1) The WWE Universal Title Exists!
This weeks episode of RAW kicked off with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. This came one week after Samoa Joe attacked Heyman.
This was the first time that WWE fans have seen Lesnar or the Universal Title since the RAW after Wrestlemania 33. There were plenty of jokes on Twitter:
It’s the reigning, non defending, yet to conquer anybody since winning the #UniversalChampionship BROCK LESNAR!!!!#RAW

What’s that red, leather belt-looking thing Brock Lesnar is carrying? #RAW

Welcome back Brock.
2) Perfect Booking For Brock vs Joe
After getting called out by Paul Heyman, Samoa Joe came face to face with Brock Lesnar in the middle of the ring. They both brawled to open the show and had to be separated by the entire WWE locker room.
WWE has been doing a fantastic job selling the match between Joe and Brock. They have especially done a great job building up Joe as a credible threat.
