Brock Lesnar & Samoa Joe In-Ring Segment: 

Paul Heyman is here to unleash the beast. It’s Samoa Joe’s day of reckoning at the hands of the Undisputed Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. How does this story go? Last week, Heyman showed Samoa Joe the proper respect he thought Joe deserved. He asked for permission to enter Samoa Joe’s ring. Like a shark luring the chum into his ring, Joe took him in and took him out. If that was a legitimate beef, he had that coming, but that was not the case. Joe kicked down the front door of the lair of the beast. Joe put his hands on Brock’s guy. Now, Brock Lesnar has a problem. That problem is with Samoa Joe and it will be solved by the greatest problem solver in WWE history, Brock Lesnar.

Heyman remains steadfast on the fact that Samoa Joe was the worst case scenario for his client. He’s still looking for a real man to put up a fight against Brock Lesnar and be a worthy competitor. How many Samoans have been in this business? Think of all of those accomplishments. They are all related and proud of each other’s accomplishments except for one, Samoa Joe. The one Samoan no one wants to be around.

Heyman calls Joe a mutt whose greatest accomplishment is putting the Coquina Clutch on Paul Heyman. It was like Joe said it would be. He saw a white light and the next thing he knew was that he woke up. What if Joe puts that choke on Brock Lesnar? What happens to the title? Joe will never get that hold on Brock Lesnar because he’s not man enough to apply that hold. Samoa Joe comes out to interrupt Heyman. Joe goes into the ring and headbutts Lesnar. The brawl is on and both men are separated by the entire Raw locker room.

Bray Wyatt & Seth Rollins In-Ring Promo: 

Humanity is guilty for mistaking intelligence for ignorance. The world is ending and collapsing under the weight of its own sin. Bray knows that he’s the only one who can save you. Bray is here. Those who deny Bray Wyatt will be judged. Those people who sit in pathetic apathy will suffer their guilt. Bray will punish those who use blasphemous rhetoric towards his good name. Just like Seth Rollins, Bray has it all figured out. He has all the answers. Rollins lives in a glass house with the blueprints of the architect blocking out the sun. It only took one dose of his truth to bring that house down. Rollins will be picking out shards of glass from his soul for eternity due to his transgression. Due to Rollins ignorance and dependence on humanity will set the way that you will live by.

If you take Bray’s name in vain, you will fall. Seth Rollins comes out to interrupt Bray Wyatt. Rollins wants to clarify something so they are on the same page. Bray cost him his match last week because he called Bray a couple of names? He can get under Bray’s skin for that? What Rollins said last week wasn’t blasphemy, it was the truth. By calling him out, it forces Bray into the light. Bray prefers to hide in the shadows and attack when necessary. That makes Bray Wyatt a coward. Rollins dares Bray to prove him wrong. Rollins pride will betray him. His arrogance is all over the place. When Rollins look at his reflection in the mirror, he sees the man. When Bray looks at Rollins, he sees a man who’s beneath him. Rollins doesn’t want this fight because his power is more than he can fathom. Rollins found the will to slay a king. The lights go out on the Cajundome and Bray appears on the titantron.
