It's going to be quite a busy "Monday Night Raw" for the WWE with several topics in and outside of the ring.

Brock Lesnar's UFC Return & "SummerSlam" Confirmation

It was announced last weekend that Brock Lesnar, who is still contracted in the WWE, will compete at the "UFC 200" event against Mark Hunt. The WWE was quick to comment on the topic and confirmed Lesnar will still have a role at its next major pay per view -- "SummerSlam."

"Brock Lesnar remains under contract to WWE, however, he has been granted a one-off opportunity to compete at UFC 200," the WWE said in a statement. "Following this milestone event on July 9, Brock will return to WWE for SummerSlam on Sunday, August 21, live on WWE Network."

Lesnar is not expected to appear on "Raw," but do expect the WWE to briefly mention it.

AJ Styles vs. John Cena

Last Monday, John Cena returned to WWE programming following an injury, and he was confronted by AJ Styles. Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson and Styles, all known as "The Club" then attacked Cena. The WWE then announced the "Dream Match" of Styles vs. Cena at "WWE Money in the Bank." On Monday night, expect the WWE to heavily promote the match as a sign of its "New Era."

Playtime Is Over? Enter Becky Lynch

WWE Women's Champion Charlotte and Dana Brooke have formed an alliance and attacked Natalya last week until Becky Lynch made the save. The WWE will likely book a tag team match between the four women for "Money in the Bank" but expect Brooke to compete in the ring, doing Charlotte's dirty business.

Seth Rollins to Compete?

It's now two weeks since Seth Rollins made his return but he has yet to compete in the ring. As expected, Rollins was not booked to compete last week, and it's unknown if he'll have a match tonight as the company could be saving his televised in-ring for "Money in the Bank, but he has returned to the live events circuit in the last few days.

Money in the Bank Time

Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Dean Ambrose, Chris Jericho, Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio have been confirmed to compete for the Money in the Bank ladder match, but a seventh name is still under wraps. With the pay per view still a few weeks away, the WWE could be withholding the final entrant for the last moment, which may also fall in line with Bray Wyatt's return.

"WWE Monday Night Raw" airs weekly at 8 p.m. ET on the USA Network.
