Show #107: Raw is War Results [8/25/15]

[Stephanie McMahon]

Live from: Cincinnati, Ohio

Clips from last week's Smackdown opens Raw is War by highlighting key moments of the event. We are shown the moment where Seth Rollins brutally attacked Leo Kruger with a steel chair. We are then shown moments leading up to Dean Ambrose scoring another victory in the main event. As the World Heavyweight Champion celebrates his victory, the camera cuts to black as a new video begins to play, as images of what transpired at the end of last week's show are shown. 

Last Week on Smackdown...

he video package comes to a close as we get a shot of the arena. We cut to a ruckus crowd who are all on their feet in anticipation of what's to come tonight on the final show before one of SOOL's biggest events of the year, Summerslam! All of a sudden a familiar chord begins to play as the crowd erupts...

The one and only "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels makes his way through the curtains to a mixed reaction. He struts his way down the ramp as he makes his way into the ring. One may guess that his reason for being here tonight may have something to do with the way Smackdown closed last week. Shawn Michaels steps into the ring and does his signature pose. He requests to be handed a microphone from a ringside attendant as he cues for his music to be cut.

::Shawn Michaels::

Well now, it appears that the Sheriff is back in town! If you thought that **mocking Ambrose's voice** "Lucifer" put me on the shelf for the foreseeable future, clearly you shouldn't be a betting man. I won't lay down, much less stay down for ANNNYYBOOODDDY! In fact, I can assure you all that the Heartbreak Kid is alive and well. So now, getting to the matter at hand, which is why I'm out here tonight. Just in case you've been living under a rock lately and haven't heard the **mockingly utters** "BIG news", Mr. Anderson returned to SOOL last week, after a 1 Year hiatus. I mean the press is literally "scrambling" trying to get this "big headline" somewhere in their pages and it's just a bit more than likely that Anderson is paying for it. So congratulations, you have sure stirred the airwaves with your re-emergence, Oh Great One...and I say that because there are quite a few people around here who for some reason or another idolize you as if you are, **chuckles as he pauses to corrects himself** as if you WERE, something special. Well, I've got news for you, anything you can do...I can do better. I think that is pretty common knowledge, wouldn't you say? In either case, what you and company need to understand is that whether I appear on air tonight or not, which I have so graciously decided to do out of the kindness of my heart, not only do I make more money than everyboddddy, but I have the ability and more importantly, the authority to rule this company with an iron fist any way I see fit. So number one, NEVER forget that! Number two, Anderson, you are only as relevant to this company as I choose to make you and that same saying applies to everyone on the roster. Without ME...there would be no YOU! 

::Shawn Michaels::

Now then, that leads me into "Act Two" of my little speech. The story is always the same but it's one that has to be spoken because truth be told, it's timeless and only gets more enjoyable to hear the more it's told. I've been with this organization the day these doors first opened. I have accomplished more than all of the superstars of the "current generation" could ever dream about. I have held every single major championship including winning King of the Ring. I have fought talent from EVERY single era this company has ever produced and whether I won or "VERY rarely" lost, and I do stress rarely, one SINGLE name has stood the test of time over all others, after 6 YEARS only ONE MAN is still standing and relevant as ever today and his name is "THE HEARTBREAK KID" SHAWN MICHAELS! I have FACED the best and I have BEATEN the best! I have burned a man alive and I have killed careers! I have put other companies out of business and I have screwed over others for my own benefit and I have done it ALL with "a smile on my face!" No matter what the show may be or whose featured at the event, at the end of the day, the name of Shawn Michaels is something people always remember and carry with them. Soon, the superstars of today, the current era, all of your fires will be extinguished, your times will come, like all of those who came before you...your careers will END, the fame OVER, the spotlight GONE and the things that you did and accomplished FORGOTTEN... but me? No, I will continue to thrive and shine the brightest, LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE! I strive to be the best because in my heart, I know I am! This fire burns always. I will not burn out like all of you eventually will...which leads me to a man who is near his end. 

::Shawn Michaels:: 

Mr. Anderson, last week you issued me a little "challenge" at Summerslam. Consider the invitation, accepted! If you won't show me any respect, I suppose I'll have to beat it out of you. Also, if you don't mind me saying, I happen to overhear a little backstage gossip this past week, so in regards to, "Lucifer" and John, **HBK puts his foot on the bottom rope, grabbing the top rope as he diverts his attention to the entry way pointing in that direction as he begins to shoot** I don't give a rat's ass what you think of me or this match but a little word of advise, "Lucifer" why don't you learn how to use a "mic" properly without butchering the English language all the time...and John, naturally, just like in real life...you should learn how to wrestle because requiring a few lessons would be an understatement. **HBK spits towards the ramp as he circles back to the center of the ring** 

::Shawn Michaels:: 

Now then, as I was saying...at Summerslam, for the first time in SOOL History, Mr. Anderson will take on "The Headliner, The Showstoppa', The Main Event, The Icon of SOOL"...the man who WILL without a doubt kick YOUR ass, yours truly, Shawn Michaels! All YOU need to do now is show up and TRY to prove me wrong! So naturally, like you always do, put that in your pipe and smoke it... See you at Summerslam, BITCH!

HBK's music hits. **HBK throws the microphone to the mat as it lets off a static echo as the intro to Raw is War begins to play** 

Singles Match

Leo Kruger vs Finn Balor

*Kruger walks down quickly to the ring. As if he is ready for this fight, and he quickly gets into the ring. Kruger sits in the corner facing towards the ramp as Balor's theme hits. The arena darkens as the heart beats is signified with the red light. The smoke fills the air quickly as Balor can been seen crawling through the smoke. The fans begin to cheer. Kruger quickly gets out of the ring, and rushes towards the Balor. As Balor stands up is met with a big boot from Kruger. Boos fill the arena as the entrance music is cut and the lights come back on. An evil grin comes across the face the Kruger, and then yells* 

.:Leo Kruger:. 

YOUR NOT BETTER THAN ME! YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS MATCH. 

*Balor comes to a knee. Kruger slaps him across the face.* 

.:Leo Kruger:. 

YOUR NOT BETTER THAN ME! YOUR AREN'T WORTH TO FACE MY GREATNESS. 

*Kruger grabs Balor's head and places it between his legs and than lifts him for a powerbomb on the ramp. Kruger turns back towards the ring, and goes and gets a mic.*

.:Leo Kruger:. 

That isn't competition. He's a little man that thinks he can rumble with a hunter such as myself. Now at Summerslam I am going to scout for competition with the title on around my waist. Seth Rollins you scrawny little bastard you think you can just insert yourself in something you don't belong in without any consequences. This is my fight not yours... Rusev is the man to beat, and I am the man stepping up to the challenge to back what is mine. You took MY title and tainted with YOUR dirty hands, and let that whore you claim hold the title as well. She will come to understand Rusev your nothing but a punk who got lucky at the last Paper View. That doesn't stand a chance at SUMMERSLAM.

Lana walks out on to the stage does a slow catwalk turn and lefts the mic to her mouth. 

Lana: let's get one thing clear you craven wannabe your opinion means nothing to me. Honestly you sit out he running your mouth and crying about being crushed by the superior athlete. Now I'll let you in on something Rusev won't be stop can't be stopped so keep running your mouth it falling on deaf ears. You had a great reign but you met your match in the Bulgarian brute the Crusher of Worlds Rusev. Your not worth mine or Rusev's time so ta ta. 

* Lana begins to walk backstage. Kruger chuckles into the mic at the fact Lana is speaking for a man.* 

.:Leo Kruger:. 

Don't make me laugh you bitch. Your words have no meaning to me here in this fight. You don't belong here Lana. This is a man's fight that isn't a place for a woman. Your place should backstage. So you can revert your eyes when your brute is slayed by the greatest hunter humankind has ever seen. Unlike the Kraven you compare me to at least when I hunt.  

*Kruger smiles* 

.:Leo Kruger:. 

I actually finish the job. Lana remind your brute the hunt is on. I have never failed on the hunt and it won't start NOW! 

*Kruger chuckles and lets the mic from his grip go as we cut to a backstage segment*

*camera cuts to batista walking backstage, as Batista is walking he passes RVD and they bump shoulders, stop then lock eyes and stare at eachother* 

RVD: There a problem? 

Batista: Yeah, stay the hell out of my way, if not then there will be a problem. 

*RVD scoffs and starts to turn around and walk away* 

RVD: Right, sorry Mr. Roid Junk-- 

*Batista doesn't let RVD finish as Batista turns RVD back around, pulls RVD's arm and clotheslines him* 

Batista: Funny now huh!? 

*Batista then stalks and waits for RVD to stand back to his feet and as soon as RVD does Batista kicks RVD in the gut and Batista bombs him through a nearby table with food and snacks all over it covering RVD in it. 

Medics and referees rush to RVD's aid as he is unconscious*

*We come back from commercial break to see Adrian Neville in the ring. With a smile on his face and a mic in hand*

.:Adrian Neville:. 

This Summerslam. The Royal Blood and Daniel Bryan and Sami Zayn go in a match for the tag team titles. This is something I have been fighting for. Sami hit a tender spot last week when he made fun of the homeless. As many of you don't know I lived in my car for a year because the money wasn't there. I was working hard every day just to get to here. I have finally made it here, and this upcoming weekend The Royal Blood goes to war to claim that is rightfully ours. We've been kicking ass and taking names, and Zayn and Bryan will just be other names added to that list because WE ALL KNOW SAMI.... YOU CAN'T WIN THE BIG ONE.

*Zayn comes out with a disgusted look on his face and mic in hand.* 

.:Sami Zayn:. 

If I can't win the big one the how am I holding this? 

*Zayn raises the Tag Team Title.* 

.:Sami Zayn:. 

I earned everything that has come my way, why do you even get a title shot? You weren't ever Champions! If anyone deserves a rematch it'd be that Irish Drunk and the Inbred Hillbilly....I know what you deserve Neville we were friends for years and I know that the only thing you deserve is to go back to living in your filthy car you homeless rat. Sami Zayn is the best thing to happen to SOOL in years and everyone.....Knows it. 

*Sami goes to leave but Neville grabs his shoulder and swings him around. Neville gets in Zayn face and begins to yell* 

.:Adrian Neville:. 

ZAYN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I PINNED YOU!! I AM BETTER THAN YOU! I HAVE EVEN PINNED YOUR TAG TEAM PARTNER.  

*Neville puts his forehead against Zayn's*  

.:Adrian Neville:. 

Don't you remember you weren't the one to finish me? Sami you fail in your biggest moments here in SOOL. Like when you lost your Hardcore title shot a couple months ago. If it wasn't for Daniel Bryan you  

*Points at Zayn*  

.:Adrian Neville:. 

wouldn't be tag team champion.  

*Neville points at the tag team title belt Sami has over his shoulder* 

.:Adrian Neville:. 

So you better thank him for carrying your weight cause like I keep saying Sami you can't win the big one...  

*Neville smirks as Zayn looks really angry*

.:Sami Zayn:.  

I HAVE EARNED EVERYTHING I HAVE MYSELF!!! You don't dictate my life I do! Daniel doesn't carry me like you have to carry that freak Balor! We're walking in Champions and we're walking out Champions!  

*Zayn goes to leave again but stops as he speaks again.* 

.:Sami Zayn:. 

Oh and one more thing... 

*Zayn slaps the taste out of Neville's mouth!* 

*Neville get up and stares at Zayn, Zayn goes to slap him again but Neville ducks him and 

Neville does a spinning gut kick. Zayn huddles over to grab his stomach. Neville kicks Zayn hard in the torso. Zayn regained a standing position begins to notice Neville is running at him. Zayn does thesz press to Neville and begins to unleash a furry of blows to Neville's face. Security begins to run out and down the ramp. They rush into the ring as Neville reverses to put himself on top and begins to throw some punches at Zayn as the security pulls the two men off of each other. Teddy Long comes out looking very angry* 

.:Teddy Long:. 

Hold up just a DAMN minutes playas! We aren't doing this tonight! This is one of the biggest tag team matches that has ever been in SOOL History, and we need to preserve this match. So all the aggression that you two have for each other should be let loose in one of the biggest matches of your careers at SUMMERSLAM! Now break those men up and bring them backstage. 

*Goes to commercial break*

Singles Match

Sting vs Bram

Like a bat out of hell Ambrose comes flying down the ramp with a kendo stick. The ref looks back at Sting due to the crowds reaction of Ambrose appearing. The ref looks back just in time to see Ambrose swing and hit Sting in the stomach with the Kendo stick. Sting bends over and grabs his stomach as Ambrose hooks his arms. Ambrose plants him at the ramp with Dirty Deeds and walks towards the back with a satisfied smile on his ref. The ref has no choice but to restart the count. Neither Sting nor Bram makes it up before ten though. Resulting in a draw.

Singles Match

Bam Bam Bigelow vs Adrian Neville

*Neville comes out with a smile on his face and makes his way to the ring. Neville takes off his hooded cape, and gets into the ring. Neville gets on middle turnbuckle and points at the crowd* 

*without missing a beat Bam Bam runs from behind the curtain runs to the ring. As Neville turns around and is met with a clothesline, and Bam Bam shows off to the SOOL Universe as Neville comes to a knee*

*RAW is WAR returns with Chris Jericho now in the ring ready to begin tonight’s edition of the Highlight Reel. Jericho has a mic in hand as the set is in place and the host begins to address the audience.*

.:Chris Jericho:. 

Welcome everyone to the RAW is Jericho and this is the best damn talk show in all of wrestling, The Highlight Reel! There have been many cheap knock offs and imitations but without a shadow of a doubt, this one is my show and it is head and shoulders above the rest. Now tonight I was debating on having an episode because there isn’t anyone truly worthy of being my guest but there is a situation that I must address and what other platform than the Highlight Reel to do it on. A few weeks back, I was supposed to have Goldberg on the Highlight Reel but some mediocre wannabe host decided to have Goldberg on his show instead. But he learned the hard way that no one steals my guest, my spotlight and this is what happened… If you all may set your eyes on the Jeri-tron 12,000!

*The Jeri-tron begins to roll the footage of Goldberg appearing on Miz Tv instead of the Highlight. As the segment then concluded with Jericho interrupting Miz Tv and after confronting Miz, Miz would then be subsequently nailed with a spear by Goldberg. The clip ends as Jericho begins to talk again.*

.:Chris Jericho:. 

That Jericho knockoff thought he could get one over on me. He thought that he could upstage me but man did he get what he had coming to him. Now last week I wasn’t on Smackdown because I was busy doing promotional work for this year’s SummerSlam. However, guess what happened when I was away? The Miz showed up here and ran his mouth about me. Yeah, way to talk behind my back, which is something Miz always does because he’s a spineless little boy in a man’s world. He’s not even half the man that I am and when he tried to act up, you saw what a man like my next guest did to him. My guest tonight, speared The Miz in half and should have been my rightful guest before MIz stuck his nose in my business, so without any further delay, my guest for this evening is Goldberg!

*Goldberg comes out and he is amped up for tonight as he makes his way down to the ring as he walks into the ring and grabs a microphone off of one of the chairs on set.* 

.:Chris Jericho:. 

This is overdue, but welcome to the Highlight Reel Goldberg, now please have a seat and let’s get this started.

.:Chris Jericho:. 

Goldberg, now I had originally wanted to talk to you about participating inside the Hardcore Championship Elimination Chamber Match at Lockdown as well as your success leading up to that point at you only had a slight few setbacks, even though it failed in comparison to my four hundred and sixty-two days as Intercontinental Champion, but there’s one thing that I just have to shoot at you first. What in the Hell were you thinking? Why did you agree to appear on the Highlight Reel but then actually show up on Miz Tv? We’re you planning on being on both in the same night because I refuse to believe that you would choose that crappy show over the prestigious Highlight Reel.

.:Goldberg:. 

Now Chris, I do respect your legacy that you have with the Intercontinental Championship..BUT records are meant to be broken. And seeing how I blew through the competition to reach for my hardcore title which I failed due to my lack of awareness... I have grown from that experience and I suggest that you stop running your mouth, before I decide to take out everyone again and head straight for the IC Title, snap that record and OWN IT!! 

.:Chris Jericho:. 

Look Goldberg, I know you’ve been in and out of SOOL over the years and this may be your first real stint here in years, so let me throw you some advice. The one thing you absolutely do not want to do in this business is disrespect Chris Jericho! I am the greatest champion in the history of professional wrestling and I have earned the right for each and every other so called superstar to pay me the respect I deserve. You couldn't shut my mouth if you wanted and you couldn't get close to that Intercontinental Championship and my records even if you fought pansies like Miz every week. You just couldn't hack it. You and every other jobber in the back should be thankful that I share this ring with you. I don’t care who it is, whether it’s you, that cracked up Shield, the fat hillbilly, that Japanese prick Hello Kitty-amura, fat fat juggalo, and most importantly that straight to dvd d lister The Miz. You all need to respect… 

*Jericho is cut off by the sound of the Miz’ theme song beginning to play.*

The Miz: Really? Really? Really!? I'm a Jericho knock off! I'm a Hollywood movie star not some crappy rock singer and I'm host of the most must see show in SOOL Miz TV. Don't get me wrong Highlight reel is a must see show too but for much different reason then Miz TV. People tune in to Miz TV to see their favourite superstar get asked the questions no one else will ask, people tune into Highlight reel to see how Chris Jericho will get his ass kick this time. 

*Miz walks into the ring and stands right in front of Chris Jericho*  

The Miz: And yeah Jericho I did talk behind your back last week on Smackdown but that's only because you took a week off and you took a week off to get away from me because I requested to have a match with you. and you refused to show up because ever since you lost that IC title you've been a loser, losing big match after big match and you knew that I would of just added another lost to your record. And you know what I want some payback for you ruining my Miz TV set 2 weeks ago. 

*Miz throws his mic right into the Jeri-tron creating a big hole in the middle breaking the TV* 

.:Chris Jericho:. 

Wow Miz, you must feel good about yourself. Don't worry my people will bill you to replace the Jeritron but that honestly was the worst and best thing you've done tonight. You childishly tossing your mic away is good for me and the rest of these Jerichoholics because we no longer have to hear you run your stupid mouth. However. the bad news is you did exactly what I told baldie there and that was to never disrespect Y-2-J, Chris Jericho! 

*Jericho then steps up to the Miz and gets in his face as he continues to talk.* 

.:Chris Jericho:. 

Now listen here you second rate athlete and token D lister movie cameo actor, if you don't leave my ring then... 

*Just then Jericho is cut off by Goldberg.* 

.:Goldberg:. 

Woo woo woo settle down little one, your not the only who wants to beat the D out of this no name Miz, but I also know Miz is not the only one who wants to close that mouth of yours Jericho and sense it is obvious that I can easily man handle the both of you boys, I suggest a triple threat match... And not just any triple threat match, to insure that there is no foul play of any sort I want the both of you shits in an EXTREME RULES MATCH! So when I spear one I can turn around and Jackhammer the hell out of the other and then I will pin the one of you and walk out saying I beat a D list celebrity and a legendary SOOL IC Champion and left the both of them laid out in a cage!! 

*Goldberg drops the mic and wants to face both men right now. Goldberg looks ready for the fight as Miz has been raring to go with Jericho and Goldberg for weeks now. Miz nods and accepts Goldberg's challenge and it looks like things are about to kick off right now. Just then Jericho takes a step back towards the ropes and raises the microphone up to his mouth and addresses both men.* 

.:Chris Jericho:. 

Hold on, this is the Highlight Reel. Not Miz Tv where the host is spineless and can't maintain order. You both want to fight then do it in the ring in a match not on my show. Here on the Highlight Reel, we do it my way, so you fight when I say fight, you talk when I allow you to speak and you do as I say all day long because I am the best in the World at what I do! You two want a fight with me? The greatest champion of all time? You've got it, but not tonight. Tonight is the Highlight Reel and these parasites here in this third world city, Cincinnati, don't deserve to see anymore from me than I've agreed to give them. So therefore, I will end the Highlight Reel on a high note and make a major announcement that unlike you'll ever see on Miz TV. At SummerSlam, the greatest Champion SOOL has ever seen Chris Jericho will take on, dismantle and beat both Goldberg and The Miz in an Extreme Rules triple threat match. Now Mizzy boy that is how you host and end a true must see show! 

*The Miz is irate as he chases after Jericho. Jericho quickly exits the ring to avoid Miz. Miz doesn't catch Jericho as he now leans on the ropes and is urging Jericho to step back in the ring. Jericho cracks a grin as Miz turns around to face Goldberg. Miz gets in Goldberg's face and the two exchange words until Goldberg facepalms Miz and shoves him down to the mat. However, right after that Jericho had re-entered the ring behind Goldberg as he then turns Goldberg around and instantly plants him with the Codebreaker. Jericho pops up and stands over Goldberg as he removes his jacket and throws it down on top of Goldberg. Just then Miz sneaks up behind Jericho and he then quickly grabs hold of Jericho and plants him face first with the Skull Crushing Finale. Miz gets up and is the last man standing as he is still fired up. Miz begins to mock both Jericho and Goldberg as Miz' music begins to play and RAW fades to a commercial break.*

Non-Title Sinlges Match

United States Champion, Rusev vs Scott Steiner

Rusev's stupid footage didn't work so Rusev def. Scott Steiner

The lights go out as the crowd pops, excited for what comes next. The titantron comes to life as someone lights a lantern. Abigail appears, lighting the lantern and illuminating herself. She looks to the camera, emotionless. 

"He's here." 

She says, then blows out the candle, the music of the Eater of Worlds beginning to play. 

The fireflies hit the airwaves as the lantern appears on stage, the smiling face of Bray Wyatt illuminated by the light. He begins his trip to the ring, walking slowly, taking each step at his own leisure. Somewhere, creeping behind him, is Abigail, hidden in the darkness. The trip to the ring ends with Bray, climbing the steps and entering the ring. He walks to the center of the ring, where his rocking chair has been placed. He walks to it, and takes his seat, handing the lantern to Abigail, exchanging it for a mic. 

{{Bray Wyatt}} 

Can you hear me now?  

He pauses, allowing the crowd to pop. 

{{Bray Wyatt}} 

Can you hear me, my children? Does my voice speak to you yet? Some of you, stay unfiltered, not swayed by the words of the other men who stand around me? The same men, I clash with each and every night. Every single prideful soul that stands in the back, dares to battle me, but never quite sees the bigger picture. Just like tonight. I face Lucifer, who I speak about, far too often. And another. People, won't see Dean for what he truly is, until I take back my throne. His weakness, his decite, and his foulness, will not be shown, until the Holy Grail is taken from him. But Alberto, however. He is a different matter. 

He pauses, smiling, as though reflecting. 

{{Bray Wyatt}} 

It's been some time, hasn't it, old friend? It seemed like just yesterday that we were mere children, fighting over a cup. But now, we stand, me, as new as the day and you, old and broken. What ever happened, to my once foe? You broke, Alberto. You broke as I predicted you would. The moment you climbed the ladder to success, I saw that your fall was on the horizon. Forever creeping up on you. A year ago, I took from you what was rightfully mine and now, tonight, you step into my battle, into my war, in an attempt to rectify yourself. To find redemption and solace on the slippery slope that you now stand on, Alberto. But you won't find it. Now, you're just going to get hurt, taking away whatever is left inside of you. Tonight, I'm going to end what should of been ended long ago, Del Rio. I can't wait to rip what little bit you have left out of you, and show you your own sin, your own pride, and your own ego. Alberto, you're weak. I saw it a long time ago. Now, I get to prove it, once again.

The crowd erupts with a massive pop as the theme of Alberto Del Rio begins to blast throughout the arena. Alberto walks through the curtain and is greeted with a cheerful reaction from the crowd. Del Rio is sporting his black and gold ring gear along with his brand new black, white, and gold "Alberto is Excellence" t shirt (which is now available at shopsool.com for the low price of $29.99!) 

Del Rio stands atop the stage and stares down Bray from a far, it appears as though Alberto already has a mic in hand and raises it to his mouth to speak. 

(Alberto Del Rio) 

Bray....Bray....Bray.... 

(Alberto Del Rio) 

In a year's time you haven't changed one bit perro.....You are still the same delusional, swamp man, weirdo that you have always been. You stand there in the middle of that ring and you say "Alberto, you have broken". You are wrong Bray, and the fact that I am still standing here today proves that I am not broken. You come out here and you try and make everyone believe that you're some kin of world eater, that you're some kind of alien creature that is here to lead us. You try and make us believe that you're a GOD among peasants, well I've got news for you Bray, You're no God and I'm no peasant. 

(Alberto Del Rio) 

You come out here and say that you "saw my fall on the horizon", allow me to educate you on something Mr. Wyatt, when you reach the top of the mountain, there's nowhere to go but down. I reached the top of that mountain FIVE times, more than anyone in the history of this company. On two occasions I've held the prestigious World Heavyweight Championship for over ONE HUNDRED days, NO ONE else has done that. Although I will say, the guy that's been kicking your ass for half a year is well on his way to matching my 100 day title reign accolades, and that guy is Dean Ambrose! 

(Alberto Del Rio) 

Let's be very clear on one thing Bray, the only reason I haven't been the World Title in a year, is because I CHOSE to step away from it for awhile. I chose to allow other guys in the back to have the opportunity to take the ball and run with it. It was time for a change in my career. Which is why I chose to bury the hatchet with Cena and become a team. I'd say it worked out pretty well, we're still good friends who have each others backs, and we managed to climb to the top of the tag team ladder and dethrone The Shield to become SOOL Tag Team Champions of the World. I'm happy with how things have gone over the past year. It's great to see a guy like Dean Ambrose become such a dominant World Champion like I was when I held the gold, but now I've decided it's time to take back what is mine. I'm done WATCHING you and Dean fight over MY CROWN. Alberto Del Rio is coming back for his crown, the World Heavyweight Championship.  

(Alberto Del Rio) 

I came to this decision a few weeks ago and ever since I made it, I've been in the gym training harder then I ever have before. I've stepped up my in ring work immensely and as you may or may not've seen, I've dispatched of my opponents for 2 weeks in a row. I've burned my goal into my brain, and that's to regain the World Heavyweight Championship, and I won't stop until I achieve it, and if you're going to try and get in my way Bray Wyatt, then I hope the Immortal is prepared to meet his maker....... 

Wyatt begins to laugh, standing and walking to the side of the ring looking at the stage. He stares at Del Rio, giggling madly as he always does. 

{{Bray Wyatt}} 

How come you always lie to these people, Del Rio? How come you always fill these people up with false hope just to eventually let them down? How do you lie to yourself as well? I hear your confidence and your pride, but I can see through that, man. I see the inside of you, I see your fears, man. You, Del Rio, fear that your legacy won't be remembered. Time and time again, you'll pop up from obscurity to find yourself trying to convince people that you still have it! But honestly, I don't think you ever had it, did you, Del Rio? Let's look at your past. Let's look at your title reign. You sat atop the mountain, before I ever decided it was my fate to take it from you, for far too long. You beat people, that wouldn't hold a candle to you, and fled every moment that someone who did came to challenge. 

{{Bray Wyatt}} 

You're weak Del Rio and you always have been. You're pathetic, and I've seen that for years. Back when you first climbed the mountain, I saw that you weren't worthy. No one else stood to challenge you. You was a noble among peasants at best while I, I am a king. You think that you deserve the holy grail? The thing that is truly mine? You're foolish. If you want to claim to be my maker, then be my guest. But I must warn you, Del Rio. You don't stand a chance against me. 

(Alberto Del Rio) 

You may claim to be a king Wyatt, but in reality the only thing you're the king of is choking when everything is on the line. You see Bray, the World Heavyweight Championship means EVERYTHING to me. It is the end all be all of this business for me, but for you Bray Wyatt, it is nothing more then an accessory. You claim it is your holy grail, I know that is a load of crap. Championships mean nothing to you Bray Wyatt, you only care about inflicting pain upon others and spreading the cancer you call a "message" to these people. The mind games are your motivation, you love to get inside of people's heads and create chaos within there lives. You're NOT going to do that with me Wyatt. I'm not where I was mentally a few years ago, and that's because today I stand here STRONGER THEN EVER BRAY WYATT! 

(Alberto Del Rio) 

I stand here today ready to climb the mountain once again, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let you get in my way. So here's what's going to happen Bray, I spoke with Shane McMahon at his backstage office earlier this evening. Shane McMahon told me that he wanted to put together the greatest SummerSlam event SOOL has ever seen. He told me that this goal would not be achievable without Alberto Del Rio. So Shane McMahon decided to give me a big time high stakes match not only due to my recent string of wins, but for all my years of service within this company. At SummerSlam Alberto Del Rio will be wrestling in a #1 Contenders Match for the SOOL World Heavyweight Championship!!! 

The crowd lets out a load roar of excitement after hearing that Alberto Del Rio will be once again wrestling in a high stakes match with World Title implications. 

(Alberto Del Rio) 

Shane McMahon even went one step further, he decided to spice things up and has allowed me to choose my opponent in the #1 contenders match. Now originally I was a little worried about the pressure of having to choose my opponent. My goal is to not only be at the top of this industry, but I go out there each and every night and give everything I have to the SOOL Universe because at the end of the day, THEY are MY PEOPLE!!! 

(Alberto Del Rio) 

That being said, I'm going to give the people what they want. At SummerSlam, my opponent in the World Heavyweight Championship #1 Contenders match, will be you BRAY WYATT!!! 

The crowd erupts with a massive cheer as it appears that this longtime rivalry will be re kindled at SummerSlam. 

Bray Wyatt stands in the ring with a smile on his face a mile wide, he drops to his knees, extends his arms, and begins to laugh like a crazy swamp lunatic as he always does. 

(Alberto Del Rio) 

Go ahead Bray, laugh...Laugh as you always do. Just understand one thing, This match is over a year in the making, and no matter what happens at SummerSlam, I will tear you limb from limb. Whether I kick your face off or rip your arm out of it's socket, I can guarantee you one thing, when the bell rings signalling the end of the match, Alberto Del Rio will stand victorious over a broken, battered, and defeated Bray Wyatt. Next Sunday at SummerSlam, the self proclaimed "Immortal King" will be vanquished. Alberto Del Rio will have been the David who beat Goliath, the man of the people who overthrew the king of the worlds, but ultimately Alberto Del Rio will have been the man who slayed the "Eater Of Worlds and his false prophecies once and for all....

(Alberto Del Rio) 

VIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVAAAAAAAAA DEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! 

Del Rio drops the mic and Bray's laughing suddenly comes to a halt, Del Rio stares down Wyatt from the top of the stage for a few seconds before the show fades to black and cuts to a commercial break.

The crowd rises to their feet as the music of Kevin Owens hits the airwaves within the arena. Kevin Owens makes his way through the curtain wearing his usual black "KO" t shirt attire. Owens stops on the stage to shake his neck back and forth and pump himself up before making his way down the ramp. Owens ignores the fans as he approaches the steps, he climbs them and enters the ring. The crowd is literally split 50/50 on whether to cheer or boo Owens, but it's obvious that he doesn't care what the fans think of him. Owens grabs a mic from a ringside technician before speaking. 

(Kevin Owens) 

I've been in this company for a little under a month now, and in that timespan I've taken out this company's golden boy John Cena, and SOOL's resident "Show Off" Dolph Ziggler. Tonight I take out one more unlucky son of a bitch, simply because I feel like it, and because I can. There's only one problem, our resident gm Shane McMahon feels as though it's too dangerous to put me in the ring with anyone going into SummerSlam. So I kindly told him to mind his own GODDAMN business and allow me to come out here and do what I do best, FIGHT. So to anyone back there who feel's like they can hang with K.O., then come on down........ 

Owens drops the mic and cracks his knuckles preparing for a fight, if anyone wants it....

Ryder steps through the curtain much too the crowd's delight as he's clearly excited to be here seizing this opportunity tonight. Ryder sprints down to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. Ryder takes off his t shirt and glasses and is telling Owens he's ready to fight. 

Owens stands in front of Ryder literally laughing Ryder in the face as the ref rings the bell. Ryder surprises Owens with the flurry of punches to the face, Owens shrugs Ryder off momentarily causing Ryder to charge right back at Owens and be met with a Super Kick. Ryder drops like a sack of bricks. Owens lifts Ryder to his feet and pushes him off the ropes, Owens tosses Ryder in the air and drops him with the Pop Up Powerbomb. Owens drops down and hooks the leg as the ref makes the cover.....

(Ref) 

1............2..........3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bell sounds signalling the end of this match as Kevin Owens stands up and is greeted by the ref who raises his hand in victory. Owens shrugs the referee's hand off before exiting the ring and heading up the ramp with a smile on his face the entire way. The show cuts to a commercial break.

Seth Rollins music begins to play, Seth makes his way down to the ring wearing a black suit and in the ring is Michael Cole with a microphone in hand.  

Seth enters the ring through the ropes were he is greeted by Michael Cole who is standing by two chairs the one closet to Seth has a microphone on it, Seth grabs the Microphone and Michael Cole

begins to speak. 

-Michael Cole-  

Seth Rollins I invite you here this evening to see if you would explain your actions from last week after what took place when you shocked the world by pretending to be the Undertaker.  

Seth Rollins looks at Michael Cole with a clueless face and begins to speak.  

-Seth Rollins-   

So let me tell you something I shouldn't have to explain anything I do too anyone not even the Undertaker for that matter or any of these people but.... I will only because I am the Future of this business and I don't care what you people think.  

Michael Cole begins to speak again.  

-Michael Cole-   

So the big question is why did you pretend to be The Undertaker?  

Rollins smiles and begins to speak.  

-Seth Rollins-  

Why not it was a perfect way to mess with you people, we all know The Undertaker is dead, gone and he's never coming back so there is no reason to fear him. 

Michael Cole begins to speak yet again.  

-Michael Cole-  

What if The Undertaker isn't gone?  

-Seth Rollins-   

Michael Cole you worry too much there's nothing to worry about also I have asked and I have received.  

-Michael Cole-  

What do you mean Seth?  

-Seth Rollins-   

Well Michael I have been given the opportunity to fight for The United States Championship at Summerslam in a Triple Threat.  

Just then Seth is interrupted. 

*The arena grows dark as the lights come back on Kruger is squatting at the top of the ramp.*

*Kruger begins walking to the ring with vengeance in his eyes.*

*Rollins looks uneasy as Kruger makes his way to the ring. Kruger has his eyes set on Seth Rollins. At this time as Kruger is getting into the ring Michael Cole rushes out not wanting to get injured by "The True Hunter of SOOL". Kruger circles Rollins looking him up and down and begins to laugh to himself. Rollins gets a little upset.* 

-Seth Rollins- 

What's so damn funny Kruger? 

*Kruger motions over for a mic* 

.:Leo Kruger:. 

I laugh because the idea of thinking you can defeat me little man. I am stronger and faster than you Seth. You think you have what it takes to actually be able to beat me. You have spirit I will give you that but that will only take you so far before your mind begins to tells you to roll over and play dead so the malicious beating can finally stop. There is no way you will come out on top. You can scratch and claw Seth, but it's going to get you no where. I have you scoped out. You have never beaten me Seth, and that isn't gonna start now. 

*Rollins rolls his eyes and appears to be very angry with Kruger has said. Rollins begins to shake his head while looking down at the mat. Kruger runs a full sprint at Rollins and clotheslines him. Rollins shoes go flying right of his feet. Kruger ran past Rollins after nailing a devastating slice. Kruger is now at the turnbuckle grabbing onto the ropes facing the crowd. Kruger lets out a huge roar of a yell as Kruger turns around to face Rollins he is met with a huge super kick from Rusev. Lana gives a smirk to the camera, and yells*

:Lana:. 

RUSEV! CRUUUUUSH!!!

*Rusev gets excited as he rushes over to Kruger's motionless body and stomps once on his back and locks in The Accolade. A bunch of refs come rushing out to break Rusev of his grip around Kruger's neck. Rusev finally releases the hold and is sent out of the ring as the camera fades to a commercial break*

Triple H vs 2015 King of the Ring, Randy Orton vs Edge

Edge looks angry and grabs the mic from the announcer. 

Edge 

I really don't get my shot because this loser got pinned?! Orton I want you at SummerSlam so I can beat your ass for costing me a title shot! 

Edge spits on Randy and walks into the back as Randy looks pissed.

The camera pans backstage where we see Roman Reigns pacing back and forth, holding his Hardcore title. Suddenly Stephanie McMahon walks into view. 

Roman Reigns: 

Where the hell have you been? I've been trying to call you for two weeks and you've given me no response. The hell were you thinking putting MY title on the line against men I already be- 

A lightning fast slap quiets Roman immediately. Roman holds his cheek as he stares at Steph with fury in his eyes. 

Stephanie McMahon: 

That hurt? You angry? Good. I hope you are. Let me tell you something Roman, I didn't choose you to be the guy just for you to revert into a little bitch the moment things get tough. You want to be something? You want to be the man? Well you gotta prove it. You need to take every single challenge head on and prove everyone wrong. Those three men think you won that match by a fluke. Well you need to prove them wrong. 

Roman listens intently as his hand leaves his cheek. 

Roman Reigns: 

Okay fine, I get it. But isn't this something we could have discussed together? You just pulling random decisions and things out of your ass helps neither of us. 

Stephanie McMahon: 

Maybe. But Roman I might nor always be around. Thing are changing and I might not always be in your corner. And on those days when I'm not I expect you to take care of business like normal. Don't falter, don't slack, I expect you to dominate like I know you're capable of. Just like you're about to do right now. 

Roman begins to look around, with irritation in his face. 

Roman Reigns: 

Yeah well I haven't seen Cesaro at all tonight. You think he bailed? 

Stephanie Mcmahon: 

Not just him. JBL too. Haven't seen either of them. Unfortunately for you someone stepped up to take JBL's place. I doubt anyone is gonna do that for you. So tonight, looks like you have a handicap match. And before you even start to complain, you're doing it. You're gonna go out there and kick their ass. Both Goldust AND his mystery partner. I expect nothing less than a win Roman. Don't disappoint me. 

Roman stares at Steph before nodding and heading to the entrance.

2-on-1 Handicap Tag Match

Goldust & TBA vs Hardcore Champion, Roman Reigns

The Cincinnati crowd pops for hometown boy Dean Ambrose as he makes his way down the ramp. Dean slides into the ring, microphone in hand as he addresses the cheering crowd. 

Dean Ambrose: 

The Cincinnati hero returns! Let me tell you it feels good to be back. However my night and homecoming has been a little spoiled. It seems small dogs bark the loudest. Michaels came out here and said some shit no one really paid attention to. So if you fell asleep through it, it went a little like this "Bitching bitching bitching I used to be important. Bitching bitching bitching Dean Ambrose kicked my ass. Bitching bitching bitching CM Punk and I used to stroke each other's dicks. OOPS! I mean...egos. Bitching bitching bitching PLEASE DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME EVERYONE." I know he got some weird boner when he old friend came back to wrassle him but I'm not sure if he knows that no one really cares. He wants all his old butt buddies to return. Punk, Barrett, some guy named Red. But what Michaels can't comprehend is that we've all moved on. And he should. The days of playing favorites and letting his shitty friends run people off is over and he either needs to adapt or get the fuck out and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Dean Ambrose: 

I also heard Del Rio and Fat Wyatt speaking earlier. And hey, they even mentioned me! You two seem to have a mighty big important match coming up to see who's gonna face the winner of the title match after Summerslam. Honestly I want Del Rio to kick Wyatt's teeth down his throat. Wyatt has lost my interest basically. He pull every smoke and mirror trick he wants but it won't change the fact that when he stands in front of me I'll kick his ass every time without fail. And i'd like to take on the five time World champion. But I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be beyond happy to break Bray's face in front of everyone for the title. Decisions Decisions. But tonight I don't have to make one! Cause I get to kick BOTH their asses. And let me tell you I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it!

Suddenly Dean leaves the ring to grab a chair

Dean Ambrose: 

AND POOR STING! Poor Sting. So close to winning his match against Bram. It's too bad. See what talking too much gets you? Sting I'm at every show and I hear everything. Nothing you do can escape my range of hearing. What I did tonight was business. You're gonna stop ME from walking out champ? You? And Bam Bam? HA! You two working together couldn't stop me. An army of juggalos' couldn't stop me. NOBODY CAN STOP LUCIFER! So sit in the back and stew about what I did. And come to Summerslam looking for a fight. Because you can bet your ass I will. Now Wyatt and Del Rio get your ass out here cause I'm ready to fight!

Ambrose takes a seat as he awaits his opponents.
