This week’s episode of WWE Raw will emanate from Philadelphia!
The final show from the main roster before WWE travels to Europe ahead of Clash in Paris will further intensify the build-up. The August 18 episode of Monday Night Raw is set to air live from the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Second City Saint’ CM Punk is set for an appearance on this week’s show, while Xavier Woods is looking to settle a costly dispute with Penta. The New Day star claims Penta owes him $18,000 for ruining what he calls his ‘favorite hat.’ They will now settle this dispute in a one-on-one match this week.
Will Roman Reigns & Naomi appear on WWE Raw this week?

Yes, both Roman Reigns and Naomi are confirmed for an appearance on the 08/18 show of the Red brand in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Following the vicious beatdown on the August 4 episode of WWE Raw by Seth Rollins and Company, Reigns will appear on this week’s show.
The promotion has been pushing his feud with Bronson Reed, ‘The Tribal Thief’, and Reigns being advertised for the go-home show of Clash in Paris likely means a clash between the two at the PLE.
Reports also suggest that WWE is saving the eventual clash between Reigns and Rollins for a future PLE, and the OTC will likely confront or attack Reed on this week’s show.
Naomi will address her future in this week’s appearance
Women’s World Champion Naomi was set to defend the title against Iyo Sky last week. However, the match was cancelled as the Champion was not cleared for in-ring action. Since then, there has been no update on her situation.
Joe Tessitore, on the August 15 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, announced that Naomi will make an appearance on Raw to ‘sound off on the state of the Women’s World Championship’. Sky is likely going to confront Naomi if this is a rouse by the Champion, and if she’s really hurt, the title picture is going to shake up ahead of the PLE.
