What will fans see on WWE RAW tonight?

Following an assault on Jey Uso, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods last week, Bron Breakker will face Kofi Kingston one-on-one, as he has his sights set on a rematch with current Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso.

Meanwhile, former tag team partners The Miz and R-Truth will collide after the former had a heel turn a couple of weeks ago. In between, RAW GM Adam Pearce could make Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed official for Crown Jewel, as The Visionary has already challenged his opponent to a match.

Tonight's WWE RAW will also feature a face-off between the top two names in the business, as the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes will confront the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther ahead of their Crown Jewel Championship Match on November 2. In addition to that, the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill will put their titles on the line against Damage CTRL.

Last but not least, Rhea Ripley will be part of the show and fans can expect her to call out and target Raquel Rodriguez, who cost her the Women's World Championship at Bad Blood. Rodriguez sided with Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio, with Rhea attacking all of them last Friday on SmackDown.
