WWE Royal Rumble is in the rearview mirror, and Monday’s episode of WWE RAW will deal with the fallout.
First, Brock Lesnar will appear on the show to pick his opponent at WWE WrestleMania 38. “The Beast Incarnate” won the 30-man battle royal at the premium live event on Saturday. In doing so, he earned the right to challenge the champion of his choosing at “The Showcase of the Immortals.” Lesnar entered WWE Royal Rumble as the reigning WWE Champion, but Roman Reigns cost him his match with Bobby Lashley. It’s fair to wonder whether he’ll choose to target Reigns’ Universal Championship in an effort to get some revenge.
It was a rollercoaster night for @BrockLesnar, but after losing his WWE Championship and winning the #RoyalRumble, The Beast is back on #WWERaw to decide who he will challenge at #Wrestlemania.https://t.co/aR4SuNrFfy

The company also announced that Lashey will ring in the new “All Mighty Era” on WWE RAW.
The official preview, courtesy of the WWE website, is as follows:
Bobby Lashley is once again WWE Champion, and that means The All Mighty Era is back on Raw.
After getting an unexpected assist from Roman Reigns during his collision with Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble, Lashley pinned The Beast to become WWE Champion for the second time.
He and an elated MVP are now set to usher in their All Mighty Era on Raw once again just in time for The Road to WrestleMania to truly kick off.
