If he cashes in on the New Day, that's going to be very underwhelming... What other heel team could be hated enough to give the cash in a good pop? Miz/Morrison? Forgotten Sons? No.

I imagine that has to be part of the story. Otis comes off good from not wanting to leave out Tucker, Tucker comes off good for insisting that Otis strive for bigger goals. A heel berates Otis's foolishness and gets him to put his briefcase on the line, which Otis would lose.

Why during a fatal four tag match would someone ever tag anyone but their own partner? I’m makes no sense at all.

Also why can someone tap the back of an unsuspecting superstar and that counts as a tag but a star can run and punch team members waiting on the outside and that doesn’t count?

During the fatal four way tag match metalik pins big e for a two count. The forgotten sons jump on metalik. They all lay on Big E and his shoulder never leave the mat for an extended period of time.

Why did the ref stop the pinfall?

The Stephanie edit came off terrible.

Shouldn’t AJ have one because he released the Briefcase from the rig?

Shouldn’t AJ be dead?

Are Rey and Black dead?

No, you can hear them land on something, possibly another roof, instantly. They let you know it wasn't a long fall if you listen carefully.

Hi Everyone!

During this quarantine time I thought it would be fun to review Money In The Bank and discuss my impressions, while hearing everyone else's perspective! I am also going to include if Mattel did a 6 pack exclusives on this PPV, who would I want as figures!

What qualifies me to review MITB? Nothing lol. I am just a 20+ year fan of WWE, have always loved the women of WWE, and think it gives everyone a chance to discuss their opinions on PPV respectfully with me.

Feel free to message me if you I am just awful, you liked my review, or you want me to review other WWE things! For now, I will start with PPV's and MITB.

Match 1: Fatal 4 way for the Smackdown Tag Team Champion
New Day (C) Vs. Lucha House Party Vs. The MIZ & Morrison Vs. The Forgotten Sons.

Overall, I was super impressed with his match. I was not anticipating much, since we seen these team interact and build up so much the last few Smackdowns! But the boys put on a show! I found myself really rooting for the Lucha House Party. I thought they carried this match and I was hoping they would get the W! However, with a great tag team finisher, the New Day respectfully won.

5 STARS

Match 2: Bobby Lashley Vs. R-Truth

Honestly guys, I was so confused by this match. I am not a fan of matches with no build up, especially during PPV's. We see MVP and R-Truth banter about who is ballin' harder, but it results in Bobby Lashley dismissing MVP of his work duties. Bobby Lashley basically squashes the former 24/7 champion and basically reflect Bobby Lashley being bitter for not making it into the MITB. MEHH

2 STARS

Match 3: Smackdown Women's Champion
Bayley (C) Vs. Tamina

Alright guys, I will start of by stating I was not expecting much from Tamina. I think my perception of Tamina comes from how WWE has used Tamina in the past, which is not completely her fault. I still think Tamina and Nia Jax would have been a great tag team and could have been amazing to see them wear the Tag Team belts. Anywho, I thought this match was fun and I loved Bayley's trash talking with Michael Cole. I do think Tamina put on a good show with Bayley, but despite the rumors of Tamina defeating Bayley, Tamina got pinned by Bayley from Sasha interfering. I thought the match was good, nothing super ground breaking.

3 STARS

Match 4: Universal Champion
Braun Strowman (C) Vs. Bray Wyatt

Strowman and Bray put on a creative and fun match. I really enjoyed the story line around Bray pulling from Braun's past with the Wyatt family. And we even see a glimpse of Strowman debating on re-entering that Wyatt family era. However, Strowman eventually tears the mask off and does not go down that rabbit hole again. Speaking of rabbits, I loved the Firefly fun house characters coming into the audience to watch a part of the show. In the end. Strowman comes through with the win defeating Bray Wyatt and retains his Universal Champion. I'm guessing this won't be the last we see of these two in the ring.

4 STARS

Match 5: WWE Champion
Drew McIntyre (C) Vs. Seth Rollins

I though this match was high adrenaline, entertaining, and both paired well with each other. To start off we see Seth Rollins come out with a new theme song, hmmmm.... I loved his previously theme, I hope if he turns into a FACE in the future his burn it down theme returns. Anywho, Drew and Seth put on a great show. I think they worked very well in the ring and was able to highlight a great match for the championship. I will say my favorite part of this match was the clash of finishers towards the end, with Seth and Drew exchanging them, almost to see who can last the longest. And after Drew pins Seth for the win, we see Drew shake Seth's hand, with Seth having a confused acknowledging look on his face,

5 STARS

Match 6: Men and Women's Money In The Bank
Men: AJ Styles, Aleister Black, Baron Corbin, Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, Otis
Women: Asuka, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Lacey Evans, Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler

Although, this match had it's cheesy moments, I thought it was a unique approach to the Money In The Bank. I really enjoyed seeing the skit's unfold and seeing how each superstar had their small gains and victories. I died laughing at two points and both revolving around Rey Mysterio. With the men and women have thier food fight during the catering segment, and Shayna snatched Rey Mysterio and put him into a choke hold I lost it. And then as we progressed through the match, and finally meet our remaining contenders on the roof. I literally yelled, when Baron Corbin tossed Rey Mysterio over the bushes, which what I thought was the roof. But I realized soon after, it was just a shorter ledge. Towards the end, we see Baron Corbin meet Karma's boot when Asuka kicks Baron off of the ladder for Asuka to win her first Money In The Bank. Soon the ring is magically cleared and AJ Styles is moments into winning the MITB, when Baron Corbin interrupts him. The briefcase is eventually unsnapped and fumbles between the two result in Otis' hand who is standing on the ring floor. Otis is your men's MITB winner.

4 STARS

Overall, MITB was fun to watch and one of my favorite PPVs all year. For me it averaged 3.8 stars for the PPV.

Since we are all have a common interest in WWE figures I wanted to pose a question to everyone! If there were 6 superstars you can choose from to be in a MITB line, who would you pick?

I'd choose...

Bayley
Lacey Evans
Bray Wyatt
The Forgotten Sons

Mainly for updates and new superstars!

Thanks for making it this far, let me know what you thought of MITB and who would you wish for in a MITB 6 figure line.

i went back and watched Hardy vs Cesaro because i didnt see it live

What a ing banger of a match that was. One of the best singles matches Cesaro has had in a LONG time. Commentary put him over, he was crisp AF, and even taking the loss he looked better than he has the last 4 months.

More from those two please. Get the IC title off Zayn and on to Jeff, then have Jeff & Cesaro feud over it.

I’d rather see Zayn return as a babyface and feud with Cesaro for the title. A re-hash of those amazing NXT encounters.

[aggressiveperfector]

Well, I decided to watch The Last Dance Instead of MITB Sunday. And Monday I decided to cook spaghetti with my brother and nephew and have a nice dinner and movie with them so I didn't bother to check out Raw. Looks like I made the right choice after hearing this.
