Reigns-Rollins Face-Off, Femi-Lesnar Weigh-In Set For Raw

WWE has begun laying out plans for the July 27 episode of Raw, and it’s shaping up to be a stacked show ahead of SummerSlam.

The headline attraction will see Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins meet face-to-face ahead of their SummerSlam showdown, giving both men a platform to build their rivalry before they collide at the premium live event. Sharing the spotlight will be a weigh-in segment between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, who are also gearing up to face each other at SummerSlam. Pairing a size-and-strength standout like Femi against a legitimate powerhouse in Lesnar makes for an intriguing visual, and the weigh-in format suggests WWE wants to lean into the physical mismatch angle heading into their match.

Also on tap for the broadcast is a concert segment featuring Joe Hendry and Danhausen. Hendry has built a reputation on both sides of the Atlantic for his musical entrance and crowd-participation anthems, and pairing him with the oddball, cult-favorite Danhausen suggests WWE is looking for a lighter, more theatrical moment to break up the heavier storyline segments on the card.

With SummerSlam approaching, Raw go-home shows in the weeks leading up to the event typically serve to sharpen the stakes for marquee matches, and this July 27 show looks to be doing exactly that. Getting Reigns and Rollins in the same ring, along with a Femi-Lesnar staredown, gives fans two separate confrontations tied directly to the SummerSlam card, while the Hendry-Danhausen segment adds some variety to the night’s tone.

More details on the July 27 Raw card, including any additional matches or segments, are expected to be announced as WWE continues building toward SummerSlam.
