WWE 2K17: John Cena, Ultimate Warrior, and Sasha Banks Confirmed
But who became Mr. Money in the Bank 2016?
The Dudley Boyz continue to lose matches, putting over one of the few tag teams that didn’t make their way into Sunday’s title match. All 3 members of Shield were the WWE Champion last night at some point. However, the match might have gotten a little bit too out of control at the end, because I’m not even sure that Aiden English was the legal man when he was pinned. New Day retained the WWE Tag Team Title in a Fatal 4-Way Match.
The largest names that WWE has confirmed for coming to the WWE Cruiserweight Classic include Ariya Daivari, a former WWE wrestler who appeared on Lucha Underground last season, The Brian Kendrick, Cedric Alexander, Drew Gulak, New Japan Pro Wrestling performer Kota Ibushi, Noam Dar, Tajiri, and Zack Sabre Jr.
The Club can win the titles in the next pay-per-view while Enzo & Big Cass resumes their feud with The Vaudevillains. These two teams are essentially trying to build momentum in the tag team division, and that’s about it.
Baron Corbin def. Dolph Ziggler by pin following the End of Days. I can’t recall the last time a match involving Ziggler got that treatment. But as the masked Superstar was leaping into the ring, “The Bulgarian Brute” caught him in midair & annihilated his would-be opponent before the bell. He’s a former world champ and he is always around the top of the card. But eventuall, the team of the WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte and Dana Brooke took control of the match. That led to Charlotte hitting Natural Selection on Natalya for the victory.
Phillips read Twitter questions to Natalya and Becky Lynch in the whacking room. As he was arguing with the referee, Apollo Crews rolled him up and got the win.
As WWE competitors prepare for tonight’s Money in The Bank, confusion has descended in the dressing room. This one is a crapshoot and I’m picking the victor based upon not current storylines, but by being the wrestler who could be the most successful over the next few years. The match itself was high paced and both wrestlers hit their finshers. Styles won the match, but the war has a long way to go – possibly all the way to SummerSlam.
The thing is, the undercard outside of the three big matches is very underwhelming.
Interaction between Cena and Styles – and probably The Club.
WWE Money In The Bank 2016 saw Seth Rollins and John Cena make a return after recovering from their respective injuries. I see this feud continuing for awhile.
That’s my initial reaction to WWE’s current storytelling, but it does seem a little too obvious, and the victor of the Money in the Bank contract isn’t always obvious going into the match. It should be one of the most awaited ones as it takes place once a year. To have Dean Ambrose be the champion when that is happening is a huge statement from the company that shows how much confidence that they have in him.
Who will leave Vegas champion? Moreover, Dean Ambrose Asylum stuff came in between. Rollins won his first WWE title after he cashed in his Money In The Bank briefcase at WrestleMania 31 on Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. While he usually doesn’t have ring rust, he is older and it could be a factor. A fantastic match, as Rollins proved that he had no ring rust at all, bringing out the best in Reigns.
