• Update On The Intercontinental Title Picture

WWE provided the following update regarding the Intercontinental Title picture ahead of tonight’s episode of RAW:

Does The Architect have plans for Dolph Ziggler?

“Though Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins left everything on the canvas in a brutal 30-Minute WWE Iron Man Match at WWE Extreme Rules, interference by Drew McIntyre during the opening moments of sudden-death overtime left The Showoff with the win.

Considering the look on Rollins’ face during the closing moments of the pay-per-view, the odds are pretty high that he is not through with the titleholder. With five weeks until SummerSlam, will he catch Ziggler in time for The Biggest Event of the Summer? Or will another Superstar step up to try and seize the workhorse title?”

• Brock Lesnar Still Not Set To Appear On Tonight’s RAW? Paul Heyman Responds To Kurt Angle’s Threat Of Stripping Brock Lesnar Of The Universal Title

As we noted before, RAW General Manager Kurt Angle noted during a backstage interview at Extreme Rules 2018 that if Brock Lesnar doesn’t agree to defend the Universal Championship then he’ll strip him of the Title.

Below is what WWE posted about Lesnar ahead of tonight’s RAW:

Will Brock Lesnar be stripped of the Universal Championship on Raw?

“At WWE Extreme Rules, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle gave Brock Lesnar a clear ultimatum: Either show up on Raw tonight or agree to terms for a future Universal Title Match. Failure to comply will result in The Olympic Gold Medalist stripping him of his Universal Title. Will The Beast choose to answer the call or lose Monday Night Raw’s top title?

Plus, though Roman Reigns has claimed for some time that he is the “uncrowned Universal Champion,” how will Bobby Lashley’s huge victory over The Big Dog play into the equation?”

PWInsider noted that it’s possible that Lesnar still doesn’t show up on RAW and instead of him, his advocate Paul Heyman shows up.

Speaking of Heyman, below is how Heyman reacted to Kurt Angle’s threat:
