WWE announces change to Raw lineup
WWE has announced a change to the lineup for tonight’s episode of Raw.
A singles match between Matt Riddle and Chad Gable is now set for Raw tonight. It had originally been announced that the show would feature a tag team match with Riddle & Elias facing Alpha Academy (Gable & Otis).
A reason for the change wasn’t announced. WWE.com wrote:
Chad Gable and Otis have been a thorn in the side of Matt Riddle for many weeks and now The Original Bro will take on the leader of Alpha Academy.
Behind the scenes Riddle has been trying to form a band with his idol, Elias, but this week he will go at it alone against a tough competitor in Gable.

In recent weeks, Elias has been reluctant to form a band with Riddle. But after losing to Otis on Raw last Monday, Elias said during an interview on Raw Talk that it might be time for him and Riddle to collaborate.
Tonight’s Raw is being held at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Here’s what’s been announced for the show:
- United States Champion Seth Rollins defends against Finn Balor
- Matt Riddle vs. Chad Gable
- The Miz to address Dexter Lumis controversy on Miz TV
