Great decision. Horrible execution.

That is the only way to describe WWE's decision to have the first ever miss Money In The Bank briefcase match and while it did create a lot of fanfare during its build up, WWE completely ruined that by having James Ellsworth as the one to retrieve the briefcase and just toss it to Carmella.

Of course, the match received a lot of backlash from fans, especially since many of the thrilling moments between the combatants were overshadowed by the controversial ending, but WWE did try to make up for it by redoing the match a week later on Smackdown Live. Unfortunately for WWE though, the previous decision made it impossible to take it seriously.

Make no mistake about it. This was a chance to put the women's division on the same level as many of the male competitors on the roster and WWE decided to squander it by allowing James Ellsworth retrieve the briefcase. Furthermore, their original decision also took the momentum away from Carmella when she did finally earn the win herself.

Hopefully, WWE chooses to make better decisions than this is the future, but WWE seriously almost put the women's revolution on life support with this decision.

These wrestling matches are not 'fake' at all - Watch!
