Welcome to our coverage of tonight’s Monday Night Raw!

On tonight’s show, Roman Reigns is out for revenge after the return of The Miz and their subsequent attack on him. Reigns was beaten-down badly last week and The Miz made it clear that he is back and wants his Intercontinental Championship. Reigns will no doubt have something to say about this on tonight’s show.

Interestingly, we have three injured Superstars but we’re unsure of just how injured they are and what will happen with them. Paige received an injury at a house-show and now is seemingly banned from ever competing again in a WWE ring. This is incredibly crappy news for Paige but hopefully we get some sort of news tonight, it’s not as though WWE can keep on her on TV as Absolution’s leader and not explain why she isn’t wrestling. Another injured star is Jason Jordan, another partner of Seth Rollins. First Ambrose and now Jordan, it seems the latter may be out of action for a little while and thus he and Rollins might have to forfeit the Tag Titles. The Shield can’t seem to catch a break. And finally, Samoa Joe reportedly received an injury on last week’s show but we haven’t received word on how serious the injury is. Joe looks to be heading to the Royal Rumble and a potential showdown with John Cena, so let’s hope that’s not in jeopardy.

In other, less depressing news, we should get the fallout from Braun Strowman’s latest monstrous attack on Lesnar and Kane. Strowman pulled a huge lighting rig down on top of Kane and Lesnar, which surely writes the Champion off of TV, perhaps even until the Rumble. Will Kurt Angle reprimand the Monster Among Men or will he continue to wreak havoc without any punishment? Hopefully the latter.

All that and lots more on tonight’s Raw. Remember to download the Ringside News app and join in the conversation. Enjoy the show!

Two names considered as Dean Ambrose replacements as Seth Rollins partner in the tag team slot were Finn Balor and Jason Jordan. Ultimately the company decided to go with Jordan, which mean stalling or perhaps even halting his heel turn all together. Jordan may be pushed to becoming a top babyface now.

With WWE needing to push Jordan as a top guy, there is really no other choice but to put the tag team titles on them from Cesaro & Sheamus as a way to establish Jordan’s credibility after weeks of pushing him.

Meanwhile, Balor seems to have nothing going on with his character.

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane, Big Vito, and Kenny & Chris Bolin. On today’s show they’re going to share their thoughts on this past week’s episode of RAW & Smackdown Live.

Russo says that he was very dissapointed that WWE’s creative team ignored the fact that someone had to let The New Day into the building during last week’s episode of RAW. On this week’s show, he would have written the entire episode around the fact that there’s a mole on the inside who let those guys into the building the prior week. He thinks that would have been very captivating television, but WWE simply ignored it.

Russo saw no point of the in-ring promo segment between Miz, Sheamus and Cesaro on RAW. Lane agrees, saying that this was a filler segment. Bolin points out that he basically falls asleep anytime Sheamus speaks so he wasn’t captivated by this promo.

Bolin says that Jason Jordan has ‘Rocky Maivia’ heat right now, and the Atlanta fans were even thanking Bray Wyatt for hurting Jordan’s leg on RAW this week. It’s one thing for a Northeast crowd to act that way, but when a Southern crowd begins to turn on a babyface that heavily, you’re in real trouble.

Block 1:

Taz opens today’s show by questioning several of WWE’s booking decisions from last night’s episode of Monday Night RAW. Jason Jordan was removed from the 5 0n 5 traditional Survivor Series match in favour of the returning Triple H, but Taz would have preferred to see Jordan remain in that match and turn heel at Survivor Series.

He also points out that Bray Wyatt returned to RAW last night to face Jason Jordan, and Taz feels Wyatt would have been a suitable replacement for Jordan if WWE was determined to pull Jordan from this match. Another suitable replacement would have been Elias in his opinion. Ultimately, Triple H is a huge star who definitely makes the Survivor Series match feel bigger.

Taz doesn’t understand why WWE continues to stifle Kurt Angle on their programming. Angle is a legitimate bad ass who was made to look like a weakling from the start of last night’s show to the finish, and this has happened several weeks in a row now. Taz points out that maybe WWE is heading towards Angle vs. Triple H at WrestleMania but he isn’t a fan of that idea because both of those men are in the twilight of their careers.
