Tonight's edition of WWE Raw serves as the first stop on the road to SummerSlam following Night of Champions, and several of WWE's biggest stories are expected to take shape in Atlantic City. With King and Queen of the Ring winners crowned, championship pictures becoming clearer, and several top stars coming off decisive victories and defeats, Raw has plenty of unanswered questions despite only one match being officially announced.
The show will also air at a special start time for fans in the United States. WWE is taping this week's SmackDown immediately after Raw, allowing the roster and production crew to enjoy the Fourth of July weekend before returning to the road. Here is a preview of tonight's Raw with everything to expect.

WWE Raw Match Card
Singles Match
Chad Gable vs. JD McDonagh
This is the only match WWE has announced thus far. Gable continues to build momentum as a mid-card babyface. It is likely he will receive a strong reaction from the New Jersey crowd tonight. Being from Minnesota, WWE will likely start building towards a significant match for him at SummerSlam.
What Else to Watch For
Who will Oba Femi challenge at SummerSlam?
Oba Femi captured the 2026 King of the Ring crown at Night of Champions, earning a world championship opportunity at SummerSlam. The biggest question is which champion he will choose. WWE has spent months positioning Femi as an unstoppable force, and all signs point toward a blockbuster showdown with Roman Reigns. Raw could officially begin that program.
What's next for Seth Rollins?
If Night of Champions marked the conclusion of Rollins' rivalry involving The Vision, Raw becomes the perfect opportunity to establish his next direction. With SummerSlam approaching, Rollins is expected to quickly pivot into another marquee storyline.
How does Bron Breakker respond?
Bron Breakker suffered one of the most decisive losses of his main roster run at Night of Champions. Whether WWE leans into frustration, reinvention, or immediate redemption, his response should be one of the night's most important developments.
