WWE Raw Set to Kick Off Early This Week

This week's episode of WWE Raw is scheduled to begin earlier than usual, even though it will be broadcast from the USA. WWE is organizing consecutive shows this week, with Raw being streamed live in India while Smackdown will be recorded. Fans in India can catch the live action of WWE Raw starting at 3:30 AM IST on the Netflix app. Currently, WWE's weekly shows and premium live events are not available on television. Smackdown will be available for streaming on Netflix from 5:30 AM IST on Saturday (July 4).

Roman Reigns is set to make his much-anticipated return to WWE Raw this week. He missed the previous Raw and the Night of Champions, which resulted in the World Heavyweight Championship not being defended. Reigns is expected to defend his title at SummerSlam 2026. The Tribal Chief has held the World Heavyweight Championship since his victory at WrestleMania 42, where he defeated CM Punk in the main event.

Oba Femi to Announce SummerSlam Opponent

Oba Femi to pick his SummerSlam opponent

During the show, Oba Femi will announce his opponent for SummerSlam. The former NXT Champion is set for a world championship match at this major event. He could either challenge Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship or Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Championship, with a strong possibility of him going after Sami's title.

Sami Zayn is also expected to make an appearance. As WWE will be taping Smackdown, Zayn will walk out with the title on Monday after defeating Cody Rhodes and Gunther in a thrilling triple-threat match to become the WWE Champion. Sami secured the victory by pinning Cody Rhodes with a roll-up. WWE has been careful to protect Cody, ensuring he wasn't dominated by Sami. In the second Smackdown of 2026, Sami found himself on his knees when an attack from Jacob Fatu allowed Drew McIntyre to claim the title from him.
