As their clash for the WWE Universal Championship approaches, Brock Lesnar proceeds to play main games against his opponent Braun Strowman.
Strowman, completely healed from his elbow surgery, came out to the ring and immediately demanded Lesnar to come out. Instead of coming out to the ring, Lesnar and his advocate Paul Heyman stayed backstage as a way to protect the investment. Heyman didn’t want for Strowman to be left laying by the Universal Champion, suggesting that staying in the back was the right decision.
Strowman would try to goad Lesnar into facing him in the ring, eventually provoking Lesnar enough for him to retaliate. As the champion approached his challenger, he teased going into the ring, but circled around at ringside and deciding to walk back up the ramp. An angry Strowman promised that Lesnar would not escape his wrath come Royal Rumble.
