Here is everything you can expect on Monday Night Raw tonight.
Not only will Brock Lesnar take off his WWE Championship run, seemingly by himself without Paul Heyman, but there will be multiple matches on tonight’s show with championship implications.
For starters, Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and Big E are scheduled to face off in the Fatal 4-way match that they were supposed to have at the Day 1 pay-per-view, only now, the match will be for the right to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship.
Big E, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Kevin Owens and Bobby Lashley will get their Fatal 4-Way Match originally slated for WWE Day 1, only this time the winner will earn the right to challenge newly crowned WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble.
After weeks of taunts and attacks, the four Superstars were set to collide for the WWE Championship at Day 1 until The Beast was added to the match hours before the event.
Big E, Rollins, Owens and Lashley could not keep Lesnar down as he survived the carnage and slipped out of The All Mighty’s Hurt Lock to deliver a pair of F-5’s to Lashley and Big E on his way to becoming a six-time WWE Champion.
With each Superstar still reeling from a chaotic Fatal 5-Way this past Saturday, who will outlast the others and earn a match with Lesnar at Royal Rumble?

Additionally, Damian Priest will once again put his WWE United States Championship on the line against Dolph Ziggler. Only this time, if he loses by disqualification, he loses the match.
Dolph Ziggler is technically 2-0 against United States Champion Damian Priest but has still walked away from both matches without the title thanks to the “Damian side” of Priest.
Ziggler and his Dirty Dawgs partner Robert Roode have pushed the buttons of the champion to send Priest into a blind rage, resulting in a count-out and a disqualification. Unfortunately for The Archer of Infamy, he’ll have to keep that darker side in check tonight in his rematch with The Showoff as any disqualification or count-out will result in Priest losing the title.
Can Priest keep calm under pressure, or will The Dirty Dawgs provoke the champion into unleashing his “Damian side” and losing his United States Title? Find out tonight on Monday Night Raw at 8/7 C on USA!
AJ Styles and Omos are also scheduled to have their match against each other this week. They were supposed to face off last week but that’s simply was pulled from the card with no real explanation. The pair had faced each other one night before at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
In the wake of accusations by The Miz on “Miz TV” that Omos had issues with his tag team partner AJ Styles, the powerful tandem failed to defeat the Mysterios after Omos refused to tag in and instead turned away from Styles.
As a result, things finally came to a head with Styles calling his Own Personal Colossus a “piece of trash” and Omos responding to The Phenomenal One’s attack by hoisting Styles into the air and hurling him eight feet down to the canvas.
Omos then made it clear that the next time Styles saw him, it would be in a match against him. After a one week hiatus, that match has been made official and will happen tonight at 8/7 C on USA!
