The Amalie Arena is the home of the 2004 NHL Stanley Cup Champion and frequent playoff contender the Tampa Bay Lightning. The building opened in 1996, hosted a Raw two months later, and has been a frequent venue for WWE events.

We\u2019ll have to see as the show unfolds.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I have to admit, I didn\u2019t even think about Cena showing up tonight. I don\u2019t know what to make of that, but it\u2019s interesting. At any rate I don\u2019t have much to articulate as these reunions speak for themselves. The other names conspicuous by their absences are Edge and The Rock. With Christian advertised for the show you\u2019d think Edge would be there, but he could be part of the \u201cand more.\u201d According to multiple reports Rock was not available. While it would be nice to see him, having him appear in his own spot on the first FOX Smackdown as an example would provide more of an impact than having him show with such a large list of returnees. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how everyone is sprinkled throughout the show as WWE clearly tries to pop a rating in a stretch of sub-2.0 results as of late.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Seth Rollins Gears Up for Brock Lesnar<\/h3>\n<p>Last week on Raw, Seth Rollins earned the right to face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam in an attempt to regain the WWE Universal Championship. He lost the title at Extreme Rules when Lesnar cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Rollins following Rollins &amp; Becky Lynch defeating Baron Corbin &amp; Lacey Evans to retain, at the time, the Universal title and the Raw Women\u2019s Championship respectively.<\/p>\n<p>At the onset of Raw last week, Lesnar and his advocate Paul Heyman came out to discuss the Universal Championship situation in regard to SummerSlam. Heyman said there\u2019d be a ten-man cross-branded battle royal in the main event to determine whom will face Lesnar which featured Rollins and former champions Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, and Rey Mysterio. Rollins would go on to win, and cut a post-match promo opposite Lesnar and Heyman. Here\u2019s highlights from the battle royal which includes the post-match promo, and a couple of WWE exclusive with Rollins:<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2257791060\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cross-Branded All-Star Top 10 Battle Royal: Raw, July 15, 2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8zFzj6N-1wM?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<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fired-up Seth Rollins gets ready for SummerSlam after Raw: Exclusive, July 15, 2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qFPbPiemXXY?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<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Seth Rollins refuses to let Brock Lesnar remain Universal Champion: WWE Exclusive, July 15, 2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ni3qaHDXlL4?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<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Amongst the Raw reunion, we build towards this SummerSlam rematch for the Universal Championship.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: It\u2019s funny because didn\u2019t most of us want to see this match at SummerSlam last year when Rollins was hot and Reigns was getting booed out of every building? My issue is why did Rollins have to earn a rematch when he was cashed in on? That doesn\u2019t sound fair. The big picture issue is that they wanted Lesnar on the SummerSlam card defending the title. Does anybody realize that WWE has put on the same Universal Championship match at WrestleMania and SummerSlam two years in a row? Does anybody also realize that since SummerSlam 2017, Lesnar has entered each \u201cbig four\u201d PPV as the Universal Champion?<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>The Man and The Queen of Harts<\/h3>\n<p>Charlotte Flair is not the only queen with whom Raw Women\u2019s Champion Becky Lynch is involved these days.<\/p>\n<p>Last week on Raw, in what was heavily criticized (and rightfully so), \u201cThe Queen of Harts\u201d Natalya won a fatal four-way elimination match to earn the right to face Becky for the Raw women\u2019s title at SummerSlam. This will be the second SummerSlam in the last three in which she\u2019s earned a championship match. She faced Naomi for the Smackdown women\u2019s title in 2017. Ironically Naomi was in the fatal four-way along with the women who held the Raw and Smackdown titles entering last year\u2019s SummerSlam, Alexa Bliss and Carmella respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Check out last week\u2019s Smackdown primer to see the Twitter spat Alexa had with some fans as the Long Island crowd let her know they were not happy with the match. (Sorry Lex, as a Long Islander myself I can vouch for the crowd being a bit rough when they don\u2019t like something. You ought to come to a Mets game sometime.)<\/p>\n<p>At any rate both women cut a post-match promo where Natalya said it was exciting to go to her home country to face an old friend. Becky said she would wipe the floor with her and giver her what her career needs, and that\u2019s her. Natalya would call Becky a bitch. Here\u2019s highlights (not that the match had any) which features the promo towards the end of the video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Natalya vs. Naomi vs. Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss: Raw, July 15, 2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bfW7rZrKrmc?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<p>Any match with Becky has to have a little trash talk on Twitter:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/natbynature\/status\/1152463495306403846?s=21<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/beckylynchwwe\/status\/1150965495090352133?s=21<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We continue towards this SummerSlam championship match tonight.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: It\u2019s hard for me to buy when Natalya asks heelish because it just doesn\u2019t suit her. My wife even says so and she\u2019s a pretty good judge of character. We watch Total Divas (yeah yeah, make fun of me go ahead) and what you see there doesn\u2019t match the woman that called Becky a bitch. I believe that from Charlotte or even if Paige was still wrestling, but not Nattie. At any rate, I like the match. There is history between these two. If you go on YouTube you can find segments between them on Smackdown back in 2016.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Ricochet Grounded By The Club<\/h3>\n<p>In the latest of the two-out-of-three falls matches, Ricochet teamed with the Usos last week to face Robert Roode (with his returning beard) and Raw Tag Team Champions The Revival (Scott Dawson &amp; Dash Wilder). You guessed it, there were two quick falls scored by both sides in under seven minutes before Ricochet and The Usos would score the decisive third fall.<\/p>\n<p>After the match The Club (U.S. Champion A.J. Styles and Luke Gallows &amp; Karl Anderson) came out to talk trash. They got into it with the Usos and Ricochet. Ultimately, Ricochet was laid out after taking a Phenomenal Forearm from A.J. He stood over Ricochet holding the title.<\/p>\n<p>Frank\u2019s Analysis: The two-out-of-three falls matches are out of control and dumb. Ok, got that out of the way! Anyway, I expect a six-man tag match between The Club and The Usos and Ricochet, as well as a rematch for the U.S. Championship between A.J. and Ricochet. I don\u2019t know when each will take place but one will be on Raw and one will be at SummerSlam.<\/p>\n<h3>24\/7 Championship<\/h3>\n<p>This is not one of the advertised items, but look for something with the 24\/7 Championship. Last week on Raw, while Drake Maverick and his wife were on their honeymoon, R-Truth snuck into their hotel room and regained the title by pinning Drake on his bed.<\/p>\n<p>Hurricane Helms went after R-Truth for the title at the recent San Diego Comic-Con. Mick Foley also made his case:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">R-Truth defended the 24\/7 Championship at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SDCC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SDCC<\/a> against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShaneHelmsCom?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ShaneHelmsCom<\/a> and @WWEMaverick! <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UF1YOnm6HW\">https:\/\/t.co\/UF1YOnm6HW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; The Sportster (@WrestlingSheet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WrestlingSheet\/status\/1152358872037785601?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 19, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/realmickfoley\/status\/1152601035157975041?s=21<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: What is the over\/under on how many times the 24\/7 Championship changes hands? What\u2019s the probability Alicia Fox ends up with the title? Come on you know she\u2019s the perfect female candidate.. I could see Helms and Foley winning it at some point. You know Santino Marella will get in there. How about The Godfather? My guess is 10-20 minute reigns for all.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Not Advertised for Follow Up<\/h3>\n<p>The Viking Raiders won another squash match.<\/p>\n<p>Cedric Alexander beat Drew McIntyre in about three minutes in another dumb booking decision.<\/p>\n<p>Bray Wyatt returned with his \u201cfiend\u201d mask and gave Finn Balor Sister Abigail. He left this cryptic tweet following the attack:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ll forgive you, when it\u2019s done brother. <\/p>\n<p>The sickness is gone. <\/p>\n<p>We owe them. <\/p>\n<p>And Yowie Wowie is it gonna be a spectacle!!!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WYATT 6 (@Windham6) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Windham6\/status\/1150962760265666560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 16, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Zack Ryder defeated Mike Kanellis in about eight seconds. Perhaps it was seven. Maria Kanellis after the match told said her unborn child had a better chance of winning the match than him, suggesting Mike is not the father.<\/p>\n<p>The Club defeated Lucha House Party.<\/p>\n<h3>Overall Thoughts on Tonight\u2019s Show<\/h3>\n<p>Any time the legends come back it should be fun. It\u2019s always good to see some of the old faces and how they intermingle with the current roster. With the exception of the 24\/7 Championship I don\u2019t see any of the legends being involved in heavy angles. We have less than three weeks until SummerSlam, so we should see things start to take shape outside of what\u2019s been announced already.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankPeteani.
