Raw preview, June 15, 2020: Randy Orton opens Raw following victory in Greatest Wrestling Match Ever
The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever is in the books, and Randy Orton emerged victorious in a physically and emotionally draining battle against his former friend Edge. Now, The Viper will open Monday Night Raw just one night after proving his in-ring supremacy against The Rated-R Superstar.
After last night’s grueling battle, rumors have been swirling that BOTH Superstars sustained injuries in the match.
What condition will both Superstars be in after such a brutal marathon of a match? Will Orton look to close the book on his rivalry with Edge after such a demanding battle? Is there another Superstar that will find himself in The Viper’s path?
Randy Orton will reveal all of his thoughts to kick off Raw tonight at 8/7 C on the USA Network.
Dominik Mysterio accepts Seth Rollins’ invitation to Raw
Last Monday on Raw, Seth Rollins crashed an exclusive interview with Rey Mysterio, who gave an update on his status after the gruesome eye injury inflicted on him by The Monday Night Messiah. While Mysterio’s outlook is promising, he’s still not cleared for a return to the ring.
Despite that, Rollins had the audacity to invite the furious Mysterio and his son Dominik to Raw this week to help them understand the “sacrifice” he made for the greater good of the red brand. This morning, Dominik confirmed on social media that he accepted the invitation and was headed to the WWE Performance Center.
Is Dominik walking into the lion's den and tempting The Monday Night Messiah?
Asuka and Nia Jax to compete in championship rematch after double count-out
Asuka and Nia Jax have plenty of unfinished business after their Raw Women’s Championship Match ended in a double count-out at WWE Backlash. The Empress of Tomorrow retained her title but was clearly frustrated by the conclusion and landed one last attack on her rival before exiting up the ramp.
The bad blood has boiled for weeks, as the unpredictable Asuka has been repeatedly targeted by the towering Jax ever since Becky Lynch crowned her champion.
Will Asuka finally silence her most outspoken doubter, or will the most imposing female Superstar in WWE history back up the smack talk?
Catch Raw tonight at 8/7 C on the USA Network to see who walks out with the gold.
WWE Champion Drew McIntyre teams up with 24/7 Champion R-Truth against Bobby Lashley & MVP
Champions will join forces tonight on Raw as WWE Champion Drew McIntyre teams with 24/7 Champion R-Truth to battle their mutual enemies, Bobby Lashley & MVP.
The King of Claymore Country prevailed over Lashley at WWE Backlash to retain his WWE Title after a highly physical encounter. Lashley & MVP were livid with Lana, whose arrival at ringside led to her husband eating a massive Claymore for the loss. Will Lashley & MVP be able to put last night’s disappointment behind them to focus on a victory?
There’s likely no love lost from McIntyre, who Lashley underhandedly attacked before their Backlash match even started. Meanwhile, Truth likely has retribution on his mind after being attacked mercilessly with Lashley’s Full Nelson last week.
Don’t miss this tag team showdown tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
