In just a few hours, the WWE will host the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, as the roster of team RAW face the fallout of an incredible Royal Rumble pay per view.

Last night's event was a huge show, with RAW's Seth Rollins emerging victorious in the Men's Royal Rumble, last eliminating Braun Strowman to win.

But with the iconic pay per view now in the rear-view mirror, the road to WrestleMania 35 continues tonight, as the company prepares for the Elimination Chamber pay per view, one of the most barbaric pay per views in WWE history.

But before that, the Raw roster will need to survive tonight.

Here are five things you need to know before the January 28th, 2019 edition of WWE Monday Night RAW.

#5 Beast triumphant, Balor believed

When Finn Balor was announced as the opponent of Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble, very few people gave the Irishman a chance.

But Balor certainly made a believer out of many people last night. Though he did not capture the Universal Championship, he certainly took it to the Beast Incarnate.

Toppling Lesnar with three dives to the outside and a devastating Coup de Grace, Lesnar was only able to retain by the skin of his teeth, thanks to the Kimura Lock.

With Balor coming up short, the question remains what will the former NXT Champion do next, as he continues to regain the title he held for one day in 2016.

And with his schedule, Lesnar seemingly has a guaranteed path to WrestleMania where he will hope to continue to be WWE's most dominant champion.

He may already have his opponent confirmed, but for now, only time will tell.
