Money In The Bank

It's not often you'll find me making a full blog entry about a WWE PPV however last nights Money In The Bank was an exception!

Not only did we have some great warm up matches and then Christian finally beating Randy Orton for the Heavyweight Championship but we were treated to a classic match that actually involved John Cena!

For the record I have never really been a big fan of John Cena. Sure he has fantastic microphone skills but his ring work leaves me cold. In the final match of this PPV, however, something changed. For a start it was a real joy to hear the whole stadium chanting for CM Punk and then booing John Cena, that's right folks, the WWE golden boy was booed big style! This must have been HARD for Cena as at the very worst it's normally a 50/50 split but tonight the world was against him!

As the match commenced Cena was taunted with a massive "You Can't Wrestle" chant. At this point he somehow managed to up the ante and surprise me. Gone was the five move knucklehead and enter a new improved Cena who actually showed that he could actually match CM Punk in the technical wrestling stakes. What then followed was a joyous 30 minutes culminating in CM Punk defeating John Cena and winning the WWE Championship.

This would not normally be a massive deal except that this PPV was CM Punk's last match for WWE as his contract had expired and WWE NEVER let someone leave as a champion. So, what gives here? Has CM Punk got a new contract already or are there some new twists and turns in the WWE story writing stakes yet to come?

Call me sad, I don't care but I LOVE the fact that CM Punk won, I've always been a big fan of his! Tune in to RAW to find out more....................
