– We are told that it is official that the Demon will be facing Bray Wyatt on Sunday. We go to commercial.

In the Arena:

We are back and Kurt Angle is in the ring and security are lumberjacks around the ring. Kurt says we are moments away from the face to face to face to face confrontation. He says he has security at ringside to protect the integrity of the situation.

Kurt brings out Brock Lesnar first and he is joined by Paul Heyman.

Paul Heyman introduces himself and he mentions he is the advocate for the defending and reigning WWE Universal Champion. Paul says let’s shoot from the hip. To squeeze one last rating and one last historic moment out of his client, WWE along with its General Manager Kurt Angle has conspired this evening to have a face to face to face to Champion’s face… prison fight. If you put this beast in the same ring at the same time as the last man standing Braun Strowman, the samoan rip off Samoa Joe, and the Big Dog Roman Reigns, you can have all of the security you want and add 10,000 more because all hell is going to break loose.

Paul says his client’s bad mood is justified. He says that his father told him you aren’t paranoid if you think the world is against you. On Sunday, the unbeatable champion faces not one, not two, but three top challengers. WHEN, not if, they get Brock out of the equation, there will be a new champion. Any one of them can eek out a win and walk out as champion. As a fan, that sucks. On the night that Brock Lesnar loses the Universal Champion it will be because someone was able to tame the beast. You will be able to point to that guy and say that is the baddest guy on the planet. That sure as hell won’t be Samoa Joe. Three hundred pounds and desperate to steal the Universal title to take back to his tribe and show his warrior spirit.

It won’t be Braun Strowman. He has all of the tools to be champion. He is a monster among men, but in the horror story that will be Sunday… beast slays monster.

Then there is Roman Reigns. The man that retired the Undertaker. Roman says this is his yard. Paul tells Roman that your yard as long as this is the Universal Champion, your yard is in Brock Lesnar’s house and rent is due at SummerSlam.

Paul says he does not make predictions, he gives spoilers. One of two things happens on Sunday. One, the conspiracy is successful and they rip the title off Brock Lesnar. Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar leave WWE. If that is the case, you might as well lock this beast up in a cage… hint, hint. Then there is scenario number two. Brock Lesnar beats Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe, or Roman Reigns. Brock proves to the entire world, he has been flapping his gums for fifteen years underselling the greatness of this man.

Samoa Joe comes to the ring and he pushes one of the security detail at ringside.

Joe says that he told Brock from day one that he does not fear him. Joe says at SummerSlam, when he comes for that championship, he is going to rip it from Brock’s hands after he puts him to sleep in the middle of the ring.

Braun Strowman comes to the ring next.

He says in case you didn’t know, he was always the last man standing, ask Roman Reigns.

Joe says last week had nothing to do with you. Last week, Roman was stomping you around the building until he arrived. You are no last man standing. You are a man who barely stood up while he put Roman down.

RThe music interrupts again and out comes Reigns to a mixed reaction.

Reigns marches to the ring and immediately spears Joe. Braun comes from behind and scoops Reigns for a big powerslam. Braun kicks Reigns under the bottom rope to the floor. Braun slowly turns around and stares at Lesnar. They look to go at it but security rushes the ring and separates them in opposite corners. Lesnar breaks free but he’s pulled right back to the corner. Braun gets free but they pull him back as well. Lesnar kicks a security guard away and tangles with the others. Lesnar and Braun start taking out security now. Angle looks concerned. Braun and Lesnar face off with no security now. The RAW locker room runs down and separates them as they start going at it again. Braun and Lesnar yell at each other while Superstars hold them back. Reigns and Joe are still out of the ring. Lesnar breaks free and leaps onto Braun and a bunch of Superstars. The brawl continues but they’re quickly pulled apart again. The final RAW before SummerSlam goes off the air with the locker room holding Lesnar and Braun back from each other.
