WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce has announced two high-stakes matches for tonight's edition of the red brand. The show is set to air live from PHX Arena in Phoenix.

In a first-round Fatal Four-Way Match for the Queen of the Ring Tournament, Rhea Ripley will lock horns with long-time rival Liv Morgan, Kairi Sane, and RAW's latest acquisition, Roxanne Perez.
In another Fatal Four-Way qualifying match, WWE Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio will face arch-rival Penta, Bron Breakker, and Sami Zayn for an opportunity to advance to the next round of The King of the Ring Tournament.
"Preparations are underway right now in the PHX Arena for Monday Night Raw tonight, where we kick off the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments with two Fatal Four-Way Matches. On the women's side, Liv Morgan takes on Kairi Sane, Roxanne Perez, and Rhea Ripley. On the men's side, 'Dirty' Dominik Mysterio takes on Sami Zayn, Bron Breaker, and Penta," he said.
