Predicting the Champions After Clash of Champions
…
It appears that WWE has banned yet another word from being used on WWE programming.
Bryan Alvarez mentioned on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Live that the company is no longer using the term “Money in the Bank Briefcase.” Moving forward announcers and talent will refer to the briefcase as the “Money in the Bank contract.”
As seen on Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown Live, Daniel Bryan suspended James Ellsworth for 30 days and fined him $10,000 for his involvement in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder matches. He also added that if he violates the terms, Carmella will be stripped of her MITB briefcase.
Carmella and Ellsworth both took to Twitter and made the following remarks in regards to the suspension:
After their teased angle during the Money in the Bank ladder match a couple weeks back, it’s being speculated that Nakamura will face AJ Styles at this year’s SummerSlam event. Bryan Alvarez discussed the possibilities of this match taking place when a listener called in asking about it going down.
Alvarez said, “I think that is the match. I would say with some degree of confidence that you’re gonna see Styles and Nakamura against each other at SummerSlam. That was the whole idea behind the tease they did at the Money In The Bank show.”
Other matches rumored for the event include Cena vs. Jinder Mahal and Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns. We will keep you updated if we hear of any other matches that are expected to be added to the card.
