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.

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.

Jeff states that his brother Matt will take the World title from EC3 next week. Matt Hardy shows up, sticks it to EC3, and pulls out a table, a steel chair and a ladder from underneath the ring. Matt Hardy and EC3 will square off for the World title in a Full Metal Mayhem match next week. Matt also announces that, as per Bully Ray, nobody will be allowed at ringside during the match...not even Tyrus.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 20, 2015

The Undertaker appears to start tonight's show. He pulls out a microphone and says that he is ready for battle. Streaks are made to be broken, but 'Taker is tired of Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar taking the fact that they broke The Streak and shoved it down everyone's throats. He calls Battleground his "true resurrection," tells Lesnar that he can't kill won't die, and says he will challenge and conquer The Beast himself.



Triple H and Stephanie McMahon talk in the back. Triple H says that Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar is in the bag for SummerSlam.

Team BAD (Sasha Banks, Naomi, Tamina) guest on commentary for the next match.

Charlotte beats Brie Bella with the Figure Eight.



Triple H tells Paul Heyman over the phone that Brock Lesnar/Undertaker is the main event for SummerSlam, and that Lesnar should not show up tonight. As he speaks to Heyman, The Miz complains about Big Show knocking him out last night. Triple H isn't listening to Miz, and he puts Miz in a match against Big Show.

Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego) beat The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) after the distraction from The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods).



Big Show beats The Miz with a giant elbow drop from the second rope. After the match, Big Show confronts Miz about him being "missing since the Attitude Era," and says he wants Ryback and the Intercontinental Championship.



Triple H and Stephanie McMahon find Paul Heyman backstage. Heyman is here to tell the WWE Universe that Brock Lesnar accepts the challenge at SummerSlam and leave. HHH and Stephanie don't trust Heyman, and agree on posting more security around the arena and warning the locker room.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon tell the WWE roster to stand between Brock Lesnar and Undertaker, and keep them from destroying one another before SummerSlam.

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.



As Triple H tells Stephanie McMahon that he will not press charges against Brock Lesnar and will just give him time to cool off, Seth Rollins - amazed at what just happened between Lesnar and Undertaker - shows up and says he has a lot to get off his chest. Triple H and Stephanie give him the go-ahead.

This starts a brawl between the team of Harper and Wyatt and the team of Reigns and Dean Ambrose. Harper and Wyatt get their offense in, but Ambrose isn't spent yet and he helps Roman Reigns get enough time to regroup and even the odds. Ambrose and Reigns stand tall and the end of this fracas.



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.



Team Bella (Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) guest on commentary for the next match.

Suddenly, Summer Rae shows up, dressed very similarly to Lana but in a slightly more liberal fashion. As Summer works her psychological warfare on Lana, Rusev shows up, speaks to Summer in his native Bulgarian before kissing her, then insults Lana. After Rusev leaves for his match, Summer Rae slaps Lana yet again.



John Cena, Randy Orton and Cesaro beat Kevin Owens, Sheamus and Rusev. During the match, Sheamus walks out after a quarrel with Kevin Owens, Owens walks out after super kicking Rusev in the face after being abusive to him for being laid out outside of the ring, and Lana shows up to give Summer Rae a beatdown.

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.

Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for July 16, 2015

Roman Reigns starts the show. He says Bray Wyatt can't break his focus and bring him down, and that if he could, he wouldn't have got him on Monday. As he announces he is teaming up with Dean Ambrose to face off against Sheamus and Big Show, Wyatt appears on the TitanTron. He knew Roman was behind him on Monday, and calls Roman "the stone monument of everything good in this world" and views himself as the hammer that destroys it and leaves it crumbling on the ground. Roman wants him to come down to the ring, but Wyatt has other ideas. After Roman mentions that Wyatt ran from him Monday, Wyatt tells him to go home and surround himself with those he loves most and tell them he loves them and that he's sorry, because after Battleground, he may not make it back home.

Stardust attacks Neville during a backstage interview.

Jojo interviews Naomi, Sasha Banks and Tamina. Sasha says it's their time to take over. Naomi officially declares the three of them BAD - Best At Dominating - and say they're the trifecta and that they're not here to make friends. They plan on dominating the Divas Division.



It is announced that Ryback is out with a staph infection in his knee and will not be able to defend the Intercontinental Championship at Battleground.

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.

Kurt Angle talks to Bully Ray. Angle has an idea, and a certain person isn't going to like it...

Kurt Angle shows up. He admits Ethan Carter III has talent, but does not like how EC3 is keeping the world title. He's talked with Bully Ray, who said the rematch never happened. Angle now has another rematch with EC3 for the World title, but it will have to wait until after he has a tumor removed from his neck. Eric Young shows up and says he beat Angle, and that he wants Angle taken out for good. He makes fun of Angle and his neck tumor before attacking him, but Angle fights back and brawls with EY. EY takes Angle down, however, and when Chris Melendez tries to make the save, he ends up taking a piledriver outside of the ring.
