Monday Night Raw tonight will not be live on USA Network but will air on a few hours tape delay as the WWE crew will be taping the show from Manchester, England.
The direction of the show had to be completely re-written as the focus is now on the WWE World Heavyweight title which was vacated last week after Seth Rollins tore his ACL, MCL, and meniscus during the first stop of the European tour in Dublin, Ireland.
The WWE.COM preview does not state that a tournament kicks off tonight and merely says that fans can expect more news on the tournament to determine the new champ on tonight’s broadcast however there are rumors that the tournament will kick off on Raw and continue on Smackdown tomorrow, also taped in Manchester.
