WWE Money in the Bank 2016: Ranking the participants

Let’s not fool ourselves, there is some real drama here – the kind we not seen in years.

According to speculations, the Cena-Styles feud, which started when the leader of Cenation returned from a five-month break necessitated by his shoulder injury, will even last up to SummerSlam.

Yes, Styles is right. How it would look different with less championships and more popularity for the Indy upstart.

Even though WWE reserves four hours for Wrestlemania, the tradition was broken off past year and it looks like WWE SummerSlam 2016 will be four and half hour worth of wrestling and feud goodness. I called him over the last time I saw him, which was before he got into that string of really good matches, and we’d never met.

“I told Vince I was not going to change [expletive]”, said Austin. Rick Flair went over Harley Race.

We take you through this week’s Monday Night Raw as it’s contract signing time and the Ambrose Asylum is back in town.

It has me salivating a little bit.

Rollins is still clearly the best of the three on the mic and in the ring. Will it be with a contract in his hand? No. Is Ambrose turning heel?

As for the other Money in the Bank ladder match participants, Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho and Alberto Del Rio, will likely be booked in yet another tag match that will keep Owens or Zayn as another viable contender for the briefcase this Sunday. The former champion and “The Guy” will attempt to tear down the walls in Las Vegas after the Cena-Styles match.

– Shame that the actual main event segment just doesn’t mean anything anymore. But will the actions of Ambrose at WWE Raw alter those odds?

Watching Chris Jericho hold the MITB briefcase at the end of Raw means he won’t win Sunday night. He’s already gotten plenty of title shots in the past two years, and he hasn’t dropped so far down the card that he needs to win this match to get more. If the match follows the normal route, Reigns is a heavy favorite.

Wyatt’s cryptic messages on Twitter made me think he would return Monday.

After mostly everyone is laid out outside of the ring, Luke Gallows gets the blind tag, and takes advantage of Kofi Kingston’s confusion to team with Karl Anderson and hit Kingston with the Magic Killer.
