WWE RAW Preview: 6th August, 2018

RAW will see some major repercussions for last week

With just two more episodes of RAW heading into SummerSlam, things are set to heat up on the red brand. Kurt Angle announced Ronda Rousey's in-ring debut on RAW against Alicia Fox while Finn Balor and Constable Corbin have unfinished business. Braun Strowman will be looking to get one back after Jinder Mahal gained a "technical" victory over him.

What technical victory? By count-out, of course! With Kevin Owens lingering around Strowman looking to take his Money In The Bank contract, a quick distraction from him helped the Modern Day Maharaja gain a surprising count-out victory!

Despite what some might say, Elias probably had the roughest two weeks of any WWE superstar(sorry Paul Heyman!). After being constantly interrupted throughout RAW two weeks ago, things weren't made any better when Bobby Lashley decided to interfere and had a tune of his own.

Titus Worldwide continued to get the upper hand over Authors of Pain as Apollo Crews defeated Akam in his first ever singles match in WWE last week. But will the Authors Of Pain prove to Titus Worldwide why they were so dominant in NXT?

It's the penultimate episode of RAW to SummerSlam and things are going to get rough and intense between the WWE superstars feuding with each other. Here's what you need to look forward to, this RAW:


#5 Ronda Rousey makes her RAW in-ring debut

Ente
Ronda Rousey requested Alicia Fox and she didn't want to wait!

In what may be the biggest in-ring debut in the history of Monday Night RAW, Ronda Rousey will take on Alicia Fox. How did this match come to pass?

Last week, Ronda Rousey cornered her training partner Natalya in her match against Alicia Fox. Fox was cornered by RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss, who just so happens to be defending her title against Rousey at SummerSlam.

After a lot of antics and chaos outside the ring, Alicia Fox was able to take advantage of the distraction and pick up the win over Natalya. Outraged backstage, Rousey requested a match against Alicia Fox, but she didn't want to wait. So General Manager Kurt Angle was happy to oblige and made the match against Alicia Fox for tonight's RAW.

Will Rousey prevail in her in-ring debut or will Alexa Bliss once again cause more trouble?

#4 Bobby Roode takes on Mojo Rawley

Enter
Bobby Roode took exception to Mojo Rawley's demeaning comments

Mojo Rawley has been on a mean streak and has been quite vocal about his disdain for the locker room. Bobby Roode, however, has taken exception to that and their differences led to a locker room brawl last week.

However, it should be noted that Bobby Roode hasn't been on the best run since he's moved to the red brand this past April. Many fans feel he needs an attitude change, and lately, The Glorious One has been teasing an attitude change too. Is a big heel turn on the cards for Roode?

The duo of Ziggler & McIntyre ambushed Rollins last week

Last week, as Seth Rollins came close to knocking off Drew McIntyre in a singles bout, the Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler attacked The Kingslayer, causing a disqualification.

So far, the two have consistently gotten the better of Rollins. Despite the numbers game being against him, will Rollins manage to fire back and get one over the IC champion and the Scottish Terminator?

#2 Is a triple threat on the horizon for the B-Team?

Enter ca
The B-Team have an entire division behind their back

The B-Team still haven't seemed to process the fact that they're RAW Tag Team Champions. After back-to-back surprising victories over Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt, it's more clear than ever that there's a target on their back.

Not only are The Deleter of Worlds not done with them, but The Revival have made their presence known as well, defeating the former champions last week. This week, the current champions have to face The Revival.

With both teams right on their back, one would think that we're headed for a triple threat collision course at the biggest party of the summer.

#1 Roman Reigns responds to Brock Lesnar's shocking actions

Roman Reigns hasn't pulled the punches when talking about Lesnar

Last week, Brock Lesnar shocked the world by telling his advocate Paul Heyman that they weren't friends and that Heyman worked for him. To top it all off, after hitting General Manager Kurt Angle with an F-5, he attacked Heyman too, seemingly severing their ties.

Roman Reigns was forced to leave RAW early last week after Lesnar refused to confront him, per orders of Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. With all the shocking events unfolding at the end of RAW and Lesnar guaranteed to not show up, it's going to be interesting to see what The Big Dog has to say about what transpired after he was forced to leave the arena.
