August 3 , 2015 Monday Night RAW results The August 3 , 2015 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on August 3 , 2015 at the Sap Center in San Jose , California . Summary . The episode begins with a ten - bell salute and video tribute to Roddy Piper , who died July 31 at age 61 ; the entire WWE roster and officials come on stage and to ringside to pay Piper respect . The Champ is … not here , thanks to a knee to " The Face That Runs the Place " from Seth Rollins that turned John Cena ’ s nose into mush and condemned him to a rare stint on the injured list . But while The Champ mulls Rollins ’ winner take all , title - for - title challenge for SummerSlam , the dueling factors of nostalgia and hubris ( San Jose is where Rollins won the WWE World Heavyweight Title and Cena started his own U . S . Open Challenge ) moved The Architect to institute his own open title defense in Raw ’ s opening moments . Thanks to a few Authority - imposed stipulations — the challenger must be shorter than 6 - feet and less than 200 pounds — Rollins thought he was getting El Torito . Instead , he got Neville . And he almost lost , too , if not for a fateful foot on the ropes that saved Rollins from a three - count after the Red Arrow . The Architect managed to evade the second attempt and win with the Pedigree , but boy , was that close . The Gordian Knot of the tag team division found itself even more twisted on Raw when four of the teams currently orbiting The Prime Time Players ’ titles mixed it up in a rematch of their eight - man rumble on SmackDown . In one corner was the unorthodox combo of The Ascension and The New Day , and in the other was last week ’ s show - stealers , The Lucha Dragons & Los Matadores — with PTP observing from commentary . In a development that would have made Roddy Piper proud , the ne ’ er - do - wells won the day , all thanks to some well - timed chicanery from Xavier Woods . After a mind - boggling scrum left everybody but Kofi Kingston and both Lucha Dragons standing , Woods got into it with El Torito right as Kalisto prepared to take flight against Kingston . Kalisto dispatched the would - be interloper , but Kingston still got the drop , Trouble in Paradise – ing the Dragon off his perch to claim the win . Positively impressive . Let ' s see if they can repeat on SmackDown when Mark Henry joins PTP for a six - man rematch . Meet The Submission Sorority . They ’ re talented , they ’ re gorgeous , and they will tap you out in about five freaking seconds , especially if your last name is “ Bella . ” How do we know this ? Well , two of the Divas division ’ s newest pledges , Charlotte & Becky Lynch , took on the resident queen bees and almost immediately backed up their moniker , locking in holds that torqued The Bella Twins ’ joints into every angle imaginable . The twins were no slouches themselves , though . After taking a fair amount of punishment , Brie managed to escape the Dis - arm - her and give Team Bella some life . But once Becky reached Charlotte , all of The Bellas ’ blunt - force offense couldn ’ t match the former NXT Women ’ s Champion ’ s ingenuity . A fresh Nikki found herself tapping to the Figure - Eight moments later , giving The Submission Sorority their latest win . And don ’ t forget : On Wednesdays , they wear pink . Get the popcorn ready because “ Miz TV ” is back and two people who hate each other are the guests of honor . Joining “ the second most must - see talk show in WWE history ” for Miz ’ s latest interview were Cesaro and Kevin Owens , who have developed a gritty rivalry of late that escalated on SmackDown when The King of Swing defeated K . O . in a tag - team contest . The animosity between the two didn ’ t exactly cool in the setting of a talk show . Owens called Cesaro jealous of his talent , and Cesaro accused Owens of disrespecting the WWE Universe . As tempers rose , Owens balked at Cesaro ’ s challenge to fight , but settled for a cheap shot by shoving Miz into The Swiss Superman . Cesaro recovered quickly and nearly sent Owens a - swingin ’ into the " Cesaro Section , " though the former NXT Champion escaped with his body intact , rejecting the fight until his terms are met . Somebody ’ s gonna get his face kicked . Unfortunately for Mark Henry , that “ somebody ” was him , though The World ’ s Strongest Man had reason to be optimistic in his showdown with Rusev on Raw . After all , The Bulgarian Brute was no longer the undefeated monster who humbled the former World Heavyweight Champion last year , and Henry showed the Hall of Pain was quite open for business only a few weeks back . Unfortunately for Henry , Rusev ’ s own induction into the Hall was cut short in brutal fashion . The Bulgarian Brute smothered his foe from the jump , felling Henry with two thrust kicks to the face for the pin , and a third one after the bell for fun . It would appear that after retaining his kingly status at WWE Battleground , King Barrett has chosen to annex Long Island into his domain . He did so by way of trouncing Zack Ryder on Raw , but The Ultimate Broski got his kicks ( literally ) in , mushing His Grace in the mug with the Broski Boot . The former U . S . Champion couldn ’ t land the Rough Ryder as his follow - up , though , and Barrett capitalized , tossing his opponent over his head and clobbering him with the Bull Hammer while Ryder tried to recover . It ’ s been two weeks since Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker nearly tore the house down in the literal sense . Surely The Beast Incarnate and his advocate Paul Heyman have cooled down enough to properly address the situation , right ? Oh , who are we kidding . Heyman was spitting mad as he blasted The Phenom with his signature rhetoric , questioning the extent of the powers of an Undertaker who had to resort to a low blow to one - up The Conqueror at WWE Battleground . Heyman added that the sneak attack was designed to force Mr . McMahon ’ s hand into sanctioning a Lesnar rematch The Phenom begged for at WrestleMania . Lesnar let Heyman handle the talking , perching himself on the steel steps while the advocate summed things up thusly : Last time , The Phenom needed an ambulance ; this time , he ’ ll need the last rites . Nobody ’ s going to be unseating The Submission Sorority on WWE ’ s Greek night anytime soon . After Becky Lynch & Charlotte knocked off The Bella Twins , Paige answered a challenge from Team B . A . D . ’ s Naomi and gave her sisterhood their second win of the night . In what will surely be a hot topic on the “ Stone Cold ” Podcast following Raw , Paige played defense for the majority of the match , suffering two turnbuckle attacks by Naomi . Paige countered the third , though , shoving Naomi face - first into the turnbuckle , dodging a crossbody and locking in the PTO for the win . Not B . A . D . at all . If there was ever a proper way to pay homage to “ Rowdy ” Roddy Piper , it ’ s got to be a ruffian in a leather jacket teaming up with two of his friends to beat up a bunch of thugs in the main event of Raw . So kudos to Dean Ambrose ( the spitting image of Piper in his Hot Rod tee and leather jacket ) , Roman Reigns & Randy Orton for getting the job done against The Wyatt Family and the enemy of their enemy , Sheamus . The Viper - Shield combo was a well - oiled machine throughout the entire six - man blockbuster that blew the lid off Raw ’ s final moments . Even Ambrose , who found himself isolated by the group ’ s foes , ended up being the difference - maker when he suicide - dove Luke Harper over the commentary table to neutralize the former Intercontinental Champion . That left The Apex Predator free to RKO Bray Wyatt and allowed Reigns , who had been revving up for minutes , to Spear The Celtic Warrior for the win . Cue the bagpipes .
