The WWE is stacking the card as it goes against Monday Night Football for the first time this season, and the company has already announced several big bouts for the show.
Tonight's show will feature a SummerSlam rematch between Roman Reigns and Randy Orton, Chris Jericho vs. Bray Wyatt in a Steel Cage Match and Jerry Springer will appear to sort out the sibling rivalry between Nikki and Brie Bella.

Other advertised stars for the show include No. 1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship John Cena, Triple H, Kane, "Mr. Money in the Bank" Seth Rollins, United States Champion Sheamus, Cesaro and The Wyatt Family.
Springer promoted his appearance tonight and told the Miami Herald his thoughts on the matter.
"I hope I can bring some understanding or be a spark that can be lit and make the sisters come together," he said. "Who knows? The way I operate is I don't have any preconceived notions because until I hear them talking and answer some of my questions, I'm not going to have a suggestion. I can't go in with a canned answer because until they talk to me about it, I'm not going to have a response. I'm going to listen first and go as we go. I can imagine, knowing what 'Monday Night Raw' is, it will be a little bit over-the-top. That's fair to say, and it's not going to be because of me."
Cena is expected to continue to try to prove to everyone that he is ready for his WWE World Heavyweight Championship match with Brock Lesnar at Night of Champions while "The Beast" is not slated to be on-hand in Baltimore.
Rollins and Kane have been getting involved a lot with Reigns over the last few weeks, and it will be interesting to see how they and the rest of The Authority factor into the match between Reigns and Orton.
The WWE is teasing the possibility that The Wyatt Family could get involved in the Steel Cage Match between Wyatt and Jericho as the summer feud between the two continues on the season premiere of RAW.
There have been several matches announced for Night of Champions, so the feuds between United States Champion Sheamus and Cesaro, Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler and The Miz and Rusev and Mark Henry will all likely continue to progress tonight.
The Big Show is rumored to be the next person to take on Lesnar after Cena, so it will be interesting to see how strongly he is booked should he appear on the show tonight.
While the Bella's will have their issues sorted out by Jerry Springer, Nikki Bella is also slated to face Paige and AJ Lee at Night of Champions in a Triple Threat Match for the Divas Championship, so Lee and Paige will likely have a lot to say about that with just under two weeks to go before the show.
The WWE has hinted at a Tag Team Championships match between the champion Usos and challengers Stardust and Goldust, so it is possible that the title match will be made official tonight.
With just 13 days until Night of Champions, the season premiere of Monday Night RAW looks to be an action-packed show tonight live from the Baltimore Arena in Maryland.
