Brock Lesnar, Women's Tag Title Match, MITB Rematch Announced For Next Week's WWE Raw

Brock Lesnar will make his return next Monday night when "WWE Raw" goes to Atlanta, Georgia, while there are also three matches on the card for next week's show as well.

Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville have been steadily building momentum in recent weeks by any means necessary. One week ago, they ran the gauntlet. On Monday night, they used underhand means to defeat Kayden Carter and Katana Chance in a final tune-up ahead of their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match against Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.

After interrupting Maxxine Dupri's graduation ceremony, a "Vikings Rules" match between Alpha Academy and the Viking Raiders has also been confirmed. Additionally, in a Money in the Bank rematch, Matt Riddle will be seeking a measure of revenge over Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER in a non-title match. While the rest of Imperium is barred from ringside, Riddle won't have Drew McIntyre in his corner either.

And then there's Lesnar. Following Cody Rhodes' challenge on Monday night, "The Beast Incarnate" is set to appear, presumably to accept "The American Nightmare's" SummerSlam challenge. On Monday's "Raw," Rhodes delivered a passionate speech whereby he admitted that he could not shake off Lesnar, but had to do so once and for all to advance his career to the next level. 

Rhodes said that he was prepared to lay it all on the line to finish a chapter that Lesnar "started for no damn reason," as he challenged the former WWE Champion to a rubber match. The potential third bout was set up on the "Raw" after Money in the Bank where Lesnar ambushed Rhodes just as he was preparing for a promo segment with Seth Rollins. While Rhodes picked up the win at Backlash in May, Lesnar got one back at Night of Champions where Rhodes passed out to the Kimura Lock. The series is tied 1-1 going into the rubber match at SummerSlam.
