Brock Lesnar’s next challenger to be decided at Extreme Rules

With Braun Strowman out for up to six months due to elbow surgery, a new #1 contender must be decided for Brock Lesnar’s Universal Title. After much thought, RAW General Manager Kurt Angle revealed tonight on RAW that five men will fight for the right to challenge Brock in a Fatal 5-Way main event at Extreme Rules on June 4th in Baltimore.

Former Universal Champion Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe and Bray Wyatt were announced by Angle as the five competitors for the #1 contendership match.
