The hypes around this week’s WWE Raw have gone higher. We can definitely expect firecrackers from the show whenever the commissioner comes back. It will be after two months that she will return with a historical announcement on her show. This, itself makes the show a must-watch for the fans.
But the main event of the show is no less. Two prime superstars from WWE Raw will be locking horns to capture the contender’s spot for the Universal Championship.
Plus, there will be another Extreme Rules rematch where the tag team titles will be on the line. All of these will take place when the show comes live at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The headlining name for tonight’s episode of WWE Raw is none other than Stephanie McMahon. She is coming back with a historic announcement alongside her, as per the updates from WWE. Rumors are running wild on this topic ever since the Twitter handle of the company confirmed this news.

Insider scoops suggest this announcement will be regarding the women’s division, again. She is most likely to confirm the all-women PPV event in the near future. Or else, we will hear the introduction of the women’s tag team division featuring both WWE Raw and Smackdown female superstars.
If this happens then, Sasha Banks and Bayley will be the first two in line to challenge for these titles. The previous rumoured suggested they are likely to get a singles contest at Summerslam. But now it looks like; the feud will come to an abrupt end. Their bond will be back together to make history at the next PPV.
Stephanie McMahon will also supervise things on WWE Raw to stir things around. Her appointed Constable Baron Corbin will bring the matter of Ronda Rousey to her. Rousey is getting a title shot despite trespassing the show, last week. So there will be consequences.
Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss will try to put bait on WWE Raw to bring Ronda Rousey on the show. If somehow she gets success in doing so then Ronda will lose her opportunity for the championship at Summerslam. So, either way, the night is likely to bring some bad news to the Rowdy Superstar.
The main event between Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley is likely to end in a disqualified or count-out fashion. It will eliminate the chances of a Reigns vs Lesnar bout at Summerslam. Instead, it is going to be a triple threat among all these three names.
Hardy and Wyatt will get their rematch for the WWE Raw tag team championships. But they are not going to recapture the title just eight days later. Instead, their miscommunication will sot this title opportunity setting up a singles contest between them at Summerslam.
