WWE Raw TV news & notes 8/10

- WWE advertised both Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker for next Monday's Raw leading into Summerslam. Raw will be in Lesnar's home market of Minneapolis.

- For the second consecutive week, Seth Rollins retained the WWE Title in a title match on Raw. This week, Rollins retained against Randy Orton, who won a #1 contender match against Cesaro and Kevin Owens earlier in the show.

Rollins did not beat Orton, though, as Orton was prepared to make a cover following an RKO when Sheamus yanked Orton out of the ring, causing a DQ.

Sheamus then tried to cash in Money in the Bank on Rollins following a Brogue Kick, but Orton dropped Sheamus with an RKO. The show went off the air with Orton standing tall over Rollins and Sheamus.

- WWE played up the idea of U.S. champion John Cena being "50/50" for Summerslam, causing the WWE Title picture to remain unclear heading into Summerslam. Cena has a reservation for a Champion vs. Champion match against Rollins.

- Daniel Bryan returned to WWE TV in his home state to a huge reception. Bryan joined The Miz for a "Miz TV" talking segment, where there was light discussion about Bryan's wrestling future. The segment ended with interruptions by Big Show and a returning Ryback before Bryan could reveal anything about his current health and potential return. Bryan eventually endorsed IC champion Ryback, who took out Miz with a Meathook Clothesline to close the segment.

- WWE said Dolph Ziggler will return to TV "after Summerslam" to resume his feud with Rusev.

- WWE ran an individual video profile on Charlotte, who talked about wanting to main-event WrestleMania and tap into the success of Ronda Rousey in UFC.

- TV actor Stephen Amell confronted Stardust to set up a tag match at Summerslam. Amell got into it physically with Stardust, then shined in a heated exchange with Triple H, who agreed to an unsanctioned fight - Amell teaming with Neville against Stardust and King Barrett at Summerslam.
