Rollins won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by defeating AJ Styles in a tournament for the title at WWE Night of Champions. His match on the June 5 episode of WWE RW is set to be the first televised defense of the title.

Damian Priest of the Judgment Day subsequently accepted the challenge.

During the June 2 episode of WWE SmackDown, WWE confirmed that Rollins will defend the title against Priest on RAW.

The June 5 episode of WWE RAW will also feature two Money in the Bank qualifying matches; Becky Lynch will face Sonya Deville, and Zoey Stark will clash with Natalya.

WrestleZone will have coverage of WWE RAW as it airs on Monday.
