WWE are currently putting together one hell of a card for next week's Raw in Madison Square Garden, adding three potential in-ring bangers to the show yesterday.

The first is a non-title match between United States Champion AJ Styles and Cedric Alexander, who's out for revenge after AJ and The OC attacked him ahead of his King of the Ring quarter-final vs. Baron Corbin. The quality of Alexander's recent in-ring output suggests this will be a hoot.

Elsewhere, the returning Rey Mysterio faces Gran Metalik in the kind of exciting exhibition match WWE should really book more of, given how talented their roster is.

Finally, there's a story-rich tag bout pitting old rivals Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair against their Clash of Champions opponents Bayley and Sasha Banks, who have targeted both women on recent episodes of Raw and SmackDown.

Not only are we getting these matches, but there's also the three-way King of the Ring semi-final between Ricochet, Baron Corbin, and Samoa Joe, as well as 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin returning to moderate Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman's Universal Title contract signing.

Raw has been very, very strong lately. This lineup suggests another great show is on the cards.
