What’s the Story?
James Ellsworth and Carmella caused some major controversy at Money in the Bank, and the authority figures aren’t having any of it.
SmackDown General Manager took to Twitter to inform the fans that he would be taking action against Carmella and Ellsworth for their actions in the Women’s Money in the Bank Match.
In case you didn’t know...
Commissioner Shane McMahon announced that Becky Lynch, Carmella, Charlotte, Natalya, and Tamina would all compete in the first ever Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view tonight.
Bryan hasn’t been on WWE programming since April 11, 2017. The main reason he has been off TV for the past two months has been to the anticipation of the birth of his and Brie Bella’s child, Birdie Joe Danielson.
The Heart of the Matter
During the Women’s Money in the Bank match, Becky Lynch seemed to have the briefcase within her grasp but was ultimately foiled by Carmella’s valet, Ellsworth.
After knocking Lynch off of the ladder, Ellsworth would ascend the ladder, retrieve the briefcase, and give it to Carmella.
The referees conferred on the decision at ringside, but Ellsworth would grab the mic and proclaim that Carmella was the winner and the first ever Ms. Money in the Bank.
What’s Next?
Bryan’s tweet only addresses Carmella and Ellsworth as wrestlers he’d be addressing on this week’s SmackDown Live, but Becky Lynch may come out during the confrontation to discuss being cheated out of the Money in the Bank contract. Commissioner Shane McMahon may address the situation this Tuesday as well as he took to Twitter to comment on the matter as well.
Carmella and Ellsworth would also address the controversy on social media
Tune in this Tuesday to see what the authorities do to address this situation.
Author’s take
The dynamic between Carmella and Ellsworth was going nowhere, but this latest development has injected some major interest into both superstars. What lies in store for those two this Tuesday should make for quite the interesting development.
