RAW

Raw opens with the entire locker room on the stage to pay tribute to Bruno Sammartino. After the bell rings 10 times, WWE plays a video package for the legend.

Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring.
Heyman begins his promo after the break. He brags about Lesnar's victory at WrestleMania over Roman Reigns.

Heyman says Lesnar is so desperate for a UFC fight he is willing to be locked in a cage with Reigns in Saudi Arabia at the Greatest Royal Rumble. . Once Heyman is done doing his thing, Reigns' music hits and he comes to the ring.

Reigns and Lesnar just stare at each other for a moment. Lesnar taunts Reigns with the title. The Big Dog says he is coming home with the universal title and drops the mic. Surprisingly, the segment ends with no physical contact

Sami and Kevin Show w/ Kurt Angle as the guest.
KO and Zayn say they will win the Greatest Royal Rumble match together before singing a new version of Kurt Angle's entrance music. They bring out the Raw GM.
Owens gives Angle a lawn chair to sit in. Owens says they got off on the wrong foot last week, but they don't seem to care about getting on Angle's good side. Angle mocks how Rousey hurt Stephanie's arm and Zayn brings up Jason Jordan. It looks like Angle is having a hard time not laughing at their jokes. Kurt says he is going to be in the GRR with both of them, along with Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho and the three of them will make sure they don't win.
Angle books Zayn and Owens to face Lashely and Strowman in a tag team match later tonight.
