It
was all about the “Money” in Philadelphia last night, and Damien Sandow
and Randy Orton found themselves rolling in riches when they won their
respective Money in the Bank Ladder Matches. With the two devious
Superstars declaring open season on the World Titles, how soon before
they make their plays for championship gold? And how soon before Paul
Heyman faces the music with CM Punk? Here are five things to watch out
for on a game-changing Raw.
Scholar, yes. But a gentleman?
Damien Sandow truly proved himself the smartest
man in the World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money in the Bank
Ladder Match, taking refuge from the chaos and seizing the coveted
contract by betraying his tag partner and best friend, Cody Rhodes, at
the bout’s moment of truth. Given the enormity of Cody’s efforts in the
match and the lows with which Sandow sunk to steal the win, will Team
Rhodes Scholars’ bonds of friendship begin to fray?
Snake in the grass
Looks like John Cena’s got himself a viper to deal with. Randy Orton earned the latest accolade in his storied career by capturing his first-ever Money
in the Bank Contract, earning himself an opportunity to win the WWE
Title whenever he likes. It’s unlikely that the methodical Orton will
announce his opportunity like Cena did last year, so how will The Champ
cope with perhaps his most vicious foe waiting in the wings? On a
similar note, will The World’s Strongest Man make another play for the
WWE Title? Or will a new challenger, like Rob Van Dam, emerge to step
up?
Love really does bite
Love
means never having to say you’re sorry, but AJ Lee will be all but
spewing apologies following her ill-conceived intrusion into Dolph
Ziggler’s World Title Match against Alberto Del Rio at Money in the
Bank. The interference
cost The Showoff the match and
kept the title in The Essence of Excellence’s clutches, but the damage
to Dolph’s momentum and relationship may be twofold. How will The
Showoff recover from the twin disappointments? More importantly, which
will he address first?
Knockaround (Heyman) Guys
Well, that’s one way to sever a friendship. CM
Punk professionally distanced himself from Paul Heyman weeks ago, but
the mad scientist upped the ante at Money in the Bank and
viciously attacked his
former protégé with a ladder. The assault cost Punk the WWE Title
Contract that eventually went to Orton (Punk was alone in the ring at
the time of Heyman’s strike), so it stands to reason that Punk may try
and make the mad scientist go to sleep on Raw.
The family returns
The Wyatt Family made one of the
most memorable debuts in WWE history last week when they attacked Kane with the steel steps and put The Devil’s Favorite Demon out of action for
Money in the Bank. Which, of course, begs the question of why? With
Kane’s status for Monday still undetermined, will the backwoods troika
provide answers for their assault? Tune in tonight at 8/7 CT on USA
Network to find out.
