Wednesday Night iMPACT! - Impact Wrestling recap for July 29, 2015

He says there is nobody better than him in the business right now, and he's not happy with Bully Ray because he's not in contendership for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Bully Ray shows up, and says he can't give him a shot to either the World or tag titles because he's lost to Kurt Angle and The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) respectively. He also tells Aries that he runs his mouth a little too fast, and it just might get him into trouble. Bully says he can give him an X Division title shot, but Aries says the title is for those who will never make it to the main event...like Rockstar Spud. Spud, having heard this, shows up and he's not very happy to have heard this from Aries' mouth. He has respect for him, but Aries decides to be a realist about it...to the point that he's a jerk. He decides to give Spud a match against him to see if he can hang with him and if his hard work can pay off. Spud says he's been proving he can hang his entire life. He says he'll prove he can not only hang with him, he'll beat him. Aries proceeds to mock Spud even further, mocking the "Rockstar" in his name and saying that if he can't beat someone like Spud, he shouldn't be in a TNA ring. Bully Ray decides to put that statement to the test, and makes that a stipulation in a match between Aries and Spud.

He tells Colby he looked at him like a little brother when he brought him in, but now looks at him like a son, much to the displeasure of Steve Corino, and wants Colby to view him like the father he never had. Whitmer tells Colby he got him a gift tonight: a Gauntlet match against four recent Ring of Honor tryouts as part of the "Decade Invitational Gauntlet Match." All of them weigh a combined total of 1,800 lbs. Steve Corino steps in before the match can begin, and when BJ Whitmer involves his family, Corino nearly attacks Whitmer only to be stopped by officials, not least of which is Nigel McGuinness.

Underground Sound - Lucha Underground recap for July 22, 2015
Dario Cueto talks with Big Ryck in his office, and tells him he had big plans in the temple until he lost focus. Dario now wants him back in the spotlight, and he wants him to get back in there with one of the Aztec Medallions, which he offers him. Cueto asks him if he wants money or power. Big Ryck tells him "Why choose when I can have both?" Not surprisingly, he gets both.

Dario Cueto tells everyone that the seven Aztec Medallions make up The Gift of the Gods: a championship belt that grants the holder a shot at the Lucha Underground Championship whenever they want, with a catch: you have to give one week's notice in order for the match to be promoted. Once the title is cashed in, the Aztec Medallions are removed and re-distributed, and the fight for power begins again. Cueto sets up a seven-way match between all those who have earned Aztec Medallions, whom he calls to the ring. Jack Evans, Aerostar, King Cuerno, Sexy Star, Bengala and Big Ryck (who was given an Aztec Medallion by Cueto) show up. They place their medallions into the belt to secure their spot in the match for the title, but there is one problem: Mil Muertes destroyed Fenix. Cueto puts Fenix's medallion back up for grabs, when Fenix suddenly shows up. He puts Fenix in a battle royal for the Aztec Medallion he earned...and that battle royal is next
Fenix wins a battle royal to regain the Aztec Medallion he initially earned before being taken down by Mil Muertes.
Prince Puma, now in a black mask, shows up to speak, but before he can do that, Mil Muertes and Catrina appear.

Undertaker appears to start tonight's show. He pulls out a microphone and says that he is ready for battle. Streaks are made to be broken, but 'Taker is tired of Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar taking the fact that they broke The Streak and shoved it down everyone's throats.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon talk in the back. Triple H says that Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar is in the bag for SummerSlam.
Team BAD (Sasha Banks, Naomi, Tamina) guest on commentary for the next match.
Charlotte beats Brie Bella with the Figure Eight.
Triple H tells Paul Heyman over the phone that Brock Lesnar/Undertaker is the main event for SummerSlam, and that Lesnar should not show up tonight.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon tell the WWE roster to stand between Brock Lesnar and Undertaker, and keep them from destroying one another before SummerSlam.
Paul Heyman is in the ring. He says Brock Lesnar should be WWE World Heavyweight Champion right now, but Undertaker put a stop to all that last night at Battleground. As for continuously bragging about Brock Lesnar breaking The Streak, he mentions all of the big names that tried and failed where Lesnar did not. He then says that Brock Lesnar broke Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30, and while he sold his soul to the devil, his ass belongs to Brock Lesnar. Undertaker pops up after the lights go dark and then turn back on. He is about to go after Paul Heyman when Lesnar rushes in. This starts a brawl of epic proportions that takes security, WWE Superstars and even Triple H himself to break up.
After the break, the brawl between Brock Lesnar and Undertaker continues backstage. Policemen eventually cuff and escort Lesnar out of the arena, with Lesnar kindly asking not to be touched.
As Triple H tells Stephanie McMahon that he will not press charges against Brock Lesnar and will just give him time to cool off, Seth Rollins - amazed at what just happened between Lesnar and Undertaker - shows up and says he has a lot to get off his chest.

Seth Rollins shows up. He asks the WWE Universe members in the Kansas City crowd what it's like to be wrong about him again, and tells them they are indeed wrong again. He says Brock Lesnar is the most vicious Superstar out there, but he's still standing, yet the WWE Universe still disrespects him like they always have. He says he has faced every challenge in front of him and walked away with the title each and every time, and that he is the "be all, end all" of champions in this industry. He still feels he was robbed by Undertaker and Lesnar, however, and tells Lillian Garcia to come into the ring and announce that he is still the World Heavyweight Champion. She does...then John Cena shows up. He tells the WWE Universe they no longer have to deal with Rollins' crap. Rollins congratulates Cena on last night's win, and gives him a hard time for the open challenges. Cena congratulates Rollins for forcing him into the road to being the United States champ, congratulates him on being a slimy excuse of a champion, and tells him that his actions make people lose faith in the World Heavyweight title and gain faith in the United States title. Rollins tells Cena he can keep having his open challenges while he keeps being the World champion. Cena tells Rollins to keep running from every challenge like he always has, and that the man makes the title, not the other way around. When Cena asks Rollins if he's ready to man up yet, this teases a brawl between Cena and Rollins, but Rollins walks away with a smirk on his face.

Paul Heyman is in the ring. He says Brock Lesnar should be WWE World Heavyweight Champion right now, but Undertaker put a stop to all that last night at Battleground. As for continuously bragging about Brock Lesnar breaking The Streak, he mentions all of the big names that tried and failed where Lesnar did not. He then says that Brock Lesnar broke Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 30, and while he sold his soul to the devil, his ass belongs to Brock Lesnar. Undertaker pops up after the lights go dark and then turn back on. He is about to go after Paul Heyman when Lesnar rushes in. This starts a brawl of epic proportions that takes security, WWE Superstars and even Triple H himself to break up.
After the break, the brawl between Brock Lesnar and Undertaker continues backstage. Policemen eventually cuff and escort Lesnar out of the arena, with Lesnar kindly asking not to be touched.
As Triple H tells Stephanie McMahon that he will not press charges against Brock Lesnar and will just give him time to cool off, Seth Rollins - amazed at what just happened between Lesnar and Undertaker - shows up and says he has a lot to get off his chest.

Seth Rollins shows up. He asks the WWE Universe members in the Kansas City crowd what it's like to be wrong about him again, and tells them they are indeed wrong again. He says Brock Lesnar is the most vicious Superstar out there, but he's still standing, yet the WWE Universe still disrespects him like they always have. He says he has faced every challenge in front of him and walked away with the title each and every time, and that he is the "be all, end all" of champions in this industry. He still feels he was robbed by Undertaker and Lesnar, however, and tells Lillian Garcia to come into the ring and announce that he is still the World Heavyweight Champion. She does...then John Cena shows up. He tells the WWE Universe they no longer have to deal with Rollins' crap. Rollins congratulates Cena on last night's win, and gives him a hard time for the open challenges. Cena congratulates Rollins for forcing him into the road to being the United States champ, congratulates him on being a slimy excuse of a champion, and tells him that his actions make people lose faith in the World Heavyweight title and gain faith in the United States title. Rollins tells Cena he can keep having his open challenges while he keeps being the World champion. Cena tells Rollins to keep running from every challenge like he always has, and that the man makes the title, not the other way around. When Cena asks Rollins if he's ready to man up yet, this teases a brawl between Cena and Rollins, but Rollins walks away with a smirk on his face. Cena tells the WWE Universe that the real champion is in the ring, as Cena and Rollins hoist their championships into the air.

Gettin’ RAW – Monday Night RAW recap for July 6, 2015
Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar start the show. Heyman tells Seth Rollins that he will be destroyed at Battleground as Lesnar is the god of violent retribution and the sword that will pierce Rollins’ shield. Heyman then runs down Lesnar’s recent accomplishments from the last year-and-a-half, then says the suplexes and beatings will begin tonight as he deems the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois “the cathedral of Suplex City.” Rollins will also be in the buidling, and Heyman says Lesnar won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
Kane is currently in Hawaii, and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) are taking a road trip across the East Coast in their new car.
Big Show vs. Ryback ends with The Miz attacking both men after running his mouth on the microphone during the match. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Show and Ryback surround Miz and beat him up with a Shell Shocked and a choke slam before Ryback hits the Meat Hook on Show.
J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) were out and about in Chicago earlier today. Their first stop is Wrigley Field…and they’re not impressed.

Sheamus beats Roman Reigns by count-out after Bray Wyatt shows up and Roman Reigns hits the Superman Punch on him only to find out it’s a double wearing a wig. The real Bray Wyatt appears on the TitanTron saying “Anyone but you.” Before Sheamus can leave, Randy Orton shows up for the first time in weeks and gives Sheamus a beatdown.
Seth Rollins talks to Triple H backstage. HHH initially tells Rollins to stay away from Lesnar tonight, and then tells him to use Paul Heyman’s advice to never intentionally provoke Brock Lesnar in his favor.
Rusev and Summer Rae are in the ring. He says that he wasted a year of his life with Lana, and calls the WWE Universe for carrying her under their wing and still sticking with her. He also says Dolph Ziggler is not on his integrity or strength level, and that he’s better looking and more passionate than him. Dolph Ziggler and Lana show up, and tells Rusev that all of his success in WWE has been due to Lana. Summer Rae and Lana take their heels off and are about to go at it when Rusev hits Ziggler with one of his crutches and immediately destroys him, revealing that he is no longer hurt. Summer Rae easily gets rid of Lana and Rusev continues to stomp a mudhole in Ziggler. Ziggler tries to battle back, but to no avail. Rusev then attacks Ziggler with the other crutch as medical staff try to put Ziggler on a stretcher.
Bo Dallas makes light of what happened to Dolph Ziggler before the next match.
Dean Ambrose beats Bo Dallas.
King Barrett beats R-Truth.
Seth Rollins shows up along with J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) in the Cadillac. All three of them have axe handles (minus the blades) with them. Rollins brags about the beating Brock Lesnar was given last week, and says that he will burn Suplex City to the ground at Battleground as he calls Brock Lesnar “yesterday’s news.” He then asks Lesnar if he’s the monster he’s said to be or if he’s just “Paul Heyman’s bitch.” Brock Lesnar shows up along with Paul Heyman. Lesnar slowly approaches the ringalone, then slowly back away. Heyman brings out a box, and inside is two axes – with the blades – which he uses to destroy the Cadillac. At one point, Lesnar rips out one of the back doors with his bare hands, smashes it on the floor and tosses it several yards. J&J Security rush him only for Noble to get his arm broken with a Kimura Lock and Mercury to be sent straight into the front windshield with a belly-to-back suplex. Lesnar then takes his shirt off and rushes the ring, jumping over the ropes in record time and chasing after Rollins only for Rollins to escape. Lesnar then takes the WWE World Heavyweight Championship – which Rollins has left behind – and lifts it up.
The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O’Neil) guest on commentary for the next match.
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) beat The Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto).

John Cena shows up…and so does Kevin Owens when Cena issues the open challenge for the United States title. He tells Cena that’s he sick and tired of the same old spiel from him, week in and week out. Since he’s no longer NXT Champion, he needs the United States title and decides to fight him right now. Suddenly, Cesaro shows up and confronts Kevin Owens for costing him the United States title last week, and tells him to get out of the ring or deal with him and Cena. Owens leaves.
John Cena retains the WWE United States Championship against Cesaro. After the match, Kevin Owens rushes back in to attack Cena but is forced to retreat after eating an Attitude Adjustment.
