Some major moments are set to take place on WWE Raw as storylines heat up ahead of SummerSlam. We will see the return of two former World Heavyweight champions, a championship match and much more.
WWE Raw airs live from the Nutter Center, Dayton, OH at 8CT on the USA Network.
Here’s our preview for the show.
Match Card WWE Raw (7/15/24)
- WWE Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn vs. Ilja Dragunov
- Sheamus vs. “Big” Bronson Reed
- World Heavyweight Championship SummerSlam Match Head-to-Head: Damian Priest & Gunther
Dragunov Gets IC Shot, Breakker Gets Angrier
Ilja Dragunov gets a shot at Sami Zayn’s Intercontinental Championship as the champion continues to enrage Bron Breakker.
Breakker is angry that Zayn beat him at Money In The Bank.
Breakker was so angry he couldn’t beat Dragunov, last week, he threw a chair at him. He’s also angry there’s an Intercontinental Championship match happening without him. Breakker’s anger could ruin the Intercontinental Championship match. Just saying.

Big Butch Sharks Circling Sheamus
“Big” Bronson Reed is more than a little salty about established stars such as Sheamus getting the spotlight over emerging stars like him.
Last week, Reed defeated Sheamus’s former Brawling Brutes stablemate “Butch” Pete Dunne and attempted a post-match beatdown. Sheamus prevented this but Dunne showed he hadn’t forgot Sheamus was responsible for disbanding the group.
Sheamus meets Reed this week. Look out for the “Bruiserweight”.
Everything Else
Rhea Ripley returned last week and stuck her finger in Dominik Mysterio’s face. This signaled she was not happy with Dirty Dom’s behavior with Liv Morgan in her absence.
Dom will answer to “Mami” this week and if she doesn’t like what he’s got to say she might stick her finger somewhere Mysterio doesn’t want.
Drew McIntyre returns to WWE Raw after CM Punk requested his suspension be lifted. Expect a match between the two to be finally announced for SummerSlam.
Gunther will fan some flames to hopefully heat up interest in his World Heavyweight Championship match against Damian Priest at SummerSlam when they meet in a head-to-head.
