INGLEWOOD, Calif. — With SummerSlam just days away, WWE packed the Intuit Dome with high-stakes drama Monday night as the final episode of Monday Night Raw before the company's biggest event of the summer delivered championship implications, heated confrontations, celebrity appearances and one surprising title change.
The sold-out crowd in Inglewood witnessed nearly three hours of action that served as the final chapter before WWE heads to Minneapolis for the two-night SummerSlam spectacular this weekend.
The evening was headlined by the final face-to-face confrontation between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, longtime rivals whose history stretches back to The Shield. The tense exchange underscored the magnitude of their upcoming SummerSlam showdown, with neither superstar backing down as the rivalry reached its boiling point before security and officials intervened.
Another marquee segment featured Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi taking part in an official weigh-in ahead of their Hell in a Cell match. Rather than devolving into an all-out fight, the segment focused on building anticipation for one of the weekend's most physically imposing matchups, although the tension between the two heavyweights was unmistakable.
One of the night's biggest in-ring developments came when Raquel Rodriguez captured the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship by defeating Sol Ruca, adding another championship to her résumé just days before SummerSlam.
Elsewhere on the card, Je'Von Evans picked up a statement victory over Rusev in one of the night's most competitive matches, while Ethan Page earned an upset win against Rey Mysterio. Bron Breakker and Austin Theory also scored a tag team victory over Alpha Academy as several SummerSlam storylines continued to evolve.
The Intuit Dome crowd also witnessed one of the evening's biggest surprises when boxing star Ryan Garcia made an unexpected appearance. Garcia aligned himself with The Judgment Day after interrupting a musical performance by Joe Hendry and Danhausen, helping the faction launch an attack that quickly became one of the night's most talked-about moments.
Los Angeles has quickly become one of WWE's premier destinations since the opening of Intuit Dome. The arena hosted the historic Netflix premiere of Raw in January 2025 and has continued to attract major WWE events, reinforcing Southern California's place as one of professional wrestling's hottest markets.
Monday's show accomplished exactly what WWE hoped it would: generate excitement for SummerSlam. By the time the final staredown between Reigns and Rollins concluded, the Inglewood crowd had witnessed championship drama, celebrity involvement and several unforgettable moments that set the stage for what promises to be one of the company's biggest weekends of the year.
