WWE Announces Major Surprises for Tonight’s RAW

The landscape of the World Heavyweight Championship picture will gain clarity on this Monday’s episode of WWE RAW, which is set to feature a high-stakes gauntlet match. The bout will include Bron Breakker, CM Punk, Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Penta. The winner will earn a championship opportunity against Gunther at SummerSlam, which takes place on August 2-3 at MetLife Stadium.

This pivotal match comes in the aftermath of two major weekend events, WWE Evolution 2 and Saturday Night’s Main Event. The field of contenders includes Jey Uso, who previously traded the World Title with Gunther, and LA Knight, who is a possible replacement for Seth Rollins after Rollins sustained a knee injury at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Gunther himself is scheduled to be present in Birmingham, Alabama, to observe the gauntlet match and scout his next challenger. The champion heads into this crucial period following a successful title defense against Goldberg at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The women’s division will also see significant developments. The new Women’s World Champion, Naomi, will make her first appearance on RAW since her victory and is scheduled to address the WWE Universe. Naomi captured the title at Evolution 2 by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract, pinning IYO SKY in a match that also involved Rhea Ripley.

Additionally, the show will feature the in-ring return of Nikki Bella, who is set to compete in her first singles match on RAW in seven years. Her opponent will be Chelsea Green. This episode is a critical stop as the company moves through a compressed schedule toward SummerSlam, with the night’s events expected to have an immediate impact on the summer’s biggest rivalries.
