WWE Monday Night Raw: What next for Brock Lesnar?

Preparations for Brock Lesnar's triple threat match against Kane and Braun Strowman go up a notch on this week's Raw, live on Sky Sports Arena at 1am.

The majority of the men's roster was required to keep Lesnar and the Big Red Machine from each other after an in-no-way friendly coming together between the duo at the conclusion of the show.

The duo and Strowman will compete for Lesnar's Universal title in a triple threat match at Royal Rumble on January 28 where the first man to score a pinfall will take the championship.

Strowman was occupied with a handicap match against Rhyno and Heath Slater - after which he dished out several of his trademark running powerslams to both men - and was not involved in the end-of-show tear-up between Lesnar and Kane.


But Strowman isn't called the Monster Among Men for nothing, and will surely want to make his presence felt tonight.

Will The Miz be looking to avenge his Intercontinental title loss to Roman Reigns when he returns to Raw this week?

Will The Miz be looking for Reigns?
Roman Reigns remains Intercontinental champion after seeing off Samoa Joe last week in a brutal and highly entertaining match which will surely leave Joe wanting another shot.
He almost got the better of Reigns before the champion slipped out of his Coquina Clutch and scored a victory with a huge spear.

But Joe may have to wait for his rematch. The Miz is back on Raw this week and is unlikely to forget that it was Reigns who beat him for the title.
There will be other contenders too; Finn Balor has been revitalised by his reunion with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, and Elias will need something to focus his mind with his associates Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel likely to return back to Miztourage duties.

Cedric Alexander was denied his shot at the cruiserweight title last week when Enzo Amore was ill

Alexander gets his shot
Cruiserweight champion Enzo Amore missed last week's Raw with illness, depriving Cedric Alexander of the title opportunity he earned by coming through two qualifying matches.
The pair will therefore do battle tonight in the latest title defence to take place on the red brand.

Amore has because increasingly involved with Nia Jax in recent weeks, a competitor who knows all about helping a champion stay a champion after her work alongside Alexa Bliss.
Will the champion be reliant on Nia Jax in order to keep the strap? And what role will there be for the other members of the Zo Train at ringside?
