Monday Night Raw Preview 2/3/14: How will WWE handle the first Raw since CM Punk quit?

The Feb. 3, 2014 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw will emanate live from the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska. This will be the first Raw since news broke that CM Punk has quit the company.

Punk's quitting is easily the biggest story going into tonight's episode, but the question remains how WWE intends to handle the situation. The company was reportedly not happy that the news got out because they wanted to handle the matter internally, but the cat is well out of the bag now. When Stone Cold Steve Austin walked out more than 10 years ago, the company turned it into a storyline and aired their dirty laundry on television. Will they do the same with Punk tonight, or will they not address his absence at all?

The Daniel Bryan saga also continues to unfold as fans have openly revolted against the current trajectory for Bryan. He is in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at Elimination Chamber, along with Randy Orton, John Cena, Sheamus, Antonio Cesaro and Christian. Some reports claim Bryan will win the belt in the chamber, while other say he will be in a triple threat match with Orton and Batista at WrestleMania 30. We'll see if WWE begins laying the groundwork for either of those options tonight.

Brock Lesnar is also still in the mix, though his role is less clear. He reportedly will not fight at Elimination Chamber, so how does WWE intend to use him until WrestleMania? Will he continue to attack people or not appear at all?

As always, check back with MStars immediately after the show for a full recap of all the action.
