WWE News: Announcements made for SummerSlam fallout Raw episode

WWE has made a couple of announcements for tonight’s SummerSlam fallout edition of Raw.

Raw is taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York tonight. It’s been announced that Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss will be on the show, making their first appearance as Women’s Tag Team Champions.

The frenemies team of Charlotte & Bliss won the women’s tag belts from Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez) at night one of SummerSlam. Charlotte & Bliss are members of the SmackDown roster but can appear on either brand since they’re the women’s tag champs.

Also announced for tonight is an appearance by Becky Lynch, who is still the Women’s Intercontinental Champion after retaining against Lyra Valkyria at SummerSlam night two. An accidental assist from Bayley — who was trying to help Valkyria — led to Lynch winning.

As a stipulation of her loss, Valkyria is unable to challenge for the Women’s Intercontinental title again while Lynch is champion. We’ll see if a new challenger emerges tonight.

Plus, new World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins will appear following his successful Money in the Bank cash-in at SummerSlam. After faking a knee injury for weeks, Rollins reemerged to take the World Heavyweight title from CM Punk just minutes after Punk won the belt from Gunther.

Rollins was a guest on the Rich Eisen Show today, claiming that he fooled the entire world with his knee injury ruse. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce said he plans to have a “very stiff” conversation with Rollins about the phony injury.

Here is the updated lineup for tonight’s episode:

WWE Raw (Monday, August 4) —

  • New World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins appears
  • Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch appears
  • New Women’s Tag Team Champions Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss appear
  • Sheamus vs. Rusev
