As a result of his attack on a non-wrestler, Braun Strowman is fined and punished by RAW GM Kurt Angle. Another fatal four-way is booked to determine a number one contender, with John Cena, Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns, and Finn Bálor making up the numbers.

Earlier in the evening Jason Jordan is scheduled to take on Elias in singles action. The Drifter sings his song before Jordan is introduced, but Kurt Angle’s son is nowhere to be seen. Strowman soon appears at the top of the ramp, dragging Jordan behind him like some sort of carcass.

The demand from Strowman is simple - put me in the number one contender’s match, or I will obliterate your son. Angle acquiesces, and Strowman is entered into the match.

Whilst it is a shame to have to sacrifice Jordan here, the fact is that Strowman is going to get cheered no matter who he beats up. Jordan provides the necessary link to Angle for Strowman to get what he wants.
