WWE Raw Results, Highlights, and Grades For June 11, 2018
On tonight’s episode of WWE Raw, we’ll get the final build to Sunday’s Money in the Bank Pay Per View, which features eight men and eight women in two ladder matches.
Roman Reigns and Jinder Mahal will square off at Money in the Bank in a grudge match, and I have a feeling that won’t be the last time these two will have a singles match at a big Pay Per View. Tonight, the two will face off on Raw, as Reigns accepted Jinder’s challenge. Seeing as how Jinder never fights fair and was the one to initiate this fight, I have a feeling he and Sunil Singh will try to pull something shady.
Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Bobby Roode, and Kevin Owens will partake in a Fatal Four-Way match, as will Natalya, Alexa Bliss, Sasha Banks, and Ember Moon. These four men and women are Raw’s representatives in their respective ladder matches this Sunday. In my mind, there’s just no way Strowman loses his Fatal Four-Way match, and he needs the momentum if he isn’t going to win the briefcase on Sunday.
But the women’s match is more interesting, because there’s an “injury” storyline at play with both Bliss and Nattie. Last week, Bliss faked an injury to avoid competing in a six-woman tag match against the Riott Squad, but can she get out of this Fatal Four-Way? And Natalya suffered a knee injury during her loss to Nia Jax. Will she be 100% tonight and all systems go for Money in the Bank? Or could WWE replace her in the match with Bayley?
Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax will have one final staredown before Money in the Bank on Sunday, as Rousey is attempting to win her first title in WWE. Considering that Rousey has yet to get her hands on Nia, I have a feeling the inevitable beatdown Jax will suffer at Rousey’s hands will wait on Sunday. But it will be interesting to see how WWE builds up Nia in their final show before MITB.
