WWE Monday Night RAW Live Results: Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey Return

WWE's Monday Night RAW will be live from Miami July 30 and while past Superstars are rumored to appear on the show, it's already confirmed that Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey will return tonight.

Lesnar hasn't appeared on WWE television since defeating Roman Reigns at The Greatest Royal Rumble, and since then the "Big Dog" won another title opportunity at SummerSlam. The Beast Incarnate will bring the Universal Title to RAW and confront Reigns. But with Braun Strowman holding the Money in the Bank contract, will Lesnar leave as champion?

Rousey's suspension after inserting herself into Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss' match at Extreme Rules is up. Now she has her sights set on Little Miss Bliss. With their SummerSlam bout set to decide the RAW Women's Championship, will Rousey send a message to the Champion?

According to WWE.com, Finn Balor will take on Constable Corbin again while Seth Rollins will tussle with Drew McIntyre. This episode of Monday Night RAW should have a lot going on. Here are all the live results from the evening:
