WWE Raw TV Preview 6/20

After the excitement over the conclusion to “Money in the Bank” on Sunday night, WWE follows up with immediate fall-out Monday night on Raw.

Phoenix will host Dean Ambrose as new WWE World Hvt. champion after he won the MITB ladder match, waited out the Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins title match, and cashed in on new WWE champion Seth Rollins to win the title for the first time.

WWE has five weeks until the next PPV, Battleground, making it interesting to see whether WWE waits until Battleground for the next title situation. Or, if WWE goes forward with title matches on TV with Reigns and Rollins both due title re-matches.

Outside of the WWE Title picture, WWE will have follow-up on A.J. Styles scoring a tainted victory over John Cena in their heavily hyped dream match at MITB.

Plus, U.S. champion Rusev and WWE tag champions New Day need new title challengers after retaining at MITB.

In the Women’s division, WWE is expected to follow up on Natalya turning on Becky Lynch. If that storyline goes on a separate track from Women’s champion Charlotte, then Charlotte will need a new title challenger.

To oversee these events, both Shane and Stephanie McMahon are advertised for Raw, which also means more build-up to the Brand Split/Draft in mid-July.

The full advertised roster includes Ambrose, Reigns, Rollins, Cena, Styles & The Club, Kevin Owens, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, and Chris Jericho.

The arena website in Phoenix is also advertising Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family (injured/off TV), Ryback (off TV), Dolph Ziggler, Charlotte, Becky, and Sasha Banks.
