\nLast week on RAW, Lana got cake in the face which led to a Summer Slam US Title match for Roman Reigns, and Finn Balor gave Rollins a lesson on Irish myths and legends.<\/p>\n

Outside the Arena<\/em><\/span>
\nEarlier today, Seth Rollins called out the “Demon King.” Of course no one showed up, so Rollins decides he will look for the Demon King in the arena.<\/p>\n

Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nRusev and Lana (and John Cone) are already in the ring, and they are pissed. Rusev says there will be no RAW until Reigns comes out and apologizes for last week. Instead of Reigns, Mick Foley heads to the ring. Rusev demands respect. Right now. He won’t deal with Foley, so Stephanie McMahon comes out and heads to the ring.<\/p>\n

Stephanie reprimands Rusev for not showing respect to Foley. Rusev then suggests that he might call Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan since they respect talent. Roman Reigns then comes out and makes some jokes. He’s ready to fight, but Steph doesn’t want to give away the Summer Slam match. Foley then steps in and makes a match between Rusev and Reigns anyway, but it’s for Lana’s honor, not the US Title.<\/p>\n

** Even though the title isn’t on the line, isn’t that still kind of giving away most of the Summer Slam match? **<\/span><\/p>\n

Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nByron Saxton asks Sheamus about Cesaro. Sheamus says he’s already proven that he’s better than Cesaro, so he’s moving on to Sami Zayn.<\/p>\n

** I don’t think his attempted insult towards the fans really worked. They were saying he looked stupid, so Sheamus responded by saying they all paid to see him, so “who’s stupid now?” He kind of just said that the fans were stupid for paying to see him. So by insulting the fans he insulted himself as well. I think that’s pretty stupid. **<\/span><\/p>\n
