The recent theme of WWE Raw playing host to significant title matches looks set to continue next week, as both the Raw Tag Team and United States straps will be on the line.

Tag Team Champions The Hurt Business (Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander) will put their prizes on the line against The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods). This comes following Woods' win over Benjamin one-on-one last night, with Shelton allowing himself to be distracted by Kingston's ringside presence, leading to the finish.

The Hurt Business took those belts from The New Day at TLC 2020 on 20 December, with next week set to be the first time Woods and Kingston have fought Benjamin and Alexander for the gold since then.

Elsewhere, Riddle will put the United States Championship on the line against Mustafa Ali. Riddle has been feuding with RETRIBUTION lately, besting the group in a six-man tag last week before losing to Ali one-on-one immediately after. Last night, Riddle defeated Slapjack, boosting him up before next week's title fight.

Ali will be Riddle's first title defence since winning the belt at Elimination Chamber 2021.
