WWE Raw: Potential Spoilers, Rumors, News and Preview for June 26

Monday's WWE Raw will have no shortage of rage as the red brand looks to hype Great Balls of Fire.

An incensed Brock Lesnar will charge into Los Angeles with visions of grinding Samoa Joe between his teeth. Joe choked out Lesnar's manager, Paul Heyman, making their July 9 match about far more than the Universal Championship in The Beast Incarnate's possession.

Lesnar is set to make a rare Raw appearance. And Joe knows full well what kind of rampage he's capable of.

The Staples Center will also welcome two former members of The Golden Truth who are now out to hurt each other, the aftermath of The Realest Guys in the Room's implosion and the latest chapter in the Roman Reigns-Braun Strowman vicious saga. What else is on the docket? Will a special guest from the NBA world show up?

Backstage news and the Raw preview on WWE.com help provide the answers as we preview Monday's Raw before it airs at 8 p.m. ET on USA Network.

News, Potential Spoilers

Raw could feature an over-the-top personality on Monday night.

LaVar Ball, recent Los Angeles Lakers draftee Lonzo Ball's father, has made a name for himself via outrageous proclamations. WWE has apparently taken notice and is reportedly trying to get LaVar to appear on Raw.

Pro Wrestling Sheet's Ryan Satin reported: "Sources tell us the two sides have been in talks to make it happen, and things are looking good." 

The Miz and Maryse's current storyline relationship issues are likely to lead to the power couple splitting.  

Over the past few weeks, The Miz and Maryse have been at odds thanks to the intercontinental champion breaking an alarm clock that his wife bought him as a gift. And on the most recent Raw, it looked as if The Miz was on the verge of replacing her as a manager with Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.

Dave Meltzer speculated on Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t Raj Giri of Wrestling Inc) that WWE may have wanted to break up The Miz and Maryse because Mike and Maria Kanellis debuted on SmackDown and the company may not want two husband-and-wife duos.

As to whether Maryse is done for the moment, Meltzer said: "It looks like it."

Raw Streaks

Akira Tozawa can't be stopped. 

There is no one charging up the ranks of the cruiserweight division like the Japanese pit bull. Tozawa took down TJP on last Monday's Raw to continue his winning ways. He has now won 10 consecutive matches, per CageMatch.net. 

That includes victories in his last three bouts on Raw and five singles wins over former cruiserweight champs.

Curt Hawkins, on the other hand, can't even get on TV at this point.

Per CageMatch.net, the former tag team champ has only competed in two matches on Raw since moving to the brand during the Superstar Shake-up in April. Hawkins has now gone without a match on the last eight straight editions of Raw.

Maybe he needs to get in Titus O'Neil's ear about joining the Titus Brand.

Closing in on Great Balls of Fire

R-Truth and Goldust's rivalry is set to kick into high gear.

The two former tag team partners have been trading threats by way of taped interviews for the past few weeks. And now a physical confrontation is on the horizon for the first time since Goldust attacked his old ally in May.

The Raw preview on WWE.com noted that Goldust will host a premiere of his movie The Shattered Truth.

R-Truth is invited. And he's not likely to show up with film analysis on his mind. An unconventional feud will go in an intriguing direction on Monday, likely setting up a bout between them for Great Balls of Fire.

Raw also promises to feature the fallout of Enzo Amore and Big Cass' breakup.

The big man revealed last Monday that he was the mystery attacker who had been ambushing Amore. Cass talked about how Amore has held him back and how tired he had grown of him before leaving him lying on the mat.

The former friends are sure to collide in some fashion on Monday's Raw as both of The Realest Guys in the Room venture on their own.

Seth Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt is not yet official for Great Balls of Fire but looks to be well on its way to becoming part of the card. The two Superstars have clashed in a promo-heavy rivalry for the past few weeks with Wyatt claiming he's a god and Rollins thinking otherwise.

Violence is sure to on its way after all this verbal posturing. The WWE.com Raw preview asked: "Might Wyatt make the WWE 2K18 cover Superstar regret his so-called 'blasphemy' sooner than later?"

Reigns and Strowman aren't likely to do much talking when they cross paths. 

The enemies have held nothing back in their pursuit to end each other. Their rivalry has seen them smash each other with weapons, Strowman flip an ambulance over with Reigns inside and The Big Dog force The Monster Among Men to take a hiatus after cracking a steel chair against his elbow. And after undergoing surgery, Strowman restarted their story when he stormed back onto Raw last Monday.

The two powerhouses are now booked for an Ambulance match at the upcoming PPV.

Raw is sure to dedicate a good amount of time to building that match. Great Balls of Fire's main event—Lesnar vs. Joe— promises to get plenty of attention, too. 

The last time Lesnar appeared on Raw, he and Joe brawled in the ring until the bulk of the roster had to pull them apart. The Beast Incarnate will be back once more, and more chaos is on its way.

How much WWE allows Joe to stand toe-to-toe with Lesnar or even dominate him in some fashion will be one of the elements most worth watching on the show. One may assume The Destroyer is set to be fed to Lesnar, but perhaps the red brand will pull a play out of the SmackDown playbook and deliver a curveball with Joe taking the title.
