Description
The Beast in the East was a professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It took place on July 4, 2015 at Ryōgoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan. It aired live on the WWE Network and live on J Sports in Japan. Replays would air on J Sports 4 in Japan. Additionally, it would be available on demand on both the WWE Network and J Sports. It was the first WWE event to be broadcast live from Japan. The Beast in the East was available to subscribers of the WWE Network, in over 140 countries.

On May 28, 2015, it was revealed that Brock Lesnar was scheduled to appear at the July 4 live event in Japan. This would mark Lesnar's first non-PPV match for WWE since 2004. Lesnar reportedly requested a spot on the show so he and Brad Rheingans could go to Tokyo to visit Masa Saito, who was in bad health. WWE then released a promotional video announcing that the show would no longer be a house show, and would be broadcast live on the WWE Network. One day later, WWE revealed the entire match card for the show. One of the matches scheduled for the event, The New Day vs. Tyson Kidd and Cesaro, would no longer take place due to Tyson Kidd suffering an injury, which is expected to take him out for over a year. It was later announced that The New Day would face The Lucha Dragons.

Kevin Owens defended his NXT Championship against Finn Bálor at the event. The storyline between the duo started in February 2015 at NXT TakeOver: Rival, when Owens captured the NXT Championship while Bálor won a tournament to become number one contender. Bálor got his title shot on the March 25 episode of NXT; despite claiming that he did not need 'the Demon' to beat Owens, the champion prevailed over his unpainted challenger by taking advantage of a storyline leg injury. However, Bálor once again became number one contender at NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable in May when he beat Tyler Breeze. On the June 3 episode of NXT, it was announced that Bálor would receive another title match against Owens at Beast in the East, with Bálor vowing that Owens would 'meet the Demon' in Japan, where Bálor had prior history with.
