WWE RAW REPORT: A NEW ERA FROM MSG, DEVELOPMENTS FOR SUMMERSLAM, 20 YEARS OF REY, AND MORE

Your announcers are Jimmy Smith, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves.

We see Miz and Logan Paul fighting in the ring and Paul with a double leg take down.  Paul with punches and officials come out to try to separate Miz and Paul but that does not work.  Miz gets out of the ring and Paul is held back by many officials in the ring.

Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring and he is joined by the Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Usos, and Paul Heyman.

Roman is handed a microphone by Paul.  Roman tells Madison Square Garden to acknowledge him.   Roman tells Paul he doesn't want to do any talking any more.

Paul welcomes everyone to the Island of Relevancy.  There is a problem with the mic and Paul says there must be a sound guy from New Jersey.  Paul says he is the next one out the door.  This honor has been bestowed on him by his tribal chief.  We are approaching 700 days of Roman's title reign.  Paul says this plays into the hands of the challenger for the Undisputed title because he likes to piss on everyone's parade.  Paul says he is talking about Brock Lesnar.  

Who ruined the Undertaker's party at Wrestlemania . . . Brock Lesnar.  Who took John Cena to suplex city?  Brock Lesnar.  Now, Brock is going to ruin the party for Roman Reigns.  This is why Roman takes this so seriously.  He is sick of having Brock's legacy tied to Roman.  When you think of Roman Reigns, you will never have to think of Brock Lesnar again.  The Suplexicist is going to remove the demons from Brock.  We are sick of Brock riding on the coattails of Roman.  It is time for him to go back to slaughter some hogs.  

Anything Roman has to do to keep Brock down for the count of ten, Roman Reigns will finally rid himself of Brock Lesnar.  That is why Roman has nothing to say tonight.  Roman cannot stand the sound of the name Brock Lesnar.  After this Saturday night, Brock, you won't be able to stand at all.

Theory makes his way to the ring.

He says what is so funny to him is that the Bloodline talks a lot but they forgot the most important detail of SummerSlam.  I am going to take back my United States Title and I will walk to the ring, cash in my contract, and I will become the new Undisputed WWE Champion.

Roman asks Theory if he is going to stop there.  If you are going to come into my arena, step in my ring and acknowledge your tribal chief.

Theory gets on the apron and he enters the ring.  

Roman tells Jimmy and Jey that Theory is a little nervous.  Roman says we like him.  Paul says he is alright.  Roman says he can appreciate what you are doing, but you have no idea what to do with the briefcase.  You need a wise man to counsel you.  Roman says he will do it for him tonight.  He tells Theory to look around and says that his daddy isn't here any more.  This is my ring.  Roman says if Theory keeps messing up, the tribal chief will be his daddy.  Roman says he runs the Garden now.

Roman leaves the ring and Jey hits Theory in the back of the head and Theory hits Jey with the briefcase a few times.
