Monday Night Raw returns to your screens tonight with a new episode coming live from the Nutter Center in Dayton, OH.
We sit just 19 days from SummerSlam in Cleveland and plenty of marquee matchups for the card have yet to be announced. That’s bound to change on tonight’s show as we inch closer to the company’s biggest show of the summer.

What to watch for on Monday Night Raw
- Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan defeated Rey Mysterio and Zelina Vega in last week’s main event, marking Dom’s very first victory over his father. Just as he and the Women’s World Champion were about to kiss, Rhea Ripley made her surprise return and confronted him in the ring as the show went off the air. Ripley will kick off the show tonight and will address what’s been going on between Liv, Dom, and the Judgement Day.
- Speaking of Judgement Day, World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest will go face-to-face with Gunther ahead of their title match at SummerSlam. We haven’t heard much from the “Ring General” since he won King of the Ring back in May, so we’ll hear what he has to say to the champ. Also noteworthy is that Priest promised Seth Rollins a title shot should he get past Gunther at SummerSlam.
- Drew McIntyre will return to Raw to address CM Punk. Punk ruined McIntyre’s Money in the Bank cash-in attempt, causing the Scottish Warrior to go ballistic and attack several WWE officials including Adam Pearce after the show. He was suspended for last week’s episode of Raw, so we’ll hear what he has to say. Punk also gave Pearce his word that he will not show up to tonight’s show.
- Sami Zayn will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Ilja Dragunov. Looming over this match is Bron Breakker, who attacked Sami in a promo segment before getting himself disqualified in his match against Dragunov later in the night. We’ll see if we get a clean finish.
- Sheamus go one-on-one with Bronson Reed.
Nick Simon’s predictions for tonight’s episode
- Ripley expresses her disappointment and anger with the Judgement Day for associating with Morgan, driving a further wedge within the group. Dominik remains conflicted, adding an extra layer to the inevitable Morgan-Ripley title match.
- Priest and Gunther’s segment doesn’t end with both guys getting physical as there’s mutual respect between the two ahead of their match at SummerSlam. Priest wants to continue to prove himself as a worthy champion.
- McIntyre-Punk is made official for SummerSlam with some kind of no hold’s barred/unsanctioned stipulation. Pearce makes a caveat that the two cannot get physical ahead of the match or risk being fired.
- Zayn-Dragunov ends in a no contest after Breakker unsurprisingly interferes. A triple-threat between the three is made for SummerSlam.
