1) Added Stakes To The Universal Title Match At Summerslam!
This week’s episode of Monday Night RAW was kicked off with General Manager: Kurt Angle. This was a homecoming for Kurt, who is from Pittsburgh (where RAW was held).
After thanking the crowd, he was interrupted by Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. They were not happy about the Fatal 4-way match at Summerslam. Paul Heyman announced that if Brock loses his title at Summerslam, he will be leaving WWE.

A big match just got even bigger!
2) Paul Heyman Made A UFC Joke
As Paul Heyman was talking to Kurt Angle in the opening segment, he made a subtle UFC joke. This comes after speculation has been rampant that Brock could be leaving WWE for the UFC.
Paul said Angle wants Brock to “Pay the ULTIMATE Price”. In case it is still over your head, UFC stands for Ultimate Fighting Championship:
That “ultimate price” line is why Paul Heyman is the GOAT #raw
