WWE Money in the Bank 2016

[hammerva]

And Becky Lynch is falling further and further down the women's division pecking order now feuding with Natalya. The matches should be good though

[cpst]

The women are back to being filler no one cares about.

We just need to wait until Summerslam where Sasha Banks will be in a good match and disappear into the ether until WM season.

[Blehschmidt]

With Sasha out, and Paige a jobber, it makes sense to turn one of the two babyface girls against the other one.

[cpst]

Natalya's heel turn was the first interesting thing they've done with the women in months and specifically her in years.

That beatdown also looked better than anything in the match.

[cpst]

That belly-to-belly over the ropes and the following moonsault were pretty cool, but this match is completely heatless.

[El Dragon]

Well that finish was pretty buillshit to me.

[C.S.]

Very boring show thus far, and Crews's banana peel victory was dull.

[hammerva]

It is kind of weird that none of these matches are being put in the death spot between ladder match and Cena/Styles and main event.

[Blehschmidt]

I really hope they are not gonna do Ambrose wins, cashes in....cause he's crazy, and we blow The Shield 3 way for nothing.

[C.S.]

What if Jericho wins, cashes in, and walks out with the title?

[cpst]

What if Jericho wins, cashes in, and walks out with the title?

I'd be okay with this, even if it's just to hear the Johnny Sorrow justification.

[cpst]

I love how Michael Cole explicitly acknowledges Cena's formula on commentary.

[EricR]

Man I was really digging Sheamus/Crews, but that finish was laaaaame.

[El Dragon]

You know, there are jokes about Cena being incredibly loud in the ring calling stuff, but sometimes it really is jarring.

[hammerva]

I am trying to remember if Styles bumped like this anywhere else besides the WWE. Besides his twisting bump he did in an Ultimate X match many years ago. I mean even on basic moves like backdrops it is like it could be his last.

Keep in mind his back is in rough shape. The landing on the butt might actually be intentional.

[El Dragon]

Boy this match didn't need a ref bump

Boy this match didn't need a ref bump

 

Eh, I didn't mind - it's the start of a feud that presumably is going to carry Smackdown for the rest of the summer. Heck of a match though - AJ has been in probably the top four or five WWE matches this year?

[ragemaster]

this Aj Styles, Cena match, is everything wrong with WWE booking

[hammerva]

Actually everything wrong with the WWE booking would have been Cena winning it. Would it have been better if it was clean. Yeah it was a BS finish that at least set up another match probably at Battleground.

[El Dragon]

But that's the thing. It makes it really hard to get excited about future "big matches" when they constantly don't end in the way best to move the story forward, but to keep the story going on as long as possible.

[ragemaster]

Why do the contract thing on Raw if it means nothing, AJ lost his last 3 big matches.

If you cant have Cena losing clean, do a more subtle cheat ending.​

 

One of the many things the Wwe do wrong, is not live up to it's advertising of it's stips,

[El Dragon]

That jump off the ladder, springboard of the rope, into the Euro might be the most impressive spot I've seen in a while.

[C.S.]

Best MiTB match ever? Surprised by how smart and logical this has been, for the most part.

[...TG]

Shout out to JBL for being particularly awful tonight. Just yelling on and on at the end of AJ/Cena about Gallows/Anderson ruining the dream match, now shouting about how much of a shame it is that Ambrose won.

 

Ladder match was fine but I feel like I've seen way too many of these multi-man ladder matches for a new one to make much of an impact. Crowd seemed to be really into it though, so what do I know.
