Raw preview, June 20, 2016: The Lunatic Champion's reign begins
After capturing the coveted Money in the Bank contract last night, Dean Ambrose cashed in on his former Shield “brother” Seth Rollins to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion! What can the WWE Universe expect during The Lunatic Fringe’s first Raw as sports-entertainment’s supreme titleholder?
How will Dean Ambrose celebrate his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship?
In a span of mere minutes last night at WWE Money in the Bank, all three former members of The Shield were WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Roman Reigns was defeated by Seth Rollins in the night’s main event, but Dean Ambrose was quick to give the opportunistic Architect a taste of his own medicine when he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on the victorious Rollins, and left Las Vegas with sports-entertainment’s grandest prize.
Now that the WWE World Heavyweight Title belongs to The Lunatic Fringe, can we expect Raw to be even wilder than usual? What will Shane or Stephanie McMahon have to say about the new, unorthodox titleholder?
Might another former SmackDown figurehead emerge?
With SmackDown going live on USA Network Tuesday, July 19, the blue brand’s former authority figures have resurfaced to reveal their intentions to take the show to new heights during The New Era. First, it was Teddy Long who returned, not losing a step — or his affinity for tag team matches — since he last ran SmackDown full-time back in 2012. Then, Corporate Kane materialized to use his conflict resolution skills to curry favor with Shane and Stephanie McMahon. Will we see this trend continue on this week’s edition of Monday night’s hottest show?
Will Natalya explain herself?
After Natalya was pinned by WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte last night at WWE Money in the Bank, The Queen of Harts brutally betrayed her longtime friend and tag team partner Becky Lynch, attacking The Irish Lass Kicker as Charlotte and Dana Brooke looked on from the entrance ramp.
The assault came as a complete surprise, both to Becky and the WWE Universe watching around the globe, as Natalya and the fiery redhead have been friends since before they reunited in WWE. What precipitated the Hart Dungeon graduate’s sudden, vitriolic attitude toward her longtime ally? Hopefully, we’ll learn more about the rift between the team once known as “Hart and Fire” tonight.
Did The Club conspire against John Cena?
We all saw the contract AJ Styles signed last week: At WWE Money in the Bank, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson were supposed to be barred from ringside to ensure that the long-awaited dream match pitting The Phenomenal One against John Cena would be a fair fight. It was … until Styles’ running buddies stormed the ring while the referee was incapacitated, attacked the Cenation leader, placed their friend on top of Cena and stole a win for The Club.
It’s unclear at this point as to whether Styles planned on Gallows & Anderson’s intervention all along, or if his allies were acting on their own. Regardless, Cena will be looking for reprisal when he arrives in Phoenix for Raw.
Will Titus O’Neil get retribution against Rusev?
Despite taking the fight to United States Champion Rusev last night at WWE Money in the Bank, Titus O’Neil suffered an unfortunate defeat to The Super Athlete, who proceeded to further humiliate the Floridian in front of his own sons following the bell.
After Rusev spoiled his Father’s Day in a disgusting and disrespectful manner, O’Neil isn’t going to let The Bulgarian Brute off easy tonight.
