WWE Monday Night Raw Preview: 8 August, 2016

The ratings of last week’s Monday Night Raw might’ve taken a fall compared to its predecessor, but then again, it was near impossible to break the ratings of the post-Battleground show due to the buildup it had. This week, WWE will be looking to put together yet another show worth tuning into as they are on the road to SummerSlam.

WWE laid foundations for some interesting feuds last week and they will be looking to develop them this week. They are advertising a few guaranteed segments for the show as well. Here is a look at the things that WWE could mention in this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw.

 

Superman against Bulgarian Brute

New challenge for Reigns.

A big takeaway from last week’s Raw was the new storyline between Rusev and Roman Reigns. After Rusev’s match against Mark Henry, Reigns came in for the save and had an interesting post-match segment with the Bulgarian brute. Reigns not only did outclass Rusev but also locked his eyes at the United States Championship.

Reigns, who was taken out of the WWE Universal championship scene after his defeat against Finn Balor, needed a feud and Rusev provides just that. Spending some time in the mid card will be beneficial for Reigns and since Rusev is such a good heel, Reigns might get a cheer or two as we move ahead.
