The push toward Sunday Night's Main Event continues tonight as Monday Night Raw takes over the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Oba Femi and Bron Breakker are less than two weeks away from their match-up that will determine who truly is the future of WWE, and both men will be center ring when the latest edition of the Red Brand goes live on Netflix at a special start time.

This colossal clash of the titans of tomorrow was set up last week by Paul Heyman, almost as if he was offering Breakker one final opportunity to get back into his good graces. The Ruler and The Unpredictable Badass will make things official when they put pen to paper on their match contract later this evening.

It's more than fair to wonder what the future holds for The Bloodline after Solo Sikoa defied Roman Reigns' orders to rejoin the family by planting the Tribal Chief with a Samoan Spike last Monday night. LA Knight then put a cap on the evening by resetting Reigns back to factory settings with a BFT.

And while Roman Reigns has more than enough family drama to occupy his mind, he also has an upcoming World Heavyweight Championship defense that he needs to focus on.

The semifinals of the all-Luchador No. 1 Contender's Tournament will get underway tonight as Penta faces off against La Parka, and AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix takes on Dragon Lee. One of these four men will face Reigns for the title on September 14 in Mexico City, Mexico.

It's been over four months since Stephanie Vaquer last wrestled a match, but that streak will come to an end in Ottawa as La Primera looks to position herself for a shot at the Women's World Championship that she held heading into WrestleMania 42. Vaquer will take on Roxanne Perez in her big return match.

Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio are also being advertised for the show. Here's everything we currently know about tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw in Ottawa. Check back for updates as the card is always subject to change.

Roman Reigns has agreed to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against one of the world's best Luchadores on the September 14 edition of Monday Night Raw in Mexico City. AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio selected eight men to battle it out in a tournament for the right to face the Tribal Chief, and the semifinals get underway tonight with Penta taking on La Parka.

The other semifinal match-up in the World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Tournament will feature AAA Cruiserweight Champion Rey Fenix facing off against Dragon Lee. Fenix has been a busy man, with members of the AAA, NXT and SmackDown rosters coming for his title, but if he's able to pull out the win tonight, fans could very well witness an all-Lucha Bros. tournament final.

Stephanie Vaquer has not wrestled since her loss to Liv Morgan at WrestleMania 42. She was battling through a number of injuries earlier this year, but after taking several months off to rest, La Primera is in tip-top shape and ready to get back in the mix for the Women's World Championship. Her quest will officially get underway tonight when she goes one-on-one with Roxanne Perez.
