Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 29, 2025

Rhea Ripley heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Rhea calls out The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), saying she always knew it would come to this even though she hoped they would handle things in the ring like the warriors they were, and that what they did to Iyo Sky crossed the line. Rhea says they will settle things in the ring and dares The Kabuki Warriors to come and get her. Suddenly, Iyo Sky shows up and heads to the ring. Iyo says it breaks her heart to say that Rhea was right about them, even though they are family and she still loves them. The lights go out, then The Kabuki Warriors show up on the Titantron. Asuka says it is up to Iyo what happens next, as she taught her everything she knows and made her. She says that she only acts like Rhea is her family and that she forgot about her when she became champion. Because she loves Iyo, however, she is willing to forgive her if she apologizes like she should. Kairi Sane says they can still be family and Asuka says they can still be family, but Asuka tells Rhea it is too late for her. Rhea says Asuka can go to hell, then tells Iyo that there is no way she can go back to The Kabuki Warriors after everything they have done to her. Iyo apologizes and says she needs some time before leaving the ring. All of a sudden, Rhea is attacked from behind by The Kabuki Warriors, and Iyo Sky runs into the ring throws Asuka off of Rhea. Kairi begs Iyo off, and that allows Asuka to spit blue mist into Iyo's face. Rhea gets back up and fights off Asuka and Kairi, but Asuka kicks Rhea in the back of the neck and throws her into the ring posts before she and Kairi lay Rhea out. Medical staff have to check on Iyo Sky in the ring while officials check on Rhea.



"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rusev. During the match, Dominik tries to retreat with both of his titles, but Rusev throws him back into the ring. Rusev grabs the AAA Mega Championship, but when the referee takes it away, Dominik hits Rusev with the Intercontinental Championship and plays possum only for the referee to see what is going on. As the referee returns the other championship, Dominik grabs the referee from behind as Rusev goes after him, then kicks low and wins with an inside cradle.



In backstage footage from earlier today, General Manager Adam Pearce meets with LA Knight, who wants his World title shot when The New Day shows up angry that the Mexican Destroyer has not been banned while demanding a tag team title shot. This leads to LA Knight taking offense to being interrupted, especially when Kofi says that a world champion is talking, and LA Knight says Kofi will never be a world champion again while he is a world champion in waiting before challenging Kofi to a match tonight.

We see part one of a series of video packages chronicling the history between "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins.

Backstage, Bayley runs into Lyra Valkyria and thanks her for the help, but Lyra says she is tired of the mind games. Bayley admits she has gone through a lot since WrestleMania, but Lyra says she cannot give Bayley any more second chances and that she is on his own.

Raquel Rodriguez beats Bayley after Roxanne rakes Bayley's eyes from the outside as Bayley has Raquel in a Figure Four Leg Lock. After the match, Roxanne attacks Bayley, then Lyra Valkyria shows up and fights both Roxanne and Raquel, despite being hesitant at first. The numbers game catches up to Lyra just before Bayley loses it and gives Raquel a beatdown. Raquel and Roxanne are forced to retreat, and Lyra wants nothing to do with Bayley, who suddenly helps Lyra up. Lyra has no idea what to make of this.



Backstage, Jimmy Uso meets with "Main Event" Jey Uso, but wants to know why Jey did not help him or LA Knight. Jey says helping LA Knight gets them nowhere, then asks Jimmy why he is helping LA Knight. Jey says that if it were not for LA Knight, he would be World Heavyweight Champion by now, and that Jimmy does not get it. He then tells Jey to forget LA Knight and that they will handle The Vision (Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed) tonight.

Backstage, Kairi Sane meets with Iyo Sky as she is tended to by medical and tells her they can still be a family, and that it is not too late. She tells Iyo to follow her and apologize to Asuka, but Iyo Sky wants none of this and tells Kairi to leave her alone. Kairi leaves crying, but not before leaving a photo of Iyo and The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane).



LA Knight beats Kofi Kingston despite the interference from Xavier Woods on the ring apron.



Backstage, Maxxine Dupri is talking with Akira Tozawa when Becky Lynch shows up and calls Maxxine a failure. Maxxine mentions everyone calling Becky the best of all time except for AJ Lee, and when Akira Tozawa chuckles, Becky punches him in the face. Maxxine tells Becky to leave Tozawa out of this, as he has nothing to do with this, then checks on Tozawa after Becky leaves only to be beaten down from behind by Becky. Seth "Freakin'" Rollins catches up with Becky while looking at his watch, and after a brief chat, Rollins says that that he has to do what he has to do tonight on his own.

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins heads to the ring. Seth talks about how "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes has three wins over him, yet says it does not bother him because it does not matter. He says those matches were in the past and that those versions of him and Cody trying to reach the top do not matter. He says that only Crown Jewel matters, as they are both at the top and they are going one-on-one with the winner receiving not just the Men's Crown Jewel Championship but the ability to decide the next ten to twenty years of the industry. He says there are some people at home who want Cody to win, and says that those people have lost their minds and that he is the one to lead the industry into the future. Rollins says he has done everything right and stayed in WWE when things got tough, brought WWE into its golden age and taken Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed under his wing and gave them the knowledge to secure their place at the top. He says he has done it all and sacrificed it all to get rid of cancers like Roman Reigns and CM Punk, yet the fans still chant for Cody, who then shows up. Cody says talk of the future of the industry is a bit much, and the fans have more control of it than either of them does. He also believes that Rollins can teach Breakker and Bronson, but not control them, and that Paul Heyman - not Seth Rollins - sent them to SmackDown last week. Rollins says all decisions run through him and that he sent them to SmackDown because Cody did not get the message, and Cody takes this as Rollins allowing Heyman to announce for Brock Lesnar. Rollins insists that every decision runs through him, and the fans chant "No, it doesn't!" to Rollins' chagrin, with an angry Rollins stating that he is why the fans are here. Cody says everyone is trying here and that the fans are just having fun, then says it should just be about both world champions in a match for the Men's Crown Jewel Championship. Cody asks where the both of them will be in twenty years, then talks about their history at WrestleMania 40 and says that he thought Rollins was his friend, but Rollins tells Cody to shut up. Rollins says that they were never friends and calls WrestleMania 40 "a means to an end" and Cody "the lesser of two evils." He says they will never be friends and that he will cleanse the timeline, stating that everything before Crown Jewel is dead. He then says that after Crown Jewel, he will write a new future, and he will be the one to lead it.



Backstage, Iyo Sky is looking at Kairi Sane's photo from earlier when Rhea Ripley checks on her. Iyo tells Rhea she was right about Asuka and that at Crown Jewel, they will take on The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane). Rhea says she wants Asuka's head more than anyone, but she wants to know if Iyo Sky is up to this, even after she saw her talking to Kairi Sane earlier. Iyo tells Rhea she can trust her, as her family is lost and she cannot go back to them. Rhea accepts the challenge.

Before the next match, Dragon Lee says it is an honor to share the ring with "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles as part of a time and says that together, they are unstoppable, and talks about how became #1 contender for the AAA Mega Championship. He tells "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio that he is coming for him. Styles agrees with Dragon Lee and hopes he kicks Dominik's teeth in, then says that thanks to the fans, he has a match against John Cena at Crown Jewel. He thanks the fans for giving him the opportunity to beat up John Cena, but tonight, they kick Los Americanos' asses.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Dragon Lee beat Los Americanos (Rayo and Bravo).



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Stephanie Vaquer. Stephanie says she is ready for anyone and looks forward to facing Tiffany Stratton and becoming Women's Crown Jewel Champion. Tiffany shows up and says she respects Stephanie, but she has been champion for over eight months, and she will become Crown Jewel Champion. Stephanie tells Tiffany her time is over, but Tiffany tells Stephanie she will have to get used to coming in second.



Backstage, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins meets with the rest of The Vision (Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed), and Rollins says "I have to be here. I have to."

The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) beat The Vision (Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed) in a tornado tag match after Roman Reigns suddenly shows up with a metal folding chair and goes to town on The Vision. After the match, Roman goes back to town on Breakker, who soon falls out of the ring. Roman then gets Jey psyched up and tells him that this is his time while Jimmy watches nearby.

Cena says tonight is very important because he has a choice of either ripping up the contract and acting like this never happened or he can stand and fight.

Arn says the difference between him and Cody is that Cody would give his car to a carjacker while he would shoot the carjacker (which almost immediately becomes an Internet meme).

He then says that Jericho ended his career when he decided to confront America's Top Team and The Men of the Year, and says that Jericho is now retired after they "cut the head off the AEW snake." Scorpio Sky says that he stood in the ring a year ago and asked the fans if they were paying attention, as he was one of the first champions in AEW and got an impressive win-loss record, and says that the only who paid attention to him was Lambert. He says that Lambert saw him and Ethan Page as main-eventers, and Ethan Page says that the fans have overlooked them because they don't come off as tough guys despite the fact that he is undefeated so far in AEW. Ethan Page says that he and Scorpio Sky will not be overlooked, and after walking and talking like a champion, he now rolls with champions.

Darby Allin shows up, and MJF says that Allin is only interrupting him because he is jealous of him while calling him a "number two guy" and saying he is number one around here. Darby Allin tells MJF to leave if he cannot get what he wants, as nobody will miss him, and says he will be "AEW till death" and that MJF is not the number one pillar because he is the only pillar to win a championship. MJF says Darby Allin is only straight edge because he and his uncle went on a joyride only for his uncle to die from drunken driving that night, and says it is a travesty because "the wrong man died." MJF dares Darby Allin, but Darby says he will not do it because MJF will not break him mentally, and tells MJF to keep talking. MJF tells Wardlow they are done, and they walk away.

He has heard what both Schiavone and "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko said last week, and says that nobody should feel sorry for him because he's been there, seen it and done it many times. He thanks Schiavone, but also thanks Hennig for giving him the wake-up call that sometimes athletes need to go to another level and succeed in the future. He admits he was caught off guard and that he paid the price for it at War Games as he was stupid and complacent enough to let it happen. He warns Hennig that the stitches are coming out next week and that he will be right back in his face the day he can be there on Nitro. He also tells "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan that the nWo might as well have driven a truck through his home with Hennig handed him his robe, as their careers have often paralleled each other. He says that nobody can fill his shoes or wear his robe, and that he will be coming back for it and Hogan will rue the day he and Hennig stuck their noses in his business. He then thanks "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit and Steve "Mongo" McMichael for coming into his life, and tells Benoit and Mongo to go their own way as they deserve it, effectively ending The Four Horsemen as he has his own business to take care of and doesn't want Benoit and Mongo to worry about it. He says that the four fingers will be in the air for decades to come and that Benoit and Mongo don't need him to succeed, as he wants them to succeed on their own. He then makes it clear he is coming back, and tells Zbyszko, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Diamond Dallas Page and The Giant to "do it," and also to save some of Hennig for him.

We see footage of a Nitro party from the students of Brown University.

Eric Bischoff shows up. He calls Sting a "human muppet" for showing up after Hogan has called him out for weeks after Hogan got on a private jet to promote Assault on Devil's Island, which will premiere on TNT thanks to him. He then says Sting has made surprise appearances to attack nWo members, and says it is happening because Interim WCW Commissioner is in collusion with Sting, and when Hogan comes back, he will tell him and that it will indeed be the last time Piper gets in a cage with Hogan or anybody, as Hogan will take his leg and ram it down his throat. He tells Sting that if he wants to be a real man, all he has to do is show up at Halloween Havoc, as he and Hogan will be there.

Tony Schiavone congratulates producer Craig Leather and his wife Amy on the birth of their third child, a son named Carl who was born last Thursday. He also congratulates Woody Kierson and his wife Stacy on the birth of their first child, a daughter; as well as Kip Bissell and his wife Rebecca on having a son recently.

Lex Luger beats Wrath with the Torture Rack. It is announced that a match between Jeff Jarrett and Steve "Mongo" McMichael is official for Halloween Havoc.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Eric Bischoff guests on commentary for the next match, and Mike Tenay and "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko leave the commentary table.

The Giant beats Curt Hennig by disqualification after the New World Order interferes. During the match, Hennig gets The Giant up for the Fisherman's suplex, but The Giant kicks out at two. The nWo ends up surrounding The Giant and hitting him in the back with the United States title, then Sting shows up with a baseball and fights off the entire nWo to end the show, much to the anger of Eric Bischoff.



Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 29, 1997

Vince McMahon interviews "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels in the ring to start the show. Shawn is accompanied by Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna and "Ravishing" Rick Rude. When asked who his benefactor is, Rude says he adheres to strict confidentiality rules and tells Vince that with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin running amok in the World Wrestling Federation, even Vince is in dire need of a serious protection plan and that whether he gets one or not remains to be seen, but reminds him he can pay him now or pay him later. Shawn brags about the attack on The Undertaker last week, then says he doesn't have to get out of Hell In A Cell as he showed everybody last week that the initial outlaws of the WWF - him and Helmsley - "came, saw and kicked the dead man's ass." Helmsley says that the WWF and Vince McMahon have always been afraid of cliques, and says this is one clique he will never break up. He goes on to say he has been sitting back for the last couple of years while Vince and the WWF have "spread their legs like some cheap whore for all the so-called Superstars of the World Wrestling Federation" and that none of them could lace his boots. Instead of waiting for his break, he is now taking it in his hands and there is no stopping them now. He then tells The Undertaker he enjoyed every second of kicking his dead ass all over Madison Square Garden, and the way things are going, both Vince and The Undertaker will be lucky if they make it to the Hell In A Cell, as the ring is now their house and it is now a house of pain. WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter shows up and tells Shawn that 'Taker will be at Badd Blood and wishes Shawn luck that night as he will need it to come out alive. Shawn peeks through the belt and sticks his tongue out at him, and also covers up Helmsley's face with the WWF European Championship as Slaughter speaks to him. Slaughter then tells Helmsley that his luck has run out and that he will face The Undertaker tonight. As Helmsley argues with Slaughter, The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart) shows up. Bret tells Helmsley and Shawn that they have more than The Undertaker to worry about and that they have committed crimes against The Foundation. He tells Shawn and Helmsley that they will suffer for them as they have crossed the line and there is no going back. As they leave, Shawn and Helmsley look towards the TitanTron and then at each other multiple times, refusing to take the Foundation seriously as the two of them begin to develop some more humorous, sophomoric mannerisms.

We see another edition of Brian Pillman's XXX Files, and this time Marlena is with him inside of a bed. He has news for the WWF: the two of them will not fight Dude Love at Badd Blood unless restraints are placed on Goldust, even if Goldust has to be handcuffed to the ring, as Pillman knows Goldust will interfere again. Once he is guaranteed that Goldust is restrained, only then will he face Dude Love.

Dude Love guests on commentary for the next match. It is also announced that Goldust and Marlena will renew their wedding vows next week on Raw.

Goldust beats The Sultan. During the match, Dude Love announces that if he beats Brian Pillman at Badd Blood, Goldust will receive a no-disqualification match against Brian Pillman.

It is announced that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin has entered the building.

The introduction to the show is replayed to signal the start of War Zone.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up to start the second hour. Austin says all he's heard all week is how Vince McMahon has something to say to him, and tells Vince to get in the ring with him. Vince enters the ring, and tells Austin that either he's a certified lunatic or he just doesn't give a damn, and that he doesn't give a damn anymore, either. He allowed WWF officials to be placed in a position of jeopardy just to protect Austin from himself, but it stops right now. Austin tells Vince that if he wants to fire him, then go ahead, as he doesn't care. Vince gives Austin three options: bring the doctor's certificate saying he is medically cleared, return to action if he absolves the WWF of any responsibility in case he gets hurt again, or getting fired. Austin says he would put him in the Stunner again if he wanted to, and says no doctor knows his neck better than he does. He entertains signing a waiver absolving WWF of responsibility before shoving it up Vince's ass. He then threatens to beat Vince's ass worse than it's ever been beaten if Vince fires him, then leaves, but not before giving Vince a heard time again and flipping him off.

Los Boricuas (Jesus Castillo and Jose Estrada, Jr.) beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) by disqualification after The Godwinns (Henry O. Godwinn, Phineas I. Godwinn, Uncle Cletus) attack Los Boricuas. The Headbangers retain the WWF Tag Team Championships. The other members of Los Boricuas (Savio Vega and Miguel Perez) rush in to make the save.

Does Goldust blame Marlena for her 30 days with Brian Pillman, or does Goldust believe that Marlena has been forced to do what she's done? Find out on Option 3 of the WWF Superstar Line!

Owen Hart shows up with policemen in riot gear, and is also seen wearing a shirt with "Owen 3:16" on the front and "I just broke your neck." on the back. Vince thinks Owen is crazy for wearing such a shirt, and Owens says he can do it again. He says that Faarooq is a great wrestler, but he is confident that he is a better one and the only reason he doesn't hold the Intercontinental Championship is because of his compassion and his stupid mistake, and says that will never again as he wins the title a second time at Badd Blood. He says he knows what kind of lunatic "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and what he is capable of, and says that Austin has ruined his life and he doesn't want it. He says he will beat Faarooq as long as he has a fair shake and Austin isn't around, and demands that the WWF be rid of Austin as he will destroy it. He then says he cannot wait until Badd Blood when he wins the Intercontinental Championship again and Austin is out of the WWF. It is then revealed that Austin is one of the policemen in riot gear, and after Austin hits Owen with the Stone Cold Stunner, the other policemen go after him as he runs into the crowd.

Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart tends to Owen Hard backstage.

We see some footage of the construction of the cell for the Hell In A Cell Match at Badd Blood.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and The British Bulldog attack The Undertaker as he makes his way to the ring, and The Patriot and Vader rush into to fight Bret and The Bulldog at the entrance ramp. After that brawl makes its way to the back, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley attack The Undertaker on the ramp until The Undertaker fights back. Helmsley finally has his match with 'Taker, but it doesn't last long as "Ravishing" Rick Rude shows up a few minutes later and hits THe Undertaker in the back with his briefcase. Shawn stomps The Undertaker as Rude pulls a bodybag out of the briefcase. Shawn hits The Undertaker with Sweet Chin Music so that Helmsley, Shawn and Chyna can place The Undertaker in the body bag, but even after it's zipped up, The Undertaker gets up and rips his way out of the bag with his bare hands. Helmsley, Shawn and Chyna try to attack 'Taker again, but to no availas 'Taker chases Shawn to the back only to reveal that there is a red light backstage. Shawn climbs up the TitanTron as 'Taker hits Helmsley with a Tombstone Piledriver on the stage.
