The buildup for Battleground continues and two huge Superstars return to the action when the WWE presents Monday Night RAW live this week from the Allstate Arena in Chicago.
Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton will both make their respective comebacks to the squared circle. While we don't know what's next for The Viper, The Beast will continue to hype his upcoming WWE World Heavyweight Championship contest against Seth Rollins.
The Architect will also look to gain some momentum as he heads into his biggest title defense yet.
As for Orton, there were rumors that he may face Sheamus at Battleground on July 19 from the Scottrade Center in his hometown of St. Louis, so the WWE may plant the seeds for that encounter.
Superstars advertised for the show include Rollins, Lesnar, United States Champion John Cena, Roman Reigns, Orton, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, Mr. Money in the Bank Sheamus, Big Show, Bray Wyatt and former NXT Champion Kevin Owens.
Owens and Cena are two Superstars to keep an eye on as they prepare for their third clash at Battleground. It'll be particularly interesting to see how Owens responds to shockingly dropping the NXT Championship to Finn Balor in Japan.
Elsewhere, the WWE is teasing that there may be some retribution given out to Ambrose and Reigns for defying The Authority. Reigns is set to battle Wyatt on July 19, so the mind games will likely continue.
Things are also heating up between Intercontinental Champion Ryback and his two upcoming opponents, The Miz and The Big Show.
Over in the tag team division, The Prime Time Players will look to remain strong heading into their defense against The New Day, which could use some momentum looking ahead into their quest to get the gold back.
As for the Divas, Nikki Bella enters day 225 days atop the division as champion, but Paige will certainly be gunning for her.
The WWE presents Monday Night RAW live tonight from Chicago in what should be a big evening of buildup toward Battleground.
