It's Monday Night RAW's SummerSlam go-home show and fans of the WWE will be treated to some storyline progression heading into the second biggest event of the year, including a title match.

According to WWE.com, the B-Team will defend their RAW Tag Team Championships against The Revival and The Deleter of Worlds. The B-Team had a match against The Revival last week, where they were interrupted by Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy. It seems the former Tag Champs are looking to regain their titles before SummerSlam.

Finn Balor and Constable Baron Corbin will also be in action tonight, but in separate matches. Before their bout at SummerSlam, Balor and Corbin will go one-on-one with different opponents so the two don't hurt each other before then.
