Triple H addressing Zack Ryder and John Cena is a good way to start off the show and the match should be something to talk about later on in my review.
Continuing the Jeff Hardy feud with the Wyatt's is great, I would like to see Jeff Hardy perhaps go back to a dark place to find a way to pull off a big victory over Bray himself eventually. I don't know what it is about Jeff Hardy, but I think he is one of the best wrestlers and one of the best talents WWE has ever had, and he has been under utilized, good to see you are using him here.
So glad to see you use another underappreciated wrestler in WWE today, Natalya. Giving the champion momentum going into the pay-per-view means anything can happen, but I hope that Natalya wins the match in the end.
Wasn't surprised at all by Triple H defeating Zack Ryder, even though Ryder did just defeat the champion with John Cena's help.
I like the team with Reigns on it to win the Money in the Bank, but I feel like there will be a swerve and the winner of the actual match will be one of the people from the losing side in this one.
Rey Mysterio and Swagger is bleh to me. Swagger getting out with the help of Colter makes perfect sense.
Having Daniel Bryan win is awesome, shows great resiliency from the champion. Also, having Cena come out afterwards and beating down on Punk is great to add fuel to the fire in a huge match for Cena at MITB. Orton and Daniel Bryan should be a great match as well.

AJ just checked out the final Raw before MITB. As always it was of high standard. I get the impression your enjoying this HHH/Cena/Punk story.
I still think there's a twist in the tale and I don't see either Punk or Cena being champion in the near future.
MITB is being built like all previous MITB matches still seems like it between Reigns or Batista which too my theory means one will be champ soon. Batista even being in this match strikes me as odd so I'm leaning towards Batista winning then teaming with HHH.
Look forward to the PPV to see where you take this.
AJ when you get a chance give TNA50 a look over buddy and leave your thoughts, cheers!

July 11, 2013 from the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia The Smackdown intro video airs as Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield welcome everybody to the Fourth of July show! Tonight, Bryan Danielson and Randy Orton will hold a contract signing for their No Holds Barred Match at Money in the Bank. Also, WWE Hall of Famer and Rated R Superstar Edge will return to host The Cutting Edge with the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank participants ahead of them facing in eight man tag action and their match coming up this weekend! "I'm excited, Michael!" JBL shouts, "I'm even more excited for this Sunday at Money in the Bank!"
The theme music of 'The Rated R Superstar' Edge hits and the WWE Universe explodes as the Hall of Famer makes his way out from the back all fired up! He runs across the stage multiple times and gets the crowd going before making his way to the ring, where the eight Money in the Bank competitors stand waiting for him. The host of The Cutting Edge takes a microphone once in the ring and looks all around at the group. "Well, well, well! It damn sure feels good to be here in Hampton, Virginia on Smackdown!" He gets a big pop from the WWE Universe and he looks all around the ring, "We have a hell of a combination of talented superstars standing in the ring right now... but I have to note that there are two of you that have won the Money in the Bank before... Wade Barrett and Rob Van Dam." He smiles and looks to the two, whom nod to each other. Edge goes to say more but Alberto Del Rio snatches the microphone away and gets furious, "Who cares!? Who cares who has won the Money in the Bank before? None of these seven have the talents that Alberto Del Rio has... and none of them have winning this Sunday as a part of their destiny." Edge slowly takes the microphone away and puts his hands up, telling Del Rio the destiny stuff got old three years ago when he first showed up and he needs to calm his 'chihuahua ass' down. The crowd gives a chuckle as The Rated R Superstar continues on, saying that he has won the Money in the Bank a few times and has cashed in successfully every single time and he wants to offer some advice to those in the Money in the Bank on Sunday. "Don't trust anybody. Don't make any friends. You may be teaming up later on tonight but the guy that stands next to you could cross you any second this Sunday... you can have your alliances but when you two are on top of that ladder and the briefcase is the only thing between you, somebody is going to strike. I've been in enough Money in the Banks and I've sure as hell been in a lot of TLC matches so I know what I'm talking about here!" Fandango takes a deep breath into a microphone of his own as everyone rolls their eyes as he steps into the middle of the ring, waving his arms about. "Edge... don't you understand? Don't you understand that when you've got the best footwork in the entire WWE you can just dance your way to the top?" He gives a smile as The Rated R Superstar apologizes, asking who the hell he is. The crowd laughs as the ballroom dancer looks right at him and goes to pronounce his name, only for Edge to tell him he doesn't care and asks him to shut up to another laugh from the Virginia crowd.
Big E Langston steps up and apologizes to Edge, saying that he respects him but he is doing too much talking about himself. "All of y'all need to recognize that this Sunday at Money in the Bank, Big E is going to end up a big winner!" He nods his head as Mark Henry steps up, staring him down. "You call yourself Big E... but you ain't nothing compared to the World's Strongest Man." They stare down and RVD laughs, stepping up and telling Henry that he probably can't even make it onto the first rung of a ladder. Antonio Cesaro shakes his head and tells all of them that they are mistaken, especially Edge. "You say not trust anybody, Edge, but the Kings of Wrestling trust each other. So these six guys can beat each other up, but the two of us are going to stick together and one of us will be the winner of the Money in the Bank." The group all begin to argue with each other and Henry strikes Langston! The eight men start to brawl as Edge backs off to the corner, laughing at the chaos as tons of referees come rushing down to the ring in order to get control of things ahead of the eight man tag team match coming up later on tonight!
Roman Reigns with Paul Heyman defeats Christian via pinfall The bell rings and Christian runs right into a clothesline from Reigns. He overpowers in the corners and goes for an early Superman Punch, only for Christian to avoid it and deliver a huge dropkick. Captain Charisma gets some momentum going but is nailed with an absolutely vicious Superman Punch out of nowhere! Reigns gets fired up and leans back to the corner, throwing his arms back and roaring to the crowd. He delivers a huge spear as Christian gets up and he hooks both legs up for the three.
The crowd boos as Reigns rises onto his feet, Paul Heyman applauding his client as he enters the ring alongside him with a microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and standing next to me is the biggest thing the WWE has seen since a particular former Paul Heyman guy... this man standing next to me is the man who beat John Cena at Extreme Rules, this man standing next to me is the man who will win the WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match this Sunday over seven other unworthy men! Ladies and gentlemen, this man is the future of this company and he is just getting started.... Rrrrrrrrrrroman! Rrrrrrrreigns!" He raises his client's arm up and the WWE Universe boos as Heyman and Reigns head off towards the ropes and exit the ring.
Returning, a promo video airs for the upcoming Money in the Bank pay-per-view. The video talks about how there are certain points in life where opportunity hangs in the balance and at Money in the Bank, that opportunity literally hangs in the balance. The video highlights the history of the Money in the Bank and the cash in chances, with most coming away successful as the new WWE or World Heavyweight Champion. The promo comes to a conclusion with the reminder that Money in the Bank takes place this Sunday from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Ryback with Ezekiel Jackson defeats Jimmy Uso with Jey Uso via pinfall The bell sounds and Jimmy rocks Ryback early, ony to get overpowered and dropped wit ha huge back body drop. Ryback gets some momentum going and prepares for an early Meat Hook Clothesline, only for Jimmy to duck underneath and deliver a huge dropkick. He gets a lot of momentum going and gets a series of near falls over Ryback. He hops onto the top rope and prepares for the Big Splash, only for Ezekiel Jackson to shake the ropes with the referee turned away. Jey comes storming over and leaps off the steel steps to take Jackson down! The referee goes to try and get things under control on the outside, allowing Ryback to hit a low blow kick and Shell Shocked right in the middle of the ring. He hooks both legs up for the three count.
Ryback rises onto his feet and laughs as Jey comes storming into the ring, hopping onto his back. Ryback tries to fight him off but can't as Jey locks in the sleeper hold. Ezekiel Jackson comes into the ring and rips Jey off his partner's back and drops him with a huge chokebomb! Ryback and Jackson get onto their feet and stand over both The Usos. They take the tag team title belts and raise them up high, hoping that it is the same scene on the Money in the Bank Kickoff.
Alberto Del Rio, Antonio Cesaro, Kassius Ohno and Fandango with Summer Rae defeat Rob Van Dam, Mark Henry, Big E Langston and Wade Barrett via pinfall The bell rings as Del Rio starts things off with RVD, the latter getting the upper hand early on. Both teams make some tags back and forth and trade swings of momentum over and over again. The two teams begin to brawl on the outside and RVD decides to take advantage of the situation and come into the ring, hit off the ropes and leap right over onto everybody! A commercial break follows. Returning, Cesaro is in control over Barrett and he makes some frequent tags with his team, Barrett beginning a huge surge over Fandango. He makes the tag to Henry and he comes storming in, only to be dropped to the mat by Del Rio! He makes the tag to Cesaro and he comes into the ring, delivering the Big Swing. The crowd pops for the spot as Cesaro flexes to the opposing team. Fandango, Del Rio and Ohno all charge across the ring and begin a brawl, Cesaro in the process hitting the Neutralizer. He hooks the far leg up for the three count.
Cesaro rises onto his feet and flexes to the crowd before slipping out of the ring. He reaches under the ring and takes a ladder out as the other group brawls on the outside. He slips the ladder in and sets it up, climbing up quickly. Langston is the first to respond and come into the ring and takes Cesaro down. The other six superstars get into the mix by trying to get up to the ladder, only for chaos to take over and nobody get to the top. Tons of security and referees comes storming out to stop the melee.
Returning, a promo video airs showing a larger man with his back turned to the camera. He is in a training room, sitting on a bench. The video transitions to him in the ring, overpowering multiple superstars. A voice over comes over, "I've lived my whole life to become a winner, to be successful." The promo shows him hitting an absolutely vicious spinning powerbomb right in the middle of a ring on another wrestler. His face appears in the shadows, "My name... is Ryan Braxton... and I am Unbreakable." The video fades out with a note at the bottom of "Next Week".
Back in the arena, the theme music of Batista hits and the WWE Universe explodes. He marches out from the back with a smile across his face and gets the crowd fired up before making his way down and into the ring. He takes a microphone as the crowd chants his name, The Animal nodding in appreciation. "Last month at Battleground I faced CM Punk for the WWE Championship... and he did find a way to beat me. But this Sunday at Money in the Bank I get another chance. I get a chance to win another shot at the WWE Championship whenever I please... and whether they or anybody else likes it or not, once I win that Money in the Bank I'm going to cash in on either John Cena or CM Punk the same night and they'll just have to deal with it!" He looks out to the crowd that gives him a solid pop for the promise. "I know a lot of guys say that just to get in the heads of the champ, but I mean it. I'm going to cash in that very night and become the WWE Champion... so CM Punk, John Cena... you better not get too comfortable, because new champion or not between the two of you, there will for sure be one by the end of the night!" He throws the microphone down and raises his fists up, the crowd cheering him on as he exits the ring slowly, full of confidence heading into Sunday night.
Rey Mysterio vs Sin Cara goes to a No Contest The bell rings and the two high fliers from Mexico go back and forth with fast paced action early on. Mysterio gets the upper hand after avoiding a springboard and delivers the 619, only for Cara to catch him on the springboard and hit a powerbomb. He gets a couple of near falls before hitting a moonsault from the top rope. Mysterio once again swings momentum back in his way and delivers another 619! Before he can go for the finish, however, Jack Swagger comes running into the ring and knocks Mysterio off the turnbuckle before clotheslining Cara to the mat, the referee calling for the bell.
Swagger, with Zeb Colter ordering him from the outside, tosses Cara into the corner and begins to plow him with knees to the stomach. He turns right around to a springboarding Mysterio landing on his chest! Rey pounds on the head with strikes and Swagger struggles to the ropes, Cara running up and hitting a huge kick to the back of the head! Swagger drops right between the ropes and Mysterio proceeds to deliver the 619! Jack rolls all the way across the ring and out to the feet of Colter, whom helps him back up. The Real American, Swagger, backs up the ramp with his manager as Mysterio and Cara stand tall in the middle of the ring, Mysterio fired up for their match at Money in the Bank.
Returning, a promo video airs with the skylines of a city being shown. There is complete silence before "If ya smell! What The Rock! Is cookin'!" is heard, footage of The Rock being shown. Following the clips, the video signals that The Rock will return to Monday Night Raw next week! Back in the arena, the WWE Universe explodes at the reminder of The People's Champion's return next week.
Natalya and Kaitlyn defeat Diva's Champion AJ Lee and Aksana via submission The match starts with Kaitlyn and AJ, with the champion getting the upper hand early on along with Aksana making some tags back and forth. Kaitlyn begins a furious comeback against Lee, however, and makes the tag to Natalya. Before she can get her hands on the Diva's Champion though, she makes the tag to Aksana. Natalya runs right through her with clotheslines and slams and ends up locking her in the Sharpshooter, leading to a rather quick tap out that Lee puts no effort into breaking up.
Natalya lets go of the hold and rushes to the ropes at AJ, only for the Diva's Champion to leap right down with a smile across her face. She raises the Diva's Championship up high and backs around the ring and makes her way up the ramp, skipping joyfully. Natalya stares her down in frustration from the ring, hoping to become the new champion on Sunday.
The cameras cut backstage to show Cody Rhodes and Goldust, as Cody will be in action against Sheamus - next.
Cody Rhodes with Goldust defeats Sheamus via pinfall The bell rings as the two lock up, Sheamus overpowering Rhodes early on. The Celtic Warrior dominates and gets a few near falls until Rhodes delivers the Disaster Kick out of nowhere! He goes for an early pin but only gets a two count. Cody gets some momentum going but he is hit with a huge Brogue Kick! He rolls right out of the ring, however, and a commercial break interrupts. Upon the return, Sheamus is still in control of the match and works Rhodes for a couple of minutes before setting up for another Brogue, only for Cody to duck and deliver Cross Rhodes right in the middle of the ring. He hooks both legs up for just a two count though. The two continue to go back and forth, putting up big fights and scoring near fall after near fall. Sheamus misses yet another Brogue Kick, however, and is hit with the Disaster Kick and another Cross Rhodes before getting both legs hooked up for the three count.
The WWE Universe cheers as Rhodes slowly staggers back onto his feet following the hard fought victory. He is joined by his brother in the ring and his arm is raised up, Sheamus stirring onto his feet once again. He steps up to Cody and puts his hand out, Rhodes looking to his brother for approval. He takes it but Sheamus kicks him right in the stomach, clotheslining Goldust over the ropes before returning to Rhodes with the Brogue Kick! He laughs as he marches around the ring, telling Rhodes not to trust anybody!
The cameras head backstage again to show Bryan Danielson and Randy Orton on a split screen as they will be having their contract signing for the World Heavyweight Championship match at Money in the Bank up next!
Returning, Matt Striker stands in the ring and announces that it is time for the official contract signing for the World Heavyweight Championship match at Money in the Bank! He introduces first, the challenger - Randy Orton. The Viper makes his way out from the back to some strong heat as he slowly makes his way down to the ring, taking a seat at one side of the table to look up the rampway. Striker proceeds to announce the World Heavyweight Champion, Bryan Danelson! The Hampton crowd explodes as Danielson makes his way out from the back, pumping the title belt over his head while leading on the thunderously loud 'Yes!' chants. He comes down to the ring and stares Orton down from the outside before getting in, taking a seat in the opposite chair while giving a cold stare to Orton - whom just laughs in return. Striker places the contract in the middle of the table, "Alright, gentlemen. You've looked the contract over beforehand and now you shall sign it before everybody here. Randy, if you will." He looks to The Viper, whom just leans back in his chair, clutching a hold of a microphone. He stares at Striker before looking back to Danielson, "I really hope you read this real careful, Bryan. I know you've had your head knocked around in recent weeks and I know you might have some problems doing that simple of a task..." He snickers as Bryan just continues to stare, "I also really hope you understand that this Sunday you aren't just putting the World Heavyweight Championship on the line but you are putting your career on the line... you know by now how dangerous I am and this Sunday at Money in the Bank when there are no holds barred you bet your ass I'm going to be at my most dangerous to destroy you and become the World Heavyweight Champion once again." He flips through the pages of the contract while being booed and signs his name before sliding it over to Danielson, whom looks down at it before looking back up at Orton.
"Oh, trust me, Randy... I know how dangerous you are but you need to know how dangerous I am as well. If you recall just a few weeks ago I beat the living hell out of you with a steel chair. When we meet on Sunday I won't just be using a steel chair if it means I stop you. I've said it before and I've said it again! I love these people and the fact that they love me as their World Heavyweight Champion and clearly have a dislike for you makes me want to do everything in my power to make sure they keep the champion they want and deserve!" He stares The Viper down before signing the contract, the crowd chanting 'Yes!' as he rises onto his feet while pumping the World Heavyweight Championship up and down. Orton rubs his chin before taking a swing at Danielson! He drags him over the announce table and starts to club across the back over and over again before throwing him through the ropes and to the floor head first! The crowd gasps as Bryan lays on the floor nearly motionless. Orton follows after him and drags him back up, throwing him head first into the steel steps! He mounts on top of Danielson and pounds away with fists to the skull over and over again, multiple referees coming to ringside in order to stop him. Orton refuses to listen, however, and removes the cover from the announce table. He takes one of the monitors and licks his lips before crashing it right into the skull of Bryan as he is helped to his feet! Danielson collapses right over the steel steps but Randy keeps up, pulling Bryan to the announce table. He lifts him right up onto it and stands with the World Heavyweight Champion, holding him by the hair. Orton flashes a sick grin before delivering the RKO right through the announce table! The WWE Universe boos incredibly loud as The Viper rises onto his feet, flaring his arms around ferociously. He scoops up the World Heavyweight Championship belt slowly and stares at it as the referees check on Danielson, medical staff racing down as well. Orton keeps his eyes focused up on the world title belt above his head as Smackdown comes to an end!

Nice way to start off the Cutting Edge leading to a major brawl and seeing Edge leave the ring like that not getting a piece of the action, totally priceless, nice for Edge to tell Fandango to shut up too, great win by Reigns over Christian, remember he or Batista is still my pick to win the RAW Money in The Bank. A good win for Ryback, and nice touch with Ryback and Jackson standing tall over the Usos, Ryback and Jackson are going to be the tough team to beat. Great 8-Man Tag Team Match with all the SMACKDOWN MITB Competitors, and the heels get the win, I don't have a favorite on who will win the SMACKDOWN Money In The Bank, but I think it should be Antonio Cesaro or Wade Barrett or Big E Langston. Batista looks focused, I hope he wins the Money in The Bank Match too and cashes it in on Punk or Cena, Cena is most likely going to be cashed in, I see Cena winning the title, but I see him losing it the same night to the Money In The Bank Winner, A Great Match with Mysterio and Cara is ruined by Jack Swagger. Would've loved to see them continue their fight but Swagger ruins everything alongside his man Zeb Colter. A Great win for Natalya and Kaitlyn over AJ and Aksana. Wow Rhodes continues his winning ways by defeating a former World Champion Sheamus. Sheamus then cleaning house on Rhodes and Goldust was great, but I hope this doesn't signal a heel turn for Sheamus. The Contract Signing, I knew it was going to be explosive with Orton standing tall hitting the RKO on Bryan, A Great SMACKDOWN Show, Money in The Bank is coming along pretty good, now you get to reply to mine, i'll be waiting.

Cutting Edge with all 8 Smackdown Money in the Bank Ladder Match participants with Edge basically advising them all but then all of it leading to a major brawl between the 8 men who will be involved in this Sunday's Money in the Bank Ladder Match and Edge basically just laughing at all of them in the distance was great as well and I definitely loved that Edge was here for this but who knows maybe we will see Edge again in the future at some point perhaps either at SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble or even at WrestleMania 30 hopefully since it is the 30th Anniversary and what not
Reigns beating Christian, Reigns continues to prove why he is the future of this company he continues to prove why he is the future of this business and if there is ever a "Face of the WWE" then Reigns definitely deserves the title of it certainly much more than Punk does that's for sure and who knows maybe if he wins Money in the Bank he will cash it in on either Cena or Punk
Ryback beats Jimmy Uso, I kind of figured that he would and then after the match both he and Big Zeke end up attacking the WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy & Jey Uso standing tall over them to give The Big Guys even more of an edge heading into the Money in the Bank Kick-Off Show with The Usos having to defend their WWE Tag Team Championships against Ryback and Big Zeke, yes that match I am kind of looking forward to
Del Rio, Cesaro, Ohno and Fandango beating RVD, Henry, Langston and Barrett in 8-man tag team action, with the heels getting the win, it gives any one of the heels an edge heading into this Sunday because any one of them could win it but also any one of the faces could win it too but then afterwards a brawl ensues with all 8 men turning on each other, it was bound to happen because it is every man for himself this Sunday especially in Money in the Bank, my pick is Barrett
Batista seems confident heading into Money in the Bank, he seems awfully sure that he's going to win the RAW briefcase and that he is going to go on to cash it in in the same night cashing it in on either Punk or Cena, it doesn't matter to him, I love it, that means Batista doesn't care who the WWE Champion ends up being because he's leaving the new WWE Champion, I for one can see it happening too but if Batista does win the briefcase and he does cash it in, I see a heel turn for Batista
Rey Mysterio vs Sin Cara ending in a No Contest because of Swagger, I definitely figured that he would show up and he does by attacking both Mysterio and Sin Cara, I wonder what the hell Swagger's deal is, he ruined what could have potentially have been a great main event but I guess he did it as a way of sending a message to his MITB opponent Rey Mysterio so I can't argue with that
Rock returning this Monday on RAW, I wonder what he's returning for or more importantly for whom?
Natalya and Kaitlyn beating the team of the WWE Divas Champion AJ & Aksana, great match definitely a great match I love it
Rhodes continues to win, he definitely has to be considered a favorite in the RAW Money in the Bank Ladder Match especially beating Sheamus but then Sheamus ends up cleaning house on both Rhodes brothers by attacking both of them, I wonder if this could be a heel turn for Sheamus? If it is then I am happy if Sheamus turns heel, he needs to be the Sheamus of old, the barbaric, ruthless Celtic Warrior of old, the one who debuted in 2009 shocking the world becoming WWE Champion beating John Cena in a Tables Match, he needs to be that Sheamus again, he needs to be that guy again
Bryan/Orton contract signing ending in chaos, almost all contract signings do with Orton being the one to stand tall hitting an RKO on Danielson, could that be an omen of things to come this Sunday at Money in the Bank?
3 MORE DAYS UNTIL MONEY IN THE BANK!!!!! AND I FOR ONE CANNOT WAIT UNTIL SUMMERSLAM THE BIGGEST PARTY OF THE SUMMER!!!!!

July 14, 2013 from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA The cameras come into the Scottrade Center behind the official theme song "Rise" by Skillet, the crowd being looked over as Josh Mathews welcomes everybody to the Money in the Bank Kickoff! The cameras transition through the fans and come to a stage in the middle of the crowd with Mathews on the far left, and he introduces the panelists for tonight's Kickoff - WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, The Miz and Alex Riley. He thanks them all for being here tonight and notes how on tonight's kickoff we will have a WWE Tag Team Championship match as Ryback teams with Ezekiel Jackson to go up against the champions, The Usos. But first, they will be discussing the main card for tonight.
Mathews brings up first the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and asks the panel what the strategy should be, pointing out that Miz has won a Money in the Bank before. Riley responds first, saying he hasn't been in many ladder matches in his life time but he understands from a fan perspective that you need to avoid taking the big fall so you can get up there the first chance you get. Miz nods, "Don't be a fool and just go up there as soon as the ladder is set up. You take your time and you find the absolute best opportunity to get up there and become the Money in the Bank holder." Michaels talks about how he was in possibly the biggest ladder match of all time and he knows how brutal it can be, but you just have to suck it all up and put everything you've got into trying to get up to the top.
Mathews moves forward to the actual Money in the Bank ladder matches tonight and asks who they feel will win. Riley says he has been taking a long time to think about it, but he is going to go with Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship one, saying that he is the most hungry out of all of the superstars and Rob Van Dam for the other - saying he came back with a purpose and has been Mr. Money in the Bank before. Miz sits back and takes a few seconds before just flat out saying he is going to go with Batista and Alberto Del Rio. Michaels shrugs his shoulders, "Who really knows, Josh? Who really knows? If you're going to make me pick though, I'll say anybody that isn't sitting here at this table right now!" He gives a laugh as Mathews tells him fair enough, he isn't going to argue with a Hall of Famer like The Heart Break Kid.
Mathews sends it down to ringside where Matt Striker and William Regal sit to provide commentary in tonight's Kickoff. They thank Josh for the welcoming and proceed to talk about how Ryback announced Ezekiel Jackson as his partner last month on the Battleground Kickoff and they came up just short against The Usos, but in recent weeks have shown that they are very capable of becoming the tag team champions. A few clips are shown from over the weeks with Jackson and Ryback looking very strong in many victories.
WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos defeat Ryback and Ezekiel Jackson to retain The bell rings as Jackson starts things off with Jey and he completely dominates him early on. He makes tags back and forth with Ryback and they completely run through Jey until a tag is made to Jimmy. He comes storming into the ring and gets blasted with a big boot from Zeke! They continue to dominate until Ryback gets tagged in and runs right through both The Usos until he misses the Meat Hook Clothesline, The Usos responding with a strong double team. They get the upper hand and send Jackson to the outside before hitting a double flapjack on Ryback, Jey told to go to the outside by the official. Jimmy goes to the top rope and hits the Big Splash and hooks both legs up for the three.
The crowd pops as The Usos come together in the middle of the ring, hugging with joy. The referee retrieves the title belts and hands them over, The Usos getting the crowd to chant their name, laughing and heading out of the ring. Regal and Striker highlight the finish of the match, replaying the very high leaping ability by Jey on the big splash to finish the match.
Striker and Regal send things back up to Josh Mathews and he thanks them, congratulating The Usos on their successful title defense here tonight.
A promo video airs showing a larger man with his back turned to the camera. He is in a training room, sitting on a bench. The video transitions to him in the ring, overpowering multiple superstars. A voice over comes over, "I've lived my whole life to become a winner, to be successful." The promo shows him hitting an absolutely vicious spinning powerbomb right in the middle of a ring on another wrestler. His face appears in the shadows, "My name... is Ryan Braxton... and I am Unbreakable." The video fades out with a note at the bottom of "Tomorrow".
Returning from the promo, Josh Mathews says that not much time is left and they will get to more later on during the pay-per-view itself, but they'd like to talk about the World Heavyweight Championship match between Randy Orton and Bryan Danielson first and he asks the panelists who will have the upper hand going into this match and who will ultimately walk out the winner. Riley says he thinks that Orton has the advantage, being more of the aggressor, but he thinks Danielson has the heart. Miz disagrees completely and says he thinks Danielson has more reason to angry, but he thinks Orton is in his head and will walk out the new World Heavyweight Champion. Michaels says he trained Bryan and he knows what he is capable of and believes he will leave still World Heavyweight Champion.
Mathews says finally, the WWE Championship of CM Punk will be on the line against John Cena's career. He says that he'd like to save that conversation for the show later on and tells them all to bite their tongue! "Thank you for joining us on the Money in the Bank Kickoff Show, ladies and gentlemen. For Alex Riley, The Miz and Shawn Michaels, I'm Josh Mathews and we'll see you a little later on tonight!" He gives a final note to contact your local pay-per-view provider and to enjoy Money in the Bank!

July 14, 2013 from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA A promo video begins to air behind the official theme song "Rise" by Skillet, the Money in the Bank briefcases being highlighted first. A voice over speaks, talking of how tonight the future of the WWE figuratively and literally hangs in the air. The promo picks up with the highlights of the history of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match before moving forward to Bryan Danielson and Randy Orton's feud for the World Heavyweight Championship, with Orton not only attempting to become the champion once again - but to end Bryan's career if necessary. The video goes over the assaults from both men on each other and their vows to walk out of Money in the Bank as the World Heavyweight Champion. Finally, the promo goes on to show CM Punk becoming the WWE Champion at WrestleMania thanks to assistance from Triple H. Last month, Cena would call for a rematch by being willing to put his career on the line in order to get the chance to become WWE Champion once again, with the additional stipulation of Triple H being barred from ringside and interference. The video comes to a conclusion with Cena and Punk exchanging strong words about who will walk out as WWE Champion.

They send it to the ring, the bell ringing as Justin Roberts announces that the following contest is the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match!
World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match Fandango vs Mark Henry vs Alberto Del Rio vs Big E Langston vs Kassius Ohno vs Wade Barrett vs Antonio Cesaro vs Rob Van Dam
The bell rings and the eight men all look around at each other before all spilling out of the ring, racing to the ladders and trading blows with each other. Fandango breaks away from the mess and takes a ladder, sliding it into the ring. He goes right after it and sets it up in the middle of the ring, rushing up it only for Langston and Barrett to storm in and yank him down, delivering a double clothesline over the ropes. Barrett turns to the ladder and starts to ascend it, Langston grabbing his leg and forcing him down with authority. He misses a clothesline, however, and Barrett hits off the ropes and returns with the bullhammer! RVD comes into the ring from behind and knocks Barrett over the ropes with a spinning wheel kick and he looks around the arena. He pushes off the ropes and comes storming back, frontflipping right over the ropes and into the pile of superstars! The crowd explodes as he hops onto his feet, getting them to chant his name. He turns back to the ring to see Fandango once again stirring his way up the ladder and he gets right back in and behind the dancer, shrugging his shoulders before forcing Fandango off by the leg. He is met with a huge kick to the stomach and Fandango hits off the ropes, only to come back to a huge kick to the face! RVD proceeds to leap onto the third rung of the ladder and nail a moonsault! He jumps right back and leaps over the ropes, only to be caught in the arms of Mark Henry. The World's Strongest Man storms forward and slams RVD back first into the steel post!

The crowd cheers as the two talk smack back and forth before trading shots over and over again, Big E getting the upper hand before shoving Henry down back first into the steel steps!

He reaches up for the briefcase, trying to win it for a second time, only to be hit with a huge fist to the jaw! Barrett stays dazed for a moment before collapsing off the ladder and to the mat! Langston goes to grab the briefcase once again but Ohno and Cesaro work to shove the ladder over together - dropping Langston right onto the mat with authority. The Kings of Wrestling nod to each other and pull the ladder back up, each climbing up one side. They both get to the top and stare at each other not quite knowing what to do. Before either one of them can make a move, however, Del Rio comes rushing into the ring and sends them both off the ladder by pushing it down. He collapses across the ropes and before he can get to the ladder himself, RVD charges at him with a big clothesline - sending the Mexican Aristocrat to the outside. The Whole Dam Show takes a hold of the ladder and lifts it up, setting it around his neck. He looks around as The Kings of Wrestling get up and he swings around to smack them both with the ladder at the same time. He does the same to Langston on the other side of the ring but is met with a bulldog from Fandango off the top rope! RVD flops around until he gets the ladder off his neck, rolling out of the ring in pain. The dancing superstar struggles onto his feet and sways his hips a bit to the crowd. As he does so, Henry returns into the ring right behind him. The crowd cheers loudly as Fandango continues to dance, thinking the reaction is for him. He slowly starts to realize what is going on and he turns around right into the World's Strongest Slam! On the outside, RVD sets a ladder up in between the barricade and ring apron and hops back up onto the apron. He ducks underneath a shot from Langston and blasts him with a kick to the head. Henry comes running at him and delivers a huge splash that drops RVD right to the floor and into the barricade. Henry pounds on his chest before turning to Cesaro, whom clotheslines him right up against the ropes. He nails a series of uppercuts and Henry wobbles halfway over the ropes. Cesaro proceeds to take a hold of the legs and pulls them up over his shoulders, using all of his strength to quickly lift Henry up and drop him over the ropes and through the ladder! The WWE Universe explodes as Henry lays motionless through the ladder, Cesaro leaning over the ropes while catching his breath. He drops to one knee and behind him, Del Rio sets the ladder from in the ring back up. He starts to rush up and Cesaro takes notice, hopping up behind Del Rio to hook a hold of the waist. He pulls as hard as he can to deliver a huge German Suplex that sends Alberto across the ring and through the ropes to the outside! Langston rises to his feet on the other side and goes up the ladder slowly, only to be hit with a big kick to the face off the top rope by RVD! Rob swings himself back onto his feet and collapses up against the ladder. He starts to make his way up it and gets near the top. Cesaro storms up the other side and hooks a hold of the head. He tugs away in the grip and goes to grab the briefcase in the process, only to be hit with punches to the sides. Ohno rushes up to the ladder and sends it down as fast as he can, both men collapsing to the mat! Ohno drops onto his hands and knees as all eight men remain laid out around. Barrett stirs up first from the outside and struggles his way back into the ring, taking some shots at Ohno before taking the ladder himself. He doesn't get a chance to set it up, however, as Fandango hops in and delivers a huge leaping kick to it! He pops right back up and takes the ladder himself, only to be hit with a superkick from Del Rio. He turns right to Ohno delivering a big elbow that drops him through the ropes. RVD hits a huge kick to the face of Ohno and sets the ladder up in the corner slowly. He steps out to the apron and takes a moment before getting to the top rope, taking a few breaths. He stands up on it and gets the crowd going with the chant of his name. He proceeds to take a hold of the ladder and pull himself right over, only to miss the frog splash thanks to Cesaro pulling Ohno away! RVD flops right across the ring and to the ropes. Ohno gets up first and looks to his partner, kicking him right in the face and knocking him right through the ropes! He quickly rushes to the ladder and sets it back up, making his way up only for Cesaro to rush his way back in and leap right up the other side. He scurries to the top and catches Kassius right before he can grab the briefcase and nails a huge uppercut to the chin! He fires away with uppercut after uppercut and finishes Ohno off by taking the briefcase and slamming it right into the head! Ohno flies right off the ladder and to the mat, Cesaro looking around the arena to cheers by the Philadelphia crowd. He gives his signature taunt with his fists and unhooks the briefcase, clutching it to his chest.
Winner of the match and World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank holder, Antonio Cesaro (19:49)
The crowd roars as Cesaro keeps the briefcase close to his chest before raising it up high over his head, giving a loud yell of victory. He starts to descend the ladder as the commentary team goes over the breakdown of The Kings of Wrestling at the end of the match with Cesaro helping Ohno avoid the frog splash by Rob Van Dam, only to get kicked right in the face. Cesaro would respond by blasting his partner with uppercuts atop the ladder before smacking him with the briefcase and taking it for himself. The commentators continue to go through some of the moments in the match, including Cesaro putting Mark Henry through a ladder. Back live in the arena, Cesaro makes his way to the top of the stage and raises the briefcase up once again as the seven other superstars look on, including a clearly frustrated and envious Kassius Ohno.
The cameras cut backstage to the parking lot as a limousine is seen arriving. It comes to a stop as the driver steps out and opens the back door, Triple H emerging from it to some strong heat from the crowd. He adjusts his suit jacket and looks inside, assisting his wife Stephanie McMahon out to a mixed reaction by the WWE Universe. She gives a long stare to her husband and they head off, as Michael Cole reminds everyone that Triple H is banned from ringside and from interfering in the main event tonight but will certainly be in the building to watch his, in his own words 'friend' CM Punk compete against John Cena, whom will be putting his career on the line in an attempt to regain the WWE Championship.

The commentary team talks about AJ Lee retaining the Diva's Championship in a tough contest with Natalya and proceeds by sending things up to the Money in the Bank Kickoff crew of Josh Mathews, Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, The Miz and Alex Riley. Mathews thanks them for the introduction and talks about how so much has gone down tonight and there are still a few more matches to go, but first they'd like to mention that in the Kickoff - if you didn't see it - The Usos retained the WWE Tag Team Championships against Ryback and Ezekiel Jackson. Mathews proceeds to talk about the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank and Antonio Cesaro being the winner and asks the team what they think about him winning and what his future holds. "Well, Josh, he has a lot of potential!" Michaels states, "As a matter of fact, as we saw with him and Kassius Ohno in that match it just seemed to be only a matter of time before things imploded and I could see Antonio Cesaro being the Shawn Michaels to the Kings of Wrestling as Shawn Michaels was to The Rockers!" He laughs about himself as The Miz and Alex Riley both agree he is a tremendous talent and obviously has great odds on becoming the World Heavyweight Champion one day. Mathews moves on to the World Heavyweight Championship match where Bryan Danielson retained over Randy Orton and asks for their thoughts. HBK talks about how he trained Danielson and seeing him be the World Champion warms his heart, and seeing him compete the way he did tonight was tremendous. The Miz agrees with Michaels and says that Bryan is a great talent and he has been in the ring with him enough to know that, but he also knows that Randy Orton probably won't stay down. Riley just praises Bryan and says it was, no pun intended towards Miz, awesome to see what he did.
Mathews moves forward to what is coming up and talks about the WWE Championship Money in the Bank Ladder Match coming up next and asks the panelists who they think is the favorite in the match. Michaels says there is no clear cut favorite, but if anybody he has to go with Christian simple based off the fact that he has competed in so many ladder matches over the years. Miz disagrees, "It has to be Batista! The Animal! He has come back with a mission to become the WWE Champion and he will stop at nothing to do so!" Riley tells them that they are both wrong and says that Roman Reigns came into this company and has made his statement, now it is time he takes the next step up. Mathews says finally, there is the WWE Championship versus Career match between CM Punk and John Cena. He goes for the predictions and starts off with Riley, whom says he just thinks that John Cena has too much heart and determination to just give his career in. Miz disagrees and says that he may not be friends with either one of these men but he knows that CM Punk is one of the best if not the best and is going to end John Cena's legendary career tonight. Shawn sighs and looks down at the table before looking up, "Both John Cena and CM Punk are tremendous talents. I've competed with both of these men and I know that they each give everything they have got into every single match but when it comes down to it... I don't think you can end the career of John Cena. Just... you can't do it. Not on your own and without my dear friend Triple H I don't think he can do it tonight..." He looks back up to Mathews whom thanks the panelists for their time tonight and says the show is far from over and sends it back down to ringside.

He takes a deep breath and looks behind himself, hitting a huge moonsault to the outside onto Reigns, Rollins, Batista, Ziggler and Sheamus! The crowd breaks out into the same chant once again as everyone is once again laid out. On the other side of the ring, Ambrose stirs onto his feet slowly and takes a ladder from the outside, sliding it into the ring. He follows and sits it in between the ropes and the one already in the middle of the ring. He hops onto the one hung on the ropes and starts to make his way up the ladder in the middle, getting towards the top. Christian comes in from behind, however, and hops up behind Ambrose. He catches the body and works slowly but surely as Dean struggles, Christian managing to hook the arms. He gives a yell and drops right down with the Killswitch on the ladder! Both men flop across the ring in pain, collapsing out on opposite sides of the ring. Sheamus gets up slowly and looks all around at the carnage, reaching under the ring to pull out a steel chair. He turns around to everyone and starts to wing the chair wildly, cracking it over the backs of Rollins, Ziggler and Rhodes before being stopped by Reigns with a Superman Punch right into the chair! He pops right up, pounding on his chest viciously. Paul Heyman leads him on and takes him around the ring, ordering him to spear Christian - which he does to boos from the crowd. He pops right back up and enters the ring while looking all around. He steps up to the ladder and begins to climb up it, only to notice Ziggler getting up in the ring. The big man leaps right off and hits the Superman Punch on the way down! The WWE Universe pops again as Reigns gets up and turns right around to a spear from Batista! The Animal turns to the ladder and begins to make his way up it slowly. He reaches the top and looks all around to see nobody in his way and he slowly takes the briefcase down, raising it up over his head as the bell rings.
Winner of the match and WWE Championship Money in the Bank holder, Batista (17:49)
The WWE Universe gives a very loud mixed reaction as Batista shakes the briefcase wildly, pounding on his chest. He slowly makes his way down the ladder as the commentary team speaks of how Batista came back to become the WWE Champion - and even vowed to cash in tonight if he won this match! They go over some of the key moments in the match, all leading up to Batista hitting the spear on Reigns before ascending the ladder and taking the briefcase down. Back live in the arena, The Animal backs his way up the ramp and clutches the briefcase close to his chest before raising it up over his head with both hands once again, still getting a bit of a mixed reaction from the Pennsylvania crowd. He makes his way towards the back.
The cameras cut to a promo video that shows the skylines of a city being shown. There is complete silence before "If ya smell! What The Rock! Is cookin'!" is heard, footage of The Rock being shown. Following the clips, the video signals that The Rock will return to Monday Night Raw tomorrow night! The cameras head back into the arena as the WWE Universe pops for the reminder of the return of The Rock tomorrow night as the commentary team talks in wonder of what he will have to say or do on Raw!
Jack Swagger with Zeb Colter vs Rey Mysterio with Sin Cara
The bell rings and Mysterio storms forward, hopping right onto the shoulders of Swagger. He fires away with shots to the head before getting dropped face first into the turnbuckle. Swagger spins around and starts to fire away knees to the stomach, followed up by shoulders. He whips Mysterio across the ring and runs right at him, only to be blasted with a kick to the face. Rey hops onto the second turnbuckle and leaps off with a huge spinning DDT. He goes for a quick pin but only gets a two count and gets back up, hitting off the ropes. He runs right back to Swagger and is lifted right up off the mat and spun around, slammed to the mat with authority. Swagger takes a hold of the leg and pulls it to the ropes, leaping right down on it with a leg drop. He works the leg a bit more against the ropes with some more leg drops and wrenches away at it even with Mysterio holding onto the ropes, breaking off it at the count of four. He turns to Zeb Colter on the outside and he orders Swagger to continue working the leg. He goes back to it but Mysterio kicks him off, rising back up. He trips Swagger face first into the corner and pops right back up, springboarding off the ropes and onto the shoulder, spinning around to hit the inverted DDT. He pops back up and gets the crowd fired up, hitting off the ropes only to get his ankle grabbed by Colter. Mysterio pulls away in frustration and turns around to stare Colter down. Swagger runs up from behind and hooks the waist, nailing a huge German suplex! He pops right back up and goes right back to the leg, stomping away at it before delivering a leg drop followed up by a half crab. Mysterio struggles in the hold and reaches towards the ropes, Swagger breaking it as soon as he can get near the ropes. He tries to drag Rey back to the middle of the ring but Mysterio rolls over and pushes him away, taking a hold of the ropes quickly. He pulls himself up and trips Swagger on the comeback between the top and middle rope, hanging by the neck and arms. Mysterio stirs back up and raises his index finger to the crowd, rushing across the ring and coming back with the 619! Before he can go for the springboard, however, Colter hugs his legs. Mysterio tries to pull himself away with the ropes and Sin Cara comes running around the ring, leaping up and dropkicking Colter! The crowd cheers as Rey readjusts himself, springboarding off the ropes only to be caught on the shoulders of Swagger and transitioned onto the shoulder. Swagger proceeds to hit the Gut Wrench Powerbomb! He drops to the mat and hooks both legs up for the three count.
Winner of the match via pinfall, Jack Swagger (6:56)
The crowd boos as Swagger rises onto his feet with a smile across his face. Colter staggers up on the outside and gets in the ring, going over to his fellow 'Real American' to raises his arm up. Cara helps Mysterio out of the ring slowly and backs up towards the ramp with him. Swagger and Colter turn to face them and place their hands over their heats, giving a loud "We! The People!" shout. The crowd boos as Mysterio and Cara make their way towards the back as Colter continues to parade Swagger around the ring to the Pennsylvania crowd.
Cole, Lawler and JBL begin to talk about the WWE Championship match coming up next between John Cena and CM Punk with the career of Cena on the line. Before they say anything more, though, Cole stops the conversation and says that they have some breaking news going on in the back. The cameras pan backstage to show Batista laid out on the floor in the hallways with his briefcase dislodged about ten feet away, multiple referees and medical staff checking on him. "I guess he won't be cashing in tonight, Michael!" JBL shouts, as Lawler questions who would dare attack Batista.
A promo video proceeds to air, showing the beginning of John Cena's career and his claim of having ruthless aggression. The video continues on through his career from his first WWE Championship win at WrestleMania 21 all the way up to him winning the Royal Rumble in 2008 and to becoming WWE Champion once again at TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs just last year. The video transitions with the fuzz effect in 'Cult of Personalty', followed up by the song as the career of CM Punk is highlighted next. From his debut in ECW at the early stages of his career, to becoming World Heavyweight Champion for the first time after becoming the Money in the Bank winner. It moves forward to his battles with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, The Rock and all the way up to winning the Royal Rumble in January. The Money in the Bank theme song 'Rise' by Skillet comes in and moves forward to Triple H costing John Cena the WWE Championship at WrestleMania and essentially handing over the keys to the top of the company to CM Punk. The promo comes up to just a few weeks ago, with Cena telling Triple H he would put his career on the line to get one more shot at the WWE Championship as long as he didn't get involved. Hunter would agree to the match, only to beat Cena down along with Punk later in the night. The promo video picks up with the recent weeks of strong words and attacks from both sides, concluding with both Cena and Punk raising the WWE Championship belt up over their head with a voice over of each man saying they will walk out as the WWE Champion at Money in the Bank.
WWE Championship vs Career (Triple H is Banned from Ringside) John Cena vs CM Punk(c)
The bell rings and the two stare each other down, circling around the ring slowly. They come charging to the middle of the ring and lock up, Cena throwing Punk into the corner. He begins to fire away with strikes to the face and mid section and pulls away at the count of four. He puts his hands up and steps right back forward, being blasted with a huge boot to the face! Punk starts to throw kicks to the ribs and legs and hooks a hold of the head, hitting a huge suplex in the middle of the ring. He hooks both legs up but barely even gets a two count. Both men get back up and Punk pushes Cena off the ropes, lifting him up off the mat for an early Go To Sleep! Cena throws some elbows and slips free, however, and pushes himself off the ropes. He comes back with a huge shoulder block and pops right onto his feet once again, hitting three more shoulder blocks before lifting Punk up for the Attitude Adjustment. The champion grasps a hold of the ropes, however, and slips off and goes onto the apron. He ducks underneath a clothesline and flips himself up, nailing a hard kick to the head! Punk swings back up and springboards off the ropes and takes Cena down to the mat with a crossbody, hooking both legs up for only a count of two. Punk staggers back up and lets Cena get up against the ropes, stepping forward and hitting a couple of punches to the head. Punk drags Cena to the middle of the ring and hits a knee to the stomach before dropping him down to the mat, applying an armbar. Cena rolls around on his back and slams his fist down in frustration. He reaches out to the ropes and gives a yell, struggling his way over. He grasps the bottom rope, however, and the referee gets to a count of three before Punk lets go. The WWE Champion rises onto his feet and moves over to Cena once again, leaning over only to get a huge jab to the jaw. John rises back up slowly and ducks another shot from Punk, lifting him up off the mat for an inverted suplex only for the WWE Champion to roll over the ropes and to the floor. Cena turns around and leans between the ropes, getting hit with a huge leaping boot to the face! Cena collapses down onto the apron and Punk gets right onto the apron, pumping a fist to the crowd. "Best in the world!" He runs up to Cena as he stirs, nailing a vicious knee to the face! Punk steps back into the ring and moves around with his arms spread out and a smile across his face. He closes his hands up and leans his head down on them in signature fashion, Cena struggling back onto his feet in the ring. He backs right up to Punk, whom spins him around and lifts him up, delivering the GTS! Punk drops right down onto his knees, laughing once again. He hooks both legs up and Cena manages to power out at the very last moment. Punk rolls onto his back and starts to kick the mat in frustration, getting back up quickly. He starts to yell at the referee, demanding he count faster. He lets Cena get up in the corner and he runs with the knee to the chin, charging forward with the bulldog only for Cena to shove him right into the corner chest first. Punk turns right around to a huge shoulder block, Cena getting back up to deliver another one and the reverse powerbomb. The challenger hops right up and stands over Punk, raising his hand up high. "You can't see me!" The crowd shouts along with Cena's wave as he proceeds to nail the Five Knuckle Shuffle. He gets right back up and leans down, catching Punk as he gets up only to get hit with a hard knee to the chin on the way up onto his shoulders. Punk proceeds to deliver yet another GTS! The WWE Universe pops as Punk hooks both legs up for another near fall! Punk rolls right over and goes back onto his knees, clutching his face in his hands in disbelief at Cena's refusal to be defeated. He stirs back up slowly and backs to the corner, stepping out to the apron. He slowly makes his way up the turnbuckle and raises his index fingers up to the sky in homage to Randy Savage, giving a reminder to the crowd that he is 'the best in the world' before leaping off for the elbow, only for Cena to roll out of the way! John pops right back up and catches the ankle of Punk, dropping down and locking in the STF! Punk throws his hands around wildly as the hold is tightened up. The champion struggles like crazy and seems to be in a panic. He gets his hands out towards the ropes, his fingertips touching. He uses as much strength as he can to get to them and clasps a hold, Cena continuing to pull until a count of four. Both men collapse on the mat and remain laid out, the referee slowly beginning the count out of the two. He gets up to seven before Cena rises in the corner, Punk soon following. Both men come to the middle and Cena misses a punch, Punk dropkicking him right through the ropes and to the floor. He runs off the ropes and returns to the other side, giving a big suicide dive to Cena into the announce table - John flying right into the laps of Cole, Lawler and JBL! Punk staggers back up and rips off the cover of the announce table, removing the monitors. He lets Cena get up before dragging him right across, clubbing across the back. He turns back to the ring to see the referee getting to a count of six. He rolls into the ring and gets back onto his feet, Cena struggling back towards the ring. Punk charges right to the ropes and hits yet another suicide dive! Cena slams his spine right into the announce table and drops to both knees. Punk throws him head first into the table and Cena collapses onto the floor, clutching the back of his head. Punk smack talks some of the fans in the front row that are cheering Cena on and he pulls John right back into the ring. He goes for the pin but only gets a count of two as Cena places his foot on the bottom rope. The WWE Champion drags Cena up and pushes him off the ropes, ducking underneath a clothesline. He lets Cena come back off the ropes again and goes for a clothesline of his own, only for Cena to duck and the referee is taken out! John proceeds to clothesline Punk over the ropes and onto the apron, only to be hit with a big kick to the head! Punk hooks a hold of the neck and pulls John up off the mat, using all of his strength to fall back and drop Cena through the announce table from the apron! The WWE Universe explodes as both men remain laid out, staying there for at least a minute before Punk begins to stir at all. He crawls to the ring and uses the apron to get back onto his feet.
Punk reaches under the ring and pulls out a steel chair, tossing it over the ropes and into the middle of the squared circle. He staggers back over to Cena and pulls him up, throwing him right back into the ring. He follows and takes the chair, slowly rising back up. He pulls the chair over his head and slams it right across the lifeless body of Cena! He places the chair over the chest and staggers to the corner, climbing onto the top rope. He raises his index fingers up once again and goes for the elbow, landing right on the chair - driving right into Cena! Punk flops around, clutching his arm as Cena rolls onto his chest while clutching it in pain. Both men struggle on opposite sides of the ring to get back up and Punk hurries over, scooping the chair up once again. He swings it right at John's head, only for Cena to duck away from it and hit a huge kick to the stomach - pulling the chair away. He tosses it all the way across the ring and pulls Punk up, hitting the Attitude Adjustment! He hooks both legs up and looks around, the crowd counting to three. He realizes the referee is still motionless and pulls off the pin. He gets back up and staggers over to the official, shaking him a bit to try and wake him. He places his hands on his hips as the WWE Universe begins to get very loud, Cena turning around to Shawn Michaels - whom drops him with the Sweet Chin Music! "Oh my God! Oh my God! What the? What the hell!? Shawn Michaels! Shawn Michaels!" Cole freaks out on commentary as the Heart Break Kid, a panelist for the Money in the Bank Kickoff tonight, stands over Cena. He looks all around the Wells Fargo Center as they give a thunderously loud mixed reaction, Shawn backing to the ropes and out of the ring. He makes his way up the ramp and towards the back, running his hands through his hair. Punk slowly stirs onto his feet with a sick smile across his face. The referee staggers up slowly and Punk pulls Cena right up onto his feet, dragging him onto his shoulders. The WWE Champion moves to the middle of the ring and stares out to the crowd before dropping Cena with the Go To Sleep! He drops onto both knees and hooks both legs up, getting the slow three count.
Winner of the match and still WWE Champion, CM Punk (25:25)
The crowd continues going wild as Punk rises up onto his feet, arms raised up high. He laughs while leaning back across the ropes as the referee hands him the WWE Championship belt. The commentary team begins to come to realization that John Cena's career is over, Cole responding rather quietly. "Oh my God... this means... it's over... John Cena's career... it's over!" The replays from the match are shown with all the early near falls via the GTS, Cena's STF that pushed Punk to near submission, as well as Punk's suicide dive into the announce table and the suplex from the apron right through it. Back live in the arena, Punk drops from the top turnbuckle and exits the ring, making his way up the ramp slowly. He raises the WWE Championship up high as Triple H slowly emerges from behind, clapping with a big smile across his face. Cena gets onto his hands and knees with a face that could only be described as seeing red. He crawls towards the ropes but collapses onto the mat before he can grab a hold of them. He places his hands over the back of his head in frustration, disbelief and sadness as The COO raises the WWE Champion's arm up high as John Cena's career has ended tonight at Money in the Bank.

For the Kickoff Show, The Usos retaining the WWE Tag Team Championships came as no surprise. I'm still not sold on the Ryback and Ezekiel Jackson team, but I am all for building the tag division. Onto the actual card, kicking things off with the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank match was a no-brainer. Antonio Cesaro winning the briefcase isn't too surprising, though it is still awesome to see. Whether he becomes the World Champion upon cashing in, though, is the real question. The Wyatt Family getting the win in this Handicap match was expected after Bray fell short to Jeff Hardy last month. I would imagine that some sort of blow off match for this program will take place at SummerSlam. Maybe Wyatt vs. Hardy vs. Show? Up next, a brutal No Holds Barred match. I wasn't entirely sure if Daniel Bryan would manage to retain the title, but I am glad that he did. Not sure where things go heading into SummerSlam as Bryan has already beaten Orton twice now. For what it was, a pretty solid Divas Championship match. AJ Lee was the obvious winner, but the right one as well. WWE Championship Money in the Bank time! The better of the two Ladder matches of the night, in my mind. Batista capturing the briefcase is something that I'm not opposed to as the mixed reaction to his victory could be what triggers a heel turn. At least, that's what I am hoping for. Jack Swagger defeating Rey Mysterio was the right call, though it sucks that they had to work in between two of the premiere matches. Lastly, a fantastic WWE Championship match, mirroring the match that happened in real life back in 2011. Sweet Chin Music! The f*** is wrong with you, Shawn Michaels?!? HBK's involvement was entirely unexpected. A clever way to have outside involvement that linked to Triple H. CM Punk retaining the WWE Championship was lovely. John Cena's career is over.....lol no. Overall, a great Money in the Bank PPV. Looking forward to the coming weeks as we head into SummerSlam.

The Usos retaining their WWE Tag Team Championships against Ryback and Big Zeke, that is like the 2nd time The Usos have beaten them on PPV so it doesn't surprise me but maybe now The Usos can move on and have new challengers for their titles but it begs the question of if and now The Big Guys will go their separate ways or if they will still stay a team?
Antonio Cesaro winning the Money in the Bank briefcase, winning the blue briefcase, the Smackdown briefcase that means he can cash in his briefcase to become World Heavyweight Champion any time any where for up to 1 whole year and knowing Cesaro he will cash in when we least expect it but as for Ohno, after this, definitely the Kings of Wrestling as a tag team definitely have to be over considering Ohno turned on Cesaro in the match only for Cesaro to return the favor and end up winning the whole thing, we are all looking at the next World Heavyweight Champion
The Wyatt Family beating Big Show and Jeff Hardy, I definitely was expecting this but what I didn't expect was the finish, Big Show accidentally knocking out Jeff Hardy the way he did, but the Wyatts took full advantage to get the victory and now it begs the question of where Jeff Hardy goes from here? Or where Big Show goes from here? Or even where the Wyatts go from here?
Bryan Danielson retaining his World Heavyweight Championship beating Randy Orton yet again for the 2nd time beating him at Battleground and now at Money in the Bank, I definitely say that after this Danielson needs to move on, he needs a new challenger for his title but it begs the question of where Orton goes from here now that he has lost to Danielson twice in 2 PPVs?
AJ Lee defending her WWE Divas Championship beating Natalya making her tap out does wonders for her, since she beat a submission specialist and since AJ has become a submission specialist it puts her over huge in a sense because she has seemingly beaten all comers since becoming WWE Divas Champion and it begs the question of who she will end up having to face now after all is said and done?
Batista winning the RAW briefcase, becoming Mr. Money in the Bank, Batista had to be one of the favorites to win this briefcase and now that he has, look at the crowd reaction he gets, a mixed reaction, yeah it is only a matter of time before Batista turns heel and becomes Heeltista, Bootista, I am telling you his heel turn will happen and when it does I can see him becoming WWE Champion especially now that he has the RAW briefcase
Batista getting attacked backstage, it makes me wonder who his assailant was? Because he was attacked the moment after he won his Money in the Bank briefcase something tells me that someone definitely did not want Batista to cash in his briefcase and whoever it was, they obviously do not want Batista to become WWE Champion so it begs the question of who it was that got to The Animal? I bet you anything his assailant either was CM Punk, Triple H, Randy Orton, or my favorite Paul Heyman Guy Roman Reigns, had to be any one of them but if it ends up being someone who we do not suspect then it at least adds to the element of surprise
What the hell? What in the hell? Shawn Michaels panelist costs John Cena his match costs John Cena his career, what the hell? Definitely a screwjob finish I definitely did not see coming, John Cena's career is over and we all have one person to blame for that now don't we? Shawn Michaels The Heartbreak Kid sold out, he is a sell out, or he has become a sell out, this has Triple H written all over this, Triple H somehow got to his best friend Shawn Michaels and since Triple H was obviously banned from ringside he figures that if he can't interfere he will have someone do it for him and who better than his best friend and DX teammate Shawn Michaels? Punk takes full advantage and retains his WWE Championship, I can't say that I am not surprised because I am because I definitely did not see this coming at all but in a twisted sort of way it all makes sense
But John Cena even though his career may be over, I do not see this being the end of John Cena's career, I see him somehow coming back from this because either Stephanie ends up re-hiring John Cena or Triple H's father-in-law Vince McMahon Mr. McMahon ends up going over his son-in-law going behind his son-in-law's back and rehiring John Cena, and if that happens then I see Cena facing Triple H at SummerSlam
But it begs the question of who Punk's next opponent will be at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship?
John Cena I see him getting retribution somehow on Shawn Michaels beating the holy hell out of HBK sending a strong message to Triple H...I see John Cena snapping tomorrow on RAW and we end up seeing a whole new different Cena in the sense that we will see a much more darker John Cena in the sense of him just attacking whoever and doing it so brutally
Or Cena even though his career is over, I see him somehow attacking Triple H and his cronies especially Triple H over and over again until Triple H ends up caving in and rehiring John Cena

The Wyatts on the SummerSlam poster, I love it, and with them on the poster it only means that they will in some way headline the pay per view which is great but The Wyatts I would love to see them turn their attention to someone else namely the COO of this company Triple H by having Bray and the family target him, now that would make me happy
As for Ryan Braxton, I told you that he would debut the night after Money in the Bank on RAW but it begs the question of how he will debut on RAW? Or if he will be a babyface coming in or if he will be a heel coming in?
As for The Rock, now that he will also be in attendance on RAW tomorrow night, it begs the question of why Rock is back? If he is back to address Brock Lesnar then it makes perfect sense setting up Rock vs Brock II at SummerSlam setting up the WrestleMania 29 rematch at SummerSlam makes sense and especially if Brock Lesnar does in fact show up making a shocking return tomorrow night on RAW then it will for sure be set in stone but if Rock is back because he wants to become WWE Champion targeting Punk, then perhaps Rock could put an end to Punk and Triple H once and for all or Rock is back entirely for something else, then again I can't wait to find out

a great opening contest , it's long a but, nice to see Cesaro wins the Briefcase, i'd like to see Cesaro vs Ohno at Summerslam as i expected , Wyatt Family will get the victory, a nice match another great match and i've no thing to say but ....... YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! a great Divas Match but short a bit , nice to see AJ Lee winning great match, too bad the only one i hate (along side with Sheamus) has won, would've prefered Ziggler , Christian, Cody or any of The Shield (i know there's no shield in your universe) i like the order of matches in your pay per views, the match didn't really impress me but good to see Swagger winning wow , what a great main event, great to see CM Punk retaining, i'm very surprised that Cena's career is over, kidding, we all know he will appear next monday at Raw great show like always, i'm giving it 9.5/10, it's perfect but i don't think Batista's win is a good idea we'll see can't wait for Summerslam

MITB thoughts...
Has a big show vibe
Uso's retaining was right call.
Liked how for me anyway there wasn't a clear favourite in the opening MITB match. Thought Cesaro but wasn't sure. Good match. Cesaro and Ohno's stock has rose coming out of this match and it sets up continues their growing issues perfectly.
Weirdly don't care too much for the Wyatt's rivalry with Hardy and Show think it's Big Show's involvement that bothers me.
Bryan and Orton had for me the match of the night. Passing out finish for me should be used on brave baby faces maybe Orton on the turn now he's finished with Bryan?
Batista winning came as no surprise but that's fine, for me enjoyed the opener more because I didn't no who was going to win but still an enjoyable match. Initially thought Batista being attacked backstage was a fake a set up...
I've enjoyed the Rey/Swagger rivalry it's been a hidden highlight. Shame match only got 6 minutes but understand why.
Main Event time - what hurt the main event for me was I was expecting a screw job finish so I didn't believe the near falls. Match was well written and without a doubt was a good match I was just waiting for the fun to begin. Admittedly you did surprise me with going down the HBK route well done!
Seems like now we'll be seeing a Punk/Batista feud out of this and Cena/HHH & HBK. Only thing I question now is Punk as the face of the company role it doesn't seem to fit.
Overall really good show and I can see why you were excited to get too it

| RUMOR: SETH ROLLINS COULD BE TURNING FACE | BELLA TWINS CONFIRMED FOR RAW RETURN
| Y2J: "I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'M COMING BACK" | According to multiple reports, the Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins could be on the verge of making a face turn in the middle of his lengthy title reign. Rollins, whom won the championship on October 22 of last year against The Miz, has been in some more higher profile matches with the belt than it has seen in recent years. After feuding with Rob Van Dam and facing him at WrestleMania over it, WWE officials grew very high on Rollins.
However, so has the WWE Universe. It is rumored now that Rollins could potentially be making a face turn due to the overwhelming support by the fans. | As the WWE announced a couple of weeks ago with the commercials for Total Divas, The Bella Twins are coming back to the WWE. While Brie is in a relationship with current World Heavyweight Champion, Bryan Danielson, Nikki is in one with fellow big star, John Cena (whom via storyline has had his career ended). While they had agreed to join the cast of Total Divas, the WWE also got the 'dynamic duo' to return to the ring for them in a Diva's division that is somewhat lacking right now.
The Total Diva's television show will also give the WWE to expose some of their upcomers from NXT. | After losing to The Undertaker at WrestleMania, it was anticipated that Chris Jericho was going to be taking some time off. However, Jericho has not been heard of since then at all. There have been no real reports over the months about his possible return and Jericho was asked about it on a local radio show locally near an event Fozzy played at.
"I don't know," Jericho told the broadcast, "I really don't know when I'm coming back. I do think that it is rather inevitable that I come back at some point, y'know? I mean, I'm the ayatollah of rock 'n rollah!" Nonetheless, Jericho sounds like he isn't finished. |

I'll admit, I figured Cena would win and then Triple H would shenanigans the belt either back to CM Punk or to the MITB winner, so kudos on the unexpected swerve, for me anyway.
I'm intrigued to see where you'll go next.

I hope Rollins turns face because he would make such a great babyface and he is one of those heels who is actually getting cheered especially it doesn't matter who he goes up against he will get cheered and he has brought back prestige to the WWE Intercontinental Championship he has made it mean something again and here is hoping he becomes a main eventer soon
Including the NXT divas on Total Divas is actually a great idea as well as other divas in the WWE like Kaitlyn or even Layla
And as for Jericho I expect him to return when we least expect it, it is his way of trolling all of us, he will return either at SummerSlam unexpectedly or he will return at Payback in October or at Survivor Series in November but if he doesn't return then, I am calling it then he returns at the 2014 Royal Rumble making his return during the Royal Rumble Match as a surprise entrant or he returns the night after the 2014 Royal Rumble on RAW

Money In The Bank:
Smackdown Ladder Match: Was definitely expecting Cesaro to win this one, I'm glad he did, Cesaro getting the chance at the World Heavyweight Championship is going to be great, I think he should turn face too and dump Kassius too, he's better without him. He can do well on his own, I like Cesaro even though he's a heel in real-life, Show/Hardy vs Wyatt Family: I knew The Wyatts were going to win free card, but Show accidentally knocking out Hardy, that was a big accident, I'm wondering if Hardy and Show are going to have a feud real soon, or if Bray and Jeff is still happening, I think Jeff could beat Bray at Summerslam, have one final blowoff match between them. Danielson/Orton: Danielson keeps his World Heavyweight Championship against Orton in this grueling match, good choice using the YES Lock Kendo Stick on him, I wonder who is Danielson's next opponent for the World Heavyweight Title. Natalya/AJ: Nice to have AJ retain the Divas Championship RAW Ladder Match: This was very intense to say the least, you had a lot of high-flying moves, OMG spots, I really thought Reigns was going to win the match, but Batista gets a nice victory, he was my pick all the time, but he got laid out by someone, I wonder who knocked him out. Swagger/Mysterio: despite Sin Cara's intereference. Swagger gets the win but I must say I didn't care for the match. Cena/Punk: Ok, this is a shocker, Shawn Michaels intereferes to attack Cena without the ref knocked out, what is the meaning of that, I can't believe you did that, I was hoping Cena was going to win and lose it to the MITB Winner, but I guess I was wrong, ohhh well, Cena's gone, but maybe Vince Mcmahon will bring him back somewhat and we could have a Cena/HHH Match at Summerslam eventually on down the line or Cena vs Michaels at Summerslam, or Cena and Rock vs DX at Summerslam, that could happen, NOT!.
Well anyway great show, like snickelodeon would say, rip a new arse and check out my WWF 1994 Diary.

Alright, I'm gonna give Money in the Bank a read before backtracking and reading the entire diary. I'm not sure what sort of a push you've been giving Cesaro but I'm happy to see him take the briefcase. Big Show and Jeff Hardy vs The Wyatt Family sounds incredibly off in my limited imagination due to my lack of knowledge of your diary but I'm sure you've got your reasons. Glad to see the Wyatts pick it up, Jeff Hardy pushes never work. How long has Danielson been holding onto the belt? I hope you give him a hefty, interesting reign. Going over Orton is common sense. Looks like you've got the divas in the right place, that's always good to see. I fail to see Batista competing in a ladder match but hopefully you're doing something cool with him, he's great when he's used right. I wonder if you've got any plans to push Reigns to the top in the future. Swagger picking up the win is great. Glad to see Punk still clutching onto that belt. Interesting twist with Cena's career being on the line, I'm sure he'll be back in no time. I'll get back to you in the next few days once I've completed your archive, looks like it's going to be a great read.

ITS HERE SO QUIT YOUR WHINING! Ryback and Ezekiel Jackson is an interesting team and I always strive for a strong tag division so kudos there. The Usos retaining is for the best really. Ryan Braxton debut makes me hard. Interesting cast for the Money in the Bank, a few possible winners. I want you to use Antonio Cesaro correctly and push him hard, good match. The Wyatts winning had to happen due to Jeff Hardy winning last month and the handicap situation. Wonder what's going to happen with this heading into SummerSlam. Bryan Danielson retaining was for the best, brutal match. Also curious for where he goes at SummerSlam. AJ Lee retaining is for the best, keep her with the belt for a long time. Man, fantastic group for this Money in the Bank. Legit shocked at Batista winning and I'm sure this will lead to Heeltista, which is great. Real American Jack Swagger feuding with Rey Mysterio seems obvious, though it's been done before. Wait, has it? I don't remember. I know I did it, so you're a copycat. Awesome title match, I figured the Philadelphia crowd would be firmly behind Punk. CM Punk winning was clearly a ballsy move, and having Shawn Michaels get involved was another legit surprise. I obviously doubt this is the end of Cena, but I'd like to see him take some time off to really sell this. Great show and I do look forward to a lot more from this diary. But not until I hit 100 pages first.

In regards to the MITB:
- In the preshow we have the Usos defending their tag team titles against Ryback and Ezekiel Jackson. This is a good move, and like it was stated before, Ryback and Jackson is a strange tag team, but its good that you are looking for different people to help spice up the tag team division
- Next, we start the show off with a bang with a huge WHW title MITB. The match has action throughout and really, in my opinion, makes this the better of the two Money in the Bank matches. Having Cesaro win is predictable in a sense, hope he cashes in the opportunity shortly because he deserves a title. I was kinda pulling for Wade Barrett though.
Again, I have to agree with what was said before. I love Jeff Hardy returning and feuding with the Wyatts straight off the bat, but I don't like the Big Show aspect of it. I can't think of anyone really except for Matt Hardy that would be worthy of tagging with Jeff, everyone else doesn't really have as big as an investment in making sure that Jeff is safe and can eventually defeat the Wyatts, [if thats where you are going with it.] All in all, having the Wyatts win was the right move - In a way, I almost feel like the MITB match that occurred earlier in the show overshadows this match in a way. I wasn't really excited to read it and to be honest, I did skim over it. I am glad that Bryan Danielson got to keep the title though.
- All I gotta say about the divas match is damn you to hell for not letting Natalya pick up a well deserved title reign. AJ Lee is getting a bit boring.
- The second MITB match was not as good as the first due to the fact that you chose Batista to win the match over all the young, worthy talent in the match. Ziggler, Reigns, Ambrose, any one of those guys would have been better than the old, gassed up, Batista. Its upsetting that even with Reigns having Heyman at ringside, he couldn't pick up the win. Hope you have something big in store for him in the future.
- The Rey Mysterio/Jack Swagger feud seems like an add on that should have had more time invested into it. Having Jack Swagger win makes sense, but I wonder what the future holds for both individuals.
- This match hurts my feelings because I have been a John Cena fan all of my life. Having Shawn Michaels attack Cena on what I would assume would be Triple H's behalf is a good idea, although it was somewhat predictable that Cena would probably lose this match, being that his main foe was Triple H. Triple H always gets the job done, whether it is right or wrong. Guessing this means a Cena vs. Triple H/HBK feud if Cena can find his way back into the company.
