New Women's World Champion will be crowned on Raw​

After the stunning announcement by Rhea Ripley that she must vacate the Women's World Championship due to injury, a new champion will be crowned live on Monday Night Raw.

With the WWE Draft right around the corner, which Superstar will step up and etch their name into the record books by winning the Women's World Title?

Awesome Truth defend World Tag Team Titles against #DIY​

Next Monday, “Re-Generation X” explodes!

Newly crowned World Tag Team Champions Awesome Truth will defend their titles for the first time against Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.

#DIY became No. 1 Contenders this past week, as they took down The New Day and The Creed Brothers in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match.

The two teams have been friendly with each other, dubbing themselves “Re-Generation X” after R-Truth kept confusing Gargano and Ciampa with Shawn Michaels and Triple H, respectively.

Can Awesome Truth retain their newly won titles, or will #DIY spoil their party?

Ricochet and Andrade team up to take down The Judgment Day​

Andrade has a much-needed ally for his battle against Judgment Day, the high flying Ricochet.

This past week, Andrade defeated “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio. After the match, Mysterio and JD McDonagh tried to beat down Andrade, but Ricochet came to the rescue.

Despite being rivals in the past, Ricochet and Andrade now try to take down The Judgment Day together.

Which team will come out on top?​

What’s next for The Ring General when he returns to Monday Night Raw?

Not a fan of them doing a battle royale but it is what it is. Can totally see babyface thinking they've won the match then the person who was never eliminated runs in and eliminates her.​

It’s gonna be Liv, isn’t it?

 

[Dale]

Doing it to Becky would make the most sense but if it's not either of those two then I can't say i'm that interested.

 

[Butters]

it's tiffy time

 

[Gentleman Jake]

I’d be down with Zoey doing that to Liv. Having Liv descend more into heelness and maybe get a double turn with Zoey

BBWJAXX is right there guys

Excited to see what's next for Gunther.
I hope he makes Imperium focus on the tag belts and Giovanni and Ludwig take them off Awesome Truth.

Let’s go Liv

 

[Dale]

Liv or Bex for me unsurprisingly, genuinely couldn't give a single fuck if any of the others won it. Never a good time for an injury to happen but this happened in such an awkward spot 1.) because of the draft this friday and 2.) them doing K&QOTR next month so they probably don't wanna do back to back tournaments.

 

[Chris]

If Rhea will be good by SummerSlam the easiest booking to me is giving Liv the run until then bc Rhea taking it off her is the best story.

If they're blowing up everything bc the injury fucked up plans related to those other things you mentioned them Becky is a safe bet tho.

I think Nia is literally the only other option as far as who's been featured as a main event talent, everyone else in midcard or tag feuds if they appear regularly

BBWJAXX because fuck it, why not?
