WWE has taken their brand of Sports Entertainment across the pond as tonight's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW will take place at the 02 Arena in London, England. With WWE Money in the Bank airing this Sunday, the men and women on the red brand will have no time to enjoy the sights of merry old England, as they'll be too busy preparing for one of the most exciting nights of the year.

For 16 lucky Superstars, they'll have the chance of a lifetime, as all they have to do is win the titular ladder match. Of course, this is easier said than done, as superstars rarely emerge from the iconic ladder match, now in its 14th year, unscathed.

Before the huge pay-per-view this Sunday though, the superstars of Monday Night RAW will have to survive tonight, and though some parts have been announced, expect plenty of surprises along the way. Here are five things you really need to know before tonight's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW.


#5 Styles and Rollins' final showdown

Who will gain the momentum going into the Universal title match this Sunday at WWE Money in the Bank?

Since capturing the WWE Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, Seth Rollins has been on a roll. However, the Beastslayer is now facing a huge obstacle in the form of AJ Styles, who joined the red brand after three years on SmackDown thanks to this year's Superstar Shake-up.

Already a two-time WWE Champion (and former US Champion) Styles has vowed to take the Universal gold from Rollins, and could do just that this Sunday at WWE Money in the Bank. Of course, don't expect the archtect of the Shield to go down without a fight. What will the pair have to say tonight, just days away from one of the biggest nights in both men's careers?

#4 Big Money matches for momentum

Old foes Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre will lock horns tonight.

WWE Money in the Bank is just six days away, and for eight RAW Superstars, the event is an opportunity of a lifetime. Baron Corbin, Alexa Bliss, Drew McIntyre, Natalya, Ricochet, Dana Brooke, Braun Strowman and Naomi will all be repping the red brand in the two titular ladder matches, where the winners get a guaranteed title match of their choosing.

Before Sunday though, these eight stars will have to survive tonight, as some huge matches have been made to excite the crowd before the pay per view.

Tonight, the Monster Among Men Braun Strowman will take on his old foe Drew McIntyre, whilst Ricochet will face the always despicable Baron Corbin. As for the women, they will meet in Fatal 4-Way action, with the winner certainly having an edge going into Sunday.

#3 The Big Dog to appear on Miz TV

Miz and Reigns will need to keep their heads on a swivel during Miz TV.

He may now be one of WWE's most beloved Superstars, but The Miz hasn't let go of his Hollywood lifestyle quite just yet. The star of Miz and Mrs will once again be hosting Miz TV tonight, which will feature Roman Reigns as the A-Lister's guest.

Miz and Reigns are no stranger to each other, feuding over the Intercontinental Championship in the past. But, with both men seemingly on the same page (for now!) it'll be interesting what the two have to say tonight, just six days away from Money in the Bank.

Both Reigns and Miz have huge matches this Sunday against Elias and Shane McMahon respectively, so don't be surprised if the Living Truth and the Best in the World make their presence felt on RAW tonight.

#2 RIP Rambling Rabbit

What does the creepy Wyatt have planned for tonight's show?

Last week the WWE Universe tuned in, not only to Monday Night RAW, but to another weird episode of Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House. During the broadcast, it seems that Rambling Rabbit will ramble no longer, after being eaten by Mercy the Buzzard who accused the deceased bunny of trying to push his 'Bohemian' agenda on him.

As the Fun House continues to develop, so does its occupants, as last week's episode ended with the former WWE World Champion having a picnic with some very morose looking children.

Something is clearly amiss in the house, though fans still aren't sure what the Eater of World's intentions are now that he's traded in his sheep mask and apron for a comfy sweater. What awaits us tonight in what will be another bizarre edition of Wyatt's new show?

#1 Double Trouble for The Man Becky Lynch

Lynch, Flair and Evans will meet in the ring tonight to make the title matches official.

Becky Lynch may have captured both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships at WrestleMania 35, but this Sunday, The Man faces her greatest challenge.

As a dual-champion, Lynch is expected to defend both titles, and will face off against Lacey Evans for the RAW title at Money in the Bank, and will face old foe Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown gold at the same event.

Tonight, Becky will share the ring with both Evans and Flair for a huge contract signing for both title matches. Now, with this being WWE, don't expect this contract signing to go off without a hitch.

Instead, prepare for verbal barbs and fists to fly as The Man faces the real possibility of becoming Becky No Belts this Sunday at Money in the Bank.
