WWE RAW REPORT: LASHLEY HAS HIS FIRST TITLE DEFENSE, SHANE SPEAKS IN TONGUES, RANDY HAS SOMETHING BLACK ON HIS TONGUE, WOMEN'S TAG TITLE MATCH, AND MORE

We are back and before Shane McMahon can say what he wants to say to Braun Strowman, he dances around the ring.

Braun Strowman makes his way to the ring.

Shane has to change mics and he goes to the floor and wants to test it out.  He says he should get what's on his chest off and he should be talking to Braun now.  He wants to say it face to face.  I can see you have been out here and talk about the events that have transpired.  Shane says he has been doing some self-introspection.  Did I have fun last week?  Of course I did.  I like to have fun and I do like to have fun at other's expense as long as it benefits me.  There are others who think like that.  I know you are not one of them.

Shane tells Braun that he doesn't know if he can talk to him about this.

Braun wants to know why are we out here.

Shane says he wants to get stuff done and talk to Braun.  Shane says there is one thing he needs to get done.  He needs to come to an understanding with Braun.  Shane says he would never ever ever ever come out here and make Braun look stupid.  He says stupid is an abhorrent word and a terrible word.  Shane says by Braun's non-verbal cues he can see that Braun is upset with him.  He says he would never call Braun 'stupid'.  

There are a few sayings that Braun may have heard.  Shane says Braun may have heard people call Braun stupid and it lives up to the big man little brain stereotype.  Shane says he would never directly call Braun stupid.

Shane runs to the back and Braun follows.

We see a vehicle drive out of the building.  Braun walks away and we see Shane in the hallway waving at Braun and he calls Braun 'so stupid'.
