WWE Battleground 2015 Results

- The pre-show was pretty standard fare but we did get to see the contract signing between Dolph Ziggler and Rusev. It was announced that once the contract was signed both men were forbidden from hitting one another. Dolph signed first and of course Rusev attacked him and then signed.

 

- The main PPV began The New Day coming out to a huge chorus of boos. Xavier Woods made a Simpsons reference saying the crowd wasn't booing but was instead chanting "NEEEW...as in New Day" I think they were actually saying "Boo-urns". The Prime Time Players came out and we had our opening match. Pretty exciting with a nice fast pace and some back-and-forth action. The PTPers won at 9:28 when Titus caught Kofi coming off the top rope for a crossbody and hit a move that looked like a Rock Bottom into a backbreaker.

 

- Backstage Seth Rollins was interviewed by Tom Phillips about not having J&J Security with him tonight and Seth said they were practically useless anyway. Seth said he expects to go out there tonight and beat Brock all by himself.

 

- Sheamus and Randy Orton were up next to bore people. I was actually surprised at their match. It wasn't what I expected. Instead of the plodding brawl I expected they gave us a good old fashion fight. Both men could be seen stiffing one another and Sheamus' cheek got pretty puffed up after Orton legit punched him at one point. The stiffness made this a really entertaining bout that saw Orton and Sheamus both get counted out at 11:31 when Orton RKO'd Sheamus on the outside after being the victim of multiple Brogue Kicks. Both men had to be helped to their feet and the announcers put over how much the match took out of both men as they staggered to the back.

 

- A video package explained why we're about to have a Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental Championship. Following the video we got the intros for all three men. The Big Show dominated the early going. He basically made sure neither Ryback nor The Miz could get near him. Show nearly won about 2 minutes in when he caught Miz with a knockout punch but Ryback broke up the pin. This allowed the two big men to battle. The Ryback/Big Show portion of the match was actually pretty well put together. Ryback attempted a body slam but his back gave out and the rest of the sequence saw Ryback trying to get Show off of his feet without lifting him. At one point Ryback decided to go to the second rope and hit a flying shoulder tackle that sent Show flying into the ropes where he got his arms tangled up. This lead to Miz entering the fray again and nailing a Skull Crushing Finale on Ryback. Miz taunted Show before pinning Ryback, even slapping Show in the face. This just angered the giant who found a way to get out of the ropes just in time to step on Miz's head and break up the pin. From there it was standard triple threat stuff until the end when Miz and Ryback went to charge Big Show. Miz stopped and Ryback kept running. Ryback clotheslined Big Show over the top and turned around just in time for Miz to hit a kick to the midsection and another Skull Crushing Finale to get the win at 8:43. | New WWE Intercontinental Champion: The Miz

 

- Paige is backstage looking frustrated and Tom Phillips stops her to ask what's going on. Paige says that she is sick and tired of the Bellas having some sort of spell over the divas division. Paige says that none of the divas she thought had her back will agree to be her partner tonight. Tom asks if she's ready to go 3-against-1 and Paige says she doesn't have a choice if no one will agree to team with her.

 

- A video package hyping Bray Wyatt Vs. Roman Reigns is next. As is the norm for WWE hype videos this one is excellent. It talks of each man's rise through the ranks in WWE, their stable war and then finally where they are now. Voiceover from Bray Wyatt warns Reigns that tonight Bray will become the face Reigns' daughter sees in her nightmares.

 

- Roman Reigns Vs. Bray Wyatt begins with Reigns making his entrance. Just as he's coming down to the ring the lights go out. When they come back on the entire audience in the area near where Reigns is standing are suddenly wearing sheep masks. Reigns seems slightly freaked out but keeps his composure and gets to the ring. Wyatt makes his entrance and the brawl begins. Both men beat each other from pillar to post for about 15 minutes. If you like heavy hitting brawls this one is for you. Reigns nails the Superman punch and then goes for the spear but Wyatt moves. Reigns spears the corner ring post and appears to be injured. Wyatt refuses to back off and goes for Sister Abigail but Reigns counters by shoving Bray away and hitting a spear. Reigns covers but the lights go out. When they're back on Luke Harper is standing in the ring above Reigns. Reigns gets up and fires a punch that Harper no sells. Harper attacks Reigns and the referee calls for the bell and disqualifies Bray Wyatt at 11:05.

 

- After the match Wyatt and Harper continue to beat on Reigns until Dean Ambrose ran out with a wrench and chased the heels off. Ambrose checked on Reigns and Wyatt laughed maniacally as we got a sweet disolve fade into a shot of Kevin Owens standing backstage with Tom Phillips. Before Tom could speak Owens looked at the camera, smirked, and walked off.

 

- An amazing Kevin Owens/John Cena vignette was aired next. Once again delving into the history of both men separately and then their interactions. Owens is made to look sympathetic at first as they use his words about being a family man but then the music subtly changes and we see the megalomaniacal Owens juxtaposed with the honorable, taking-on-all-comers John Cena. The video ended with Owens promising to beat Cena so badly that it would expose him as a fraud.

 

- Cena and Owens are introduced next. We get the boxing fight intro for this one which I like. During the introductions Owens sarcastically claps for everything which is hilarious. The match begins and much like their first two encounters it takes places almost entirely in the ring. Cena comes out and shocks Owens early with a flurry of offense. It takes Owens a little bit of time to recover and regain his composure but when he does he starts to take over the match by getting a subtle eye poke on Cena when the official isn't looking. Owens bullies Cena around the ring for a couple minutes and then they really kick the match into high gear. Many near falls pepper the next 8 or 9 minutes of the match. Owens nearly wins with a package piledriver. Cena goes for the springboard stunner but Owens sidesteps and then nearly takes Cena's head off with a lariat as Cena lands. Owens hits four consecutive corner powerbombs on Cena and drags him to the middle of the ring. He looks at the camera and points at Cena and apologizes to his son for destroying his hero. But instead of covering Cena Owens hits a running senton and then starts to do all the machinations for the Five Knuckle Shuffle. When Owens leans in and says "You can't see me you son a bitch!" Cena reaches up and punches him. Owens is stunned but Cena is still down so Owens puts the boots to him. Infuriated Owens picks Cena up for another corner powerbomb but Cena wriggles away. Owens turns around and Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment for a really close near fall. Cena picks Owens up and tries for another but Owens counters and shoves Cena into the ropes. Cena starts to charge, remembers the pop-up powerbomb and stops. But Owens wastes little time and slaps Cena in the face. Cena tackles Owens and they roll under the ropes to the floor. While out there they exchange punches and then Owens kicks Cena in the midsection and then tosses him into the steel steps. Owens rolls Cena back into the ring. Cena is back up first and when Owens gets in the ring Cena hits a running shoulder block. He picks Owens up and shoves him into the corner. Cena kicks Owens a couple times and then goes for an Irish whip. Owens reverses it and Cena goes into the corner. Owens charges right behind but Cena runs up onto the second turnbuckle and tries for the springboard stunner. This time he hits it! But Owens doesn't go down. Instead Owens is staggered and bent over trying to shake the cobwebs off. Sensing his opponent is on the ropes, Cena climbs to the top rope and leaps off for a rocker dropper from the top but Owens sees it coming and catches Cena with a powerbomb. Owens covers Cena, 1----2----3!!! | Owens is the NEW United States Champion at 25:39

 

- Owens is handed the title and he rolls out of the ring and hugs it extremely tight as he backs up the ramp. The crowd gives both men a standing ovation. Cena gets to his feet and acknowledges the fans but seems very dejected as he slowly heads to the back, hanging his head in defeat the entire way.

 

- Another video package airs. This time showing the conflict between Paige and the Bellas. After the video package the Bellas and Alicia Fox are introduced. Brie and Nikki get some mic time to make fun of Paige for having no friends. Paige came out next and had a mic of her own. She accuses the Bellas of "poisoning the well" by threatening the other divas or something because no one will be her partner. Nikki says it's because no one likes Paige because she thinks she's better than them. Paige says she IS better than them and she could prove it if she got Nikki one-on-one without Brie or Alicia being there. Nikki scoffs. Paige comes down to the ring to go it alone.

 

- The match is basically just one long segment continuing the story because no one can follow that Owens/Cena match. Paige gets beat down for a while until Tamina comes down the aisle. She is stopped halfway down by Naomi who convinces her not to bother and they leave. Paige puts up a fight and is able to hit the Paige Turner on Nikki but can't pin her as Brie interferes. The crowd is dead and restless for this one and it mercifully ends at 6:18 when Brie smacks Paige in the face with the Divas Title to allow Nikki to hit the Rack Attack and get the pinfall.

 

- Backstage Triple H and Seth Rollins have a last minute discussion. Triple H talks Rollins up and tells him that he believes in him and that he knows he can do this.

 

- One last video package. The Beast that is Brock Lesnar is spotlighted.

 

- Main event time. Both men come to the ring and then we get the big fight introductions. When the match gets underway Rollins tries to enact a strategy that sees him strike and then run away. He tries to keep Brock moving around the ring and the announcers talk about how smart that strategy is. Brock tells Rollins to bring it and Rollins goes for a dropkick but Lesnar shoves him aside. Brock grabs hold of Rollins and clubs him with some forearms to the back. Lesnar tries to an overhead German release suplex but Rollins lands on his feet. Lesnar turns around and Rollins hits a flying dropkick that knocks Lesnar into the ropes. Rollins charges but gets back body dropped to the outside. Both men brawl on the outside and then inside the ring for the next few minutes. Rollins hits a flying knee to the side of Brock's head and then clotheslines him to the outside. Rollins follows that up with a suicide dive that knocks Brock into the ring announce table. Rollins crawls under the ring and emerges with a steel chair. He goes to swing it but Paul Heyman grabs it. Rollins turns around and shoves Heyman. Heyman lets go of the chair and Rollins cracks Lesnar in the ribs with it. The referee calls for the bell to disqualify Rollins as the crowd boos. But Triple H comes down to the ring and restarts the match as a No Disqualification match. Seth is pissed and he goes up to Triple H and begs him to reconsider. Triple H pats him on the shoulder and tells him that he has everything under control. Rollins reluctantly gets back to fighting. He keeps hitting Brock in the previously broken ribs with the chair. Lesnar is hurt, the most hurt we've seen him since he ended the Streak. Rollins is downright ecstatic. Another chairshot directly to Lesnar's back drops Brock to his knees. Paul Heyman once again tries to wrestle the chair from Rollins' clutches but Seth clocks Heyman with a punch and Heyman goes down. Lesnar crawls into the ring. Seth joins him and keeps smashing his ribs with the chair. When Lesnar is sufficiently hurt Rollins climbs to the top rope. Rollins leaps off and hits a sick looking 450 splash onto Lesnar's injured ribs. Seth is shocked when he only gets a two count. He tries it again. Same result. Rollins threatens the official. Seth looks over at Triple H who gives him a thumbs up. Rollins gets an idea and grabs Lesnar in position for a pedigree. He hits it. Rollins covers Lesnar, 1---2---LESNAR KICKS OUT! Rollins can't believe it. At this point Triple H takes off his jacket the throws it on the ground. He gets in the ring and tells Seth to "Let me do it." Seth obliges and does the "after you" motion with his hands but without warning Triple H kicks Seth in the midsection and pedigrees him. Brock looks up and sees what just happened. Triple H barks at Lesnar to pin Rollins. Lesnar gets to his feet and shakes his head no. Triple H slaps Lesnar and commands him to pin Rollins. Lesnar again says no and this time he grabs Triple H and F-5s him. Triple H rolls to the outside. Suddenly Kane comes running down to the ring. He slides in and gets in Lesnar's face. Kane tries for a punch but Lesnar blocks it and F-5s him. During this Rollins comes to and drags himself to the corner. He picks himself up and climbs to the top rope. Lesnar turns and sees him and Rollins leaps off the top rope for another knee to the face but Lesnar catches him and in one swift motion F-5s him. Lesnar covers Rollins, 1---2---3! | Brock Lesnar is the NEW WWE World Heavyweight Champion at 26:38

 

- Lesnar gets the belt and holds it above his head as the crowd cheers. He and Heyman head to the back.

 

- Triple H finally comes to and climbs back in the ring. He picks Seth up and slaps him in the face. He calls Seth a loser and kicks him. But before Triple H can pedigree Seth again, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose come running down to the ring to a huge pop. Triple H and Kane bail and head to the back and the show goes off the air with The Shield reunited in the ring!

 

----------------

 

OVERALL REACTION: Wow, what a show! I don't think anyone was expecting this. Great action from beginning to end. The only match that outright sucked was still able to continue a pretty good storyline. Then the shocking ending with the Seth Rollins face turn, Triple H apparently wanting Lesnar to be champion, and the Shield reuniting. I'd rate this show an 8.5/10. Can't wait for Raw!!!

 

 

 

From WrestlingPlayground.com...

 

- Coming out of a fantastic Battleground PPV that no one saw coming, there has been a huge buzz coming from the site of Raw tonight. Apparently the entire script for Raw was thrown out by Vince and Triple H late last night. The two men have been working feverishly with the WWE writing staff to come up with a suitable follow-up for what one source described as a PPV that was "largely booked on the fly after Vince decided he hated most of the finishes about 45 minutes prior to air."

 

- Rumor has it that WWE is very serious about calling up multiple NXT stars between now and the Raw immediately following SummerSlam. The consensus is that about 6 or 7 members of the NXT roster are ready to make the jump and a large class of graduates from the Performance Center are ready to replenish the NXT roster when they leave.

 

- In an all-talent meeting before the show last night Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were apparently telling the roster that two goals they have for the immediate future are to make SmackDown! into must-see television again and to make sure even the lowest superstar on the totem pole has something to do on the show. With Raw ballooning to 3 hours it should be a lot easier to accomplish this goal. Triple H has also been telling the roster that they are now, more than ever, open to any and all ideas that the superstars themselves may have for their characters and Triple H has apparently set up a system for pitching ideas to Triple H, Stephanie, and even Vince himself.

 

It sates itself on the life-blood of fated men,

Paints red the powers' homes with crimson gore.

Black become the sun's beams

In the summers that follow, weathers all treacherous.

Do you still seek to know? And what?

-- "Völuspá" from The Poetic Edda

 

Ready to rock if you want to roll

Please step away from the vehicle

Ragnarock and revolutionize

Gimme just a minute while I clarify

WWE Monday Night Raw
LIVE! from Kansas City, MO
Monday -- Week 1 -- August 2015

A NEW AUTHORITY

A video airs showing a recap of the Battleground main event. It ends with the Shield standing tall in the ring. After the video the usual Raw intro video airs and then we get a live shot from the arena. Triple H's music hits and the Game makes his way down to the ring to open the show. He is followed by Director of Operations Kane. They climb into the ring and Triple H adjusts his suit and begins to speak. He says that he is not oblivious. He understands that the whole world is watching right now and can see that The Authority is down to two people. Himself and Kane. Kane has been loyal and has worked hard to be the best Director of Operations he can be. But he's also been an abject failure and he's fired! The stunned Kane stands there shocked before eventually exiting the ring and heading to the back as the crowd looks on. After Kane is gone Triple H talks about it being the dawning of a new era. He says that the Authority will come back stronger than ever. Triple H says he will create a new Authority and it starts tonight. And it starts with the WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Brock Lesnar's music hits and Brock and Paul Heyman come down to the ring. Triple H addresses the fact that Brock hit him with an F-5 last night. Triple H says he's willing to overlook all of that ugliness and make Brock an offer he can't refuse. Triple H offers Brock the chance to be the centerpiece of The Authority. He says he's offering Brock the chance to cement his legacy in WWE. Triple H asks Brock for an answer and Paul Heyman begins to speak. He says that Brock Lesnar didn't get where he is in life by taking shortcuts. Brock is a beast. No, he's THE BEAST. Heyman asks Triple H if he really expects Brock to stand there and shake his hand and smile and be his little corporate champion. Triple H says the last part is negotiable but the rest of it, yes. Triple H says he does expect that. Heyman then says "With all do respect, boss. You are dumber than you look." And Heyman begins to leave. Brock stands still. Heyman turns to tell Brock to leave but Brock shakes his head no. The crowd boos as Brock turns to Triple H and extends his hand. Brock smiles. Triple H smiles. They shake hands. The crowd is stunned until Brock pulls Triple H and overhead belly-to-belly suplexes him. Paul Heyman begins to cackle like a mad man and the crowd pops as Brock and Heyman head to the back. | 84

THE GAME IS ANGRY

A quick replay of the previous segment airs and then we see Triple H in the back angrily pacing his office. He looks up and sees the camera and asks if they're filming and then screams at them to get out of the room. | 79

RANDY ORTON VS. BIG E

A typical television match that sees The New Day make their presence felt but Orton successfully fights off Kofi and Xavier Woods early on and they get tossed. It's a competitive back-and-forth match from there until Sheamus comes out and distracts Orton to allow Big E to pick up the victory.

WINNER: Big E by pinfall after the Big Ending at 11:49. | 68

JBL EATS AN RKO

An angry Orton RKOs the referee after the match. He goes to the announce table and screams that he wants another match with Sheamus and when JBL tells him to calm down, he grabs JBL and RKOs him as well. | 48

[COMMERCIALS]

EARLIER TODAY

We see The Miz arriving at the arena in a suit with the Intercontinental Championship draped over his shoulder, dragging his suitcase on its wheels behind him. As he's walking into the arena someone bumps into him and he yells at them for touching his suit. As soon as the man apologizes and moves out Miz's way he is confronted by Ryback. Ryback gets in Miz's face and tells him that he plans on using his rematch clause tonight and that he knows he can beat Miz one-on-one. Miz mocks Ryback and tells him his breath stinks. Ryback won't let Miz go, standing in his way when he tries to walk past. They have a tense staredown until Ryback head fakes Miz into thinking he's about to get hit. Miz flinches and the IC title falls to the ground. Miz picks it up and walks quickly past Ryback as Ryback laughs. | 52

MAIN EVENT ANNOUNCED

Tonight's main event is announced as WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar taking on Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper in a handicap match. | 61

KING BARRETT VS. R-TRUTH

The match begins with R-Truth in control as Barrett tried to end it right away with the Bullhammer but missed. Truth hits a stinger splash in the corner and then tries for a scissors kick but Barrett gets out of the way and hits a lariat. Barrett takes over and tries to win but gets a few near falls. A frustrated Barrett picks Truth up and snake eyes him on the top turnbuckle. Barrett backs up to the middle of the ring and again tries for the Bullhammer and again Truth ducks. Truth charges Barrett when he turns around but gets back body dropped to the outside. While out there Barrett reaches under the ring and grabs something. Truth goes to pick him up and Barrett drives the object into Truth's ribs. Truth is hurt. Barrett throws it on the ground and we see that it's his scepter. Barrett rolls Truth back into the ring and hits the Bullhammer for the win.

WINNER: King Barrett by pinfall at 5:38 | 62

 

 

PAIGE CAN'T BEAT 'EM

Backstage Paige is standing by with Renee Young. Paige is dejected. She says that she can't believe the stranglehold the Bellas have on the Divas division. Paige says that she's never failed at anything before so to be beaten down so often has her in a position she's not used to. Renee asks her what's next for her career and Paige says she's not sure. She's gonna keep competing and keep fighting but at some point the old saying rings true...if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. | 56

[COMMERCIALS]

OWENS CHALLENGE

New United States Champion Kevin Owens makes his way out to the ring. He gets to the ring and announces that tonight is the beginning of the Kevin Owens Invitational. Every week on Raw Owens will defend his United States Championship against someone who he feels is deserving of a title shot but is constantly overlooked by those with power here in WWE. Owens says he strives to be the anti-Cena and that he isn't going to hold anyone down. He is going to give real opportunities. He then asks for his first opponent to come down to the ring for their match. | 69


WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: KEVIN OWENS © VS. CURTIS AXEL

"Real American" hits and Curtis "Axelmania" Axel comes out and poses on the stage before coming down to the ring. Axel gets in the ring and before he can rip his shirt he is jumped by Owens. The bell rings and Kevin Owens waylays Axel with punches and kicks. Owens hits a pop-up powerbomb on Axel but doesn't pin him. Instead he picks Axel up and hits a PerfectPlex on Axel for the pinfall.

WINNER: Owens by pinfall at 4:28 | 53

ASSAULT WITH A SAVE

After the match he continues to assault Axel until John Cena comes charging out of the back and slides in the ring. Owens bails and runs up the ramp. | 54

[COMMERCIALS]


WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: THE MIZ © VS. RYBACK

Back-and-forth match with both men getting in their signature spots. Mid-way through the match Miz tries to hit Ryback with the title but Ryback kicks him in the midsection. The match continues and Miz nearly wins with a small package. When both men get up Ryback kicks Miz and sets him up for the Shellshock but Miz manages to escape somehow. Miz exits the ring and grabs the Intercontinental Championship that is laying near the ring. Miz then begins to head up the ramp. Ryback gives chase and we have a double countout.

RESULT: Double Countout at 11:52 | 70

 

THE TOMB

A vignette sees The Ascension shrouded by shadow. They talk about living in the shadows because that's where the Old Ones dwell. Konnor says that WWE puts so much emphasis on championships and winning and losing and that they're missing the big picture. Viktor says that when their master comes for all our souls being WWE Champion won't save you. The only thing you can do to save yourself is to give yourself entirely to the darkness. Konnor laughs and says that every time they inflict pain it is in honor the Supreme Darkness. Viktor speaks in tongues or some strange unknown language and their eyes roll into the back of their heads like the Undertaker used to do before the video fades to black. | 52

[COMMERCIALS]

 

DOLPH ZIGGLER W/LANA VS. STARDUST

Ziggler and Stardust put on a pretty good show. Ziggler sells all of Stardust's offense spectacularly and Stardust busts out some unique offense like a springboard neckbreaker. Stardust tries to pin Ziggler numerous times but Ziggler keeps kicking out. Stardust even tries to take a page from his brother's playbook and tries for the Shattered Dreams kick but Dolph avoids it. Stardust's vicious offense continues when he whips Ziggler hard into the corner and then as soon as he hits, charges to the corner. Stardust runs up to the first turnbuckle and drives his knee into Ziggler's throat, choking him. But Ziggler turns it into an inverted atomic drop. Ziggler gets the momentum in his favor and starts to take over. He hits the ZigZag for the win.

WINNER: Dolph Ziggler by pinfall at 6:12 | 76


BULGARIAN BRUTALITY?

After the match Rusev comes out and acts like he's going to attack Ziggler but instead Stardust jumps Dolph from behind. Rusev gets in Lana's face and laughs at her as he heads to the back. | 78

UP NEXT

Nikki Bella is headed to the ring. The announcers mention that she defends her Divas Championship against Tamina, and both Brie Bella and Alicia Fox are banned from ringside! That's NEXT! | 66

[COMMERCIALS]

 

WWE DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: NIKKI BELLA © VS. TAMINA

The match starts with Nikki seeming a lot less confident without her sister and Alicia Fox out there with her. Tamina controls the early portion of the match but a missed clothesline and dropkick allow Nikki to take some control and she seems to get a bit of confidence. Nikki uses kicks and holds to keep Tamina grounded. Nikki gets a side headlock but Tamina shoves her into the ropes. Naomi grabs Nikki's foot and trips her. Tamina levels Nikki with a sick lariat. Just as Tamina is about to cover Nikki, the Bellas music hits and Tamina stops and looks up at the stage. Suddenly, Paige steps out onto the stage dressed as one of the Bella Twins. While Tamina is distracted, Nikki school boy pins her an grabs her tights for added leverage and she gets the pinfall.

WINNER and STILL Divas Champion: Nikki Bella by pinfall at 5:29 | 54

 

THE NEWEST BELLA?

After the match Paige and Nikki have a staredown in the ring and Paige smiles at Nikki and offers her hand to shake. Nikki is shocked and not sure what to do so she just leaves. | 43

[COMMERCIALS]

BRAY GOES HUNTING FOR BEAST

Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper cut a promo on being tasked with taking down the Beast. Bray says that Triple H is so desperate that he's willing to put Bray in a position of power and grant him a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match if he and Harper win tonight. Wyatt says that Lesnar fears no man. But he will fear Bray Wyatt. | 76

CESARO VS. SHEAMUS

Cesaro and Sheamus are out next. What transpires is easily the match of the night. Cesaro and Sheamus throw everything they have at one another. Stiff shots abound and by the end both men are bruised and battered. Sheamus kicks Cesaro in the face with a Brogue Kick but the Swiss Superman kicks out. Sheamus can't believe it and appears to be almost afraid of Cesaro for a minute while he comprehends what just happened. Cesaro tries for the Cesaro Swing twice but Sheamus powers out of it both times. Cesaro whips Sheamus back-and-forth between two corners and hits running European uppercuts on Sheamus each time. The last charge sees Sheamus catch Cesaro with a charging clothesline. Sheamus picks Cesaro up for White Noise but Randy Orton's music hits and Sheamus stops what he's doing long enough to stare at Randy, who is standing on the stage. Cesaro spins Sheamus around. Kicks him in the midsection and hits the Neutralizer for the pinfall. The crowd goes crazy for Cesaro to pick up the huge win. Randy Orton smirks and heads to the back, as Cesaro celebrates.

WINNER: Cesaro by pinfall at 16:21 | 76

WHO'S NEXT FOR THE PRIME TIME PLAYERS?

Backstage the Prime Time Players are standing in front of a blackboard with all of the WWE tag teams listed. They erase Kidd & Cesaro due to Kidd's injury and then they draw a big X over The New Day. The PTPers wonder which of the remaining teams are going to step up next and then issue a challenge to those teams to see who the best team is so the PTPers can get some real competition. And make millions of dollars... | 63

[MAIN EVENT] WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION BROCK LESNAR VS. BRAY WYATT & LUKE HARPER

Lesnar is introduced first. Then Wyatt and Harper. But before they get to the ring Triple H comes out and says that he's made some tweaks to the match and wants to introduce the rest of Brock's opponents.

The Big Show, The New Day, Bo Dallas, and King Barrett come out onto the stage too. Triple H gives Brock and ultimatum and tells him that if he'll join the Authority then this will all go away. Brock motions for the heels to "bring it" and they begin to walk toward the ring until "SIERRA. HOTEL. INDIA. ECHO. LIMA. DELTA." and THE SHIELD's music hits! The crowd goes wild as all three men are back in their Shield gear and come through the crowd. They climb into the ring and stand beside Brock as the heels enter the ring. A brawl erupts. The Shield members and Brock are laying waste to the heels but the heels fight back and start to get the upperhand. Seth Rollins flies over the top rope and lands on The New Day, taking them out.

NXT
Live! from Orlando, FL
Wednesday -- Week 1 -- August 2015


BARON CORBIN VS. CHAD GABLE

After the usual show opening we're treated to a quick video package from "Earlier Today" where Baron Corbin was walking backstage and Chad Gable and Jason Jordan made fun of him. Corbin asked if they had a problem and Gable replied that Corbin looks ridiculous with all the tattoos. Corbin challenged Gable to a match. Gable is introduced first and then Corbin. The match itself looks like it's going to be the usual Baron Corbin Squash but when he attempts the End Of Days, Gable manages to turn it into a crucifix pin attempt and gets the 3 count as Jason Jordan helps pin Corbin's shoulders to the mat.

WINNER: Chad Gable by pinfall at 5:21 | 56

 


THE BECK IS BACK

Next up is a video hyping up the return of Becky Lynch who has been out with an injury. The video ends by announcing that she will be returning next week. | 53

 

THE VAUDEVILLAINS VS. ENZO AMORE & COLIN CASSADY w/CARMELLA

After the usual introductions for both teams we get all four men showing each other respect by shaking hands. The announcers mention that this may as well be a de facto #1 contenders match because both teams are near the top of the NXT tag division. The Vaudevillains work hard early to keep Enzo isolated in their corner. Aiden English misses a big boot and that allows Enzo to light him up with some chops to the chest and then a new move added to Enzo's arsenal. He whips English to the ropes and begins to spin wildly, taking English down with a spinning elbow to the face. Enzo tags in Big Cass. Big Cass dominates the smaller English and whips him into the corner. He charges but English moves. Cass slams into the corner and English tags in Simon Gotch. Gotch, the Strongman attempts to lift Cass but can't. Cass waits for Gotch to finish trying and boots him in the face. He covers Gotch, Enzo comes in to prevent English from breaking up the pinfall and this one is over.

WINNERS: Enzo & Big Cass by pinfall at 6:48 | 52

TEAM BAM MAKES A STATEMENT

After the short commercial break we get a shot of the NXT Tag Team Champions Blake and Murphy with their manager Alexa Bliss standing backstage. Alexa points at the titles draped over the mens' shoulders and issues a warning to every team in NXT. She doesn't care if you're some old timey Vaudeville act, legitimate athletes or a couple of guidos from New Jersey, when you run up against Blake and Murphy the only thing you are is a speed bump on their highway to success. The NXT Tag Team Champions are here to stay and if anyone wants to prove her wrong, they're welcome to step up and look like fools. | 48

EMMA VS. BLUE PANTS

Up next is some NXT womens division action with Emma taking on Blue Pants. The match is highly competitive and sees many near falls. The story of the match is Emma not taking her opponent seriously until she nearly loses after being hit with a Shining Wizard. From there Emma takes over and lets her mean streak continue as she bludgeons Blue Pants with power moves and heavy strikes to the head and neck. Emma wins with a version of the dragon sleeper that sees Blue Pants on her stomach, Emma placing her knee between Blue Pants' shoulders and wrenching back on BP's neck with a dragon sleeper. Blue Pants quickly taps.

WINNER: Emma by submission at 5:01 | 42

 


NEXT CONTENDER MAKES HIS INTENTIONS KNOWN

Backstage Finn Balor is standing by with Devin Taylor. Just as she starts the interview, Tyler Breeze comes out of nowhere and lays out the NXT Champion. He slams Balor into the wall and then kicks and punches him until Balor is on the ground. Breeze stomps on Balor as security rushes in and pulls him off. Breeze is yelling "YOU WON'T STOP ME!" as they haul him away. Balor appears to be seriously hurt as the show fades to commercial. | 54

Lots of power moves and brawling as the match continues. Rhyno gores Joe but Samoa Joe kicks out on 2. The match eventually ends when Rhyno tries to gore Rhyno in the corner but Samoa Joe moves. Rhyno hits the corner and Joe pulls him out and hits the Muscle Buster for the win.

After the match the referee is finally able to get Harper to break the choke. Harper runs the referee off and when he turns around Reigns spears him with a ridiculously powerful looking spear. Reigns walks to the back screaming that he wants Bray Wyatt. | 72

They go to attack Kalisto and the referee kicks them out. Back in the ring Kofi takes control. He drops Kalisto with a running knee and then goes to the top rope but Kalisto pops up and runs into the corner and hits a hurracanrana off the top rope. Kalisto pops back up onto the top turnbuckle.

KEVIN OWENS INVITATIONAL

After a brief video of the Kevin Owens Invitational from Raw we get a shot of the entrance way. Owens' music hits and the US Champ makes his way down to the ring. He gets in the ring and says that tonight we are going to witness something he had originally planned for Raw but was told he wasn't allowed to do because of time constraints. On a 3 hour show. Owens says tonight is all about celebrating the fact that the United States of America is now represented in the ring by a French-Canadian! The crowd boos. Owens says he's not going to rename the title or anything hokey like that, but he IS going to celebrate prying the title away from John Cena. "LET'S HEAR IT FOR ME!" he shouts and the crowd boos. Owens says he understands their frustration because Owens isn't some jerk who comes down to the ring, spouts some ridiculous catchphrase, makes some little hand motion and then uses his power and influence to get every advantage possible. Owens is a real wrestler. And he does everything on his own terms. Being US Champion isn't something for Owens to have pride in. It's merely a stop on the way to his ultimate destination. Suddenly Mark Henry's music hits and Henry comes down to the ring. He tells Owens that he's not going to stand by and let someone make a mockery out of the United States. Owens says that even though that is really easy to do, he's not out here to do that. He's out here to simply tell the world that he beat John Cena six days about at Battleground and that no one can ever take that away from him! Henry calls Owens a clown and says he'd be happy to beat him for the title. Owens stutters and calls for a referee. When Henry smiles and goes to walk to his corner Owens charges and nails him in the side of the head with the US Title. Henry is laid out and Owens heads to the back to a chorus of boos. | 72

 

[COMMERCIALS]

SETH ROLLINS VS. KING BARRETT

Thus far the longest match of the show sees Rollins and Barrett go back and forth with numerous near falls. Barrett is made to look really good in this one and the announcers keep putting him over as very dangerous and a threat to Rollins. But ultimately Barrett was only ever just a threat. Rollins took the match with a shooting star press after Barrett missed the Bullhammer and ate a superkick.

WINNER: Seth Rollins by pinfall at 13:38 | 68

A VILLAIN IS NEEDED

Stardust cuts a demented promo about there being a new hero in town, a New Sensation. But every hero needs a villain and he intends on being that villain. | 69

LIVE! from Oklahoma City, OK
Monday -- Week 2 -- August 2015



BROCK AWAY

Prior to the intro video we get a video recapping the return of The Big Red Machine Kane from last week's show. After the Raw opening the announcers welcome us to the show. Fandango is in the ring and R-Truth is introduced for our opening contest. But it doesn't happen as Brock Lesnar comes out to the ring and beats the piss out of both men. Heyman comes running out after his client. Heyman begins to speak on behalf of his client but Brock takes the microphone and just yells one word..."KAAAAAANE!!!" He hands the mic back to Paul Heyman and Heyman explains that tonight was supposed to be an off-night for Brock but he decided to fly in anyway. Heyman explains that Lesnar is not leaving the ring until he gets what he wants...a match against Kane. He doesn't care if it's tonight, next week, at SummerSlam, he just wants the match. Triple H comes out onto the stage and says he's willing to work something out. Unfortunately Kane isn't here tonight and there is already a battle royal scheduled for tonight to determine Brock's opponent for SummerSlam. Triple H then gets an idea. He says that WWE Network will be hosting a special Saturday Night's Main Event next Saturday night LIVE from Australia, eight days before SummerSlam. Kane Vs.

The Ascension keep Sin Cara isolated and eventually beat him with a powerbomb/flying elbow combo.

A REGAL ANNOUNCEMENT

After the NXT intro video we immediately go to a shot of William Regal's office. He is sitting behind his desk as he looks into the camera and announces that Enzo & Big Cass will be fighting for the tag team championship at TakeOver: Brooklyn. | 49

 


BECKY LYNCH VS. DANA BROOKE

Becky's return to an NXT ring is a good one. She carries Dana Brooke to a good match. Dana overpowers Becky to start. The announcers mention Becky's ring rust but when Dana tries for a backbreaker Becky manages to fight out of it. Some stiff knee strikes from Becky turn the match around for her and it's not long before she's making Dana tap out with the Disarmer.

WINNER: Becky Lynch by submission at 6:28 | 68

SASHA'S TAKE

After the match we see Sasha watching backstage on the monitor and Devin Taylor asks Sasha what she thinks about Becky's return. Sasha says she's glad to see Becky back but when they step in the ring at TakeOver in the Triple Threat Match with Bayley, she's going to wish she was still injured. | 49

 


CHAD GABLE VS. MOJO RAWLEY

Gable continues his rise up the ranks in NXT with another impressive showing, this time against the Hype Man, Mojo Rawley. Mojo runs around the ring like an idiot to start and Gable humorously stands back with his arms folded letting Mojo run around. When Mojo finally stops to taunt Gable, Gable dropkicks him. Mojo looks like he injures Gable with an errant elbow strike to the face but it's just a minor busted lip for Gable. Gable wrestles Mojo to the mat and makes him look silly with some technical wrestling. Mojo gets frustrated and levels Gable with a desperation clothesline. Mojo follows it up with a big splash and then the Hammer Time axehandle smash but Gable kicks out. Mojo goes to pick Gable up and Gable rolls him up in a small package for the three count.

WINNER: Chad Gable by pinfall at 7:51 | 42

MAIN EVENT -- SIX-MAN TAG: ENZO, BIG CASS & BARON CORBIN VS. NXT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS BLAKE & MURPHY AND RHYNO

Pretty solid main event for what it was, though with the Corbin/Rhyno feud dropped this match doesn't make as much sense as it would have a couple weeks ago. The story is that as usual Enzo is isolated by the heels and not allowed to tag in either of his giant teammates. But Enzo fights back and manages to tag in Big Cass. Cassady comes in and lays waste to the tag team champions. During the fracas Alexa Bliss attacks Carmella on the outside. Cass is distracted by this and Rhyno is able to sneak into the ring and GORE Big Cass! Cass kicks out of the pin and eventually tags in Baron Corbin. Corbin goes right after Rhyno and tries for the End of Days but Rhyno fights out of it. He charges and gets a boot to the face. Corbin squishes him in the corner. Enzo tags himself in just before Corbin hits the End Of Days on Rhyno out of the corner. Enzo covers Rhyno for the pinfall.

WINNERS: Enzo Amore, Colin Cassady, and Baron Corbin by pinfall at 11:49 | 50

The show goes off the air with the three faces celebrating and the heel tag team champions scurrying up the ramp.

After the SmackDown! intro video we get a shot of the arena and then New Day makes their way to the ring. About halfway down Woods stops his teammates and tells them they can take a powder because he can win this one by himself. Kalisto is introduced. The match itself is pretty good once it starts. Kalisto gets in his usual high flying offense and Woods bumps like crazy for him. Woods eventually gets the upper hand and uses some power moves to ground Kalisto. But it doesn't work forever as Woods tries for a Dominator but Kalisto lands on his feet, kicks Woods in the midsection and hits a facebuster. Xavier stands up and gets hit with Salida del Sol for the pinfall.

OVERALL RATING: 71


From WrestlingPlayground.com...

- As we've seen the last two weeks on SmackDown!, WWE is beginning to push Kalisto as a singles competitor. Some in the company see him as the next Rey Mysterio Jr. while others don't think he'll go that far but that he can be a valuable contributor.

- The decision to turn the Australian house show into a Network special came about when WWE booked themselves into a corner with the masked Kane vs. Brock Lesnar story. They knew Kane wasn't going to face Lesnar at SummerSlam but they needed to pay off the angle with an actual match. Lesnar was going on the tour anyway so the decision was made to run the show.

- With the NXT roster getting a bit thin it's been rumored that there are going to be multiple new faces debuting within the next few weeks.

- WWE has also bolstered it's developmental ranks by signing a large number of talent to developmental deals. This list includes: Tomasso Ciampa, Dave Mastiff, Chuck Taylor, Mikey Nicholls, Biff Busick, Todd Hanson, Willie Mack, Marshall and Ross Von Erich, Mike Bennett, Shane Haste, and Ricochet. Not all of the signees will be staying at the Performance Center for a long time as the NXT roster needs a boost and apparently the plan is to bring in an influx of talent to NXT.

WHO IS LESNAR'S NEXT VICTIM?

Show opens with a recap of the end of last week's show with Owens and Cena both being declared the winner of the #1 contender battle royal. After the intro video we get a live shot of the arena and Paul Heyman is introduced. He comes to the ring and cuts a promo about Brock Lesnar deserving to know who he will be facing in 13 days at SummerSlam. Before Heyman can call out Triple H, John Cena's music hits. Cena comes down to the ring and he talks about the controversy. The WWE Universe is all over social media talking about who won. #CenaWon, #OwensWon, it's been a circus. Well Cena thinks he has the answer...Owens' music hits and Kevin Owens comes out onto the stage with the US Title draped over his shoulder. He talks as he walks to the ring. Owens says that Cena is going to try to show doctored footage to make it look like he won but that's not true. Owens won. It's clear as day. But Owens understands that the WWE Universe wouldn't want Lesnar/Owens at SummerSlam for fear that Owens will become WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Now in the ring, Owens and Cena have a staredown and look like they're about to fight when Triple H's music plays. Triple H comes out and says he has a solution. They already have a main event scheduled for tonight but Cena and Owens will wrestle and the winner will face Lesnar at SummerSlam. And that match...is happening now! | 81


#1 CONTENDER MATCH: WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPION KEVIN OWENS VS. JOHN CENA

There's something strange about this match that gets noticed right away as both guys just seem a bit off their game. Owens botches a second rope dropkick early on as he slips off the ropes. Cena also botches a move, falling off the ropes while attempting the springboard stunner. The crowd is into it but it just doesn't live up to their previous outings. Owens nearly wins with a package piledriver but Cena kicks out. Owens yells at the official and when he turns around Cena hits the AA. Owens rolls out of the ring before Cena can cover him. Cena shows his desperation and goes for a suicide dive but Owens sees it coming and moves. Cena flies into the barricade and Owens kicks and stomps him. They never back into the ring as they begin brawling on the outside. The referee counts them out but they don't seem to care. The fight continues on the ramp and eventually into the crowd. Security guards and agents rush out to break up the fight and the show goes to commercial with both men being separated and the match officially being ruled a double countout.

NO CONTEST: Double Countout at 11:27 | 76

WE HAVE OUR MAIN EVENT

Paul Heyman is in Triple H's office yelling about SummerSlam. Triple H says that he has so much to worry about tonight so he books Lesnar to defend the WH Title against Cena AND Owens in a Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam. Heyman is pissed and says that Triple H will regret this as he rushes off to call Brock. As soon as Heyman leaves, Seth Rollins enters. Triple H is ready to fight but Rollins tells him to relax. He came here for business. Rollins is officially using his rematch clause at SummerSlam. He wants a Fatal 4-Way. Triple H says he's aready angered Brock enough as it is. Triple H tells Rollins he can't use his rematch clause at SummerSlam. Rollins is pissed and wants to know why. Triple H says he already has a match at SummerSlam. Against him. Rollins asks Triple H if he's seriously going to allow himself to get his ass kicked by Rollins at SummerSlam. Triple H says that Rollins has been running his mouth in the media and he's really given Triple H no choice. Triple H is confident that he will be able to shut Seth's mouth once and for all at SummerSlam. So confident in fact that he wants Seth to put his rematch on the line. If Seth wins, he can have his rematch later in the evening as part of a Fatal 4-Way. If Seth loses, he gets no rematch. Ever. Rollins agrees and says it'll be a pleasure to kick Triple H's ass. | 82

BIG CASS w/CARMELLA VS. BLAKE w/ALEXA BLISS

It's announced that leading up to TakeOver we're going to see two singles matches between these two teams. Next week is Enzo vs. Murphy. Blake gets enormous heel heat in this one by playing his role as an asshole perfectly. He constantly refuses to get locked up with Cass, instead opting for open hand slaps or kicks to the legs before getting out of the way. Cass is getting frustrated at being unable to get his hands on Blake. After Blake bails from the ring for the third time he is confronted by Carmella. She starts ripping into him when Alexa Bliss gets in her face. As the women argue Cass is able to grab Blake by the hair and pick him up and pull him into the ring. Cass slams Blake to the ground. He hits some strikes and a couple power moves like a sidewalk slam but it only gets a two count. With Blake down Cass stands up and walks to the ropes to set up for a big boot. But Alexa grabs Cass' leg. Carmella tackles her on the outside. With his timing messed up Cass stands there. Blake takes the opportunity to charge him but Cass lifts him for a chokeslam/spinebuster combo and then pins Blake for the win.

Balor says that they each have one pinfall victory over the other. Balor proposes that they make sure to settle it once and for all and make the TakeOver match a Best Of 3 Falls match. Regal likes the idea and agrees to it immediately. | 56

MAIN EVENT: BECKY LYNCH & BAYLEY VS. DANA BROOKE & EMMA

Fantastic tag team main event between four women who have great chemistry with one another. NXT Womens Champion Sasha Banks is on commentary for this one. Bayley is worked over early on with Emma locking her in arm submissions every time she can. Emma tags in Dana Brooke who just overpowers Bayley and throws around the heel half of the ring like a ragdoll. Dana tries for a strange looking F-5 with Bayley face-up on her shoulders, but somehow Bayley lands on her feet in a cool looking spot. Dana tries for a clothesline but Bayley ducks and makes the tag. Becky is on fire. She takes out Dana and then Emma enters to help her teammate and Becky drops her with a dropkick. Becky hits Dana with a running knee in the corner. She goes for a bulldog out of it like CM Punk but Dana lifts her up and tosses her into the middle of the ring. Becky hits hard and Dana takes control. Dana hits Becky with a backbreaker and works over her back. Becky can barely stand when Dana tags Emma in. Emma comes in and locks Becky in a surfboard but Becky refuses to tap out. Emma lets her go and drags her back to the heel corner. She tags in Dana. Dana picks Becky up onto her shoulder and drops her for a snake eyes onto the top rope. Becky bounces up and Dana spins her around and boots her in the stomach and then hits a ddt. She only gets a two count on the pin attempt. Dana picks Becky up and whips her into the corner hard. Becky hits the corner and Dana charges. Becky moves and Dana slams into the corner. Emma tags herself in and Becky tags Bayley. Bayley-To-Belly on Emma but only a two-count. Dana hits Bayley from behind with a forearm shot the referee forces her out of the ring. Emma suplexes Bayley and then drops a knee onto Bayley's head. Emma picks Bayley up and chops her until she's at the ropes. Emma goes for an Irish whip but Bayley reverses it. Emma comes off the ropes and Bayley hits a running knee to Emma's midsection. A gutwrench suplex follows and then Bayley tags Becky. Becky dropkicks Dana off the apron. She turns around and Emma tries to kick her but Becky catches the foot. Emma goes for an enziguiri but Becky ducks.

LIVE! from Little Rock, AR
Thursday -- Week 3 -- August 2015
OWENS IS HERE
Show opens with Kevin Owens coming down to the ring. He talks about the Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam and mocks Lesnar and Cena for not being here tonight. Owens tells the fans that if they want someone to root for it should be for the guy who comes to every show. Not the guy who is too important to work on Thursdays or the part-timer. Owens guarantees he's going to add the World Heavyweight Championship to his wardrobe at SummerSlam. Before he can say anything else, SmackDown! GM and Director of Operations Brad Maddox comes out on the stage and announces that he's signed another great main event for SmackDown! this evening. It will be Kevin Owens defending his United States Championship against Dolph Ziggler! The crowd pops but Owens is not happy. Owens asks Maddox if Triple H will be happy with him when Owens hurts Dolph so bad that he can't compete at SummerSlam. Owens then promises to hurt Dolph tonight. | 92
[COMMERCIALS]
CESARO VS. SHEAMUS
The announcers mention that all three men in the US Title #1 Contender triple threat match on the SummerSlam pre-show have been allowed to choose each other's opponent tonight. Up first is Cesaro. His opponent was chosen by King Barrett. Cesaro is introduced first to a strong reaction. He gets to the ring and then Sheamus is introduced. Their match is pretty good. Sheamus controls early and Cesaro makes his comeback. Cesaro eventually gets Sheamus in the Cesaro Swing. Suddenly Big Show's music hits. Cesaro drops Sheamus and looks to the entrance. Big Show comes out onto the stage and he and Cesaro begin yelling at each other. Cesaro turns around and eats a Brogue Kick. Sheamus covers Cesaro for the pinfall.
WINNER: Sheamus by pinfall at 9:28 | 69
WRITTEN IN THE STARS
Stardust cuts a promo on Neville and tells him that what he did to "the Green One" is nothing compared to what will happen to Neville at SummerSlam. Stardust says destiny has already determined Neville's fate and that he will find the future that is laid out for him written in the stars if he just looks hard enough. | 67
[COMMERCIALS]
BELLAS CAN'T EVEN
Backstage the Bellas and Alicia Fox are discussing Paige's attempt to save Natalya last week. Alicia says she told them that Paige was playing them. Nikki says that it made no sense that Paige would want to throw away her friendship with the most powerful women in wrestling just to save Natalya. Alicia Fox says she'll live to regret it. | 51
IMPORTANCIA DE LAS MÁSCARAS
A video airs hyping the importance of masks in lucha libre before hyping Kalisto/Sin Cara in a mask vs. mask match. | 52
SIN CARA VS. CURTIS AXEL
After the video airs Curtis Axel is already in the ring. Sin Cara gets introduced. Sin Cara wrestles a more grounded heel style in this one. He works Axel over pretty good by attacking his back. Sin Cara hits a backcracker on Axel and covers him but then picks him up to inflict more damage before eventually winning with a brainbuster.
WINNER: Sin Cara by pinfall at 5:38 | 52
CURTIS MASK-EL
After the match Sin Cara pulls a mask that resembles Kalisto's out of his boot and tries to put it on Axel. He gets the mask about halfway on and then just starts kicking and stomping Axel repeatedly before eventually deciding to show some mercy and leaving the ring. | 60
[COMMERCIALS]
THE BIG SHOW VS. MARK HENRY
Ugh. Cesaro picked Mark Henry to be Big Show's opponent. This one was surprisingly long and not very exciting. They basically brawled around the ring and hit a few power moves. Big Show stalled for a bit in the middle as he claims Henry tried to "eat his hand" which was pretty funny to see. When Show got back in the ring Henry started to take over the action but it didn't last as Show launched Henry into the corner and then avalanched him before hitting the WMD punch for the pinfall victory.
WINNER: The Big Show by pinfall at 11:06 | 56
PAIGE HURT
Backstage we see Paige is laid out from an apparent attack. Security and EMTs along with Natalya rush over to check on her but she's unconscious. | 72
[COMMERCIALS]
KING BARRETT VS. RYBACK
The Big Show got to pick Barrett's opponent and it's announced as Ryback and the crowd is happy. Ryback charges the ring like the Ultimate Warrior and slides in and absolutely rocks Barrett with a ridiculously stiff clothesline to open the match. That would be a trend with these two as they continually stiffed one another for the entire duration of the match. It was a good one too as both men looked equally strong. The ending sequence came about 12 minutes into the match. Barrett was setting up for the Bullhammer but Ryback ducked. He lifted Barrett up for the Shellshock but The Miz appears on the stage and distracts Ryback. Barrett gets back to his feet and as soon as Ryback turns back around he gets leveled with the elbow and pinned for the victory.
WINNER: King Barrett by pinfall at 13:15 | 63
[COMMERCIALS]
THE PEEP SHOW
Christian is introduced for his weekly Peep Show segment. Tonight's guests are The Prime Time Players. They come out and discuss their Open Invitation Tag Team Turmoil match at SummerSlam and say that they have opened the door for tag teams from all over the world to come challenge them. After a couple minutes The New Day come down to the ring and get into it with the PTPers. Christian helps the faces run The New Day off. | 55
DOLPH MAKES A PROMISE
Backstage Dolph Ziggler and Lana are standing by with Renee Young. Dolph promises to win the US Title tonight. Renee then asks about Lana training to be a wrestler ahead of SummerSlam and Dolph says that she is getting really good but that should be no surprise because she has a great teacher, implying himself. | 88
[COMMERCIALS]
MAIN EVENT: WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: KEVIN OWENS © VS. DOLPH ZIGGLER
Both men come out to the ring and then we get the title fight introductions. Owens gets an advantage by attacking Dolph before the bell. Owens beats Dolph all over the ring but Dolph combats a charge with a clothesline and gets the upper hand. Dolph gets a few near falls with some impact moves. Owens rolls outside and stalls for a few minutes and eventually Dolph chases him back into the ring. Owens kicks and stomps Dolph as he rolls back in. Owens whips Dolph across the ring and goes for a clothesline but Dolph ducks. He comes off the ropes and Owens superkicks him. Dolph crumples to the mat and Owens covers but Dolph kicks out on two. Owens keeps beating up Dolph and then going for pin attempts and Dolph keeps kicking out. Eventually Dolph turns the tide and gets in a flurry of moves. Dolph attempts to hit a rocker dropper on Owens but KO catches him in mid-air for the pop-up powerbomb and the pinfall.
WINNER and STILL WWE United States Champion: Kevin Owens by pinfall at 17:27 | 81
CATFIGHT!
After the match ends Owens heads to the back and Rusev and Summer Rae come out onto the stage. Rusev is making fun of Dolph. When Summer Rae takes the mic she begins to run down Lana, who runs up the ramp and attacks Summer. They roll around and have a catfight that gets broken up by officials as the show goes off the air. | 68

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event
LIVE! from Sydney, Australia
WWE Network Exclusive

- In a dark match before the show, Australian native Buddy Murphy and his tag team partner Wesley Blake retained their NXT Tag Team Championship by defeating The Hype Bros., Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley by pinfall when Murphy pinned Ryder after Alexa Bliss interfered. This wasn't very good. I'd rate it about a 39/100.

- WWE Intercontinental Championship The Miz opened the network special. He ran down the crowd and insulted Australia. He was interrupted by his opponent, Neville. Neville told Miz that he ran his mouth too much and that if he was a true champion he'd let his actions speak for him. The match was decent, lots of near falls but too short to really get going. | 53

- Up next was Paige Vs. Brie Bella. They introduced this with a highlight package of their recent storyline. The match itself was actually pretty good. I feel like the crowd wasn't really into Paige as much as most and so they were pretty dead. Good in-ring action though. Match ended with Paige making Brie tap to the PTO. | 35

- The Highlight Reel/Peep Show. In a surprise for the live audience, Chris Jericho came out for an episode of The Highlight Reel. Y2J had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. He introduced his guest, Christian. Christian insisted that Jericho was HIS guest on The Peep Show. They went back and forth interviewing one another with each man just peppering the other with questions. The crowd popped as Jericho asked Christian to "Please SHUT. THE HELL. UP!" Christian obliges and then loses Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine whose show it is. Jericho asks Christian about his health and Christian admits that he may never wrestle again but that he's hoping to make a comeback. He's interrupted by Heath Slater. Slater comes down to the ring and tells both men that no one cares what they have to say. He says that for these two dinosaurs to come out here to yak it up and force guys like Slater to not get a chance to wrestle is ridiculous. He calls Christian a loser and Jericho a has-been and they have heard enough. They take Slater out and Christian hits the Unprettier and Jericho locks Slater in the Walls Of Jericho as the crowd cheers. | 60


- Samoa Joe and Finn Balor defeated Kevin Owens and Tyler Breeze. Great tag match with only minimal heat. Joe pinned Tyler Breeze following a Muscle Buster. | 50

- A video hypes up the history between John Cena and Rusev. Then both men are introduced. The crowd is crazy for Cena and Rusev gets a ton of heat on him early by cheating to get an advantage. Rusev works Cena over and nearly makes Cena pass out in The Accolade but Cena fights back. A standard Cena match from a booking standpoint. Cena got his comeback in and eventually won with the Attitude Adjustment. | 58

- After a tale-of-the-tape preview of our main event, Kane was introduced. A plant in the stands tried to reach over and touch Kane as he got to the ring so the recently re-masked Big Red Machine grabbed the man and pulled him over the barrier and chokeslammed him down. Brock Lesnar was introduced next. He came out with Paul Heyman. Lesnar and Kane fought for about 10 minutes before Kane got Lesnar up for a Tombstone. Lesnar reversed it, got Kane up on his shoulders and hit an F-5 for the pinfall. Lesnar celebrated in the ring as the show went off the air for the WWE Network viewers. | 70

OVERALL RATING: 64

Heyman and Lesnar enter the arena and the announcers mention that Heyman has a message for John Cena and Kevin Owens that he will deliver later tonight. | 78


ROMAN REIGNS VS. LUKE HARPER

Harper is introduced first. He comes out without Bray Wyatt. Roman Reigns gets a big pop as he comes through the crowd. The match is pretty good. Harper works pretty stiff and it makes his offense seem more believable against a guy like Reigns. Harper controls the early part of the match. Reigns makes the babyface comeback. He hits his Superman Punch spot but as he's about to spear Harper, Bray Wyatt can be heard laughing. Bray's visage appears on the TitanTron and Reigns stops to look at it, allowing Harper to blast him in the face with a big boot for the pinfall.

He says that Triple H is getting older and shouldn't be getting in the ring with someone who is in as good of shape as Seth is. Renee then asks Seth about his match tonight against Kane. Seth laughs and says this is Triple H's way of softening Seth up before SummerSlam but it's not going to work. Seth says he isn't afraid of some big red idiot and he's going to make Kane look like the goof that he is tonight. | 74

WINNER: Titus O'Neil by pinfall at 11:38 | 51


UNFAIR TO NIKKI

Backstage WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella is standing by with her sister Brie and their friend Alicia Fox. Nikki is upset because she was just told that she has to put her Divas Championship on the line in their tag match at SummerSlam. She doesn't think it's fair that she can lose the Divas Championship if Brie gets pinned. Brie promises her that she won't get pinned or be made to submit. Nikki then tells Brie and Alicia that their job tonight is to make sure Paige and Natalya are in no shape to compete this Sunday. | 51


[COMMERCIALS]


BRIE BELLA & ALICIA FOX w/NIKKI BELLA VS. PAIGE & NATALYA

Decent tv match. Natalya gets worked over most of the match and eventually gets the hot tag to Paige. Paige cleans house before Nikki trips her.

The announcers hype up the SmackDown! main event for this week...a 5-on-5 Elimination Match pitting Sheamus, The Miz, Stardust, Sin Cara, and Rusev Vs. Randy Orton, Ryback, Neville, Kalisto & Dolph Ziggler. | 61


KALISTO VS. ADAM ROSE

Short match with some decent action. Rose continues to show a more aggressive style than usual in this one. He manhandles the smaller Kalisto and works a power move style. Kalisto makes every offensive move from Rose look devastating. Eventually Rose goes for a running boot in the corner but Kalisto moves. From there Kalisto takes over. Springboard hurracanrana, dropkick into the corner and then a corner-knee/flipping stunner combo gets the victory for Kalisto.

WINNER: Kalisto by pinfall at 4:18 | 61


UNMASKING

After the match Sin Cara comes running down to the ring. He attacks a celebrating Kalisto and tries to rip off Kalisto's mask but somehow Kalisto wriggles away and hits a Pele kick and a Shooting Star Press from the top turnbuckle. | 70


THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY

A vignette airs for Jack Swagger. Swagger is wearing camouflage and has a big beard. He says that he used to be All-American. He used to care about this country and it's people. But the United States turned it's back on Jack Swagger. Swagger says that it's time for him to come back and take out his anger on the WWE Universe. Anyone and everyone they hold sacred will be a target and a victim. And they have no one to blame but themselves. Swagger pledges allegiance to himself and declares himself The Man Without A Country. | 51


[COMMERCIALS]


SETH ROLLINS VS. KANE

Rollins does everything he can to avoid Kane for the opening moments of the match. Eventually Kane grabs Seth by the hair and yanks him backward and grabs him for a chokeslam. Rollins fights out of it and gets some offense in. They go back and forth for a bit and eventually they end up brawling outside. Kane tries to chokeslam Seth through the announce table but Seth moves out of the way and runs up to the apron. He leaps off and knees Kane in the side of the head. He puts Kane on the table and goes to the top rope. A top rope elbow drop down through the table results in neither man being able to meet the referee's 10-count.

RESULT: Double Countout at 12:19 | 66


A PREVIEW OF THINGS TO COME

After the match Triple H comes down and drags Seth into the ring. He yells at him and picks him up by the hair. Triple H slaps Seth and then pedigrees him. He pedigrees him again. And then a third time. Triple H gets a microphone and lets the whole world know that he just gave them a preview of SummerSlam when Seth Rollins is going to be embarrassed by Triple H. | 80


[COMMERCIALS]


A WARNING TO TRIPLE H

A recap of the previous segment is shown and then a live shot of Triple H backstage. Stephanie McMahon is there in the Authority office and she warns Hunter about getting too involved in all of this without any allies. Triple H says he's the boss and doesn't need any allies but promises Steph that he has a plan. Steph tells him to be careful this Sunday because Seth can still be a dangerous opponent.

[COMMERCIALS]


MAIN EVENT -- BRAY WYATT VS. DEAN AMBROSE

Bray is introduced first. He's attacked during his entrance by Ambrose who goes off on Wyatt like a madman. Ambrose hammers away on Wyatt in the entrance way. He fires numerous lefts and rights and then picks Bray up and throws him into the barricade. Ambrose kicks Bray a few times and then picks him up by his beard. He whips Bray into the steel ring steps. Wyatt hits hard. Ambrose chokes Bray with his boot and then eventually picks him up and throws him into the ring. Ambrose continues the beatdown as the match officially begins. Ambrose attempts no wrestling moves, instead opting for fists and stomps to Wyatt's near lifeless body. Wyatt rolls outside at one point and Dean hits a suicide dive. As both men are down we go to commercial. After the break Wyatt is in control. We get a split screen replay of Ambrose leaping off the steps for a double axe handle on Wyatt during the break. Wyatt caught Dean with a super hard lariat and then rolled him back in. Wyatt has a nerve hold on Ambrose's neck and JBL points out the effectiveness of the hold. Ambrose refuses to submit and Wyatt thumbs him hard in the throat with the leather covered thumb of his right hand. Wyatt picks Ambrose up and whips him into the nearest corner. A charging avalanche in the corner stuns Dean. Wyatt grabs him to hit Sister Abigail but Dean fights out of it with elbows to Bray's head. Ambrose kicks Wyatt in the midsection and hits Dirty Deeds. He covers Wyatt for a two count. Ambrose tries for an elbow drop but Bray moves. The Eater Of Worlds gets to his feet and boots Dean in the back of the head. He bends down and picks Dean up. He backs him into the ropes and chops him once before whipping him across the ring. Bray charges and throws a knee into Dean's midsection. Wyatt kicks a seated Dean Ambrose in the back and then bends down and picks him up. He grabs Dean by the hair on the back of his head and begins laughing in Dean's face. Bray yells "You've chosen this path!" over and over and then fires a hard knee into Dean's midsection and then hits a running clothesline. Wyatt motions for Sister Abigail and bends down to pick Ambrose up. Ambrose kicks Bray in the head and Bray is momentarily stunned. Dean gets up and bounces off the ropes to charge Bray but Bray moves. Dean collides with the referee. As the referee flies through the ropes and to the floor, Luke Harper comes down to the ring. He climbs in and Dean goes after him with some right hands. Harper boots Dean in the face and Dean falls right into Bray Wyatt's arms. Wyatt hits Sister Abigail on Dean and then begins yelling for Roman Reigns. Reigns obliges and comes down to the ring from the crowd. He slides in and spears Harper. Reigns and Bray brawl to the outside. When the referee finally comes to Bray and Roman are brawling in the crowd. The referee gives Bray a ten count but he doesn't answer so the official awards the match to Dean Ambrose.

WINNER: Dean Ambrose by countout at 20:54 | 74


POST-MATCH FIGHT

As Dean's arm is raised in victory, Luke Harper gets up onto his feet and crouches down, waiting for Ambrose to turn around. Dean turns around and Harper lights him up with a discus lariat. Harper picks Ambrose up for a big boot but Ambrose ducks. He bounces off the ropes, jumps and hits a flying clothesline that knocks Harper into the ropes. Ambrose clotheslines him over the top but Harper lands on his feet. Ambrose then hits a suicide dive and he and Harper eventually end up brawling into the crowd as well. | 75


BROCK IS NEXT

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar are seen walking to the ring. | 80


[COMMERCIALS]


INTO THE PARKING LOT

Cameras catch up with Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, and Luke Harper as all four men are now outside the arena, brawling in the parking lot. Someone has apparently called the police as cops show up to break up the fight. WWE officials step in and all four men are separated. | 81


BROCK TO THE FUTURE

Heyman and Lesnar hit the ring. Heyman cuts a promo on Kevin Owens and John Cena. Heyman puts over both guys but says that Brock Lesnar already demolished Cena and Owens beat Cena clean in the middle of the ring so...how does that make John Cena a contender? Cena comes out and addresses Heyman and Lesnar. Cena says that he is the most decorated superstar in WWE right now and that makes him a contender. Heyman says winning the title 15 times means you've lost it 15 times. Lesnar lost the title at WrestleMania without being pinned. Brock has not been pinned in over two years. Brock is a force of domination. Cena says that Brock is proof that streaks can be broken. And at SummerSlam, Cena is going to end his streak. This brings out Kevin Owens. Owens says he's sick of being overlooked and looked down upon as a guy who doesn't belong. Last time he checked, he beat Cena. He also, isn't afraid of Brock Lesnar like some guys are. Owens then takes the opportunity to remind Heyman, and Brock, that Brock can lose the title without being pinned again. All Owens has to do is incapacitate Brock long enough to let him take out Cena and Kevin Owens is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Heyman says Owens is right and that has been Brock's solitary complaint about this match. Brock does not feel that he should be punished because someone else gets pinned. So if Brock should happen to lose the title without being pinned, it won't happen, but IF IT DOES...says Heyman...then whomever walks out of SummerSlam as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion will not be walking out of Raw next Monday night. Because his client will be pissed. And when the reigning, defending, undisputed, not pinned in the last TWO AND A HALF YEARS, WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World is pissed off...bad things happen.


Lesnar raises the WWE WH Championship high above his head. Owens responds in kind and then looks at Cena without a title and laughs. Cena gets in Owens' face. Owens shoves Cena. Cena bumps Lesnar. Lesnar spins him around, kicks him and F-5s him! Lesnar pops up and Kevin Owens is standing behind him. Owens low blows Lesnar and then charges and hits Lesnar in the side of the head with the United States Championship. Lesnar goes down. Owens grabs the WH Title and holds both belts up in the air and poses. He sees Lesnar start to stir and he takes off running. The show goes off the air with Owens on the stage smirking, proud of his work, while Lesnar and Cena recover in the ring. The announcers wonder if Owens' ability to get under people's skin gives him an advantage this Sunday at SummerSlam. | 83

Enzo and Cass are out first to a big reaction. They do their usual schtick and then get in the ring. They're interrupted by Blake & Murphy's music. The heel tag team champions get to the ring and Murphy enters and jumps Enzo before the bell. Murphy controls the early moments and Big Cass is beside himself as the referee is distracted by Alexa while Blake chokes Murphy in the corner. Cass chases after Blake and the official sees it and tells Cass that he has to leave the ringside area because he's a distraction. Murphy keeps working over Enzo with rest holds and kicks and stomps. Carmella gets the crowd to chant for Enzo and he starts to get fired up. Enzo gets a chinbuster on Murphy who sells it like he's been busted open. The referee goes to check on him and Alexa Bliss climbs up onto the apron. Carmella goes over to confront her and the official is distracted. This allows Blake to slide into the ring with his NXT Tag Team Championship and smash Enzo in the back of the head with it. Murphy gets a small package and the official sees it and counts the pinfall.

BEST LOOKING CHAMPION IN NXT HISTORY
Backstage Tyler Breeze is staring at himself in a mirror and begins talking about how great the NXT Championship will look around his waist. He says that if Finn Balor thinks his demon persona is going to scare Tyler he's wrong. Tyler isn't afraid of demons.

Dean talks about Bray Wyatt targeting Roman. Dean says only someone who is truly sick would target someone's family. Which is why Dean is going after Bray's family. Dean tells Bray that it takes a psycho to truly understand a psycho and Dean says he gets Bray. He knows what it's like to have an elevator that doesn't go all the way to the top. Before he can continue the lights go out and Bray appears on the big screen along with Luke Harper. Bray tells a story about how when he was a young child his father took him out on a boat into the middle of a lake and then hopped out and swam back to shore.

NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn

LIVE! from Brooklyn, NY

Saturday -- Week 4 -- August 2015


- A video airs hyping up the big matches for tonight's show. Sasha/Becky/Bayley and Balor/Breeze. After the video ends we get a shot of the arena and some fireworks. The crowd is pumped. The announcers welcome everyone to the show.


- The crowd erupted when Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady's music hit. Enzo, Cass and Carmella come out and do their usual mic work. The crowd is eating out of the palm of their hands. Before Cass can get to spelling it out for us the NXT Tag Team Champions Blake and Murphy enter after their music hits. The crowd is hot for the opening match and the teams respond with working an exciting match to open the show. As usual Enzo is isolated by the heels as they wear him down. Enzo eventually makes the hot tag and Cass cleans house. He hits a spinning uranage on Murphy and goes for the pinfall but Blake pulls the referee out of the ring. The referee threatens to disqualify Blake and Murphy and Blake tells him to go ahead. Enzo hits the spot of the match as he leaps off the apron and takes Blake out with a flying clothesline. Before the referee gets back in the ring Alexa Bliss comes up behind Cass and shoves him. Cass turns around and Alexa starts yelling at him. Carmella hits the ring and tackles Alexa and they roll out of the ring. Cass is distracted and Murphy grabs one of the tag titles and when Cass turns around Murphy leaps into the air and cracks Cass in the face with the title. Cass is out and Murphy covers Cass for the pinfall to retain the titles at 9:06. | 66


- A video airs hyping the upcoming debut of Mexican lucha sensation La Sombra, who apparently will be making his NXT debut in the coming weeks. | 51


- Scott Dawson is introduced next. He's given some promo time and he says that he feels sorry for Apollo Crews because you only get one chance to make a first impression and tonight Crews' first impression is going to be that of a loser. Crews comes out next and he immediately seems likeable. He greets the large crowd with a huge smile. Once he hits the ring the match is all about Crews getting his big spots in. Dawson jumps Crews as soon as he gets to the ring. He punches and kicks Crews a few times and hits a suplex. Dawson gets Crews in the corner and kicks him in the midsection, lights him up with some chops and then pulls Crews to the middle of the ring. Dawson tries for a ddt but Crews blocks it and takes over the match. A gorilla press slam and some hip tosses. Crews dropkicks Dawson and Dawson is knocked into the corner. Crews waits for Dawson to bounce out of the corner and hits a powerslam. Crews hits a standing moonsault and then covers Dawson for the pinfall victory at 5:38. | 53


- Up next is the Golden Ticket Battle Royal. The announcers mention that the winner of the battle royal will receive an NXT Championship match at a time of their choosing. The participants in the match are mostly current NXT roster guys whom we are all familiar with: Solomon Crowe, Tye Dillinger, Baron Corbin, Aiden English, Simon Gotch, Bull Dempsey, Elias Sampson, Sawyer Fulton, Chad Gable, Jason Jordan, Rhyno, and Mojo Rawley. But three newcomers join the action as well...Alexander Wolfe (Axel Tischer), Caden Covington, and Jamar Tarver (Jay Lethal). The crowd popped big for the unexpected entrance of Jay Lethal as I don't think many people knew he had signed with WWE. Once all 15 men were in the ring the bell rang. | 50


- Sawyer Fulton was eliminated almost immediately by a Vaudevillains double dropkick. Caden Covington went out next as Baron Corbin clotheslined him over the top. The camera didn't catch how Jason Jordan was eliminated but Chad Gable played a role in it as he was seen apologizing to Jordan. Tye Dillinger was using Simon Gotch as a human shield until Aiden English attacked Dillinger from behind and the Vaudevillains teamed up to toss him as well. Jamar Tarver popped the crowd by eliminating a charging Bull Dempsey. Alexander Wolfe put an end to the Vaudevillains Cinderella run by booting Simon Gotch in the face and knocking him to the floor. Elias Sampson was eliminated next by Rhyno. Solomon Crowe was gorilla pressed to the outside by Mojo Rawley. Alexander Wolfe was eliminated next by Aiden English, getting revenge on him for eliminating Gotch. Chad Gable hit Jamar Tarver with a sick belly-to-belly suplex and did some jumping jacks. But Aiden English caught him flush in the jaw with a right hand and then a suplex to the arena floor. Mojo Rawley was eliminated by Rhyno. The final four -- Baron Corbin, Aiden English, Rhyno, and Jamar Tarver -- start to brawl. Tarver and Corbin and Rhyno and English break off. Rhyno charged English and English back body dropped him to the outside. Rhyno landed on the apron. Baron Corbin clotheslined Tarver and then charged English for a big boot. English ducked and Rhyno was booted in the face and knocked to the floor to be eliminated. Jamar Tarver got to his feet and charged Corbin. He hit a dropkick and Corbin was staggered. Aiden English clotheslined Corbin but he remained on his feet. English hit a discuss clothesline and backed up. He charged Corbin but Corbin sidestepped and tossed English to the outside. English hung on and tried to skin the cat but Corbin booted him in the head and he fell to the floor. The final two are Jamar Tarver and Baron Corbin. The crowd begins chanting for Tarver. They square off and have a pretty decent singles match that ends with Corbin catching Tarver as he leapt off the top rope. Corbin hit the End Of Days and then tossed Tarver over the top and to the floor to pick up the victory at 18:38. | 57


- The crowd boos as Corbin celebrates in the ring. The show fades to a video hyping the debut of Aimee Ravel, formerly known as Candice LeRae. She will be debuting soon as well. | 50


- Backstage Devin Taylor is standing by with NXT newcomer Jamar Tarver. She asks him about his impressive debut and he talks about being happy to be in NXT with the best wrestlers in the world. He says that he was real close to winning an NXT Championship match tonight and he thinks the title is in his future. | 60


- Samoa Joe is out next. He cuts a promo saying that he hopes Regal has found a good opponent for him tonight. Suddenly BO DALLAS' music hits and Bo Dallas comes out onto the stage. Bo walks down to the ring, cutting a promo on Joe. He tells Joe that Joe wouldn't need to be so cranky all of the time if he Bolieved. Bo gets in the ring and the match begins. Joe grabs Bo by the arm and hits a short-arm forearm shot to the face. Joe then locks Bo in the Kokina Clutch and chokes Bo out in 1:02. | 54


- As Joe gets up off the mat he grabs a microphone and before he can say anything William Regal comes out onto the stage. Regal apologizes and says that Bo Dallas was NOT Regal's choice for competition for Joe. The Big Show's music hits and Show comes down to the ring. He gets in the ring and stands face-to-face with Joe. The crowd is heckling Show with "Please Retire!" chants and Show yells at them to shut up. The bell rings and the two men exchange strikes. The announcers talk about Big Show being a bad matchup for Joe because he's too big for Joe to choke him out or hit the Muscle Buster on him. They exchange more strikes in the center of the ring. Joe starts to kick Show in the leg and Show shoves him backward. Show goes for the WMD punch but Joe manages to get his arms up. Joe fires back at Show with open handed strikes. Show covers up and then Joe goes back to kicking Show in the thigh again. Joe charges and hits a running dropkick on Show and knocks him into the ropes. Joe hits some kicks and punches and then a spinning kick to Show's face. Joe clothesline Big Show to the outside. Show lands on his feet. Samoa Joe charges and hits a suicide dive through the ropes and knocks Show backwards. Show and Joe both get to their feet at the same time and Show goes for a WMD punch but Joe dodged it and Show punches the steel ring post. He holds his hand and screams in pain. Show turns and walks to the back, getting counted out at 8:21. | 61


- Backstage Apollo Crews is packing his bag in his locker room. He's already changed into a suit. He looks up from his seat and then stands up. Triple H is standing in front of Crews. The two shake hands and Triple H tells Crews that he was really impressed with his debut tonight. Crews thanks Triple H and says it's just the beginning for him. Triple H tells him to keep up the good work and then walks off. Crews smiles and goes back to what he was doing. | 63


- Another shot backstage, this time it's Big Show walking around looking angry. Greg Hamilton asks Big Show what happened. Show screams "What do you think?!? I broke my damn hand!" Suddenly someone is heard yelling from off-screen. Joe enters the picture and spins Show around. Joe yells at Show and calls him a coward. Show tells Joe that he has an important match tomorrow night and he stupidly took this match at Regal's request and now he may not have his match tomorrow. Joe tells Show that he's not going to stop until he gets his chance to beat Show. An angry Show tells Samoa Joe that he's going to have to wait and then sucker punches Joe before walking away. | 72


- Back in the arena Becky Lynch is introduced to a rousing ovation. Bayley gets introduced next and she gets a big pop as well. NXT Womens Champion Sasha Banks is out last and the crowd starts dueling chants for all three women. We get a championship match in-ring introduction for all three women. The bell rings and the match starts slowly with all three women taking turns trying to suplex one another. Eventually Sasha tosses Bayley through the ropes and to the floor. Becky and Sasha battle in the ring with Sasha getting the advantage. She gets Becky in the corner and goes for his double knee spot but Bayley gets back up and climbs onto the apron.

Sasha puts her shin into the back of Becky's head and chokes her for a bit before backing up and charging. Sasha leaps into the air and lands on the back of Becky's head.

WWE SummerSlam
LIVE! from Brooklyn, NY
Sunday -- Week 4 -- August 2015
- The pre-show match was set to begin as Big Show (with a cast on his hand), King Barrett, and Cesaro were standing in the ring. Suddenly Samoa Joe's music hit and Joe came out with a microphone and advised Big Show that he was here to finish what Show started last night. Big Show told Joe he wasn't welcome but Joe explained that he was added to the match and walks to the ring. The bell rings and all four men brawl before the dust settles and Joe is fighting with King Barrett. The match goes on with many near falls for about 10 minutes when Joe hits Cesaro with an enziguiri that knocks him to the outside. Joe clotheslines Show to the outside and then hits a Muscle Buster on Barrett for the pinfall at 12:28 | Samoa Joe by pinfall - 70
- The show opens with a highlight video and then the SummerSlam intro video featuring the old school SummerSlam theme music. After the video we get fireworks inside the arena and then Michael Cole welcomes us to the show and provides a brief rundown of our main events. | 81
- Tag Team Turmoil kicks off the show. The New Day, Kofi & Big E start it off with Los Matadores. Big E and Kofi make quick work of the Matadores after Big E hits the Big E on Diego. New Day awaits their next opponents and suddenly "BROOKLYN, BROOKLYN!" comes out of the speakers and the crowd pops as CRYME TYME comes out. Shad and JTG get in the ring and immediately go after The New Day. They take control but JTG misses a missile dropkick and that's the end of Cryme Tyme as Kofi hits the Trouble In Paradise and pins him. Next up is The Ascension. The Ascension beat up the New Day pretty bad. Kofi bumps all over the ring for their offense and can't get the hot tag to Big E. Eventually Konnor misses a clothesline and Kofi makes the tag. Big E is on fire and a powerslam on Konnor followed by a flying legdrop from the top rope by Kofi leads to the Ascension being pinned. The final team is the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Prime Time Players. They come down to the ring and immediately take the New Day to school. Titus runs roughshod over both Big E and Kofi. Eventually things settle down and we get a standard tag match until Titus hits a sit-out powerbomb on Kofi but Xavier Woods distracts the official.

- Backstage Renee Young is standing by with Paul Heyman. Heyman cuts a promo about his client, Brock Lesnar. Heyman says that Lesnar is a monster and that he will destroy Cena and and Owens tonight. | 81
- Renee sends us over to Tom Philips who reports that Roman Reigns still has not shown up. This time Dean is willing to talk. Dean comes out of his dressing room and tells Tom that he's been calling Roman all day with no answer. He says that he's worried about his friend but if Roman doesn't show up, Dean will just kick some Wyatt ass by himself. Suddenly Seth Rollins enters the picture to a big pop. Seth tells Dean that he has his back tonight. Dean tells him not to worry because he has an important match but Seth insists that he'll be there if Dean needs him. | 84
- Rusev & Summer Rae are introduced first. Then Ziggler and Lana. The match begins with the men but the crowd chants for the women so the men tag out.

- John Cena cuts a promo in the back. He guarantees victory. | 87
- After the Cena promo Sheamus' music starts and he comes down to the ring. Randy Orton is introduced and he gets a huge pop. Their match is nothing special but it's still very good. They do a standard brawl around the ring and into the crowd. Sheamus drops Orton with a chair to the back and then tries to hit the Irish Curse in the crowd but Orton fights out of it.

Orton goes to the ring apron and pulls Sheamus to the apron with him and RKOs him off the apron and pins him on the outside at 16:17. | Orton by pinfall - 76
- Up next is the Mask Vs. Mask match. Both men are introduced to little reaction but Kalisto definitely has the stronger of the two. Short match with not a lot to spotlight. Nothing offensive, just not a lot there. It felt like they cut some time from this one because they seemed to rush through the story. Sin Cara kept trying to rip Kalisto's mask off. Kalisto fought it off every time. Eventually both men got to the top rope and Sin Cara tried one more time but it allowed Kalisto to hit the Salida del Sol from the top rope for the pinfall at 6:12. After the match Sin Cara was unmasked and since he didn't have the mustache and goatee like last time, the announcers didn't pretend like he was Hunico so apparently he's getting a new gimmick. | Kalisto by pinfall - 59
- The Miz Vs. Ryback is up next. On his way to the ring, Ryback had to stop and let security take down a fan who jumped the guard rail and tried to get Ryback to give him a high five. Ryback ignored him and continued on, with the announcers mentioning how focused he looked. The match was actually decent. Ryback worked really stiff and it legit looked like he was trying to hurt Miz. Maybe he was. Miz played the role of chickenshit heel to perfection, doing his best to avoid Ryback at all costs. At one point they were outside and Miz thumbed Ryback in the eye. Back in the ring a couple minutes later Ryback held his eye again and the referee made the ringside physician come check the eye. The doctor said Ryback was good to go and before he could do anything else Miz dove at Ryback's knee and clipped him. Ryback sold the knee for the remaining minutes of the match that saw Miz lock Ryback in the Figure Four. Ryback powered out of it and went for the Meathook clothesline but his knee gave out. Miz capitalized and hit the Skull Crushing Finale for the win at 8:11. | Miz by pinfall - 63
- After a brief commercial for September's Night Of Champions event the lights in the arena go out and the Wyatts are introduced. Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper stand in the ring as Dean Ambrose's music plays. He comes down to the ring and waits outside for his partner. Roman's music plays but he doesn't come out. Dean gets in the ring and fights by himself. They basically lay a beating on Dean for a couple minutes. Dean is desperate for a hot tag and has no one when suddenly Seth Rollins comes running down to the ring. Seth gets on the apron and gets the tag from Dean. Seth cleans house and then Triple H comes down to the ring in his gear. He is heard telling Michael Cole that his match is next and he wants to start it right away to preserve time. Triple H distracts Seth at one point and the Wyatt Family starts to attack Seth and Dean and get the upper hand again. Bray hits the Sister Abigail on Dean while Luke Harper holds Seth down. Bray pins Dean for the win at 14:21 and then continues to assault Dean. Seth finally breaks free and checks on his friend only to get jumped by the Wyatts too. A Sister Abigail and a discus lariat later and Seth is laid out as Dean rolls to the outside. | Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper by pinfall - 74
- Triple H gets in the ring and calls for the bell to be rung. He picks Seth up and pedigrees him twice. But he's not done. He goes to the outside and grabs the sledgehammer from under the ring. He climbs in the ring and the referee tries to stop him but he threatens to fire the official. Seth gets a low blow. Seth picks up the sledgehammer and goes to fight back when there's a commotion in the crowd. It's Roman Reigns! He's FINALLY here and he makes his way down to the ring. During the entrance Seth is distracted and Triple H low blows him and picks the sledgehammer up. Triple H is about to crack Seth in the skull with it when Roman gets in the ring and gets in The Game's face. He snatches the sledgehammer from Triple H's hands and then turns and smashes Seth in the stomach with it. Another shot, this time to the face, for good measure and Roman shakes hands with Triple H! The crowd boos and Triple H covers Seth for the pinfall victory at an official match time for 5:38. | Triple H by pinfall - 81
- Dean climbs back into the ring to try and get a piece of Roman too but Roman spears him and Triple H holds Dean up while Roman hits the Superman Punch. They leave both Dean and Seth laid out in the ring. | 85
- A Paige/Natalya/Bellas vignette airs to give the fans a quick break from the previous segment. After it ends the Bellas are introduced followed by Paige and Natalya. If either Paige or Natalya gets the deciding fall in the match then they earn a Divas Championship Match is the clarification on the rules that we get prior to the match. The match is nothing special but it gets almost 8 minutes. Natalya plays the Ricky Morton role and gets the hot tag to Paige. Paige cleans house but eventually Twin Magic wins out and Brie rolls Paige up in a small package for the pinfall at 7:39 | Nikki & Brie Bella by pinfall - 61
- One final vignette before the main event. This time highlighting the careers of all three men in the match. | 88
- John Cena is introduced first, then United States Champion Kevin Owens, and then WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. After the big fight introductions the match begins and Kevin Owens bails immediately. He lets Lesnar and Cena fight for a while before getting back into the ring and attacking Lesnar from behind.

From WrestlingPlayground.com...

 

- Coming out of SummerSlam, the WWE roster seems to be pretty healthy. No major injuries were reported following the event.

 

- Expect a few NXT superstars to be called up to the main roster either on the first Raw after SummerSlam or in the weeks following. The plan right now is to have at least four NXT talents on the main roster by Night Of Champions.

 

- WWE has recently signed a new batch of indy talent to developmental contracts. They will be reporting to the Performance Center some time this month if they haven't already. Confirmed names so far include Allysin Kay, ACH, Tomasso Ciampa, Marshall and Ross Von Erich, Mike Bennett, and Tessa Blanchard.

 

- Jerry "the King" Lawler has told WWE officials that he plans to retire from active duty as an announcer at the end of the month. There is no word yet on who will be replacing him on SmackDown! but it is assumed it will be Corey Graves.

 

- The Undertaker's return at SummerSlam was apparently a part of the plan since before Battleground. Word is he will be returning to at least semi-active competition as a way to draw more subscribers to the WWE Network.

I haven't posted in this section in a really long time but I just wanted to say that this diary is really enjoyable and fun, you're a great writer! Your style is indeed refreshing and very easy to keep up with. Really liking some of the storylines you've got going on...Paige temporarily joining the Bellas was interesting, to say the least xD I guess you're gonna debut the NXT girls in a different way then? Hope you have something big in store for them and for the division in general.

 

I felt that Seth's face turn was somewhat underwhelming and the Shield reunion happened way too fast imo, but I guess that's over now that Roman turned heel, nice swerve btw, was not expecting it at all!

 

Loving Owens as US champion, hope he feuds with Cesaro sooner rather than later instead of only having a one off match.

 

Cryme Tyme participating in the tag team match was also a shocker, was actually hoping they would come out the winners tbh! New Day winning is fine by me tho, they're extremely entertaining...hope Cryme Tyme's return was permanent, a feud between those two teams would be money!

 

Too bad that you decided to split up the Lucha Dragons, they were an excellent tag team...anyway, hopefully Kalisto can amount to some sucess.

 

Looking forward to the future shows, keep up the great work! I'll definitely be reading ;)

WWE Raw

LIVE! from Brooklyn, NY

Monday -- Week 1 -- September 2015


STILL THE CONQUEROR

After a brief SummerSlam recap video the show opens with Paul Heyman already in the ring. Lesnar's music hits and he comes down to the ring as well. Brock wants the Undertaker. Heyman says Brock won't leave until he gets what he wants. Before we get the Undertaker, Triple H comes out and tells Brock that he has some news for him. At Night of Champions, Brock will be defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a six-man Championship Scramble match. Triple H says that Kane and Brock are automatically qualified for the match and that over the next weeks we'll get some qualifying matches. Heyman says he doesn't care...he just wants the Undertaker. Triple H says Taker isn't here and isn't scheduled to be. Heyman says that was the wrong answer and Brock goes to the outside and grab the steel steps. He throws them into the ring but before he can do anything else Triple H waves and security comes running. Security and police officers surround the ring and Triple H tells Brock that he has a choice. He can comply and leave the ring or Triple H will have him removed from the building. Brock laughs and climbs up onto the steps and folds his arms. The cops and security guards hit the ring and Brock starts fighting them. Heyman tries to reason with him. Eventually Brock is maced and hit with a taser. He barely complies but is incapacitated just enough that he can be handcuffed. But before they take Brock out of the ring the lights go out. They come back on and Undertaker is in the ring. The cops and security guards bail. Undertaker kicks Brock in the groin and then when Brock hits his knees Taker starts punching and kicking him. Heyman tries to make the save and eats a chokeslam. Taker picks Brock up and Tombstones him. Taker puts his arm in the air and makes a fist. The lights go out and when they come back on Lesnar and Heyman are laid out, and Lesnar is bleeding. Undertaker is nowhere to be found. The announcers say they have no idea what's going on as we go to commercial. | 92

BROCK LEAVES

We get a quick recap of the opening segment and then backstage we see Brock Lesnar being escorted from the building. Paul Heyman is pleading with the police not to arrest Brock because he didn't "realize they were real police. He thought they were wrestlers paid to be extra security." Which doesn't really make it any better but Heyman is a sleazy agent who will say whatever he can to help his client. Apparently Heyman's pleading works and they agree to not arrest Brock if he just leaves. Brock keeps screaming for Undertaker as they escort him from the building. | 88


KALISTO VS. KING BARRETT

Barrett is already in the ring. Kalisto is introduced and has a new entrance with new music, and pyro so it's obvious he's getting a push. The match begins and the two have pretty good chemistry. Kalisto bumps all over for Barrett's power offense. Barrett goes for the Bullhammer at one point and Kalisto ducks. He manages to hit Barrett with the Salida del Sol and then covers him for the win.

WINNER: Kalisto by pinfall at 6:19 | 62


NEW DAY LOVES A PARADE

Backstage The New Day is quite literally parading around the backstage area. Xavier Woods is playing the trombone and Big E is wearing a drum major outfit complete with jacket and tailes, baton, and hat with plumage. He has his regular gear on underneath. Kofi is excited and skipping around. They get to a large "Staging Area" (written on a sign taped to the wall) and the camera pans over to see that New Day has hired an entire parade in celebration. There's a marching band, "THE SHRINERS!" exclaims Kofi, and some gymnasts. Xavier yells for everyone to get in their place...the New Day Celebration is next. | 68

CELEBRATE NEW CHAMPS, COME ON!

The New Day's music hits and the lights go out. A spotlight comes on the stage as Big E comes out and begins to lead the parade. The lights come back up and Big E, Kofi, and Xavier Woods lead a parade. Confetti rains from the ceiling. The parade marches down the ramp and around the ring. The New Day gets in the ring and they each get a microphone. They talk about being champions because they stayed positive. They talk about dispatching every team in WWE, including CRYME TYME. Big E tries to lead a "NEW. DAY ROCKS!" chant and it works. They're excited at the prospect of being tag team champions, says Kofi. But when they go to WWE.COM and look at the roster they don't see any tag teams who can challenge them. Big E promises to reign as tag team champions "FOR. EV. ER." the crowd pops for the Sandlot reference when suddenly some music familiar to those who watch NXT is heard. The crowd goes insane as the TitanTron lights up with the words "HOW YOU DOIN'?" Making their main roster debut, Enzo Amore and "Big Cass" Colin Cassady come out onto the stage. Carmella joins them as well. Enzo and Cass already have microphones. Enzo introduces himself and his compadres and the crowd eats it up, chanting along with Enzo at the appropriate spots. Big Cass gets his "S-A-W-F-T SAAAAAAWWWWFFFFFFTTTT" line in and the crowd begins chanting "How You Doin' *clap clap clapclapclap*" Xavier thanks Enzo for introducing everyone because New Day had no idea who they were. He asks Enzo what they want. Enzo says he just wanted to let the New Day know that they weren't going to be the champions for long. Enzo says that anybody can beat a bunch of jabrones, but if The New Day want to prove that they're hot stuff they should step to Enzo and Big Cass. Big E makes a joke about how where ever Enzo comes from apparently subscribes to the idea that "Proper English...You Can't Teach That!" Enzo and Cass get in the ring and Xavier curses them for ruining their parade. The New Day attacks but Enzo and Big Cass get the upperhand and the New Day bails. The segment ends with Enzo and Big Cass leading the chant in a "S-A-W-F-T" and "How You Doin'?" chants. | 70

Joe mentions that last night on the SummerSlam pre-show, Joe was added to the #1 contenders match, and he won. So Joe gets a shot at Owens' United States Championship. And Joe says he's elected to take that opportunity at Night Of Champions. Owens is incredulous and shakes his head no. He turns to leave and Joe taps him on the shoulder.

He can't be bought an if this is Stephanie's attempt to placate Dean, it won't happen. Stephanie tells Dean to relax and that she's not trying to do that. She simply has an announcement regarding Dean's future. Tonight it will be Dean vs. Sheamus and the winner will enter the Championship Scramble match at Night Of Champions. Ambrose is happy for that but still wants a piece of Reigns and Stephanie just shrugs. | 76

MAIN EVENT: WINNER GETS A SPOT IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP SCRAMBLE MATCH -- DEAN AMBROSE VS. SHEAMUS

Pretty good for a tv main event. These two have pretty good chemistry. Sheamus works over Dean's back early. Dean fights back and gets some momentum. He goes up to the top rope and leaps off for a flying crossbody but Sheamus ducks. Sheamus hits the Brogue Kick but Dean kicks out. The match continues with both men getting in some offense. All of Sheamus' moves look devastating with Dean selling them. Sheamus whips Dean into the corner and follows him for a clothesline but Dean dives out of the way.

ROMAN EXPLAINS

Roman gets a microphone and tells the fans to shut up when they start chanting "Roman Sucks!" Roman calls out Triple H who comes down to the ring, stopping to survey the damage and laughs at Seth and Dean both being laid out. Roman says that everyone wants to know why he aligned himself with Triple H. The answer is simple...why wouldn't he? He was presented an opportunity. An opportunity not every gets. Triple H has promised Roman the ability to be the face of WWE for decades. Reigns says that he tried to get there on his on. He thought he didn't need Triple H. He thought he could do it with his "brothers" Dean and Seth. But at some point he realized that they are losers. So, like Seth did before him, Roman "bought in." And he says that it was the absolute right move. Triple H takes the mic and tells the WWE Universe to stand and applaud for the future face of WWE --- Roman Reigns!!! They boo hard. Sheamus climbs in the ring and the crowd pops for a potential confrontation between the two men but Sheamus simply extends his hand to Triple H and they shake. Sheamus and Reigns shake hands too and all three men stand in the ring basking in the heel heat as the show goes off the air. | 80

SHEAMUS WANTS HIS BRIEFCASE

Sheamus comes to the ring. He's pissed off that Seth has his briefcase. He calls out Seth and Seth responds via the big screen. Seth responds on the big screen. He's standing on the observation deck on the Space Needle. He says that if Sheamus wants the briefcase he can come and get it off of him. Seth says he won't just GIVE the Sheamus the briefcase, but he can have Sheamus earn it. In fact, Seth has an idea. He says that Triple H wants Seth to be unable to hold the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. So Seth says that if Sheamus agrees to a match at Night of Champions, Seth will sign a contract saying he will never get another shot at the WWE WH Title. But if Seth wins...he gets to keep the briefcase and use it. Sheamus is pissed off and suggests that instead of a match, he should just meet Seth in an alley and kick his teeth down his throat. Seth humorously says no to that but says he will come to the arena later to get Sheamus' answer face-to-face. | 78

KALISTO VS. FANDANGO
Kalisto picks up a win in a pretty good match. The story here is that The Miz is on commentary and Hunico is his "personal photographer" who doesn't take any pictures.

Samoa Joe's pick ends up being Dolph Ziggler, to the surprise of no one. Ziggler and Owens have a really good match that gets a lot of time.

A frustrated Owens drops Ziggler to his knees with a throat chop and then starts to just fire lefts and rights at Ziggler before picking him up and hitting a brainbuster for a near fall. Owens yells at Ziggler to stay down. Owens whips Ziggler into the corner but Ziggler runs up the turnbuckles and hits a flying crossbody for a near fall.

A vignette airs hyping up Dana Brooke ahead of her match with Charlotte tonight. | 55
SAMOA JOE VS. BIG E w/KOFI KINGSTON & XAVIER WOODS
Much to the delight of Kevin Owens this isn't much of a match. Joe and Big E have a pretty good big man match for about three minutes before the referee catches Woods and Kofi trying to cheat. He throws him out but they decide to instead get in the ring and jump Joe which draws a DQ.
WINNER: Sama Joe by disqualification at 3:19 | 66

DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDER TOURNAMENT -- QUARTERFINALS: CHARLOTTE VS. DANA BROOKE
A pretty good, but unspectacular match. Nothing of real note happens but both women tend to look pretty good in the ring. Dana nearly wins with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and then again with a spinebuster. But in the end, Charlotte takes it with the Figure Eight submission.
WINNER: Charlotte by submission at 5:11 | 51

MAIN EVENT: DEAN AMBROSE VS. RANDY ORTON
This match was awesome. It started slow but was given a lot of time and got great toward the end. Both men kept countering one another's finish until they seemingly ran out of ways to counter. From there they wrestled a technical style but when no one could get the upper hand for long. Ambrose threw Orton outside and hit a baseball slide. They brawl a bit on the outside and Orton tries for an RKO onto the steel steps but Ambrose throws Orton into the ring post instead. Ambrose goes for Dirty Deeds on the outside but Orton counters again and this time is able to hit an RKO but Ambrose kicks out on two. Before Orton can plot his next move The Big Show comes down to the ring. Ambrose throws himself out of the ring to attack Big Show but he gets caught and dumped through the announce table with a chokeslam. Orton is standing in the ring watching this unfold when Kane's music starts. Kane comes down to the ring and he chokeslams and then Tombstones Orton.
OFFICIAL DECISION: No Contest at 17:28 | 74
POST-MATCH
After the match is over Kane and Show head to the back and the camera surveys the damage and we see that Dean Ambrose is writhing in pain.
