Let’s start with the opening segment. Randy Orton will kick off RAW tonight to address his win against Edge. WWE is also teasing that both Edge and Orton suffered injuries at Backlash. Here is what WWE wrote about the segment on their website:
Randy Orton to open Raw after winning The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever
The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever is in the books, and Randy Orton emerged victorious in a physically and emotionally draining battle against his former friend Edge. Now, The Viper will open Monday Night Raw just one night after proving his in-ring supremacy against The Rated-R Superstar.
After last night’s grueling battle, rumors have been swirling that BOTH Superstars sustained injuries in the match.
What condition will both Superstars be in after such a brutal marathon of a match? Will Orton look to close the book on his rivalry with Edge after such a demanding battle? Is there another Superstar that will find himself in The Viper’s path?
Randy Orton will reveal all of his thoughts to kick off Raw tonight at 8/7 C on the USA Network.
WWE has also confirmed that Asuka and Nia Jax will be facing off on the episode tonight. Here is what WWE wrote about the match on their website:
Asuka and Nia Jax to compete in championship rematch after double count-out
Asuka and Nia Jax have plenty of unfinished business after their Raw Women’s Championship Match ended in a double count-out at WWE Backlash. The Empress of Tomorrow retained her title but was clearly frustrated by the conclusion and landed one last attack on her rival before exiting up the ramp.
The bad blood has boiled for weeks, as the unpredictable Asuka has been repeatedly targeted by the towering Jax ever since Becky Lynch crowned her champion.
Will Asuka finally silence her most outspoken doubter, or will the most imposing female Superstar in WWE history back up the smack talk?
Catch Raw tonight at 8/7 C on the USA Network to see who walks out with the gold.
