[NOISE] >> Ring the bell.
[SOUND] >> Match is underway, here we go,
Triple Threat Match.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> And
a forearm right to the side of the face.
>> Let's get it on.
>> And here's Roman now with the right hand to Strowman.
Strowman looking to send Roman into the corner and
the big man will follow things up.
>> Look at the speed. >> And the Monster Among Men,
looking to put both of these men away early.
>> Look at this, like a full, full speed ahead both, [LAUGH] my goodness,
both of Strowman's opponents have been dropped.
>> Joe just couldn't take any more of that.
>> And Samoa Joe got pummelled and fell out of the ring now.
Roman Reigns, now Strowman screaming this is my yard.
>> Strowman in control.
>> Does it look like Roman's yard now.
>> And we're back live on Monday Night Raw Colossal, Triple Threat match,
Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns.
Remember Triple Threat rules, first man to gain pinfall or submission wins match up.
No count-up, no disqualification.
Joe with a kick right through the side of the face of Strowman, and
Monster Strowman man is stunned.
>> Still on- >> Reigns takes him down.
You were saying?
>> [LAUGH] But this, I think this is unwilling teamwork right here.
>> You keep chopping on the big man, you keep chopping on him, and he's gonna fall.
Now Joe set up.
I'm gonna go after Roman.
Roman don't block the encounter with the right hand.
Strowman out of the match-up momentarily.
>> Roman and Samoa Joe been in the ring enough time.
The ring knows what to expect.
And tremendous history, short history, albeit between these two men.
>> Just say no love lost between the two guys.
> Excactly.
>> Great counter by Samoa Joe, picking Reigns out of midair.
>> The arm bar, Roman Reigns is in trouble, Roman Reigns taps here,
it's over.
>> And Joe would win the match-up, Strowman wouldn't be involved
in the decision, much the same way the Fatal 4-Way goes down.
>> You talk about riding a wave of momentum, Samoa Joe still,
after The Great Balls of Fire Pay-per-View taking Lesnar to the limit,
feels like he's untouchable.
>> Whoa, look at this.
>> Wow.
>> And think about this.
If this was the Fatal 4-Way and Roman tapped here, Joe would be the champion.
Lesnar wouldn't even be involved in the decision, and
Strowman bouncing Joe right up the apron.
>> Lesnar would leave WWE.
And now whipping Joe into the barricade, of course that's what Heyman said earlier
tonight, Brock does not retain the title at SummerSlam, Brock leaves WWE.
Now Roman Reigns with the right hand.
>> Thunderous right hand by Reigns.
>> And Braun Strowman, backpedaling a bit as Roman Reigns brings the fight as he
always does, and now this spills out in the WWE Universe.
Remember, no count-out under Triple Threat Rules.
>> Talking about a great matchup, got three different styles here.
We got a monster, we got the hybrid right here.
>> And Booker,
don't forget we add Brock Lesnar to the mix in three weeks at SummerSlam.
>> Yes indeed.
>> This is all legal inside the ring out in the WWE Universe.
No disqualification.
>> One right hand to the ribs turn things around for Strowman.
>> Some luxury of swim cinder blocks.
Just driving the air right out of Roman Reigns lung's as Braun Strowman tosses it
back to the ringside area.
>> Uh-oh!
Watch, looking for the Coquina clutch on Braun Strowman,
Strowman trying to fight out of this.
And Strowman's in trouble.
>> Joe got it locked in tight.
>> Could you imagine what this would do to Strowman's confidence before SummerSlam?
Can Samoa Joe put the Monster to sleep?
>> Joe said someone's gonna go to sleep tonight.
But he has to turn his attention back to Roman Reigns is back to his feet.
>> What a break for Strowman right there.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Roman Reigns, glancing back to make
sure Strowman is still down and out as he continues to take the fight to Samoa Joe.
Now Joe into, no, it's Reigns into the barricade hips first!
>> Wham! >> And
again the kick this time to Roman Reigns, catches him right on the jaw.
>> Ultimate Fighter right there.
That's a true prizefighter in Samoa Joe, guys.
Don't quit.
>> There's no disqualification, no counteroffer,
this match must end in the ring.
Whether it be by pinfall or submission, we must have a winner.
>> Perfect precision, timing on that kick from Samoa Joe.
>> Just think what this will do for the winner of this match-up,
to build confidence going toward the Fatal 4-Way at SummerSlam.
>> Roman's dazed, guys.
Roman is dazed.
Man!
>> He was dazed, Joe is dazed now!
>> On the other hand, Cole, imagine what could do it could shatter superstars
confidence, coming up short in this match.
>> Joe was looking for the Yurinagi, Roman caught him with a number of elbows to
the side of the face, continues the assault.
>> Again golden opportunity for
one of these men to strike while Braun Strowman is down and out outside the ring.
>> There's the massive biceps of Reigns, just wrecking the face of Samoa Joe.
>> Yeah, but a hurt man is dead.
>> Down goes Joe!
>> [NOISE]
>> Roman Reigns just oozing confidence.
>> [LAUGH] Man, that walk right there tells you a whole lot,
that this is my yard.
Roman Reigns is setting it up!
>> Rob has got his target acquired.
>> [NOISE] >> Samoa Joe doing the smart thing.
No shame in that game, Joe rolling out to avoid a Superman punch.
>> Yeah, buy himself some time to shake things off out here.
>> Samoa Joe could replan his game, uh-oh!
>> Roman Reigns off the steps with a Superman punch!
>> [NOISE] >> I said it once,
I said a thousand times, you gotta keep your eye on your opponent at all times.
>> Monday Night Raw is live tonight in Pittsburgh,
as we take another look at the impact from the Superman Punch by Roman Reigns.
We're in the middle of a Triple Threat Match, ladies and gentlemen.
Three-quarters of the SummerSlam Fatal 4-Way main event.
Braun Strowman who's now coming to.
Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe.
First man to gain pinfall or submission will win this match-up.
>> Reigns knows he needs to neutralize Strowman before he takes a victory on
Samoa Joe.
Can he get it done?
>> [NOISE]
>> Braun caught him right in the face!
And Roman fell like a ton of bricks!
>> I don't know if it was the face or right in the sternum, Cole,
either way it dropped Reigns.
>> The momentum from Roman Reigns meeting that move, guys-
>> To find out right [SOUND],
to the chest.
>> Solar plexus.
>> Again, if you're just joining us ladies and gentlemen, Brock Lesnar,
Paul Heyman confronted Kurt Angle at the beginning of the show tonight,
upset that Lesnar has to defend his title in a Fatal 4-Way match.
And Strowman Reigns into the steel post.
>> Heyman said it, Lesnar does not retain at SummerSlam, he is out of WWE.
And here's Strowman with a clothesline, down goes Joe.
>> Wow, what a clothesline from this Big Monster.
>> This is what all boils down to right here is Reigns and Strowman,
this is personal.
>> Steps!
>> This is deeply personal, these two superstar detest one another.
>> Yeah, remember Roman Reigns was in an ambulance that break, and
Braun Strowman tipped over on itself.
And a few weeks later, Roman Reigns put Strowman in an ambulance and
drove it into a semi.
An accident that Braun Strowman walked away from.
>> Look at the- >> Can you imagine the impact?
>> Like a semi running right at you.
>> I was gonna say, it's got to feel like a 747 coming at you on the train.
>> This Brock Lesnar though.
>> [LAUGH] >> Brock Lesnar is also,
you got to factor him into- >> My Lord!
>> Wow.
>> He just lifted Roman and
threw him through the second rope half way across the ring.
>> You're talking about what this man went through over the last month and
you look at him right now he's definitely 100%,
if not he's just moving on pure adrenaline and just pure hatred [INAUDIBLE].
>> He just threw those steps into the ring.
Watch what he does to Roman Reigns here, this is absolutely incredible.
The power of Braun Strowman.
>> And believe it or not, Braun Strowman could actually do that to Brock Lesnar,
that's how powerful Braun Strowman is.
And Joe caught Strowman and down goes Braun.
>> Wow. >> And the suddenness of Samoa Joe!
>> Joe knows what's at stake, he's looking to finish off Reigns.
>> As his said title Roman Reigns,
here's the cover to win the Triple Threat match here tonight!
>> [CROSSTALK] >> Kickout.
Big win there for Samoa Joe.
Keep it rolling, Joe.
>> You gotta imagine right now Roman Reigns insides has got to be liquefied
between the monstrous boot from Strowman, a gigantic sent on from Joe.
I don't know how Roman's still moving right now.
>> I'll tell you something, Samoe Joe has one thing on his mind and
that's becoming champion here in the WWE.
And you have to go through these two right here as well as Brock Lesnar.
He's got to do it.
>> Look at this.
Roman Reigns looking for the Samoa drop.
>> Coquina Clutch!
Remember, Samoa Joe had this locked in at Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire, and
Kane just a moment away from winning the Universal Championship.
And now, and
Braun Strowman makes sure that- >> Just bulldozed everybody out
of the way.
>> Showed us and win this match.
>> Look at this, the power of Strowman, Power Slam, cover on Joe!
Hook to the leg, Roman Reigns just saving the match-up.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> That was literally an earth-shaking
Power Slam.
Let's take a look, Joe, the Coquina Clutch was locked in tight but Strowman,
that game changing superhuman power completely neutralizes everything.
>> I love the word that you use really described it best, bulldozing.
>> [NOISE] >> Lucky for Roman Reigns,
cuz Roman was searching searching to get out of that Coquina Clutch, and.
>> And again,
look at the damage these three men have done to one another here tonight.
>> And now you add Brock Lesnar, The Beast,
the most dangerous man in WWE history into this match, Fatal 4-Way of SummerSlam.
Imagine what they're gonna do to one another.
>> A whiplash on Roman Reigns, my God.
>> Nothing pretty about Braun Strowman, but it's effective.
>> No.
>> Just what Strowman needs.
>> This is not gonna end well for somebody.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Stalking Roman Reigns, waiting.
>> [NOISE] >> You're gonna see this exact same type
of match at SummerSlam, but you add Brock Lesnar, it's gonna be even more exciting!
>> Superman Punch!
Reigns avoiding disaster, and now Reigns with the steps in his own hands right
to Strowman, driving him out of the ring!
>> [NOISE] >> Spear!
Cover!
>> One, two, three!
>> Roman Reigns is rolling towards SummerSlam!
>> [NOISE]
>> Here is your winner, Roman Reigns!
>> Wow.
[MUSIC]
And you saw Roman Reigns say to himself, The Big Dog!
And indeed he was tonight, protecting his yard,
in a massive battle against Joe and Strowman.
>> You were talking about building momentum, as we head toward
Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York and the Universal Title Match.
Strowman was looking to end Roman Reigns once and for all.
But The Big Dog would not relent.
Roman Reigns with the steps to Strowman, driving him out of the ring.
And then his signature, the Spear.
Roman Reigns hits that Spear in three weeks at SummerSlam.
>> [NOISE] >> Roman Reigns is gonna be the new
Universal Champion.
[MUSIC]
>> The thing about it is, Roman Reigns can hit it on anybody and
become Universal Champion, not just Brock Lesnar.
That's the situation in Barclays Center.
[MUSIC]

Look at that big man.
>> Strowman, Joe, Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
Three weeks for the Universal Title, SummerSlam.
