5 things you need to know before tonight's WWE Monday Night RAW (August 19th, 2019)

#4 The Monster Among Men covets the Star-Spangled Strap

The Phenomenal One will have a tough night when he defends his US Title against Braun Strowman.

Last week, Braun Strowman certainly made an impact on the final moments of Monday Night RAW. After missing the Biggest Party of the Summer, SummerSlam, the rested Monster Among Men helped even the odds in the climax of the show, when Seth Rollins and Ricochet found themselves the victims of a three on two beatdown by the OC.

In a WWE.com interview following the physical altercation with The Monster Among Men, AJ Styles challenged Strowman to a match next week, where the United States Title will be on the line. Title opportunities in WWE don't come around every day, so it's no surprise that the Greatest Royal Rumble winner accepted the challenge on Twitter.

Since joining the main roster in 2015, Strowman is yet to hold singles gold (though did briefly hold the Greatest Royal Rumble celebratory title), as his only real reign as champion on the main roster is his one-day Tag Title reign with Nicholas.

Will Strowman's luck change tonight, as he aims to capture the US Title? Tune in to RAW to find out.
