As he brags about breaking Cena's nose, Cesaro shows up, obviously annoyed with Rollins speaking, and reminds Rollins that Cena made him tap to the STF before telling him he'll see him later tonight.

It isn't long before Kevin Owens shows up, and he guests on commentary after the commercial break.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for July 29, 2015
Austin Aries shows up to start the show. He says there is nobody better than him in the business right now, and he's not happy with Bully Ray because he's not in contendership for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Bully Ray shows up, and says he can't give him a shot to either the World or tag titles because he's lost to Kurt Angle and The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) respectively. He also tells Aries that he runs his mouth a little too fast, and it just might get him into trouble. Bully says he can give him an X Division title shot, but Aries says the title is for those who will never make it to the main event...like Rockstar Spud. Spud, having heard this, shows up and he's not very happy to have heard this from Aries' mouth. He has respect for him, but Aries decides to be a realist about it...to the point that he's a jerk. He decides to give Spud a match against him to see if he can hang with him and if his hard work can pay off. Spud says he's been proving he can hang his entire life. He says he'll prove he can not only hang with him, he'll beat him. Aries proceeds to mock Spud even further, mocking the "Rockstar" in his name and saying that if he can't beat someone like Spud, he shouldn't be in a TNA ring. Bully Ray decides to put that statement to the test, and makes that a stipulation in a match between Aries and Spud. Aries decides to throw in another stipulation: if Spud loses, he can no longer use "Rockstar" in his name as the "Rockstar" name will belong to Aries.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for July 28, 2015
Nikki is staying with Brie and Bryan for a while, as she is afraid of staying at home because the house is too big. We find out that Nicole has more street smarts than book smarts.
Paige prepares to temporarily move in with Alicia. This is where we learn about Paige's new boyfriend: Kevin Skaff, guitarist for A Day To Remember.
Brie, Bryan and Nikki have a night out. The topic of kids is brought up. Bryan teases Nikki about not having kids, and Nikki mentions that Bryan is known for doing this sort of thing.
Nattie tells TJ that she has temporarily housed a few cats for a local animal rescue. "A few" ends up being 18. Nattie admits they weren't very specific about how many cats they would bring, and TJ is not happy with the fact that Nattie says she couldn't say no. One of the cats escape through the porch screen.
Paige and Kevin run into fans during a rock festival, and we find out that Kevin and Paige have a wonderful relationship.
Nattie's parents head to Nattie's home. TJ and Nattie ask them to deal with the cats as they have to head out to the European tour tomorrow.
Brie finds out her clothes are in the barn outside the house because, according to Bryan, she "lives like an animal." Nikki is not amused by Bryan's antics.
Paige has news for Alicia: she's moving in with Kevin instead. Alicia is shocked that she's moving with him after only a few weeks together, after what happened with Bradley.
Bryan tells Nikki that he put her clothes in the barn because "she consumes more stuff than anyone he knows" and because she took so much space in his closet.
Paige and Kevin head to Alicia's place for a housewarming party. Alicia notices that Kevin has a lot of qualities that Bradley did, and mentions it. Paige removes herself from the situation, which becomes awkward for her.
Nattie tells TJ that Heath Slater and Adam Rose are riding with them for the night. Again, Nattie says she couldn't say no. Titus O'Neil also ends up joining them.
We see the trip from the arena from four viewpoints: TJ and Nattie's, Trinity and Jon Uso, Brie and Nikki Bella, and Paige and Alicia Fox. TJ's drive to the next stop becomes super-awkward for him with the new riding partners. Nikki fells like Bryan hates him, but Brie says Bryan is just having fun. Trinity and Jon Uso keep talking about the same joke for a couple of minutes. Alicia Fox brings up Bradley and the fact that she's moving in with Kevin so soon after the relationship, and it gets to the point that Paige wants Alicia to pull over so that she can ride with Trinity and Jon. Trinity tells Paige that Alicia has a right to feel upset for Paige bailing on moving in with her, and that nobody was really in the right.

Brie and Nikki call Bryan. Bryan tells Nikki she doesn't hate her, and apologizes if his teasing gives her a hard time.
Heath Slater tells everyone on TJ's ride that his friend owns a restaurant on the way. It ends up being a strip club. TJ is so annoyed that he heads straight to the car. Nattie tries to get TJ to get back in and feels guilty that TJ is alone in the car, but Nattie still manages to have a good time on the stripper poles. When everyone gets back in the car, Nattie tells TJ she'll make up for it tonight.
Brie and Nikki figure out that Bryan isn't all bad. Paige and Alicia are still mad at each other when they finally reach the hotel.
Nattie gets a call from her mom. Nattie asks her to hang tight for another day or two. TJ has a conversation with Nattie to try to find out why Nattie just can't say no.
Trinity talks with Alicia, and says that Alicia should at least be respectful of who Paige dates. Alicia still can't get over Wade Barrett.

Seth Rollins shows up. He asks the WWE Universe members in the Kansas City crowd what it's like to be wrong about him again, and tells them they are indeed wrong again. He says Brock Lesnar is the most vicious Superstar out there, but he's still standing, yet the WWE Universe still disrespects him like they always have. He says he has faced every challenge in front of him and walked away with the title each and every time, and that he is the "be all, end all" of champions in this industry. He still feels he was robbed by Undertaker and Lesnar, however, and tells Lillian Garcia to come into the ring and announce that he is still the World Heavyweight Champion. She does...then John Cena shows up. He tells the WWE Universe they no longer have to deal with Rollins' crap. Rollins congratulates Cena on last night's win, and gives him a hard time for the open challenges. Cena congratulates Rollins for forcing him into the road to being the United States champ, congratulates him on being a slimy excuse of a champion, and tells him that his actions make people lose faith in the World Heavyweight title and gain faith in the United States title. Rollins tells Cena he can keep having his open challenges while he keeps being the World champion. Cena tells Rollins to keep running from every challenge like he always has, and that the man makes the title, not the other way around. When Cena asks Rollins if he's ready to man up yet, this teases a brawl between Cena and Rollins, but Rollins walks away with a smirk on his face. Cena tells the WWE Universe that the real champion is in the ring, as Cena and Rollins hoist their championships into the air.

Paul Heyman is in the ring. He says Brock Lesnar should be WWE World Heavyweight Champion right now, but Undertaker put a stop to all that last night at Battleground. As for continuously bragging about Brock Lesnar breaking The Streak, he mentions all of the big names that tried and failed where Lesnar did not. He then says that Brock Lesnar broke Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30, and while he sold his soul to the devil, his ass belongs to Brock Lesnar. Undertaker pops up after the lights go dark and then turn back on. He is about to go after Paul Heyman when Lesnar rushes in. This starts a brawl of epic proportions that takes security, WWE Superstars and even Triple H himself to break up.
After the break, the brawl between Brock Lesnar and Undertaker continues backstage. Policemen eventually cuff and escort Lesnar out of the arena, with Lesnar kindly asking not to be touched.

My predictions for WWE Battleground 2015
R-Truth vs. King Barrett
in a Battle For The Crown
For the Battleground kick-off, "King What's Up" and King Barrett face off one last time to determine the true current king of WWE.My prediction: Barrett will probably win this one.
Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt is back...and this time, he's going after Roman Reigns for the sole purpose of trying to take everything away from him. Anyone but Roman, he says...but can Roman give him the beatdown that he has yet to see coming?My prediction: Roman Reigns will probably win this one.
Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins (c)
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
With both of his ex-Shield buddies Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns taken down and out of contention for the World Heavyweight title, there's only one challenge left according to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon: Brock Lesnar. Can Rollins beat Lesnar one-on-one, or is "The Future of the WWE" in over his head?My prediction: Lesnar will destroy Rollins and take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for a fourth time.
Big Show vs. The Miz vs. Ryback (c)
for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
The Ryback has made an enemy out of Big Show for calling himself "The Big Guy." To make matters worse, The Miz is back and wants to make his presence known with yet another Intercontinental Championship reign. Is this one plate that's too full for Ryback?My prediction: Ryback will probably retain.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) vs.
The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) (c)
for the WWE Tag Team Championships
It's a new day...and a rematch! Yes, it is! Can The New Day take the tag titles back from the Prime Time Players?My prediction: The Prime Time Players will retain.
Kevin Owens vs. John Cena (c)
for the WWE United States Championship
After two heart-stopping matches at Elimination Chamber and Money in the Bank, it's all on the line at Battleground with one win apiece and the United States Championship on the line this time. Owens recently lost the NXT Championship to Finn Balor at The Beast In The East...and he just might replace his former prize with an even more impressive one...My prediction: Kevin Owens is taking the United States title. If you thought Cena brought attention and prestige back to that title, wait until Owens holds it.
Randy Orton vs. Sheamus
Yep, this match again.My prediction: Randy Orton will win this one.

Roman wants him to come down to the ring, but Wyatt has other ideas.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for July 15, 2015
Dixie Carter is in the ring, which is surrounded by the TNA roster. She apologizes to the TNA fans and the TNA roster, and does not regret being put through a table by Bully Ray and getting a huge reality check out of it. She asks for the roster's trust in her vision of the future, which is easy to doubt as she has not always held to her promises. Before she can introduce a new leader for TNA, Ethan Carter III and Tyrus show up, asking Dixie who this "farce" is. Dixie then introduces "the man who will become the law": Bully Ray himself. Bully Ray talks about how he came back to TNA, starting with Dixie Carter's apology via telephone, which Bully Ray says was legit. He admits he's been angry with Dixie for the longest time, and says that if he comes back, he's doing it for the fans and the roster. He tells the roster to get up on the roster, as they are not beneath him. He then asks the fans if they want to see him take TNA back to the promised land, and they cheer. He then professionally shakes hands with Dixie Carter and accepts the General Manager position, declares that a fun wrestling show will occur tonight, and then tells Ethan Carter III that he's defending the TNA World Heavyweight Championship tonight. His opponent? The winner of a 20-man battle royale...which happens next.
