Tonight, the company will broadcast a live Monday Raw taping in Albany, NY at the Times Union Center featuring Sami Zayn bringing out “Bobby Lashley’s sisters” to expose him, more Money in the Bank Ladder Match qualifiers, the next step in the feud between Jinder Mahal and Roman Reigns and Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax return to Raw after their MITB match for the Raw Women’s Championship has been made official. WWE will also tape Main Event. If anyone is attending Raw, we are seeking spoiler reports.
Matt and Jeff Hardy as well as Edge and Christian will take part in Table For 3 tonight on the WWE Network following Raw.
Tomorrow, WWE will broadcast Smackdown Live and 205 Live from the DCU Arena in Worcester, MA. Announced for Smackdown is Miz TV with the New Day revealing which member will compete at Money in the Bank, Naomi vs. Sonya Deville in a Money in the Bank qualifying match, Lana vs. Billie Kaye in a Money in the Bank qualifying match, and Samoa Joe vs. Big Cass in a Money in the Bank qualifying bout.
After the TV tapings this week, the WWE crew will head home for a well deserved rest, having hit 22 dates over the last two weeks in Europe. There are a lot of tired, sore wrestlers ready to go home and decompress.
It is interesting to note in advance of tomorrow's Smackdown that WWE has hinted that Big Cass may once again be injured on their social media:
