LAST WEEK ON RAW: Big Show once again interrupted a performance by Elias!
MIDDLE CARD PROMO
Elias stands in the center of the ring, spotlight shining on him, ready to grace the WWE Universe with another one of his signature performances. Elias, with his guitar in hand, smirks at the audience, confident in the success of his musical endeavor.
Elias begins to strum his guitar. The lyrics of Elias's song are filled with insults aimed at The Big Show, mocking his size, past defeats, as well as his tendency to interrupt Elias in the past. Big Show marches down the ramp with a determined look on his face.
BIG SHOW: "You just can't resist taking your shots, can you?"
ELIAS: "Well, interrupting my performances has become a tradition for you. I figured I'd save you the trouble and invite you to the show this time."
BIG SHOW: "You know, Elias, I might not have the voice of an angel, but I do know a thing or two about making an entrance. So, how about we give the WWE Universe a real show?"
Big Show signals to the backstage area, and a crew member brings out a massive keyboard. The crowd cheers in anticipation as Big Show takes a seat and starts playing a comically oversized piano, adding a humorous twist to the segment.
Elias, with frustration, watches as Big Show begins to sing his own version of his own entrance theme, roasting Elias in return. The WWE Universe is treated to an unexpected musical showdown between the big man and the cunning rule breaker.
🎵 Well, it's Elias, with a guitar in his hand,
Thinks he's a rockstar, but I just don't understand.
He strums those strings, but they're all out of tune,
I'm the Big Show, and I'll punch him to the moon.
Elias gives his review of the performance by dropping Big Show with a vicious low blow kick that sets off a brawl that Elias gets the Better of!

Roman Reigns wants to know why Brock Lesnar refuses to meet with him face-to-face after challenging “The Big Dog” to a match at SummerSlam and considers that “The Beast” may be having second thoughts.
Constable Baron Corbin appears with a message from Brock Lesnar's advocate stating that Brock will go through with the match as long as Reigns fulfills a condition of competing in a series of handicap matches to make sure that Roman is strong enough to face “The Beast” as well as in the proper shape physically and mentally.
The no-nonsense RAW GM Kurt Angle then announces that there will be no such series of handicap matches. Roman Reigns WILL face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam and Baron Corbin will take on Roman Reigns right here tonight!
The constable attempts to blindside Roman Reigns with a cheap shot but “The Big Dog” lands a strike of his own which sparks a fight that Roman gets the better of!

Even though Heyman still considers Lesnar his friend, this rift caused by Lesnar's rage has put into jeopardy Heyman's dream of riding into the sunset at Lesnar's side with the Universal and UFC Heavyweight Championships. As for SummerSlam: He's never seen Brock so motivated, Roman “doesn’t stand a chance”.
