick strikes. They try to tie Rollins up in the ropes, but Rollins is able to escape along with Murphy.

Backstage, MVP meets with Cedric Alexander, saying that Apollo Crews, Mustafa Ali and Ricochet are getting in his way. Cedric says that Apollo is looking out for his best interest, but MVP says Apollo may consider Cedric the weakest link. He also implies that Ricochet has an ego from calling himself "The One and Only," then tells him that he made an offer some time ago and that the offer still stands, and that he should think about it.

It's time for more Raw Underground. Arturo Ruas takes on Riddick Moss in the ropeless ring, and after a close match, both men roll to the outside only to be harassed by the crowd. After they pick a fight with the crowd, the match is over.

Montez Ford beats Andrade with a schoolkid pin after Zelina Vega leaps off the ring apron only to be grabbed and slammed by Bianca Belair at ringside.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels shows up. Shawn says that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair loved performing in the ring, and without him, there would be no Heartbreak Kid, no Triple H, no Batista, no Edge, no Big Show, no Drew McIntyre and no Randy Orton. He states that Orton does not have the same appreciation for Flair as everyone else, despite having him as a mentor and teacher for years, and assures that at SummerSlam, Orton will meet his justice and he will see it coming. As Shawn leaves the ring, he is hit by an RKO out of nowhere followed by a punt to the head by Orton. Drew McIntyre runs into the ring, but Orton runs through the barricade. As McIntyre and a referee check on Shawn, Orton returns to blindside McIntyre, but McIntyre sees it coming and beats Orton up.

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

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 10, 2020

In memory of "Kamala" James Harris, 1950 - 2020.

Samoa Joe moderates a contract to start tonight's show. Seth Rollins is introduced first, followed by Dominik Mysterio. Dominik shows up with a Kendo stick as he slowly walks down the ramp and enters the ring. Rollins questions Dominik's brandishing of a Kendo stick, then Joe takes it and says the Kendo stick is safer with him, then Joe says that what Rollins is doing is sad, as he should be seeing a great Superstar, but instead he sees a Superstar caught up in his own feelings. He says that Rollins has given someone with little to no training no choice but to face him in the ring, but Rollins says he gave Dominik, Rey Mysterio and Aleister Black choices only for them to make the wrong ones. Rollins says he is the only person who has been given no choice, and he says that while he does not play the victim card, he has been forced into this situation as he got crapped on by everyone in WWE when he was "Monday Night Rollins." Rollins then asks when it will be enough for anybody, but Dominik says it will never be enough, for Rollins makes excuses for everything he has done as he has fought only for himself. Rollins calls Dominik "ungrateful" for the dream he has given him, but Dominik says his dream is to kick Rollins' ass at SummerSlam. Rollins laughs, then says Dominik would not last ten seconds in a standard one-on-one match with him. He then decides to do Dominik a favor, as Dominik seems to be handy with a Kendo stick, and proposes that Dominik can bring it with him and use it - or anything in the toolbox - as he sees fit to prove Dominik has no excuse when he ends his career before it begins. Rollins signs the contract, as does Dominik, then Rollins asks for a round of applause for "WWE's newest Superstar" before telling him to get out of the ring, pay his dues and takes some notes as he takes on Humberto Carrillo.

Seth Rollins beats Humberto Carrillo despite Dominik Mysterio stopping Murphy from interfering in the match. After the match, Murphy attacks Dominik, then sends him into the ring at Rollins' command so he and Murphy can take the boots to him. Dominik elbows Murphy, then goes after Rollins, but the numbers game catches up. Murphy then grabs the Kendo stick and hands it to Rollins, who then strikes Dominik with the Kendo stick. Murphy then removes Dominik's shirt, and Rollins continues to hit Dominik with the Kendo stick, leaving welts. Rollins and Murphy then tie Dominik in the ropes, and Rollins continues to strike Dominik as he looks in the camera and mocks Rey Mysterio, telling him to beg for mercy for his son like a coward. At Rollins' command, Murphy produces more Kendo stick from underneath the ring, and Rollins allows Murphy to take part in the proceedings and strike Murphy in the back from ringside. Rollins and Murphy then take turns striking Dominik. After a few more Kendo stick strikes, Rollins asks Dominik if he wants to be a man before attempting The Stomp. Rollins stops short when Dominik collapses in the middle of the ring.

We see a video package of the actions of the people clad in all black from the last week, who are now collectively known as "Retribution."

Before the next match, Zelina Vega says everyone has forgotten the saying of "innocent until proven guilty," and says she had nothing to do with Montez Ford's poisoning last week, as she did not want to ruin the most important match of her men's careers. She says that she does not thrive off her men's success; she creates it, and that Bianca Belair could learn a thing to learn from her. Zelina reiterates she has nothing to do with Montez Ford's poisoning and says that while Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) want the smoke, she and her men want the Raw tag team titles.

We see a preview for "Game On!" on Netflix, starring Big Show.

Angelo Dawkins beats Montez Ford after Zelina Vega gets on the ring apron and Bianca Belair shows up to yank her off. After the match, Bianca Belair goes after Zelina Vega.

On the subject of Montez Ford's condition, Angelo Dawkins says there is no way Montez Ford will miss SummerSlam in two weeks.

It's time for The VIP Lounge. MVP says this is a different episode and that he is not in a celebratory mood, stating that he wants to pop people in the mouth while Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin wants to pop ligaments and tendons. MVP says he knew a conspiracy was going on after the events caused by Retribution took place, and asks how he can win a championship in unsafe working conditions, and says the lights beat him, not Apollo Crews. As MVP blames Apollo Crews for the malfunctions going on, Apollo shows up and says that MVP is always making excuses for his failures before stating MVP is the real one hurting now that he has his custom-made championship. MVP calls Apollo Crews a chronic bad decision maker, but Apollo Crews says he is allowed to make bad decisions because he is a bad man, and says that if MVP doesn't care about him or his family, then he does not care about Lashley or Shelton. He then says he cares about MVP, and says that the only lights going out will be his at SummerSlam. Apollo then clears the ring and throws one of the couches in the ring over the top rope.

Shelton Benjamin beats Apollo Crews with a schoolkid pin following the distraction by MVP. After the match, Bobby Lashley puts Apollo in the full nelson, but MVP stops him, saying he needs Apollo healthy for SummerSlam. Apollo returns the favor with an enzuigiri to MVP after Lashley lets him go.

It is reported that a cinder block has been thrown through a glass window at the WWE Performance Center, and footage of this act is shown.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Mickie James, who announces that she has championship gold on her mind. Suddenly, Lana and Natalya show up in matching outfit and boast about how good they are at Tiktok and winning matches, respectively. After they call themselves "BOATs" (short for "Best of all time"), Mickie James remind them that while they are good, "BOATs" sink.

As Ivar talks to a young woman about his competitions with The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford), Erik, Cedric Alexander and Ricochet show up to remind him they have a match up next. The young woman apologizes, then says Ivar is cute, while Erik...not so much.

The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik), Ricochet and Cedric Alexander beat Akira Tozawa and three ninjas after one of the ninjas is reluctant. As Tozawa and the reluctant ninja head to the back, a referee shows up. The reluctant ninja pins Tozawa with a schoolkid pin and wins the WWE 24/7 Championship before revealing themselves to be R-Truth, who has won the title for the 38th time.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Drew McIntyre. McIntyre says that Randy Orton keeps his knowledge to himself due to self-preservation, as he wants to stay on top of WWE as long as he can, and that he will take the torch from him and kick him in the head as hard as he can, as evolution has passed him by. On the subject of Kevin Owens potentially taking the torch from Orton tonight, McIntyre says that if he does, he and Owens will have a long talk about the future after tonight.

Before the next match, The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) mock Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott's reunion, and say that they have shaped their IIconic futures as Liv and Ruby have campaigned to be drama queens.

Peyton Royce beats Liv Morgan after Ruby Riott gets on the ring apron and gets stopped by the referee after Billie Kay tries to assist Peyton during the match.

It's time for Raw Underground. Riddick Moss and Cal Bloom are having a match, and the match leaves the ring briefly. Both men are evenly matched, but Riddick Moss goes for the eyes, hits a headbutt and knocks Cal Bloom out.

When nobody wants to get in the ring with her, Shayna tosses her own opponent into the ring and pounds on her. Other women try to make the save, but Shayna fends them off even as they all come at her at once.

Outside of the WWE Performance Center, Retribution have toppled a car.

Randy Orton beats Kevin Owens. After the match, Randy Orton asks "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair to stay put, as they have something to celebrate. After the commercial break, Orton says he has every right to be upset with him, but he cannot, as he cannot find it in his heart. He says he only faced Kevin Owens because Flair's ego got him into it, but it is just what Flair does. Orton says that he has grown up with Flair and that Flair has been there for him for the last twenty years, then asks Flair if he remembers when he got him out of a jam years ago before saying he does not love or respect him anymore due to his being a liability. He then says that Flair took him under his wing to make him the son he wished he had, and says that all Flair is good for is crying as he is not the man people looked up to years ago, as the Flair he knows would not be frail, weak and a spotlight junkie. Orton says that Flair is only concerned about himself and not his eventual 14th WWE Championship win, but Flair takes the microphone, says he is taking this personally, then admits he is not the man he used to be. Orton also admits that he loves the spotlight, and says he wants to be there when Orton breaks his own championship record, as he is the one to do it. He says he loves being with Orton, and says he cannot be mad because after 31 days of intensive care, all he wanted was to tell the people he appreciated he loved them. Orton hugs Flair, then hits in him the groin when he turns around. Orton backs up into the corner, then punts Flair in the head as the lights flicker in and out. Drew McIntyre runs into the ring and chases Orton out before checking on Flair.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 3, 2019

Roman Reigns shows up to start tonight's show. Suddenly, Shane McMahon shows up. After ring announce Mike Rome gives Shane what Shane considers "a proper introduction," Shane says he cannot wait to shut Roman up on Friday and prove he is the best in the world. He then says that making Roman submit with the triangle hold for the first time in Roman's career will not satisfy him, and he will refuse to let go until he is proclaimed the best in the world. Roman says he would love to see Shane make him tap out, and says he will pick him up and slam him through the mat if he tries, for he stands no chance against him and relies on help to win. After he is done with Shane, he will beat Drew McIntyre at Stomping Grounds. McIntyre then shows up. McIntyre tells Roman that his head is all over the place and that Shane will beat him at Super Showdown before he decimates and ends him at Stomping Grounds. McIntyre then says he has an idea, and after whispering into Shane's ear, he says that they will take him out right now. Suddenly, Roman is attacked from behind by The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder). The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) then run in and fight The Revival, then stand in the ring with Roman.

Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey are seen in the front row.

It's time for Miz TV with tonight's special guest Seth Rollins. Rollins says there is a chance that Brock Lesnar may not show up tonight, and that he does not trust Paul Heyman to tell the truth about Lesnar cashing in on him tonight, saying he will believe it when he sees it. He understands the gravity of the situation, but if Lesnar were to cash in tonight, he would be relieved and would be able to concentrate on what will be instead of what may be. While he does not like Baron Corbin, Corbin is still the #1 contender for the Universal Championship, and if he wants to be a fighting champion, he has to focus on retaining against Corbin in the ring. Suddenly, a black Chevy Suburban pulls up backstage, and Paul Heyman and Brock Lensar climb out and head to the ring. Before they head to the ring, they turn towards another part of the building, leading Rollins to wait some more.

Lars Sullivan shows up before the next match and fights The Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Lince Dorado, Gran Metalik), almost easily decimating them. However, The Lucha House Party soon send him out of the ring.

In the locker room, The IIconics make fun of Nikki Cross for teaming with Becky Lynch. Suddenly, Alexa Bliss shows up and asks them if they have a blooming onion to eat, but Peyton Royce says she has a match with Nikki to get ready for. Alexa Bliss offers Nikki to go get a coffee with her, then says nobody can stand her after all she has done. Nikki tells Alexa she has been nothing but nice for her, and Alexa tells Nikki she has her back.

Becky Lynch shows up. She says she has done some thinking and says it is time for some changes. After returning home for the first time in months and accomplishing a lot before then, she has never been more content in her entire life, but it has hit her that contentment is the worst thing that can happen as she can get hurt, passed over or beaten. She says that Charlotte Flair beating her for the SmackDown Women's Championship woke up something within her, and when she is pissed off, nothing can keep her done. She promises to get back at Lacey Evans even if it kills her, then Lacey Evans shows up. Lacey compares Becky Lynch to a dog chasing a car and having no idea what to do with it when she catches it, and as Lacey says Becky should not be the face of the women's division, Becky tells her to get in the ring with her. Lacey admits she lost against her, but says she is the reason Becky only has one title, and soon, she will make it so that Becky is "Becky No Belts" when she win's the Raw Women's Championship. Suddenly, Charlotte Flair shows up and tells Becky to stop making excuses as she beat her and became a nine-time women's champion. Becky asks Charlotte where her title it, and Lacey says Charlotte is only her because she is a daddy's girl. Charlotte says she is more than halfway to having as many championship reigns as her father, while Lacey has only been here four minutes and made tea. Lacey tells Charlotte she is yesterday's news while she is the face of WWE, then tells her to run along to SmackDown unless she wants to be educated with a woman's right. She then smacks her with the Woman's Right. Charlotte gets back up, and Becky leaves the ring so the match between Lacey and Charlotte can begin.

Charlotte Flair vs. Lacey Evans comes to an end when Becky Lynch knocks Charlotte off the apron and attacks Lacey Evans.

We look back on The Undertaker's debut at Survivor Series 1990, courtesy of Liberty Mutual Insurance.

Rey Mysterio shows up. He says he has been part of WWE for a very long time, and that it is in his blood and his family's blood to the point that he can share it with his son Dominic, who he is now training to do what he does so he can go down his own path. He then says he must set the right example and do the right thing both as a man and as a champion, and due to his previous shoulder injury, he is here to relinquish the WWE United States Championship. Samoa Joe suddenly shows up and says he knows why Rey is here, and then says Rey is really relinquishing the title because he never beat him, as both of his shoulders never touched the mat. Rey says he is not here to have a moment, and that he has won championships during his career through pain and injuries, and if he is man enough to do that, he is man enough to relinquish the title tonight. Rey then announces that he is relinquishing the title effectively to Samoa Joe before laying the title in front of Joe. He then tells Joe has not seen the last of him and that he will be back, but when he leaves, Joe puts him in the Coaquina Clutch.

We hear from Cesaro, who says that he will let his actions speak for themselves and that Ricochet is naive if he thinks he can beat him again. We then hear from Ricochet, who says that Cesaro's actions have always spoken for him, but he has beaten Cesaro a few times and he can beat him again.

Braun Strowman beats Bobby Lashley after a few false starts that involve Lashley hitting Strowman with a slap to the face and Lashley's hand slipping (which leads to both men dipping their hands in chalk). After the arm wrestling match, Strowman punches Lashley in the face. Lashley then throws chalk into Strowman's face before attacking him. Lashley then hits Strowman with a running powerslam.

We see footage of Jinder Mahal beating R-Truth for the WWE 24/7 Championship at a golf course only for R-Truth to win it back and escape for dear life with Carmella on a golf cart. We then go backstage, where Carmella is looking for R-Truth. EC3 and Drake Maverick follow Carmella from behind with a referee on their side, believing that if they follow Carmella, they will find R-Truth.

Nikki Cross beats Peyton Royce after the coffee that Alexa Bliss just received provides a distraction that allows Nikki to get a breather and the win. After the match, Alexa Bliss attacks Billie Kay from behind and beats her up.

Tomorrow night: an exclusive interview with Lars Sullivan on SmackDown Live!

Seth Rollins shows up. He says that he knew he would have a target on his chest when he won the Universal Championship, but the same thing is not happening with Brock Lesnar. Lesnar's music hits, but Lesnar and Paul Heyman do not show up. Rollins says that Lesnar is playing games and that he and the fans are sick of it, and he tells Lesnar that he used to be one of the most feared men in the world and is just a shadow of that. He says that if Lesnar is a man, he will cash in right now. Baron Corbin shows up instead, and says that Rollins should worry about him, not Lesnar. He says that Rollins is living his childhood dream, but he is the dream crusher and taking the Universal title. Rollins tells Corbin he will have to beat him first and take it from his cold, dead hands. Corbin says he has no problem doing that, having retired Kurt Angle, and plans to retire him, too. Rollins strikes Corbin, and both men then brawl. As they brawl, Lesnar's music hits, and Corbin hits a distracted Rollins with End of Days. Lesnar's music then hits again, and this time, Lesnar, Heyman and a referee show up so that Lesnar can cash in. Lesnar hits Rollins with a kick to the groin followed by a steel chair, then continues to attack Rollins while electing not to cash in just yet. When Heyman asks why Lesnar is not cashing in right now, Lesnar simply tells him "Friday." Lesnar then tosses the Universal title back to Rollins before leaving with Heyman and the referee. Halfway up the ramp, however, Lesnar changes his mind and hits Rollins with the Money In The Bank Briefcase before hitting him with the steel chair again. Lesnar then leaves with the Money In The Bank Briefcase along with Heyman and the referee. A medical team has to check on Rollins and put him on a stretcher.

After the commercial break, officials, medical staff and Rollins' girlfriend Becky Lynch get Rollins in the ambulance, and Becky rides with Rollins to a local medical facility.

In a very special episode of The Firefly Fun House, Bray Wyatt talks about exercise. As Wyatt talks about exercise, Huskus The Pig Boy is eating a bar of chocolate. Bray has to tell him that the excessiveness and gluttony can bite him in the tail, but he could be great one day and he could be a genius who has the whole world in his hands. Suddenly, a Vince McMahon puppet with devil horns bursts in and tells Bray and Huskus to get their act together or they will be fired. This leads to an exercise montage. After the montage, Huskus says he feels better already.

WWE COO Triple H shows up. Before he can talk about Randy Orton, Orton shows up. Triple H tells Orton it has been a while since he stared him in the eye, then says nothing either of them have to say hasn't been said before, and tells him he is coming to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to kick his ass. Orton says that sounds good to him, then tells Triple H is not the legend killer, not Batista, and he will gladly beat him on Friday and put another notch on his belt. Triple H finds it interesting that he predicted Orton's rise to the top of the business, and says that Orton is one of the best ever to step foot in the ring. He then says a lot of people have tried to put him down, but they are all gone and he is still here, and he tells Orton he is not the one. As Triple H leaves, Orton asks Triple H to promise him that he "retrieve his balls from Stephanie's purse" before facing him on Friday. Triple H gets back in the ring and says that is one hell of an idea because they are so big and a burden to carry around. He says he will see if he can carry them in carry-on in the overhead bin on the flight to Saudi Arabia, then says Orton has no idea about that because he's never had any. He then tells a corpsing Orton he'll see him in Jeddah.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Baron Corbin, who says he is shaken up and needs to leave...so he can celebrate Brock Lesnar putting Seth Rollins in the hospital and that he is the next Universal Champion.

Ricochet beats Cesaro. After the match, Cesaro attacks Ricochet from behind, then pulls out a table only to find out that R-Truth is laying on it. Carmella runs out, then a host of Superstars surround R-Truth. Drake Maverick approaches R-Truth from behind, but Carmella hits Maverick with a superkick before she and R-Truth run through the crowd away from all the other Superstars.

The Undertaker shows up. He asks the fans if they have ever thought about what it feels like to face death for the first time, then tells Goldberg that this Friday, he will find out what it is like. He then says he does not want Goldberg the family man; instead, he wants Goldberg the mythical icon. He then says that if Goldberg brings anything less, their first match will be Goldberg's last and he will open the gates of Hell and unleash a brutality he has never felt. He then says then when you hear the call of the reaper, you answer it for all eternity, then tells Goldberg that he is next.

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