This year's Money In The Bank Pay-Per-View was certainly one of the most entertaining WWE events of 2019 from start to finish.

Of course, there were several booking decisions that triggered a lot of fans because of obvious reasons. But WWE really stepped up their game this time around, and it clearly showed.

Nevertheless, do let us know your thoughts about last night's events in the comments section below. With that being said, here are a few interesting observations from WWE Money In The Bank 2019.


#3: Why AJ Styles vs. Seth Rollins was the match of the night

In recent times, we have seen the rise of a new trend where fans usually tend to overhype a promising match against two competitors at the top of their in-ring game. This leads to disappointment when the match actually occurs.

WWE also tends to overplay their hand when it comes to feuds in these cases.

However, AJ Styles and Seth Rollins stole the show at Money In The Bank, and there is a good reason behind that too. Unlike the rest of the show, the writers kept Styles vs. Rollins simple and to the point.

We didn't have unnecessary plot twists or heel turns, neither did we have interferences or any dirty finishes when it comes to this particular match. Rollins and Styles were allowed to showcase their chemistry throughout the bout's entire length.

As a matter of fact, the ending felt quite conclusive, which is rare in an era where 50/50 booking runs rampant all the time.

It is also important to keep in mind that AJ Styles vs. Seth Rollins was one of the most awaited matches during this year's Money In The Bank Pay-Per-View.

One can only wonder what more they can do with Styles and Rollins in this particular feud. Of course, there are always several ways to add new plot points, but fans will only get to know the true answer during the upcoming edition of RAW.

#2: How WWE used Charlotte Flair to elevate Bayley's title win to a whole new level

Bayley's character arc has been one of the biggest successes from this year's Money In The Bank Pay-Per-View.

From winning the MITB Briefcase to successfully cashing it in grand fashion, all the momentum seems to be on Bayley's side right now.

A large chunk of that momentum is on Bayley's side because of how the circumstances exactly played out. Even though Charlotte Flair is the ultimate female athlete on WWE's main roster, the fans have a tendency to dislike her for a variety of reasons.

However, putting the title on Charlotte Flair established two important things:

1) It is now apparent that Charlotte Flair is being booked to match (or potentially break) her father, Ric Flair's record when it comes to the most world championship wins.

2) One way to ensure that Charlotte Flair's character does not face some fan backlash as a byproduct of this decision was for her to drop the title to Bayley on the same night.

Also, the reaction of the WWE Universe to Bayley winning the SmackDown Live Women's Championship from Charlotte Flair was a complete reversal from how frustrated they felt just before Bayley cashed in her MITB Briefcase.

So at the end of the day, the writers had a huge role in making Bayley's redemption story more successful than we would have initially expected it to be.

#1: What Brock Lesnar's surprising MITB Briefcase win indicates for the future of WWE

In many ways, Brock Lesnar's MITB victory last night was filled with plot-holes and it also left us with a lot of questions.

How Brock Lesnar became the '8th Man' and how the Beast Incarnate was allowed to enter the match towards the very end are some of the questions that may never be answered. But one thing that we can all agree to is that WWE did pull-off a shocker to draw some mainstream attention.

Remember how I mentioned that AJ Styles' and Seth Rollins' feud felt quite conclusive at this year's Money In The Bank Pay-Per-View?

Perhaps a reason behind that could be Brock Lesnar's unexpected MITB win during the same show. Brock Lesnar isn't done with Seth Rollins.

In some ways, we do need a proper conclusion to Rollins and Lesnar's feud, since their WrestleMania 35 match was filled with shenanigans.

But other superstars have waited for far too long. Maybe Styles, Rollins and Lesnar could be involved in a Triple Threat Match soon. Whatever the case may be, we now have a definitive reason to tune in during the upcoming edition of RAW.

After all, Brock Lesnar might have created multiple consequences for the future of WWE at the same time. What do you think?
