WWE Monday Night Raw preview, August 19: Watch online

Here is everything you need to watch the August 19, 2019 edition of WWE “Monday Night Raw,” via an online stream.

Now that SummerSlam is fully behind us, it’s time to set our sights on the road ahead. And a huge announcement last week that will set the stage for an incredible Monday Night Raw this week — the WWE King of the Ring tournament returns!

Bret Hart. Steve Austin. Triple H. Booker T. Four of the biggest champions in WWE history, and also four men that have won the King of the Ring tournament. Last week, it was revealed that the legendary tournament would be returning, and it kicks off this week.

Eight Raw and eight SmackDown Live Superstars will make up the 16-man bracket. The tournament matches will take places each week on WWE television, with the finals being held on September 15 at Clash of Champions. Two matches from the red brand will get things started, as Cedric Alexander will face Sami Zayn and Cesaro will meet Samoa Joe in what should be a hard-hitting contest. The winners will move on in hopes of being crowned King of the Ring.

Since AJ Styles put the OC back together, he seems to think he’s in charge of the world. But after Braun Strowman went after Styles after his challenge of Seth Rollins, Styles issued a huge challenge to the “monster among men.” He even offered to put his United States Championship on the line, and we will see that match this Monday night. Can Styles back up his challenge, or will we see a giant champion get crowned?

Last week, Sasha Banks shocked the WWE Universe when she made her long-awaited return to the company. She hadn’t been seen since WrestleMania, and sure made up for lost time. She went after Natalya and and Becky Lynch, and even took a chair to the back of Lynch’s head. It’s probably not what Lynch expected when she warned the women’s division to “get me before I get you.” Will we see Banks this week, and where will she strike next?

Personally, the King of the Ring event should return as a full one-night event. Just like in the days when guys like Hart, Austin, and Triple H won. But as it stands, we’ll take what we can get. Speaking of major announcements, be on the lookout this week for a big one regarding NXT. It’s looking to be a huge week around the WWE Universe.
