State of US title to be addressed on next week’s WWE Raw
The status of the United States Championship will be addressed on next Monday’s episode of Raw.
That segment comes after the US title match at Money in the Bank ended in controversy. Rey Mysterio won the title from Samoa Joe at the pay-per-view, with Joe having his shoulder up while Mysterio pinned him.
Video of a promo from Joe aired on Raw tonight. Joe said he’d give Mysterio the opportunity to give the US title back to him. Joe called on Mysterio to be the man Mysterio wants his son Dominick to be, then ended the promo by threatening Mysterio.
Mysterio didn’t appear on tonight’s Raw after he was injured at Money in the Bank. Joe also hurt his nose at the PPV.
After Mysterio won the US title on Sunday, there was a post-match angle where Joe attacked Mysterio in front of Dominick.
The Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri is hosting next week’s Memorial Day edition of Raw. WWE is also hyping that Brock Lesnar will announce whether he’s going to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase for a shot at the Universal or WWE Championship. When and where Lesnar will be getting his title shot has yet to be revealed.
