Building things up for the returning Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE Raw will deliver this week’s edition with multiple matches already announced for the show. In one of the headliners of the night, Rhea Ripley will return to singles action since suffering an orbital bone injury about a month ago.
Continuing her feud with Liv Morgan, Ripley will take on the former’s cohort Raquel Rodriguez in a singles contest, this week. Last Monday night, the team of Morgan and Raquel defeated IYO SKY and Kairi Sane in a tag team match. After the match, Rodriguez continued attacking the two Damage CTRL members which led Ripley to make the save.
