“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
The show kicks off with a recap of what happened with Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella last week. Brie Bella bought a ringside seat to support her sister, Nikki, who was put into a 4-on-1 Handicap match due to Stephanie McMahon wanting to punish her. Stephanie came down and wound up slapping Brie in the face. Later in the night, Miami police arrested Stephanie for battery due to Brie no longer working for the company. Later in the night, Triple H went to introduce Randy Orton as the number one contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, but Roman Reigns interfered and beat Orton up. Paul Heyman then came out with Brock Lesnar, and Triple H booked the match. Heyman guaranteed Lesnar would become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
John Cena addresses his SummerSlam match against Brock Lesnar
John Cena makes his way down to the ring to his usual mixed reaction, though there appears to be a lot more boos than cheers. Cena is not acting as happy-go-lucky as he normally does. Cena gets in the ring. Once the music stops, the boos pick up. Cena says they’re a lively bunch. Normally he would share in the enthusiasm, but last week it was revealed to him and the world what Plan C was. He hoped it wouldn’t happen, but it is Brock Lesnar. He is a marked man by The Authority. They want the WWE World Heavyweight Championship off his neck so badly that they hired a mercenary. His opponent at SummerSlam is THE Brock Lesnar. Last week it was announced, and there were a lot of cheers. Paul Heyman spoke very eloquently to all members of the WWE Universe: those who get tucked in at night and those who don’t. There were cheers because many in the WWE Universe want to see Brock Lesnar beat the hell out of him. The crowd erupts and a “YES!” chant breaks out.
Cena says he is not deaf, and he knows who his opponent is. Brock Lesnar is the most devastating force in the WWE. His destruction is seismic. With the precision of a surgeon, he destroys who he wants when he wants. Forty men have been able to say that they were champion. One Beast has defeated The Streak. Heyman was right. At SummerSlam, he will get the beating of a lifetime. Cena tells those who are happy about that to cheer it up, and they do. Cena says at SummerSlam there is a Beast in his windshield, and he’ll get his ass kicked. He will not lie down, though. He will fight. He is going to SummerSlam to beat Brock Lesnar, just like he did in 2012. The crowd loudly boos this.
Cena says for those who cheer and boo, he doesn’t think The Authority or the people realize what will happen to the title if Lesnar becomes champion. Lesnar is a mercenary and a hired gun. Lesnar fights when he wants and destroys what he wants. Cena doesn’t know who else can stop him. No one can control Lesnar, even Paul Heyman.
Paul Heyman makes his way out to the stage, and the crowd cheers him before the boos pick up. Heyman says, “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and at SummerSlam, my client, Brock Lesnar, will conquer John Cena and take away from him the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.” Cena angrily looks at Heyman. Heyman says he thinks Cena is very courageous because he realizes the beating that is coming his way. Heyman doesn’t think Cena understands that he said some mighty big words from a man who is about to be turned into a victim. Heyman asks if Cena knows what it’s like to be victimized. Cena has suffered from defeat and rose to the occasion. Cena has even taken beatings and come back for revenge. Cena has never in his life been victimized. Heyman says Cena can ask The Undertaker what it’s like to be victimized. Heyman then says you can’t ask The Undertaker because no one has seen or heard from him since WrestleMania. Cena is on the offensive. Cena wants to defend the title and survive against his client, but his client, Brock Lesnar, is looking to conquer him. His client is charging forward and is on the offensive. Lesnar won’t just F-5 Cena and pin him, he’s going to also victimize him ruthlessly and mercilessly.
Heyman says Cena is a man with great passion. Cena loves being the WWE Champion and representing those who say, “Let’s go Cena” and “Cena sucks.” Cena loves being in WWE. The only thing Brock Lesnar is passionate about is the sadistic pleasure he gets when he realizes that he is inflicting pain on his victim. Lesnar is salivating at the thought of Cena waking up from his beating and realizing he is no longer champion. All John Cena will be is beaten, victimized, and conquered.
Cena says he is sick of Heyman’s crap and wants to talk to him for real. Cena says Heyman mentioned “passion,” which is something that even Heyman can understand. Cena brings up ECW and gets a chant going. Those who watched and fought with him chant that. Even Heyman smiles at that when they do that. Cena says he shares passion with Heyman. Cena says this is it for him. This is his life. Good, bad, or indifferent, he shows up to work on time and works his ass off because he loves this place and loves what it represents. He has passion for it and the title. The crowd is cheering him. That 300-pound gorilla has no passion for anything other than himself. He is big, strong, and a super-athlete, but what separates him from Cena is heart. Cena says, “When the chips are down, he may beat the hell out of me, but he’s going to have to beat every last breath out of this body because I’m heading into SummerSlam as champion, and I’m walking out with the son of a bitch!”
Cesaro’s music hits, and he comes out to the stage. Cesaro hugs Heyman, and he looks confused. Cesaro says even though he and Heyman have gone their separate ways, he won’t allow Cena to talk about his friend like that. Cena is not a wrestler. He’s a big, muscled up walking billboard. Cena leaves the ring and goes to the foot of the stage. Cesaro asks where he got his shoes. Cesaro says you can’t wrestle in sneakers. Cesaro then says Cena just can’t wrestle. Cesaro then says he’ll prove it in a match right now. Cena gets in the ring, and Heyman says that’s an acceptance. Heyman says this is a bonus. Cena then tells Heyman to shut up. Cena says it’ll be an honor for him, the walking billboard who can’t wrestle, wrestle circles around him and beat him in the ring.

Paige talks about her attack on AJ Lee
Paige skips down to the ring as they show replays of her attacking AJ Lee last week on RAW. Paige says she wants to set the record straight. She’s young, so she sometimes lets her emotions get the better of her. Paige still thinks of AJ as he best friend in the entire world. What she did last week was deplorable. In that moment, she didn’t think of her as a friend. She thought of her as someone who took her title. She crossed the line, but she promises to never act that way ever again.
AJ Lee’s music hits, and the WWE Divas Champion skips down to the ring. AJ gets in the ring and smiles. A “CM Punk” chant breaks up. AJ calls Paige her sweet, young, Casper looking little crumpet. Paige interrupts her, but AJ cuts her off. AJ says she gets it. She gets why Paige is mad. She knows what it feels like to have the Divas Title taken away in an instant. Paige did that to her, but if she wants to be like her and skip, she has to know that she doesn’t play little girl games. She doesn’t smile at people and whisper about them behind their back. AJ says if she has a problem or doesn’t like you, it’ll be to your face. AJ says that’s what a real woman does. Paige swears that she is her real friend. If she doesn’t believe that, then she’s crazy. AJ looks down before looking at her cross. AJ asks what Paige just called her. Paige says she didn’t mean to call her that. Paige says she would never make fun of AJ’s mental health.
AJ smiles and says she gets it. AJ says it was a mistake. It happens to the best of us. Paige spoke and acted without thinking. It happens to all of them, even to those who are a little bit off their rockers. AJ then attacks Paige before throwing her out of the ring. The crowd cheers this loudly. AJ slams her into the barricade before Paige escapes. Paige wonders why it has to be like this. Another big “CM Punk” chant breaks out. AJ then stands in the ring and holds the title up.

The Authority asks for Brie Bella to clear the air
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon come out to the stage. Triple H whispers in Stephanie’s ear, and she smirks. Stephanie then goes back to having a stone-face. A replay is shown of Stephanie slapping Brie Bella in the face. Later in the evening, Stephanie was arrested for battery. Stephanie looks sad in the ring as the crowd chants, “Jailbird.” Stephanie looks like she’s going to cry. Triple H says he’s shared a lot of moments with the crowd over the years. They’ve laughed and cried together. He’s been proud of them, but he’s also been disappointed a few times. He’s never been more disappointed than he was last Monday. He was disgusted and angry. He still is. Triple H says they laughed at his wife when she was arrested last week, and the crowd cheers loudly. Triple H says they found it funny that the mother of his children was handcuffed like a common criminal and dragged out of the arena. They had the guts to laugh and sing while his wife was thrown into a cruiser like a common criminal. The crowd loudly chants while Stephanie looks on the verge of tears. Triple H says he’ll never forgive the crowd for that.
Triple H asks if they know what that did to his wife. It hurt her badly, and they think it’s funny. It was all over a simple misunderstanding. Brie Bella antagonized his wife. She was just defending herself, so it was perfectly acceptable for her to slap Brie. Brie was asking for it. It was a simple misunderstanding because the reality of this situation is all the charges have been dropped. Everything with the exception of one – the assault and battery charge Brie Bella has. Brie refuses to let it go. A big “YES!” chant breaks out. Triple H says they are here to reconcile that misunderstanding. Stephanie asked Brie Bella to come tonight so they can put this whole, ugly incident behind them.
Stephanie takes the microphone, and the crowd loudly boos her. They then chant, “Jailbird.” Stephanie then asks for Brie to come out so they can get this over with. Chris Jericho’s music hits, and he makes his way out to the stage smiling. Jericho feigns sadness. Triple H says Jericho may not have noticed they were in the middle of something. Jericho says he feels so bad about what happened to Stephanie. Jericho says he wanted to come out and give his sympathies with a song. Jericho then sings the theme song to “Cops” – “Bad Boys.” The crowd then sings it by themselves. Stephanie puts her fingers in her ears. Jericho says they sound great, and they erupt with cheers. Triple H does a fake laugh before asking if Jericho thinks this is funny. A big “YES!” chant breaks out. Jericho says this is pretty funny. This is 2014 and Orange is the new Black. It’s all right to be a jailbird nowadays. These are the moments why the WWE Network was created so we can watch Stephanie get handcuffed and carted away over and over again. Triple H says he’s not in the mood for this.
Jericho wants to give her credit. She has stood by her little flower’s side. The big, bad, bald protector with the really big nose made sure his wife was ok, but he has a question. Why when Stephanie was arrested didn’t he leave the arena with her. Jericho says Triple H waited until fifteen minutes after the show was over. Jericho thinks he knows the answer. Triple H is starting to realize that his wife is nothing more than “a filthy, dirty, brutal, bottom feeding, trash bag ho!” Triple H screams at him to shut up. Triple H says Jericho should focus less on them and focus on Bray Wyatt. Jericho says that’s the real reason why he’s out here. After what’s happened these last few weeks, he is focused on Bray Wyatt. He wants Wyatt in that ring tonight. Triple H says he’ll have to wait until SummerSlam. As for tonight…
Seth Rollins then hits Jericho from behind with the Money in the Bank briefcase! Triple H says tonight Jericho will face Seth Rollins. Triple H’s music plays while Jericho writhes in pain on the ramp.
Replays are shown from earlier in the evening when John Cena told Paul Heyman that he was leaving SummerSlam still the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Roman Reigns will face Kane later tonight.

Rusev and Lana have a collision with the Real Americans
Rusev is in the ring with Lana. Lana speaks Russian before saying the American flag (she stops to tell the crowd to shut up as they chant “USA”) is a statement. It used to stand for supremacy over all the nations. It used to fly over battlefields, the masts of ships, and even landed on the surface of the moon. Where is Old Glory now? It is a faded banner for a ruined nation ruled by cowards that get fat off our apathy. Lana says Russia continues to prove its might and is commanded by the fearless leader, Vladimir Putin. Putin’s image is shown on the screen. Lana asks what the puppet President Obama does. He waves his finger like a schoolteacher and warns us about the steep costs of Russia’s peacemaking actions. Lana says it is pathetic. President Obama is a laughable leader. Now, let’s take a look at the fool we elected before him to rule this rotting empire. A picture of George W. Bush is shown on the screen.
Jack Swagger’s music hits, and he comes out to the stage with the American flag and Zeb Colter. Colter says since Lana is holding class out here (he also calls her a blonde-headed, Bolshevik twit-head), he wants to give her a class on flags. He wants her and the dancing bear to listen. Colter says the American flag is a real flag. It has fifty stars and thirteen bars. No matter where it is in the world, everyone knows it represents the United States of America. What does it represent to a Real American? It represents a family sitting together at Thanksgiving giving thanks that they survived another year. We the people! It represents thousands of Americans sitting around a television watching football. We the people! It represents a father and his son fishing, a mother and daughter learning to cook together. It represents pick-up trucks, pretty girls, and beer! We the people! The crowd starts a USA chant.
To Colter, it represents the thousands of brave American men and women who fought and died for that flag to protect our liberty and preserve our freedom. Those are the things Lana viciously insults every time she steps in the ring. Every time she does that, she makes it easy for Real Americans everywhere to rise, put their hands over their hearts, and say, “We the people!”
Rusev gets out of the ring, and Jack Swagger runs down to ringside. Swagger clubs him in the face before sending him into the barricade.

Stephanie McMahon calls Brie Bella out to the ring
Stephanie McMahon makes her way to the ring. A replay is shown from WWE Payback when Brie Bella slapped her and quit. A replay is then shown from last week when Stephanie McMahon slapped her back before later being arrested. Stephanie says she stands before them a humble woman. Getting arrested is a life altering experience. She is the principal owner of WWE. She represents four generations of McMahons and WWE. She represents the shareholders, corporate sponsors, and business partners. They can’t look at her in the eye and not think she’s a common criminal. This experience has affected her both professionally and personally. Her daughters cannot understand why their mother was arrested and taken to jail. Her children are getting teased at summer camp and their friend’s parents won’t let them come over for play dates.
Brie Bella comes in through the crowd, and her music hits. Brie gets in the ring, and she says she’s heard enough of this. Stephanie invited her here tonight, so let’s get to the point. Brie then says, “Or are you just going to stand there like a whining, sniveling little rich bitch?” Stephanie says she asked her here to drop all charges. Brie asks why she would do that. Stephanie says she doesn’t deserve this. No one deserves this. Brie says Stephanie deserves to go to hell. Stephanie says she understands why she’s upset because she took it out on Nikki. From this point forward, she’ll treat Nikki fairly and professionally. Brie says Stephanie is being insulting. Stephanie then suggests a raise for Nikki, and Brie accepts that as long as she agrees to all of her demands. It’s really simple – she wants her job back! The crowd loudly cheers for Brie before starting a “YES!” chant.
Stephanie says Brie needs to be reasonable. She’s talking about giving Nikki a raise. One Bella is enough for WWE. Brie says she’ll see her in court and walks off. Stephanie tells her to wait. Stephanie then asks if she agrees to give her the job back, she’ll agree to drop the charges. Brie agrees, and Stephanie says, “You agree? Awesome! Done deal!” Brie then says there is just one more thing she wants. The crowd begins to cheer in anticipation. Brie says she wants a match at SummerSlam. Stephanie says, “That’s it?” Stephanie says she has it. She asks if it’ll be for the WWE Divas Championship or a Total Divas Blowout. Brie says that’s not the match she wants. The match she wants is against Stephanie! Another “YES!” chant breaks out.
Stephanie says Brie doesn’t understand what she’s asking for. She hasn’t competed in the ring for ten years. She dedicated her life to her career, being a wife, and a mom. She’ll give her the job back, Nikki a raise, and a match at SummerSlam, just not against her. Brie says she won’t drop the charges. She walks off, and Stephanie calls for her to wait. Stephanie says it’s unfair. Stephanie says she can’t wrestle or compete against her. How can Brie expect her to do this? Stephanie says she refuses to do it. She will not lower herself to get into the ring with her. Brie says she’ll see her in court.
Stephanie begs her to wait before walking around the ring. Stephanie asks if she agrees to face her at SummerSlam, she’ll agree to drop all the charges. Brie says she’ll drop all the charges if Stephanie drops all the charges. A big “YES!” chant breaks out, and Stephanie cries before agreeing to it. Stephanie says Brie has to consider something… and she slaps her in the face! Brie falls to the floor from the apron. Stephanie then says she’ll make her her bitch at SummerSlam!
Brie attacks Stephanie, and they begin brawling in the ring. The agents run down to break them up. Brie elbows Jamie Noble in the head and takes Stephanie down as well. Triple H comes down to grab Stephanie and drag her away. Stephanie is dragged up the ramp screaming, “You’re mine! You’re my bitch!”
