Report: Update On Money In The Bank

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, via wrestlinginc.com, the WWE will only be having a single MITB ladder match at the ppv at the end of June. While it doesn't specifically state that it'll be for a shot at the WWE WHC, they probably felt there was no need as it's obviously what WWE has in mind. As of right now, Cesaro is the front-runner to win the match, but no decision has been finalized as of right now.



If WWE is going the route of only have one of the gimmick matches at the themed ppvs, I think it's time to scrap the theme ppvs altogether. It's become the standard for Elimination Chamber, Hell in a Cell and now Money in the Bank. I don't see why they don't utilize one of the gimmick matches for one of the mid-card titles. Personally, I think it could add a little spice to the mid-card title picture.



As for Cesaro allegedly the front-runner, it's not as much of a surprise now as it would have been had this info come out a few months ago. I think most of us expected The Shield to have been broken up by now with Roman Reigns moving up the singles ranks. The Shield break up has either been pushed back or scrapped altogether, so there's no telling what this means in terms of Reigns' rumored singles push.
