The July 6, 2015 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw emanates live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago and features the returns of both Brock Lesnar and Kevin Owens.
The show begins with Lesnar and Paul Heyman, who says in about 10 different ways that his client is going to eviscerate Seth Rollins. He talks about The Undertaker's streak, suplexing John Cena, and beating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 31. Lesnar didn't respect any of these men, but he didn't disrespect them either. But Rollins broke the 11th commandment of disrespecting Lesnar. The title match may take place in two weeks at Battleground, but the beatings begin tonight in Suplex City. Rollins is here tonight, so Lesnar isn't going anywhere.
We then learn from the announce team that Kane is still in Hawaii and J&J Security were on a road trip in their new car.
Miz, who is on commentary throughout the match calling for moves and hyping up the crowd, causes a disqualification between Big Show and Ryback. Eventually the two big men trap Miz between them. Ryback drops him with Shell Shock and Show chokeslams him. Ryback then drops Show with the Meathook Clothesline.
We see J&J Security outside Wrigley Field insulting the historic building.
Brie Bella defeats Paige thanks to some distractions from Nikki Bella and Alicia Fox. Alicia attacks Paige after the bel and Nikki plants her with the Rack Attack.
Sheamus defeats Roman Reigns by count out when a fake Bray Wyatt attacks. Reigns rips the wig off the impostor, only for the real Wyatt to show up and do his "Anyone But You" routine long enough to distract Roman. After the match, Randy Orton comes back, attacks Sheamus, and RKOs him.
Backstage, Triple H is talking on the phone when Rollins and J&J Security come in. J&J leave and Rollins asks for advice about how to handle Lesnar. Triple H tells him to leave Battleground as champion. But tonight, he should let Lesnar stew in his juices. Triple H advises him to call out Lesnar and show him he is not afraid of the Beast.
Rusev and Summer Rae are in the ring and e says he won't apologize for wasting a year with Lana. She and Dolph Ziggler come out, and The Show Off reminds him that Lana gave him every opportunity he had. Lana and Ziggler makre out, and then she and Summer start to fight. Rusev attacks Ziggler with his crutch and then superkicks him with his walking boot. He reveals that his foot is healed and forces his crutch into Ziggler's throat as he continues the beatdown.
Bo Dallas comes out and says we saw a bad thing happen to Ziggler. Bad things happen to bad people, and good things happen to good people. All you have to do is Bo-Lieve! Dean Ambrose promptly defeats him in their match with Dirty Deeds.
King Barrett defeats R-Truth with the Bullhammer.
Rollins comes out with J&J Security, and all three men are holding axe handles. The champion boasts that he will beat Lesnar at Battleground. He calls out Lesnar to prove that he is truly the Beast. An angry Lesnar comes out and stalks toward the ring. He backs off as Rollins and J&J wield their weapons in the ring. Brock then motions to Heyman, who comes from off camera with a crate. He opens it to reveal two fire extinguishers and two axes. He grabs the axes and goes to work on the Cadillac. He rips a hole in the side, smashes the windows and flings the door almost into the crowd. After he is through, J&J attack. He practically breaks Jamie Noble's arm on the hood of the car and then suplexes Joey Mercury onto the windshield. He charges the ring at Rollins, who swings his weapon defiantly and then bolts once Lesnar hits the ring. The Beast gives chase, but Rollins escapes through the crowd.
The New Day (w/Xavier Woods) defeat The Lucha Dragons with a team finisher.
John Cena comes out for his United States Championship Open Challenge. He cuts a promo for a bit until Kevin Owens comes out and says this is the worst part of Raw every week. He says he needs the title and he's taking it from Cena in two weeks. Cesaro comes out and interrupts them and says Owens should stop complaining. He adds he would have been champion last week if not for Owens. He threatens Owens and tells him to leave the ring so he gets another shot against Cena now, and Owens departs.
The lengthy match is another barnburner just like last week, and Cena eventually wins with an Attitude Adjustment off the second rope. Owens attacks Cena almost immediately after the bell, but Cena is able to drop him with an AA. He celebrates with the U.S. title belt as the show goes off the air.
