January 3, 2022 0 By Tim Jarrell

WWE adds big matches to RAW.

Tonight is the first Monday Night RAW of 2022 and we already know that WWE Champion Brock Lesnar will be kicking off the show. Now WWE has announced three matches taking place tonight.

First off, WWE has announced that after the match not taking place last week, AJ Styles will battle Omos.

In the wake of accusations by The Miz on “Miz TV” that Omos had issues with his tag team partner AJ Styles, the powerful tandem failed to defeat the Mysterios after Omos refused to tag in and instead turned away from Styles.

As a result, things finally came to a head with Styles calling his Own Personal Colossus a “piece of trash” and Omos responding to The Phenomenal One’s attack by hoisting Styles into the air and hurling him eight feet down to the canvas.

Omos then made it clear that the next time Styles saw him, it would be in a match against him. After a one week hiatus, that match has been made official and will happen tonight at 8/7 C on USA!

Also, the United States Championship will be on the line when once again, Damien Priest defends against Dolph Ziggler. Last week Ziggler defeated Priest with the title on the line but by disqualification. since the match ended via DQ, the title stayed with Priest.

Dolph Ziggler is technically 2-0 against United States Champion Damian Priest but has still walked away from both matches without the title thanks to the “Damian side” of Priest.

Ziggler and his Dirty Dawgs partner Robert Roode have pushed the buttons of the champion to send Priest into a blind rage, resulting in a count-out and a disqualification. Unfortunately for The Archer of Infamy, he’ll have to keep that darker side in check tonight in his rematch with The Showoff as any disqualification or count-out will result in Priest losing the title.

Can Priest keep calm under pressure, or will The Dirty Dawgs provoke the champion into unleashing his “Damian side” and losing his United States Title?

Finally, the fatal-four-way we were supposed to get at WWE Day 1 will be happening tonight. We will see Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Big E, and Kevin Owens battle with the winner getting a shot at Brock Lesnar and the WWE Championship.

Big E, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Kevin Owens and Bobby Lashley will get their Fatal 4-Way Match originally slated for WWE Day 1, only this time the winner will earn the right to challenge newly crowned WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble.

After weeks of taunts and attacks, the four Superstars were set to collide for the WWE Championship at Day 1 until The Beast was added to the match hours before the event.

Big E, Rollins, Owens and Lashley could not keep Lesnar down as he survived the carnage and slipped out of The All Mighty’s Hurt Lock to deliver a pair of F-5’s to Lashley and Big E on his way to becoming a six-time WWE Champion.

With each Superstar still reeling from a chaotic Fatal 5-Way this past Saturday, who will outlast the others and earn a match with Lesnar at Royal Rumble?

A WWE Championship opportunity is on the line when @WWEBigE, @WWERollins, @FightOwensFight and @fightbobby collide in a #Fatal4Way Match TONIGHT on #WWERaw https://t.co/E2PmfwGhXW pic.twitter.com/edRbX2KETL
