The show opens with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar making their way to the ring. Hopefully, this sets up his next title defense. The Beast comes out with a big smile on his face.
Heyman decides to introduce himself to the WWE Universe for the 10,000th time. He says it's his honor to let everyone know his client retained his title at SummerSlam. Heyman claims his conspiracy theory about WWE trying to screw Lesnar out of the title came true last night.
Heyman says Lesnar is too tough for anyone to defeat him and he refused medical attention before returning to the ring to conquer or be conquered. He makes a point to mention how Brock pinned Roman Reigns last night, which is something few people have been able to do clean. Heyman says nobody in WWE or UFC history can match up to his client.
Strowman and Lesnar have a staredown before The Monster Among Men grabs him by the throat. Lesnar breaks free, but he gets levelled by a kick to the face. Braun picks him up and hits two powerslams before holding up the universal title triumphantly. He drops the belt next to Brock before leaving.
