We’re on the slow build to SummerSlam in just a few weeks, and RAW planted the seeds for some matches for the Biggest Party of the Summer.
RAW featured a ton of big names, including a returning Brock Lesnar, and some build-up for matches for SummerSlam in a few weeks, but it looks like WWE is taking a slow approach to its big event in Brooklyn.
After RAW last week, there were three matches confirmed for SummerSlam, with the Universal title and both brands’ women’s title matches officially announced. After Monday night, nothing has changed, but the seeds have been planted for what the card should look like.
It looks as if we’ll see Jason Jordan battle The Miz for the Intercontinental title at SummerSlam after Miz TV on RAW, and a feud over the tag team titles between Sheamus & Cesaro and Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose may be brewing.
The rest of the RAW tag team division, specifically The Hardy Boyz, The Revival and The Club, are all mixed at the moment, and could either compete in a huge match at SummerSlam or at some point in the next few weeks on RAW.
SmackDown‘s main event on Tuesday night between John Cena and Shinsuke Nakamura will determine the new number one contender for the WWE title, and who will face Jinder Mahal for the belt at SummerSlam in SmackDown‘s main event.
Finally, on 205 Live on Tuesday night, we will finally figure out who will battle Neville for the Cruiserweight title at SummerSlam, as Akira Tozawa and Ariya Daivari fight to become the number one contender for the belt.
Nonetheless, with nothing new, here is the official card for SummerSlam after the July 31 edition of RAW.
