WWE Monday Night Raw: matches and segments announced and UK start time ahead of SummerSlam 2025

• The road to WWE SummerSlam has a few more stops before it arrives in New Jersey this weekend.
• One such stop is this evneing’s WWE Monday Night Raw, taking place in Detroit, Michigan.
• Here’s what’s set to take place this evening on the final show for the red brand before the PLE, and what time you can catch all the action live in the United Kingdom.

It’s the final WWE Monday Night Raw this evening before one of the company’s ‘Big Four’ PLEs takes place this weekend – WWE SummerSlam 2025!

Taking place at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, over two nights for the first time in the PLE's history, many eyes are focused on one man who ‘can’ be seen after his heel turn – John Cena.

This year’s SummerSlam will be his last, as the record-setting WWE Undisputed Champion defends his title against Cody Rhodes. With the clock ticking away over the number of appearances he has left before we bid goodbye to the wrestling icon (I think it’s safe to call him that now), will we see some trickery afoot and finally get the chance to cheer ‘Big Match John’? Or does it also mean Cody Rhodes will turn to the dark side with his near obsession to win the title again?

With The Original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns set to address his enemies tonight in Detroit, ahead of his and Jey Uso’s tag match at SummerSlam against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, and Rhea Ripley in action both alongside and against her PLE opponents, it’s set to be quite the dramatic final WWE Raw before the biggest party of the summer.

Here’s what’s been announced so far for this evening’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, alongside your UK start time this evening as the road to SummerSlam 2025 almost comes to its end.
