With Saturday Night’s Main Event now in the books, WWE turns its attention to Monday Night Raw on May 26.
The road to Money in the Bank is already underway, with a big-time tag match in the form of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso vs. John Cena and Logan Paul announced.
With the PLE less than two weeks away, key storylines are sure to be escalated on Raw.
Here are the changes we’re likely to see on WWE’s red brand this week.
6. Finn Bálor Qualifies For Money In The Bank
One of two Money in the Bank qualifiers announced for the May 26 WWE Raw will see Seth Rollins face Sami Zayn and Finn Bálor in a three-way bout.
Given the events of Saturday Night’s Main Event, there’s every chance CM Punk will interfere and cost Rollins the match.
It’s equally likely that either Bron Breakker or Bronson Reed could get involved and sabotage Zayn’s chances.
This interference could open the door for Bálor to steal the win and secure his place in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

5. CM Punk Challenges Seth Rollins For Money In The Bank
At Saturday Night’s Main Event, the feud between Seth Rollins and CM Punk escalated further when Bronson Reed cost Punk’s team the match.
Punk now seems likely to return the favour by costing Rollins his spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match on Raw.
This would set up another one-on-one clash between the two, taking place at Money in the Bank.
With the show less than two weeks away, the match could be officially announced on the May 26 edition of WWE Raw.

4. American Made Win World Tag Team Championship
Since winning the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania, The New Day have continued their feud with the War Raiders.
On the May 12 edition of Raw, New Day cost the War Raiders a match against the rising American Made duo, setting up a triple threat title bout.
While American Made are clearly the third team in the story, the incredibly talented pair could steal the titles from their feuding rivals.
A surprise title change on the May 26 WWE Raw is a distinct possibility.

3. Lyra Valkyria Challenges Becky Lynch To Another Match
On the May 19 edition of Raw, WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria interfered in a triple threat Money in the Bank qualifier, costing Becky Lynch the match.
Their feud is clearly far from over.
On the May 26 Raw, Valkyria could challenge Lynch to one final showdown for the Intercontinental Title at Money in the Bank.
This heated bout would likely set the stage for the inevitable return of Bayley.

2. Dragon Lee Secures Spot In Money In The Bank
A second Money in the Bank qualifier will see Chad Gable face Dragon Lee and Penta, again in three-way action.
Much like the first qualifier, two of the participants – Gable and Penta – are embroiled in a continuing feud.
Both could cost each other the match, continuing their rivalry and setting up a mask vs. mask bout between Penta and Gable’s luchador alter ego, El Grande Americo, at Money in the Bank.
In what will undoubtedly be a thrilling contest, Dragon Lee may earn a spot in the ladder match at WWE’s next PLE.

A bout and feud between the two feels surely imminent.
The official split could happen as soon as the May 26 edition of WWE Raw.
