Last week, the WWE Universe got a surprise reunion of The Shield. How will Braun Strowman respond to The Hounds of Justice this week on WWE Raw?

Previously on WWE Raw, CURT HAWKINS WON — the chance to continue his losing streak to Elias. Constable Corbin got promoted to the big chair so Kurt Angle can go on a commissioner-mandated vacation. Ronda Rousey continued her reign of terror, now as Women’s Champion. And, of course, The Shield is back in full force.

This week on Raw, there’s a level of anticipation and exhilaration not seen in a post-PPV episode in a long time. We don’t know exactly what’s up with The Shield — are they on the side of good, evil, or just whatever keeps the Universal Championship on Roman Reigns’s shoulder?

What we do know is Braun Strowman is one angry Monster Among Men right now. After being kept from cashing in the Money in the Bank contract on consecutive nights last week, Braun is sure to be in full on destrucity mode. He’s demanded a one on one confrontation with Reigns, but will Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose really stay away?

After snapping Stephanie McMahon’s arm last week, Ronda Rousey is probably going to be in trouble. Whether the commissioner shows up in the building this week or not, there’s a good bet the new Raw Women’s Champion is in for a rude awakening. With both Hell in a Cell and Evolution looming, Rousey needs someone to step up and challenge for the Raw Women’s Championship. Will Stephanie name a new challenger?

And Baron Corbin is temporarily giving up his role as “Constable” to fill in as general manager on Raw. We all know how much Corbin wants to please Stephanie, so he’s not likely to waste this temporary power. Just how will Corbin assert himself as the new boss?

Follow along with our live WWE Raw review tonight to find out everything that happens. The action gets underway at 8 p.m. ET on the USA Network.
