TWO WEEKS AGO ON RAW: Roman Reigns was well on his way to defeating the WWE Universal Champion Samoa Joe in a non-title match to make the Universal Championship match between Samoa Joe and former champ Brock Lesnar into a Triple Threat Match. However, “The Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman arrived on the scene to ruin those plans by laying waste to Roman Reigns.

LAST WEEK ON RAW: Braun Strowman's attack on Reigns seemed to have backfired when RAW General Manager Kurt Angle pointed out that Braun's actions caused a disqualification victory for Roman Reigns. The stipulation was that Roman would be entered into the Universal Championship match at SummerSlam, making it a Triple Threat, should Roman win and thanks to Strowman, that's exactly what took place.

IN THREE WEEKS AT SUMMERSLAM: “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe defends the WWE Universal Championship against former Universal Champion “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar and “The Big Dog” Roman Reigns in a Triple Threat Match!

IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA: Braun Strowman is wreaking havoc and shouting that he left the Universal Champion Samoa Joe AND Roman Reigns laying last week and that proved that neither man is capable enough to hold or challenge the Universal Championship.

ANNOUNCEMENT: RAW GM Kurt Angle tries to quell the chaos backstage by considering Braun Strowman's statements. As a result of the visual of “The Monster Among Men” standing tall over the Universal Champion Samoa Joe and his challenger Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman will be added to the Universal Championship match at SummerSlam, thus making it a Fatal 4-Way!

SHOW OPENER PROMO

Former champ Brock Lesnar takes issue with people being added left and right to HIS title match at SummerSlam and points out that while Strowman may have left Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns laying last week, no one laid a finger on “The Beast”!

PROMO BATTLE WINNER: Braun Strowman

LAST WEEK ON RAW: Goldust, the keeper of golden gates, picked up a big victory against Finn Bálor, further proving his worth to The Miz.

THREE WEEKS AGO ON RAW: The Big Show took issue with Big Cass backing out of a match with Enzo Amore because Cass felt like he was above it.

LAST WEEK ON RAW: Enzo Amore once again promised never to stop until he got Big Cass one on one. Things would end with Cass finally giving in and attacking Enzo, prompting a brawl that left Enzo laying.

NEXT: It's Big Cass versus Enzo Amore! The match originally scheduled for WWE Great Balls of Fire.

INTERVIEW: Big Cass says that n just a few moments he finally gives Enzo Amore the beating that he's been begging for.

MATCH #2

Big Cass vs Enzo Amore

Post-Match: Before Big Cass can put the boots to his former tag team partner, Big Show runs out (stepping right over Enzo in a bit of unintentional comedy) to fight Big Cass!

IN THE OFFICE OF THE RAW GM: Emma says it's all about her, but she's been on the sidelines for far too long while others get opportunities she deserves. Maybe Kurt would give her more opportunities if she dates his son. So, Angle gave Emma a chance to remind the WWE Universe of her talents by putting her in a match with Nia Jax.

MATCH #3

Normal Match

Nia Jax vs Emma

WINNER: Nia Jax

Method: Pinfall

Finish: Samoan Drop

LAST WEEK ON RAW: After defeating Noam Dar in a rematch, Akira Tozawa was attacked by the current #1 contender for the WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Neville!

MIDDLE CARD PROMO

Akira Tozawa calls out Neville who explains that Tozawa was simply the wrong person at the wrong time. First WWE management made sure that Neville lost the Universal Championship to Brock Lesnar for good before shipping him off to 205 Live and now they're making sure he's barely even on TV. So that's where Tozawa made himself useful by being an opportune target for “The King of the Cruiserweights” to send a message!

Akira Tozawa vs Neville

PROMO BATTLE WINNER: Neville

LAST WEEK ON RAW: The WWE RAW Women's Champion Paige and Mickie James defeated the team of Bayley (the #1 contender for the RAW Women's Championship) and Sasha Banks when Mickie pinned Bayley after a Mickie-DT. Bayley's #1 contendership status is now in question.

NEXT: Can Bayley hold on to her #1 contender's status and challenge Paige for the RAW Women's Championship at SummerSlam or will Mickie James receive that right?
