In just a few short hours, the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, will host the latest installment of WWE Monday Night RAW.

But before ladders are thrown into the mix in less than three weeks, the men and women of the RAW roster will have to survive tonight.

Plenty has already been announced for tonight's show and expect some surprises along the way.

Here are five things you need to know before tonight's explosive edition of WWE Monday Night RAW.

5: How will the shakeup latecomers fare?

Cesaro made his return to RAW last week with a big win over Cedric Alexander.

The 2019 WWE Superstar shakeup is in the history books, but that hasn't stopped the McMahon family from making some major changes to the rosters.

Last week, Samoa Joe and Cesaro made their presence felt on the red brand with both men impressing.

Cesaro is a former Tag team and United States Champion, and after splitting with his Bar brother Sheamus, is looking to re-establish himself as a singles star.

Meanwhile, Joe is the reigning US Champion and has been unstoppable since capturing the title, notable destroying Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 35.

What will the Swiss Superman and the Samoan Submission Machine have to say tonight as the newest members of the Monday Night Raw roster?

Tune in tonight when WWE invades the Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY to find out.

4: The doors to the Firefly Funhouse are open

The former WWE Champion returned to WWE TV last week under a very new look which has left Superstars and fans befuddled.

After weeks of truly bizarre segments, the WWE Universe was shocked during the last episode of RAW when Bray Wyatt made his return to television.

Despite being a cult leader in the past, this new Wyatt seems like a completely different person to the monster who once held the WWE Championship.

Though this new Wyatt has more in common with Mr. Rogers than Charles Manson, there is something not quite right with the revamped Eater of Worlds.

The new Wyatt has definitely sent shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe with his colorful personality, unique new friends, and cryptic words.

We don't have a clue when Wyatt will return to the ring, but expect another creepy visit to the Funhouse tonight.

3: The Man is down but not out

The Man has vowed to retain both of her titles when she faces Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair at Money in the Bank.

The incredible saga of Becky Lynch has continued to gain steam ever since she won the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships at WrestleMania.

Defeating Alicia Fox on last week's RAW, The Man did suffer a setback when she was ambushed by Lacey Evans.

This wasn't the first time that the Southern Belle of WWE has attacked Lynch, whom she will face at Money in the Bank for the RAW Women's Championship.

One of two title matches Lynch will have at the event, what is going through the Champions mind, less than three weeks before what is sure to be a huge night?

If Evans is able to hit just one of her devastating right hooks, Becky Two Belts may need herself a new nickname.

2: A Moment of Bliss gets MITB exclusive

Bliss will reveal which RAW Superstars will fight for the Money in the Bank contracts.

Wrestler. Goddess. Manager. Interviewer. WrestleMania host, and now a roving reporter.

Tonight, Alexa Bliss will host a special episode of her 'A Moment of Bliss' talk-show, where the petite powerhouse will reveal which RAW Superstars will compete in the men's and women's Money in the Bank ladder matches.

A staple of WWE over the past 14 years, the Money in the Bank ladder match has allowed Superstars to leapfrog into the main event scene, with stars like Edge, Seth Rollins, Rob Van Dam, and CM Punk all getting their first World titles after winning MITB.

The match is also one Bliss knows personally, winning last year's Women's ladder match.

Who will be announced tonight on RAW, and which of those risk-taking souls will emerge the new Mr and Miss Money in the Bank?

1: Tensions rise ahead of Universal Title dream match

Rollins will face Styles at Money in the Bank

After being drafted to RAW in the 2019 Superstar Shakeup, AJ Styles has wasted no time in making the red brand his domain.

Becoming the number one contender for the Universal title last week, Styles will face Universal Champion Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank in what is sure to be a dream match.

The first singles bout between the two, both men will be willing to put it all on the line in the hopes of capturing the richest prize on RAW.

Styles is no stranger to championship gold, holding the WWE title twice, with one of those reigns lasting over a year.

With that said, Rollins did defeat Brock Lesnar to win the Universal gold, so expect something big tonight when the pair meet just weeks before their huge title match.
