Generation NXT - NXT recap for July 7, 2026

Kali Armstrong is in the ring to start tonight's show. She says she does not call herself "The Difference Maker" for no reason, and says that last week got to her after she watched Kendal Grey win the NXT Women's Championship. The only thing that went through her head as everyone cheered for Kendal was "There's my target," and says that she has been in the locker room and has heard it all about how some women do not get opportunities while others get them and blow it. Kali then says that once she flipped on Kendal Grey, everyone started talking about her, and that it was a matter of when, and not if, she leads the women's division and gets the NXT Women's Championship, and she has something for Kendal and Nattie. Lola Vice suddenly shows up and tells Lola Vice to slow her roll, and says that Kali did not do something just because she jumped Kendal, which she says makes Kali impatient. Lola also mentions she has yet to get her rematch. Lola says she will also be watching and that she will get her title back, and as Kali states that she will also be watching, Kelani Jordan shows up and says that neither of them are entitled to a championship match. Kelani says she did what one is supposed to do and earned an opportunity, yet nobody is talking about her and everyone is talking about Tatum Paxley, then says the title conversation revolves around her. Lola finally has it with Kelani, and Kelani punches Lola. Kali jumps in and clotheslines them both.



Dorian Van Dux and "Super" Sean Legacy beat Birthright (Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Uriah Connors, DarkState (Cutler James and Osiris Griffin) and OTM (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) in a NXT Tag Team Championship #1 contender's Fatal 4-Way match During the match, Saquon Shugars is seen watching the match from backstage before heading out with a baseball bat in his hands. Saquon later shows up, and Dion Lennox appears to cut him off. OTM has a brawl that heads to the back with Stacks and Charlie Dempsey, and that allows Van Dux and Legacy to double-team Connors to win the match and the title shot.



Tonight's NXT Spotlight sees Jaida Parker talking about her feud with Nattie that has seen her tap out to the Sharpshooter. Jaida says she has beaten Karmen Petrovic, then says that she is close to where she wants to be and that Nattie is only her to make her career relevant again, which has gotten Nattie a shot at the NXT Women's CHampionship. Jaida also says both she and Nattie are trying to level up, and that for her to level up, she has to put Nattie down.

Backstage, Emily Agard interviews Saquon Shugars. Saquon says DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Osiris Griffin) played a ruse on him, yet learned something from him, then says he is playing chess while they play Hungry Hungry Hippos and that they get scared when he pulls over. Saquon says this is not over and that he may have to find some friends, even though nobody trusts him at the moment and he will have to prove that he has changed. He says that DarkState will learn that he is up next and that they are up never.

Keanu Carver beats Tank Ledger.

We hear from Naraku, who says that he will not just accept defeat and walk away after The Great American Bash. He says Tony D'Angelo has gotten the win, but has not escaped his punishment, and that he will break his will and spirit. Naraku then asks D'Angelo how far he will go to keep the NXT Championship when he has blinded him with fire and blurred his path forward as champion, and says that there is more torture and pain in D'Angelo's future. Naraku says D'Angelo may have researched his career, but he still has no idea of what he is capable of, including becoming NXT Champion.



Backstage, Tate Wilder and Kam Hendrix argue over whether or not Wilder can beat Naraku next week. Hendrix says he is about 72.8% cleared. Suddenly, Mason Rook shows up and tells Kam Hendrix that he knows Hendrix is saying he put him on the shelf, and says that if she actually did, Hendrix would not be getting back up. Hendrix soon runs out of the room.

Layla Diggs beats Thea Hail, Izzi Dame and Lizzy Rain in an NXT Women's North American Championship #1 contender's Fatal 4-Way Match.



We hear from Nikki Blackheart, who says that when disaster strikes, it does not discriminate. She says that Tatum Paxley was her first victim last week, and that there is no telling who she will go after next. Nikki says she is here to dominate and that she is a natural disaster with purpose, then we learn her new name: Reina Volcan.

Tavion Heights suddenly shows up in the ring. Tavion says he was not going to come out here, but he was thinking about all he said before The Great American Bash. He says he can be cocky and arrogant as well as a bad brother, but he has the potential to be great and he can admit when he is wrong. He then says that he came to NXT expecting success only to be humbled, and when Myles Borne got the success he expected, that only blinded him. Tavion then shows up wanting to apologize to Myles Borne man-to-man, but The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, "The Smoke Show" Ricky Smokes, Jackson Drake) shows up. Baylor and Smokes says that Tavion should be apologizing for screwing them over, and Drake says that Myles handed Tavion a shot at his title only for Tavion to fumble the bag, and says that Tavion's biggest victory was a total fluke. He also says that if it weren't for Myles, Tavion would not have beaten him. Tavion tells Drake that if he wants a rematch, they can have it, then he punches Drake in the face only to be overpowered until Myles Borne makes the save. Both Tavion and Myles hug afterwards.

Backstage, Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno are talking when Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux show up. Moreno says Legacy and Van Dux had one match and are one win away from becoming tag team champions, but Noam says he and Moreno do not know each other as much as Legacy and Van Dux know each other, and they have known each other for years. Legacy says it takes time to build chemistry, and Van Dux says they will get there. Legacy and Van Dux then argue over whose name will come first when they become champions.

Niko Vance beats Shiloh Hill after Tristan Angels shows up and takes Shiloh Hill's fake tooth, distracting Shiloh and allowing Niko Vance to win. After the match, Shiloh chases Tristan to the back, and Shawn Spears shows up from behind Niko and blasts him in the back with a metal folding chair.

Nattie retains the NXT Women's Championship against Kendal Grey. During the match, Wren Sinclair attacks Nikkita Lyons and Karmen Petrovic at ringside when they try to get involved in the match, and Sinclair is outnumbered until Lola Vice makes the save and brings the brawl to the back. After the match, Jaida Parker shows up and confronts Nattie, and when Nikkita Lyons and Karmen Petrovic try to confront her, Jaida turns around and clocks them. Meanwhile, Kelani Jordan, Lola Vice and Kali Armstrong surround Kendal Grey on the ring apron to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 7, 2025

Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Bron Breakker, "Big" Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman head to the ring to start tonight's show. Bron Breakker takes the microphone and says that Rollins and Heyman have a vision of WWE that has him as the face of WWE for the next two decades, but he has a vision of his own: a WWE without Sami Zayn. As Rollins and Heyman are talking in the background, Breakker says he does not like Sami at all and that he will never understand why the fans cheer for someone with "the athletic ability of a dead fish" who is clinging to relevancy. He says that Sami has an expiration date and that he will put a stamp on it tonight, and if Sami comes down the ramp, he will maul his head off and leave him looking at the lights. Rollins asks Breakker if he is good, then hands the microphone to Bronson, who says that he is a tough act to follow just like Breaker, especially after he hit Rollins with six Tsunamis and caused Rollins to respect him so much to make him part of his vision. Bronson says that as part of Rollins' vision, he will get the respect that he deserves, and since "Main Event" Jey Uso does not respect, he will Tsunami the respect into him like he did Rollins. Heyman then takes the microphone and declares that tonight, "the empire strikes first," with Sami Zayn first on their list, saying it is Sami's ass if he does not flee back to Montreal, Quebec, Canada at this point. He says that Roman Reigns does not have the balls to come back thanks to Bronson, and that Jey Uso will be MIA thanks to him. Heyman then announces that Rollins will take care of Penta, and that Penta will be in no shape to do hand signals again after tonight. The fans chant for CM Punk, then Rollins welcomes everyone to tonight's show.



Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez notices candles and a photograph for Liv Morgan, noting that Liv Morgan is alive and that retaining their tag team gold and Roxanne Perez beating Kairi Sane would make a better picture foor The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez). Dominik then finds a "Get Well Soon" cake from "The Phenomena;" AJ Styles, who watches him from a distance, after Finn Balor and JD McDonagh leave to meet with General Manager Adam Pearce.



Kairi Sane beats Roxanne Perez with a backslide pin after avoiding Pop Rox. After the match, Roxanne and Raquel beat Kairi Sane up, then Asuka shows up and fights them. Raquel is about to hit Asuka with a Tejana Bomb, but Kairi is able to make the save for Asuka and help her take down Roxanne.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Sami Zayn, who says that he cannot pay attention to anything except Bron Breakker, as he is one of the most dangerous wrestlers in the ring. He says he will deal with Karrion Kross when he deals with him. Sami Zayn leaves, then Scarlett shows up and watches Sami Zayn.

Backstage, American Made (Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, Ivy Nile)meets with General Manager Adam Pearce. Brutus almost lets it slip that Chad Gable is El Grande Americano as Ivy Nile finds out she is in the Evolution Battle Royal. After American Made leaves, Asuka and Kairi Sane show up wanting a match with Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez, and they get it for Evolution whent hey become part of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way Match at Evolution.

We hear from Nikki Bella, who addresses Liv Morgan's attack on her and how it lit a fire in her, and now, she wants to return to the ring. She plans to enter the Evolution Battle Royal and do whatever it takes to get a title shot at Clash in Paris.



Karrion Kross attacks Sami Zayn before the next match before hitting him in the ribs with a pipe. Officials stop Kross before he can do even more damage. After the commercial break, Sami Zayn tells General Manager Adam Pearce and the medical team that he will still face Bron Breakker.

Bron Breakker beats Sami Zayn following multiple Spears.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce meets with The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) when The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) show up in mourning. As The War Raiders tell The New Day there are no automatic tag team title rematches, Becky Lynch shows up and stands up for The New Day.

Becky Lynch is in the ring. Becky wants to know how two people who lost to each other are now facing her in a Triple Threat Match for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, and that while she is the greatest women's wrestler to ever live, she beat both of them and should pick her own opponent. She accuses Bayley and Lyra Valkyria of being in cahoots with each other due to neither of them being able to beat her on their own, then Bayley shows up only for Valkyria to show up right after her and walk right past her to Becky. Valkyria calls Becky "a raving lunatic" before declaring it is time to take her title back. Bayley says she would be standing here as champion if not for Valkyria. Bayley says that WrestleMania has taught her that she does not need friends or partners, and that what she needs is the title. Becky laughs at this broken friendship before Valkyria tells Bayley she had nothing to do with Becky's attack on her. Valkyria then takes Bayley's admission of not needing friends or partners as proof that Bayley is just like Becky and that she will have to win the Women's Intercontinental Champion from "two big disappointments." Bayley tells Valkyria that she watched her rise to become a double champion only to lose to Becky and "raise her hand like a little bitch." This starts a brawl, and Valkyria comes out on top before sarcastically raising Becky's hand.



Backstage, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins congratulates Bron Breakker, but Breakker asks about Karrion Kross. Rollins tells Breakker not to worry about him when Paul Heyman shows up and states that Sami Zayn is out of action indefinitely. Rollins reminds "Big" Bronson Reed that "Main Event" Jey Uso is in fine health, but Bronson says he will not be after he is done with him.

"Main Event" Jey Uso beats "Big" Bronson Reed by disqualification after Bronson throws a chair from the announce table at Jey. After the match, Bronson Reed hits Jey Uso with two Tsunamis before officials show up to check on Jey.

We see a short video package for Stephanie Vaquer.

Gunther heads to the ring. He talks about how Goldberg has done nothing about anything he has done to him in the last two weeks, but as soon as he says that Goldberg is afraid of him and the pressure, Goldberg shows up[ in a red-and-black Chevy SS. Goldberg makes his way to the ring and confronts Gunther, smacks the microphone out of his hand and dares Gunther to hit him. Gunther swings, but Goldberg blocks and strikes back before going for the Spear, which Gunther rolls out of the ring to avoid.



Seth "Freakin'" Rollins beats Penta with a headbutt to the groin followed by The Stomp. After the match, Paul Heyman summons Bron Breakker and "Big" Bronson Reed, but Rollins is attacked from behind by LA Knight, who then runs through the crowd to end the show.

Backstage, General Manager Ava congratulates Karmen Petrovic and Arianna Grace. Arianna says that she was the MVP of the match even though Karmen got the pin, then says that this is the last time as she does not want an anchor weighing her down. Karmen thinks Arianna wants to know who is better between them, and Ava makes it a match for next week, much to Arianna's annoyance with Ava "pitting tag team partners together like that."

Nathan Frazer and Axiom retain the NXT Tag Team Championships against Chase University (Andre Chase and Duke Hudson).



In backstage footage from moments ago, Wes Lee says that tonight should have been his moment, but he failed and Oba Femi was the better man tonight. He says he needs some time to figure out what to do next.

Scrypts beats Kale Dixon.



Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown LIVE recap for July 7, 2023



The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) head to the ring to start tonight's show. They brag about beating the supposedly unbeatable Roman Reigns at Money In The Bank, then Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa show up. Heyman says that tonight, he serves as defense counsel for Roman Reigns. The Usos want him to stop talking, but Heyman says only one person who tells him to stop talking. Solo takes Heyman's microphone and tosses it to the side, then Roman Reigns heads to the ring. After the commercial break, the crowd chants "You got pinned!" at Roman as he stands in the ring. Roman reminds The Usos that they are not the Tribal Chief - and that Jey is not Tribal Chief yet - and says that if he did not call for tribal court, then this is not official and his time is being wasted. Roman asks who has the authority to put him on trial, but The Usos tell him that they will not be manipulated before providing a video package of proof of Roman Reigns mistreating them. This leads to a "You fucked up" chant from the fans. Roman says "No, I didn't," but the fans chant "Yes, you did." He says this is not who he is and instead who he was forced to be, and asks them if he really wanted to lower himself before saying he did it for The Bloodline. This leads to a "Bullshit" chant from the crowd. Roman says he was a WrestleMania main event long before The Bloodline and that The Bloodline needed him, not the way around, and that he lifted the entire Anoa'i family up and that he did not need to take on everyone else's responsibility. He says that he does need money or power anymore, and that "right now, umbrella service sounds real nice to me." He says he does not want or need this and that he is done with all of it, and that he does not want it anymore, and if Jey wants it, he is done. Roman Reigns and Jey Uso then stare down in the ring, the Roman takes his necklace off and places it around Jey's neck. He then throws down the Undisputed WWE Championship and gets down on his knees in front of Jey before visibly sobbing. Jey leans towards Roman, who then hits Jey with a low blow. Jimmy Uso then attacks Roman Reigns, and Solo Siko shoves Jimmy away before looking down at the necklaces that Jey Uso was just wearing. Jimmy charges at Solo, but Solo hits him with the Samoan Spike before picking up the necklace and looking at it. Roman demands the necklace, but Jey Uso attacks Roman and Solo from behind only to be laid out like Jimmy. Roman and Solo clear out the announce table, and when Jimmy tries to make the save, he is taken down. Solo then ties Jey up in the ropes, then Roman smashes Jimmy with the Undipusted WWE Championship while Solo forces Jey to watch, then hits both of The Usos with the ring steps. Jey finally frees himself from the ropes and attacks Roman, but Solo hits him with the Samoan Spike. Officials show up as Roman buries Jey underneath the commentary table chairs, and Solo Sikoa leaps from the barricade to splash Jimmy through the announce table.



We see an ambulance taking Jimmy Uso to the hospital with Jey Uso joining him in the ambulance.

Austin Theory retains the WWE United States Championship against Sheamus. During the match, Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson and Elton Prince) shows up as Sheamus has Theory in the Cloverleaf, and Theory gets the near-fall off the distraction. Butch and Ridge Holland then show up afterwards and brawl with Pretty Deadly, and Wilson eats the Brogue Kick before Theory grabs the tights on the schoolkid pin to retain.



It's time for The Grayson Waller Effect. Tonight's guest is Edge, who has a big announcement tonight. After Waller tries to pressure Edge into making his big announcement, Edge talks about how he debuted at Madison Square Garden at SummerSlam 1998, which was his first big show in WWE, and how the fans in New York City have opened up their arms since, and how he has been and continues to be a hard worked in WWE. Waller assumes that Edge is announcing that he is retiring and that is the last time that he will ever be in Madison Square Garden and asks the fans to thank Edge for all that he has done, but Edge reminds Waller that he has not had a match on the main roster and that he has "donkey paddled into some deep waters." He then says he is having a match tonight, and that it is against Grayson Waller.



It is announced that Jimmy Uso is being medically evalutated and that there will be an update on his condition soon.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles beats Karrion Kross after Mia Yim goes after Scarlett for getting involved in the match.



Asuka heads to the ring. She says that nobody is ready for her when Bianca Belair runs into the ring and attacks her, then Charlotte Flair runs to the ring and fights Bianca on the outside. As Asuka goes up top, Iyo Sky shows up from behind and hits Asuka with the Money In The Bank briefcase. Bayley hits Asuka with the Rose Plant, and Iyo Sky hits Over The Moonsault. Bayley tries to help Iyo Sky cash in, but Bianca pulls her out of the ring and Charlotte Flair boots Iyo Sky in the face and out of the ring.



Edge beats Grayson Waller. During the match, it is announced that Jey Uso has arrived back at the arena. After the match, Edge tells Waller "Hey, Waller...you swam.



Backstage, Paul Heyman tells Roman Reigns that Jey Uso is back and looking for him. Roman says Jey will not look long, because the Tribal Chief will be in the ring.

Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa are in the ring. It is not long before Jey Uso shows up from in the crowd. Solo goes after Jey, but Jey takes him down. Jey then grabs a chair and attacks Roman with it before Roman can hit him with the Undisputed WWE Championship, and when Solo takes the chair away from behind, Jey decimates Solo as Roman and Heyman make a retreat. Jew Uso then takes the Undisputed WWE Championship and tells Roman that he is looking at the judge, jury and executioner right now. He then tells Roman that this is now trial by combat, and that he does not care about brothers or wise men, and that he wants Roman Reigns to accept his challenge so he can whup his ass one more time.





This week on The SmackDown LowDown: Bianca Belair! Austin Theory! Edge!

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for July 7, 2022



"The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw beats Alisha Edwards in the BTI Match.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey retains the Impact X Division Championship againt Alan Angels (who is now on the independent circuit following the expiration of his All Elite Wrestling contract). After the match, Bailey and Angels shake hands, then Deaner and Joe Doering run in and attack both men. Doering lays out Angels with a clothesline, and Deaner hits Bailey with a Deaner DDT. Deaner tells "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander that it is not over until he and Doering says it is, then tells him to come out to the ring right now. Eric Young shows up for the first time since Slammiversary. After the commercial break, Eric Young asks Deaner "What happened? How did we end up here?" He says that this was not designed by him or part of his design, and that he is the designer. Deaner says that he thought this was what Eric Young wanted and that it was part of the mission, and when Eric Young did not do, they thought Joe Doering could do it. Eric Young says Doering was undefeated and one of the most feared men in wrestling, but now, it is clear that the sickness has taken hold of both of them, and he thought that they were different and the rest of the "diseased individuals." He says he thought their vision was clear, then says that the fans do not know the truth and that they are "useless." He says that he does not have much of a choice other than to purge them, then Deaner tells Eric Young is correct. Deaner says that Eric Young is right in saying that he is the designer and that their vision is clear, and asks Eric Young for a chance to make this right. Eric Young tells Deaner that from here on out, the world belongs to him, not to them.



Backstage, Honor No More meet. Mike Bennett says they are here to spread a message while bound by circumstance, then says that Impact does not want them here because they are the problem, not Honor No More. Kenny King says they are the truth, and for that, Impact and other wrestling companies want to stop them every step of the way. He says Impact tried to stop them before, but they cannot stop them now. Maria Kanellis-Bennett says that they cannot tolerate setbacks or failure, and Eddie Edwards that if Honor No More wants to complete their mission, PCO will have to decide how much he believes their mission, and must understand failure is no longer an option.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Chelsea Green and "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo. Purrazzo says her match with Mia Yim is a long time coming after she attacked her to seek relevancy, and tonight, Mia Yim will find out what happens when someone messes with her.

The Dark Order shows up, and Evil Uno asks Omega why he is ignoring the crowd and Adam Page, and asks why Omega is so afraid of Page.

Ethan says that Darby Allin skipped the line and says he plucked him from obscurity, and brought him in and up in the business.

A fan tries to jump the barricade, but Jericho beats him up and MJF dares another fan to do the same. MJF says he has beaten Jericho twice and yet Jericho still wants to fight him, but says that everyone wants "the MJF rub." Jericho says he should have let the fan from earlier beat him up, but he is Chris Jericho and he will not back down, and says he will go with any stipulation MJF may have, including having sex with MJF's mother. As the fans chant "Fuck his mom," Jericho says "Again." MJF says he will not be rattled, then says he used to be a big fan of Jericho's and followed every step of his career, and mentions Jericho's feud with Jon Moxley and what he put Jon Moxley through. MJF then says he is taking Jericho's blueprint and making it better, then mentions how the name "Jericho" comes from a Greek demigod and how he will put Jericho through "the five labors of Hercules." He says that he has five stipulations and states that by the fifth stipulation, Jericho will know that MJF is better than him. Jericho says if he can't get through the stipulations and cannot beat MJF, he does not deserve to be in AEW. Jericho then says he will accept his stipulations and beat them, and that this is no mythology. He signs the contract in front of him, but as he leaves, MJF says he comes from Plainview, Long Island New York - and not a "trash fire" like Miami, Florida - and says a deal is not done until both parties shake hands. After MJF demands he shake his hand, Jericho shakes it, but refuses to let go and pulls him into the Judas Effect.

In footage from earlier today, Tony Schiavone interviews Dr. Britt Baker says that she was forced into a match that nobody wanted to see with Nyla Rose and Vickie Guerrero, yet still came out with another win.

As she says that the only person who is soft around is Hikaru Shida, who will never hold the AEW Women's World Championship again and will be sent back down to obscurity into weeks, she tells Tony Khan to enjoy his blood money and says that maybe next time, Dynamite will take place in Saudi Arabia.

Cage then shows up and plows through security as Starks retreats.

Best Friends (Orange Cassidy and Kris Statlander) beat The Bunny and The Blade. Referee Audrey Edwards finds brass knuckles on The Blade before the match. Near the end of the match, The Blade produces another set as the referee is on the outside dealing with Orange Cassidy and The Bunny, and punches Orange with them as he goes for the Orange Punch. Before he can go for the pin, Statlander tags herself in, pushes The Bunny into The Blade and hits Big Bang Theory for the win.



In footage from earlier today, AEW officials award Jungle Boy with a trophy for being the first to win 50 matches in AEW, and there is a photo shoot to celebrate the occasion.

Tony Schiavone interviews Dan Lambert, Jorge Masvidal and Amanda Nunes of America's Top Team. Lambert says nobody in AEW told them anything about doing an interview and says he was skeptical about coming here because "AEW sucks." He thanks Tony Khan for the offer, then says he would rather watch wrestling from the 1970s and 1980s and listen to Gordon Solie call the action, as professional wrestling has gone downhill since the late 1990s and has become unwatchable. He says that Tony Khan told him he has been doing it the right and that they have provided a variety of performers with a fanbase full of hardcore fans, then says the lesson learned is "always trust your instincts." Lance Archer then shows up and hits Lambert with the Blackout as Jake "The Snake" Roberts directs traffic.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against Eddie Kingston and Penta el Zero M in a Street Fight. During the match, Nick Jackson hits referee Rick Knox with a 450 splash on the top rope as Matt taps to a rear naked choke. The Good Brothers then show up and attack Kingston, but Penta takes them out with a dive over the top rope. Matt escapes Fear Factor and spears Kingston, and as Brandon Cutler tries to spray Penta with cold spray, Frankie Kazarian powerbombs him through a table. Penta hits Matt with Fear Factor, but referee Paul Turner gets in the ring to make the count only to be pulled out of the ring by Nick Jackson, who soon gets clotheslined by Kazarian. Kazarian is then hit with a Magic Killer on the outside by The Good Brothers, then Eddie Kingston pours a bag of tacks on the mat. Matt his Kingston with a tassel full of tacks, but Penta hits him with a trash can. Nick Jackson soon hits Penta with a hurricanrana into the tacks, but Penta kicks out as original referee Rick Knox makes the count.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for July 7, 2015

The fourth season begins with Paige and Trinity meeting up with Alicia for a bite to eat. Nattie joins them not long after. There is talk that Brie and Nikki may be leaving for other interests, which ends when Brie and Nikki show up. Nattie says that she's working on getting a whole new look set up. It is also mentioned that Eva Marie is training at NXT. After the meal, Brie and Nikki know that the other Divas will be vying for the top spot as soon as they leave, but at the same time, they know that everyone is starting a new chapter in one way or another.

Nattie takes a selfie with Summer Rae and Emma, then talks with Mark Carrano. She pushes the dominatrix look idea, and that Eva has been helping her with it for the European tour. Mark Carrano says that Eva Marie won't be in the European tour, as WWE is basing her in California with the ultimate goal of making her the next top Diva, complete with a private coach. This surprises Nattie, as Eva Marie told her and the other Divas that she would be training at NXT.

Eva Marie is training with Brain Kendrick. She and Jonathan have also worked out their differences concerning his "husbandger" status.



Nattie tells the rest of the Total Divas about WWE's decision to base Eva Marie in California and giving her everything she needs over there. The other Divas are ticked with her having the company in her hands and the fact that she doesn't have to sacrifice everything, unlike them.



Brie and Nikki talk to Mark Carrano, and bring up Eva Marie. Mark says Eva needs dedicated 24-hour training for opportunities available in California. Nikki has the feeling that if she doesn't sign, she is going to be making a huge mistake.

Eva Marie and Jonathan have some time. Eva Marie is bruised and battered from training with Brian Kendrick, but knows this is just the beginning.

Nattie heads to a sex shop with Trinity and Jon Uso to study her new look.

Nikki has dinner with her mom. She second guesses why she's leaving WWE during the conversation.

Nattie has invited a dominatrix over to her house,,,and TJ finds out this isn't exactly his thing. Kidd goes straight for the Land Rover and gets out of the house. Nattie calls Tyson, who makes it clear that he's not purring like a cat. Then Nattie's mom shows up and gets involved for a little bit. Nattie has the feeling she needs to pull back a bit on the dominatrix gimmick.

The Total Divas along with TJ and Jon Uso, and Nattie mentions the dominatrix situation. She also mentions that Eva Marie has posted something on Instagram along the lines of "A lion does not worry herself with the opinion of sheep," which leads everyone to believe that Eva has no idea that, compared to them, she has a silver spoon in her mouth. Everyone talks trash about Eva, except for Trinity, who feels there's no need to and thinks that everyone is completely jealous.

Eva and Jonathan head to another training session with Brian Kendrick. Unlike other days, Eva is more reluctant and self- about her abilities, and Brain knows it. He tells her to take a walk and ask herself if she wants to do this. When she talks to Jonathan, she says she feels should be picking everything up immediately and feels that the other Divas are getting in her head, but Jonathan tells her that nothing comes on the first try and tells her to prove everyone wrong. When she gets back in the gym with her head back in the game, she nails it.



Brie and Nikki talk in private. Nikki has been doing a lot of thinking, and feels that maybe they shouldn't walk away. Brie is reluctant, but Nikki thinks it's best to go three more years and become the female versions of John Cena, but Brie thinks she's trying to force staying in WWE on her and still wants to keep her individual options open.



Lilian Garcia talks to Brie, and says she's heard that everyone in the Divas Division is ganging up on Eva Marie, and that she said at the beginning that she was training in Los Angeles.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for July 7, 2014

Roman Reigns heads to the ring to start the show. Despite Triple H saying that Reigns being in the Fatal Four Way for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Battleground is "best for business," he says that may be up to debate when he lays everybody out and takes the title. He responds to "Cena Sucks" chants by saying "When Roman Reigns is in the house, you're damn right Cena sucks." After proclaiming he'll become the new WWE World champ, Kane makes his entrance and stands at the top of the ramp. Regins calls Kane "Triple H's lap dog" and "Randy Orton's bitch." Kane walks down the ramp, and Roman and Kane go at it immediately. Numerous officials have to rush in to break it up, only for one of them to get choke slammed. More officials come out to break it up, but neither Kane nor Roman Reigns can be held back. After a Spear on an official and a Superman Punch to Kane, Kane retreats and Roman stands tall.



Tonight: Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is on Raw!

The Wyatt Family (Luke Harper and Erick Rowan) beat The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), despite the legal man of the Usos not being in the ring for the pinfall.



Randy Orton tells Kane he has his back, and hopes Kane will have his at Battleground. Kane agrees, and Seth Rollins loves this. Since Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are on vacation, Seth says it is important that all three men have each other's backs. He says that if Randy Orton or Kane win the WWE World title, he'll have to think twice before cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase. Randy Orton says he's beginning to hate Seth Rollins, but Kane says it's not as much as he hates Orton.

Alicia Fox attacks Nikki Bella in a match where both Divas have one arm tied before their backs...at least, Alicia was supposed to, but she went for the throat before the ref could tie her arm behind her back. The bell never rings, and the match never officially takes place.



Rusev beats Rob Van Dam with the Accolade.



Randy Orton beats Dean Ambrose.



Renee Young interviews John Cena. John Cena may have a lot on his plate, but he knows how to take care of business. Roman Reigns wishes him luck in his match, but Cena says he doesn't need it. Reigns says he'll need it at Battleground.

Fandango guests on commentary for the next match. He announces his entrance in the battle royal for the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship at Battleground.

Alberto Del Rio beats Dolph Ziggler to become #1 contender for the WWE United States Championship after a distraction by Fandango, who dances on the commentary table.



Goldust and Stardust talk about...something.



Fandango runs into Layla backstage. She thinks Dolph made Fandango jealous after kissing Summer Rae last week, and is afraid he Fandango still cares for Summer. He insists that he only has eyes for her. As Layla hugs him, Fandango sees Summer Rae.



Jerry "The King" Lawler thanks the medical staff at the hospital in Montreal, Quebec, Canada (this show is the first time there in about two years, and WWE's return to the city since Jerry Lawler's heart attack there last time) to a favorable crowd reaction before introducing Bret "The Hit Man" Hart. No matter what happened in the past (a reference to the Montreal Screwjob), it's great for him to be back in Montreal, and if he could lace up his boots one more time, he'd do it here. As he speaks, Damien Sandow shows up dressed as Bret Hart back in his heyday (under the name 'Bret "The Hitman" Sandhart") and starts to make fun of the Montreal Screwjob as well as Canada. When Sandow says talking wasn't Bret Hart's strong suit, Hart punches him as he says "No! Punching was." Sheamus fist bumps with Bret Hart when he enters the ring.



Sheamus beats Damien Sandow.



Renee Young interviews The Miz. He reads a letter from a fan, telling him to beat up Jericho and headline WrestleMania again.

Sheamus defends the WWE United States Championship against Alberto Del Rio tomorrow on Main Event on WWE Network! Also, Chris Jericho's hosts his Highlight Reel with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart!

Chris Jericho beats The Miz with the Walls of Jericho. After the match, Bray Wyatt appears to taunt Jericho, saying that actions speak louder than words. At one point Jericho tells Wyatt to "please just shut the hell up." He tells Wyatt he plans to find him and beat him up. As he walks up the ramp, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper rush in to demolish Jericho.



AJ Lee and Paige beat The Funkadactyls (Cameron and Naomi). After the match, Cameron and Naomi go at it. The Funkadactyls are done!



Paul Heyman and Cesaro are in the ring. Cesaro proceeds to interrupt Paul Heyman and tell him "You can't even speak to them in English. They're French-Canadian, but they don't even speak French. They speak...Quebecois." Cesaro then makes fun of the crowd in French, saying the French can't stand them and neither can the rest of Canada.

Kofi Kingston beats Cesaro. Cesaro attacks Kofi after the match, but Big E makes the save.



John Cena meets Seth Rollins in the locker room, who taunts him and toys with the idea of cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase on a downed Cena. Cena tells him he's full of crap. He admits Seth Rollins is good, but tells him the only guarantee he has tonight is that he's in a difficult match with him.

Roman Reigns takes on Rusev this Friday night on SmackDown!

Bo Dallas beats El Torito. After the match, Bo Dallas runs El Torito down during his victory lap.



In the middle of John Cena vs. Seth Rollins, Kane shows up. He proves to be a distraction, as Randy Orton attacks Cena from behind and Kane joins in. Roman Reigns shows up. Kane goes after Reigns only to eat a Superman Punch, and Orton eats one too. Seth Rollins attacks Reigns and Cena with the Money In The Bank briefcase, then tries to cash it in only to be attacked by Dean Ambrose, who eventually chases Rollins back to the back. Orton goes after a downed Cena, but Cena puts Orton in the Attitude Adjustment. Kane gets in and tries to choke slam Cena only to be Speared by Roman Reigns. The show ends with Cena and Reigns staring each other down, raising each other's arms in victory.
