Meanwhile, the WWE Championship picture is bound to become interesting as The Miz has got back his Money In the Bank briefcase. He failed to win the WWE Title after cashing in the contract during the WWE TLC pay-per-view where WWE Champion Drew McIntyre was defending against AJ Styles. Drew retained in that TLC Match and thus Miz’s cash-in was unsuccessful.

But the A-Lister later pointed out how John Morrison actually handed the briefcase to the referee and hence that cash-in wasn’t legal. During a backstage segment, WWE Producer Adam Pearce informed The Miz has regained possession of the briefcase because they were right all along about Morrison cashing in on his behalf which he couldn't. Pearce congratulated The Miz on getting his "grubby little hands" on the briefcase, once again.

This week’s Raw witnessed WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley declaring his spot for the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match. The United States Champion is currently rumoured for a Title defence at The Rumble, perhaps against Riddle or a Triple Threat also featuring Jeff Hardy.

Nia Jax announced herself to be in a spot for the 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match while her partner Shayna Baszler had also indicated that she will also be in the match, but WWE has is yet to confirm Baszler for the match. Only one SmackDown Superstar has announced a spot for The Rumble and that's Daniel Bryan.
