Ahead of Clash at the Castle, WWE Raw will deliver its final episode before the international premium live event, next week. To set the competitive tone right before the PLE, big matches have been announced on the weekly show.

After being reckless for weeks, Bron Breakker will be seen in action as he will take on former NXT rival Ilja Dragunov in a matchup that can be touted as a physical battle between two former NXT Champions on next week's Raw.

This match was set up via an angle on the latest bygone episode of Raw where Dragunov saved Ricochet from a post-match attack by Breakker after the latter defeated the WWE Speed Champion in a singles competition.

Breakker had shown his frustrations in recent times for WWE not putting him into the King of the Ring tournament. He also targeted Ricochet time and time again with multiple attacks in and outside the ring.

WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn will also be seen in action next week as he will be taking on Alpha Academy's Otis in a non-title matchup. On Raw, Gable didn't want to come face-to-face with Sami until he got his Intercontinental Title Match.

Gable eventually attacked Sami from behind but Otis didn't want to attack Sami. Upon Gable's instructions, he followed the orders and pounced on Sami. This came alongside a tease that Otis might turn on Gable and become a babyface.

During the brawl, The Alpha Academy's Maxxine Dupri and Akira Tozawa got hurt. Following the segment was over, it was announced that Zayn would defend the IC title against Gable at Clash at the Castle on June 15.

Lyra Valkyria vs. IYO SKY has also been announced for next week's Raw after SKY attacked Valkyria in a backstage segment on Raw. Valkyria was in the middle of an interview with Cathy Kelley where she talked about Becky Lynch when SKY jumped on her from behind.

Previously, Valkyria defeated SKY in the Queen of the Ring tournament semifinal on the May 20 episode of Raw as SKY looked for revenge on the June 10 show which will emanate from the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio. The match card for the show goes as follows:

• Bron Breakker vs. Ilja Dragunov
• Sami Zayn vs. Otis
• Lyra Valkyria vs. IYO SKY
