*OFFICIAL* Raw Discussion Thread: 7th August 2017

[Awesome]

With less than three weeks to go until they clash in a Fatal 4-Way Match with the Universal Championship on the line at SummerSlam, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman will continue their epic rivalry when they compete in a Last Man Standing Match tonight on Raw.

The personal history between Reigns and Strowman is well known, as they have already competed in several brutal encounters, including their Ambulance Match last month at WWE Great Balls of Fire. What will happen when these two Superstars have to inflict enough damage to keep the other down for a count of 10 and be declared the victor of the Last Man Standing Match? And what impact will this have on the looming Universal Title Match at The Biggest Event of Summer?

Find out tonight!

After undergoing evaluation earlier today in Toronto, the injured Bayley will no longer be challenging Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women’s Championship at SummerSlam. The Huggable One is slated to address her condition tonight, live on Raw.

Also tonight, per Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, two Triple Threat Matches will be held, with the winner of each match battling one-on-one next week on Raw for the right to face Bliss for the coveted title at The Biggest Event of the Summer.

After Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus in singles action, The Kingslayer fell victim to a 2-on-1 beatdown by the Raw Tag Team Champions, and was ultimately assisted by Dean Ambrose, who ate a Brogue Kick in the process.

But don’t mistake The Lunatic Fringe’s actions for friendship. Ambrose made it clear that he only helped Rollins even the odds against Cesaro & Sheamus so he wouldn’t look like “the jerk,” and that Rollins wouldn’t return the favor if their roles were reversed. Will Rollins have the chance to prove his loyalty on Raw?

Bray Wyatt is a master of psychological warfare, but Finn Bálor has a trick or two up his sleeve as well. During The Eater of Worlds’ diatribe in which he boasted about hitting the Irishman with Sister Abigail the previous week, Bálor appeared in the ring from the darkness to ambush Wyatt, then sent the sinister Superstar tumbling out of the ring and up the ramp in retreat. However Wyatt responds tonight, it won’t be subtle.

Don’t miss Raw, tonight!
