WWE Monday Night Raw results
July 13, 2015
Atlanta, GA
Opening segment
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman come out to the ring. The destroyed Cadillac is shown next to the stage area. Heyman talked about Lesnar walking into UFC and defeating Randy Couture to become UFC Champion. Then he talked about what Brock did to John Cena last year at SummerSlam. He said Brock would still be champion if it wasn’t for the slimy, revolting, disgusting, thief in the night Seth Rollins. Heyman begs everyone to circle the date because Brock will enter the ring as the challenger and he will not leave the ring the same way. He says that Rollins will get beat up and get his ass kicked by Brock Lesnar. He says Brock will suplex, F5, and be pinned by Lesnar. Rollins’ music interrupted Heyman and Rollins and Kane came out on the stage area. Rollins and Kane looked down on the destroyed car. Rollins says that Lesnar must be real proud of himself. He says he’ll wipe Brock’s stupid smile off his face and last week he gave Brock the opportunity to be a man but he chose to be a coward and that aggression he chose to take it out on an inanimate object. Seth stumbled over his words for a second. He says Brock is parading the car like some sort of trophy or a symbol. Seth says “this is my symbol.” He’s referencing the WWE title. He says “I am everything that’s right about WWE. I am a real champion. You are a thug, a criminal, a vandal.” Seth says that he’ll bring the matches and gasoline and he will burn suplex city to the ground. Brock grabs the mic and says “I can take you to suplex city tonight bitch.” Kane speaks. Kane says that there will be a contract signing later tonight and if Brock does anything to spoil the match… Heyman cuts him off and asks Kane if he’s about to threaten Brock Lesnar. Heyman says “I think we’re about to be threatened by The Undertaker’s baby brother!” Heyman jokes that Brock Lesnar conquered the streak of Kane’s brother. He says that he knows that he is not supposed to talk about Kane’s family. Heyman says that his client will come to the contract signing with peace, love, and understanding in his heart unless Rollins wants to intentionally provoke Brock Lesnar. If Rollins does then suplex city comes tonight to Atlanta, GA.
Commercial break.
Randy Orton & Ryback vs. Big Show & Sheamus
This is a typical Raw match. It’s about what you’d expect from these four. Miz was on commentary but he got up and tried to distract Ryback by yelling things into the mic.

Kevin Owens vs. Rusev vs. Cesaro
The winner of this match faces Cena tonight. Cena is on commentary for this match. Good match as you would expect from these three men.

It’s Rusev and Cesaro left in the match. Cesaro hit a nice springboard uppercut off the ropes. Cesaro tried to do the suplex spot from the ring apron into the ring but Rusev reversed it and Cesaro got suplexed onto the ring apron. It looked like an awkward landing for Cesaro as he sort of got caught in the ropes before landing on the apron. Rusev pushed Cesaro back in the ring. Rusev went up to the top rope but Cesaro got up and hit Rusev with uppercuts and then hit a standing dropkick to Rusev.

Rusev then tried to lock in the accolade but Cesaro fought it and turned it into the giant swing spot. Cesaro locked in the sharpshooter but Rusev made it to the bottom rope. Rusev dove through the ropes onto Rusev at ringside. I think they’ve been wrestling close to 30 minutes already and it’s a great match. They’re back in the ring now. Rusev nails Cesaro with a kick to the face and gets the pin. Cena vs. Rusev is next.
Commercial break.
Rusev vs. John Cena (U.S. Championship)
The announcers noted that Cena was going “light” on Rusev in this match since Rusev is exhausted from his previous match. Cena was on offense for most of the match. Cena finally decided to go for the AA but Rusev reversed it and locked in the accolade. Kevin Owens came back and kicked Rusev in the head and hit him with the pop up powerbomb.

Brock Lesnar/Seth Rollins contract signing
Rollins comes out with Kane. There’s a table set up with office chairs in the ring. They played video of Rollins and Kane attacking Lesnar 3 weeks ago. This was Rollins’ way of showing what he could do to Lesnar. Rollins says he’s not afraid of Brock Lesnar. He says he will defeat Lesnar and he will demolish suplex city and he will be the fire that burns suplex city to ashes. Lesnar and Heyman come out. It’s Lesnar and Heyman on one side and Rollins and Kane on the other side of the table. Lesnar sits down. Rollins sits down. Heyman tells Rollins to never take his eyes off of Brock Lesnar. Heyman says that ever since Rollins betrayed The Shield, he’s wanted to see someone get their hands on him. He said that ever since Rollins sold his soul, they (the fans) wanted to see someone get their hands on him. Heyman says that ever since Rollins stole the title, Brock Lesnar has wanted to get his hands on Rollins. He says that all of the pressure is on Rollins and this Sunday night every single person watching is paying to see Rollins get his ass kicked. He swears by his god of retribution that every single person will get their money’s worth because Rollins will get his ass kicked. He says Rollins will get beat up, hurt, slapped, punched, suplexes, F5’ed, pinned, and dethroned. He says Rollins will go to suplex city. He says that Rollins will be dragged there by Brock Lesnar. Â Lesnar signs, Rollins signs the contract too. Rollins went to get something from under the table but Heyman yelled at him and told him to put his hands on the table.

Brock goes after Kane but Kane goes for a chokeslam but Brock gets out of it and takes out Kane. Brock sets up Kane’s leg on the steel steps and then takes the other part of the steps and smashes it on Kane’s ankle. Kane is writhing in pain. I guess this means Kane will not be there for Rollins on Sunday. Brock gets back in the ring holds the WWE title up. Brock and Heyman leave the ring. Rollins is back in the ring now and grabs the mic. He says that Lesnar thinks he’s untouchable because he ran through everybody but he didn’t run through Rollins.

He says that he will prove again that Brock is not a machine and he’s not a monster and he is a man with a pulse and he can be beat. He said he will cut Lesnar in half and he will be forever known as the man that slayed the beast. Rollins exits the ring and the camera shows trainers and referees tending to Kane.
