CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre Segment
Seth Rollins: Saint Paul, Minnesota. Welcome to Monday Night Rollins. I am your host for this evening’s events. Oh, Saint Paul, I am a visionary, I am a revolutionary, I am Seth Freakin’ Rollins. SummerSlam is only five days away, five days from the highly anticipated contest between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk, and we are here to lay out some rules and regulations for that contest. So, without further ado, Saint Paul, let’s bring out these two morons. Alright, I can see there’s a lot of tension here. I know we’re talking about the rules and regulations for SummerSlam, but we need to get something out of the way for tonight. This is direct from the office of Adam Pearce. You two are not allowed to lay a finger on one another or the match for SummerSlam is off. One step further, and this is from Pearce, if you lay a finger on me tonight, the match for SummerSlam is off.
Drew McIntyre: I’m sorry, Punk, I got self-control, I can wait till Saturday. Don’t be such a coward and get back in here.
CM Punk: I’m not scared of you, Drew. I’m certainly not worried about anything you’re gonna try to do to me, Seth. I’m worried about what I’m going to do, so I’ll just kind of take myself out of this situation. I’ll just sit over here, calm cool, collected.
Seth Rollins: I know you love to call the shots, don’t you? You love to think you’re in charge of everything, everything has got to be CM Punk’s way. That’s not how this is going to work. And it’s certainly not how SummerSlam is going to work. Now, look, I didn’t have to be the referee for this match. I volunteered because you two idiots scared off any other official back there. But I can go right back there, right now, take off this here referee shirt, give it to Adam Pearce, and the whole thing is off. But I want to see the two of you, fight. Drew McIntyre wants this fight. The people of Saint Paul want this fight. And if you want this fight, I suggest you get your ass back in my ring.
CM Punk: There, he is, the bootlicking office boy. Sure, you love the fact that you can lord over me, and I have to do what you say, so enjoy it while you can.
Drew McIntyre: Seth, Seth, don’t listen to him, don’t worry about Punk, just listen to me for a second. You and I, we don’t always like each other, but our relationship is a professional rivalry, we just want to be the best. Sometimes I’m an arse, sometimes you’re an arse, we just want what’s best for the future of WWE. That is not what’s best for the future of WWE. You said it yourself, he is a cancer, corporate man Punk. With management, with the kids in NXT, poisoning their minds after all of our hard work, the true workhorses, he’s going to screw it all up. Remember that on Saturday, that is the real enemy.
Seth Rollins: You know, Drew, you are an idiot, and you’ve said a lot of wrong things in your life, but you’re right about one thing. If there’s anybody that hates CM Punk as much you, it’s me. The thing you’re looking over, however, is that if there’s anybody that hates you as much as CM Punk, it’s also me. So, if you two wouldn’t mind shutting up for about three seconds, I’ll get to the rules and regulations for what will be a violent masterpiece at SummerSlam. There’s only one rule, there’s only one regulation, you two will listen to everything I have to say. I call the shots. I’m the boss. I’m the law. I count to three when I want to count to three. You tap out when I say you can tap out. If there’s a count-out to be had, maybe there won’t be any count-outs, I don’t know, I might count to ten, I might count to twenty, I might count to a million. Disqualifications, eh, referee’s discretion. The bottom line is, if either you two get out of line, you have a problem with what I say or my rules or the way I call my match in my ring. I’m not just a little referee that you can push around, no, I’m a spiteful little bastard, and I will put your head in the dirt.
CM Punk: I think you being a referee is a hat on a hat. Based on the way you dress, I’m sure you’d probably like something like that. I hope you referee better than you dress. I don’t believe you. You’re a liar. You’re not going to be biased? You’re going to call it down the middle? That’s fine. If you plan on screwing me on Saturday, there’s nothing I can do about that, I will deal with you on Saturday. The thing that I don’t want you to do, if you hate me, if you hate him, I don’t want your help at all. I never needed it, I never wanted it, and I never want to listen to you.
Drew McIntyre: Punk, I think you’re worrying about the wrong person here, you should be worried about the 6’5, 280-pound man that you’ve screwed over and over again. I hate you. I can’t stand you. I hate that you’re like some kind of Charles Manson, that’s poison everyone’s mind, including these fans that chant your name at me everywhere I go. I can’t go to the supermarket without hearing your stupid name shouted at me. I’ve spent the last seven months practically saying everything I’ve had to say. At Royal Rumble, I wanted to rough you up just a little bit, and I tore your triceps, I took you out for seven months. I wasn’t even trying then, man. You screwed me at WrestleMania out of the World Title. You screwed me in front of my family in Scotland out of the World Title. What do you think is going to happen on Saturday? Right now, I’m not your enemy, this is me chilled. That bell is your enemy, because when it rings, I am going to violently assault you. I hurt you already. I’m going to blackened both your eyes. I’m going to break your jaw. This is not a wrestling match. I know you say you hate him, but I know you got compassion in your soul, because he will have to stop that match, because I won’t stop until your heart does. And you want to know what’s the best thing? It’s in Cleveland, it’s in a stadium, I’m going to get paid so much money to do something I would do for free.
CM Punk: For ten years, I was absent from this company, and they chanted my name. They sing his song, they chant my name, you’re the third wheel in this match at SummerSlam, how’s that feel, Drew? The one positive about PDS, which is Punk Derangement Syndrome, which you both clearly suffer from, you can get to be in my orbit, you get to breath the rare air that CM Punk produces. I hope you’ve enjoyed the last six months, because hurting CM Punk was the best thing to happened to your career. And the worst thing that’s happened in your career was hurting CM Punk. For all of your accomplishments, for everything that you’ve done, for how tall you are, for how big you are, for how mean you are, you’re stupid and you continuously dumb yourself out of position. You dumbed yourself out of the World Title at WrestleMania. I’m your enemy, but I’m not your worst, you are. And you’re constantly dumbing yourself out of position. You’re going to do the same thing on Saturday, because you’re stepping in the ring with the best in the world. I’m not as tall as you, I’m not as big as you, I’m probably not as fast as you, but you know what I got? I got heart. You know what I got heart? I got the people chanting my name. What do you got?
– McIntyre flashes the AJ Lee/Larry Bracelet. And we have an intense standoff to close this segment.

Carlito asks if they were going to get a brand new PS5. Rhea still doesn’t understand why Carlito is around the group. Damian Priest is completely disgusted.

Damian Priest Promo
There’s been a lot of talk about my past lately. How I was raised, how I lived on the streets. And all this talk is coming from one guy who has no understanding, who has no idea what that’s like. This is a guy, GUNTHER, that grew up with, here you go. You want the best training facility, the best training team, here you go. How about a group to tell you how great you are, here you go. But what he doesn’t have is what can’t be handed to him, no heart. Now, GUNTHER, you call me street trash. That translates to me as a Puerto Rican bad ass, so, yes I am. To me, you’re what, European product of ingenuity. That translates to you’re an asshole. The WWE ring was supposed to be a place of salvation, a place for me to forget about my past. But at SummerSlam, that ring will become the streets. Your ass is going to get mugged, because I’m going to rob you of this idea that you can take this World Heavyweight Championship from me at SummerSlam. I lived to fight for everything I got. And now I’m willing to die for everything I have, are you? Welcome to my neighborhood, General.
– There will be a three-hour Countdown to SummerSlam Special on Saturday.
Bron Breakker Promo
I’m not here to talk down on Sami Zayn, Hell, I don’t even dislike Sami Zayn. He’s at the top of his game, the top of his profession, standup comedy. See, at Money In The Bank, I didn’t take him seriously, I thought I was fighting a standup comic, I put my hands behind my back. I didn’t take him seriously, and you know, that’s on me, that’s a rookie mistake. But it made me realize the difference between me and Sami Zayn. You see, Sami Zayn has already accepted the fact that he is going to lose at SummerSlam. There’s nowhere for Sami to run any longer, because he’s preparing for a life after WWE, preparing for a life after Bron Breakker. Sami Zayn and Friends, you see it, they promote it every single week on Monday Night Raw. And while you Sami tell jokes for your preparation, I’ve been in the gym, hungry, training like a dog, redefining the words effort, attitude and toughness. And it will be on full display this Saturday at SummerSlam, when the joke is on you, and the Intercontinental Championship will be on me.

Fourth Match: Karrion Kross w/The Final Testament vs. Xavier Woods
Karrion Kross: Wait one second. Hold up, I have a few things I want to address. Now, I just notified that Kofi Kingston reinjured his shoulder on the Japan tour, and that’s why he’s not here tonight. Do you really believe that? I think Kofi skipped out for two reasons. One, the world for once doesn’t revolve around him, it’s revolving you, and he can’t stand that. And the other reason he skipped town is because, let’s face it, nobody wants to be in this hell hole of Minnesota. Now, I want to give you a way out of this beating, because I still believe in you. I just have a couple of things I want you to do tonight. The first thing is, I want you to join The Final Testament, live here on Raw, tonight. Don’t listen to them. And the second thing I want you to do is, I want you to tell the little kids at home watching, that the Power Of Positivity was always one big lie. And here’s the last thing, and this is not that big of a deal, but it’s really important to me. I want you to tell that one arm bastard, Kofi Kingston, that he should’ve retired after he lost the WWE Title in just six seconds.

Winner: Karrion Kross via Pinfall
– We see a clip of Triple H greeting WWE Hall Of Famer Jesse “The Body” Ventura in the backstage area.
– Jackie Redmond had a backstage interview with Sami Zayn. How is he feeling about the comments Bron Breakker made earlier tonight? It’s obvious Bron thinks that he’s going to lose the title at SummerSlam because he’s too prioritized with the standup comedy show the night before. The funny thing is, Sami had that same comedy show the night before Money In The Bank, and he won the next night. He knows that Bron is taking this match more seriously because he continues to attack him from behind every chance he gets. Even last week, Sami finally got a moment to share in the ring with his uce, Jey Uso, and yet again, Bron delivers a cheap shot Spear. He understands that Bron is young, he’s hungry and he wants the Intercontinental Championship, but this time around, his attitude will be different. It’s not about teaching respect, it’s about kicking Bron Breakker’s ass at SummerSlam. As far as The Judgment Day are concerned, he’s going to handle that business, right now.
Liv Morgan Promo
Do you know how it feels to have your heart break down? It takes your breath away. It feels like you can’t even breathe. I would’ve done anything for you, Dominik. I put you on a pedestal. I treated you like the man that I thought you were. But you’re not a man, you’re just Rhea’s little bitch. I wish I can take back every single tear I wasted on you, but I can’t. Because all I can do now is make your life a living hell. At SummerSlam, I will complete The Liv Revenge Tour when I beat Rhea Ripley and leave Dominik with whatever’s left of his precious little Mami. Meanwhile, I’ll be standing in that right, with my arm raised, as I hear those three little words, Women’s World Champion. Watch Me.

Rhea Ripley Promo
Liv Morgan. You want to burn and break things that don’t belong to you. You so badly want to be the victim in your little revenge tour fantasy. That’s all it is, a fantasy. The reality is, this Saturday at SummerSlam, your little revenge tour, it ends. There’s no more running, there’s no more hiding, there’s no more manipulating. You thought I was brutal the last time I attacked your shoulder, but that’s what happens when I warned you multiple times to stay out of my business. Now, now you’ve not only taken three months of my career by injuring my shoulder, touché by the way, but you’ve taken my championship, you’ve tried to manipulate my family, my Latino Heat. You so badly want me to be the demon in your little fantasy dream. But at SummerSlam, it’s time I get my revenge.

GUNTHER Promo
Last week, I offered Damian Priest the easy way out for the second time in a row, and his reaction was a reaction of a weak man. A reaction of a man that doesn’t have control over his own emotions, but that’s okay. Damian Priest doesn’t have to pretend anymore, because I exposed him for what he really is, an emotional wannabe that abuses this business as a cure for his childhood trauma. As far as tonight goes, Finn Balor, I used to look up to you, you used to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers in the world. And you still are a World Tag Team Champion, but let’s be honest to each other, you and I both know that you were destined for much greater things. But ever since you decided to surround yourself with those Judgment Day weirdos, you became just what like they are, street trash. And it’s going to be my pleasure tonight to find out how much of the old Finn Balor is still left in you. And Damian Priest, I want you to know this, I will never forgive you for abusing this great sport to cover up your pathetic existence. After SummerSlam, you and the rest of the world will forever remember the day The Ring General saved this great sport and the World Heavyweight Championship.
