WWE Raw: Burning Questions to Address After July 10 Show

In the aftermath of the Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view, Monday's WWE Raw moved forward on two key stories.

A mystery marched closer to its conclusion. And the events of the night advanced the process to name Brock Lesnar's SummerSlam opponent.

Raw general manager Kurt Angle's scandal is set to come to light. Whatever he and announcer Corey Graves have been whispering about will soon be public. Angle promised a resolution next week.

As for who will face The Beast Incarnate, Samoa Joe has a shot as does Roman Reigns. A wounded monster may make his mark on that situation as well.

The latest Raw also stirred up questions about what Seth Rollins will be up to in the coming weeks and The Hardy Boyz are due for a transformation. The following is a look at all those questions after the red brand's trip to Houston.

What Is Angle's Secret?

The mystery is finally going to be solved.

For weeks, Angle has received text messages that have caused him to panic. He and Graves are the only folks who know what those are all about. That will change come next Monday.

Angle said he would reveal what's going on during the next Raw.

What will he tell the world? Will all this mystery lead to a climax worth the wait?

A number of clues emerged on the latest Raw. Angle mentioned on Monday that his career can be destroyed because of this situation. He spoke to someone over the phone and told them he was proud of him.  

Jason Solomon of PWMania has an interesting theory as to what Angle will say:

That's one of just a few options that make sense. He could also possibly open up about a secret relationship with Stephanie McMahon and dig up old wounds with Triple H.

WWE doesn't have a great history of these kinds of moments feeling climactic or logical, so whatever happens, fans should keep their expectations low.

Are The Hardy Boyz About to Become "Broken?"

More and more, it looks like Matt and Jeff Hardy are on the verge of reverting to the "broken" versions of themselves they played on Impact Wrestling.

Their recent losses could be a catalyst for the change. After coming up short in the Iron Man match at Great Balls of Fire, the brothers fell to Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson on Monday night.

Before that, their declaration that they aren't going away saw them show flashes of their old characters. Words like "obsolete" and "proclamation" are pulled directly from their broken lexicon.

It's not clear where things stand with The Hardys' legal battle, but WWE has to feel confident a resolution is coming if it's teasing fans like this.

What's Ahead for Rollins? 

Rollins looks to be stepping into two stories at once.

He is still battling Wyatt, looking to prove the cult leader to be a fraud. And after Monday night, he's got issues with The Miz, too.

The Miz insulted The Kingslayer on the latest Raw, and Rollins soon came in to fight him and Miztourage off. Rollins made sure to make it clear that he didn't enter that fray to help Dean Ambrose but to silence The Miz instead.

Ambrose said he doesn't yet trust Rollins after The Shield's famous breakup in 2014.

Still, one has to wonder if there is something brewing here. Prowrestling.net columnist Jason Powell begged the question:"So we're a step closer to The Shield vs. The Miz and his Miztourage?"

That seems like quite the waste of the return of The Shield, though.

The safer bet is that Rollins will eventually slide into the Intercontinental Championship picture. The question then becomes: Will he take Wyatt with him? And will that push Ambrose out of the title scene?

Whatever WWE has planned, it has to lead to Ambrose and The Miz ending their feud in a hurry. That narrative has more than worn out its welcome.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to go with Rollins vs. The Miz, too, considering how lackluster Rollins vs. Wyatt has been.

Who Will Face Lesnar at SummerSlam?

Weeks ago, Reigns said he would face the winner of Joe vs. Lesnar at the SummerSlam for the Universal Championship. Turns out, things won't be as simple as that.

Joe dominated Lesnar for much of their bout at Great Balls of Fire. He feels he deserves another crack.

Braun Strowman defeated Reigns in an Ambulance match at the PPV, giving him a right to demand the No. 1 contender's spot.

On Monday, both Reigns and Joe stated their cases. Strowman was held up somewhere recovering from Reigns' savage post-match beatdown.

Angle decided to clear things by having Reigns and Joe battle next week for the right to face Lesnar at SummerSlam.

Is this how Reigns carves a path to The Beast Incarnate? Have Joe's tremendous showings of late earned him a rematch, one he'll secure next Monday? And what of Strowman?

It's easy to imagine this becoming a Triple Threat or Fatal 4-Way match to involve all these hosses.

WWE has quite the enviable position here. It has a number of money matches to choose from. Or it could simply cram all the options together for a single four-way explosion.
