SHOW OPENER PROMO

An angry Samoa Joe wants another shot at Brock Lesnar and doesn't care about cutting the line. If anyone has a problem, “The Samoan Submission Machine” can make an example out of them. One man who has a problem is the “Extraordinary man that can do extraordinary things” Finn Bálor. These two old rivals have a stare down before the new RAW GM Kurt Angle makes Joe vs Finn for tonight's main event. Joe suddenly headbutts B Bálor, prompting a brawl that Joe gets the better of.
