The WWE Universe is buzzing with anticipation as SummerSlam approaches! This Monday's Raw is stacked with must-see appearances and matches, promising a thrilling lead-up to the summer's biggest wrestling event.
Roman Reigns Returns to Address Paul Heyman
"The Tribal Chief," Roman Reigns, is set to appear live in Houston. After his explosive return last week where he decimated Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, all eyes are on Reigns as he's expected to confront his former "Wiseman," Paul Heyman. Heyman infamously betrayed Reigns by aligning with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41, making this confrontation highly anticipated.
What are Reigns' plans for SummerSlam? Rumors are swirling about a potential one-on-one battle with Bron Breakker – a clash of titans billed as a "battle of the spears." This would be a significant match for Reigns, marking only his third singles competition in the last 19 months, highlighting WWE's high regard for Breakker.
WWE is teasing Reigns' appearance with the moniker "OTC," which stands for Original Tribal Chief or "Only The Chosen 1." The WWE preview states, "The OTC is set to address his one-time Special Counsel, Paul Heyman."
CM Punk Set to Speak Before SummerSlam Clash
CM Punk will also be on Raw to discuss his upcoming World Title match at SummerSlam against Gunther. However, the question remains: how long will Punk get to speak before "The Ring General" interrupts?
Becky Lynch's Proposal for Lyra Valkyria
Lyra Valkyria, the No. 1 contender for the Women’s Intercontinental Title after defeating Bayley, will hear a "proposal" from Champion Becky Lynch before their SummerSlam match. Since Valkyria is already engaged, speculation suggests it's not a marriage proposal, but something related to the match itself.
