The December 15, 2014 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw will emanate live from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit at 8 p.m. Eastern and will feature all the fallout from the TLC pay-per-view on Sunday.

John Cena defeated Seth Rollins in a Tables Match on Sunday thanks to some help from Roman Reigns, which means the 15-time champion gets another shot at Brock Lesnar and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble in six weeks. Lesnar has been absent from WWE television since late September, but will the build toward Lesnar-Cena IV start tonight? If so, will Lesnar be there, or will Paul Heyman do all the talking on behalf of his client?

Bray Wyatt got a fortuitous win over Dean Ambrose in the main event of TLC when the Lunatic Fringe went to smash the Eater of Worlds in the head with a production monitor, only for the screen to explode in his face, which allowed Wyatt to nail him with Sister Abigail for the victory. With one victory apiece, it's unlikely the feud between these two is finished. Will they square off one more time at Royal Rumble? If so, what would the stipulation be? Perhaps we will find out tonight.

Chris Jericho is also confirmed to be on Monday Night Raw as the guest General Manager for the night. GMs have had the power to create matches for pay-per-views as well as Raw, so we will have to see if Y2J decides to wield his power to book a match or two at the Royal Rumble.

Roman Reigns returned last night to stop Big Show from interfering in the Cena vs. Rollins match and delivered a Superman Punch to his former Shield brother for good measure. Will either Show or Rollins feud with Reigns now, or will they set their sights elsewhere? Reigns also declared his intention to enter the Royal Rumble and vowed to do even more damage than he did last year, when he broke the record for eliminations with 12.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Luke Harper in a ladder match last night to regain the Intercontinental Championship. The Show Off is now a four-time champion, but where does he go from here? WWE has booked him quite strongly for the last month, which has been a welcome sight for fans. Will he defend the belt again against Harper, or will a new challenger rise up for Ziggler to face? Will he enter the Royal Rumble match?

Many fans expected Randy Orton to return during TLC last night, but Roman Reigns returned instead to a solid crowd reaction. Could The Viper make his comeback tonight in the buildup to Royal Rumble? He still has unfinished business with Seth Rollins, who Curb Stomped him on the steel stairs and took him out of commission for several weeks. Keep your eyes peeled for an Orton return.

Rusev also defeated Jack Swagger on Sunday night to retain the United States Championship. Will another victim line up to challenge him, or will Swagger continue his ill-fated quest to hand Rusev his first loss?

As always, check back with MStars immediately after the show for a full recap of all the action. But for now, let us know your thoughts, guesses, opinions, and predictions for tonight's show in the comments section.
