\nBrock Lesnar and Paul Heyman smile at each other.<\/p>\n

Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nKofi Kingston heads to the ring. Kofi first says that last week on SMackDown, Kevin Owens reinjured Big E’s knee. Also, Dolph Ziggler tried to injure Kofi, but Kofi is still here. Kofi will address Ziggler later, but he’s here on RAW to confront Brock Lesnar. Kofi can’t think of a better way to solidify his position as WWE Champ than to beat Lesnar, so Kofi wants Lesnar to cash in the Money on the Bank on him tonight.<\/p>\n

Seth Rollins heads to the ring. Rollins likes what Kofi is saying. Rollins wants to know who Lesnar is going to cash in on right now, so he calls Lesnar out to the ring. Lesnar and Heyman head to the ring.<\/p>\n

Lesnar pretends the Money in the Bank briefcase is a boom box, and that goes on for what feels like minutes. Lesnar dances and laughs, so Rollins just leaves the ring. Heyman is sad. He says Lesnar was going to announce who he was going to cash in on, but Rollins ruined their “Brock party.” Heyman and Lensar leaves without announcing anything.<\/p>\n

As Kofi watches Lesnar and Heyman leave, Dolph Ziggler appears and attacks Kofi from behind. Ziggler hits a Zig Zap on the floor, then Ziggler grabs a chair. Before Ziggler can attack Kofi again, Xavier Woods runs out and chases Ziggler away.<\/p>\n

After a commercial break, Kofi is being helped to the back. Ziggler runs up the ramp and attacks Woods. Kofi is taken away, but the brawl between Woods and Ziggler heads back down to ringside. The brawl goes back and forth as it makes its way out into the crowd. Back at ringside, Ziggler uses a chair on Woods. In the ring, Ziggler wraps a chair around Woods’s head, but Kofi runs out and chases Ziggler away before Ziggler can finish his attack.<\/p>\n

After another commercial break, Kofi is helping Woods in the ring. From the stage, Ziggler tells Kofi that he shouldn’t be worrying about Lesnar, he should worry about Ziggler at Super ShowDown. Ziggler tells Kofi to celebrate as much as he can for the next eleven days. Ziggler thinks Kofi is the best WWE Champ he can remember, but every time he sees the WWE Title around Kofi’s waist, he remembers that it should have been him. At Super SHowDown, it will be him.<\/p>\n

Outside the Venue<\/em><\/span>
\nA bunch of superstars are having a Memorial Day barbecue out in the parking lot. The Usos welcome everyone the Uso Block Party.<\/p>\n

Backstage<\/em><\/span>
\nCharly Caruso asks Shane McMahon wy he is competing tonight. Shane says he has Roman Reigns at Super ShowDown, so why shouldn’t he compete on RAW. He turns and asks Drew McIntyre if he’s ready. He is ready, and they both head to the ring area.<\/p>\n

Video<\/em><\/span>
\nA look at the history between Randy Orton and Triple H in preparation for their match at Super ShowDown.<\/p>\n

Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nShane McMahon and Drew McIntyre are in the ring. Shane talks about the Samoan dynasty. He says he grew up knowing Afa and Roman Reigns’ father Sika. Shane says he might know Reigns’ father even better than Reigns himself. Shane was there to see Sika’s mistakes, and Shane’s father Vince McMahon was always there to clean up those mistakes. Tonight, Shane will fight a member of the Samoan dynasty.<\/p>\n
