News and rumors for Money in the Bank 2013

Daniel Bryan a big winner coming out of money in the bank:
Daniel Bryan is the hottest star in the WWE right now, and after rumors surfaced last month that he would fight John Cena at Money in the Bank for the WWE Championship, per Wrestling Inc., the monster push being reported could be coming to fruition at Money in the Bank.
While the WWE could have Bryan just earn a title shot after Henry loses, winning the Money in the Bank briefcase and cashing it in at SummerSlam as a face would be the smartest plan for the company.
According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter via Marc Middleton of Wrestling Inc., this is a very real possibility:

Almost everyone within WWE says Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena is a lock for SummerSlam and that it won't be pulled like it was at Money in the Bank. There are forces within the company pushing for Bryan to win the WWE Title from Cena.

There was some talk that Bryan would be turning heel to square off against Cena for the championship, but with the in-ring master getting ovations from the crowd unlike anyone else in the business right now, keeping him as a good guy is the only real option.



Brock Lesnar scheduled for Post-Money in the Bank Raw:
Former WWE champion CM Punk is a serious favorite to win the ladder match, but with an obvious matchup against Brock Lesnar brewing heading into SummerSlam, how Punk loses at Money in the Bank is very important.
There is always a possibility that Lesnar costs Punk the victory, and according to Raj Giri of Wrestling Inc., the former UFC champion is scheduled to be in Brooklyn for the Raw following the PPV:

Brock Lesnar, Rob Van Dam, Vince McMahon and Triple H are all scheduled for the post-Money In The Bank RAW on July 15th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The advertised dark match is John Cena vs. Mark Henry.

The WWE could just simply have Lesnar appear on Monday without making an impact at the PPV, but what better way to explain Punk’s lose in the match and build even more bad blood than by having the Beast Incarnate influence the match outcome?
As if Philadelphia needed another reason to explode, watching Lesnar F’5 Punk would be unforgettable.


Pre-Raw Money in the Bank card:
As opposed to many other PPVs, Sunday’s card for the Money in the Bank event has already been decided. Monday’s go-home edition of Raw will be about putting the finishing touches on the company’s storylines.

WWE Champion John Cena vs. Mark Henry
World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler
WWE Championship Money in the Bank All-Stars Ladder Match
World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Divas Champion AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn
Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel vs. The Miz
Chris Jericho vs. Ryback
WWE Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns vs. The Usos (Kickoff Match)

It’s great to see the WWE planning ahead for this event, but this is all about setting the groundwork for August's SummerSlam PPV. The company invests so much into that show, and Money in the Bank is the perfect appetizer for the main course.
Not only will the direction of the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships be determined in the ladder matches, the possibilities for swerves in each title bout makes this the perfect opportunity for the company to posture for the following PPV.
This show will be flat-out amazing.
