(1) Brock Lesnar is scheduled for Raw to hype his return match against Randy Orton. (2) Seth Rollins\u00a0is calling out Finn Balor&#8217;s alter-ego, now called &#8220;Demon King,&#8221; prior to their Universal Title match at Summerslam.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Smackdown GM Daniel Bryan returned to Raw to have a chat with Raw GM Mick Foley regarding Orton and Lesnar crossing shows last week on Raw and Smackdown. This led to U.S. champion Rusev interrupting, Cesaro interrupting to get a U.S. Title shot, and a title match main event.<\/p>\n<p>Rusev ended up retaining the U.S. Title against Cesaro after Sheamus interfered three times. Cesaro had a visual fall on Sheamus while the referee was down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Raw was heavy on promos, including Seth Rollins addressing Finn Balor. This led to a video feature on Balor&#8217;s character&#8217;s mythology taking Balor out of the ring to verbally enhance his persona a few weeks into his main roster run.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Raw guest star Sean &#8220;Puff Daddy&#8221; Combs made one backstage appearance interacting with New Day members Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Big E. was off TV selling last week&#8217;s ringpost shot to the groin from The Club, who played the role of doctors bragging about their injury work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; WWE hyped this week&#8217;s\u00a0DVD release of a new WWE\/Scooby Doo movie by having\u00a0R-Truth and Goldust interact\u00a0with a Scooby Doo mascot. &#8220;Scooby Doo: Curse of the Speed Demon&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/I6FoA358QYk\" target=\"_blank\">is out Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Scooby-Doo and WWE team up tomorrow on DVD and Blu-ray\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I6FoA358QYk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1066300212\"><div id=\"pwtor-278421762\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE Raw News &amp; Notes 8\/8 &#8211; WWE announced two items for next week&#8217;s Raw leading into Summerslam.
