WWE Super Show-Down is officially in the history books, and it was truly a historic night for the company.

We saw the crowning of a new Cruiserweight Champion in Buddy Murphy, as well as a welcome return for the IIconics, who defeated Naomi and Asuka in their homeland.

With the Down Under event behind us, the attention of the WWE Universe now turns to the company's upcoming all-female pay per view Evolution at the end of this month, and the Crown Jewel event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia that takes place next month.

But before that, here are five things you need to know before tonight's Monday Night RAW.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels Respond

At Super Show-Down, Triple H defeated the Undertaker, in the last match between the pair, 22 years after their first.

It was a monumental moment, sullied slightly when Kane and the Deadman attacked the Game and Shawn Michaels, leaving the two Kliq members broken.

Tonight, The Game and HBK will respond, and with Crown Jewel mere weeks away, the WWE Universe have begun to speculate on a tag team match between the four former World Champions.

DX may have won the battle in Australia, but it seems this war is far from over.

What's next for the Shield?

After weeks of speculation over Dean Ambrose's allegiance, it seems those mouths were shut at Super Show-Down, with the Lunatic Fringe remaining loyal to his Shield brothers.

In an all-out brawl, the team of Ambrose, Rollins, and Reigns were able to fend of the Dogs of War and Braun Strowman.

With the Shield now more formidable than ever, you have to wonder what will be the next mission for the hounds of justice.

Roman will have his hands full at Crown Jewel, when he defends the Universal Championship against Strowman and former champion Brock Lesnar, but with his brother by his side, can anything stop the Big Dog?

The Evolution continues

RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey has been on a dominant streak since capturing the title at Summerslam, defeating Alexa Bliss.

At Evolution, Rousey will defend her title, as will SmackDown Live Women's Champion Becky Lynch and NXT Women's Champion Kairi Sane.

However, an opponent for Rousey has yet to be announced for the show, with no woman coming forward to challenge her.

Could this change tonight on RAW, and we see a superstar dare to go one on one with the UFC Hall of Famer?

You can see me?

For the past two years, John Cena has taken a step away from in-ring competition, as he has turned to acting, appearing in the animated hit Ferdinand, and the upcoming Bumblebee movie.

But at Super Show-Down, Cena proved that he is still Big Match John, teaming with Bobby Lashley to defeat Kevin Owens and Elias.

But with the anticipated tag match now behind him, what will Cena do next? Will he appear tonight on RAW, and if so, who will he face off against.

I guess the only man who knows is the Cenation leader himself.

Stratusfaction is guaranteed

At WWE Evolution, Hall of Famer Trish Stratus will return for a match, against 5 foot of fierce, Alexa Bliss.

This will be Stratus' second match with the company this year after she was the #30 entrant in the inaugural Women's Royal Rumble in January.

But before she faces off against Little Miss Bliss, Stratus will make an appearance tonight on RAW, where she will presumably have some strong words to say against her opponent.

With Bliss still reeling following losing the RAW Women's Championship, expect the petite powerhouse to pull no punches in her rebuttal.
