Roman Calls out Brock Lesnar

The show starts with a replay of the main event of Crown Jewel where Roman Reigns managed to retain the Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar. Roman comes out with Paul Heyman. As he wraps up his entrance, Roman asks Heyman whether he is holding the title for him or someone else. They practice Paul handing the title to Roman.

Roman says Heyman is not great at his job, but he is. Roman says he has carried the product on his back for more than a year. He is the Greatest Universal Championship because he smashed everyone starting from Edge, Bryan, Cena, Balor and recently Lesnar. Roman brings up the tweet from Brock and asks Heyman what has Brock said. Heyman reads from his phone that he will beat Roman senseless.

Roman laughs and tells Lesnar that he is here. He asks the crowd whether they want to see Lesnar. The crowd cheers. Roman asks them to acknowledge him for Lesnar to come out. No one comes out. Roman says he will not leave the ring until Lesnar comes out. We cut to a break with Roman still in the ring.

We return from the break and Roman is saying that he does not blame Lesnar for not appearing because he is the greatest of all time. Roman adds that he comes to SmackDown for his obligations, but others don’t. Roman keeps running his mouth until Lesnar’s music hits and he comes out to the stage.

Brock comes into the ring and ducks a title shot from Roman. Lesnar hits a clothesline and throws Roman to the floor. He smashes Roman’s face to the announce table.

Lesnar picks up the Universal Championship belt and raises it in the air.

Sonya Deville is backstage on call as she is trying to deal with what just happened. She tells Kayla Braxton to go away. But she turns around to Naomi, who asks for her to face her tonight. Deville tells her she is busy handling more important things and she should get away. Sonya turns to Drew McIntyre behind her. Drew tells her that he is going out there and calling out an open challenge.

Drew makes his entrance and takes the mic. He says enough of BS and its time to see a match. He does not care whether it is a Viking or a Maharaja, anyone could come out and get their back handed to them. Sami Zayn’s music hits and asks how he forgot to mention the master strategist. Sami says he is the best superstar on SmackDown and will remain the best after their match.
