RAW IS LIV... I mean LIVE from Oklahoma City this evening. It's the first RAW of the decade, and the first time RAW will air live in the UK on BT Sport, following 27 years on Sky Sports.
Although there's two title matches announced, there's only one place to start. Bobby Lashley and Lana were set to get married in the ring last week, and despite objections by two former spouses (turns out Lana was married to someone else before Rusev), it was the next objection that sent shockwaves. Liv Morgan emerged and revealed that she was in a prior relationship with Lana, a revelation that led to Rusev bursting out through the giant cake to attack Lashley. Will we find out any more about the Lana/Liv relationship, and will we get the obvious tag team match?
There's two titles on the line this week - first of all, Rey Mysterio lost the United States Title to Andrade at Madison Square Garden over the holidays, and tonight he gets his rematch. Andrade is fresh off his engagement to Charlotte Flair, will Rey catch him at his most unaware?
The other title match is a Triple Threat match for the RAW Tag Team Titles, as the Viking Raiders defend against the Street Profits and "the Best Tag Team in the World", Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows of the OC. Erik and Ivar have dominated all before them, but they don't have to be pinned to lose the titles here. Will they see off two dangerous teams to hang on to their titles?
The Man's contract is coming due... will Tony Khan pony up the millions to tempt Becky Lynch over to AEW? Likely not, but before terms are discussed, Lynch has got her match with Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship at the Royal Rumble to get revenge for last year's match at the Rumble where Asuka gave Lynch her last significant defeat to hang onto the SmackDown Title. What's next in their saga this week?
All this and more tonight from 8/7c on USA in the States, Sportsnet 360 in Canada and as mentioned, BT Sport in the UK and Ireland...
Oh... and Brock Lesnar's decided to show up with the WWE Championship this week.
