Adam Pearce just gave fans a much clearer picture of what WWE has cooking for Monday Night RAW, and the September 21 show is suddenly looking stacked.
The RAW General Manager took to Instagram on September 20 to confirm five major pieces of the show, including two Money in the Bank qualifiers, Bayley finally getting Lyra Valkyria one-on-one and both Penta and LA Knight grabbing microphones.
RAW heads to the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, on September 21 as WWE keeps charging toward Money in the Bank on October 10. The briefcases are still up for grabs, but there’s plenty of unfinished business outside those qualifiers too.
The biggest grudge match on the card puts Bayley across the ring from Lyra Valkyria after weeks of bad blood. Bayley returned on the September 7 episode of RAW and wrecked Valkyria’s Money in the Bank qualifier, pulling the referee out of the ring before Lyra could secure the victory and then going after her once the match was finished.
Bayley wasn’t done there either. She sent another direct warning to Valkyria on the September 14 RAW, and now WWE is finally putting them in the ring together instead of letting the situation keep exploding around everybody else.
Penta will also speak after taking Roman Reigns to war for the World Heavyweight Championship in Mexico City. Penta came up short against Reigns in the September 14 RAW main event, and WWE cameras later caught his emotional reaction after the biggest match of his WWE career.
LA Knight has plenty to talk about too. Knight attacked Reigns after that Mexico City title defense, and the chaos resulted in Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight becoming official for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank.
Then there are the two Money in the Bank qualifiers, and neither one gives anybody an easy road. Dragon Lee, Solo Sikoa and Dominik Mysterio will fight for another spot in the men’s ladder match, while Iyo Sky, Roxanne Perez and AAA Reina de Reinas Champion La Catalina collide for a place in the women’s field.
The confirmed September 21 WWE RAW lineup is:
- Penta speaks
- LA Knight speaks
- Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria
- Dragon Lee vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Dominik Mysterio — Men’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
- Iyo Sky vs. Roxanne Perez vs. La Catalina — Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
WWE isn’t exactly easing back into the United States after its Mexico City trip. Bayley and Lyra finally get to settle some business, two more Superstars will punch tickets to Money in the Bank, and both Penta and LA Knight have plenty to say after getting tangled up in the World Heavyweight Championship picture.
