It's the Monday Night RAW after this year's Clash of Champions and while there weren't as many title changes as a show with 10 championship matches would suggest, but the pay-per-view on Sunday is building towards Hell in a Cell.

Sunday's show ended with The Fiend attacking Universal Champion Seth Rollins and that likely means Bray Wyatt will take on "The Architect" at the October pay-per-view. But how will Rollins respond to the attack? Rollins and Wyatt may have a past, but this is a very different Bray and it's unclear if the Universal Champion is ready.

The 2019 King of the Ring tournament will see the finals on tonight's Monday Night RAW as Baron Corbin takes on the underdog, Chad Gable. Will RAW see the start of the King Corbin era or will Gable prove that he's more than his height?

In the women's division, Becky Lynch left Clash of Champions as the RAW Women's Champion after being disqualified. Lynch inadvertently hit the referee with a steel chair while trying to strike Sasha Banks. "The Boss" will certainly want a rematch for the title as she didn't lose, and with Hell in a Cell taking place in less than a month tonight will sow the seeds for a rematch.

And finally, we have Cedric Alexander getting destroyed by AJ Styles on the Clash of Champions kickoff show. While Alexander may have failed to capture the US Championship, The OC decided to beat down the young upstart after the match. What will be next for the former Cruiserweight Champion?

Here's everything that happened on the September 16 episode of Monday Night RAW.
