After a momentous night at Payback, the page turns as the WWE presents Monday Night RAW live from the Richmond Coliseum in Virginia.
WWE Payback 2015 Results: Seth Rollins Survives Using Pedigree
The main focus will be on WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins as he retained his gold in a Fatal 4 Way Match against former Shield stablemates Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton.
Rollins used the Pedigree on "The Viper" and had some help from Kane and J&J Security in his successful defense.
Renee Young Dishes On Relationship With Dean Ambrose
Now that Rollins is still standing as the No. 1 guy, the world awaits what the next hurdle will be for "The Architect." We'll also discover what's in store for Orton, Reigns and Ambrose after their latest setback.
Superstars advertised for Monday Night RAW this week include Rollins, United States Champion John Cena, Reigns, Ambrose, Rusev, Orton, Kane and Sheamus.
The Big Show is also rumored to return to television for the first time since losing a Last Man Standing match to Reigns last month at Extreme Rules.
Cena successfully defeated Rusev in an I Quit Match to retain his gold Sunday night at Payback, and he promised to once again put his title on the line in an open challenge on RAW.
As for the Bulgarian Brute, Lana quit on his behalf at Payback when Cena had him in a compromising position.
Later on, he kicked her out of the locker room following the match, meaning an official split could be coming between the Super Athlete and the Ravishing Russian on the WWE's flagship show.
Over in the tag division, The New Day was able to successfully defend its gold against Cesaro and Tyson Kidd after Xavier Woods illegally came into the bout and rolled up the Swiss Superstar for the pinfall victory in the third and deciding fall.
While The New Day survived Payback, it now faces the daunting task of defending the gold in an Elimination Chamber contest in two weeks and more will likely be shed about that match this week on RAW.
There are plenty of scores to be settled after Payback as well as Bray Wyatt overcame Ryback, Neville thwarted off King Barrett by countout and Sheamus defeated Dolph Ziggler in the opening contest.
Ryback may have suffered a broken rib from the Eater of Worlds in their contest, so it remains to be seen if that feud will continue. Barrett was booked to run away from his match with Neville and eat a countout loss, so that feud is surely to continue this week. As for Ziggler, he required stitches after his bout with the Celtic Warrior and that rivalry seems far from over.
Over in the Divas division, Tamina and Naomi notched a big win over The Bella Twins on Sunday and Naomi hinted she could be going after Nikki Bella's Divas Championship, possibly as soon as this week's RAW.
With Elimination Chamber emanating in just two weeks in Texas, the WWE will likely begin to round out the fields for the chamber matches that will be contested for the vacant Intercontinental Championship and the Tag Team Championships. The company may also add more matches to the card.
Though Sunday's show was listed as Payback, revenge is still on everyone's mind when Monday Night RAW emanates live this week from Virginia
