Add as a preferred source on Google Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar are not advertised for the July 20 episode of WWE RAW, which will be held at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
WWE’s official event page highlights names like Seth Rollins, Oba Femi, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Sol Ruca and Penta. Reigns and Lesnar, however, are not among the top stars being promoted for the show.
The situation stands out because both stars hold prominent spots on the SummerSlam card and were both on hand for the most recent episode of RAW, held July 13 in Dallas, Texas.
On that show, Reigns took part in a contract signing for his World Heavyweight Championship defense against Seth Rollins. The segment ended in total chaos, with Rollins hitting a Stomp on the champion.
Both Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar are currently not advertised for next Monday’s episode of Raw.

Lesnar, meanwhile, was involved in a segment with Oba Femi and Paul Heyman. Fake restraining orders arranged by Heyman were exposed by Adam Pearce after Femi attacked the men who had posed as police officers.
Despite the expected absences in Detroit, Reigns and Lesnar are already confirmed for the July 27 episode of RAW at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The show will be the final episode of the red brand before SummerSlam.
SummerSlam will take place August 1-2 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Reigns will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Rollins, while Lesnar will face Femi inside Hell in a Cell.
