RAW Heads To Los Angeles
WWE is headed to Los Angeles this Monday for what may be the most significant episode of Monday Night RAW before SummerSlam 2026. The July 27 edition will be live from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. It is WWE’s last location before one of the year’s biggest premium events. The show is expected to build momentum, rather than being a repeat episode, given that a few championship matches are already secured.
Top WWE Stars Return
Each big storyline has the potential to move forward a major step before SummerSlam. The Intuit Dome also has special significance for WWE. In January 2025, RAW premiered for the first time on Netflix in the arena. Now, the company has come back with another impressive lineup, including a number of its biggest stars. All the action for the event is advertised, including Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, Oba Femi, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio and Women’s Intercontinental champ Sol Ruca. Their appearances mean that this is one of the best RAW cards in recent months.
Reigns And Rollins Face Off
Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins will be in the spotlight ahead of their World Heavyweight Championship battle at SummerSlam. They have been rivals since their time in “The Shield”. But in recent weeks, it has become apparent that old divisions remain. They signed a contract, but it came with a lot of turmoil, and there’s another potential fireworks show on the horizon.
Big Matches Set For RAW
Another big event will be the weigh-in of Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi. Femi is one of the hottest players in WWE. Lesnar is one of the biggest attractions of the company. The live event should give fans a last hint of things to come before their much-awaited SummerSlam matchup. Also on the cards will be Championship gold as Sol Ruca fights Raquel Rodriguez for the Women’s Intercontinental title. Ruca has been a favourite with all through her title reign for her athletic style. Rodriguez is in a fighting chance to have a size and strength advantage going into the match.
Final Build Before SummerSlam
In other action, Else joins Bron Breakker and Austin Theory in a tag team battle with Alpha Academy. Joe Hendry and Danhausen will also be playing a concert. But their ongoing problems with Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment Day may soon put an end to that, though. It’s of extra significance in this episode because it sets the emotional tone for SummerSlam. Great tail moments can set an expectation for fans. WWE will be aiming to provide entertaining, dramatic matches, compelling storylines, and some big action before the biggest weekend of the year.
