-- Tonight's WWE Raw begins the build towards crowning the new WWE World champion and fightfulselect.com has some early creative notes for the show, though everything is subject to change.
- Becky Lynch remains off TV to further the storyline between her and Trish Stratus and WWE had numerous "missing" posters made for Lynch, who hasn't been seen in about a month.
- WWE is also going to move forward with a story that began on social media involving Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville. The duo are planned to be a regular tag team and they will be doing an angle where they petition for other wrestlers and staff to stand up and go against management.
- The aforementioned World Heavyweight title tournament is expected to take up a "significant portion" of Raw with two triple threat matches and a final singles match at the end of the night to determine the wrestler who will move onto Night of Champions to compete for the title. The actual championship belt is expected to be ringside during the matches.
