Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, the WWE presents Monday Night RAW live from the Bell Centre in Montreal as the company continues the build towards Battleground on July 20 live from the Tampa Bay Times Forum in Florida. The show can be live streamed here.
It should be a busy night of action in the squared circle as WWE Hall of Famer Bret "Hitman" Hart is slated to make an appearance in the same building where the Montreal Screwjob occurred back at the 1997 Survivor Series. Hart's role on the show is unclear as of right now but he promised he will appear on the actual telecast.
"I'm not sure what I'll be doing at the show but I know it's going to be on the TV show, it's going to be for Raw, not just for the house show," Hart told Slam! Wrestling. "I think it's going to be a kind of similar moment than the last time, it should be a great response and it's going to be great for me to walk out and to get the warmth from those great fans."
There have been two matches announced for tonight as WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena will be in action against "Mr. Money in the Bank" Seth Rollins in a non-title match and Chris Jericho will have his first televised match since last July when he takes on The Miz.
The Wyatt Family will likely get involved in the latter match after they interrupted Jericho's promo last week on RAW after he laid out The Miz.
Cena has a target on his back as Roman Reigns, Kane and Randy Orton are all vying for his title at Battleground, and all three will likely have a prominent role on the show. Rollins is certain to be looking over his shoulder as well since Dean Ambrose has been gunning for him and promised that Rollins won't get a chance to cash in his contract as long as he's there to stop it.
The WWE will also focus on the altercations between Jack Swagger and Rusev, WWE Divas Champion A.J. Lee and Paige and The Authority is likely to make an appearance as well.
The WWE has teased more participants for the battle royal for the vacant Intercontinental Championship at Battleground, and the current members of the field are also likely to have some sort of role on the WWEs flagship show.
Santino Marella revealed at a live event in Toronto over the weekend that he sustained a third neck injury and is retiring from active competition; though he teased he may have another role within the company. It'll be interesting to see if Marella makes an announcement on RAW.
WWE Monday Night RAW is coming off of a monumental episode last week and will likely continue carrying the momentum into tonight's show as a jam-packed summer of wrestling continues and Battleground rapidly approaches.
