One of the biggest storylines heading into the show surrounds the #1 contender for the Raw Women’s Championship, Ronda Rousey, as she warms up for her SummerSlam encounter with Alexa Bliss by competing on Raw for the first time against Alicia Fox.

This week’s in-ring action will also see Sasha Banks & Bayley join forces again to take on Sarah Logan & Liv Morgan, while The Revival will face The B-Team and Mojo Rawley will go one-on-one with Bobby Roode.

Elsewhere on the show, much of the spotlight will be on Roman Reigns following Brock Lesnar’s attack on Paul Heyman last week, and the build-up to Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman vs. Kevin Owens at SummerSlam will continue.

Further down the card, The Authors of Pain are almost certain to seek revenge on Titus Worldwide after Apollo Crews’ surprise win over Akam, while Elias and Bobby Lashley are likely to continue their recent rivalry.

In this article, let’s take a look at seven last-minute predictions ahead of the episode.

#7 Bobby Roode vs. Mojo Rawley

Mojo Rawley has been on a two-month winning run on WWE television since losing against Apollo Crews on Main Event in May, defeating No Way Jose (x3), Tyler Breeze (x2) and Chad Gable (x1) over the last few weeks.

After bragging backstage about his recent accomplishments on last week’s episode of Raw, the former Hype Bro was interrupted by Bobby Roode, who was previously mocked by Mojo after losing against Dolph Ziggler on 16 July.

Many fans are expecting Roode to turn heel in the near future. So could another defeat here be the catalyst for a drastic change in attitude? Or will “The Glorious One” finally put Mojo in his place?

Considering that this is a mid-card match with next-to-nothing riding on it, it’s certainly a tough one to call! Let’s go with Mojo.

Prediction: Mojo Rawley defeats Bobby Roode

#6 What next in the Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins feud?

Remember when Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins on the Raw before Extreme Rules? As a result of his victory, Drew was allowed to be at ringside to support Dolph Ziggler during the Iron Man match at the PPV.

Well, fast forward to the upcoming rematch at SummerSlam and Drew and Dolph have been up to their old tricks again in matches involving Seth on Raw, with Dolph interfering in last week’s match to cause a disqualification.

With two weeks to go until SummerSlam, let’s predict that Drew and Seth will go one-on-one again this week and the Scot will be banned from ringside at SummerSlam if he fails to win.

Prediction: Seth Rollins defeats Drew McIntyre; McIntyre banned from ringside

#5 The Revival vs. The B-Team

After The B-Team’s back-to-back victories against The Deleters of Worlds, they return to action on this week’s Raw against the self-proclaimed “best tag team in the world”, The Revival.

It’s pretty clear that Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder will be the next serious challengers for the Raw Tag Team Championships, so the next natural step in the storyline is for them to end The B-Team’s seven-match winning run in this non-title encounter.

Prediction: The Revival defeats The B-Team

#4 How will The Authors of Pain respond to last week’s defeat?

One week on from Apollo Crews’ victory over Akam on Raw, let’s make the not-so-bold prediction that the other members of the two tag teams, Titus O’Neil and Rezar, will go one-on-one on this week’s episode.

If it happens, will the monstrous Rezar get The Authors of Pain back on track with his first singles win on the main roster? Or will the leader of Titus Worldwide spring another surprise? If past storyline logic is anything to go by, we’d be foolish not to go with the latter.

Prediction: Titus O’Neil defeats Rezar

#3 Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Sarah Logan & Liv Morgan

Sasha Banks and Bayley have each been involved in nine televised matches against members of The Riott Squad since WrestleMania 34 and yet there still hasn’t been a definitive winner of this never-ending sequence of matches.

The babyface duo of Banks and Bayley have been getting along recently, plus Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan are without the injured Ruby Riott right now. o let’s back “The Boss” and “The Hugger” to win this match for the second week in a row.

Prediction: Sasha Banks & Bayley defeat Sarah Logan & Liv Morgan

#2 Ronda Rousey vs. Alicia Fox

Alicia Fox stood in for the injured Mickie James as Alexa Bliss’ sidekick last week, defeating Natalya in a singles match before rag-dolling Ronda Rousey around the ringside area (yes, that really did happen!).

This week, however, will be a very different story. Alicia is merely a stop-gap in the Alexa vs. Ronda rivalry on the road to SummerSlam, so expect “The Baddest Woman On The Planet” to pick up the victory inside a couple of minutes on Monday.

Prediction: Ronda Rousey defeats Alicia Fox

#1 How will Roman Reigns respond to Brock Lesnar?

Last week’s episode of Raw saw Brock Lesnar F5 Kurt Angle and attack his own advocate, Paul Heyman, in the middle of the ring to close the show.

With “The Beast” not scheduled for Monday’s Raw, let’s predict that Roman Reigns will warm up for his Universal Championship match at SummerSlam by turning his short-term attention to Baron Corbin.

The Raw Constable had an altercation backstage with Reigns last week before walking away from Lesnar in the final segment, so it wouldn’t be at all surprising if the two men met in a singles match this week.

Prediction: Roman Reigns defeats Baron Corbin
