WWE Money in the Bank is scheduled for Sunday and one of the matches that should be interesting to see is that between WWE Heavyweight champion Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
While Rollins is the official champion, he is walking around without the WWE belt around his waist.
To recall, Ambrose defeated Rollins at WWE Elimination Chamber but failed to snag the title since he won via disqualification. So Ambrose did the next best thing to being seen as a champion, he stole the belt and left Rollins and the rest of the Authority trying to catch him.
Ambrose is of course not doing it alone. He has buddy Roman Reigns by his side as both somehow rekindle their ways when they were part of Shield.
Rollins knows the feeling and for once, he is the one being played on by his former teammates. He is irate and has gone nuts, agreeing to a ladder match this coming Sunday in Columbus, Ohio which stands to provide another punishing and spectacular main event for the WWE Universe.
The odds seem to be pretty much even now though it would all depend on how outside interference would play a part during the match. To be exact two figures – Kane and Reigns.
With interference legal, this means there will be no disqualifications in the match. The only way to win the belt is by getting it using a ladder as it hangs above the WWE ring.
Ladders can also be used as weapons to wear out an opponent and such is something to be expected at WWE MOTB.
Though Ambrose was impressive at WWE Elimination Chamber, there is no guarantee that he can replicate that feat at WWE MOTB. In fact, there could be a scenario where his alliance with Reigns could backfire. Consider the thought of Reigns getting his nose in and costing Ambrose a chance to win the title from above. In a ladder match, a slight nudge could tile the ladder and sway the tide to the favour of the other.
The same scenario holds true for Rollins. Kane has long been known to interfere and cost Rollins matches. At times, there would be instances where he would do the ‘right thing’ but eventually becomes a wrong one at Rollin’s’ cost.
If not that way, Kane could go ballistic once again, vent his anger on Rollins and tilt the tide towards Ambrose’ way.
Summing it all up, it may be a ‘miscalculation’ or ‘timing’ that could make or break for either competitor in the ladder match.
How about Brock Lesnar?
The Beast Incarnate has yet to be seen in action and he could make an appearance at the PPV. He would of course go after Rollins but not necessarily cost him the match. He could make it look like he is going after Rollins but beat down Ambrose and Reigns to allow Rollins to escape as the champion.
Lesnar wants to face Rollins as the WWE champion and give him a beating. Lesnar is still sore for that botched rematch which Rollins turned his back on. Allowing Rollins to win will allow him to punish him while also setting his eyes at reclaiming the WWE belt.
This speculation somewhat makes sense as Lesnar is expected to go up against Rollins at WWE SummerSlam which happens after one more pay-per-view, WWE Battleground. The WWE needs to set ample time for the Rollins vs. Lesnar to heat up and that could happen at WWE Money in the Bank at the earliest.
WWE Money in the Bank takes place this Sunday, June 14, 2015, 8 p.m. ET and 5 p.m. PT at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The event can be watched via subscription over the WWE Network.
