Intercontinental title match set for Monday’s WWE Raw
The Intercontinental Championship will again be on the line as Raw comes to London on Monday night.
Rollins vs. Kevin Owens has been announced for tomorrow’s show, which will be taped at the O2 Arena. It was teased that Rollins would be issuing another open challenge, and WWE put out a video where Owens responded to him.
Rollins issued his first open challenge on last Monday’s Raw, defeating Mojo Rawley. He also defended the Intercontinental title against Finn Balor the week before that and went on to retain against The Miz at Backlash.
Owens lost a Money in the Bank qualifying match to Braun Strowman last week. Strowman, Finn Balor, Miz, and Rusev have qualified for the men’s ladder match, while Ember Moon and Charlotte Flair have won spots in the women’s match. There will be more qualifiers on this week’s television.
The New Day vs. Cesaro & Sheamus on Tuesday’s SmackDown will decide another Money in the Bank participant, with one member from the winning team joining the men’s ladder match. SmackDown will also be taped in London, with Andrade “Cien” Almas and Zelina Vega set to debut after being called up in the Superstar Shakeup.
