WWE Raw Recap: Big Show Knocks Out Rhodes, Orton Destroys The Miz, Tag Title Contenders Named

September 17, 2013

WWE Raw For those of you who missed Raw tonight, here is a quick recap of some of the main stories coming out of tonight's show:

-As we reported earlier tonight, Daniel Bryan was stripped of the WWE Title at the beginning of the show by Triple H.

-Stephanie McMahon's business proposal to Dusty Rhodes was that he choose which of his sons gets his job back; Cody or Goldust. When he refused to decide, she then allowed him to choose who would take him out; The Shield or Big Show. Stephanie then forced Big Show to knock Rhodes out and he did. Dusty then had to be stretchered out.

-Randy Orton attacked The Miz prior to their match starting, and beat him down in front of his hometown crowd in Cleveland and in front of Miz's parents seated at ringside. Orton finished the beatdown by placing a steel chair between Miz's head and dropping a knee on the chair. The announce team later updated Miz's condition by saying he suffered a "damaged thorax."

-The Usos defeated Tons of Funk and The Real Americans in an Elimination tag team match to earn a future tag title shot against The Shield.
