By Richard Trionfo on 2019-08-05 22:59:00

We are back and Universal Champion Brock Lesnar bounces his way on the stage with Paul Heyman and they make their way to the ring.  

Paul Heyman introduces himself and his client.  Paul says his client has not just authorized him, but has instructed him and ordered him to educate each and every single one of you live and you at home.  Here is your education.  A few questions and they are not rhetorical.  Wasn't Seth Rollins supposed to be the Beast Slayer and the conqueror's conqueror.  Wasn't Seth the man who had Brock's number.  Wasn't Seth supposed to be the architect of the arson that would burn down Suplex City?  Wasn't Seth supposed to be the new hero of the WWE Universe?

Paul says the answers to all of these quetions are in this piece of footage.

We see what happened last week with Seth Rollins at the hands of Brock Lesnar.

Paul says he dropped to his knees last week and he begged an unmerciful beast to show some semblance of mercy on Seth Rollins because he knows that what WWE needs is a new hero.  Then tonight, after the beating that Seth suffered last week at the hands of his client, a beating that was borderline criminal.  Paul says he found out some inside information that Seth Rollins is in Pittsburgh tonight.  Paul says he does not know why you would cheer someone who would go down in a blaze of glory against Brock Lesnar.  It shows that Seth has more balls than he has brains.

Seth's music plays and he comes out gingerly with a steel chair.  Seth struggles to get into the ring.

Paul tells Seth it is not worth it as Seth enters the ring.

Brock kicks Seth in the ribs as Seth charges at Brock.  Brock kicks Seth away and Brock hits Seth in the ribs with the chair.  Brock hits Seth in the back with the chair.  Brock runs Seth into the turnbuckles.  Brock picks up Seth again and runs Seth into the turnbuckles one more time.  Brock pulls off Seth's shirt and we see that Seth's ribs are wrapped.  Brock pushes Seth into the corner.  Brock with a knee to the midsection.  Brock with an F5 to Seth.  

We go to commercial.

We are back and we see footage from the commercial break of Brock Lesnar giving Seth another F5.

Seth takes the mic and he says it has gotten to the point where he has had to ask himself if this is worth it.  Seth says you love something so much you do anything to protect it and keep it safe.  Even if the thing you love keeps you getting beaten to a pulp inside and out week after week after week.  Seth says the answer is yes.  This is all he is.  Every second of every day.  This is all he ever wanted.  This is all he's got.  Seth says he will be at SummerSlam and he will beat Brock Lesnar.  Seth says he guarantees victory on Sunday.

Charly Caruso is with Kurt Angle, the guest referee for the match between Cedric Alexander and Cesaro.  Kurt says it feels great to be back in Pittsburgh.  

The Street Profits show up and they introduce themselves to Kurt.  Angelo says in honor of their title defense at Takeover, the night before SummerSlam, Montez says they are crossing their Ts and dotting their Is, all three of them.  Montez they are a little thirsty and they ask Kurt to join them.  They pull some cups out and fill them with milk.  Kurt says he promised his wife he wouldn't do anything too crazy.  Montez asks if they are talking to Kurt Angle or Mike Kanellis.  Angelo asks them to join him since Kurt is their idol.

We see Drew McIntyre behind the Street Profits and Kurt.  Drew says that was hilarious and he says he wanted to make sure his sides were not splitting.  Drew says he is here in peace.  He reminds Kurt that while he is the home town guy, he wants to remind Kurt what happened the last time they were in the ring.  He tells Kurt to call things down the middle.  Drew reminds Kurt that he tapped him out to an ankle lock.  Drew says if Kurt steps out of line, he will kick Kurt in the skull with his boot.

Match Number Three:  Erik and Ivar versus Jay Alexander and Eric Abraham

Ivar and Alexander start things off and Ivar with knees and then he knocks Abraham off the apron.  Erik tags in and Ivar with a knee and Erik with a knee of his own.  Erik pulls Abraham into the ring to hit a German suplex.  Erik with a knee and rolling elbow.  Erik with a gutbuster to Abrasham and Ivar tags in and Erik with a gutwrench power bomb and Ivar with a splash.  They hit the VIking Experience on Alexander for the three count.
