Top storylines to watch on WWE Raw tonight (July 13, 2026): Roman Reigns & Brock Lesnar's return; Maxxine Dupri joins the Vision & more

Iyo Sky will battle Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez on this week’s Raw.

The July 13 edition of WWE Raw is set to air live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The upcoming edition will serve as the go-home show for the July 18 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, which will emanate from MSG.

After being absent from the July 6 edition in Chicago, both the World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar are confirmed to appear this week. On the other hand, a gauntlet match to decide Penta’s SummerSlam opponent has also been announced.

Also on the card is a singles clash between Iyo Sky and Roxanne Perez, while Bayley has challenged Lyra Valkyria to meet her face-to-face. Let us now take a look at the top four storylines that might unravel on this Monday’s WWE Raw in Texas.

4. Gauntlet match

A gauntlet match this week will determine the new number one contender for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Dragon Lee, Rusev, Ethan Page, Dominik Mysterio, Je’Von Evans, Joe Hendry, and Chad Gable are set to compete, with the winner earning a championship match against Penta at SummerSlam.

The match has all the necessary things to steal the show and will likely do so; however, with multiple storylines clashing, it will be intriguing to see who comes out on top and whether previous alliances manage to survive.

3. Maxxine Dupri’s addition

After Austin Theory’s ultimatum two weeks ago, Maxxine Dupri made up her mind, interfering in the World Tag Team title match, attacking Angelo Dawkins of the Street Profits to aid Theory and Bron Breakker in capturing the titles in the rematch.

Following the win, Dupri leaped into Theory’s army and kissed him, signalling another Liv-Dominik-esque storyline. With Paul Heyman losing interest and faith in the faction, Dupri’s addition might be the one to bring him back in the fold once again and might revive the faction, plagued by injuries.

2. Women’s World title

Last week, after aiding Sol Ruca against the Judgment Day and taking out Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez, Iyo Sky will battle Roxanne Perez in singles action on the July 13 show. Notably, this match comes in the backdrop of Iyo’s showdown with Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan at SummerSlam.

With Iyo taking on Liv’s Judgment Day, the Women’s World Champion is likely going to be in the mix and hungry for revenge after last week’s humiliation. Now the real question is: will we see another beatdown by the Judgment Day, or will Sol Ruca return the favor?

1. Confrontations before SummerSlam

As noted above, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar are set to appear on Monday. Reigns is set to defend the title against Seth Rollins, while Lesnar will take on Oba Femi in a rubber match; this time, they will collide in a Hell in a Cell match.

What’s more interesting is that both the challengers, Rollins and Femi, cut scathing promos last week in Reigns and Lesnar’s absence, and now it’s time for the latter two to respond as the Road to SummerSlam heats up.
