Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 15, 2016
Lightning knocked out the power to the arena before the show, but thankfully electricity was restored before the show.
In a WWE.com exclusive, Rusev is still angry after what happened last week with Roman Reigns, and says he plans to crush Roman tonight.
During the pre-show, we see the aftermath of a cake-covered Lana courtesy of a WWE.com exclusive.
Andrea D'Marco interviews Bob Backlund and Darren Young, but Titus O'Neil shows up. Andrea leaves, then Titus O'Neil apologizes for his "Darren Young was never great" comments. Titus O'Neil wants to bring back The Prime Time Players. Bob Backlund likes the idea, saying the team can be tag team champions again, and goes to talk to Mick Foley about bringing them back together. Titus tells Darren Young this will be for one night only.
"Mr. Irrelevant" Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas congratulates Jinder Mahal for beaing up Heath Slater, and Mahal says that Slater turned his back on the band to join a couple of social outcasts. Bo and Axel chalk it all up to jealousy towards Slater. Jinder tells them to watch his upcoming match against Neville to see him do something Axel can't do: win.
Earlier today, Seth Rollins was outside the arena, saying he had business with "The Demon King" and called him out right now. He then looks for "The Demon King."
Lana and Rusev are in the ring. They say that Roman Reigns ruined a historic celebration last week, and that they will hold up the show until Roman Reigns shows up and apologizes. Instead, they get Raw General Manager Mick Foley, and Rusev demands respect, saying Mick Foley is no GM without him. Foley tells Rusev to get out of the ring, and Rusev tells Foley he sucks for making him defend the US title against Roman at SummerSlam. He says that Foley has no real power, and demands Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon come to the ring. She does, and she says Rusev's behavior is unacceptable. Rusev threatens to move to SmackDown, saying Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon will appreciate him there. Suddenly, Roman Reigns shows up and apologizes for Rusev being married to Lana in the first place. After some words from Rusev, Roman says that they might as well have their United Staes title match right now. Stephanie stops this, but Rusev wants to fight for Lana's honor. Mick Foley decides to make a match where Rusev can do just that against Roman Reigns tonight.
Byron Saxton interviews Sheamus before the next match. Sheamus says he is the most dominant Superstar on Raw right now, and proved he is the better athlete compared to Cesaro. He has moved on to greener pastures such as Sami Zayn, but calls him a cheap Sheamus knockoff. When the crowd chants "You look stupid," he tells the crowd that everybody paid to see him...so who's stupid now?
Cesaro guests on commentary during the middle of Sheamus vs. Sami Zayn.
Sami Zayn beats Sheamus after Cesaro leaves commentary and distracts Sheamus.
Tom Phillips interviews Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens. Jericho says tonight's match against Big Cass is 1-on-2, and he and Owens then make fun of Enzo Amore and Big Cass. Kevin Owens says he will beat Big Cass tonight, and that he and Jericho will go on to beat Enzo and Cass at SummerSlam to the point that when they're asked "How you doin'?" they won't be feeling so good because Jericho and Owens beat them.
Referees - and Raw General Manager Mick Foley - stop a backstage between Sheamus and Cesaro, and puts them in a Best of Seven series with the first match starting at SummerSlam.
Before the next match, we see Gallows & Anderson Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) talk about ringpostitis - and microwave an egg - on the Titantron.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xacier Woods) beat The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley). Club on TitanTron. Kofi and Xavier call out Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) for thinking what they did to Big E is funny, and say that The Club do not have the power to take their tag team titles or the "New Day Rocks" slogan, which they both do in place of the injured Big E.
Seth Rollins is looking for "The Demon King" backstage. He finds Neville, who tells Seth that he's been in the ring with "The Demon King," and tells Seth that he isn't ready.
Before the next match, Byron Saxton interviews Rachel Lee, who believes that she can go home with the gold and beat Nia Jax after watching the Summer Olympics non-stop.
Nia Jax quickly beats Rachel Lee.
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman enter the ring. Before Heyman can speak, he is interrupted by Heath Slater. Slater states that he is the hottest free agent in sports entertainment today, and says that since both Raw and SmackDown can't recognize him as a star, he's coming to Paul Heyman. Heyman laughts at Slater, but Slater tells him to laugh it up and asks for a one-on-one match against Brock Lesnar. Heyman just ignores Slater and acts like he's not even there, but Slater screams back, saying not to disrespect him and that he has kids that rely on him. Heyman tells Slater he's trying to save his ass. Lesnar gets on the microphone and talks to him, telling him he feels for him as he has kids too and to get in the ring so he can talk about his kids. He does, and Lesnar tells him he doesn't give a shit about his kids. He gives Slater two options: get out of the ring or keep pissing him off. Slater obviously chooses the latter option, and gets decimated as a result. Heyman gives Slater credit for going face-to-face with Brock Lesnar, as Randy Orton doesn't have the guts to do it. He says that Lesnar will massacre Orton at SummerSlam, and that not one person in the locker room can stand up to Lesnar. He then says that Lesnar is the box office for SummerSlam, and that everyone has the rare opportunity to see him in a match.
Before the next match, Enzo Amore says that he and Big Cass are going to have a SummerSlam barbecue this Sunday where they will beat Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho.
Big Cass beats Kevin Owens by disqualification after Chris Jericho interferes. Big Cass fights back, but the newly-christened JeriKO leave Cass laying.

Seth Rollins shows up looking for "The Demon King," then asks for the night off. Foley asks Seth Rollins to go to the ring and call "The Demon King" out.
Seth Rollins is now in the ring. He says he has never been so insulted in his life last week thanks to Finn Balor's response, and says he still can't find "The Demon King." He tells the media to get ready for what he's going to say: nothing will stop him from becoming the first WWE Universal Champion. He also says he can't find "The Demon King" anywhere and calls him out from the center of the ring, so he can kick him back into the history books. Nothing happens, and chalks it up to intimidation tactics by Finn Balor because Finn is afraid of him. He then says "The Demon King" is just another character in the Book of Rollins. A fan tries to jump into the ring, and Seth makes fun of the situation by saying "That's the Demon King right there?" and laughing. He continues to mock "The Demon King" when the lights flicker and weird utterings are heard. The arena goes dark and then flashes red. Finn Balor finally shows up in his body paint and Demon King get-up. "The Demon King" is here. After his entrance, Finn Balor stares down with Seth Rollins, then they brawl...and Finn Balor comes out on top.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 1, 2016
Earlier today in a WWE.com exclusive, Tom Phillips interviewed The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods). They are facing The Club (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson), but only two of them can be in the ring. The New Day say that they'll figure something out.
Earlier today in a WWE.com exclusive, Corey Grave interviewed Sasha Banks. She calls her title win a dream come true. Sasha says she Facetimed Bayley after she won the Women's title because Bayley has supported her since day one and gave it her all against her in NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn and NXT TakeOver: Respect. She says that the Women's title win has made all the hard work and sacrifice worth it. As for her title rematch against Charlotte at SummerSlam, Sasha says that all she needed was the opportunity, and she knows she can beat Charlotte again.
During the pre-show, Darren Young and Titus O'Neil talk backstage. They talk about going their separate ways and their match against each other tonight, and both say they're going to give it their all tongiht. Titus then says he likes the "Make Darren Young Great Again" idea, but then asks when Darren Young was great to begin with. Titus walks away, and it's clear that Darren Young didn't like the sound of that.
Sasha Banks shows up to start tonight's show. It is announced she will be defending the WWE Women's Championship in a rematch against Charlotte at SummerSlam. The crowd chants "You deserve it!" Sasha thanks the fans, then talks about how she stole - and owned - the show with Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, and says that this year won't be any different at SummerSlam when she defends the WWE Women's Championship against Charlotte. Charlotte shows up, and the crowd chants "You tapped out!" Charlotte says there was a fly, and after Sasha Banks mocks her, Charlotte says she doesn't need Dana Brooke or "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair to beat her at SummerSlam, and calls Sasha "a one-night stand." Sasha tells Charlotte she's the daughter of Ric Flair, and says that she probably is the product of a one-night stand. All of a sudden, Chris Jericho shows up wanting quiet, then says Sasha Banks is disrespecting the royalty that is Charlotte, says that Charlotte has already done more than Ric Flair has, then mocks the "Boss" moniker of Sasha Banks, saying she's really a brat and not a boss. Enzo Amore shows up and kisses Sasha's boss ring, then says he usually comes out with Big Cass, but three's a crowd and he likes to busines by himself sometimes. After kissing up to Sasha Banks, Jericho and Charlotte mock Enzo (with the latter mocking Enzo's love life, saying there's only one word to describe it), then Jericho tells Enzo to watch "it" after Enzo roasts him. Enzo says "it" is his life, then makes fun of Jericho's scarf. Jericho then says he doesn't care how anyone is doing, then General Manager Mick Foley shows up and says he cares how the WWE Universe is doing, that Foley is Jericho's (and everybody in the ring's) boss, that Enzo is a certified G and he's a certified GM, plugs Enzo's guest appearance on Holy Foley (premiering after SummerSlam on the WWE Network), says Sasha Banks set the bar high and that he can't wait to see her and Charlotte in the ring again. He then pits Jericho and Charlotte in a mixed tag team match against Sasha Banks and Enzo Amore...and that match happens next.
Kevin Owens guests on commentary for the next match.
Chris Jericho and Charlotte beat Enzo Amore and Sasha Banks after Dana Brooke shows up and distracts Sasha and Sasha breaks a pinfall to slap Jericho. After the match, Jericho hits a Codebreaker on Enzo, which earns him the wrath of Big Cass, who chases Jericho out of the ring before he checks on Enzo.
The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) were at the Teen Choice Awards last night, where they won the Choice Female Athlete of the Year award.
Braun Strowman's opponent for tonight, Evan Anderholm, is here tonight for the money. He gets $1,000 tonight, but he gets $5,000 if he wins.
Braun Strowman quickly beats Evan Anderholm. (Evan Anderholm is better known as Corey Hollis, who has previously appeared on NXT.)
Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and General Manager Mick Foley are in the back. Stephanie congratulates Mick Foley on the mixed tag team match, then Mark Henry shows up and says it time to re-open the Hall of Pain. Stephanie says she and Foley brought him to Raw to be a mentor, but Mark Henry still has some competitive juices flowing. Mick Foley has an idea: Mark Henry in a match against Rusev for the WWE United States Championship. Mark Henry is all for it.
The Golden Truth (Goldust and R-Truth) play more Pokemon Go in the back.
The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico) beat The Golden Truth (Goldust and R-Truth) when Truth is too busy playing Pokemon Go.
Dwight Howard and Tim Hardaway Jr. of the Atlanta Hawks are in the crowd tonight.
Michael Cole interviews Finn Balor in the ring. Finn says the last few weeks have been unbelievable, and he knew he had to make an impact. He is suddenly interrupted by Seth Rollins, who takes the microphone from Michael Cole and tells Cole he's got this. Rollins compares Balor to a bad Hollywood remake, as Rollins was the first to do things that Balor ended up doing, but Finn tells Seth that he'll be the first Universal Champion. Rollins says that NXT wouldn't be where it is without Finn Balor, then tells the crowd that the Atlanta Braves suck when everyone does the tomahawk. He then tells Finn Balor that around here, he's the man, but Balor says that everywhere he went, he's met someone who said that they're the man just like Rollins, and he turned around and beat them and took their spot. Rollins tells Finn he has no idea who he's dealing with. Finn tells Rollins that he earned his opportunity, while Rollins has always had his opportunities handed to him. Rollins tells Finn he will beat him and have the WWE Universal Championship handed to him at SummerSlam, but Finn says that the only thing Rollins will have handed to him at SummerSlam is his ass. Rollins tries to fight Finn, but Finn quickly overpowers Rollins, causing him to retreat.
Rusev retains the WWE United States Championship against Mark Henry with the Accolade. After the match, Rusev mocks Mark Henry and says America wins the Olympics only because they're rigged, and says no American will take the United States title from him because he is a super-athlete and a natural-born winner. All of a sudden, Roman Reigns appears, gets in the ring and stares down Rusev. Rusev attacks Roman, but Roman comes out on top in the short ensuing brawl.
Titus O'Neil beats Darren Young after reversing the Gut Check, rolling up Darren Young with a schoolboy pin and grabbing the tights.
Commissioner Stephanie McMahon hands General Manager Mick Foley his very own tablet when Sheamus shows up, wanting an opportunity. Cesaro also shows up and starts arguing with Sheamus. Mick Foley tells Cesaro that he was a big-name draft pick until his shoulder turned him into a "big question mark," and tells him to prove himself so he can overcome his "question mark" status. Foley then puts Sheamus and Cesaro in a match against each other, and whoever impresses them more will be in line for a future opportunity on the Raw brand.
Bob Backlund confronts Titus O'Neil backstage for pulling the tights to win earlier tonight, and Titus telll Backlund to shut up or he'll "knock [his] old ass out." Titus is then attacked from behind by Darren Young, putting their friendship to an end.
Nia Jax quickly beats Ariel Monroe. After the match, Byron Saxton interviews Nia Jax, and when he asks how it feels to be in a WWE ring, Nia Jax attacks Ariel Monroe again, then tells Byron to ask Monroe how it feels.
Tom Phillips interviews Sami Zayn. Sami Zayn says that Seth Rollins has a big mouth just like Kevin Owens, and if Seth has something to prove, he has something to prove...and he's going to prove it tonight.
Backstage, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) pull fruit out of a paper bag. Kofi and Big E get an orange, but Woods gets a banana. Woods does not like the fact that he pulled a banana out of a paper bag.
Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) says that they were attacked by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, but the complaint was filed against them, and now only two members of The New Day can be in the ring. The New Day played a game called "Bag of Fruit", where the person who gets the unlucky fruit - in this case, a banana - will not be at ringside. In this case, it is Xavier Woods. Also, The New Day almost make a phallic image on live worldwide television with two oranges and a banana.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) get a surprise victory on The Club - now known as Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) - with a schoolboy on Anderson from Big E. After the match, Gallows & Anderson go on a vicious attack, and when Xavier Woods rushes back into the ring, he fares no better than Kofi and Big E, and Big E gets the worst of it.
Big E is tended to in the trainer's room.
Cesaro beats Sheamus.
As security holds back Sheamus and Cesaro (the two brawled during the break), Heath Slater is in the ring along with Jinder Mahal, who has not been seen in WWE in over two years. General Manager Mick Foley shows up and starts a "battle of the bands" where the two men compete against each other. Slater is reluctant, but Foley says the Raw roster is stacked and there is only one position left. Jinder Mahal takes advantage of the situation, nearly kicks Slater's head off, and beats Heath Slater to become an official part of the Raw roster.
Tom Phillips interviews Chris Jericho. Jericho says Enzo Amore is the marked man, not him, for disrespecting Charlotte and making fun of how he looks. Jericho says that Enzo has Big Cass to have someone watch his back, but Jericho has someone to watch is back. That someone, originally identified as "Jimin Marvenleuder," is Kevin Owens.
Seth Rollins beats Sami Zayn.
Paul Heyman is backstage...
P. Diddy guest stars on next week's Raw!
Paul Heyman is in the ring. He introduces Brock Lesnar into the ring, then says that Lesnar will entertain everyone at SummerSlam and destroy Randy Orton. He says that Lesnar is not here to put his stamp of approval on the new era, and says the new era needs to step up to him, not the other way around. He says Lesnar is not here to court favor with anybody in either the Raw or SmackDown locker room, either. Randy Orton may be one RKO away from putting Brock Lesnar away, but Heyman says that Brock Lesnar will beat his ass at SummerSlam and drag Orton down to Suplex City. When Heyman says that Orton will never hit Lesnar with an RKO, we both figuratively and literally see Randy Orton hit Brock Lesnar with an RKO out of nowhere. Lesnar flees through the crowd, and both Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and General Manager Mick Foley show up to try to get Orton out of the building.
Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!
Earlier today in a WWE.com exclusive, Corey Grave interviewed Sasha Banks. She calls her title win a dream come true. Sasha says she Facetimed Bayley after she won the Women's title because Bayley has supported her since day one and gave it her all against her in NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn and NXT TakeOver: Respect.

Sasha thanks the fans, then talks about how she stole - and owned - the show with Bayley at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, and says that this year won't be any different at SummerSlam when she defends the WWE Women's Championship against Charlotte. Charlotte shows up, and the crowd chants "You tapped out!"

Rollins says that NXT wouldn't be where it is without Finn Balor, then tells the crowd that the Atlanta Braves suck when everyone does the tomahawk. He then tells Finn Balor that around here, he's the man, but Balor says that everywhere he went, he's met someone who said that they're the man just like Rollins, and he turned around and beat them and took their spot. Rollins tells Finn he has no idea who he's dealing with. Finn tells Rollins that he earned his opportunity, while Rollins has always had his opportunities handed to him. Rollins tells Finn he will beat him and have the WWE Universal Championship handed to him at SummerSlam, but Finn says that the only thing Rollins will have handed to him at SummerSlam is his ass. Rollins tries to fight Finn, but Finn quickly overpowers Rollins, causing him to retreat.
Rusev retains the WWE United States Championship against Mark Henry with the Accolade. After the match, Rusev mocks Mark Henry and says America wins the Olympics only because they're rigged, and says no American will take the United States title from him because he is a super-athlete and a natural-born winner. All of a sudden, Roman Reigns appears, gets in the ring and stares down Rusev. Rusev attacks Roman, but Roman comes out on top in the short ensuing brawl.

Mick Foley tells Cesaro that he was a big-name draft pick until his shoulder turned him into a "big question mark," and tells him to prove himself so he can overcome his "question mark" status. Foley then puts Sheamus and Cesaro in a match against each other, and whoever impresses them more will be in line for a future opportunity on the Raw brand.
Bob Backlund confronts Titus O'Neil backstage for pulling the tights to win earlier tonight, and Titus telll Backlund to shut up or he'll "knock [his] old ass out." Titus is then attacked from behind by Darren Young, putting their friendship to an end.

Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) says that they were attacked by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, but the complaint was filed against them, and now only two members of The New Day can be in the ring. The New Day played a game called "Bag of Fruit", where the person who gets the unlucky fruit - in this case, a banana - will not be at ringside. In this case, it is Xavier Woods. Also, The New Day almost make a phallic image on live worldwide television with two oranges and a banana.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) get a surprise victory on The Club - now known as Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) - with a schoolboy on Anderson from Big E. After the match, Gallows & Anderson go on a vicious attack, and when Xavier Woods rushes back into the ring, he fares no better than Kofi and Big E, and Big E gets the worst of it.
Big E is tended to in the trainer's room.
Cesaro beats Sheamus.
As security holds back Sheamus and Cesaro (the two brawled during the break), Heath Slater is in the ring along with Jinder Mahal, who has not been seen in WWE in over two years. General Manager Mick Foley shows up and starts a "battle of the bands" where the two men compete against each other. Slater is reluctant, but Foley says the Raw roster is stacked and there is only one position left. Jinder Mahal takes advantage of the situation, nearly kicks Slater's head off, and beats Heath Slater to become an official part of the Raw roster.
Tom Phillips interviews Chris Jericho. Jericho says Enzo Amore is the marked man, not him, for disrespecting Charlotte and making fun of how he looks. Jericho says that Enzo has Big Cass to have someone watch his back, but Jericho has someone to watch is back. That someone, originally identified as "Jimin Marvenleuder," is Kevin Owens.
Seth Rollins beats Sami Zayn.
Paul Heyman is backstage...
P. Diddy guest stars on next week's Raw!
Paul Heyman is in the ring. He introduces Brock Lesnar into the ring, then says that Lesnar will entertain everyone at SummerSlam and destroy Randy Orton. He says that Lesnar is not here to put his stamp of approval on the new era, and says the new era needs to step up to him, not the other way around. He says Lesnar is not here to court favor with anybody in either the Raw or SmackDown locker room, either. Randy Orton may be one RKO away from putting Brock Lesnar away, but Heyman says that Brock Lesnar will beat his ass at SummerSlam and drag Orton down to Suplex City. When Heyman says that Orton will never hit Lesnar with an RKO, we both figuratively and literally see Randy Orton hit Brock Lesnar with an RKO out of nowhere. Lesnar flees through the crowd, and both Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and General Manager Mick Foley show up to try to get Orton out of the building.
