Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 20, 2018

Roman Reigns shows up to start tonight's show. Roman says that he is a man of his word, and that he beat Brock Lesnar like he said he would. He also said that when he won the Universal title, he would defend it, and he plans on doing that tonight. Typically, he would make it easy and make it an open challenge, but he has one man in mind, as this person won it two years ago, got hurt and never had an opportunity at it again. Since he won it in Brooklyn, New York just like this person, he will defend the title against that person: Finn Balor. Finn Balor shows up and accepts Roman's challenge, and says he will take back the Universal Championship tonight. Both men then shake hands. Suddenly, Constable Baron Corbin shows up, and says that as exciting it would be to see the match, it will not happen. He says that if Finn thinks he will be rewarded for sending "The Demon" last week, he has another thing coming. He considers this cheating and a breach of contract, and then says he never heard the bell ring due to all the lights and sounds. Because of that, Finn is facing him tonight. Roman tells Corbin they're booing him, and that he would forget last night too if he sucked so badly. After Corbin he's not as worried about Braun Strowman as he is, General Manager Kurt Angle shows up. Angle tells Corbin that he makes the matches, not Corbin, and while he doesn't care what Corbin thinks, he cares what the fans think. He asks if they want to see Finn Balor vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal title tonight, the fans cheer. He officially makes that the main event for tonight, then tells Corbin he has a match right now against Bobby Lashley.

Bobby Lashley beats Baron Corbin.

Backstage, General Manager Kurt Angle is met by Paul Heyman. Heyman says he has a very specific mission this evening, and says his client Brock Lesnar wants to invoke his rematch clause. Angle says that the contract for the SummerSlam Universal Championship match did not state when the rematch will be, and that Lesnar may be waiting a long time before getting his rematch. Heyman says that Lesnar wants to invoke his rematch clause at Hell In A Cell. Angle says it will be a cold day in Hell before that happens.

Backstage, Constable Baron Corbin tells General Manager Kurt Angle that he is not a dog that does tricks, and that he is tired of not getting what he wants. Angle says his job is to do what is best for the fans, not him. Corbin then tells him that Commissioner Stephanie McMahon is here, and that he is going to talk to her.

The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan) beat Sasha Banks, Bayley and Ember Moon.

WWE COO Triple H shows up. He talks about how NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV and SummerSlam brought the roof off the arena, then says he will work until the day he dies to make sure WWE is here for everyone. He also says weekends like this make him want to rip the three-piece suit off, lace up the boots and become Triple H again, so when WWE CEO wanted him to wrestle in Australia, he was up for it. When he found out his match was against The Undertaker, he was not up to it, as one things stands out more than everything else he has done in the wrestling business: the end of their "End of an Era" match at WrestleMania 28. He talks about how he, The Undertaker and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels looking at the ring from the ring is the realest thing he had ever experienced in his career, and said it changed the three of them as they knew an era. Afterwards, Shawn left, The Undertaker's streak ended and he put the three-piece suit back on, as they all knew it was over. He says the sound, the feeling and the goosebumps were gone, and that he realized their era was something special. The crowd chants "You still got it!" before Triple H says that for the same reason he turned the match down, he picked the phone back up and told Vince he was in, and that he would take off the suit, tape back up, lace his boots up and become "The Game" again. He says he would do that if The Undertaker would do the same and become "The Phenom" one more time. He then says at Super Show-Down, the sound, feeling and goosebumps will be back, for the era will be back as they go at it one last time.

Elias is in the ring. Elias says he has had to fire three crew members, and that whoever messed with him last night has yet to understand that WWE stands for "Walk With Elias." He says that his doctor has told him not to return to Brooklyn, New York as the people there are bad for his health, but Elias feels he needs to perform and that he is about to do just that. As Elias performs, he is suddenly interrupted by Curt Hawkins. He says he knows that Elias is looking for a #1 hit, and Curt Hawkins says he can be the first guy to lose to him. Hawkins says he feels so lucky tonight, and that this is his town, not Elias'. He proposes that they go ahead and end his 218-match losing streak tonight. Elias tells him he is a loser, just like everyone else here, and that when he is in the ring, it is his stage and he does not belong. He then tells Hawkins to get out of Brooklyn. Curt Hawkins heads towards the back, but as Elias plays his guitar, Hawkins asks if he is going to hide behind his guitar and "goofy" scarf or if he will fight him, as he is challenging him right now. This starts the next match.

She says that when she thinks of today's women's division, she thinks of one word: proud. She is proud of the women in WWE right now, the fact that Evolution is taking place next month and of "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey's championship win from last night. After a short recap of what happened last night, Stephanie says she is proud of Ronda Rousey, for without her and her own efforts, Ronda would not be where she is in WWE right now and the women in WWE would not want to be like her or Ronda. As Stephanie introduces her as her protege, Ronda Rousey shows up and tells Stephanie this is about all the women in the crowd and at ringside, not Stephanie. She then tells everyone at ringside to get in the ring, as they deserve to be here. Stephanie says this is conduct unbecoming a champion as everyone gets on the apron, but Stephanie says this isn't about one person, and credits everyone else - who is now on the apron - for their roles in the Women's Revolution. Ronda says she is not Brock Lesnar, and that she is going to be a fighting champion each and every night and that she cannot wait to face everyone on the apron. Stephanie says she does not who Ronda is anymore, and wants the Ronda Rousey that rips people's arms off. She tries to turn everyone against Ronda, saying she will rip their arms off and wipe them off so she can stand in the spotlight. Ronda says she is not here to break arms unless they deserve it, and stares at Stephanie. She then grabs Stephanie by the arm and puts her in the arm bar while everyone else watches. The faces then join Ronda in the ring while the heels check on Stephanie on the outside.

Before the next match, Bo Dallas says that life has its twists and turns. A few weeks ago, they had never won a single match on Raw, but then, the letter B changed the WWE forever, and they are now the undefeated Raw tag team champs.

Backstage, Alexa Bliss and Constable Baron Corbin check on Commissioner Stephanie McMahon when General Manager Kurt Angle shows up. Stephanie and Corbin chew out Angle, and blame him for "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey breaking Stephanie's arm. Stephanie says Angle needs a vacation and makes Corbin the Acting General Manager of Raw. Angle leaves, irritated.

Roman Reigns retains the WWE Universal Championship against Finn Balor, despite the appearance of Braun Strowman distracting Roman. Strowman boots Roman and cashes in the Money In The Bank contract, but before the bell can ring, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins show up, this time clad in black, with The Shield's TitanTron and music playing, signifying that The Shield (Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns) has been reformed. Despite being surrounded, Braun fights The Shield anyway, and the end results is The Shield overpowering Braun Strowman before nearly powerbombing him through an announce table.

Instead of a tag team rematch, he wants to fight Lashley, and if he can't have him at Extreme Rules, he wants him tonight. He says that Lashley is an egomaniac and that Lashley was not nor will ever be the guy, because he is the guy around here. Suddenly, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre show up, and Dolph says Roman has to make everything about him, walks around like he owns the place and declare everything has to go through him. Drew mentions Roman making the save for Seth Rollins last week, then Dolph says he and Drew are out here to go through him for sticking his nose in their business. Drew says it is only fair to return the favor. This leads to a 2-on-1 brawl between both sides, and Roman is easily outnumbered. Suddenly, Seth Rollins runs to the ring and evens the numbers game.

Corbin thanks Finn for coming out, and asks him to come into the ring, apologize, admit he was wrong and promise he will never do what he did last week again. Corbin apologizes to Finn first to prove he is not singling him out. Finn makes a joke about Corbin's vest, and Corbin gives him another chance to apologize. Finn says Corbin deserves an apology...to whoever gave him his haircut. Corbin tells Finn he is just trying to help, as is it hard for guys like Finn as they are not guys like him. He says Stephanie picked him as Constable of Raw for a reason, and demands that Finn apologize. Finn says he is sorry...that Corbin lost a chance at respect after becoming Stephanie's stooge.

Heyman says he is the one who gloats, and gloats about how Lesnar busted Roman Reigns open, sent him to Suplex City and hit multiple F5's as if Roman was tomorrow's trash. He then says none of this means anything to Lesnar, as Lesnar does not dwell in the past, even when it was only two weeks ago at WrestleMania. Heyman says Lesnar looks to the future, especially when it is this Friday in Saudi Arabia at Greatest Royal Rumble. As Heyman hypes up Lesnar's steel cage match with Roman for the Universal title, he says that the steel cage match was not Roman's idea and that Lesnar earned the match by beating Roman at WrestleMania.

On the other, Brock Lesnar has not made it yet, but he will be here. Angle then addresses Braun Strowman's win in the tag team battle royal last week. Suddenly, Roman Reigns shows up through the crowd.Angle tells Roman he is trespassing, but he does not care, and says somebody needs to be here to represent the main event at WrestleMania. Angle tells him that Lesnar will be here tonight, but Roman wants to know where Lesnar is. Angle says he will be a little bit late, then Angle reminds Roman that he is suspended and that he will have to talk about it outside of the arena. Reigns asks if he is suspended for "telling the truth," and Angle tells Roman all he has to do is wait three weeks. He tells Roman he will have Lesnar in the palm of his hands at WrestleMania 34. Roman says he understands, but he still doesn't care, as this is Dallas, Texas, he has made a bunch of memories here, and he plans to make one more tonight. He then tells Angle to tell those in charge that he is not leaving until he faces Lesnar tonight. Angle leaves the ring and heads to the back, having had enough of Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns grabs a steel chair and sits down on it in the ring. Suddenly, three U.S. Marshals (portrayed by independent wrestlers Kristopher Haiden, Brad Sanders and Ricky Starks) show up and get in the ring. One of them pulls out a pair of cuffs, while another man pulls out a Miranda rights care to read Roman his rights. Roman allows himself to be cuffed as the fans boo. As they escort him out, one of the Marshals puts his hands on Roman, and Roman takes offense to that. When two of them do it, Roman fights all three of them off despite his hands being cuffed. Afterwards, Brock Lesnar shows up with Paul Heyman, and Lesnar runs into the ring. Roman grabs the steel chair and swings, but Lesnar hits the German suplex and smashes the chair into a defenseless Roman. Paul Heyman holds up the WWE Universal Championship as Lesnar continues to smash the chair into Roman Reigns before hitting another German suplex. Lesnar then grabs the chair again, and as a referee tells Lesnar that Roman is handcuffed, Lesnar hits Roman with the chair one more time before going for another German suplex. He kicks at Roman and continues to smash the chair into him, then tosses it down. Lesnar almost leaves with Paul Heyman, but Lesnar takes his shirt off, gets back in the ring and continues to assault Roman, who can do nothing. Lesnar then smiles as he leaves the ring, then gets back in to hit Roman with the F-5. EMTs show up with a stretcher to get Roman to a local medical facility, but Lesnar shows up to push the gurney holding Roman down and drag it.

Roman Reigns is placed in an ambulance backstage.

We see a video package chronicling the recent events leading up to tonight's match between Asuka and Alexa Bliss.

Before the next match, Alexa Bliss says that she said things about Nia Jax that were very hurtful and wrong, and had no idea that everyone in the world would be listening. She says that she and Mickie James were joking around and that it was "girl talk," and that she got carried away in the moment and said things she should not have. Alexa then sincerely apologizes...that she didn't speak the truth sooner. She then says that apologizing and the word "sorry" do not fit with her, and that she lost no sleep and felt no remorse after Nia Jax was humiliated in front of the world, which she loved every second of. She then says she never liked Nia and that she used her, and asks if Nia thinks she would really want to be friends with someone like her. Alexa then tells Mickie she feels better for getting that off her chest. Alexa says she dropped "300 pounds of sad, pathetic loser" as she says a weight fell off her shoulder, and now that Nia Jax is not dragging her down, she can end Asuka's undefeated streak.

Asuka beats Alexa Bliss by count-out as Mickie James helps Alexa to the back. Suddenly, Nia Jax runs out. She runs Mickie James over before going after Alexa Bliss, who tries to climb over the guardrail. Mickie James gets back up and punches Nia from behind, and Mickie gets sent into the steel steps as Alexa runs away through the crowd.

Backstage, Alexa Bliss meets with General Manager Kurt Angle, telling him to deal with Nia Jax. Angle tells Alexa she should be a role model, not a bully, and give Nia a match against Alexa for the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania.

Braun Strowman shows up. Strowman talks about how he won last week's tag team battle royal by himself and carved a path of destruction that has led him to WrestleMania. He then announces that he has been informed by management that he must have a tag team partner, and says he does not need one and knows he can win the titles by himself. Suddenly, Sheamus and Cesaro show up. Sheamus tells Strowman he is out of his mind if he can beat him and Cesaro single-handedly, and that tossing people over the top ropes is different from beating the tag team champions. Cesaro tells Strowman that it takes years to build chemistry and trust with a tag team partner. When Cesaro says tag team partners have to everything together, including sleeping together, everyone has a laugh, including Strowman. Sheamus says that Strowman does not stand a chance against them regardless of who his tag team partner, but Strowman tells Sheamus to shut up before he finishes speaking. Sheamus takes exception to that, saying he and Cesaro have beaten every tag team on Raw and that Strowman and his partner will be no exception, but Strowman tells Sheamus he has a partner and that he gets to fight Sheamus or Cesaro tonight. Sheamus and Cesaro try to get in the ring at the same time, but Sheamus fakes it and Cesaro ends up in the ring with Strowman.

Braun Strowman beats Cesaro.

Before the next match, Sasha Banks addresses Bayley, saying that when you have a problem, you don't run away from it or talk about people behind their backs; you confront it head on. She says they are best friends, and she wants to fix what is going on. She admits Elimination Chamber was every woman for herself, and that she was not trying to betray their friendship. She then tells Bayley she was not being her friend when she left her high and dry twice, but since she is the bigger person and considers Bayley her sister, she forgives her. Bayley says that night after Elimination Chamber, she was angry and acted impulsively. She refused to cost Sasha the match, but afterwards, she took off because she cannot get over what Sasha did to her that night. She says it is not what Sasha did, but how she did it. She knows that Sasha does what he has to do to win, but the look on her face afterwards ate at her core and she cannot get that picture out of her head. She then asks why knocking her down was so easy if Sasha was her best friend. Suddenly, Absolution (Paige, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville) shows up. Paige says that Absolution will show "the whiny little girls" Sasha and Bayley how real women settle the score. The next match begins.

Absolution (Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville) beat Sasha Banks and Bayley after Bayley and Sasha argue again when Sasha distracts the referee by attacking Mandy as Bayley has Deville in a backslide pin.

We look back on John Cena's 1st WWE Championship win at WrestleMania 21, courtesy of Snickers.

John Cena shows up. Cena talks about how he laid out a WrestleMania challenge to The Undertaker last week, and says that tonight, we will learn The Undertaker's response. He says he finds it amazing that The Undertaker has been hiding in embarrassment for so long, and says that The Undertaker still belongs in the WWE, as his name has meaning for as long as WWE exists. Cena talks about how the mere mentioning of The Undertaker's name brought everyone together, and wants to know how the Dallas, Texas crowd feels about it. The crowd is very enthusiastic. He asks the crowd to be louder, and the crowd becomes louder. He then says that The Undertaker's response to his challenge is nothing but silence, and that this is the biggest mistake The Undertaker has ever made. Cena says he does not mind going to WrestleMania as a fan, but considers it disrespectful to him and the fans that The Undertaker has not responded to his challenge. He says that without the fans, there is no streak, no "Rest in Peace" and no Undertaker, and is amazed that The Undertaker still has not responded. He then says that if The Undertaker is retired, then he should say no so everyone understands, and if he is not, then all he has to do is say yes and give the people what they want to see. He then says The Undertaker sits in his insecurity, and has gone from being the god the people have made him into being a coward. He asks The Undertaker to prove him wrong with a yes, a no or a signature entrance. John Cena yells "Do something!," which the crowd immediately chants. When nothing is done, Cena says The Undertaker let everyone who believed in him down, and says he is not a god and definitely not a man. Suddenly, Kane shows up. Cena believes that Kane has been sent by The Undertaker to give The Undertaker's response. Kane grabs Cena by the throat and choke slams him.

He also complains about being in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship instead of a one-on-one match, and asks if he is the bad guy. The Miz says that Seth Rollins and Finn Balor are not heroes and that he exposed them as the liars they really are, and says it took a nudge for them to go at each other. He says "Tyler Black" and "Prince Nevitt" will be knocked back down to the indies and forces the respect out of the fans as he walks out of WrestleMania as WWE Intercontinental Champion. Gallows & Anderson and Finn Balor then show up for the next match, then guests on commentary for the match.
