Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar in a last man standing match has been scheduled for WWE SummerSlam after Lesnar returned and confronted Reigns on tonight’s SmackDown.
Reigns successfully defended the WWE Universal Undisputed Title against Riddle. After the match, Reigns was asking the crowd to acknowledge him. Reigns and The Usos were preparing to leave when Lesnar’s music played. He made it to the ring and held out his hand to Reigns, who wasn’t sure what to do. He eventually went to shake Lesnar’s hand, but Lesnar immediately dropped him with an F5. The Usos tried to intervene, but were also shot down with F5.

Vince shows up, but doesn’t say anything.

At the start of tonight’s show, McMahon appeared in front of the crowd and said that he was there to remind the crowd of the four words that open every WWE broadcast: then, now, forever, together.
