Exciting Matches and Returns on WWE Raw Scheduled for June 16

WWE Raw June 16 Episode Preview

As WWE Raw gears up for its June 16 episode, fans are buzzing with excitement over the anticipated returns of several superstars. Adam Pearce, the show's general manager, has shared updates on social media, noting that he will be on vacation and Nick Aldis from SmackDown will take over in his absence.

In a highly anticipated match, Liv Morgan, one half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions, is set to face Kairi Sane. This matchup follows a fatal-4-way Queen of the Ring qualifier last week, which was won by Roxanne Perez, leaving both Morgan and Sane eager for redemption after their earlier defeat.

Morgan is also expected to address her recent confrontation with Nikki Bella, a WWE Hall of Famer. During Bella's promotional appearance for the upcoming all-women WWE Evolution 2025 event, Morgan took offense at being overlooked and attacked Bella with her signature move, ObLIVion.

Additionally, Bayley made her return to WWE Raw last week after a lengthy absence due to an injury caused by Becky Lynch. Bayley is now targeting Lynch, who currently holds the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

“After her attack on Nikki Bella, Liv Morgan will not only discuss her actions but will also compete against Kairi Sane this Monday night,” stated the WWE Raw GM in a video shared on her social media.

“Bayley is back. What prompted her to confront Becky Lynch last week? Tune in Monday night to find out,” she added.

The first-round matches for the King and Queen of the Ring tournament will also continue during this episode. Nikki Bella has confirmed her attendance on social media, and there are rumors of a significant return, potentially setting the stage for a retirement match at next month’s Saturday Night’s Main Event.
