WWE.com has released its official preview for this week’s “Monday Night Raw” with several matches already set. However, one match missing is Rich Swann vs. Drew Gulak for the #1 contendership to the Cruiserweight Title due to Swann’s arrest earlier Sunday. Here are the four top stories the preview is looking at.

Opinion: With “Royal Rumble 2018” so far away, “Monday Night Raw” still needs some special stuff to fill in the gap. Some of these things will do the trick, though I don’t think a big Braun Strowman vs. Kane match is going to do the trick. Roman Reigns facing various challengers will help though and that’s likely to be a featured attraction.
Which of these matches interests you the most? What will WWE do to fill in the gap left by Swann’s arrest? Let us know in the comments below.
