Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, the WWE presents Monday Night RAW live from the Moda Center in Portland, Ore. in what is the final episode of the company's flagship program before Sunday's SummerSlam pay-per-view live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The show can be live streamed here.
Hulk Hogan will be on hand to celebrate his 61st birthday party and there are a lot of surprises expected on the show. Special guests that have been rumored to be there to celebrate are Ric Flair, Paul Orndorff, Jimmy Hart and Scott Hall and Kevin Nash -- likely in an nWo originals reunion.
Hogan tweeted about his excitement for tonight's show.
"It's beautiful today in Portland and can't wait for WWE RAW tonight, I'm so excited I feel like it's first my first day in the business HH," he said.
While it will be all fun and games for Hogan, the same can't be said for the competitors that are counting the days to the huge SummerSlam event this Sunday. John Cena and Brock Lesnar are both expected to appear on the show just six days before they go toe-to-toe in the "Fight of the Summer" in the main event for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
There are a lot of scores to be settled at SummerSlam, and the WWE will continue to build toward them tonight on RAW. There are a lot of feuds being portrayed on WWE television right now and Monday night will be one of the final times for the company to build toward the matches at SummerSlam.
The organization will likely further the issues between Randy Orton and Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose heading into their Last Man Standing Match and the struggle between Chris Jericho and Bray Wyatt following the news that Luke Harper and Erick Rowan will be banned from ringside for their encounter on Sunday.
Elsewhere, The Miz and Dolph Ziggler's feud over the Intercontinental Championship has heated up while AJ Lee and Paige will likely have some parting shots for each other before their clash over the Divas Championship on Sunday.
Another big match on Sunday that is sure to get plenty of build tonight is the battle between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella. There are rumors that Triple H could be added to the match as a special guest referee.
The battle of national pride will also rage on as Rusev and Jack Swagger prepare for their Flag Match Sunday night at the Staples Center.
There are a lot of scores to be settled and it should be a hot summer night in Portland as the WWE and its top superstars march toward SummerSlam Sunday night in L.A.
