Intercontinental Champion Ryback vs. Big Show
Two colossal forces collide this Sunday at WWE Money in the Bank as
new Intercontinental Champion Ryback squares off against Big Show.
Less
than 24 hours after his brutal title victory inside the career-altering
Elimination Chamber, Ryback was set to go to battle with The Miz on the
June 1 edition of Monday Night Raw. However, before the bell could
ring, The World’s Largest Athlete stormed back into WWE and paced
stoically toward the squared circle.
Standing silently opposed
to both champion and challenger, Big Show loaded his fist for a
potential KO Punch in the face of Ryback, then suddenly switched course
and connected with the brutal blow to the A-Lister. The giant then made
it clear that he will be the one to dethrone The Big Guy for the
Intercontinental Title.

The
showdown for the coveted championship between the two Superstars
promises to be an intense encounter. Prior to his sabbatical, Big Show
won The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 31, once
again establishing himself as one of the most dominant Superstars on the
roster. However, during the giant’s absence, The Human Wrecking Ball
has taken on all challengers, culminating with his victory inside the
steel confines of the Elimination Chamber to claim his first singles
championship in WWE.
Will Big Show deliver a fatal blow to The Big
Guy’s first title reign? Find out at WWE Money in the Bank, live this
Sunday at 8 p.m ET/5 p.m PT on WWE Network.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose (Ladder Match)
Seth
Rollins will try to repossess his WWE World Heavyweight Championship
from Dean Ambrose when he faces Ambrose in a dangerous championship
Ladder Match at WWE Money in the Bank 2015. The first Superstar on June
14 to scale a ladder and grab WWE’s top prize from high above the ring
will be declared the victor.
Though Ambrose and much of the WWE
Universe may already consider The Lunatic Fringe the rightful WWE World
Heavyweight Champion following the events of WWE Elimination Chamber,
Rollins remains the titleholder on record. Ambrose pinned Rollins in a
thrilling but controversial match that saw two WWE referees issue
contradictory rulings. Ultimately, the official decision was ruled a
disqualification win for Ambrose, meaning Rollins retained the title.

Unsatisfied with the outcome, however, the WWE Universe’s most beloved outlaw absconded with the championship.
Ambrose’s
needling of The Authority’s poster boy is reminiscent of last year,
when The Lunatic Fringe hijacked Rollins’ Money in the Bank briefcase.
In that instance, Ambrose stole the coveted briefcase because Rollins
and The Authority metaphorically stole the Money in the Bank Ladder
Match victory from The Lunatic Fringe in the first place, with Kane
assisting Rollins and preventing Ambrose from winning.
Since The
Shield’s breakup, Ambrose and Rollins have gone at it hammer and tongs
(and ladders) in a variety of dangerous matches, with each conflict
raising the stakes and intensity of the one before it. What will happen
at Money in the Bank when Ambrose again sets his sights on the Superstar
who betrayed him?
Will The Lunatic Fringe finally make Rollins
pay the ultimate price, the WWE World Heavyweight Title? Or will
Rollins, so obsessed with regaining his title, rise to the challenge of
the unpredictable Ambrose? Watch Money in the Bank live on

8-Superstar Ladder Match at WrestleMania and
inside the Elimination Chamber at
the end of May. He’s come up short thus far, but he’ll look to build
momentum against the hard-hitting Barrett in Columbus, Ohio.

WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day vs. The Prime Time Players
At WWE Money in the Bank, The New Day will go head-to-head with The
Prime Time Players for the WWE Tag Team Championship live on WWE Network
June 14.
The showdown will take place in the wake of the first
Elimination Chamber Match for the coveted championship. Of the five
explosive teams who challenged the reigning titleholders, Titus O'Neil
& Darren Young were the last tandem eliminated. This is quite a feat
considering that the entire New Day trio – Kofi Kingston, Big E &
Xavier Woods – were granted permission to compete in the contest and use
the numbers game to their advantage.
Eager to finish the job, the
“millions of dollars” duo triumphed in a Triple Threat Match on
SmackDown, overcoming the high-flying Lucha Dragons and the dangerous
Ascension to become No. 1 contenders.
While the tandem of O’Neil
& Young looks impressive, no one should underestimate the power of
positivity. Like them or hate them – and quite honestly, most people
hate them – the combination of Kingston, Big E & Woods have proven
to be quite cunning since seizing the WWE Tag Team Titles. Not only does
each possess his own unique skills, but they have adapted the idea of
“Freebird Rules” in their matches, meaning their challengers never know
who in the team they will be facing.
Find out who will emerge from
WWE Money in the Bank with the WWE Tag Team Championship in their
grasp, live Sunday, June 14, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on WWE Network.
John Cena vs. Kevin Owens
The unthinkable happened when NXT Champion
Kevin Owens defeated
John Cena at WWE Elimination Chamber. At Money in the Bank 2015, The
Champ will get the opportunity to redeem himself when he faces Owens in a
highly-anticipated rematch.
Though Owens has only been in WWE
since December, he has made the most of the past six months. He debuted
in impressive fashion at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution, only to bulldoze his
longtime friend Sami Zayn. Two months to the day after, he destroyed
Zayn to capture the NXT Championship, then pummeled Zayn into the canvas
in their rematch at TakeOver: Unstoppable.
In the midst of all that, Owens made his way up to the main roster and stepped up to the biggest dog in the yard, flooring
Cena with his devastating Pop-up Powerbomb on several occasions.
For
his brash display of aggression, The Authority rewarded the NXT
Champion with a one-on-one bout against Cena at Elimination Chamber. And
though Owens had never stepped in the ring with a competitor like John
Cena, the NXT Champion showed no nervousness in the ring, answering
everything Cena threw at him. Kevin Owens shocked the world when he
drove The Champ into the canvas with the Pop-up Powerbomb to pick up the
biggest win of his 15-year career.
See photos from their first encounter
As
cameras broadcast the shocked reactions of the Cenation live to the
world, Owens stood in the ring and followed up on his career-making
victory with a bold statement: “It’s time for John Cena to go.”
Can
Owens prove that his victory at Elimination Chamber was no fluke, or
will Cena make the NXT Champion eat his words? Find out at Money in the
Bank, live Sunday, June 14, on the award-winning WWE Network!
