His first match was against Aleister Black. The match came after reports that Fish had been spotted at the building earlier in the day, along with Pro Wrestling Sheet noting that he'd be making his debut. An NXT debut that was already known about happened at the tapings as well, with Mauro Ranallo joining the broadcast booth for the first time since announcing that he'll be staying with WWE. Triple H introduced him to the crowd at the start of the show. Fish had previously reached a new short-term agreement with Ring of Honor when his contract came up at the end of last year. When that expired in March, he continued working for ROH on a per-date basis and started taking other bookings. There has also been a situation with claims related to tampering from ROH that have at least temporarily blocked some people (including Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) who were formerly with them from signing with WWE.

Originally Posted by WrestleInc As seen on RAW this past Monday night, Roman Reigns challenged the winner of the Samoa Joe vs. Brock Lesnar WWE Universal Championship bout to a title match at SummerSlam. We've mentioned that the plan for the main event for SummerSlam was for Lesnar to defend the WWE Universal Championship against Braun Strowman. Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Strowman vs. Lesnar for the title was still the plan as late as two weeks ago. Meltzer noted that if the plans changed, it could be because of the recent low ratings, with the idea being that Lesnar's limited schedule while holding the title could be hurting them. The original plan was for Lesnar to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, with Lesnar defending the title against Seth Rollins and Finn Balor before then.

Some details regarding rumors of Lesnar-Reigns getting nixed for Mania 34 in favor of SummerSlam instead.
