In-Ring: Big Cass and Big Show

Big Cass enters the ring, and the crowd loudly boos him. Big Cass waits a moment before asking, “How you doin’?” Cass says he’s doing spectacular today after what he did to Enzo last night. Cass has some still photos shown of him beating down Enzo last night in their match. It ended with him standing over Enzo, but the best part wasn’t seen on PPV. It happened after Enzo got to the back. A WWE.com exclusive video is shown of Enzo being helped to the trainer’s room. A loud “asshole” chant fires up. Cass says that should serve as notice to everyone in the RAW locker room from the bottom of the totem pole to the top, and he means the very top. That’s what happens when you mess with Big Cass. To all the people that never supported him and only chanted for Enzo, they can’t support him now. They know what he’s capable of because he’s the future of WWE. To all the doubters back there from NXT to those behind the curtain, one day he will be the Universal Champion. The crowd loudly boos that. When he wins it, he’ll hold it high and shove it down their throats. He will be the champion, main event WrestleMania, be on the Tonight Show, and have his face on posters representing WWE to the fullest. Nobody can touch him or is on his level. No one can look him eye to eye.

Big Show’s music hits, and he comes out to a nice reception. Big Show and Big Cass stand in the middle of the ring staring at each other. Cass steps up to him, so Big Show head-butts him back.

Finally, Cass escapes the ring and retreats up the ramp.

Samson needs Houston to keep their cell phones down and hold their applause until after he is finished. This song is for Finn Bálor. Bálor isn’t a savior — he’s just a man.

Anderson and Gallows interrupt them. Luke Gallows says other tag teams didn’t say they were done — it was them. They seem proud of their performance last night, but they’re not The Hardy Boyz of old. They’re just old Hardy Boyz. Gallows calls them nerds. They can practice magic somewhere else because they’re magic killers. Matt says neither of them are 100%. They’re stitched up, bruised, and somewhat BROKEN, but if they think the ring belongs to them, they can determine that in a match.

Behind every great man is a beautiful, gorgeous, sexy woman. The next Mizzie for Best Actress is Maryse. Maryse fakes emotion as she accepts the award. She says she wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this without him. The Miz proclaims his love for her, and they embrace. Now it’s time for the moment everyone has been waiting for — The final Mizzie Award. Miz opens the envelope and reads, “Dean Ambrose.” Miz then says he was just kidding. He’s the greatest man and the winner. Miz says he made the belt prestigious again. When everyone else speaks, like Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins, it’s just noise. When Miz speaks, what he says will happen happens. Dean Ambrose is the toughest man in WWE. If he’s the toughest man in WWE and Miz beat him, what does that make him?

In-Ring: Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Samoa Joe

Kurt Angle’s music hits, and he comes out to the ring while the crowd chants, “You suck.” Great Balls of Fire was a hugely successful event. Things did get a little out of hand, particularly with the Ambulance Match. Braun Strowman refused medical treatment. Angle isn’t sure when he’ll return. The show must go on. Angle then introduces the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar to the ring.

Brock Lesnar comes out to a nice reception with his advocate, Paul Heyman. Still photos are shown from the titanic clash between Lesnar and Samoa Joe last night.

Reigns did Angle a favor, so he can do him one: Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. Heyman says he likes that, but Lesnar grabs the microphone out of his hand. Lesnar asks if he’s kidding because he doesn’t deserve shit. This is as close as he’ll get to the title. Lesnar says, “You don’t deserve it, my man.”

Samoa Joe’s music hits, and he comes out to the ring. Joe says we’re all living in a wonderful fantasy land. Joe says it’s time for him to drag everyone back to reality.

If Lesnar is really honest with himself, he didn’t beat him: Lesnar escaped him. As for Reigns, he’s never beat him. Heyman says in his opinion, Reigns beating The Undertaker is a title opportunity. The excommunicated Samoan will never get a shot again. Joe is done. Joe says that’s Lesnar’s advocate. Lesnar wildly gets in his face. Joe says Heyman is protecting him.
