Tonight’s episode of Raw features two MITB Qualifying matches!
Tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw is set to air live from the Yeungling Center in Tampa, Florida. The episode will serve as the fallout show from the May 24 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. The show will also continue to build towards the upcoming Money in the Bank 2025, with more MITB Qualifying matches.
The promotion has announced multiple matches for the show, including two triple-threat qualifying matches for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. A colossal triple-threat match where the New Day will defend the World Tag Team title, while Rusev will battle Akira Tozawa.
Here are the top five storylines that you need to watch out for on the fallout show of WWE Raw in Tampa, Florida.
5. The Rusev problem
Since his return, Rusev has been terrorizing the Alpha Academy (Otis, Akira Toazawa & Maxinne Dupri). On the May 05 episode of Raw, Otis tried to go head-to-head with the Bulgarian behemoth but failed in doing so as Tozwa too fell prey to Rusev’s attack.
Likely recovering from the injury from last encounter, Tozwa is now set to Rusev tonight and is hell bent on teaching him a lesson.

4. World Tag Team Championship
Due to their interference in the number one contenders’ match, WWE World Tag Team Champions The New Day (Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston) are now set to defend the title in a triple-threat match against American Made (Julius & Brutus Creed) and War Raiders (Erik & Ivar).
It will be interesting to see how the triple threat match plays out, especially with the tensions between the New Day and the War Raiders.
3. The Judgment Day
The recent power struggle in the Judgment Day took centre stage last week when Finn Balor introduced Roxanne Perez to the faction in the absence of Liv Morgan, while Dominik Mysterio and Raquel Rodriguez objected to it, Balor reiterated that she is just here to help Morgan and Rodriguez and isn’t joining the faction. With reports suggesting Liv Morgan’s return, it will be intriguing to see how the storyline unfolds.

2. Jey Uso – Gunther
World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso defeated Logan Paul while thwarting John Cena’s attack with the help of Cody Rhodes at SNME.
However, Jey’s problem is far from over as his next title defense is already lined up, Gunther is set to challenge the Champion on the June 9th episode of Raw in Phoenix, Arizona, and will likely put Jey on notice tonight as he prepares to recapture the title.
1. Tsunami
Bronson Reed made his terrifying return during the tag team match where CM Punk and Sami Zayn battled Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. Reed attacked Punk, aiding Breakker, who took out Zayn to pick up the win. The return and subsequent alignment with Rollins‘ faction has made things interesting, and it might create even more problems for Punk and Zayn moving forward.
Who should join CM Punk and Sami Zayn as the third member to counter Seth Rollins’ faction? How would Liv Morgan react to Finn Balor’s antics? Share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section.
