Cody Rhodes appeared on WWE Raw and shared that Brock Lesnar is going to be on the 7/17 edition of the show. Rhodes would go on to add that he wants a rubber match against Lesnar at SummerSlam. The 7/17 Raw is in Rhodes’ home-state of Georgia and ‘Arrow’ and ‘Heels’ star Stephen Amell will be in attendance.
There was a segment involving Ricochet and Logan Paul. Ricochet said he wanted to issue a challenge for a match but instead, he wants to hurt Logan. He did a front flip over the top rope, akin to the moment he had with Velveteen Dream on NXT. Ricochet took Paul down with a Sliced Bread.
