WWE Rumors: Possible Plan For Braun Strowman’s MITB Cash-In

Published

Braun Strowman Get These Hands

In case you missed it, ‘The Monster Among Men’ Braun Strowman emerged victorious last night at WWE’s Money In The Bank pay-per-view, climbing the ladder in the evening’s main event to procure the Men’s Money In The Bank briefcase and earn himself an opportunity at the Universal Championship at any time over the next year. Braun’s win has been met with a little bit of criticism, but also questions on how his future cash-in could play out and who the champion may be when does decide to pull the trigger.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Strowman may be cashing in at SummerSlam on August 19th, where it’s believed that Brock Lesnar will be defending the Universal Title against his WrestleMania 34 and Greatest Royal Rumble opponent, Roman Reigns. Previously, Meltzer had reported that Lesnar was not confirmed for any WWE dates (which you can read here), including SummerSlam, however it still looks like Brock vs. Roman is still in fact the plan. At this time, nothing has been confirmed and it should be noted that this is still just speculation.

EA’s Take: Dude…Meltzer flip-flops more than some overpriced footwear from Abercrombie & Fitch. I never bought that Reigns vs. Lesnar wasn’t the plan for SummerSlam and quite frankly, Braun cashing in there makes the most sense. The crowd in Brooklyn will unquestionably be displeased with yet another clash between ‘The Beast Incarnate’ and ‘The Big Dog’. So personally, I’d love to see a scheduled cash-in like we saw with Rob Van Dam back in 2006. If you don’t remember, RVD won Money In The Bank at WrestleMania 22, then later announced he would be taking his opportunity at the ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view where he eventually defeated John Cena for his one and only WWE Championship reign. A scheduled cash-in would fit with Braun’s character much more, in my opinion. Just think about it. He’s a monster and doesn’t need to take advantage of a weakened champion. So I’d play that angle up and turn this Reigns/Lesnar SummerSlam match into a Triple Threat.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
