A little over a week after he shocked the world at Night of Champions, Sami Zayn will put the WWE Title on the line against Cody Rhodes.The American Nightmare earned his rematch by defeating Jey Uso in a No. 1 Contender's Match this past Friday night on SmackDown. Will Zayn prove that his win in Saudi Arabia was anything but a fluke, or will Cody Rhodes leave Chicago as a 4-time WWE Champion?

Sol Ruca will put her Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line against Raquel Rodriguez, and The Street Profits will defend the World Tag Team Titles against the aforementioned Austin Theory and Bron Breakker. After talking his way into a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity at SummerSlam this past week, Seth Rollins will kick off the broadcast tonight live on Netflix. Oba Femi will also appear on the show. The 2026 King of the Ring winner made the bold choice to pass up his guaranteed world title shot in order to face Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell. He'll address that decision later this evening.Here's everything we currently know about tonight's episode of WWE Raw. Check back for updates as more matches and segments could be announced in the coming hours. WWE Championship MatchAfter winning the WWE Championship at Night of Champions, Sami Zayn had his sights set on defending the title at SummerSlam. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce had other thoughts when he filled in for the suspended Nick Aldis on Friday night on SmackDown. He booked a No. 1 Contender's Match and ordered Zayn to put his gold on the line tonight in Chicago against the winner, who turned out to be the former champion, Cody Rhodes.Women's Intercontinental Championship MatchRaquel Rodriguez | NetflixBetween IYO SKY and the cursing powers of Danhausen, The Judgment Day has more than enough business that they need to handle. That's not going to stop Raquel Rodriguez from chasing the first singles title of her main roster career. After dismantling Maxxine Dupri last Monday night, Big Sexy was granted a Women's Intercontinental Championship opportunity against Sol Ruca tonight inside the Allstate Arena.World Tag Team Championship MatchMore than they've ever been before, The Vision are broken, battered and scattered. Paul Heyman seemingly wanted nothing to do with Austin Theory last week, but he has the opportunity to get back into the good graces of The Wiseman when he teams up with Bron Breakker to challenge for the World Tag Team Titles. The Vision dropped the gold to The Street Profits just two weeks ago, and tonight may be their last chance to build any real momentum as a group.
