The WWE World Heavyweight title will be up for grabs tonight live on Monday Night Raw as champion Seth Rollins will defend against an unlikely challenger: Jinder Mahal.
Mahal became the talk of the week last week after AEW President Tony Khan threw a fit on X suggesting double standards after fans voiced frustration that Hook was getting a title shot against Samoa Joe while “no one” complained that Mahal, who has not won a match in over a year, is getting a title shot.
Other matches set for tonight’s show include The Miz and R-Truth vs Finn Balor and Damien Priest, and Dom Mysterio and JD McDonagh vs Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano.
Plus, the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental champion Gunther will return on the show after a few weeks out to enjoy fatherhood.
This is the last week that Raw will face Monday Night Football as competition until September 2024.
