WWE 'Monday Night Raw' Preview 9/21/15: 'Night of Champions' Fallout, Kane's Return

WWE will present the September 21, 2015 episode of Monday Night Raw from the Laredo Energy Arena in Laredo, Texas, and the show will feature all the fallout from the Night of Champions pay-per-view on Sunday night that included Kane's return. We've got a full preview of the show right here, so let's dive into the details.

Seth Rollins pulled double duty last night and defended both the WWE United States Championship and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against John Cena and Sting, respectively. We'll work backwards though and start with the second of the two matches.

Despite a grueling match with Cena and a post-match Attitude Adjustment on the floor, Rollins more than held his own against Sting. After putting Sting through the announce table, the champion survived two Scorpion Death Lock attempts and countered into a small package to retain the belt. But Rollins' night didn't end there, as Sheamus bolted down to the ring, Brogue Kicked the champion, and tried to cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase. But before he could do so, Kane's music hit and the demon chokeslammed Rollins, who put Kane out of action several months ago. Kane also chokeslammed Sheamus for good measure before he buried Rollins with a Tombstone Piledriver.

Kane will likely come out tonight to explain his actions even though they require little explanation. He wants revenge on Rollins, and no one is going to stop him until the champion is in a heap on the ground. By The Authority's logic, Kane has probably somehow earned a title shot at Hell in a Cell even though he assaulted a weakened Rollins, so maybe that will be made official tonight. Expect Rollins to also gloat about defeating Sting as he looks ahead to taking out Kane.

In the first of Rollins' two matches, John Cena regained the United States Championship after yet another stellar match. Cena and Rollins have become great dance partners as of late with tremendous chemistry, and now Cena is a five-time U.S. champion. Will we see the return of the United States Championship Open Challenge tonight? And if so, who will be Cena's first opponent during his second reign in 2015?

We also learned during the broadcast last night about Brock Lesnar's Go to Hell tour in October. The Beast will battle The Big Show at Madison Square Garden on October 3, then he will be on Stone Cold Steve Austin's podcast, The Steve Austin Show, on Monday Night Raw on October 19, the week before Hell in a Cell. Then, to cap it off, Lesnar will battle Undertaker one more time at the pay-per-view on Octover 25!

It was a bit of an odd way to announce such a big match, but it's thrilling nonetheless. Will Paul Heyman advocate for his client tonight to hype the match far and wide?

Charlotte is the new Divas Champion after she finally ended Nikki Bella's record reign at 301 consecutive days. Logic would dictate that Nikki gets a rematch, maybe even tonight, but rumors have also been circulating of a Paige heel turn against her friend. Paige hasn't looked happy since she lost the Beat the Clock challenge to become No. 1 Contender a few weeks ago, and she looked like she was going through the motions last night during Charlotte's celebration. Will we see the setup for Paige vs. Charlotte tonight? Also, might Charlotte dispose of the Divas Championship and bring back the Women's Championship?

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