Last week's Monday Night Raw was all about adding the finishing touches to the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view with Reigns and Strowman coming to to blows. But this week's episode will undoubtedly be dealing with the fallout from Hell in a Cell 2018 and especially the chaotic end to the Universal Title Match

Brock Lesnar made his dramatic return to the WWE much sooner than anyone anticipated to smash his way into the Hell in a Cell structure and assault both Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns, two men who were involved when he lost the Universal Title at SummerSlam.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

The 'Dogs of War' Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre and 'The Shield' members Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose were also involved in the main event, and had a match earlier in the night that saw Ziggler and McIntyre retain the Raw Tag Team Titles.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Finally, Ronda Rousey has proven that Alexa Bliss cannot derail her momentum when she successfully defended her Universal Title against the 'Goddess' in her first ever title defense with the WWE

With all of this going down at Hell in a Cell 2018 it's clear that Monday Night Raw will have a lot going on! What's going to happen?


#4. The Deadman returns to confront Triple H

It was advertised during last weeks show but may have gotten lost in the furor surrounding that Hell in a Cell main event finish and Brock Lesnar's return, but it's worth not forgetting that the Undertaker is going to grace Monday Night Raw with his presence.

The 'Phenom' is hurtling towards a last-ever collision with Triple H during the Super Show-Down show and is going to be on the show to address Triple H's comments about the match from last week's Raw.

The WWE have teased some physicality on this one, so there's a chance we'll see some blows exchanged between the two WWE legends!

#3. The Brock Lesnar return fallout

Lesnar returned at Hell in a Cell, how will that affect Monday Night Raw?

Remember when Kurt Angle told Paul Heyman that Lesnar couldn't have his Universal Title rematch at Hell in a Cell? Well, now it seems that decision has backfired as Lesnar has returned and caused chaos in the Universal Title picture.

It now seems likely that Lesnar will be on Raw demanding his rematch once and for all and with Kurt Angle on 'indefinite holiday' it'll be Acting General Manager Baron Corbin with the power to give Lesnar what he wants.

It will also be interesting to see how Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns deal with the latest sizeable bump in both of their WWE roads.

#3. What's next for Ronda Rousey?

With Ronda Rousey successful in her first ever WWE Raw Women's Title defence against Alexa Bliss at Hell in a Cell 2018, it frees up Bliss to begin her feud with Trish Stratus for Evolution. But where does Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey go from here?

The WWE have heavily teased that Bliss has found a chink in Rousey's armor with her injuring of the ribs, and that there might be a new challenger emerging to become Rousey's next challenge.

#1. The Shield and the Dogs of War aren't finished yet

The rivalry between these two teams is set to continue

Hell in a Cell 2018 saw the two teams of the Shield, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose and 'The Dogs of War' Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre take their heated rivalry to new heights. Literally, as all four men would scale the top of the Hell in a Cell and two of them would eventually fall off and through the announce tables.

It seems that after that monumental moment that things won't just be over between the warring factions, but there's also the interesting possibility that someone new will step up to throw their name in the hat for the Raw Tag Team Titles!
