Monday Night Raw Preview (July 28, 2025): The Road to SummerSlam Heats Up

Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to acknowledge greatness? Roman Reigns steps into Little Caesars Arena tonight on WWE Raw, but he’s not here for a sightseeing tour. Detroit gets the honor of witnessing “The Tribal Chief” before he teams with Jey Uso this Saturday at SummerSlam to battle Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. With last week’s double spear moment still fresh in our minds, the big question is” What message will Reigns deliver tonight as he solidifies his dominance en route to the “Biggest Party of the Summer?”

The Judgment Day vs. LWO for the Tag Team Gold  

The LWO’s Cinderella story continues tonight as Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro challenge Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh for the World Tag Team Championship. Fresh off earning the No. 1 contenders spot, thanks in no small part to a little distraction from El Grande Americano, Wilde and Del Toro will look to keep their momentum rolling. But The Judgment Day doesn’t just wear the gold; they breathe the dark stuff. If you thought mind games weren’t part of tonight’s game plan, you’d be as wrong as a missed three-count.

Jey Uso and Bronson Reed Bring the Thunder  

Before Saturday’s epic tag team collision, Jey Uso and Bronson Reed warm up with some singles action. Can “Main Event” Jey Uso keep the hot hand after last week’s double spear triumph alongside Reigns? Or will Reed flatten his momentum into the mat like Uso’s the latest pancake on the menu? This one’s personal, folks. Expect fireworks.

CM Punk and Gunther Face-Off

Who needs a microphone when you have Gunther’s sheer physicality? But of course, this is wrestling, and CM Punk with a mic in hand is like a magician with his wand. Every word can cast a spell. Tonight, Punk addresses the World Heavyweight Champion ahead of their SummerSlam showdown. Will words escalate to fists? If history’s taught us anything about these two, we should expect both.  

Final Thoughts: SummerSlam Vibes Are In the Air On Raw

Detroit isn’t just the “Motor City” tonight. It’s the main hub of wrestling hype. Monday Night Raw is throwing its full weight behind the SummerSlam build, and if you miss it, you’re likely to feel FOMO as intensely as The Miz feels rejection after every failed handshake. Tune in at 8 PM ET/7 PM CT on Netflix.  Are you ready for Raw, Detroit? Because Raw is ready for YOU!
