After delivering one of the most compelling episodes of Monday Night Raw in recent times, WWE will be back on our screens with another edition of the red brand.
Considering that this will be the Go Home Episode for the Royal Rumble, the company could be planning something extravagant to sell one of the biggest events of the year.
Live from the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, some of the biggest superstars in the industry have been advertised to show up and grace the occasion.
Since Finn Balor dropped a bombshell by picking up a clinical victory last week to seal his spot against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship, legions of fans will have their eyes on what transpires next with the Extraordinary Man.
Moreover, another tag-team match has been announced for tonight, where Ronda Rousey and Natalya will team up to collide against the forces of Sasha Banks and Bayley.
Another storyline that would get most of the limelight on Monday night involves Braun Strowman after he was thrown out of the Universal Championship match by Vince McMahon.
Despite what transpired last week on the red brand, will Monday Night Raw deliver anything special tonight before the Royal Rumble? Let's find out.
Here are the 5 biggest things WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw.
#1 Sasha Banks and Bayley gang up and beat Ronda Rousey senselessly
Judging by how this feud has transpired, there seems to be a considerable amount of tension between Sasha Banks and the Raw Women's Champion, Ronda Rousey.
Despite the fact that the two started off well by respecting each other's developments on the red brand, the Boss certainly doesn't intend to let this golden opportunity pass her by.
With many superstars in the locker room reportedly unhappy with their directions, Vince McMahon could genuinely plan something shocking to transpire tonight on the red brand with this one.
Since a tag-team match has been announced for tonight, Banks and Bayley could look to make their own opportunity and deliver a solid statement by beating the Rowdy One senselessly.
Doing something like this only builds the anticipation for their clash at the Royal Rumble with the former Raw Women's Champion in Sasha Banks entering Chase Field as a legitimate contender.
This would also give Bayley much needed momentum for the Women's Royal Rumble match and would prove beneficial if the company is indeed serious on pulling off a Four Horsewomen angle at the Royal Rumble.
#2 Mr McMahon gets The Monster Among Men arrested for causing mayhem on Monday Night Raw
One of the significant reasons why the fans have started to give up on Braun Strowman is because of how predictable he has become on Monday Night Raw.
While the creative team hasn't really got the best out of him, especially after he turned heel to lock horns with Roman Reigns, Vince McMahon's intervention on the red brand could simply make things work for Strowman.
Since the Monster Among Men was thrown out of the Universal Championship picture after he destroyed the Boss' limo, the former Raw Tag-Team Champion could be looking to cause more mayhem on Raw.
With Baron Corbin playing a pivotal role in this story, there's bound to be a point where Braun Strowman gets his hands on the Lone Wolf and brings chaos on Monday Night Raw.
Considering that the company are bringing edgier content back on the red brand, there's a possibility that the Boss could get Strowman arrested to keep him away from Corbin and the Authority.
Something like this could genuinely work and will certainly make things more compelling between Strowman and the Authority as the Road to WrestleMania 35 progresses.
#3 Finn Balor brings the Demon King to confront Brock Lesnar in a chilling encounter
There's no denying that Finn Balor is one of the most talented in-ring performers in the WWE today and is continuing to rise to the top of the food chain.
Considering that he has now entered the race to slay the Beast Incarnate at the Royal Rumble, Balor could be putting everything on the line to get his hands on the Universal Championship.
Pinning John Cena in the main event only signified that the company could be willing to push the Extraordinary Man, and with an opponent like Lesnar, the former NXT Champion might have to embrace the dark side.
Legions of WWE fans are yearning to see Finn return as the Demon King and there's a genuine possibility that it could happen on Monday Night Raw.
Coming out as the Demon King would only make this match more compelling and engaging for the fans, with Brock Lesnar showing his adulation for the former NXT Champion.
Brock Lesnar Vs. Finn Balor could easily be one of the best matches of the year, and with Finn's demonic presence coming into contention, this could run riot at Chase Field, Arizona.
#4 EC3 interrupts Bobby Lashley's Intercontinental Championship celebration
With Bobby Lashley now holding the prestigious Intercontinental Championship, the All Mighty and Lio Rush could be in the mood for a celebration.
Since Dean Ambrose has not fared well as a dominant heel on the red brand, there's a genuine possibility that the company brings focus on another superstar on Monday night.
The Intercontinental Championship feud certainly deserves something fresh, and with new superstars from NXT set to make their presence known, EC3 could work as a genuine competitor.
The NXT call-up could work brilliantly against the likes of someone like Bobby Lashley and possesses all the credentials to carry a solid program with him, and that too for the Intercontinental Championship.
Interrupting the celebrations on Monday Night Raw, this could be an impressive way to introduce EC3 on the main roster, with the NXT call-up showing off his charisma to the Intercontinental Champion.
#5 Drew Mcintyre displays Ruthless Aggression and stands tall in a Royal Rumble preview to close the show
With Monday Night Raw hosting its final episode before the Royal Rumble, there's bound to be chaos to hype the fans for the Road to WrestleMania 35.
Considering that the company has brought a legitimate spotlight on Drew Mcintyre, Seth Rollins, and John Cena, these three superstars could play a pivotal role in a Royal Rumble preview.
There's no denying that Vince McMahon is heavily behind pushing Mcintyre to the top of Monday Night Raw, and that was pretty evident last week when the Scottish Sensation confronted the Boss.
Presenting his Ruthless Aggression to the world, the former NXT Champion could give us a preview of what's to come next Sunday at Chase Field by tossing multiple superstars and stand tall in the end.
While Seth Rollins is reportedly the favourite to walk out of Arizona with the golden opportunity, Mcintyre would definitely add some fuel to the fire by giving us a glimpse of the future on the red brand.
