It has been a week after "WrestleMania 31," but the road to "Extreme Rules" rolls on with new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins trying to look confident against Randy Orton.
The unofficial season premiere of "Monday Night Raw" starts tonight following a star-studded and memorable “WrestleMania 31” from Levis Stadium with a capacity crowd of 76,976 fans from all 50 states and 40 countries. Many of those fans will be present tonight for perhaps one of the best shows of the year: "The Raw After WrestleMania" show.
"The showcase of the immortals" has arrived for its 31st year, and the WWE's "WrestleMania" card is proving to be a show-stealer. Even the "Kickoff" show is proving to have its own substantive card. From Levis Stadium, "WrestleMania 31" is essentially a showcase of NXT alumni as most of the card features at least one WWE Superstar who entered NXT, the developmental training grounds created by Triple H.
From the Staples Center in Los Angeles, "SmackDown" taped its last edition ahead of Sunday's "WrestleManie 31" and the show will feature a four-man tag-team match main event.
From Kansas City, Missouri, Thursday's edition of "SmackDown" will feature former Shield members competing against each other in a tag-team match, at least, that was the plan until a last-minute backstage attack.
WWE "Monday Night Raw" comes from Des Moines, Iowa, tonight and with "WrestleMania 31" less than two weeks away, some big names are expected to appear. Could Sting be one of them?
Also, Chris Jericho returns to the WWE to host "Monday Night Raw," Nikki Bella plays dirty to defeat AJ Lee to retain her the WWE Divas Championship and Bray Wyatt goes to great extremes to defeat Dean Ambrose at "TLC."
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar is absent once again as the annual "Tables, Ladders and Chairs" is set to take place in Cleveland, Ohio. While Lesnar is out of the picture, the event card is stacked with plenty of stipulations set to capture the WWE Universe's attention span since weapons will be featured in most matches.
Also, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan go up against Intercontinental Champion Luke Harper, The Big Show and Kane in the "Friday Night Smackdown" main event, The Usos take on the team of Tyson Kidd and Cesaro, WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella in action against Alicia Fox, Jack Swagger battles Titus O'Neil and Goldust faces Big E singles competition.
Also, Luke Harper defends his Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler, The New Day face Tyson Kidd and Cesaro in tag team match, United States Champion Rusev battles Dean Ambrose in a non-title match, The Miz goes one-on-one against Jey Uso in singles competition, and Brie Bella battles Naomi.
Also, Stardust and Goldust have dark plans for The New Day, Kane prepares for his "Chairs" match against Ryback at "TLC," and the Bella Twins reunite as they attempt to fend off the angry former champion AJ Lee.
Also, Brie Bella helps Nikkie Bella defeat AJ Lee and win the WWE Divas Championship while Dean Ambrose loses his mind at "Survivor Series" setting up a "Tables, Ladders & Chairs" match at "TLC" next month.
This year's Survivor Series returns to it's roots, featuring the traditional "Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team" main event match between Team Cena (John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, The Big Show, Erick Rowan and Ryback) versus Team Authority (Seth Rollins, Kane, Mark Henry, United States Champion Rusev and Intercontinental Champion Luke Harper).
Also, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan updates his surgery situation, WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee may be leaving the company, The Great Khali is done with the WWE and El Patron Alberto makes a surprise appearance at "House of Hardcore VII."
Also, Grumpy Cat hosts "Monday Night Raw," Bray Wyatt continues his physical and psychological barrage against Dean Ambrose, the Bella Twins continue hounding WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee and The Authority feels the pressure with "Survivor Series" around the corner.
