What is the main event?

One of wrestling's most formidable trios, The Shield, reunited on Raw this month to great fanfare. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are back together, three years after Rollins betrayed his brothers in the summer of 2014. Now the Hounds of Justice return to the pay-per-view where they made their debut in 2012, destroying Team Hell No and Ryback, to face not three or even four but five opponents! Standing in their way is Intercontinental Champion The Miz, ex-Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Sheamus and the monstrous duo of Braun Strowman and Kane, in a huge 5-on-3 handicap Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.

What about the women's title?

Mickie James is gunning for her seventh world title in WWE when she challenges Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss. Bliss has mocked James' age and branded her an "old lady", but the veteran still has what it takes to hang with the very best in the ring.

Will there be a tag team title match?

Yes, with a British flavour! After months feuding with The Brian Kendrick, Manchester's Jack Gallagher suddenly helped his rival attack Cedric Alexander. A few headbutts from 'The Extraordinary Gentleman' have cemented his turn and now Cedric will attempt to fight back with the help of fellow 205 Live star Rich Swann.

What are the other key matches on the card?

The biggest match besides the main event is undoubtedly the main roster debut of Asuka - the former undefeated, 510-day reigning NXT Women's Champion from Japan. She will face Australian upstart Emma, who should prepare for one hell of a beating!

Enzo Amore ended Newcastle's Neville's lengthy reign as WWE Cruiserweight Champion, after cheating to win and infuriating the rest of the 205 Live roster. Neville's annoyance was seemingly heartfelt as he has reportedly walked out on WWE. Division newcomer Kalisto then captured the belt from Amore, so now Enzo will get his rematch.

Meanwhile, a truly bizarre contest will see Finn Bálor's alter-ego 'The Demon' clash with Bray Wyatt's second persona, 'Sister Abigail'. Quite what to expect here is anyone's guess.

Are there likely to be any surprise appearances?

Samoa Joe has been missing from TV since August after suffering a knee injury. He is reportedly ready to make a return and what better way to do so than to interfere in the main event and spark a new feud?
