In just a few hours, the WWE will host the latest episode of Monday Night RAW as we continue on the road to WrestleMania 35.

With the Royal Rumble now firmly in the rear-view mirror, fans attentions turn towards the Elimination Chamber, and the chance for one of six teams to become the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.

Before we enter the satanic structure though, tonight's RAW is shaping up to be must-see, with two Hall of Famers scheduled to appear.

In addition, we'll also have a special appearance by The Man, as well as a huge title match featuring two of the red brand's biggest stars at the moment.

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

#5: The Man comes around

The Royal Rumble pay per view may not have started the way that Becky Lynch wanted, but she made the most of it, winning the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble.

Ever unpredictable, The Man has even jumped shows, and instead of hoping to regain the SmackDown Women's Title from Asuka at WrestleMania 35, will now face RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey instead.

The match between Rousey and Lynch will no doubt be epic and is rumoured to be main eventing the show of shows, the first women's match to ever do so.

Before WrestleMania though, Lynch will appear on RAW tonight, at the invitation of Stephanie McMahon.

What will McMahon have in store for Lynch, who should still be wary of Rousey, who is hoping to finish her incredible debut year as a WWE Superstar with a win at WrestleMania.

#4: Angle to address the fans

Kurt Angle will address the WWE Universe live on RAW tonight, about his future role with WWE.

Debuting in late 1999, Kurt Angle has done everything there is to do in WWE.

Not only an Olympic Gold Medalist, Angle has also held the European, Intercontinental, United States, Tag Team, WWE, WCW and World Heavyweight Titles in WWE, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017.

With so much accomplished, fans have to wonder, what's next for the Olympian?

That question may be answered tonight, as Angle is to address the WWE Universe live on RAW.

Speculation has been rife on what Angle, who appeared in the Men's Royal Rumble match has to say, but with WrestleMania 35 around the corner, perhaps the Suplex Machine is looking for his next opponent, after an incredible return to the showcase of the Immortals last year.

#3: That's J-E-Double-F!

Jarrett will have his first match on RAW in almost 20 years tonight.
Jarrett will have his first match on RAW in almost 20 years tonight.

It's been nearly 20 years since the WWE Universe last saw Jeff Jarrett compete on Monday Night RAW, but tonight, all of that changes.

After entering number 2 in the 2019 Men's Royal Rumble, Jarrett drew the ire of Elias, who continued his heel turn last week on RAW.

Tonight though, the Living Truth and the former WCW World Champion will face off in the ring.

Despite his age, Double-J is still in great shape and is expected to hold his own against Elias tonight.

And Jarrett won't be heading to RAW alone tonight, as he'll be flanked by the Road Dogg Jesse James, who worked as the Roadie during Jarrett's time with the company in 1995.

With the former Tag Team Champion by his side, could Jarrett pick up a huge win on RAW after nearly two decades?

#2: Final Raw Chamber spot up for grabs

At the Elimination Chamber pay per view, the WWE will take their next step on the Women's Revolution, with the introduction of the new WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.

Whilst every woman on the roster will hope to hold the new titles aloft, only two will be able to do so as inaugural champions, and will have to go through hell to do so.

With four teams already qualified for the Elimination Chamber match, just one spot remains for the women of Monday Night RAW.

Sasha Banks and Bayley are hoping to get that final spot, but will have to go through Alicia Fox and Nikki Cross to do so.

Whilst many would predict the Boss 'n Hugs connection to beat the makeshift team of Fox and Cross, a reported Banks injury may be their undoing.

#1: Balor hopes for gold tonight

Finn Balor may not have captured the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble, but the Irishman certainly impressed against Brock Lesnar.

And whilst the Extraordinary Man made a believer out of many members of the WWE Universe, two people who weren't impressed were Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush.

Attacking Balor last week, the Intercontinental Champion and his hype man certainly have a problem with the former NXT star.

With that said, Balor hopes to get sweet payback on the two tonight, by defeating Lashley tonight and taking the Intercontinental Championship in the process.

Balor hasn't held gold in WWE for nearly three years, with his last reign lasting just one day.

No doubt the Irishman hopes to turn things around tonight and become the latest Superstar to become WWE IC Champion.
