WWE Raw May 26: Seth Rollins defeats Sami Zayn and Finn Balor to book Money in the Bank spot
Seth Rollins is officially in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. He outlasted Sami Zayn and Finn Balor in a wild triple threat on Monday Night Raw, but it took more than just wrestling to get the win.
Zayn attacked Rollins before the bell and the match quickly became chaotic. All three men fought all over the ring and ringside area, hitting high-impact moves and exchanging momentum. At one point, Balor hit a double DDT on both opponents and nearly won. Zayn landed a moonsault to the floor and got a huge reaction when he paid tribute to the late Sabu. Rollins looked to close it out with a Pedigree, but everyone kept kicking out.
As the match neared its end, the interference began. Zayn lined up for a Helluva Kick, but Bron Breakker pulled him from the ring. Bronson Reed followed with a brutal attack. Jey Uso rushed in to help Zayn and fought off both men, but the numbers game caught up. Dominik Mysterio slid a chair into the ring, hoping to help Balor finish the job. Before he could use it, Rollins landed a perfect stomp on Balor's head right onto the steel chair to score the victory.
Seth Rollins wins the match, but CM Punk gets the last laugh

With Rollins celebrating and The Visionary standing tall, he ordered more damage on Uso. But that's when CM Punk's music hit to a massive ovation. Breakker and Reed ran to the ramp looking for him, but Punk had already slipped through the crowd. He entered the ring from behind and dropped Rollins with a Go To Sleep before escaping again. Paul Heyman looked on, completely stunned, as Raw went off the air.
Rollins now joins Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, and Penta in the Money in the Bank match, but after Punk's attack, the story might just be getting started.

3 directions for Samantha Irvin that could have happened during her WWE tenure
Image via WWE Samantha Irvin could have explored new directions in WWE if she had been given the opportunity. Samantha Irvin rose to prominence as one of the captivating and enthralling WWE ring announcers of the modern era. Her distinctive voice, taking her antics to the next level, and her unique style made her a prominent figure in the company. However, Irvin shocked her esteemed fanbase by announcing her resignation from WWE last summer. Irvin stated that she only took up the role of ring announcing to transition into more directions within the WWE. Not only that, her music aspirations also contributed to her WWE departure. However, had the regime decided to give her that opportunity to explore more, here are three directions for Samantha Irvin that could have presented her in a different way on WWE television: 3. Second in command to a WWE authority figure Samantha Irvin had a remarkable presence on WWE television programming. She could have followed in the footsteps of past wrestlers like Stacy Keibler and Eve Torres. They were in-ring competitors, but took the role of assistants to the authority figures on WWE television. This could have been a new direction that could have been exciting for Irvin and possibly not led to her exit from the Stamford-based promotion. 2. Manager Another possible role for Samantha Irvin that could have occurred in WWE was that of a wrestling manager. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The most obvious choice for Irvin to manage would have been her now husband, Ricochet. He was a mid-card attraction for the company, and pairing up with his wife would have been an exciting booking for his career, too. Moreover, this could have happened during Ricochet's feud with Logan Paul when he brought up Irvin, which could have been a stellar sight to witness. 1. Occasional wrestler While many fans may be unaware, Samantha Irvin has undergone training to become an in-ring athlete. She could have created history by becoming the first WWE ring announcer to also step in the ring. She could have had occasional feuds with top stars of the women's division that would have seen her compete in singles and tag team matches. Irvin handling double duties, both as a wrestler and a wrestler, would have made Monday Night RAW a must-see program, especially during her onscreen time.

Will Adam Pearce replace Jey Uso at MITB 2025 with a WWE veteran?
Things are looking rough for Jey Uso heading into Money in the Bank 2025. On this week's episode of Monday Night RAW, Seth Rollins and his crew launched a vicious attack on Jey. To make matters worse, Bronson Reed hit him with multiple Tsunamis, leaving fans seriously worried about how Jey's holding up—especially with a huge tag team match just days away. Jey is scheduled to team up with Cody Rhodes this Saturday to take on John Cena and Logan Paul. But after what went down on RAW, there's real concern he won't be cleared to compete. And that's not the only thing on Jey's plate. He's also got to defend his World Heavyweight Title against Gunther next week on RAW. Between that and all the enemies he's got right now—Rollins' crew, Cena and Logan, and Gunther—he's being pulled in every direction. It's no surprise that RAW GM Adam Pearce might have to step in and pull Jey from the tag match at MITB for the sake of his health. Also Read: 'Why isn't Brock Lesnar getting fired?': Ex-WWE writer questions Adam Pearce If that happens, fans are already speculating about a possible replacement. The most obvious (and dramatic) choice? Jey's own brother, Jimmy Uso. Sure, the two have had their ups and downs, but when it really matters, Jimmy's always shown up for Jey. If Jey can't go, Jimmy stepping in would make for one heck of a moment. That said, nothing is official yet. We still don't know the full extent of Jey's injuries, and Pearce hasn't made any announcements. Meanwhile, Gunther isn't wasting time. The Ring General is locked in on getting his title back from Jey, and he's been pretty vocal about it. He lost to Jey at WrestleMania 41 after tapping out, but on RAW this week, he made it clear he's ready for revenge. 'Because ever since that day I lost to you at WrestleMania, I knew I'd avenge this. And right now? You're making it very, very easy for me. Jey in one week, the party is over.' Gunther clearly thinks Jey's taking on too much—and honestly, he might have a point. Jey hasn't even held the title for two months yet, and while WWE usually lets champs keep the belt a while, this could be one of those rare moments where they shake things up fast. If Jey's not at 100%, Gunther could easily take advantage and walk out with the gold. Jey Uso's got a brutal week ahead of him—if he can even make it to Saturday. And right now, nothing feels guaranteed.
