Dana Brooke is puzzled as to who Grayson is, but Shelton Benjamin shows up and confronts Grayson Waller for injuring R-Truth and celebrating it down in NXT before asking why he thinks it is a good idea to show his face.

Backstage, Shelton Benjamin meets with Akira Tozawa and says that while Tozawa and R-Truth had their ups and downs, then tells him that he is trying to maintain his composure and tells Tozawa that Grayson Waller - Tozawa's opponent tonight - is the one who injured R-Truth and that everyone loves R-Truth. He asks Tozawa to "put a whupping" on Grayson Waller and send him back to NXT with his tail tucked between his legs for the locker room. Tozawa says he can do that.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 8, 2022
Iyo Sky, Dakota Kai and Bayley head to the ring to start tonight's show. Bayley says the three of them are excited to see the fans, even though the fans are booing them, and says that while they do not want to be here, the fans need them. She says that she had to do something to salvage the Raw women's division, and says that the fans can't possibly enjoy Becky Lynch playing dress-up every week or cheering for Bianca Belair, saying Bianca would be nothing without her. Bayley says that the three of them had to make a statement by breaking Becky Lynch's shoulder and lighting a fire under the entire women's division in order to bring back what has been missing: the hunger. She says that the fans demand a women's division who is starving and hungry for more, but without her, nobody knows how to ask for her, and she says that to get better answers, to ask better questions. Bayley then asks how she found the potential of Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky and asks how mad they can be not to get opportunities, then Dakota Kai says they will show how mad they are by winning the Women's Tag Team Championship tournament. (In the midst of this, Bayley accidentally calls Dakota Kai "Dakota Sky," which ends up getting made fun of during and after the show.) Suddenly, Alexa Bliss, Asuka and Bianca Belair show up. Alexa says they are not winning the tournament, as they will eventually have to face her and Asuka, and they have more incentive to beat the hell out of them and win the tournament. Bianca says she is not done with Iyo Sky yet and is ready to finish what was started with her, then says that the three of them have no problem dealing with Bayley, Dakota and Iyo Sky right now. Bayley says she is the one calling the shots and that they should have a three-on-three match where it counts at Clash at the Castle. Bianca says "Challenge accepted." Bianca then says that while Bayley is trying to keep control, she feels like losing it. Both teams then brawl all over the ring. Officials eventually show up to restore order, even as the brawl spills out into the crowd and Alexa hits everyone with a cross body off the barricade.
Seth "Freakin'" Rollins beats Angelo Dawkins with the Pedigree after Dawkins runs into the ring steps. After the match, Rollins hits Dawkins with The Stomp, then runs away after Montez Ford slides into the ring.
Backstage, Rey and Dominik Mysterio are met by Edge, who tells them that he has their backs. He says last week was an accident and that he did not mean to hit Dominik with a Spear. When Edge asks if they're cool, Dominik says "We're cool," then shoves Edge. Rey tells Dominik he's known Edge for 20 years, but Dominik says "You've known me for 25" and walks away. Rey tells Edge he will talk to Dominik.
We get a closer look at Tommaso Ciampa, courtesy of Sonic Drive-In.
Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews The Miz and Tommaso Ciampa. Miz chews out Kevin Patrick for using the word "phenomenal" and says that there is nothing phenomenal about "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles helping out Logan Paul. Ciampa says that Harley Race believed in him and trained him, and dedicates his win to Harley Race. We then see a red and blue robe with the word "Race" hung on a wall. Ciampa says that Harley Race will look down on him and that tonight is his moment when Bobby Lashley looks into his eyes and feels his sacrifice before realizing that he has already lost.
Kevin Owens vs. Ezekiel ends as soon as it begins with Owens powerbomb Ezekiel on the ring apron, injuring Ezekiel. The referee calls for medical assistance, and Ezekiel is put on a stretcher as Kevin Owens laughs.
We see footage of Elias being taken out on a stretcher.
Before the next match, Finn Balor says that Rey and Dominik Mysterio cannot get on the same page, then says that The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Rhea Ripley) is not afraid because fear is not real and only a figment of one's imagination. He then says that danger is real and that Rey will find out that he is danger. Damian Priest then tells Edge that if he wanted to, he would lay Edge out, but in two weeks, they will be in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and he will challenge him to a one-on-one match then. He then says they can finish things if Edge still "has a set," and when that happens, The Judgment Day will end him.
Backstage, Rey Mysterio meets with Edge and says he cannot find Dominik Mysterio anywhere. Edge says his offer still stands, and Rey says that he knows Dominik and that Dominik will eventually come around.
Finn Balor beats Rey Mysterio. During the match, Edge shows up and brawls with Damian Priest through the crowd. Later in the match, Rhea Ripley shows up with a beaten-down Dominik Mysterio. This allows Finn Balor to hit a distracted Rey with the 1916 followed by the Coup de Grace for the win.
Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Dana Brooke and Tamina. Dana says it is an opportunity to become a double champion, and with all the competition, she needs a partner who will get her there. She considers Tamina her biggest competition, and that is why she is her partner. Bayley, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky show up and Bayley says they are coming for titles that suit them and that the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships suit them because she was among the first to hold them, even though they wouldn't know about that. Tamina says she does and tells Bayley to keep running her mouth, as she has no problem taking them out of the tournament. Dakota says she will see them in the ring, and Iyo Sky says she does not like Tamina.
Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai beat Dana Brooke and Tamina to advance in the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament.
Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Kevin Owens, who threatens to drop him harder than he did Ezekiel if he sneaks up on him again, then says he knows who he is - unlike Ezekiel - and that he is Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens says there are more eyes on the show than ever and that Raw is "The Kevin Owens Show." (As this goes on, there is a crashed car in the background, and Nikki A.S.H. and Doudrop are near it along with two other people who work backstage.)
Dominik Mysterio is checked on in the trainer's room.
Bobby Lashley retains the WWE United States Championship against Tommaso Ciampa with the Hurt Lock. During the match, The Miz puts Ciampa's foot on the rope, and as Lashley stares down The Miz, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles chases The Miz through the crowd and through the ring. Despite Ciampa sending Lashley into an exposed turnbuckle, Lashley is able to win with the Hurt Lock.
In backstage footage from moments ago, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and The Miz brawl, and officials have to restore order. It is then announced that Styles vs. Miz in a no-disqualification match is official for later tonight.
"The Nigerian Giant" Omos beats Andrea Guercio and Spencer Slade in a two-on-one handicap match. (Andre Guercio is independent wrestler Mambo Italiano, and has previously performed in WWE as Sal Sergio.)
Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Upon hearing that Matt Riddle has an exclusive interview next week and asked about what Riddle has to say about him, Rollins says he is done with Riddle and that Riddle will just use a lot of interjections and keep mentioning Randy Orton. Rollins says that he is the gatekeeper of the industry and that anyone who is good will have to get through him, and says that as good as he is at wrestling, Riddle is even better at flushing his reputation down the toilet and to "ask Dana White." He then says that Riddle will retire and hang up the flip flops for good, and if he does not, he will have to "Cody Rhodes his ass out the door." Rollins then says that if Riddle has something to say next week, then so does he.
We get a closer look at Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis), courtesy of Progressive.
Dolph Ziggler beats Chad Gable despite Chad Gable weaking his leg throughout the match.
Backstage, we hear from Nikki A.S.H. and Doudrop. Nikki says they will be one step closer to the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships next week, and Doudrop says they will crush Alexa Bliss and Asuka's dreams in the process. We then hear from Alexa Bliss and Asuka. Alexa says that Nikki and Doudrop will manifest their dreams, not crush them. Bayley, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky show up and mock them, then security runs by. They leave and pass by "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, who is headed to the ring. (As Alexa Bliss and Asuka are cutting their promo, the crashed car from earlier is being towed.)
Despite interference from Tommaso Ciampa, who ends up being punched off the ring apron and falling through a table, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles beats The Miz in a no-disqualification match. After the match, someone is seen being arrested by three police officers in the front row. The man is quickly identified on Twitter and on WWE's Instagram as Dexter Lumis.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for June 24, 2022
Drew McIntyre heads to the ring to start tonight's show. McIntyre says that Roman Reigns keeps ducking him no matter what he does, and that he will have force his own hand and become Mr. Money In The Bank. He says that while Brock Lesnar has a shot at SummerSlam, he will earn it himself. McIntyre tells Roman that he will hit Roman with a Claymore Kick when he least expects it, then The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland, Butch) show up and Sheamus says that he, not McIntyre, will be the one to cash in and that McIntyre is in the match because WWE official Adam Pearce feels sorry for him. Sheamus tells McIntyre that he does not belong, and while they both go back a long way, McIntyre's only experience is being cashed in on while he is a former contract winner who cashed in on Roman Reigns. Paul Heyman and Adam Pearce show up, and Heyman says that Roman Reigns will retain the WWE Undisputed Championship against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam only to be vulnerable to a cash-in. Heyman then says he is here to ensure Roman Reigns is not cashed in on again, then Peaece says that he was hasty in putting both McIntyre and Sheamus in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match, and that WWE management has overruled his decision. However, the both of them can qualify if they can put their personal rivalry aside and beat The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso).
Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Sami Zayn. Sami says tonight will be a great night for The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso) when The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) keep Drew McIntyre and Sheamus out of the Money In The Bank Ladder match and he beats Shinsuke Nakamura to qualify and become Mr. Money In The Bank. When asked who he will cash in on, Sami says he would never cash in on Roman Reigns.
Sami Zayn beats Shinsuke Nakamura to qualify for the men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match.
Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) agrees that nobody wants to see them face Jinder Mahal and Shanky again, and Kofi says that they have a bone to pick with Jinder after preventing Shanky from dancing. The New Day give the fans what they want, and when they ask for a dancing Shanky, the fans unanimously approve. Woods plays the trombone, and Shanky dances, much to Jinder's chagrin. When Jinder stops Shanky from dancing, Shanky shoves Jinder, and Kofi says that Jinder walked out on Shanky like he walked out on 3MB (Heath Slater, Jinder, Drew McIntyre) before the dancing continues. Suddenly, The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) show up from behind. They attack Shanky from behind before going after and laying out The New Day.
Backstage, Sonya Deville meets with WWE official Adam Pearce, says he has heard rumors that Adam Pearce is in over his head as an official and out of touch with reality, then demands a match after being passed over for several weeks and tells Pearce not to take his anger out on her because his in-ring career was a failure. Pearce puts Sonya in a two-on-one handicap match against Raquel Gonzalez and Lacey Evans.
Before the next match, Xia Li and "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler accompany Sonya Deville to the ring.

Natalya heads to the ring dressed like "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey with a baby stroller. Natalya brags about how she nearly made Ronda tapped out while simultaneously mocking Ronda, then says the Sharpshooter is deadlier than the arm bar and that Ronda has no chance against her. She taps out and apologizes to Ronda's fans, then says the best thing to do is hand the SmackDown Women's Championship to Natalya, retire and leave while she can, then the real Ronda shows up. Ronda says she and Natalya could not be any more different, then says she will not bend over and hand Natalya the title and that Natalya lacks talent and charisma that dressing like her is the closest she will get to the main event. Ronda then compliments the jacket before ripping it off, and Natalya uses the baby stroller as a weapon before retreating.
Backstage, Megan Morant interviews Drew McIntyre and Sheamus. Sheamus says McIntyre will drag him down, and McIntyre tells Sheamus to take the night off so he can get the job done by himself. Sheamus says that McIntyre cannot get the job done on his own and that he will see him in the ring.
Gunther retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Gunther.
Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Paul Heyman. When Kayla says that Paul Heyman may be doing Brock Lesnar the biggest favor in the world, Sami Zayn says that Kayla Braxton is trying to twist his words around and that he would rather cash in on Brock Lesnar, which earns him a stern look from Heyman.

Ronda says she and Natalya could not be any more different, then says she will not bend over and hand Natalya the title and that Natalya lacks talent and charisma that dressing like her is the closest she will get to the main event.

As Brock Lesnar gets his hands on Paul Heyman, Roman hits him multiple times with a chair and the ring steps, busting him open before hitting him on top of the steps before lifting up both the WWE and WWE Universal Championships in front of a downed Lesnar. (When footage of this is uploaded to Instagram by WWE, it soon becomes the most-viewed Instagram video in WWE history.)
Kevin Owens and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins head to the ring to start tonight's show. Rollins says he and Owens are moments away from becoming the new WWE Raw Tag Team Champions, and Owens says that 2022 has been tough for them so far and that whenever they come close to WrestleMania, something beyond their control keeps WrestleMania from happening. Rollins says that their luck changes tonight because they will be taking the titles and going to WrestleMania, then asks Owens what WrestleMania would be like without them. Owens says he cannot and will not think about it, then says that he he and Rollins have to perform at "the dump known as Dallas, Texas" and that only being with Rollins will make it bearable. After footage from the last two weeks of how they got to tonight's match is replayed, Owens says that momentum is on their side and he and Rollins are undeniable, and that they will punch their ticket to WrestleMania as undeniably as Dallas and their opponents suck. Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) show up, and Chad Gable calls Owens' and Rollins' victory "erroneous," a joke and a fluke. Gable says he is an Olympian and has a Master's degree, and if anyone should be competing at WrestleMania, it should be him and Otis. Gable says that they will and retain the Raw tag team titles, then Kevin Patrick interviews RK-Bro (Matt Riddle and Randy Orton) backstage. Riddle says that tonight is the most important night of his career and that they must win, and Orton says they have worked too hard and too far to not regain the titles.
RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Matt Riddle) beat Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) and the team of Seth "Freakin' Rollins and Kevin Owens to become the WWE Raw Tag Team Champions after Riddle tosses Rollins out of the ring following a double-team from Rollins and Owens on Chad Gable to pick the bones of their handiwork and take back the Raw tag titles. After the match, Kevin Patrick interviews RK-Bro. Riddle says they are going to WrestleMania. Orton says he has been doing this for twenty years and has never had as much fun as he is right now, and calls Riddle his friend, saying he would not do this with anyone else as Riddle is his only friend before he says they are going to WrestleMania.
Backstage, Kevin Owens is distraught over tonight's loss.

The crowd chants "Kiss him!" as Tamina almost leaves the ring, then Tamina blows Tozawa a kiss and leaves.

The Miz heads to the ring. Miz says that he is back home in Cleveland, Ohio, then calls the "Miz" chants from his hometown crowd "respect." He then brings out Logan Paul. Logan says it is good to be home and an honor to be Miz's tag team partner at WrestleMania before mentioning his high school wrestling past and that Cleveland made him the man he is today. Miz says that if he followed in his father's footsteps, he would have been flipping burgers at Mr. Hero, but Dominik Mysterio followed in Rey Mysterio's footsteps and got a WWE contract before he was ready. Miz says he has earned all of his accolades and his WWE contract, unlike Dominik, then says that he is booed while Rey is cheered when it comes to cheating to win. Logan says Rey is a legend while Dominik rides on his coattails, and says he and Miz kick ass. Miz then brings out someone with close ties to Cleveland in Jerry "The King" Lawler, who comes out to a Cleveland Browns jersey (as he usually does in the city). Lawler talks about his history with the state of Ohio in the Cleveland Browns and how he was in Cleveland when the Browns won the NFL Championship in 1964, then asks the fans what they would think of having a WrestleMania in Cleveland. The fans cheer. Logan likes the idea, but Miz is not so sure, saying that while he loves Cleveland, it is not exactly "a WrestleMania city," which gets him booed. He also says the only pyro that Cleveland can handle is when the lake is on fire. He also says that he does not live in Cleveland anymore and that whenever anyone finds sports success in Cleveland, they end up leaving, and that Cleveland will never have a WrestleMania because "winners leave Cleveland."
Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Tommaso Ciamp and Bron Breakker. Bron Breakker says he is taking everything in and is excited to be here. He says tonight is a dream come true and that he is grateful to be on tonight's show, and that he will take full advantage of tonight's match.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews The Street Profits. Montez Ford says four weeks is enough time to secure a match at WrestleMania, then says that they have beaten RK-Bro before and that if anyone deserves a tag team title shot, it is them. Angelo says Alpha Academy can head to the back of the line and that Chad Gable is taking Otis' money, and Montez says Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens look like kids who have been cut from their parents' trust funds. Montez then says that anyone with the Raw tag team titles will have to contend with them.
We see a video package of Bron Breakker.
Tommaso Ciampa and Bron Breakker beat The Dirty Dawgs (Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode). After the match, Ziggler says Ciampa and Breakker pulled one over on him and Roode, but says that the second Breakker turns his back on him and looks at Ciampa, he will strike and win the NXT Championship while Breakker's world crumbles around him.

Edge heads to the ring, but when he does, the lights are out and there is a single spotlight on the stage. Edge soon shows up in a black suit and slowly walks to the ring, his entrance theme not playing as purple lights fill the arena. Edge then stands in the middle of the ring and looks around before saying "You think you know me?" He then says AJ Styles does not know him and says that he did what he did to Styles to help him, saying he wants "the best AJ" if Styles wants to face him at WrestleMania. He says that he helped Styles, but at the same time, Styles helped him, as it felt as if his skull cracked open and "the real him" was allowed to fly. Edge says that he has fallen in love with side of himself before he is booed. Edge says he finally feels in control in the ring and in control of everything that can happen in the ring and in the industry, then says he is standing on the mountain of omnipotence and that the view is phenomenal. He then stares deeply into the camera.
Backstage, Kevin Owens paces back and forth before Kevin Patrick interviews him. Owens says he is not as distraught as Seth Rollins, saying he does not have to feel that despair again, as he has had an epiphany. He says his idea will change the WrestleMania landscape, and he will share that idea later tonight.
Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan beat Carmella and Queen Zelina for a shot at the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship after Carmella is pre-occupied with Corey Graves at the announce table.
It is announced that Vader will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2022.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Bianca Belair, who says not to touch her hair. She says she does not need to use her hair as a weapon, but if Becky Lynch wants to grab it, she will use it. She then says that Becky's championship reign will not last forever and that she will walk out of WrestleMania as Raw Women's Champion.
Kevin Owens heads to the ring. Owens admits that he does not have a match at WrestleMania, but he has a way to get there and it depends on the answer he gets for his challenge. Owens says he wants the most stupendous match at WrestleMania, and says the opponent would have to be "some lowlife" from Texas. He dismisses JBL, saying the horns on his limo are more interesting, then says Booker T is a hypocrite for being from Houston but being part of a team called "Harlem Heat" before mocking his "King Booker" gimmick. He also dismisses "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, saying it would be sacrilege for "a proud Canadian" to face "a proud Texan." Owens then says the perfect guest would have to be a broken-down shell of his former self. Owens says nothing would make him happier than to give him a beating and a Stunner before pouring an ice cold glass of milk over his lifeless body. Owens then calls out "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 27, 2021
RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Matt Riddle) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Riddle produces a Christmas card before welcome everyone to tonight's show, then says that if the crowd loves what they did in 2021, they will love what they do in 2022. Riddle says that he did some self-reflecting as well as some "self-Vipering," and as he says that he was transforming into a snake, Orton tells him to go see a doctor before showing what happened last week. Riddle, not knowing what a production truck is, asks how Orton got footage to show up on the TitanTron before Riddle says Otis may be "un-RKO-able" due to his supposed lack of a neck. As Orton says that Otis can be a powerhouse, Chad Gable shows up with Otis and praises Otis' neck before asking how a "nitwit" like Orton got so far ahead of the curve. Gable says that everyone will learn that there is no more dangerous a man or a threat than Otis, as he has taught him everything he knows. He then talks about how he earned his Master's degree with a 4.0 GPA before mocking the crowd for "booing education." He then says he may be too advance for a talent like this, and that maybe even "the mindless morons" of Detroit, Michigan can comprehend the fact that Orton is no match for Otis. Gable then says that Otis will send Orton limping into Day 1 and that it will not be long before he and Otis are champions, but Riddle says that he and Orton are a product of "higher education," and asks what the curriculum of Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) is. Riddle also says that he may have some stuff to teach Randy when he takes Gable on tonight, and Gable says Riddle is what he likes to call "an ignoramus" for wanting to challenge an elite athlete like him days before a big match. Gable then says that if he wants to give him and Otis a chance to take out RK-Bro before their big day, he accepts, and Riddle says that he will have a surprise for Orton after they both win tonight.
Matt Riddle beats Chad Gable. After the match, Otis pounces on Riddle and knocks him out of the ring.
Randy Orton beats Otis after avoiding a Vader Bomb and hitting the RKO out of the corner. After the match, Riddle congratulates Orton for hitting the RKO on Otis, then announces that it is time for Randy's present. He says there is only one present big enough and good enough for Orton: a hug. Orton is reluctant, but he eventually gives Riddle a hug before teasing hitting Riddle with an RKO.
Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Kevin Owens. We see a video message from Big E, who says that he has spent the last few months talking about his opponents and their motivations, but in the end, it is all about him and making all of the sacrifices and tribulations he has lived through worth it. He says this is about him walking out of Day 1 still as WWE Champion. Owens says Big E is wrong, and that while his story is about him and overcoming the odds, it won't happen this week as he is saying it from his house. Owens says only his story matters, and that while he and Seth Rollins took out Bobby Lashley, it is about him becoming champion.
We see another vignette for Veer Mahaan, who is still coming soon to Raw.
Dana Brooke and Reggie beat Tamina and R-Truth. After the match, R-Truth tells Tamina she should be listening to him. Tamina punches at R-Truth, but R-Truth ducks, and Dana and Reggie get the better of Tamina.
Backstage, Megan Morant interviews Nikki A.S.H. Nikki says that Rhea Ripley was victorious without her help, as Rhea did not need. She says she has been inspirational to Rhea despite her being down on her luck, and while Queen Zelina and Carmella are trying to get in their heads, it only makes them stronger. She then tells Zelina and Carmella to put their money where their mouths are as she challenges them to a Women's Tag Team title rematch.
The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat Rey and Dominik Mysterio to win the RK-Bro-Nament and a shot at the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships.
Backstage, The Miz makes it clear to a backstage worker that he only wants the best roses for the renewal of his wedding vows, and also mentions that he has even called in Eric Bischoff to officiate the ceremony. Bischoff shows up and says that he could not turn down the opportunity, and says that the renewal of the vows will be must-see.
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles heads to the ring. Styles talks about how Omos will have him in a match the next time he sees him, then says he is here in the ring and wants to know where Omos is. Styles thinks that Omos is not showing up because he is scared he will not reach his full potential, then says he was that way as well before saying he was not selfish and ungrateful. He says Omos will pay his dues and he will make sure he pays them. He then tells Omos that when they have their match, he will kick his teeth in, as he has over twenty years of experience over him and that while he has seen giants come and go, there is only one AJ Styles. Suddenly, Grayson Waller shows up and mocks Styles, and after Styles gives him attention, says he also has yet to pay his dues and calls him "not yet a Superstar," Styles lets him in the ring. Styles introduces Grayson Waller to the rest of the world, and Grayson says that since Styles came to his house, he says he might as well come to his. As for the subject of paying his dues, all he had to do with get under Styles' skin. He says that Monday nights feels right, and that they will feel better when Omos is done with Styles and he takes Styles' spot. Styles says this is where stars are made and that Grayson is not even close to one. Styles also offers to show Grayson around before showing him the lights on the way out, then Apollo Crews and Commander Azeez show up. Apollo says he and Styles are similar, yet Styles' giant has left him while he and Azeez are a united front, and while Omos is not here, Azeez is. Azeez says that if Styles is interested in slaying giants, he will face him right now. Styles accepts Azeez's challenge.
Backstage, Megan Morant interviews Carmella. Carmella says she and Queen Zelina have accepted Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley have accepted their tag team title rematch to put them back in their place, as nobody compares to her and Zelina despite her appreciation for Rhea Ripley's fashion sense. She says that since the challenge is for a tag team match, Nikki A.S.H. will eventually have to tag in, as Nikki A.S.H. is not even close to a superhero and "almost second-best," and "almost" doesn't count.
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles beats Apollo Crews. After the match, Styles gets away from Commander Azeez. As Azeez helps Apollo up, Styles hits him with the Phenomenal Forearm and successfully fends him off.
We hear from Seth Rollins, who says Kevin Owens is trying to take all the credit for what they did to Bobby Lashley before saying he is in the giving mood for the holidays and will give him all the credit before he takes what is rightfully his: the WWE Championship.
Kevin Owens heads to the ring. Owens says he is in a festive mood tonight after having a great Christmas with his family and main eventing in Madison Square Garden, and says the world will rejoice when he becomes WWE Champion at Day 1. He says being the only person in the WWE Championship match here tonight makes him smarter than everyone else in the match, and says that it is important to be in "a dump like Detroit, Michigan" as the fans will get a WWE Champion they can be proud of. He says the odds may be against him due to who he is up against, then mentions that Seth Rollins took out Bobby Lashley last week, how Lashley is dealing with "MVP's crap", and how he and Rollins are friends and how his plans will make him WWE Champion. MVP shows up and says Owens could not be more wrong about his Day 1 predictions before giving him credit for his month-long plan to get things to go his way before stating that Lashley has not forgotten about him. He says that according to Lashley, it takes more than The Stomp or a ring apron powerbomb to take Lashley, and that Lashley will wreak absolute havoc on Seth Rollins before, according to a text message, he rips Owens' "wet, noodle-like arms off his endomorphic body." Lashley also states in the text message that it does not matter who he beats, as everyone is back in "The Almighty Era." Kevin says he still feels good about his odds and his chances of winning, then The Hurt Business (Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin) show up. Cedric says Kevin Owens is right about how one man cannot beat three, and Shelton says even Lashley cannot take on the whole world. Cedric says Lashley was at his best in The Hurt Business, but MVP says Lashley needs no one. MVP then says that they can do business, however, and Owens cuts to the chase and says Cedric wants to face him in the ring and win in order to get The Hurt Business back together as a four-man faction. MVP agrees on this, and Cedric vs. Owens begins.
MVP guests on commentary for the next match.
Kevin Owens beats Cedric Alexander. After the match, Shelton Benjamin wants Kevin Owens in the ring, and as he goes for the microphone, Owens hits Shelton with the Stunner.
We see a video package chronicling the feud between Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch.
In backstage footage from earlier today, Priest says everyone has a darkness and that he keeps his at bay, but last week, his came out. He says that if he is disrespected, his darkness will take over and there is nothing anyone can do about it. He says that Dolph Ziggler may have won just about every title there is and can steal the show, if Ziggler triggers his rage, it will be a big mistake for him, and it will ensure that the United States title will stay with him where it belongs.
Dolph Ziggler beats Damian Priest by disqualification after Damian Priest refuses to listen to the referee's five count in the corner as he beats up Ziggler in a blind rage. Damian Priest retains the WWE United States Championship. After the match, Damian Priest throws Dolph Ziggler into the barricade before hitting the Reckoning on the outside.
Eric Bischoff heads to the ring to officiate the renewal of The Miz and Maryse's wedding vows. Bischoff says he is glad to be back in a WWE ring, especially for a cherished moment. He then introduces The Miz first, followed by Maryse. Miz trips on the steps on the way to the ring. Miz talks about the year that he has hard so far, and says that at Day 1, he will dominate against Edge. He then says that in honor of Day 1, he and Maryse will bring the fans something uplifting by renewing their wedding vows. After Miz mocks Detroit, Michigan and thanks Eric Bischoff, Maryse renews her vows first and gets viciously booed before saying that Miz will prove he is a better father, husband and Superstar than Edge at Day 1. Miz mocks Detroit, Michigan again, saying the fans' opinions don't matter because they root for the Detroit Lions. He then renews part of his vows in French before going into Spanish before going into English. Miz and Maryse renew their vows, then Bischoff asks if anyone has any objections before he says "Hell, we all know how this is gonna turn out!" and Edge shows up. Edge carefully walks up the steps to spite Miz, and says he is not here to wreck anything or insult Miz because he finally has a match against Miz and he is going to beat his ass. Miz says he and Maryse knew he would show up to ruin things and gave him a front row seat to what true love looks like, then Edge admits they embarrassed him for weeks before saying what goes around comes around. After Edge says he will embarrass them, Miz and Maryse frantically look around before saying he was messing with them. Edge then asks "You didn't want this to be a white wedding, did you?" before walking away. The arena lights glow red, Gangrel's music hits, then dark brown colored goop drops onto Miz and Maryse to end the show.
This week on Raw Talk: Eric Bischoff! MVP! The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford)!
Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!
Matt Riddle beats Chad Gable. After the match, Otis pounces on Riddle and knocks him out of the ring.
Randy Orton beats Otis after avoiding a Vader Bomb and hitting the RKO out of the corner. After the match, Riddle congratulates Orton for hitting the RKO on Otis, then announces that it is time for Randy's present. He says there is only one present big enough and good enough for Orton: a hug. Orton is reluctant, but he eventually gives Riddle a hug before teasing hitting Riddle with an RKO.
Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Kevin Owens. We see a video message from Big E, who says that he has spent the last few months talking about his opponents and their motivations, but in the end, it is all about him and making all of the sacrifices and tribulations he has lived through worth it. He says this is about him walking out of Day 1 still as WWE Champion. Owens says Big E is wrong, and that while his story is about him and overcoming the odds, it won't happen this week as he is saying it from his house. Owens says only his story matters, and that while he and Seth Rollins took out Bobby Lashley, it is about him becoming champion.
We see another vignette for Veer Mahaan, who is still coming soon to Raw.
Dana Brooke and Reggie beat Tamina and R-Truth. After the match, R-Truth tells Tamina she should be listening to him. Tamina punches at R-Truth, but R-Truth ducks, and Dana and Reggie get the better of Tamina.
Backstage, Megan Morant interviews Nikki A.S.H. Nikki says that Rhea Ripley was victorious without her help, as Rhea did not need. She says she has been inspirational to Rhea despite her being down on her luck, and while Queen Zelina and Carmella are trying to get in their heads, it only makes them stronger. She then tells Zelina and Carmella to put their money where their mouths are as she challenges them to a Women's Tag Team title rematch.
The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat Rey and Dominik Mysterio to win the RK-Bro-Nament and a shot at the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships.
Backstage, The Miz makes it clear to a backstage worker that he only wants the best roses for the renewal of his wedding vows, and also mentions that he has even called in Eric Bischoff to officiate the ceremony. Bischoff shows up and says that he could not turn down the opportunity, and says that the renewal of the vows will be must-see.
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles heads to the ring. Styles talks about how Omos will have him in a match the next time he sees him, then says he is here in the ring and wants to know where Omos is. Styles thinks that Omos is not showing up because he is scared he will not reach his full potential, then says he was that way as well before saying he was not selfish and ungrateful. He says Omos will pay his dues and he will make sure he pays them. He then tells Omos that when they have their match, he will kick his teeth in, as he has over twenty years of experience over him and that while he has seen giants come and go, there is only one AJ Styles. Suddenly, Grayson Waller shows up and mocks Styles, and after Styles gives him attention, says he also has yet to pay his dues and calls him "not yet a Superstar," Styles lets him in the ring. Styles introduces Grayson Waller to the rest of the world, and Grayson says that since Styles came to his house, he says he might as well come to his. As for the subject of paying his dues, all he had to do with get under Styles' skin. He says that Monday nights feels right, and that they will feel better when Omos is done with Styles and he takes Styles' spot. Styles says this is where stars are made and that Grayson is not even close to one. Styles also offers to show Grayson around before showing him the lights on the way out, then Apollo Crews and Commander Azeez show up. Apollo says he and Styles are similar, yet Styles' giant has left him while he and Azeez are a united front, and while Omos is not here, Azeez is. Azeez says that if Styles is interested in slaying giants, he will face him right now. Styles accepts Azeez's challenge.
Backstage, Megan Morant interviews Carmella. Carmella says she and Queen Zelina have accepted Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley have accepted their tag team title rematch to put them back in their place, as nobody compares to her and Zelina despite her appreciation for Rhea Ripley's fashion sense. She says that since the challenge is for a tag team match, Nikki A.S.H. will eventually have to tag in, as Nikki A.S.H. is not even close to a superhero and "almost second-best," and "almost" doesn't count.
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles beats Apollo Crews. After the match, Styles gets away from Commander Azeez. As Azeez helps Apollo up, Styles hits him with the Phenomenal Forearm and successfully fends him off.
We hear from Seth Rollins, who says Kevin Owens is trying to take all the credit for what they did to Bobby Lashley before saying he is in the giving mood for the holidays and will give him all the credit before he takes what is rightfully his: the WWE Championship.
Kevin Owens heads to the ring. Owens says he is in a festive mood tonight after having a great Christmas with his family and main eventing in Madison Square Garden, and says the world will rejoice when he becomes WWE Champion at Day 1. He says being the only person in the WWE Championship match here tonight makes him smarter than everyone else in the match, and says that it is important to be in "a dump like Detroit, Michigan" as the fans will get a WWE Champion they can be proud of. He says the odds may be against him due to who he is up against, then mentions that Seth Rollins took out Bobby Lashley last week, how Lashley is dealing with "MVP's crap", and how he and Rollins are friends and how his plans will make him WWE Champion. MVP shows up and says Owens could not be more wrong about his Day 1 predictions before giving him credit for his month-long plan to get things to go his way before stating that Lashley has not forgotten about him. He says that according to Lashley, it takes more than The Stomp or a ring apron powerbomb to take Lashley, and that Lashley will wreak absolute havoc on Seth Rollins before, according to a text message, he rips Owens' "wet, noodle-like arms off his endomorphic body." Lashley also states in the text message that it does not matter who he beats, as everyone is back in "The Almighty Era." Kevin says he still feels good about his odds and his chances of winning, then The Hurt Business (Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin) show up. Cedric says Kevin Owens is right about how one man cannot beat three, and Shelton says even Lashley cannot take on the whole world. Cedric says Lashley was at his best in The Hurt Business, but MVP says Lashley needs no one. MVP then says that they can do business, however, and Owens cuts to the chase and says Cedric wants to face him in the ring and win in order to get The Hurt Business back together as a four-man faction. MVP agrees on this, and Cedric vs. Owens begins.
MVP guests on commentary for the next match.
Kevin Owens beats Cedric Alexander. After the match, Shelton Benjamin wants Kevin Owens in the ring, and as he goes for the microphone, Owens hits Shelton with the Stunner.
We see a video package chronicling the feud between Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch.
In backstage footage from earlier today, Priest says everyone has a darkness and that he keeps his at bay, but last week, his came out. He says that if he is disrespected, his darkness will take over and there is nothing anyone can do about it. He says that Dolph Ziggler may have won just about every title there is and can steal the show, if Ziggler triggers his rage, it will be a big mistake for him, and it will ensure that the United States title will stay with him where it belongs.
Dolph Ziggler beats Damian Priest by disqualification after Damian Priest refuses to listen to the referee's five count in the corner as he beats up Ziggler in a blind rage. Damian Priest retains the WWE United States Championship. After the match, Damian Priest throws Dolph Ziggler into the barricade before hitting the Reckoning on the outside.
Eric Bischoff heads to the ring to officiate the renewal of The Miz and Maryse's wedding vows. Bischoff says he is glad to be back in a WWE ring, especially for a cherished moment. He then introduces The Miz first, followed by Maryse. Miz trips on the steps on the way to the ring. Miz talks about the year that he has hard so far, and says that at Day 1, he will dominate against Edge. He then says that in honor of Day 1, he and Maryse will bring the fans something uplifting by renewing their wedding vows. After Miz mocks Detroit, Michigan and thanks Eric Bischoff, Maryse renews her vows first and gets viciously booed before saying that Miz will prove he is a better father, husband and Superstar than Edge at Day 1.

Deville says there is some security footage, and McMahon says that whoever can give him information or the culprit will get a match with Big E tonight.
Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Randy Orton. Much like Kevin, Randy has no idea where Matt Riddle and says it is not like him to miss a match.

Becky Lynch heads to the ring. Becky talks about how she has had some of the biggest moments of her career in Brooklyn, New York, such as when she slapped Charlotte Flair in the face, and says that last night was the culmination of the last ten years. She says she wanted to hurt, embarrass and main Charlotte and that Charlotte wanted to do the same, and that the fans enjoyed it regardless of how it would end, but in the end, she won and she is over and done with Charlotte. She says it is time to move on to something fresh and new because it is what the fans love, and asks who the fans want to be on top before saying she used to put stock in the fans' opinion until she realized they were full of crap. Becky says she saw ten women break their backs only for the fans to do their chants and songs, but in the end, she agrees with the fans, because none of them have what it takes to beat her, especially Liv Morgan. She says the fans only love Liv Morgan because she is the underdog and has "won one match in four years," then says they will hate her when she loses because not every underdog has their day. She then says nobody will take the Raw Women's title from her.
Before the next match, Bianca Belair says she came all the way back from being in a 4-on-1 situation because the fans cheered her on and she was able to prove she was the best and become the sole survivor. She hopes that Doudrop will stop being so salty and find something better to do like looking for Cleopatra's Egg than coming for her, then says it is time to show Tamina that nobody can whup her because she is the "EST" of WWE.

Before the next match, Seth Rollins says he did what he was born to do last night and took Raw, put it over his shoulder and lead his team to victory. Seth then says that the best part of it is that he did it all by himself, as the rest of his team was eliminated. He says Kevin Owens proved he was a liar, a snake and a coward when he walked out. He also says that Bobby Lashley got himself counted and that Austin Theory tried so hard but just wasn't good enough, then says Finn Balor got Brogue Kicked by Sheamus and pinned and was no help. Rollins says that he will show Finn Balor what it means to be the best. Finn Balor then shows up for the next match before Rollins gets done speaking. Seth Rollins then attacks Finn Balor from behind before the bell rings. This leads to a brawl between Rollins and Finn Balor on the outside, which leads to Seth Rollins hitting Finn Balor with the ring steps. Rollins then hits Finn Balor with the stomp back in the ring, ending their match before it can start. Rollins heads towards the back at first, but he gets back in the ring and hits Finn Balor with The Stomp again. When Rollins heads to the back for real, he is suddenly attacked by a fan.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for November 15, 2021
Big E heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He says that ever since he has become WWE Champion, a lot of people have their eyes on him, but on Thanksgiving, he has plenty to give, including the leftovers. Big E then focuses his attention to Roman Reigns. Big E says it was supposed to be brand vs. brand and champion vs. champion, but The Usos made it personal when they put their hands on his family, and for that, he has to "beat [Roman's] ass like [he] stole something" and that there are empty beds in the hospital for him. He also says that he must take a piece of Roman that Roman can never get back. Big E then says that this is Sunday and that tonight is Monday Night Raw, and tells Kevin Owens to bring his "lying, treacherous carcass" to the ring. Owens shows up and says that while there is nothing he would like more than to beat up Big E, he accuses Big E of costing him his match last week, and snapped after Big E's actions caused the locker room to question him. Owens says that everyone who is judging him in the locker room, including Big E, can go to hell, and since perception is reality, he might as well be the bad guy everyone wants him to be and become even worse when he breaks bad on everyone. He says that this includes Big E, whom Owens says deserves it, as everything that will happen from here on out will be Big E's fault. Big E tells Owens to get in the ring, but Owens heads to the back. Big E chases Owens, but he is soon attacked from behind, dragged into the ring and further ganged up on by The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). Jey tells Big E that Roman Reigns will see him Sunday, and that RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Matt Riddle) can "get this work." Matt Riddle runs into the ring and fights The Usos, and Big E recovers and helps Riddle clean house.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 4, 2021
It is announced that changes made in the WWE Draft will not take effect until after Crown Jewel.
Becky Lynch shows up to start tonight's show. Becky says it has been a year and a half since she has been on Raw, and that it is good to be back. She then says she will make a few executives unhappy by jumping the gun before saying she does whatever she wants and proclaiming herself to be the first draft pick of the night. She admits that while she is still SmackDown Women's Champion, she never lost the Raw title, and the person holding it now is someone she has gone back and forth with a lot. She says she has gotten better since last time and Charlotte Flair cannot stand it. Becky says it is time to become "Becky Two Belts" once again, then Charlotte Flair shows up. Charlotte reminds Becky that she used to be "Becky Pre-Show" before she made her famous, then tells her to get over her inferiority complex, as she will always be looking up to her. After Charlotte says that she and Becky have unfinished business, Bianca Belair shows up. Bianca says she has unfinished with both Charlotte and Becky, and says they must feel threatened after taking cheap shots at her on Friday night. She says neither of them are ready for her to be "the EST of Raw," because she goes here now. Charlotte tells her to be quiet as the champions are having a conversation, and Bianca takes this as disrespect, leading to a "Charlotte sucks" chant from the fans before saying Charlotte isn't on Raw anymore and tells Becky to "go get [her] girl." Charlotte says she is no one's girl and that she is a woman, and while she respects Bianca's accomplishments, Bianca should only be asking for her autograph and thanking her for paving the way for her. Becky tells Bianca that if she were her, she would fight Charlotte, but she's beaten her so much that she has nothing left to prove. She then says Bianca and Charlotte have never fought before and then wonders what would happen. Charlotte says she only gives out opportunities, not charities, and Becky says "I wouldn't take that." Bianca then takes off her earrings and Charlotte almost leaves, then WWE officials Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville show up. They make Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair official, then announce that Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley will defend the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships in a rematch against Natalya and Tamina. Sonya then kicks the show off with a United States Championship match, with Jeff Hardy facing Damian Priest for the title.

After the match, Damian Priest helps Jeff Hardy up and gives him the ring. Sarah Schreiber then interviews Jeff Hardy, who says that he has reached the highest of highs and has also crashed back down to reality, then says SmackDown might show a different side and ego of himself and says he will make the most of his brand move. Suddenly, Austin Theory shows up with a phone in his hand. He introduces himself and says his main roster draft dream has come true, and now he is standing in front of Jeff Hardy.

Orton says that it is time that Omos went one-on-one with him, much tot he surprise of Riddle.

Heyman says it is due to his influence that The Usos are still on SmackDown, saying he is the advisor to the Tribal Chief and "the warden of The Usos." When Kevin Patrick asks if this is why Brock Lesnar is a free agent, The Usos stare at him menacingly before walking away. Heyman is no longer a happy man after this.

Big E says it feels great to be on Raw, then says he would be lying if the past week or so did not meet him with some challenges, such as being separated from Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods again and being in the most grueling match of his career against Bobby Lashley. He says that before he could even breathe, Drew McIntyre stepped up and declared himself as the next challenger, and he asks McIntyre to come to the ring and speak his mind. Drew McIntyre shows up and declares that it is "a Drew day," and says that while he has been drafted to SmackDown, he has unfinished business on Raw and has been biding him time to wait for someone to liberate the WWE Championship, which Big E has done. McIntyre tells Big E that he deserves to be WWE Champion, and says he wanted to congratulate him in person, which he does. He says that while Lashley was cashed in on, he was cashed in on himself thanks to Lashley, and says Lashley deserved it. McIntyre then challenges Big E for the WWE Championship. It is then that Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode suddenly show up, and Robert Roode says that while they are waiting to be drafted, they could not help but overhear the conversation. Ziggler says he is a fan of Big E and that he is proud of him, then wants to know why Big E failed to thank him. We then see a video package of Big E being Ziggler's enforcer back in 2013, and Ziggler says that without him, there is no Big E or New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods). McIntyre says Ziggler may have a point, but Ziggler says McIntyre is next, and brings up the fact that McIntyre came back to the main roster in 2018, also as Ziggler's enforcer, and becoming Raw tag team champion in the process of becoming WWE Champion. Ziggler says that all he wants is a simple "thank you," saying he did the work and McIntyre rode the coattails. Big E and McIntyre have a quick huddle, then McIntyre says Ziggler "upgraded" to Roode. Roode says he is twice the friend and tag partner McIntyre ever was, and tells Big E he puts the "body" in bodyguard, saying people call him "Big Bob." Big E says nobody calls him Big Bob, then Ziggler insists on a simple "thank you" again. Ziggler says that he is "a perfect gentleman," but McIntyre asks the fans what they think and the fans are not approving. Big E says that he and McIntyre do owe them something - an ass whupping - and challenges them to a tag team match against himself and McIntyre right now.

He invites Lashley to the ring so he can intentionally break his neck, then Lashley shows up. Lashley tells Goldberg that what happened to Gage was a misunderstanding, and that Goldberg is out of his mind if he thinks he will enter the ring and ruin his suit just to beat him up again. He tells Goldberg to look at things his way and stop assassinating his character by perpetrating a myth that he intentionally hurt his son, and says he owes him an apology. He then says that he will give Goldberg the match he wants against him at Crown Jewel on the condition that it is no-holds-barred. Goldberg thanks Lashley, saying that gives him a license to kill. He then apologizes to Lashley's kids for how he will leave him lying in the middle of the ring gasping for air, because Lashley is next and Lashley is dead. Lashley tells Goldberg that one cannot kill "The Almighty," and tells him that if Gage has the balls to do what he did last time, it will not be a misunderstanding.

Styles and Omos show up, and Styles says that they were celebrating their victory over Riddle before calling Orton "insignificant" and that it would not matter if Omos wanted to destroy him. He also says that Riddle has no brain cells left to stop them from taking the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships, and says that when they take the titles back, they can shove it in their faces and gloat about how they beat RK-Bro.

He then says that he will give Goldberg the match he wants against him at Crown Jewel on the condition that it is no-holds-barred. Goldberg thanks Lashley, saying that gives him a license to kill. He then apologizes to Lashley's kids for how he will leave him lying in the middle of the ring gasping for air, because Lashley is next and Lashley is dead. Lashley tells Goldberg that one cannot kill "The Almighty," and tells him that if Gage has the balls to do what he did last time, it will not be a misunderstanding.

Styles and Omos show up, and Styles says that they were celebrating their victory over Riddle before calling Orton "insignificant" and that it would not matter if Omos wanted to destroy him. He also says that Riddle has no brain cells left to stop them from taking the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships, and says that when they take the titles back, they can shove it in their faces and gloat about how they beat RK-Bro.
