School is finally done for most, and while some people have graduated, others move on to the next grade. That happens in the WWE as well, as we get to that time of the year when they like to do their draft. With Jordynne Grace and Stephanie Vaquer moving up to the main rosters, they have graduated because of their popularity and skill set. With no draft day planned as of yet, we’re going to keep plugging away at these storylines as we head towards Money in the Bank, this Saturday. Have a great day, everyone and may the slams be with you.
John Cena: John Cena squashed R-Truth so badly that the WWE decided to release him afterwards. Now I know that this isn’t what really happened, but what did happen was an exciting build for the match at Money in the Bank. John Cena and Logan Paul ran a shoot on Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes last week, which led to all four facing off in the ring. This match is going to be insane, so let’s get ready for an epic night this Saturday.
“Main Event” Jey Uso: Jey Uso is being lumped in with everyone for this tag match Saturday, which helps move everyone’s story along, for now. That being said, I feel Cody and Jey will win this week before we see what’s next for the WWE World Heavyweight Champion heading towards Summerslam. However, I could see Gunther spoiling this match which would then set up a rematch at Summerslam with Jey.
Seth “Freakin” Rollins: Seth Rollins cashed in on his chance for the Money in the Bank match after defeating Finn Balór and Sami Zane. Immediately afterwards, Seth found himself on the receiving end of a GTS delivered by C.M. Punk. I feel that Seth is a favorite to win the MITB match, but with Punk being involved this much, I don’t see him letting this happen.
Bron Breakker: Bron Breakker takes a backseat this week since he practically got the week off, but still accompanied Seth to the ring for a vignette. That means Bron stays where he’s at, leading into Monday Night RAW tonight.
C.M. Punk: C.M. Punk has his eyes set on Paul Heyman and will fight anyone or any faction that stands in his way. As I said, Punk’s sole purpose is to make Seth’s life a living hell. Punk can do that this Saturday if he can foil Seth’s plans of winning the MITB briefcase once again.
L.A. Knight: L.A. Knight cashed in his opportunity to be in the Money in the Bank match by beating Aleister Black and Shinsuke Nakamura. Since then, it’s been quite for Knight other than Aleister Black trying to get into his head while Drew McIntyre continues his role of instigating the feud between them.
Cody Rhodes: Cody Rhodes is looking forward to MITB this week so he can finally get his hands on Cena. Even though the Final Boss has yet to make an appearance, I wouldn’t count that out if they wanted to distract Cody for Summerslam. That would mean a match between Cody and the Rock at Summerslam, opening the door for another Cena squash match at the summer’s biggest party.
Jacob Fatu: Jacob Fatu makes his debut on the power rankings this week due to his rising popularity and amazing push he’s getting right now. Fatu is still having problems with Solo Sikoa and J.C. Mateo sticks their noses in his business. This led to Jimmy Uso coming back to help him with this situation but that led to Andrade winning the triple-threat match they were in for a Money in the Bank spot.
Gunther: Gunther has been keeping himself relevant by continuously running into Jey. They keep going back and forth with this promo ending by Jey telling Gunther that he’s going to tap him out again. Gunther has never been the one to let people have an edge over him so that’s why I feel this week he costs Cody and Jey the match at MITB.
Roman Reigns: Roman Reigns is still off of T.V. and should be back shortly. With so many Samoans running around calling out shots, the Original Tribal Chief will be left to clean this mess up. That should start with Solo but Roman will soon find out it didn’t take Sikoa long to find help within the family. This should either play out going into Money in the Bank or maybe the WWE will keep Roman off T.V., keeping him fresh for Summerslam.
