WWE Raw is set to air tonight from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, as the promotion ramps up to its major events, Saturday Night’s Main Event and Evolution 2. This episode serves as the final build-up before the events scheduled for July 12 and July 13, making it crucial for storyline developments and match hype.
A range of matches has been announced for tonight’s Raw, including:
– Kairi Sane vs. Roxanne Perez
– Jey Uso vs. Bronson Reed
– Sami Zayn vs. Bron Breakker
– Penta vs. Seth Rollins
Additionally, fan-favorite Becky Lynch will be making an appearance live to discuss her upcoming defense of the women’s Intercontinental title against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria at Evolution 2. This segment may lead to some chaotic interactions, especially considering the tension from last week when officials had to step in to contain a brawl.
Notably absent from the announcements is Goldberg, whose retirement match against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER at Saturday’s event raises questions about his presence on Raw. His previous return on the June 16 episode was meant to garner interest, but speculation about his participation tonight remains. Analysts wonder if WWE has a surprise planned to elevate excitement around his last match, or if they prefer to keep him sidelined considering his physical status.
Looking ahead to the match card, it’s essential to monitor developments related to several parallel storylines. Roxanne Perez is stepping up with a point to prove now that she’s replaced Liv Morgan as tag champion and has a grudge against Kairi Sane, who injured Morgan. The match promises high stakes given the motivations at play.
In the women’s tag team championship picture, the remaining participant for the four-way match at Evolution 2 is still unannounced, leaving room for speculation around potential appearances, such as from former champions Asuka.
Other intriguing storylines to follow include Dominik Mysterio’s underhanded advantages against AJ Styles, the potential for WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella to enter the Battle Royal, and how former League of Nations member Sheamus intends to respond to last week’s outcomes.
WWE Raw looks promising with various angles heading into what could be a classic weekend of wrestling action. Fans can anticipate surprises, intense matches, and evolving rivalries as the company gears up for two big nights.
