 Less than a week before Night of Champions, the season premiere of Raw is already packed with high-stakes action, with Nikki Bella defending her Divas Championship against Charlotte and The New Day putting their WWE Tag Team Championship on the line against former titleholders The Prime Time Players. What else is in store on this monumental edition of Raw? WWE.com has some ideas. How will Seth Rollins retaliate against Sting?Seth Rollins might hold both the WWE World Heavyweight and United States Titles, but he’s no doubt feeling less than golden after last Monday night’s Raw, when he suffered defeat to Intercontinental Champion Ryback, was on the losing side of the night’s six-man tag team main event and saw his precious bronze statue — crafted to celebrate his status as “The Man” in WWE — crushed in the back of a garbage truck by Sting. The Architect earned back a measure of his dignity on SmackDown, when he defeated The Big Guy in a Lumberjack Match, but Rollins is no doubt anxious to retaliate against The Vigilante. Will “The Future of WWE” lure Sting from the shadows for a confrontation before their WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match at Night of Champions? Or will Rollins save his strength, knowing that he’ll also need to defend the U.S. Title against John Cena that same night, live on WWE Network? Will Nikki Bella make history?Going into Monday night, Nikki Bella will have already tied AJ Lee’s Divas Title record of 295 days as champion, and if she turns back Charlotte on Raw’s season premiere, she’ll become the longest-reigning Divas Champion of all time. In a WWE.com interview with Michael Cole, Nikki affirmed that she “needs” to make history on Monday night, but let’s not forget that it was Charlotte who made Nikki vigorously tap the canvas last week when the PCB member trapped the titleholder in the Figure-Eight Leglock. Will we witness a similar outcome on Raw’s season premiere, or will Nikki go down in the record books as the most dominant Divas Champion of all time? Which tandem will go to Night Of Champions with the Tag Team Titles?Xavier Woods might have to put his trombone rehearsals on hold going into Raw’s season premiere, as The New Day prepares to defend their WWE Tag Team Titles against the very game Prime Time Players. Titus O’Neil and Darren Young were victorious alongside John Cena against Kofi Kingston, Big E and U.S. and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins last week on Raw, and will no doubt relish the opportunity to roll into Night of Champions with the WWE Tag Team Titles around their waists. However, whoever walks away with the victory faces an unenviable challenge next Sunday night: a title defense against The Dudley Boyz, live on the award-winning WWE Network. Who will join Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose against the Wyatt Family? Friends are hard to come by, especially when you’re looking for backup against The Wyatt Family. Last Monday night, after Randy Orton seemed to show interest in joining Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose against Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and the imposing Braun Strowman, The Wyatt Family laid waste to The Viper, sending a powerful message to the entire WWE locker room. After the monstrous trio made an example of WWE’s Apex Predator on Raw and assaulted Jimmy Uso on SmackDown, will The Big Dog and The Lunatic Fringe be able to find a partner before their Six-Man Tag Team Match against The Wyatt Family at Night of Champions? Who would be bold enough to stand alongside the potentially outmatched brothers-in-arms? What new drama will unfold between WWE’s most talked-about couples?The TMZ-worthy scandal involving Dolph Ziggler, Lana, Rusev and Summer Rae has taken some interesting turns since Summer “accidentally” walked in on the showering Showoff two weeks ago on Raw. Summer claimed to have an “on-and-off” relationship with Ziggler during “Miz TV” on SmackDown, driving a rift between The Showoff and The Ravishing Russian. Then, after Lana suffered a broken wrist while training before a WWE Live Event the following Sunday, Summer publicly apologized to The Bulgarian Brute on Raw for bringing him into all of this. Where will this romantic roller coaster lead us next? How might this bizarre drama affect Ziggler’s upcoming bout with Rusev at Night of Champions? Whatever happens between these warring couples on Raw, the WWE Universe will be buzzing. 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. |

If Nikki beats AJ's record I'm okay with it.
Anyway, Raw can't be as bad as it was the last two weeks...can it?

Apparently, as of right now, Nikki is NOT tied with A.J's record. Forgot where I saw it, but it all comes down to hours and minutes. If Nikki still holds the title at the end of the show, she still won't beat A.J's record until a few hours after. But, if Charlotte wins the title tonight, Nikki won't even tie A.J's record.
Anyways, tonight is the night?

I can't see Nikki losing the title tonight. Today she equals AJ so why would they have them share the record?

Here are my predictions for how everyone is going to react to Diva's Title match.
-Nikki retains and the AJ/NXT fans lose their minds
-Charlotte wins and all the Bella fans lose their minds
-There will be a 10 page thread where people claim it was either the best match they've ever seen or the biggest piece of sh*t they've ever seen
-"This is why the Diva's Revolution is Failing" threads across all IWC forums
-Someone will go out of their way to call Paige an egomaniac and a bitch.

Does Season Premiere actually mean anything?

I am really hoping Nikki Bella retains the belt tonight, which I believe she will.
I have said it for quite some time and I still believe it to be true.... Nikki Bella won't lose the Divas Title until Eva Marie is brought up to the main roster to defeat her for it. They aren't gonna have Nikki lose the Divas title this Sunday at Night of Champions. It would mean the longest reign just goes 6 days past the original longest reign held by AJ Lee.
I think Nikki will hold it for quite some time - maybe even to Wrestlemania 32. I saw on Total Divas that they talked about the plans for Eva Marie to be the Divas Champion at Wrestlemania 32. I can see Vince doing this, he is treating her like the female Rock - which is probably why she was seen with The Rock at a movie premiere (as shown on Total Divas).
Also, another reason why I want Nikki to retain is I hate "Nature Girl" Chic Flair. If she didn't rip off her father in every which way possible then maybe I would enjoy her work.

Looking forward to it...I guess? It'll probably the first RAW I watch from start to finish in a long time.

Does Season Premiere actually mean anything? Not at all. Anyway, I don't really care about tonight. Hopefully it's good, but I'll be watching Monday Night Football and working through Raw during commercial breaks/halftime/after the games/tomorrow. Let's see if they can redeem themselves after last week's ratings disaster. USA will likely start putting some pressure on them soon. WWE can dispel the value of ratings these days all they want, but the outlook is bad, bad, bad and continues trending downward. |

Couldn't agree more. It's a female Ric Flair, nothing original or unique about her. I'm hoping Nikki retains. Sasha for champ after Nikki. |

Does Season Premiere actually mean anything? Yeah, it means we won't get anymore reruns of the same matches we have seen for months on Raw.... oh wait.... those weren't reruns, those were new shows each week. Oh dear.... |

They should tie in WWE 2K16 and the Ambrose/Reigns/Wyatt by making the third partner for Ambrose and Reigns someone in the game...and that man should be...  |

I, too, am in the camp of wanting Nikki to retain tonight.
Breaking AJ's record means nothing to me. The Diva's Championship has never meant a damn thing - be it on AJ, or Nikki, or anyone else. The Diva's Revolution has done nothing to change that thus far. Charlotte's #1 contendership was horribly botched and poorly received. Getting angry that politics air on the side of the Bellas shouldn't mean anything to us because we've been conditioned to believe that everything WWE says about the divas division is hollow, and therefore, the title (and the title holder) is hollow.
Not to mention, I'm inclined to agree with most of the sentiments about Charlotte being an unoriginal clone of her father. She's good, and she'll get better. She's not the face of the division, though. The crowd is not responding to her the way WWE would hope. Also, she's not Sasha Banks. I say that with the utmost respect to her, and every other diva on the roster, but it's simple - there's Sasha Banks, and there's everyone else. Sasha Banks is the John Cena of the women's division. Until she's positioned that way, the divas division is not going to live up to its potential. She's just a cut above, plain and simple.
