Like last week, this week’s Raw opened with MVP and the VIP room, this time with the fighters of brand Red who will participate in the Women’s Money in the Bank Match as guests.

The segment ended with Asuka screaming with Shayna Baszler until the two attacked Nia Jax, before MVP prevented the two from also physically facing off.

– AJ Styles beat Titus O’Neil, Akira Tozawa, Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, Angel Garza, Austin Theory and Humberto Carrillo (Gauntlet Match): The Gauntlet match to define the fighter who would take the place of Apollo Crews in Men’s Money In The Bank started off mind-blowingly with Bobby Lashley in less than 5 minutes to eliminate Titus O’Neil, Akira Tozawa and Shelton Benjamin.

The dominance of “All Mighty” continued against Humberto Carillo, but the frustration of not being able to win the Mexican fighter, overcame Bobby Lashley who, confused by the resistance of Humberto Carrillo, ended up pressing the referee who disqualified him.

Bobby Lashley was irritated by the decision and attacked Humberto Carrillo, much to the delight of Angel Garza, who would be the next fighter to enter this Gauntlet. Angel Garza would dominate the fight from start to finish, but with a sunsetHumberto Carillo managed to eliminate his cousin.
