WWE Raw airs tonight from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, with Raw GM Adam Pearce calling it “Championship Monday.” Three title matches are confirmed. Seth Rollins opens the show. Oba Femi addresses his decision to pursue Brock Lesnar in Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam instead of cashing in his King of the Ring title shot.
Sami Zayn makes his first Undisputed WWE Championship defense against Cody Rhodes — a rematch from Night of Champions where Zayn won the title by pinning Rhodes in a triple threat. Sol Ruca defends the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Raquel Rodriguez. The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) defend the World Tag Team Championships against The Vision (Bron Breakker & Austin Theory) in the teams’ first match since the Profits won the titles in London.
CM Punk is expected to return tonight — he has been pushing for an appearance at this Chicago-area show and WWE has internally expected his return here, though he has not been officially announced. Also advertised: Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, Penta, The Usos, and Je’Von Evans.
