The road to WrestleMania 31 is officially underway as the WWE presents the Royal Rumble fallout edition of Monday Night RAW live from the XL Center in Hartford, Conn. as the countdown to Fast Lane begins.
Roman Reigns Responds To His Critics, Facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31
Update: Due to the weather in the Northeast, WWE Monday Night RAW will not emanate from Connecticut and crews are packing up their things. It is believed some sort of broadcast will take place, but it's unknown how the company will handle it.
With the 28th annual Royal Rumble emanating from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Sunday night, this should be a huge edition of the WWE's flagship show.
The main focus tonight will be on Roman Reigns as he came out at No. 19 and went on to win the 30-man over-the-top-rope Royal Rumble Match after last eliminating Rusev.
5 Possible Matches For WWE Fast Lane 2015
The Big Show and Kane tried to beat down Reigns after the match, but his cousin Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson made the save.
The WWE hinted that another legend could battle The Authority tonight as The Rock and Sting have both gotten involved with them in the last couple of weeks and could also appear.
Reigns will now battle Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31 on March 29 live from Levi's Stadium in California. "The Beast" is expected to be on-hand to respond to Reigns being his next challenger.
Lesnar defeated John Cena and Seth Rollins in a Triple Threat Match at the Royal Rumble in what was an early Match of the Year candidate. The WWE is teasing that there are big things ahead for "Mr. Money in the Bank" starting with tonight's RAW.
As for Cena, he had an altercation with the United States Champion Rusev on Sunday night and he is set to address the mighty Russian tonight as a WrestleMania 31 clash between the two is rumored.
Another Superstar who had a big night was Bray Wyatt as he dominated the Rumble Match before ultimately falling short and he should have a lot to say tonight on RAW.
Daniel Bryan should also have a big night ahead of him as the WWE Universe was solely behind him when he came out as No. 10 in the Rumble Match, but he was the 11th guy eliminated from the match.
His elimination spawned a negative reaction from the WWE Universe and will likely be addressed tonight.
In the tag division, The Usos were able to retain their Tag Team Championships on Sunday while The Ascension picked up a big win over the New Age Outlaws. These teams could be on a collision course.
The Miz and Damien Sandow lost to The Usos and have had some more dissention, which may very well come to ahead on RAW.
Over in the Divas division, The Bella Twins were able to thwart off Paige and Natalya and we'll see what is next for them.
Randy Orton and Sheamus have also been rumored to return sometime soon and could very well show up in Hartford tonight.
With Fast Lane emanating from the FedEx Forum in Memphis on Feb. 22, bouts may be announced for the WWE's new February pay-per-view tonight.
The long, winding road to WrestleMania 31 continues when RAW emanates live tonight from the XL Center in Connecticut.
