Bayley recently had her big match completely cancelled, so we’ll what’s going on there.
We’ll also check out what’s going on with The Usos, The Bloodline, and more
Let’s start things off with the big cancellation for Bayley
So over the last few months, Damage Control has had a slow burning breakup story unfolding
They all weren’t on the same page, there was constant confusion, miscommunication,
and just a lot of things going against them over the last few months
And even after Dakota Kai went down, the story still seemed to be continuing with Bayley
and Iyo Sky still have issues communicating and being on the same page
The tension there between Bayley and Iyo led to the big moment of Iyo accepting a challenge
on Bayley’s behalf for Bayley to put her Money In The Bank spot on the line against
Shotzi
It was a big match that was promoted and advertised an entire week in advance and it obviously
seemed like the events that would happen at the end of Bayley versus Shotzi would be important
for the status of Damage Control’s breakup storyline
Will Bayley end up losing her spot?
Will Iyo try costing Bayley the match?
Will Bayley somehow retain her Money In the Bank spot?
How will this affect Bayley and Iyo’s relationship?
For a regular singles match, there was actually a lot at stake and on the line there for their
storyline
But when it actually came to the June 23rd edition of Smackdown, the show that Bayley
versus Shotzi was advertised for, the match was quietly pulled and was nowhere to be seen
And it wasn’t like the match was cancelled and scrapped for a long time
Just three hours before Smackdown aired, Bayley took to Twitter to post a graphic of her match
with Shotzi, she was advertising the match, and talking about how she gonna retain her
Money In The Bank spot to be at London
But three hours later, that match is completely wiped off the show, meaning that it had to
be due to a last second re-write of the script and how changes were made
Bayley’s match being scrapped wasn’t the only thing to be taken away from the June
23rd edition of Smackdown
WWE was also promoting a triple threat match between LA Knight, Santos Escobar, and Butch
to take place on Smackdown, but that too was also changed to LA Knight versus Rey Mysterio
So it was a night full of changes and cancellations
Bayley took to Twitter a few hours after Smackdown ended and after her match was nowhere to be
found, and she posted a gif that had the caption of: “I was fooling ya’ll.
Those were jokes”
So Bayley is taking the situation and responding to it in character, basically being happy
that she didn’t have to put her Money In The Bank spot on the line since the match
was cancelled
But it still has to hurt to have your storyline and your part of the show scrapped at the
very last second before the show goes live
There’s no official word on the exact reasoning behind the match’s cancellation
It wasn’t acknowledged or mentioned at all within the episode of Smackdown
So one theory out there is that it could’ve been due to a time related issue and how something
must’ve ran over time that prevented Bayley and Shotzi from having their match, and have
maybe they’ll have that match next week on Smackdown potentially
And the other theory is that the change and cancellation to the match came from Vince
McMahon himself
Remember that Vince McMahon was never sold on the concept of damage control
Bayley had been pitching the faction for years and Vince McMahon was reportedly never on
board with it
So assuming that he’s still not on board with Damage Control, maybe he did play a role
in the change and decided to have that time go to another story
Maybe Bayley was set to win and retain her Money In The Bank spot, so they figured the
match with Shotzi was pointless?
It’s a very strange cancellation, especially to a match and story they were advertising
so well in advance
But those are the ideas and theories floating around to why this match was scrapped
It looks like Bayley will keep her Money In The Bank spot and will be heading to London
after all
Damage Control’s story progression might have been cancelled from the June 23rd edition
of Raw, but we’re to assume that the story will continue during the women’s money in
the bank match itself
Bayley and Iyo are both in the match and as we all are well aware of, there can only be
one winner
So maybe Bayley and Iyo will start the match off by helping each other, but it’s only
a matter of time before that working relationship implodes within that match
And if Iyo Sky actually wins the Money In The Bank contract, that too would be huge
for the story and we just have to assume that Bayley will be extremely jealous of the fact
that she would basically have to play sidekick and second fiddle to Miss Money In The Bank,
Iyo Sky
So that’s another potential route to take this breakup story in as well, if Iyo is holding
that contract, Bayley most likely won’t be able to hold her composure together for
long and it’ll only be a matter of time before she loses it on Iyo
But that’s the latest for Bayley and Iyo’s storyline
It’s unfortunate that the match with Shotzi was cancelled, but hopefully we do get to
see their story continue in a massive way in the coming weeks here
——————————
Now let’s get into the latest updates with The Bloodline’s civil war storyline
The June 23rd edition of Smackdown kicked off with The Usos making an appearance
The Usos mentioned how they’re getting ready to fight their family
They point out that family obviously isn’t supposed to fight like this and how they’re
supposed to lift each other up, but obviously they didn’t have much of a choice with how
Roman Reigns behaves
Jey said that they still have love for Roman Reigns and how they did everything he would
say for three years, but how the constant disrespect from Roman was just too much
And that’s so important because Jimmy says that they were all raised on respect, so to
constantly be disrespected by someone close in the family definitely hurts
Jey says that the biggest snake of them all is Paul Heyman
For weeks now, Jey Uso has been requesting for Paul Heyman to be removed from the Bloodline,
but he never really explained why until this moment right here
The Usos say that Heyman has known their family for 40 years and is extremely close to them,
yet he takes orders from a guy that wanted to split a pair of brothers up
So that’s why Jey has been so upset with Paul Heyman
He’s supposed to be like an extended family member, yet Heyman isn’t doing anything
to stop what Roman wanted to do
So that’s why The Usos feel betrayed and have this anger towards Paul Heyman as well
They just thought as the special counsel, that Heyman would try to step in and stop
what Roman was doing, but Heyman put in no effort to stop Roman and that’s what has
them furious with Heyman
The Usos also promised to take down Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa at Money In The Bank
Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman were shown walking backstage, Solo delivered a spike to Ridge
Holland after they bumped into each other and Solo said that he wasn’t in the mood
tonight, while Heyman called Roman in the background
Then after Solo’s victory in the main event of the night, The Usos came out to brutally
lay out their younger brother Solo Sikoa
They delivered multiple super kicks to him, gave him a double team splash, and made sure
he stayed down no matter what
The Usos stared down Paul Heyman, while Heyman once again called Roman Reigns
Obviously, Roman Reigns wasn’t booked for this show and with The Usos now being gone
from The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa got a hard dose of reality
When Roman Reigns isn’t around, Solo Sikoa is now completely on his own with only Paul
Heyman as his only backup
So life could get pretty rough for Solo Sikoa in the near future when Roman isn’t around
But Roman will return on the June 30th edition of Smackdown, one day before Money In The
Bank, and he will have a lot to address
Roman will have to address The Usos attacking him from a few weeks ago and he’ll have
to address what they Usos recently did to Solo Sikoa
And we should definitely expect one last face off between both teams on Smackdown before
they meet at Money In The Bank
And whatever happens in the post- match of their Money In The Bank meeting should definitely
give us a clue of where this story is headed next
