Seht Rollins announced on WWE’s Main Event that a 2nd Money In The Bank Ladder Match has been added to the pay-per-view. This will be traditional Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Rollins also announced that he is the 1st participant in the match.
The latest issue of WWE Magazine (June 2014) is promoting Chris Jericho as a current WWE Superstar. Hyping next month’s Money In The Back pay-per-view, which takes place in Boston, Massachusetts, the new issue spotlights 4 WWE Superstars with history in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match that has yet to bring down the briefcase. Those Superstars are Cody Rhodes, Christian, Kofi Kingston & Jericho. In the write-up about Jericho’s history in the annual bout, he is depicted as returning to the ring.
Ok, I need to get caught up on a few things since I was unexpectedly away from computer activity for 
several days.
First, I thoroughly enjoyed the Money in the Bank PPV. The final match with Cena winning the MITB contract was outstanding. I believe he and Jericho stole the show. I’m still shaking my head over Cena putting Big Show through the announce table. My only real disappointment of the night was the AJ/Punk/Bryan triangle. Don’t get me wrong, the match itself was brutally exciting, but the lead up with AJ’s part being so good, I thought the ending to that match was disappointing.
I also wanted to mention that live blogging is much more difficult than what it sounds. As a fan, I wanted to be glued to every second. But we wanted to provide our viewers an up-to-date account of the event. I hope you enjoyed it, and even though we will not be doing it all the time, the plan is to do so on special occasions, which will be announced in advance.
With that said, expect us to have tons of coverage of the RAW 1000 event on Monday. Trevor and I are still finalizing how we will cover this, but I believe it will be a very special night for WWE fans old and new.
My apologies for not getting a more detailed update of MITB as I had planned, as well as not doing my normal RAW Recap. Those few days away from the computer were a killer for me and staying current.
I need to check how Trevor and I did on our predictions for MITB.
WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS R-TRUTH & KOFI KINGSTON VS. HUNICO & CAMACHO
Trevor and I both predicted that R-Truth and Kofi would win.
MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH FOR A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CONTRACT
I predicted Tyson Kidd, Trevor couldn’t decide between Kidd and Sin Cara. Both of us were wrong as Dolph Ziggler walked out with the briefcase.
MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH FOR A WWE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTRACT
Ed’s Prediction: Crank up “Break The Walls Down” cause it’s gonna be Chris Jericho.Trevor’s Response: Not to sure on this one but I’ll go with John Cena.
Way to go Trevor, and John Cena. As I said earlier I think Cena and Jericho stole the show and I’m very happy for Cena.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SHEAMUS VS. ALBERTO DEL RIO
Trevor and I both correctly picked Sheamus.
WWE CHAMPION CM PUNK VS. DANIEL BRYAN
I predicted that AJ would turn heel and help Bryan defeat Punk. Trevor couldn’t decide who would win the match but had this to say about AJ: “All eyes will be on AJ she wins either way.”
I was for sure wrong on my prediction and I will leave it up to everyone reading this to decide how to take Trevor’s comment. AND is it just me or does Trevor kinda have a thing for AJ? But wait, what man in his right mind wouldn’t – so never mind.
Finally, I am really looking forward to RAW 1000. We had hoped to break the news that we would be covering the event live in St. Louis. That didn’t happen, but don’t forget 8 pm eastern with DX leading off the show. ARE YOU READY?
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.
Personal feelings aside, it was an honor to be in the ring with the two absolute best in the world, @CMPunk & @WWEDanielBryan . I’m lucky.

HE MADE A PROMISE AND HE KEPT IT……… JOHN CENA ENDS MONEY IN THE BANK ON EMOTIONAL HIGH
Last night’s pay-per-view event ended with the emotional victory by John Cena winning his first ever “Money In The Bank” match. As the match ended the crowd was so loud and the emotions were so high that when the briefcase finally came off the cable it was attached to it sounded as if the roof to the arena was going to collapse. You could littarly hear all the young John Cena fans in tears.
R-Truth and Kofi take this pre-PPV match. They look good in the win.
Good match with everyone having a chance at the briefcase. EXXXCCCUUSSE ME – Dolph Zigler brings home the briefcase.
Last match of the night and it didn’t disappoint. Highlight was Cena backdropping Big Show through the announce table!. Amazing.
Add to that Cena secures the briefcase and CenaNation goes home happy.
Del Rio dominated most of the match working on Sheamus’ left arm, but the Sheamus comes out the winner.
AJ, the guest referee surprising doesn’t screw anyone in this match, which was brutal from both Superstars. AJ was injured early in the match and was taken to the back, but later returned. After Punk put Bryan through at table, AJ counts 1-2-3 and Punk retains the title.
Fantastic night of PPV and I’ll be back tomorrow with more in depth results and the results of the other matches not list. There will be some opinions on the AJ situation as well.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
