If there’s a surefire sign of the neverending conveyer belt that is the WWE schedule, it’s the show after a premium live event where big things are already happening for the next PLE. That’s certainly the case for tonight’s episode of WWE Raw from Albany, New York, where along with fallout from Night of Champions, things will already be in motion for Money in the Bank.
Yes, that’s despite the fact that MITB is more than a month away, taking place on the next holiday weekend in the U.S. but also overseas in London. As has been the case in previous years, there will be qualifying matches to participate in both the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank Ladder matches, the first of which are taking place tonight.
There’s also a women’s tag team title match going down, and it’s big since four teams will be battling for the gold. Raquel Rodriguez is arguably the most motivated person in the bout, considering she and Liv Morgan held the titles until Liv’s injury forced them to be relinquished. Rodriguez has taken on Shotzi as her new partner, but they’ll have an uphill battle against Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville, and the Damage CTRL duo of Bayley and IYO SKY.
Plus, while the most interesting fallout from Night of Champions won’t hit until SmackDown (that’d be the Bloodline implosion), there’s going to be plenty to watch for on Raw as well. Seth Rollins will undoubtedly bring his big new shiny belt to the show, as he promised he would after defeating AJ Styles in Saudi Arabia — and maybe get his first challenger as well. And Cody Rhodes will attempt to scrape himself back up after a valiant but losing effort against Brock Lesnar in Jeddah.
It all plays out beginning at 8 p.m. ET on USA. Tune in then or join us back here on Wrestling Junkie for WWE Raw results and more as they happen.
