• Big World Title Match Set For Tonight’s RAW
Paul Heyman confronted World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso in the opening segment of tonight’s RAW and said that Roman Reigns & CM Punk both put him in impossible situations, and explained why he’s in the right for joining Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41.
Heyman said he turned The Big Dog into The Tribal Chief and then left him after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship because he was more focused on getting revenge on Seth Rollins. Heyman ripped Reigns for leaving him to Solo Sikoa and then Sikoa attacked him, Roman only came back to get the Ula Fala back.

Jey asked what any of their situation has to do with him. Paul said the World Heavyweight Title holds power and leverage, and claimed that Seth has to become champion.
Heyman said that Bron Breakker joining them was stage 1, and stage 2 is Seth becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. Paul said that he will let Jey pick the time and place that he loses the Title to Seth. Jey accepted the challenge and picked for the match to take place tonight, and it was made official.
In a backstage segment, Heyman told Rollins that Jey fell for it, and Rollins said: “I told you so!”
