RAW Preview: Surprise title change, Goldberg to make incredible SummerSlam announcement? (August 5th, 2019)

Welcome to this week's edition of WWE RAW Preview! It's the final episode of RAW before WWE SummerSlam 2019 and we know that something special is going to happen. The build to the PPV, despite being just a few weeks, has actually been really good.

Had the RAW Reunion not happened, we likely would have gotten a slightly better build to the show, but either way, the card looks great on paper and we're all set to wrap things up as we kickstart SummerSlam week.

Last week, the show was action-packed from start to finish as Mike Kanellis won the 24/7 Championship, only to be pinned by his wife Maria, who is now the first pregnant 24/7 Championship.

A few matches were confirmed, but it's very likely that we'll have quite a few more announced tonight, incluing the Women's Tag Team title match. Either way, there is going to be a very interesting follow-up from last week and here's what you need to look forward to!

#5. Will the OCs Celebration be interrupted by Ricochet?

The OCs haven't looked this good in 3 years and now, all three of them are championship holders. On last week's episode of RAW, two major things happened with regards to AJ Styles and The OC - Firstly, Gallows & Anderson finally won the RAW Tag Team Championship again and Ricochet won a gauntlet match to earn the right to face AJ Styles at SummerSlam 2019.

While Styles vs Ricochet is going to be an absolute banger, we know that The OC are going to try to celebrate their championship triumph tonight. The question is as to whether Ricochet will be the one to spoil the party for the trio.

Will he manage to get their number or will the numbers game catch up to the One and Only superstar.

#4. What is the fate of WWE's first pregnant champion?

The 24/7 Championship has taken all sorts of new twists and turns, but last week's twist was perhaps the biggest of them all - and we've seen the title change hands in a golf course, inside a hotel room, over the ocean and more, but a pregnant woman becoming champion certainly didn't seem like it would be in the realm of possibility - until last week.

After their "Mosh pit" intergender tag team match, R-Truth was pinned by Mike Kanellis, who became 24/7 Champion in the process. His wife Maria asked him to lie down for her and she now flaunts the title knowing that no man will touch a pregnant woman.

Drake Maverick, on the other hand, has other ideas. He has openly stated his intention to pin her and we believe that he will pin her to win the 24/7 title in shocking fashion.

#3. Will Becky Lynch and Natalya's rivalry take a new turn?

It's safe to say that Natalya and Becky Lynch aren't exactly friends, even though Natalya did show respect at first. From the look of things, Becky Lynch just isn't interested in friendships and alliances and that has resulted in her feud with Natalya being a heated one.

Interestingly enough, Natalya showed no hesitation in showing her nasty side as she attacked Becky Lynch post-match. It wasn't just one match that Becky Lynch had competed in, but two!

Now, the two are finally set to go head-to-head at the biggest party of the summer and before that, things are undoubtedly going to get a little heated between the two. The question is as to whether WWE's surprisingly useless security team can seperate the two women from each other less than a week before their big championship match.

#2. How injured is Seth Rollins heading into RAW?

Last week, any semblance of an advantage that Seth Rollins had at SummerSlam went away. He faced Dolph Ziggler in a rematch from SummerSlam 2018, but he was stopped in his tracks mid-match as The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar interjected and made his presence known.

While Ziggler managed to get away, Seth Rollins was brutalised and viticimised courtesy of a top-class beatdown. It was exactly the kind of beatdown you'd expect from Brock Lesnar, but this one seemed to cross the line and even made Paul Heyman plead Lesnar to stop, which he finally did.

Seth Rollins was then taken on a stretcher to a local medical facility and we're not sure if he's going to appear on RAW tonight. We hope for his sake that he stays away and doesn't get another beatdown, because Brock Lesnar will be present tonight and he's set to make a statement!

#1. Will Goldberg swoop in to make an announcement?

We're not going to mince our words about it - Goldberg at Super ShowDown 2019 was absolutely embarassing to watch and painful to look at. He clearly seemed to have all sorts of ring rust and didn't look anything like the Goldberg of 2016-17, let alone the Goldberg of old.

Either way, there has been one superstar who hasn't been able to keep Goldberg's name out of his mouth - Dolph Ziggler. Although he's scheduled to face The Miz at the biggest party of the summer, we have a feeling that the scheduled match is going to be shelled in favour of a much more interesting match-up: Goldberg vs Dolph Ziggler.

Goldberg hasn't been sitting around and not listening to all of this. You can be assured that Goldberg, if he does arrive, will come in all guns blazing and announce a return for SummerSlam.
