— Here is what’s in store for tonight’s show —

• WWE Women’s World Champion Naomi to speak.
• Xavier Woods vs. Penta.
• WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Natalya.
• The Vision to speak.
• IYO SKY vs. Raquel Rodriguez.
• Bron Breakker vs. Jey Uso

8/18 WWE RAW Preview

Becky Lynch will put the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line against Natalya. Last week, Lynch retained her title in dominant fashion against Natalya’s ally Maxxine Dupri, then blindsided Natalya after the match. With tensions already high, Natalya gets her shot at revenge and championship gold.

Women’s World Champion Naomi was originally scheduled to defend her title against IYO SKY last week, but WWE pulled her from the match after revealing she had not been medically cleared. Tonight, Naomi will make her return to address her status and her future with the championship.

IYO SKY will also be in action as she faces Raquel Rodriguez, one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Last week, SKY suffered a loss to Raquel’s partner Roxanne Perez after interference from her Damage CTRL allies Asuka and Kairi Sane backfired. With tensions rising inside the group, SKY looks to bounce back in singles action.

Bron Breakker takes on Jey Uso in what promises to be a hard-hitting encounter. Both men clashed in last week’s chaotic post-match brawl involving World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Bronson Reed, CM Punk, and LA Knight. Breakker won’t be alone tonight, as he’ll appear with his Vision stablemates Rollins, Reed, and Paul Heyman.

Also set for tonight, Penta returns to the ring for the first time since defeating Grayson Waller on August 4. He will face off with Xavier Woods of The New Day in singles competition.
