10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (May 30)

Advertised at the top of the show would be a 'Last Chance' bout to establish the final entrant in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match. Those who lost qualifiers on last week's Raw and SmackDown would be entered into the elimination situation. That means the field would be comprised of Sheamus, Apollo Crews, Dolph Ziggler, Zack Ryder and AJ Styles.

Of course, The Miz lost his match to Cesaro on Raw, but he would be explained as missing because he had a 'Champion vs. Champion' showdown later on the program. Staying around ringside, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson would help AJ win, only thickening the plot between the trio.

Lastly eliminating Ziggler, Styles would again be unhappy that The Club had helped him win the match. Reiterating his words from the previous week, he'd tell Gallows and Anderson that they had to let him do things on his own.

Not only does this slot AJ into the Money In The Bank affair, it also gives his former buddies the motivation to fully turn on him somewhere down the road.
