Asuka vs. Nia Jax vs. Shayna Baszler set for WWE Raw
The Raw women’s division’s participants for Money in the Bank are set to face off in a triple threat match tonight.
WWE has announced Asuka vs. Nia Jax vs. Shayna Baszler for tonight’s Raw. All three were confirmed for this year’s women’s Money in the Bank ladder match by winning qualifying matches on Raw two weeks ago. Asuka defeated Ruby Riott, Jax defeated Kairi Sane, and Baszler defeated Sarah Logan.
Jax also defeated Sane in a rematch on Raw last week. Baszler defeated Indi Hartwell on last Monday’s show. She stomped on Hartwell’s elbow to get the win and then continued to attack her arm after, putting it between a ladder and kicking it.
SmackDown’s Dana Brooke and Lacey Evans will also be in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match with Asuka, Jax, and Baszler. The final SmackDown participant for the ladder match will be determined when Mandy Rose faces Carmella in a qualifier this Friday.
Money in the Bank is set for Sunday, May 10. The men’s and women’s ladder matches are both taking place at WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. The matches will start on the ground floor, with the briefcases hanging on the roof.
WWE Champion Drew McIntyre is defending his title against Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank. On tonight’s Raw, McIntyre and Rollins will have a contract signing for their match at the PPV.
