Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 22, 2025

As LA Knight is backstage, Rusev is seen in the background threatening "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, much to the surprise of LA Knight.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Cody Rhodes says he would love to have another Crown Jewel Championship ring following a match against Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, who shows up almost as quickly with the rest of The Vision (Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed, Paul Heyman) as soon as Cody mentions him. Rollins enters the ring alone and says that the moment they both walked out of SummerSlam as champions, he had Crown Jewel circled on the calendar, and while they had hoops to jump through to get to this point, they are here. He says it should be as simple as the best man winning, but it is not, as it is him and Cody, and it is deeper and bigger than that. Rollins tells Cody he is good at reading people and that he knows what the fans, the locker room, the Internet and even the home viewers all think about him, and he does not give a damn. He proclaims that the people do not know what is good for them and do not have the right to make decisions as the fans chant "CM Punk," then says it is fortunately not about Punk because he does not have a championship. After stating he already knows what Punk thinks of him, he wants to know what Cody thinks of him, and wants the truth out of him. Cody admits it is complicated when it should not be, as Rollins has recently made some questionable choices, including receiving the services of Paul Heyman, but also admits that Cody has changed his life. He says that it was indirectly, but Rollins stood across from an opponent he did not know, and without his injury, he would not know what he was capable of. He also says that this and his help at WrestleMania 40 changed his life and career. He then asks Rollins what he thinks of himself, because Rollins could be not just one of the best, but the absolute best, on any given night, but that Rollins is not hiding behind The Vision. Cody sizes up the situation and asks Rollins what he can do for him, and Rollins mentions the watch on his left wrist that he gave him at WrestleMania 40, which he had not worn until tonight. He questions if the watch is a real gift or a token gesture, as Cody knows all the right things to say about him when it suits him, because in his next breath, he undermines everything that he stands for and states with a straight face that he is the right person to lead the future. He then asks what Cody then really thinks of him and thinks that Cody thinks lesser of him, then says that The Vision are not goons and are what the future of wrestling looks like in his image, and says that Cody will be his quarterback. Rollins says that regardless of what Cody thinks, the future will come out in three weeks and Cody will find out that he is "the alpha." Cody says that all three of their match were one-on-one, and wants to know if Crown Jewel will be the case. He also asks how many of those previous three matches he has won before walking off. Bronson and Breakker stand in front of Cody on his way out, and Cody is let by at the behest of Rollins.



Backstage, Jimmy Uso runs into "Main Event" Jey Uso, and says that what happened at Wrestlepalooza was trash and that he knows they can win, then mentions Jey making his own match with LA Knight and questions if it is a good idea in the state Jey is in. Jey says that they could have won if LA Knight were not the special guest referee, and that The Vision (Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed)could have taken care of him if Jimmy did not tag team with Knight. Jimmy takes exception to being blamed for this, but Jey says they have a lot to handle and they will handle it after he handles LA Knight.

The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) and Penta beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and Grayson Waller in a no-disqualification match following an avalanche Mexican Destroyer from Penta to Grayson Waller.



Backstage, Finn Balor is playing on a Nintendo Switch 2 with The Judgment Day (JD McDonagh, Roxanne Perez, Raquel Rodriguez) when "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up and mentions that things are getting out of control regarding Rusev. Balor tells Dominik to get help from El Grande Americano, but Dominik says Americano is back in Mexico. Dominik asks McDonagh for help, and after Roxanne Perez insists, McDonagh reluctantly helps Dominik, but says he will do this for The Judgment Day. Domink then tells McDonagh that everything is taken care of with General Manager Adam Pearce and that he has a match with Rusev tonight, then Roxanne and Raquel Rodriguez leave awkwardly and McDonagh has to tell Finn what is going on.

Backstage, Bayley catches up with Lyra Valkyria and acts as if her outburst never happened, saying Lyra did well last week and asking Lyra to be in her corner tonight. It becomes clear to Lyra that Bayley has forgotten about their history between them, but Lyra agrees. Bayley leaves, then Stephanie Vaquer walks by on her way to the ring.

General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring to introduce Stephanie Vaquer, who heads to the ring. After Pearce congratulates Vaquer, Vaquer says that being Women's World Champion has been her life's dream and admits that it felt impossible, but she worked and sacrificed for it and she made it real. She says she beat one of the best on the planet in Iyo Sky and learned to be strong and never give up because she had the best example and a hero in her father Hector, who is in the crowd tonight. She takes pride in being the first Latin American-born female champion in WWE history, and that the title represents all the support that the fans have given her, for which she thanks the fans. Vaquer proclaims that her fire will keep making history, and that nobody will stop her. Pearce then announces that at Crown Jewel, the winner of Friday's WWE Women's Championship Triple Threat Match on SmackDown will face Vaquer at Crown Jewel.



Backstage, Nikki Bella congratulates Stephanie Vaquer, as does Rhea Ripley, who states that she is still coming for the Women's World Championship. Vaquer says she looks forward to it, then The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up and Asuka says Vaquer is not deserving to be a champion. Nikki disagrees, and Vaquer says she will show Asuka while she is a champion when they finally meet in the ring. Rhea confronts Asuka over her attitude, and Asuka tells Rhea to stay away from Iyo Sky before saying Rhea is not ready for her. This leads Rhea to say she is ready before challenging Asuka to a match. Kairi tries to apologize after Asuka leaves, but Asuka tells her to hurry up.

Bayley beats Roxanne Perez after Roxanne hits Lyra Valkyria with a tope suicida on the outside. After the match, Lyra hugs Bayley, but Bayley shoves her away for touching her and goes off on her.



Backstage, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes runs into Jimmy Uso. Jimmy congratulates Cody on the Wrestlepalooza win, but when Cody asks about "Main Event" Jey Uso, Jimmy says Jey is in his own head and will not listen to him, and that he thinks that he could listen to Cody. Cody says he will talk to Jey.

Backstage, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes meets with "Main Event" Jey Uso, and mentions that Jimmy Uso is worried about Jey. Jey says he is fine, but Cody tells Jey that he has his fans, friends and family and that they believe in Jey. Jey promises to Cody that he will find his way back to the top.

Rusev beats JD McDonagh by submission with the Accolade after "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio tries to get in the ring only to think better of it and back off. After the match, Finn Balor runs into the match and hits Rusev with an elbow, then clotheslines Rusev out of the ring before checking on McDonagh and arguing with Dominik.



Backstage, Iyo Sky tells Asuka that she does not have to fight Rhea Ripley, but Asuka wants to teach Rhea respect. Iyo tells Kairi to talk to Asuka after Asuka leaves, but Kairi says Asuka is why they are here and that they must listen to her.

Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews LA Knight. Knight says things only happened the way they did at Wrestlepalooza because he checked on "Main Event" Jey Uso only to be shoved away by Jey, and while he does not want to hurt Jey, he has no problem doing it with a BFT.

"Main Event" Jey Uso beats LA Knight after Knight takes down both Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed when they rush towards the ring. After the match, Jimmy Uso shows up as Bronson and Breakker head back into the ring, and when Jey refuses to help LA Knight when Jimmy asks him to, Jimmy grabs a metal folding chair and runs to the ring when Jey leaves. Paul Heyman has to beg Breakker off before he, Breakker and Bronson leave.



Backstage, Becky Lynch is obsessed with everything going on and making an example out of someone as Seth "Freakin'" Rollins looks at the Rolex that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes gifted him.

Backstage, Iyo Sky meets with Rhea Ripley. Iyo wants Rhea to call off the match with Asuka, but Rhea says it must happen and hopes that they can beat respect into each other like she and Iyo did. She also asks Iyo to be careful around Asuka. Iyo says Asuka is family and that she is here because of her, then doubts if she can trust Rhea before leaving. Rhea says that this is not what she meant.

We see a video package for El Grande Americano and the two luchadors who are also part of his matches and share his American theme, who are now collectively known as "Los Americanos."

Backstage, Maxxine Dupri wants a title match. General Manager Adam Pearce tells her to keep doing what she is doing and he will eventually find the right moment for her. After Maxxine leaves, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Dragon Lee show up regarding El Grande Americano and his luchador allies, wanting a match with Los Americanos next week. Pearce says he will talk with Los Americanos and make the match happen.

Rhea Ripley beats Asuka after a conflicted Kairi Sane tries to hit Rhea Ripley with a spinning back fist from the ring apron only for Rhea to block it. Asuka charges at Rhea, but Rhea dodges and Asuka hits Kairi instead before winning with a schoolkid pin. After the match, Asuka spits blue mist into Rhea's face, then commands Kairi to attack Rhea. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi) gang up on Rhea, but it is not long before Iyo Sky runs into the ring to reason with them. Asuka sobs and hugs Iyo, then hits her with a spinning back fist.

Sammy then says that he turned on Jericho because he held him back and took him for granted just like the fans did for a long time, then says he does not need the fans and is tired of earning their love after having a wife, a kid and a fat paycheck.

He says that the fans can boo him all they want, then addresses the contract for The Bloodline's match at Fastlane and John Cena's partner not having a signature on the contract. Jimmy Uso takes the microphone out of Heyman's hand and says that if John Cena is smart like he says he is, he would have jumped into the ambulance and gotten far away from The Bloodline. He then says that John Cena will end up in an ambulance anyway, then Cena runs to the back, fights Solo on the outside, then fights Jimmy in the ring.

Scott D'Amore is in the ring to moderate a "hold harmless" contract signing for the Barbed Wire Massacre match between Steve Maclin, Moose and Sami Callihan at Victory Road. He says all three men are signing a waiver in case anything happens in this dangerous match. Moose is introduced first, followed by Steve Maclin, followed by Sami Callihan. When Sami's music hits, Sami fails to show up. Moose says it does not matter is Sami is here or not, as he has to be in the match, and tells Maclin that Sami will call their match "hell on earth" before telling him that his military experience is nothing compared to being in the ring with him and going through hell. Maclin tells Moose he has been turned into "a coddled prizefighter" and says Moose has not seen what he has seen or done what he has done, then says he is lucky he has all four of his limbs and that men like him transcend matches like this. He says that instead of "hell on earth," it will be "mayhem for all." After Maclin signs the contract, Sami suddenly shows up and apologizes for his tardiness, as he could not find his favorite chair: a metal folding chair that is in his hands. Sami sits down in the chair before admitting that Moose and Maclin took him off guard and that they made a grave mistake, as he is the master of puppets. He says that he has them both at each others' throats like he wants him, then Maclin tells him to shut up and sign the contract. Sami then pulls out a pen covered in barbed wire, then Moose and Maclin attack Sami with the pen. Moose gets Sami in the Tree of Woe position, and when Maclin goes for Caught In The Crosshairs on Sami, Moose hits Maclin with a Spear.

He says that half of Team Taz (Taz, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs, Hook) is from New York and yet the fans in the city do not even like them, and recounts Team Taz's attempt to put him through a table, saying that while it pissed him off, his music makes that feeling go away. He says that his entrance theme makes everything "a lovefest" and proud to see the fans, then says that Team Taz wanted to take all of this away from him, and that is has been so long since he had all of this that he needs this. He says that nobody will take anything pro wrestling-wise away from him and that it is his again, and then tells Team Taz that they should have finished the job instead of making the mistake of letting him live. He says it is his job to tuck people in instead of waking them up, and that Powerhouse Hobbs is going to sleep on Rampage. Punk hugs Stephen Amell in the front row on his way out.

We hear from Heath, who says he needs a job not just because he has kids, but because professional wrestling is a thing he loves to do. He says he wants to be in Impact as it has the best competition in the world and because Rhino is there.

He says that through technology, it is time for everyone to band together and help Moose find the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and give any and all relevant information to Moose's cell phone at (407) 457-8494. (Author's note: The number doesn't go to anything other than a voicemail that hasn't even been set up yet. Don't even call it. Seriously.)



Backstage, Rosemary tells Taya Valkyrie that she was unconscious backstage when Taya asks here where she was during her match last week, and says that they must be on the same page if they want things to work.

Bravo is handling all the details for the wedding, John E. Bravo talks with a few members of the locker room, saying it is time for everyone to dig their heels in and get to work. The Deaners (Cody Deaner and Cousin Jake) leave for their match, then Johnny Swinger takes offense to Fallah Bahh being the best man.

Eric Young then hits Cousin Jake with a piledriver before grabbing a microphone and asking if Eddie Edwards, Rich Swann and Scott D'Amore are watching before saying that everything that happens from here on out is on them. Eric Young says that his hand was forced and that he gave Eddie and Swann the easy way out as he continues to attack The Deaners, then tells Scott D'Amore that it is his choice what happens from here on out. He then proceeds to taunt Cody before stomping on him and Cousin Jake, then proclaims it is his world and that everything is under his control and his design from now on. He then boots Cody out of the ring before going for an ankle lock on Jake. Security shows up, but Eric Young levels them before going for Cousin Jake's leg ankle again. Scott D'Amore shows up and tells Eric Young to let Jake go, and D'Amore has to get in the ring to break the hold and tell Eric to use his head. Eric Young forces Scott D'Amore into the corner then Eddie Edwards shows up and attacks Eric Young, forcing Eric to retreat.



Backstage, Eddie Edwards tells Scott D'Amore that he cannot let people walk over him, and demands a rematch so he can end Eric Young's reign of terror, saying he should be the one getting it and not Rich Swann. D'Amore tells Edwards he has his rematch at Victory Road, and tells him to be the leader he says he is.

Rob Van Dam beats Sami Callihan. As per pre-match stipulation, Katie Forbes gets five minutes in the ring with Sami Callihan. Katie Forbes and Rob Van Dam attack Rob Van Dam, but Sami Callihan throws a steel chair at Rob Van Dam before planting Forbes into the mat with a Cactus Special.

The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) then show up, saying they were champs for over a year and that Austin and Fulton were lucky to tag with them. After Ethan Page says they were responsible for Austin and Fulton winning, Madman gets in The North's faces, and this leads to Page proposing a match between both teams next week.

Next week: Johnny Swinger vs. Fallah Bahh, where the winner is John E. Bravo's best man! Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie vs. Havok and Nevaeh!

He says that guys like Ethan Carter III can't even keep up with him. EC3 shows up, and he tells Drew to tread lightly when he mentions his name. Drew says that there must be somebody out there watching out for EC3 in Nashville, and says EC3 will lose to Lashley...and when he does, he can face him for the Impact Grand Championship and lose in two rounds.

Suddenly, "Broken" Matt Hardy is spotted in the crowd, telling Decay he will delete their tag team title reign (as well as calling Vanguard-1 and Skaarsgaard the Dilapidated Boat "magic.")

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for September 22, 2015

Nikki Bella tries to learn some Spanish for in the bedroom.

The Divas are ready for the trip to Mexico.

Cesaro asks Nattie if she knows where TJ is. Nattie thinks that Cesaro and TJ have a man crush on each other.

The Divas and Jon Uso watch Naomi's match from backstage. Jon Uso thinks Naomi is showing off just a bit too much.

As everyone is at catering, Nattie notices that TJ is either talking about Cesaro or talking to Cesaro.

Brie and Nikki are the first to make it to Tulum, Mexico. Nikki has rented a huge mansion with a private beach, chef, bartender, pool and jacuzzi. Brie tells Nikki that she and Dad are not talking, after she told him she was visiting her grandmother and had no time to see him and got blocked on Instagram as a result. Brie is blocked, but Nikki is not, and she finds out from dear old Dad's Instagram that their dad is having another kid. Brie is shocked, as none of his children - including Brie and Nikki - have good relationships with them. As they converse, Paige and Nattie make it to the mansion, and Paige tells them Trinity and Alicia got in a fight at the airport. Paige then explains what happens before she explains that it's all a joke. Alicia and Trinity show up after Trinity keeps stepping on burrs on the beach.

Everyone is having breakfast when Paige announces that she has gotten engaged to Kevin. Alicia is the only one who stays silent as everyone else congratulates Paige, and knows that Paige said she wasn't ready to get engaged. Alicia tells Paige not to let Kevin pressure her into marriage and not to do something she might regret, and that whatever she does, she backs her 110 percent.

The Divas do a photo shoot for their respective husbands and/or boyfriends. Trinity decides to stay out of it, after Jon Uso told her not to leave a lot showing and to "save some for him." Trinity knows that Jon is just looking out for her best interests. Also, the bartender takes his shirt off.

Everyone has some fun in the pool before doing some photos - and wrestling moves - at the beach.

Nikki finds it weird that Brie would want to stay at the mansion and get drunk while she goes to see some of the local sights.

Paige thinks that Nattie complains to too many people that Cesaro and TJ have a supposed man crush with each other.

Brie talks to Bryan on the phone, and mentions what's going on between her and her dad. Bryan tells her to have as best a relationship with her dad as she possibly can, as one day he may not be here.



The Divas have dinner out. Paige realizes she has never thought about having a wedding and all the work that goes into one before. They then head to a bar, and Alicia films everyone as they try to twerk.



The next morning, everyone is having breakfast. Brie still doesn't want to go sightseeing as it reminds her of her and Nikki's dad, but Nikki reminds her that life's too short to take a breather from someone, as wishing she could have talked with her dad more is a pretty bad regret to have. Meanwhile, Nattie announces that she's closing on the house. Trinity confronts Alicia for posting footage of her twerking on her Instagram, as she is very protective of her own image and wants to respect her own marriage, which she cares a lot.



Everyone - including Brie - goes sightseeing. Nattie is the one to break the news that Dusty Rhodes has passed away. Everyone is devastated, especially Nattie, who says that Dusty saw great potential in TJ.



That night, Paige has a little bit of fun with Nattie by asking is TJ is gay in response to Nattie telling everyone that TJ is infatuated with Cesaro. Nattie calls TJ and has Paige ask it straight to him. Paige asks him if he "likes" Cesaro, and the whole phone call turns into a double entendre when TJ says Cesaro can "clean and jerk 135 with one arm." After the call, Paige tells Nattie to be careful about who she talks about her relationship with.

The Divas find out that there are some Mayan dancers outside of the house, which caps off a great trip to Mexico.

The Divas have breakfast at a restaurant. Wedding talk happens again, and Paige talks to Alicia alone. Paige admits she lied to Alicia, saying she said yes to Kevin because she didn't want to lose Kevin and doesn't want to get married.

Bonus clip: Brie bonds with the rest of the Divas over family relationships.

Rusev beats "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry after Henry is out cold during the Accolade.



Adam Rose and The Bunny beat Slater-Gator (Titus O'Neil and Heath Slater) in The Bunny's WWE debut match.



Nikki Bella shows up and makes excuses for her loss last night at Night of Champions, all of which involve Brie Bella's interview from last night. She calls out Brie, who confronts her for blaming everyone but herself. Nikki calls Brie an embarassment and a quitter, then tells her to give up the Bella name so she can have it exclusively.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for September 22, 1997

Eric Bischoff shows up at the commentary table and tells "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko to keep his nose out of other people's business and that if he ever involves himself in another match like he did at Fall Brawl, he will pay a dear price. Zbyszko tells Bischoff he's a fly on the wall who's about to get swatted, responds with the footage of Bischoff being attacked by The Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) at The Great American Bash 1996 to remind him how much of "a gutless, spineless wimp" Bischoff is and that the nWo will throw him in the garbage again when he has no authority in the company again.

Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Silver King. Raven is seen walking down the stairs to a seat in the front row during the match, and Eddie Guerrero is also seen approaching the ring. After the match Eddie Guerrero tries to get in the ring but is stopped at the apron and confronted by Rey. The referee keeps Rey back, but Rey leaps over him and nails Eddie.



The debuting Bill Goldberg beats Hugh Morrus after Goldberg kicks out of No Laughing Matter and puts him away in quick, powerful fashion, much to the surprise of the commentary team. "Mean" Gene Okerlund tries to interview Goldberg, but Goldberg just walks away, and Okerlund is left as shocked as the commentary team at Goldberg's victory.



We see an nWo-ized replay of the Four Horsemen parody.

We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Disco Inferno beats Alex Wright after getting an unintentional cover on Wright after a double cross body collision to win the WCW World Television Championship! Raven is seen sitting in the front row during the match. After the match, Jacqueline shows up, brings "Mean" Gene Okerlund with her to the ring, and mentions that she wants to talk to Disco. She mentions that she knows why Disco Inferno has been gone for six months, and Disco says he hasn't got the times. Jacqueline wants to challenge Disco for the title, but Disco says this is too much, especially considering he just won the Television title, and tells her not to push this as he leaves.

We see another nWo-ized replay of the Four Horsemen parody.

Scott Hall and Syxx show up, wanting to know if the people came to see WCW or the nWo. The fans make it clear they were here to see the nWo and that they're nWo "4 life." Scott Hall goes on to say how everyone knows how sweet he and Syxx are, and that it is a fluke that Lex Luger beat him by pinfall as it took the help of "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko for him to do it. Hall says he and Syxx are here to fight, and that he wants Luger right now and not at Halloween Havoc. Luger doesn't appear immediately, when convinces Hall that Luger is scared. He then calls out Zbyszko, and Zbyszko heads to the ring. Hall says Zbyszko is "all bluff and no stuff" and tells him to go back to commentary. He then demands another opponent be brought out from the back, and he gets Hector Garza.

Hector Garza gets a surprise schoolboy pin on Scott Hall when Hall gets cocky and messes with referee Mark Curtis, ripping off his shirt pocket, untucking his shirt and slapping him around. After the match, Hall puts both Garza and Curtis in The Outsider's Edge before "pinning" both of them.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

Ultimo Dragon, Ciclope, Lizmark Jr. and Juventud Guerrera beat La Parka, Psychosis, Villano IV and Villano V.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Interim WCW Commissioner "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Piper says that Scott Hall cried so much after War Games that he thought he would have to build an ark, and tells Hall he may have a point as "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko was not an official referee during that match. He rectifies this by placing Lex Luger and Scott Hall in a match at Halloween Havoc and makes Zbyszko the special guest referee. He also addresses Curt Hennig's actions at War Games, and says that "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair will be out for a while and that "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit has a concussion. He says that WCW wants to ban cage matches as they are inhuman, brutal, and insane, which is why he is fighting "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan in a cage match at Halloween Havoc for the first time in history and hopefully the last, as Piper is intent on finishing Hogan's career. Piper says he has had more cage matches than Brigham Young has had wives, and that he is the man who spent a week at Alcatraz. He plans to slam the cage door on Hogan's head so many times that Hogan will think he is at Grand Central Stage and make Mike Tyson look like a vegetarian as he chews Hogan up from head to toe.

Lee Marshall calls from Worcester, Massachusetts - the site of next week's Nitro - for the 1-800-COLLECT Road Report.

The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) beat The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) after Meng pins Rick Steiner with the Tongan Death Grip.

Eric Bischoff and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan show up. Hogan is seen wearing "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's red robe with the sleeves cut off. Hogan wants to know where Sting is, and says Sting is scared when he doesn't show up immediately. He thanks Curt Hennig for his newest trophy in the form of the Ric Flair robe, then says that Flair is the first old man he's putting out to pasture followed by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Bischoff calls Piper out for running roughshod as Interim Commissioner of WCW. Hogan tells Piper that if he thinks he'll make Mike Tyson look like a vegetarian, he'll chew him up all over the ring and hurt him really badly in the steel cage as there is no way Piper will beat him in a cage match.

Before the next match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth say they don't think much of Diamond Dallas Page, saying that DDP is walking in Savage's shadow. Savage says that the nWo is currently on a roll and that he's got a present for Curt Hennig later on tonight.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage beats Stevie Richards. At one point, Savage sends Stevie Richards into the steel guardrail in front of Raven, who is still seated in the front row, and Raven answers by standing up. After the match, Raven jumps the guardrail and gets in the ring to stare down with Savage, who pushes the referee away when he tries to talk them both out of fighting each other. Raven goes after Stevie Richards instead and hits him with the Evenflow DDT once again, much to the disbelief of Savage.

This Saturday on a special one-hour edition at 7:05 PM Eastern/6:05 PM Central on WCW Saturday Night: Wrath and Mortis! Diamond Dallas Page! Dean Malenko!

Booker T and Jacqueline show up without Stevie Ray before the next match. We find out that Stevie Ray pulled his Achilles tendon a few weeks ago, and Booker T tells he and Jacqueline are more man than Konnan, Scott Norton and Vincent, and that he'll face any one of them tonight. Norton says it's not his problem Stevie Ray is injured and that he signed on for a tag match, and tells him to bring it on.

Booker T beats Konnan and Scott Norton after Vincent gets involved.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Curt Hennig retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Jarrett after Miss Elizabeth gets on the apron and distracts the referee, allowing "Macho Man" Randy Savage to run in and hand Hennig the title so that he can use it as a weapon against Jarrett. Hennig does just that, then manages to hit his signature Fisherman's suplex pin to retain the title. After the match, Hennig celebrates with the rest of the New World Order. who also attack Jarrett. The show ends with The Giant heading towards the ring, clearing out the nWo.

The Undertaker is interviewed in the ring by Vince McMahon. It is announced that the winner between The Undertaker and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels will face the WWF Champion at Survivor Series. It is also announced that the bottom of the ring will be throughly searched so that nobody sneaks into the match. The Undertaker warns Bret "The Hit Man" Hart that the day will soon be upon him when the reaper comes calling, but before he has his judgement days, Shawn Michaels has his date with destiny. At the Hell In A Cell Match, there is only one way out and it is over his dead body, and The Undertaker tells Shawn that he can never rest in peace, but he sure can enjoy watching Shawn's rotting corpse burn in eternal damnation. Suddenly, Shawn shows up and asks if it's either his imagination or if the WWF is giving him the shaft via the SummerSlam aftermath, the Hell In A Cell Match and now the fact that he has to earn a WWF Championship. He tells The Undertaker he does not lay down for anybody (unless they're a hot mama), and that he's looking for a Garden party and he's in the house. He tells The Undertaker he plans to be step ahead of everyone at the Hell In A Cell Match, and that he will bring the pain and tells 'Taker that all he has to do is show up.

Sunny is guest ring announcer for the next match.

The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) beat The Nation of Domination (Faarooq and Kama Mustafa) by disqualification when D'Lo Brown and Rocky Maivia attack The Legion. Ahmed Johnson - now with his right hand taped up - shows up to make the save, but The Nation of Domination continue to dominate until referees and officials restore order.

We look back at "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka's leap off the top of the steel cage at Madison Square Garden on October 17, 1983.

Before the next match, Brian Pillman shows up with a sling around his left arm as Marlena appears, dressed even more modestly than last time and with a black handbag over her shoulder. He says that today is a dark day for professional wrestling as it has been robbed of a classic battle between himself and Owen Hart, as he broke his arm when he had Marlena squealing like a pig when he slipped and fell in the bathtub. He tells Owen Hart that he has to forfeit, but WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter shows up and wants proof, then tells Pillman to think fast and tosses the microphone to him. Pillman catches the microphone with his left hand, which is still in a sling, revealing that the broken arm is a ruse. Sgt. Slaughter orders them to have their match, or both of them will never wrestle in the WWF again.

During the commercial break, Marlena smacks Owen Hart in the back of the head with her handbag, forcing Owen Hart to fight Brian Pillman and forcing the match to escalate.

Owen Hart beats Brian Pillman by disqualification to continue to the finals of the Intercontinental Championship Tournament after Goldust rushes into the ring, attacks Owen Hart first and goes after Pillman. It is announced that Viewer's Choice will replay One Night Only tomorrow at 8 PM and 11 PM in Canada only, while in America, the show is kept off pay-per-view due to a clause in Bret "The Hit Man" Hart's contract which causes the event to be subsequently released on VHS in that country. Owen dedicates the win to his brother Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, but is then attacked by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. The policemen who have accompanies Owen to the ring scramble and surround Austin, then Vince McMahon gets in the ring and tells Austin to get a hold of himself, saying he knows he's upset he can't compete but tells him not to break the law and that if he competes now, he risks hurting and paralyzing himself. He tells Austin that the WWF will not stand by and let that happen, and that everyone wants to see him compete, but in due time. Austin looks at his watch, then Vince asks Austin if he knows how many people care about him and asks him to just go with it and work within the system. Austin tells Vince that this is all he does for a living, then tells him he'll work within "his stupid little system." He appreciates that everyone cares, then appreciates the fact that Vince can kiss his ass. Austin then hits Vince with a Stone Cold Stunner and flips him off before the police finally arrest him and take him to the back while referees and officials check on Vince.

He attacks Helmsley, but Shawn attacks 'Taker from behind with the steel chair. Chyna and "Ravishing" Rick Rude show up, and all four of them decimate The Undertaker. 'Taker manages to get right back up and grab the steel chair, and Shawn, Helmsley, Rude and Chyna retreat.

Before the next match, Bret says he doesn't give a crap who wins the Hell In A Cell match as he'll face the winner regardless, saying both "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels' and The Undertaker's days are numbered as he has already beaten 'Taker and that Shawn is getting what is coming to him after what he did to The British Bulldog.
