Bengaluru, Aug 5: The 32nd annual Summerslam event is set for this Sunday night summing up the biggest rivalries of the 2019 summer in WWE. Prior to this, the flagship show of weekly programming has one final stop as tonight marks the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw for the pay-per-view event. Rivalries should reach the most extreme point on this special night so to hype up the third 'big-four' event of this year.
Brock Lesnar is confirmed to appear on WWE Raw to be the headliner as he prepares to defend his Universal Title at Summerslam. The women's champion is also set for a championship defence but prior to that, she'd have to respond to a challenge issued by her opponent. Plus, we expect some hilarious segments with WWE's first-ever pregnant champion who graces the show that takes place at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
WWE announced the presence of the 'reigning, defending, undisputed, Universal Heavyweight Champion of the world' on tonight's episode of WWE Raw since he is a must-see on go-home shows for any 'big-four' PPVs.
The tradition remains as he must be in a delightful mood after conquering Seth Rollins, last week. It was a disturbing attack that landed the number one contender straight into hospital. WWE.com questioned whether he is in a state to appear on the show,
"Rollins underwent a series of evaluations at a local medical facility but refused to disclose any details regarding his medical condition to WWE Digital. As such, and given Rollins’ silence since that night, it remains to be seen what kind of damage The Beast Incarnate doled out to his SummerSlam challenger. Lesnar will be in the house for the final Raw before SummerSlam. Will The Kingslayer also make an appearance?"

Rumours are running rampant all over the internet as to find out who could be the mystery attacker on Smackdown. Names like Samoa Joe, Drew McIntyre or Shane McMahon are quite predictable in this context considering the recent history. But spoilers are out that it was Daniel Bryan who might have committed the crime so to set up a match against Roman Reigns at Summerslam. We'd find out on WWE Raw if that's true or not.
