The Jan. 13, 2014 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw will emanate live from the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island. The 2014 Royal Rumble is just two weeks away, and WWE will likely ramp up the build to the big event on tonight's show.

So far, we know that John Cena will challenge Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the pay-per-view. Orton said on Friday Night Smackdown that he plans to give the Authority a piece of his mind tonight as he is not happy with the rematch. Will Orton and Triple H divide yet again?

We also know that the 30-man Royal Rumble match will take place, but the only confirmed participants so far are Alberto Del Rio and the returning Dave Bautista. Dozens of other Superstars will soon make their way into the Rumble match, and some surprises and returning favorites are usually a safe bet. But what about Daniel Bryan? Bray Wyatt? The Shield? CM Punk? Will any or all of them be one of the 30 in the match? Perhaps we will get some confirmation tonight.

And speaking of Daniel Bryan, his entry into the Wyatt Family seems to be complete, as he helped beat down the Usos on Smackdown. He and Bray Wyatt will team to face The Usos tonight, but where does Bryan go from here? Will the fans still cheer him, or is this a true heel turn for him? How will his connections to the Wyatts affect him at Royal Rumble?

Finally, Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar accepted Big Show's challenge for a one-on-one match at the pay-per-view after The Beast beat down Mark Henry twice. Big Show said on Smackdown that he had seen enough and wanted to put a stop to Lesnar. Will the two come face-to-face tonight?

As always, check back with MStars immediately after the show for a complete recap of all the action. But for now, let us know in the comments below what you expect from tonight's edition of Monday Night Raw.
