Tonight’s 3-hour WWE RAW takes place from Dallas, Texas and will be the “go home” show before Sunday’s WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view.
WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels will be in the house tonight to help give a final push for the Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar hype. Lesnar threatened Michaels last week, so expect to see a confrontation between these men tonight.
The show will be opened by a preview of the SummerSlam WWE Championship match, as CM Punk competes against the Big Show.
On Friday’s SmackDown, Booker T announced that Alberto Del Rio’s World Heavyweight title match against Sheamus at SummerSlam has been cancelled. Tonight on RAW, we’ll get the latest on this situation and whether the match will be reinstated/changed.
“Jersey Shore” star DJ Pauly D will be tonight’s Social Media Ambassador.
The WWE website’s 5-point preview is teasing:
* Del Rio “sneaking his way” back into the #1 contender’s spot
* The latest from Daniel Bryan & Kane
* How Social Media Ambassador DJ Pauly D will interact with Zack Ryder
* Lesnar’s final opportunity to “see” Shawn Michaels before SummerSlam
* CM Punk’s reaction to Big Show’s recent actions
The advertised dark match main event for tonight is John Cena vs. Big Show in a no-disqualification match.
