Brock Lesnar to appear on WWE Raw ahead of SummerSlam Hell‑in‑a‑Cell showdown

WWE has confirmed that Brock Lesnar will return to Monday Night Raw on July 27 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, the final episode before SummerSlam. He also appears on the July 13 Raw from Dallas, Texas, as part of the buildup to his Hell in‑a‑Cell match against Oba Femi at SummerSlam on Aug. 1‑2 in Minneapolis' U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Raw shows will feature a Number‑One Contender gauntlet for the Intercontinental Championship and other matches involving Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and several mid‑card wrestlers. Media commentary frames the Lesnar‑Femi clash as a "generational matchup," with some suggesting it could be Lesnar’s last in‑ring appearance before a possible retirement.

SummerSlam is promoted as WWE’s biggest summer event, and the Hell in‑a‑Cell bout marks Femi’s debut in that structure while Lesnar returns to the cell for the first time since 2015.
