WWE RAW’s go-home episode before SummerSlam delivered an action-packed show with several intriguing developments for the upcoming pay-per-view event. One of the main feuds leading up to SummerSlam has been the heated rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes, which has left fans wondering about the reasons behind Lesnar’s sudden betrayal of Rhodes during his babyface run.
However, the third and final encounter between the two superstars was set to be even more intense with a special stipulation yet to be revealed.
In addition to Lesnar and Rhodes, the highly anticipated clash between Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch was also given an early preview during this week’s RAW. However, the excitement was cut short when Trish’s ally, Zoey Stark, interfered, prompting the referee to end the match abruptly. Surprisingly, there were discussions behind the scenes to potentially move this match to WWE Payback, altering its original SummerSlam placement.
Fightful Select reported that the original plans for Becky Lynch’s involvement around Summerslam were different from the online rumors.
