WWE Monday Night RAW Live Results: Who Will Be A Part of MITB Ladder Matches?

The next WWE pay-per-view is Money in the Bank, a show that will affect the title pictures across both brands.

Some matches for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view have already been announced, but the WWE has yet to be reveal the men and women participating in the MITB ladder matches. Tonight, Alexa Bliss will announce the RAW participants for both matches.

A supposed leak puts some big names in both ladder matches including currently-MIA superstar Sasha Banks. Tonight's announcement will confirm whether Sasha is taking time off the roster or not.

AJ Styles, who defeated Baron Corbin in a match last week, will go one-on-one with Universal Champion Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank. The two superstars have yet to go to war in the WWE and fans are looking forward to the technique and athleticism both men will bring to their match. But is Rollins ready to defend his Universal title against the man who held the WWE Championship for over a year?

In the women's division, Becky Lynch has carried both the RAW and SmackDown women's titles after WrestleMania. However, on Monday Night RAW, Lynch's first feud was confirmed to be with Lacey Evans, the upstart former NXT Superstar, who looks to outmuscle "The Man." Becky will have to defend her titles against Evans and against her longtime rival, Charlotte Flair,in two separate matches at Money in the Bank. Is Lynch overlooking Evans or will make good on her promise to tap out Lacey before she even breaks a sweat?

Bray Wyatt was the talk of the wrestling world last Monday when he debuted his new gimmick as a creepy children's television show host. After one week, the WWE Universe is curious to see what will happen next on Firefly Fun House.

There's a lot of developments for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view expected to go down tonight and we have a running list of everything that happened on Monday.
