Lesnar walked out on SmackDown and stared Roman down in the ring. Reigns threw the first punch and managed to make The Beast Incarnate back off but only for a second. Brock hit German Suplexes one after the other on Roman before The Usos rushed the ring and was sent to Suplex City as well.
The BEAST. The MESSAGE.
