Roman Reigns kicked off Raw with a stinker of a smug attitude, boasting about how he was still Universal Champion thanks to Brock Lesnar causing his Hell in a Cell match to end in a no-contest.

Thankfully, Braun Strowman charged out to the ring to drop some truth bombs. Braun immediately called it “crap” and said Roman should be thankful that Brock interfered because it was the only reason Reigns still had the title. He noted that this was the second time Lesnar had cost him a Money in the Bank cash-in, so he should get the Beast first, not Roman.

And after being booked into a triple threat with Brock and Roman in November rather than a one-on-one with either man, Strowman declared that everything “sucks.”
