Triple H and Stephanie McMahon gleefully (on screen, anyway) stripped Daniel Bryan of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship during the opening segment of the latest installment of Monday Night Raw after Bryan's doctor confirmed, seemingly in both reality and in storyline, that he could not compete at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.This news came as a blow to Bryan's millions of fans, but all hope does not seem to be lost for those who want to see him hoisting both belts again soon. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE plans to put the belt back on Bryan by SummerSlam.
This would mean the winner of the Money in the Bank ladder match for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship would drop the belt (most likely to Bryan barring some other twist) sometime between Money in the Bank and SummerSlam. The plan, as has been reported in the past several weeks, is to build to a match between Bryan and Brock Lesnar at the August pay-per-view.
Of course, if it becomes clear that Bryan is not able to compete by SummerSlam then WWE would likely scrap this entire plan and go in a different direction.
We also don't know all the participants in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match yet, let alone who will win the title. The participants as of this writing are Bray Wyatt, Cesaro, Randy Orton, Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio, with two more slots to fill. John Cena is reportedly going into the match, and Roman Reigns could fill the other slot, though this is pure conjecture at this point.
What do you make of these rumors? Let us know in the comments below.
