One night after a chaotic ending to the WWE "Evolution" PLE, Monday's episode of "Raw" starts the road to "SummerSlam."
Very few anticipated Naomi to be the one to walk out of State Farm Arena with the WWE Women's World Championship this past Sunday, but that's exactly what happened. Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley were having an instant classic before Naomi successfully cashed in her MITB briefcase. What will Naomi have to say after capturing "Raw's" top female championship?
Speaking of the "Evolution" PLE, one of WWE's emerging stars secured a guaranteed world title opportunity for "Clash in Paris" during the show. Stephanie Vaquer eliminated "NXT's" Lash Legend in the battle royal to earn the title shot. What is in the cards for "La Primera" before Aug. 31?
Plus, who will run the gauntlet? CM Punk, Jey Uso, LA Knight, Bron Breakker, and Penta will participate in the match with a WWE World Heavyweight Championship opportunity against Gunther at stake. The winner will become the No. 1 contender for a title shot at "SummerSlam."
Also, Becky Lynch successfully retained the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. Near the end of the match, Bayley hit Valkyria with the Rose Plant, but Lynch secured a backslide pin on Bayley to maintain her hold on the gold. Who will step up to challenge Lynch ahead of "SummerSlam?"
The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship remains with The Judgment Day following "Evolution." Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez made their first successful title defense together. Rodriguez hit the Tejana Bomb on Sol Ruca for the victory. Will the win create even more tension between The Judgment Day and an injured Liv Morgan?
WWE "Raw" will air live on the Netflix streaming platform at 8 p.m. ET.
