* knows.

 

Roman is set to make an announcement on RAW tonight.

 

Braun is apparently back tonight he will interrupt

 

I know that, very much doubt it's the Undertaker. I think it could either be Goldberg or more like Braun attacks him before he gets to make the announcement.

 

Guess we will see when Roman starts raw.

 

The plan as of this afternoon for tonight's WWE RAW main event from Evansville, IN was to do Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe, according to PWInsider. As noted, Reigns will open the show with his announcement for the August SummerSlam pay-per-view.

There are also plans for The Revival to officially return tonight as Dash Wilder was recently cleared to return from his broken jaw. They are set to face Enzo Amore and Big Cass at RAW tonight.

WWE also has a MizTV segment booked for tonight, which will focus on Maryse and WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz not being on the same page for the past few weeks.

 

Bruan is back good way to return.

 

Thank * he is back!

 

"I'm not finished with you" the real big dog is back

 

Kota Ibushi "returning" to New Japan for the 2017 G1 Climax, first time in almost two years he has worked for the company as himself rather than the Tiger Mask W gimmick.

 

Monday's WWE RAW, featuring a main event segment with RAW General Manager Kurt Angle and Big Cass turning on Enzo Amore, drew 3.102 million viewers. This is up 22% from last week's 2.542 million viewers, which was a new low for 2017. The show also featured Roman Reigns' SummerSlam announcement in the opening segment.



This breaks seven weeks of RAW averaging below 3 million viewers.




Tonight's WWE SmackDown and 205 Live episodes will take place from the Wright State University Nutter Center in Dayton, OH with the fallout from Sunday's WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view.

No matches have been announced for the blue brand but SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan will be returning to TV tonight. Bryan is rumored to make a SummerSlam announcement but will also be addressing the controversial finish to the women's MITB Ladder Match at Sunday's pay-per-view. SmackDown will also see the Tuesday night debuts for Mike & Maria Kanellis, plus appearances by Mr. MITB Baron Corbin and Ms. MITB Carmella. Matches announced for tonight's 205 Live are Mustafa Ali vs. Drew Gulak and Jack Gallagher vs. Tony Nese.

WWE is focusing on the following points for tonight's SmackDown:

* How will Carmella’s controversial Money in the Bank Ladder Match victory be addressed?

* The Lone Wolf reigns as Mr. Money in the Bank

* Will The Viper be looking for payback on Mahal?

* Will Mike & Maria Kanellis bring the power of love to Tuesday nights?

* Daniel Bryan returns to SmackDown LIVE tonight

This is up 25% from last week's 2.072 million viewers, which was a new low for 2017. This week's show also featured the return of SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan.

THE NXT CHAPTER BEGINS!
WWE and I mutually agreed to end my responsibilities on SmackDown having nothing to do with rumors about disputes. As I remained under contract with WWE, we discussed a variety of options. Despite originally agreeing to part ways, there was always a desire to continue working together. We have come to terms on a new agreement that benefits both WWE and me, and I am thrilled to announce I will now be part of the NXT broadcasting team.
