More internal details for tonight’s go-home edition of WWE RAW ahead of Saturday Night’s Main Event have surfaced.
According to Rope Break, Seth Rollins vs. Austin Theory is currently listed as the closing match for tonight’s episode. The reported placement suggests WWE is positioning the bout as one of the biggest matches of the night heading into this weekend’s special event.
Rope Break also reported that Jacob Fatu is currently slated to open the show. That development comes after Fatu attacked Roman Reigns last week and drove the World Heavyweight Champion through the announcer’s table in one of the biggest moments of the night.
Reigns is already advertised to address the attack during tonight’s RAW, so having Fatu kick off the broadcast could immediately escalate tensions between the two before Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Tonight’s show also features Brie Bella and Paige defending the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships against Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez of Judgment Day.
Oba Femi’s open challenge is also scheduled for the show alongside a six-man tornado tag team match involving El Grande Americano and Los Americanos against the “Original” Grande Americano and Los Americanos Hermanos.
Here’s the updated lineup for tonight’s WWE RAW:
- Jacob Fatu currently slated to open the show
- Roman Reigns addresses Jacob Fatu’s attack
- WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: Brie Bella & Paige (c) vs. Roxanne Perez & Raquel Rodriguez
- Oba Femi Open Challenge
- Six-Man Tornado Tag Team Match: El Grande Americano and Los Americanos vs. “Original” Grande Americano and Los Americanos Hermanos
- Seth Rollins vs. Austin Theory currently listed as the closing match
With RAW serving as the final stop before Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE appears focused on loading the show with major storyline progression and several key matches before the weekend event. Ringside News will be providing live play-by-play coverage of this week’s show over in our WWE Monday Night RAW coverage hub.
