This evening a new episode of Monday Night Raw was held in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The show started with the audience's ovation for Roman Reigns, who spent a few minutes defending the position of his cousin Jey Uso in the fight for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash in Paris, before turning his attention to his next opponent, Bronson Reed.

But before he could continue, Paul Heyman interrupted the promo from the stage, accompanied by Reed, who was holding Reigns' boots hanging from his neck. Despite the audience's attempts to silence him, The Wiseman explained the reason for his alliance with Reed, stating that Roman needs "tough love." After mocking the fans, Heyman made it clear that Reed's goal is to test the Tribal Chief.

The verbal confrontation escalated into a physical battle when Reigns taunted Bronson Reed to enter the ring. Although Reed managed to knock down Roman and threatened to execute his Tsunami, the fight was interrupted by the intervention of Adam Pearce and the security team. The chaos continued on the entrance ramp, where both were separated.

Hours later, it was revealed that the security guards who intervened in the scene were actually independent circuit wrestlers, the ones involved in the fierce battle were the Irish CBL and Sammy D, along with the British Tate Mayfairs, Ethan Allen, and James Ellis. CBL had recently participated in a WWE Tryout before SummerSlam, while the British talents are regulars in promotions like RevPro and others in the European circuit.
