With just three episodes left until SummerSlam, the WWE presents Monday Night RAW live this week from the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif.
CM Punk Trains With Comedian Mark Maron On IFC Show
Brock Lesnar and his mouthpiece Paul Heyman return to the flagship show this week as The Beast hypes his upcoming WrestleMania XXX rematch with The Undertaker, which takes place at SummerSlam on Aug. 23 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The Demon from Death Valley is not expected to appear this week.
Seth Rollins, Other Superstars Lash Out At UFC President Dana White
Another big name that likely won't be in attendance is United States Champion John Cena, as he suffered a legitimate broken nose at the hands of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins last week on RAW.
It's unknown what the plans are for The Architect now that his projected SummerSlam opponent is sidelined and has been pulled from several shows. Tonight, the WWE Universe will find out what's next for Rollins.
With the passing of WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper on Friday, a tribute should also be expected.
The tag team division is also heating up as the WWE is teasing that a new team is set to step up to WWE Tag Team Champions The Prime Time Players amid rumors that a multi-man match could be made for SummerSlam.
Speaking of titles, Intercontinental Champion Ryback (staph infection) remains sidelined as The Miz continues to campaign for the belt to be forfeited while he also has some unfinished business with The Big Show.
There are several other rivalries in the midcard scene as well as Neville and Stardust have been at odds with one another and Kevin Owens and Cesaro have also had their run-ins recently. Both of these feuds are sure to escalate on this week's show.
Another big angle is happening between the reunited Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper) and former Shield members Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. All signs point to the WWE building to a tag team altercation between the two factions on Aug. 23.
Over in the Divas division, Nikki Bella enters Day 251 as Divas Champion and Team Bella is sure to be plenty busy on the WWE's flagship show. Nikki and her sister Brie may be down a team member as Alicia Fox sustained a mild concussion on last week's episode.
With Team B.A.D. (Naomi, Tamina and NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks) and the trio of Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch all looking to make an impact, it's an interesting time for the division right now.
With 20 days until SummerSlam, the WWE will likely continue to add matches to the card as storylines play out this week.
As The Biggest Party of the Summer looms later this month, it should be a very interesting episode of WWE Monday Night RAW this week in sunny California.
