Here is your post-Monday Night Raw fight size update for July 3, 2023.

– IYO SKY bumped into WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley and teased cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase.

– Matt Riddle faced Giovanni Vinci. Riddle scored the win, and Ludwig Kaiser quickly attacked him after the bell. Drew McIntyre came out to even the odds. He then stared down WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther.

– Rhea Ripley defended the WWE Women’s World Championship against Natalya. The challenger attacked Ripley during her entrance. Natalya delivered a valiant effort, but Ripley still scored the win with the Riptide. She attacked Natalya after the bell, but Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez made the save.

– WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez came to the ring. They watched from ringside as Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville faced Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell, Nikki Cross and Emma, Dana Brooke and Tegan Nox, and Katana Chance and Kayden Carter clashed in a Tag Team Turmoil Match. Green and Deville emerged victorious to earn a shot at the titles. The match marked Hartwell’s first match on Raw since she was drafted. 

– WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins opened the show. He recapped WWE Money in the Bank and started to turn his attention toward WWE SummerSlam when Cody Rhodes interrupted him. Before Cody could say anything. Brock Lesnar came out. Cody charged up the ramp and took the fight to him. They brawled, and Cody gained the upper hand.

– Seth Rollins was still in the ring after a commercial, but he was interrupted again by The Judgment Day (Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio, and Rhea Ripley). Rollins pointed out that Finn Balor was absent, and Priest skated over that question before he teased cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Rollins. He and Ripley challenged Rollins to face Dominik Mysterio, and Rollins accepted.

– Dominik Mysterio was seemingly renamed “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio.

– Ronda Rousey came to the ring, and she was quickly cut off by Shayna Baszler, who commented on her actions at WWE Money in the Bank. Baszler said she was the reason Rousey was in the ring. She delivered a heated message and said she could shut Rousey up. They brawled, and Baszler got the best of Rousey.

-Becky Lynch came out and called out Trish Stratus. Stratus and Zoey Stark answered the call, and Stratus was wearing a face mask. She said she was not medically cleared because Lynch broke her face. Lynch responded by challenging Zoey Stark to a match. Stratus named the July 10 episode of WWE Raw and the time and place.

– A video package highlighted the Bloodline Civil War at WWE Money in the Bank. WWE announced that highlights of the match were viewed over 40 million times on social media.

– WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins faced Dominik Mysterio. The champion battled it out with Dominik in a hard-fought match, but Damian Priest brought the bout to a premature conclusion by attacking Rollins and forcing the disqualification. Priest continued the assault, but Rollins fought back. Dominik hit Rollins from behind with the Money in the Bank briefcase. Priest was seemingly ready to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, but Finn Balor blindsided Rollins and knocked Priest off the apron.
