Will things between Punk and Gunther get physical this week ahead of their match? Will the WWE Universe get to see Punk toss some pipe bombs back at Gunther on the microphone? We'll find out this week on Raw.
Roman Reigns addressed his history with The Bloodline and Paul Heyman on last week's Raw, but this week he'll address his SummerSlam opponents. Late last week, Jey Uso and Reigns agreed to team at SummerSlam and take on Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed in a tag team match. This week on the show, Roman Reigns will address those opponents and the fact that he's partnering with Jey for the first time in a long time.
