Current Raw GM Kurt Angle revealed the SummerSlam main event during the opening segment of last night's episode.

Brock Lesnar will defend his Universal Title against Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman in a bumper Fatal-4-Way on August 20 in Brooklyn, New York.

This comes hot on the heels of Strowman beating Reigns in an Ambulance Match at Great Balls Of Fire and Joe losing one-on-one to Lesnar in the main event of the same pay-per-view. Now, all 3 men get a crack at the reigning champ at the same time.

Another pair of title matches have also been announced for SummerSlam, and both of them come from WWE's female divisions. Bayley beat Sasha Banks on Raw to confirm a match against Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Title and Natalya will go up against Naomi for the SmackDown equivalent after winning a Fatal-5-Way at Battleground.

The Fatal-4-Way for Brock Lesnar's Universal Title is the most notable announcement by far though. Hopefully, fans can look forward to the same brand of carnage witnessed during an in-ring brawl between Reigns, Joe and Strowman on Raw.
