Trish Stratus vs Becky Lynch

Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch had their first encounter back at WWE Night of Champions 2023 where Stratus managed to escape with the win due to Zoey Stark’s interference. Becky defeated Stark and earned an opportunity to face Trish on July 31 Raw. However, Trish hit Becky with the chair as soon as the match started and walked away. Trish claimed that he didn’t have enough time to prepare, and hence Adam Pearce booked the rematch for this Monday. Will Becky be able to take her revenge? 

Shinsuke Nakamura to Explain His Actions

Last week, Shinsuke Nakamura teamed up with Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins to face the Judgment Day in a six-man tag team match. However, after they won the match, Shinsuke surprisingly hit Rollins with the Kinshasa. Now, the King of Strong Style will explain his actions. Is he also after the World Heavyweight Championship?

What Else to Expect?

Cody Rhodes expressed his desire to challenge for World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins last week. Will he follow up on that? Or will Rollins turn his attention towards Nakamura completely?

Judgment Day ended up on the losing side last week despite making the claims that they run Monday Night RAW. How will we see them striking back at Rollins, Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn? And, how will Dirty Dom react to his father Rey Mysterio becoming United States Champion?

The rivalry between Alpha Academy and Imperium continued last week with Chad Gable becoming the #1 contender for Intercontinental Championship, and Ludwig Kaiser beating Otis in a singles match. How will this rivalry continue now?

Shayna Baszler continued her momentum last week with a win over Zoey Stark. Who will she target next? She had already told Becky that she has scores to settle?

New Day made a triumphant return last week beating The Viking Raiders. They have already made their intentions clear to go for the tag team titles. With Kevin Owens out of action for now, will we see them relinquishing the title? Or will Sami Zayn deal with them alone?
