Cena moved out of the corner to evade Miz's attack to get the hot tag to Reigns as Miz tagged in Joe.
Reigns loaded up for the Superman Punch, but Joe reversed into a takedown. Joe tagged in Miz, who distracted the ref so that Bo Dallas could attack Reigns from behind. Reigns got knocked outside again, this time hitting the Drive-by on Curtis Axel, a Superman Punch on Dallas and he slipped past Miz to tag in Cena.
Cena got the hot tag, putting down Miz before Joe locked in Coquina Clutch. Reigns attempted to hit the Superman Punch on Joe, but connected on Cena. Reigns and Joe ended up on the outside as Miz set up for the Skull Crushing Finale. Cena reversed into the AA for the three-count.
The show ended with Reigns staring down Cena as Cena's music played.

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins def. The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff Hardy) by pinfall
Rollins and Ambrose cut a promo on being champs again feeling like old times and offered an open challenge to any team in the back.

Kurt Angle announced the Raw return of John Cena
Cena hit the ring and said he was coming to Raw to call out a specific member of the roster. Roman Reigns appeared and the two squared off to fight before the Miz hit the ring. Miz cut the promo of his life, complaining about Angle bringing Cena as more talent to Raw when he's the Intercontinental champion and was left off the SummerSlam card.
Samoa Joe hit the ring, called out Reigns and punched Cena in the face. Chaos ensued that resulted in Reigns and Cena standing tall to a "you both suck" chant.

Brooklyn Street Fight: Enzo Amore def. Big Cass by ref stoppage (knee injury)
Enzo cut a promo before the match, saying their rivalry will end right where it began — in New York. Cass hit Enzo with a shopping cart and tossed him into the barricade. Cass gave a chair to Enzo, then hit him with a big boot. Cass attempted a big boot with Enzo on the apron, but he pulled the rope down and Cass fell over the top rope, apparently tweaking his knee. Back in the ring, Cass stomped on a chair as Enzo crawled to it, picked him up and slammed him. Cass tried to go for the Empire Elbow, but his knee buckled under him. The ref called the match and gave the win to Enzo.
Cass was apparently legit injured, which was later confirmed by WWE.
WWE Universal champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman kicked off Raw
Heyman talked up how Lesnar was carted away from the ring at SummerSlam before eventually overcoming the odds to keep the title. Braun Strowman hit the ring shortly at the end of Heyman's promo. Strowman then took out Lesnar yet again, hitting a running powerslam twice before holding up the Universal title.
Hey, @BrockLesnar, it looks like @BraunStrowman just sent a message...and it reads: "I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!" #RAW pic.twitter.com/YZ5FcFBUP7
