The June 8, 2015 edition of WWE's Monday Night Rawwill emanate live from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and will serve as the go-home show for the Money in the Bankpay-per-view on Sunday.

Last week, The Authority made Roman Reigns wrestle three matches in order to keep his spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match. After defeating King Barrett, Mark Henry, and Bray Wyatt, the Authority beat down Reigns until his buddy Dean Ambrose made the save. Earlier in the night, Reigns had helped goad WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins into accepting a rematch with Ambrose for the title at Money in the Bank. Rollins then went off the deep end a little bit, accepted the match, and ranted that he doesn't need anyone's help to take out Ambrose. All evidence has pointed to the contrary on that last portion.

So how will things play out tonight? Last week, Ambrose literally threw the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt at Rollins, only to plant him with Dirty Deeds and take the belt right back. Will Rollins be able to retrieve his property from the Lunatic Fringe, or will Ambrose walk into Money in the Bank hoisting the very title he is trying to win once and for all? And how does Roman Reigns fit into all this? He obviously has his hands full with preparing for the Money in the Bank ladder match, but will he be there to back up his friend if Ambrose needs him?

Speaking of the Money in the Bank ladder match, the participants have all been announced: Reigns, Neville, Dolph Ziggler, Randy Orton, Kane, Sheamus, and Kofi Kingston. The only people who have any chance at all at winning this match are Reigns and Orton. Neville is too early in his main roster career. Kane would be interesting given his history with Rollins, but his time has passed. Ziggler is a wild card, but WWE always seems reluctant to throw its full weight behind him. Sheamus looks stupid. And Kofi Kingston doesn't have enough star power yet, though we can bet he'll have some cool spots in the match.

The prevailing wisdom is that Ambrose will win the title Sunday, and then Reigns will turn on him and cash in the briefcase. WWE definitely seems to be setting this up, especially because Ambrose and Reigns have been extremely buddy-buddy recently despite the fact that they spent months apart doing their own things. Watch closely tonight to see if they really play up the "best friends" angle between Reigns and Ambrose, as this could be an indication of a swerve on Sunday.

Elsewhere, John Cena confronted Kevin Owens after the NXT Champion beat the United States Champion cleanly with a Pop-Up Powerbomb at the Elimination Chamber live event two Sundays ago. The rematch is set for Money in the Bank, and Cena cut a fantastic promo on Owens last week in which he stated quite simply that he will prove in the rematch why the words "Never Give Up" are not just a product of the WWE marketing machine. They are what Cena lives and breathes truly and fully each day. Tonight, will Owens continue to have the upper hand on the 15-time world champion? Or will Cena get some shots in on the NXT Champion before their fight on Sunday?

We also know that The New Day will defend the WWE Tag Team Championships against the Prime Time Players at Money in the Bank. The tag division has been odd recently, but the PTP seem to be getting a push into the spotlight. Will The New Day continue to reign supreme atop the tag scene, or will the newly reunited men who are all about "Millions of Dollars" dethrone them?

Other feuds to watch out for include Paige and Nikki Bella after the former said on Thursday Night SmackDown that she would change the Divas division by removing the Bella Twins, whom she considers to be the source of the problems with the women in WWE. Expect a setup for a match between the two tonight.

Ryback will also likely defend his Intercontinental Championship against Big Show and possibly The Miz on Sunday after Show announced he wanted a shot at the belt last week, so keep an eye out for that tonight.

As always, check back with MStars immediately after the show for a full recap of all the action. But for now, let us know your thoughts, opinions, guesses, and predictions for tonight's show in the comments section.
