Prowrestling.net Live is back today at 3CT / 4ET. Will Pruett and I will answer your calls from WWE Money in the Bank and watch AEW Double Or Nothing live on PWAudio.net. In addition, we will answer questions of the week on Game of Thrones from Assbadin V, member of Dot Net, at the very end of the show, after the spoiler warning.
WWE Money in the Bank Hits
Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles for the WWE World Championship: The best match of the night and that lived up to expectations. I am really curious to see where they go with Styles now that he has lost his cleanliness. Do they work towards a heel turn? This seems to be the easiest way to maintain this quarrel while giving Styles a new coat of paint. Whether they come back to that or spare somewhere, I can not imagine we've seen the last episode of Rollins vs. Styles.
Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens for the WWE Championship: A well-worked match. I do not know why this match took place after the match of the WWE Universal Championship. The idea was perhaps that putting this match first would make the WWE title feel inferior to the title of universal champion. Although this was their plan, they did not manage to avoid this problem, as the match between Rollins and Styles surpbaded Kingston and Owens. Kingston faces some of the biggest names in WWE. He behaves like a handsome champion and feels great, but the drama would be great if he faced off against Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar, and he would be really pleased if the company asked him to defeat one or the other. another man in a clean way.
Naomi vs Natalya against Nikki Cross against Dana Brooke against Ember Moon against Mandy Rose against Bayley against Carmella in the ladder game Money in the Bank Women: An entertaining match with a satisfying finish that saw Bayley take the the most important victory of his career in the alignment of his career, and then reach it later. It is always infuriating that Vince McMahon abandoned the great Bayley character when she was called to NXT, but hopefully her title and her MITB will give her a fresh start.
Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans For The Raw Women's Championship: A solid output of Evans in the biggest match of his young career. Lynch was not on the alert, but Evans was lucky enough to come back later for playing in the second game and playing a role in Lynch's defeat at Smackdown Women's Championship. It will be interesting to see how much Evans plays the referee when she has the flag just before Lynch participates in the disarmament.
Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair for the Smackdown Women's Championship and Bayley Successfully Banking: I was not a big fan of Lynch who was preparing Flair just after taking Woman's Right of Lacey Evans. In the end, this can be sold as Evans costing the title to Lynch. Flair winning the championship seemed again almost as repetitive as Brock Lesnar returning to the world title photo, but they quickly solved the problem by giving Bayley a nice win. It was interesting to hear Charly Caruso and Bayley mention both Sasha Banks. Hoping that means we're about to see Banks come back as a threat to the Bayley Championship.
Tony Nese versus Ariya Daivari for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship: A well-worked match and it was nice to see the heavyweights crack the main show for a change. But history has shown that it would take much more than a good pay-per-view match to convince fans to watch 205 Live. Does the company intend to make the show more visible or are they simply happy with the easy hour of WWE content?
Roman Reigns vs. Elias: Fast and painless. Reigns is the most (sur) guy pushed off the list, and Elias loses to damn himself around everyone. I thought that Elias might win the match to prolong the quarrel, but that would have simply delayed the inevitable. Real money at Elias is to establish it as a threat in the ring rather than always to be the target of the joke. I did not expect this to happen in this match, but I am not convinced either that it is a true creative priority.
WWE Money in the Misses Bank
Brock Lesnar wins the MITB match: Illogical absurdity. Triple H told Braun Strowman that he would not reward him for a spot in the MITB match when he badumed Strowman was responsible for eliminating Sami Zayn. But apparently, not only would someone have rewarded Lesnar for a spot in the match after eliminating Zayn, but would have even allowed him to enter the match at the very end. Even if there is a good explanation in Raw, Lesnar quickly returns to the image of the title. Lesnar's mock cash-ins should brighten his infrequent appearances, but it's not enough of a new ride to give him a fresh feel.
Samoa Joe versus Rey Mysterio for the American title: It's like Joe and Mysterio are making quick wins, even though Joe's nose injury would have pushed them to get to the finish earlier than expected . Joe was protected to some extent by Mysterio's shoulder, but it became so routine to see Joe lose that it did not seem like a great feat to beat him. Moreover, the secondary titles were damaged by the defeats of the champion who lost so many matches that winning the title is no longer a significant moment, especially for a legend like Mysterio.
The Miz vs. Shane McMahon in a Caged Match: More in the center than a real hit or a real miss. The story of the WrestleMania match was that Miz dominated the match and then lost on a stroke of luck.
