You know, I've seen every Money in the Bank match live, it's a streak I'd rather keep up... But man Backlash was a total enthusiasm-killer of a show.

Kind of doesn't help that I guarantee in terms of ladder clusterf***s they ain't topping the North American title match. Still, MitB is kind of hard to screw up. Really only ones I'd say were outright bad were the women's ones and Mania 25.

[Chainsaw]

I have a suggestion. Since this PPV is going to be just like Backlash...probably replete with all the same damn matches as tonight, but with 2 MITB matches inserted...let's just cancel this PPV. And hey, let's cancel all of the PPVs, now that I think about it. If this is how it's going to be.

To be fair, you're talking about one of the all-time greatest matches period that the company has put on. If these MITB matches are even half as good, they're doing OK.

Which is another reason they should've waited until after Backlash to do the Shakeup. Would've been time to have actually, like, had it factor into anything.

[Deleted]

I'll probably be renewing the Network for this one, but man, Backlash really killed my enthusiasm for it. Hopefully WWE has its shit together for it.

After a one week gap between GRR and Backlash, it's almost welcome.

[The Lach is very tired]

If Roman wins the briefcase I will cancel the network.

[Deleted]

Skipping this one. Think we all know who wins the briefcase this time.

CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK!


Just getting ready

Serioulsy though IF the 2 MITB matches are good and if AJ/Nak gets to have a good finish maybe this PPV won't suck.

Card Predictions, it's been awhile.

Last Man Standing For WWE Championship Match:
AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

Men's MITB:
Reigns vs. Balor vs. Strowman vs. Jordan vs. Orton vs. J. Hardy vs. Joe vs. Miz

Women's MITB:
Asuka vs. Lynch vs. Royce vs. Naomi vs. Banks vs. Bayley vs. Moon vs. Riot

RAW Tag Title:
Bray & Matt vs. Doplh & Drew

Gauntlet Match For SD! Tag Title:
Bludgeon Brothers vs. Everyone

IC Title Match:
Rollins vs. Lashley

Grudge Match:
Kevin vs. Sami

Gimmick Match:
Bryan vs. Cass

** Almas will be somewhere. Maybe take Jeff out of MITB, so that could be a US title match.

If that blew across the ring, it would get a bigger pop than Roman.

Jesus. I cant even conceive of a universe where this is a good show right now. That's how bad Backlash was.

[Deleted]

I don't even know how this crap will go but just like I said, it'll be crap.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

We're already assuming it'll be horrible when the build hasn't even started yet?

I think most people are thinking its going to be Meh. At least with horrible, there is a fair chance of an entertaining trainwreck.

Unless Shinsuke and AJ have a title match on SDL (unlikely) or Paige tells Nakamura that since he choked so many times, he isn't getting another shot, we are probably getting AJ vs Shinsuke part 4 in a feud that hasn't produced any great matches, with two of those matches marred by wet fart finishes. And Roman, despite losing to Brock (and he did lose) at GRR, will get another shot at Lesnar. Not many people are looking forward to those matches.

I'm trying to get excited about this event, hoping there is just one briefcase for the men and one for the women, and that Braun Strowman will smash Brock for the title. But it's going to be Brock/Roman again, and I wouldn't rule out 4 ladder matches, which will be overkill.

[clifford]

A few early predictions for this card;

Mens ladder match

Womens ladder match

Womens winner cashes in on Carmella

AJ/Nakamura in a steel cup on a pole match (laugh but remember who's booking this)

Big Cass/Bryan (unfortunately)

Roman/Brock (unfortunately)

Big Cass/Bryan (unfortunately)

Though he shouldn't be taking on Big Cass at this event having made him tap out last night, I do think that Bryan should have a normal singles match instead of being in a ladder match, to be on the safe side.

[fw91]

Elias should win and then have the briefcase open on the floor during his performances for tips

[Facetious]

Supposedly they're running THREE MITB matches, two branded and one dual brand female. So, so stupid.
