The feud started at the June 19, 2017, episode of WWE RAW, where Roman Reigns proclaimed himself to be the No.1 contender for the Universal Championship and challenged Brock Lesnar (C) to a title match. However, Roman Reigns was attacked by Braun Strowman while he was facing Samoa Joe. This led to a match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman at Great Balls of Fire, which Strowman won. On the same PPV, Brock Lesnar retained his title against Samoa Joe. A week later, Roman Reigns again called out Brock Lesnar to a title match, but Samoa Joe came out and asked Lesnar to give him a rematch first. Reigns and Joe then competed in a number one contender's match, but Strowman returned and attacked both the superstars, resulting in a no contest. Later, WWE RAW GM Kurt Angle announced that Brock Lesnar will defend his title against Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman in a Fatal 4-Way match at WWE SummerSlam. The following week, Lesnar’s advocate, Paul Heyman proclaimed that if The Beast loses, then both he and Lesnar would leave WWE. #wwe #steam #wwe2k22
