Rey’s Return
After his son, Dominik showed up to attack to get even with Seth last week against his father’s wishes. Rey will be on Raw to confront the actions of Seth Rollins. Rey has been vowing to get payback on Seth for weeks since Seth injured his eye putting his career in jeopardy. It’s unclear what Rey has in mind for Seth but with Extreme rules around the corner, there’s a lot of fun options for WWE to explore. It’ll be interesting to see if Dominik makes an appearance tonight as well.
Nia attacks Referee
Last week saw an altercation between Nia Jax and referee John Cone. Nia had Asuka pinned with the champ’s foot under the rope John refused to make an illegal count. Jax clearly incensed by the referee’s commitment to following the rules pushed the referee to the ground. Asuka taking advantage would roll Nia up for the pinfall where the count was fast. An article on WWE.com lists that the conduct of Nia Jax is under review In an interview with WWE John Cone would defend his count saying it was a clean count. It’s possible that more details will be looked at tonight on RAW.

After US champion Apolo Crews turned down the offer of joining MVPs group, MVP went on to offer a spot to Shelton Benjamin. Shelton had come off a defeat to Crews beforehand but will Shelton join?

Asuka vs Charlotte
Asuka is again asked with coming up with an answer to Charlotte Flair. The two have met in more than one championship matches with each other and the result is always Charlotte walking away with the gold. Asuka has beaten Charlotte once in non-title action back in December of 2019 but the champ will need to pull something spectacular out of the bag to retain her title.
