WWE will present the November 2, 2015 episode of Monday Night Raw from the Pepsi Center in Denver and will continue to build toward the Survivor Series pay-per-view on Sunday, November 22, where it seems Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are set to collide. We've got a full preview for you, so let's get to it.

Last week, Roman Reigns took a major step into the spotlight when he became the No. 1 Contender to Seth Rollins' WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The entire three-hour show last week was a tight, cohesive episode that began with The Authority blustering that Rollins has beaten everyone there is to beat in WWE, so now someone on the roster needs to earn the privilege to step in the ring with the champion.

Enter Reigns, who laughed at the entire situation and said he would prove his worth in the ring. He did just that by beating Kofi Kingston in a qualifying match and then besting WWE Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens, WWE United States Champion Alberto Del Rio, and Dolph Ziggler to become the No. 1 Contender. After that, he walked right over to Rollins at the announce table, glanced at the title belt, stared down his former friend, and walked away with swagger as if to say "I'll take that from you in the ring."

With John Cena out of action for the time being, someone needs to take up the mantle and be the top dog for WWE. And as much as some fans want to complain about it, Reigns is the right guy for the job. He has improved by leaps and bounds both in the ring and on the microphone since the debacle that was the Road to WrestleMania earlier this year. A feud with Rollins is a moneymaker no matter what, and WWE can use this opportunity to make Reigns a figure for whom fans want to cheer.

It's a common formula in wrestling, but fans love to root for a babyface who keeps getting screwed out of the title. Then, once he finally does win, the victory is even sweeter. That's a harder sell with Reigns because he's big and strong and clearly the next golden boy, but that doesn't mean the story can't work. If Reigns starts on the path to the title now and keeps coming up just short, then fans would start to rally to him by the time Mania rolls around.

Elsewhere, Bray Wyatt cut an excellent promo last week that added more momentum to his storyline with The Undertaker. The Eater of Worlds basically admitted that he has been coming up short in his quests recently, so he needed to do something to get back on track. And what better way to do that than by going after the biggest dog in the yard, the legendary supernatural figure who paved the way for Wyatt's ascension? Kane then came out to avenge his brother, and Wyatt kidnapped him for his trouble.

Undertaker's latest run has been fascinating to watch, because it looks like his final retirement run is a greatest hits tour of everything that has made him popular. Hell in a Cell match? Check. Brothers of Destruction reunion? Check. American Bad Ass comeback? Not yet.

But it certainly looks like we are building to a traditional Survivor Series match of Team Undertaker vs. Team Wyatt, which would be amazing. Our preliminary guess is Taker, Kane, Dean Ambrose, and a fourth player to be named later against Bray, Braun Strowman, Luke Harper, and Erick Rowan. We're hyped already.

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 predictions and guesses for tonight's episode in the comments section below.
