First let's go to the start of the show which was the tag team title match. What a classic this match was. It's awesome to see WWE put some interest back in the tag teams again. The Usos and the Wyatts started the show with a bang. Rikishi has to be proud of his boys. They were taught well.
Now to a match that I think got under appreciated by the fans. The Divas Championship match. I know this is coming from a guy that has been very critical of the divas division in the past, but I gotta say, Naomi and Paige put on a solid match at Money in the Bank. Cameron playing the part on the outside of the ring is obviously building to a turn. My only issue is that Cameron or Ariane Andrew is kafabing on her instagram account which is not even a gimmick account. It makes no sense, and it tells me she knows nothing about the wrestling business. If you're going to kayfabe at least do it under a gimmick account. Not to mention that the business is so wide open now anyway. So trying to kayfabe in 2014 is not going to be easy to begin with. But again as far as the match itself? Solid match.
Adam Rose vs Paul Revere aka Damien Sandow. This was obviously a filler. I got to give respect to Sandow. Get your money Sandow. This poor guy has been doing some ridiculous things for months now, and yet he still shows up to work everyday. If I can be honest I like the Adam Rose gimmick. He's over with the crowd. Yes he has some growing to do but who doesn't? But I like the road he's taking. Personally. This match was ehh.
Now the Money In The Bank contract match. I have to be honest I really didn't pay attention to this one but from what I did see, it was another classic ladder match in the WWE. The rivalry between Ambrose and Rollins is only just beginning and I think this is going to be the WM main event for years to come. Let me talk about Ambrose for a sec. Ambrose is like a mix of Roddy Piper and the late great Brian Pillman. His promo skills are refreshing. This guy is money in my opinion. Seth Rollins formerly known as Tyler Black has always had "it." I've been a fan of his since his days in Ring of Honor. Seth Rollins in the ring reminds me of CM Punk. His promo skills need work, but again, that will come with time. Rollins wins the MITB.
The Rhodes brothers vs Rybaxel. I don't know how to feel about this Stardust gimmick yet. I can't really say I like or dislike it. But the Rhodes brothers obviously have chemistry. The Rybaxel team's a total waste in my opinion. So was this match, although I did like the spot when Ryback was getting crowd to chant feed me more and Ryback looks at the crowd and sayid, "I still got it."
Big E vs Russev. It happened. what else can I say? I think this whole Russev storyline needs a hero and Big E is not it. Especially with this baptist preacher type promos they got the guy doing now. He's not over at all. Russev is a massive heel and for anyone not to come out as a better face after being in a match with him is pathetic. Lana is great at what she does. Even though she's from Florida she's doing the Russian gimmick. Nobody has pointed that out yet. But nevertheless.
I will discuss the backstage segment with the Bellas and Stephanie McMahon. Talk about a build up! When Stephanie and Brie finally clash, it will good in my opinion. Not just because Stephanie and Brie are attractive....
Layla vs Summer Rae....
Now we get to the WWE World Championship ladder match. Why they haven't combined the belts yet, and yes I said belts, is beyond me. But this match was a good one. Roman Reigns became a bigger star because of this match. Kane playing the role of lapdog is an embarrassment of sorts, but get your money Kane. The home crowd advantage wasn't really an advantage for Cena. Not breaking news but I think it's worth pointing out. Also we got some color from Randy Orton. Blood if you will. That's a win, right? Cena ends up winning the match, and the internet wrestling community loses it's mind. Cena winning again is not the end of the world ladies and gents. Cena believe it or not is actually good at what he does. Yes I wish he cut more serious promos, but he has to give this boss who's stuck in the 80s what he wants. Cena gets a reaction and that's basically all you can ask from a performer on the main roster of the WWE.
All in all it wasn't a perfect show but it wasn't the worst show either. It was much better than last year's which isn't really saying much, but still.
