WWE Monday Night Raw preview, May 27: Watch online

Here’s all the information you need for the May 27, 2019 edition of WWE Monday Night Raw.

What an interesting couple of weeks it’s been since WWE Money In The Bank. We’ve had new champions, one briefcase winner has already cashed in and won a championship and a former champion returned to shock the entire WWE Universe.

And that’s where we’ll start, with the return of the Beast. As the men’s Money In The Bank match was wrapping up, Brock Lesner stormed to the ring and brought down the briefcase. Since then, he made an appearance last week and we received a promise from Paul Heyman that Lesnar would make the decision this week which champion he would put in his sights. Will it be Seth Rollins and a Universal Championship rematch, or is he putting Kofi Kingston and the WWE Championship in the direct path of a potentially violent F5?

Another bit of controversy came out of Money In The Bank. This time, regarding the United States Championship and the ending of the match between Rey Mysterio and then-defending champion Samoa Joe. There was a three-count that was registered in favor of Mysterio, awarding him the title. However Joe’s shoulders were clearly not all the way down. Last week, Joe issued a statement aimed at Mysterio. He said was going to give Mysterio a chance to “do the ring thing” and give the title back to him. Will (the injured) Mysterio give in and return the US Championship to Joe, or will the former champion unleash fury on the legendary masked athlete?

Last week, Mick Foley returned to WWE and unveiled the company’s newest championship — the 24/7 Championship. For you older fans that remember the Attitude Era, think back to the Hardcore Title that had the 24/7 rule. Same thing here. Titus O’Neil became the inaugural champion, albeit briefly, before Robert Roode was able to take a turn with the title. By the end of the night, R-Truth had managed to escape with the title — and half the locker room on his heels. Since then, he’s had everyone from the locker room to even backstage agents such as Adam Pearce and Fit Finlay wondering if they could catch R-Truth napping just long enough to run off with the gold. Keep your eyes peeled this week, because we’ve already seen the 24/7 Championship defended at the most random of moments.
