The top advertised item a Shield reunion. Dean Ambrose’s “Ambrose Asylum” talk show segment has been un-cancelled, bringing together Ambrose, WWE World Hvt. champion Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins for an interview. This will set up Reigns vs. Rollins for the WWE Title at MITB on Sunday.

Also, Raw will feature the final build-up to the highly-anticipated John Cena vs. A.J. Styles match at MITB. The match-up has captivated the Raw audience through the first two weeks, based on quarter-hour TV ratings, setting up the final hype tonight on Raw also involving The Club’s Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows.

Also in-play is whether WWE names the seventh man in the MITB ladder match. WWE established the first six of seven contestants early in the build-up, leaving the seventh spot open for a few weeks.

Plus, floating out in Injury Land waiting to return is Bray Wyatt, who tweeted about New Orleans two weeks ago to tease his potential return.
