Tonight Seth Rollins was supposed to defend his World Heavyweight Championship, and we got no open challenge because Seth Rollins was attacked by Finn Ballard.

So we never got that open challenge. Of course, Rollins is defending his World Heavyweight Championship tomorrow night on NXT against Braun Breaker, who made a very brief cameo on the show tonight.

A show tonight that got off to a wild start, and then after that wild start pretty much just settled into a typical average episode of RAW, very dull show for the most part.

Until that main event, we had a hot main event, Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Sammy Zane taking on the judgment day to close things out in Cleveland tonight.

Speaking of Cleveland, we had on this show the return of Logan Paul for the first time since WrestleMania, for the first time since his loss to Seth Rollins, we had Logan Paul on the show.

And as I said, on the podcast, I said that there was a reason Logan Paul was being announced for RAW tonight, because we have a paper view coming up, and therefore he would find his way into that money in the bank match somehow, because it's the only thing that made sense.

Why else would Logan Paul be appearing on RAW now, instead of on RAW coming out of money in the bank, heading into Summerslam, sure enough?

Tonight we found out the reason why Logan Paul is back, Logan Paul is back because he is going to be in the men's money in the bank ladder match in London next month.

That automatically makes him the odds on favorite to win money in the bank this year.

But interestingly enough, even though we've been sitting through weeks of qualifying matches, Logan Paul did not have to qualify.

All Logan Paul had to do was go to WWE management and simply ask to be inserted into the match.

Why is that? Because WWE is filled with star fuckers. That's why. And if you're a celebrity, you're going to get what you want.

So they gave him what he wanted and boom, just like that he's in money in the bank.

He was not the only one to return on RAW tonight though. We also have the return of Tomaso Champa, who we've not seen in a very long time.

He was in action tonight on the show. And Trish Stratus wrestled her first singles match on Monday night RAW in 12 years.

She was in a money in the bank qualifying match tonight against Raquel Rodriguez.

And Trish Stratus is in money in the bank. And the reason she is in money in the bank is because of all people, Becky Lynch.

An unintended assist from Becky Lynch has now put Trish Stratus in her first ever money in the bank match.

And those were the highlights of what overall again outside of the open and that very hot main event felt like a pretty average episode of Monday night RAW.

This is your Monday night RAW review for June 19, 2023. I am the Salamonster.

I have a very busy week ahead of me, which is why this review might be shorter than usual because my goal tonight is to power through this review as quickly as possible.

So we shall see if I'm able to do that because I have a very early wake up, a very early drive in the morning for a business trip.
