At Crown Jewel, the main event will be Team Hogan against Team Flair and on Monday Night two representatives will face off. Rusev will take on Randy Orton on RAW to build some momentum heading into Saudi Arabia. Orton is coming off a victory over Ali on Sunday while Rusev had his wife Lana taken by Bobby Lashley.

Can Rusev put his marital problems behind him to defeat Orton or will The Viper strike?

The Viking Raiders are on a winning streak and that has given them a shot at Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler, the current RAW Tag Team Champions. While Erik and Ivar head into RAW to take on the champs in a non-title match, Roode and Ziggler want to continue their own winning streak atop the tag team division.

Asuka and Kairi Sane, The Kabuki Warriors, are the new Women's Tag Team Champions. Now that they are the champs, they can float between brands defending it against any team that's brave enough to face them. Will Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross demand a rematch or will a new team step up?

Here's everything that happened on the October 7 episode of Monday Night RAW.
