Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 31, 2015

Sting appears to begin tonight's show. He admits that Triple H pushed him to his limits at WrestleMania 31, but he did the same to Triple H, and for that he has respect for him. But that was then, and this is now, and he now has his sights set on Seth Rollins, who he says "is no Triple H" and is only a legend is own mind. He also says that Rollins isn't even half the man that Triple H is. Sting says that the WWE World Heavyweight Champion has eluded him until now, and he plans to write the last chapter in his career by taking it from Rollins, who he says is in "for one heck of a ride."


Meanwhile, Seth Rollins and Stephanie McMahon have watched Sting's promo from backstage. Rollins is incensed with what Sting just said about him, but Stephanie does agree with Sting when he said that Rollins isn't even half the man Triple H is, but says that one day, Rollins will get there. Rollins then asks about his statue, and if it's ready for Night of Champions. Stephanie tells him to go ask Sting.

Kevin Owens beats Cesaro after knocking him ribs first into the commentary table.


Dolph Ziggler and Lana are backstage. Dolph tells Lana that Summer Rae was in the locker room for two seconds and that he grabbed a towel as soon as he saw her, but nothing happened. Lana, disappointed at the fact that Summer Rae saw him naked, silently walks away.


Before the next match, Bray Wyatt thanks Sister Abigail for her greatest gift: The Black Sheep, Braun Strowman. He tells Strowman this is his moment and to show what he stands for and why he exists. Wyatt says that after tonight, there will be no guessing when the end of the world will be, and that The Wyatt Family (Wyatt, Luke Harper, Strowman) will walk through undisguised. Strowman then gets the mic, and says that this isn't the beginning...this is the end.


Braun Strowman vs. Dean Ambrose ends after Roman Reigns fights Strowman in response to Strowman shoving Reigns. Not surprisngly, Strowman overpowers both men, and not even a steel chair to the back can stop him. Harper rushes in to kick Reigns, and Strowman chokes Ambrose out. Bray Wyatt then hits Sister Abigail on Reigns after thanking Sister Abigail for Strowman.


Renee Young interviews Seth Rollins, who is incensed that he can't find his bronze statue that was promised to him after SummerSlam.

She then said that she ran away due to her relationship with Rusev, but says she'll never forget Ziggler being naked in front of her. Lana is about to cry and just walks away.

Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) call The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) are a menace to society, culture, the Tag Team Championships...and furniture. For that last reason, they have decided to start the "Save The Tables Movement," and pull out a table from underneath the ring that is still in bubble wrap, stating that it is the last table there is, and say that The Dudley Boyz will do anything they can to break that table. They then start a "Save The Tables" chant.


The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) guest on commentary for the next match.

The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) in their first WWE match in a decade. Also, the table that was brought out before the match is nearly broken, but Xavier Woods saves Big E before the Dudleys can out him through it.


This Thursday on SmackDown: Miz TV with guests Dolph Ziggler and Lana!

Seth Rollins shows up. He says that he had no problem with Sting at all up until last week, and that he revered him as a legend in the ring...until Sting hijacked his statue and ruined the unveiling ceremony. Rollins proceeds to call himself a real man, and calls Sting out, demanding two things: to take back what he said about him at the top of the show, and to return his bronze statue. When he asks Sting to come out and tell him where he put his statue, Stephanie McMahon shows up instead. She knows that she asked him to call out Sting, but tells him to stop talking about Triple H and that Sting has gotten into his head. Rollins calls out Sting again, but this time he gets John Cena. He tells Rollins to remember this moment, as he is about to find out how expendable he is, and that Stephanie McMahon is the one who will make him miserable. After calling Rollins out on basically everything he's ever done since he turned his back on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, he tells Rollins that he's buying into their bullcrap, and if they really were their friends, he wouldn't be allowed to do what he's about to do: cash in his rematch clause for the WWE United States Championship at Night of Champions, forcing Rollins to defend two different titles in two different matches on the same night at that event. When Cena asks Stephanie is the match is on, she says yes. After Cena walks to the top of the ramp, Sting walks out and stands side by side with Cena.


Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for August 27, 2015

The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman) start the show. Luke Harper tells the WWE Universe that they are already dead but don't even know it, due to the lies that they have been fed, and says Bray Wyatt's truth will give them new life. Wyatt says that, unlike Roman Reigns, he doesn't use words like "brother" and "family" like a smokescreen to hide his selfish ways, and says family means everything to him. He says Sister Abigail has given him guidance and inspiration throughout his life, and that she has provided him a savior when he needed her most. Wyatt says that he knows all about Braun Strowman through Sister Abigail, who gave him to Wyatt because she knew where he would lead him. He calls himself "the new face of fear," Harper "the new face of desolation," and Strowman "the new face of destruction." Strowman then takes off his black sheep mask and gazes into the camera with a malicious grin. Suddenly, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose show up and walk down the arena steps before making their way to the ring. Reigns admits Strowman decimated them on Raw, but says it's not the first time they've been whupped and definitely not the last, and they're prepared to go down swinging.

He then states that everyone - including Sting - is jealous of Seth Rollins for all that he has accomplished, especially since leaving The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Rollins, Roman Reigns). He asks Sting what gives him the right to attack him without provocation, and tells Sting that he should be afraid of him. He says Triple H regrets finishing Sting off at WrestleMania 31, and that he begged Triple H to finish the job and make the match at Night of Champions. Rollins promises not only to defeat Sting, but to demolish him and "crush his old bones to dust."


Jojo interviews Sheamus. Sheamus knows that Dean Ambrose has a lot on his mind, and should keep both eyes on him, lest he Brogue Kick his head clean off his shoulders.

Final Impact - Impact Wresting recap for August 26, 2015

The show begins with The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) showing up. Jeff apologizes for breaking his leg and promises he'll make it up to the fans. He then says that in the beginning, only he, Jeff and the fans believed they would make it...and here they are. Jeff then says that Matt needs one more shot, and if he can get it, he can become TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Matt says it's been one year since TNA welcomed him back, and everyone from the company to the fans to his family have been incredible to him. He says that his last match with Ethan Cater III was incredible and could have went either way, and says he feels he is the man who can carry TNA into the future, and tells EC3 that he's taking the World title. Just like Jeff, he feels he can become World champion with one more shot. Ethan Carter III and Tyrus show up. EC3 says that in 1999, he was at a live event for a match that involved ladders...and the Hardys. Now that he's dealing with them, he says he couldn't be any more disappointed, and says that he was victorious in his last meeting with Matt...and that he's not getting his one more chance. EC3 and Tyrus turn around to leave, but Jeff Hardy wants to know from EC3 why he's a "grade A jackass." EC3 says he is a franchise, and says the World title is "top guy stuff." He calls Jeff "a daredevil who can't stick a landing" and tells him to tread lightly. Jeff knows he's not medically cleared, but he's ready to throw down with a steel chair. EC3 whispers into Tyrus' ear, then says he's a granter of opportunities. He says that if the crowd can chant "Matt 4 Champ," he'll grant the rematch. He grants it, but there's a caveat: if Matt wins, he becomes World champion. If EC3 wins, Jeff has to be his personal assistant and has to do all his menial work.


Eric Young tells Chris Melendez he can't be held responsible for what happens to him, and says he's crazy to accept another match from him. He's taken everything he can from him, and now he plans to take the one thing he has left: his prosthetic leg.

Jeff and Karen Jerrett says they're happy to be here and that tonight will be a huge night on Impact Wrestling.

Eric Young beats Chris Melendez after putting legs hand on the ropes during the pinfall. EY takes Melendez' leg, calls himself a "big game hunter," then says that "it's going on the mantle."



Tigre Uno retains the TNA X Division Championship against Sonjay Dutt and DJ Z.


"The Cowboy" James Storm tells Abyss and Manik that Mahabali Shera (or Khoya) is no longer part of The Revolution, and that it's all about them now. He wants Abyss and Manik to bring the gold back to them. Storm tells Manik that if he ever sees him dancing like a monkey again, he will cut him down.

The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) retain the TNA World Tag Team Championships against The Revolution (Abyss and Manik), thanks to Mahabali Shera stopping "The Cowboy" James Storm from doing much in the way of interference.


The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) appear again. Jeff says that Ethan Carter III is always throwing money around, and there are still a lot of unknowns about the deal. Nevertheless, Jeff accepts Ethan Carter III's caveat for Matt Hardy vs. EC3 for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship next week.

Brooke beats Velvet Sky by disqualification when Jade and Marti Bell attack Brooke outside of the ring. Jade and Marti Bell continue their attack on Velvet Sky, but Rebel shows up to make the save...or so we think. Rebel kicks Velvet Sky in the back of the head, and the three of them attack Velvet Sky.

Rebel is officially a member of The Dollhouse.

The cover girl for the 2016 TNA Knockouts Championship is...all three. Brooke, Gail Kim and Velvet Sky will all be on the cover of the calendar.

Ethan Carter III says that Jeff and Matt Hardy accepting his challenge is the best decision they've ever made, and says that after Matt loses, he wants no qualms about it as he welcomes Jeff Hardy to Team EC3.

Dixie Carter shows up. She says that when someone sincerely offers their help, you listen and be a team player, and do not let stubbornness get in the way. She says that she was one of the few people who knew that the opportunity for Jeff Jarrett to help was there, and says she couldn't be any happier. She asks him to come to the ring, and he does. Jarrett says that the new chapter in their relationship was so out of the blue that it was the very last thing he was expecting, but he's glad it happened. He says that he's glad that Dixie accepted his help after what has happened since that phone call, as it is win-win for TNA, Global Force Wrestling and the wrestling fan. He says they've kept it going, but they've got to keep it growing. Dixie says that together, he and Jarrett are unstoppable, and that the show needs a leader. Before Dixie can make a decision on whether to make Jarrett that leader, Drew Galloway crashes the proceedings. He says that the TNA-GFW partnership has gotten everyone in the back fired, and respects Jeff Jarrett for what he's doing, but says that he found out something twenty minutes ago: security footage showing the license plates of the two getaway cars from the attacks, both sharing one name: Jeff Jarrett. Galloway knows that with him and Bully Ray out of the picture, Jarrett has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Jarrett vehemently defends himself, but Galloway threatens to drop him where he stands if he's lying about who it was. Suddenly, the perpetrator reveals themselves: Karen Jarrett, who says she did it for her family and for Global Force Wrestling, saying that Jeff deserves this. She says that Jeff started TNA, and that one little spark can cause a giant inferno. All of a sudden, Jeff Jarrett kicks Drew Galloway in the balls, and as his Global Force Wrestling storm the ring and attack Galloway, Jarrett tells Dixie that sometimes, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Rockstar Spud and the TNA locker room rush in to counter them, but it turns into an all-out brawl where the GFW roster comes out on top. The show ends with the GFW roster and the Jarretts celebrating the start of a hostile takeover of TNA.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for August 25, 2015

Alicia Fox and Nattie go get a facial...and they both find out it is thermal facial hair removal.

Nattie talks with Brie. She has heard from Mark Carrano that WWE wants to put her in more of an ambassador role due to her veteran status in the Divas Division, and feels it is because her age is starting to show.

Brie says she is going into the studio to record her own version of "Beautiful Life," her solo theme song. Nikki considers doing the same thing for the Bellas theme song.

Nattie asks some guys backstage how old they think she looks, to hilarious results.



Paige is on the set of Santa's Little Helper when she gets a call from Kevin, who has showed up on location shooting with a bouquet of flowers.



Brie heads to the studio to sing, and finds out that signing isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Brie mentions the studio trip to Nikki and R-Truth, and John Cena walks in on the conversation, having no idea what's going on. Nikki thinks she can do better than Brie.

Nattie tries to learn what "fleek" is after Alicia Fox says it.

Paige and Kevin have a night out when a fan shows up to have a photo taken with him, then asks to take a shot with him before having another photo taken. Paige feels like the fan went a little over the line, and confronts Kevin over it, saying that if he does this in front of her, then she can't imagine what's going on behind the scenes.

Nikki is convinced that she's better at Brie than singing, and plans to prove it.

Paige meets up with Rosa Mendes. Paige wants to test Kevin to see how faithful he is to her after Rosa Mendes mentions the idea and how she tried it on an ex-boyfriend.

Nikki goes into the studio with Jim Johnston, renowned WWE entrance theme composer and head of the WWE Music division, and brings Renee Young along as a guest. Much like Brie, she finds out singing isn't all it's cracked up to be. Nevertheless, she still thinks she's a better singer than Brie.

Renee Young shows Brie footage of Nikki in the studio. Brie finds it hilarious that Nikki thinks she's better than her.

As they talk, a man gets in the shot and when he is asked to get out of the shot, he becomes disrespectful and starts an argument which ends with Tamina nearly getting her hands on him. Tamina quickly becomes the voice of reason alongside Trinity and tells Nattie not to let people tell her she can't do something because of her age.

Brie and Nikki film a segment for Extra Sports where they learn to play. Nikki tries to make it a competition, and Brie tells her that she's singing the National Anthem tonight.

Paige finally meets up with Kevin and tells him "he passed the test," but it ends up becoming very awkward for Kevin, who leaves the bar without making too much of a fuss to cool down.

Paige heads back into the hotel room and meets with Kevin. Paige mentions that she did this because of what happened with Bradley. Kevin tells her he doesn't want to do anything to mess up their relationship and forgives Paige.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 24, 2015

At the beginning of the show, Triple H talks to Seth Rollins. He tells Rollins that because of him, SummerSlam has lived up to the hype and he is now everything that The Authority has imagined to be...and that he is now the man. As promised, Triple H is ready to unveil his statue later tonight.


Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar show up. Heyman is not thrilled with the fact that Undertaker beat The Beast, especially after how everything unfolded, and insists that Lesnar made 'Taker tap out, saying that 'Taker can still go, but not against Lesnar. Heyman then states that Lesnar wants to fight 'Taker one more time, and wants to fight him right here, right now, tonight. Instead of getting Undertaker, however, Lesnar and Heyman get Bo Dallas, who once again proves he's the dimmest bulb in the WWE and gets destroyed with a couple of German Suplexes after he gets in the ring tells Lesnar to Bolieve. Heyman and Lesnar leave, then Lesnar turns back and circles Dallas before hitting him with another German Suplex. They leave again, but Heyman tells Lesnar to go back and do an F5 for him. He does.


The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) guest on commentary for the next match, just in time for The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) to celebrate their win by singing about themselves and how filthy Brooklyn is as Xavier Woods plays trombone.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) beat The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto). The celebration is cut short, however, as the dancing and trombone playing is spoiled by the surprise return of the The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley). The Dudleys immediately clean house, and Xavier Woods is the first WWE Superstar in a decade to fall victim to a Dudley Death Drop through a table. They send a message to The Prime Time Players, asking them "Do you know who we are?"


We take a look at John Cena's 500th Make-A-Wish granting on Today for eight-year-old lymphoma patient Rocco Lanzer and his family, who are in attendance tonight.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon look at Seth Rollins' statue. Rollins shows up (after the statue is hidden from his view, of course) and thanks them for everything.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper is suddenly interrupted by a man in a black sheep mask. The man behind it, however, is not Erick Rowan, but looks a lot like Bray Wyatt. He stares down with Roman Reigns, and stops the Superman Punch cold before tossing him around like a rag doll. This ends the match, but this sudden addition to the Wyatt Family isn't done as he fights off both Ambrose and Reigns at the same time, easily swatting Reigns away before choking him out. He then finishes Reigns off before doing the same to Ambrose after being kicked in the side of head to absolutely no effect. Both Harper and Wyatt embrace this man - with Harper going so far as to laugh with malicious glee - and the Wyatt Family has one more member.


It's time for Miz TV! Tonight's guests are Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch). Charlotte is not at all impressed with The Miz's legacy when The Miz mentions that her father taught him the Figure Four Leg Lock and that he has since surpassed Ric Flair's legacy. The three of them make it clear that they are here to usher in a new era of the female athlete, and prove they can be as good as any man. As Paige speaks, Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) show up to say that they are the only dominant and empowering group in the Divas Revolution, which almost causes Team Bella and Team PCB to come to blows when Becky Lynch calls Alicia Fox "the Nene Leakes of the WWE." Nikki Bella then states she is soon to become the longest-reigning Divas Champion in WWE history, which causes both teams to get in each others' faces. The Miz tries to butt in, telling everybody to shut up, then tells Team PCB to emulate him if they want to go anywhere in the WWE before calling them "three cackling women with a hashtag who wrestle like a bunch of girls." This is enough for Team PCB to surround Miz, but Team Bella attacks Team PCB from behind. Miz TV ends with Team PCB getting tossed out of the ring.


Team Bella (Brie and Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) beat Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte, Becky Lynch).


Stardust turns on King Barrett, hitting him with the Queen's Crossbow before their tag team match, which never officially happens. Neville shows up, and he and Stardust brawl briefly before Stardust flees.


The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) return to SmackDown this Thursday!

Recently retired host The Daily Show and recent host of SummerSlam Jon Stewart shows up. He says that his actions at SummerSlam were not to help The Authority or Seth Rollins in any way, but because he felt he could not let John Cena tie Ric Flair's record of sixteen world championships, much to the delight of the Brooklyn, New York crowd. As Stewart speaks, Flair himself shows up, much to Steart and the fans' surprise. Flair appreciates Stewart's actions, but admits he was pulling for Cena last night, saying that sooner or later that the record will be broken and he'd rather it be broken by someone he respects. Flair tells Stewart that he has messed up everything, and before anything else can be said, John Cena shows up wanting a word with Stewart. He is at peace with Stewart, but says that due to his actions, Rollins has become a dual champion now that he has lost the United States Championship and the tarnish that Cena brought back to the title has been dulled again. Stewart admits he did not think that through, but continues to defend his actions from last night, and tells Cena that he can win the title back. John Cena responds with an Attitude Adjustment to Stewart. Stewart is tended to by medical staff after Cena leaves.


Renee Young interviews John Cena. Cena tells Renee he's having another talk tonight...with Seth Rollins.

Randy Orton, Cesaro, Ryback and Dolph Ziggler beat Sheamus, Big Show, Rusev and Kevin Owens after Big Show accidentally hits Sheamus with a knockout punch. After the match, Kevin Owens and Rusev argue with Big Show before the big man fights with both of them only to end up on the business side of a double-team Cannonball. Show is left high and dry to fall victim to a Ziggler super kick and a massive RKO from Orton with the help of Ryback and Cesaro.


Triple H and Stephanie McMahon show up, with the case containing Seth Rollins' statue already in the ring. Stephanie wishes her father Vince McMahon a happy 70th birthday, and everyone (including Triple H) sings along to Happy Birthday. Triple H puts Seth Rollins on a pedestal, saying that Rollins has the hustle, loyalty and respect that John Cena has - and that Rollins is also a winner - before bringing Rollins out. After Seth Rollins himself to legendary Brooklyn players (assuming there are any, according to him), saying that he himself became a legend at SummerSlam and defending his statement that John Cena is a disease, the bronze Seth Rollins statue is finally unveiled...only there's no statue. Instead of a statue...it's Sting. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon back away before Rollins and Sting brawl, and Sting comes out on top. Sting then lifts up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship



In a backstage interview exclusive to the WWE Network, Triple H makes a match between Sting and Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and instructs Rollins to finish what he started at WrestleMania 31. It's showtime.

We learn after the show that the man in the black sheep match is none other than Braun Strowman, "Abigail's Black Sheep."


Here are the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

He then says even long-term fans will appreciate what's going into Season 4 of Arrow.

Jon Stewart welcomes us to SummerSlam. He says that unlike politicians, the WWE Superstars actually respect their audience. He, like some members of the WWE Universe, still has a bad taste in his mouth from Brock Lesnar beating The Streak at WrestleMania 30, then names the Superstars in tonight's matches to gauge audience response, then says he plans on interviewing Brock Lesnar tonight...with a little help from Mick Foley. Foley shows up trying to put his teeth in, and was under the impression Stewart was interviewing The Rock and not Brock Lesnar. Stewart can't believe it, and Mick Foley tells him he's on his own as he's not taking a journey to Suplex City. Foley and Stewart then leave.

The bell rings without the referee calling for it, as the timekeeper saw 'Taker tap to the Kimura Lock, but the referee did not as he was checking Lesnar's shoulders to make sure they were not down during the hold. The match continues, regardless, and after a low blow and an opportunity to lock in the Hell's Gate, Lesnar taps out and the match goes to Undertaker. The replay later proves that the timekeeper did see 'Taker tap out, but the official result still stands. Paul Heyman refuses to accept the loss, and declares Lesnar the winner by submission.

My predictions for WWE SummerSlam 2015

Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker

Almost 18 months after WrestleMania 30, revenge has finally arrived. The Undertaker has returned again, and this time he wants his win back from Brock Lesnar after Lesnar snapped "The Streak." To quote these two powerful forces, Lesnar says he wants to kill 'Taker...and 'Taker says he's gonna have to in order to stand a chance in hell.

My prediction: 'Taker's getting his win back.

John Cena vs. Seth Rollins

for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and the WWE United States Championship

Well, it was bound to happen, wasn't it? All those months after being kept by The Authority from going after the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Cena finally lays it all on the line to prove that he's a real fighting champion compared to Rollins. Whoever wins this will be the first to hold both titles at the same time...

My prediction: Cena will be taking both titles.

Big Show vs. The Miz vs. Ryback (c)

for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Ryback is now back from battling a staph infection...and both Big Show and The Miz have unfinished business that could not be completed at Battleground. Miz wants the title back, and Show wants to put Ryback in his place while taking the title at the same time...

My prediction: Ryback will probably retain.

Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper vs. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose

in a Family vs. Family match

Double your pleasure, double your fun! Wyatt isn't done with Roman yet, and at Battleground, he threw him - and the rest of us - for a loop when he brought Luke Harper back into his fold. Wyatt has asked Roman to bring "his lunatic" Dean Ambrose to a Family vs. Family match to settle the score...

My prediction: Harper and Wyatt are going to win this one...somehow.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods)
vs. Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego)
vs. The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto)
vs. The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) (c)

in a Fatal 4-Way match for the WWE Tag Team Championships

The New Day get their rematch...but Los Matadores and The Lucha Dragons also get a fair shot at the titles, too!

My prediction: The Prime Time Players will retain.

Stephen Amell and Neville vs. Stardust and King Barrett

Oh, hey, it's another match with a celebrity in it. Yeah, that's all I got for this one.

My prediction: Amell and Neville - the Green Arrow and the Red Arrow - are obviously and predictably going to win this one. C'mon, y'all.

Team Bella (Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox)
vs. Team B.A.D. (Naomi, Tamina, Sasha Banks)
vs. Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte, Becky Lynch)

in a three-team Elimination match

It's all come down to this. Every since Charlotte and Becky Lynch showed up on the main roster to help Paige with her revolution - and Sasha Banks also showed up to help Naomi and Tamina - these three teams have been fighting tooth and nail on both Raw and SmackDown to determine who is the team to beat. It all comes down to this!

My prediction: Team Bella will probably win this one out.

Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens

Oh, boy. This one's been brewing for a little while. This one started with Cesaro and Kevin Owens fighting over the United States title, with Owens stopping Cesaro from winning it the first time so he could personally take it from Cena, which he failed to do. Cesaro is still miffed at Owens...and Owens, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, doesn't care. Now it's personal...

My prediction: Kevin Owens will probably win this one.

Randy Orton vs. Sheamus

Because having them fight each other at Battleground wasn't enough.

My prediction: Orton won last time, so Sheamus.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev

It all started when Rusev injured Dolph Ziggler by slamming Ziggler's throat into the top of his crutch back when he feigned injury. Since then, both Summer Rae and Rusev have been hounding Lana, and it's gotten so bad that Lana has had to get physical with Summer Rae a couple of times. But on the last Raw before SummerSlam, Dolph Ziggler made a surprise return and floored Rusev! Ziggler has since lobbied for a match against Rusev at SummerSlam...and now he's got it!

My prediction: Ziggler all the way.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for August 20, 2015

Ryback and Big Show fight to a double count-out after Ryback knocks Big Show through the timekeeper's area, sending both men down and unable to get up.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) beat Los Matadores (Fernando, Diego, El Torito).



Dolph Ziggler and Lana show up. Ziggler says it's great to be back, and it's great to be back with Lana. He had no idea if he would come back during the last six weeks, especially when he was having meals through a straw. His first instinct was to check on Lana. Their first order of business? According to Lana, it's to "crush those bastards." They both have a laugh about giving Rusev and Summer Rae a hard time, then Lana says Rusev can enjoy having an imitation Lana while Ziggler gets the real thing. Rusev's flag soon comes down, and Rusev and Summer Rae arrive. Rusev tells Ziggler he'll know what pain really is by the time he's done with him at SummerSlam, as will Lana, and says his comeback will be over. Ziggler tells him his comeback won't start until after SummerSlam, when he kicks Rusev's teeth down his throat, steals the show and steals Lana...again.



Neville quickly beats Bo Dallas. After the match, Stardust and King Barrett taunt Neville via the TitanTron.



Before the next match, Alicia Fox announces that Nikki Bella will be the longest-reigning Divas Champion in 26 days. Nikki says Sasha Banks will be a great Divas champ, but that won't be happening anytime soon, saying Sasha beating her on Monday night was a fluke and that she is the most powerful woman in sports entertainment worldwide. As she continues to speak, Team B.A.D. show up, saying Nikki does not speak for them. Team B.A.D. (Naomi, Tamina, Sasha Banks) show up, saying they don't speak for them. Sasha Banks and Brie Bella argue, with Sasha calling Brie "Daniel Bryan's wife," saying that Brie is always riding D-Bry's coattails. Team PCB's Charlotte and Becky Lynch show up, saying both of them are in for a good old-fashioned lass kicking.

Brie Bella beats Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch in a three-way match.



Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns tells Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper they picked the wrong family to mess with, Randy Orton tells Sheamus he'll see the RKO coming...and Cesaro just wants to beat Kevin Owens and maybe get a new "Lose Owens Lose" shirt.

Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Cesaro and Randy Orton beat Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Kevin Owens and Sheamus.

Turning Point 2015 - The Results

Jeff and Karen Jarrett arrive to start the show. He says that Global Force Wrestling is waking up the wrestling world as of late, and last week's show was no exception. He announces a first: a GFW athlete takes on the TNA World Heavyweight Champion for his title as PJ Black takes on Ethan Carter III. EC3 isn't too thrilled, and shows up to make his dissatisfaction known. Karen Jarrett shows up and reminds EC3 just who he's dealing with, but when she mentions the backstage attacks and implies EC3 took out Bully Ray and Drew Galloway in the last two weeks, EC3 denies any part in it. As he's about to leave, Jeff Jarrett stops him (calling him "Eddie Haskell" in the process) and threatens to tell Dixie Carter to call the TNA Board of Directors, leading to one of two things: either EC3 will have to defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, or he will have to be stripped of it.



Drew Galloway thinks that Eli Drake attacked him backstage last week, and he has plans to take him out tonight.

Mr. Anderson beats Bram in an Open Mic Challenge.



Bobby Roode confronts Jeff Jarrett backstage again.

Ethan Carter III is not happy with Jeff and Karen Jarrett insinuating that he is behind the backstage attacks. He also tells Dixie Carter to do the right thing for TNA and not strip him of the title.

The Revolution (James Storm, Abyss, Manik) show up. Storm defends his actions as leader of The Revolution, then calls out Mahabali Shera. Shera shows up and tries to make amends with him, saying he made him when he joined The Revolution. When Storm wants Shera to rejoin The Revolution, however, Shera has none of it, saying that he's just like all of the fans here. He then dances with the fans in the front row, much to the chagrin of James Storm. He then gets Manik to join in, then Abyss. Storm is angered by this, and says him being like the TNA fans is a bad thing and makes him a joke. Shera attacks Storm, but Abyss attacks Shera from behind. Abyss, Storm and a reluctant Manik easily outnumber Shera and take him down.





Jeremy Borash interviews PJ Black, who plans to move on up and take the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Ethan Carter III. Suddenly, Eric Young shows up and says that he should be the one going for the World title, and plans to take what's his.

Gail Kim beats The Dollhouse (Jade and Marti Bell) in a Six Sides of Steel Handicap Match.



Gail Kim is looking for Taryn Terrell backstage...

Matt Hardy tells an angry Ethan Carter III that he's not done with him yet, and that as long as EC3 is champ, he will come after him. EC3 sics Tyrus on Matt, who says that this isn't over.

Eli Drake is in the ring. He neither confirms nor denies that he attacked Drew Galloway backstage last week, but says he plans to beat Galloway tonight anyway.

Drew Galloway beats Eli Drake.



Taryn Terrell runs into Velvet Sky, who tells her that her days are numbered.

Velvet Sky and Gail Kim trap Taryn Terrell, handcuffing her to a pole. Velvet Sky then tells the cameraperson they don't need to see this.

Eric Young shows up. He calls himself the greatest wrestler in the world and the most dangerous man in TNA now that he's taken down Kurt Angle, and plans to change someone's life forever. Chris Melendez shows up, and he wants a rematch against EY as he knows he can beat him, and says he'll do whatever it takes to get it. EY says he has nothing to prove, and tells him to leave, but Melendez tells him he's not budging. EY then gets an idea: Melendez puts his prosthetic leg on the line, and if EY wins, he gets to display it like a trophy. Melendez tells EY he's crazy, but he accepts the challenge. EY then hits Melendez, but Melendez fights back.



Dixie Carter tells Jeff Jarrett that she's prepared in case Ethan Carter III decides not to defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

Matt Hardy beats Tyrus. After the match, Matt Hardy is blindsided by Ethan Carter III, who attacks him with the title. He then tells Jeff Jarrett to bring out PJ Black.



Ethan Carter III retains the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against PJ Black.



Jeff Jarrett has another wild idea: he wants to run Impact Wrestling on a weekly basis. Dixie Carter asks him to give her a week.



Generation NXT - NXT recap for August 19, 2015

William Regal appears to start the show. He holds a contact signing for the NXT Women's Championship match at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, and Bayley and Sasha Banks show up to sign the contract. Bayley thanks Regal and the fans for everything, and says that this will be different from the other title shots and that everyone can feel it. Sasha tries to tell Bayley she's scared of her, and that she's not as good as she is. After she puts her stamp of approval on the contract, Bayley tells Sasha that she's ready to fight right now. Sasha responds by mocking Bayley outright, saying she's not a threat unlike Charlotte and Becky Lynch and that she's a loser and not worth it. As Sasha Banks walks away, Bayley charges at Sasha Banks and beats her up before officials stop the brawl.



Tyler Breeze beats Rob Ryzin (who is never mentioned by name) with a Supermodel Kick. Before the match, Breeze shows up with a Jushin "Thunder" Liger mask, probably to mock him, and after the match, he places the mask on Ryzin's head, then mocks Jushin "Thunder" Liger before hitting Ryzin with a Beauty Shot to give a taste of what will happen this Saturday at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn.

Kevin Owens shows up with a ladder in his hands and places it, fully set up, in the center of the ring. He makes his final declaration to Finn Balor before NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, but as soon as everyone chants "Brooklyn Sucks," he tells the crowd at Full Sail University they're all hypocritical, undeserving pieces of trash before calling Finn Balor "flavor of the month" and saying he'll beat him for the NXT Championship in front of a crowd that's actually deserving of such a match. He goes on to call Beast in the East a fluke, and says it won't happen again at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn as Finn Balor will encounter a different Kevin Owens. He tells Finn Balor that he's going to climb up the ladder and take the NXT Championship as Finn Balor is tended to by medical staff. The lights go out, then come back on, and Owens notices that Finn Balor is sitting on the top turnbuckle. Both men brawl, but Finn Balor easily overpowers Owens, then tells Owens he's going to kick his arse and shut his mouth.

Rollins is introduced first, and congratulates Triple H and Stephanie for setting up this year's SummerSlam as well as the WWE Universe for becoming part of history when he beats Cena and becomes a dual champion with the US and World Heavyweight titles. He then signs the contract, then talks about how John Cena plays the role of Superman and keeps people from "knocking him off the top of the mountain," and calls Cena a villain and "a disease." As he talks about how he inoculated the WWE Universe by kneeing Cena in the nose and became the cure, and how Cena accepted his challenge on Tough Enough and not to his face, Cena shows up. He calls Rollins a cheap imitation, and tells him that Triple H hand-picked him to be the champion. He considers injuring Rollins himself as part of his payback, and tells Rollins that what he'll do to him at SummerSlam will haunt him for long after, and in the end calls taking the World Heavyweight title the true payback, because if Rollins loses, Triple H loses as Cena matches the total reigns of HHH's mentor, Ric Flair. He then tells Rollins that while Triple H wasn't Ric Flair's bitch, he's making Rollins his. He signs the contract and leaves.

Paul Heyman then both figuratively and literally sings Lesnar's praises until the arena briefly goes dark at the sound of a gong. Lesnar and Heyman laugh it off, being in on it, and tells Undertaker that he doesn't have what it takes to beat Lesnar at SummerSlam, as 'Taker won't be fighting a man, he'll be fighting a beast, and Heyman tells 'Taker that Lesnar will offer no quarter. The arena goes dark again, and this time 'Tkaer is in the ring. He hits a low blow, a choke slam and a Tombstone Piledriver on Lesnar to end the show.

He tells Lana that Summer can't accept Summer makes him happy, and that Summer can make her miserable. Rusev then says that his flag from Raw will soon replace the American flag, and says that Lana laid down like a cold fish after Summer put her in the Accolade.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for August 13, 2015

Seth Rollins shows up to begin the show. Rollins talks about how if we don't stop to soak stuff in, we'll be taking life for granted. He then compares himself to Babe Ruth and Michael Jordan, saying he is currently at the top of his game. As he brags about beating Randy Orton and Neville in recent weeks, as well as breaking John Cena's nose, he says that the WWE Universe's grandchildren and their grandchildren's grandchildren will know that the greatest moment in the WWE was Rollins in his prime. After a replay of Cena's recent appearance on Tough Enough, Rollins says that Cena accepted his challenge for SummerSlam, but is miffed he announced it on Tough Enough and had Daniel Bryan accept for him, so he wants him to accept it to his face next week on Raw. He then says that anyone who takes him on will fail, and as he lists who has failed, Neville shows up. Neville is tired of Rollins running his mouth, and says Rollins left out the fact that John Cena still beat him with a broken nose and that Sheamus would be World Heavyweight Champion right now if it weren't for Orton. Rollins just simply mocks Neville, and tells him to turn around and leave, but Neville isn't going anywhere and makes it clear that Rollins goes on...and on...and on...and on...until Cesaro shows up. Cesaro says that Neville is right about Rollins, as is the WWE Universe and the Cesaro Section, and as he talks, he is suddenly attacked by Kevin Owens. Rollins uses this distraction to attack Neville and talk trash to him afterwards.

Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper show up and talk about how humans are inherently evil and all it takes is the switch to be flipped. Harper says he's different as he was born holding the Devil's hand. Wyatt says he gave Harper sight, and says that Harper's eyes are set on Roman Reigns tonight. At SummerSlam, it will be family versus family. Dean Ambrose shows up as Wyatt speaks. Ambrose doesn't have much to say, and he's just here to see Roman Reigns talk with his fists.

Roman Reigns beats Luke Harper by disqualification after Bray Wyatt breaks up a pinfall. After the match, Dean Ambrose, who is also at ringside for the match, fights off both Wyatt and Harper, but Reigns makes the save. Harper and Wyatt are forced to escape through the crowd.



Rich Brennan interviews Sheamus. He says the WWE Universe is tired of the same old thing, and deserves to be entertained. He almost did just that on Monday night, but Randy Orton ruined everything. He plans to be back on next week's Raw so he can erase Orton out of existence so it's just him and Seth Rollins. He then says the future is just one Brogue Kick away.

The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) beat The New Day (Xavier Woods and Big E) after Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego) and The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) stop The New Day from walking out of the match.

He talks about his founding of Global Force Wrestling, and how it is competition at the highest level...which is what tonight will be like now that he is in charge.

EY says he doesn't care about the fans or Jarrett; he only cares about himself. He calls himself the King of the World, saying he beat Kurt Angle twice and took Chris Melendez's leg off because he felt like it. He then demands he play promoter and make a match between him and Jarrett for the King of the Mountain title, with every intention of taking the title as well as Jarrett's dignity and career. Jarrett says he doesn't work for him, and he damn sure doesn't work for EY. He says that the King of the Mountain is neither a GFW or a TNA title, and that the first-ever interpromotional King of the Mountain match is tonight. He gives EY a spot in it, then leaves.

There are a lot of unanswered questions with a lot of unknowns around here, and he's frustrated. Roode is also frustrated that he wasn't even considered for tonight's King of the Mountain match, and says if Jarrett has a problem with it, he should say it to his face. He also calls out Rockstar Spud for ending Austin Aries' TNA career last week, and Spud shows up. He says that that match is proof that anybody can come in and beat anybody at any time. Roode then sarcastically thanks him for a job well done. Spud says he'd never thought he'd be in the same ring as Roode and that Roode could be such a condescending prick. After talking about all the times he's proved people wrong, from becoming a wrestler to facing Kurt Angle to beating Austin Aries and ending his TNA career, and how he's been an underdog his entire life, he tells Roode that unlike other "little guys," this little guy fights back. Roode tells Spud he's right, but says that if he was in the ring with Spud and not Aries, he'd make sure he'd end Spud's career, and he'll take his aggression out on anybody that he likes.

Matt Hardy shows up and congratulates EC3 for beating him in a match that he and brother Jeff Hardy made into a TNA specialty, but tells EC3 that he is not going away as long as he is champion. EC3 admits that nobody has ever hit him as hard as when Hardy leg dropped him through the table, but he can't decide if he gets another shot at the World championship and lets the fans do it.
