#5. Roman Reigns name-drops The Rock on WWE RAW

In 2024, The Rock and Roman Reigns were seen together on the weekly product, as The Bloodline tried their best to keep Cody Rhodes away from the Undisputed WWE Championship heading into WrestleMania XL. The Final Boss and The Original Tribal Chief teamed up at The Showcase of the Immortals and defeated Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a tag team match.

Last year, Dwayne Johnson returned to the red brand when RAW moved to Netflix, and Johnson and Reigns shared the ring after The Original Tribal Chief won the Ula Fala from Solo Sikoa. On the recent edition of WWE RAW, the World Heavyweight Champion mentioned The Rock and stated Sikoa sees a version of The Rock in LA Knight.

However, the segment was cut short quickly as Solo Sikoa was found backstage, laid out, and when Knight reached the scene, Roman Reigns hit The Megastar with a Superman Punch. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for Knight and Sikoa on the red brand.

#4. Major update on Roman Reigns following WWE RAW – Report

The Bloodline has been a tweener faction for the most part, as some love them and others still hold grudges against the faction for their past actions. With the rise of Royce Keys and OTM, the group has recently earned some sympathy from the audience, as no one expected the kind of violence the trio brought on Monday Night RAW.

On the recent edition of WWE RAW, Penta defeated Rey Fenix in the tournament finals and is set to face Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship on 14th September. However, there’s a slight update to The Original Tribal Chief’s character for his upcoming title defense on the red brand.

According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Roman Reigns will reportedly work as a heel in his upcoming title defense against Penta. The match will take place in Mexico City, and the former Intercontinental Champion will be the fan favorite on that night as well.

#3. Major update on Kevin Owens ahead of WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event – Report

Last month, Kevin Owens surprisingly returned to the Stamford-based promotion for the first time in nearly eighteen months. The Prizefighter entered the title scene but didn’t win it due to Sami Zayn’s interference. The former Universal Champion recently faced The Miz twice at live events.

The 42-year-old star was helped to the back, which raised concerns. Later, Dave Meltzer reported that the Men’s Grand Slam Champion is okay and isn’t dealing with anything serious. Owens sold the aftereffects of the match and isn’t injured again, as was speculated.

Kevin Owens recently lost to CM Punk in a singles match on the blue brand but isn’t done with The Second City Saint. It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for The Prizefighter on Friday Night SmackDown.

#2. New contender crowned on WWE RAW

Last month, Chad Gable won the Intercontinental Championship from Penta at WWE SummerSlam in Minnesota. It’s been a few weeks, and challengers are lining up to face Gable for the title. After a successful defense against Rey Mysterio, the champion will face another luchador.

On the recent edition of Monday Night RAW, Ethan Page faced Dragon Lee in a number one contender’s match. Page was close to winning, but Gable exposed him, which allowed Lee to hit his finisher and win the match. While All Ego wasn’t happy, Lee and Gable are set to face each other for the workhorse title.

#1. Multiple stars got hospitalized on WWE RAW

Monday Night RAW started hot when Royce Keys and OTM attacked The Usos. The former Powerhouse Hobbs isn’t done with The Bloodline, and last week’s attack was a teaser. Jimmy and Jey were brutally taken out before they could enter their locker room, and the trio sent another message to Jacob Fatu.

Later, Solo Sikoa was seen laid out backstage, and LA Knight took a Superman Punch from Roman Reigns when The Megastar checked on The Street Champion. Later, RAW commentator Joe Tessitore took a moment and addressed these attacks from the show.

The commentator revealed that all these stars were taken to a local medical facility, and they’re being evaluated for multiple injuries. Luckily, none of them have any matches planned for the upcoming Sunday Night’s Main Event television special in Atlanta.
