#Raw1000 Shockers: AJ Named Raw GM (@WWEAJLee)

With all the media attention on Raw’s 1000th episode Monday night the fact that the folks in charge of creative were able to keep this from getting out should be applauded! The WWE Universe and AJ fans were in for a real surprise when it came time for the highly anticipated wedding between Daniel Bryan and AJ.

For all the hype fans were still left in the dark with little to no hints as to how the segment would turn out. It was clear to us as we’re sure it was to the WWE creative team that the WWE Universe did not want to see the couple wed.

After a long troubled relationship with Bryan AJ fans were eager to see something good happen to AJ and wow did the WWE deliver. During their vows AJ did anwser yes but not for the reason you would think.

We found out that earlier in the evening AJ was offered another proposal but not the kind you would think. It turned out to be a major business proposal from the boss himself Mr. McMahon. AJ was named the new general manager of Raw beginning next week.

AJ LEAVES US WITH NO ANSWERS AND MORE CONFUSED AS SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE

CM PUNK DEFEATS DANIEL BRYAN…… AJ LEAVES US CONFUSED WITH NO ANSWERS

We hoped to bring you some breaking developments in the continuing saga of the madness known as AJ. Unfortunately that was not the case. Aside from playing a few little mind games the match went pretty smooth with the exception of AJ getting temporarily injured at the beginning. She counted the pin falls fairly and she did not screw either one over a victory.

Trevor’s Response To Ed’s Challenge: Money In The Bank Predictions

Imagine my surprise when I was notified that our very own Ed Boston had issued a challenge to me to share my predictions for tonight’s “Money In The Bank” pay-per-view! If that’s the way he wants it here we go.

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS R-TRUTH & KOFI KINGSTON VS. HUNICO & CAMACHO

Should be a great match with plenty of action. I don’t think that Truth and Kofi are ready to give up the belts just yet.

Ed’s Prediction: R-Truth and Kofi Kingston keep the WWE Tag Team belts.

Trevor’s Response: I agree with you, although things can happen especially at a big pay-per-view event. 

MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH FOR A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CONTRACT

Damien Sandow, Tyson Kidd, Intercontinental Champion Christian, United States Champion Santino Marella, Tensai, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Sin Cara are the participants in the match that should provide everyone watching a high entertainment value. Different styles, different sized competitors, and that ladder stand in the way of all in this match.

Who gets the match against Sheamus (or whoever holds the World Championship Belt)? I wanted to pick Tensai, but I’m going with…..

Ed’s Prediction: Tyson Kidd

Trevor’s Response: Interesting choice, You have so many names involved in this match. Sin Cara has some awesome skills and has a growing following. Who doesn’t like the special spotlight he gets to use on the ring when he competes? That being said Tyson Kidd also has very good in-ring ability and many fans strongly believe he could pull off a victory – Either Tyson Kidd or Sin Cara can’t decide.

MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH FOR A WWE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTRACT

Cena, Big Show, Kane, Jericho – This could be a highlight reel waiting to happen. I am a big fan of each of these superstars and any one of the four could and would deserve to have that Money in the Bank Contract. Obviously Big Show has to be the favorite, and if it was one on one he would certainly be my pick. So much can happen in this match, though and I believe it’s going to come down to Cena and Jericho, my two favorite WWE Superstars.

Ed’s Prediction: Crank up “Break The Walls Down” cause it’s gonna be Chris Jericho.

Trevor’s Response: Big show is a force that needs to be dealt with. He is on a power trip and has this mentality that he can go around and do whatever he wants. That being said you have unquestionably some of the most popular names on the roster right now. This is the first time Cena has entered the Money In The Bank and he seams determand to pick up the win. Not to sure on this one but I’ll go with John Cena. 

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SHEAMUS VS. ALBERTO DEL RIO

Despite the push of Del Rio and his vicious attack on Sheamus with the hood of Del Rio’s car, I’m all in on Sheamus here.

Ed’s Prediction: Sheamus

Trevor’s Response: I would also say Sheamus except for the fact I think Del Rio might have some help from his personal “ring announcer” (cough cough) something doesn’t seam right it would be to easy to assume Sheamus would pick up the win at least not as easily as people think.

WWE CHAMPION CM PUNK VS. DANIEL BRYAN

The match everyone seems to be talking about, but not for the reason most championship matches are hyped. The talk on this match is how will special guest referee and WWE Crazy Chick, AJ affect the outcome. WWE has done fantastic work building the match up for weeks now. AJ has emerged as a real Superstar. Will she help her ex – Daniel Bryan or will she please the crowd and help fan favorite Punk? This is just me thinking, will there be a third person enter the picture (say Jericho after he wins his Money in the Bank), and AJ make a heel turn right in front of our eyes.

Ed’s Prediction: Ok so after throwing out that twist, I’m gonna stay safe and say AJ does turn heel, but it’s by helping Daniel Bryan become the new WWE Champion.

Trevor’s Response: Now your talking! This is the match I personally am looking forward to the most. I love the mind games AJ has played with both CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. Your prediction is a good one. However I have this gut feeling that just maybe this whole thing could have been a big game thought up by Daniel Bryan to mess with CM Punks head. I think AJ is a lot smarter then it looks and to quote Jerry The King Lawler there is “a method to her madness”. I just can’t figure out what exactly. Do I think she’s going to be a fair referee either way? NO NO NO she will screw someone out of a victory for sure. The quesion is who? – Anwser I can’t predict a winner for sure. All eyes will be on AJ she wins either way.

Ed’s Money In The Bank Predictions

I’m gonna throw down against my partner Trevor and challenge him to make his predictions for tonight’s WWE Money in the Bank Pay-per-View. We will see then who comes out on top with these 5 predictions and who will be able to talk “SMACK” after it’s over.

The match between Daniel Bryan and CM Punk with AJ as the special guest referee has a lot of history to it. However to truly understand AJ’s current situation and state of mind there are a few moments you must watch before the championship mach.

#1 After publicly breaking up with AJ in front of the entire WWE universe Daniel Bryan tells AJ he wishes she was never born. Many believe this was the moment her mental breakdown began April 20, 2012.

#3 The following week an emotionally distraught AJ slaps her best friend Kaitlyn backstage.

WWE.com: Why Daniel Bryan deserves no mercy from AJ at Money in the Bank

WWE.com takes a detailed in-depth look at AJ’s emotional downward spiral and her troubled relationship with Daniel Bryan as we approach “Money In The Back” this Sunday.The detailed article by Tom Herrera includes links to all the important moments and an entire video playlist of AJ’s off-the-wall acts.

WWE.com

Mentally unstable. Emotionally fragile. Wildly unpredictable. Over the last several weeks, AJ has been labeled all of these things leading up to her appearance as special guest referee at Money in the Bank when CM Punk defends the WWE Title against DanielBryan. On the surface, it all seems to be true, but labels can be misleading. At her core, perhaps AJ is just a woman who knew exactly what she wanted … before she had her heart ripped out and trampled in front of millions watching on television.
