Roman Reigns kicks off Raw with a big announcement
Reigns announces that he’ll face the winner of Lesnar vs. Joe at SummerSlam. Why? Because he runs this ring and he makes the rules. Reigns doesn’t fear anyone. He’s performed in three-straight WrestleMania main events, most recently retiring The Undertaker. He doesn’t care if he has to face Lesnar or Joe.
Samoa Joe doesn’t like Reigns running his mouth. He reintroduces himself as Samoa Joe, a guy that Roman never beat. Reigns says that no matter what he’ll always be just Joe.

Kurt Angle brings out our usual suspects
Raw General Manager Kurt Angle comes down to the ring to interrogate The Big Show an The Revival. Enzo and Big Cass are also in the ring. Big Show is offended for Angle’s accusations. Show says that he doesn’t attack people from behind, if he wants to fight someone than it’s in their face. Show threatens Big Cass and leaves the ring. Maybe he’ll leave Monday Night Raw for good.
Cass trash-talks Big Show as he leaves. Angle then narrows his gaze towards The Revival. Scott Dawson interrupts Angle’s rant. Dawson has an alibi. Kurt says he received backstage evidence that supports Dawson’s alibi.
Raw color commentator Corey Graves stands up at his announcer’s booth. He has evidence of his own. He shows backstage footage that proves that Big Cass didn’t get attacked last week. Big Cass laid down himself and made everything up. The Cass is out of the bag, folks!
Big Cass admits being the architect of this reoccurring ruse. Cass has been planning this for a while. He’s fed up with Enzo’s sh*t. He felt sorry for him before because nobody backstage even likes him. But now, he has to cut off the dead weight of Enzo because he’s holding the big man back. Cass tells Enzo, “We’re through!”
Cass levels Enzo with a big boot. The tag team of Enzo & Cass is in the history books.
