The RAW Reunion was a spectacular show last week as we saw several past Superstars in the squared circle. Without a shadow of a doubt, it was one of the biggest episodes of the year. The company will be eyeing to continue the good run this week.

Two big matches took place at RAW Reunion where Seth Rollins faced AJ Styles in one, and on the other side, Roman Reigns defeated Samoa Joe in a singles match. Things turned ugly between Becky Lynch and Natalya as the two women had a brawl last week. While the 24/7 title changed hands multiple times, the Fiend assaulted the WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley.

The upcoming RAW will be held at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, Arizona. Two gigantic matches are set to take place on the Red Brand this week. Dolph Ziggler will fight Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch will tussle with Alexa Biss in a non-title match.

Here we discuss three things WWE could be planning on RAW this week.


#3 Ricochet brings his own backup

There is no denying that the feud between AJ Styles and Ricochet has been awe-inspiring. Since the heel turn of the Phenomenal One, he has been ruthless. Moreover, Gallows and Anderson have been two major obstacles for Ricochet as the two men helped Styles to win the US Title at Extreme Rules.

While the former NXT North American Champion skipped RAW Reunion, he is expected to be present this week. If Ricochet faces Styles in a rematch at SummerSlam, the former needs to stop Gallows and Anderson, hence, Ricochet could bring his own back-up on RAW this week.

The Viking Raiders, who haven't been in RAW Tag Team Championship picture, could enter the rivalry. Furthermore, The Viking Raiders defeated Gallows and Anderson on RAW a few weeks ago. Considering Erik and Ivar are still unbeaten on the main roster, they could be an excellent backup for Ricochet and the latter will not get outnumbered.

#2 Samoa Joe vs Roman Reigns is made official for SummerSlam

Samoan Summit is set for Monday
Samoan Summit is set for Monday

Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe locked horns on RAW last week when the Big Dog was victorious. Following the match last week, the two men are set to meet each other on a 'Samoan Summit' this week. They are expected to clear out their differences this week.

Considering their colossal battle last week, the 'Samoan Summit' is not likely to be a smooth interaction. Since we are just a couple of weeks away from the 'Biggest Party of the Summer', WWE might move forward with this feud. Joe is a bad guy and it will not be surprising if he puts Reigns to sleep with a Coquina Clutch.

Joe and Reigns are no strangers to each other as they fought each other in the past. The former US Champion is a spectacular heel who brings out the best of the Big Dog. If the Samoan Summit turns ugly on the red brand, the match between Joe and Reigns could be confirmed for SummerSlam

#1 Drew McIntyre challenges The Undertaker at SummerSlam

Drew McIntyre and the Undertaker crossed paths at Extreme Rules where they faced each other in a Tag Team Match. Since the Undertaker has entered the feud, he might renew it till SummerSlam. Though several legendary Superstars were present at RAW Reunion, the Deadman was missing. Considering the Phenom was part of Extreme Rules, he is likely to compete at SummerSlam which is the biggest show of the Summer.

Following Extreme Rules, Shane McMahon is set to face Kevin Owens and McIntyre is searching for a new opponent. The Scottish Psychopath suffered a shocking loss against Cedric Alexander on the RAW after Extreme Rules, however, he avenged the loss by decimating the former Cruiserweight Superstar at RAW Reunion.

We are just two weeks away from SummerSlam and it will not be surprising if McIntyre calls out the Phenom on the red brand this week. The two men could deliver an astounding rivalry. Considering McIntyre is one of the heels of the company, the feud could elevate his stature in WWE.
