WWE RAW ResultsAugust 24rd 2015
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman kick the show off and neither look too happy at all. Heyman introduces himself as the pissed off advocate of the ripped off beast, and he asked what the hell happened last night? Heyman says Brock made Taker tap for the first time, but somehow the record books will skew that and show Taker getting the victory. He says it’s a fact that Brock took Taker to Suplex City, then he shows footage of Taker tapping out, and says this tale is over. He says Taker isn’t dead or immortal because he tapped out, and that’s means Brock is a better man and wrestler than him.
Heyman says the referee isn’t to blame, then he says the timekeeper felt compassion for Taker and acted too soon. Heyman brings up Taker collapsing on the way backstage, and says he has material for all three hours, but Taker took advantage and took a desperate low blow at Brock. He says Taker needed to hear him tap, but Brock flipped him off and told him to ‘GFY’, because Taker can’t hang with him. Heyman says they aren’t here to talk, and Brock wants to fight Taker one more time, and it’s not for Wrestlemania or any other night but tonight!
Brock waits but Bo Dallas comes out instead, and he says the bad news is Brock passed out last night, but the good news is that he woke up and had a dream. He probably dreamed about beating Taker, but those dreams can come true if he only Bo-lieves! Brock clotheslines him and suplexes him, then he hits a few more suplexes before leaving. Heyman gets to the top of the ramp and tells Brock to go back for more, and he drops Bo with a F5 and Heyman mocks Bo and says Brock does bo-lieve!
