Money in the Bank 2017 results and review

Kickoff Match: The Hype Bros defeated The Colons. Zack Ryder pinned Primo after a Hype Rider.

-> ok for a KickOff show match but I thought about a split of the Hype Bros and a Heel turn of Rider. 5 of 10 points.

1. Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Carmella defeated Charlotte Flair, Natalya, Tamina and Becky Lynch. Lynch was climbing the ladder, but James Ellsworth interfered and knocked her out. Ellsworth then climbed the ladder, unhooked the briefcase and dropped it to Carmella. Both Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan sent out tweets saying they’d address the situation on Smackdown this week.

-> good match till Ellsworth got involved and ruined the match. Thats the worst booking ever and a downfall of the so called womans revolution. 6 of 10 points.

2. Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match: The New Day defeated The Usos (c). The Usos intentionally lost the match by count-out, which means they’re still Smackdown Tag Team Champions.

-> and another booking disappointment. 6 of 10 points.

3. Smackdown Women’s Championship Match: Naomi (c) defeated Lana. Lana appeared to have the match won with her sit-out spinebuster, but Carmella and James Ellsworth came to ringside and teased a Money in the Bank cash-in. Naomi won the match by submission with her headscissors crucifix choke. Carmella didn’t cash in.

-> thank god Naomi retained her title. But everybody could see that Lana can´t wrestle like Eva-Marie. 5 of 10 points.

Maria Kanellis returned to WWE alongside her husband, Mike Bennett, now known as “Mike Kanellis.” They promised to educate Smackdown on the power of love, for some reason.

4. WWE Championship Match: Jinder Mahal (c) defeated Randy Orton. St. Louis-area legends were seated at ringside. The Singh Brothers cheated for Mahal and were ejected, but decided to mess with Randy Orton’s father, Bob Orton, instead of leaving. Orton beat them up, then walked into a Khallas from Mahal and was pinned.

-> Jinder is still the champ and thats all that matters. Orton sucks, no charisma at all and a way to big ego. 6 of 10 points.

5. Breezango defeated The Ascension. The Ascension were the team that jumped Tyler Breeze backstage on Smackdown. Fandango pinned Viktor with a small package.

-> not really sure why WWE reopen the case of The Ascension. 4 of 10 points and not really PPV material.

6. Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Baron Corbin defeated Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Corbin attacked Nakamura before the match, taking him out from most of it. Nakamura returned later and cleaned house. Nakamura and Styles squared off for several minutes and continued the fight on top of a ladder, so Corbin shoved them off and climbed the ladder to win the match.

 -> No surprise here too with Corbin winning this one. Best match of the evening and the only match worth watching this PPV live. 8 of 10 points.

-> WORST PPV of 2017 so far.
