After the events of Raw's opening, Braun Strowman went "Big Dog hunting" in an arena-wide search for Roman Reigns. And after his rampage through the arena came up empty, he decided (off the suggestion of a terrified Charly Caruso) to go to the ring and let Reigns find him. He got what he asked for, though perhaps not what he wanted.

With Reigns initially refusing to answer Strowman’s call-out, The Monster Among Men reiterated his promise to take Reigns’ title at WWE Hell in a Cell and even threw a warning in the direction of guest referee Mick Foley. That’s when The Big Dog made his presence known, appearing atop the commentary table with his title in hand. Strowman pursued Reigns up the ramp and got the better of him in the initial throwdown by driving him into the stage’s LED board before laying him out atop the commentary desk.

His attempts to finish The Big Dog off, however, were literally upended. From atop the announce desk, Strowman hoisted Reigns onto his shoulders and dropped him through the stage with a titanic Samoan Drop that The Gift of Destruction was unable to rise from. Give Reigns credit for doing the near impossible and managing to keep Strowman down. To keep his title, however, he’ll have to do it again. And again. And again. And again.
