By Richard Trionfo on 2018-08-06 23:06:00

We are back and Elias is in the ring.   Elias wants to know who wants to walk with Elias.  Elias says the album is out and he is changing lives on a daily basis.  Elias says some of the biggest names in music are afraid of Elias.  Elias mentions his documentary but they got it wrong.  Elias says that is why he has his camera crew.  He is going to do it right and the Elias way.  Elias has the camera crew focus on the magic of his fingers.   Elias tells them to circle around him since he is the center of the WWE Universe.  Elias stops and blames the audience.  Maybe you can use your CGI to blur out their faces.  He tells them to crop out the faces of the Jacksonville crowd with more attractive people.  

Elias says that Bobby Lashley is not going to come out and ruin things tonight.

Elias is interrupted by Bobby Lashley who eventually makes his way to the ring. 

Bobby says that Elias is a funny guy.  Bobby says Elias mentions his name and here he is.  Bobby says the documentary was a brilliant depiction of Elias.

Elias says it portrayed him as egotistical, out of touch, and vain.  Lashley asks as opposed to what?  Elias calls Bobby clever.  

Elias says he knows that Bobby is trying to steal the spotlight from Elias.  Bobby tried on his first day back.  Elias says that Bobby's comeback is a joke.

Bobby calls everything about Elias a joke.  He says that the next time his name comes out of Elias' mouth, what he does to Elias will not be a joke.  

Elias checks on some notes from his documentary crew and he attacks Lashley.  Lashley with a spinebuster.

Bobby asks for the camera crew to come back into the ring and Bobby hits a delayed vertical suplex.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre are in the back.

Tyler Breeze comes up to Seth Rollins and he says that he heard Seth is in a jam and looking for a tag team partner.  Tyler says that Seth is passable and they could be Crossfit Breezus.  Tyler says let's do this before he changes his mind.  Seth does not throw out his fist and Roman enters the room.  Seth says everyone wants to be a member and then Roman says he has Seth's back tonight.

Match Number Three:  Rezar (with Akam) versus Titus O'Neil (with Apollo Crews and Dana Brooke)

They lock up and Rezar backs Titus into the corner.  Rezar with a knee to the midsection.  Titus with punches but Rezar with a knee to the midsection.  Rezar with shoulders in the corner.  Rezar chokes Titus in the corner.  Titus with kicks in the corner followed by punches.  Titus with an Irish whip and shoulders in the corner.  Titus with punches but Rezar with an Irish whip.  Titus floats over and connects with a boot to the head.  

Titus with a splash into the corner and Rezar with a boot when Titus charges into the corner.  Rezar with a spinebuster for the three count.

Kevin Owens is in the back with Jinder Mahal and Sunil Singh because the Kevin Owens Show is back.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Kevin Owens is in the Okerlund Zone for the Kevin Owens Show.  

Kevin welcomes everyone to the Kevin Owens Show.  He brings out his guest, a man who has helped him deal with all of the stress caused by Braun Strowman.  He is Kevin's personal guru.  He brings out Jinder Mahal and Jinder is accompanied by Sunil Singh.

Kevin thanks Jinder and says he was skeptical of some of the techniques, but he has never been more at peace.  After he was thrown from the steel cage by Braun Strowman, he thought he would live the rest of his life in pain, but he woke up this morning without pain.  He could pick up his little girl without having his spine shift.  Kevin says he shares something special with Jinder.  

When people look at Braun Strowman, they see a monster, someone who is impossible to beat.  Kevin says he achieved the impossible because he beat Braun Strowman.  Kevin points out that Jinder beat Braun last week.  Kevin says he did it in a steel cage match while Jinder won by count out.  That is one of the ways that Braun could lose to Kevin at SummerSlam.  Kevin says he will take everything away from Braun and when he wins at SummerSlam he will be Mr. Money in the Bank.  He will get a guaranteed title match.  That guarantees that he will finally reclaim his Universal Championship.

Kevin says he has not been the same since he lost the title.  He says he is now at peace and clear headed.  Kevin has an idea for tonight.  Kevin says that Jinder needs to face Braun Strowman again.  Kevin says that Jinder will beat Braun again.  

Kevin brings out Braun Strowman but Braun does not come out.  Kevin, Jinder, and Sunil freak out because the platform shakes and Braun pushes it over.

We go to commercial.

Match Number Four:  Jinder Mahal (with Sunil Singh) versus Braun Strowman

Jinder wants some Shanti as he tries to figure out how to survive Strowman.  Braun tells Jinder to come on.  

Kevin grabs the briefcase and tries to leave but Braun sees it.  Kevin drops the case and runs up the ramp.  Braun does not get counted out but he keeps the briefcase at ringside.  Braun backs Jinder into the corner and Braun with a biel.  Kevin gets the case again and he goes up the ramp but Braun stops him and Braun punches Owens.  Strowman hits Mahal with the briefcase and the referee calls for the bell.

Winner:  Jinder Mahal (by disqualification)

After the match, Braun grabs Mahal but Singh takes the briefcase.  Sunil tosses it back and Braun kicks Sunil.

We see footage of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins with a fan at a house show from this weekend.

Baron Corbin is walking in the back and he is on the phone with Stephanie.  Baron finds Kurt Angle and gives him the phone.  Kurt disagrees with Stephanie but he remembers who's the boss and Kurt agrees to do it.

We go to commercial.

We are back with an interview that Corey Graves did with Roman Reigns. 

Corey asks Roman what would he say to his critics who feel that he came up short against Brock.  Roman says a lot of people have lost to Brock Lesnar, but he has kicked his ass.  The first time, they knew it was a war.   Brock did not beat him that time.  The next time, Brock got the best of him.  It is about picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and doing it again.  We see the end of the Cage Match from Saudi Arabia.  Regardless of the outcome, he beat Brock Lesnar.  He is the true Universal Champion.

Corey asks Roman about Brock's comments about not caring about the WWE Universe and his attack on Kurt Angle and Paul Heyman.  Roman says there is no leader when you have a champion like Brock Lesnar.  He does not respect this place.  He does not respect his family's lifestyle.

Corey mentions Brock's comments about Roman after Raw and what happens if Roman wins.  Roman says he will do what Brock doesn't do.  He will show up and earn the right to battle every single night and defend the Universal Championship and set a standard.  Brock is a beast and he has knocked down a lot of men, but no one like him.  Brock may knock him down, but Roman will get back up.  Roman says he has to win.
