The latest ‘New Era’ of WWE begins tonight, as this will be the first episode of Monday Night Raw under the regime of Paul Heyman as Executive Director.
In an effort to sell tickets for tonights’ show from Dallas, Texas, WWE has been teasing that fans will get a chance to see what Paul Heyman has in store for the show. However, there has been no word from WWE how Heyman will be positioned on television in his new capacity. It remains to be seen if Heyman (and SmackDown Executive Director Eric Bischoff) will play authority figures on their respective brands.
WWE is advertising the following items for tonight’s broadcast:
- Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
- New Day members Big E and Xavier Woods face and the Viking Raiders
- Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans look to exploit Seth Rollins’ ‘kryptonite’ (Becky Lynch).
- Fallout from Roman Reigns and The Undertaking joining forces.
- With a non-title victory over Unites States Champion Ricochet, AJ Styles could be in line for a title shot soon.
- How will Samoa Joe follow up on his vicious assault on WWE Champion Kofi Kingston last week? The two will battle at Extreme Rules.
