WWE Raw Preview: Will Nikki Bella Break AJ Lee's Record?

Will Sting be there?

Get ready to hear the words "Season Premiere" all night during Raw because that's what WWE is calling Monday's episode that will feature a Tag Team Title match as well as a Divas Title encounter. The show is taking place at the FedEx Forum in Memphis. Those two matches were announced last week with The New Day defending the Tag Team Titles against the Prime Time Players while Nikki Bella will defend the Divas Title against Charlotte before the "Bellatron" expires. The winner of the tag match faces the Dudley Boyz at Night of Champions on Sunday in Houston. The main reason that WWE advertised two title matches a week early is because there's a NFL Monday Night Football doubleheader starting at 7pmET (an hour before Raw starts), so WWE knows that some fans are going to be tuned into that. As a result, WWE wants to try to load up the show as much as possible.

In addition to those matches, Sting is expected to be on Raw. Last week on Raw, Sting destroyed Seth Rollins' statue, but they didn't have any physical interaction. Perhaps this week they will brawl in order to build up their Night of Champions match. The status of Randy Orton has been interesting in the last week. There were initial reports after Raw that he was going to be given time off after being attacked from the Wyatt Family. Then a few days later, things changed and he was booked to be at Raw although it might only be in a dark match segment. If he is on Raw then he's probably going to team with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns at Night of Champions. Here are the five questions posed on WWE.com's preview of Raw: How will Seth Rollins retaliate against Sting? Will Nikki Bella make history? Which tandem will go to Night of Champions with the WWE Tag Team Titles? Who will join Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose against The Wyatt Family? What new drama will unfold between WWE€™s most talked-about couples? There will likely be more Raw announcements via WWE's various social media outlets on Monday as well.
