With just six nights until WWE SummerSlam, all eyes in the WWE Universe will be on Monday Night RAW this week live from the Target Center in Minneapolis.
After taking off last week, The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar return to the company's flagship show with the final hype for their epic encounter this Sunday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. "The Beast" will be returning to his hometown as he prepares to conquer "The Deadman" again after ending his streak at WrestleMania XXX in April 2014.
The WWE has teased that Lesnar and The Undertaker may very well get into a brawl, much like they did last month when they were both on RAW.
Superstars that are advertised for this week's show include WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, United States Champion John Cena, Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, Big Show, Bray Wyatt and Kane.
Paige Lauds Triple H For His Impact On The Divas Revolution
Cena is rumored to appear on RAW this week for the first time since suffering a broken nose by Rollins on the July 27 edition of the show. The Cenation leader appeared on Tough Enough last Tuesday and accepted "The Architect's" challenge for SummerSlam.
This week will mark the final build up to their title-for-title, winner-take-all match at "The Biggest Party of the Summer."
Monday will also see the latest chapter in the rivalry between The Wyatt Family and former Shield members Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.
There was a lot of speculation earlier this month that Sting would be involved in the storyline, but the WWE has seemingly dropped that idea. Still, anything can happen in the WWE and a last-minute appearance by "The Vigilante" was originally planned for this week's show.
The Intercontinental Championship scene is also heating up as defending champion Ryback awaits his Triple Threat Match with The Miz and The Big Show in six nights. Who will gain the most momentum heading into the three-way battle?
Other rivalries that will be at the forefront of this week's show include the budding feud between Kevin Owens and Cesaro as well as the war between Stardust and Neville. Stardust is set to team with King Barrett to take on "The Man That Gravity Forgot" and "Arrow" star Stephen Amell at SummerSlam. Amell is not rumored to appear this week after mixing it up seven nights ago.
The WWE is also teasing that Randy Orton should watch his back as Sheamus is gunning for him and Lana will get her revenge on Rusev and Summer Rae following last week's attack.
Over in the tag division, The Prime Time Players will look to keep up momentum as they prepare to face three other teams this Sunday at SummerSlam.
The Divas Revolution is also sure to continue as Nikki Bella reaches Day 267 as Divas Champion and Paige will look to make a splash on her 23rd birthday. With Team Bella, Team P.C.B. and Team B.A.D. all set to face one another at SummerSlam, this week will mark their last chance to shine before the big event.
With only six nights until SummerSlam, Monday Night RAW is sure to be explosive this week in Minneapolis.
