He talks about Balor being a former NXT Champion. “He wasn’t the first NXT Champion…that was Seth Rollins, I did that, thank you very much.” Rollins said he was the No. 1 overall draft pick for RAW, not Balor. He said Balor is like a bad movie remake like Ghostbusters. Balor asks Rollins if he is done. Balor said he plans to beat Rollins at SummerSlam to become the first ever WWE Universal Champion.

Seth Rollins talks about his SummerSlam opponent, Finn Bálor

Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring to a light reception from the crowd. Rollins says the New Era in WWE is upon us. It has been rolling along, and it has been quite the learning experience. Even he, the great Seth Rollins, has learned a thing or two. Case in point, his SummerSlam opponent, Finn Bálor. Rollins figured he was a cheap, second-rate knockoff of him. Rollins thought Bálor was the Jared Leto to his Heath Ledger. Rollins thought he knew everything there was to know, but after last week he was forced to reevaluate his opinion. A replay is shown of Bálor saying that he would hand Rollins his ass at SummerSlam. Rollins tried to sneak attack him, but Bálor then took him out.Bálor is disrespectful, arrogant, and ignorant. Rollins says he is none of those things. Rollins knows his place in WWE: right at the very top. Rollins is not ignorant because he doesn’t need to surround himself with myths and legends to make himself something that he is not. Rollins knows who he is and what he is capable of. He is the man, the myth, and the legend. In 200 years, people will be telling stories about how he killed “The Beast” and crushed the face that runs the place. Rollins conquered the Roman Empire, which elicits cheers from the crowd. At SummerSlam, he’ll add to his legend when he beats Finn Bálor to become the first WWE Universal Champion.

Sheamus vs. Cesaro

Winner by Pinfall: Cesaro


The Dudley Boyz vs. Neville and Sin Cara

Winners by Pinfall: Neville and Sin Cara


Rusev and Lana: A Celebration of Love

Rusev makes his way to the stage before “Canon in D” starts playing and Lana comes out wearing a provocative wedding dress. In the ring, there is a red carpet and a table with cakes and champagne glasses. They get in the ring. Lana says she is Rusev’s princess. When you are a princess, you are supposed to get the fairy tale wedding of your dreams. Lana says none of the people in the crowd could attend because it was VIPs only. Rusev screams at the crowd to respect his wife. The crowd starts to boo them. Lana says today is their lucky day. They’re about to reenact their very special occasion with everyone in the crowd. Rusev says Lana is beautiful and all his. Rusev shows off her ring and has her kiss his bicep. She says they will get the best gift ever: experiencing their wedding day. A video package shows photos of their wedding day.Roman Reigns’ music hits, and he comes out to a nice pop from the crowd. As he gets closer to the ring, the boos start to break through a bit. Rusev is furious in the ring. Reigns takes his time before getting in the ring. Once he’s in the ring, the boos really come through. Reigns tells Rusev to take it easy and relax. Rusev attacks Reigns and punches away at him in the corner. Reigns comes back with some head-butts, but Rusev quickly powers him to the corner and shoulders away at him. Lana angrily yells at Reigns. Reigns then knocks Rusev into Lana, and she falls face-first into the wedding cake. Lana screams at Reigns, and Reigns just walks off. Rusev throws cake at Reigns as he walks up the ramp. Lana continues to flip out in the ring.


Sasha Banks vs. Dana Brooke w/ Charlotte

Winner by Pinfall: Sasha Banks


Kofi Kingston w/ Xavier Woods vs. Luke Gallows w/ Karl Anderson

Winner by Pinfall: Luke Gallows


Mick Foley is standing in the ring as the crowd chants his last name. Foley says the wedding was “fresh.” When he competed in WWE, he lived by the philosophy of an “eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and an ear for an ear.” That philosophy is archaic and barbaric in retrospect. In the spirit of brotherhood, his special guest is the Smackdown General Manager, Daniel Bryan.

Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring to a huge reception and starts an arena-wide “YES” chant. Bryan says as much as it pains him to say it, Mick Foley has been doing an excellent job of running Monday Night RAW. Rusev’s music hits, and he angrily storms down to the ring dressed to fight. Rusev says RAW doesn’t need another champion because it already has one. Rusev says the next time one of the superstars from Smackdown Live shows up on his show, he’ll crush him for the greatest GM in the history of mankind, Mick Foley. Bryan asks if he’s sucking up to Foley to get out of his SummerSlam match. Bryan says that’s pathetic. Rusev says he’ll crush Bryan like the Smackdown Live bug he is.

Cesaro’s music hits, and he comes out in his tearaway suit. Cesaro says it seems like Rusev is having a really bad night, and he has a great idea how to make it worse. Foley said Cesaro could earn a championship opportunity, and he proved last week and this week that he deserves a championship opportunity. Foley says Sheamus almost had Cesaro for a moment. Cesaro is confused because he thought Foley was a man of his word. Bryan says Cesaro is being underutilized on RAW. A “YES” chant breaks out. Foley says Roman Reigns will get his shot at SummerSlam against Rusev, but he’ll get his shot tonight in Anaheim, California.


WWE United States Championship Match
Rusev (c) vs. Cesaro


Sheamus gets on the apron again, but Cesaro sends Rusev into Sheamus. The referee inadvertently gets taken out. Cesaro hits the Neutralizer and pins him, but the referee is still down. Cesaro had him pinned for a few moments before the referee came to. Cesaro gets a near fall. Rusev quickly thumbs him in the eye, and Cesaro goes down near the ropes. Sheamus connects with a Brogue Kick, which allows Rusev to pin Cesaro for the win.

Winner and still WWE United States Champion: Rusev

Sheamus gleefully smiles before walking off. Rusev celebrates his championship victory. Rusev goes to ringside and turns around looking shocked. Rusev turned too soon and had to stand there for a few awkward moments before Roman Reigns floored him with a Spear. Reigns then walks off as his music plays.
