WWE Money in the Bank: What Should Happen (Raw Edition)

With CM Punk leaving, this pay-per-view could be an opportunity to fill the void that his departure will create.

The Raw Money in the Bank match has already been announced, and it is finally time that Alberto Del Rio gets put into the spotlight.

The WWE needs someone to replace CM Punk as a top heel on Raw, and Alberto Del Rio is the person to do it.

The WWE continuously gets criticized for the way it uses Alberto Del Rio, and on July 17^th, it will make things right.

It'll be interesting to see how the WWE works the fact that Alberto Del Rio is the new No. 1 contender after his win this past Monday night, but in the end Del Rio will get his push, regardless.

The Miz is another possible candidate to win the match, but with talk that he may turn face, I don’t think that is likely to happen.

And the feud the Miz has going Alex Riley is a win-win for the WWE—it's unlikely that the company will break that up anytime soon. The Miz has been able to put over Riley and make him into a fan favorite, and this dynamic is one of the more intriguing story lines that the organization has going.

The WWE Championship match will be interesting in a lot of ways.

I personally believe there is no way John Cena leaves MITB with the WWE Championship. You have to consider that CM Punk has had good PPV matches over the past few months—we can’t forget the almost show-stealing match he had with Randy Orton at Wrestlemania.

There have been a few reports that there may be a “Chicago Screw-job” in the works, but that’s a little repetitive. The WWE cannot handle having John Cena turn heel. The amount of money pumped into the company thanks to the millions of “Little Jimmies” of the world that are in love with Cena is too good to have thrown away in order to get back at Punk.

CM Punk could leave with the WWE Championship, but the WWE should make the big splash like it usually does and have the winner of the Raw MITB match cash in and take the title. It’s too hard to figure out a way to work out CM Punk leaving with Raw’s major title, and having the Raw MITB winner champion would push either Alberto Del Rio or The Miz up to the top heel spot.

But after CM Punk’s rant on Raw this past week, it would be almost beautiful to watch CM Punk win the WWE Championship.

The WWE has to realize that Cena coming out of MITB with the WWE Championship is just too clichéd. There are so many things the WWE could do with the CM Punk storyline.

That doesn’t mean that the WWE won’t go with its usual “Cena-style” finish. What will probably end up happening is that CM Punk will dominate the entire match until the final moments, then Cena is gonna jump up, hit a few shoulder blocks, spin out powerbomb, five-knuckle shuffle, and AA for the win.

Typical and boring.

If anyone other than John Cena walks out with the WWE Championship, then the WWE did a good job.
