The superstars of the red brand return to the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri tonight for the go-home edition of Monday Night RAW heading into this Friday’s Greatest Royal Rumble special event, live in Saudi Arabia. ProWrestling.com will have complete, exclusive live coverage of tonight’s show kicking off at 8/7c on the USA Network.
Here are the major points being discussed by WWE.com for tonight’s Monday Night RAW:
The Beast Incarnate Returns
WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will be on hand tonight for the first time since retaining the title at WrestleMania 34, and will be accompanied by his advocate Paul Heyman to discuss his upcoming cage match against Roman Reigns. Given the ambiguous state of his contract, this could be one of the last times we ever see the “Beast Incarnate” under the bright lights of RAW.
Superstar Shakeup Fallout
With the rosters now in a completely different state and more than 40 names finding a new home on RAW and Smackdown, what kind of new rivalries, partnerships and match-ups are we in store for going forward? This will be the first show in a post-Shake-up world, and with not only the Greatest Royal Rumble coming up this Friday but WWE Backlash looming in the very near future we expect there to be a whole lot of very rapid movement as the company attempts to finalize two big cards in a short amount of time.
Power Struggle on WWE RAW?
Last week we saw Stephanie McMahon overrule RAW General Manager Kurt Angle’s wishes when she signed Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to new full-time contracts despite the way they’ve treated every boss they’ve ever had. The decision made Angle look like a fool on live television and compromised his authority; could we be looking at drama in the managerial positions on Monday nights? How will Angle deal with Owens and Zayn going forward?
Woken Tag Team Champions?
There’s sort of a weird situation heading into Greatest Royal Rumble where two RAW superstars (Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt) will face two new Smackdown Live superstars (Cesaro and Sheamus) with the winner becoming the new RAW Tag Team Champions… So, the outcome of that match, taking place at this Friday’s Greatest Royal Rumble seems a little obvious at this point. Will The Bar appear on RAW tonight?
Join us tonight at 8/7c for complete WWE RAW coverage.
