Full preview:

Rollins & Ambrose aim to become two-time Raw Tag Team Champions

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have each earned singles victories over Cesaro & Sheamus — the team that captured the Shield brothers’ Raw Tag Team Titles earlier this month — and now they’ll get their rematch against The Bar live on Raw, emanating from Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center.

With Roman Reigns now holding the Intercontinental Title, a victory for the brothers-in-arms would put championship gold around all three Hounds of Justice’s waists. Can The Lunatic Fringe and The Kingslayer conquer The Celtic Warrior and The Swiss Cyborg?

Cruiserweights collide in pursuit of championship glory

This past Monday night, Rich Swann defeated Akira Tozawa, Ariya Daivari and Noam Dar in a Fatal 4-Way Match to advance to a Dec. 11 Raw bout that will determine the next challenger to WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore. Swann’s opponent in that match will be decided on the forthcoming edition of Raw, where a second Fatal 4-Way Match will feature Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali, Drew Gulak and Tony Nese.

Who will go on to challenge Swann for the right to battle The Certified G for his “boo”? We’ll find out on Raw.

Will Roman Reigns get payback against Samoa Joe?

Roman Reigns was triumphant in his first Intercontinental Championship defense — making Elias sing the blues — but the celebration didn’t last long. As The Big Dog made his way up the entrance ramp, the rampaging Samoa Joe attacked Reigns and locked him in the Coquina Clutch, sending a sickening message to the fighting champion.

Joe has officially entered Reigns’ yard, and he’s looking for a fight. Now that their tumultuous rivalry has reignited, how will Reigns repay The Samoan Submission Specialist?

Sasha Banks battles Paige one-on-one

After Absolution used a divide-and-conquer strategy this past Monday night to lay out Bayley and Mickie James in the locker room area, Paige, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville targeted Sasha Banks in a brutal three-on-one assault in the ring after the four-time Raw Women’s Champion refused to join their ranks.

Monday night on Raw, The Boss has an opportunity for retribution when she faces Paige, the nefarious mastermind behind Absolution, in singles action. The news broke earlier today via WWE’s official Twitter account. With the rest of Absolution undoubtedly lurking at ringside, can Sasha humble the raven-haired renegade? Find out Monday on Raw, beginning at 8/7 C on USA Network!

How will Kane and Braun Strowman settle the score?

Much like a monster in a horror flick, Braun Strowman just won’t stay down. One week after the just-as-formidable Kane injured The Monster Among Men’s throat with the aid of a steel chair and the ring steps, Strowman returned the favor with a windpipe-crushing assault on The Big Red Machine.

Clearly, these behemoths have unfinished business. Will they collide once again when the red brand heads to Los Angeles?
