Monday's episode of Raw is being dubbed a 'season premiere' by WWE.

That follows the same format for Friday's edition of SmackDown, and the company are already front-loading the red brand's next effort to try and build excitement.

The main matches on offer include Lana challenging Asuka for the Raw Women's Title and Braun Strowman going one-on-one with Keith Lee. Lana shockingly won a Battle Royal last week to earn her shot - meanwhile, Braun lost a Universal Title bout by submission to Roman Reigns over on SmackDown.

It remains to be seen whether or not that'll play into WWE's narrative for the match with Lee.

In other segments lined up, Elias will perform a concert for "the WWE Universe and Jeff Hardy". Hardy also lost on SmackDown (to Lars Sullivan) before joining Raw permanently.

Finally, a special edition of Bray Wyatt's 'Firefly Fun House' has been announced. It's worth noting that Wyatt's new pal Alexa Bliss was also drafted to Monday nights, so there's a very good chance she'll show up too.

Do you think that's enough for Raw's 'season premiere', or were you hoping for more?
