Excl: Was it a good idea to put El Grande Americano, not CM Punk, in the WWE Money in the Bank match 2025? Expert weighs in
El Grande Americano beat CM Punk and AJ Styles in the main event of WWE Raw on June 2 to qualify for the Money in the Bank match 2025. This took many by surprise as they expected 'The Second City Saint' to punch his ticket for the marquee match. In an exclusive interview with Indiatimes, veteran writer Vince Russo weighed in on the situation . Vince Russo weighs in on El Grande Americano being in the Money in the Bank match El Grande Americano is set to lock horns with the likes of Seth Rollins and Solo Sikoa in the Money in Bank 2025 match on June 7. The 'legendary luchador' outlasted Styles and Punk in a controversial triple threat match on the red brand, which saw outside interference from the 'Paul Heyman guys'. According to writer Vince Russo, who is known for his work in WWE and WCW, CM Punk was his pick to secure the last spot in the match as he is a big star. 'El Grande Americano is Entertaining, but I think the match could use more star power and that's why I would have put CM Punk into the match,' he said. He, however, admitted that Americano is 'entertaining' and can pull off some high risk spots in the Money in the Bank Ladder match. This, according to him, makes him a good pick for the contest. 'With a Ladder Match they need High Spots for the Pops, so that's why Americano is in it,'added russo Interestingly, many in the WWE feel that Americano is actually Chad Gable under a mask. The American Made member is set to compete against Vikingo at World's Collide, which takes place on the same day as Money in the Bank. How did El Grande Americano fare at WrestleMania 41? Americano has emerged as a prominent member of the roster in no time. He scored a win over Rey Fenix (who was substituting for an injured Rey Mysterio) at WrestleMania 41, adding a new dimension to his career. Winning the Money in the Bank briefcase could put him in touching distance of winning the World Heavyweight Championship or the Undisputed title.

Kofi Kingston files formal complaint against WWE referee after RAW chaos
Image via WWE In a surprising turn of events following WWE RAW on June 2, World Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston took to social media to announce that he had filed an official complaint against referee Jessika Carr. The incident occurred during a tag team match involving The War Raiders and Judgment Day's Finn Balor and JD McDonagh, where Kingston and Xavier Woods were present at ringside. As part of the New Day's usual antics, Kofi and Woods stirred up some ringside mischief - something that didn't sit well with Carr. In a swift move, the referee ejected both tag champs from ringside, a decision that left Kofi visibly frustrated. Hours later, the veteran WWE Superstar took to X (formerly Twitter) to make his stance clear. 'Let the record show: I have just filed an official complaint about the heinous and overreaching actions of @WWELadyRefJess tonight,' Kingston wrote. Referee Jessika Carr hits back with no regrets Referee Jessika Carr didn't let the criticism go unanswered. In a confident response, she posted, 'Complain all you want my friend, but the official has the final word. Sorry, not sorry…..pal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Better luck next time.' While Carr's tweet was met with support from many fans, others took the opportunity to stir the pot, reigniting debates about officiating decisions in WWE. One user commented, 'Good call Jess!' while another fan humorously added, 'I'm writing a letter and sending it to corporate too. Snail mail.' Amid the ringside chaos, Judgment Day capitalized. Roxanne Perez, the group's newest ally, distracted The War Raiders at a crucial moment, giving Balor the opening to land his signature Coup de Grace and secure the win for his team. While neither team has officially been announced as No. 1 contenders yet, the win puts Balor and McDonagh in a strong position to challenge Kingston and Woods for the World Tag Team Championships in the near future. Roxanne Perez helps Judgment Day defeat War Raiders: Raw highlights, June 2, 2025 Will WWE respond to Kofi Kingston's complaint? As of now, WWE has not issued any formal response to Kingston's complaint, nor has on-screen authority figure Adam Pearce commented on the matter. However, fans online are watching closely. Some believe this could be the start of a larger storyline, especially with Judgment Day potentially eyeing the tag titles and tensions between teams reaching a boiling point. Others see this as a playful jab by Kingston, who is known for blending humor and theatrics into his performances - both in the ring and online. Still, the fact that the complaint was made 'official' adds a layer of intrigue. WWE's history of incorporating real-time fan interactions and social media moments into ongoing feuds means this incident could escalate quickly in the coming weeks. Whether it results in a disciplinary hearing, a comedic backstage segment, or adds fuel to an upcoming tag team feud, Kofi's actions have once again put New Day in the spotlight. With Jessika Carr holding her ground and Judgment Day gaining momentum, the tag division may be heading into a volatile phase. For now, fans will have to wait and see if Kingston's formal protest leads to any consequences - or if it's simply another example of WWE's chaos unfolding both inside and outside the ring.
