Raw Deal - Raw recap for August 10, 2015

Seth Rollins shows up to welcome us all to "Monday Night Rollins" to start the show. He makes fun of John Cena, then makes a reference to the "Straight Outta" meme that has hit the Internet recently by saying that Cena is "straight outta action." He says that if Cena wants to forfeit the WWE United States Championship to him, he can, so he can hold the United States and World Heavyweight titles at the same time. He also makes fun of John Cena's appearance on Tough Enough tomorrow night, saying Cena isn't tough enough to take him on. He then finds out from ring crew that John Cena is here tonight...via satellite. Cena's face, complete with broken nose, shows up on the TitanTron. However, it's all a trick, as Seth Rollins' mouth is on top of Cena's and it is Rollins' voice that makes fun of Cena and makes him look like a weakling. As Rollins talks to "Cena," Cesaro shows up and interrupts Rollins and challenges him to a match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. As Rollins asks Cesaro what he's done to deserve a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, Kevin Owens shows up and says Cesaro has done nothing, makes fun of the "Cesaro Section" signs, and says that he himself has beaten John Cena while Rollins has tapped out to him. Shortly afterwards, Randy Orton shows up and says he's deserving of a World Heavyweight title shot as well. Rollins tells all three of them they're getting nothing, says they're all deaf and dumb, and tells them to get out of his ring.

He then introduces tonight's guest: Daniel Bryan. After some clowning around, Miz wants to talk about how he made Daniel Bryan, but D-Bry tells him not to take credit for making him, as he did all this himself. Miz also talks about D-Bry being on the shelf, and D-Bry mentions his recently released autobiography and his role on Tough Enough. Miz then asks D-Bry if Big Show should retire. Big Show shows up and says tells the WWE Universe that if they want him retired, they'd better find somebody who will retire him. All of a sudden, Ryback's music hits...and Ryback has officially returned. Ryback and Big Show stare down, and Daniel Bryan tosses Miz in-between them. All three men go at it, but Ryback easily puts Show and Miz away. Ryback then fells Miz once and for all with a Meat Hook.

Saturday Night's Main Event - Main Event recap for August 8, 2015

All results courtesy of dailywrestlingnews.com.

Big Show shows up to start the show. Show says he had two goals when he started wrestling: to be the best giant this business ever saw, and to make all the money he could. He fins it funny that he has made certain choices to provide for himself and his family, but the WWE Universe calls him a sell-out when they would have easily done the same thing if they were in his shoes and Show wants to know why. Show then goes on to say that he is the greatest giant ever seen, that he's won more championships than Andre the Giant, and has held nearly every title in the WWE. He then says everyone in the locker room - and the crowd - is beneath him and wish they could be someone like him. Show then focuses on Ryback and his "feed me more" message. Ryback is still Intercontinental champ, but is at home with a serious injury. We then see the photo of Ryback’s knee. All Show has gotten out of this is that Ryback is weak and wants everyone to be amazed at his staph infection, and that he will overcome it with the help of the WWE Universe and seize the day. Show calls Ryback's belief that any obstacle can be overcome is garbage, and that Ryback's fifteen minutes of fame are up, as he will still have to deal with Big Show, to whom he will lose the Intercontinental Championship to. Show then says that he has learned in his 20+ years in the business that everyone's dreams are worth destroying. Jack Swagger shows up and tells Show to shut the hell up. Show mocks Swagger, telling him he is not the Jack who is going to cut down the beanstalk and kill the giant. He tells Swagger to go to the back, but Swagger says that Show is scared, and that he picked the wrong city to be scared in. He wants everyone to stand up. He can either leave, or go to the ring and fight.

Big Show beats Jack Swagger.

The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) are in the ring. Viktor says "lucha" might mean fight in Spanish, but tonight it means dead meat. Tonight, they will crush their dreams of ever being the Tag Team Champions. Konnor says that after they are done slaying the Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto), The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) are next. Viktor says you are looking at the next WWE Tag Team Champions.
