Follow along with our live WWE Raw review. Tonight, the Raw Tag Team Championships are on the line.

Previously on WWE Raw, Elias found a couple of jaw harp players to back him up. Roman Reigns prevailed in his first Intercontinental Title defense, but got ambushed by Samoa Joe. And Finn Balor tried to help out Jason Jordan against Kane, but couldn’t OVERcome the Big Red monster. Good thing Braun Strowman came back!

This week, there’s already been three matches announced Raw. First, the match with the biggest stakes is a Tag Team Championship match. Once again, Cesaro and Sheamus will put the titles on the line against longtime nemeses Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. Every time these two teams square off, it’s a terrific match. With any luck, that streak will continue tonight. Is another title run in the cards for The Shield? Or will The Bar retain?

Next up is a fatal four way match featuring the Cruiserweight division. Last week, Rich Swann won the first such match to put himself in position for a shot at Enzo Amore and the Cruiserweight Championship. Tonight, Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali, Tony Nese, and Drew Gulak face off for the same shot. Who will go up against Swann next week?

Finally, Paige is set to return to action this week against Sasha Banks. For the past two weeks, Paige has led Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville in brutal attacks on the Raw Women’s division. They call themselves Absolution, and Sasha found herself in a tough spot when the trio tried to recruit her last week. Tonight, Sasha gets a chance at retribution.

Let’s not forget the drama between Kane and Braun Strowman heading into tonight. Or the tenuous relationship between GM Kurt Angle and Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. And what is going on with Matt Hardy? Time will tell when Raw gets under way this week.
