#2 Another defeat for Samoa Joe
A titanic match took place at RAW Reunion where Samoa Joe locked horns with Roman Reigns. Rikishi joined The Usos when Jimmy and Jey fought The Revival. Samoa Joe mocked Rikishi and The Usos but the former US Champion was interrupted by Roman Reigns. Subsequently, they had a match as the Big Dog pinned Joe.
Samoa Joe attained a significant momentum after he became the number one contender for Kofi Kingston's WWE Championship at Extreme Rules. While Joe failed to beat the WWE Champion, the former certainly delivered a great match. In my humble opinion, Joe didn't need to fight Reigns on RAW. After gaining good momentum, Joe was defeated by the Big Dog. However, Reigns is searching for a new opponent at SummerSlam and it will be interesting to see if he renews the rivalry with Joe.
#1 The Universal Champion skipped RAW Reunion
Brock Lesnar had a memorable night at Extreme Rules where he cashed in the Money in the Bank contract to become the Universal Champion. Seth Rollins earned the right to face Lesnar at SummerSlam as the BeastSlayer won a Ten-Man Battle Royal Match on RAW last week. While Rollins was present at RAW Reunion, Brock Lesnar didn't show up. Rollins called out Lesnar on the Miz TV but the former was confronted by Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman.
It is no secret that Brock Lesnar is a part-timer and he doesn't appear regularly. In his last two Universal Title reigns, Lesnar skipped many big shows. We saw the same scenario this week when the Universal Champion was absent from RAW Reunion. Considering Lesnar is the holder of the most coveted prize of the Red Brand, it was surprising that he skipped one of the biggest RAW episodes of the year.
