Cleveland will be the center of the wrestling universe Monday night when "Raw" airs live from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Why it matters: The show will feature the fallout from Saturday's big Royal Rumble event.
- WWE traditionally uses the first "Raw" after the Royal Rumble to set up storylines for WrestleMania, the promotion's biggest event of the year.
Driving the news: Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair won the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches, respectively.
- Both will get title matches at WrestleMania 41 in April and appear on tonight's Raw.
Zoom in: Cleveland native Logan Paul didn't win the men's Rumble match. He did, however, get into a heated argument with influencer Kai Cenat, who was in the audience.
- WWE is sure to use Paul and Cenat's huge social media followings to set up a feud heading into WrestleMania.
The intrigue: It will be interesting to see if wrestling legend Hulk Hogan appears on Raw. He made the rounds in Cleveland over the weekend to promote his Real American Beer.
- Hogan, who campaigned for President Trump, was booed mercilessly when he appeared during "Raw's" Netflix premiere on Jan. 6.
- The most anticipated storyline for tonight's show is the feud between CM Punk, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
- The trio of popular superstars brawled after being eliminated from the men's Rumble match, teasing a potential triple-threat match that could be WrestleMania's main event.
If you go: Tickets for "Raw" are still available starting at $30.
- The three-hour live show will air on Netflix starting at 8pm.
