5 things you need to know before tonight's WWE Monday Night RAW (May 27th, 2019)

In just a few hours, the Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO, will play host to the latest edition of WWE Monday Night RAW.

Following a shocking Money in the Bank pay per view, there have been plenty of questions, none of which is greater than 'when will Brock Lesnar cash-in his Money in the Bank contract'?

Lesnar, who hadn't been seen since his WrestleMania 35 loss, shocked everyone at the pay per view when he entered the Men's MITB Ladder match and captured the guaranteed title match contract.

But asides from the Beast Incarnate, there is plenty already announced for tonight's edition of RAW, and you'd be wise to expect some surprises along the way.

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

#5 24/7 Championship chaos continues

Truth has gone into hiding since he became the third 24/7 Championship last week.

Last week on RAW, the WWE unveiled their new 24/7 Championship, and whilst it may not be the prettiest belt around, it is quickly becoming one of the most entertaining.

Much like its predecessor the Hardcore title, the gold must be defended at all times and has so far been held by Titus O'Neil, Robert Roode and current champion R-Truth.

The rapping grappler has quickly made a long list of enemies since becoming champion who would be thrilled to be the one to take the gold off of him.

Whether it be Matt Hardy lurking around car parks, Heath Slater suspiciously inviting Truth to Barbeques, or 205 Live GM Drake Maverick handing out wanted posters, it seems everyone wants a piece of the champion.

At least Truth has an ally in the trusty Carmella, for now...

#4 Who will Becky face next?

The Man Becky Lynch was victorious in tag team action last week, working alongside Nikki Cross.

She may be back down to Becky One Belt, but The Man is still riding high as the RAW Women's Champion.

After retaining her title against Lacey Evans at Money in the Bank, Lynch went one step further, toppling the former US Marine in tag matches on both RAW and SmackDown Live.

It seems that The Man is looking for a new challenger, which may be crowned tonight.

Despite these losses though, Evans remains positive that she will be the next RAW Women's Champion, as the Southern Belle claims she has unfinished business with the Lass-Kicker.

How will Belle retaliate after these losses, as she hopes to prove why she deserves one more shot at one of the most popular Superstars in the women's division in recent memory?

#3 What to do with AEW?

How will WWE respond to AEW following the new promotion's Double or Nothing show?

We can't ignore the elephant in the room, and that elephant goes by the name AEW.

The newest hit around, All Elite Wrestling had their very first pay per view Double or Nothing last week, which was a monumental success.

A show that featured some huge former WWE stars, including Chris Jericho and Jim Ross, Double or Nothing also saw the debut of Jon Moxley, formerly Dean Ambrose.

In short, the show was great, and WWE should take notice.

After such an epic event, how will WWE respond to the new promotion, led by former Superstar Cody Rhodes, who took on his brother Dustin 'Goldust' Rhodes in a bloodied war at the show?

Hopefully we get some answers tonight, as it seems a new war is starting between the two companies.

#2 What is the fate of the United States Championship?

Even Mysterio was surprised when he captured the United States title at Money in the Bank.

Rey Mysterio may have toppled Samoa Joe at Money in the Bank to capture the United States title, but this win was very controversial.

Whilst in the pinfall, Joe's shoulder was clearly off the mat, though poor officiating by referees gave Mysterio the win, the title, and WWE's Grand Slam.

Furious, Joe has demanded action, and it looks like his wish will be granted, as the future of the US Title will be addressed tonight on RAW.

Will Mysterio be able to hold on to the gold he won under controversial means, or will this incredible reign end just as quickly as it began?

Whatever happens, expect Rey, Joe, and Rey's son Dominic, to have plenty to say once the dust is settled tonight on RAW.

#1 Beast in the Bank to announce plans

Lesnar will announce who he plans to cash-in on tonight.

At WWE Money in the Bank, Brock Lesnar made his shocking return to the company, capturing the men's ladder match contract.

The first appearance of the Beast following his WrestleMania 35 Universal Championship loss to Seth Rollins, Lesnar hasn't exactly won himself any fans, but now has a guaranteed shot at either the Universal gold or WWE Championship at any point of his choosing.

Tonight on RAW, Lesnar will announce which champion he will choose to face.

While it seems likely that the Beast will pick Rollins who slew him last month, there's always a chance Lesnar will take his frustrations out on WWE Champion Kofi Kingston.

What better way to cement yourself as WWE's greatest monster than by ending the reign of a man who fought for eleven years for the gold?
