The road to SummerSlam intensified on Monday Night Raw as WWE delivered a memorable night from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Major rivalries escalated, championship opportunities were earned, and the show’s closing moments left fans anticipating one of the biggest matches of the summer.
The evening began with the return of Brock Lesnar, who came face-to-face with Oba Femi. Their confrontation quickly turned physical despite attempts to keep the two separated, resulting in WWE officially announcing a Hell in a Cell Match between the rivals.
In the women’s division, IYO SKY defeated Roxanne Perez in an excellent, fast-paced contest. Following the match, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez attacked SKY until Sol Ruca made the save, further intensifying the Women’s World Championship picture heading toward SummerSlam.
A seven-man Gauntlet Match determined the No. 1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship. After surviving multiple opponents, Chad Gable outlasted the field to earn a SummerSlam title opportunity against Penta, setting up what promises to be a highly technical championship clash.
The Alpha Academy suffered another setback when tensions with The Vision exploded. Austin Theory led a vicious assault on Otis, while Maxxine Dupri officially distanced herself from her former allies, giving The Vision another major statement victory.
Jimmy Uso battled Royce Keys before Jacob Fatu launched a post-match attack, bringing Solo Sikoa and LA Knight into the chaos. The confrontation led WWE to tease a major six-man tag team showdown involving The Bloodline at SummerSlam.
The night’s main event featured the highly anticipated contract signing between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. As expected, the signing quickly deteriorated into a violent brawl.
