It’s officially summer! The schools are out, the Olympics have begun and there’s no finer time to share that gif of Millhouse pretending to be a sprinkler in <\/span>The Simpsons.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

It is also <\/span>WWE SummerSlam <\/span><\/em><\/strong>this weekend. But, before we get to Cleveland for the “Biggest Party of the Summer”, <\/span>WWE Raw <\/span><\/em><\/strong>comes to St. Paul, MN. <\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the Paris Olympics airing on the USA Network, <\/span>WWE Raw <\/span><\/em>will air on Syfy at 8\/7c for the next two weeks. Read our full preview below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Seth Rollins To Give Referee Instructions <\/span><\/h3>\n

    Seth Rollins<\/strong> will give CM Punk<\/strong> and Drew McIntyre<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0instructions for things not to do at <\/span>SummerSlam<\/a>. <\/span><\/em>This will <\/span>set up for them to <\/span>definitely<\/span> do<\/span> those naughty things at <\/span>SummerSlam.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Listen out for spoilers for the CM Punk vs. McIntyre w\/ special referee Rollins\u00a0<\/em>match at SummerSlam<\/em>. <\/a><\/span>\u00a0Rollins: “I want a good clean fight, no <\/em><\/span>pulling of the hair, and respect the official.”<\/em><\/p>\n

    Cue: Bad and dirty fight, lots of pulling of the hair, and sly remarks – probably about clothing – leading to shoves and slaps for Referee Rollins. <\/span>Punk and McIntyre has been the storyline of the year and\u00a0this section of\u00a0WWE Raw\u00a0<\/em>will provide the chance to add even more intrigue ahead of what could go down as a modern-day SummerSlam\u00a0<\/em>classic.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

    B\u00e1lor<\/strong> To Slap Gunther Silly Ahead of SummerSlam<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Before Gunther<\/strong> challenges Damian Priest<\/strong> for the World Heavyweight Championship at <\/span>SummerSlam<\/span><\/em>, “The Ring General” faces Priest’s buddy Finn B\u00e1lor<\/strong> on <\/span>WWE Raw.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Gunther<\/a> has been scathing of “The Judgement Day”<\/strong> branding them as ‘street trash’.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Priest did spend a portion of his life living on the streets. So Gunther has a point. But B\u00e1lor grew up in the gorgeous seaside town of Bray, County Wicklow in Ireland. <\/span><\/p>\n

    B\u00e1lor will look to slap some sense into Gunther. Priest will hope B\u00e1lor slaps him silly ahead of <\/span>SummerSlam. <\/span><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
