But you know the main talking points. Will edit it in when it becomes available.​

Curious what they do with Theory. I mean having him come down when he did very much looked in character, stopping the cash in was good, but not even an offensive move of any sort? Kind of made him look like a chump. Just curious how he talks himself out of it.

Drew tags with someone vs the Usos I assume?

I half expect Liz to start a heel turn, which would be bad. But what does a Babyface say about what happened?

No Braves tonight, which I’m glad about cause I wanna watch this. They have my attention.

As was noted earlier, Triple H plans to make a big statement with tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw.

The expectation is that Triple H will be bringing back names that have either quit or were released by the company and expect to see one major name back really soon...possibly as soon as tonight.

WrestlingNews.co is told that an agreement has been reached for Sasha Banks and Naomi to return to the company. There is a belief backstage that we may see them return on tonight's show or in the near future under Triple H's regime.

Dave Meltzer noted last week that WWE was looking at trying to work things out with Banks and Naomi and it seems that all is well between both sides. The creative issues that Banks and Naomi had was with Vince McMahon and not Triple H.

One has to wonder if this will open the door for the return of the Women's Tag Team Titles that have remained dormant after Banks and Naomi were indefinitely suspended by Vince McMahon.

Not reputable so take it for what it's worth

Well known leaker on Reddit confirmed that Sasha returning is real

WWE is planning a big show for tonight’s episode of Raw as it’s expected to have more viewers tuning in than normal due to it coming off Saturday’s SummerSlam event. It's also the first show that Triple H will be in complete control of, as last week's events were written by Vince McMahon before he resigned from the company.

WrestleVotes reports that the episode looks good and is said to be a packed show. The USA Network has also offered to let the first hour be commercial-free if WWE wants.

WWE has still not announced any matches or segments for the show. As previously reported, tonight's episode is sounding like it will be a "statement" show.

Leading up to SummerSlam, it was reported that Triple H, now in charge of creative, had a surprise planned. That turned out to be the return of Bayley, IYO Sky (Io Shirai), and Dakota Kai, who formed a new faction.​

1 full hour without commercials if they wanted

Sasha & Naomi to replace Becky to face the three Bayley, Io, Kai

The Usos to battle The Mysterios in an Undisputed WWE Tag Team Title Match​

Fresh off their victory over The Street Profits at SummerSlam, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos will look to defend their titles against The Mysterios in what is sure to be an instant Raw classic.

Rey and Dominik Mysterio overcame The Judgment Day at The Biggest Event of the Summer thanks in part to the surprise return of Edge. Can the first father-and-son Tag Team Champions overcome one of the greatest tandems in WWE history at the height of their success?
​

A pair of Triple Threat Matches will determine who will battle for the right to challenge United States Champion Bobby Lashley​

Tonight, Dolph Ziggler, Ciampa and Chad Gable will square off in a Triple Threat Match. In addition, AJ Styles, Mustafa Ali and The Miz will battle in another free-for-all. Then, the two winners of those high-stakes showdowns will collide for a United States Championship opportunity.​

[bradatar]

Sasha and Naomi really what all this fuss is over or they got something else up their sleeve? They’re doing something right because this is the most excited I’ve been for RAW in probably years.
