Fans are still talking about the end of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, but less than 24 hours later Monday Night RAW will address the fallout from the controversial show.

Brock Lesnar returned to WWE and won the Money in the Bank briefcase to close out the show. He can now challenge the WWE or Universal Champion anytime, anywhere. It seems likely that The Beast will set his sights on "The Beastslayer" Seth Rollins and regain his Universal Championship.

Lesnar may not be on RAW tonight, but you can expect his advocate Paul Heyman to hype his client for what seems to be an inevitable rematch.

Also on the MITB show, it was teased that legend Mick Foley will appear on Monday Night RAW to announce a brand new championship to WWE. What could this new title be? Foley is a hardcore legend so it could be the return of the Hardcore Championship, or a new women's title because Mick is a huge proponent for the division.

Becky Lynch successfully defended the RAW Women's Championship against Lacey Evans, but could not defeat Charlotte Flair. Although Bayley would save Becky from a double team and eventually cash-in (and win) against Charlotte, how will Lynch respond to losing one of her titles? It seems Becky and Lacey's feud is not done but will anyone else from the RAW women's division step up to The Man?

The Usos defeated the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Daniel Bryan and Rowan, on the MITB kickoff show in non-title action. So what will Jimmy and Jey do next? They are members of the RAW roster but can they use the "Wild Card Rule" to challenge for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships again? Will they continue their feud with The Revival? Or will they do both? We'll just have to wait and see what they decide to do on Monday.

It's expected to be a packed Monday Night RAW. Here's everything that happened on the May 20 episode of RAW.
