What Can We Expect From WWE Raw Season Premiere Tonight?

WWE looks to recover from last week's poor outing with Jerry Springer and a steel cage main event.

Tonight€™s edition of Monday Night Raw will be in the Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. WWE is hyping tonight€™s show as the season premiere, despite Raw running uninterrupted week-to-week. A couple of huge announcements have already taken place in regard to tonight€™s program. It was announced last week that Jerry Springer -- the ex-mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio and former television talk show host -- will be making an appearance tonight in Baltimore. Springer is set to host an intervention between Nikki and Brie, the Bella Twins. Will Springer be able to maintain order between the two warring siblings, or will Nikki and Brie€™s quarreling turn physical? Also announced for tonight are two big matchups. Roman Reigns and Randy Orton are set to square off, as Reigns continues to do battle with the Authority on a weekly basis. Furthermore, fans will witness a main event steel cage match that will see Chris Jericho step inside the unforgiving structure with the leader of the buzzards, Bray Wyatt. Jericho and Bray are currently at a stalemate, as they€™ve each been victorious in one of their previous encounters. Who will leave the cage the better man tonight? And what role will Erick Rowan and Luke Harper play, as they€™re surely to be on the outside? WWE is further hyping some of their other ongoing feuds, such as the growing rivalry between Mark Henry and Rusev. Will Rusev continue along his path of domination or has he met his match in the World€™s Strongest Man? And what will John Cena€™s role be tonight, as he prepares to do battle with Brock Lesnar in less than two weeks? The WWE has a hell of a task ahead of them, as they look to recover from last week€™s grossly lackluster Raw. The company has proved in the past that they€™re capable of turning the tides very swiftly. Will tonight€™s lineup equal a better program, or will WWE continue to bungle their flagship show? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and don€™t forget to catch Raw tonight.
