WWE Raw goes live tonight from Boston, Massachusetts, and if the Triple H era has proven anything, it’s that no title is safe on any given week. Championship matches—and title changes—have become the norm, not the exception.
We saw that on SmackDown when Damian Priest and R-Truth captured the WWE Tag Team Championships. Priest’s reaction felt completely genuine, which left some fans wondering whether the win was a surprise. If so, that is a genuinely feel-good moment for Priest.
At least one more championship is on the line tonight.
Dominik Mysterio challenges Penta for the Intercontinental Championship in a rematch. The last time these two met, Mysterio was "cursed" by Danhausen. If that’s behind him, Mysterio could win—but this feels Finn Bálor will get involved and cost Mysterio the gold.

Will The World Tag Titles Be on the Line?
WWE had announced that The Usos would defend the World Tag Team Championships against Logan Paul and Austin Theory of The Vision.
As recently as 5:14 ET, their official Raw preview email stated so. However, within the past hour, they have updated the Raw preview page on their website to list the match as non-title, confirming Adam Pearce's Instagram post.
The changes indicate last-minute creative changes before Raw airs tonight.
Paul Heyman told Paul & Theory that championships mean leverage.
If Bron Breakker will be cleared in time for WrestleMania—as reports suggest—The Vision needs to regain momentum heading into the biggest show of the year.
A win tonight over The Usos could set up a title match at WrestleMania.
What Time is Raw Tonight?
Raw airs at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT and streams globally on Netflix.
