\nLast Monday, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns battled to decide a number one contender for the Universal Title, but Braun Strowman, who didn’t die when Reigns tried to murder him in an ambulance, ruined the match.<\/p>\n

Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nKurt Angle heads to the ring. Angle recaps last week’s reveal of his son, Jason Jordan. Jordan will have his first match as a member of the RAW roster tonight. He’s been given an opportunity, so now Jordan will have to capitalize on that opportunity.<\/p>\n

Angle then begins to talk about Braun Strowman ruining his plans for Summer Slam and Brock Lesnar’s opponent. Angle is about to announce who will face Lesnar when Strowman interrupts and heads to the ring. Strowman says that he should face Lesnar since he won his match at Great Balls of Fire. Before Angle can respond, Samoa Joe heads to the ring.<\/p>\n

Joe keeps things simple. He doesn’t fear Lesnar, nor does he fear Strowman. All Strowman did last week was prevent Reigns from losing to Joe again, for the third time in a row. Therefore, Joe should face Lesnar. Before Angle can respond, Reigns heads to the ring.<\/p>\n

Reigns talks about what he’s done in the past, saying that neither Joe nor Strowman have done anything. Before a brawl can break out, Angle says that he has changed his mind again. At Summer Slam, the Universal Title will be defended in a Fatal Four Way match. Joe does not like the idea. Strowman doesn’t care. Reigns just wants to fight.<\/p>\n

A brawl then breaks out. They fight until Angle calls other superstars to the ring to restore order. It doesn’t work. Strowman ends up being the last man standing in the ring while Joe is held back and Reigns gets beat up.<\/p>\n
