Big Rick’s 2018 WWE Money In The Bank Review

Well hello, My name is Big Rick and I am the host of the 2MB Wrestling podcast. This would be my first written piece for The Chairshot.com and hopefully it will not be my last. So let’s get started shall we? Let me just say this, I thought this Money in the Bank PPV was the best PPV WWE has released this year. Well paced and the matches were well placed. It is amazing what a well paced event can do to a viewing audience. As far as the best event WWE has put put all year, others say the Royal Rumble which I understand, but at this point isn’t the Royal Rumble expected to be the best? Yes, even over  WrestleMania. So here are my opinions on Sunday night’s Money in the Bank event.

Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass

This was the perfect match to open the show. Obviously the crowd in Chicago agreed with that decision. It is always good to see Daniel Bryan in a WWE ring…just not with Big Cass. It felt to me that both of these guys came back from injury around the same time and WWE decided to just throw them in an angle. Which is fine with me, we have all seen worse and honestly, I think we could care less who Daniel Bryan was paired with upon his return. With that being said, I am glad this is probably the last time we will see these two together for the foreseeable future. In this match I wasn’t expecting much from Big Cass. He started off slow and sloppy but got better as the match went on. Not a bad performance by Cass. He still has a lot to do as far as in ring and promo skills. Daniel Bryan is set for a big push coming up, I can’t say the same about Big Cass. Decent match. I expected worse to be honest.

Bobby Lashley vs Sami Zayn

Where do I start here? Should I even start? This was a horrible build and the match fit that. Terrible match in my opinion. Waste of time. I would have preferred The B Team against the Eaters of World here. Since Lashley’s return I can’t recall seeing a single person excited about it. Not saying Lashley is not talented or he isn’t destined to achieve greatness in the WWE, I just do not think this what what people had in mind for him. Sami obviously has talent, not only in the ring but on the mic as well. I am not sure where either of these men go from here. As far as this match, I’m glad it is over and I am sure both of these men are as well.

Seth Rollins vs Elias

Elias is SO OVER with the WWE Universe. That is obvious. As a guitar player myself, I am always willing to “Walk With Elias.” Elias is great on the mic and the most important thing to me, he looks very comfortable doing his thing WWE continues this push for Elias. I just don’t want this gimmick to fade away in a few months. I think there is money here and I am almost positive WWE sees this. As far as
Seth Rollins, Although I am not a total fan of his work, as I feel it is a little to choreographed for me, as I am more of a brawler type fan of wrestling, I do not think one can deny the amount of talent Seth Rollins has. He is on fire and on top of his game right now. This was a really good match in my opinion. These two have been working together the last several week on house show’s and it was shown here tonight. I thought they had great chemistry together. This was a top 3 match of the night for sure. I see big things in the future for Elias and Seth. Seth gets the win here but he has to cheat to win. I can dig that. If anything , it should further this feud another month and one has to wonder when Dean Ambrose is going to come back. Always keep that in the back of your mind.

Women’s Money In The Bank Ladder Match

I have never seen a Woman’s match where the women have taken so many bumps! Every woman was given time to shine in this match and they took full advantage of that time. They all had fantastic spots and bumped around like it was their last match in the WWE holding nothing back. I was very impressed with this match. Of course there were some missed spots, but that’s expected in ladder matches with multiple participants. Over all the women displayed bravery and proved they were not scared to take bumps on or off the ladder. Purely from a entertainment value, I give this Match of the night. The Goddess among women, Alexa Bliss picks up the win to become the Women’s Money in the Bank winner. Now here is my problem, I have seen non stop bitching and complaining from the IWC on twitter regarding Alexa Bliss winning here. Please stop! Although she may not be the most talented in the ring, she is on another level in the women’s division all together. Like Greg DeMarco said, “They complain because it’s not Sasha Banks” and he is right. The more I look into the people that are  complaining, the more Sasha and Becky Lynch cover photos I see. As Chris Jericho would say “Soak it in MAAAAN” Bow down to the Goddess among Women. Bow down and adore Alexa Bliss.
