There are many moments in the last year of WWE that I have greatly been looking forward to putting my own spin on in my own WWE Universe. But some of them, I simply leave them be, because they were perfect as they were. And in this blog, you shall see one of those magic moments. THEY are here… But not just that, it’s time for two people to get in the MONEY!

Now, watch the next clip, but instead of a match between Cody & Solo, just pretend it’s just a brawl… and then everything else you see, is what I’d have happen in my WWE Universe.

And with all the build up done. it is time for MONEY IN THE BANK! And what a card we have… BUT… before we get to that, I have an announcement to make. If it were my WWE Universe, I’d have this be announced during the Kick Off show before MITB goes live… and that is the news that, just as in the current day world of WWE (tomorrow evening as I write this actually)… On Saturday of October Week 2 in my WWE Universe, I will have another PLE… And this one… is for the GIRLS!
But lets get back to the matter at hand, and this incredible card for MONEY IN THE BANK:
MONEY IN THE BANK – Saturday, July Week 4 (Toronto, Canada)
And then finally, the main event, Cody Rhodes, Solo Sikoa, WWE Championship, BLOODLINE RULES!
The match I would have be an absolutely wild affair, following a similar pattern to their IRL SummerSlam match, but with lots more weapons. About the 10 minute mark, I would have Cody be on top, before the Tongans (Loa and Tama) come out to back up THEIR tribal chief. And as Cody is getting the beats, out comes Kevin Owens and Randy Orton to back him up… The two additional teams take each other out, leaving Solo and Cody in the ring, and just as Cody looks to have the match won, JACOB FATU would run out and attack Cody! Solo sets up to give Cody a Samoan Spike, but BRAUN STROWMAN runs out to the ring! Jacob Fatu meets him, and those two monsters take each other out of play, crashing through the barricade at ringside. Eventually Solo is distracted enough to turn around into a Cody Cutter… and then… with both men down… (this is where I need you all to use your imagination, and pretend that the following video is from MONEY IN THE BANK, and not SummerSlam as it was IRL…)…
I would have the following take place…
After that, with Roman looking on from the entrance ramp, Cody hits three Cross Rhodes to Sikoa, and gets the 1,2,3 to retain the WWE Championship! Roman gives a subtle nod of respect to Cody, as the battle lines are drawn, and the ORIGINAL Tribal Chief is BACK!
Well… the Summer has only just begun in my WWE Universe… Drew and Tiffany have MONEY in the bank, the ORIGINAL Tribal Chief is back to claim what is his… and what awaits us all now that THEY are here…!?!?
Josh.
