WWE Raw continued to come up with lacklustre episodes. There was no exception even on this week’s episode from Albany, New York.
The officials arranged several matches including a MITB qualifier those failed to garner attraction. Stephanie McMahon returned to the show which did no wonder, as well.
So, the authorities already started to build up the next episode of WWE Raw. Two big matches are now official to take place on next week’s show. One of them will be for the Intercontinental Championship. The other one will be the last qualifying match for the women’s division MITB ladder match.
Seth Rollins made the IC title prestigious by defending it on a weekly basis. He will be back to defend it on the flagship show. It will not be any such open challenge. The Modern-day Maharaja will wait to take on him, this time. Rollins vs Mahal on WWE Raw will take place for the Intercontinental Championship after what transpired in the bygone episode.

Jinder Mahal and Roman Reigns are in the middle of a feud, currently. They have ripped each other apart in a tag team match. But, it was Rollins who saved the day for Reigns.
Mahal and Owens capitalised by virtue of the number-games being on their side. The Architect ran down to rescue his former Shield-buddy.
The Champion requested for this match to happen after this. He noted on Twitter that the open challenge would not happen, next week. Jinder Mahal is his specific need for this particular occasion. We will see if the modern-day Maharaja can match up against the Kingslayer.

Another huge match will take place when WWE Raw comes live from the Richmond Coliseum. There’s one final spot left in the women’s MITB ladder match.
Seven women will get the opportunity to compete in it. All of them will get a ‘second chance’ via this contest.
It is going to be a seven-way match amongst Sasha Banks, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan, Mickie James, Bayley and Dana Brooke.
It is a Gauntlet Match among them which means they are set to make history. Ember Moon, Charlotte, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Naomi, Lana, and Natalya secured the other seven spots in the MITB match.
