Adam Pearce Announces Two Major Title Matches For 6/22 WWE RAW
WWE Raw general manager Adam Pearce officially announced the lineup for the 6/22 edition.
The show is scheduled to take place in London’s O2 Arena before the talents leave for Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.
Over the last several weeks, WWE has been actively building the card for the Riyadh premium live event, but even before the wrestlers could get there, a couple of titles could change hands.
Taking to his social media account, Pearce announced that both the men’s and women’s tag titles will be on the line.
In the Raw men’s division, The Street Profits will challenge The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Austin Theory; it remains to be seen whether or not Logan Paul, who is dealing with a legitimate injury, will be by the ringside.
A few weeks ago, Breakker officially replaced Paul as one-half of the World Tag Team Champions due to Paul’s injury.
Meanwhile, Brie Bella and Paige will defend the Women’s Tag Team Championship against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, who have been requesting a title match for several months now.
Bayley and Valkyria competed for the championship in a multi-team match at WrestleMania 42, where Paige and Brie walked away with the honors.
Pearce also announced that finalists of the King & Queen of the Ring tournament will come face-to-face in non-wrestling segments. Chad Gable requested a slot to share his thoughts, which was granted by Pearce.
Dragon Lee and Ethan Page will square off in a singles match as well. The bout continues the feud, which also involves other wrestlers like Rusev, Rey Mysterio, and Penta.
