We’re in the thick of SummerSlam season, and the fallout from Saturday Night’s Main Event is still radiating through the roster. Seth Rollins crashed Roman Reigns’ coronation ceremony with Jalen Brunson and took the backlash hard, so expect him to open Raw with some scorched earth promo work. Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu’s public defiance of Adam Pearce’s authority—citing direct orders from Reigns—has turned tonight’s card into a credibility test the company can’t afford to botch.
Seth Rollins Opening Segment
After getting his teeth kicked in at the hands of Reigns’ crew for his Haliburton-assisted ambush, Rollins needs to articulate exactly what his endgame is with the Tribal Chief. Expect him to either escalate toward SummerSlam or reveal a deeper angle nobody saw coming.
WAW Pick: Rollins cuts a passionate promo and challenges someone—whether it’s Reigns, Fatu, or a surprise third party—before the segment ends in chaos.
Jacob Fatu vs. LA Knight
If Fatu actually shows up. The man publicly questioned Pearce’s authority on social media and claimed he’s in San Francisco, which means WWE either needs to acknowledge the no-show or we get a swerve finish where the Tribal Chief’s enforcer appears out of nowhere. Either way, this match is a referendum on Fatu’s position in the company hierarchy.
WAW Pick: Fatu appears, destroys Knight in under five minutes, and stands tall with a message for Rollins.
Chad Gable Appearance
Gable’s been quietly positioned as a mid-card fixture, but with SummerSlam looming, expect him to either challenge someone up the card or get dragged into an existing storyline. His intensity has been wasted lately.
WAW Pick: Gable confronts someone significantly above his current standing and draws heat for his arrogance.
Danhausen Appearance
The Knicks uncurser has been riding genuine crowd momentum since his Elimination Chamber debut. Whether he’s in a match or just a segment, he’s one of the few credible babyface wildcards on the show right now.
WAW Pick: Danhausen gets a quick comedic segment that gets over with the crowd but doesn’t advance any major storyline.
