    A storm is coming to Raw, and its name is Brock Lesnar.

    The last time we saw The Beast Incarnate on WWE television, he sparked a melee with The Undertaker that was so intense, it required the intervention of nearly the entire WWE locker room and local law enforcement, who detained The Anomaly and escorted him from the arena. Now, two weeks later, Lesnar is confirmed to be at Raw. What do The Beast and his vocal advocate, Paul Heyman, have planned for Monday night’s hottest show?

    What chaos will Brock Lesnar unleash?
    Two weeks after trading punches with The Undertaker in one of the wildest fistfights the WWE Universe has ever witnessed, Brock will be live on Raw — an inevitability that no doubt has The Authority bracing for impact.

    Will Lesnar and his advocate, Paul Heyman, address the melee that had Lesnar removed from Raw in restraints? Might The Anomaly send a bold message to his SummerSlam opponent just 20 days before their WrestleMania 30 rematch? Whatever Lesnar has planned, The Deadman will surely be watching.

    Has Kevin Owens made a mistake by provoking Cesaro?
    In an exclusive interview with Michael Cole on WWE.com, Kevin Owens claimed that the reason he’s been targeting Cesaro in recent weeks is simple: He doesn’t want The Swiss Superman to take his “spotlight.” However, on Thursday’s SmackDown, Cesaro actually pinned K.O. in the night’s tag team main event, proving that Owens’ underhanded sneak attacks haven’t fazed the former United States Champion.

    Owens will likely seek to retaliate against Cesaro on Raw, but will the end result mirror what we saw as SmackDown went off the air — with The King of Swing triumphant?

    Has Seth Rollins broken more than Cena's nose?
    Showing undeniable tenacity in his United States Championship defense against Seth Rollins on Raw, The Champ fought through a broken nose to defeat The Architect via submission — a victory that was testament to Cena’s “Never Give Up” mantra.

    However, in the wake of Cena’s severe nasal fracture, The Champ’s future remains unclear. When will we see Cena in a WWE ring again? Despite losing that incredible match, did Rollins actually defeat Cena in the long-term, putting the fighting champion on the shelf? If so, how might that inability to compete affect Cena psychologically? Stay tuned as more details on the Cenation leader’s condition emerge.

    Which tandem will challenge The Prime Time Players?
    On SmackDown, The Lucha Dragons and Los Matadores defeated The New Day and The Ascension, surely bringing both of the masked teams closer to The Prime Time Players’ WWE Tag Team Championships. Yet who is more deserving of an opportunity for Titus O’Neil & Darren Young’s titles? That was the question after SmackDown’s Eight-Man Tag Team Match, when Kalisto & Sin Cara argued with Diego & Fernando backstage during an interview with WWE.com. Hopefully, we’ll get a clearer sense of the true pecking order in WWE’s tag team division on Raw.

    Can Neville vanquish Stardust's supervillainy?
    In a conflict ripped straight out of a comic book, Neville and Stardust seem to be rocketing toward an explosive collision, as WWE’s most notorious face-painted fiend continues his mind games with The Man That Gravity Forgot, goading the caped wonder into becoming his “hero” and urging the WWE Universe to “embrace the strange.” Stardust’s dastardly antics show no sign of stopping, and it seems that Neville is the only one who can silence The Prince of Dark Matter once and for all. Will an arrow, red or otherwise, soon pierce the icy heart of this interdimensional nightmare? Tune in Monday night at 8/7 C on USA Network — same Raw time, same Raw channel.

    Plus, don’t miss Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET, exclusively on the award-winning WWE Network.​

    If Cena can't compete.. then he has to drop the title, have another tournament

    If Brian had to drop his, it's only fair

    Royal Rumble most likely

    but if you can't compete within 30 days, the belt should be dropped.. 4 weeks = 30 days

    'Award winning WWE network'

    I know they BS a lot and hype themselves up, but I've heard it called the 'award winning' WWE network a few times now, what the f--- did it actually win if anything?

    I hate how they placed Owens into a mid-card feud with Cesaro and Cena went on to the main event. That just destroys any momentum KO had. Do they not see this? He failed, straight into his Raw career.

    Dude I f---ing knew this would happen. This is why I hate when people get excited over a guy entering a Cena feud. Why do you think The Shield refused to take the loss to Cena back in 2013? Cause once you do you become like anybody else and they stop giving a s--- about you once ur fed to him.

    Owens gets dead reactions every time I see him now. Nobody really gives a s--- about this guy. He's the random neckbeard who got a fluke win and powerbombed MGK and is already looking like he'll amount to nothing. They got a lot of work to do with him, man...

    Bray Wyatt had all the momentum in the world, feuded with Cena, and the entire time 'rational' fans were saying "no guys, he's feuding with Cena! this is gonna elevate him", what happened? Bray hasn't meant anything since Cena buried him.
    Rusev? Undefeated? Champion? Nahhh, feud with Cena get beat, lose your title, get thrown in the trash then separated from your manager and feud with Ziggles.

    It's pathetic tbh.

    "Elevate him" .. ha! Yeah, elevate him and bring him back down with the AA and literally buried with a pile of boxes. Bray Wyatt's done, I can't even take the guy seriously when he talks anymore. And that Rusev segment from last week was just bad. It's beginning to feel less and less like anything matters on the show anymore. I'm def looking forward to Taker/Lesnar, but other than that everything seems designed around building Cena and you can't really take a guy getting a push seriously anymore because they're bound to be fed to somebody somewhere down the line.

    I ain't a Cena hater but if you can't get a guy universally over and cant get the ratings and relevance back into your product after putting as much effort as they have into him over the last ten years, then what the f---?

    I'm excited for the main event at Part-TimerSlam, brother! Thanks Cena for burying all the young talent!
