How will Drew McIntyre respond to Randy Orton’s attack?
Drew McIntyre never saw it coming.

Randy Orton made it clear that he’s coming for McIntyre’s WWE Championship last Monday on Raw, and The Viper struck first, dropping the champion with a thunderous RKO after McIntyre’s grueling win over Dolph Ziggler in an Extreme Rules Match. How will the fearless WWE Champion react to Orton’s ruthless attack outta nowhere? Find out on Raw, this Monday at 8/7 C on USA!

Will Asuka be out for retribution on Sasha Banks & Bayley?
Last Monday, Bayley’s vicious attack on Asuka’s friend and tag team partner Kairi Sane allowed Sasha Banks to capture the Raw Women’s Championship. But not long after, Asuka’s agony turned into pure rage.

How will Bayley & The Boss’ reign of dominance across brands continue? Will Asuka be out for payback after the career-ending attack on her best friend? Find out this Monday on Raw at 8/7 C on USA!

Apollo Crews and MVP will battle for the United States Title to kick off Raw
Will the real United States Champion please stand up?

Apollo Crews and MVP will settle that question to kick off this Monday night’s Raw as they battle for the United States Title.

The storied prize has been clouded in controversy lately. Crews was originally set to defend the Championship against MVP at The Horror Show at WWE Extreme Rules, but wasn’t cleared to compete as a result of Bobby Lashley’s attack.

As a result, MVP declared himself the new Champion, even unveiling a new title.

With Crews ready to go — and likely fed up with the braggadocious MVP’s antics in recent weeks — can he finally silence his boisterous rival? Or will MVP solidify his claim to the gold?

We were doing so well without Shane

 

[Chris]

why

 

[Apoho Creed]

Shane O Mac back to talk about himself. I'm actually interested to see what the future holds for him, also time for MVP to win that Us Tile!

 

[Cwalker]

I just remembered Shane and Drew have a history. Shane bout to challenge him for the title

If you just spoke this into existence then I'm banning you

I wouldn’t blame you

 

[Jimmy King]

Hopefully it’ll still be a decent show. MVP and Apollo has potential, and whatever Asuka will do to get revenge for her pal Kairi should be fun.

UNDISPUTED ERA???

 

[Chris]

Mean Street Posse reunion since Shane gonna be back?

Faction info

Spoiler: Raw tonight

The name of the new faction is almost certainly going to be Justus. WWE filed for the trademark on the same day they did "Hurt Business".

 

[Sky]

Also, Ric Flair returning tonight

Vince is PANICKING at the idea of his ratings plumbing new depths

 

[Chris]

I guess I'll reply to that in spoiler form too just to be safe

Spoiler: Spoiler

that sounds like a Seth thing, maybe they're finally naming his group and adding someone. Misleading to say a "New faction" is coming in your tweet if that's the case though

 

[Necro]

Now rumors are coming out that Vince is flipping out today at Raw, and the mood backstage is chaotic.
