Take a deep breath, because there are six whole weeks until the next WWE pay-per-view. Money In The Bank will take place on 17 June, and that means (for the first time in a good while) the company will have a decent chunk of time to build excitement.

That hasn't been the case since the turn of the year, and it's a welcome change of pace following a whirlwind WrestleMania season that was quickly followed by another major stadium show in Saudi Arabia mere weeks later.

On the Backlash post-show, The Miz revealed that he would be working a qualifying match for MITB on Tuesday's episode of SmackDown. It makes sense to believe then that WWE will also book qualifiers on tonights Raw, and a report from WWE seems to confirm that.

WWE's news bulletin asked, "will tonight's Raw see the first Superstars qualify for the Men's and Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Matches?". It's unlikely that an official company statement would tease that happening without delivering on Raw, so fans can expect the first round of qualifying matches to take place this Monday.
