The heart of the matter
About fifteen minutes into Reigns vs. Joe, Braun Strowman made returned to a big reaction. Both the superstars were laying on the mat as Strowman made his entry, exhausted and vulnerable. Joe and Reigns tried to hold him off with Coquina Clutches and Superman Punches respectively, but all in vain.

- What’s next?
As for the attack made by Braun Strowman, a fatal four-way match for the Universal title could possibly be on the cards for Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar.
Author’s take
The ending of the Ambulance Match has already upped the ante for the Reigns-Strowman feud, adding Samoa Joe in the feud will only make things better. None of the three are known to take sides and expect extreme hostility as Summerslam approaches with a Universal title shot hanging in the balance.
