WWE Monday Night Raw will take place from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI this week. WWE will continue the build-up for their upcoming PPV Tables, Ladders & Chairs. A few matches have already been announced for the pay-per-view and more could be made official this week.
Last week, we saw a brawl between Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose in which Rollins ended up as the second best. Ambrose laid him out yet again. Also, Ronda Rousey came out all fired up and ready for a fight. She defeated Mickie James in a RAW Women's Championship match. So WWE will continue to book her strong leading up to TLC.

This is though, WWE needs to do a bit more than last week. They need to do something more exciting that will keep the fans watching for the entire three hours. We still don't know what the WWE has planned for guys like Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre & Bobby Lashley. So it'll be interesting to know what's going on with that.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
In this article, we will take a look at four blockbuster things that will happen on WWE Raw this week-
#4 Finn Balor to face Baron Corbin
Last week, WWE did an injury angle for Braun Strowman to write him off the TV. He has since undergone an elbow surgery and we don't know his status for TLC. WWE have announced that as Strowman's replacement, Finn Balor will take on Baron Corbin on Monday Night RAW.
If you don't already know, we saw Bray Wyatt make his return at WWE Starrcade event on Saturday. The interesting thing about that is that WWE did not put his return in the actual one-hour special program on the WWE Network. Many believe that Bray Wyatt could be the actual replacement for Strowman because he wrestled Corbin at Starrcade.
It looks like Finn Balor is just a pawn in setting up Bray Wyatt's WWE return. Because we have already seen a long feud between Balor & Corbin, it's unlikely that WWE will do it again.
#3 Bobby Roode & Chad Gable will get their title shot against AOP
WWE has confirmed that Bobby Roode & Chad Gable will receive a title match against The Authors Of Pain on RAW tomorrow night. Last week, Roode & Gable picked up a surprise win over AOP and hence they have been rewarded with this opportunity to become tag team champions.
This feud has been absolutely awful considering how WWE is using Drake Maverick as a part of it. The backstage segment from last week's show should have never happened. These are two great teams who are really good wrestlers as well. So I don't think that WWE needs to put these cringy segments in the show which only they think are funny.
If a feud needs to be done, there are many other ways to book it. But as far as the match is concerned on Raw, it's unlikely that AOP will lose the titles.
#2 'The Facebreaker VS The Baddest Women On The Planet'
Last week, we saw an irate Ronda Rousey say that her feud with Charlotte Flair isn't over yet. She said that she is going to find a way to reach to her and then she will finish what Charlotte started. She also defended her title against Mickie James and she beat her to retain the title. But for now, she needs to focus on Nia Jax and forget about Charlotte.
Nia Jax has been billed as 'The Facebreaker' ever since she botched a move which injured Becky Lynch. Some are angry about how WWE is rewarding her for a mistake. But we know, WWE will do whatever they feel is best for them. So we know that Jax is Rousey's next opponent and they will face off at TLC.
I don't believe that Ronda Rousey will lose the title to Nia Jax. She is going to stay champion at least until Wrestlemania. So the buildup to this match is the only thing that can get us excited for it because we already know the end result.
#1 Seth Rollins will bring back the Intercontinental Title Open Challenge
Seth Rollins tweeted earlier today that he will be bringing back the Intercontinental Title Open Challenge on Raw tomorrow night. As we already know, Rollins will defend his title against Dean Ambrose at TLC.
Rollins also wrestled Ambrose in a steel cage match at Starrcade and that was also omitted from the WWE Network special. So it was just for the live audience and for Rollins & Ambrose to practice a match.
There are many possibilities as to who might respond to Rollins' open challenge. But I don't think that WWE has any plans of doing the Ambrose match on TV before doing it on PPV. I think this match will only be a part of the feud going forward. Although I don't expect Ambrose to wrestle Rollins, he should be definitely involved in the match somehow.
We all know how these things work in WWE, so don't expect a surprise title change because it's not happening.
Leave a comment below and let us know what other things you think can happen on WWE Raw this week.
