Last night on RAW, the newly crowned #1 contender Samoa Joe brutally attacked Brock Lesnar’s advocate, Paul Heyman. Samoa Joe locked in the Coquina Clutch until Heyman passed out in the middle of the ring.

WWE is currently hyping Lesnar’s return to RAW next week and posted the following on their website:
Samoa Joe showed no fear when he trapped Paul Heyman in the Coquina Clutch on Raw, but next Monday night, he’ll have to answer to Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar hasn’t been seen on Raw since the night after he captured Team Red’s most prestigious prize from Goldberg at WrestleMania 33, but now that he has a No. 1 contender in The Samoan Submission Machine — who painfully attacked Lesnar’s advocate this week — The Beast Incarnate has decided to resurface. We might be weeks away from Joe and Lesnar’s Universal Title clash at the WWE Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view, but things are already heating up.
What will happen when Lesnar and Joe meet under the same roof next Monday night? Find out by tuning in to Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network.
Brock Lesnar is set to defend his Universal Championship against Samoa Joe at WWE Great Balls of Fire on July 9th. WWE released the following promo for the PPV yesterday:
