Following a great episode of Monday Night RAW last week, the excitement was sky-high this week, and Vince McMahon's billion dollar company did not let down the fans. It was an exciting edition of RAW this week with some important announcements and impressive matches.

The company already announced that Alexa Bliss would announce the male and female participants from the red brand for the Money in the Bank Ladder matches. The Goddess chose Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin for the men's ladder match while Naomi, Dana Brooke, Natalya and Bliss herself were the female participants for the women's ladder match.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson surprisingly swapped brands this week. They faced the Usos, and the Viking Raiders dismantled the Lucha House Party two weeks in a row. Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio locked horns in a non-title WrestleMania rematch where the latter pinned the former. Bray Wyatt also presented the Firefly Fun House after he came back with a new gimmick last week.

Moreover, Sami Zayn continued to diss the fans, and Bobby Lashley entered the feud between Miz and Shane McMahon. The RAW Women's Championship match got more interesting when Lacey Evans and Becky Lynch had a colossal brawl.

It was an entertaining episode of the flagship show. Here we discuss three things WWE cleverly told us on RAW this week.

#3 Bobby Lashley could cost the Miz at Money in the Bank

Another match got set for Money in the Bank next month as the Miz challenged Shane McMahon for a rematch at XL Centre. Unlike the Showcase of Immortals, where it was a Falls Count Anywhere match, it will be a Steel Cage match at Money in the Bank. However, things got interesting as Bobby Lashley entered this rivalry.

Lashley appeared on the Miz TV this week, where he took a shot at Miz. As a matter of fact, he iinsulted Miz's father, and the eight-time Intercontinental Champion started attacking Lashley. It led to a match between the two men on RAW. The All Might Bobby Lashley won the bout with the assistance of Shane McMahon, and the latter assaulted the Miz after the match.

The rivalry between Miz and Shane McMahon garnered the attention of the WWE Universe, and the company took the right decision by extending the rivalry. Judging by the scenario this week, Bobby Lashley could cost Miz the steel cage match at Money in the Bank. The Miz and Lashley could start a fresh rivalry after Money in the Bank.

#2 Rey Mysterio could become US Champion at Money in the Bank

The United States Championship storyline took an interesting turn this week when Samoa Joe faced Rey Mysterio which was a rematch of WrestleMania. Mysterio suffered a humiliating loss at the Showcase of Immortals as the current US Champion squashed him. Without a shadow of a doubt, it was one of the worst defeats of Mysterio's illustrious career in WWE.

Braun Strowman attacked Samoa Joe on the SmackDown Live after WrestleMania and many people speculated that the Monster among Men could be the next Challenger of Joe, but the company might have dropped the idea. Meanwhile, the company probably had bigger plans for Joe and Mysterio at Show of Shows but the latter suffered an ankle injury before WrestleMania which could have made it a squash match.

The scenario is currently different and the two men produced an astounding bout this week on the red brand. With the involvement of Mysterio's son Dominic, the rivalry could get more exciting in the next few weeks.

The three-time WWE Champion could be aiming to win the US Championship at Money in the Bank. Mysterio never managed to grab the US Title, and he could become a Grand Slam Champion at Money in the Bank if he faces and defeats Joe.

#1 AJ Styles could turn

AJ Styles had a memorable last week when he became the number one contender of Universal Champion Seth Rollins. A large number of fans consider it as a dream match which is set to take place at Money in the Bank. Vince McMahon's billion dollar company announced a contract signing between the champion and the challenger which turned into a brawl between the two men. The Phenomenal One closed the show by standing tall this week.

The rivalry could turn out to be the feud of the year as the two men are most decorated in-ring performers of the current generation. However, both superstars are currently babyfaces, and either of the two men could turn heel in the next few weeks. Considering the history of WWE, the company loves to build a blockbuster storyline with a good guy and a bad guy.

Although Rollins gave a hint of a heel turn when he went low to beat Brock Lesnar, he is over as a babyface. AJ Styles has been a face for two years, and it could be an ideal time to turn heel. As a matter of fact, we saw a shade of heel AJ Styles on RAW this week.

The Phenomenal One offered a fierce segment, and he was the first one to put his hands on Rollins. Styles had an interesting run as a bad guy in the past, and he could replicate the same feat against Rollins.
