Stipulation added to Kevin Owens WWE Raw match

Posted on by Joseph Currier

It appears that a new men’s Money in the Bank ladder match participant will be confirmed on tonight’s episode of Raw.

Kevin Owens is set to face Ezekiel (or his older brother Elias or younger brother Elrod) on Raw tonight. On Twitter this morning, WWE indicated that it will now be a Money in the Bank qualifying match.

“TONIGHT: @FightOwensFight will get his chance to qualify for the Men’s #MITB Ladder Match! His opponent could be either Ezekiel, Elias or Elrod (the younger brother of @IAmNotEliasWWE). Will we be meeting a new member of the family? #WWERaw”

Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Omos, Sheamus, and Sami Zayn have already qualified for the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas is hosting Money in the Bank this Saturday (July 2).

On WWE television, Owens has been attempting to prove that Ezekiel and Elias are the same person ever since Ezekiel started appearing on Raw this April. Following Elias’ return to Raw last week, Owens challenged Ezekiel, Elias, or “their even younger brother that we haven’t met yet” Elrod to face him on tonight’s show. Ezekiel accepted Owens’ challenge.

Tonight’s Raw will also feature John Cena’s return to WWE TV. Cena is returning to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his WWE debut.

Kevin Owens vs. Ezekiel, Elias, or Elrod set for next week’s WWE Raw

One match has been announced for the June 27 WWE Raw episode. 

Kevin Owens will face Ezekiel in a singles match on next week’s Raw. 

After a backstage vignette on this week’s episode where Ezekiel was seen speaking to his brother Elias, Elias held a concert in the ring. Owens interrupted the concert, but was then interrupted himself by a promo by Ezekiel appearing on the video wall. Elias then hit Owens with a guitar. 

Later in the show in a backstage promo, Owens challenged Ezekiel, Elias, or their yet to be introduced younger brother Elrod, to a match next week. Ezekiel then appeared and accepted the challenge. 

The Elrod mention appeared to be a throwaway comedy line in a promo by Owens, but Elrod was included on a graphic promoting the match for next week’s episode. 

Next week’s lineup:

WWE Raw, Monday, June 27 —

  • Kevin Owens vs. Ezekiel, Elias, or Elrod
