Raw will be live from Nationwide Arena in Columbus Ohio.
Chris Jericho will have the Highlight Reel with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman.
Alberto Del Rio will defend the United States Championship against Kalisto.
And well, Roman will be Roman.

Hmm, 2 US title rematches in less than a week after being defending last Monday. Makes sense.

See, I could go to this. But I have front row for Smackdown tomorrow, so I think I'll just settle with that. My only draw for Raw would be Brock and Heyman.

ADR is most certainly not the champion of the United States. That title belongs to Jeff Gordon.

As if Mr. McMahon hadn’t stacked the deck against Roman Reigns already, forcing The Big Dog to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against 29 other Superstars in this year’s historic Royal Rumble Match, one of those challengers will be the returning Brock Lesnar. As The Beast Incarnate and his vocal advocate, Paul Heyman, join Chris Jericho on “The Highlight Reel” Monday night, what’s going through Reigns’ mind? Brock Lesnar has taken Roman Reigns to Suplex City before, but The Big Dog’s brutal encounter with The Beast Incarnate on Raw last week was painful for multiple reasons. Already facing an uphill battle by having to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against 29 Superstars in the 2016 Royal Rumble Match, Reigns now also finds himself in the crosshairs of The Anomaly, a monster who will stop at nothing to ascend to the top of the sports-entertainment food chain. Whatever strategy Reigns had for this near-impossible title defense just went right out the window. Following that savage display of aggression, Lesnar will appear on Chris Jericho’s “The Highlight Reel” alongside Paul Heyman. What questions will Y2J have for The Beast and his calculating advocate? No matter what happens, The Big Dog will be watching. Believe that. With their Eight-Man Tag Team Match victory on SmackDown Thursday night, it’s clear that Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Adam Rose and Bo Dallas are on a roll. No, we can’t believe it either. Now that The Social Outcasts have apparently cemented themselves as WWE’s latest faction, can we expect this unusual assortment of social media-friendly Superstars to become champions in the near future? Plus, what impact will this newly formed group have on this year’s Royal Rumble Match? Expect The Social Outcasts to be a trending topic once Raw goes on the air. After attacking Charlotte on Raw, Becky Lynch made clear on Thursday night’s SmackDown that she’s more than ready for a Divas Championship Match at the Royal Rumble event — a challenge that has yet to be accepted by the second-generation titleholder. If The Irish Lass Kicker brings the same level of intensity to that potential Divas Title bout that she brought to SmackDown, where she soundly defeated Brie Bella, then Charlotte’s reign could be in danger on Jan. 24. Will the daughter of Ric Flair respond to her former friend? It was fun while it lasted. In one of the biggest upset victories in Raw’s 23-year history, Kalisto captured Alberto Del Rio’s United States Championship — a title that was reclaimed by The Essence of Excellence on SmackDown. As one might expect from the devious Del Rio, that win was ill-gotten, and had it not been for the intervening King Barrett, Kalisto would be proudly carrying the prestigious title to Raw. Can the masked underdog contend with the machinations of The League of Nations and soon win back the title that was stolen from him? How are Del Rio and his associates conspiring to ensure that the star-spangled championship remains around the waist of “Mexico’s Greatest Export”? Dean Ambrose declared on SmackDown that at the Royal Rumble event, he’ll defend the Intercontinental Championship against Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing Match — an unforgiving stipulation that seems more than fitting for one of WWE’s most destructive rivalries. For weeks now, The Lunatic Fringe and The Prizefighter have torn apart each other — and their surroundings — in the name of the Intercontinental Title. Who will be left standing on Raw, less than a week removed from what will no doubt be their most savage battle yet? Don’t miss Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network, and be sure to tune in to Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET, only on the award-winning WWE Network.

This is the go home show, right?
I'm predicting the show ends with everyone brawling.

Why is the US Title match tonight? So they can have another rematch on SmackDown. It will be an infinite loop of title changes.

The Kevstaaa, I saw that graphic of the opening segments sometime last week and it gave me nervous laughter. The kind you get when something is unintentionally funny but you can't really believe it. Giving WWE the benefit of the doubt here (like they've earned it), there is a possibility that a memo came down from USA execs that indicate that they like the McMahons at the top of the show because they feel it props up the rest of the night, but man, if that's the case, you've got to start questioning their judgment as well. That whole opening segment last week was so wildly tone-deaf that, again, you just have to laugh. They say the best stories are rooted somewhere in reality, and WWE think that's what they're giving the audience, when it fact it's the total opposite. The suspension of disbelief here is just too dramatic. They almighty McMahon family is in the ring, belittling and berating their entire roster of loyal servants atop the stage and using them as common fodder to face to rebel champion who the crowd is supposed to solely get behind. The problem, of course, is that the rebel champion is, in fact, anything but a rebel. He's the hand-chosen, come hell or high water golden boy of the very family standing in the ring telling him he's not good enough. There's no reality. It's the McMahons poking fun of the actual "rebel heroes" (Dolph Zigger, Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens) while they parade Reigns under the guise of a anti-authority figure. You can't play an anti-authority figure if a huge portion of your audience heard you say "I'm just here to do what I'm told and get rich" less than a year prior. The wheels, they are a comin' off. Matching up Roman with the big bad McMahons worked for a couple of weeks, but now its backfired into something much worse than booing. It's turned to total apathy. The audiences are defeated. If they cheer Roman, McMahon wins. If they cheer McMahon, it strokes his ego, and, by extension, he wins. So, they sit silent, hands tied, realizing there's nothing they can do.
