RAW is live from San Antonio, and if recent reports are correct, it will be a very sad and memorable episode, as Paige might be announcing her untimely retirement tonight. Keep an eye on WWE's social media to see if there are any announcements to this regard.
Elsewhere in the women's division, the undefeated Asuka faces her toughest test since joining the main roster, as she goes one-on-one with Nia Jax. Although Asuka defeated Jax at NXT Takeover: The End in 2016, Jax has more main roster experience, and has grown as a performer. Tonight's match has come as a result of RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss playing both of them behind their backs, will she get involved tonight, and will Asuka suffer her first WWE defeat?
The Miz will get another crack at the Intercontinental Title next week at the RAW 25th Anniversary Show when he faces Roman Reigns, but Miz may well have angered The Big Dog by setting The Miztourage on him last week, giving him a Shield style Triple Powerbomb. How will Reigns respond a week ahead of the big showdown?
Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins are anything but a gelled tag team, which is worrying given they're the RAW Tag Team Champions. They defend the titles at the Royal Rumble against former champions The Bar, and Cesaro and Sheamus will want to take advantage of the rift between the veteran Rollins and the cocky upstart Jordan. Will the champs get it together tonight?
Braun Strowman caused more destruction last week, bringing down part of the RAW set onto his Royal Rumble opponents Kane and Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. A telling sign about the fate of the title is that Kane walked off after the incident, but Lesnar went to hospital on a stretcher. Is the champion vulnerable, and is The Monster Among Men on the fast track to his first title?
Cedric Alexander defeated Enzo Amore last week, but did not win the Cruiserweight Title, as Amore failed to get back in the ring, claiming an injury. Alexander doesn't believe him, as he faked an injury to win on 205 Live to prove a point to the champ. They meet again at the Royal Rumble - is this a case of The Certified G Who Cried Wolf?
All this, plus more WOKEN Matt Hardy madness, tonight from 8/7c on USA!
