5 things you need to know before tonight's WWE Monday Night RAW: Legend returning, title changes and more!

In just a matter of hours, the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA will play host to the final edition of WWE Monday Night RAW before the biggest party of the summer: Summerslam. The temperature isn't the only thing heating up, as everyone on the RAW roster is hoping to make a good impression tonight, just days away from the Pay Per View.

Last week's show certainly didn't go how Seth Rollins had hoped, as he was attacked by Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, who will appear tonight during the three-hour broadcast. Despite this, Rollins will have to put his pain asides tonight when he confronts the Beast, just days before the two square off with the gold on the line.

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

---

#5: Who attacked the Big Dog?

Reigns was crushed under some scaffolding on last week's SmackDown Live.

Roman Reigns is known for closing many events, both on TV and on Pay Per View, but last week's edition of SmackDown Live didn't end as the Big Dog had hoped. En route to making an announcement about Summerslam, Reigns was crushed under some scaffold, and though the WWE has claimed this was a forklift-related accident, this has only opened more questions.

Since the incident, there has been plenty of speculation on Reigns' attacker, with stars like Samoa Joe, Buddy Murphy and Daniel Bryan all being put in the hot seat. Any of these men are plausible, as Joe has been Roman's latest feud, Murphy was spotted in the area moments before the attack, and Bryan proved he could drive a forklift back at Extreme Rules 2014.

Will the WWE Universe get answers tonight, and who exactly does the Big Dog hope to face at the biggest party of the Summer?

#4: Pressure mounts heading into RAW Women's title match

Who will leave Summerslam as the RAW Women's Champion?

Since WrestleMania 35, there have been few acts hotter in WWE, than Becky Lynch. After handing Ronda Rousey her first-ever loss in WWE, Lynch captured the RAW and SmackDown Women's titles and remains the dominant female on the red brand.

This Sunday though, Lynch will put her title on the line when she faces Natalya in the third-generation Superstar's homeland of Canada. Over the past few weeks, it seems Natalya has had the Champ's number, locking her in the Sharpshooter during last week's edition of Monday Night Raw.

And with the Canadian being a good friend of Rousey, could we see the Hot Rod return this Sunday, to cost The Man the very same title she took from the UFC star? Whatever happens, expect Lynch and Natalya to be bringing their A-Game tonight on RAW.

#3: What's next for the history-making Champion?

Could the WWE 24/7 Champion Maria Kanellis lose the title tonight?

As fans, we all know to never say never in WWE, but I don't think many of us saw coming what happened last week. After capturing the 24/7 Championship, Mike Kanellis would lose the title to his own wife Maria, making the former Diva Search contestant the first-ever pregnant champion in WWE history.

Since capturing the gold, Maria hasn't exactly been cautious with the gold that must be defended at all times, instead openly bragging to everyone from Drake Maverick to the monster among men Braun Strowman.

Though Maverick has said he has no issue pinning a pregnant woman if it means becoming a five-time Champion, the British Superstar is yet to strike and if she survives tonight, Maria could be entering Summerslam as the 24/7 Champion. Of course, given the 24/7 title, it's highly possible that Maria could find herself without the gold during tonight's three-hour show.

#2: The Beast strikes

Brock Lesnar demolished the number one contender in a vicious assault last week.

WWE Summerslam is just days away, but for Seth Rollins, the iconic Pay Per View can't come soon enough. After losing the Universal title to Mr. Money in the Bank Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules, Rollins had made it clear nothing will stop him in his efforts to regain the gold, not even last week's assault by the Beast.

Not only will the Architect be on RAW tonight, but so will Lesnar, one of the champion's few appearances on the red brand. Lesnar has both the title, the champion's advantage, and plenty of confidence going into the match this Sunday, so expect the Beast to be in a good mood tonight.

Though Rollins has vowed nothing will stop him, a second attack just like last week's may mark the end for the Beastslayer's chances.

#1: Fear the Spear!

Goldberg has been rumored to appear at Summerslam and could return to Monday Night RAW tonight.

Goldberg hasn't been seen in WWE since his appearance at Super Showdown earlier this year, and there's probably a reason for that. During the much-panned match, the former Universal Champion concussed himself, leading to both he and The Undertaker delivering an underwhelming dream match.

According to reports, Goldberg is hoping to wash the bad taste left by his match in Jeddah, by competing this Sunday at Summerslam, reportedly against Dolph Ziggler. On SmackDown Live recently, the Show Off called the former Universal Champion an embarrassment, and it seems like the WWE legend won't be taking this comment lightly.

With Summerslam just days away though, the WWE will have to work fast to put the bout together, which means there's a large chance Goldberg will appear tonight on WWE Monday Night RAW.
