Backstage, Myles Borne and Tavion Heights are locked in for their tag team title match.

Tony D'Angelo heads to the ring. D'Angelo mentions Grayson Waller's promo from the start of last week's show and how it disrespected everyone, and that Grayson will not use his title as a boomerang to get himself what he thinks he is owed. He says he will not let Grayson use him as a stepping stone and get what he wants at his expense, but before he can move on to other business, Grayson Waller shows up and interrupts. Grayson is on the balcony as he states that he is "the money fight" and that Grayson and the NXT Championship go through him. D'Angelo says Grayson is not in the ring with him because he is a bitch, then mentions how they were partners back in WarGames. He talks about how Grayson Waller was the only person on their team without a singles title history, then says Grayson is only in NXT to make himself relevant and win the title, but unfortunately for Grayson, he is champion. Grayson says the men's roster is more relevant than ever thanks to him, then says that D'Angelo lost his balls along with his mafia family. As Grayson continues to speak, Cruz Montana - who D'Angelo called out earlier to continue last week's conversation before Grayson interrupted - shows up. Montana says that D'Angelo did not call Grayson out here, but he might as well "give [Grayson] this work." He gives Grayson credit where credit is due for rattling cages, then says he put in the work instead of insulting people and proved over time that he is who he says he is. He says Grayson has a chip on his shoulder because his comfortable life is not so comfortable, while he has one because he has no other option but to survive. He hopes Grayson never meets the man in the mirror he went to war with. Montana says the difference between him and Grayson is that he spent years proving he belonged while Grayson spent years proving people should notice him. Grayson says Montana's opinion does not matter, and that he is embracing his demons. Montana tells Grayson that he only fights for himself and that it will not get him anywhere, and when he has people who depend on him and hold him accountable, that will make him "the man." D'Angelo says that he does not care about either man's motivations and know they want his title, then tells them to meet with General Manager Robert Stone to make a match over who faces him for it.

Lucien says Bronco should do what he has to do, and says he should get his back-up plan as Birthright (Lexis King, Uriah Connors, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Arianna Grace) show up trying to drive a wedge between them again. This leads to a challenge to a one-on-one match, and Lucien accepts, saying he has his back-up plan.

Backstage, Kelani Jordan meets with Grayson Waller, saying that she will win the NXT Women's Championship on the very first attempt. Mason Rook shows up and calls out Grayson Waller for calling him soft, saying he can do things in the ring Grayson cannot. As Grayson tells Mason Rook he does not know sacrifice, Mason is attacked from behind by Kam Hendrix, and referees show up to stop the ensuing brawl.

Shawn Spears shows up and says that he has gotten with Robert Stone and that next week it will be Izzi and Niko vs. him and Lizzy. Niko tells Shawn to take his own advice and quit while he is head. Lizzy makes it clear she does not trust him, and that if the match goes south, it will be three-on-one really quickly. Lizzy leaves, and Shawn says "Smart girl."

Keanu Carver beats EK Prosper with a small package.

Backstage, Osiris Griffin and Cutler James are worried about Dion Lennox, who is upset that DarkState (Lennox, James, Griffin) is not as untouchable as they used to be and wants it to be untouchable again. He says that Saquon Shugars will not walk away from them again.

We look back on Kendal Grey winning the NXT Women's Championship at The Great American Bash in this week's NXT Focus.

We hear from Shiloh Hill, who says that he injured his maxilla in his last match with Tristan Angel and that he is now injured, and that he will be out for a while. He also mentions research he did on Kali Armstrong's college track career, the Intercontinental Championship tournament in 1979, and the actual history of the green mist in professional wrestling.

WWE acknowledges the passing of WWE Hall of Famer Dory Funk Jr. RIP Dory Funk Jr. (1941 - 2026)



As General Manager Robert Stone handles a phone call with a free agent, Cruz Montana shows up and finds out he will face Grayson Waller in an NXT Championship #1 contender's match next week. Stone leaves, Tristan Angels shows up and confronts Montana for being given a chance at a championship, but Montana reminds Tristan that he was not here when he was putting in the work last year when he was still in TNA.

Heyman proclaims that he is not just the greatest of all time, but "your humble oracle," and that he his humbled here tonight in the presence of the future in Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Heyman says he would introducing everyone to Roman Reigns at this point, but Roman Reigns has not been champion fora year and a half. He also says he would be introducing CM Punk, but CM Punk was not champion long enough to put his side plates on the World Heavyweight Championship. Heyman says Punk thought he would be married to the title forever, but Rollins crashed the wedding, and it was good. Heyman then introduces Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Rollins shames the fans for turning their backs on him after he won the main event of WrestleMania taunting him with chants for CM Punk and Roman Reigns for months, and tells the fans not to doubt him again. He also shames everyone in the locker room who made it their mission to stop him from successfully cashing in the Money in the Bank contract and for thinking they are smart and clever enough to stop him at every turn when he always has a "Plan B." He says that this "Plan B" was top secret and that he only told Becky Lynch and Paul Heyman about it, and together, they have absolute power, and there is nobody who can stop them, as this is the way forward and this is the vision. Suddenly, LA Knight shows up and heads to the ring. Knight says he is not here for a fight; instead, he reveals that Rollins faked an injury not to get to the World Heavyweight Championship, but to duck him. He credits Rollins for getting up and eating a BFT, then says Rollins pulled the wool over so much that even he is blinded, and after what happened at SummerSlam, he wants the World Heavyweight Championship, and he plan to hurt Rollins badly here and now to do it. Rollins tells Knight that if he wants to get into his ring and challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship here and now, he will not get it. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and takes offense to Rollins lying to him, the medical team and the fans about being injured and makes the match official for tonight.

Roxanne agrees, and says bringing all the gold back to The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Raquel, Roxanne) is all that matters. Raquel says they came to take the women's tag team titles back tonight, which Alexa and Charlotte are all too eager to accept. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up and makes it official and makes it start right now.

Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss retain the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships against The Judgment Day (Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez).



Backstage, Iyo Sky, Asuka and Kairi Sane are conversing when Rhea Ripley shows up and talks to Iyo Sky alone.

Nikki talks about how Becky had such great potential when she first met her, then says that Becky has turned out to be such a disappointment, as she left the women's division in her hands only for her hands to stab everyone in the back. She says she has come back to test herself, as this is the best that women's division has ever been, then wants to know why Becky came back. Becky says she is in Happy Gilmore 2 and Nikki is not, because she got Nikki cut.

He says he will not talk about how hard he worked for this, as every Superstar is working hard, and that he cannot talk about his hard life as everyone has to fight their own battles and he is nothing special in that case. He also says that he will not wish he was more careful so that this injury could not have happened, but he regrets nothing and he sees pieces of his soul all over the ring, as he wants to show his true soul and his honest face and encourge people that with will, one can endure pain as long as it has a reason and win. Dragunov says he fought with his soul as NXT UK Champion, and that as sad as he is to relinquish the championship and that somebody else will take his place, he knows that no one beats him except himself and that he will come back as a better man than the fans someday.

Not long after, Rusev attacks Jack Swagger with the Russian flag. Lana has to call Rusev off before he does the same to Zeb.



The Miz guests on commentary for the next match.

Dean Ambrose also shows up at ringside to observe the match...and distract Seth Rollins by tearing up the contract inside the Money In The Bank briefcase, dropping soda and popcorn in the briefcase, and stuffing JBL's cowboy hat in the briefcase. This is enough to continuously distract Seth Rollins to the point that Heath Slater wins a main event match for the first time in his career. Dean Ambrose gets to name his stipulation for his SummerSlam match.



Dean Ambrose gets to name his stipulation for his SummerSlam match this Friday on SmackDown!

After harsh words by Brie Bella (who says she'll embarass Stephanie McMahon and dedicating the match to all that Triple H and Stephanie tortured) and Stephanie McMahon (Brie Bella is a wanna-be reality star who wants to make a name off of her), the contract is signed.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for August 4, 2013

Eva Marie and Jojo watch Raw from the side of the entrance ramp. Eva Marie talks Fandango, who is at this point the hottest thing in wrestling and has a great main roster entrance. She wants to be Fandango's valet as a way to get out of training camp.

Ariane and Trinity are trying to find something to wear. Ariane feels they need someone other than Mrs. Sandra, the seamstress who has worked on their stuff since day one, to work on

Nattie guides Jojo and Eva Marie through catering. Eva Marie asks Nattie about Fandango, and says she wants to dance with him. Coincidentally, Fandango shows up and they bring that up. Eva Marie feels that if she can convince WWE, she can pull it off and fast track her way up.

The Bellas find out about their match against Trinity and Ariane tonight from Brian James, aka "Road Dogg" Jesse James. They describe their characters are "the nastiest you'll ever meet" and also explain Twin Magic.

Eva Marie brings the Fandango idea to Jane. She tells her she has a dance background. Mark and Jane tell her to bring her A-game at the rehearsal.

Jojo talks to Fandango...who also meet up with Eva Marie. Eva Marie confesses to Jojo that she has zero dance experience, which means she lied to Mark and Jane.



Brie and Bryan check out John Cena's place after the show. The Bellas, Bryan and John Cena travel there by private jet.

Eva Marie's boyfriend Jonathan gives Eva Marie a surprise visit, having flown all the way from the west coast to meet her. Jojo leaves them alone. Jonathan brings Eva Marie donuts, and pops the question "Will you marry me?" Eva Marie says yes. Jojo can't believe it when she finds out.

Ariane talks to Mike, a costume designer in Hollywood, as Vincent is driving. Mike says he can hammer something out within two to three days.

Brie and Bryan are finally at John Cena's house along with Cena and Nikki. Brie is amazed by the place. Nikki even test drives John Cena's Mazerati.



Jonathan says goodbye to Eva Marie for now. As Eva talks to Jojo as she gets ready for the rehearsals, she takes her engagement ring off, which raises Jojo's suspicions.

The Bellas, Bryan and John Cena swim in John Cena's pool. It's as extravagant as one can possibly expect.

Ariane meets Mike in person and checks out the costumes. She loves them.

Eva Marie meets Fandango for dinner. Eva Marie lies to Fandango about her dance skills. Fandango invites her to spend time with him at the club, and she accepts.

Eva Marie meets Fandango at the club. They head to a dance hall, but they don't dance. Nevertheless, Eva Marie is finally feeling uncomfortable.

The Bellas, John Cena and Bryan head to Aberdeen, Washington to see Bryan's house. Compared to John Cena's, it is a far more humbling residence. Nikki knows it is Bryan's childhood home, but is curious about how Brie would fit in with all of it.

Trinity gets a voice message from Ariane, saying she's got new costumes from another designer. Jon can't believe what's going on, and even mocks Ariane's voice message.



The Bellas have a wood-chopping contest. The Bellas try to use their assets to distract the guys, but John Cena absolutely dominates at cutting, but the Bellas win when Bryan can't even chop one piece of wood in three minutes.



Brie is worried that she's potentially sacrificing so much to live with Bryan. Nikki is convinced that Brie would be comfortable living Aberdeen throughout the year.

Eva Marie freaks out just before the rehearsal. Jojo wants her to come clean. The other Divas wish her luck.

Eva Marie does the rehearsal...and it becomes severely obvious that she lied about her dance background.

Ariane finds out Trinity's costume needs are a bit...different...from hers. When they meet Sandra and Ariane comes clean about the other costumer designer, Mrs. Sandra makes Ariane apologize for going behind her back...then refuses to fix it. They end up wearing an older set of wardrobes to the ring.

Eva Marie meets Stephanie McMahon...and gets chewed out. Thankfully for Eva Marie, she isn't fired.

Bonus clip: Eva Marie takes dance lessons. They don't go very well.



Bonus clip: The Bella Twins are city girls at heart, and Daniel Bryan says that Nikki would have a hard time living in Aberdeen, Washington. Foreshadowing, much?



Episode 2 is the debut of After Total Divas starring Renee Young and Alicia Fox, which recaps the night's events!
