WWE Monday Night Raw Thread: Wanting to Climb the Corporate Ladder Edition

Monday Night Raw is live again tonight... but with a much thinner roster than last week (officially RIP Rusev Day ).

But WWE is making some changes... deciding to go on some form of weird, inconsistent taping schedule where some weeks will be live and others will be pre-taped. All of this week's WWE programming, including tonight as noted above, is live, but this week they are also taping next week's shows.

So here's the preview of tonight's live show from a mostly empty WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla.

Drew McIntyre should be out looking for revenge after the Monday Night Messiah stomped his face flat at the end of last week's show. What will WWE's 1st Champion from the United Kingdom have in store for Seth Rollins?

And there will be 3 men's Money in the Bank qualifying matches...

Rey Mysterio, Jr. takes on (no longer your Buddy) Murphy

Aleister Black should have his wife at ringside for his match for the 1st time in his WWE career as he battles the Zelina Vega-managed Austin Theory

And the suddenly getting more & more air time Apollo Crews looks to cement a spot in the ladder match as he dukes it out with MVP (wasn't he retired after 'Mania?)

In case you didn't hear... or understand what Maggle said on Friday... the 2 Money in the Bank Ladder Matches at the PPV this year are both happening at the WWE Corporate Offices in Stamford, Conn....

and the way the match works is the wrestlers start on the ground floor, battle their way to the roof of the building (which I imagine has to be some 20-30 stories tall... if not more) where there will be a ring waiting with a ladder just like a regular Money in the Bank ladder match

my strategy would be to lock all my opponents in a storage closet and get in the elevator ASAP... and if anyone gets even close to joining me on the roof... just throw them off the top of the building to the ground below




Does WWE remember they just had to postpone construction of their new HQ building by like 6 months at least due to this virus stuff? I hope the 2 Money in the Bank matches don't destroy Titan Towers too badly

also... preemptive RIP to the T-Rex fossil head wall decoration in Vince's office
