In just a few short hours, the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey will play host to the latest edition of WWE Monday Night RAW.
The go-home show for this Sunday's Extreme Rules pay-per-view, tonight's three-hour event will be the final chance for many Superstars to make a statement before the hardcore event this Sunday, which has plenty promised.
Roman Reigns will team with his old nemesis The Undertaker to battle Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon, whilst Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans will hope to claim all the gold when they meet Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
But before this Sunday, there is RAW tonight.
Here are five things you need to know before tonight's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW.
#5 The Ultimate Underdog to appear
2019 has been a difficult year for Rey Mysterio.
After being crushed by Samoa Joe in a minute at WrestleMania 35, Mysterio was able to capture the company's Grand Slam, defeating Joe for the United States title at Money in the Bank, only to be forced to relinquish it due to injury.
Tonight on Monday Night RAW though, the Ultimate Underdog will appear and we're sure he'll have plenty to say about what has happened.
With Joe now in a feud with WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, who will Mysterio target tonight, in his first appearance on the red brand in quite a while?
It's possible that Mysterio will hope to regain the title he held so briefly, which would be bad news for current US Champion Ricochet, though that isn't the only bit of big news for the Aerial Assailant, we'll get to that later...
#4 What's next for the Destroyer and the Monster Among Men?
The first RAW of the Paul Heyman era kicked off in a major way last week, when Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman brought the house down (literally), in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
After spearing Lashley through the LED stage, Strowman suffered some major injuries, including a ruptured spleen, and his medical future right now remains unclear.
Despite being the victim of the spear, Lashley has since been released from a medical facility, and has promised that the next time he sees the Greatest Royal Rumble winner, he'll send him to the morgue.
Strong words that fans wouldn't dream of hearing just a few weeks ago, it seems the envelope-pushing Heyman era is here to stay, and fans will have to wait until tonight to see what's next for these two huge Superstars
#3 The Club is back!
Though the prospect of Rey Mysterio hoping to regain the US title should be a big deal for current champion Ricochet, the young high flyer has much more immediate problems.
After retaining the US title by the skin of his teeth against AJ Styles last week, Ricochet was assaulted by the Phenomenal One as well as Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, reuniting The Club.
Styles has been a dominant force since splitting with the pair in 2016, holding the WWE Title on two occasions on his own, but was perhaps his most dominant when flanked by his long-time friends and tag partners.
With his Good Brothers by his side, is it just a matter of time before Styles once again wears the Star Spangled gold, or maybe even, the Universal title?
#2 The 'It Couple' Champions in action again
Last week on RAW, Universal Champion Seth Rollins and RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch made quick work of Mike and Maria Kanellis, but will face some tougher competition tonight.
On RAW, the pair will face off against Andrade and Zelina Vega, in another mixed tag match before the pair have their biggest challenge this Sunday at Extreme Rules.
At the pay per view, the real-life couple will face Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans in an Extreme Rules Winner Takes All Last Chance Mixed Tag Team match.
With so much on the line this Sunday, will The Man and the Beastslayer be in the right frame of mind for tonight's contest?
And what influence will Corbin and Evans have tonight on RAW, just six days away from possibly the biggest wins of their careers?
#1 Reigns to team with mystery partner tonight
This Sunday, Roman Reigns will team with The Undertaker to take on Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon in a colossal match at Extreme Rules.
But before this Sunday's pay per view, the Big Dog will have his hands full, as he'll face Shane and the Scottish Psychopath tonight on RAW, which a yet to be announced partner.
Given the actions of McMahon and McIntyre over the past few months, we're sure that there is no shortage of stars willing to team with Reigns, but it'll be Shane himself who will decide the former Universal Champion's partner.
We know it won't be the Undertaker, as he has been banned from ringside, though given his powers, it's still possible that the Phenom may have an impact on the match without being directly at ringside.
With that said, the question remains, who will Reigns be given as a partner by his own nemesis? Tune in to RAW tonight to find out!
