lesnar returned to wwe programming on the july 30 episode of "raw", per orders of angle, otherwise lesnar would be stripped of the universal championship. despite being at the arena, lesnar refused to appear in the ring, and angle threatened to fire heyman if lesnar failed to do so. throughout the broadcast, heyman unsuccessfully attempted to convince lesnar to appear, with lesnar going as far as to threaten heyman. at the end of the show, lesnar appeared after angle fired heyman and called lesnar the worst universal champion in wwe history, and subsequently attacked angle with the "f-5" before choking heyman. two weeks later, heyman revealed it was all just a ruse with lesnar returning on the august 13 episode of "raw" to attack reigns. at summerslam, strowman was at ringside ready to cash in his money in the bank contract on the winner. lesnar incapacitated strowman, allowing reigns to capitalize on the distracted lesnar and win the universal championship, ending lesnar's title reign at 504 days, which had surpassed cm punk's wwe championship reign of 434 days as "the longest [world championship reign] of the modern era". the reign became the sixth longest world championship reign in wwe history and the longest since 1988.
