Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose vs Brock Lesnar in Triple threat match.
A few of the biggest names in WWE looked strong in their final appearances before SummerSlam 2016 on Sunday. Both Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns stood tall on the go-home edition of “Monday Night Raw.”
Lesnar didn’t face off with Randy Orton, whom he’ll be facing at SummerSlam, but was drafted to “SmackDown.” Instead, the former UFC champion had a confrontation with Heath Slater, who wasn’t drafted by either show. Their encounter included two supplexes and an F5, with Lesnar kicking Slater out of the ring before Paul Heyman finished telling the audience that his client would defeat Orton.
In some ways, the match between Lesnar and Orton is the biggest on the SummerSlam card. It’s a match more than 15 years in the making, since both wrestlers came up together in WWE but never had a major feud against one another. Orton is returning for his first pay-per-view match in nearly a year, and Lesnar is fighting for the first time since defeating Mark Hunt in his UFC return.
But it’s the build towards the United States Championship match between Roman Reigns and Rusev that has closed out Raw in each of the last two week
