Tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw takes place from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, MI and it will feature more build up for the WWE Draft and WWE Battleground later this month.
With the return of the draft everyone’s been wondering who will be running Raw and SmackDown going forward. WWE has confirmed that Vince McMahon will be returning tonight on Raw. Shane McMahon and Stephanie are also being advertised to appear and it’s being teased that Vince may make a decision as to who will be filling the COO positions.
It’s also been announced that a battle royal will be held and the winner will get a shot at The Miz’s Intercontinental Championship. Last week on SmackDown Zack Ryder challenged Rusev to a United States Championship match on Raw so it’s possible that we will be seeing that as well.
Sasha Banks vs. Dana Brooke has been confirmed for Raw and stars being advertised for tonight’s show include WWE Champion Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, John Cena, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens and more.
WWE is focusing on the following points for tonight’s show:
- Vince McMahon returns
- The New Day visit The Wyatt Family at their compound
- Can Long Island Iced-Z reverse Rusev’s freight-train momentum?
- John Cena continues his partnership with Enzo and Big Cass
- A new number 1 contender for the IC Title
- Rollins’ last stand
