The biggest match of tonight's episode of RAW sees WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins in action days before he defends his title against The Fiend at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.

Rollins faces Wyatt's former protege Erick Rowan on RAW tonight in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Rowan had received a mini push on SmackDown before being drafted over to RAW and will be looking to make an instant impression. For Rollins it isn't just about winning tonight, but also preserving himself for Thursday's Crown Jewel match against The Fiend. Rollins will want to end this one as quickly as possible, but that's easier said than done.

#4 Ricochet to face Drew McIntyre in a rematch from last week

Drew McIntyre was revealed as the last member of Team Flair last week on RAW. McIntyre faced Ricochet in a singles match in a bid to impress Flair. Although he didn't exactly make short work of Ricochet, McIntyre did win his first match back on RAW in a decisive manner.

Ricochet will get another shot tonight in a rematch against McIntyre, and will be looking to get the win and some momentum for Team Hogan.

#3 Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair to appear

Team Hogan and Team Flair will go up against each other at Crown Jewel on Thursday. Team Hogan will be represented by Roman Reigns, Rusev, Ricochet, Ali and Gable while Team Flair consists of Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Both Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan will be on RAW tonight in one last war of words ahead of the showdown later this week. This follows the six-man tag on SmackDown last Friday which was won by Team Hogan members.

#2 Rusev and Lana to appear on the King's Court

Jerry Lawler will host a special 'Divorce Court' edition of the King's Court tonight with Rusev and Lana as his guests. This storyline hasn't started very well and it will be a surprise to see if tonight's angle does anything to improve it.

Last week's episode of RAW saw Rusev publicly confront Lashley and Lana in a restaurant before getting 'arrested.'

#1 Becky Lynch faces Kairi Sane in a singles match for the first time

Monday Night RAW will see RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch taking on Kairi Sane in a singles match. Sane is one half of the WWE Women's Tag-Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors. This will incidentally be the first time Lynch and Sane have faced each other in singles action on RAW.

We aren't sure who Lynch's next title challenger will be at this point, but if Sane gets a win tonight, even if it's with help from Asuka, it should put Kairi Sane near the very top of that list.
