    Angry WWE RAW Coverage & Discussion Thread - June 11th, 2018



    Two Fatal 4-Way Matches highlight the final Raw before WWE Money in the Bank

    Live on Raw, Roman Reigns will accept Jinder Mahal’s challenge, the Team Red competitors in the Men’s and Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Matches will compete in Fatal 4-Way bouts to gain key momentum. Plus, Ronda Rousey and Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax will meet face-to-face!





    - We're live from the Verizon Center in North Little Rock, Arkansas as Michael Cole welcomes us. He's joined by Corey Graves and Jonathan Coachman.

    - We go right to the ring and it's filled with ladders and Superstars. The Money In the Bank briefcases are shown hanging high above the ring. The red brand MITB competitors are sitting up on the ladders - Natalya, Alexa Bliss, Ember Moon, Sasha Banks, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Bobby Roode. The music hits and out comes RAW General Manager Kurt Angle to "you suck" chants and a pop.

    Angle hypes the matches but the music interrupts and out comes Baron Corbin, the new Constable of RAW. Corbin is dressed for the job. Corbin says he represents RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and he's here to make sure RAW runs smoothly. Fans boo. Angle says nothing would make him happier than to see both MITB contracts come back to RAW. Corbin says Stephanie will be highly disappointed if both title shots don't come back to RAW and we don't want to do that, do we? Bliss speaks up and tells Corbin not to worry because she will fight through the injury she suffered last week and win. Banks interrupts and Bliss is confused about what kind of injury she suffered. Ember chimes in and they have words but Angle interrupts. Angle says Natalya has been cleared from last week but he asks if she's ready for the Ladder Match. She says she is and she's looking forward to facing the soon-to-be RAW Women's Champion and her friend, Ronda Rousey. Banks says Rousey may be the next champion but she'll be the one cashing in. They argue some more but Owens interrupts and wants to talk about something important now.

    Owens asks about the briefcase being raised because of Strowman's height when he goes for it. Roode and Owens argue some. Angle confirms the briefcase will not be raised or lowered. Owens sucks up to Corbin and Strowman interrupts as he wants to do something about Owens. Owens asks Corbin how can he impress Stephanie when he's always being threatened. Strowman says that wasn't a threat, it was a promise. Strowman yells about taking Owens out and says he will go on to cash in on WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. The arguing continues until Bliss screams and shuts everyone up, saying they need to calm down because they sound like the Real Housewives of WWE. Bliss says she already knows who will win - her Mixed Match Challenge partner Strowman. Banks believes her MMC partner Finn Balor will win. Balor goes with Banks. The arguing continues until Braun yells out this time. Braun says somebody is going to get these hands on Sunday. Fans pop. Braun's music hits as everyone looks around from up on the ladders.

    - Still to come, Fatal 4 Way matches with the MITB competitors. We go to commercial.

Owens talks "we" and wants to get Balor on his side for tonight's Fatal 4 Way. Owens says they fought each other and beat each other up last week and that's fine because they're competitors but they have something else in common - they're former WWE Universal Champions and didn't get their rematches. Owens says if Braun wins the briefcase and the title, he could hold it forever. Owens says everyone know Balor can't beat Braun and Owens says he probably can but it will be taxing.

    - Back from the break and JoJo introduces Elias, who is in the ring with a spotlight and his guitar. He says hello and introduces himself before playing a little.

Rollins says the charity would be perfect for a charity auction right here in Little Rock. Rollins asks if we have any bidders and it sounds like fans are ready to pay. Elias says he will bid. Rollins says this must be very special as it came from Mayer. Rollins places the guitar on the mat and teases a big stomp to it but he holds back. Elias is a nervous wreck, pleading from the ramp and mentioning Sunday night over and over. Fans chant "yes!" but Elias says no.

Rollins calls on his friends in Arkansas to help him out and the "burn it down!" chants start up. Rollins bounces off the rope and delivers The Stomp to the guitar.

    Sami talks about receiving heat for questioning Bobby Lashley's Army service last week. Sami says he can't verify any of these claims by Lashley and the only way he can prove his service is by completing this Army-style obstacle course faster than Sami can. Sami starts explaining the various obstacles on the course, walking the impressive course that actually runs down the ramp and around the ring.

    Sami says he was told that Green Berets run this course in around 2 minutes but he banged it out earlier today in about 1.5 minutes, without no warm-up and an injured right hand he suffered at the hands of Lashley. And with no real motivation. Imagine how fast he will be able to do it with fans cheering him on and the adrenaline running. Sami goes on. Young introduces Lashley and out he comes.
