RESULTS

 Segment #1: As per usual, "The VIP Lounge" dissolves into chaos

Similar to last week's episode of Monday Night Raw, the show opened with "The VIP Lounge," hosted by MVP. Also similar to last week, the talk show didn't go so well. After asking each competitor (Asuka, Nia Jax, and Shayna Baszler)which skills they posses that were going to help them win the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match, and revealing that Nia Jax was his pick to win, things started getting a little dicey. Jax was literally kicked out of the ring by Asuka and Baszler. Luckily MVP was able to stop the brawl between "The Empress of Tomorrow" and "The Queen of Spades." He won't be there at Money in the Bank though.

Segment #2: AJ Styles returns to win the Last Chance Gauntlet Match

The Last Chance Gauntlet Match was many superstar's final shot to get into the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match. Bobby Lashley looked to have the match won, even though he started at number one. "The All Mighty" blew through Titus O'Neil, Akira Tozawa, and Shelton Benjamin. Lashley was getting a little too in to his beat-downs though, as he accidentally got himself disqualified against Humberto Carillo. Carillo then just barely outlasted Angel Garza and Austin Theory. A weakened Carillo was not enough to handle the returning AJ Styles, who quickly made the young man submit. Styles is looking to rebound with a Money in the Bank victory after his loss to The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36.

Segment #3: Newcomers get surprise win over Too Fly

Despite losing to Too Fly (Ricochet & Cedric Alexander) in previous weeks, Shane Thorne and Brendan Vink were determined to prove themselves. They did so with a victory over their newfound rivals tonight. Although Too Fly dominated most of the match, Thorne and Vink were able to use their power advantage to slow things down, and eventually wear down Ricochet and Alexander for the win.

Segment #4: The Viking Raiders defeat The Street Profits

The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) have new contenders for the Raw Tag Team Championships. The Viking Raiders (Erik & Ivar) utilize an aggressive and blunt fighting style, and despite The Street Profits' attempts to match their aggression, they just weren't able to. The Viking Raiders forced The Street Profits to bend to their will, hitting various hard strikes throughout the contest. Ford and Dawkins were able to rally back for a short time, but they couldn't stand the impact of The Viking Experience.

Segment #5: Liv Morgan attempts to take down "The Queen"

Liv Morgan views Charlotte Flair as just one of the reasons she was inspired to change everything about herself. After challenging "The Queen" to a match, Morgan went on the offensive quickly. However, Flair was able to reverse and then dominate most of the contest. Despite having the wherewithal to survive a powerbomb and Boston crab, Morgan was forced to tap out to the Figure-8.

Segment #6: Drew McIntyre looks strong going into Money in the Bank

"The Disciple" Murphy is looking to prove himself to his "Monday Night Messiah" Seth Rollins. He wanted to wear down Rollins' Money in the Bank opponent, the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, before their match at the Pay-Per-View. McIntyre did not take this lying down though. He brushed off Murphy's offense, eventually hitting the Claymore for the win. Rollins attacked Drew after the fact. Who will win at Money in the Bank?

Image
AJ Styles is once again on the blue brand! Michael Cole made the announcement during Styles' Intercontinental Championship Tournament match against Shinsuke Nakamura on last week's episode of SmackDown , saying that AJ is back on SmackDown full-time, being traded for a future Raw pick. This was done for kayfabe reasons. Being a Raw superstar, it wouldn't make much sense to have AJ win the IC Title Tournament, because of course it is a SmackDown championship. Do you think this means that Styles will win the tournament, and who do you think is getting traded to Raw? Let me know in the comments below! Credit for photo to World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.
