Gettin' RAW - Monday Night RAW recap for August 24, 2015

Triple H comgratualtes him for the win over John Cena last night at SummerSlam. He says Rollins is no longer the future - he's the man.

Rollins says this is the greatest accomplishment of his career. He thanks Triple H from the bottom of his heart.

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman are pissed as they march to the ring. Heyman says he's the pissed off advocate for The Beast of Barclays.  Heyman says Taker being immortal is a fairy tale and he got tapped out by Lesnar last night. Heyman says this was Taker admitting Lesnar is a better man, a better wrestler and a better fighter. Heyman compares Taker to a kid getting his ass kicked in the schoolyard. Lesnar smirks. Heyman says Lesnar does not blame the referee because he didn't see the tap. He also doesn't blame the timekeeper. We see Berkley Ottman, son of Fred Ottman, sitting in the timekeeper area. Fans boo him and Heyman says only in Brooklyn do people boo compassion. Heyman brings up how Taker collapsed on the stage before making it backstage and says it's all over the internet. Heyman says he has enough material to last all three hours of RAW and fans cheer. Heyman goes on about the match and says Lesnar wants one more match with The Undertaker. However, he doesn't want it at WrestleMania or Royal Rumble, he wants to do it Brooklyn style.  Bo Dallas comes out to the ring..
Bo tells "Mr. Brock" he has good news and bad news. The bad news is Lesnar passed out last night at SummerSlam. But the good news is that he eventually woke up and probably had a sweet dream, a good dream like he actually beat The Undertaker.  Lesnar runs over him to a big pop. Lesnar starts hitting several German suplexes, manhandling Bo. Fans chant for one more and Lesnar hits #4. Lesnar leaves the ring as his music hits. Heyman taunts him on the stage and Lesnar turns around. Lesnar goes back to the ring and Bo is still laying face down, knocked out. Lesnar hits another German suplex but fans want one more.

Miz names what he has done and says he surpassed Flair's legacy. Miz tries to encourage competition between Team PCB but they're not having it. They're open to any challenge but they're a unit. Team Bella (Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Alicia Fox) interrupts, and Nikki says as long as she's champion, Team Bella will be the dominant team. Nikki says nobody has to prove anything to anyone and wins or losses don't matter. She talks about becoming the longest reigning Divas Champion in just 22 days.

Stewart says to him, "the champ is Flair!" Ric Flair struts out to the ring to a huge pop. He appreciates what Stewart did, but he was rooting for Cena last night. Fans boo Flair.

Cena yells that this is not a comedy show.

As for the question of Neville guesting on Arrow, never say never. Stephen Amell says he's nervous, saying "this isn't a house show on the east coast of Canada." 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.

WWE Monday Night RAW Results for July 16th, 2013-The Return of "Mr. Money Nights"

We kick off with a welcome segment from RAW General Manage, Brad Maddox. He sets up an rematch between World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio vs Dolph Ziggler. John Cena interrupts Maddox, goes on about how he's new as the GM and whatnot. Then, Maddox gave Cena the chance to choose his opponent for Summerslam. Cena's interrupted by Randy Orton, RAW's MITB Contract holder. He states that John Cena won't be the WWE Champion by Summerslam. He said that he won't cash in on the same night, but warns Cena to watch his back. Then Fandango comes out and says that he would be WWE Champion IF John Cena were to choose him. Randy didn't take too kindly being interrupted, so he and Fandango got into it and Brad Maddox set up a match between those two on the spot!

Randy Orton def Fandango
I have to say, Fandango was really impressive in this one. But in the end, Randy Orton defeated Fandango with his patented "RKO" maneuver for the win.

Dolph Ziggler calls it quits with A.J. Lee after what conspired on Sunday!

WHC Alberto Del Rio def Dolph Ziggler

Brad Maddox sets up a match between RVD and Y2J!

Once again, A.J. Lee proves to be the wild card of the match, ringing the bell when the referee obviously didn't make a call for it. Del Rio takes full advantage of it, pinning Ziggler for the win.

After the match, A.J. Lee completely snaps at Dolph Ziggler,  slapping him until Big E. Langston comes and finishes it off for him, hitting his Jumping Cutter move. Folks, this is officially the end of Team Zigglee.

Mark Henry comes out to state that John Cena should choose him for Summerslam, despite the fact that he lost the night before. Then, the Hounds of Justice known as The Shield come out and attack Henry and perform their trademark triple powerbomb on him.

The Wyatt Family once again make their prescene felt when they attacked R-Truth. R-Truth is not the truth that they seek. Who's next to follow the buzzards?

The Usos def The Real Americans

Who was the team to face the new team of the Real Americans? The Primetime Players? Tons of Funk? The Usos? The winners are.... THE USOS!

The Usos defeated the newly made team in a relatively short match.

Christian def Damien Sandow

Christian defeats Damien Sandow after he countered his "Elbow of Distain". Cody Rhodes then comes out  to get revenge on Sandow double-crossing him on Sunday.

Naomi def Brie Bella

Naomi defeats Brie Bella via Diving Crossbody.

Paul Heyman finally comes clean about why he did what  he did to Punk at Money In The Bank. He says that the reason that he double-crossed him is because Punk thought that he was better than him and how that he, rather than Punk, was the Best in the World. Then, he talks about his kids and how they ask him about Punk not obeying everything he says. His claim is that Punk can't beat Brock Lesnar. He then gets down on his knees and says "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME!" and "The Beast" unleashes pain on Punk after Heyman blindsides him.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon appear backstage concerned about John Cena being able to choose his own opponent for Summerslam, mostly because of the reaction that Mr. McMahon would show. Either way, he's impressed so far.

RVD def Chris Jericho

RVD defeats Jericho in one of the most ultra-competitive matches in RAW history. RVD continues his momentum, defeating Jericho via his 5 Star Frogsplash, despite some of the stitches coming out of his head.

Cena's Choice....

I completely marked out for this segement. Why? Because FINALLY Daniel Bryan gets his shot at the WWe Championship at Summerslam. If there's anyone on the roster that's over with the fans, it's him. You could tell that the fans wanted him to be in the match, because there were "YES!" chants spreading across the arena.
