6/30/2014- WWE Money in the Bank results, Red Sox def. Yankees 2 out of 3, Pirates def. Mets 3 out of 4

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I posted here. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Here we go!

WWE

Last night was the Money in the Bank PPV, where it emanated from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. Overall, there were eight matches on the card and all of them were on the PPV as the Kickoff show was dedicated to Daniel Bryan's in-ring interview with Michael Cole. Bryan announced that he may need to get another surgery due to arm problems and could be out longer than expected. Here are the results for the main card:


  • The Usos def. The Wyatts to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship
  • Paige def. Naomi to retain the Divas Championship
  • Adam Rose def. Damien Sandow
  • Seth Rollins won the Money in the Bank briefcase in the Money in the Bank ladder match. Participants in this match were Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam, and Jack Swagger
  • Goldust and Stardust (Cody Rhodes) def. Ryback and Curtis Axel
  • Rusev def. Big E
  • Layla def. Summer Rae (with Fandango as special guest referee)
  • John Cena wins the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the Money in the Bank ladder match. Participants in this match were Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns, Cesaro, and Kane
Overall, it was a decent PPV. There were too many filler matches that could have been saved for Raw or SmackDown. I know Cena's win was unpopular with the fans, but it could be possible that he is a transition champion holding the title warm for a serious contender.

MLB
This past weekend, the Yankees hosted the Boston Red Sox in a 3 game set. Yankees won the 1st game, but lost the remaining two as the Yankees struggled to hit on Saturday and pitching struggled last night. The sad fact I found was that the last time the Yankees won a series on a weekend was back in May against the Pirates (one of those games I was in attendance). Yankees need to find a way to play on a more consistent basis if they want to play October baseball.

After the Mets split the series against the Oakland A's, they went to PNC Park to face the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 4 game set. The Mets lost the series, but avoided a sweep with Saturday's win.

The Yankees host the Tampa Bay Rays tonight in a 3 game set while the Mets are in Atlanta to face the Braves in a 3 game set.

That's all I have to say for now. Have a good week!
