Raw had an awfully big night at Money In The Bank. Not only did Superstars from Team Red win both the men's and women's MITB ladder matches, but one of those contracts didn't even make it to Monday night. That's because Alexa Bliss successfully cashed in her contract just two hours after winning it. On top of that title change, the MITB ladder matches, and the rest of the aftermath from Sunday night, Monday also marked the beginning of looking ahead to the next PPV on July 15, 2018, Extreme Rules, so a lot to unpack on this week's Raw.
5. Ronda Rousey Has Snapped
At Money In The Bank on Sunday night, Ronda Rousey was a fingertip away from becoming Raw Women's Champion. Enter Alexa Bliss. The Goddess of WWE cashed in the MITB contract she won two hours earlier and won the title right under Rousey's nose. Bliss demanded that Monday's Raw open with a celebration of her becoming the red brand's Women's Champion for the third time, and even though former champ Nia Jax wasn't in the building, Rousey was. The Rowdy one ran riot in the ring, beating down Bliss and putting her through a table. She even took down Kurt Angle and a litany of officials when they tried to stop her. That overreaction has earned Rousey a 30-day suspension.

4. We Have A New Intercontinental Champion
Seth Rollins was naturally feeling pretty confident heading into Raw on Monday night. The Architect successfully defended his Intercontinental Title against Elias at Money In The Bank, just the latest in a long line of defenses for Rollins over the past couple of months. He was feeling so confident in fact that he issued an open challenge for his title, and Dolph Ziggler answered. The back and forth match went on with Ziggler's partner in crime, Drew McIntyre watching on from ringside, and The Showoff shocked the world by rolling up Rollins, grabbing a handful of tights, and keeping him down for a three count. Ziggler is now a six-time Intercontinental Champion, and he and McIntyre beat down Rollins after the fact to hammer the message home.

3. Braun Strowman Doesn't Need A Friend
There may be no female MITB contract holder since Bliss already cashed in her opportunity, but the male Superstar with the briefcase is a pretty terrifying prospect, even for Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar. Braun Strowman is the aptly named Monster In The Bank, and on Raw this week he made it clear that he cannot wait for the next time Lesnar shows his face. A casualty of Strowman's quest for the briefcase on Sunday night was Kevin Owens, and he was still in a lot of pain when he interrupted Mr. MITB on Raw. KO was looking to make friends with the Monster Among Men, offering him help to win the Universal Title in return for the first shot at it when Strowman wins. Unsurprisingly, Strowman doesn't need or want friends. The Monster responded by trying to Powerslam The Prizefighter, but he just managed to escape.

2. The Race To Face Brock Lesnar Is On
Angle came to the ring again later in the evening to announce that a decision has been made on when Brock Lesnar will next defend his Universal Championship. All that's needed is a challenger. Cue Roman Reigns. The Big Dog believes that he should get yet another shot at The Beast, but clearly, Bobby Lashley disagrees. There will be a multi-man match to decide the number one contender to the Universal Title, and Reigns and Lashley are the first entrants into the match to have been announced. Angle then forced the two of them to team up against The Revival, a match they won relatively easily. Lashley sent a message at the end of the bout though, picking up the win by tagging himself in and using Reigns' finisher, the spear.

1. Constable Corbin Is Victorious
Lashley and Reigns aren't the only ones who have had their attentions peaked by Angle's Brock Lesnar announcement. Backstage Finn Balor, Braun Strowman, Baron Corbin, and Kevin Owens all declared their interest in the upcoming multi-man match. That meeting led to the night's main event being booked, Balor and Braun versus Corbin and Owens. The Irishman spent a lot of the match taking a beating, that was until the Monster In The Bank dragged him over to their side of the ring and tagged him. That's when the tide began to turn, right up until Strowman sacrificed himself by shoulder tackling KO right through the barrier. That left Corbin and Balor battling in the ring, and the constable managed to connect with an End Of Days in order to pick up the win.
