Two members of Raw’s Survivor Series men’s team are set to face off tonight.

WWE has announced that Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor will take place on Raw tonight. At Survivor Series this Sunday, Rollins, Balor, Kevin Owens, Rey Mysterio & Bobby Lashley will face SmackDown’s Drew McIntyre, Jeff Hardy, Xavier Woods, Baron Corbin, and a partner to be announced.

Rollins defeated Owens by countout in the main event of last week’s Raw. Big E was at ringside for the match, and Owens couldn’t get past him in time to beat the count after fighting with Rollins on the outside. Following the match, Owens snapped and attacked Big E.

Rollins is the number one contender to Big E’s WWE Championship. WWE hasn’t revealed when he’ll be getting his title shot.

Balor defeated Chad Gable on Raw two weeks ago. Balor wasn’t on last week’s Raw due to being on WWE’s United Kingdom house show tour. Balor was held off one show of the tour as an injury precaution, but he returned to action the next night.

Big E responding to Owens’ attack from last Monday is also set for tonight’s Raw. The show is being held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
