Drew McIntyre is the latest addition to the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. The match will take place on the pay-per-view of the same name on July 18th.
The Scottish Warrior qualified for the match by being victorious in the main event of the June 28th edition of Monday Night RAW. McIntyre was involved in a triple threat match against AJ Styles and Riddle. Drew won the match by hitting a Claymore onto Riddle. AJ Styles was dragged out of the ring by his tag team partner Omos after being hit with an RKO by Riddle, who is currently tagging with the master of the RKO Randy Orton.
It should be noted that the triple threat match was different than to what was originally advertised. The last chance match was supposed to be Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles vs. Drew McIntyre. However, Orton was not on the show. The current reason for the absence is unknown. Instead, a Battle Royal was announced at the start of the show. The winner of this match would proceed to the triple threat main event. Riddle won this match by last eliminating a returning Damian Priest.
McIntyre completes the line-up for the RAW side of the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Currently, Big E is the only star from SmackDown to qualify for the ladder match. If Drew McIntyre wins on July 18th, the cash-in will not be as straightforward as it has been in the past. As a result of losing at Hell in A Cell, Drew can not challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship for as long as Lashley is the WWE Champion. However, Drew can challenge the winner of the Universal Championship. Roman Reigns will defend his title against Edge at Money in the Bank.
Also, the winner of the briefcase does have one year to cash their contract in. This may coincide with a rumoured upcoming draft. More information on this can be found here.
