WWE Hall of Famer and native Pittsburgh son Kurt Angle will be making an appearance on "WWE Raw" tonight. While we don't know what Angle's role will be, the former "Raw" General Manager will be ready to receive a rapturous reception from his hometown fans. Meanwhile, the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos and honorary Bloodline member Sami Zayn will be making their way over from "SmackDown" — again, their roles on the show have not been specified, but they will likely be in town to further promote the huge WWE Undisputed Universal Championship clash between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre this Saturday, as well as Reigns' upcoming two-year championship celebration this Friday on "WWE SmackDown."

In addition to those appearances, the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship tournament will conclude, with the finals match being contested between the teams of Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah and Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. The tournament hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for the organization, with Zoey Stark and Nikkita Lyons being ruled out via injury and replacement Gigi Dolin of Toxic Attraction succumbing to the same fate. Nevertheless, new champions will be crowned in Pittsburgh tonight. Lastly, after recent torment from The Miz and Ciampa, WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley will finally get his hands on The A-Lister in a one-on-one match.
