Early WWE RAW Preview – World Title Tournament Begins & More

UPDATE: WWE.com has posted their Five Point Preview for tonight’s RAW, confirming that the world title tournament starts on Raw tonight…

The Wyatt Family has been gathering strength in recent months, but after evidently ensnaring the very souls of The Undertaker and Kane, Bray Wyatt is more powerful than anyone could ever imagine. What do The Eater of Worlds’ new abilities — siphoned from The Brothers of Destruction — mean for Raw in Manchester, U.K.? Plus, following Seth Rollins’ injury, a tournament begins tonight to crown a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion at Survivor Series.

They also added the following preview information on the tournament…

Two nights after the anticipated WWE World Heavyweight Championship clash between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins was made official for Survivor Series, The Architect tore his right ACL, MCL and medial meniscus and, as first reported by ESPN, Rollins will be out of action for six to nine months.

As a result, a tournament will begin tonight, and continue on SmackDown, to crown a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion at Survivor Series. Who will compete for the illustrious prize? Will Roman Reigns, who earned the right to challenge Rollins two weeks ago on Raw, once again claw his way to the title that has eluded him since WrestleMania? Expect more news on Survivor Series’ tournament to determine a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion on Raw.

ORIGINAL: WWE RAW will take place today in Manchester, England. Due to the time difference, it will air on tape delay in the US. The main theme of tonight’s show will be addressing the injury to Seth Rollins and also setting up the tournament to crown a new champion. Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Kane vs. The Wyatt Family is tonight’s dark match.

We’ll have live **SPOILERS** this afternoon here on the website. The same goes for SmackDown tomorrow.
