What to watch for on Monday Night Raw
Finn Balor and Damian Priest of the Judgement Day recaptured the undisputed WWE Universal Championships last week, defeating Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso in the main event of the show. The team got some help from Jimmy Uso, who interfered in the match and superkicked his brother to cost them the titles. A few days later on Smackdown, Jey snuck through the crowd and attacked Jimmy before being escorted out by security. Tonight, the Judgement Day will celebrate recapturing the tag titles to start the show and Priest will go one-on-one with Jey in the main event.
Drew McIntyre has a World Heavyweight Championship shot lined up against Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel and will look to gain some momentum when facing an old rival in Sami Zayn tonight. McIntyre has continued to take umbrage with Jey Uso being on Raw and people like Zayn being willing to forgive him. He’s continually brought up how the Bloodline screwed him over in the past and Rollins has responded by telling him to get over it and stop feeling sorry for himself. Meanwhile, Zayn is trying to find his way as a singles competitor again since his partner Kevin Owens was sent to Smackdown a few weeks ago. We’ll see who comes out on top in this clash.
Logan Paul will make his return to Monday Night Raw tonight ahead of his United States title clash with Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel. The social media superstar challenged the WWE Hall of Famer following his boxing match against Dillon Danis and appeared on Smackdown this past Friday. The two came face-to-face in the ring where the Mysterio officially accepted the challenge. We’ll hear what Paul has to say tonight ahead of this showdown.
NXT Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is set to defend her title against Lyra Valkyria during NXT’s Halloween Havoc tomorrow night. But before she can get to that event, she’ll put her title on the line against Indi Hartwell this evening. “Big Time Becks” has been welcoming all challengers since she won the title last month and Hartwell has been one of the many women who has stepped forward to ask for a title shot. If you remember, she won the NXT women’s title earlier in the year, but had to relinquish it due to injury. We’ll see if she can win back the championship she never lost tonight.
Also on the show, the New Day will take on the Alpha Academy in tag team action. We should also hear from Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley as she preps for a Fatal Five-Way match at Crown Jewel.
