Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins & The Vision set to appear

Following the vicious beatdown on the August 4 episode of Raw by Seth Rollins and Company, ‘The OTC’ Roman Reigns is set to appear on this week’s show.

Reigns is advertised for the next week’s show too, leading up to Clash in Paris and all signs points towards him battling ‘The Tribal Thief’ Bronson Reed. Reigns will likely confront Reed in his appearance at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Additionally, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins is also set to appear alongside The Vision (Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed).

CM Punk set to appear

‘The Second City Saint’ CM Punk kicked off the show last week and was confronted by LA Knight for costing him the title match against Seth Rollins last week.

Paul Heyman interrupted the segment alongside Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, leading to a tag team match between the four in the main event. However, the main event clash ended in disqualification as Rollins attacked Punk and then started beating down both Knight and Punk.

This led Jey Uso to dart in with a steel chair and aid the two stars. GM Adam Pearce then announced that Rollins will defend the WWE World Heavyweight title in a fatal four-way match against Jey, Knight and Punk. The Second City Saint will now make an appearance, likely cutting a promo hyping up the match.

Xavier Woods vs Penta

During the August 11 episode, Austin Theory and the New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) confronted GM Adam Pearce. Woods and Kingston asked Pearce to take care of the ‘Penta problem’ with Woods pointing out that the hat that Penta tried to destroy was over $ 12,000. Theory even asked to take care of the problem or pay for the hat himself.

However, Pearce was in no mood to hear that if Woods has a problem with Penta, he can deal with it in a singles match with Penta. The two stars will now settle the score in this week’s show.

Naomi set to address her future

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’. The Champion will likely provide an update in her appearance.

Becky Lynch vs Natalya – Women’s Intercontinental title match

Following her successful title defense against Maxxine Dupri, Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch is set to defend the title again against Dupri’s tag partner, Natalya who originally challenged her for a match on the August 4 episode. However, Lynch chose Dupri for the clash and defeated her with ease and attacked Natalya after the match on last week’s show.

Additionally, Jey Uso is set to battle Bron Breakker in a singles match, while Iyo Sky will clash against Raquel Rodriguez.
