This year alone, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns have already beaten the crap out of one another inside a Steel Cage and attacked from behind numerous times on Raw. It feels a bit sedate that they're headed for another straight up match with rules at SummerSlam 2018 after all that chaos.

On the Kickoff show, WWE should up the excitement levels by announcing that Lesnar vs. Reigns now carries a 'No Holds Barred' or Street Fight stipulation.

This could be explained away as a punishment from Raw GM Kurt Angle for Brock and Paul Heyman's devious plan on Monday, and it'd give both men an excuse to use every shortcut under the sun to make their match more rousing. SummerSlam 2017's headliner benefited from the balls-out mayhem, lest we forget.

A stipulation might have the same stirring effect on Brock and Roman here. They cannot go into the match abiding by rope breaks or five counts when they've been presented as two men who can't stand one another. Respect has gone out the window, and the rules must follow.
