- Bray Wyatt vs CM Punk on RAW this Monday for the WWE Championship, I can somehow see both Team Committee and Team Uprising interfering in this match ruining Punk/Wyatt before it even gets started or they ruin it somehow with this match ending either in a DQ or in a No Contest

Following the signature WWE intro, we were taken directly to the arena in Atlanta where all hell had already broken loose. RAW was originally set to kick off with a tag team match up between Los Matadores and the Prime Time Players, but Roman Reigns hit the ring and began assaulting all four superstars. After Reigns hit Darren Young with a Superman Punch, he dodged a double Clothesline from Diego and Fernando, proceeding to hit both men with a Spear! Reigns threw Los Matadores out of the ring before taking a microphone, saying that after what happened last Friday on SmackDown, he wasn't going to waste any time here tonight. "John Cena, you get your ass out here right now so I can punch your jaw into pieces smaller than your fans' brains," Reigns stated in an aggressive tone. Seconds later, the entrance music of John Cena as he made his way down to the ring, not taking any time to joke around with the cameraman like normally. Once he has a microphone, Cena tells Reigns that he's been waiting for weeks now to have this opportunity to speak to him face-to-face, man-to-man. "I could blame myself and say that I should have seen this coming, but really, I shouldn't have. Not once did I ever believe that you all of people would turn your back on me and cost me the WWE Championship at King of the Ring. Then, the following night, you tried to get rid of me once and for all by Spearing me into oblivion. I applaud the effort, Roman, but you should have known by now that I don't lay down that easily. For over a decade now, I've had every obstacle thrown in front of me and whenever I was knocked down, I got right back up and made sure that the son of a bitch who tried to take me out learned the hard way who John Cena is. And apparently, you know very well who I am since you made it clear on Piper's Pit that the last thing you want is to be the 'next John Cena.' No, no, no. You want to become the first and only Roman Reigns. I can respect that, but I can't in any way respect how you've gone about proving yourself. Instead of attacks and cheap shots, why don't you step into this ring with the man who has proudly waved the WWE flag since 2002? Here's your shot, Reigns. Make a name for yourself at my expense at SummerSlam in front of millions around the world! I'm begging you!" yelled out a fired up John Cena. Reigns kept his cool, struggling not to go after Cena once again. "..... You want me in this ring at SummerSlam? Your ass is on, and I won't just make a name for myself. I'm gonna make everyone forget yours," Reigns said as he threw the microphone down, leaving the ring while glaring back at Cena. The fight is on! John Cena vs. Roman Reigns in three weeks at SummerSlam!
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION SETH ROLLINS & KEVIN OWENS DEF. WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DANIEL BRYAN & SAMI ZAYN: A massive tag team bout to kick off Monday Night RAW as the WWE main roster and NXT roster were represented. The Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins, and Sami Zayn acted as the legal competitors in the finish of the match, the NXT star nearly getting the victory after a Blue Thunder Bomb. Kevin Owens, however, managed to place Rollins' foot on the bottom rope. The World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, would respond to Owens by hitting him with a few forearms, rocking the big man. Bryan would then attempt to deliver the Busaiku Knee, but Owens tossed him into the air and hit a Pop Up Powerbomb onto the ring apron! The back of Bryan's neck bounced off of the apron as he fell to the floor, almost lifelessly. Back in the ring, Rollins managed to counter a Tornado DDT from Zayn, catapulting him into the corner. Zayn staggered into the center of the ring, falling into place for a Curb Stomp as Rollins covered him to get the victory. Rollins took back the Intercontinental Championship as he and Owens raised each other's arms on the outside, the latter focusing on Bryan rather than celebrating. The official called for the ringside doctor as Daniel Bryan had not moved an inch since receiving the Pop Up Powerbomb onto the apron.
Returning to Monday Night RAW, a recap of the previous match was shown, focusing on the Pop Up Powerbomb from Kevin Owens to Daniel Bryan onto the ring apron. During the commercial break, Bryan was placed onto a stretcher as the WWE Universe gave him a standing ovation on his way out. Cutting to the live feed, Bryan was hurried into an ambulance, Sami Zayn remaining by his side. Bryan's fiancé, Brie Bella, ran to the scene, obviously concerned with his condition. "Is he going to be okay?" she asked, to which Zayn responded with, "Daniel needs you right now. Just go with him and hope for the best." Brie stepped into the ambulance with Bryan as the doors closed, the distraught Zayn looking on while the vehicle drove away.
SIR KENNETH CAMERON W/ WILLIAM REGAL DEF. SANTINO MARELLA: Two weeks into his tenure as a main roster superstar and Sir Kenneth Cameron is already beginning to turn his heads with his aggressive nature. Kenneth continued his path of destruction by putting Santino Marella away with the Impaler DDT. As Kenneth and William Regal stood tall in the ring, the entrance music of Sheamus hit to an overwhelming response. Kenneth and Regal turned their attention to the stage, awaiting the arrival of 'The Celtic Warrior.' However, they should have been looking behind them as Sheamus made his way into the ring through the audience. Regal turned around and was immediately met with a Brogue Kick! Kenneth scurried out of the ring, grinning at the man that he tried to take out on SmackDown last Friday for reasons still unknown. Sheamus stood tall over Regal, vowing that Kenneth would be next.
At this time, the ring was shown decorated for a celebration of Kaitlyn's victory last week in Last Diva Standing II. The entrance music of Stephanie McMahon hit as one of the principal owners of World Wrestling Entertainment made her way down to the ring, along with Sofia Cortez and the reigning Divas Champion, Kaitlyn. Stephanie took a microphone, trying to speak over the rampant boos from the Atlanta crowd. "I wanted to be the first to congratulate Kaitlyn on not only defeating AJ Lee last week, but ensuring that she never steps anywhere near the WWE ever again. Her little girlhood dream has been destroyed and I couldn't be any happier. Kaitlyn, as a sign of gratitude, I had our production team up day and night over these last few days putting this together for you," said Stephanie before directing everyone to the titantron. A special tribute for Kaitlyn was shown, featuring "Brave" by The Nearly Deads. The video concluded with Kaitlyn's victory over AJ last week, the audio of the kendo stick shots during the finish being raised to highlight the punishment. After the completion of the video, Kaitlyn was shown with a wide smile on her face, the audience continuing to heavily boo her. "Like I said, Kaitlyn, I am incredibly proud of you, but there's still one person left for us to get rid of. I'm trusting that you and Sofia will get the job done at SummerSlam against Paige," Stephanie said. Speaking of Paige, the 'Anti-Diva' was right on cue as she made her way out to the stage, the WWE Universe thunderously chanting her name. Paige sarcastically congratulated Kaitlyn on her victory, saying that it's convenient how she managed to retain the Divas Championship on a night where she wasn't even in the arena. "Thanks for throwing me out, by the way, Sofia. As for you, Stephanie, I'm sure that you're just beaming with joy over what you think is going to happen to me at SummerSlam. You throw your two right-hand women against me in a Handicap Match, yet..... I don't think you even know the conditions of that match," said Paige, which only confused Stephanie. "Conditions? The only condition is that you're going to step into this ring against the most dominant female duo in WWE history," answered Stephanie, believing that she was right. "See, that's where I don't think you're grasping everything, Stephanie. Yes, it's me against Kaitlyn and Sofia at SummerSlam, but that may not be all that I'm doing. I don't know if your own father failed to mention this to you, but I was told personally by him that there's a nice little stipulation in place. If I beat Kaitlyn and Sofia, I get another match immediately afterwards....." stated Paige. Stephanie was still full of smiles at that point, not sure what the 'Anti-Diva' was getting at. "So, if you win your match, you're going to compete in another one? How is that any good for you, Paige?" Stephanie asked as she, Kaitlyn and Sofia were all laughing. "How is that good for me? Simple. If I win the Handicap match, then my match right after...... is against you!" Stephanie dropped her microphone as the audience roared with excitement regarding the news. Kaitlyn and Sofia were just as stunned, the pressure on them escalating. If Paige can defeat Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez at SummerSlam, then she will get a match immediately afterwards against the woman who has ferociously attempted to end her career, Stephanie McMahon!
ROB VAN DAM DEF. XAVIER WOODS W/ KOFI KINGSTON: Rob Van Dam's current focus is getting his hands on Kofi Kingston, but for tonight, he would have to settle for the man responsible for Kofi's change in attitude, Xavier Woods. After a failed distraction on the part of Kofi that caused him and Woods to butt heads, Van Dam delivered a Five Star Frog Splash to pick up the win. Van Dam celebrated his victory with the WWE Universe while Kofi assisted Woods out of the ring. "Someday, somewhere, you have to think that we'll see RVD and Kofi finally collide," John Bradshaw Layfield stated on commentary.Backstage, Kevin Owens was shown leaving the arena when Renee Young approached, asking if he could give his thoughts on Daniel Bryan being transported to a medical facility as a result of his Pop Up Powerbomb. "Renee, you and everyone else make it seem like I showed up to RAW intending on hurting Daniel Bryan. All I planned on doing was winning. If putting Daniel Bryan on a stretcher means that I'm putting food on the table for my family, then so be it." Owens tried to walk away, but Renee asked one final question that came from her heart rather than any notes - "Do you even care?" Owens, who was visibly annoyed, simply turned to Renee and responded with, "Not really, if I'm being completely honest."
THE REAL AMERICANS W/ ZEB COLTER DEF. WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ANTONIO CESARO & KASSIUS OHNO W/ PAUL HEYMAN IN A NON-TITLE MATCH: After Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro got themselves intentionally counted out during The Real Americans' WWE Tag Team Championship rematch, this was potentially the final opportunity that Jack Swagger and Shelton Benjamin would receive to earn another title match. Towards the end of the bout, Swagger and Ohno would begin brawling on the outside. 'That Young Knockout Kid' was looking to connect with a Roaring Elbow, but Swagger was able to dodge the strike, lift Ohno off of his feet and slam him down thunderously onto the floor! Back in the ring, Cesaro looked to be in control of things as he threw Benjamin into the air for a Swiss Death Uppercut. On the way down, however, Benjamin was able to counter the Uppercut attempt into the Paydirt, covering Cesaro for the victory! Swagger and Zeb Colter joined Benjamin in the ring, the trio elated with the result as it would likely mean that another WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity is in their future. At ringside, Paul Heyman was surprisingly not bothered by the outcome. In fact, he was laughing to himself. "Congratulations to you three. I'm sure that you gentlemen are looking forward to the possibility of regaining the WWE Tag Team Titles. However, that can only happen if you survive the wrath of this man....." After Heyman's threatening words, the entrance music of Brock Lesnar hit to the surprise of everyone in attendance. The 'Beast Incarnate' made his way down to the ring, Swagger and Benjamin immediately getting Colter to safety. Lesnar slid into the ring as The Real Americans tried to get the upper hand, but Lesnar was able to make short work of them. After delivering a huge German Suplex to Benjamin, Lesnar hoisted Swagger onto this shoulders and planted him with an F-5! The Real Americans were annihilated as Heyman stepped into the ring, applauding his client's actions.
Returning from the commercial break, Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar were shown still in the ring after the latter took out The Real Americans with little effort. Heyman took a microphone, saying that what the world just witnessed was a sample of what is to come at SummerSlam for one, Kurt Angle. "In 20 days, Mr. Angle competes in the final match of his illustrious career. Any single individual walking the face of the earth would be able to tell you that Angle is a guaranteed Hall of Famer. Multiple championships in the WWE to go along with a gold medal that earned in 1996 with a broken neck! Without a doubt, Kurt Angle is the 2nd greatest athlete in WWE history. He will forever be recognized as the 2nd greatest competitor to make the transition from armature wrestling to professional wrestling. In general, Angle could very well be the 2nd greatest wrestler of all-time! However, he is not 1st. That spot belongs to the man standing beside me! The 'Conqueror!' The 'Beast Incarnate!' The man who will ensure that Angle leaves this industry forever after SummerSlam! My client, BROCK! LESNAR! I sincerely hope that going back on your word that you would retire at WrestleMania, Angle, is something that you don't regret in the long run. You could have had the ending to your career that everyone who has ever stepped in between these ropes dreams of. You, Kurt Angle, had the chance to walk away under your own power and say that you accomplished everything that there is to. Now, you're going to be forced out of professional wrestling at SummerSlam in front of millions on Pay-Per-View as well as the WWE Network. Your children may not have the chance to play outside with their father, or bring him to Career Day without all of their classmates laughing at the broken mess that they have to wheel into the room. Whatever Brock Lesnar does to you on August 18th... you have nobody to blame but yourself, Kurt." Heyman placed the microphone down as he and Lesnar left the ring, the latter not saying a single word.
TYSON KIDD DEF. JUSTIN GABRIEL: A battle between two former tag team partners here on RAW. Tyson Kidd made his entrance with Chris Jericho's jacket, which he stole after assaulting 'Y2J' last Monday. After planting Justin Gabriel with a Tiger Driver, Kidd initially attempted to apply the Sharpshooter. However, he gained another idea, locking Gabriel in the Walls of Jericho instead! Gabriel submitted to the maneuver as Kidd released it seconds later, celebrating his victory, much to the audience's dismay. Kidd put Jericho's jacket back on as he headed up the entrance ramp, mocking the taunts of 'Y2J.'
RUSEV W/ LANA DEF. UNITED STATES CHAMPION ADRIAN NEVILLE IN A NON-TITLE MATCH: With Rusev set to take on Alberto Del Rio in an LA Street Fight at SummerSlam, Adrian Neville had the opportunity to make history by knocking off the 'Super Athlete.' The United States Champion came close at several points, getting Rusev against the ropes. Neville charged into Rusev three times, getting tossed over on the final attempt. Rusev, who tweaked his ankle during the bout, fell onto the canvas as the official checked on him. When Neville got to his feet on the outside, Ryback made his way out through the audience, hitting him with a Meathook Clothesline! 'The Big Guy' picked Neville up and rolled him into the ring, evading the scene before the official could see him. With 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' down and out, Rusev applied the Accolade as Neville was deemed unable to continue. Rusev released the hold as Lana joined him in the ring, the two standing tall with the Russian flag draped behind them. "Adrian Neville could have made history by being the first man to pin Rusev, but thanks Ryback, the 'Super Athlete' keeps his undefeated streak alive on his way to SummerSlam," Michael Cole stated.
Backstage, The Uprising were shown walking down a corridor as CM Punk is set to challenge Bray Wyatt for the WWE Championships shortly. The group passed by Sami Zayn, who stopped as he glared at all of them. "On your way to check on Bryan?" Punk asked, to which Zayn said that he was correct. "Give him my best. All of ours, actually," Punk said to Zayn before he and the rest of The Uprising patted the NXT superstar on the shoulder. One of the biggest main events in Monday Night RAW history takes place next as Punk meets Wyatt for the WWE Title!
Returning to Monday Night RAW, it was now time for the massive WWE Championship main event. The entrance music of Triple H hit first as 'The Game' made his way down to ringside, along with four other members of Team Committee. Randy Orton, Batista, Kane and Mr. Money in the Bank, AJ Styles. The five of them stood at ringside, having an invested interest in this match as it could change the landscape of the WarGames bout set for SummerSlam. The signature of The Wyatt Family would then hit as Bray Wyatt was shown on the titantron. "Atlanta... we're here!" said the WWE Champion before blowing out his lantern. Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan all slowly marched down to the ring, Wyatt locking eyes with Hunter while laughing. "Just do your job," were the words that could be heard coming from Triple H to the 'Eater of Worlds.' Harper and Rowan exited the ring as Wyatt stood in a corner, the "CM Punk" chants deafening. Seconds later, "Cult of Personality" hit a thunderous ovation. The 'Best in the World' made his way out to the stage, along with the rest of Team Uprising. Dean Ambrose, Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler and Wrestling Royalty. The six men remained on the stage as Punk already had a microphone in his hands, stating that the poll last week that allowed the WWE Universe to vote on this match was rather interesting. "On one hand, it could be seen as a chance for The Uprising to one-up The Committee before SummerSlam. However, some might also think that it'll do nothing but create tension within this unit. I'm sure that you all down there would love for that to be the case, right?" Punk said to The Committee. "Here's how we all see it, though. This situation isn't about the WWE Championship. This is about doing what is right. You, Triple H, have done nothing but attempt to burn the WWE to the ground. We're going to put a definitive end to that at SummerSlam, which is our one focus. Would any of us love to become WWE Champion? Absolutely. However, now isn't the time for that. With that being said, I won't be challenging for that title tonight." The audience was clearly disappointed and shocked by this declaration from Punk. Bray Wyatt, Triple H, The Committee and The Wyatt Family were all satisfied, however. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get all of you Committee members excited. Just because I won't be competing against Bray Wyatt doesn't mean that there won't be a WWE Championship match...." Punk said as Hunter's smile was wiped away from his face. "The Uprising made the decision a few days ago that no matter who won the poll on the WWE App, we'd present an idea to Vince McMahon. And you know what? He loved it and I think the WWE Universe will, too. There's someone back there who wants to get his hands on Bray Wyatt more than any of us..... and he's about to," said Punk as the crowd came unglued, knowing what was about to come.
"...... You've gotta be kidding me! There's no way! He's not...... he is here! Cody Rhodes is here!"
That was the call from Michael Cole as Cody Rhodes made his way out to the stage along with his wife, Eden. Bray Wyatt's eyes were widened, not believing that the man he delivered five Tombstone Piledrivers to at Payback was standing a few feet away from him. "You're gone, Cody! I ended you!" Wyatt shouted as the entire Committee were outraged. Rhodes removed his hood to show that he still has the scar on his head that was caused by Wyatt. The 'Prince of Pro Wrestling' began to walk down to the ring as The Uprising stood in front of Eden, symbolizing that she'll be protected from Wyatt. What was initially believed to be a title bout between Wyatt and Punk is no more! Rhodes vs. Wyatt for the WWE Championship, next!
CODY RHODES W/ EDEN RHODES & THE UPRISING DEF. BRAY WYATT W/ THE WYATT FAMILY & THE COMMITTEE TO WIN THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP: No more mind games. No more torment. With The Uprising and The Committee at ringside, Bray Wyatt and Cody Rhodes would finally have the one-on-one WWE Title match that should have taken place at Payback. Rhodes, however, had to keep his emotions under control when letting his frustrations out on the WWE Champion. As Rhodes was attempting a Suplex, Wyatt was able to counter it and place him into position for a Tombstone! "No! No, don't do this!" Michael Cole yelled out. Fortunately for Rhodes, he was able to slide out behind Wyatt, delivering Cross Rhodes! He got the cover, but Wyatt managed to kick just barely in time. Rhodes intended on delivering the same maneuver again, but AJ Styles stepped onto the ring. Rhodes struck Styles, which caused The Committee to step onto the ring apron. On the other side, The Uprising did the same, both sides knowing that one move from any of them would result in an all-out war. Triple H was the first to step back down onto the floor, CM Punk and Dean Ambrose doing the same before everyone returned to their original positions. Wyatt got to his feet and charged towards Rhodes, who held the bottom rope down as the WWE Champion fell to the floor. The Committee tried to help Wyatt tot his feet, but Rhodes climbed onto the top turnbuckle, coming down with a Moonsault onto everyone! Rhodes rolled Wyatt back into the ring, hoping that he'd be able to get the win at that point. However, Wyatt caught Rhodes by surprise and planted him with Sister Abigail! Wyatt got the cover, but Rhodes was able to get a shoulder up! Wyatt crawled towards the ropes and began to laugh, waiting for his adversary to stir to his feet. Wyatt charged towards Rhodes, but the 'Prince Pro Wrestling' moved out of the way. Wyatt's chest collided with the turnbuckle as Rhodes rolled him up. Wyatt kicked out, but while he was on his knees, Rhodes delivered repeated headbutts! He placed Wyatt in position for Cross Rhodes, delivering it for a second time! Instead of going for the cover, Rhodes immediately picked Wyatt off of his feet, drilling him with a Piledrver! Rhodes got the cover as the official made the three count that brought the world to its feet!
"He did it! Cody Rhodes is champion!" Michael Cole shouted as all 15,000 fans in attendance broke out in massive cheers. The Uprising entered the ring and helped Rhodes to his feet as he was handed the WWE Championship, slowly taking it as he stared at the gold with tears in his eyes. Rhodes dropped to his knees as Eden approached him, the two hugging. Not only because the 'Prince of Pro Wrestling' had finally acquired the WWE Title, but because they had defeated the man who made their lives hell. On the outside, Triple H and Bray Wyatt were held back by The Committee and The Wyatt Family, both wanting to take out Rhodes and The Uprising right there and then. "Leave it! They'll pay another time! Let's just go!" Kane yelled out at the both of them. Wrestling Royalty stepped out onto the ring apron, daring AJ Styles to cash-in his Money in the Bank briefcase. 'The Phenomenal One' knew better than to walk into a ring full of Uprising members, leaving with The Committee. "Less than half an hour away from this arena, Cody Rhodes grew up in Marietta, Georgia and had a dream of following his family's footsteps! For the last six years, we have seen him grow up into not only the performer that he is today, but the man he's become! World Tag Team Champion! WWE Tag Team Champion! Intercontinental Champion! 2012 King of the Ring! World Heavyweight Champion! And now, he can add the biggest achievement in this industry to his accolades - the WWE Championship! And he did it by defeating the man who could have ended his career, Bray Wyatt! Cody has earned this moment!" Every word from Michael Cole was stated with sincerity and passion as Rhodes held the title up while on the shoulders of Punk and Ambrose. Cody Rhodes is the new WWE Champion!

- What a huge statement made by Roman Reigns, he just lays waste to Los Matadores and The Prime Time Players all by himself single-handedly I mean Roman Reigns obviously is in a bad mood considering John Cena cost him the WWE United States Championship I mean that was Reigns' rematch against Neville and if it hadn't been for Cena's interference on Neville's behalf that Reigns would have won back the WWE United States Championship but Reigns calling Cena out and Cena actually coming out as these 2 are face to face I mean you know the history here Reigns turned heel again by turning on John Cena and costing him the WWE Championship against Bray Wyatt at WWE King of the Ring and then after that he tried to end Cena's career by spearing him into oblivion through the LED equipment on the stage but then Cena returned but this match is bound to happen sooner or later and I am glad that it is happening at SummerSlam at the biggest party of the summer, Reigns vs Cena is pretty much a passing of the torch when you think about it because everyone is already comparing Reigns to Cena in the sense of Reigns being the next Cena but Reigns obviously does not want to be the next Cena even though Reigns has the look he has the charisma the attitude and the wrestling ability but is he truly better than Cena ever was? I guess we will find out at SummerSlam one way or another if Reigns really is the future of this business or if Cena really is not past his prime
- WWE Intercontinental Champion & 2013 King of the Ring winner as well as the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam Seth Rollins teaming up with NXT upstart Kevin Owens to take on the team of the World Heavyweight Champion and Rollins' opponent at SummerSlam Daniel Bryan and NXT upstart Sami Zayn, these 2 feuds simultaneously intertwining in this match but Rollins and Owens going over their respective rivals in this match definitely was the right call I can't even argue with the results here and why? Because not only does it give Zayn and Owens even more of a main roster exposure but at the same time out of the upstarts in NXT right now I would say Zayn and Owens are probably the most main-roster ready in terms of superstars who are ready to jump to the main roster but Owens I mean that Pop Up Powerbomb he hit on Daniel Bryan on the ring apron with Bryan's neck the back of his neck hitting off the ring apron as Bryan fell to the floor I mean not only was that heinous it was sickening to watch almost, I mean Daniel Bryan is probably seriously injured and if he is then I wonder if Bryan will even compete at SummerSlam? Kevin Owens NXT upstart that he is he may have put the World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan on the shelf hell Owens he may have very well ended Daniel Bryan's career I mean that was definitely frightening to watch to say the least and Owens after this I say he needs to be brought up to the main roster definitely now most definitely now but Sami Zayn more or less held his own here in this match but Rollins with even more momentum heading into SummerSlam but will Bryan even be able to compete at SummerSlam? I doubt it especially after that attack, Bryan may even have a broken neck
- Bryan the World Heavyweight Champion being rushed out of here by ambulance that just proves his injury is serious and that he could potentially be put on the shelf for months probably his career could very well be over and it is all due in part to Kevin Owens but if that is the case and Bryan is injured and he can't compete at SummerSlam then the World Heavyweight Championship would have to be vacated with Bryan having to surrender the World Heavyweight Championship but then what happens to Rollins' match at SummerSlam for the World Heavyweight Championship? Unless we end up having a 20-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal to determine who will face Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam with the winner facing Rollins for the vacated title should Bryan not be able to compete at SummerSlam and if he really is injured and on the shelf
- Sir Kenneth winning yet another match this time beating Santino Marella, I mean Sir Kenneth ever since he has burst on to the scene here on the main roster in WWE with his manager/valet William Regal, he has been literally on a roll on a proverbial tear and considering what he did to Sheamus last week I mean Sir Kenneth certainly has made believers out of people not just me but superstars on the roster but then cue Sheamus who comes out Brogue Kick and all as he Brogue Kicks Regal with Kenneth getting out of dodge, I wonder what Kenneth is planning on doing here? Is he trying to unleash Sheamus' vicious streak? If he is then I would say Sir Kenneth whatever he tried to do or is trying to do is working
- Stipulations being added to Paige's 2 on 1 Handicap Match against the WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez of The Committee, I love these stipulations especially the stipulation where if Paige wins this match she not only gets another match but that this other match is against Vince McMahon's own daughter Triple H's wife Stephanie, if Paige vs Stephanie happens then I say that's great because Paige vs Stephanie has been building up for a while now and if it finally comes to a head then I can't wait even though personally I think Paige vs Stephanie McMahon has all the makings of not only a classic match but it is a WrestleMania worthy match that is just my opinion anyway
- RVD getting some retribution on Kofi, it makes sense considering RVD gets his revenge on Kofi for not only turning on him but for turning on him in favor of Xavier Woods and RVD going over here I just have a feeling that this feud of theirs is far from over and that it is only just beginning and if it is then I can see it culminating into another match either on a future RAW, SmackDown or even PPV
- Kevin Owens having no remorse for what he just did to the World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan, wouldn't expect anything less from Kevin Owens because he very well could have put Bryan on the shelf hell he very well could have ended Daniel Bryan's career I mean what an impact Owens made on RAW here considering what he did to Bryan but also that he and Rollins won the match and considering the roll he was on in NXT I think it just may be time for Owens to make that jump over to the main roster, I mean what else is there really for him to do in NXT?
- The Real Americans Swagger & Benjamin beating the WWE Tag Team Champions Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro Paul Heyman's clients I thought that this was a title match but it seems it wasn't but rather it was a non title match but nevertheless this should at least entitle The Real Americans to a rematch for the WWE Tag Team Championships but of course Heyman making a stipulation that if they can get past a certain someone then they will have their match but the certain someone is none other than The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar with Lesnar returning here and destroying both Swagger and Benjamin laying waste to them, I just hope Kurt Angle was watching this because if he is then that is what he has to deal with at SummerSlam in his last ever match in a WWE ring
- But still after this promo set by Heyman it pretty much further builds Lesnar/Angle for SummerSlam and not to mention what Brock just did I mean Angle I can see him cutting a promo of his own either next week on RAW or cutting a promo on Smackdown this Thursday but either way this match will definitely be a classic, the one that will probably steal the show more than most on this SummerSlam card
- Tyson Kidd beating Justin Gabriel, I would say he made quick work of Gabriel and considering what Kidd did to his ex-wife Natalya at Payback and then what he did to Jericho I mean no one has seen or heard from Chris Jericho since Kidd attacked him and then stole his flashing jacket I mean Kidd he has easily become one of your top heels in this diary by far bar none and I can see this eventually leading to Tyson Kidd vs Chris Jericho and if it happens then the match will definitely happen at SummerSlam with their match being added to the SummerSlam card
- Rusev beating the WWE United States Champion Neville, all be it with help from Ryback considering Ryback got involved in this match with Rusev taking full advantage and getting the win I would say that in the record books it will not only show that Rusev is still undefeated but that he pinned the WWE United States Champion which means Rusev could be in line for a future WWE United States Championship match but this further builds up Neville/Ryback and if the match happens it will not only be for the WWE United States Championship but that it will also happen at SummerSlam
- And in the main event instead of Punk facing the WWE Champion Bray Wyatt, Team Uprising including Punk thought of a substitute to take part in this match and face Bray Wyatt for his title someone who wants to get his hands on Bray Wyatt a lot more than they do and the substitute is none other than Cody Rhodes, a shocking return from Cody Rhodes how in the hell is this possible? Cody Rhodes he can't be back here he can't be Bray Wyatt ended him Bray Wyatt not only Tombstone Piledrived Cody once he did it 5 times dumping Cody on his neck, Cody Rhodes I thought he had a broken neck, I think Cody Rhodes he came back much too early he came back too early in my opinion but none of that matters as Cody Rhodes beats Bray Wyatt to become the new WWE Champion in a shocker, WOW, I still can't believe it
- Cody Rhodes the new WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes is not only a former World Heavyweight Champion in your diary he is now WWE Champion on top of already being a former King of the Ring, I bet you Cody's wife Eden she was watching her husband cheering him on as well as Cody's father the American Dream Dusty Rhodes I am sure he must be proud that his son is now WWE Champion and also Cody's brother Goldust he must be proud that his brother is once again a World Champion
- Now Bray Wyatt has lost his most prized possession that being the WWE Championship, I wonder if Bray Wyatt will now be on the warpath? But Bray Wyatt he has his rematch clause he has his rematch for the WWE Championship he is entitled to it considering he just lost the title but Bray Wyatt I can see him turning on Team Committee leaving them to fend for themselves because I am sure he cares more about the title than about being on some team so I can see him leaving Team Committee leaving Team Committee without a 6th member yet again but Cody he sure threw a monkey wrench into everyone's plans especially The Committee's
- But I can see AJ Styles cashing in his briefcase sooner rather than later but on which champion will he choose to cash it in on? The new WWE Champion Cody Rhodes or on the World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan well for the time being considering his injury that he just sustained

Since 1988, the WWE Universe has been treated to what is known as the 'Biggest Party of the Summer,' WWE SummerSlam. Emanating once again from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, the 26th annual event is shaping up to be the biggest to date. Two of sports entertainment's most prestigious championships will be decided in one match. One of the most decorated athletes in WWE history writes the final chapter on his career, and a massive war will finally be settled. The 2013 SummerSlam is upon us!
This means war.Following WrestleMania XXIX, the merger of RAW and SmackDown placed the WWE Chief Operating Officer, Triple H, in charge of both shows. Along with him were Edge and Ric Flair, the former General Managers of SmackDown and RAW respectively, and his wife, Stephanie McMahon. Collectively, the four were known as 'The Committee,' a group that claimed to embody leadership and maintain order in World Wrestling Entertainment. Immediately, the group's true colors were revealed when Triple H made a target out of Dean Ambrose, who believed that he was not allowed a fair rematch for the Intercontinental Championship that he lost at WrestleMania. The WWE Universe immediately took Ambrose's side, only further angering 'The Game.' Edge and Flair were soon give their releases from WWE, allowing Hunter to handpick the members of Committee without any creative interferences. Selected were Kane, Randy Orton, Batista and Derrick Bateman. Triple H would fire Dean Ambrose, which is where the Chairman of the Board, Vince McMahon, decided to step in. Vince allowed Ambrose the opportunity to regain his contract if he could win the King of the Ring tournament. Joining Ambrose in the fight against The Committee were CM Punk, Wade Barrett, Paige, Dolph Ziggler, Joe Hennig and Ted DiBiase. 'The Uprising' was born and the battle lines were drawn. At King of the Ring, the complexion of the war changed dramatically. In a Handicap Steel Cage match, Punk and Barrett managed to defeat Orton, Batista and Bateman to capture the WWE Tag Team Championships, only to be screwed out of them four days later. Dean Ambrose made it to the Finals of the King of the Ring tournament against Seth Rollins, only to be attacked by an unlikely ally of The Committee - AJ Styles. Triple H attempted to sign Styles to a full-time WWE contract, but the occasion was crashed (literally) by Ambrose, who fled the scene with Styles' contract. Things continued to go south for The Committee when Derrick Bateman suffered an injury that forced him to relinquish the Money in the Bank briefcase. Bateman's mouth ultimately got him fired by Vince McMahon, leaving Triple H short a superstar in his faction. Later in the evening, the Chairman attempted to fire both Hunter and Stephanie until The Committee assaulted him, delivering a Triple Powerbomb through the announce table. With the belief that they had nothing else to do, The Committee made a bold move heading into their most important event at the time. The three Uprising members who were inactive for a period of time, Dolph Ziggler and Wrestling Royalty, made their return at Payback, only to be defeated in a Six Man Tag Team match against Orton, Batista and Kane. Later on in the evening, AJ Styles would overcome Dean Ambrose in a Ladder match to not only earn a WWE contract, but claim the Money in the Bank briefcase that was previously held by Derrick Bateman. The following night on RAW, The Uprising showed that while they were knocked down at Payback, they would not stay down. With an opening on the roster after Bateman's termination, Vince McMahon personally reinstated that man who Triple H tried desperately to keep out of the company, Dean Ambrose. Along with that, it was revealed that at SummerSlam, the biggest WarGames match in history would take place. Six Uprising members against six Committee members. If The Uprising win, Triple H will be removed from power. However, if The Committee can win, 'The Game' will take Vince's position as Chairman of the Board, making him immune from any punishment for his actions. Hunter spent the entire evening searching for a sixth member before having only one option presented to him - the then-WWE Champion, Bray Wyatt. Forced to make a deal with the devil due to his desire to win WarGames, Hunter named Wyatt the sixth and final member of Team Committee. It would soon become clear that Wyatt's sole intention for joining the unit was to get inside the head of the man who could end his title reign at any moment with a Money in the Bank cash-in, AJ Styles. Wyatt, however, was focused on the wrong individual. A WWE App poll asked fans to select one member of The Uprising to challenge Wyatt for the WWE Championship on the July 29th edition of RAW. CM Punk was the winner of the poll, but revealed that he would be handing the title shot over to someone who wanted to get his hands on Wyatt more than anyone else - Cody Rhodes. In a shocking turn of events, Rhodes defeated Wyatt to become the new WWE Champion. No longer with the gold, Wyatt was stuck on Team Committee with a new agenda - hurt everyone in his path. Four days later on SmackDown, Dean Ambrose took it upon himself to personally call out 'The Game,' Triple H. No Uprising or Committee members in sight. Just the two of them in the ring at the same time. Ambrose stated that before Hunter and The Committee are stopped once and for all at SummerSlam, he wants the chance to do something that Triple H had done everything in his power to prevent. That being a one-on-one match between the two. Hunter initially declined the match, telling Ambrose that their time for battle would come in WarGames. "We all know what's going to happen if The Committee win at SummerSlam, Triple H. You're going to fire all of us and deprive yourself of the chance to get your hands on the guy who helped create a revolution that escalated this whole situation to a WarGames match. A one-on-one match with no one else around. Prove that you don't need your lapdogs to help you get something done around here!" Ambrose yelled out before Hunter gave in, agreeing to the match for the August 12th edition of RAW, six days before SummerSlam. The two would sign the contract three days later on RAW, their respective teams agreeing to stay out of the bout. That same night, The Wyatt Family defeated Punk, Barrett and Ziggler in a Six Man Tag Team match, while Wrestling Royalty overcame a 3-on-2 situation against the Awesome Entourage. It would become clear that all was far from well within The Committee. Randy Orton and AJ Styles would clash after the former became aggravated with Mr. Money in the Bank constantly reiterating that he is the 'Co-Captain' of Team Committee. Bray Wyatt continued to act as an outsider after Triple H declared that he would NOT be allowed to invoke his rematch clause for the WWE Championship until after SummerSlam, prolonging his chance to get back at Cody Rhodes. Six days before SummerSlam, all members of both teams competed in a series of bouts against each other. AJ Styles defeated CM Punk. Wrestling Royalty defeated Randy Orton and Batista after a failed interference from Styles. Kane defeated Wade Barrett, and Bray Wyatt defeated Dolph Ziggler. In the main event, the long-awaited battle between Triple H and Dean Ambrose took place in a rare television bout for 'The Game.' Towards the conclusion of the match, Ambrose was able to fight out of a Pedigree attempt and plant Hunter with a Midnight Special. The 'Lunatic Fringe' backed into a corner and began to size Triple H up for a Boma Ye, but it was at that moment when Orton, Batista, Kane and Styles hit the ring through the audience. As they were assaulting Ambrose, J&J Security quickly managed to lower the WarGames/Hell in a Cell structure that was hanging above the ring. The structure reached the floor before any of the other Uprising members could get into the ring. They stood on the outside, trying to force their way into the structure while Ambrose was beaten senselessly. Triple H placed Ambrose in position for a Pedigree, turning towards The Uprising while grinning. He planted Ambrose with the maneuver before standing tall with four of his five teammates at SummerSlam. The sixth, however, would soon arrive as the signature of The Wyatt Family hit. When the lights were back on, Wyatt was standing in the ring across from Triple H. The two stared off for a bit, the world uncertain of what would happen. Instead of going after the man who denied him an immediate rematch for the WWE Title, Wyatt picked Ambrose's motionless carcass up from the canvas and threw him to the outside. In front of The Uprising, who were unable to do anything due to being locked outside of the structure, Wyatt delivered a Tombstone Piledriver onto the floor. Wyatt stood over Ambrose while staring at The Uprising, Triple H smiling as he knew that while he and The Committee couldn't trust Wyatt, they could depend on him unleashing hell in the biggest match in SummerSlam history. If Team Committee wins, Triple H will be the new Chairman of the Board. If The Uprising wins, 'The Game' is out of power for good. Regardless of the outcome, the landscape of the WWE is about to change forever in WarGames. One last time.November 14th, 1999. Not only was that the date of the 13th annual Survivor Series, but also the date that professional wrestling's first, and thus far only Olympic Gold Medalist made his debut in a WWE ring. Kurt Angle burst onto the scene and quickly made an impact, capturing the WWE Championship in less than a year from his debut. Angle is recognized as one of the most decorated athletes in WWE history, a multi-time champion and one of the greatest to ever step foot into the squared circle. Choosing to end his career where it started, Angle re-signed with World Wrestling Entertainment in July 2012. After a near-six year absence, the Olympic Gold Medalist was finally home. Setting his sights on the World Heavyweight Championship, Angle was willing to go through any and all lengths to add one more title reign to his already Hall of Fame-worthy resume. Even willing to put his career on the line if he failed to capture the gold at WrestleMania XXIX in a Fatal Four Way with Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes. Ultimately, it was Bryan who came out on top, forcing Angle into retirement. As the Olympic Gold Medalist was delivering his retirement speech five days later on SmackDown, he was interrupted by Brock Lesnar, who viciously assaulted him. Lesnar and his agent, Paul Heyman, sang their own praised for not allowing Angle to retire under his own terms, but forcing him to instead. For months, the WWE Universe was uncertain if they had seen the last of Kurt Angle. However, on the June 20th edition of SmackDown, Angle would make his return and aid Daniel Bryan against Lesnar, Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno and Seth Rollins. Angle later stated that while he did intend on retiring after WrestleMania, he refused to allow the score with Lesnar to go unsettled. Until he got his hands on the 'Beast Incarnate,' he would remain an active member of the WWE roster. With no Lesnar in sight, Angle found a new target in the Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins. The two collided at Payback with Rollins getting the victory after a distraction from Paul Heyman. Angle and Heyman would confront each other the following night on RAW, the stage then being set for the encounter that was ten years in the making. Kurt Angle versus Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, but with one added condition from Heyman - this be the final match of Angle's career. Throughout the weeks leading up to SummerSlam, the WWE Universe heard from Angle and Heyman, the latter speaking on behalf of Lesnar. Heyman made it clear that Angle made the biggest mistake of his career and life by agreeing to a match against the 'Beast Incarnate.' Angle will not be given the luxury of retiring under his own power. Instead, Lesnar will finish the job and make sure that Angle's career doesn't have a happy ending. Angle's response came on the August 5th edition of Monday Night RAW, stating that he knows what he will be getting himself into at SummerSlam, but he isn't afraid of Brock Lesnar. One final match where he 'slays the beast' is all that he needs to finish off his career. "SummerSlam will be the final time the WWE Universe sees me in this ring, but it'll also be Lesnar's final match," Angle stated boldly. Six nights before SummerSlam, Angle and Lesnar finally came face-to-face in the ring on RAW. No words were exchanged between the two, but Paul Heyman attempted to berate the Olympic Gold Medalist. "You won't be leaving the Staples Center this Sunday on your own two feet, Kurt Angle! You'll be carted out of the arena and have to give your eventual Hall of Fame speech while bound to a wheelchair!" Heyman yelled out before Angle finally had enough, grabbing Heyman and delivering the Angle Slam! Lesnar and Angle then came nose-to-nose, both men wanting to go at it right there and then. Instead, Lesnar backed out of the ring, choosing to wait until SummerSlam to unleash his rage. The illustrious career of Kurt Angle comes to an end at SummerSlam when he battles Brock Lesnar. Will the Olympic Gold Medalist cap off his career with one more victory, or will he be "conquered" by the 'Beast Incarnate?' This is my legacy.On the July 29th edition of Monday Night RAW, the WWE Universe was given the chance to vote on which Uprising member they wanted to see challenge Bray Wyatt for the WWE Championship. CM Punk was revealed as the winner, accumulating more votes than Dean Ambrose, Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler, Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig. However, when the time came for the match to take place, Punk revealed that he, The Uprising and Vince McMahon collectively decided that someone else would receive the title opportunity. The man who Bray Wyatt attempted to put out of commission at Payback, Cody Rhodes. In a shocking turn of events, Rhodes managed to defeat Wyatt to capture his first-ever WWE Championship. Rhodes' championship celebration on SmackDown that week was interrupted by Stephanie McMahon, who believed that his reign should not be recognized because her father and The Uprising had no business putting him in a position that the WWE Universe voted CM Punk into. Rhodes, however, knew that Stephanie's issue was simply that the WWE Title was no longer in the camp of Team Committee. "Suddenly, I'm being attacked by two families who have a lot more in common than they'd like to admit. The McMahons and the Wyatts," said Rhodes before Stephanie slapped him, stating that her family and the Wyatts are nothing alike. "Come on, Stephanie. The McMahons and the Wyatts thrive on making life hell for everyone. You target someone and torture them to no end. What you and your husband have done to The Uprising is no different than what Bray Wyatt has done to me and my wife," Rhodes said, making his case. The 'Prince of Pro Wrestling' would then be attacked by Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, leading Stephanie to announcing a Triple Threat match that night for the WWE Championship. Against all odds, Rhodes managed to overcome Harper and Rowan to hold onto the WWE Title. Triple H, who was watching the match from his office, closed SmackDown by announcing that the following week on RAW, Rhodes would compete in a Gauntlet match against AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Batista and Kane. If any of them could defeat him, they would receive a WWE Championship match at SummerSlam. Rhodes was able to get victories over Kane and Batista before going the distance with Styles. Ultimately, the 'Phenomenal One' would intentionally get himself disqualified by striking Rhodes with his Money in the Bank briefcase. With the damage already done to Rhodes, Randy Orton was able to pick up the scraps and deliver an RKO to get the victory and title opportunity. One year after Rhodes and Orton did battle for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, they would do the same for the WWE Championship. Four days later on SmackDown, Randy Orton would kick off the show by making his entrance to The Legacy's theme song, also wearing the faction's shirt. 'The Viper' said that Rhodes doesn't owe his WWE Championship victory to himself, The Uprising or WWE Universe. Without his guidance in The Legacy years ago, Rhodes would have faded into obscurity already. Orton would be interrupted by the third former Legacy member, Ted DiBiase. The Uprising member confronted Orton and said that he and Rhodes went through hell in The Legacy and have since set out to surpass their former mentor. "Cody is WWE Champion. I'm going to be part of the winning team in WarGames. SummerSlam is the night where we prove that YOU were the weak link among the three of us," DiBiase said, to which Orton responded by asking him if he remembered what the fans were saying years ago. "Cody Rhodes was not meant to be the breakout star of Legacy. You were the one who everyone predicted to someday be WWE Champion. A future Hall of Famer. How does it feel to know that Cody has done everything that you were supposed to?" DiBiase would then attack Orton, forcing several officials to separate them. That same night, Orton was forced to team up with another member of Team Committee, Bray Wyatt, to take on Wrestling Royalty. As Orton was getting set to finish off Hennig, Wyatt tagged himself in and planted the son of Mr. Perfect with a Tombstone to get the win. Orton and Wyatt exchanged words following the match, leading to Triple H getting involved. While Hunter and Wyatt were discussing the situation, Orton turned the former WWE Champion around and delivered an RKO! From that point on, the 'Viper' was seemingly shunned away by The Committee, no member other than Triple H on speaking terms with him. RAW six days before SummerSlam kicked off with Orton walking into The Committee's locker room, everyone turned away from him. "So, no one's talking to me? That's fine because after Sunday, you'll all be looking at the new WWE Champion," Orton before AJ Styles picked up his Money in the Bank briefcase, showing it to him before leaving the room. Kane followed Styles as Batista remained in the room, staring at Orton for a bit before also leaving. Later on in the night, Orton and Batista teamed up to take on Wrestling Royalty in a WrestleMania rematch. AJ Styles, who was at ringside, attempted to distract the official, only for Orton to be pushed off of the top rope and onto him. DiBiase planted Batista with Dream Street, securing the victory. Post-match, Orton, Batista and Styles traded words in the ring, Mr. Money in the Bank soon leaving the ring. Orton and Batista had no words for each other before 'The Animal' exited the ring as well. Orton remained by himself until the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, hit the ring through the audience. The two superstars brawled until Rhodes delivered a Disaster Kick on the outside. Rhodes brought Orton onto the announce table, looking to deliver a Piledriver. Orton, however, managed to escape and hurry up the entrance ramp. Rhodes picked up his WWE Championship and raised it in the air as Orton looked on at the gold that he will attempt to claim on Sunday. It's double duty for Randy Orton at SummerSlam. Before he participates in the WarGames match as a member of The Committee, will he be able to cut Cody Rhodes' WWE Championship reign short, or will the 'Prince of Pro Wrestling' deflate his former mentor's ego for the second year in a row at SummerSlam? Title for Title.On April 4th, 2012, the brand new WWE NXT made its debut on ION Television. The Superstars and Divas of the next generation had their own platform to showcase their abilities to the WWE Universe, but none made a bigger impact in such short time than a competitor from Davenport, Iowa by the name of Seth Rollins. Becoming the 'Face of NXT,' Rollins managed to capture the NXT Championship from Damien Sandow in July, lighting up the world of sports entertainment with his reign. A few months later in November, it was announced that Rollins has signed a contract to make the jump from NXT to the main roster. Making his official WWE debut by attacking John Cena at Bragging Rights, Rollins quickly rose to the top of the roster, capturing the Intercontinental Championship from Chris Jericho on the night after WrestleMania XXIX. The previous day in MetLife Stadium, Daniel Bryan overcame Kurt Angle, Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. With Bryan and Rollins now both holding hold in WWE, fans knew that it would only be a matter of time before their paths crossed. What they didn't expect, however, was for Rollins to meet Shawn Michaels before he did Bryan. The Intercontinental Champion brutally assaulted Michaels, taking him out with a Curb Stomp onto the floor. With all of the momentum in the world, Rollins came out on top in the 2013 King of the Ring tournament, earning a championship match at SummerSlam. Rollins wasted no time in announcing to the world that he would be gunning for Bryan's World Heavyweight Title on August 18th. After Bryan was defeated by Bray Wyatt in a Champion vs. Champion match on the June 29th edition of SmackDown, Rollins would attack the World Champion, laying him out with a Curb Stomp onto the announce table. Bryan made his return the night following Payback, which is where the complexion of this SummerSlam match up changed dramatically. No longer would the bout only be for the World Heavyweight Championship. Now, Seth Rollins' Intercontinental Championship will also be up for grabs, making this a Winner Takes All Title for Title match. The match was placed into jeopardy two weeks later when Bryan teamed up with NXT superstar, Sami Zayn, to take on Rollins and another NXT talent, Kevin Owens. During the match, Owens delivered a Pop Up Powerbomb to Bryan onto the ring apron, the World Champion landing on the back of his already concussed head. Bryan's condition was unknown until the August 9th edition of Friday Night SmackDown. In his final televised match, Kurt Angle defeated Seth Rollins in a non-title Payback rematch after Bryan provided a distraction. On RAW six days before SummerSlam, Bryan announced to the WWE Universe that despite recent injuries, he has been cleared to compete at SummerSlam. "Seth Rollins couldn't keep me down and neither could Kevin Owens. I will someday get my revenge against Owens, but right now, my only focus is on taking out Rollins this Sunday. Not just for myself, but for Shawn Michaels as well. Mark my words, Seth. I WILL defeat you this Sunday and become the double champion that you're desperate to add to your resume. What do you think, everyone? Will I become the Intercontinental Champion in six nights at SummerSlam?!" asked Bryan as the audience had only one response - "Yes! Yes! Yes!" One of the biggest matches in SummerSlam history is so close now. The World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, against the Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins. Who will leave the Staples Center with both pieces of gold? Is Cena's time up?Eleven years ago, a competitor by the name of John Cena first stepped onto the scene in WWE, declaring that it would be his "ruthless aggression" that ushered in a new era. For nearly a decade now, Cena has been viewed as the 'face of the WWE.' With every top dog comes the speculation as to who will be the next in line to take his place. In the eyes of many in the WWE Universe, that man is destined to be the 'One Man Army,' Roman Reigns. Reigns, however, did not take kindly to the John Cena comparisons, believing that he is better than Cena ever has and ever will be. As a result, Reigns made a huge statement at King of the Ring by Spearing Cena in the center of the ring, allowing Bray Wyatt to capitalize and take Cena's WWE Championship. After Cena failed to reclaim the gold the next night on RAW, Reigns once again left his mark on the WWE by Spearing Cena through the LED stage. With Cena on the shelf, Reigns, too, would fade away from the center of attention until appearing on Piper's Pit as part of the Payback Kickoff Show. In an act of pure disrespect, Reigns not only attacked Roddy Piper, but Jerry Lawler as well when 'The King' attempted to make the save. After Reigns defeated Lawler the following night on RAW, the 'One Man Army' was caught by surprise when Cena made his return, going right after him. When Cena competed the next week against a young star who stepped up to the plate, Tyler Breeze, he was once again attacked by Reigns. Cena would get even that week on SmackDown by providing a distraction that allowed Adrian Neville to retain his United States Championship against Reigns. Cena and Reigns would meet in the ring days later on RAW, setting the stage for their inevitable SummerSlam encounter. One week later on RAW, a Pick Your Poison series began with Reigns choosing Cena's opponent that evening - Ryback. Cena managed to defeat 'The Big Guy' after an Attitude Adjustment, Reigns simply watching from the stage. Six days before SummerSlam, Cena decided that he wouldn't wait until August 18th to get his hands on Reigns. "I'm allowed to choose anyone on the WWE roster to face you, Roman, and I'm picking myself," Cena said, trying to work around the stipulation. Reigns was irate, but was forced into the ring and allow the match to start. Five seconds in, however, Reigns delivered a low blow to Cena, causing a disqualification. Reigns would then throw Cena out to ringside, hitting a Superman Punch. As officials assisted Cena to his feet, Reigns came running back down to ringside and delivered a Spear through the barricade! Cena remained motionless over the remains of the barricade as Reigns stood tall over him, declaring victory this Sunday. At SummerSlam, Roman Reigns has the opportunity to establish himself as the next 'Face of the WWE.' Is glory in the future of the 'One Man Army,' or will John Cena hinder what Reigns believes is his destiny? One step away.April 22nd, 2013 was the day that Paige spent nearly her entire life dreaming of. The youngest Divas Champion in history walked into her home country of England with the title, having the honor of competing in front of her friends and family. Paige's dream instantly became a nightmare, however, when AJ Lee shocked the world by leveling her with the Divas Championship to capture it. AJ conspired with Kaitlyn and Stephanie McMahon to take the championship off of Paige as the 'Billion Dollar Princess' did not believe that she was worthy of representing the WWE as Divas Champion. The 'Anti-Diva' would invoke her rematch clause at Extreme Rules, challenging AJ to the first-ever Last Diva Standing match. What followed was something that no one in the WWE Universe could have predicted. Thumbtacks, barbed wire, steel chairs, tables. You name it, AJ and Paige brought it into play in the first-ever Divas match to close out a Pay-Per-View. Ultimately, a Spear from Kaitlyn allowed AJ to hold onto the Divas Title, bringing the most shocking match in WWE history to an end. The consequences for what Paige and AJ did would be dire, Stephanie starting off by kicking the latter out of The Committee and naming Kaitlyn the new number one contender. Paige made her return nearly two weeks after Extreme Rules, taking out Stephanie with RamPaige on a live edition of SmackDown. On the June 3rd edition of Monday Night RAW, Paige acted as the voice of the WWE locker room and Universe by standing up to the COO and leader of The Committee, Triple H. Paige's words would lead to her being on the receiving end of a Pedigree, the moment that many believe officially began the war between The Committee and The Uprising. Wanting revenge for what happened to her daughter, Paige's mother, Saraya, hopped over the barricade and entered the ring the following week on RAW. Kaitlyn and Stephanie McMahon proceeded to attack Saraya, the latter smashing a steel chair against her head that was already pressed against the ring post. Paige would strike back six days later at King of the Ring, attacking the two of them before Kaitlyn was set to challenge AJ Lee for the Divas Championship. AJ and Kaitlyn proceeded with their title match, only for Paige to interrupt and attack Kaitlyn again, giving her a disqualification victory. The three Divas were then placed in a Triple Threat title match at Payback, which saw Kaitlyn do the unthinkable by becoming the Divas Champion for the first time in her career. The victory, however, came as a result of interference from a masked woman, who revealed herself as Sofia Cortez. Sofia, who was last seen in 2012 as a member of the NXT roster, stated that it was an injury from the hands of Paige that nearly cost her her career. When the opportunity came to get revenge and join The Committee, she didn't hesitate to accept Stephanie McMahon's offer. On July 22nd, Sofia and Paige collided in an Empty Arena match that was aired exclusively on the WWE Network. There was not a decisive winner, but Sofia looked to have been just that after literally throwing Paige out into the streets of Austin. That same night, Kaitlyn defend the Divas Title against AJ in the second Last Diva Standing match. Two kendo sticks, both of which were sent to Kaitlyn by Derrick Bateman, allowed the 'Hybrid-Diva' to defeat her former best friend in grueling fashion to hold onto her title. With AJ out of the picture, the women of The Committee now only had Paige to worry about. Stacking the deck against her, Stephanie announced that Paige would compete against Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez in a Handicap match at SummerSlam. On the July 29th edition of RAW, Paige revealed a stipulation to the match was put into place by Vince McMahon. If she can defeat Kaitlyn and Sofia, then she will receive a one-on-one match against Stephanie immediately afterwards. Kaitlyn and Sofia competed in several Handicap matches to prepare for SummerSlam, defeating Naomi and Alicia Fox on separate occasions. In a sit-down interview with Michael Cole on August 7th, Paige stated that a match against Stephanie is all that she wants at this point. "Stephanie attacked me. She attacked my mum. None of this will stop unless I get my hands on her. Even if The Uprising can win WarGames, I need Stephanie in a one-on-one match to finally put her away. I need to win at SummerSlam. I just need to." Six days before SummerSlam, Paige competed against The Bella Twins in a Handicap match, defeating them before Kaitlyn and Sofia attacked her. With Stephanie McMahon also in the ring, Paige was held up as the 'Billion Dollar Princess' shouted a few words at her. Paige retaliated by striking Kaitlyn and Sofia with elbows before Dropkicking them out of the ring. Paige was all alone in the ring with Stephanie, but was unable to do anything as Steph was pulled out from underneath the bottom rope by Kaitlyn. Stephanie, Kaitlyn and Sofia headed up the entrance ramp while Paige looked on at them, knowing that she can put all three of her adversaries away in one night. The most important match of Paige's career. If she can manage to defeat Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez, she gets Stephanie McMahon one-on-one immediately after. Can the 'Anti-Diva' extract revenge against the three women who have made her life hell? A fight for honor."Rusev udrya! Rusev machka!" When those words are heard, the WWE Universe immediately knows what, or rather who, is coming. Six feet tall. Three hundred and four pounds. Declared a hero of the Russian Federation. The 'Super Athlete,' Rusev. Never before has Rusev been pinned or made to submit. He's ran roughshod through everyone who has been placed in front of him. Along with his manager, Lana, Rusev has set out to prove that Russia is the most superior nation on the planet. However, when trying to make a point as bold as that, you're bound to rub someone the wrong way. The night after King of the Ring, Rusev defeated an unknown competitor named Prince Puma, who carried Mexico's flag with him. After the match was over, Rusev took the flag and ripped it to pieces. Alberto Del Rio, who is known to be proud of his Hispanic heritage, took great offense to this and called out Rusev for his actions. For the first time since WrestleMania XXIX, Rusev looked vulnerable as Del Rio was able to send him hurrying to the backstage area on a live edition of SmackDown. Attempting to get inside the head of Del Rio, Rusev and Lana would attack his former ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, at an NXT live event. The two superstars were at each other's throats, but did not get the chance to step into the ring against one another until the Battle Royal at Payback for the vacant United States Championship. Del Rio and Rusev eliminated each other just seconds into the bout, but did not stop attempting to punish the other. The next night, Del Rio and Rusev finally had their one-on-one encounter, only for Lana to get involved and strike the 'Mexican Aristocrat' in the back of his head with one of her high heels. Looking to settle the score once and for all, Del Rio issued a challenge to Rusev for an LA Street Fight at SummerSlam. The challenge would be accepted, the two now set to end their rivalry. Rusev spent the two weeks before SummerSlam in Russia, training vigorously for the biggest match of his career thus far. Back in WWE, Del Rio spent his time away from the spotlight as well, but took part in an interview with Michael Cole on Wednesday, August 14th. Del Rio stated that his family wanted to fly out to Los Angeles for SummerSlam, but advised that they stay home. "What I plan on doing to Rusev isn't something that I want my family, especially my kids, to have to watch live. However, I want them to know that I'm doing this for them. For all of Mexico, for that matter. Rusev crossed the line when he ripped up the flag with the colors that run through my blood. Rusev is going to get the beating of his life and his little undefeated streak will come to an end at SummerSlam." No disqualifications. No count outs. Anything goes in an LA Street Fight. Will Rusev continue his undefeated streak, or will Alberto Del Rio gain retribution for his country? I think you and I are destined to do this forever.At NXT TakeOver on May 27th, it was announced by NXT General Manager, Brad Maddox, that the brand would have its first-ever Pay-Per-View match at SummerSlam. While the bout's participants were unknown at the time, the NXT Universe knew who they wanted to see in it. The man who challenged Adam Cole that same night for the NXT Championship, Sami Zayn. After a breathtaking back-and-forth encounter, Zayn managed to defeat Cole and finally become the NXT Champion. Unfortunately for Zayn and the entire world watching, his celebration was cut short by the last man expected to pull such a sunt. Sami Zayn's former best friend and newest NXT signing, Kevin Owens. Owens laid out Zayn with a Pop Up Powerbomb, giving Tyler Breeze the opening to cash-in his Money in the Bank briefcase and become the new NXT Champion, ending Zayn's reign just minutes into it. Owens would later address the NXT Universe, telling his side of the story. Owens believed that Zayn allowed his WWE signing to get to his head, cutting off all ties that he had to anyone who helped him get to this point in his career. Zayn responded by telling the truth, which is that Owens was simply jealous of the fact that he got the call first to head to NXT. Both men wanted nothing more than to get their hands on each other, but a match would not be sanctioned by NXT. At least until it was revealed that the NXT Universe would have the chance to vote on which two superstars compete in the brand's first Pay-Per-View match at SummerSlam. The candidates were the five men who will battle for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: Revision on August 28th. Tyler Breeze, Evan Bourne, Adam Cole, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. At Payback, the results were revealed and we now had confirmation on the NXT match at SummerSlam. Zayn and Owens would finally go one-on-one. The two had the chance to go at it before the big event, competing in a Tag Team match on RAW with the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, and Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins. It was there when Owens planted Bryan with a Pop Up Powerbomb onto the ring apron, hospitalizing him. Two days later on NXT, Owens and Zayn were set to be guests on The Peep Show, hosted by Christian. Zayn, however, was unable to be at the Full Sail Arena as he was by Daniel Bryan's side. Owens appeared on his own, refusing to answer any of Christian's questions. "Maybe you'll answer this question instead, Kevin. You say that you're a family man and you do all of this for your wife and kids, but how do they feel about you putting food on their table by attempting to end the careers of others?" Christian asked, which was enough to get a response out of Owens. "Christian, unless you want to be forced into retirement like your buddy, Edge, I suggest you cut this show off early before I lose my temper," Owens said. As Owens was leaving the ring, he suddenly stopped himself and turned back to Christian. "Actually, nevermind. I'm not sure why I was leaving this ring and allowing you to have it," Owens said, telling 'Captain Charisma' that he needed to be the one to leave. Owens even held the ropes open for Christian, staring at him with his cold eyes. Moving slowly, Christian attempted to exit the ring, but Owens delivered a knee to his mid-section before throwing him out to ringside. "What I did to Daniel Bryan was an accident.... but this isn't," Owens said before delivering a Pop Up Powerbomb onto the ring apron! Just like Bryan, Christian was placed onto a stretcher by the medical staff as Owens watched from the stage. Sami Zayn returned to NXT two weeks later, blaming himself for what happened to Christian. "If I had been there on The Peep Show two weeks ago, Kevin Owens wouldn't have had the chance to put his hands on Christian," he said. Owens made his way down to the ring, meeting Zayn for one final confrontation before SummerSlam. "Don't try to take the blame for what happened to Christian, Sami. Hell, don't even try to do it for Daniel Bryan. They were inn ambulances because of me.... just like what happens to you at SummerSlam will be because of me and only me. August 18th is the day that I've been waiting over a year for now. Finally, I get to put you out of this business forever. You might as well say your goodbyes to everyone here at Full Sail University because trust me. You're not coming back," Owens said before leaving the ring, Zayn choosing to wait until Sunday to retaliate with any physicality. Once best friends, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens are now bitter enemies. Who will come out on top in NXT's first-ever Pay-Per-View match? A lesson in respect.Without a doubt, 2013 has been the breakout year for Tyson Kidd. After failing to capture the Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania XXIX, the WWE Universe saw a change in Kidd's attitude. This change ultimately led to Kidd humiliating his ex-wife, Natlaya, at the their vow renewal ceremony, challenging her to a match at Payback. Kidd would defeat Natalya in their one-on-one contest, injuring her when he refused to release the Sharpshooter that scored him the victory. The following night on RAW, Kidd was a guest on Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel. 'Y2J' would not only chastise Kidd for what he did to Natalya, but challenge him to a match the following week as well. Kidd accepted the challenge, but minutes before they were set to compete, Kidd attacked Jericho backstage. Jericho would remain out of the picture for the next two weeks before making his return on the August 5th edition of RAW, attacking Kidd in a pull apart brawl. Later on in the week, WWE.com revealed that the two would officially have their one-on-one contest during the SummerSlam Kickoff Show. Six days before on RAW, Kidd and Jericho would both gain submission victories over R-Truth and Heath Slater respectively. The two watched each other's matches from the stage, scouting before finally having their much anticipated contest at SummerSlam. Thirty minutes prior to SummerSlam, Chris Jericho and Tyson Kidd will go one-on-one on the Kickoff Show, live on the WWE Network.
OTHER EVENTS - Adrian Neville and Ryback's rivalry over the United States Championship led to a title bout six days before SummerSlam, where the 'Man That Gravity Forgot' was able to overcome the odds and put Ryback away with the Red Arrow. - After earning another opportunity at the WWE Tag Team Championships, The Real Americans battled Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno in a Two-out-of-Three Falls match that main evented SmackDown on August 16th. After a near-thirty minute battle, Cesaro and Kidd were able to secure the victory and hold onto their titles. - Sir Kenneth Cameron and William Regal's assault on Sheamus was explained by the two, stating that they were looking to unleash the true 'Celtic Warrior' that had been missing for some time now. Sheamus responded by not only targeting both men, but challenging Kenneth to a Belfast Brawl six days before SummerSlam. Kenneth was able to get the win over Sheamus after delivering an Impaler DDT onto two seated steel chairs. - The feud between Kofi Kingston and Rob Van Dam came to a conclusion when Kingston defeated RVD on the August 12th edition of Monday Night RAW. In a backstage interview exclusive to WWE.com, Van Dam announced that he would once again be stepping away from sports entertainment for a bit, beginning a hiatus. - NXT Women's Champion, Sasha Banks, and Bayley met in a one-on-one confrontation on the August 7th edition of NXT, the challenger stating that professional wrestling is more than just a career for her. She's living out her dream and plans on fulfilling it at NXT TakeOver: Revision. Sasha responded by berating Bayley, nearly causing her to cry. "You think that these people are laughing with you, but the truth, Bayley, is that they're laughing AT you! No one cares for a little girl who wants to give hugs to everyone she sees! They want a real champion and that can only be me!" Sasha stated before forcing Bayley to leave the ring. As she was heading up the entrance ramp, the audience's "Bayley!" chants caused her to run back into the ring, turning Sasha around and delivering the Belly-to-Bayley Suplex. Bayley picked up the NXT Women's Title and stared at it, determined to capture it at NXT TakeOver: Revision. - Also announced for TakeOver: Revision were Baron Corbin vs. Bo Rotundo in a match with Rotundo's career at stake, and a Tag Team contest pitting Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady against Michael Bennett and Chris Masters.

- WarGames- No doubt that this will probably be the main event that closes out the show this will be the match that goes on last with Team Committee vs Team Uprising, 6 on 6, if Team Uprising wins Triple H is out of power for good but if Team Committee wins Triple H becomes the new Chairman of WWE essentially Vince McMahon is no longer the owner of this company and would have no say in the company at all whatsoever but I just hope I really really really hope that Team Uprising wins and Triple H as well as Team Committee get their comeuppance especially given what they did to Vince but also for what Triple H has done to Ambrose as well as other superstars. The real wild card here in this match is Bray Wyatt I mean Bray Wyatt has to be pissed off at the COO Triple H because I am sure Bray wanted his rematch for the WWE Championship immediately but Triple H basically discarded that and I can't see Bray letting Triple H get away with that so I can see him turning on Team Committee but also another wild card being Orton essentially because everyone is already not talking to Orton and there has been tension between Orton and his teammates so for that reason either The Committee turns their back on Orton or Orton turns on them either way because I am sure Orton thinks that he should be co-captain not AJ Styles.
- WWE Championship- Cody Rhodes (c) vs Randy Orton- This is a SummerSlam 2012 rematch all be it one year later in 2013 here at SummerSlam but instead of the World Heavyweight Championship being on the line the WWE Championship is on the line and it is a role reversal with Cody being the babyface and Orton being the heel in this equation. But as for Cody he became WWE Champion not all that long ago so for that reason I can't see him losing the title so soon after winning it because I can't see him having a transitional title reign as WWE Champion. But then again Orton he hasn't had a WWE or World Heavyweight Championship match in over a year or something like that so something's gotta give. Their history also goes all the way back to Legacy with them and DiBiase but I would say out of the 3 of them the one who has broken out the most would have to be Cody Rhodes hands down. Because Cody in this diary he not only was WWE Intercontinental Champion but he went on to win the 2012 King of the Ring and he became #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship and he beat Orton to become champion for the first time ever in his career. While DiBiase he didn't really break out because DiBiase yes sure he and Hennig had the longest WWE Tag Team Championship reign in history at 377 days but DiBiase he hasn't won singles gold at all, just tag team gold and Orton well his resume I don't even need to get into. But as for Rhodes I say he retains his title against Orton beating Orton at SummerSlam for the second year in a row.
Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar (Angle's Last Match)- This is Angle's last match his final match in a WWE ring and after this he is pretty much calling it a career so with that said could I see Angle winning his last match? I would say yes and I will tell you why? For the simple reason that the last time Angle was in a WWE ring in this diary was WrestleMania 29 where he said that if he lost he would retire and he lost in the World Heavyweight Championship Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match but cue The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar the last time Lesnar was in a WWE ring was Extreme Rules in this diary which he won so for that reason I see Angle going over. But at the same time I can also see Brock going over with Angle giving Brock the rub and why? Because you want to build up Lesnar to be as much of a threat as much of a monster heel as possible and after Brock deals with Angle what is there for Brock to do? Brock Lesnar would simply just set his sights on the WWE Championship because ever since Lesnar returned in this diary he hasn't gone after the title yet and I can see Lesnar doing that right after SummerSlam with Lesnar making his intentions known to whoever the WWE Champion is. I say Angle wins.
Title for Title- World Heavyweight Championship & WWE Intercontinental Championship- Both titles being on the line and Bryan the World Heavyweight Champion putting his title on the line against the 2013 King of the Ring winner and WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, this match I see somehow stealing the show and whoever wins this match will essentially become a double champion. Rollins winning he becomes not only World Heavyweight Champion he also retains his WWE Intercontinental Championship too but if Bryan wins he not only becomes the new WWE Intercontinental Champion he also retains his World Heavyweight Championship in the process. Either way this match equals someone making history. I say Rollins retains his WWE Intercontinental Championship but also becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion.
John Cena vs Roman Reigns- I say Reigns wins this Sunday at SummerSlam and why? Everyone is already saying how Reigns is the next face of the company but also Reigns is a second generation superstar the son of WWE Hall of Famer Sika of the Wild Samoans the nephew of WWE Hall of Famer Afa of the Wild Samoans his cousins being The Usos, The Rock, Rikishi, Umaga, Yokozuna, Tamina Snuka just to name a few he comes from a great wrestling family the Samoan wrestling family the Anoa'i family but also that he is the one that Cena will eventually pass the torch to so for that reason I can see Reigns going over but also at the same time Reigns with a win over Cena it pretty much elevates Roman to main event status and he could really use this win. But at the same time Cena he hasn't won a match on PPV since WrestleMania 29 I think so Cena he is pretty much due for a win but I don't think he gets it here. I say it will be Roman Reigns.
Handicap Match- Paige vs WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez- I say Kaitlyn the WWE Divas Champion and Sofia Cortez will win this Handicap Match and why I say that? I see Stephanie McMahon somehow getting involved in this match costing Paige the match and it somehow turning into a 3 on 1 assault until either a returning AJ Lee makes the save for Paige or another returning diva makes the save for Paige but either way I think you will save Paige vs Stephanie McMahon for WrestleMania 30 in this diary so that is why I say this match Paige vs Stephanie will probably be reserved for Mania and I don't see it happening here at SummerSlam so
Rusev w/Lana vs Del Rio (LA Street Fight)- I think Rusev stays undefeated here with him beating Del Rio but Del Rio coming close as any man has ever come to ending Rusev's undefeated streak but ultimately coming up short but I don't see this being a regular match or even a wrestling clinic I see this being a straight up fight a straight up brawl with weapons being used in this match. Rusev wins by locking Del Rio either in the Accolade or Rusev somehow beating Del Rio with his very own move the Cross Armbreaker.
Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens (NXT Showcase)- Former friends now bitter enemies but as for who goes over here in this match I say Owens will go over here over Zayn with Owens being moved up to the main roster because let's face it Owens he doesn't need NXT anymore at this point while Zayn I would say he needs to be in NXT a little bit longer. Owens while if he is moved up to the main roster just think about the feuds he can have.
SummerSlam Kickoff- Chris Jericho vs Tyson Kidd- Old school vs new school, a battle of the present taking on the future of this business and to be honest Tyson Kidd reminds me a lot of Chris Jericho in some ways but the similarities stop at the fact that Jericho has accomplished a lot more than Tyson Kidd ever has probably ever will but at the same time who goes over in this match. I say Jericho and I will tell you why? Kidd essentially has had the upper hand in this rivalry for far too long and not to mention Jericho when is the last time he has ever won a match in this diary? He is due for a win

It's been a while since I've commented on anything. Now I'm making up for lost time. Considering that SummerSlam is the next show, I think the build/preview would be the best place to start. Let's begin.
Team Uprising vs. Team Committee is definitely going to be the main event. It's the biggest storyline going right now and it will no doubt change the course of the company. This has been really well done thus far. As far as what to expect, I'm not quite sure. You've certainly played on many variables. For example, Randy Orton has been at odds with his fellow Committee members so he may turn on them to allow the Uprising to win. You also have Bray Wyatt and AJ Styles at odds with each other, so that may play a factor. You also have Derrick Bateman, who may make a surprise appearance. I would say the Uprising has to win. If they lose, they're gone. Not to mention, I can't imagine Vince McMahon being taken out of power for good. I think the Committee can lose and there can be some loophole that would allow Triple H to come back in some way. But that's just me. Next up, Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. I have to say you have done a bang-up job of building up Rhodes in this diary. I can see him as a legitimate main event guy here. With that said, I can't picture him losing the WWE Title not long after winning it. I think the end result will play a role in the main event match since Orton is involved in both matches. But Rhodes beating Orton in two consecutive SummerSlams will definitely establish him further. The next match is Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins for both the World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships. Like with Rhodes, you've done an incredible job in building up Rollins. With so much momentum going for him, I say he walks out of here with a dual champion. He'll end up dropping the Intercontinental Title and concentrate on the World Heavyweight Title. I can definitely see Rollins vs. Rhodes somewhere down the road to unify both main championships. Next up is John Cena vs. Roman Reigns. I enjoy the storyline going here with Reigns being offended by being compared to John Cena as the next "top guy." I would say Reigns walks out of SummerSlam victorious. Cena can afford to lose this match. It doesn't hurt him, while it makes Reigns seem more legit. We then have the handicap match of Paige vs. Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez. This storyline has been done extremely well, especially with the Last Diva Standing match a while back. Paige comes across almost as a female Steve Austin with her rebellious persona. The best part of the match is the stipulation of Paige getting a match against Stephanie McMahon if she wins the handicap match. This makes this match must-see if only to see whether McMahon will finally get what's coming to her. In the end, that's the payoff. Whether that happens at SummerSlam or somewhere down the road, it has to happen. Next we have Alberto Del Rio vs. Rusev in a L.A. Street Fight. This storyline did a credible job of giving Del Rio a face turn. However, I don't see him beating Rusev. I see Rusev's unbeaten streak going on a little further. Then we have Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens in a NXT Showcase. These guys have a lot of history together. I enjoy the simple storyline of Owens being jealous of Zayn getting his big break first, even though he won't admit it. This is a match that can go either way for me. Last but not least, we have Chris Jericho vs. Tyson Kidd. There's no doubt that Kidd has been on a roll in 2013. You've certainly done a great match of establishing him as a vile heel. After all, he's willing to beat up and humiliate his wife, Natalya. That's pretty cold-blooded. I see him winning over Jericho in this one. The only way I see Jericho winning is if Kidd gets cocky and lets his guard down to the veteran Jericho.
It's an awesome card for SummerSlam. I'm looking forward to it.

After the signature WWE intro aired, cameras showed the WWE Universe filing into the Staples Center for the 'Biggest Party of the Summer,' SummerSlam! Renee Young welcomed everyone to the SummerSlam Kickoff Show before introducing the panel of experts for the evening. NXT superstar Corey Graves, Christian and the man who competed in his final match at last year's SummerSlam, Rey Mysterio. Before going into the discussion of tonight's event, Renee asked Christian if he had any update on his condition after what Kevin Owens did to him nearly three weeks ago on NXT. "I want to assure the WWE Universe that I've been well and am back on my feet. One of the biggest reasons I'm here tonight at SummerSlam is to watch Sami Zayn give Kevin Owens a taste of his own medicine and pin him in the middle of that ring," Christian stated. Renee then started things off by mentioning that tonight, we will see Kurt Angle compete in the final match of his career against Brock Lesnar. "Rey, you competed in your retirement match last year at SummerSlam. What would you say is going through Kurt Angle's mind right now?" Renee asked. Mysterio said that from personal experience, along with knowing Angle personally, this is going to be a very emotional night. "Kurt Angle retiring is one of those things that you knew would happen eventually, but to actually see it tonight will be surreal. I called it a career last year in this arena, but I went up against a good friend of mine in Sin Cara. Angle is taking on one of the most intimidating athletes in WWE history. Brock Lesnar is undefeated this year, and as much as I'd like to see Angle win his last match, I don't think anyone can bet against Brock," predicted Mysterio. Corey Graves countered Mysterio by saying that he'll be the one to bet against Brock Lesnar. "Let us not forget that Brock Lesnar isn't unbeatable. CM Punk and John Cena hold victories over him since he returned at RAW 1000. Kurt Angle will NOT let this match slip out of his hands. One of the greatest WWE superstars of all-time caps off his career by slaying the 'Beast' tonight," said Graves. "This is going to be the Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar's most physical contest against each other, no doubt about that. Emotions will run high and like Corey said, there's no way Angle is going to allow Lesnar to beat him in his retirement match. Whatever it takes to win, Kurt Angle is going to do it," Christian spoke. Renee Young said that throughout the whole night, we'll be taking a look at the illustrious career of Kurt Angle, beginning with his first WWE Championship victory. Footage from No Mercy 2000 was then shown, highlighting Angle's match against The Rock. Angle managed to defeat Rock to become the new WWE Champion, carrying the title up to the stage with tears pouring from his eyes. In the Social Media Lounge, Tom Philips checked in with the WWE Universe on both Twitter and Instagram. "Just about half an hour ago, we asked everyone on social media to join the conversation by using the hashtag '#SummerSlam.' What we wanted to know is which superstar does the WWE Universe believe will make the biggest impact here tonight. One user here stated, 'Randy Orton will be the star of #SummerSlam by becoming WWE Champion & leading The Committee to victory in WarGames.' Another fan believes that Paige will be the one who everyone talks about by not only defeating Sofia Cortez and Kaitlyn, but Stephanie McMahon as well. Please continue to get involved in the conversation as we will continue to follow who you, the WWE Universe, believe will steal the show at SummerSlam." Returning to the panel, a graphic was shown for John Cena and Roman Reigns' match up. When Renee Young asked for everyone's predictions, Corey Graves said that SummerSlam and John Cena aren't exactly the perfect match for each other. "It's been three years since Cena picked up a win here at this event, dating back to his match against The Nexus. Just from my observations, he hasn't been the same in the ring since being put out of action for a short while by Roman Reigns. We always expect Cena to rise to the occasion and overcome the odds, but what if tonight's the night that he doesn't?" Graves said, going with Reigns for this one. Rey Mysterio sided with Cena, saying that he's seen him overcome so much adversary in his career to let a 'young gun' like Roman Reigns get the better of him. "Roman Reigns is an exceptional athlete and his time to shine will come. I just don't think that time is tonight," he added. Christian then spoke, saying that ten years ago, Cena was in the position that Reigns is in now. "Cena was put to the test against megastars like Kurt Angle and The Undertaker. And every time, Cena came close, but couldn't get the job done that early on in his career. It's the same story with Roman Reigns tonight. We're going to see the best performance that we ever have from him, but it won't be enough." Heading over to ringside, the commentary trio of Michael Cole, Jerry 'The King' Lawler and John Bradshaw Layfield thanked the SummerSlam Kickoff panel before noting that it was time to get things underway with a highly anticipated one-on-one bout here on the Kickoff Show!
Arguably the biggest singles match yet in Tyson Kidd's career as the rising superstar battled a first ballot Hall of Famer in 'Y2J' Chris Jericho here on the SummerSlam Kickoff Show. The bell sounded as the two locked up, Kidd placing Jericho in a Headlock. 'Y2J' was able to catch Kidd by surprise with a roll up, gaining a two count from it. Jericho got a hold of Kidd's legs after the kick out, attempting to lock in the Walls of Jericho. Kidd managed to reach the ropes before the hold could be applied, the official forcing Jericho to back away. Kidd got to his feet as Jericho charged at him, fending him off with a boot to the face. Kidd stepped out onto the ring apron, springboarding off of the top rope and catching Jericho with a Clothesline. Jericho managed to kick out of the pin attempt, only infuriating Kidd. He would then place Jericho in a corner, hitting a few Knife Edge Chops before whipping him into the opposite corner. Jericho moved out of harm's way as Kidd's sternum crashed into the top turnbuckle. 'Y2J' delivered a one-handed Bulldog before covering Kidd for the two count. Jericho went for the Walls once again, only for Kidd to kick him away. Kidd dodged a Clothesline and rolled Jericho up with his feet on the ropes, which the official caught. While Kidd argued with the referee, Jericho turned him around nailed a Codebreaker! Unfortunately for him, Kidd rolled to the outside of the ring. Jericho headed out to ringside and brought him back into the squared circle, covering for him another two count. Jericho bounced off of the ropes with a Lionsault, only for Kidd to get his knees up in time. He planted Jericho with a Tiger Driver, not able to get the win off of that. Kidd would then bring Jericho into the center of the ring, trying to apply the Sharpshooter. Jericho fought his way out of it, turning the tables and locking Kidd in his own Sharpshooter! "The Sharpshooter is locked in! Payback for the Hart Family!" Michael Cole said on commentary as the audience cheered thunderously in hopes of Kidd submitting. That wasn't the case, however, as Kidd managed to reach the ropes. Jericho released the Sharpshooter and picked Kidd up off of the canvas, placing him on the top turnbuckle. 'Y2J' was attempting to plant Kidd with a Superplex, but Kidd prevented it after connecting several strikes to the body. Kidd then locked Jericho's arms in place, delivering an incredible Tiger Driver from the top rope! Kidd quickly covered Jericho, picking up the massive victory. TYSON KIDD DEFEATS CHRIS JERICHO!
Tyson Kidd rose to his feet as his arm was raised in victory by the official. "The biggest singles win in the career of Tyson Kidd! He just pinned the first-ever Undisputed Champion in the center of the ring!" John Bradshaw Layfield exclaimed. A replay of the top rope Tiger Driver that finished the match was shown before returning to the live feed. Kidd made his way up the entrance ramp, gloating to the WWE Universe about his monumental victory here tonight. Having just defeated a multi-time World Champion, what is next for Tyson Kidd? Heading over to the Kickoff panel for SummerSlam, Renee Young stated that while she doesn't agree with a lot of Tyson Kidd's choices in his personal and professional lives, she has to give him credit for being able to live up to promise by defeating Chris Jericho. "Some of my greatest matches were against Jericho and I've got to say that defeating him is no easy feat. Congratulations to Tyson Kidd on the biggest victory of his career," Rey Mysterio said as Christian agreed with him. Looking ahead at the SummerSlam card, three championships are set to be decided, one of which has two titles on the line. Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins go at it for both the World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships. "Rey and I have held both titles before in our careers, but never at the same time. Bryan and Rollins have the chance to make history here tonight and one of them will seize it. Considering that I'm still feeling the effects of Kevin Owens' Powerbomb onto the apron, I know for a fact that Bryan cannot be 100% going into this match. However, I still think that he gets the job done tonight," predicted Christian. Mysterio once again concurred with 'Captain Charisma,' saying that he sat at this panel at the Royal Rumble and watched Daniel Bryan win the whole thing from the number one position. "Not only that, but Bryan did the unthinkable by making Kurt Angle tap out at WrestleMania. When the pressure is at its highest, that's when Bryan is at his best," Mysterio said. "I guess I'll be the oddball on this one because I wholeheartedly believe that tonight is Seth Rollins' night. I watched Rollins grow from the newcomer in NXT to the WWE superstar that he is today. Like Christian said, Bryan cannot be 100%. All it takes is one Curb Stomp and Rollins is the new World Heavyweight Champion," Graves said. Renee moved onto the WWE Championship match, which is a rematch from last year's World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam. "Cody Rhodes is the real deal. I've been in the ring with him before and that young man has something special to him. He knows what it takes to defeat Randy Orton at SummerSlam and I think he'll do it again here tonight," Rey Mysterio said. Corey Graves spoke next, saying that as good as Cody Rhodes may be, Randy Orton is a few times better. "This is Randy Orton that we're talking about. The 'Viper.' One of the most recognizable superstars of the modern era. In my mind, it doesn't matter that he'll be pulling double duty tonight. He's going to show the world that Rhodes got lucky last year and walk into WarGames as the new WWE Champion." Lastly, Christian stated that two years ago, Randy Orton gave him one of the most grueling matches of his career. "Randy is cold, calculating and manipulative. Unless we see something out of Cody that we never have before, I'm sorry, but his days as WWE Champion are numbered." Finally, the panel covered the main event for tonight. The biggest WarGames match in history. "This is it. The most important match in SummerSlam of all-time. The WWE landscape will change forever no matter what. The Committee are not on the same page, that's been made clear. Combine that with the amount of talent on The Uprising's side, I think tonight is the final night of the Triple H regime," Christian said. "Maybe I'm a little bias because Triple H is my boss over on NXT, but I absolutely see The Committee winning this one. Forget about all of their personal issues with the likes of Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt. Even if not on the same page, they're still a stronger unit than The Uprising," Graves stated. Lastly, Mysterio chose to side with The Uprising, saying that they've come too far in their mission to let it all go to waste tonight. With just a little over two minutes left before SummerSlam went on the air, Josh Mathews was shown backstage with one of the teams competing in WarGames tonight, The Uprising. Dean Ambrose, CM Punk, Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler and Wrestling Royalty stepped into the picture, Mathews asking them one simple question. "What is the collective mindset of The Uprising heading into WarGames?" Ambrose spoke on behalf of the entire group, saying that they've been waiting for this moment for months now. "The whole reason that the six of us, and Paige, came together is because we wanted to see Triple H lose every bit of power that he has in this company. One of two things will happen tonight. Either we succeed or we fail. Because of that, this is going to be our final night as a unit. But guess what? It's also going to be The Committee's last stand together. Triple H! Everything that you've put all of us through over the past several months is going to bite you in the ass tonight! This is what we've been working towards and in WarGames, we're going to get rid of you once and for all!" Ambrose, Punk, Barrett, Ziggler, Hennig and DiBiase all placed one fist forward, the camera focusing on their united pose as the Kickoff Show came to a conclusion. WWE SUMMERSLAM | AUGUST 18TH, 2013 | LIVE ON WWE NETWORK & PAY-PER-VIEW "War..... nothing is ever the same after," was the first phrase from a voice over to start the opening video package. Footage of Triple H leading The Committee in an attack on Dean Ambrose was then shown before the emergence of The Uprising during the Last Diva Standing match back at Extreme Rules. Over the course of the next few months, the two factions would engage in a massively heated war, leading up to tonight's apropos WarGames match. If The Uprising win, Triple H will officially be removed from power. However, if The Committee win, 'The Game' will take over for Vince McMahon as the Chairman of the Board. "War..... it ends here," said the mysterious voice over as a shot of the WarGames/Hell in a Cell structure was shown. After the introductory graphic, a huge pyrotechnics display was shot off from the stage as cameras hovered over the electric sold out audience here in the Staples Center. With The 1975's "The City" playing over the PA system, the WWE Universe was formally welcomed to SummerSlam by Michael Cole, Jerry 'The King' Lawler and John Bradshaw Layfield. "For the first time ever, a Pay-Per-View event is being broadcasted live on the WWE Network, and what an event it is going to be!" Cole said as the trio briefly mentioned some of the huge matches set, including both the WarGames bout and the final match of Kurt Angle's career as he takes on Brock Lesnar. Not wasting any time, Cole sent things over to Justin Roberts, who announced that the opening contest is for the WWE Championship!
A bit of déjà vu here as the same contest between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton opened last year's SummerSlam event, except this time, the two former Legacy members would do battle for the WWE Championship. Orton made his entrance first, a huge night ahead of him. Once in the ring, he looked up at the structure that will hold the WarGames match between The Uprising and The Committee. "Randy Orton can't let the WarGames match take his focus off of Cody Rhodes and the WWE Title," John Bradshaw Layfield said. New entrance music for Rhodes, "Time is Running Out" by Papa Roach, hit as the defending champion made his way out to the stage, pyro setting off when he removed the hood of his entrance jacket. Standing on the second turnbuckle, Rhodes raised the WWE Championship as Orton stared intently at it. "You know what else is on the line here besides the WWE Title? The momentum in the WarGames match. This determines whether or not The Committee will have the gold back on their side," Lawler noted. When the bell sounded, Rhodes and Orton immediately met in the center of the ring, trading vicious blows. Orton delivered a knee to the mid-section of Rhodes, backing him against the ropes. After Rhodes bounced off of the opposite side, he slid under Orton and placed him in position for Cross Rhodes. Orton, however, prevented the maneuver by raking Rhodes' eyes, freeing himself. The WWE Champion was momentarily blinded as Orton went for the RKO, but was shoved away. Rhodes charged towards Orton, Clotheslining him as the two fell over the top rope. Rhode got to his feet first and was looking for the Disaster Kick, but Orton dodged it before striking with several Uppercuts. He bounced Rhodes' head off of the announce table before throwing his lower-back area into the ring apron. Rhodes began stirring to his feet as Orton backed away, going for another RKO. Rhodes, however, was able to throw Orton off of him, causing 'The Viper' to land on the surface of the announce table. Rhodes stepped onto the table and got a hold of Orton, intending on finishing him off right there and then with a Piledriver. That was not the case, though, as Orton delivered a back body drop that sent Rhodes crashing onto the floor! The WWE Champion writhed around in pain as Orton slid him back into the ring, covering him for a two count. Orton then placed Rhodes' feet on the second rope, hitting his patented rope hung DDT. After Rhodes kicked out of another pin attempt, Orton whipped him into a corner. Rhodes was able to lift Orton over his head when he was running, the 'Viper' landing his feet on the ring apron. Rhodes then connected with the Disaster Kick, knocking Orton off the apron. Rhodes stepped out through the second rope, diving onto Orton with a springboard Moonsault! Rhodes rolled Orton into the ring, springboarding once again, this time with a Missile Dropkick. Rhodes got the cover for two before picking Orton back up to his feet, connecting with a hard strike. Orton retaliated as the two exchanged strikes for a bit before Orton dodged one of Rhodes'. Orton attempted a Suplex, but the 'Prince of Pro Wrestling' landed on his feet. He got a wrist lock in before transitioning into a short-arm Lariat, nearly taking Orton's head off with the maneuver that some fans know as the Rainmaker. Orton crashed hard onto the back of his head as Rhodes placed him in position for a Piledriver. However, Orton twisted his way out of it, catching Rhodes with an RKO! Orton wasn't able to immediately get the cover as he held the back of his head, crawling towards Rhodes before finally going for the victory. Rhodes, however, was able to kick out, infuriating Orton. The 'Viper' then began setting Rhodes up for a second RKO before getting another idea. He backed against a corner, fully intent on punting his way to another WWE Championship. Before he could connect with the Punt Kick, Rhodes shot to his feet and grabbed Orton, delivering an Angle Slam! "The Angle Slam! Cody Rhodes paying homage to his greatest rival and the man who retires here tonight!" Bradshaw exclaimed. Rhodes quickly picked Orton up to his feet, planting him with Cross Rhodes before covering him for the win. CODY RHODES RETAINS THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP!
"Cody got him! Cody retains!" Michael Cole shouts as the WWE Universe erupted for the result of the match. Rhodes stirred to his feet as the official handed him back the WWE Championship that he just successfully defended. Highlights of the incredible match were shown, capping off with the finish that saw Rhodes deliver an Angle Slam, followed by Cross Rhodes. On the outside, Randy Orton was shown sitting against the barricade, disheartened over the fact that he was unable to bring the gold back into the camp of The Committee. For Rhodes and millions around the world, however, it was a cause for celebration as the 'Prince of Pro Wrestling' holds onto the WWE Championship after defeating Orton for the second year in a row at SummerSlam! Backstage, we were taken to the locker room of The Committee, every member present minus Bray Wyatt. Triple H threw a water bottle against the wall in anger over the fact that Randy Orton was unable to get the job done against Cody Rhodes. "You know, Hunter, I could just walk out there right now and cash-in this in to bring the WWE Title over to us," AJ Styles suggested. Triple H thought otherwise, however, telling Styles that he needs to remain focused on the WarGames match. "Rhodes' little fairytale reign can continue, but tomorrow night on RAW when I take over as the Chairman of the WWE, I guarantee that it'll be the last time Cody holds that title in his possession," Hunter stated with authority. At this time, another look back on the career of Kurt Angle was shown, this time his second WWE Championship victory. At Unforgiven 2001, Angle managed to force Stone Cold Steve Austin to submit to the Ankle Lock in one of the most memorable moments of his illustrious career. Angle's friends and family members would celebrate with him in the ring, the Olympic Gold Medalist on top of the world in his hometown of Pittsburgh.
For the first time in history, the NXT brand would receive a Showcase match live on Pay-Per-View. Kevin Owens made his entrance first, stepping out onto the stage that displayed a "Fight Owens Fight" graphic. Once in the ring, Owens stood on the second turnbuckle as he stared up at Christian, who was still at the set up for the Kickoff panel. Owens and Christian locked eyes before Sami Zayn's music hit, NXT's most popular superstar receiving a great ovation. "Let's go!" shouted Zayn and several WWE Universe members as he made his way down to the ring for the match that he had been waiting three months for. The bell sounded as Zayn immediately went for the Helluva Kick, but Owens slid out from underneath the bottom rope before it could connect. Zayn would then run the ropes, launching himself over the top rope and onto Owens! Zayn picked his former best friend up, who caught him in the rib area with an elbow before setting him up for a Powerbomb. "No, no, no! Not on the apron!" Michael Cole shouted. Fortunately, Zayn was able to counter Owens' Powerbomb attempt into a Hurricanrana. Zayn slid back into the ring to stop the referee's count before exiting on the opposite side from Owens. Zayn would then run over to the adjacent side of the ring, diving in between the turnbuckles and planting Owens with a Tornado DDT! Zayn rolled Owens into the ring, covering him for a two count. Zayn placed Owens into a corner and began unloading with strikes before Owens pulled his leg, causing him to fall face-first onto the top turnbuckle. Owens dropped Zayn on the back of his head with a Dragon Suplex, Zayn somehow managing to kick out. Owens brought Zayn closer to a corner before ascending to the top rope, delivering a Senton Bomb. Zayn, however, managed to get both of his knees up in time. He followed up by applying the Koji Clutch, Owens on the verge of submitting. The match didn't end right there, however, as Owens was able to force himself to the bottom rope. Zayn had to release the hold, but brought Owens back into the center of the ring. Zayn was kicked away, bouncing off of the ropes as Owens launched him into the air. Zayn countered the Pop Up Powerbomb attempt by delivering a Dropkick to Owens. The dazed Kevin Owens stirred to his feet as Zayn got a hold of him, hitting the Exploder Suplex into a corner! "Sami Zayn is feeling it!" John Bradshaw Layfield said as Zayn backed into the opposite corner from Owens, looking once again for the Helluva Kick. As Zayn was in motion for the kick, Owens caught him by surprise by hoisting him into the air, bringing him down with the Pop Up Powerbomb! Owens got the cover on Zayn, getting the win over his former best friend. KEVIN OWENS DEFEATS SAMI ZAYN!
A mixed response could be heard emerging from the Staples Center as Kevin Owens rose to his feet, raising his arm in victory. In only his second match thus far in WWE, he defeats Sami Zayn in NXT's first Pay-Per-View match up! Owens stared down at Zayn before looking up at Christian, 'Captain Charisma' not pleased with the result as he had his back turned away from Owens up at the Kickoff Show panel. Nonetheless, Owens left the ring with his head held high as he accomplished exactly what he set out to do. "Now can Kevin Owens become the brand new NXT Champion in ten nights at NXT TakeOver: Revision?" was the question raised by John Bradshaw Layfield. A promo was shown for Night of Champions, live Sunday September 15th on the WWE Network and Pay-Per-View! Returning to the live feed for SummerSlam, the commentary trio put over the exciting action that we have already seen thus far. "Cody Rhodes is still the WWE Champion. Kevin Owens just defeated Sami Zayn in NXT's biggest match to date, and we haven't even wrapped up the first hour!" Jerry 'The King' Lawler exclaimed. Moving ahead with the action here at SummerSlam, it was now time for Paige to gain the opportunity at revenge against The Committee. A video package was shown for the upcoming Handicap match, taking us through Paige's journey up to this point. After having the Divas Championship ripped away from her in England, the 'Anti-Diva' put her body on the line at Extreme Rules in the first-ever Last Diva Standing match, a bout that will never be forgotten. Despite Paige no longer having the Divas Title, Stephanie McMahon and The Committee continued to make her life a living hell, even going as far as to assaulting her mother on an episode of Monday Night RAW. Stephanie placed Paige in a Handicap match here tonight against Sofia Cortez and the current Divas Champion, Kaitlyn, in an attempt to rid the WWE of her. However, Mr. McMahon had other ideas as he implemented a stipulation into this huge match up. If Paige defeats Kaitlyn and Sofia, she will receive a match immediately afterwards against Stephanie. Is it time for the 'Anti-Diva' to finally get Stephanie one-on-one in the ring?
Following the completion of the video package for this match up, Justin Roberts introduced Stephanie McMahon, who received a monstrous amount of heat from the WWE Universe. Stephanie was dressed in ring attire, though she assured everyone that she will NOT be competing tonight. "That's because destroying Paige on my behalf will be accomplished by the two most dominant women in the WWE today. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for The Committee's very own Sofia Cortez and the Divas Champion, Kaitlyn!" The entrance music of Kaitlyn hit as she and Sofia made their way down to the ring, both wearing matching skull bandanas over the lower halves of their faces. They met Stephanie in the ring, awaiting the arrival of their adversary. The scream at the beginning of "Stars in the Night" sounded as the roof nearly came off of the Staples Center. Out came Paige, who was wearing a Saraya Knight t-shirt. "Paige said she isn't going to defeat Kaitlyn, Sofia and Stephanie tonight just for herself, but also for her mother, who was attacked by The Committee back in June," Bradshaw said on commentary. As soon as Paige stepped into the ring, Stephanie backed out as Kaitlyn and Sofia charged towards her. The official tried to maintain order, but the two Committee members refused as they delivered a double team Suplex to Paige. Sofia stepped out onto the ring as Kaitlyn backed into a corner, the official finally ringing the bell to start the match. When Paige stirred to her feet, Kaitlyn charged into her with a huge Spear! "Just like that, it's over!" Michael Cole shouted as Kaitlyn got the cover, not expecting Paige to kick out at two! The frustrated Kaitlyn set Paige up for a second Spear, this time ramming her shoulder into the turnbuckle. Paige charged both of her knees into the back of Kaitlyn before climbing up to the top turnbuckle. Stephanie McMahon, who was at ringside, ran to the other side in case Paige was planning on diving onto her. The 'Anti-Diva' delivered a Missile Dropkick to Kaitlyn, Sofia Cortez making the tag. Paige took Sofia down with several Clotheslines before placing the upper half of body out through the second rope, connecting with vicious knee strikes to the head. Paige launched herself over the rope, dropping a leg across the sternum of Sofia to get a two count. Paige then attempted to lock in the PTO, but Kaitlyn stepped into the ring and caught her with a kick to the side of the head The official forced Kaitlyn back into her corner as Sofia planted Paige with a Wheelbarrow DDT. The 'Anti-Diva' kicked out yet again, Sofia making the tag to the Divas Champion. Kaitlyn placed Paige on her shoulders, looking for a Gutbuster. Instead, Paige was able to counter it into a small package roll up, nearly getting the win off of it. Paige hit Kaitlyn with a kick to the stomach, the Divas Champion exiting the ring. As Paige was charging for a Suicide Dive, Sofia caught her with a running knee on the ring apron! Paige's motionless body dangled over the second rope as Kaitlyn connected with an elbow to the face. Kaitlyn approached a corner yet again as Sofia stepped into the ring, picking Paige up and holding her in place. Kaitlyn attempted to hit another Spear, but Paige moved out of harm's way as Sofia took the maneuver instead! Kaitlyn rose to her feet, staring down at Sofia after inadvertently Spearing her. Paige pushed Kaitlyn's chest into the turnbuckle, rolling her up. Kaitlyn kicked out, but Paige was able to deliver a Deadlift German Suplex! The 'Anti-Diva' followed it up by bringing Kaitlyn into the center of the ring, dropping her on her head with the RamPaige! Paige got the cover with the hook of both legs, getting the victory! PAIGE DEFEATS KAITLYN AND SOFIA CORTEZ!
"Paige won! She's got a match against Stephanie!" Michael Cole shouted as the WWE Universe went wild for the result. Stephanie McMahon's jaw just about dropped to the floor as Paige turner towards her, a smile lighting up her face. "The following contest is scheduled for one fall!" said Justin Roberts. Stephanie attempted to flee the scene, but Paige ran after her. The 'Anti-Diva' grabbed Stephanie by her hair and threw her into the ring, the bell sounding to begin the match. "This is what Paige has been waiting for!" Jerry Lawler said excitedly as the Staples Center shared his joy. As Paige stepped towards Stephanie, Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez slid into the ring, standing behind Paige. She turned around and noticed the two Committee members there to ruin her opportunity at revenge. Suddenly, the crowd's reaction went from negative to positive as AJ Lee ran out through the audience, climbing up to the top turnbuckle. A smirk from Paige caused Kaitlyn and Sofia to turn around, AJ leaping onto them with a Flying Crossbody! Kaitlyn and Sofia rolled out of the ring as AJ looked underneath the ring, bringing out a kendo stick! "AJ wants retribution for what Kaitlyn and Sofia did to her in Last Diva Standing II!" Cole said as AJ ran after the two Committee members with the kendo stick, chasing them all the way to the backstage area. Paige was then rolled up by Stephanie, who only managed to get a two count. Paige would then deliver a Superkick to Stephanie, letting out a huge shout after getting a small taste of revenge. Paige knelt down and grabbed Stephanie's hair, hitting her with repeated headbutts. With Stephanie down and out for the time being, Paige dragged her body towards the steel ring post, placing her head against it. The 'Anti-Diva' then grabbed a steel chair from ringside, intending on doing to Stephanie what she did to Saraya two months ago on RAW. "Paige doesn't care if she's disqualified! She just wants to make Stephanie suffer!" Cole yelled out while Bradshaw pleaded with Paige not to do this, saying that Stephanie is a wife and mother. Paige swung the chair, but Stephanie was able to move out of the way in time. Paige felt the after effects on her hands, giving Stephanie the opening to throw Paige face-first into the ring post. The 'Billion Dollar Princess' rolled Paige into the ring, covering her for a two count. She continuously tried to cover Paige, wanting to end the match that she feared participating in. Stephanie would take the steel chair that Paige had introduced earlier, looking to get herself intentionally disqualified. As Stephanie raised it over her head, the official pried it out of her hands. The two argued for a few seconds before Paige charged into Stephanie, inadvertently taking out the official. Paige rolled Stephanie up, getting what would have been the three count if there were a present official. Paige realizing that she had the opening to do whatever she pleased, grabbing the chair off of the mat. However, Stephanie also had the opening to pull something out from underneath the ring. Paige walked towards Stephanie, who sprayed mace into her eyes! The blinded Paige dropped the chair before Stephanie kicked her in the mid-section, delivering a Pedigree onto the chair! Stephanie slid the chair out of the ring as the official crawled towards the two of them, making the slow three count. STEPHANIE MCMAHON DEFEATS PAIGE!
"You've gotta be kidding me! Stephanie stole this match from Paige!" yelled out Michael Cole in disgust, the WWE Universe sharing his emotions as they showered Stephanie McMahon with boos. The 'Billion Dollar Princess' had her arm raised in victory, immediately hurrying up the entrance ramp after managing to defeat Paige. The 'Anti-Diva' was tended to by the ringside doctor, checking the damage that was done to her eyes as a result of the mace spray. In perhaps the most disheartening result of the night thus far, Stephanie McMahon found a way and she has scored a victory over Paige. Backstage, the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, was shown walking down a corridor, presumably to The Uprising's locker room to collectively check on the condition of Paige. Suddenly, he was blindsided by Bray Wyatt! Wyatt, who had not been seen up to that point this evening, pushed Rhodes into a wall, the 'Prince of Pro Wrestling' bouncing his head against it. Wyatt then placed Rhodes in position for the Tombstone Piledriver, delivering it onto the floor! "STAY! DOWN!" Wyatt shouted at the top of his lungs at the fallen WWE Champion before leaving the scene. Returning to ringside, Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and John Bradshaw Layfield were shown at a loss for words over everything that has transpired in just the last few minutes. "Paige finally had the match against Stephanie McMahon that she's been deserving, and Stephanie found a way to steal the victory from her. And as we just saw, Bray Wyatt struck and laid out the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. Have Cody and Paige not suffered enough already? If The Uprising don't win WarGames tonight, I fear for the direction that we're headed in," Cole said as Lawler tried to calm him down. While the story between The Uprising and The Committee will culminate tonight, so will the rivalry between Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins because coming up next, one of them will stand tall as both the World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champions. Who will make history here at SummerSlam?
The theme music of Seth Rollins hit as the Intercontinental Champion made his way out to a mixed reaction, sporting new attire with gold trim. He raised the Intercontinental Title high in the air before continuing down to the ring for the biggest match of his career. Daniel Bryan was out next as the entire sold out Staples Center crowd broke out into one massive "YES!" chant. Bryan stood on the second turnbuckle while raising his World Heavyweight Championship, Rollins responding by holding up the Intercontinental Title. After the big match introductions, the official raised both championships, showing the world what was on the line. "Let's go, Bryan/Let's go, Rollins!" was the chant heard from the WWE Universe before the bell sounded to begin this contest. The two locked up as Bryan went around Rollins, trying to take him down immediately for the Yes Lock. Rollins fought his way out of it, Bryan getting to his knees as the Intercontinental Champion went for Avada Kedavra. Bryan caught Rollins' foot, taking him down with a single-leg take down. Bryan placed Rollins in a single-leg Boston Crab. Rollins was able to reach the ropes before exiting the ring. While Rollins was taking a moment to catch his breath, Bryan launched himself out of the ring with a Suicide Dive! Rollins fell back against the barricade, Bryan re-entering the ring and delivering a second one! He rolled Rollins back into the ring before ascending up to the top rope for a Diving Headbutt. "Daniel Bryan wants to end this one early!" Jerry Lawler said as Bryan flew from the top rope. Rollins, however, was able to move out of harm's way as Bryan crashed to the canvas. The Intercontinental Champion sprung to his feet and ran the ropes, hitting a Curb Stomp! The audience members jumped to their feet as it looked like that was going to be it for this contest. Rollins got the cover, but Bryan was miraculously able to kick out! Rollins' eyes opened wide as he stared at the official, making a "three" gesture with his hand. Rollins went for another Curb Stomp, only to have Bryan counter it into a Northern Lights Suplex. After Rollins kicked out, Bryan delivered a huge kick to his chest. He hit a couple more, the audience shouting "YES!" with every one. Bryan was looking to finish the sequence with a Roundhouse Kick, but Rollins dodged it. The Intercontinental Champion got to his feet, delivering Sweet Chin Music to Bryan! "Rollins got him! Rollins got him!" Cole shouted before Bryan just narrowly kicked out! Chants of "This is awesome!" were breaking out as Rollins backed against a corner, mocking Shawn Michaels by 'tuning up the band.' As Rollins was charging towards Bryan, the World Heavyweight Champion delivered Sweet Chin Music of his own all of a sudden! The dazed Rollins remained on his feet, Bryan bouncing off the ropes and connecting with the Busaiku Knee! Bryan got the cover, but Rollins was able to kick out just in time! "What will it take for either one of these men to become a dual champion?!" Jerry Lawler asked as Bryan seemed to be wondering the same thing. Suddenly, the World Champion had an idea. Positioning Rollins for a Curb Stomp, Bryan attempted to give his adversary a taste of his own medicine. Rollins, however, countered the Curb Stomp attempt and got a hold of Bryan, throwing him into the corner with a Buckle Bomb! Rollins missed a Curb Stomp attempt as Bryan ran the ropes, looking for a flying forearm. Rollins caught Bryan's arm, taking him down to the mat and applying his own Yes Lock! "Is Rollins going to become the World Heavyweight Champion via Bryan's own submission hold?!" Cole asked as Rollins had the hold cinched in. Bryan tried furiously to reach the ropes, but Rollins pulled him back into the center of the ring. Bryan refused to tap out, but was beginning to fade into unconsciousness. Rollins' intentions were not to win via submission, however. They were only to weaken Bryan. A few seconds later, Rollins released the Yes Lock and ran the ropes, hitting Bryan with one more Curb Stomp! Rollins got the cover, the hook of leg and his name in the history books! SETH ROLLINS WINS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
"Here is your winner and still Intercontinental Champion.... and NEW World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins!" was the announcement made by Justin Roberts post-match. Rollins rose to his feet and raised both arms in the air before being handed the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Titles. He stared at both titles before making his way over to the announce table, continuing his celebration there. "I! TOLD! YOU! SO!" he shouted at the fans in attendance. Highlights from the incredible match were shown, capping off with a Curb Stomp that gave Rollins the victory. "Say all that you want about his attitude, but the fact of the matter is that this young man has made it in our industry! This time last year, Seth Rollins was the NXT Champion. Now, here tonight at SummerSlam, he holds both the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championships!" was the call made by Bradshaw as Rollins stood on the stage with both pieces of gold draped over his shoulders. At this time, a huge announcement was made regarding a future special event. On Sunday, September 29th, the WWE Network will hold its first-ever exclusive Pay-Per-View. The Superstars and Divas of both WWE and NXT will walk into the Manhattan Center for a groundbreaking event, Unison. For one night only, RAW, SmackDown and NXT come together. "This is not WWE and NXT competing against each other. This is WWE and NXT competing in Unison," said a voice over from Triple H. WWE/NXT Unison, live September 29th, only on the WWE Network! Returning to SummerSlam, Triple H was shown in the office of The Committee, gloating about the Unison announcement. "Just a little taste of what is to come with me calling the shots over in Stamford," said Hunter to his teammates. Suddenly, Bray Wyatt walked into the room as he came face-to-face with Triple H, also glaring over at AJ Styles. "DONE! The fly on the wall has been exterminated! No longer does the name 'Rhodes' represent a living creature. He's just a fragment of all our glorious imaginations!" Wyatt shouted. "Yeah, Cody Rhodes is on his way to a hospital thanks to you. He might already be there. Good, but that's just one piece of The Uprising taken care of, along with Paige thanks to my wife. Ambrose, Punk, Barrett, Ziggler, Hennig and DiBiase are still our targets. After they're gone, then we can officially say that it's 'done,'" Hunter stated. Wyatt simply laughed in Triple H's face before telling him that the anger he's showing towards him really has no place in the world. "The world that you think you created and we're all just living in it, Triple H. Don't get too close to the flames or else you'll get burned..... you know a little something about being burned by ol' Bray Wyatt, don't you, Kane?" Wyatt said, referring to his Inferno match against Kane back at Survivor Series last year. The 'Eater of Worlds' left the room while singing the tune of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands."
After witnessing a profession wrestling clinic between Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins, the WWE Universe would witness the polar opposite. A match where the rule book was completely torn to shreds and thrown out into the streets of Los Angeles. The entrance music of Rusev hit as the 'Super Athlete' made his way out with his manager, Lana. The two have spent the entire Summer dominating the scene here in WWE while boasting about their home land, Russia. Tonight was Rusev's night to show that he is more than just talk. Alberto Del Rio was out next, debuting new entrance music, much like Cody Rhodes at the top of the show. Del Rio marched down to the ring with authority, stepping in and immediately going after Rusev. Del Rio pushed the behemoth Russian into a corner, striking him with repeated body shots. Rusev grabbed Del Rio and connected with a head butt, fending off the 'Mexican Aristocrat.' Rusev would then catch Del Rio with a huge Superkick, not immediately going for a cover. Wanting to further punish Del Rio, Rusev attempted to lock in the Accolade. Del Rio, however, managed to slide out from underneath Rusev, charging towards him and hitting an Enziguri. Rusev was rocked as he backed against the ropes, Del Rio charging into him with a Clothesline. Rusev fell to the outside as Del Rio slapped his chest a few times, the audience rallying behind him with a "Si!" chant. Del Rio climbed onto the top turnbuckle, leaping onto Rusev. The 'Super Athlete,' however, was able to catch Del Rio in mid-air, ramming his spine into the steel ring post. Rusev picked up the steel steps, intending on using them to further damage Del Rio. "Rusev.... CRUSH!" Lana shouted while clinching her first. Rusev charged towards Del Rio with the steps, but was tripped and landed face-first onto them! Del Rio looked underneath the ring while Rusev was out, grabbing a trash can. He placed it over Rusev's head and torso before stepping onto the ring apron. When Rusev got to his feet, Del Rio ran and kicked the trash can! Rusev fell back as Del Rio stomped the can for good measure. With Rusev out momentarily, Del Rio looked underneath the ring once again, pulling out a table. He set it up before placing Rusev on it before returning to the top rope. Del Rio looked over to Rey Mysterio, who was still over at the table for the Kickoff panel. "For all of us," was what Del Rio said before leaping off of the turnbuckle, taking out Rusev with a Frog Splash through the table! Lana was horrified at the sight, shouting for Rusev to get up. Del Rio was the first one up, though, taking Rusev and rolling him back into the ring. "Del Rio told Mysterio 'For all of us,' as in everyone who shares their heritage and has been disrespected by Rusev. Can Del Rio finish him off here?!" Michael Cole stated as Del Rio got the cover, Rusev somehow managing to kick out. Del Rio then began calling for the Cross Armbreaker, but when he grabbed Rusev's arm, he was met with a Urinagi instead. Rusev regained the momentum from there, placing Del Rio in a corner and charging into him. Still wanting to punish the 'Mexican Aristocrat,' Rusev looked underneath the ring and brought out a crowbar. Rusev began to measure Del Rio, looking to finish him off. Rusev swung the crowbar, but missed. Del Rio delivered a kick to the mid-section, Rusev dropping the crowbar. Del Rio would then pick it up, striking him over the head with it! "But Rusev didn't go down!" Lawler said as the 'Super Athlete' remained on one knee. Del Rio followed up with a second crowbar shot, bringing Rusev down onto the other knee! One last Superkick from Del Rio to Rusev finally brought the big man down, Del Rio covering him for the massive victory. ALBERTO DEL RIO DEFEATS RUSEV!
Shock and awe around the WWE Universe as Alberto Del Rio himself couldn't believe the result. "Del Rio did it! Rusev has been pinned for the first time ever!" Michael Cole shouted while the crowd roared with excitement. Lana held her head while screaming in anger at the fact that her 'Super Athlete' had shockingly just been pinned for the first time in his career. "Just like that, Rusev's undefeated streak has been snapped before it could even begin!" Bradshaw exclaimed as his former God's Gifts stablemate went over to the announce table, slapping everyone's hand. Del Rio then entered the audience, walking over to a section where one fan in attendance had a Mexican flag. The "Si!" chants were deafening as Del Rio celebrated his biggest win in quite some time. No longer is Rusev the undefeated behemoth. For the first time ever, the 'Super Athlete' has been pinned, courtesy of Alberto Del Rio! A promo was shown for Total Divas, airing every Sunday night on the E! Network. Returning to the live feed for SummerSlam, the entrance music of Alberto Del Rio could still be heard as the celebration was still ongoing for the end of Rusev's undefeated streak. "We celebrate Alberto Del Rio's huge victory, and ever since Kurt Angle revealed that tonight will be his final match, we have celebrated his career. Now, we prepare to say goodbye to one of the greatest of all-time," said Michael Cole as a graphic for Angle and Brock Lesnar's match was shown. A video package took us back to WrestleMania XXIX, where Angle stated that if he couldn't become World Heavyweight Champion in MetLife Stadium, he would retire from professional wrestling. Unable to capture the gold, Angle was fully prepared to face the consequences and live up to his word. That was until Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman interrupted his retirement speech just five nights after WrestleMania. Lesnar viciously assaulted Angle, ensuring that he would leave the WWE. However, Lesnar was shocked by the return of Kurt Angle just a little under three months later, the Olympic Gold Medalist declaring that he would not retire until he got his hands on Lesnar. Heyman was able to organize the match up for SummerSlam, but only on the condition that it be the final match of Angle's career. Angle must walk away from professional wrestling after tonight, but will he even be able to leave under his own power after going up against the 'Beast Incarnate?' The entrance music of Brock Lesnar hit to a strongly negative response as the 'Beast Incarnate' made his way out to the stage along with Paul Heyman, the duo looking to spoil Kurt Angle's sendoff here tonight. After Lesnar was settled in the ring, the music of his opponent hit to the loudest ovation of the night thus far. "Thank you, Angle! Thank you, Angle!" was the chant that rang throughout the entire Staples Center as Kurt Angle made his way down to the ring for the final match of his career. With tears in his eyes, Angle wore the American flag over his back, also wearing a special t-shirt for the event that had his accolades printed on the back and 'Heroes Live Forever' on the front. The chants continued even after Angle's music had silenced, Lesnar not phased by the overwhelming and emotional response for his adversary. When the bell sounded, Angle immediately attempted to take Lesnar down, only to be pushed away. Lesnar simply shook his head as Angle got back to his feet, trying to figure out a different strategy for taking down the 'Beast.' Angle went behind Lesnar and tried to lift him off of his feet, but Lesnar backed into a corner, taking Angle with him. Lesnar caught Angle in the side of the head with a hard elbow strike, dazing him for the moment. Angle fell the mat as Lesnar backed away, very much enjoying having control of this match. Angle would get up and charged towards Lesnar, who dodged a Clothesline and dropped Angle with a German Suplex! "Kurt Angle hasn't gotten a single bit of offense in on Brock Lesnar," John Bradshaw Layfield stated, shocked at how one-sided this match had been. Angle got to his feet while holding his neck, trying to go after Lesnar yet again. Angle hit a few strikes, none of which rock Lesnar. The 'Beast Incarnate' turned Angle around, delivering a second German Suplex!" Suplex City, bitch!" Lesnar said towards Angle, who remained down on the canvas. Lesnar picked Angle up off of his feet, hoisting him up to his shoulders for an F-5! Lesnar got the cover on Angle, only for the Olympic Gold Medalist to kick out at two. "You should have just stayed down!" Heyman shouted at Angle. Lesnar picked him back up to his feet, putting hm back down with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. "This is not at all how Kurt Angle wanted to go out," Jerry Lawler said, the announce team almost feeling sorry for him. Angle was on his hands and knees when Lesnar struck him with a knee to the rib area. Angle was gasping for air when Lesnar placed him against a corner, connecting with a second Belly-to-Belly. Still, Angle continued to get to his feet. Lesnar brought him to the center of the ring, going for another F-5. This time, Angle managed to counter the maneuver and apply a Guillotine Choke! Angle had the hold cinched, Lesnar dropping to one knee. "One counter by Kurt Angle might lead him to victory!" Bradshaw exclaimed as the world watched and waited for Lesnar's response. The 'Beast Incarnate' got to his feet and rammed Angle into a corner, breaking free of the hold. Lesnar slapped Angle a few times before the Olympic Gold Medalist retaliated with a headbutt, taking Lesnar off of his game. Angle crept up behind Lesnar, delivering a German Suplex of his own into the turnbuckles. The back of Lesnar's head hit the turnbuckle, dazing him and allowing Angle to deliver the Angle Slam! Kurt Angle got the cover, but not the win as Lesnar was able to kick out at two. Angle pulled down his straps, calling for the Ankle Lock. He placed Lesnar in his signature submission maneuver, twisting the ankle violently. "No, Brock! Please don't!" Heyman shouted at his client, who had his hand in the air. There was nothing for Heyman to worry about, though, as Lesnar was able to grab the bottom rope to force a break. Angle released the Ankle Lock and backed against the ropes, he and Lesnar taking each other to the limit after it looked like he stood no chance early on. Angle grabbed Lesnar by his waist and was looking for a German Suplex, but Lesnar went around him and delivered another one of his own. Angle was slow to get to his feet, but eventually did so. Lesnar stood in the center of the ring, laughing at the Olympic Gold Medalist. Angle charged at him and hit a few Uppercuts, none having any effect on Lesnar. Angle then tried for another Angle Slam, but didn't have the strength to hoist Lesnar up. Angle dropped to his knees, having already throwing everything that he had at Lesnar. The two locked eyes as Angle looked up at Lesnar, unsure if he could even attempt to do anything else to win. Lesnar placed Angle on his shoulders, intent on hitting his second F-5. "..... And don't come back," were the words from Lesnar right before he dropped Angle with the F-5! Lesnar got the cover on Angle, defeating him in his final match. BROCK LESNAR DEFEATS KURT ANGLE!
The commentators and audience members remained silent as the bell rang, Paul Heyman joining Brock Lesnar in the ring. The announcement that Lesnar was victorious received almost no reaction as everyone in the Staples Center focused on the fact that they had just witnessed Kurt Angle be nearly dismantled in his final match. Angle gave Lesnar a few scares, but in comparison, this match belonged to the 'Beast Incarnate.' After Lesnar and Heyman left to the backstage area, Angle rose to his feet as he received a standing ovation from the sold out crowd. More "Thank you, Angle!" chants could be heard as Angle looked back at the fans, giving them his own thanks. "Nearly fourteen years after his debut here in WWE, we say goodbye to one of the greatest superstars in history," John Bradshaw Layfield said as Angle slowly made his way up the entrance ramp, the damage from Lesnar evident in his body language. When Angle reached the top of the stage, he looked back at the crowd one more time, raising his gold medal high in the air. The career of Kurt Angle has come to an end here tonight at SummerSlam. Thank you, Angle. An advertisement for the WWE Network was shown, available now for only $9.99 per month! Returning to the SummerSlam broadcast, the Kickoff panel of Renee Young, Christian, Rey Mysterio and Corey Graves were shown in the same state as everyone else watching - speechless. "That's really it. Kurt Angle's career is over, and in his final match, he gets decimated by Brock Lesnar," Graves said as Christian said that Angle put up a much better fight than people are giving him credit for. "In comparison to other sports, this wasn't a blowout victory for Brock Lesnar. Kurt Angle came close on several occasions to winning. Of course, that doesn't really matter at this point because what does is the fact that we just saw Kurt Angle wrestle for the last time in his career," Christian added. "The career of Kurt Angle has come to an end here tonight, and what a career it-" IF YA SMELL! At the sound of that intro, everyone in the Staples Center jumped to their feet. "No freakin' way!" Corey Graves said as everyone had their attention turned to the stage. Seconds later, The Rock made his way out through the curtain! "Oh my! The 'Brahma Bull' has arrived at SummerSlam!" Michael Cole shouted in excitement. Rock looked out into the sea of WWE Universe members as he marched down to the ring, standing on the turnbuckle and giving his signature pose. "Unbelievable!" was all that John Bradshaw Layfield had to say at the sight of the 'Great One.' The "Rocky!" chants could not be contained as The Rock took a microphone, waiting a bit before speaking. ".... FINALLY! The Rock has come back to Los Angeles!" he said to another great response. "Now The Rock knows what you all are probably thinking right now - why? Why has the 'Most Electrifying Man in All of Sports Entertainment' shown up to SummerSlam. Simply put, The Rock would not have missed this night for anything! By the time this show goes off the air, Triple H will no longer be in power! The Rock's blood, Roman Reigns, is a few short minutes away from the biggest match of his career! Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins painted a masterpiece on this canvas! And just before he came out here, The Rock said goodbye to one of his good friends in this industry, Kurt Angle. Kurt, The Rock loves you. Thank you for everything," said Rock, the audience once again chanting for the Olympic Gold Medalist. "Also, The Rock thinks that it's about time he got in on this WWE Network stuff. Which, by the way, those of you watching on Pay-Per-View can subscribe to for just $9.99," Rock said to a good laugh. "All in all, The Rock is here tonight for the same reason everyone else is - we all love the WWE," stated the 'Great One.' Suddenly, The Rock was interrupted by the arrival of the NXT Champion, Tyler Breeze. Rock stared at the stage as Breeze made his way out to the ring, looking only at his cell phone screen and no one else. "Hello, Dwayne. So thoughtful of you to join all of us for once," Breeze said to the 'Brahma Bull.' "..... What in the blue hell is that thing?" Rock asked, referring to Breeze's custom designed iPhone case. When Breeze attempted to answer, he was met with one of The Rock's signature phrases - "It doesn't matter what that is!" Breeze was visibly annoyed as the WWE Universe cheered Rock on. "It looks like you're staring at a miniature cat's junk! The Rock was about to call PETA on your creepy ass," he added, Breeze only further infuriated. "Haha. Very clever and mature, Dwayne. The reason I'm out here right now isn't for the same reason as you. You can stand here and deliver your famous catchphrases, but the truth is that you're here in this ring because you can't get enough of the spotlight. The very same spotlight that belongs to me. The most gorgeous man in the entire world. 'Prince Pretty,'" Breeze stated as the crowd booed him. "The Rock knows who you are. Tyler Breeze. The NXT Champion. And you know why The Rock knows who you are, Tyler? Because he's never been able to get the bad taste out of his mouth from when you stole that NXT Championship from Sami Zayn," Rock said as the audience broke out into an "Ole!" chant for Zayn. "Shut up! All of you! How are you disrespect me, Dwayne?!? Give it another few months and these people won't even know your name anymore. The only name that will resonate in their hollow heads is mine!" Breeze shouted as Rock tried to calm him down. "You know what? You're right. The Rock apologizes for this. Hey, no hard feelings. No, The Rock is serious right now. To show you, how about we take a selfie?" Rock asked, which caught Breeze off guard. Rock put his microphone down as he stood next to Breeze, smiling while 'Prince Pretty' hesitantly prepared his phone for the selfie. "You know I'm not tagging you, right?" Breeze asked Rock. The NXT Champion then took the selfie as Rock shook his hand, asking if he could see the picture. When Breeze gave Rock his iPhone, the 'Great One' threw it halfway across the entrance ramp! Breeze looked over at his phone with a shocked expression before The Rock turned him around and planted him with a Rock Bottom! "If your tricked out phone is still in one piece, then here's a suggestion for your caption on that picture. IF YA SMELL.... WHAT THE ROCK.... IS.... COOKING!" The Rock placed his microphone back down as he posed in the ring for the millions watching around the world. "Tyler Breeze will never forget the day that he met The Rock at SummerSlam," Jerry Lawler said as Rock made his way up the entrance ramp. Backstage, Tom Philips was standing by with the Intercontinental Champion and brand new World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins. Rollins stepped into the picture with a huge smile on his face and both championships resting on his shoulders. "First of all, Seth, congratulations on-" was all that Tom could say before being cut off by the new World Champion. "That's right! Congratulations to me! After I won King of the Ring, I said that I was going to beat Daniel Bryan right here tonight and become the new World Heavyweight Champion. On top of that, I'm also still the reigning Intercontinental Champion, the title that I said I was going to bring prestige and honor back to. Even with all of those accolades to my name, I'm not done making history. Tomorrow night on RAW, I want the entire world to watch because I've got something to say that's going to change this company forever," Rollins said before leaving the interview.
The present meets the future in the eyes of many. It was time for Roman Reigns to put or shut up in the biggest match of his career on one of the biggest stages that the WWE has to offer. The 'One Man Army' made his entrance first, sporting a new vest with his logo plastered on the front of it. Reigns stood against the ropes as he awaited the arrival of his adversary, one of the most polarizing competitors in history. John Cena's entrance music hit to a very mixed reaction from the Los Angeles crowd. Cena made his way out to the stage, looking out at the fans in attendance before turning to the camera. "Kurt Angle, you helped make me the superstar that I am today. Thank you so much, sir. Enjoy yourself," Cena said before running down to the ring, immediately staring off with Reigns. When the match began, Reigns charged towards Cena, only to be taken down with an Arm Drag. "Perhaps this is where the experience factor will come into play," Jerry Lawler said as Reigns was visibly bothered. He got back to his feet and went back after Cena, who dodged a Clothesline and rolled up him. Reigns kicked out quickly, only for Cena to take him down with a Headlock. Reigns was able to get to his feet, pushing Cena into the ropes. Cena bounced off and collided shoulders with Reigns, neither man moving. Reigns tried to take Cena down, but once again, they remained standing. When Cena tried for another shoulder tackle, Reigns caught him with an elbow. Reigns covered Cena, barely getting a two count out of it. He struck away with a few hard shots to Cena's forehead before bringing him up to his feet. Reigns twisted Cena's arm before throwing him into a corner. After charging into Cena, Reigns planted him with a Samoan Drop for another two count. "You want to do this the hard way?" Reigns asked Cena before catching him with a knee to the jaw. The 'One Man Army' placed Cena's upper half out between the first and second ropes, going for his apron Dropkick. Cena moved out of harm's way as Reigns landed his lower back onto the apron. Cena stepped out through the ropes, trading blows with Reigns on the apron. Cena hoisted his opponent up to his shoulders, looking for an Attitude Adjustment onto the floor. Reigns, however, slid off of Cena's shoulders and back into the ring, connecting with an elbow strike to the back of the head! Cena crashed to the floor as the official began the count. Cena made it back into the ring at seven, but by that point, Reigns had already been gearing up for a Spear. He charged at Cena, who leaped over him and delivered Code Red! The commentators were shocked at the maneuver that Cena pulled out for the first time, though it only managed to give him a two count. Cena got back to his feet and brought Reigns into the center of the ring, preparing to deliver a Five Knuckle Shuffle. After Cena rebounded off of the ropes, Reigns quickly sprung to his feet and drilled him with a Spear! Reigns got the cover, but Cena was able to kick out in time. Reigns became frustrated, but soon saw an opening to humiliate Cena. He raised his hand into the air, bringing it down giving Cena is own "You Can't See Me" gesture. Reigns was looking for his own Five Knuckle Shuffle, but Cena countered it and took him down for the STF! Cena had the hold cinched in, Reigns looking to have been extremely close to submitting. That was not to be the case, however, as the 'One Man Army' made it to the ropes to force a break. Deciding against trying for the submission victory again, Cena stepped onto the top turnbuckle, waiting for Reigns to stagger into the center of the ring. He came down with a diving Leg Drop, but Reigns was able to move out of the way in time. When Cena got to his feet while holding his leg, Reigns caught him with the Superman Punch! "This is it! Roman Reigns is about to beat John Cena!" Bradshaw called as Reigns began setting Cena up for another Spear. This time, Cena was able to avoid it by placing Reigns on his shoulder, hitting the Attitude Adjustment! Cena got the cover, but not the win as Reigns was able to say in this by getting a shoulder up! Going to his last resort, Cena perched Reigns on the top turnbuckle. He stepped onto the second rope, looking to place Reigns in position for an Attitude Adjustment from the top rope. Reigns, however, was able to slide out of Cena's grip, tossing him across the ring with a Powerbomb. When Cena staggered to his feet, Reigns took him down with another Spear, this time to capture the victory! ROMAN REIGNS DEFEATS JOHN CENA!
"Roman Reigns with the biggest win of his career! He beats John Cena at SummerSlam!" Michael Cole shouted as Roman Reigns stood to his feet, letting out a huge shout as several shocked members of the WWE Universe were shown. "Completely clean in the middle of the ring, Roman Reigns has etched his name into the history books! He's been saying that he's better than John Cena ever was and as ludicrous as that sounded, it may end up true!" said the opinionated John Bradshaw Layfield. Mixed emotions from the Staples Center as Reigns stood on the second rope, raising both arms high in the air. When he stepped back onto the canvas, he was turned around by John Cena, who held his rib area. Despite everything that has transpired over the past two months, Reigns backed up everything that he said. Because of that, Cena extended his hand out to him. Reigns hesitated to respond, but soon put his hand out..... only to push Cena's face away. "I'm the man around here now," Reigns said to Cena before leaving the ring, massively disrespecting the man he just defeated. Despite what many may think of him, Roman Reigns can now say that in the Staples Center for SummerSlam, he pinned John Cena. Backstage, the six members of The Uprising who compete in WarGames were shown walking down a corridor, Dean Ambrose holding a trash can full of weapons. The time has finally come. Earlier tonight on the SummerSlam Kickoff Show, Ambrose said that win or lose, this would be The Uprising's last stand together as a unit. They either fail or achieve their mission with this one match. A video package was then shown for our main event, "This Means War" by Avenged Sevenfold immediately kicking in. When RAW and SmackDown officially merged after WrestleMania, Triple H was placed in charge of both brands. Hunter proceeded to form The Committee, which began as just that. A Committee of authority figures. Over time, the group morphed into an army for Hunter to maintain power and control. Dean Ambrose was the first superstar to get under the skin of The Committee, even being fired for his rebellious behavior. CM Punk, Wade Barrett and Paige became involved during the Last Diva Standing match, joining Ambrose in his mission to rid the WWE of Triple H. Dolph Ziggler and Wrestling Royalty, three other superstars affected by The Committee, hopped on board. The night following Payback, Ambrose was reinstated by Vince McMahon as a result of an attack against him, as well as the sudden termination of Derrick Bateman. Along with that, he proposed that there be a match at SummerSlam to settle this heated rivalry - the biggest WarGames match in history. Six against six with so much at stake. If The Uprising win, then Triple H will be removed from power. If The Committee win, 'The Game' will be named the new Chairman of the Board, making him immune from any punishment. When The Committee was in need of a sixth member, an unlikely entity would step forward in the form of Bray Wyatt. Tension lies within The Committee, but this past Monday on RAW, the six of them stood as one inside of the WarGames structure with The Uprising having no chance but to stand on the other side and watch Dean Ambrose be dismantled. This is it. The final match in this war that could have destroyed the WWE from within. Six Uprising members. Six Committee members. One result that will change the landscape of the company forever. This means war.
After the WarGames/Hell in a Cell structured lowered to the ground, "Cult of Personality" hit to reveal not only that The Uprising will have the man advantage, but also that CM Punk will be the man to start things off for them. Punk's name rang throughout the Staples Center as the 'Best in the World' made his way down to the ring, stepping into the monstrous structure that will settle the war. Punk stared up at the stage, waiting anxiously to see which Committee member he would begin the match with. Seconds later, "Demi-Gods" blasted as Mr. Money in the Bank, AJ Styles made his entrance. A smile came across Punk's face as he had been craving an opportunity to get Styles in a one-on-one situation. After the door was closed, the bell sounded as Punk and Styles battled into a corner. Styles hit a few body shots before bringing Punk into the ring, looking for Bloody Sunday already. Punk countered out of it, taking Styles down with a Neckbreaker. Punk placed Styles in a corner, hitting him a few chops and strikes before throwing him down into the center of the ring. Punk ascended to the top rope, coming down with a diving Elbow Drop. He headed over to the opposite corner, delivering a second Elbow Drop that Styles was able to dodge. The 'Phenomenal One' kicked Punk out of the ring by exiting as well, throwing the 'Best in the World' into one of the Cell walls. Styles raked Punk's face against the steel before heading into the ring as the countdown clock appeared for the next Uprising member to join the fray. When the clock reached zero, the entrance music of Dean Ambrose hit to a thunderous response. Ambrose ran down to the ring with a trashcan full of weapons, throwing it at Styles. The 'Lunatic Fringe' charged Styles, taking him down and delivering repeated strikes. Ambrose went over to the trashcan, pulling out a lead pipe. He swung it at Styles, only to miss the shot. Styles connected with a Pele Kick to Ambrose, taking him down momentarily. Styles looked through the trashcan, finding a fork of all things inside of it. Punk slowly slid back into the ring as Styles attempted to drive the fork into his forehead. Ambrose got a hold of Styles from behind, delivering a Russian Leg Sweep. He brought Styles back up to his feet, holding him up as Punk delivered a shot with the trashcan to the top of his head. Soon, it was time for the next Committee member to join WarGames, Randy Orton. The 'Viper,' who failed to defeat Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship in the opening contest, went right after Punk. Ambrose struck Orton repeatedly in the back, pulling him off of Punk and into a corner. After Ambrose delivered a few chops to Orton, Punk charged into him with a Running Knee. Orton staggered into the center of the ring as Ambrose was looking to hit the Boma Ye, but as he was doing so, AJ Styles springboarded off of the top rope and hit a flying forearm shot. Punk and Styles brawled until Orton took Punk down with an Inverted Backbreaker. Orton and Styles would then lock eyes, the two Committee members knowing that while they haven't been on the same page, they have to for this one time if they want their team to win. Joining next for The Uprising was Ted DiBiase, who recently reignited a longtime rivalry with Randy Orton. One-half of Wrestling Royalty dodged a double team Clothesline from Orton and Styles, taking them both down with shoulder tackles. DiBiase took the trash can that was introduced by Ambrose, positioning it between the third and second turnbuckles. He attempted to throw Styles into it, but the 'Phenomenal One' stopped himself. DiBiase then set him up for a Powerbomb, only for Orton to deliver a Dropkick. Orton then picked Ambrose's carcas up, throwing him head-first into the trash can. AJ Styles stuck his head out of the ring to get a hold of CM Punk, but was met with a kendo stick shot! Punk caught Orton in the mid-section with the kendo stick, delivering one more shot to his back. When the clock expired, pyro shot from the stage to signal the arrival of Kane. The 'Big Red Monster' made his way into the ring, grabbing the kendo stick when Punk attempted to strike him with it. He threw it to the side and grabbed Punk by his throat, looking for a Chokeslam. Ambrose tried to make the save, but was kicked away. However, the 'Lunatic Fringe' rebounded back into the ring and connected a Jawbreaker Lariat onto Kane. Punk and Ambrose worked together to plant Kane with a double team Suplex. Ambrose then attempted to hit AJ Styles with a Suicide Dive, but when he launched himself out of the ring, Styles leveled him with a stop sign that was found underneath the ring. "What the hell was a stop sign doing there?" asked John Bradshaw Layfield as Styles took it into the ring, hitting Ted DiBiase in the face with it. Punk would then catch Styles with a Roundhouse Kick, following that up with a DDT onto the sign. All six men in the match at that point were down as Joe Hennig entered next for The Uprising. Hennig assisted DiBiase to his feet, Wrestling Royalty targeting Randy Orton as he was the first to get to his feet. The two placed him on the top turnbuckle, delivering a huge double team Superplex! Kane re-entered the ring at that point and took Hennig out with a Big Boot before catching DiBiase with a hard strike to the jaw. The 'Big Red Monster' exited the ring, pulling out a table. He set it up before going after Ambrose, who had not even made it back up to his feet after being struck with a stop sign earlier. Kane threw Ambrose into the ring, dropping his leg across his chest. Punk flew into Kane with a springboard Clothesline, taking him down for the time being. Punk picked up the kendo stick, waiting for one of the Committee members to get up. The countdown clock reached zero once again as the signature of The Wyatt Family hit. "The wild card in all of this," Bradshaw stated while the lights were out. When the lights came back on, Bray Wyatt was shown already in the ring, standing behind CM Punk. The 'Eater of Worlds' turned Punk around and planted him with Sister Abigail, sitting on his knees while observing the carnage around him. He then went after DiBiase, planting him with a Tombstone Piledriver onto the stop sign. Wyatt was essentially in complete control for The Committee, ironic considering that he is the only member of their team not actively part of the faction. "Fate lies in my hands!" Wyatt shouted as he was the sole competitor standing. Dean Ambrose attempted to get to his feet as Wyatt shoved him into a corner, delivering numerous strikes and even a headbutt. Joe Hennig got a hold of Wyatt from behind placing him in a Sleeper Hold. Wyatt, however, was able to ram Hennig into a corner, freeing himself. Ambrose charged towards Wyatt, only to hit Hennig inadvertently. Wyatt would then run the ropes and take Ambrose down with a Running Crossbody, getting to his feet as he awaited the next entrant for The Uprising. Dolph Ziggler's entrance music hit to a huge response from the Staples Center. "Los Angeles loves the 'Show Off!'" Bradshaw exclaimed as Ziggler ran down to the ring. He unloaded with strikes onto Wyatt, looking for revenge against the man who prevented him from challenging for the WWE Championship at King of the Ring. Wyatt retaliated with a knee to the mid-section before placing Ziggler in position for a Tombstone. Ziggler, however, was able to slide off of Wyatt's shoulders, catching him with a Superkick! Ziggler removed his shirt, fired up after taking Wyatt down. CM Punk brought Wyatt out from underneath the bottom rope, placing him on the table that was set up earlier by Kane. Ziggler went after AJ Styles, who was barely beginning to stir to his feet. While holding his chest, Ambrose ascended to the top turnbuckle, looking down at the table that Bray Wyatt was laid across on. The 'Lunatic Fringe' leaped off with an Elbow Drop, crashing through both Wyatt and the table! "This is complete anarchy!" Jerry Lawler noted as Bradshaw said that this war would not end any other way. Ziggler attempted to plant Styles with a DDT, only to have it countered into Bloody Sunday! Out next for The Committee was Batista, giving their unit the muscle that they needed. 'The Animal' took Hennig down with a Clothesline on the outside before heading into the ring, taking DiBiase down with a Spinebuster. CM Punk stepped onto the top rope, coming down with Clotheslines to both Batista and Styles. The 'Best in the World' picked up a lead pipe from the corner of the ring, waiting for his moment to strike with it. That wouldn't be, however, as Randy Orton turned him around, delivering an RKO! Orton, Batista and Styles stood in the ring as Ambrose slid in, the 'Lunatic Fringe' not backing away from the three of them. He first went after Styles, taking him down for just a second before Orton and Batista pulled him off. Orton delivered an Uppercut to him, Ambrose backing against a corner. Batista stepped onto the second rope and began unloading with strikes until Ziggler stepped onto the ring apron with a kendo stick, catching Batista in the head with it. 'The Animal' fell off of the second rope as Ambrose charged at Orton, taking him down with a huge Clothesline. Before Ziggler step back into the ring, Kane pulled him off of the ring apron, throwing his back into the Cell wall. At that moment, the countdown clock reached zero and the final Uprising member, Wade Barrett, entered the mix of things. Barrett stepped into the WarGames structure and immediately got into a fist fight with Bray Wyatt on the outside. The fresh Barrett threw Wyatt into the ring post before stepping through the ropes. He stomped away on Batista in a corner as Ambrose Clothesline Styles over the top rope, attempting another Suicide Dive that actually connected this time. Ambrose stepped onto the ring apron and was looking to leap onto Kane, only to be caught and rammed into the structure. Kane slid into the ring, Barrett noticing and going directly after him. He placed Kane up on his shoulders, looking for the Wasteland. AJ Styles, however, caught Barrett with a Pele Kick, allowing Kane to slide off and deliver a Chokeslam to Barrett. Orton helped Batista to his feet as Wyatt slid into the ring, the five Committee members standing tall just in time for the arrival of the last participant. The 'King of Kings,' Triple H. Hunter, who has more riding on the line than anyone else in this match, made his way down to the ring, not yet satisfied as there was still a finish to be decided. With all twelve men now in the match, pinfalls and submissions could occur to determine a winner. The Committee stood in the ring as The Uprising rose to their feet on the outside, both teams having a stand off. Punk, Ambrose, Barrett, Ziggler, Hennig and DiBiase would all slide into the ring at the same time, a massive brawl breaking out! Ambrose took Styles to the outside of the WarGames structure, throwing him into the Cell wall. Ambrose continued to unload with strikes before Kane went after him. DiBiase and Hennig were able to take care of Kane, striking him repeatedly as they took him all the way over to the announce tables. DiBiase placed Kane in the Million Dollar Dream, the 'Big Red Monster' fading out while Hennig climbed up a third of the structure. Kane was laid out on the announce table as Hennig leaped off, crashing onto him with a huge splash through the table! "Retribution for Wrestling Royalty!" Cole shouted as DiBiase helped his tag team partner to his feet. Back in the ring, Triple H, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton and Batista seemingly had things taken care of as CM Punk, Wade Barrett and Dolph Ziggler were lying on the canvas. Wyatt brought Punk up to his feet, placing him in position for Sister Abigail. At that moment, sirens were heard as an ambulance could be seen driving into the arena. "Wait a second.... Cody Rhodes! Cody Rhodes is driving the ambulance!" yelled out Cole as the WWE Universe went wild. The WWE Champion, who was taken out earlier by Wyatt, was back for revenge!" Bray, stay focused! Bray!" shouted Triple H at Wyatt, who let his desire to punish Rhodes get the better of him. Wyatt exited the WarGames structure and met Rhodes up on the stage, the two going at it! Rhodes and Wyatt's brawl spilled to the backstage area, the latter seemingly no longer part of this match! At that point, Triple H began to lose his cool, throwing a fit in the ring. Orton attempted to calm him down, but Hunter wasn't hearing any of it. "You don't f****** get it! My life is on the line! What does it matter if you lose?!" Triple H shouted at Orton. The two former Evolution members shouted at each other as Batista tried to play peacemaker. Hunter would then exit the ring and bring out a sledgehammer from underneath it. He handed it over to Batista, telling him to "take out" Orton. Batista stared at the sledgehammer for a bit, uncertain of what to do. "Did you not hear me?!? I said bash his brains in! We don't need him!" Triple H screamed before slapping Batista. At that moment, 'The Animal' responded by throwing the sledgehammer down and leaving the WarGames structure. "Batista is leaving this match!" Bradshaw said as Hunter yelled for his teammate to get back into the ring. Randy Orton would then follow suit, walking through the door with his back turned against Triple H. While Orton was walking, AJ Styles got to his feet, and turned him around, asking what he was doing. Instead of responding with any words, Orton planted Styles with an RKO onto the floor! Orton and Batista left together as the crowd cheered them on. Back in the ring, Triple H was the only member of The Committee left. Kane and Styles were down and out at ringside. Orton and Batista told Hunter to take The Committee and shove it. Bray Wyatt is brawling with Cody Rhodes somewhere in the arena. All six Uprising members stepped into the ring at the same time after Ambrose closed the door behind him. Hunter was surrounded by the six men that he tried to run out of the WWE. There was nowhere else for him to run now. Everyone who he depended on would not be there to defend him. Triple H was about to lose his position of power and he knew it. The 'King of Kings' was going to get everything that he deserved. With a blank facial expression, Triple H stood to his feet and charged towards Dean Ambrose, almost like a last ditch effort to fight off The Uprising. The six of them took Hunter down to the canvas, stomping and punching him repeatedly. "This isn't going to be pretty, but dammit, Triple H deserves every bit of this!" Cole yelled out on commentary. Hennig went out to ringside, bringing out a steel chair from underneath the ring. He placed it on Triple H's ankle as DiBiase positioned himself on the second turnbuckle. Hunter orchestrated the attack on Wrestling Royalty that forced them to relinquish the WWE Tag Team Championships at 377 days, and it was done in this exact fashion. DiBiase jumped off of the second turnbuckle, stepping on the steel chair and shattering Triple H's ankle. Hennig and DiBiase gave each other a quick hug as the crowd went wild, the duo finally getting revenge for themselves. Punk and Ziggler picked Hunter up to his feet, placing him on Barrett's shoulders. A few months back, Triple H watched as Ziggler was thrown off of the stage with a Triple Powerbomb from The Committee. Punk and Barrett themselves have been victims of the maneuver, and now, Hunter would be the one to receive it. The trio planted 'The Game' onto the mat before Punk climbed onto the second turnbuckle, beating his chest while shouting in victory. Chants of "Uprising" broke out at that point, the WWE Universe knowing that a win for the group was inevitable. Dean Ambrose then backed against a corner as Triple H tried to get to his feet, even with a broken ankle. One can only imagine what was going through Ambrose's mind. He was watching the man who put him through hell suffer at the hands of the stable that he helped establish. Every bit of torment that Ambrose had endured was finally going to be put behind him. The 'Lunatic Fringe' charged towards Triple H, connecting with a Boma Ye! Ambrose dropped to his knees and let out the biggest sigh of relief in his life. All that was left to do was cover Hunter and it would all be over. Ambrose, Punk, Barrett, Ziggler, Hennig and DiBiase collectively decided that they should all have the honor of putting Triple H away for good. The six of them placed one foot each on top of Hunter, the official making the most satisfying three count of the night. THE UPRISING DEFEAT THE COMMITTEE!
"It's over! The Uprising have won the war and Triple H is out of power!" shouted Michael Cole on commentary. The six Uprising members hugged each other in the ring over Triple H's motionless body that had just been put through hell in the closing moments of this WarGames match. The structure began to raise, symbolizing the end of the agony for The Uprising. Ambrose, Punk, Barrett, Ziggler and Wrestling Royalty raised each other's arms as the Staples Center continued to go wild. Finally, The Committee has been laid to rest! Triple H is no longer in power and The Uprising have won the war!

- Quite the impressive Panel you have here with Renee Young, Corey Graves, Christian and Rey Mysterio especially Rey considering last year his career ended at SummerSlam because it was Rey's last match against Sin Cara but it is always great to see Rey like always as they are going over tonight's card specifically Angle/Lesnar considering it is Angle's final match in WWE as he calls it a career, Angle is a first ballot WWE Hall of Famer should Angle go into the WWE Hall of Fame but who will induct Angle into the WWE Hall of Fame? I can already see it now Angle's WWE Hall of Fame speech which I am sure will be a tear jerker but Angle definitely deserves to headline his own HOF class and I loved the video package too honoring Angle's career showing the best moments of his career because there are so many
- Tyson Kidd with the biggest win of his career by far being a multi-time WWE/World Heavyweight Champion in Y2J Chris Jericho who is a future first ballot WWE Hall of Famer and Kidd beats Jericho with an impressive move, a Tiger Driver from the top rope, that was a thing of beauty absolute thing of beauty I figured that Kidd would have locked in the Sharpshooter on Jericho to make him tap out which would have been so embarrassing for Jericho especially to tap out to the Sharpshooter but I loved Jericho using the Hart Family's own move against Kidd because I would have thought that Kidd would have tapped out but he didn't and Kidd beating Jericho has to be considered an upset in my book but it is like Kidd he has been on a roll ever since WWE Payback when he beat his now ex-wife Natalya but yes I do have to wonder what is next for Tyson Kidd after this? Perhaps a run with either the WWE Intercontinental Championship or the WWE United States Championship
- The Uprising are all business tonight, perhaps in the biggest match of their careers, if they lose Vince McMahon the Chairman of this company is no longer the Chairman of the WWE and Triple H becomes the new Chairman of the WWE but if they win Triple H is gone for good he is out of power but The Uprising tonight the pressure is on for them that's for sure
- Cody Rhodes successfully retaining his WWE Championship against The Committee's Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes beats his former Legacy brethren his former Legacy teammate and mentor for the 2nd straight SummerSlam in a row, last year Rhodes won the 2012 King of the Ring tournament to become #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship and beat the then-World Heavyweight Champion Orton at SummerSlam in the main event to become World Heavyweight Champion and now fast forward a year later role reversal Rhodes is the champion specifically the WWE Champion and Orton was the #1 Contender but Rhodes beats Orton for the second straight year in a row, Rhodes ever since becoming WWE Champion he has proven that he is a fighting champion but also he just continues to take on all comers and finds way to win...but I am sure this can't make Triple H or the rest of Team Committee very happy considering Orton has double duty tonight considering he is in the WarGames Match, Team Committee vs Team Uprising but still Rhodes using his former rival Kurt Angle's own move the Angle Slam on Orton, what a move for Cody to use on Orton bet Orton wasn't counting on that
- AJ Styles really wants to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase now doesn't he? Triple H trying to get some composure here with his men but I don't see how considering Orton just lost to Cody Rhodes but Styles I mean does he forget that Cody Rhodes is not the only champion in WWE? Styles could cash in his briefcase on the World Heavyweight Champion he could cash in on either Daniel Bryan or on Seth Rollins, almost like AJ Styles forgets that there is more than one World Title
- Loved the other moment of Angle becoming WWE Champion at Unforgiven 2001 when he beat Stone Cold Steve Austin to become WWE Champion especially in Angle's home state in his hometown of Pittsburgh, I fully remember that and it has to be one of if not the greatest moment in Angle's career by far
- NXT Showcase, Kevin Owens defeating his former best friend now turned bitter rival Sami Zayn, I mean after this Owens I can definitely see him setting his sights now on the WWE NXT Championship all be it that Tyler Breeze is WWE NXT Champion right now but I don't think Owens cares because the only thing he cares about is himself I mean he literally just destroyed the man who was as close to him like a brother and now that Owens has done that he will either set his sights on the NXT Championship or Owens will instead jump over on to the main roster instead which I can definitely see him doing that because let's face it Owens he doesn't really need NXT anymore hell he never ever did in my opinion and he deserves to be in the big leagues feuding with higher calibre superstars not having to reduce himself to being in NXT which in my opinion is the minor leagues
- Paige somehow overcoming the odds beating not 1 but 2 divas beating the WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez of The Committee, I would say that Paige got her revenge on Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez but now that she has, Paige gets the woman who she has wanted to get her hands on for so long that being one of the Principal Owners of WWE that being Stephanie McMahon, Paige gets Stephanie in a match, this is great and it appears this match is going to happen right here right now at SummerSlam, I just figured that this match would happen at WrestleMania 30 in this diary not here at SummerSlam so Paige now has to compete in 2 matches essentially I mean she just went through a gruelling Handicap Match and now she has to face Stephanie I mean what kind of condition is Paige really in?
- Just as Paige is about to be attacked by both Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez, AJ Lee makes a shocking return here at SummerSlam and evens up the odds for Paige chasing off Kaitlyn and Sofia, this match is going to be one on one
- Paige got her revenge on both Kaitlyn the WWE Divas Champion and on Sofia Cortez but in the process she loses her match against Stephanie McMahon, I just figured Stephanie would win this match all be it under controversial circumstances I just would have expected Paige to get her revenge but it doesn't matter Stephanie comes out on top and now that she has, I can already see it now, SummerSlam being one of if not the darkest day in WWE history now that Stephanie has won I can just see it now, Team Committee winning and Triple H becoming the new Chairman of the Board becoming the new Chairman of WWE which will no doubt go down in WWE's history as being the darkest day
- But I can see AJ Lee getting her revenge on Stephanie, Stephanie McMahon vs AJ Lee with that match happening at WrestleMania 30 with Stephanie competing in only her second match in a very long time but I definitely see that happening or being built up for Mania considering Paige had her chance at Stephanie and lost but I can see AJ getting a match with Stephanie
- Cody Rhodes the WWE Champion being attacked from behind backstage by Bray Wyatt, I figured not only considering their history with each other but also Rhodes beat Wyatt for the WWE Championship on a RAW episode ending Bray Wyatt's title reign and Wyatt he has never gotten his one on one rematch with Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship but I wonder if after this attack if somehow Cody Rhodes will get involved in the Team Uprising vs Team Committee WarGames Match later on tonight in the main event?
- Rollins the 2013 King of the Ring winner and WWE Intercontinental Champion becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion beating Daniel Bryan, Rollins did what he said he was going to do and that is beat Daniel Bryan right in the middle of that ring and he did just that, wow what a match honestly what a match and as a wrestling fan man this match was not only so back and forth and so evenly matched all the way throughout but honestly either man could have won this match that is how close it was but this match for me definitely steals the show by far, Rollins makes history here tonight essentially becoming a double champion a dual champion he not only retains his WWE Intercontinental Championship he essentially becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion too in the process this was Winner Takes All and Rollins won this match I would say Rollins has capped off his year in fine fashion I mean wow is all I have to say
- Now that Rollins is now the WWE Intercontinental Champion and now the new World Heavyweight Champion he not only has made history here tonight at SummerSlam he definitely has to be up for Superstar of the Year as far as the Slammy Awards are concerned I mean and to think just one year ago in this diary he was the WWE NXT Champion and now fast forward a year later wins the WWE Intercontinental Championship, wins the 2013 King of the Ring tournament to become #1 Contender and then here at SummerSlam becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion I have to wonder what is next for Rollins? Better yet what is next for Daniel Bryan? I am sure Bryan has a rematch clause and if he does I can see him invoking that at Night of Champions which is your next PPV if I am not mistaken
- WWE/NXT Unison is quite an impressive show, all 3 brands essentially, RAW, Smackdown and NXT all competing together in unison, that means we can see superstars of all 3 shows competing against each other in matches that we would not ordinarily see which makes for an interesting show nonetheless
- Loved Bray Wyatt taking pot shots at his Team Committee teammates specifically Triple H and Kane, I mean Bray Wyatt has history with both Triple H and Kane specifically but at the same time how can any of the Team Committee members trust Bray Wyatt especially when it comes to this WarGames Match? Bray Wyatt if he had it his way he would stab each and every one of his teammates in the back leaving them to fend for themselves because let's face it Bray Wyatt he is not really a team player he does things for himself to suit his own purposes and I am sure Bray cares more about being WWE Champion then he does being in this match
- Del Rio doing the impossible doing the unthinkable being the first man in WWE to give Rusev his first loss, Rusev is no longer undefeated in WWE and that is thanks to Del Rio, Del Rio was not only fighting for himself but he was fighting for his family but also for all of Mexico here in this LA Street Fight against Rusev and this wasn't even a match this was a straight up fight a fight to the finish and Rey Mysterio, Del Rio's fellow Mexican I am sure must be proud of his countryman right now hell Sin Cara he must be proud of Del Rio too but I have to wonder where Del Rio goes from here? Hell I have to wonder where Rusev and Lana both go from here?
- Lesnar stays undefeated this year and ever since Brock has come back to WWE he essentially has been on a roll Lesnar wins here at SummerSlam beating Angle in Angle's last match I mean this was probably one of the most emotional matches on the card but also one of the most personal matches too on this card, Angle fought for everything gave it his all in this match but it wasn't enough as Lesnar proving just why he is called The Beast Incarnate beating Angle with not one but 2 F5s in this match, now that Angle is pretty much done his career is over all I have to say is thank you Angle, thank you for the memories but also thank you for the wonderful career you gave us here in WWE and you will definitely be a Hall of Famer now that your career is over
- But as for Brock Lesnar now that he has ended the career of Kurt Angle, I have to wonder what is next for The Beast? I can see Brock Lesnar setting his sights on the WWE Championship and considering Cody Rhodes is WWE Champion I can see Lesnar setting his sights on Cody Rhodes I mean it is only inevitable that Brock sets his sights on the title
- The Rock returning here at SummerSlam, this is great, could SummerSlam not get any better than this? I mean the last time we saw Rock was at WrestleMania 29 in this diary when he faced both CM Punk and John Cena in the Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship and now that Rock is back here at SummerSlam it makes sense considering we are in Hollywood and Rock is a box office Hollywood attraction he has movies and now that Rock is here who interrupts him of all people? The WWE NXT Champion Tyler Breeze I definitely was not expecting that that's for sure but The Rock more or less making Tyler Breeze pay for interrupting him by laying him out with the Rock Bottom I would have thought that Rock would have laid Breeze out too with the People's Elbow to boot, that should teach Breeze a thing or two about trying to disrespect The Rock but I loved The Rock addressing his cousin his blood Roman Reigns because Rock he knows first hand what it's like to be in the ring with John Cena and I am sure Rock he must have told his cousin Roman what he's in for
- Rollins he says on RAW tomorrow night he has a history making announcement I can only imagine just what he has in store for all of us I mean considering now he is not only WWE Intercontinental Champion he is also the new World Heavyweight Champion he makes history tonight being a dual champion and now tomorrow night on RAW he has another announcement I can only imagine just what it is
- Roman Reigns with the biggest win in his career beating John Cena, this match is another show stealer that's for sure I mean considering we have seen Cena pull out moves that we have never have seen him pull out before I mean this just proves that Cena really can wrestle after all that he is one of the greats of all time I mean wow I can't say that I am not surprised because I am I mean seriously Cena took it to Reigns but Reigns took it to Cena even more I mean this was a back and forth match Reigns spearing Cena not once but twice hitting a Superman Punch to boot and all just to beat Cena to put him down like that even using one of Cena's own moves against him to try to beat him but that didn't work but Reigns in the end ultimately getting the job done I would say Reigns ever since he has turned heel he has essentially proven that not only is he better than John Cena but that we could be looking at the future "man" of this business we could be looking at the future face of our company we could be looking at the man who could be the new poster boy of the WWE and his name is Roman Reigns
- But I have to wonder what is next for Roman Reigns? Better yet what is next for John Cena?
- Team Uprising has done it, Team Uprising did it they did it, Triple H is out of power I am so damn happy so happy that Triple H is gone for good, now that Triple H is out of power so is his wife Stephanie too but Cody Rhodes showing up and interfering on Team Uprising's behalf with Wyatt meeting him and them fighting all the way to the back with Bray Wyatt leaving the match, now it is 6 on 5, Kane ends up getting taken out and now it is essentially 6 on 4...Triple H seems to be losing control of his team and Triple H essentially makes things worse for himself by arguing with his fellow teammates specifically Orton with Batista trying to play peacemaker between the 2 of them
- Triple H obviously didn't take too kindly to that as he tells Batista to take out Orton with the sledgehammer as he screams at Batista to hit Orton with the sledgehammer even going as far as to slapping Batista, Batista is going to take the slap, I would have expected Batista to snap on Triple H and hit Triple H with the sledgehammer but he leaves the structure leaving Triple H turning his back on Triple H, it is essentially 6 on 3 but wait Orton walks out on Triple H too and just when Styles is about to talk to Orton, Orton RKOs AJ Styles outside the WarGames structure out on the floor, it is now 6 on 2, Triple H and AJ Styles are essentially left all alone with all 6 of Team Uprising's members that being Punk, Barrett, DiBiase, Hennig, Ambrose and Ziggler but since Styles was taken out by Orton Triple H has no help he has no back-up it is 6 on 1
- Ambrose closes the door and now Triple H is locked inside the WarGames structure with all 6 of Team Uprising's members, Triple H is finally going to get what's coming to him and I am loving every second of this, Triple H is still fighting I mean he should just try to beg here, plead here for his life I mean seriously trying to fight off 6 men on your own is probably the dumbest move he could ever make like live to fight another day
- Team Uprising are beating the holy hell out of Triple H and no one is coming to help him no one is coming to his rescue and Triple H has no one to blame but himself, Triple H's ankle gets shattered by Wrestling Royalty (DiBiase & Hennig) and Triple H gets a Triple Powerbomb from Barrett, Punk and Ziggler with Ambrose putting the exclamation point on it by hitting Triple H with a Boma Ye, Triple H is not only beaten and battered but now he is a broken man as all of Team Uprising pin him all 6 men pinning him in the ring 1...2..3 to send all of us home happy, I love it, probably the greatest day in WWE history hands down Triple H is gone he's out of here couldn't happen to a more deserving son of a bitch

- Love the Night of Champions poster as it showcases all of WWE's champions on the poster that being the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, the WWE Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, the WWE United States Champion Neville, the WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn and the WWE Tag Team Champions Paul Heyman's clients Cesaro & Ohno because all of these champions have to defend their titles at Night of Champions since Night of Champions every title is on the line
- Now that the WarGames Match is over, the Chairman of the Board the Chairman of WWE Vince McMahon I am sure he will be making an appearance on RAW tomorrow night and if and when he does I can see him personally firing his son-in-law Triple H as COO of this company with Triple H no longer being the COO of WWE and Vince also firing his own daughter Stephanie from his company but Triple H and Stephanie I can see them being in attendance for RAW tomorrow night because it will be their last appearance in a WWE ring so I can see them saying good bye to the WWE Universe but the WWE Universe we are finally rid of Triple H and Stephanie because not only are they out of power but they now no longer have jobs in the WWE now because I am sure Vince will make sure of that
- But The Committee is no more, they are no longer a stable and I can finally say that now boy does it feel good to be free, free at last free at last, Triple H has a broken ankle I am sure Triple H won't be able to walk, a broken spirit considering his team lost his career is essentially over but now I can see him addressing his Committee team members after this loss by that I mean he addresses every single one of them including AJ Styles Mr. Money in the Bank but I am sure Derrick Bateman he was watching SummerSlam from wherever he is now and I am sure that he is happy that Triple H and Stephanie are no longer in power that they no longer have jobs just like I am sure every superstar in the back is happy
- But I can just see it now, Triple H and Stephanie fired with Vince allowing them to meet Triple H's and Stephanie's new replacement the new COO of WWE, Stephanie's own brother Vince's son Shane as the new COO of WWE, Shane making a shocking return to WWE or Stephanie's mother Triple H's mother-in-law Vince's wife Linda as the new COO of WWE
- But where is Sin Cara? I mean Sin Cara in this diary you were grooming him to be the next Rey Mysterio of this diary and I mean we haven't seen Sin Cara in this diary in a really long time unless you are grooming someone else to be the next Rey Mysterio of this diary someone like Kalisto?

Let's just get this out of the way. This was my face during Summerslam: The Kickoff Show was fun and dandy, but I'm sure Kev hated the length. He hates long Kickoff Shows cuz Kev. Tyson Kidd beating Chris Jericho was obviously for the best, I see him being a potential Intercontinental or United States Champion in the near future. Seeing the WWE Championship match starting things off at first threw me off, but I like how it ties back to last year and it is a big card, so starting off with it was fine. Cody Rhodes retaining was obviously for the best. Owens and Zayn getting the NXT shine was something I dug when it was announced, seeing Owens get the win was good for him and maybe you'll call him up soon, even though he hasn't been around too long. Paige getting over Sofia and Kaitlyn was fun, setting her up to face Stephanie McMahon immediately afterward. Crazy sh*t galore, but it is a Ryan Diva's match so I wasn't surprised. Stephanie hitting a Pedigree on the chair was brute. What a bitch. Next up, we get the much anticipated battle between Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan with Rollins getting the huge victory. Is the IC Title done? A WWE-NXT crossover show? Unison? Color me intrigued, but not pink. I'm not a pink fan. Or P!nk, for that matter. Good warm up from The Committee's team... weird to see Bray in a more realistic setting in the office of The Committee. Finally, we get a bit of a break to the show and I am shocked that Alberto Del Rio got the win over Rusev! Clearly you're not going to run the undefeated streak of Rusev, but maybe this will light a big fire under him to be even more destructive. Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle go to battle for Angle's final match, with Brock basically dominating. Humbling way for Angle to go out. You gave him quite a good final run... Whoa, talk about uplifting the crowd with The Rock! The bore NXT Champion Tyler Breeze interrupts. I don't like Breeze. I think I've made that clear to many now... good showcasing for him getting a moment with The Rock, though, and it definitely would've lifted some spirits in the crowd after Angle's sad departure. Rollins has something to say that'll change things forever? Hm. Color me intrigued. Not pink, though. Wait, I already said this... Roman Reigns going over John Cena was necessary to make Reigns look good, the anti-Cena thing is great for him thus far and I know you don't like him so much, but I hope you give him something good. He's good enough and over enough to have a solid career, even if it means he doesn't get the title ASAP. Finally, we get War Games. Brutal stuff as we could have expected, having HHH cuss out Orton was grand stuff even if it was maybe too much. Who am I kidding? That's nothing compared to the Last Diva Standing fiasco. Anyway, The Uprising getting the victory was huge and I liked seeing Ambrose beat HHH in the end. The Uprising won the war, you say, but something tells me that this isn't over... a grand event, comes as no surprise. I don't know what you were talking about when you said some people wouldn't like a certain decision somewhere, by the way. I think all was right. Once again, I give you this:

Not even 24 hours ago at SummerSlam, The Uprising defeated The Committee in WarGames, officially removing Triple H from his position of power in World Wrestling Entertainment. Hunter will be allowed to keep an office job at WWE Headquarters, but effective immediately, he will no longer have an influence on the day-to-day operations of the company. WWE.com has learned that Mr. McMahon has already selected a replacement for Triple H, waiting until Monday Night RAW goes on the air tonight to introduce the world to the 'WWE Commissioner.' The unknown Commissioner, however, has already made two huge announcements regarding Night of Champions next month on the WWE Network and Pay-Per-View.
After their victory in WarGames last night, the six Uprising members have been "rewarded" by the new Commissioner with opportunities to capture gold at Night of Champions. What was initially a one-on-one match between Cody Rhodes and Bray Wyatt for the WWE Championship has become the return of one of the most diabolical structures known to man, the Elimination Chamber. Rhodes and Wyatt will be joined by CM Punk, Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose as the six of them compete for the WWE Title on September 15th at Night of Champions.
For the other two members of The Uprising, Wrestling Royalty, their sights are not on the WWE Championship. Instead, Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig are hungry to regain the titles that they set the record for with the longest reign at 377 days. The titles that they were never defeated for, the WWE Tag Team Champions. The new WWE Commissioner has granted Wrestling Royalty what Triple H refused to, and at Night of Champions, they will step into the ring against Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno for the coveted WWE Tag Team Championships.

2 big Championship matches set for Night of Champions and they both look really good
Elimination Chamber for the WWE Championship with Rhodes (c) defending his WWE Championship against Wyatt, Ziggler, Ambrose, Punk and Barrett, Rhodes only has a 16.66666% chance of retaining his title inside the Chamber and especially against 5 other guys he is at a disadvantage not to mention after the Chamber Match AJ Styles could cash in his briefcase on whoever walks out of the Chamber as WWE Champion
WWE Tag Team Championship, Cesaro & Ohno (c) w/Paul Heyman vs Wrestling Royalty (DiBiase & Hennig), the current champions taking on the longest reigning champions in WWE history the former Champions finally getting their rematch for the titles they never even lost but had to surrender, I can't wait for this one
So happy Triple H is no longer the COO of this company so happy his job was taken away from him because now he gets to be an office exec only but a simple desk job, HAAAAAAAAA so then I wonder about Stephanie too? I wonder if she too will have a desk job? Either way I can't wait to see just who the new Commissioner of WWE is

Following the signature WWE intro, a video package was shown featuring still images from last night's historic SummerSlam event on the WWE Network and Pay-Per-View. Headlines from the Staples Center included Cody Rhodes defeating Randy Orton to retain the WWE Championship. Kevin Owens managed to defeat Sami Zayn in NXT's first-ever Pay-Per-View match. Paige overcame Sofia Cortez and the Divas Champion, Kaitlyn, only to be defeated by Stephanie McMahon afterwards. Seth Rollins is now a dual champion, holding both the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Champions. Alberto Del Rio did the unthinkable, defeating Rusev and ending his undefeated streak. Kurt Angle was 'conquered' by Brock Lesnar in the final match of his career. The Rock and the NXT Champion, Tyler Breeze, met each other in an in-ring segment that saw 'Prince Pretty' eat a Rock Bottom for his troubles. Roman Reigns gained the biggest win of his career against John Cena. Lastly, in the biggest match up in SummerSlam history, The Uprising defeated The Committee, officially removing Triple H from his position as the WWE COO. The complexion of World Wrestling Entertainment changed forever at SummerSlam, and things will never be the same again.
Cutting to the arena here in Anaheim, California, Justin Roberts introduced the Chairman of the Board, Mr. McMahon. Vince made his way down to the ring, strutting with more enthusiasm than usual after witnessing The Uprising come out of the WarGames match victorious, meaning that Triple H no longer has control over RAW and SmackDown. Once in the ring, Vince stated that in just one match last night at SummerSlam, the WWE has been changed forever. "No longer will Triple H and The Committee come out here every week and antagonize the Superstars and Divas because effective as of last night, Hunter is no longer the COO of World Wrestling Entertainment!" Vince said to a great response from the live audience. He continued on, saying that not only is Triple H bound to an office job in Stamford now, but from the looks of things, The Committee is over and done with. "It's the dawn of a new era in WWE, and one that will be led by a Commissioner who I have personally appointed. So, without further ado, allow me to introduce to the WWE Universe its brand new Commissioner....."
"CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA?!" At the sound of that classic intro, the audience came unglued as Booker T made his way out to the stage, wearing an appropriate suit to go along with his new position. "The five-time WCW Champion is now the WWE Commissioner!" John Bradshaw Layfield stated as Booker stepped into the ring, shaking hands with Vince McMahon. Vince handed his microphone over to Booker before leaving the ring, allowing the new Commissioner the opportunity to address the WWE Universe alone. "Just 24 hours ago, all of us were still working under the leadership of Triple H, a man who did more damage to this company than anyone could have ever imagined. Just like everyone in the locker room and watching out of the world, I was beyond excited when The Uprising came out of WarGames with the win. When I arrived to the arena earlier today, I was told that Mr. McMahon wanted to speak with me. I walked into his office and he wasted no time asking if I would like to take the position as Commissioner in the WWE. And what was my response?" Booker stated as he took off his glasses. ".... Tell me you didn't just say that?! Mr. McMahon, Chairman of the WWE, wants me, the FIVE TIME! FIVE TIME! FIVE TIME! FIVE TIME! FIVE TIME! WCW Champion to take over as the new Commissioner?! As much as I couldn't believe what I was hearing, you better believe that I didn't take any time to hesitate accepting Mr. McMahon's offer!" After that, Booker said that in his first act as the Commissioner, he made two matches official for Night of Champions. "If you don't already know by now, the six members of The Uprising who won the WarGames match will have the opportunity to capture some gold at Night of Champions! Wrestling Royalty, the two men who were never defeated for the WWE Tag Team Championships, are going to go up against Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno with the titles on the line. And in the main event, the Elimination Chamber match will be returning! And inside of the diabolical structure will be Bray Wyatt, CM Punk, Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship!"
"Booker T is in charge now, and as Mr. McMahon put it, it is the dawn of a new era in the-" before Booker could finish his address, he was interrupted by the sound of Ryback's entrance music. Ryback stepped into the ring, introducing himself to Booker T. "Booker, you're absolutely right when you that a new era is upon us, and who better to usher in that era than the man standing right before you at this very second. 'The Big Guy!' You know what would be the perfect start to your reign as WWE Commissioner? Granting me a rematch against that pipsqeauke, Adrian Neville, for the United States Championship." Booker told Ryback that while he admires his confidence in coming out here, he lost to Neville last week. "But, Ryback, you just happen to be in luck because I've arranged for a four man tournament to begin right here tonight on RAW. The winner will go on to Night of Champions to meet Adrian Neville for the United States Championship, and dawg, you're in it," Booker announced as Ryback let out a villainous chuckle. "And you know what else? Your match is taking place right now!" Booker added, which caught Ryback off guard as the 'Big Guy' claimed that he wasn't prepared for a match right then and there. That didn't matter as the new entrance music of Alberto Del Rio hit to a thunderous ovation. Del Rio made his way down to the ring, shaking Booker T's hand on his way there. A four man tournament to determine the number one contender for the United States Championship begins right now with a match between Ryback and the man who ended Rusev's undefeated streak at SummerSlam, Alberto Del Rio!
ALBERTO DEL RIO DEF. RYBACK TO ADVANCE TO THE FINALS OF THE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS TOURNAMENT: As announced moments ago by the new WWE Commissioner, Booker T, this was the first match in a four man tournament where the winner will challenge Adrian Neville for the United States Championship at Night of Champions. The crowd and momentum were both on Alberto Del Rio's side, making it easy for him to be put Ryback away by forcing the 'Big Guy' to submit for the very first time in his career to the Cross Armbreaker. At the sound of the closing bell, Alberto Del Rio released the Cross Armbreaker as he was declared the winner via submission. The audience roared with excitement as Del Rio celebrated his victory, continuing what might be the biggest roll of his career. "Last night, Alberto Del Rio did the unthinkable by pinning Rusev in the middle of that ring. Tonight, he made Ryback tap out! Del Rio is one match away from becoming the number one contender for the United States Championship and he looks to be unbeatable right about now!" John Bradshaw Layfield said, genuinely excited for the recent success of his former God's Gifts stablemate.
Returning to Monday Night RAW, the commentary trio recapped everything that has transpired so far here tonight, including Booker T being named the new WWE Commissioner, as well as Alberto Del Rio advancing to the Finals of a United States Championship number one contenders tournament. Michael Cole informed everyone of two huge announcements that he learned of during the commercial break. As it pertains to the second match tonight in the United States Championship number one contenders tournament, we will see a rematch from the SummerSlam Kickoff Show as Tyson Kidd goes one-on-one with Chris Jericho. And in tonight's main event, CM Punk takes on Bray Wyatt in a match that we believed we were going to see a number of weeks ago when the WWE Universe voted Punk into a WWE Championship match. "All that and much more on this historic edition of RAW where we will hear from Kurt Angle one final time before he officially calls it a career," Jerry Lawler added in a somber tone.
The entrance music of John Cena hit to his usual mixed reaction from the WWE Universe. Cena made his way out to the stage, looking out into the crowd while encouraging them to present him with whatever response they see fit. "California! Thanks for all the love you've shown us these past few days! We'll see you again next year at SummerSlam!" Cena said to the camera before running down to the ring. After taking a microphone from ringside, Cena said that it doesn't even feel like it's been ten years since he was considered a 'rookie' on the rise in WWE. "Everyone who's been with me for the whole ride knows that I was at one point a punk kid who thought that he was better than everyone else. And whenever I stepped up to the plate against big dogs like Brock Lesnar, Eddie Guerrero, The Undertaker and Kurt Angle, what happened? I got my ass handed to me! I had to learn the hard way that it takes time, patience, dedication and hard work to make a name for yourself in WWE. And those who truly belong here will leave their mark. Fast forward to the present day and the roles are a bit different. I'm now considered to be the big dog that everyone is trying to use to a name for themselves. Playing the role of the 'punk kid' is a man who wasn't only born into this business. but also born to be in it. If you didn't know who he was before last night, you definitely know him now. His name is Roman Reigns," Cena said as a reaction of mostly boos emerged for the mention of Reigns. "What took me multiple matches to accomplish, Reigns did it in one shot. He beat the big dog. Just about Speared me in half and pinned me one, two, three, just like he said he would. Despite what I think about Reigns on a personal level, he proved me wrong professionally. Reigns, I know you're back there listening. I want you to come out to this ring, look me in the eye and accept my handshake. You deserve this," Cena said as he awaited the arrival of the 'One Man Army.' Reigns' entrance music would soon hit, but there was no physical sign of him. Soon, however, Reigns appeared on the titantron from the parking lot area with his bags. "John, I've got a lot of things that I could say right now. I'll start by letting everyone know why I'm not out there right now. Simply put, I showed up to the arena and found out that I'm not scheduled for a match tonight. So now, I'm trying to get the hell out of Anaheim and back home to Pensacola," Reigns stated to some heat from the crowd. "But before I go, I wanted to make sure that you understand who you're talking to, John. You call me out to shake your hand and say that I deserve it? Since when did your sign of approval become some sort of prestigious honor? 'You deserve it?' You know what I do deserve, though? Everything that you have, John. The fame. The money. The notoriety. I deserve all of it because I'm better than you in every sense of the word. I'm a better wrestler than you. I'm a better entertainer than you. I'm damn sure better looking than you. And I have a better grip on reality. You stand there and say that you're the big dog and I'm the punk kid. You've got it all wrong, John. I'M the big dog that runs the WWE, and you're the old, washed up canine who used to matter. Now, you're nothing more than a fragment of the past and I solidified that when I beat your ass last night at SummerSlam. Every John Cena t-shirt available for sale right now won't be there in a few months. Neither will all of the corny hats, wirstbands, action figures or whatever else this company thought would be marketable. Everything John Cena will soon be replaced by everything Roman Reigns. I'm not close to taking your spot, John. I am taking it! Believe that!"
SOFIA CORTEZ W/ DIVAS CHAMPION KAITLYN DEF. AJ LEE: After Sofia Cortez and the Divas Champion, Kaitlyn, were defeated Paige last night at SummerSlam, it was AJ Lee who made her return to prevent the two former Committee members from aiding Stephanie McMahon. AJ still looks for revenge as she battled Sofia. AJ had the opening towards the end of the bout to hit Sofia with a Shining Wizard, but the chance to get back at Kaitlyn also caught her attention. Going with the latter, AJ launched herself out of the ring with a Suicide Dive onto the Divas Champion. She slid back into the ring, only to be caught with a Roundhouse Kick. Sofia ran the ropes and set AJ up for a Wheelbarrow DDT, planting her onto her head to get the victory. Kaitlyn joined Sofia in the ring as she raised her arm in victory, the two once again getting the better of AJ. "Paige has not been seen or heard from since losing to Stephanie McMahon at SummerSlam last night. With her out of the picture and AJ battling odds that she can't overcome, Kaitlyn and Sofia Cortez could be running the Divas division for a long time to come," said John Bradshaw Layfield.
Backstage, the brand new WWE Commissioner, Booker T, was shown in his office when Mr. Money in the Bank, AJ Styles, came barging in. ".... So, this is who the idiots over in Stamford decided would be a suitable replacement for Triple H? You listen to me, Booker. I don't want to work for you, and I'm sure that you don't want to employ me, but we're both here so as long as you can meet my demands, I don't think we'll have any issues. For example, Randy Orton and Batista turned their backs on The Committee last night. I'm the only member from the WarGames team here who is willing to do anything about those traitors. What you're going to give me is a match against one of them tonight, and the other next week," demanded Styles. Booker, however, had a different idea. "I see where you're coming from, Styles. You want revenge against your boys for not actually being your boys. I feel you on that, but I've got something else in mind. How about we kill two birds with one stone. Tonight, you will take on both Randy Orton AND Batista in a Handicap match!" Booker announced as the WWE Universe responded with approval. AJ Styles, on the other hand, was outraged with the decision, telling Booker that it's this kind of management that will leave him unemployed sooner than later.
A graphic was shown for the celebration of Seth Rollins, who now holds the World Heavyweight Championship along with the Intercontinental Championship. Rollins will make what is said to be a historic announcement, next on RAW!
Returning from the commercial break, the entrance music of Seth Rollins hit as the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Champion made his way out to the stage, both title hanging over his shoulders. He raised up the two pieces of hold before heading down to the ring for what he has said to be an announcement that will change the WWE forever. "Before I make my monumental announcement, I do have something that I want to say to everyone here tonight. It's the same thing that I said after I beat Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam last night. I... told... you... so. I TOLD YOU SO! None of you believed that I had a chance at walking out of the Staples Center as a dual champion. Even with Daniel Bryan not at a 100%, the entire WWE Universe thought that their little hero would prevail and ride off into the sunset while shouting, 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' For everyone out there who can't stand the sight of me holding two championships, take this as a learning experience - you can't always get what you want," Rollins before laughing villainously. "I now have two titles in my possession, and while it's a great feeling to be a dual champion, let me remind everyone what I have said time and time again. The night after WrestleMania, I defeated Chris Jericho to become the Intercontinental Championship. I said that I would restore this title's prestige and be recognized as the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time. I didn't want to defeat Daniel Bryan so that I could become World Heavyweight Champion. I wanted to beat him, well, because I just can't stand the guy or his little 'Yes Movement' for one. But above all else, I wanted to become World Champion in order to better the image of the Intercontinental Championship." After Rollins said that, he called one of the ringside workers over, handing him the World Title. "24 hours ago, I had two championships. Now, I only have one. In case no other Intercontinental Champion before me noticed, this title reads 'Intercontinental Heavyweight Wrestling Champion.' Ladies and gentlemen, from this moment on, that is what you will all refer to me as. I am YOUR Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion! I said that I would bring prestige back to this title, and now thanks to me, this is a World Championship. One more time for those who weren't paying attention. Seth Rollins is the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion!" Rollins raised the gold in the air, officially unifying the two titles. No longer is he the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championships. Rollins is now the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion.
Returning to Monday Night RAW, a recap of Seth Rollins' "historic" announcement was shown as he revealed that he would be unifying the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championships into one title, the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. "Good for Seth! He said that he was going to be remembered as the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time, and because of him, the Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Championships are one! That feat alone, in my opinion, puts him in the discussion for greatest Intercontinental Champions of all-time. Or as we all should be saying now, the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship!" John Bradshaw Layfield commented. Jerry Lawler noted that while this was indeed a historic announcement from Seth Rollins, this doesn't change the situation regarding Daniel Bryan's rematch clause. "If the World Heavyweight Championship is now the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, Daniel Bryan is still entitled to a rematch. At some point soon, Seth Rollins' own creation might no longer be his," Lawler added.
WRESTLING ROYALTY DEF. HEATH SLATER & JINDER MAHAL: With Triple H and The Committee finally out of their way, Wrestling Royalty look ahead to Night of Champions on September 15th, where they will have the chance to regain the WWE Tag Team Championships that they never properly lost. A victory over 3MB as a result of Dream Street to Jinder Mahal gave Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig the momentum. As Wrestling Royalty celebrated their victory, they were interrupted by the arrival of Paul Heyman and the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno. "Let me be the first to say that the WWE Tag Team Title match at Night of Champions will be one that I feel privileged to be able to watch from ringside. The greatest tag team that the WWE has seen in years. Quite possibly the best of this generation. 377 days the two of you held the Tag Team Championships and defending them with honor. No team could dethrone you guys, and you know what? No one did. It's a shame that the desperation of Triple H to get the titles onto Committee members is what ended such a monumental reign and believe me. I want nothing more than to see Wrestling Royalty at the top of the mountain once again.... but it won't happen at Night of Champions. That's because you two have to step into that very ring against two of the most gifted competitors in sports entertainment today. Holding one championship is the man who will take your head off with just one shot from his elbow that was chiseled out of stone! 'That Young Knockout Kid,' Kassius Ohno! And holding the other championship is pound for pound the strongest WWE superstar! The 'King of Swing,' Antonio Cesaro! These two fine gentlemen are at the top of their game and cannot be stopped by anybody. And let's be honest for a second here. This is practically uncharted territory for you two. The last time Wrestling Royalty challenged for the WWE Tag Team Championships was on April 3rd, 2012, which was day number 1 out of 377. A year and a half ago was the last time you two stood on the opposite side of the ring in a championship match. You both know what it's like to be the champions.... but I bet you've forgotten what it's like to be the challengers. On September 15th, Cesaro and Ohno will gladly remind you what it feels like." Heyman placed his microphone down onto the stage as Cesaro and Ohno raised the WWE Tag Team Titles, Ted DiBiase and Joe Hennig looking on at the titles that they were never defeated for.
Backstage, Tom Philips was standing by with the trio of The Miz, Damien Sandow and Big E Langston, collectively known as The Awesome Entourage. While Tom was asking his question, Miz cut him off and took the microphone for himself. "This isn't the time for you to ask me meaningless questions, Tom. This is the time for me, the 'Money Maker,' to get some things off my chest," Miz said as Tom left the picture. "Listen to me. How dare, HOW DARE all of you out there disrespect me? The 'Biggest Party of the Summer,' SummerSlam, hosted in my backyard of Los Angeles.... and I wasn't even on the card? Really?! Really?! The WWE Universe should have rallied behind me and boycotted SummerSlam! '#WeWantMiz' should have been a trending topic all day! Even to this very second, my name should be plastered on every social media platform! I was in the main event of WrestleMania 27 against John Cena for the WWE Championship, and now, I can't even make it onto SummerSlam?! Things.... things are going to change around here. Not only for myself, but for these two gentlemen standing beside me. I've proven before that I have the ability to carry anyone to the top of the WWE! John Morrison, Alex Riley, R-Truth, Roman Reigns, they all made their names thanks to me! Damien, Big E and I are about to leave our mark on the WWE because we're The Awesome Entourage! And we're...." said Miz before R-Truth randomly stepped into the picture. "...... Can we help you?" Miz asked Truth, infuriated that his television time was interrupted. "I heard someone call my name?" Truth asked, to which Big E asked how he was able to hear all of that from a distance. "I got 20/20 hearing," Truth said. "20/20 would be your vision! Not your..... I don't have the time for this!" Miz said as he angrily left the scene, Sandow and Big E following him.
While on the subject of tag teams here in WWE, this Friday night on SmackDown, two very special guests will be in attendance. Just days before they defend their titles against The Alpha Wolves and The Addiction at NXT TakeOver: Revision, the NXT Tag Team Champions, Finn Balor and Hideo Itami, will be at SmackDown!
Cutting back to the arena, Fandango was shown already in the ring with a microphone in his hands. "2013 was meant to be the year that I tangoed with the very best in this ring and defeated them. With The Committee and The Uprising finally out of the way, the dance floor has been cleared and it's time for the stars to light up the sky. And the star that will shine the brightest is none other than the one... the only.... FAAAAAN-DAAAAAN-GOOOO!" said Fandango as the Anaheim crowd showered him with boos. "Whoever has the misfortune of being my opponent this evening, send him out now so I can dance the night away." After a few seconds of silence, the entrance music of Christian hit! "Are you kidding me? It's 'Captain Charisma!'" Jerry Lawler said with great excitement. Christian, who last competed on December 24th of last year, made his way down to the ring as his 'peeps' went wild for his return.
CHRISTIAN DEF. FANDANGO: The show of support for Christian was overwhelming as 'Captain Charisma' competed in his first match in eight months. In this rematch from last year's Survivor Series, Christian managed to put Fandango away after countering a Neckbreaker into the Killswitch. As Christian made his way up the entrance ramp, he was met by Renee Young, who was just a surprised by his appearance as the entire WWE Universe. "Christian, to say that we weren't expecting you here tonight would be an underestimate. I mean, I sat next to you on the SummerSlam Kickoff Show and had no clue that you were planning on returning to in-ring competition. One question is one everyone's mind right now: why are you back?" Renee asked. "Renee, it's been nearly a year since I decided to step away from the WWE to go home and spend some time with my family. I'll be completely honest with everyone right now. For a while, I didn't think I was going to come back. A little while after Edge got his release from Triple H, he and I sat down together in Tampa and I told him that I was considering retirement. He looked me directly in the eye and asked why? Why would I just walk away from my dream job when I'm still healthy enough to do it? I finally got back in contact with WWE and was asked if I'd be interested in going down to NXT to host an edition of The Peep Show. I accepted the invite, and well, you all know the rest. Kevin Owens assaulted me and almost broke my back on the ring apron. When the doctor told me that I'd be able to get back in the ring if I wanted, I realized that I had taken my health for granted. I can still do this, and you know what? I want to. As much as I enjoyed being with my family, I've missed this so much. I missed walking down that ramp with all of my peeps in the arena and around the world watching me. I missed getting in that ring and doing what I've wanted to my entire life. This wasn't just a one night thing. 'Captain Charisma' is back and if I don't have that much left in my career, then dammit, I'm gonna make every second of it count." Christian looked back at the audience as he slapped his chest a few times, the former World Heavyweight Champion making a successful return to RAW!
A graphic was shown for Kurt Angle's farewell address to the WWE Universe. Coming up next, we will hear from the Olympic Gold Medalist for one final time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time..... Kurt Angle!" The introduction from Justin Roberts brought everyone in the arena to their feet as Kurt Angle's entrance music hit, the Olympic Gold Medalist making his way down to the ring for the last time. Once in the ring, Angle took a microphone, but waited a bit before speaking to allow the audience to get their chants in. "Thank you, Angle!" rang throughout the arena just like last night at SummerSlam, Angle trying his best to keep his composure. "Um..... I didn't really write anything beforehand for this. Mr. McMahon offered me the chance to come out here at the end of the show and give a few words, but I chose otherwise so that other superstars could have the opportunity to be in the spotlight. All of the other guys and girls in the locker room will be here next week, whereas.... whereas I won't, and that's difficult for me to say," Angle said, taking a deep breath. "I knew that when I re-signed with the WWE last July, it would be my final contract. I just didn't know when it would end, and selfishly, I never wanted it to. If I could keep doing this forever and not have to worry about my body breaking, then I'd be out here right now making someone tap out instead of crying like I'm the one in a submission hold. There was something that Christian said when he was out here just a few minutes ago and it really rang true to me. We sometimes take our health for granted. I have the strength to stand in this ring and give my farewell address, but if I tried calling it a career in, say, 2016, maybe I'd be in a wheelchair instead of on my feet. I feel pretty good right now and I'm happy to be able to say that I'm leaving professional wrestling behind me in one piece. What didn't feel good, though, was ending my career at SummerSlam by being thrown around this ring like a rag doll by Brock Lesnar. I feel like I let everyone down with my performance. That wasn't the Kurt Angle that you've all come to know over the last fourteen years. If I could have one more shot at Lesnar, I know that things would be different. However, I made a promise to not just myself, but my family...." said Angle before stopping as he noticed what the WWE Universe was chanting at that point - "One more match! One more match!" ".... I'm sorry, everyone. I can't. I made a promise to myself and my family that after SummerSlam last night, I'd be done. I intend on keeping my word and after tonight, you guys won't see very much of me anymore. I'm heartbroken that my career is over, but really, it's been a hell of a ride and I'm beyond fortunate to have been able to spend my last year in this business with all of you, the WWE Universe. Thank you guys for making all of this possible. Thank you."
Kurt Angle placed his microphone down as the audience gave him a standing ovation, saying goodbye to the Olympic Gold Medalist. Before Angle could leave the ring, the entrance music of Brock Lesnar hit as the entire arena went silent. "Not again..." Michael Cole murmured as Lesnar and Paul Heyman marched down to the ring, Angle remaining where he was. Lesnar stepped through the ropes, confronting Angle. "For God's sake, Brock. He's retired," John Bradshaw Layfield said. For a moment, it appeared that the scene from SmackDown on April 12th was going to repeat itself. Before Lesnar could get his hands on Angle, the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes ran down to the ring as the audience came unglued. Lesnar turned around and swung at Rhodes with a Clothesline, but missed. When the 'Beast Incarnate' turned around, Rhodes struck him in between the eyes with the WWE Title! "Cody just took out Brock!" Cole shouted on commentary. Lesnar rolled out of the ring as Heyman held him back, saying that it wasn't worth going after Cody right now. Rhodes called for Lesnar to get back into the ring, standing in front of Angle and protecting him. Lesnar and Heyman left to the backstage area after being embarrassed by the 'Prince of Pro Wrestling.' Rhodes turned around and stared at Angle, the two not forgetting their history with each other over the last year. Despite all of that, Rhodes extended his hand out to Angle, thanking him for all of his contributions to pro wrestling. Angle accepted the handshake and hugged Rhodes, thanking him for what he just did to Lesnar. Rhodes would leave the ring, allowing Angle one final moment with the WWE Universe.
Returning to Monday Night RAW, a recap of Kurt Angle's farewell address was shown, where the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, saved Angle from a potential attack at the hands of Brock Lesnar. Footage from during the commercial break was then shown of Angle heading backstage, the locker room there to greet, thank and say goodbye to him. "Kurt Angle is officially retired now. One of the greatest to ever step in that ring is going home," Jerry Lawler said, saddened while happy that Angle was fortunate enough to leave with his health intact. "Looking ahead, though, I wouldn't want to be Cody Rhodes right now. He's still got a ton of bad blood with Bray Wyatt. The Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship is a few weeks away, and now, he just ticked off Brock Lesnar of all people," John Bradshaw Layfield said.
TYSON KIDD DEF. CHRIS JERICHO TO ADVANCE TO THE FINALS OF THE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS TOURNAMENT: A rematch from the SummerSlam Kickoff, the winner going on to meet Alberto Del Rio next week in the Finals of this four man tournament. Rather than delivering the Tiger Driver from the top rope like he did last night, Tyson Kidd delivered it to Chris Jericho in the center of the ring, which was still enough to put 'Y2J' away and get the victory. Kidd headed up the entrance ramp as the bracket for the tournament was shown, the Finals set for next week. It will be Alberto Del Rio vs. Tyson Kidd with the winner going on to Night of Champions to meet Adrian Neville for the United States Championship.
Backstage, cameras were shown rushing to a scene where several officials were checking on someone. "Get the hell out of my way!" Randy Orton shouted as the 'Viper' stepped into the picture, shoving several of the officials out of the way to reveal that it was Batista who was out on the floor. "What the hell happened to him?!" Orton shouted, to which one of the referees responded with, "AJ Styles. Chioda said he saw him." Infuriated by the attack onto Batista, Orton would leave the scene to head down to the ring, the Handicap match conveniently being up next. However, with Batista seemingly not able to compete, are we going to instead get a one-on-one match between Orton and Styles?
A promo was shown for WWE/NXT Unison, a special crossover event emanating from the Manhattan Center in New York City. Unison is live on September 29th, exclusively on the WWE Network!
Cutting back to the arena, 'Voices' hit to a good response from the audience as Randy Orton stepped out onto the stage, eager to get his hands on AJ Styles in either a sanctioned match or a fight after Styles seemingly attacked Batista backstage. Just seconds into Orton's entrance, however, Styles came running down the entrance ramp, leveling him in the back of the head with the Money in the Bank briefcase! Styles struck Orton repeatedly, the 'Viper' unable to defend himself after the briefcase shot. The officials who were tending to Batista backstage made their way out to ringside, trying to restore order. Styles, however, would not obey any of their commands, setting Orton up for the Bloody Sunday. "Oh my God! Not onto the floor!" Michael Cole shouted as Styles lifted Orton off of his feet, planting him right onto his head! The officials were then able to check on Orton as Styles picked up his Money in the Bank briefcase, heading up the entrance ramp while the WWE Universe booed him relentlessly. In just the span of a few minutes, AJ Styles managed to take out the two men who turned their backs on The Committee last night, Randy Orton and Batista.
Backstage, CM Punk was shown in the locker room area, preparing for his upcoming match against Bray Wyatt. Dean Ambrose would then walk into the room, greeting his fellow former Uprising member. "If you need any of the boys out there tonight to even things up with The Wyatt Family, we'll be there," Ambrose said, referring to himself, Dolph Ziggler and Wade Barrett. Punk thanked Ambrose for his offer, but insisted that he would be fine on his own. "My one-on-one match with Bray Wyatt has waited long enough. I got this one," Punk said before patting Ambrose on the shoulder and leaving the room. Punk vs. Wyatt, next on RAW!
A promo was shown for Night of Champions, live Sunday, September 15th, on the WWE Network and Pay-Per-View!
CM PUNK DEF. BRAY WYATT W/ THE WYATT FAMILY VIA DISQUALIFICATION: A huge one-on-one bout to close out the SummerSlam Fallout edition of Monday Night RAW. Initially supposed to compete against each other for the WWE Championship back on July 29th, CM Punk and Bray Wyatt took each other to the limit in a near-twenty minute main event bout. Wyatt attempted to deliver a Tombstone Piledriver, but Punk was able to slide off of his shoulders, connecting with a Roundhouse Kick. With Wyatt momentarily dazed, Punk was able to hoist the big man up to his shoulders for the Go To Sleep. It was at that moment when Luke Harper and Erick Rowan jumped into the ring, attacking Punk and causing the disqualification finish. The attack from The Wyatt Family continued until Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler and Wade Barrett hit the ring, the latter holding a steel chair. Barrett swung at The Wyatt Family as the three of them exited the ring, the former Uprising standing tall. Ambrose helped Punk up to his feet, the four men in the ring challenging The Wyatt Family to meet them.
"...... What the hell?!"
The phrase that Michael Cole, and likely others watching, shouted when Wade Barrett took the steel chair and struck CM Punk in the back with it. "Are you kidding me?!" Jerry Lawler added as Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose turned to Barrett, their eyes wide open while staring at the man who fought alongside them in The Uprising. Ziggler charged towards Barrett, who threw the chair into his face. Barrett then delivered a low blow to Ambrose when he tried to retaliate. Barrett picked the steel chair back up, moving from Punk to Ziggler to Ambrose as he struck away with it. Bray Wyatt laughed to himself on the outside, enjoying the sight of the supposed "brothers" of The Uprising being dismantled by one of their own. Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan left up the entrance ramp while Barrett continued his shocking assault onto the former Uprising. After throwing Ziggler and Ambrose to the outside, Barrett picked the motionless CM Punk up onto his shoulders, delivering Wasteland. With the entire WWE Universe chanting "You sold out!" Barrett took a microphone from ringside. "Let me make something clear to all of you right now. The ONLY reason I aligned myself with any of these miscreants was because we had common enemies in The Committee, but they're all gone now. We got what we wanted in the WarGames by forcing Triple H out of here. Now, it's time for the 'Uprising' of Wade Barrett! I don't need a single one of you anymore because at Night of Champions, I'm going to destroy all of you inside the Elimination Chamber and become the three-time WWE Champion! Let this be remembered as the night that the Barrett Barrage officially went back in business!" Barrett threw the microphone down as he stood over the fallen bodies of Punk, Ambrose and Ziggler, showing his true colors to the entire world.

- Loved Vince McMahon starting off the show given what happened last night at SummerSlam, Vince McMahon is still the Chairman of WWE and Triple H is not only out of power but also by extension Stephanie is out of power as well which means they do not have any control of RAW, Smackdown or NXT but the icing on the cake is that Triple H is no longer the COO of WWE, could not be any more happier than I am right now but Triple H still has a job at WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut but just a simple desk job, another taste of what Triple H deserves
- The new Commissioner of WWE is announced and it is none other than Booker T, this is great, the WWE Hall of Famer the 6 time World Champion is in control, so happy Booker is in charge and now that he is, his first order of business is announcing his 2 matches for the Night of Champions PPV that being for the WWE Tag Team Championship it will be Cesaro and Ohno defending their titles against DiBiase and Hennig Wrestling Royalty the former Champions who never got their rematch for the titles that they never lost, still can't wait to see that match and the next match being for the WWE Championship, an Elimination Chamber Match with Cody Rhodes the WWE Champion defending his title inside the Chamber against Ziggler, Barrett, Punk, Wyatt and Ambrose which in my opinion will end up being the main event at Night of Champions
- But after the Night of Champions PPV is Hell in a Cell and we then go from one diabolical structure to another from the Elimination Chamber to Satan's structure to the Devil's playground to Hell in a Cell next month
- Booker T's next order of business being about the WWE United States Championship, just when he is about to get to that he is interrupted by Ryback of all people, didn't Ryback lose his opportunity at the WWE United States Championship when he lost to Neville? So I wonder why he is even out here much less why he would go about interrupting the new Commissioner?
- Booker T making the announcement that there will be a 4 man tournament to decide who faces Neville for the WWE United States Championship, that is a great decision on Booker T's part and Ryback is one of those 4 men, then I wonder who Ryback is going to face?
- Ryback's opponent turning out to be none other than the man who ended Rusev's undefeated streak last night at SummerSlam that being Del Rio in that brutal LA Street Fight, Del Rio vs Ryback, this should be a slobberknocker to kick off RAW right
- Del Rio beating Ryback to move on in the WWE United States Championship tournament by making Ryback tap out to the Cross Armbreaker, Del Rio is not only on quite the roll he could be the favorite in this tournament but I wonder where this leaves The Big Guy now?
- So Roman Reigns isn't done with Cena yet? I would have figured that he would have been given that he beat Cena last night at SummerSlam but Reigns not only wants Cena's spot he wants to be the face of WWE and Reigns won't stop until he gets rid of Cena completely so that almost guarantees that we'll be seeing a rematch between these 2 and I see it happening at Night of Champions
- Sofia Cortez in only her second one on one match on RAW, she beats AJ Lee, first she beat Paige in an Empty Arena Match and then now she beats AJ Lee, I mean it is only a matter of time before Sofia she turns on Kaitlyn the WWE Divas Champion because let's face it even if Sofia and Kaitlyn are friends Kaitlyn has the one thing Sofia wants and that is the WWE Divas Championship and Paige yes she hasn't been seen or heard from since SummerSlam last night where she lost to Stephanie but I have a feeling we will see Paige again sooner or later
- Mr. Money in the Bank AJ Styles he is pissed off and I can't blame him considering his team Team Committee lost last night in WarGames and Triple H is out of power, Styles he was the face of The Committee and now he isn't anymore and he blames Orton and Batista well I couldn't blame them for turning on Triple H because let's face it Triple H was an egomaniac who simply had to go but Styles was on their team too and he isn't happy about Booker T being the new Commissioner but what can he really do about it? Booker T putting Styles in a Handicap Match against Orton and Batista, that should shut AJ up, serves him right for trying to get in Booker's face
- Rollins' announcement being that he is unifying the World Heavyweight Championship and the WWE Intercontinental Championship, it will now be called the WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, I would have figured that Rollins would be walking around with 2 titles but he only wants one I guess that makes sense but I just was not expecting this but he wants to bring even more prestige to the title well I would say he's done that now but the now WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship will it be on the same level as the WWE Championship? If it will be then I say great but Bryan he still has his 1 on 1 rematch he has a rematch clause so if the Rematch happens it will no doubt happen at Night of Champions
- DiBiase and Hennig Wrestling Royalty beating Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal, it seems Wrestling Royalty are all business when it comes to regaining the WWE Tag Team Championship, the titles they never lost but had to surrender because of injury since they were taken out by Orton and Batista a while back and even before that their WWE Tag Team Championship reign lasted 377 days, the longest WWE Tag Team Championship reign in WWE history but they have to face a tag team who are just as good as them might even be better than them that being Paul Heyman Guys Cesaro and Ohno the current reigning defending WWE Tag Team Champions, their match at Night of Champions will be something to behold won't it?
- Miz is pissed off about being left off SummerSlam well I can't blame him considering SummerSlam was in Hollywood in Miz's neck of the woods but also given everything Miz has accomplished I would have expected him to be at SummerSlam but Miz, Big E and Sandow being interrupted by R Truth of all people, I can see a Miz/Truth Awesome Truth feud happening again or in other words being reignited
- The NXT Tag Team Champions Finn Balor and Hideo Itami on Smackdown this Thursday, I can only wonder just who they will face?
- Captain Charisma Christian with an unannounced return definitely an unexpected return a real surprise but now that Christian is back I wonder just how long? But Christian in his first match back in his return to WWE he beats Fandango, I wonder if this will be the start of a Christian push perhaps?
- Angle's farewell address he is saying goodbye to us all the WWE Universe, thank you Angle not only for the memories to last us a lifetime but thank you for the great matches you've given us, Angle definitely in my book is a future first ballot WWE Hall of Famer and I can see him headlining his own HOF class but just as Angle is about to share his goodbyes with everyone here comes Lesnar to crash it all and just when he is about to do some serious damage to Angle here comes the WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Rhodes making the save for Angle and going toe to toe with The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar and Cody isn't afraid, I have to admit Cody has some guts especially leaving Lesnar laying and heading out of dodge Cody he just may have made himself a new enemy in Lesnar
- Tyson Kidd beating Chris Jericho again for the second night in a row he beat Jericho last night at SummerSlam and now tonight on RAW to move on into the Finals of the WWE United States Championship tournament, this means Kidd he will be facing Del Rio in the Finals
- Batista attacked backstage, no doubt this has AJ Styles written all over this, AJ wanted to make it a 1 on 1 contest because he knew that if it were a Handicap Match they would beat the holy hell out of him but 1 on 1 AJ actually has a better chance, Styles vs Orton, this is a dream match in my opinion
- Styles vs Orton never gets started, Orton attacked from behind by AJ Styles, Styles didn't want a match tonight he simply just wanted to make a statement but Styles giving Orton the Bloody Sunday on the floor, that was sick, AJ Styles is out of control and here is hoping Booker T takes action here against AJ Styles
- And in the main event, Punk vs Wyatt ending in a DQ I definitely expected either a clean win for Wyatt or a clean win for Punk but what I definitely was not counting on what I definitely did not expect was Wade Barrett turning heel, Barrett turning heel in a shocking twist laying out Punk with a steel chair shot to the back and then laying out Ziggler with the steel chair by throwing it into his face and then giving Ambrose a low blow as Barrett lays out Punk, Ziggler and Ambrose with a chair while Wyatt is laughing it all up, yes Barrett definitely sold out

Alright, it's time for Raw and we start off with one question: CAN YOU DIG IT (DIG IT) SUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA? I'm not the biggest Booker T fan, but I'm okay with him taking the role as Commissioner. Funny, I get rid of the Commissioner role and call Bischoff Geneal Manager and now you callin' mofos Commissioner! Anyway, he starts things off with announcing what was already announced beforehand in the Elimination Chamber match and the WWE Tag Team Championships match before Ryback of all mofos come out and interrupts... DA BIG GUY! Fine set up in to the four man United States Championship number one contenders tournament and Alberto Del Rio knocks off Ryback to move to the finals. I can dig that, after his big win over Rusev last night. Kidd vs Jericho in a rematch? Aw, shucky ducky quack quack. I expect Kidd to win and move on to the finals, probably beating out Del Rio. Punk vs Wyatt later should be grand and dandy, too. Pretty good promo between John Cena and Roman Reigns here, I really dug the attitue Reigns' attitude you gave him throughout it. Sofia Cortez beating AJ Lee, we got a dominant pairing of Kaitlyn and Sofia here. AJ Styles and Booker T!? TNA! TNA! TNA! Good stuff there and Booker already abusing his power... what a dink! More promos to go here, but expected coming out of such a big pay-per-view, and Seth Rollins declares himself the Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion. I can dig that, sucka. See? Tying in with the Booker T stuff. Next, we get to Wrestling Royalty beat 3MB to the shock of no one, obviously. Good promo coming afterward from them, as well, re-establishing who the f*ck they were and who the f*ck they are, damn it! Truth has 20/20 hearing? Awk interview with The Awesome Entourage. Awk Truth. Awk Awesome Truth. Ooh, Finn Balor and Hideo Itami on Smackdown? Color me intrigued, but not pink. I don't like pink. Yeah, I've said that before. Christian returning was cool and starting things off with a win over Fandango was a fine way to get him back in to things! I feel bad he has had so many injuries, theres just nothing for him to do. Hopefully you've got something planned for him. Great send off for Kurt Angle that almost turned in to disaster with Brock Lesnar only for... Cody Rhodes to make the save!? If we're getting Cody Rhodes vs Brock Lesnar, it sounds crazy on paper but color me intriuged. But not pink. Tyson Kidd beating Chris Jericho to advance to the finals of the United States Championship was expected and I totes expect him to go over Del Rio, perhaps with some angry, angry Rusev help? Either way, I don't see Kidd losing. Damn you, AJ Styles! You just killed Batista! You bastard! Styles taking out Orton, too!? Jesus, he's lethal. Like, Jay Lethal almost! I dig that he is looking like a heel threat, though, even without Triple H backing him. Finally, we get the main event of CM Punk and Bray Wyatt and all hell breaks loose! Wade Barrett turning was fabulous and really adds a lot to the Elimination Chamber as now The Uprising just lost somebody on their side. Hectic edition of Raw with all of this, that and the other thing but I've come to expect this. I feel like you've got a murder case analyst board in your room and it has, like, ninety seven line connections. Anyway, a good show and I'm looking forward to everything going forward.

SummerSlam's done and there's another gang warfare storyline done and while it has been done very well I look forward to something different from you now.
Saying that SummerSlam was a great card top to bottom you really made it feel like the 2nd biggest show of the year.
Thought the placing of Dean Ambrose in the graphic was a little odd I never got the impression he was the 'leader' of the uprising. If I'm being completely honest for someone who is better than most at character development for me something's missing with Dean Ambrose maybe he switched around too much when you first brought him in.
On too Raw apart from the announcement of Booker T as the commissioner which was a little meh thought it made for a great exciting show.
Rhodes/Brock has been set up for the future which is a huge match. However small point didn't like the fact Rhodes returned so soon after taking a tombstone on the concrete the night before
Rollins unifying the titles is something only you could see great decision. From here I think you need to produce some lengthy reigns you did tend it seems to switch champions quite often.
Liked how Kidd beat Jericho again and Kidd/Neville will be great. Raw was really a fun show which also included the well done Reigns/Cena promo I enjoyed the tag title set up and then we had Barrett turn on the uprising at the end.
Raw was well done good work brother! You have created a roster full of stars now and meaningful titles you could probably do the brand split again and neither show be left short!

Some time has now passed since the world of professional wrestling was stunned to learn that AJ Styles, formerly known by many as the face of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. Just as shocking was the result of Styles' first match in WWE at Payback when he defeated Dean Ambrose for the vacant Money in the Bank briefcase. While Styles is guaranteed a championship match at some point in the future, several questions have been raised about the briefcase with not many answers. Earlier today (August 21st), Michael Cole conducted a sitdown interview with AJ Styles on WWE.com, where we learned about a few "changes" to the contract that allows him the opportunity to become champion. - This past Monday on RAW, Seth Rollins unprecedentedly unified the World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships, thus creating the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship. The contract in AJ Styles' Money in the Bank briefcase grants him a shot at either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship. Due to the latter title no longer being active, Styles can now only cash-in his contract on the WWE Championship. When asked about his personal feelings regarding this, Styles told Cole that it doesn't change anything, really. "All this means is that Seth Rollins doesn't have to look over his shoulder at every second of every day. It's a much different story for Cody Rhodes, though. Any time Cody and I are in the same arena, I could be right there, ready to cash this in and take his WWE Title. I had the chance to do it at SummerSlam, but I held back on pulling the trigger. Cody got lucky that night, but the next time I see an opening, I'm taking it." - It was never really made clear how long AJ Styles has to cash-in the Money in the Bank briefcase. The contract was originally captured by Derrick Bateman at WrestleMania XXIX, but was later vacated when Bateman suffered an injury. While Bateman had until April 7th, 2014 to cash-in, Styles winning the briefcase later on changed the contract's expiration date. Styles has until Monday, July 14th, 2014 to cash-in for an opportunity at the WWE Championship. - While not pertaining to the Money in the Bank briefcase, Michael Cole did ask AJ Styles about his attacks on Randy Orton and Batista this past Monday on RAW. Regarding Orton, Styles stated that he simply found a way to make sure the 'Viper' felt his wrath without having to unfairly compete in a Handicap match. "Orton and Batista turned their backs on not just me at SummerSlam, but the man who is solely responsible for the successes they became, Triple H. I gave Orton exactly what he deserved.... but I can't quite say the same about Batista. See, I don't know what anyone in the back saw, but I did NOT attack Batista. Would I have loved to? You're damn right, but it wasn't me." Many fans were under the belief that when Derrick Bateman carried the Money in the Bank briefcase, it was likely that he would become the first WWE superstar to cash-in and NOT become champion as a result. Despite the briefcase changing hands, the mindset of fans remains the same, but for different reasons. Several fans believe that Bateman is not yet ready to become WWE Champion and were quite vocal about him being heavily pushed so quickly. Those same fans have shown overwhelming support for Styles' decision to join WWE, but have legitimate concerns when it comes to him being champion. Would Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn and other executives actually allow someone like AJ Styles, who entirely established himself outside of the company, to hold the WWE Championship and be seen as the "Face of the Company?"

- I think AJ Styles is lying and that he is the one who attacked Batista because AJ Styles he attacked Orton but he would also have a lot to gain by attacking The Animal as well, AJ Styles doesn't just have Randy Orton to worry about he also has Batista to watch out for especially that Batista Bomb because once Batista hits it on AJ Styles then he's done for
- As for Derrick Bateman I see him making a return to WWE especially if people at WWE Headquarters end up bringing him back mostly Vince McMahon himself deciding to bring him back, Bateman returning as a babyface I mean it is almost inevitable especially with AJ Styles as your top heel as the biggest heel in WWE besides Barrett I mean Bateman ideally the best time to bring him back would be either Survivor Series, your December PPV or Royal Rumble 2014
- So Styles has until next July a whole year to cash in? Then he could cash in at any time from now until then but AJ Styles is pretty much guaranteed to become WWE Champion especially now that he has that briefcase but if AJ becomes WWE Champion he becomes a marked man because he won't have Rhodes to worry about he will have so many superstars gunning for him like Bray Wyatt, Orton, Batista, Ziggler, Punk, Ambrose, Lesnar, Jericho, Del Rio, Kane, Big Show, Bryan, Rollins, Cena so many superstars to worry about but that is only if he becomes WWE Champion
- AJ Styles he could cash in and fail on his cash-in too I mean that is almost a possibility too
