Monday’s show saw the build begin for the Money in the Bank show featuring three qualifying matches with Asuka vs. Ruby Riott, Shayna Baszler vs. Sarah Logan, and Kairi Sane vs. Nia Jax.

The show was focused around Drew McIntyre taking on Andrade in a rematch from their TakeOver: War Games match in November 2017.

Plus, Seth Rollins is resurrected right after Easter, Bobby Lashes out at Lana, and 70-year old Jerry Lawler travels to Florida for Raw.

Can someone explain to me why Sarah Logan was (essentially) declared a winner after a referee stoppage, due to her being incapable to continue? Did I miss something (essential)? (essential) Announcer botch, a new hidden (essential) rule? If she was (essentially) disqualified for kicking too much ass, she would have to ACTUALLY be kicking too much ass beforehand, no? Not being DQ-ed for a (essential) move that she does in every match of hers.

… essentially…

Edit: Ah, the announcer botched it, OK. It took them couple of commercial breaks to inform us, but they are excused.

So Seth Rollins loses at Wrestlemania, but looks like he’s getting a WWE Championship match probably at Money At The Bank. If this was the case then why have him lose at Mania. It reminds me of when Ryback lost to Mark Henry at Mania but challenged Cena at the next PPV.

Well, suddenly they are out of top tear heels. One would think they could’ve built one before WM, but oh well, it’s the WWE.

BTW I guess KO is staying at home, cause he was nowhere to be found (or even mentioned) on the show?

I thought that about Kevin Owens too
