Five major storylines teased on WWE Raw after SummerSlam

Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer, Big Cass, Jacob Fatu, Roman Reigns, LA Knight, Oba Femi and Bron Breakker featured on the August 3 episode of WWE Raw as the show presented the fallout from SummerSlam 2026 and teased five major storylines.

SummerSlam 2026 was presented as a two-night Premium Live Event and the Raw after the PLE set up multiple potential programs moving forward. The PLE followed events involving top names across the roster; Becky Lynch returned after the Clash in Italy PLE and Stephanie Vaquer also reappeared, while other segments put returning and established stars into new confrontations. The episode included advertised returns and post-match developments that the company signalled could translate into televised storylines.

On the women’s side, Lynch confronted Liv Morgan and members of the Judgment Day during her return, and Stephanie Vaquer’s comeback further stirred the division. The segment suggested the possibility of a triple threat match for the title between those three moving forward.

Big Cass, who had been advertised to return on the August 3 episode, made his comeback and attacked Je’Von Evans on Raw. He followed the attack with a backstage promo in which he mentioned Evans, a development the show presented as a hint that their storyline may be set for television.

Jacob Fatu reacted to the Bloodline’s six-man tag loss by targeting Royce Keys. Footage showed Solo Sikoa mocking Fatu on Raw; the Samoan Werewolf defeated him in a Street Fight and then decimated Keys with a heinous post-match assault, a sequence that the program framed as potentially provoking Solo Sikoa—Keys’ ally and the Bloodline’s sworn enemy—to pursue Fatu and reopen their previous feud.

Fresh from his victory over Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, Roman Reigns was confronted on Raw by LA Knight, who demanded a World Heavyweight title shot. LA Knight’s mocking of the Shield theme nearly drew a reaction from Reigns, and with the Megastar directly opposing him the segment was presented as a possible setup for Knight to be next in line to challenge the OTC.

Oba Femi’s Hell in a Cell win over Brock Lesnar on SummerSlam Night 1 was followed on Raw by an encounter with Bron Breakker as Femi exited the stage. Breakker later asked Paul Heyman about Femi’s whereabouts, a beat the show used to tease an upcoming program between Breakker and Femi.

Those segments on the August 3 Raw collectively set up potential next steps: a possible women’s triple threat for the title, a televised program involving Big Cass and Je’Von Evans, a renewed conflict between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa, LA Knight positioning himself for a World Heavyweight title challenge against Roman Reigns, and a program between Oba Femi and Bron Breakker.
