5 things you need to know before tonight's WWE Monday Night RAW (May 20th, 2019)

Tonight, the Times Union Center in Albany, New York will prepare to deal with the fallout from last night's epic Money in the Bank pay per view. After an explosive event, the men and women of the red brand will have no time to relax as they prepare for an explosive show tonight.

Last night, the WWE Universe saw some shocking title changes, as well as the return of Brock Lesnar, who amazed everyone by capturing the Men's Money in the Bank contract.

But with Money in the Bank now in the rear-view mirror, it is time for the new champions to make their presence felt, new challengers, to emerge and WWE to move forward to their next special event: Super ShowDown.

Here are five things you need to know before tonight's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW.

#5 How does Becky One Belt bounce back?

Lynch retained the RAW Women's title against Lacey Evans, but lost the SmackDown gold to Charlotte Flair.

Money in the Bank 2019 definitely did not go how Becky Lynch had planned. The show started off strong for her, as she was able to retain her RAW Women's Title over a game Lacey Evans.

However, the match clearly took its toll, as The Man came up short against Charlotte Flair, who won the SmackDown Women's title. At least Lynch will have some satisfaction knowing that her nemesis' reign did not last long, as Flair promptly lost the gold to Miss Money in the Bank Bayley.

Regardless though, losing the title has been a devastating blow for The Man, who is expected to speak on RAW tonight. What will the newly-christened Becky One Belt have to say about last night's event, and who will feel her wrath?

#4 What's next for Super ShowDown?

Goldberg and Undertaker will clash for the first time ever at the show next month.

WWE Money in the Bank may be behind us, but the WWE is ready to barrel forward to their next show: WWE Super ShowDown.

The third event as part of the decade-long deal with the company and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Super ShowDown already has a stacked card, including a 50-Man Battle Royal, a huge bout between Triple H and Randy Orton, as well as the first-ever singles match between Goldberg and The Undertaker.

With so much epicness already announced for the event, perhaps another match will be announced tonight. The show is set to take place in Jeddah on June 7, and though this doesn't give WWE a lot of time, we expect plenty of more matches for the show which many are considering to be as big as WrestleMania.

#3 New Championship to be unveiled

Could Mick Foley be preparing to bring the historic Hardcore championship back to the WWE?

WWE fans may gripe about the state of the product, but no one can accuse the company of being predictable. Tonight, the company will unveil a new championship during Monday Night Raw, as the prospect of a new title has everyone hooked.

Though various possible titles have been speculated on and rumored (including a special Legends Championship), the guest revealer may be the biggest clue of them all.

Hall of Famer Mick Foley will be the one to unveil the new gold, who older fans may remember as the very first WWF Hardcore Champion, being awarded the gold in late 1998. Could the Micker be preparing to re-introduce the title, and if so, who will receive the prestigious honour of being the first Hardcore Champion of this new era?

#2 Mysterio retaliates after Grand Slam win

Mysterio captured the US Title and the Grand Slam but suffered the wrath of Joe post the match.

Rey Mysterio may have captured the United States Championship and completed the WWE's Grand Slam in the process, but Money in the Bank did not quite go how the new champion would have planned.

Moments after toppling Samoa Joe to win the star-spangled strap, the now-former champion assaulted Mysterio, in front of his son Dominick no less. Mysterio has always been lauded as a Superstar with great honour, so the masked marvel must be raging after the post-match assault.

Expect the man of mystery to have plenty to say tonight, on his very first RAW as the new United States Champion. Of course, Mysterio should keep a watchful eye out for another sneak attack by the Samoan Submission Machine, both for himself as well as for his son.

#1 When will the Beast strike?

Lesnar's win has everyone shocked.

It's safe to say that last night's Money in the Bank event ended in a way nobody could have foreseen. After being absent for weeks from WWE, Brock Lesnar returned to the company during the event, capturing the Men's Money in the Bank contract.

Though this decision has split fan opinion, there's one question on everyone's collective mind:

When will Lesnar cash-in?

The Beast's relaxed schedule allows Lesnar extended breaks from the company, meaning that the next appearance by the former Universal Champion is all the more interesting.

Though Lesnar as Mr. Money in the Bank is interesting, it has left fans worried as the months without the Universal Championship being on RAW due to Lesnar's stranglehold of the title is still fresh in the memory of the WWE Universe.

Whatever happens, expect Lesnar's shocking win to be addressed tonight.
