Tonight’s episode of WWE Raw is the final Monday Night Raw before Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 23 from Fort Wayne, IN, and the second-to-last Raw before Clash in Italy on May 31 in Turin. Tonight’s show airs live from the First Horizon Coliseum (formerly the Greensboro Coliseum) in Greensboro, NC, starting at 8 PM ET on Netflix worldwide.

Roman Reigns returns to WWE TV after Jacob Fatu attacked him on last week’s Raw in Knoxville. Brie Bella and Paige defend the Women’s Tag Team Titles for the first time since their reign began at WrestleMania 42 against The Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. The challengers will be accompanied to ringside by Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.
