WWE Monday Night Raw preview: October 30, 2017

After SmackDown Live besieged Monday Night Raw last week, the denizens of the Red brand were understandably too shook to respond the very next day itself.

But a week on from the attack, the WWE's flagship show has had enough time to regroup and plan their next step.

So how will Kurt Angle and Co. choose to respond to the blatant show of aggression by Shane McMahon and his charges?

Will they reply in kind by organizing a collective invasion of their Tuesday night rivals? Or does the Olympic Gold Medallist have something else in mind?

Find out in our preview of Monday Night Raw...even as the build to Survivor Series gains traction.

#5 Kurt Angle's response

Kurt Angle looked shellshocked last week when he was dragged out by the Raw Superstars at the behest of Shane McMahon.

Having had a week to get his head screwed on straight about the whole mess though, how will the GM of Raw respond to the threat that his show is under?

Will he plot a revenge attack on SmackDown Live? Or will he decide, unwisely I might add, to not engage them at their game and take the higher road?

But irrespective of what he decides to do, the biggest problem he may have is in dealing with a rampant SmackDown Live roster and Shane McMahon if they decide to pull the stunt that they did last week, again.

#4 Will Jason Jordan poke the bear... again?

The Jason Jordan - Elias feud hit lift off last week on Raw

After being constantly interrupted by the grocery stunt that Jason Jordan pulled last week, Elias eventually snapped, levelling the gold-blooded Superstar with his guitar.

After such a rapid escalation of hostilities between the two bruisers, how will their feud play out this week on Raw?

Will Jason Jordan have learnt his lesson and leave the brooding Superstar to conduct his shame-concerts in peace?

Or will he tempt fate again, as he looks to unsettle and get a rise out of Elias on Raw?

#3 Champions...for now?

Will we see a new Champion before Survivor Series?

What we know is that all the Champions in both brands are locked on to do battle with one another at Survivor Series.

But which Superstars are Champions come the pay-per-view is something that is very much still in flux.

Alexa Bliss may be the Raw Women's Champion today...but the former 6-time Champion Mickie James seems nowhere near done enough with her to suggest that she may enter Survivor Series unscathed.

The same goes with Intercontinental Champion The Miz who has antagonized a whole host of Superstars that would love nothing more than to relieve him of the strap.

And Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are way too cavalier and risk-loving for their own good to predict that they will hold on to the Raw Tag Titles for any considerable length of time.

With so many inside storylines unfolding, it is far from a certainty that the WWE Superstars who are champions today will be so when Survivor Series swings by.

But will we see the changes come into effect on Raw itself?

#2 Who will be on Team Raw?

Kurt Angle was in the middle of announcing the names of the Superstars that were tasked with upholding the honour of Monday Night Raw when he was rudely interrupted by Shane McMahon and co.

Now that some time has passed after SmackDown Live's vicious attack, will Kurt Angle pick up from where he left off and get to announcing the teams again?

Or has last week's attack changed his line of thinking?

Most importantly, how does Roman Reigns fit into the equation? Will the Raw GM wait until the Big Dog is back into the fold to announce the members of Team Raw?

Or has Shane McMahons' actions forced his hand to go ahead and form Raw's line of defence without waiting for him?

#1 Demon vs Demon?

Finn Balor may have fallen to Kane...but will the Demon?

Finn Balor was on a veritable high after defeating AJ Styles in what many are considering to be one of the best matches of the year at TLC.

But his momentum was cruelly short-lived, as he was Chokeslammed to hell by the rejuvenated Kane the very next night.

After parcelling off Braun Strowman inside a garbage truck, Kane's rampage continued on Raw when he disposed of Finn Balor and all signs point to the fact that he's far from done.

While he awaits the return of Strowman to resume hostilities with the Monster Among Men, which WWE Superstar will fall prey to the Devil's Favourite Demon next?

Or will Finn Balor, eager to redeem himself after last week's loss, hit back and unleash a Demon of his own?
