The upcoming edition of WWE Raw, which will take place at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, is set to be aired on SyFy, owing to the concurrent Olympics schedule. Here’s a rundown of the WWE.com’s official preview for this much-anticipated event:
Tonight’s episode promises excitement as Seth Rollins is scheduled to deliver referee instructions to CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. The escalating dissension between Punk and McIntyre has seemingly drawn Rollins into the disturbing mess as the guest referee for their match at SummerSlam. Now, all three wrestling stars are set to come face-to-face in the ring. The ensuing confrontation is expected to be heavy with hostility as Rollins renders his refereeing brief to Punk and McIntyre. The resulting events will indeed be one to watch.
In other news, Lyra Valkyria, Katana Chance, and Kayden Carter are teaming up against the formidable trio of Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler, and Zoey Stark. These determined wrestlers have been locked in various clashes against each other recently. The upcoming six-woman tag team match is bound to be a thrilling encounter. Will this new alliance withstand the strength of their robust nemeses?
Moving on to the next highlight, Xavier Woods is poised to fight against Karrion Kross in a continuation of their ongoing rivalry. Having lost his tag team partner, Kofi Kingston, to Kross’s hostile group, Woods now faces a robust challenge. While he has previously defeated Kross, last week’s six-man tag team match with Otis and Akira Tozawa ended in disappointment. Can Woods finally overcome his adversary?
Finally, Gunther is set to face Finn Bálor in preparation for his upcoming SummerSlam title match against World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest. These powerful European wrestlers will clash for the first time, escalating the anticipation for an epic battle. Can Bálor disrupt Gunther’s plans to claim the World Heavyweight Title from The Judgment Day?
