1) Commentary Team Change (But Only For One Night)
RAW this week featured a noticeable absence from the commentary booth. Booker T was not on the show. This was because of the Hurricane that is going on in the Houston area (where he lives). Booker did confirm that him and his family are safe, which is the most important thing.
He was replaced by Jerry ‘the King’ Lawler for the night:

2) A Dream Match Was Announced For ‘No Mercy’
Huge news broke prior to RAW even going on the air on Monday. No Mercy will not only feature a huge match between Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar, we will also be getting Roman Reigns vs John Cena.
Many people expected this to be saved for Wrestlemania or a bigger Pay-Per-View. It was made official on RAW this week and the No Mercy card is already stacked!
