Tonight, the WWE presents Monday Night RAW live from the Bell Centre in Montreal as the company continues to build toward the Battleground pay-per-view and WWE Network special from the Tampa Bay Times Forum in Florida on July 20.
Roman Reigns Rumored To Win 2015 Royal Rumble And Headline WrestleMania 31
Slated for RAW so far is an appearance by WWE Hall of Famer and Canadian Bret "Hitman" Hart while another Canadian, Chris Jericho, will have his first televised match for the company since last July as he takes on The Miz after the two confronted one another last week.
It is unknown what Hart's exact role will be on the show, but he returns to the very building where the infamous Montreal Screwjob went down and Shawn Michaels won the WWE Championship in controversial fashion in 1997 at the Survivor Series.
WWE Network Projects Pushed Back Due To Vince McMahon Budget Cuts
No other matches have been booked besides Jericho vs. The Miz, but it will be interesting to see if Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family get involved after they surrounded Jericho in the ring on last week's show. Jericho is rumored to face The Miz at Battleground and then clash with Bray Wyatt at August's SummerSlam.
The company has announced that more participants for the Intercontinental Championship battle royal at Battleground should be revealed on the show. Cesaro, who is wearing a patch due to an eye injury, was the favorite to win the match but it remains to be seen if his eye injury will keep him out of action.
Aside from Cesaro, Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, The Great Khali, Rob Van Dam, Dolph Ziggler, Big E, Ryback, Curtis Axel, Alberto Del Rio and Bo Dallas have already been confirmed for the battle royal.
The WWE will also further the feud with The Authority and Seth Rollins against Dean Ambrose, the confrontation between the anti-American camp of Rusev and Lana and the pro-Americans in Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter and the ongoing Divas Championship feud with A.J. Lee and Paige.
It was revealed over the weekend that Santino Marella announced his retirement at a WWE Live Event in Toronto due to sustaining the third neck injury of his career, and the company may reveal it to the general audience on tonight's show.
The company will also undoubtedly check in on the four participants in the Fatal 4 Way main event at Battleground as John Cena, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane will all be a part of what should be a solid RAW following last week's memorable show.
The WWE presents RAW live tonight from Montreal as it continues to build toward Battleground, which airs in less than two weeks live from Tampa Bay.
