Just a few days away from WWE Super ShowDown, WWE will deliver its latest episode of Monday Night RAW tonight live from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. Tonight's RAW has the potential to be one of the best ones of the year so far, with many major segments set to take place on the show.

The biggest of them all is, of course, the announced cash-in of Mr. Money in the Bank 2019, Brock Lesnar on the Universal Champion, Seth Rollins tonight. We'll soon find out what could the Beast possibly have in store for us.

Other than the Beast in the Bank, a lot other major segments and matches have been announced for the show. There's a lot that could happen on RAW tonight that could have major implications on WWE's future.

But first, here are the 5 things you need to know before tonight's edition of the longest running weekly show in history, Monday Night RAW.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE


#5 A new United States Champion might be crowned tonight

After Rey Mysterio's shocking yet controversial victory at Money in the Bank to become the new United States Champion, it has been revealed that the Master of the 619 has suffered an injury at the show, due to which he will vacate the title.

One of the biggest questions heading into RAW this week is who will get the opportunity to become the next US Champ? Will it be Samoa Joe, who has been demanding his title back ever since his loss at MITB? WWE has also teased Cesaro and Ricochet being involved in the US Title scene on Twitter. Who do you want to see as the new US Champion?


#4 R-Truth will continue his antics with the 24/7 Title

R-Truth might be the only reason why the 24/7 Championship has become entertaining. The guy has amazing comic timing and WWE did make the right call by putting the 24/7 title on him.

Last week we saw Elias take the title from him for a few hours on SmackDown before Truth got it back later that night. Earlier today, it was revealed on WWE's YouTube channel that Jinder Mahal pinned Truth on a golf course to win the title, only for Truth to roll him up again and become a 3-time 24/7 Champion.

We can expect Truth to continue his funny skits with the title on RAW. Who do you think could win the title tonight?

#3 What's next for the RAW Women's Champion?

Who will challenge Becky next?

The RAW Women's Championship has seen some slow progress in the last few weeks, mainly because of the focus being on WWE Super ShowDown at Saudi Arabia, which will not have any women's match on the card due to regional factors.

Playing a huge part in reducing The Man to Becky One Belt, Lacey Evans looks like the top contender to challenge Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's title again, but her recent interactions with Charlotte on SmackDown might keep her away from the title on RAW.

In that case, someone like Natalya or Naomi can step up to become Becky's next challenger.


#2 The Undertaker will return with a chilling warning

One of the biggest segments announced for tonight's RAW is the return of the Prince of Darkness, The Undertaker. The Dead Man is scheduled to face Goldberg in a few days at WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia in what would be the first one-on-one clash of the two legends.

We can expect a chilling warning from The Undertaker for his opponent this Friday. But can The Dead Man have any special surprise in store for us? He could confront someone like Lesnar or Elias, who he tombstoned on the RAW after WrestleMania 35.

#1 The Beast has his eyes set on the Universal Championship

The biggest story heading into this week's RAW is the cash-in of The Beast, Brock Lesnar. The Money in the Bank scene has been confusing ever since Brock won it at MITB. A few days ago, we saw Stephanie McMahon announce on WWE's social media channel that the Beast will be punished on this week's RAW for disrespecting the MITB contract.

Less than 24 hours after that, Paul Heyman announced that his client will be cashing in his contract on the Universal Champion, Seth Rollins this week on RAW. Lesnar teasing a cash-in might be the thread throughout tonight's show, but one thing is for sure, the situation would be chaotic.

While it has specifically been announced that The Beast will cash-in on Seth, there is a possibility that WWE might swerve us all with Brock cashing on Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship instead.

Let's just hope, whatever happens, Brock does not end up with any of the World titles.

What would be your reaction if Brock ends up cashing in successfully tonight?
