Monday Night RAW<\/strong> returns with yet another WWE ThunderDome<\/strong> edition of the red brand in action.\u00a0 In what is perhaps rare fashion during the lock-down era, WWE have announced a number of segments in advance.\u00a0 This means that we actually have segments to preview! How great is that? Good thing, too, as WWE TLC<\/strong> <\/em>is this Sunday.\u00a0 Let’s dive right in and get this thing over with.<\/p>\n

The New Day and Jeff Hardy versus The Hurt Business<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For weeks now, The New Day<\/strong> (Kofi Kingston<\/strong> and Xavier Woods<\/strong>) and The Hurt Business<\/strong> (Shelton Benjamin<\/strong> and Cedric Alexander<\/strong>) have been feuding.\u00a0 In all honesty, it feels like months.\u00a0 Whereas the matches are good and both factions are highly likable, there just is not a whole lot more to add to this match-up.\u00a0 So naturally, WWE management have added Jeff Hardy<\/strong> to it.\u00a0 Why? Who knows.\u00a0 It makes the match somewhat different, at least – and it means Bobby Lashley<\/strong> can lend a hand too.\u00a0 Expect a good match with some kind of dubious finish.<\/p>\n

Nia Jax vs Lana<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the surprise packages in recent weeks has been the rise of Lana<\/strong>.\u00a0 Weeks (we lost count) of being slammed through the announce table led to a shocking, sole survivor performance for Team RAW at Survivor Series<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 This has only further catapulted her into a higher position in the RAW women’s division.\u00a0 She has formed an interesting<\/em> friendship with Asuka<\/strong> and a potential victory for them over Nia Jax<\/strong> and Shayna Bazler<\/strong> at TLC could be to come.\u00a0 Will she beat Nia Jax tonight? Tune in to find out.<\/p>\n

Sheamus vs AJ Styles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Perhaps one of the best things on RAW right now is the friendship of Sheamus<\/strong> and WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre<\/strong>.\u00a0 One thing the WWE doesn’t usually explore is real-life friendships – especially when it is the friendship of a heel and babyface.\u00a0 This Sunday, AJ Styles<\/strong> will have his match with McIntyre for the WWE Championship.\u00a0 Will Drew’s best buddy soften AJ up for him? This is clearly leading to a match between Drew McIntyre and Sheamus, so it should be interesting to see just what happens this Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Firefly Field Trip Comes to RAW<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"RAW\"<\/p>\n

Who even knows what this is.\u00a0 Bray Wyatt<\/strong> is bringing his friends Abby the Witch<\/strong>, Huskus the Pig Boy<\/strong>, and whatever else lives in his head to RAW this week.\u00a0 Why? Again, we don’t know.\u00a0 It might have something to do with his WWE TLC<\/em> opponent Randy Orton<\/strong>, though, so it could potentially be bad news for him.\u00a0 On last week’s RAW, The Fiend interfered in a match between Bray and Orton… somehow.\u00a0 Expect a Fiendish appearance to take place here.\u00a0 Additionally, let’s hope for a Friendship Frog<\/strong> appearance.<\/p>\n

AJ Styles Comes to RAW To Present: The Nightmare Before TLC<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

.@AJStylesOrg<\/a> looks to send a message to @DMcIntyreWWE<\/a> with \u201cThe Nightmare Before TLC,\u201d @WWEBrayWyatt takes a field trip, and three HUGE matches come to the red brand tonight on #WWERaw<\/a>!<\/p>\n
