WWE: Will CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan Ladder Match Happen at Money in the Bank?

From WWE.com:

"

Following a brutal chokeslam that nearly took the last bit of energy out of The Straight Edge Superstar (CM Punk), Kane tried to finish off Punk with a Tombstone piledriver, which prompted AJ to come rushing down to the ring.

The Diva's interference couldn't have been timelier as Punk somehow escaped out of Kane's clutches and shoved Kane into the ropes just as AJ was waiting on the apron. The collision sent AJ flying to the arena floor and left Kane clearly shaken over what he had just done. From there, it was time for The Big Red Monster to Go to Sleep.

"

After the match, Kane carried a seemingly injured AJ to the top of the entrance ramp where AJ suddenly opened her eyes and gave CM Punk a smile.

Many fans are disappointed with the way the match ended. Considering AJ was a a big part of the match buildup, many fans wanted to see more from her besides a bump from the apron. Fans wanted her to convincingly side with one man. Instead, she smiled at Punk and seemed to be playing Kane.

Ultimately, it can be argued that AJ's intentions are still unclear. Who's to say she isn't playing Punk, too?

Regardless, fans should be patient. WWE is just trying to extend the storyline a bit farther.

With nearly five minutes remaining in the match, CM Punk hit the GTS on Daniel Bryan. Before Punk could pin Bryan, Kane threw Bryan outside the ring. Bryan never got back into the ring.

So?

Considering Punk never pinned him, Bryan could probably demand a rematch at the next PPV—Money in the Bank. Also, considering the fact that AJ's intentions are still unclear, there's still a chance that AJ is playing Punk and is really on Daniel Bryan's side.

For those two reasons, I believe that at Money In The Bank 2012 on July 15, two things will happen:

1) Daniel Bryan will defeat CM Punk in a ladder match for the WWE Championship 2) with help from AJ.

Why a ladder match?

Like I wrote in a previous article,

"

What better way to add variety to the CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan feud than to have them face each other in the match type that elevated their careers?

Also, what better way to illustrate the importance of the Money In The Bank ladder match than to showcase (at Money In The Bank) how far two of its winners have come since winning the match?

Why would AJ help Daniel Bryan?

According to WrestlingInc.,

"

For the second pay-per-view in a row, WWE officials reportedly came close to putting the WWE Title on Daniel Bryan. Bryan almost went over CM Punk at WWE's Over the Limit pay-per-view and was discussed as the potential winner at No Way Out.

"

WWE is obviously open to the idea of giving the WWE title to Daniel Bryan. WWE is also obviously open to the idea of having AJ side with Daniel Bryan since AJ's intentions are still unclear and considering she likely would have helped Bryan win last night if WWE had decided to give Bryan the win.

What better way to bring closure to the "crazy chick" storyline than to have AJ reunite with the man that made her crazy in the first place?

Having CM Punk face Daniel Bryan in a one-on-one ladder match at Money In The Bank could also lead to a highly-anticipated Iron Man match at SummerSlam.

What about Kane?

What about him? The poor guy is being played yet again.

Thanks for reading! What do you think? Where is the storyline headed?
