We celebrate the longest running episodic television series going today. However shows like RAW Reunion are a plague to the WWE. Shows like RAW Reunion lets the WWE Universe put on their rose colored glasses to indulge their ridiculous addiction to nostalgia. Tonight they could have seen him in the ring doing what he does best by painting in brutality and sculpting in violence. Instead you got The Usos and their daddy spitting limericks at John Cena. It’s embarrassing.
Roman Reigns’ music hits, and he makes his way to the ring to a nice reception. Reigns says if Joe has something to say about his family, then he can say it.

Rollins is seen laughing at the footage. Rollins mocks how Paul Heyman says “Brock Lesnar” and talks about Lesnar’s appearance. Who wouldn’t want to be Lesnar? Rollins says he doesn’t want to be Lesnar. In fact, Lesnar is a Rollins wannabe.
Paul Heyman is backstage and says his name is Seth Rollins’ dose of reality. Heyman says Rollins sees himself in the mirror while Lesnar sees the reigning, defending, undisputed Universal Champion. Before Rollins says anything, Heyman reminds him that Rollins did the exact same thing with Money in the Bank to Lesnar. Rollins says he did and it took Lesnar four years to return the favor. Heyman rushes out to the stage, but Rollins tells him to keep quiet because he wants to stomp Heyman’s head through the ramp. Rollins counts down, and Heyman runs off.
Rollins says for the past 20 years, Heyman has built up Lesnar as a beast and a conqueror. That’s not true. Lesnar is a man and any man can lose. At SummerSlam, he’ll face Lesnar for the Universal Championship and Lesnar will lose. As for tonight, he prepares for matches by facing the best. Tonight, he goes one-on-one with AJ Styles and will burn it down.

They let Rollins do Billy Gunn’s line of “if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya” spot.
