WWE will begin setting up matches and storylines for SummerSlam on tonight’s Monday Night Raw broadcast.
Dave Meltzer reported this evening that Brock Lesnar is scheduled to be at Raw tonight to do an angle that will set up a match with Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. Both men have wins over each other and while speaking with Ariel Helwani after Money In The Bank, Rhodes said that he wanted to see Lesnar return to work so they can have their rubber match.
Rhodes said the following after Helwani asked him what is next:
“I would love it, absolutely love it if Brock Lesnar would come back to work. I’d absolutely love it. I don’t think he’s going to though. Initially, we said hey, I’ll be in every city right? I gave him my dates, right. I’m about to post those dates again for July. I give them every date. I think Brock’s annual hiatus might be who knows. And I’m not saying Brock is afraid of me because I really don’t think Brock is afraid of anybody, he’s Brock Lesnar, but Brock may not want to get back into this. He defeated me at Night of Champions. A lot of people would like to go out on a whim and go out on a high. That may be it for Brock, but I’d love it if Brock came back because to me it’s so weird to leave it at one on one. We’ll see if not Brock, that’s a more interesting question. What happens and who’s next and what’s next?”
The only thing advertised for tonight’s show is Natalya challenging Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship. Reddit insider kermit125 noted earlier that there will be a Tag Team Turmoil match tonight to determine the number 1 contender for the Women’s Tag Team Titles.
