Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up because the road to WWE Money in the Bank is officially here! With three matches already locked in, the excitement is palpable. Besides the classic men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches, we have a returning Seth Rollins ready to duke it out with Damian Priest for the WWE Heavyweight Championship on July 6. But wait, there’s more gossip sizzling backstage!
Rumors, Rumors Everywhere
Speculation was rife about potential showdowns: Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa and Logan Paul vs. LA Knight. But hold onto your hats, folks. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, these epic clashes are actually penciled in for SummerSlam 2024, not Money in the Bank. So, if you were hoping to see these matches in Toronto, you might want to redirect your excitement towards Cleveland’s Browns Stadium where SummerSlam will rock the house four weeks later.
The Cody-Solo Saga
Cody Rhodes recently defended his title against AJ Styles in a brutal “I Quit” match at Clash at the Castle on June 15. After forcing AJ to tap out, Rhodes had a tense face-off with Solo Sikoa, the new Bloodline head honcho. And as per usual Bloodline fashion, Sikoa’s new recruits, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa, jumped in for a surprise ambush. But fear not, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens were there to save the day, adding more fuel to this fiery feud.
LA Knight’s Pool Party Prank
Meanwhile, LA Knight has been stirring the pot with United States Champion Logan Paul. Their beef started on May 31 during “WWE SmackDown” when Knight boldly announced his ambitions to claim the United States Championship. Logan Paul, playing hard to get, stayed away from WWE action, prompting Knight to take a more personal approach—by crashing Paul’s house and taking a dip in his backyard pool! Tonight’s “SmackDown” in Chicago promises more drama as Knight is set to confront Paul officially.
