WWE is giving us another pay-per-view caliber match for free. Last week we were treated to wrestling's version of a sampler platter appetizer with a triple-threat match that featured 3/4's of SummerSlam's main event. Tomorrow, WWE is all of its graciousness, is giving us Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns.

But it's not just your standard pinfall or submission contest - it's a Last Man Standing match.

From WWE:

"With less than three weeks to go until they clash in a Fatal 4-Way Match with the Universal Championship on the line at SummerSlam, it has been announced that Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman will continue their epic rivalry when they compete in a Last Man Standing Match this Monday on Raw."

"The personal history between Reigns and Strowman is well-known, as they have already competed in several brutal encounters, including their Ambulance Match last month at WWE Great Balls of Fire. What will happen when these two Superstars have to inflict enough damage onto one another to keep them down for a count of 10 and be declared the victor of the Last Man Standing Match? And what impact will this have on the looming Universal Title Match at The Biggest Event of Summer?"

At a house show over the weekend, Roman Reigns cut a brief promo on the subject of his big Monday night showdown:

Reigns and Strowman have been in quite the feud during 2017. By now, Roman's attempt to murder Strowman is well-documented and Strowman has yet to truly exact his revenge for Reigns' plot to kill him.

A Last Man Standing Match on RAW will certainly generate some intrigue for the show. All signs point to a screwy finish where Samoa Joe storms from behind the curtain or possibly an appearance from the elusive Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. The WWE Universal Champion tends to have a "Lesnar Moment" before his bigger PPV matches where he destroys anything he can get his hands on (cars and people in the past). So tomorrow's match may be the perfect opportunity for him to put his demolishing nature on display.

Regardless, look for WWE to add juice not only the Fatal 4-Way story but also the blood feud between Strowman and Reigns. After dominating last week's triple threat match, Reigns may be in for a humbling moment.
