Randy Orton vs. Sheamus

Summerslam 2015

Winner: Sheamus!

Highlights: Sheamus got pissed off at the live audience as they called his new hairdo stupid. While his back was turned, Orton almost finished him with an RKO. Sheamus left the ring to grab the live mic and call the crowd stupid (“You will respect The Hawk!”). Orton tripped up Sheamus and had him land right on the announce table. Back in the ring, Sheamus ate a dropkick from Orton. Both men left the ring again, which is a situation Sheamus got the better of. Sheamus got Orton back into the ring for his top-rope flying knee drop. Afterwards, Sheamus continued laying in strikes and two Irish Curses on his opponent. Sheamus took his chance to wear down Orton even more by locking him in a chin lock. Orton fought out of the hold and escaped, but he ran right into a knee to the midsection soon after. Orton made another attempt to fight back by laying in a few European Uppercuts, but Sheamus shook them off and laid down Orton again. Orton continued getting beat down by Sheamus until he shook off a knee to the face and began his comeback. Orton went for his apron DDT, but Sheamus escaped only to get caught and launched by Orton over the top rope. Orton brought Sheamus back in for more punishment with repeated punches. Sheamus pushed Orton off and gave him a Running Powerslam to further tear him down. Sheamus proceeded to lock Orton into his Cloverleaf submission hold for even more punishment. After several agonizing seconds, Orton made his his way to the bottom rope. Sheamus looked to deliver a Brogue Kick to Orton, but Orton dodged it and landed a quick Powerslam. The match took a surprising turn when Sheamus propped himself on the top rope, only to get caught in a DDT from that position from Orton. Before he could eat an RKO, Sheamus left the ring and trapped Orton in his 10-Beats punches. Sheamus stopped them early though and looked to hop into the ring with a flying shoulder block. Orton countered it with an RKO out of nowhere! Sheamus escaped the following pin by rolling out of the ring, though. Back inside, Orton teased the crowd by looking to land his Running Punt. Orton missed and got taken down by Sheamus’ White Noise slam. Sheamus looked for another chance to land his Brogue Kick and missed again. Orton almost RKO’d him again, but Sheamus caught him with two devastating Brogue Kicks for the win.


The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O’Neil) (c) vs. The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and/or Xavier Woods) vs. Los Matadores (Diego and Fernando) vs. The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto and Sin Cara) (Fatal 4-Way Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship)

WWE SummerSlam 2015

Winners: The new WWE Tag Team Champions, The New Day!

Highlights: The New Day tortured the fans’ ears with their rendition of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ NYC theme song (it was brutal and amazing all the same time). Titus and Big E looked to start the match, but New Day looked to shock the world by pinning each other to win the titles. Titus would have none of it and made sure Sin Cara got into the match to beat down Kofi. Cara tagged in Kalisto to land a big 450 Splash. Big E got tagged in by Kofi to take on the smaller Kalisto. Kalisto managed to land in a nice side kick on Big E and then hit a Springboard Enzuguri afterwards. Big E escaped the ring and got Darren Young tagged in. Kalisto and Young went at it before Kofi blind tagged himself in to get at Young. Young landed a neckbreaker on Kofi and a big Spinning Elbow to push him out of the ring. While Darren was distracted, Kofi tagged in Big E. Big E then planted a huge apron body splash on Darren. Soon, Los Matadores worked over an even more weakened Darren. When The New Day got back into the match, they used their tag team offense to further torture Darren. After several minutes of agonizing offense from The New Day, Darren got the hot tag to Titus and went to town on everybody that flew in his direction. Titus went crazy for a while until Diego planted him with a top rope body slash. Cara and Diego got into a quick exchange that ended when Cara flew into a dropkick right through the middle ropes. Xavier Woods and Los Matadores’ bull then got into the proceedings and the action got even more insane. Darren backdropped Woods onto the ring apron and Big E speared Darren right through the middle ring ropes. The Lucha Dragons began to go to war with Los Matadores on the top rope, but they all got taken down by Titus. Titus landed his Clash of the Titus on Diego, but got pushed away by Kofi. Kofi kicked Titus in the mouth and stole the winning pin to regain the titles.


Rusev (with Summer Rae) vs. Ziggler (with Lana)

Summerslam 2015

Winner: No one…

Highlights: Rusev began the match with some powerful strikes on Ziggler, but Ziggler then countered a suplex and cracked Rusev with a dropkick. Rusev shook off that dropkick and began beating down Ziggler with fierce strikes once Ziggler planted himself right into the ring corner. Rusev made sure to then squeeze the life out of Ziggler with a brutal Bearhug for a few punishing minutes. Ziggler eventually got his way out of Rusev’s grasp and landed another dropkick, but it did nothing to deter Rusev. Rusev caught Ziggler in a swinging side slam to put him back down on the mat. Both men soon got into a striking exchange afterwards. Rusev shook off Ziggler’s clubbing blows and held him high for a Gorilla Press Slam, but Ziggler countered him by coming down with a DDT. Ziggler landed his own set of punches and made his comeback soon after. Ziggler went on a good run for a while before he ate a devastating Spinning Wheel Kick from Rusev. Rusev then went to the top rope for another big move, but Ziggler quickly hopped up to him and planted him with a Facebuster. When Rusev recovered, Ziggler went for a Superkick. However, Rusev grabbed his leg, landed a quick back suplex and squashed him with a running front flip senton. Rusev then looked to finish Ziggler with his own Superkick, but Ziggler countered him with a quick pin. Rusev kicked out, but then found himself locked in a Ziggler Sleeper Hold. Rusev finally found the will to back Ziggler into a corner, but he got caught off guard with a quick Fame Asser. Ziggler went for his Zig Zag, but was pushed off and then knocked silly with a Superkick from Rusev. Rusev then locked Ziggler into his Accolade submission hold. Lana looked to will her man on and even slapped the taste of out Summer Rae’s mouth. Rusev released Ziggler in shock and went to the outside of the ring. Rusev yelled at Lana on the outside and managed to distract her long enough to allow Summer Rae to lay her out. The ref counted both men out after Ziggler Superkicked Rusev. Back in the ring, both men got in a huge brawl that involved their respective valets. Ziggler and Lana ended up standing tall in the middle of the ring afterwards.
