ZitatAlles anzeigenBaron Corbin Cashes In His Money In The Bank Briefcase (Video)
Last Night's SummerSlam go-home edition of WWE SmackDown from Providence saw Baron Corbin unsuccessfully cash in his Money In the Bank title shot against WWE Champion Jinder Mahal.
After attacking John Cena during the Cena vs. Mahal non-title main event and causing the disqualification, Corbin returned to the ring and cashed in his briefcase while Jinder was down on the mat. The referee finally started the match but Cena jumped up on the apron and distracted Corbin, allowing Jinder to roll Corbin up and retain.
Corbin will now go on to face Cena at the SummerSlam pay-per-view on Sunday while Jinder will defend his title against Shinsuke Nakamura. Corbin joins Cena and Damien Sandow as the only three Superstars to unsuccessfully cash their MITB briefcases in.

ZitatAlles anzeigenFormer Cruiserweight Champion possibly injured
TJP wasn't able to compete on 205 Live last night due to injury.
Last night's episode of 205 Live was supposed to feature another match between former Cruiserweight Champions TJP and Rich Swann, but the former ended up being replaced by Ariya Daivari. The reason behind the change could be that TJP is currently suffering from an injury.
TJP (then known as TJ Perkins) was the winner of the inaugural Cruiserweight Classic in 2016, becoming the first Cruiserweight Champion of the new era in the process. TJP was a bit of a bust as champion, however, and quickly lost the title to The Brian Kendrick.
Since losing the title, Perkins has worked mostly as an auxiliary heel, working alongside Neville in his feud with Austin Aries. Since July TJP has been involved in what began as a friendly rivalry with Rich Swann, but it seems as though the gloves are off.
Swann and TJP were initially supposed to do battle on 205 Live last night, but it was announced that TJP was to be replaced by Ariya Daivari. TJP did make an appearance during the match, distracting Swann and allowing Daivari to pick up the victory.
TJP didn't look in the best of shape, however. The Fil-Am Flash came out on to the top of the stage with a pair of crutches, along with a large knee brace on his right knee. Whilst this could well just be part of the story, the Wrestling Yoda himself added fuel to the fire with a cryptic tweet after the match.

WWE is yet to confirm or deny the injury.
The rivalry between Rich Swann and TJP has taken place entirely on 205 Live, so we will have to wait a week to see how severe the injury to TJP is. Neither man is currently booked for SummerSlam, although a multi-man cruiserweight bout may well end up on the pre-show.
TJP's injury seemingly came out of nowhere, so I'm going to put my money on this being a part of the bigger story. Last week's 205 Live concluded with Swann saying 'I'm starting to know who you are' to TJP, and this 'fake' injury could lead to further clarity in Swann's eyes.
If the injury is indeed legitimate then it remains to be seen how much time Perkins will miss. It is a good sign that WWE is keeping him on television, however, so one must assume that it isn't a major setback.
