Two matches, ‘Samoan Summit’ set for WWE Raw
Two matches and a Roman Reigns-Samoa Joe segment have been announced for Monday’s episode of Raw.
WWE has confirmed Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler, Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss in a non-title match, and a “Samoan Summit” where Reigns and Joe will hash out their differences for Monday’s Raw. The show is taking place at the Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
Rollins will challenge for Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship at SummerSlam on August 11. Lynch is defending her title against Natalya at the pay-per-view.
On Raw Reunion, Rollins defeated AJ Styles by disqualification when Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson got involved. In a post-match angle, DX and The Kliq helped save Rollins from an attack by Styles, Gallows, and Anderson.
Ziggler interrupted Shawn Michaels’ appearance on Miz TV on this Tuesday’s SmackDown. The segment ended with Ziggler striking Miz and laying out Michaels with a superkick.
Lynch appeared on a Moment of Bliss on Raw Reunion and brawled with Natalya.
Reigns defeated Joe in their match at Raw Reunion. The match was set up by Joe cutting a promo about the episode indulging the fans’ “ridiculous addiction to nostalgia.” He criticized The Usos and Rikishi, which brought out Reigns.
