The February 23, 2015 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw will emanate live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville at 8 p.m. Eastern and will feature all the fallout from the Fast Lane pay-per-view on Sunday.

Roman Reigns defeated Daniel Bryan in the main event of that match with a hellacious spear as Bryan went for the second running knee of the matchup. The main event of WrestleMania 31 is now set, as Reigns will take on Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in five weeks. After the bell last night, Bryan told Reigns "You better kick his ass" and the two men shook hands.

How will both Reigns and Bryan react tonight to last night's main event? Reigns can now turn his attention squarely toward Brock Lesnar and Mania, but will he have to deal with any other outside factors. Could The Authority get involved? More importantly, how will the crowd react to Reigns? Will he receive cheers now that he has shown he can compete in a lengthy main event match, or will significant portions of the crowd still boo him?

As for Bryan, where does the beloved wrestler go from here? His dream to main event Mania once again and fight Brock Lesnar is now gone barring some unforeseen miraculous intervention, so what does he do now? Rumors have said Bryan could face either Dolph Ziggler or a returning Sheamus at WrestleMania, so could we see the set up for that match tonight?

Triple H and Sting had their face-to-face confrontation last night in which Hunter did all the talking. Triple H tried everything he could to get Sting to just walk away from WWE and never look back, but Sting simply pulled out his bat and held it to Hunter's throat. He silently pointed at the WrestleMania 31 sign to indicate he wants a match with The Game, and he got his wish. He even provided the exclamation point by planting HHH with the Scorpion Death Drop.

How will The Game hype the match tonight? A long promo seems to be the way to go, but will Sting actually show up in the flesh? Or will he just play silent mind games with Hunter for the next month?

John Cena technically lost by submission to Rusev last night thanks to some timely interference from Lana, which allowed Rusev to low blow Cena, kick him in the head, and lock in the Accolade a second time on the unconscious leader of the Cenation. A rematch between the two at WrestleMania 31 seems inevitable, so perhaps we'll see the start of that tonight.

Randy Orton returned last night to attack Seth Rollins and The Authority after they defeated Ziggler, Ryback, and Erick Rowan. Orton has been out of action since November while he filmed a movie, but he is back now to seemingly set up a match with Rollins at Mania. Mr. Money in the Bank practically fled to Mexico last night after Orton appeared. Will The Viper continue to stalk Rollins tonight, or will he come right out and challenge him?

As always, check back with MStars immediately after the show for a full recap of all the action. But for now, let us know your thoughts, opinions, guesses, and predictions for tonight's show in the comments section.
