The WWE's flagship show is set to usher in a new era as Stephanie McMahon and her brother Shane McMahon own a 50-50 stake in "Monday Night RAW" starting this week at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
Aside from the McMahon family drama, the key storyline going into the WWE's flagship show is between WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and AJ Styles. The leader of the Roman Empire knocked off "The Phenomenal One" in the main event of Payback this past Sunday, while a rematch was announced for Extreme Rules on May 22.
Other factors in the rivalry include newcomers Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, who have been there to aid Reigns, and The Usos, who have supported their cousin in Reigns.
In the tag division, Enzo Amore's concussion halted him and Big Cass' bout against The Vaudevillians on Sunday, so The New Day is still looking for new No. 1 contenders.
The midcard is also heating up as Intercontinental Champion The Miz, Cesaro, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have all gotten involved in each other's storylines, while Dean Ambrose scored a big win over Chris Jericho at Payback. Jericho teased that he wrapped up his run with the WWE, so he may not be on television going forward.
Over in the Women's division, given the controversial finish to Natalya's match with champion Charlotte, the two ladies appear to be on a collision course to a rematch.
With just three episodes of "RAW" to go until Extreme Rules on May 22 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., the card may shape up quicker than usual.
