It is not very often that WWE's creative team ends the flagship show with the kind of cliffhanger that leaves the audience wanting more. Last week's episode of RAW saw the debut of The Wyatt Sicks, and, Jey Uso who activated the fireflies after becoming the first entrant in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

After Main Event Jey qualified for the Men's MITB Ladder Match last week, one of Braun Strowman, Chad Gable, or Bronson Reed will be joining Uso in the coveted bout, with the qualifying Triple Threat Match set for this upcoming edition of RAW. Gable was seen covered in blood and knocked out cold by The Wyatt Sicks, however, he has since been medically cleared to compete.

It appears Bronson Reed is hungry to climb up the ladder and retrieve the MITB briefcase more than anyone else. Doing this almost guarantees him a championship win in the future. Reed is yet to hold a single title on the main roster.

Taking to Instagram, the 35-year-old, Australian wrestler looked back at his career in Wrestle Rampage, NJPW, and his first stint with WWE in NXT, sharing clips of him putting ladders to use in some of his old matches.

"Someone said something about ladder matches??? #BIG #BRONSONREED #WRESTLERAMPAGE #NJPW #WWE," he wrote.

You can check out his post below:

In May at Backlash France, Big Bronson Reed failed to capture the Intercontinental Championship from Sami Zayn in a Triple Threat Match also featuring Chad Gable.

If he qualifies and eventually prevails in the Men's MBITB Ladder Match on July 6, Reed could choose to resume his rivalry with Zayn or he could go after any of the other titles in the company. As per the MITB contract, the winner can challenge for any championship, regardless of brand.


Adam Pearce's message with regard to Chad Gable's status for WWE RAW

During WWE SmackDown this past Friday night, a video was shared on X (formerly Twitter) in which Adam Pearce announced that despite what transpired in the closing moments of RAW last week, Chad Gable was fine and cleared to compete.

Gable was once again added to the upcoming Triple Threat Match qualifier after it was initially reported that Ilija Dragunov had replaced the 29-year-old. It remains to be seen if Dragunov will receive a shot some other way.

Pearce had also noted that WWE's social media accounts had been hacked but assured the fans that the issues had been addressed and the accounts had been restored. However, the message was interrupted several times by static and flashing images.

"Despite that attack and despite being severely shaken up, Chad Gable is medically cleared and will compete this Monday in a triple threat qualifying match for Money in the Bank ladder match against Braun Strowman and 'Big' Bronson Reed," Pearce said. [From 0:19 to 0:37]

The RAW General Manager later commended Gable on social media for his tenacity and fortitude before taking a shot at those who assumed the latter was "shot in the head" last week.
