WWE RAW Results 27th November 2017, Live Results & Updates

All eyes will predictably be on Roman Reigns as he gears up for life as the newly crowned Intercontinental Champion.

The Big Dog isn't one to shy away from the responsibility that comes with the prestigious Championship, however, and will be eager to prove his worth as a Grand Slam Champion against whoever steps up to challenge him.

But while he looks to defend his IC Title, his Shield brethren make a beeline for Sheamus and Cesaro, in an attempt to win back the Raw Tag Team Championships.

Will all three members of the Shield be successful in their conquests?

Find out as we preview this week's episode of Monday Night Raw.

IC Championship Open Challenge?

Who will step up to challenge Roman Reigns?

Roman Reigns practically welcomed all challengers after he won the Intercontinental Championship last week from the Miz...and already, the likes of Finn Balor and Jason Jordan have expressed interest in taking him up on the offer.

Will we see a rollicking match to kick off the Roman Reigns IC Title Open Challenge this week?

If so, which Superstar on the Raw roster will actually step up to challenge the Big Dog?

And will they be able to pull off a stunning upset and relieve Reigns of the IC Championship just one week into his reign?

Tag Team Titles on the line?

Will the Bar survive the challenge of the Shield?

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose lost the Raw Tag Team Championships in all the 'under siege' confusion that ensued before Survivor Series...meaning that there's nothing stopping them from exercising their rematch clause now that the pay-per-view has tided over.

But will Sheamus and Cesaro, after losing a bitterly contested match at Survivor Series to the Usos, be willing to put themselves at risk of suffering another loss - this time involving their Championships too?

All the momentum is with the Shield...but you can never count out cornered animals...and that's exactly what Sheamus and Cesaro should they be challenged for their Titles.

Which team will emerge victorious in the almighty scrap that promises to go down on Raw?

Will the Zo Train ever stop?

Enzo Amore's run as the Cruiserweight Champion was initially considered to be a flash in the pan when he had just won the Title...but has turned into a dynasty of sorts of late.

With other Cruiserweights jumping on the bandwagon (or the Zo Train, to be exact), it seems like there is no one equipped enough to challenge his throne at the moment.

Although the other Cruiserweights not affiliated with Enzo seem to have put on a united front, they're no closer to dethroning him than they were when he embarked on his Championship run.

Will this week's episode of Monday Night Raw see the balance of power readdressed? Or will it be more of the same from the Cruiserweight division?

What is the endgame?

Paige returned to action last week on Raw, after an extended time on the shelf...but had plenty of backup in the form of Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose.

After disrupting the Fatal Fourway match to determine the number one contender for the Raw Women's Championship, Paige and co. also targetted the Champion Alexa Bliss backstage.

Which all really begs the question...what is their end game here?

If they wanted to capture the attention of the Raw Women's roster...they surely have it now. But is that all that Paige wants?

Hopefully, this week's episode of Monday Night Raw sheds more light on the matter.

A clash of monsters...again

Braun Strowman was well on his way to destroying Jason Jordan and adding him to the long line of Superstars who had fallen to the Monster...when Kane decided to play party pooper.

By attacking him viciously with a chair, the Big Red Machine gave the WWE Universe a timely reminder of his destructive capabilities and that his business with Strowman is far from finished.

And knowing Strowman, he will be itching to pay back the favour at the earliest opportunity possible.

But as always, when these two behemoths clash...there's no telling who will come out on top and at what cost.

So tune in to this week's episode of Monday Night Raw to see how it all pans out!
