AT THE TALKING STICK RESORT ARENA<br \/>\nSEPTEMBER 30, 2019<br \/>\nAIRS ON USA NETWORK, 8:00 p.m. EDT<br \/>\nBY FRANK PETEANI (@FrankPeteani), PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Announcers: Vic Joseph, Jerry \u201cThe King\u201d Lawler, Dio Madden<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Arena and Items Advertised by WWE<\/h3>\n<p>WWE returns to the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, AZ. for the \u201cseason premiere\u201d of Monday Night Raw, as we get ready to head into a new era of wrestling in a lot of ways. Raw remains home on Monday nights where Smackdown moves to Friday nights on FOX. AEW\u2019s Dynamite gets ready to roll out this Wednesday night opposite of NXT, which will be the first full two-hour episode on USA after two weeks being split between USA and the WWE Network. The Talking Stick Resort Arena played host to Royal Rumble weekend this past January when it hosted NXT: Takeover as well as Raw and Smackdown<\/p>\n<p>This past week, WWE announced new broadcast teams for Raw and Smackdown. Vic Joseph, Dio Madden, and WWE Hall of Famer Jerry \u201cThe King\u201d Lawler will call the action on Raw. The incumbent Raw team of Michael Cole and Corey Graves slide over to Smackdown with Renee Young as a \u201cspecial correspondent.\u201d It was also announced Renee would host a new show in FS1 called \u201cBackstage.\u201d Graves ends his time pulling \u201cdouble duty.\u201d Some reports have now-former Smackdown announcer Tom Phillips working behind the scenes as a producer. It\u2019s not known at the moment what\u2019s going on with Byron Saxton, who regularly called Smackdown with Phillips and Graves.<\/p>\n<p>WWE announced many segments on last week\u2019s show and throughout the past week. Here is what\u2019s on tap thus far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Seth Rollins to defend the Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio<\/li>\n<li>Brock Lesnar returns to Raw<\/li>\n<li>Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair to guest star on \u201cMizTV\u201d<\/li>\n<li>WWE Women\u2019s Tag Team Champion Alexa Bliss battles Sasha Banks<\/li>\n<li>Cedric Alexander receives U.S. Title rematch against A.J. Styles<\/li>\n<li>Dolph Ziggler &amp; Robert Roode to defend Raw Tag Team Titles against Heavy Machinery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Matches &amp; Segments:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Universal Championship: Seth Rollins (champ) vs. Rey Mysterio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seth Rollins is set to defend his Universal Championship against \u201cThe Fiend\u201d Bray Wyatt at Hell in a Cell in a HIAC match just six days from now. Last week on Raw, he took on his former tag team championship partner Braun Strowman in a non-title match. That ended when Wyatt interrupted and gave Strowman the mandible claw. He then taunted an obviously scared Rollins as he was sitting in the corner.<\/p>\n<p>Rollins\u2019 dance card is full as before we get to Sunday, he defends his Universal Championship tonight against Rey Mysterio. Rey won a fatal five-way elimination match last week to earn the title match. To date, unless Google and YouTube are lying to me, there has never been a one-on-one match between Rollins and Rey. Here\u2019s Rey in a WWE exclusive along with his son Dominick, as well as a tweet from Rollins praising his opponent:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rey Mysterio on why he didn&#039;t retire: Raw Exclusive, Sept. 23, 2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ALc9Hm2cejI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is a match I\u2019ve been looking forward to my entire life.

He was nine when Rey debuted with ECW and was turning 20 when he won the Royal Rumble and eventually the World Heavyweight Championship. Hopefully we don\u2019t get shenanigans with Wyatt as this match deserves a clean finish. As far as Rollins looking scared of Wyatt last week, I get it as it fits with what they\u2019re trying to do with the story, but it\u2019s still unbecoming of a babyface champion. I doubt Hogan, Savage, Austin, or Rock ever would have looked or screamed like Rollins did last week.<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4109962855\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>Brock Lesnar Returns to Raw<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two weeks ago, on Smackdown, Brock Lesnar challenged Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship. That match takes place in four days on the debut of Smackdown on FOX. Tonight however, Lesnar returns to his \u201cold home\u201d for lack of a better term as he pays a visit to Raw.<\/p>\n<p>Lesnar recently lost the Universal Championship to Seth Rollins at SummerSlam. His last visit to this building was the Raw after the Royal Rumble where he attacked Rollins following his Rumble victory. Lesnar was then the Universal Champion.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unknown what exactly Lesnar will be doing.

It\u2019s hard to say with whom, unless you think Braun Strowman is a possibility. Lesnar is one hurdle Strowman hasn\u2019t been able to leap. That\u2019s just a thought I had. I wouldn\u2019t put money on it. Drew McIntyre comes to mind as well if he returns. It could also be just to hype up the FOX debut on Smackdown as well as the match with Kofi. Putting Heyman and Lesnar on TV to do so is a smart move.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Miz TV: Guests Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MizTV returns to Raw tonight when WWE Hall of Famers Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair join the Miz for a special episode tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Back during Miz\u2019s first babyface run which was from the end of 2012-late 2013, WWE acknowledged Miz and Flair as friends. Miz began frequently using Flair\u2019s Figure Four finisher and continues to use it to this day. There\u2019s no real history between Miz and Hogan. When Miz announced this last week, boos were hear throughout the crowd. As we are well aware, Hogan was estranged from WWE from 2015-2018 for obscene racist remarks.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3140786360\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I don\u2019t mean to be blunt, but I couldn\u2019t care less about this segment.

As far as Hogan goes, besides the discomfort of seeing him on TV, there\u2019s nothing worthwhile he offers WWE programming at this stage of the game.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Alexa Bliss vs. Sasha Banks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last week on Raw, Sasha Banks defeated one half of the WWE Women\u2019s Tag Team Champions Nikki Cross as she got her to tap out to the Bank Statement.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, Sasha takes on the other half of the champs in Alexa Bliss. This will not be the first time they\u2019ve done battle, as they went at it over the Raw Women\u2019s Championship back in 2017. Sasha defeated Alexa for the title at SummerSlam but returned it the following night on Raw.

He took some heat over the summer for taunting Will Ospreay from New Japan Pro Wrestling. Nonetheless, Sasha challenges Becky for the Raw Women\u2019s Championship inside Hell in a Cell this coming Sunday. The Four Horsewomen have been going at it on social media, as was recapped by WWE Now:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Four Horsewomen are going OFF on social media: WWE Now\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HDQgYM_C40g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Frank\u2019s Analysis: There\u2019s not many talking points to this match, but a lot more to what\u2019s going on between the Horsewomen and Rollins and Sasha.

Styles during their match on the kickoff show. One night later, Cedric was pinned by A.J. a part of a six-man tag team match. Last week on Raw, A.J. tried to get involved in a match between his O.C. partners (Luke Gallows &amp; Karl Anderson) and the Viking Raider (Erik &amp; Ivar), but was ejected for his troubles. As he left the ring, Cedric attacked him from behind.<br \/>\nBy virtue of WWE\u2019s attack-a-champion-from-behind rule, Cedric earns himself a U.S. Championship match tonight against A.J.

Heavy Machinery has been winning squash matches as of late, most notably over former Raw Tag Team Champions the B-Team (Curtis Axel &amp; Bo Dallas) on Smackdown.<\/p>\n<p>Heavy Machinery recently challenged Daniel Bryan &amp; Rowan for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship but came up short at Stomping Grounds over the summer.
