We're at the penultimate episode to Hell In A Cell

Monday Night RAW has taken a really interesting direction since SummerSlam. With just two episodes of RAW left until Hell In A Cell, there's no doubt that things are only going to heat up in the red brand.

Last week saw the furthering of rivalries, particularly in the main event scene. In a shocking twist, Kevin Owens quit WWE after losing his Intercontinental title shot against Seth Rollins. What the aftermath of this will be, remains to be seen. Baron Corbin instantly exploited his powers as Acting RAW GM to get one back over Finn Balor.

Things are heating up in the Women's division as well, with Alexa Bliss announcing her intentions to have a rematch with Ronda Rousey at Hell In A Cell. But that wasn't the biggest news coming out of the women's division.

Meanwhile, Constable Corbin continued to stack up the odds against Bobby Lashley, who destroyed the Ascension in a handicap match. Things are continuing to get heated in the penultimate episode to RAW. What's going to happen?


#5 Shawn Michaels returns

HBK returns to RAW

The last time we saw Shawn Michaels talking about The Undertaker, it was when he warned Roman Reigns prior to their WrestleMania bout. He's back to talk about The Undertaker and Triple H as the two are just weeks away from their final clash at Super Show Down.

What will one of the all-time greats have to say about this? He's faced both superstars on multiple occasions and had wars with them. Surely, no one knows better than Michaels does.

It's going to be really interesting to see who he's predicting for this bout. Various legends have chimed in on the match and there seems to be a split between who they think is going to win. What will HBK have to say?

#4 It's about to get Rowdy in Columbus

Ronda Rousey went on her first international tour with WWE

Ronda Rousey demolished Alexa Bliss enroute to becoming RAW Women's Champion. Rousey recently completed a world tour that saw her go from one end of the world to the other, from Toronto to Osaka.

Having completed a crazy tour that saw her receive a lot of love from the WWE Universe, she's all set to renew her focus on RAW and defending the RAW Women's Championship. This week, RAW is at Colombus, Ohio, Alexa Bliss' hometown.

It's going to be interesting to see the dynamic at play. What does Bliss have in store for Rousey ahead of their match at Hell In A Cell.

#3 The Revival get a second shot

Will The Revival continue to have The B-Team's number?

It's no secret that The Revival has had the B-Team's number. They've been their first major roadblock in their run as tag champions.

The Revival constantly getting one over The B-Team has led them to receive their third title shot in the span of less than a month. This time around, however, the old-school tag team will look to win the tag titles back and in their eyes, raise the prestige of the title. Will they be able to capture the gold?

#2 The Bellas return to action

It's been 8 long months

The last we saw of the Bellas was in their surprise return to the ring at the Women's Royal Rumble match. They made it to the final 3 but were unsuccessful as Asuka won the match.

They've been floating around since SummerSlam and while Brie is part of Bryan's rivalry against The Miz and Maryse, the Bellas will look to get back in the ring against The Riott Squad. It's by no means an easy task as the trio have been on fire since their arrival on RAW.

Will the numbers game play an advantage or will the returning Bellas prevail?

#1 The playing field is even

Strowman got the help of some useful allies

The Shield were responsible for preventing Strowman's MITB cash-in a couple of weeks ago. The past week, Reigns urged Strowman not to be a coward and cash in to set up a match at Hell In A Cell. Strowman agreed.

But in the main event, The Monster Among Men teamed up with The Big Dog to take on Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler. The twist came when Reigns tried to tag for help, only to find Strowman aligning with McIntyre and Ziggler.

Now the leader of a new faction, how will they take on The Shield and how is it going to impact the Universal title picture? Voice your opinions in the comments below.
