WWE Raw will present the 30th-anniversary episode, next week with a loaded match card where two title matches will serve as co-main-event bouts. United States and Raw Tag Team Titles will be on the line on the same night as confirmed by the WWE.
Austin Theory will defend his United States Championship against Bobby Lashley to continue their feud from last year. Lashley prevailed in a six-way elimination match on last night’s main event match on WWE Raw to emerge as the new number-one contender for Theory’s title.

The match featured Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, and Baron Corbin in the lineup. During the finishing stages of the match, Theory who sat ringside for commentary downed Lashley with his title belt, giving Rollins the advantage. However, Omos and MVP’s presence distracted Rollins who was also busy taking out Theory. This allowed Lashley to nails Rollins with a spear for the pin to win.

The presence of Omos and MVP in favor of Lashley teased a Hurt Business reunion on WWE Raw during the six-pack challenge. It will be interesting to see if MVP and Omos will once again get involved in next week’s Theory vs. Lashley title match.
In another confirmed title match, The Usos will defend their WWE Raw Tag Team Championships against The Judgment Day’s Damian Prest and Dominik Mysterio. Priest and Mysterio won the number-one contenders match, last week to earn the title match opportunity.

Apart from this match, Becky Lynch will wrestle long-term rival Bayley in a Steel Cage Match on next week’s WWE Raw. Besides, The Bloodline will be in attendance at an Acknowledgement Ceremony.
