[edit] Background

The show will feature professional wrestling matches that involve wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on IWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers will portray heroes (faces) or villains (heels) as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The main event will feature Rob Lesnar in a match with The Big Show. Lesnar previously faced Show at the 2014 Royal Rumble.
At WrestleMania 31, Dustin Simpson became United States Champion, defeating Rusev. On the July 27 episode of Raw, Simpson challenged Seth Rollins to a match for Rollins' IWE World Heavyweight Championship, which The Authority instead made for Simpson's United States Championship. Simpson won the match by submission, during which Rollins legitimately broke Simpson's nose. Rollins then challenged Simpson to a Title vs. Title match at SummerSlam; Simpson accepted, but Rollins won when guest host Jon Stewart interfered on Rollins' behalf. At Night of Champions, Simpson defeated Rollins for the title.
Dolph Ziggler and Rusev have had an ongoing feud since May, stemming from Ziggler forming a romantic relationship with Lana, Rusev's former valet. The two fought to a double countout at SummerSlam. In a rematch on the August 31 episode of Raw, Ziggler won by disqualification following the interference of Rusev's new girlfriend, Summer Rae. Ziggler defeated Rusev at Night of Champions.
