What news did we hear, in the aftermath of SummerSlam?

#2 Lesnar's new opponent revealed

Back to reality.

Despite the fact that the main event of SummerSlam was a Fatal 4-Way match, it was when Brock Lesnar confronted Braun Strowman that the crowd seemed to explode with delight. Strowman looked absolutely unstoppable in the match, and while Lesnar did pick up the win, Strowman was made into a certified main-eventer during the said contest.

The carnage continued on Raw, as Strowman made short work of Lesnar, making the Beast look the most vulnerable he's seemed in recent memory. It was determined that Lesnar faces Strowman next month, in the main event of No Mercy, for the prestigious Universal Championship. In many ways, this seems like a bigger match (no pun intended) than the rumoured Wrestlemania main event, featuring Lesnar and Roman Reigns.
