The October 12, 2015 episode of WWE's Monday Night Raw will broadcast live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago and will continue to build toward the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event in two weeks. We've got a full preview for you right here, so let's get right to the good stuff.

Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker will headline the show on Sunday, October 25 in the third and apparently final match of this series (and their careers) when they both step inside the diabolical steel structure. Last week, Paul Heyman stood in the ring and touted the accomplishments of his client while the Beast stood behind him and smiled and stared at the camera. Heyman proclaimed that Lesnar would bury the Undertaker for good at Hell in a Cell because that's what his client does. The Big Show then came out, Lesnar dropped him in about 30 seconds, and that was that.

We haven't heard from Lesnar or Heyman since, and we haven't heard from or seen the Undertaker since SummerSlam. With only two weeks left until their showdown inside the cell, WWE has some work to do to give this match the build it deserves. If this is truly the last time these two titans will ever clash, then why doesn't it feel significant? The lead up to SummerSlam featured one of the most memorable pull apart brawls we've seen in years, yet the match two months later just doesn't have the same weight. Hopefully, WWE starts to fix that tonight.

Last week's episode of Raw ended with The New Day's turn to a more vicious heel team rather than the fun loving and hilarious group that fans have been cheering for months now. They still have some humor about them, but that humor now quickly turns to a dark and dangerous side. Last week, The New Day managed to take out John Cena, The Dudley Boyz and Dolph Ziggler.

So what could Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E have in store for us tonight? If they are fully embroiled in a feud with all four of these men, then where do they go? Cena is reportedly taking time off soon, which means he could lose the United States Championship in his weekly Open Challenge sooner rather than later. But if and when that does happen, it needs to be somebody big, a monumental upset of some kind. Do any of the New Day members fit the bill? Alternatively, are they better served feuding with The Dudley Boyz ad nauseam?

There is still a lot happening in the women's division, but at the same time there's not much happening in the women's division. We're still getting tag team matches every single week, which is not serving the wonderful talents inside the ring. There's so much potential here to break apart these teams and create meaningful feuds, and WWE is thankfully starting to move in that direction with Paige.

There were rumors that Paige is in the doghouse, but it's unclear how true those rumors are. Yes, she lost a match to Natalya to seemingly end their feud before it even began, but odd booking like that in WWE is nothing new. We'll have to see if Paige is able to continue her quest to bring about true change in the Divas Revolution.

And, lest we forget, Charlotte defends that Divas Championship against Nikki Bella in two weeks.
