This week’s RAW started as The Miz and John Morrison will come every one to the Miz TV. He informed that his guests of the night would be all four participants from RAW of the Money in the Bank ladder match. He said that he is a Money in the Bank expert since he won the money in the bank twice and cashed it in twice successfully.
He claimed that his friend John Morrison would win the Money in the Bank ladder match. The former two times WWE Champion Drew McIntyre interfered and reminded me that he cashed in his second one in the bank on him. After that, he had been screwed a lot of times but he never stopped fighting. He made fun Miz and Morrison after that.

Ricochet interfered next. He reminded what you did to John Morrison last week and he said that it was just a little trailer what he would do at Money in the Bank. Matt Riddle came out next. He cut a cool promo on Money in the Bank.
AJ Styles and Omos came out as AJ said he was robbed of his Money in the Bank ladder match opportunity. He said since Orton was out Riddle should not have represented him last week. So it was him who deserved to be in the match. Riddle was sitting on the ladder whom Omos pushed down which hurt his injured feet. AJ attacked his feet again. Drew and Ricochet took everyone out of the ring including Omos.

Match 2 – Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Eva Marie and Doudrop defeated Nikki Cross, Alexa Bliss, Asuka and Naomi

Match 5 – Lucha House Party defeated Mace and T Bar
The match was mostly dominated by Mace T Bar. But the Lucha house party came out with the Clever victory at the end. T Bar was pinned by Lince Dorado with Schoolboy pin.
Match 6 – Riddle defeated AJ Styles
The match was good, however, this was a terrible look for AJ Styles. A former three times world champion is getting beaten by an injured man, this might have been the continuation of the burial of AJ Styles.
Next up is the continuation of the most boring feud of Monday Night RAW right now. Charlotte Flair was seen standing inside the ring who was said to be injured. She said that she enjoyed her feet last week and she might miss Money in the Bank. Rhea Ripley came out with a crutch as well and it was just to mock Charlotte. She claimed that play her games better than her. She exposed Charlotte and showed that she was not injured at all.
Match 7 – Jaxson Ryker and R Truth defeated Cedric Alexander and Elias
This match was more of a two on one handicap match as R Truth decided to go after the WWE 24/7 champion Akira Tozawa at the start of the match. Elias once again abandoned his partner and as a result Jaxson Ryker pinned Cedric with Black Hole Slam.
Match 8 – The New Day defeated MVP and WWE Champio Bobby Lashley
MVP returned to action after quite a long time but it was quite predictable that New Day would pick up the victory over him. Kofi pinned MVP to secure victory for his side. The match was an average one. The New Day stood tall as this week’s RAW went off air.
This week RAW was a little week then the previous two weeks. But it was good. There were some good matches but some unnecessary ones as well. AJ Styles losing to an injured Riddle was a terrible booking. The sudden downgrade of Mace and T Bar is not understood either. We give it 2.5 stars out of 5.
