It’s going to be an action-packed night in Detroit as WWE Raw rolls into the Little Caesars Arena just days before the highly anticipated SummerSlam event. Fans can tune in at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) on Netflix to catch all the chaos unfold.
Roman Reigns and Jey Uso Set the Tone for SummerSlam
Roman Reigns will make a brief stop in Detroit, as he prepares for his tag team bout at MetLife Stadium on Saturday. After standing tall last week, Reigns and Jey Uso dared Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to prove themselves in the ring.
This week, Jey Uso will clash with Big Bronson Reed in a preview of what’s to come. The Motor City crowd will get a chance to acknowledge their Tribal Chief before he heads into battle this weekend.
Meanwhile, the tension between these rising superstars and Reigns’ legacy makes this match one of Raw’s most anticipated moments tonight.
CM Punk Confronts Gunther Ahead of Title Match
The ever-unpredictable CM Punk will also appear live in Detroit tonight. With just six days before he battles Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, Punk is expected to speak his mind and possibly get under his opponent’s skin.
CM Punk has made a habit of shaking things up whenever he has a mic. The big question remains—will Gunther let his fists do the talking, or return fire with some choice words of his own?
This faceoff could set the tone for their title clash and bring even more heat to an already intense rivalry.
Becky Lynch and Women’s Title Picture Heats Up
Becky Lynch has not been officially confirmed for tonight’s show, but her presence is expected in Detroit. After she interfered in a tag match last Monday, costing Bayley and Lyra Valkyria a title shot, Lynch may have some fallout to deal with.
That interference also meant Bayley was left off the SummerSlam card. Meanwhile, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez prepare to defend their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships against Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss this Sunday.
Tonight’s Raw may provide more clues on how this bitter feud will shape the SummerSlam narrative in the women’s division.
Judgment Day, 8-Woman Tag Match and Full WWE Raw Lineup
Detroit will also see Judgment Day’s Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh put their World Tag Team Championships on the line against LWO’s Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro.
In one of the night’s biggest matchups, an 8-Woman Tag Team bout will feature Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY teaming up with Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella. They’ll go against Naomi, Chelsea Green, Piper Niven, and Alba Fyre.
With names like Gunther, Roman Reigns, and AJ Styles already advertised, expect more matches and surprises as the final Raw before SummerSlam gets underway.
