Production
Background
On March 21, 2017,
The event's title referenced Jerry Lee Lewis' song of the same name, which was ultimately used as the event's theme song. WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler stated that his personal attorney, who also represented Lewis, had asked him about pursuing legal action over the title, but that he "called them and got everything worked out", including securing rights to use the song itself as part of the event.[6] The name received negative criticism on social media.[7]
Storylines
The event comprised nine matches, including one on the Kickoff pre-show, that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed

On the May 15 episode of Raw, Seth Rollins was scheduled to face Bray Wyatt as part of the buildup to their fatal five-way match at Extreme Rules. Wyatt and Rollins insulted each other prior to their match which Rollins won by disqualification after Samoa Joe interfered.[13] On the June 5 episode of Raw, Rollins wrestled Joe. During the match, Wyatt's music played and distracted Rollins, allowing Joe to win.[15] The following week, Rollins confronted Wyatt, called him a coward, and wondered if the reason Wyatt cost him his match was due to Rollins previously calling him gutless. Wyatt, claiming himself to be a god, said that although Rollins slayed a king (referring to Rollins' victory over Triple H at WrestleMania 33), he cannot slay a god.[16] The next week, as Rollins introduced himself as the cover star of the WWE 2K18 video game, he was interrupted by Wyatt. Wyatt accused Rollins of contradicting the video game's tagline "Be Like No One" by having conformed to the expectations of the audience. Rollins then attacked Wyatt.[23] On the June 26 episode, Wyatt challenged Rollins to a match at Great Balls of Fire, which Rollins accepted.[17] The two cut promos on each other the following week, with Wyatt's promo emanating from a desert.[18]
On the June 6 episode of 205 Live, Titus O'Neil attempted to get Akira Tozawa to join his stable of wrestlers, "The Titus Brand" (later named "Titus Worldwide").[24] O'Neil continued to try and recruit Tozawa on the June 12 episode of Raw,[16] the following night on 205 Live,[25] and the following week on Raw, after Tozawa defeated TJP. WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville then complained about being disrespected by Tozawa. O'Neil responded that Tozawa could beat Neville[23] and, with his help, would become Cruiserweight Champion.[26] On the June 26 episode of Raw, O'Neil informed both Neville and Tozawa that he had negotiated a title match between the two at Great Balls of Fire.[17] The following week on 205 Live, O'Neil hyped the Cruiserweight Championship match. Neville interrupted and said that Titus was only concerned with making money, and not the safety of his own clients, as demonstrated by the loss Titus Worldwide member Apollo Crews received from Braun Strowman on the previous night's episode of Raw.[27]

Pre-show
During the Great Balls of Fire Kickoff pre-show, Neville defended the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Akira Tozawa (with Titus O'Neil). In the end, Neville performed a Spinning Back Kick on Tozawa to retain the title.[30]
Preliminary matches
The actual pay-per-view opened with Bray Wyatt facing Seth Rollins. Wyatt poked the eye of Rollins and executed "Sister Abigail" on Rollins to win the match.[31]
Next, Enzo Amore faced Big Cass. After dominating the entire match, Cass performed a Big Boot on Amore for the win.[31]
After that, Cesaro and Sheamus defended the Raw Tag Team Championship against The Hardy Boyz in a 30-minute Iron Man match. At the start of the match, after Cesaro distracted Matt, Sheamus performed a "Brogue Kick" on Matt to make the score 1–0. Sheamus and Cesaro performed a "White Noise/Diving Neckbreaker" combination on Jeff to advance the score to 2–0. Jeff performed a "Twist of Fate" on Cesaro to make the score 2–1. After Cesaro threw Matt into the ring post, causing him to bleed, Matt was counted out, making the score 3–1. With the aid of Matt, Jeff pinned Cesaro with a split-legged pin to make the score 3–2. Matt performed a Super "Twist of Fate" on Sheamus to even the score 3–3. Thinking Sheamus was the legal man, Jeff performed a "Swanton Bomb" on him, but was quickly pinned by Cesaro, who was the legal man, to make the score 4–3. Jeff performed a "Twist of Fate" on Cesaro, but during the pin, the time-limit expired, meaning Cesaro and Sheamus retained the titles.[31]
Later, Alexa Bliss defended the Raw Women's Championship against Sasha Banks. Banks applied the "Bank Statement" but Bliss touched the ring rope. Bliss was then counted out, meaning Banks won the match, but Bliss retained the title. After the match, Banks fought with Bliss on the stage and performed a "Meteora" on Bliss off the English announce table.[31]
Next, The Miz (with his "Miztourage": Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas, and Maryse) defended the Intercontinental Championship against Dean Ambrose. Ambrose executed "Dirty Deeds" on Miz, only for Maryse to place Miz's foot on the rope at a two count. In the end, Axel distracted the referee, allowing Dallas to attack Ambrose. Miz then performed a "Skull Crushing Finale" on Ambrose to retain the title.[31]
After that, Roman Reigns faced Braun Strowman in an ambulance match. In the climax on the stage, Strowman attempted to throw Reigns into the LED light board but Reigns pushed Strowman into it, destroying a section of the LED light board. As Reigns then attempted a spear on Strowman, Strowman avoided it and Reigns fell into the ambulance. Strowman then quickly closed the doors to win the match. After the match, Reigns left the ambulance, performed a spear on Strowman, and threw him into the ambulance. Reigns then drove the ambulance into the parking garage, reversed the ambulance, and crashed it into a production truck, trapping Strowman inside. Reigns then left as General Manager Kurt Angle appeared in shock.[31]
Whilst backstage personnel and emergency services attended to Strowman,
Main event
In the main event, Brock Lesnar (accompanied by Paul Heyman) defended the Universal Championship against Samoa Joe. Before the match, Joe attacked Lesnar and performed a "Uranage Slam" on Lesnar through an announce table. After Lesnar recovered, the match officially started and Joe applied the "Coquina Clutch" on Lesnar, who escaped and performed three German Suplexes on Joe. Whilst the referee was distracted, Joe attacked Lesnar with a low blow and applied a second "Coquina Clutch" on Lesnar, who countered into a Sidewalk Slam. Lesnar attempted an "F-5" on Joe, who countered into the "Coquina Clutch" for the third time. However, Lesnar escaped and performed an "F-5" on Joe to retain the title.[31]
Reception
Though the name of the event received massive criticism on social media, the card and presentation were well-received, with the event being considered one of the better WWE pay-per-views of 2017.[32][31]
Aftermath
Roman Reigns' post-match attack on Braun Strowman was widely described as attempted murder.[33][1][34][35] The following day, it was reported that Strowman was in the care of his personal physician, but the severity of his injuries were undisclosed.[36]
On the post-Great Balls of Fire episode of Raw, General Manager Kurt Angle congratulated Brock Lesnar on retaining the Universal Championship. As Angle was about to reveal his plans for Lesnar's championship match at SummerSlam, they were interrupted by Roman Reigns. Reigns said that he took care of Braun Strowman, since Angle could not and Lesnar was never around to be able to. Reigns then said he wanted Lesnar at SummerSlam, but Lesnar said he did not deserve it. They were then interrupted by Samoa Joe. He claimed that Lesnar did not beat him, but escaped him at Great Balls of Fire. Angle then scheduled Reigns to face Joe the following week where the winner would face Lesnar for the title at SummerSlam,[37] however, the match ended in a no-contest after Strowman returned and attacked both,[38] and Angle scheduled a fatal four-way for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam.[39]
The Hardy Boyz addressed the Iron Man match. They said that due to their loss, other tag teams on Raw thought that they were done, but they said that they were not. They were then interrupted by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, who defeated The Hardys in an ensuing tag match. After that match, The Revival came out and also attacked The Hardy Boyz.[37]
The Miz hosted his own award show, The Mizzies, in response to retaining the Intercontinental Championship against Dean Ambrose. Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas tied for "Best Supporting Actor", Maryse won "Most Gorgeous Sexy Leading Lady", and The Miz won "Greatest Man in WWE". Ambrose then came out and immediately attacked Miz, but Axel and Dallas made the save. As Ambrose was getting beat down, Seth Rollins came out to help Ambrose, and the two cleared the ring. Later that night, Rollins faced Bray Wyatt in a rematch that Wyatt won. After the match, The Miztourage came out and attacked Rollins, who was saved by Ambrose.[37]
In the women's division, Sasha Banks and Bayley teamed up to face Nia Jax and Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss in a rematch from the previous week. Bayley rolled up Bliss for the win.[37] Bayley defeated Bliss the following week in a singles match,[38] and then defeated Banks to become the number one contender for the title at SummerSlam.[39] However, Bayley suffered an injury during a match against Jax on the July 31 episode,[40] removing her from the title match.[41] On the August 7 episode, Banks and Jax won their respective triple threat matches,[42] and Banks defeated Jax to earn a rematch against Bliss for the Raw Women's Championship at SummerSlam.[43]
In the cruiserweight division, Akira Tozawa and Cedric Alexander teamed up and faced Noam Dar and WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville where Tozawa pinned Neville to win the match.[37] The following night on 205 Live, Neville attacked Tozawa during Tozawa's match against Ariya Daivari.[44]
Big Cass gloated about defeating Enzo Amore. He said that he was the future of WWE and will eventually become Universal Champion. He was then interrupted by Big Show, who attacked Cass and threw Cass out of the ring.[37] Cass and Enzo had a rematch on the July 24 episode that was again won by Cass. After the match, Cass attacked Enzo further, but was saved by Big Show. However, Cass also took out Show.[39]
Great Balls of Fire would be a one-off event for WWE, as following WrestleMania 34 the following year, brand-exclusive PPVs were discontinued, resulting in WWE reducing the amount of yearly PPVs produced.[45]
