MITB: Where does AJ's loyalty lie?

120716_mitbCM Punk defends the WWE Championship against Daniel Bryan while love-struck AJ looks to call the match down the middle as the special guest referee.

And, as just announced on WWE.com, it's no disqualification.

Punk and Bryan have a lengthy history, both starting the year off with a series of non-title champion versus champion matches when Daniel Bryan held the World Heavyweight Championship.

As her boyfriend, Bryan held AJ's heart in the palm of his hand too, but crushed the impressionable diva when a "good luck" kiss inadvertently cost him the world title at WrestleMania XXVIII.

Looking for someone to heal the hurt, AJ turned her attention and affection to WWE Champion CM Punk, who told the world: "I dig crazy chicks".

In recent weeks, WWE's most captivating love-triangle has reached new heights, with AJ proposing to CM Punk at the start of last week's Raw.

Before Punk could deliver an answer, which seemed certain to be "no", Daniel Bryan tried to piggyback off AJ's idea and propose to his former girlfriend ahead of Money in the Bank, where she will serve as the special referee for his WWE Championship match against CM Punk.

By the end of the night, AJ had confused everyone yet again though, slapping both participants in today's title match and heading into Money in the Bank as a single woman.

With no disqualifications in play, Punk and Bryan will be free to do whatever they want to one another.

Punk retained the WWE Championship in a Chicago Street Fight against Chris Jericho earlier this year, driving Jericho through a table and using all manner of weapons to put away the cocky number one contender.

Daniel Bryan, although known for his technical skill, is more than capable of using anything he finds to his advantage as well. In recent months Bryan has been known to use steel chairs on Kane, and famously won a Money in the Bank ladder match last year.

The question remains: when all is said and done, whose side is AJ truly on? Can she call this match right down the middle, or will a preference for one of its competitors cloud her judgement? Who will leave Money in the Bank as the WWE Champion?

WWE Money in the Bank is live on pay-per-view today, July 16, on SKY ARENA (channel 38) from 12pm with a replay at 8.30pm. Free-For-All preview shows air 11.30am and 8.30pm.
