It's the final Monday Night RAW before this year's Money in the Bank pay-per-view and WWE looks to make the go-home show worthwhile.
Becky Lynch will be on RAW to take part in a double contract signing with Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair, the two women she will face on Sunday - in separate matches. As with just about every contract signing, fists will almost certainly fly and a table or two will break. But as she heads into her title defenses, should Lynch risk getting into these scrums?
It's also good to see Charlotte on TV again after being off last week. But Mr. McMahon's "Wild Card Rule" brings her over from SmackDown Live for this special occasion.
The Miz brings Miz TV back tonight with Roman Reigns as his guest. Roman will take on Elias this Sunday while Miz will take on Shane McMahon in a Cage Match. Reigns makes his way to RAW thanks to, you guessed it, Mr. McMahon's "Wild Card Rule" and he probably won't be the only SmackDown Live superstar appearing in this segment.
In a list of matches featuring Money in the Bank participants, WWE fans will get Ricochet vs Baron Corbin and Braun Strowman vs Drew McIntyre. The four RAW women in Sunday's ladder match - Naomi, Alexa Bliss, Natalya and Dana Brooke - will face each other in a fatal fourway.
Fans will also see the build towards the Universal Championship match between Seth Rollins and AJ Styles continue tonight. After Styles inadvertently hit Rollins during their tag match last week, don't expect Seth to take things lying down.
And finally, Bray Wyatt's "Firefly Fun House" returns. The Eater of Worlds teased on Twitter today that tonight's episode will be a special one and that he's "dying to show us."
I hope you enjoy tonights special #FireFlyFunHouse
