WWE Raw Preview (Aug 3rd) - Brock Lesnar Returns

Lesnar will be there but will The Undertaker show up too?

This week's Monday night Raw takes place in San Jose, California and the big selling point is the return of Brock Lesnar. It's not a big return since he was on the show two weeks ago, but this is the first time Lesnar and advocate Paul Heyman will be on Raw since that fantastic brawl with The Undertaker on July 20. As for The Undertaker, he's not advertised for the show, although he may show up unannounced. It's also expected that there will be a tribute to Roddy Piper, who passed away on Friday. There will likely be a ten bell salute at the start of the show, as well as a video tribute. John Cena will not be on Raw - he suffered a broken nose last week and had surgery to repair the damage. Cena posted a video of him lifting weights and even though it's not a closeup, you can see his nose still looks bad. https://twitter.com/JohnCena/status/628006168506580992 Here are the five questions posted on WWE.com to set up the show: What chaos will Brock Lesnar unleash? Has Kevin Owens made a mistake by provoking Cesaro? Has Seth Rollins broken more than Cena€™s nose? Which tandem will challenge The Prime Time Players? Can Neville vanquish Stardust€™s supervillainy? Regarding the Prime Time Players, there could be a number one contender's match between Lucha Dragons, The New Day and Los Matadores. It could also end up being a four team tag match at SummerSlam because that seems to be the direction based on the last few weeks of WWE television. There are no official matches announced as of Monday afternoon. Normally WWE doesn't announce anything until about an hour before the show on social media.
