WWE RAW: 5 Things you need to know before the season premiere - a new champion, dream match set-up for Survivor Series?
With just one week to go for the Hell in a Cell PPV, we will witness Monday Night RAW's season premiere tonight. Coming to us live from the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, WWE has announced some major appearances and segments for this week's edition of RAW.
So far, we have only three matches confirmed for the show this Sunday, and one might expect to see at least a couple more announced tonight. With this being the beginning of the "Premiere Week" on WWE television, the expectations are high for the largest wrestling promotion in the world.
Without further adieu, let's take a look at the five things you need to know before tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW. The comment section is all yours to raise your opinions and views about WWE programming.
#5 What does the Beast Incarnate have in store for us?
As announced last week on Monday Night RAW, former Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will be making a special appearance on tonight's show. A couple weeks ago, 'The Beast Incarnate' shocked the world by showing up on SmackDown to challenge WWE Champion Kofi Kingston.
The WWE Championship match between Kofi and Lesnar is set to take place this Friday, October 4th, during the inaugural episode of Friday Night SmackDown on FOX. With just a few days remaining until his WWE Championship opportunity, what does 'The Beast' have in mind when he appears on tonight's Monday Night RAW?
One simple theory discussed heavily on the internet last week is that The Fiend may attack Lesnar in the same way he has been taking out multiple Superstars over the last few months. While this could be a perfect set up for The Fiend vs Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series (provided, Lesnar wins the WWE Championship this Friday), one has to wonder whether WWE would risk portraying Lesnar as vulnerable before his clash with Kofi.
Another Superstar who might come head to head with Lesnar is Bobby Lashley. Considered by many as a dream match ever since Lashley returned to the company last year, a confrontation between 'The Beast' and 'The Almighty' could turn out to be quite the surprise.
