WWE fans are eagerly awaiting tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW, which follows Saturday Night’s Main Event and Evolution 2 at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama. The show is set to feature a major Gauntlet Match, adding to the excitement surrounding the red brand. Central to the episode will be an update on Seth Rollins’ injury status, with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce expected to take a key role in delivering news to the audience.
Seth Rollins’ Injury Status and Its Implications
Reports confirmed that Seth Rollins, known as The Visionary and The Architect, was seen backstage at Evolution 2025 using crutches and wearing a knee brace, signaling a serious injury rather than a scripted storyline. This development triggered speculation that Pearce will officially communicate Rollins’ health condition on RAW. It is anticipated that Pearce may reveal that the severity of the injury forces WWE to write Rollins off television for an unspecified period, impacting future programming.
Potential SummerSlam Women’s Title Match Announcement
At Evolution, Naomi shocked viewers by cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase during the main event between IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley, winning the Women’s World Championship from SKY. With SummerSlam 2025 approaching as a historic two-night event, Pearce might declare Naomi’s first title defense at the event. The RAW GM could announce a Triple Threat match featuring Naomi, IYO SKY, and Rhea Ripley, providing a high-stakes matchup for the coveted championship on the summer’s biggest wrestling stage.
Dominik Mysterio’s Return and Intercontinental Title Defense
Dominik Mysterio, also known as Dirty Dom, has been sidelined recently due to a rib injury that prevented him from defending his Intercontinental Championship, including canceling a planned match against AJ Styles at Night of Champions 2025. During tonight’s RAW, it is likely that Adam Pearce will confirm Dom’s medical clearance and require him to defend his title regularly in the lead-up to SummerSlam. This would compensate for the time lost while Dom was inactive, ensuring the championship remains actively contested.
Possible Money in the Bank Ladder Match Announcement for SummerSlam 2025
If Seth Rollins’ injury recovery takes longer than expected, WWE could strip him of the Money in the Bank briefcase, a rare but plausible scenario akin to vacating a title due to injury. Adam Pearce is rumored to announce a ladder match at SummerSlam 2025 which would crown a new Mr. Money in the Bank. The winner of this match would gain the right to cash in the contract at any time for a championship opportunity, adding further drama and stakes to the upcoming premium live event.
The Outlook for WWE and SummerSlam 2025
As one of WWE’s biggest annual events, SummerSlam 2025 faces substantial pressure to deliver a compelling card, especially with the addition of a second night for the first time in the event’s history. Adam Pearce’s announcements regarding Rollins’ injury, the Women’s World Championship defense, Dominik Mysterio’s return, and a potential Money in the Bank ladder match are all set to shape the narrative leading into the show, keeping fans anxiously anticipating what unfolds next on RAW.
