The 'Monster Among Men' will make the comeback of all comebacks at the conclusion of the Extreme Rules main event.

The Fatal Five Way is poised to position one of Raw's top stars against Brock Lesnar for the ludicrously-titled 'Great Balls of Fire' pay-per-view in July, but all along that spot belonged to Braun Strowman.

Braun and Brock were destined for an insane showdown, presumably following Strowman's last contest with Roman Reigns fought most likely under an Ambulance Match stipulation at this very show.

Exhibiting the sort of rage that steered him to victory over Reigns at Payback off the back of some famous beatings on television, Strowman will return as 'The Big Dog' has the match won, dragging him from the battle to allow Seth Rollins to pick up a lucky pin on a fallen Samoa Joe. With Finn Balor ready to spin off into a interminable feud with Bray Wyatt, Rollins remains the safe choice whilst the company still carefully cultivates Joe's killer status.
