WWE RAW results July 17 2018, latest Monday Night Raw winners, video highlights

RAW kicked off with General Manager Kurt Angle already in the ring. He thanked the RAW Superstars for their hard work and dedication they had shown last night and then got to the topic of Brock Lesnar. Kurt had given him an ultimatum the night before and Brock would be stripped of the Universal Title if he did not show up or announce the terms of his next title defence. Just as Angle was about to announce Brock's change in championship status, Paul Heyman made his entrance.

Heyman said that Brock wants to defend the Universal Championship after he had also won the UFC Heavyweight Championship but Kurt disagreed to the terms. He said Brock had to defend his title at SummerSlam and Heyman finally agreed. Heyman asked Kurt who the challenger would be but before he could answer, Bobby Lashley walked out. Lashley declared he wants the title sot when Drew McIntyre made his entrance to ask for the same. Seth Rollins was next and he too wanted a title shot against Brock, what a surprise!

Elias came in with one of his signature blues guitar riffs and he plugged his debut album before asking for a chance at Brock's title. Finn Balor was next and he sought to regain the same belt that was once his. Roman Reigns followed him out soon after but wait, he just wants a match tonight. Angle decides that Seth, Lashley and Elias will be in a triple threat match and so will be Reigns, McIntyre and Balor to decide the next potential challenger for Brock Lesnar.

Constable Corbin approached Angle backstage and asked him why he hadn't considered Corbin for one of the matches instead of Finn Balor. Angle said he didn't deserve it and Corbin disagreed.
