On the 7/18 Monday Night Raw in Tampa, Florida, Logan Paul is returning to WWE programming in-person for the first time since WrestleMania 38. Logan is signed with WWE and has been telling The Miz that he’s coming for him at SummerSlam.
Brock Lesnar opened the show and was interrupted by Paul Heyman. Lesnar is scheduled to challenge Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing match for the Undisputed Universal Championship at SummerSlam. Lesnar and Heyman were then interrupted by Mr. Money in the Bank Theory. This led to Chad Gable and Otis ambushing Lesnar, but he took out both Gable and Otis.

During the commercial break, AEW Fyter Fest night one was promoted on USA Network.
Prior to the Raw Women’s Championship match between Carmella and the champion Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch made an appearance and demanded a title match at SummerSlam. She cost Belair her match by getting her counted out.
In the main event, Theory teamed up with Seth Rollins to take on Riddle and United States Champion Bobby Lashley. Dolph Ziggler joined ringside and he pushed Theory’s feet off the middle rope as he was trying to secure a pin. Riddle ended up pinning Theory following an RKO. Post-match, Ziggler delivered a superkick to Theory.
