The July 27 episode of WWE RAW, which is set to take place inside the world-famous Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, will serve as the go-home show before the much-awaited two-night SummerSlam 2026 premium live event.
WWE’s flagship show is stacked with major stars and promises one of the best shows of the year with its line-up. One of the top attractions for the show is World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, who is set to return to the red brand for the first time since embarrassing his SummerSlam opponent, Seth Rollins at Saturday Night Main Event at Madison Square Garden.
Thanks for the submission!
Post-Night of Champions 2026, The Visionary confronted Roman Reigns and demanded a title shot, given he had never technically lost the strap. He also has a long-running feud with The OTC, which needs to be settled.
Reigns has everything to lose against Rollins, but he still chose to make his third official defense against The Visionary at the Biggest Party of the Summer, as he wants to beat his former The Shield stablemate in front of his family. This makes it even bigger, as The Tribal Chief has never beaten Seth at any big stage.
To add more fuel to their clash, WWE has been billing this match as the final chapter in The Shield saga, which is enough booking to hype the fans up. Tonight, the two are set to cross paths for the final time before their match at SummerSlam.
That said, here are three things Roman Reigns could do on the go-home episode of WWE RAW ahead of the Biggest Party of the Summer.
#3. Blood Oath with Rollins
Seth and Roman are Batman and Joker, their WWE careers incomplete without one another. With the Stamford-based promotion building their match-up as the final chapter in their years-long saga, their match must be clean.
Last week, Rollins crossed the line when he attacked Jacob Fatu, instigating the Bloodline to intervene in his and Reigns’ business. However, Roman was heard telling Fatu before that Seth is his personal business, and he needs no help with him. As a result, the Bloodline did not appear during their contract signing segment despite The OTC being overwhelmed by his former Shield brother.
During their final segment before the title match in Minnesota, Reigns could go off on Rollins for laying hands on his family. However, he could seal a blood oath with The Visionary that would not allow him a single chance to make excuses. Reigns wants to embarrass him all by himself, hence he may perform a blood oath with Rollins, a ceremonial ritual which The OTC does only with family, before the Bloodline Rules match.
Given that he and Rollins were best friends at one time, he may perform it with him as well and promise that his family would remain out of their business until SummerSlam, where he beats him, and then Fatu may have his revenge on Seth for putting his hands on him. This would hype fans for the Rollins vs. Reigns match.
#2. Unleash The Bloodline on him
Rollins did cross the line by putting his hands on Jacob Fatu and disrespecting him. However, The Samoan Werewolf did not lay a glove on The Visionary.
On RAW tonight, The Original Tribal Chief may first assure Rollins that at SummerSlam, The Bloodline would not be there, but he had to pay the price for putting his hands on his family.
Therefore, a week before the Biggest Party of the Summer, Reigns may unleash his family on the former leader of The Vision to exact revenge on him for being disrespectful toward his family. Team LA Knight may make a save, creating a chaotic situation in the main event.
#1. Adding a massive stipulation to their WWE match
The match between Rollins and Reigns is billed as The Shield’s final chapter, and if that’s true, WWE indeed needs to raise the stakes even higher. As a result, The OTC may get General Manager Adam Pearce on board to make the World Heavyweight title match into a last-man-standing match.
Adding the stipulation to Rollins vs. Reigns would truly mark the end of their saga. WWE ended Brock and Roman’s saga at SummerSlam with the same stipulation.
