Big Cass just returned to the ring after spending several months on the shelf with an ACL injury, and he was immediately put into a top feud against Daniel Bryan on the Smackdown roster. Big Cass still has a lot of work to do before he can be a true top star in WWE, but it is clear that the company is hopeful that he will be a true breakout star at some point. It was reported online that Cass may have suffered another injury when he was seen limping at a WWE live event in Amsterdam over the weekend. Wrestling Inc. has since clarified that Big Cass was only limping because he was selling an injury from the beating that Daniel Bryan gave him on Smackdown this past Tuesday night.
It looks like both Money in the Bank matches will finally be set during Raw and Smackdown this week. The men’s Money in the Bank participants will be finalized on Smackdown with a match between Big Cass and Samoa Joe determining who will get the final spot. Lana and Billie Kay will face off this Tuesday with a spot in the women’s ladder match on the line, but another qualifying match has just been announced for this week. Smackdown General Manager Paige has officially made a qualifying match between Sonya Deville and Naomi official. It is likely that additional qualifying matches will take place on Raw the night before to determine the final two entrants in the women’s Money in the Bank match.
.@WWE_MandyRose and I will always be a team, but I didn’t tap out on #SDLive last week. So I still deserve my opportunity to qualify for #MITB. Make it happen, boss. @RealPaigeWWE

There’s been some skepticism from fans regarding the legitimacy of Nikki Bella and John Cena’s breakup over the past few days. Cena publicly stated that he wants to get back together with Nikki and have children with her, but the couple has not officially announced that they will be continuing their relationship yet. However, TMZ just reported that John Cena flew to San Diego and that he and Nikki apparently met for coffee while he was in town. Nikki Bella denied that the breakup was staged earlier this week, but either way, it looks like these two WWE Superstars could be getting back together after all. The final days of their previously existing relationship will be featured on the new season Total Bellas, which premieres later tonight.
