Raw preview: June 24, 2019: Reigns to battle McMahon & McIntyre in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match as part of Triple Main Event

In the wake of a very hard-fought victory against Drew McIntyre at WWE Stomping Grounds, The Big Dog must now defend his yard against both Shane McMahon & The Scottish Terminator. Plus, new United States Champion Ricochet is set to take on AJ Styles in a non-title showdown and WWE Champion Kofi Kingston takes on Sami Zayn as part of a Triple Main Event. Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Universal Champion Seth Rollins are scheduled to kick off the night when Raw goes live at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Reigns to battle McMahon & McIntyre in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match as part of Triple Main Event

Despite putting up with nearly constant interference from Shane McMahon, the resilient Roman Reigns emerged triumphant over Drew McIntyre at WWE Stomping Grounds. There is no rest in WWE, however. For as the dust cleared, an irate Shane-O-Mac made it clear that he and The Scottish Psychopath will look to punish Reigns in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match tonight on Raw. Will Reigns defend his yard against such overwhelming odds?

United States Champion Ricochet to battle AJ Styles tonight

Ricochet took full advantage of his first singles title opportunity by overcoming Samoa Joe to capture the esteemed United States Championship. Now that he’s titleholder, however, it is clear that he will have no shortage of challengers.

Case in point: Moments after AJ Styles, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson invited themselves into the new titleholder’s photoshoot, The Phenomenal One said he would see Ricochet on Raw.

WWE.com has since learned that the two Superstars will, in fact, square off in a non-title match. Will Ricochet rise above? Will Styles end the celebration and set himself up with a future title opportunity?

Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch scheduled to kick off Raw at 8/7 C

Seth Rollins retained his Universal Title at WWE Stomping Grounds despite the underhanded efforts of Baron Corbin and Special Guest Referee Lacey Evans, who changed the rules throughout the matchup. Now that Rollins has toppled Corbin, will a new contender step up, or are Seth’s problems with The Lone Wolf just beginning?

Meanwhile, Becky beat The Lady in their Raw Women’s Championship Match, but it’s a safe bet that this heated rivalry will continue to burn tonight on Raw.

Both Rollins and Lynch are scheduled to kick off Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network. What will they have to say?

The Man might not be finished with The Lady in the aftermath of WWE Stomping Grounds

Lacey Evans may have cost Rollins the Universal Title if it wasn’t for Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, who stormed the ring and took out The Sassy Southern Belle. Becky beat The Lady in their Raw Women’s Championship Match, but it’s a safe bet that this heated rivalry will continue to burn tonight on Raw.

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston battles Sami Zayn one-on-one

One night after Kofi Kingston defended the WWE Championship against Dolph Ziggler in a Steel Cage Match at WWE Stomping Grounds, which also played host to Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens’ victory over Kofi’s New Day allies Xavier Woods & Big E, The Dreadlocked Dynamo will battle The Critic of the Critics in singles action as part of Raw’s Triple Main Event, which also includes Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match and new United States Champion Ricochet vs. AJ Styles.

Can Kingston silence the vocal and vicious Zayn in non-title action tonight?

Updated the preview as WWE is now advertising Seth and Becky to kick off the show, and they added Kofi/Sami in what's going to be one of the "triple main events" along with Reigns's handicap match and Styles/Ricochet

 

[Swamps]

Great! Starting off with the "Ratings" Slayer!

 

[Chris]

I love how Corey can't even try and defend Lacey's reffing bc it was so blatant

 

[Vegeta]

Shocked they didn't both come out to Becky's music at this point lol.

 

[Chris]

Still can't believe Becky sat back there for all that shit and didn't come out 'til Lacey hit her dude's nuts

 

[Chris]

Why do they keep calling them a "real life" couple...you telling me this rasslin' shit ain't real?

 

[Vegeta]

Still can't believe Becky sat back there for all that shit and didn't come out 'til Lacey hit her dude's nuts

Which according to Lacey was about all she could find.

 

[Swamps]

About to change the channel already

 

[Apoho Creed]

No Live Sex Show with Becky and Seth tonight I'm upset.

OH WAIT IT'S BECKY!

 

[Chris]

Oh this shit bout to be so cringy, they better start a "Becky's boyfriend" chant already

 

[Vegeta]

Seth gonna get a shirt that says "The Man's Man." and I can't wait.

 

[Chris]

She really called him The Man's man

 

[Chris]

One of the few things I've been enjoying from Becky's promos lately is her saying "The Man comes around" with the Johnny Cash reference

 

[Chris]

Wait Corbin really bout to get 3 straight PPV title shot see what happens the crowd actually boos heels
