Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 16, 2021
Randy Orton heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Orton says people have asked him all week why he hit Matt Riddle with an RKO, and Orton says he does not need anybody, saying he could have beaten "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles with or without help from Riddle, saying he became a 14-time world champ on his own. He says that he does not need an explanation for what he does, and that Raw is still his territory, having proven it to Styles last week and willing to prove it this week to Omos, whom he calls "a force of nature" and "a bit of a jackass." Orton says that nevertheless, he will hit Omos with "that son of a bitch" with the RKO before Riddle shows up. Riddle agrees with Orton, saying he does not need to explain himself to anybody and that he knows why Orton hit him with the RKO. Orton says he doubts that, but Riddle says he was teaching him, saying he was not hitting the RKO correctly. Riddle says he has learned his lesson and that he is willing to give being a tag team another chance, saying that he will need him in his corner in his match against Omos tonight. After Riddle asks Orton to bring back "RK-Bro," Styles and Omos show up, and Styles says "How about RK-No?" before saying last week meant nothing thanks to Riddle's help, saying Orton would not have won anything without him. Styles then tells Orton that nothing will save him from Omos, whom he says will "defang the Viper" before threatening to break Riddle's jaw tonight. Riddle, saying that he is unstoppable with Orton on his side, accepts Styles' challenge.
Before the next match, Randy Orton heads to the back instead of standing in Matt Riddle's corner.

She says that one already has the confidence and that it just needs to be brought out so that one can be almost a superhero, saying it has worked for her and can work for others. Nikki then says that she can beat Rhea Ripley tonight and defend the Raw Women's title at SummerSlam.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews MVP, who says that two of the most explosive forces in WWE will come face-to-face before SummerSlam, and says that last time Goldberg was here, he hit Lashley with a Spear.

Drew McIntyre beats Veer and Shanky in a two-on-one handicap match. After the match, McIntyre stops Veer from taking his sword Angela, then says Shanky is sorry and that he wishes he could be as attractive as him, and that he has seen the error of his ways and hopes Jinder loses at SummerSlam. McIntyre asks Jinder Mahal what he thought would happen when he cost him his last shot at the WWE Championship, and says that he has known Jinder for ten years, knows where to hurt him, and will make a memory out of his expense that will last forever. McIntyre then has the crowd make it known to Jinder that McIntyre will win at SummerSlam.

John Morrison heads to the ring for the premiere edition of Moist TV. Tonight's special guest is The Miz. On the subject of getting up and running away from Damian Priest last week, Miz says he has never lied to or used him, then says that he is not a liar before Damian Priest arrives. Priest says he likes "moist-see" better than "must-see," and says that before he beats Sheamus in front of the world for the United States Championship, he wants to hear why Miz pretended to be injured while Morrison was his personal servant. Miz says his personal health is not Damian's concern and that his knee was injured because of him, stating that he had never been injured in his 16-year career. He says that he had no idea what to expect due to having a family and admits he has been cleared for the last few weeks, much to Morrison's surprise, but Miz says he is not 100%, saying he had "a surge of energy" last week. Miz then says that Damian Priest is spinning things around to make things about him and Morrison, who proposes a match between Damian Priest and The Miz, much to Miz's displeasure. Damian soon pushes Miz into a nearby kiddie pool.
As The Miz argues with the referee, Sheamus guests on commentary for the next match. The Miz tries to get Sheamus to replace him in the match, but Sheamus is not interested.

Backstage, Eva Marie tells Doudrop that she blew it last week, and that luckily for her, the Eva-Lution is all about second chances, and Doudrop will get to handle "their other little problem" at Alexa's Playground: Lilly. Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss tells Lilly to be on her best behavior when Doudrop comes out to play.
Backstage, The Miz catches up with John Morrison and confronts him as The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) watches from a distance.

We hear from Alexa Bliss, who laughs at the idea of anybody wanting to be like Eva Marie along with Lilly before Doudrop shows up and takes Lilly. Alexa warns Lilly she would not recommend doing that, then Doudrop looks at Lilly and hands her back to Alexa.
Mansoor beats Mace after Mustafa Ali hits Mace with a Tiger Feint Kick during a sit-down pinfall attempt.
Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Omos. As "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles tries to speak for Omos, Omos says Randy Orton sees himself as the legend killer, but tonight, he will kill the legend that is Randy Orton. Styles says Omos will be the new legend killer. After adding that beating Matt Riddle earlier tonight makes him "the moron killer," Styles declares that tonight, they will celebrate the death of "RK-Bro."
We get a closer look at Goldberg, courtesy of Sonic Drive-In.
Randy Orton beats Omos by disqualification. During the match, Omos distracts the referee, and "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles kicks Orton in the ribs on the outside only for the referee to catch him and disqualify Omos. After the match, Omos throws Orton over the barricade with one arm before returning Orton to the ring. As Styles readies the Phenomenal Forearm, Matt Riddle shows up and fends off both Styles and Omos to make the save for Orton. Omos carries a leveled Styles to the back, then Riddle offers Orton his hand and helps him up. Afterwards, Orton tells Riddle that respect is earned, and while he respected him in the past, he does not respect him today. He then says that after Riddle stuck by him after everything he put him through tonight, Riddle has earned his respect, then says "RK-Bro" is back. Both men then shake hands and hug in the ring. Riddle tells Orton that he makes him so happy, then says that at SummerSlam, the two of them will challenge Styles and Omos for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships.
Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews Jeff Hardy, who wants a rematch against Karrion Kross after he left him gasping for air, and says that Kross made a big mistake disrespecting him like he did. As he says that he lives off danger everyday, he tells Kross to check his hourglass because his fifteen minutes of fame are just about up. Hardy is then attacked by Kross, who then makes his way to the ring.
Karrion Kross quickly beats Jeff Hardy after reversing the Twist of Fate into the Kross Jacket.
Backstage, Eva Marie chews out Alexa Bliss for not returning with Lilly, calling this a slap to the face before slapping Doudrop in the face not once, but twice after asking her how that feels.
In footage from earlier today, Reggie goes to a local park, which reminds him of his childhood using his acrobatic abilities to win at tag and the time he did his very first backflip. He talks about how he went to the park to practice more flips and be his true self even when he did not have the safest childhood as R-Truth and Akira Tozawa try - and fail - to take the 24/7 title from him. Reggie then flips over his car to the driver's seat and flees while R-Truth and Akira Tozawa argue with each other.
We see the burnt remains of a guitar as Elias talks about his musical career while carrying a gravestone.

He says that Orton will despise Riddle within the next five days, guaranteed.
Goldberg heads to the ring. Goldberg addresses MVP and Bobby Lashley talking about fatherhood last week and bringing his son Gage - who is in the crowd with some friends - into their business again, then introduces the WWE Universe to Gage. Goldberg calls Gage the reason he came out of retirement, and while he could watch videos of who he was, that won't cut it, and he wants him to see who Goldberg is. Suddenly, MVP and Lashley show up. MVP says everyone has been hearing from Goldberg a lot more lately and that Goldberg usually lets his actions do the talking, then says Goldberg is overcompensating for something and realizes that he is outmatched by Lashley. MVP also says that when Goldberg locked eyes with Lashley, Goldberg realized things would be different this time and that Lashley is a man more dangerous, ferocious, explosive and dominant than he is. Lashley tells Goldberg he gave him every opportunity to bow down and walk away from the embarrassment he will give him, then says Goldberg is playing by house rules and that the house wins. Lashley then says he plans to leave enough of Goldberg so that Goldberg can talk about how he had his career ended by him, because when he steps into the ring, he steps into "the house of The All Mighty." Goldberg says to Lashley "Lashley...that's bullshit!" Lashley drops his microphone and swings at Goldberg, but Goldberg hits him with the Spear before he and Gage celebrate on the stage.

Goldberg addresses MVP and Bobby Lashley talking about fatherhood last week and bringing his son Gage - who is in the crowd with some friends - into their business again, then introduces the WWE Universe to Gage. Goldberg calls Gage the reason he came out of retirement, and while he could watch videos of who he was, that won't cut it, and he wants him to see who Goldberg is. Suddenly, MVP and Lashley show up. MVP says everyone has been hearing from Goldberg a lot more lately and that Goldberg usually lets his actions do the talking, then says Goldberg is overcompensating for something and realizes that he is outmatched by Lashley. MVP also says that when Goldberg locked eyes with Lashley, Goldberg realized things would be different this time and that Lashley is a man more dangerous, ferocious, explosive and dominant than he is. Lashley tells Goldberg he gave him every opportunity to bow down and walk away from the embarrassment he will give him, then says Goldberg is playing by house rules and that the house wins. Lashley then says he plans to leave enough of Goldberg so that Goldberg can talk about how he had his career ended by him, because when he steps into the ring, he steps into "the house of The All Mighty." Goldberg says to Lashley "Lashley...that's bullshit!" Lashley drops his microphone and swings at Goldberg, but Goldberg hits him with the Spear before he and Gage celebrate on the stage.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 2, 2021
MVP and Bobby Lashley head to the ring to start tonight's show. MVP addresses Goldberg's sudden return to challenge Lashley for the WWE Championship, which Lashley has refused to dignify with a response. He says that while Goldberg is an icon who is still capable of annihilating anyone, he challenged "The All Mighty." He says that while Goldberg is a gladiator, Lashley is a larger than life kaiju. The fans then chant "Goldberg," and MVP says that if Lashley accepts Goldberg's challenge, it could be the last match of Goldberg's career. MVP then asks Goldberg if he wants to be remembered as a champion or a casualty, then Goldberg shows up. Goldberg says that if anyone should be worried about losing something, it should be Lashley who should be worried about losing the WWE Championship, and says MVP is "nothing but scared" while Lashley looks scared. He says that he knows that Lashley sees him as a high-level athlete and a gladiator, but questions himself and shows weakness, and asks if he is up for the challenge, for the first time he saw him, he saw him as the next victim. Goldberg tells him that Chicago, Illinois is not Lashley coliseum and that the fans in the town can smell fear a mile away, and that Lashley is either scared or out of his mind. He then says that no matter his age, "Goldberg will always be Goldberg," as he lives by the Spear and Lashley will die by the Spear, and at SummerSlam, Lashley is next. After Goldberg leaves, MVP points out Goldberg's son Gage in the front row, and Lashley confronts him. MVP tells Goldberg's son that Lashley will end his father's career, and this leads to Goldberg hitting MVP with a Spear before heading to the back with his son.

Priest dares him to. Miz does not. As Priest says that he has seen tough guys like Miz before, Morrison stands up and threatens to moisten him with a Drip Stick before saying that Miz's wheelchair will be in a museum while kids will want to grow up to be like Miz and Morrison.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 26, 2021
Nikki A.S.H. heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Nikki welcomes everyone to Monday Night Raw, then says being Raw Women's Champion feels like a dream before stating that the dream is now real. She says that when she reached for the stars in the past, she didn't have the confidence that she needed, and was so afraid to fail. One day, she realized that if she fails, she fails, and she is still her. She says that when she puts on the superhero outfit, it gives her the confidence and it reminds her that no matter what, if you believe in yourself, you can overcome all of the odds. She says it worked for her and can work for anyone else, and says that everyone can almost be superheroes. Suddenly, Charlotte Flair shows up. Charlotte Flair says that is a nice fairytale that Nikki is telling, but says that Nikki's fairytale has no happy ending and that she is a disgrace, stating that she should not represent the company. She says that Al Roker did not believe that Nikki was a champion, then says one has to work for it to become a champion and that she brings star power and perspective to the ring. After Charlotte calls Nikki an "almost idiot," she says that Rhea Ripley acted like a bratty teenage who got her phone taken away from her after she beat her, then says this is the only reason Nikki became champion, as she was not even on her feet when she was pinned. Charlotte says that Nikki stole her title, then says she will continue to stand in the ring and be the opportunity while Nikki continues to play dress-up, then she will get her championship rematch and Nikki will bow down to her. She then says that "this injustice" is the fans' fault, as they have cheered after she has become the victim of injustice just to bring her down to their level before Rhea Ripley shows up. Rhea Ripley says it's not hard to be jealous of someone who has held the title for one whole day, and while Charlotte Flair has been an 11-time champion, she can only win by pinfall or submission, and lost by disqualification because she couldn't handle losing to her. After Rhea says she should be the one getting the title rematch, Nikki asks who said anything about beating her at SummerSlam, and says that Raw is ready for change in the form of a new champion and that she will lead that change. Charlotte says she will walk out of SummerSlam as champion, then Rhea says the title will be hers. Suddenly, WWE officials Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce show up. Sonya says the only fair thing to do is to make a Triple Threat Match for the Raw Women's Championship at SummerSlam, which Charlotte calls "ridiculous," saying neither Rhea or Nikki deserve the title and that she should have a match tonight. Charlotte says she wants the match tonight to prove that Nikki is not in her league, and Nikki simply responds with "You're on!" Adam Pearce makes the match official, then Charlotte sends Ripley out of the ring before Nikki drop kicks her out of it.
We hear from Damian Priest, who says that Sheamus is a coward and a bully who deserves to get his ass kicked instead of holding the WWE United States Championship, and says that when Sheamus looks at him in the ring, he will see who should be United States Champion.
