Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns In-Ring Segment: 

This private matter with Jason Jordan has affected Kurt Angle’s ability to act as Raw General Manager. Angle talks about the newest member of the Raw Roster, Jason Jordan. He was terrified at first, but when he saw Jordan make his way down the aisle, he knew he made the right decision. He’s had the opportunity to go down memory lane with son. Angle announces that Jason Jordan will be making his RAW In-Ring Debut. Angle gave Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns the opportunity to see who would face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, but all hell broke loose.
