It's the first WWE show after Stomping Grounds and the results from Sunday night will be felt on tonight's Monday Night RAW.

One of two confirmed matches of the night is a two-on-one handicap match featuring Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre versus Roman Reigns. Reigns defeated McIntyre after overcoming Shane's constant interference but the boss' son won't take the loss lying down. Shane wants to assert his dominance over Roman and plans to do so tonight.

The second confirmed match of the night will be the one-on-one bout between the new United States Champion, Ricochet, and AJ Styles. Ricochet won his first main roster title on Sunday, defeating Samoa Joe. However, AJ and The Club (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) took part in Ricochet's photo shoot after the match so The Phenomenal One could challenge the new champ to a match on RAW.

WWE.com has confirmed that the match tonight won't be for the United States Championship, but one would think that if Styles wins he will be first in line for the title.

The main event of Stomping Grounds saw Seth Rollins fend off Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans to retain his Universal Championship thanks to the help of Becky Lynch. Now that the dust has settled, will Corbin and Evans continue their quest to take out Seth and Becky or will other challengers step up?

A lot is expected to go down on the June 24 episode of Monday Night RAW. Here's everything that happened.
