This week's episode of WWE RAW is the final stop for the red brand on the road to Money in the Bank Premium Live Event. The MITB Ladder Match cards will finally be complete following tonight's show, but one name has revealed that she will be missing tonight's edition.

Ahead of RAW, Jackie Redmond took to her Instagram stories to let the WWE Universe know that she won't be present backstage for tonight's go-home episode before Money in the Bank PLE. You can check out her Instagram story in the screengrab below or by clicking here.

Jackie Redmond didn't reveal reasons for her absence, but this comes just a week after Pat McAfee was forced to miss the previous edition of the show, at the last minute. It is unclear if McAfee will be back behind the commentary desk for tonight's episode and if his absence is tied into the storyline with Wyatt Sicks.

Redmond is expected to be replaced by Byron Saxton who often steps in as a backstage announcer, especially given Kayla Braxton's recent departure.


This is WWE's final stop on the road to Money in the Bank

Money in the Bank takes place this weekend and there are only a few places left in the annual Ladder Matches, which will be decided tonight on RAW.

This week's show will also feature a Women's World Championship match between Liv Morgan and Zelina Vega. And in a WrestleMania rematch, a grudge match between Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik is also scheduled for tonight, courtesy of Morgan.

Xavier Woods and Karrion Kross will finally step in the ring one-on-one after their match was scrapped from last week's show and the next step in the plans of Wyatt Sicks could finally be revealed.

It is expected to be a stacked episode with the final build-up to Money in the Bank and WWE Superstars Seth Rollins, Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, and CM Punk are all expected to play a role in the show.
