Following his win in the titular men's ladder match at last night's Money in the Bank premium live event, Theory once again called out John Cena after the show went off the air.

Having emerged victorious in a bout featuring Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Riddle, Sami Zayn, Sheamus, Omos and Madcap Moss, A-Town celebrated with the MITB briefcase as the PPV feed wrapped up. For those in attendance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, they were treated to a post-match promo where Theory called out Cena and reiterated that his time is now.

This promo is merely the latest in line of shots exchanged between Theory and Cena as the two are heavily rumoured to square off at SummerSlam later this month. After a couple of on-screen comments from the one-time Austin and plentiful social media barbs from the two, Big Match John and Theory finally went face-to-face on last week's Raw as WWE marked 20 years of Cena on the main roster.

Earlier in the night at Money in the Bank, Theory lost the United States Title to Bobby Lashley. Now, the former EVOLVE Champion finds himself with a guaranteed shot at the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship currently held by Roman Reigns, in addition to that rumoured match against John Cena at WWE's Biggest Event of the Summer.
