Bengaluru, July 1: WWE returns to Dallas, Texas tonight to host Monday Night Raw at the American Airlines Center, where the build up for Extreme Rules pay-per-view will pick up pace.

Last week on Raw, we saw some fresh storylines kick off with a legend returning to save the current marquee star of the company. Plus, the title matches also saw a few twists with the prime champions of the Red brand pairing to ward off their respective challengers.

This week, the promotion has announced a one-on-one match with a stipulation added as the behemoths of the roster are set to collide. Along with that match, we will also witness a tag team match by the way of the Wild Card Rule.

And like we mentioned earlier, the victims of the attacks from the returning legend will look to respond on the show which will also feature the prime champions, the US champion and more.

Plus, Paul Heyman is set to call the shots after he was hired full-time by the WWE. So, it will be interseting to see if the show sees an upward turn in ratings.

Sony TEN 1 and Sony TEN 1HD will telecast WWE Monday Night Raw in India on Tuesday (July 2) from 5.30 AM IST, while the repeat will air later in the day at 12 PM, 4 PM and 8 PM.

With a few matches already being finalized for the July 14 pay-per-view, expect more to be officially added to the stipulation themed card. And after last week's dramatic edition one wouldn't want to miss this week's action.

Here is what's in store for Raw in Dallas:

Falls Count Anywhere Match: Strowman vs Lashley

Falls Count Anywhere Match: Strowman vs Lashley

Strowman and Lashley have been feuding for the past few weeks and tonight they will take their massive rivalry outside the ring for a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Which of these behemoths will cement their dominance on the red brand?

The Monster Among Men beat Lashley in an Arm Wrestling Match, a one-on-one battle at WWE Super ShowDown and, but last week in a Tug of War, The All Mighty was the one standing tall.

Now, Strowman gets a chance to seek retribution against the bitter Lashley when they meet in a Falls Count Anywhere Match on Raw in Dallas.

Here is part of WWE's announcement: "Will Lashley continue to "get these hands" as these titans battle all over the arena in a bout where pinfalls or submissions can occur anywhere? Or will The All Mighty use this chaotic stipulation to finally cut The Monster Among Men down to size? Whatever happens, you won't want to miss any of the hard-hitting havoc."

The Undertaker returned last week on Raw to help Roman Reigns ward off a two-on-one beatdown at the hands of Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre. The unexpected assist which no one saw coming led to a blockbuster WWE Extreme Rules announcement that Reigns and The Deadman will join forces, but against "The Best in the World" and The Scottish Psychopath in Philadelphia.

What next for AJ Styles?

AJ Styles returned from his injury lay-off and lived up to his "Never Rest, Never Rust" T-shirt slogan, as he brought the fight to new United States Champion Ricochet in a blockbuster Raw main event that sealed a victory for The Phenomenal One.

Ricochet has been on a tear lately, dazzling the WWE Universe and dazing opponents as he continues to fine-tune his spectacular aerial offense, but the veteran Styles proved in their match why he's lauded as one of the most competitive Superstars in WWE today. With that victory, will Styles soon land a title opportunity?

Will Samoa topple Kofi for the WWE title?

Will Samoa topple Kofi for the WWE title?

Kofi Kingston has proved time and again that he is a fighting champion with multiple defenses of the Smackdown crown. And after defending his WWE Title against Dolph Ziggler in a Steel Cage Match at WWE Stomping Grounds, he found a new challenger the very next day on Raw.

Taking advantage of Kingston's exhaustion after a match against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, Samoa Joe attacked Kingston from behind and locked him in the Coquina Clutch to make his intentions clear for a title shot.

That ambush led to a WWE Title Match between Kingston and The Samoan Submission Machine at WWE Extreme Rules. Kofi now counts down the days to what could be his greatest challenge since winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. How will Joe follow up on last week's heinous assault? Will New Day play a role and set up a tag team match for the night? Find out on Raw.

Tag Team Champions and rest of the roster

Tag Team Champions and rest of the roster

The Revival claimed the tag team gold a few weeks back and have been locked in feud with the Usos. So, there is every chance a tag team title match will be made official for Extreme Rules be it a traditional tag team match or a multi team match. With the themed pay-per-view, you never know, we may see a extreme rules tag team match.

Lars Sullivan may have moved on from the feud against the Lucha House Party, but he is sure set to cause havoc on his return. However, there are reports that he has been injured. Jinder Mahal meanwhile, could miss a few weeks of action after he underwent surgery.

Apart from the aforementioned segments, we could see the wild goose chase for the 24/7 champion continue on Raw, where the likes of Bray Wyatt, Money in the Bank holder Brock Lesnar, Luke Gallows, Carl Anderson, the Miz and more will be in involved in some capacity.
