Cole: "Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Monday Night Raw! We are less than 24 hours removed from the Battleground Pay-Per-View and we are making our way to Summerslam, tonight!
Jerry Lawler: That's right Cole, last night we saw some absolutely epic matches with some even more epic results! The WWE World Heavyweight Champ, Seth Rollins went home with his title after The Undertaker returned, shocking the WWE Universe to it's core! Not only that, but the United States Champ, John Cena took his title belt home for another day when he made Kevin Owens tap out!
JBL: You got it, last night was a war if I ever saw one. Luke Harper being the force behind Bray Wyatt pinning Roman Reigns was just another twist in the long and winding tale between these two superstars. Not to mention our Diva's revolution starting it's next chapter as Charlotte beat Sasha Banks and Brie Bella in a great triple threat!
Cole: We shouldn't forget the Primetime Players, who retained their Tag Titles against New Day last night and of course Mr. Money In The Bank Sheamus falling short to Randy Orton after a vicious RKO outta nowhere!
Lawler: Tonight, we make our first step towards the biggest event of the summer...Summerslam!
***NEXT BIG THING***
The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar's music hits through the speakers as he walks out, looking visibly angered at the events that took place last night. Next to him, his mouthpiece, Paul Heyman follows him down to the ring while he shouts at the audience. The two men reach the ring as Lesnar hops up onto the apron and wastes no time getting between the ropes. Up the steps Heyman walks before he also gets into the ring, picking up a microphone as he does.
Heyman: Ladies and Gentleman...my name, is Paul Heyman. Last night, at Battleground, my client Brock Lesnar was SCREWED out of the chance to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Brock Lesnar had Seth Rollins down, he had him finished! But then, the unthinkable. Over a year ago, my client ended The Undertakers streak at Wrestlemania. Brock Lesnar became the one in twenty-one and one.
The crowd start to stir at the statement.
Heyman: Over a year later, he comes back. The Undertaker, for no reason whatsoever decides that he'll return to get his revenge on Brock Lesnar! Just because Brock Lesnar killed your career Undertaker does not mean that you have to use him to try and revive it. Just because my client made you the true description of the "Deadman", doesn't mean that you need to try to use Brock Lesnar to once again be living. Because you see Undertaker, when my client...BROOCK LESNAAAAR(!) gets his hands on you, you will not even be a dead man walking. You will simply be a, Dead. Man.
The crowd boo slightly as Lesnar & Heyman are startled by the music of another WWE Superstar.
***THE SECOND COMING***
Seth Rollins struts out onto the stage, his WWE World Heavyweight title over his shoulder. He swings the belt around his head, ala his Wrestlemania 31 winning celebration, before heading halfway down the ramp and picking a microphone out of his pocket.
Rollins: I did it! All you idiots out there in the WWE Universe doubted me from the moment they told you that Brock Lesnar would be facing me for the title, but last night I walked out holding that belt in my hands and here it is!
Rollins raises the title above his head, grinning from ear to ear at his "victory" from the previous night.
Heyman: Seth, you know as well as I, Brock Lesnar and the entire of the WWE Universe know that the belt should be the beast, Brock Lesnar's!
The two men are interrupted by Stephanie McMahon, who appears on the titantron.
Steph: Hey! Stop it right now, both of you! First of all Seth, congratulations on retaining your title last night at Battleground. However, I would like to also extend a congratulations to Brock Lesnar.
The crowd cheers as Stephanie acknowledges the beating that Lesnar put on Rollins last night.
Steph: You had Seth Rollins down, you could have become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion last night, but other circumstances led to you laying in the middle of the ring, beaten.
Heyman: Don't you dare humiliate my client in front of all these people!
Steph: Paul, calm down, you haven't heard me out yet. You see, we've decided that Seth Rollins will defend his title at Summerslam...against Brock Lesnar. As he did not get his fair shot last night, Brock will have another opportunity in four weeks time.
The crowd cheer, as Lesnar has a smirk on his face and Heyman claps at Stephanie on the screen. Rollins however, begins to shout his disapproval at the woman who should be on his side.
Steph: Seth, bite your tongue and suck it up. Myself and Triple H have decided that this decision is best for business. Brock, seeing as you're here tonight on Raw we have decided that it would also be best to put you into a match tonight, as part of one of two main events. You will step into this ring again later on, as you face...The Miz! As for you Seth, you will be participating in our other main event, as you face...Neville!
The titantron cuts off, as Seth Rollins looks visibly annoyed at having to take part in a match tonight, whilst Lesnar is looking slightly happier, knowing he's got someone he can try and pull apart later on in the night.
Cole: Oh my goodness, what an announcement!! Seth Rollins will take on Neville and Brock Lesnar will take on The Miz in what will be two absolutely brilliant main-event calibre matches!
***Commercial Break***
We're back from our first commercial break this evening, with the tag team of the Lucha Dragons already in the ring. Tag Team action, up next!
***NEW DAY, NEW WAY***
Out onto the stage come The New Day, booed loudly. Big E starts to gyrate his hips on the stage as Kofi skips around him in a circle. Xavier Woods taunts the crowd as the three men gradually make their way into the ring. Xavier Woods is sitting this one out, as the bell rings for the match.
As the bell rings, Big E & Sin Cara are the two legal men starting the match. Having two such clashing styles in the ring proves difficult to start as Big E can't hit a powerful move on the Luchador without Sin Cara managing to avoid it. However, Sin Cara can't get the chance to floor Big E with aerial moves without being swatted away. The match continues, as Big E starts to turn it around in his teams favour, as he grounds the opposition and keeps him down, tagging in his partner. Kofi, who begins skipping around his opponent attempts a hurricanrana that is reversed by Sin Cara. The two men go back & forth for a couple of minutes, before Sin Cara manages to keep Kofi down for enough time to tag in Kalisto.
Cole: These two Lucha Dragons really know how to put on a show! This is insane!
The match continues with Kalisto moving at fast speed, around the ring. Hitting move after move on Kofi, he is starting to look unstoppable. Kofi tries to make his way to the corner but the Dragons are all over this match as they begin to tag in and out in quick succession. A few wasted pin attempts lead Kalisto to attempt a springboard which goes awry, leading to Kingston finally tagging his partner in. Big E spears Sin Cara through the ropes, smashing him to the floor outside, before getting back into the ring and catching Kalisto from the top rope. Hitting the "Big Ending" earns the New Day a pinfall win and possibly another shot at the Tag Team Champions, Primetime Players.
Post-match, Woods grabs the mic and heads into the ring.
Woods: You see, the New Day are the greatest tag team in the history of the WWE! So what if Darren Young & Titus O'Neil hold the titles? Today, it's all about a New Day...because;
New Day: NEW. DAY ROCKS. NEW. DAY ROCKS. NEW. DAY ROCKS.
The crowd dub over New Day with "New, Day Sucks." but the team don't seem to care as they head out of the ring and to the back.
JBL: A win for the New Day here tonight have put them back into possible contention for the Tag Titles!
Lawler: That's right John! Is there any other tag teams out there that could possibly be on the same level as the Primetime Players and the New Day? I don't think there could!
Cole: Join us for more action, when we come back from this break!
***COMMERCIAL BREAK***
(This show will be posted in parts, as per my decision. This way, I can get people talking about what they think is coming on the show, rather than throwing it all at them in one go. I find things are easier to read if they're posted gradually rather than all at once.)
Announced Matches For The Rest Of Raw;
Brock Lesnar vs The Miz
