In case you missed it, here are the results of this week's Monday Night Raw.

The show begins with a ten bell salute to the late "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, along with a video tribute.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins starts the show and says the only person that can stop him is himself. He says sympathy has been plaguing him lately, particularly with regard to John Cena. He says breaking the United States Champion's nose was disgusting because he felt the bone crack against his knee. At first, he didn't feel bad, but now he does after seeing Cena's face. He says he felt so bad that he wanted the match stopped last week and the U.S. title awarded to him. This is why he lost, and he won't make that mistake again.

He proposes they put both titles on the line at SummerSlam. But tonight, he has other matters on his mind. This is where he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and it's also where the first U.S. Championship Open Challenge took place. So he wants to have an open challenge for the richest prize in the game tonight!

After a commercial break, Jojo asks Rollins if he is for real, and the champ says he is, but he has two conditions. The challenge must be less than 6 feet tall and less than 200 pounds. Los Matadores' music hits for a second, and it seems like El Torito is going to fight Rollins in a joke match. But Neville comes out to his own music instead, and he fits the bill!

Neville nearly wins the title cleanly on two occasions. First he catches Rollins in a jackknife pin that was about as close to a three count as you can get without the referee's hand slapping the mat a third time. Then, he connects with the Red Arrow, but Rollins gets his foot on the ropes. He goes for a second Red Arrow, but Rollins dodges and plants him with a Pedigree for the win.

The Ascension and The New Day defeat The Lucha Dragons and Los Matadores when Xavier Woods helps distract Kalisto, who eats Kofi Kingston's Trouble in Paradise. The Prime Time Players were once again on commentary.

Becky Lynch and Charlotte defeat The Bella Twins when Becky suplexes Brie Bella out of the ring and Charlotte locks in the Figure Eight on Nikki Bella. We also learn that the team of Paige, Becky, and Charlotte is called "The Submission Sorority."

After the match, Jojo interviews Team BAD. Sasha Banks laughs at the other women in the division and says it's time to make a statement. Naomi challenges Paige to a one-on-one match later tonight.

The Miz is in the ring for Miz TV, the second-most must-see WWE talk show. Miz honors Piper and says he will be missed He is also dressed like Piper. Then he gets down to business and tells Ryback to surrender the Intercontinental Championship.

He introduces his first guest, Kevin Owens, who says he is a big Miz fan and even owns all of his movies on Blu-ray. Miz asks why Owens has an issue with Cesaro, and KO says he is jealous. He starts to go into more detail when the Swiss Superman comes out. Cesaro says he just came out to hear what Owens has to say. Owens says Cesaro is jealous not only because he has beaten John Cena, but because Owens is just plain better. Cesaro responds that Owens disrespects himself, his opponent, the fans, and the rest of the roster every time he competes.

They go back and forth until Owens shoves Miz into Cesaro. He tries for a Pop-Up Powerbomb, but Cesaro counters and goes for a Giant Swing before Owens escapes.

Rusev defeats Mark Henry with a superkick and then superkicks him out of the ring after the bell.

Bray Wyatt cuts a promo on Roman Reigns, and Luke Harper joins in to set his sights on Dean Ambrose. Sheamus then wanders into Bray's dark room and says he has a Brogue Kick with Randy Orton's name on it. Wyatt says the enemy of his enemy is his friend, so Sheamus is his friend for the night.

King Barrett cuts a promo on Zack Ryder before their match and asks where his Internet crown is. Ryder misses with the Rough Ryder and eats a Bullhammer for the pin.

Paul Heyman enters the ring and says Undertaker picked a fight with Brock Lesnar and is angry because he has never beaten The Beast Incarnate in his career. He even calls Taker the WWE's bitch. Heyman says Taker can't handle the fact that he can't beat Lesnar.

The Beast then comes out and throws the steel steps into the ring because...well, he's Brock Lesnar. He doesn't need a reason. Lesnar stands on those steps as Heyman reminds us of their clash at WrestleMania 30. He says Taker asked for a rematch and Vince McMahon said no. But Taker forced WWE's hand at Battleground to get that fight, and now he will get his last rites at SummerSlam at the hands of Brock Lesnar.

Paige defeats Naomi with the Scorpion Crosslock aka the PTO.

Stardust cuts a promo on Neville, and we learn that Arrow star Stephen Amell will be on Raw next week!

Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Randy Orton, all in Hot Rod T-shirts, cut promos on their opponents, and Ambrose uses Piper's famous line about kicking ass and chewing bubblegum. They head to the ring for their match.

Reigns, Ambrose, and Orton defeat Wyatt, Harper, and Sheamus when the six-man tag team match breaks down into chaos. Orton RKOs Bray and Reigns spears Sheamus for the pin.
