5 big developments on RAW heading into WWE Money in the Bank 2016
The longest running weekly episode in television history, Monday Night RAW, successfully completed 1200 episodes this week. The show has been entertaining the WWE universe for the past 23 years and will continue to quench the thirst of the WWE fans for decades to come.
This week’s episode of RAW has some astounding developments heading into the Money in the Bank PPV as the match card for this PPV is hugely dependent on the first RAW after the preceding PPV in the chronology, which this time, was Extreme Rules.
The stage is set for the upcoming PPV with a few announcements and revelations. As part of this slideshow, let us have a look at 5 landmark developments on RAW this week that could have a high impact on the match card of the upcoming PPV-
Possible new opponent for the IC title at MITB
Last Sunday at the Extreme Rules PPV, The Miz defended his Intercontinental Championship in a Fatal-4-way match against Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Cesaro. If one calls this match a blockbuster, that would be an understatement.
These 4 guys put on a fantastic show at the PPV and the IC title match was a show stealer. The Miz managed to retain the title successfully. This week on RAW, Cesaro was asked to fight against Miz, Sami Zayn against Sheamus and Kevin Owens against AJ Styles in a qualifying match to be a part of the ladder match. All three - Cesaro, Zayn and Owens managed to beat their opponents clean and secure a spot in the ladder match at MITB.
This leaves WWE the opportunity to pitch in a new opponent against Miz at MITB for the Intercontinental title. This would surely be answered in the coming weeks and we all would be happy if the creative could engage some young talent of the new era against Miz .
