Monday Night RAW hits the airwaves tonight live from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland as the company hashes through the fallout of Money in the Bank and begins to build toward Battleground.
Rapper Machine Gun Kelly is set to host the episode while WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, NXT Champion Kevin Owens, United States Champion John Cena, "Mr. Money in the Bank" Sheamus, Randy Orton, Big Show and Dean Ambrose are advertised for the event.
Rollins walks in after accomplishing what he set out to do Sunday at Money in the Bank by defeating Ambrose in a Ladder Match with no outside help to retain the gold. Tonight, we'll discover what's next for The Architect and The Lunatic Fringe, who is an Ohio native.
CM Punk Pays Tribute To Dusty Rhodes
The WWE has also started to tease the possibility of Sheamus cashing in the briefcase for the first time after he won the MITB Ladder Match on Sunday night.
With Sheamus earning the contract, we'll see what's next for Neville, Orton, Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler and Kane, who all fell short of their goal to win the bout.
We do know what's next for Reigns, who was also in the contest, as Bray Wyatt attacked him during the show and the WWE announced that the two will collide in five weeks at Battleground.
Another major development will be the update on Cena after he defeated Owens on Sunday night, but was taken out by a vicious attack afterward.
There is also an interesting storyline developing between Intercontinental Champion Ryback, The Miz and The Big Show as all three seem headed for an encounter. The Miz is a Cleveland native, so that could play into things.
The WWE is teasing another development with R-Truth and King Barrett as Truth beat the 2015 King of the Ring in the pre-show in Columbus and the company is hyping R-Truth as the king.
There are new Tag Team Champions as the Prime Time Players overcame The New Day on Sunday and we will see what's next for both of those teams.
In the Divas division, Nikki Bella is still the Divas Champion and after she defeated Paige with some more Twin Magic, she'll likely be out for some vengeance.
With the Cleveland Cavaliers trailing the Golden State Warriors three-games-to-two in the NBA Finals, there will likely be a few references to that tonight.
In a commentary note, it is expected that Byron Saxton will call the show alongside Michael Cole and JBL as Booker T works on Tough Enough.
There is also likely another tribute planned for late Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes, who passed away on Thursday. The WWE tolled the bell 10 times in his honor before Money in the Bank and aired a video tribute to him, but more vignettes are likely to follow this week on RAW.
As the dust settles over Money in the Bank and the road to Battleground on July 19 begins, the WWE presents Monday Night RAW live this week from Cleveland.
