The two veterans combined once again, this time against Reigns. However, the big dog fought back and superman punched Orton out of the ring but not over the top rope. Corbin then eliminated Rey only to find himself surrounded by the remaining baby faces.

Rollins, Reigns and Strowman teamed up to eliminate Corbin. Strowman then turned his attention towards Reigns and Rollins. Reigns tried to fight back with a spear but Strowman quickly moved out the way and Reigns hit Rollins instead. Strowman then tried to throw Reigns out of the ring but the Big Dog managed to hang on. Rollins then ran from behind and pushed both of them over the top rope.

Orton then came from behind and striked Rollins with a DDT. Orton the taunted Lesnar and at one point it looked like we could get a SummerSlam rematch between the two. However, that was not meant to be as Rollins hit Orton with a Curb Stomp before he threw him out of the ring.

With that Rollins will now get a chance to reclaim the championship he lost to Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules. Rollins told Lesnar that he was a man possessed and would do anything to get his title back.
He promised that SummerSlam would be a repeat of Wrestlemania where he dethroned the beast. Lesnar approached him with a steel chair in hand but hit the apron instead before backing off.
SummerSlam will take place on August 11, 2019 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
