This week marks a very special night where WWE tries to sum up the ongoing rivalries so to culminate them in one of the ‘big-four’ PPVs of the year. This Sunday marks the return of Summerslam with the 32nd edition and WWE Raw will be presenting the go-home episode, tonight. So a number of surprises and swerves may be waiting for us when on the show.

Brock Lesnar will be the biggest attraction of this week’s WWE Raw as he is set to appear on two back to back episodes. We’ll learn whether his Summerslam opponent is okay to compete as he gears up for the next title defense. The rivalry over the women’s championship is becoming more personal than ever which will witness the final chapter before their clash. Also, the fun segments around the 24/7 Championship will continue on the show that emanates from the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Before any of the final episode of big-four events, Brock Lesnar is a must-feature on WWE Raw. There would no exception tonight as the beast will show up to address his opponent. Last week, he destroyed Seth Rollins completely, forcing him to go to the hospital. So, WWE.com questioned whether he would be showing up to seek redemption,
“Rollins underwent a series of evaluations at a local medical facility but refused to disclose any details regarding his medical condition to WWE Digital. As such, and given Rollins’ silence since that night, it remains to be seen what kind of damage The Beast Incarnate doled out to his SummerSlam challenger. Lesnar will be in the house for the final Raw before SummerSlam. Will The Kingslayer also make an appearance?”
We all know Seth Rollins as a fighting champion who will not back down from confronting the beast incarnate. Before heading into Summerslam, WWE Raw from Pittsburgh is the last chance where he can deliver a message to the Conqueror. So his presence is a must on the show despite which condition his body is in, right now. We expect another physical fight to break out between the two of them on tonight.

Another burning speculation going around the WWE is about Roman Reigns who escaped the deadliest attack on Smackdown Live. Someone intentionally tried to bury him under a steel structure but interviewer Kayla Braxton’s warning saved him on the spot. WWE.com provided the following update on this situation,
“In the closing moments of Tuesday night’s SmackDown LIVE, improperly secured lighting equipment nearly crushed Roman Reigns, and although an investigation determined that the near-catastrophe was caused by forklift driver error, speculation abounds that someone was specifically targeting The Big Dog. If that’s the case, who could have been responsible?”

It’s evident that the scripted attack happened on Smackdown so to set up a matchup for Roman Reigns at Summerslam. The question remains who the man could be behind this. Samoa Joe, Drew McIntyre or Shane McMahon are the predictable names considering their history with the Big Dog. But insider scoops hint that it was Daniel Bryan who conducted the misdeed so to start a rivalry against the franchise player of the WWE.
In the WWE Raw women’s championship picture, Becky Lynch and Natalya are having quite an intense rivalry over the past couple of weeks. The challenger has thrown some nasty comments over the champion and also pledged to convert the Summerslam title match into a Submission match. Tonight, Becky will accept it to make the match official and thereby fire back to the Queen of Harts before their clash on Sunday.
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson capture WWE Raw Tag Team Titles the past Monday night by winning a Triple Threat Match. Their leader AJ Styles already has the US title around his waist meaning all the OCs have golds around them. As they look forward to taking over the flagship show with their dominance, the question remains whether Ricochet will be able to fend them off, on his own. A fightback from the One and Only seems much-needed before he collides with AJ at Summerslam.
Plus, we anticipate some hilarious interactions around the WWE 24/7 Championship. Last week on WWE Raw, we received the first-ever pregnant champion of WWE in the form of Maria Kanellis. With a child in her belly, no superstar was brave enough to challenge for the title. Will she receive an opponent, tonight? We’ll get to know when the show airs tonight from Pittsburgh.
