- We go to the ring and RAW General Manager Kurt Angle is out with a bunch of security, who are on the outside of the ring. Angle starts talking about tonight's "Face to Face to Face to Face" before introducing WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar first. Lesnar marches out with Paul Heyman, who does the grand introduction for his client. Heyman says WWE and their RAW GM have conspired to hold this segment tonight to try and get one more rating out of The Beast before SummerSlam. Heyman says the Fatal 4 Way on Sunday is a prison fight. Heyman isn't worried about the security at ringside. He says Lesnar's bad mood is justified. He says WWE is conspiring against Lesnar because Lesnar has decided to listen to other things outside of WWE, a reference to his potential UFC return it appears. Heyman talks about how Lesnar can lose the title without getting pinned on Sunday and says he's a fan, and as a fan - that sucks. Heyman goes on and mentions each of Lesnar's opponents, and gives them props but puts over Lesnar above them.

Heyman goes on and says he never makes predictions, he just delivers spoilers. One of two things happen on Sunday - the conspiracy is successful and WWE rips the title off Lesnar, Lesnar and Heyman leave WWE. And if that is the case, Heyman assures us that we might as well lock The Beast up in a cage. Hint, hint. Then there's scenario 2 - Lesnar wins the match and proves to the entire world what Heyman has known the whole time, that 15 years of him flapping his gums has just been underselling Lesnar's greatness. Heyman says that's his case for us to subscribe to the WWE Network and watch SummerSlam on Sunday. The music hits next and out comes Samoa Joe.

Joe hits the ring and takes a mic, reminding Lesnar that he doesn't fear him. Lesnar smirks. Joe says he's coming for the title at SummerSlam but he's coming to rip it out of Heyman's hands after he puts Lesnar to sleep. The music interrupts and out comes Braun Strowman now. Braun declares that he's always the last man standing, in case we didn't know. Braun says to ask Roman Reigns. Joe refreshes Braun's memory and reminds him how he won last week's match. Joe says Braun is barely a man that stood up while Joe put Reigns down, not a last man standing. The music interrupts again and out comes Reigns to a mixed reaction.

Reigns marches to the ring and immediately spears Joe. Braun comes from behind and scoops Reigns for a big powerslam. Braun kicks Reigns under the bottom rope to the floor. Braun slowly turns around and stares at Lesnar. They look to go at it but security rushes the ring and separates them in opposite corners. Lesnar breaks free but he's pulled right back to the corner. Braun gets free but they pull him back as well. Lesnar kicks a security guard away and tangles with the others. Lesnar and Braun start taking out security now. Angle looks concerned. Braun and Lesnar face off with no security now. The RAW locker room runs down and separates them as they start going at it again. Braun and Lesnar yell at each other while Superstars hold them back. Reigns and Joe are still out of the ring. Lesnar breaks free and leaps onto Braun and a bunch of Superstars. The brawl continues but they're quickly pulled apart again. The final RAW before SummerSlam goes off the air with the locker room holding Lesnar and Braun back from each other.

Tozawa with the win out of nowhere. As good as Neville was it gets a bit tedious when your heel champ is the only real draw in the division. Tozawa winning gives the Cruiserweights a shot in the arm it was needing.

Peaks and troughs but overall it was a decent enough RAW. Good enough for a go home show.

The Revival injury has clearly left the Hardys with nothing to do

Was it really out of nowhere? They've been building up Tozawa & TitusWorldWide for weeks now

What next for Neville? he is far too good for the CW Division in my opinion, I wonder if a move to SD could allow him to have another crack at the main roster
