Raw June 16th

Lithium93_

The “Yes!” Movement was dealt a crippling blow last Monday night when The Authority stripped Daniel Bryan of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, a prize that will now be up for grabs in a historic Ladder Match at Money in the Bank. With two more spots yet to be filled in that momentous bout, which Superstars will earn the right to vie for sports-entertainment’s richest prize? Also, what awaits Seth Rollins, the Shield turncoat who has only raised the ire of his former “brothers” Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose since his defection? As the WWE Universe joins Raw guest star Kevin Hart from the film “Think Like a Man Too” — in theaters this Friday — what can we look forward to on this week’s show?


1. Paper chasers (Bray Wyatt’s victory over Dean Ambrose on SmackDown earned The Eater of Worlds a spot in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match at Money in the Bank, joining such elite Superstars as United States Champion Sheamus, Cesaro, Alberto Del Rio and Randy Orton. The entire locker room is buzzing about who will fill the final two spots in this historic bout for the vacant prize. Who will earn that opportunity?)

2. Whatcha gonna do, ‘brother’? (If anybody’s going to wipe the omnipresent smirk off Seth Rollins’ face, it’s going to be Dean Ambrose, who proclaimed on SmackDown that he’s “shutting down the Seth Rollins business for good.” Those were strong words, and that was before The Architect cost The Lunatic Fringe a WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity in the night’s main event.

We certainly wouldn’t want to be in Rollins’ combat boots — or whatever footwear he prefers these days — but we also wouldn’t want to be Randy Orton right now. Judging by Roman Reigns’ derisive commentary on WWE’s Apex Predator on SmackDown, there’s a Spear in Orton’s very near future. We certainly hope that week off was restful, because The Viper’s definitely in for a “case of the Mondays” when he returns to work this week on Raw.)

3. Mystery man (Deeming himself an unworthy partner for his brother Goldust, Cody Rhodes has been on a quest to find the ideal teammate for his face-painted sibling. Thus far, results have been, well, not very good, as The Bizarre One has yet to find tag team success alongside such Cody-approved associates as Sin Cara, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth.

Last Monday night, Cody told his older brother that he’s found the perfect partner that will “magnify the magnificence that is Goldust.” Rhodes also said this new teammate would be someone Goldust had never seen before. Are we about to witness the emergence of a new Superstar on Raw?)

4. Bo-nanza (Even if you don’t buy into the cheesy smile or the “motivational” sound bites, you can’t deny that Bo Dallas is a formidable in-ring competitor. At 7-0 (or 7-Bo), Dallas seemingly can’t be beat. Perhaps the eternal optimist is onto something. Of course, as many “Bo-Lievers” as there are out there, there are legions of WWE Universe members who would like that self-satisfied grin wiped right off Dallas’ face. Yet, Bo’s streak prevails, prompting many of us to ask, “Who’s next?” Let’s just hope he doesn’t start calling himself “Boldberg.”)

5. Buzzards circle WWE Tag Team Titles (By earning a non-title victory over The Usos on the June 2 edition of Raw, Erick Rowan & Luke Harper made it clear they’re in the hunt for the WWE Tag Team Championship, intensifying The Wyatt Family’s already heated rivalry with Jimmy & Jey.

Last week, the warring teams traded singles victories, with Jimmy defeating Harper on WWE Main Event and Rowan besting Jey on SmackDown. Now, as announced exclusively on WWE.com, Bray Wyatt’s sinister followers prepare to challenge The Usos for the WWE Tag Team Titles at Money in the Bank. Can the brothers overcome the imminent challenge of these swamp monsters? )

JP Liz V1

Sting to debut as Goldust's new partner

I think it will be Sandow

Lithium93_

Damien Sandow will be Goldust's new tag team partner, you heard it here first
just guessing, could be wrong

Moneymaker

I'd laugh if it was Sandow dressed as Goldust.

WinnyThePoo

hmm who else in the wrestling world wears facepaint? hmm..haha...any weird lads in NXT that could be brought up?. Sandow or Cody for me.

PinkFly

Damien Sandow is my favourite part of raw no matter what

Devitt?

Seems like they are going with the idea from the weekend live events of Adam Rose

wearing these glasses during his matches

The first girl who kisses him works for ROH mainly is Scarlet Bordeaux. An absolute ride of a thing. A more classy photo of her than most:

Ape Lincoln

The blurb in the OP makes no mention of a second MITB briefcase match and considering that this is the second to last Raw before MITB I suppose either the blurb writer forgot about it, the second ladder match isn't a lock or it's not a high priority to announce the participants.

What a load of Bo-llocks

Scavenger XIII

Almost forgot, there needs to be a nonstop 3MB chant throughout the entire show.

Except maybe if Ambrose is talking.

rovert

Stephanie will probably use the cuts for heat before that.

CM Punk would have mentioned all the names to be kewl.

the second ladder match is just a prediction as of right now. wwe have not even teased a second match but given the possible matches they could book for the show (or lack thereof) it seems a very high probability that they will announce it either this week or next week.

USA! USA! USA!

Ape Lincoln

Everyone out on the ramp for some big announcement.... A battle royal! They always go to these when there's a vacancy.

HHH as Goldust?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. :pac:

Ape Lincoln

Three matches in and three non-finishes. What's the bets the bambulance stretcher match ends all screwy.

J. Marston

Sandow can win that battle royal.

He just needs to bo-lieve!

Mr.Saturn

Fun-time factoid:

Kane was involved in the last Stretcher match on RAW..........I'm guessing it ends up just as well for him tonight.

Eire-Dearg

Decent show tbf.

Steph looks unreal.

J. Marston

People lost their jobs, JBL.

She was released wasn't she? She'll put Reigns in the BR and get fired I'd say.
