As announced on Friday, tonight's WWE Raw will be highlighted by a "historic" announcement from Stephanie McMahon, who'll make her first appearance since mediating a Ronda Rousey/Nia Jax confrontation months ago.

Current speculation suggests that McMahon will unveil an all-female pay-per-view, the long-rumoured women's tag team championships, or a combination of both.

If tag titles are introduced, TicketDrew believe that they'll be defended on both Raw and SmackDown. A smart move, as while WWE do have a number of ready-made duos, restricting the belts to a single show would leave the brand stretched.

As far as the pay-per-view goes, WrestleVotes claim a source has told them this could be held in September or October, and would likely feature this year's Mae Young Classic final, along with the tag champions' coronation.

Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley is also on tap for Raw, with the winner facing Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. Current speculation has 'The Beast' facing both on August 19th, though. Expect an inconclusive finish.

On top of all this, WWE.com's Raw preview lists a title rematch between The B Team and Deleters Of Worlds, fresh developments in the Bayley/Sasha Banks saga, as well as teasing shenanigans from the final week of Rousey's suspension, completing a stacked lineup.
