Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte to become the WWE Raw Woman’s Champion for the second time. Her reign begins tonight on Raw, but Charlotte looms with a rematch.

WWE.com on the situation:
Although Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte this past Monday night to become a two-time Raw Women’s Champion, one has to assume that Team Red’s resident “Queen” won’t take her loss lying down. What might the newly former titleholder have in store for The Boss?

The Women’s Division has the top spot this week with continued coveraged of the feud between Sasha and Charlotte. The two are set for another rematch for Hell in a Cell 2016 and their feud continues to heat up. The next chapter in their saga unfolds tonight on Raw.

The Universal Championship picture is centered around Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins and their relationship with Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon. Rollins is slowly but surely becoming a full fledged babyface, especially as he drops the pining for the Authority from his act. Owens has been the chosen one and that is expected to continue as well. The story of these two men will weave throughout Raw as the main story on the mens’s side

Roman Reigns captured the United States championship from Rusev, but that has just added fire to their feud. They are set to do battle in Hell in a Cell in less than 3 weeks, so their feud will just continue to heat up. What’s next for these two men will happen tonight on Raw.

The Tag Team scene has the New Day on top as WWE Raw Tag Team Champions, and they are dealing with two challenging teams. One is the ongoing challenge from Gallows & Anderson, and in the last few weeks the makeshift team of Cesaro and Sheamus has entered the picture. Will there be a three way dance in the future?

There could be new jobbers for Braun Strowman on Raw this week, as WWE.com is teasing another big matchup. As Luke Harper rejoined the Wyatts at No Mercy, Strowman is now truly on his own on Raw.

All this plus Chris Jericho, Sami Zayn, Nia Jax and more!

Here is the WWE Quick Hits Preview:

  1. When will Charlotte get her rematch? Charlotte still considers herself “Queen” of Team Red’s Women’s division, and is no doubt devising a strategy to reclaim its richest prize.
  2. Is “The Kevin Owens Show” facing cancellation at the hands of Seth Rollins? Will Owens be driven to accept Rollins’ challenge to a WWE Universal Championship Match? And, if Rollins gets what he wants, will he risk further injury at the hands of one of Raw’s most ruthless Superstars?
  3. How will Reigns and Rusev prepare for Hell? Carnage awaits as both of these warring Superstars get ready for what’s to come.
  4. Will Braun Strowman’s demand for competition be met? Who will The Hardcore Legend choose to battle this unstoppable behemoth?
  5. Has Brian Kendrick earned a WWE Cruiserweight Title opportunity? Will Kendrick challenge Perkins once again in the near future?
