WWE Monday Night RAW Live Results: Who Will AJ Styles and Seth Rollins Feud With First?

Monday Night RAW will begin to take shape for the rest of the year a week after the 2019 Superstar Shake-Up.

NXT call ups like Lacey Evans, The Viking Experience and Ricochet can officially call RAW their new home, but how will they and SmackDown Live imports - The Miz, Naomi and AJ Styles - make their presence known on Monday nights?

Following his win last week with Roman Reigns and AJ Styles, Universal Champion Seth Rollins will look to begin a - hopefully - long reign this week. But with Brock Lesnar in the rearview mirror, who will step up to face Rollins for the top title? There's plenty of potential opponents, like Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre, so it'll be interesting to see Seth's first program after WrestleMania.

Over in the women's division, Lacey Evans made her presence known two weeks in a row by challenging Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship. After defeating Natalya to become number one contender, how will the "Sassy Southern Belle" approach "The Man"?

The Miz may have been shipped from SmackDown Live but he still has a lot of baggage on the blue brand, and its name is Shane McMahon. Miz appeared on RAW last week attacking the SD Live commissioner to open the night. Does this mean the two will continue to feud from different brands? Following his loss at WrestleMania, Miz will surely want to even the odds sooner rather than later.

For weeks you've may have noticed those haunting vignettes that feature buzzard puppets and creepy dolls. WWE.com is teasing that the WWE Universe may finally learn more tonight about what is actually going on.

It's a new era for Monday Night RAW and it begins tonight. Here's everything that happened on the April 22 episode of RAW.
