Braun at Great Balls of Fire, “The Reaper of Souls” Bray Wyatt!

SHOW
OPENER PROMO
The
Big Show calls out Big Cass and confronts him about how he ditched
his match against Enzo Amore last night at Great Balls of Fire
because he though that he was above Enzo. Big Show tells Cass that
Enzo was the one to come out of last night's PPV as the bigger man.
Despite his size, Enzo was ready to take on Big Cass like a man. The
arrogant and stoic Cass sizes up The Big Show and tells him that Show
may be a giant over seven feet tall but Big Cass is above him too.
Big Cass sucker punches Big Show, prompting a brawl in which Cass
gets the better of.

Roman
Reigns has returned to RAW and calls out the NEW WWE Universal
Champion Samoa Joe! “The Samoan Submission Machine” tells Roman
that he's all booked up because RAW General Manager Kurt Angle is
planning on a Universal Championship rematch at SummerSlam between
Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar.
Roman
says that he met with Kurt earlier and although Brock is penciled in
next for a championship rematch, Kurt still liked the idea of Reigns
and Joe going one on one. So next week on RAW, the new Universal
Champ Samoa Joe will go one on one with Roman Reigns in a non-title
match!

IN
THE LOCKER ROOM AREA:
Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali are glad that their championship
rivalry hasn't driven a wedge between them because tonight they take
on Neville and Noam Dar. Neville is as dangerously obsessed as ever
with taking the Cruiserweight Title and Alicia Fox is just as
dangerously obsessed with getting back at Cedric for their breakup.
Gran
Metalik steps in and offers to be in Cedric and Ali's corner tonight
to even things up for them, especially since he just defeated Noam
Dar last week on 205 Live.
