Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 8, 2016

On tonight's pre-show, it is reported that Daniel Bryan has announced on Twitter that due to medical reasons, he is announcing his retirement, and that more details are to come later tonight.

We see a video tribute to Daniel Bryan.





Stephanie McMahon starts the show. After shrugging off the "Daniel Bryan" chants, she talks about the Triple Threat Match at Fastlane to decide who faces Triple H and WrestleMania 32. Dean Ambrose shows up and tells Stephanie to get straight to the point and start the contract signing, and calls out Brock Lesnar. Stephanie tries to restore order when Roman Reigns shows up. Roman asks what the hold-up is. Stephanie then introduces Brock Lesnar, who shows up with Paul Heyman. The three men then sign the contract, then Heyman says being attacked by The Authority is nothing compared to being attacked by Brock Lesnar. Ambrose then gets in Lesnar' face, and Lesnar responds by giving a beatdown to both Reigns and Ambrose. Triple H shows up at the top of the ramp, and he and Stephanie are pleased by what Lesnar have done.



We look back at Daniel Bryan's time in the original NXT show back in 2010.

Dolph Ziggler uses the ropes to beat Kevin Owens. Owens is livid after the match.



We look back at Daniel Bryan's United States Championship win at Night of Champions 2010.

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) meet The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley). The Dudleys suggest they team up against The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods), for if any one team if worthy of a Tables Match against The New Day, it's The Dudleys. The Usos are up for the idea.

Charlotte will defend the WWE Divas Championship against Brie Bella at Fastlane.

Charlotte beats Alicia Fox with the Figure Eight.



It's official: The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) take on The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) and a mystery partner in an eight-man tag team tables match.

It's time for Miz TV. The Miz is still salty about what AJ Styles did to him on last week's show. As he still talks about it, out comes tonight's guest, Chris Jericho. Jericho says the Seattle, Washington audience deserves a Highlight Reel...and we get one, as the Miz TV set gets redecorated. The Miz gets ticked, saying this isn't right, and Jericho realizes we need a stool and a potted plant from Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose respectively, so we get them. The Miz ends up being the guest, and Jericho asks him about his recent match with AJ Styles. Miz mentions that Styles broke his front teeth, and that he had to go to great length to get them fixed. Jericho laughs about it, but Miz then makes fun of Jericho's loss to Styles as an attempt to say that he isn't the only one upstaged by AJ Styles. Jericho says this has been eating him up inside for the last two weeks, then after he asks if AJ Styles can beat him a second time, he says he doubts it because he is the best at what he does. AJ Styles shows up, then Miz attacks Jericho from behind. AJ attacks both men, but he and Jericho work together to toss Miz out of the ring. The two of them stare down, then brawl. Miz is involved again, but Jericho takes him out of the equation once more. Both Styles and Jericho then stare down before Jericho leaves.



We look back at Daniel Bryan's Money In The Bank ladder match win in 2011.

Bray Wyatt beats Ryback. After the match, The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) attack Ryback.



We look back on the life and times of Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane).

Renee Young interviews The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) as they clean and analyze a table. They say they'll get a partner for their match eventually.

Dean Ambrose still wants Brock Lesnar. Roman Reigns offers to help him, but Ambrose says he wants Lesnar alone.

Before the next match, The Social Outcasts (Heath Slater, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) mention last night's Super Bowl, and Adam Rose says that tonight's top headline will be the "The Florida Gator" (a reference to Titus O'Neil) getting mutilated by "The Radical Mongoose" (himself).

Adam Rose beats Titus O'Neil after the distraction from Heath Slater after Titus plows through The Social Outcasts (Slater, Rose, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) outside the ring.



We look back at SummerSlam 2013, when Daniel Bryan won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the first time.

Dean Ambrose shows up and mocks the F-5, saying Brock Lesnar can't get the job done. He calls out Lesnar again, telling him to get the job done. He says Suplex City has gone soft, and continue to mock both Lesnar and Paul Heyman. Lesnar and Heyman eventually show up, and Lesnar and Ambrose have a brawl in which Lesnar immediately goes on the warpath and comes up on top. After two F-5's to Ambrose, Lesnar leaves, but Ambrose wants more and Lesnar sees this as he stops and looks back. When he gets back in the ring, Reigns shows up, and Ambrose hits a low blow on a distracted Lesnar. Ambrose lays down on the ramp afterward.



The League of Nations (Alberto Del Rio and Rusev) beat The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto).



R-Truth meets Goldust, who is dressed up like Jimi Hendrix. Goldust breaks a guitar, then gets carried away by security.



We look back at #OccupyRAW.



Sasha Banks guests on commentary for the next match.

Tamina beats Becky Lynch after Becky comes to Sasha Banks' aid and attacks Naomi only to run back into the ring and into a Tamina super kick. During the match, it is announced that Sasha and Becky will take on Naomi and Tamina at Fastlane.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) recruit Mark Henry for the eight-man tag team tables match...and he quickly gets into the rhythm.



This Thursday on SmackDown: AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho II!

The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) and Mark Henry after Henry leaves The New Day high and dry after they boss him around. After the match, The Dudley Boyz turn on The Usos and put both of them through tables.



Daniel Bryan shows up, now with shorter hair and a trimmed beard since the last time that we saw him, looking much like he did back in 2011 and 2012. He says that he cut his hair and beard for Wigs For Kids to benefit children diagnosed with pediatric cancer. Bryan admits he has had three concussions in the first five months of his 16-year career, and has been getting more here and there, but he always turned out fine every time and has loved professional wrestling more than anything else. A week and a half ago, however, he found out his brain may not be as good as he thought it was. Having a family to think about as well as future children, he announces his retirement from professional wrestling. He feels nothing but gratitude after a 16-year career, and talks about some of his favorite things from his career. Daniel Bryan then says he is grateful to have done this, not just because the WWE Universe got behind him in the last two years, but also because the WWE Universe made the last time his dad saw him wrestle before he passed away memorable and because he met his girlfriend (and now wife) Brie Bella through the profession. Tomorrow he starts a new life, but tonight, he gets one last "Yes!" chant. Brie Bella joins him in the ring.



The celebration continues on the WWE Network, where the entire WWE roster including Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Vince McMahon stand at the top of the ramp to thank Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan thanks the fans, friends, family, commentary, Lilian Garcia, and finally the locker room.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 18, 2016

WWE pays tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr.



Roman Reigns shows up to start the show. Sunday may truly be one versus all, but tonight's he only worried about one man: Brock Lesnar. He wants him to come down to the ring so he can settle things. Instead, he gets Chris Jericho. Reigns is happy to see him, but he wants Lesnar. Jericho says Lesnar will be in the arena later tonight for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel, and he wants Reigns on the show as well. Reigns says he'll be there, then The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev, King Barrett, Alberto Del Rio) shows up. Sheamus says that the Royal Rumble match won't be "Reigns vs. Lesnar" and that he will be taking the WWE World Heavyweight Championship back from Roman Reigns, then welcomes Chris Jericho back to WWE before cracking a few jokes and wondering why he's not on the Highlight Reel. Jericho makes fun of Sheamus' hair while saying he didn't want him on his show, then Alberto Del Rio jumps in and says that unlike Jericho, he's won a Royal Rumble match. Jericho makes fun of Del Rio, then Rusev says that every day in Bulgaria was a rumble, so this is nothing new to him. Roman Reigns says that he won the Royal Rumble match last year, and that Rusev almost won it that year. Roman decides he's had enough of Rusev, and challenges him to a match right now. Jericho names himself the special guest referee of the match due to The League of Nations wanting to surround the ring.

Vince says Roman is #1 in the Rumble, but after Sunday, he won't be #1 in the WWE Universe.



Charlotte and Ric Flair sit at ringside for the next match.

Becky Lynch beats Tamina with a Disarmher from the top rope. After the match, Becky Lynch wants another shot at the Divas Championship, but Charlotte won't give it to her.

When Jericho asks what would happen if he and Lesnar were the final two and Jericho ended up winning the whole thing, Lesnar shows up. Roman Reigns then makes his appearance before Lesnar can leap onto the ring apron. Lesnar gets in the ring with Roman and gets Speared almost instantly. As Roman goes to work on Lesnar, The League of Nations shows up. Roman and Lesnar take all of them down, then The Wyatt Family appears. Lesnar is out, leaving Roman to deal with the Wyatts alone.

Roman calls out Vince McMahon, but Stephanie says he's not here yet but will be there in time to referee his WWE World Heavyweight Championship defense against Sheamus. Roman makes it clear that nobody will take the World Heavyweight title from him, as if he loses it, he loses his job and can't provide for his family. Stephanie laughs, saying nobody competes against Vince and wins, that charges against Vince have been dropped, and that "she's the boss and he's the help." Stephanie then says she plans to use him until he can't be used anymore once he loses the title, just like Vince used his father, but Roman tells her to worry about Vince, because if he is screwed out of the title tonight, Stephanie will be picking Vince up from a hospital instead of a jail cell.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 14, 2015

The show starts with Stephanie McMahon. She enters the ring and, after explaining what happened last night, is just about to do something to Roman Reigns when Roman himself shows up. Roman says he's a father as well, in response to Stephanie McMahon saying he's a wife and mother, then dares Stephanie to fire him. Stephanie goes on to say that once again, Roman blames everyone but himself for losing the WWE World Heavyweight title and calls him "a failure and a disgrace," but Roman says the real failure and disgrace is Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and their entire family. Steph responds by slapping Roman multiple times, then saying she won't fire him because Triple H told her not to. She does, however, say someone else will, and that someone else is Vince McMahon, who will be in the arena later tonight.



Dolph Ziggler vs. Dean Ambrose ends with Kevin Owens rushing into the ring and tossing Ziggler out of the ring before hitting Ambrose with a pop-up powerbomb out of revenge for last night. Owens then takes the WWE Intercontinental Championship, walks into the ring with it, then hits another pop-up powerbomb on Ambrose. Ziggler goes after Owens after this, but he goes down, too. He then takes Ziggler and powerbombs him onto Ambrose.



Jojo interviews Kevin Owens, who says nobody knows just how badly he needs the Intercontinental title back as much as he does, and that he doesn't have to justify his actions. He says that this is only the beginning.

The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley), Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno aren't done yet. They're in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the home of the original Extreme Championship Wrestling...and they're ready for one more fight with The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) and to take the city back to the extreme.



Stephanie McMahon waits backstage for her father, Vince McMahon.

Vince McMahon shows up during R-Truth vs. Bo Dallas. He tells both men to get out of the ring, and then says that Roman Reigns is sweating profusely...so he gets his chair at ringside and he says he'll make Roman sweat just a little bit more.



After the break, Vince McMahon finally calls Roman Reigns out. Roman Reigns shows up, this time from the entrance ramp. Vince almost immediately makes Roman apologize. Roman refuses, and Vince says that at one time, he would have beaten an apology out of him. He takes his suit and tie off and is about to do it when Sheamus shows up and says he wants the honors. Sheamus says he's beaten Roman before, and that he could do it again. He even puts the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line yet again, and when Vince asks if the WWE Universe wants it, they cheer...then Vince says there's no chance in hell. Roman then takes the mic and makes fun of Vince, saying that "his grapefruits" are "old, shriveled-up prunes." Vince gives Roman his match, with a caveat: if Roman doesn't win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tonight, he's fired. He then kicks Roman Reigns in the nuts and leaves.

They admit they're hurting from last night, and call out The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso). The Usos show up and approach the ring with caution, even though The New Day say they just want to talk tonight. They admit that The Usos have earned their respect, and want to bury the hatchet. The New Day then call out The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto), who are also cautious. The New Day highly commend Sin Cara and Kalisto for their part in the match, but The Lucha Dragons confront Xavier Woods for throwing his trombone into Kalisto's back. Xavier Woods apologizes, but even The Usos don't believe it. Xavier Woods says that all three teams in the ring brought the tag team division to the next level, and want to extend the olive branch. The Usos are the first to shake hands, followed by The Lucha Dragons.

He says that there cannot be four men who could match them, as they are the best of the best. Suddenly, The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) appear in the ring. He calls the four nations part of his world and he's just allowing them to breathe in it. After Bray says his family is in it for the chaos, both sides are about to fight when The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) and Tommy Dreamer show up. Bubba doesn't get much of a speech out before Bray Wyatt argues with them, telling them to get out of his way. But the extreme team has a new member: Rhyno from NXT.

Sheamus shows up, and says he plans to retain the World Heavyweight title at TLC. Roman tires to goad Sheamus into running into the ring and brawling with him, even going so far as to call Sheamus a "tater tot," but Sheamus doesn't bite, even when Roman Reigns removes chairs and tables from the ring...until he picks up the ladder in the center of the ring, folds it back up and throws it right at Sheamus.

He tells Rollins that it looks like he doesn't like the man he sees in the mirror, and that to be the man, sometimes you have to go through Hell and face your demons. Rollins wonders out if Kane is the demon he should face. Stephanie McMahon shows up and chews out Rollins, saying that at least Tom Brady is a team player, and makes a match for Hell In A Cell: Kane vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. She also officially makes Kane Rollins' tag team partner, then adds a stipulation to the title match: if Demon Kane doesn't beat Rollins for the World Heavyweight title, Corporate Kane is relieved of his duties as Director of Operations.

Rusev tells Summer that he didn't like her at first, but he eventually warmed up to her. She then says she has to tell Rusev something, then gets down on one knee, produces an engagement ring and asks Rusev to marry her. Rusev is astounded, and Summer tells him that they could go straight to the top - further than he ever did with Lana - if he just says the word. Rusev says yes...but not yet. He wants gold around his waist before she can have gold around her finger.
