Alexa Bliss is set for action on Monday’s episode of Raw.
During a commercial that aired during SmackDown tonight, WWE announced that Bliss will face Raw Women’s Champion Asuka in a non-title match on Monday’s Raw. This will be the first time Bliss has wrestled since November.
Asuka also holds the Women’s Tag Team titles with Charlotte Flair.
The commercial that aired during SmackDown also advertised that Monday’s Raw will feature Randy Orton addressing Bliss’ fireball attack from this week. This week’s Raw ended with Bliss shooting a fireball into Orton’s face. Orton was facing Triple H in a fight in the main event of the show when the lights went out and Bliss replaced Triple H in the ring. Bliss then shot the fireball at Orton.
WWE announced a storyline update on Orton following the fireball attack:
WWE Digital has learned that Randy Orton suffered minor burns to the face following the fireball attack by Alexa Bliss on Raw.
The Legend Killer laid down a challenge for Triple H at the beginning of the night and was in a battle with The Game when Bliss emerged from the darkness.
Don’t miss Raw next Monday at 8/7 C on USA Network for the latest update on Orton’s condition.
Monday’s Raw will be the second-to-last episode of the show before the Royal Rumble.
