Bengaluru, April 23: Building new storylines was the prime focus of this week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw hosted at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa.
Following Superstar Shakeup, the show started from scratch to create the angles for the next pay-per-view event named Money in the Bank. Plus, a new challenger emerged to face Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship.
Here are the highlights from Raw in Iowa:
We went live into Raw to know that there will be two triple threat matches with the winners facing each other in the main event. The winner of that match will get a chance to face Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank PPV for the Univesal title.
Triple H kicked off the show by having a confrontation with the champion Seth Rollins before all the six title aspirants gathered inside the ring. They engaged in a verbal war before the first triple threat match got underway.
Meanwhile, The Viking Raiders were supposed to compete in a match against the Lucha House Party next. But the match never started as they double slam/powerbombed Gran Metallic and Kalisto. They followed up with flapjack turned into powerslam before they left the ring.
