Per WWE's official Twitter account, a double main event is slated for Monday's Extreme Rules go-home edition of RAW.

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch will take on Andrade and Zelina Vega in inter-gender tag team action. The former duo have faced accusations of a lack of chemistry, but the potential chemistry shared by the Beastslayer and El Idolo is tantalising. Should it be allocated sufficient time and importance, their exchanges promise something genuinely pulsating.

Additionally, the team of Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre will square off against Roman Reigns and a mystery partner of Shane's choosing. Being a dastardly heel, Shane will doubtlessly select a man totally unfit for high-stakes athletic competition. But, since Shane himself is already involved in the match, he'll have to resort to the next best available option. A ham and egger? Quasi-stablemate Elias, to triple down on the stacked odds? Or, along similar lines, Baron Corbin?

Cynicism aside, this isn't a half-bad hook.

Between the promise of totally fire wrestling and the mystery element, this could well result in the second consecutive week of acclaimed television on Monday nights.
