New WWE Title Announced on Raw
During the Money in the Bank event, WWE announced that Mick Foley would be debuting a new championship on Monday night. Speculation has arisen that it will be a new Hardcore Championship, given Foley’s history. Foley was given the original Hardcore Championship by Vince McMahon in 1998.

Other guesses for what the new title could be include six-man tag championships or a WWE Network/Television title.
Reason for Quick Samoa Joe-Mysterio Match
At Money in the Bank, Rey Mysterio quickly pinned Samoa Joe to win the United States Championship. According to PWInsider, the match was hurried to the conclusion due to an injury. Samoa Joe broke his nose during the match, causing bleeding and the hasty end to the match.

The decision was made for the match to end early and go forward with the post-match angle of Joe attacking Mysterio. The match ending had controversy as well, as Joe’s shoulder was noticeably up on the winning pinfall.
