After the busy week we had in the World of Wrestling, this week things seemed to calm down, sort of. This week Raw was in disarray, all thanks to Punk and his controversial promo from the week before. John Cena met face-to-face with Vince McMahon. Cena and McMahon argued about CM Punk’s suspension. In the end, McMahon reinstated CM Punk, but it came at a price. Vince gave Cena an ultimatum. If CM Punk walks out of Money in the Bank with the WWE Championship, John Cena will be fired! Seems like this whole John Cena vs. CM Punk angle has gotten even more interesting. Other than the continued saga of John Cena, CM Punk and now Vince McMahon, there were no other news-worthy stories in the World of Wrestling. This week saw quite a few quality matches grace our television screens. In the end, Alberto Del Rio vs. Rey Mysterio vs. R-Truth from Raw bested both Jack Evans vs. Tony Nesse vs. Jesse Sorensen and AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels vs. RVD vs. Jerry Lynn for the Silverdome Match of the Week.
Due to Punk’s suspension, the WWE needed to find a suitable replacement in the WWE Championship Match booked for Money in the Bank. So this match was made. Once the bell rang, Del Rio rushed R-Truth stunning the psychotic superstar. Right after taking down Truth, Del Rio went straight for Mysterio. Rey tried to avoid the Mexican Aristocrat’s onslaught, but it was no use. Del Rio took down Mysterio and immediately went for an early cover. After the failed pin attempt, Del Rio turned his attention to R-Truth who was outside on the ring floor. Del Rio battled with Truth until Mysterio went for a dive through the opening in the ropes. The King of Mystery would never reach his mark as Truth would intercept Rey’s dive with a fist to the face. From that moment, R-Truth took control of the match sending both his opponent’s into the barricade and continually beating down Del Rio and Mysterio. Truth’s reign of dominance over Del Rio and Mysterio would come to an end with one incredible move. R-Truth went to hit a superplex on Mysterio when Alberto Del Rio came out of nowhere and lifted Truth on his shoulders. Del Rio’s little move gave Rey enough time to hit a Doomsday Device-like splash on R-Truth while he was sitting on Del Rio’s shoulders. Once all three superstars recovered from the big move, all hell broke loose as each man went for everything they got. On two separate occasions, both R-Truth and Alberto Del Rio tried to hit a suplex on Rey Mysterio only to be stopped by the other superstar. Del Rio then tried for a German Suplex on Rey Mysterio, but Mysterio would block the move. While Del Rio had Mysterio in his grip, Truth hit a sunset flip on the Mexican Aristocrat which gave Del Rio enough momentum to send Mysterio flying. With the advantage, R-Truth hit the Axe Kick on Mysterio and went for a pin attempt. As the ref’s hand was coming down for three, Mysterio kicked out. Looking to take the advantage, Del Rio rushed full force at Truth. R-Truth dodged right before Del Rio connecting thus causing Del Rio to run right into the ring post. Del Rio’s failed shoulder tackle gave Mysterio enough time to recover and hit R-Truth with the 619 and splash finisher. As Mysterio went for the pin attempt Del Rio ran in and locked Mysterio in the Cross Armbreaker for the submission victory. With this victory, the Mexican Aristocrat, even though he will not be receiving his title shot at Money in the Bank due to CM Punk being reinstated, is one step closer to his self-proclaimed destiny. No matter if CM Punk or John Cena walks away with the WWE Championship match at Money in the Bank, Alberto Del Rio is the next one in line for a title shot, but you… you already know that.
We got one exciting week ahead. This Sunday night, TNA Wrestling presents their all X Division PPV Destination X. Expectations are high for this PPV with the return of the six-sided ring and TNA’s focus on actual wrestling. Then on Monday, Raw emanates from Boston in what should be an explosive show as CM Punk makes his final appearance on Raw. On Thursday, TNA presents a rather packed episode of Impact Wrestling capped off by the newly psychotic Sting challenging Mr. Anderson for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. It should be one crazy week to say the least. Well that is all for this weekend. Have a wonderful and rather hot summer week and see you next week. Cheers.
