If you were wondering how WWE would book itself out of the corner it painted itself into with Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns, wonder no more.

Braun and Roman had a hard-hitting match that was chugging along decently until everything came to a screeching halt. With both men down, their respective teammates came down to ringside, fought, climbed on top of the cage, fought, two of them (Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins) climbed down halfway and fell through the announce tables.

Then Brock Lesnar(!) returned, kicked the door off the hinges and attacked Reigns and Strowman, who were still down from the match. He beat on both of them with bits of table, hit them with F-5s and left.

And that was that.
