In-Ring: Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman

WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring alongside his advocate, Paul Heyman. A replay is shown of Lesnar cashing in Money in the Bank on Seth Rollins on last night’s Extreme Rules event.

The crowd is booing them in the ring. Heyman says they should boo themselves. Heyman says he told them so. Heyman said that Lesnar would need an opponent lined up at SummerSlam because there was no way Seth Rollins would make it. No one in the back listened to him. Heyman says he has all the stroke around here right now, so he decided how they’ll determine who will be Lesnar’s challenger at SummerSlam. His client is not the easiest conquerer to negotiate with. Ask UFC or Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Lesnar fights and does what he wants when he wants.

To display his genius, Heyman has come up with a plan. We’ll have a Cross-Branded Top 10 All-Star Battle Royal gets to make history by being beaten, victimized, and brutalized by Lesnar at SummerSlam. Competing in the battle royal is Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Big E, Cesaro, Braun Strowman, Rey Mysterio, Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Bobby Lashley, and Roman Reigns. Heyman says those are your Top 10 superstars in the battle royal.

Heyman tells Reigns to check with Rollins to see if he can win the battle royal. Last night, Rollins came in like he was Becky Lynch’s stud. When Lesnar was done with him, he was a gelding. If you don’t know what that is, google it. When you’re in the ring with Lesnar, you risk your health, welfare, manhood. This is not a prediction. It’s a spoiler. If any of the people had the chance to be in the ring, they’d all be Brock’s bitches. They walk off.

Ricochet makes his entrance. He’ll be in action next. Ricochet runs by Lesnar as Lesnar stares him down.
