WWE News: Early Look At Next Week’s First RAW Of 2019

An early look at what’s on tap for next week’s loaded WWE RAW!

In case you didn’t catch last night’s New Year’s Eve edition of WWE’s Monday Night RAW (catch up with Mitchell’s Live Report), we got a number of updates on what’s to come next week on the first episode of the red brand for 2019 at the Amway Center in Orlando.

First, while he will be returning to television tonight on SmackDown Live, 16-time WWE Champion John Cena will be back on Monday Night RAW next week, however his involvement has yet to be announced. On top of that, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar returns, making his first WWE appearance since defeating WWE Champion Daniel Bryan back at Survivor Series.

Additionally, after a couple of weeks away from RAW, Alexa Bliss is back on the red brand next Monday to make history as the first female WWE Superstar to have her own talk show, A Moment Of Bliss, with special guest RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. Lastly for the returns, ‘The Monster Among Men’ Braun Strowman will also be in the house as he prepares to face the aforementioned Lesnar for the Universal Championship at Royal Rumble.

That’s not all though, as the RAW Tag Team Titles will be on the line when The Revival challenges Bobby Roode and Chad Gable in a rematch of the Christmas Eve edition of the red brand.

It should also be noted that although it hasn’t been confirmed, there’s been a lot of speculation that we could see any number of the previously announced NXT call-ups arrive. At this time, it’s still unknown where Lars Sullivan, EC3, Heavy Machinery, Nikki Cross and Lacey Evans will wind up.
