WWE has announced the opening slate of Money in the Bank qualifiers alongside a Women’s World Championship defense for next week’s Monday Night Raw.
WWE’s road to Money in the Bank officially begins next week, with the promotion confirming that both the Men’s and Women’s Money in the Bank qualifying matches will kick off on the September 7 edition of Monday Night Raw, along with a Women’s World Championship defense.
This Monday’s WWE Raw was taped at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, and delivered a stacked go-home show built around the World Heavyweight Championship’s number one contender’s tournament. The Usos were ambushed by Royce Keys and OTM before the show even got underway, drawing out a furious Jacob Fatu, who chased the attackers off with a steel pipe.
Elsewhere, Raquel Rodriguez retained her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Sol Ruca with an assist from Lyra Valkyria, while Dragon Lee defeated Ethan Page to earn a shot at Chad Gable’s Intercontinental Championship. In the main event, Penta defeated his brother Rey Fenix in a hard-hitting finals bout to win the World Heavyweight Championship’s number one contender’s tournament, setting up a title clash with Roman Reigns.
