Bengaluru, July 5: This week's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw featured the fall-outs from this past Saturday's Money In The Bank premium live event, which in turn, led to the build up for the 2022 SummerSlam.

The Miz was scheduled to answer the challenge laid by MMA Star and YouTuber Logan Paul. Also, The Mysterios competed against Judgment Day in a tag team match in their hometown on the occasion of American Independence Day.

Check out the recap and results from the July 4 episode of Monday Night Raw that took place at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California:

– Bobby Lashley kicked off things celebrating his United States Title win at Money In The Bank. Lashley vowed to be a dominant Champion, so much that no one would be able to take the title away from him.

Mr. Money In The Bank Theory interrupted and announced that he has already been granted a rematch against Lashley for the United States Championship at SummerSlam 2022 on July 30th. This match was then officially announced for SummerSlam.

– The Miz said the following about Logan Paul’s SummerSlam challenge during an interview with Megan Morant.

“Logan Paul, accept my offer and we will become WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions. But if you don’t, I will be relentless. I will make you earn everything and you will be humbled.”

– AJ Styles defeated The Miz in a rematch. Styles got out of the Figure Four Leglock in a quick matchup and nailed the Phenomenal Forearm on Miz for the pin-fall win. After the match, Ciampa attacked Styles from behind as it looked like Miz and Ciampa would be in an alliance, moving forward.

– Judgment Day's Damian Priest and Finn Balor attacked The Mysterios backstage and laid them out until the officials arrived at the scene.

– Liv Morgan appeared on Raw to celebrate her SmackDown Women’s Championship win at Money In The Bank. Natalya interrupted the celebration and claimed that Liv is only Champion thanks to her Sharpshooter that damaged Ronda Rousey prior to the match.

– RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair and SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan defeated Carmella and Natalya in the tag team match. Mella and Belair were fighting outside the ring as Morgan planted Natalya with the Oblivion finisher to get the pin to win.
