Opening

Roman Reigns came out, said he respected Bobby Lashley but not Lesnar. Heyman interrupted him and said that Lesnar would beat Roman again at Summerslam and then win the UFC belt and become the first two sport pro wrestling and UFC champion. He announced Lesnar would only come out when he was ready.

Finn Balor vs Baron Corbin

Corbin won by pin fall

Backstage

Kurt Angle told Heyman Lesnar has to come out, but Heyman said Lesnar fulfilled his contractual obligation by entering the building. Angle told Heyman if Lesnar didn't show up tonight, Heyman was fired.


Natalya vs Alicia Fox


Fox won by pin fall

Backstage

Heyman tried to convince Lesnar to go out to the arena but Lesnar kept refusing and told Heyman to make himself useful and go get him a steak.

Braun Strowman vs Jinder Mahal

Mahal won by count out when Kevin Owens distracted Strowman

Apollo Crews vs Akam

Apollo won by pin fall


Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre


Rollins won by DQ

Backstage

Stephanie McMahon told Angle to remove Reigns from the building so he is not there when Lesnar came out. Baron Corbin was back there too. They eventually have Reigns removed by police officers and Reigns punched Corbin while leaving.


The Revival vs Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy

Revival won by pin fall

The Riott Squad vs Sasha Banks and Bayley

Banks and Bayley won by pin fall

Closing

Heyman begged Lesnar to go out to the arena because they were friends. Lesnar grabbed Heyman and told him they were not friends, that Heyman worked for him. He called Heyman a leech and told him to go out and do his job.

Angle and Corbin are in the ring. Heyman came out and agreed with Angle that Brock is the worst Universal Champion ever. He begged to keep his job and Angle told him his contract was terminated. Lesnar then came out and Heyman looked happy. Lesnar gave Heyman the title and asked both Angle and Corbin if they had some sort of problem with him. Lesnar F-5ed Angle while Corbin ran off.

Heyman and Lesnar looked at Angle and laughed. Lesnar then grabbed Heyman by the throat. He forced Heyman to the mat before leaving with his belt.

"We want Roman" chants in the final segment
And I bet you & Vince are the only people excited by that...
& Look at that...it only took them 4 YEARS to get that
chant going.

Shame the crowd is going to $hit all over the match at
Summerslam anyway...so don't get your hopes up too
much.

Seriously...Roman Reigns is a blight on professional wrestling
& the sooner he retires the better for everyone.

You mean the same plan/story that they tried
feeding to the fans going into Wrestlemania?

Yeah...that worked out perfectly didn't it?

I seem to remember people telling me that
the beach balls & CM Punk were more over
than the Wrestlemania main event...I don't
know myself because I didn't watch it.

And its a pathetic way to get someone over
in the first place...

And even if the crowd does cheer for Reigns
at Summerslam...they'll just go back to booing
him the next night on RAW anyway.

Dude...Wake up & Smell the coffee...

The crowd was fatigued at Mania. Roman is gonna get a huge pop when he beats Brock. WWE stock is gonna rise. Network and YouTune subscribers are gonna soar. His merch is gonna fly off shelves. Reigns is a true champion. A company man that shows up to work every night to entertain the fans and haters. Hes a great husband and father and is out here grinding to give his family the life that they deserve. Its time we all respect and appreciate the hard work that this man puts forth BELIEVE THAT!

just remember these words

"We want Roman"

"We want Roman"

If this show was two hours, then it would be an 8/10

I don't know why I bother...

Time to tie yourself to the bed and come down
from whatever drugs you're on mate.

This crowd loved Roman.
Are you sure the WWE haven't just started
playing prerecorded cheers & chants over
the arena's PA system?

I wouldn't put it past them at this point...

They've tried just about everything else
to get the boring Plank of Wood over.

How are people still rating this stupid show more than a 2? I'll never understand...

People's standards of wrestling have gone WAY down, that's the only way I can make sense of it.

Nah I think he was very much over in this week's venue.

Why didn't Braun cash in on Brock? Brian is a fucking pussy. Owens should of stole the breifcase. Really bad writing.

Everybody has different ways of rating stuff out of 10. A 2/10 would have to be someone actually shitting in the ring and wiping it everywhere. 2 out if 10 is worse then bad. This show wasn't worse then bad for me.

They best friends again for the time being and even came out last night to matching gear. Nevertheless, it is quite obvious WWE are setting up the big Sasha turn on Bailey, which could come as soon as Summerslam....


Elsewhere, pretty mediocre show with some moronic booking decisions but, hey, what else is new?
