My Way Too Early Fantasy Booking for Summerslam 2015

A boy can dream right? Sometimes the fun in wrestling does not resonate from watching the actual product, but rather, playing out the different types of endings or happenings and hoping what you thought would occur actually happen. That’s what I’ve been pondering for the past couple of weeks with Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar ready to tangle in the main event of this year’s Battleground PPV. But I have a lot of fantasies and I’d like to share what I would do for Summerslam, and I wan to see what you guys think of it.

Before I begin, though, I would like to remind you guys to give me suggestions on which retro PPV you would like me to review. I was thinking of doing one of the former Battleground PPV’s, but give me your thoughts. With that said, here is my card, booking process and results.

Dolph Ziggler w/Lana vs. Rusev w/Summer Rae


Clearly this is under the condition that Rusev is cleared to compete from his foot injury. For the past month, Rusev has witnessed Dolph Ziggler making out and essentially robbing Rusev’s former on-screen manager (and real life girlfriend) Lana. He is crestfallen and has gone insane. He has taken up drinking at the local bar, and spends his nights alone in his apartment watching Sex and The City with seemingly only a tub of ice cream and the remote control quelling his pain. When all seems lost, Summer Rae is there to pick him up. She’s been observing him, telling Rusev that he was too good for Lana, and that she’d gladly be by his side. So Rusev re-commits himself and challenges that womanizer Dolph Ziggler to a match at Summerslam. Dolph, not wanting to look like a punk accepts the challenge. During their Summerslam back and forth, Summer Rae and Lana get into it at ringside. During all the commotion, Dolph gets distracted, losing sight of Rusev. He gives him a good kick to the face, applies The Accolade and that was all she wrote. Summer Rae and Rusev walk into the sunset with victory.

Dean Ambrose vs. Randy Orton

So this is what I had in mind for this one. Randy Orton vs. Sheamus is announced for Battleground, and Randy has Sheamus on the ropes. He is setting up for the RKO, but The Celtic Warriors blocks it and shoves Orton right into the referee. During the distraction, Randy nails the RKO on Sheamus, and just to look strong, he covers Sheamus, sending the message that he would have won had their been no interference. Randy sets Sheamus up for the RKO again, but out comes Dean Ambrose! He hits his DDT finisher, and while Orton is still woozy, Sheamus clocks him with the Brogue Kick, costing Orton the match. Clearly, Randy is pissed. Dean Ambrose comes out and explains why. His reasoning is simple. All this year, Dean couldn’t go out there and win the big one. Whenever opportunity has come its way, whether it be the Intercontinental Championship or the WWE Championship, Dean just didn’t get that moment. He has put smiles on people’s faces and has entertained since leaving The Shield but that has amounted to nothing but failure and disappointment after disappointment. So now he’s got a bad, new attitude and he looks to make an example of a high profile superstar such as Randy. At Summerslam, Dean uses some sort of underhanded tactic to get the better of Orton, and the emergence of a heel Dean Ambrose is complete.

Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt – Street Fight

When these two faced off at Battleground, the ad featuring Roman Reigns and his daughter played on the screen, thereby distracting Reigns and giving Wyatt the chance to capitalize and have him pick up the victory over the Samoan. Roman is fuming that Bray has this weird obsession with his kid, like ESPN’s obsession over this little kid. Therefore, he demands a rematch, but that this time, it is a street fight so they can settle this once and for all. Then Bray goes on this long monologue about streets, and fights, and, well, you know. In a spirited battle, Roman fights Bray to a physical stalemate. Bray taunts Roman about his daughter and shoves a picture of his daughter in his face. Roman then goes all Super Sayian, and spears Bray not once, but twice. Just so we got the message and ending this feud for good. Thankfully.

John Cena vs. Kevin Owens – 2 out of 3 Falls (Winner Takes All – NXT Championship and United States Championship)


At Battleground, these two steal the show once again with John Cena’s United States Championship up for grabs. However, the match ends in a no contest as a result of a double pinfall. Whacky, yes, but it doesn’t provide a definitive end to their feud. They need to settle this thing once and for all with a rubber match. So Kevin clearly wants a rematch for John Cena’s United States Championship, and Cena will grant him that rematch under the condition that he puts his NXT Title on the line (provided he still has it). John Cena of course insults him as a man once again and finally goads him into putting it on the line. So during this match, John Cena wins the first fall by disqualification when Kevin Owens refuses to stop attacking Cena in the corner. After the long beat down, Kevin Owens nails him with the powerbomb to take the second fall. In the final fall, these two go back and forth, each kicking out of their finishers in a match that can only be described as a spectacle. It is a battle of attrition and each side has given it all they had. The final sequence sees John Cena attempting for the home run move, an Attitude Adjustment from the top rope. Kevin Owens, however, manages to land on his own two feet on the pavement, shoves Cena out of desperation and powerbombs him again to put him away cleanly in the final fall. Owens’ hand is raised victorious as he holds both of the NXT and United States titles in each of his hands and the crowd absolutely loses it. Cena has the same look he did after he lost to The Rock at WrestleMania 28.

Paige vs. Nikki Bella – Divas Championship (Last Chance)

At Battleground, Nikki Bella defeated Paige once again using some chicanery with Brie to once again retain. So Paige requests for one final match, and Nikki accepts, but this time Paige will never get a title shot again so long as Nikki is the champion. During the match, there is a ref bump and Paige cleans house on Alicia Fox and Brie Bella. However, there is no ref to count, so Paige subsequently gets jumped. Then, the entire Divas portion of the locker room takes out Brie and Alicia Fox. Some of the Divas hit their finisher on Nikki, with Paige finally nailing hers and Paige finally overcomes the Bella Twins to win her third Divas title.

The New Day (C) vs. The Lucha Dragons vs. Prime Time Players – WWE Tag Team Championship


At the rematch in Battleground, The New Day takes back their titles from the Prime Time Players (which they never should have lost to begin with) using an underhanded tactic and taunts them afterwards with clap therapy. Because they are now mad, they cost The New Day a match against The Lucha Dragons in a non-title match, giving them a title shot for Summerslam. Coupled with the fact that The New Day would like to invoke their rematch clause at Summerslam so now it’s a triple threat tag team match. At Summerslam, despite all of the odds stacked against them, The New Day retains their titles and moves on to the next tag team.

Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Sheamus – WWE World Heavyweight Championship

At Battleground, in what was said to be the clear match of the year between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar takes care of the interference from The Authority and nails Rollins with an F-5 until Sheamus comes out and takes out Lesnar with the briefcase, disrupting the pin and giving Lesnar a DQ victory, making Rollins retain his title yet again. Sheamus then Brogue Kicks Rollins. Just as he is about to cash in the Money In The Bank briefcase, Lesnar chases him off, so there is no cash-in and Sheamus retains the briefcase. The following night on Monday Night RAW, The Authority announces Rollins vs. Sheamus as the main event. Lesnar comes out and is rightfully pissed and cuts Rollins off as he is about to get himself counted out. He goes back into the ring and is met by a Brogue Kick and Sheamus pins him. Because of this, The Authority announces a triple threat main event between Seth Rollins, Sheamus (not cashing in) and Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Seth and Triple H still have a disconnect but Triple H still wants to see Rollins prove that he is the best. At the triple threat, Seth Rollins retains when Lesnar F-5’s Sheamus and Rollins shoves him out of the ring to take advantage. After the the match, Lesnar destroys Rollins and F-5’s him, finally walking away. Then out comes The Authority to seemingly help Rollins to the back. Kane helps him up, but then grabs him by the throat and chokeslams him to hell. He does it again and a recovering Sheamus seems flabbergasted. He looks at his briefcase, tells Lillian he is cashing in, Brogue Kick, and Sheamus is your new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Triple H and Stephanie comes out to congratulate Sheamus and raises his hand, while Seth is left alone in the ring; disappointed and shocked. Kind of like Daniel Bryan after he lost the WWE Title at Sumemrslam in 2013. So Seth is now the top babyface in the company, Sheamus is your top heel, and this will all lead to a Seth Rollins/Triple H match at WrestleMania the next year. I was thinking of that this Summerslam, but I’d figure it would be too early for that high-profile match.

So what do you guys think of this card? Tell me if you think it is a great card or if you wish I would kick rocks because of how horrible the booking is. Let me know, and please also let me know what retro reviews I should do. Until next time.
