Blackout: A Crazy Week in WWE! “Money In The Bank,” “World’s Collide,” “Monday Night Raw” (June 9) Recaps and Reviews | Ep. 30
Title changes, face turns, surprise returns, and long-awaited victories — WWE turned the wrestling world on Tilt this past week, delivering one of the most unpredictable stretches in recent memory. From emotional moments to jaw-dropping swerves, fans were left breathless as WWE kept the gas pedal floored.
The biggest shocker came when Jey Uso dropped the World Heavyweight Championship to Gunther, ending his reign just as momentum seemed to be building. The Ring General capitalized on a Jey being involved in chaotic series of events, reestablishing himself as one of the company’s most dominant forces. But the aftermath of the match was just the beginning of an insane sequence of surprises.
R-Truth’s storyline “release” turned into a full-circle return, but not in the way fans expected. Truth came back at Money In The Bank, channeling his TNA-era Ron “The Truth” Killings persona, gaining a measure of retribution on John Cena. 48 hours later on Monday Night Raw, he delivered a fiery promo and and even cut his signature dreds live on air in a symbolic rebirth. It was part redemption, part reinvention — and completely unforgettable.
But WWE Creative wasn’t done in the kitchen cheffing up. In a massive character shift, Jacob Fatu officially turned face, costing Solo Sikoa the Men’s Money In The Bank briefcase and effectively cutting ties with the former Tribal Chief.
Meanwhile, Seth Rollins’ faction kept their grip on power, ensuring the Visionary secured the Men’s Money In The Bank briefcase, setting him up to reclaim major Gold. Rollins’ loyal circle — still tight-knit and lethal — showed that unity is their most dangerous weapon.
On the women’s side, Naomi finally had her moment, winning the Women’s Money In The Bank briefcase on her fifth attempt. It was a deeply emotional victory for one of WWE’s most enduring stars, signaling her reemergence as a major player in the women’s division.
And of course, none of this escaped the microscope of The Rap On Wrestling Podcast, where our crew dissected every twist and turn. From debating the long-term impact of Jacob Fatu’s face turn, to analyzing whether Jey Uso’s title loss was premature, to celebrating Naomi’s long-overdue win — we’re covering it all, including “World’s Collide.”
Did WWE make the right calls this week? We break it all down.
