Raw results, live blog: Money in the Bank qualifiers

WWE Monday Night Raw comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (June 17, 2024) from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, featuring all the fallout from the Clash at the Castle premium live event that went down just this past Saturday in Glasgow, Scotland.

Advertised for tonight: Yes, fallout from the big PLE from this past weekend but with so little time until the next major show, Money in the Bank, there will be a lot of build to that. It starts with qualifying matches for the ladder matches. Iyo Sky vs. Zelina Vega vs. Kiana James and Jey Uso vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Finn Balor were both announced for as much. Elsewhere, Dragon Lee takes on Carlito. Plus, a whole lot more!

Come right back here at 8 pm ET when the Raw live blog will kick off once the show starts on USA Network. It will be below this line here. Reminder: GIFs and pics allowed, but no links to illegal streams, please.

WWE RAW RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR JUNE 17

Listen to me for a nominal fee you can have anything you want. What matters the most is the bad joke ghost circling your floating corpse at the end of the haunt. Never forming pleasantry, just liveblogging this here pro wrestling show for you, folks.

The show opens with the opening signature glitching out.

Thence to a recap of Clash at the Castle.

Seth Rollins is here!

He soaks in the crowd’s reaction to his return before welcoming us to Monday Night Rollins. He says he misses us and he’s back for one reason, to be the very greatest of all time, and he’s used to climbing ladders and so on and—

Enter Damian Priest.

He says he’s not sarcastic when he says he wanted to be the first to welcome him back, he looks great and he looks healthy and he’s been wanting face-to-face time to tell Rollins that he wanted to cash in on him, out of respect. But it’s not Monday Night Rollins anymore because the Judgment Day runs things.

Seth asks him what kind of champion he wants to be and I lose most of Damian’s response because my cable is on the fritz again, but he suggests that instead of Seth entering Money in the Bank they should just have a title match at the show. Rollins accuses him of setting up an ambush but Priest says it’s man to man, just tell him whether or not it’s on.

Rollins accepts the challenge, of course.

Commentary hypes up the rest of the show.

Alpha Academy roll up on Adam Pearce’s office and Chad Gable talks trash at his students for costing him the title and he asks for a rematch. Pearce talks about how disappointing it must be and I lose his actual decision in the garble as I reboot my cable box.

Back from commercial, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn are shown walking backstage.

Braun Strowman vs. Chad Gable

Strowman clobbering Gable down, whip into the ropes, boot up, scoop Chad, he floats over, O’Connor roll denied and Braun boots him down! Clubs in the corner, Strowman clubs him to the floor and we go to break!
