Add as a preferred source on Google WWE has confirmed two major segments for the next episode of Monday Night RAW, which takes place this Monday, May 25, at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio.
Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu will take part in a contract signing for their Tribal Combat match for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash in Italy on May 31.
The announcement was made during this week’s Friday Night SmackDown. WWE also announced that Oba Femi will open next Monday’s show.
The rivalry between Reigns and Fatu heated up even more on the last Raw, when the reigning World Heavyweight Champion got the better of him with help from The Usos. Shortly afterward, Fatu challenged The OTC to the match in Turin, and Reigns accepted.
As for Oba Femi, his appearance is expected to be directly tied to Brock Lesnar. Last Monday, Lesnar returned to WWE, attacked The Ruler with four F-5s, and made it clear that his retirement was not permanent after all.
Paul Heyman also handed Adam Pearce a contract already signed by Lesnar for Clash in Italy. As of now, however, WWE has still not officially confirmed the match, as Femi still needs to accept the rematch.
This week’s Monday Night RAW will stream in the United States on Netflix starting at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
