<\/div>\n

You could\u2019ve tried to hold onto your hat with all of your strength and it still would\u2019ve been blown away by some of the events of this year\u2019s Money in the Bank in Toronto. On Saturday, the WWE witnessed two of the best ladder matches in the history of the promotion, and that is not an exaggeration, along with CM Punk returning to give hands to Drew McIntyre; and feet, and a chair, and a title belt to the face.<\/p>\n

And in doing so, he assured Priest remained champion, infuriating Seth Rollins in the process and reigniting that feud in a big way ahead of Summerslam on August 3; and the actions of Punk and McIntyre have led to severe consequences for the latter<\/span> … if they can actually be enforced.<\/p>\n

Hint, hint.<\/p>\n

FULL RECAP OF CONTROVERSIAL MITB EVENT HERE.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh and, by the way, John Cena announced his retirement tour \u2014 a bombshell dropped in the middle of all of the action. <\/p>\n

The Bloodline found a way to steal victory from Kevin Owens, Randy Orton and WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, by way of an injured and discombobulated referee, keeping their trajectory pointed north with the return of Roman Reigns looming.<\/p>\n

WATCH: MCINTYRE GOES BALLISTIC AFTER CM PUNK ATTACK<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s division saw Tiffy Time become Tiffy in the Bank after Stratton took the victory and the briefcase following a jaw-dropping showing by each of the six contenders, then pulling up on Trish Stratus to challenge her<\/span> to in-ring action in what could be a wonderfully-timed program serving as a possible passing of the torch opportunity.<\/p>\n

And as the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour continues to scorch the Earth beneath it, her social media and in-ring war with Zelina Vega<\/span> has evolved into Morgan’s first-ever tag team match with none other than “Daddy” Dom Mysterio \u2014 after having accidentally cost Dom a win over Rey last week and promising to make it up to him.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for the MITB fallout episode of RAW, and there is a lot to unpack going into it, and inevitably plenty more to sift through by the time the credits start rolling. <\/p>\n

Punk Rock<\/h2>\n

CM Punk is doing just fine, even after being hit with one \u2014 a fine \u2014 for his actions at Money in the Bank in screwing over Drew McIntyre for a third time, this time also making the men\u2019s briefcase completely moot for the next 12 months. McIntyre went ape sh-t afterwards and assaulted Adam Pearce, leading to an indefinite suspension, or so we\u2019re to believe.<\/p>\n

For Punk, that means there\u2019s no better time to cut a visceral mic promo without having to look over his back as he did in Chicago a few weeks ago when he was assaulted out of nowhere by McIntyre. <\/p>\n

Punk first paid homage to John Cena by congratulating him on his retirement, though he did promise to \u201cdrag him out of retirement\u201d one day<\/span>, also stating he hopes to \u201clace \u2018em up one more time\u201d with Cena before the retirement becomes official in December 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut John Cena is not here. I\u2019m here, but there\u2019s someone else who isn\u2019t here and that\u2019s Drew McIntyre,\u201d said Punk before reminding everyone about the promise that McIntyre would never again be champion while Punk is breathing.<\/p>\n

\u201cPromise fulfilled,\u201d he shouted. <\/p>\n

Then cave the curveball: Punk actually asked Pearce to lift the suspension on McIntyre.<\/p>\n

But instead of getting Pearce to the ring, he got Seth Rollins, and to a stellar pop. Punk might\u2019ve forgotten that the other consequence for his actions at Money in the Bank is throwing a lit match back onto the pool of gasoline that is Rollins\u2019 rabid hate of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I somehow screwed things up for you and your little pipe dream \u2014 I\u2019m trying to apologize to you so pay attention \u2014 I\u2019m sorry,\u201d said Punk. \u201cI apologize. I didn\u2019t mean to screw anything up for you. I\u2019m a little snow blind with rage \u2026 but because it\u2019s you, I can\u2019t really be that sorry, can I?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ah, there it is, the sneaky backhand slap.<\/p>\n

Rollins made a promise of his own: that Punk \u201cwon\u2019t be able to say Drew McIntyre\u2019s name before I snap your arm again and put you back on the shelf.\u201d<\/p>\n

Triple threat match at Summerslam, anyone?<\/p>\n

Book it, Paul.<\/p>\n

Chad Gable vs. Jey Uso <\/h2>\n

Result<\/strong>: Uso wins \u201cclean\u201d (pinfall)<\/p>\n

Reaction<\/strong>: This one started to simmer prior to Money in the Bank, when Gable interrupted Uso\u2019s MITB in-ring promo to basically tell him he\u2019s not worthy of the briefcase and that only Gable is, considering what he\u2019s \u201cbeen through\u201d (air quotes here) regarding the Alpha Academy and the Wyatt Sicks (6).<\/p>\n

Neither AA nor TW6 appeared in Toronto though, and it was simply Gable losing out on a chance at the briefcase as Uso was nearly the winner before McIntyre threw a ladder upwards at him as he was trying to unhinge the case.<\/p>\n

The journey for both Gable and Uso to earn their first-ever singles title in WWE continues, and they\u2019re apparently now in each other\u2019s way.<\/p>\n

The last time these two were in the ring together, the Wyatt Sicks (6) made an appearance, so eyes were peeled for more potential terror in that regard. <\/p>\n

Gable, ribs wrapped from his brawl against Uso and Co. in the Money in the Bank match, got off to a fast start and that included with his taunts. As a related sidebar, thank goodness that near-botch by Jey outside of the ring on the bump from the body toss ended favorably because, for a split second, it looked like he was going to land on his neck.<\/p>\n

Disaster averted by the talented veteran, who literally adjusted at the last second in mid-air.<\/p>\n

Now back to the match itself.<\/p>\n

It felt as if most of the punishment handed out was at the hand of Gable in this one, seemingly far more angry and focused than was Jey, at least mostly. A suicide dive helped change that a bit for the lone wolf of The Bloodline. Throw in several Yeet slaps and he was finally eating, that was until he took his time climbing the top rope and got yanked off of it.<\/p>\n

Gable went for the ankle lock and \u2026 black out \u2026 fireflies \u2026. <\/p>\n

Superkick to a terrified Gable, pinfall. Jey Uso wins \u2026 and then high tails it out of there as the smoke emanated into the ring around a downed Gable. <\/p>\n

THE WYATT SICKS WANTS YOU, CHAD.<\/p>\n

They also want Michael Cole\u2019s attention for a third consecutive week, as Abigail the Witch placed yet another package in front of him, and we all need to know what Brad Pitt demanded to know from Morgan Freeman in the legendary movie Se7en:<\/p>\n
