WWE presents the 2015 edition of SummerSlam from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and the four-hour extravaganza features a main event grudge match between The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. But there were nine matches before that, so let's get to the results.
Host Jon Stewart comes out and hypes up the show that is about begin. He says he wants to interview Brock Lesnar because he is upset that The Beast broke The Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania 30. But he's not crazy enough to do it alone, so he brought a friend: Mick Foley! The Hardcore Legend comes out and says he misheard Stewart on the phone. He thought he wanted to interview The Rock. A couple of jokes and cheap pops later, and the two men leave the ring and throw to the show intro.
Randy Orton vs. Sheamus opens the show, and Mr. Money in the Bank gets the win after two consecutive Brogue Kicks.
The New Day (Kofi Kingstn and Big E w/Xavier Woods) defeat The Prime Time Players, The Lucha Dragons, and Los Matadores (w/El Torito) to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions. This was a fun match that of course broke down into total chaos. Titus O'Neil had come in and literally thrown around everyone. He hits a Tower of Doom in the corner and then hits Clash of the Titus on one of Los Matadores. Kofi Kingston then rushes the ring and kicks Titus. Big E rolls Titus out of the ring and Kofi covers the Matdor for the pin. The New Day celebrates as only it can.
Jon Stewart and Neville are backstage talking with Stephen Amell and Neville when the lights go down and The Undertaker walks through the frame. Smoke follows him, and the lights come back on. Stewart, freaked out, asks Amell to sign his son's T-shirt.
Dolph Ziggler and Rusev fight to a double count out after Lana and Summer Rae start to brawl on the outside. This allows Ziggler to superkick Rusev into the announce table, but he can't make it back into the ring before the 10 count. After the bell, the two men continue to fight in the ring. Lana and Summer Rae both pile on and the two men separate the women.
Stephen Amell and Neville defeat Stardust and Cosmic King Barrett when Neville lands a Red Arrow on Barrett. Amell worked a significant portion of this match and did quite well, and he capped it off by diving off the top rope to the outside on Stardust and Barrett.
Ryback retains the Intercontinental Championship against The Miz and Big Show when Show nails Miz with a KO Punch. He tries the same on The Big Guy, but the champ dodges, sends Show over the ropes, and pins Miz for the win.
Jon Stewart stands outside Brock Lesnar's locker room and knocks, but Paul Heyman comes out. After some quick pleasantries, Stewart asks him about Lesnar's ending the Streak. Heyman responds with the Battle Hymn of the Republic and makes a crack that WWE couldn't get David Letterman to host tonight.
Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose defeat Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper in a fun, violent tag team match that ends when Wyatt eats Dirty Deeds and a spear.
Seth Rollins defeats John Cena to become the first WWE World Heavyweight Champion and WWE United States Champion when Jon Stewart interferes and hits Cena in the stomach with a chair. Rollins Pedigrees Cena onto said chair for the pinfall. Cena had the match one after a second Attitude Adjustment, but he inadvertently bumped the referee, who missed Stewart's interference.
Team PCB defeats Team Bella and Team BAD when Becky Lynch pins Brie Bella. Brie had previously taken out Tamina Snuka with a Bella Buster to eliminate Team BAD.
Kevin Owens defeats Cesaro with a Pop-Up Powerbomb in the match you would expect these two ring masters to produce.
Undertaker defeats Brock Lesnar in one of the more confusing finishes you'll see for quite some time. Taker had taken three F5s, which felled him at Mania, but he kicks out this time. He locks in the Hell's Gate on Lesnar, but the Beast counters and gets the Deadman in the Kimura Lock. Taker pins Lesnar's shoulders to the mat, but Lesnar kicks out at one. Despite this, the timekeeper rings the bell. An angry Charles Robinson asks the timekeeper what he's doing.
Paul Heyman jumps on the apron and starts screaming that Undertaker tapped out, and a later replay would prove this true, but Robinson missed it because he was on the other side checking Lesnar's shoulders. In the confusion, Taker low blows Lesnar and locks in the Hell's Gate once again. A defiant Lesnar gives Taker the middle finger, then passes out to give Taker the win.
The Phenom leaves, and an irate Heyman rings the bell loudly multiple times. He gets on the mic and screams "No" several times and proclaims Lesnar as the true winner by tap out submission.
