5 things we can expect on Raw (11 June 2018)

This week's Raw will be the go-home show for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view next Sunday. The match card for MITB will be finalised, though, at this point, it does not look like there will be any more additions to the already stacked card for next Sunday.

However, the go-home show is always exciting, as we will get to see which of the Superstars will be high on momentum heading into a PPV and this week's show will determine the same, with two Fatal-4-way matches, a singles match which will happen at MITB as well and a face-off segment already announced.

With that in mind, let us have a look at five things we can expect on Raw this week.

#5 Who gains momentum?

The women who will represent Raw at MITB

Two Fatal-4-way matches have been announced for this week's Raw, with the MITB Ladder match competitors going head to head one week before their match. Finn Balor, Braun Strowman, Bobby Roode and Kevin Owens will face off, and the women from Raw who are competing in the Ladder match - Alexa Bliss, Natalya, Sasha Banks and Ember Moon will compete as well.

While it seems like whoever wins these matches gain momentum heading into the PPV, WWE often tends to do the exact opposite - the person who wins on the go-home show ends up losing at the PPV.

So, it is tough to say how exactly these matches will have a bearing on MITB, so instead of trying to predict the same, we can just settle for some good in-ring action.

#4 Baron Corbin's promo skills will be put to the test

Raw's new Constable

Last week on Raw, Baron Corbin declared that he had been appointed as the new Constable of Raw, and asserted his role as a representative of Stephanie McMahon. The idea sounds good enough, as it has started off a fresh new storyline on the red brand.

However, the new role will be a test of skills for the Lone Wolf. Now, Corbin can be pretty decent on the mic and cut promos without messing up lines or anything of the sort, but he has hitherto failed to captivate the audience with his words.

This is a fresh new start for the winner of MITB last year, and if done right, the angle can push Corbin's status as a heel to the next level.

#3 Real-life brothers fight each other

Siblings face off?

Last week on Raw, The B-Team - Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas - won a Battle Royal to become the number one contenders for the Raw Tag Team Championships. Tomorrow on Raw, the title matches will probably be made official, perhaps for MITB.

But the most interesting dynamic about this match will be the fact that Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt are brothers in real life, both of them the sons of former WWE star Mike Rotunda, better known as IRS.

It will be interesting to see whether the storyline will acknowledge this connection and if so, how it will come into play during the feud.

#2 Face to Face

Ronda Rousey will get a shot at the Title at MITB

WWE have announced that this week's Raw will have a segment where the Raw Women's Champion Nia Jax will come face to face with her challenger at MITB, Ronda Rousey. It will be interesting to see what WWE has in store for the segment as they cannot really afford to derail the momentum of either of the two at this point.

Arguably the most unpredictable match on the MITB card, the match will be Rousey's second ever match on WWE TV. While she was more than impressive in her first showing, this time might be a little different as there is more at stake.

Also, with WWE seemingly going for a Nia Jax heel turn down the line, this segment will probably put the turn in motion.

#1 Roman Reigns vs Jinder Mahal one week in advance? Maybe not

Will we see two matches between these two men?

In a strange turn of events, WWE announced that fans will not have to wait till MITB to see Reigns vs Mahal, as the two are set to fight it out on this week's episode of Raw, one week before their match at MITB.

With fans rejecting the feud since the beginning, it is not clear why WWE has chosen to do this. Maybe the match will not take place after all, perhaps due to a backstage attack before the match, or maybe an assault before the bell rings.

Though we have seen the same angle numerous times before, I feel that The Big Dog will get battered up and suffer kayfabe injuries on Raw, so that he can once again overcome all odds and beat Mahal at MITB, fighting through the pain and suffering. Here's hoping I'm wrong and that WWE has something else in mind.
