Money in the Bank, surprisingly, delivered and then some! There was some incredible action in the ring, especially in the main event, where 8 Superstars put their lives on the line in a quite brutal ladder match.

We saw new champions crowned, the highlight of which was Bayley winning the women's Money in the Bank ladder match and then cashing it in on Charlotte Flair's SmackDown Women's title, and winning it all.

There was also a fantastic match between Seth Rollins and AJ Styles, which was a long-awaited dream match, while we also got to see Shane McMahon somehow escape the steel cage and win his match against The Miz.

But the biggest story was the return of Brock Lesnar, who became the eight members of the men's Money in the Bank ladder match and then climbed the ladder to win the briefcase!

How will the 2019 Money in the Bank PPV have an effect on WWE's future? Let's take a look at 5 fallouts from Money in the Bank 2019:


#1 Sasha Banks returns, turns heel on Bayley

Bayley won her first SmackDown women's title at Money in the Bank after cashing-in on the briefcase she won earlier in the night. Fans have been demanding a strong singles run for Bayley, and WWE have now delivered.

What could be an exciting feud for her would be against tag team partner Sasha Banks, who's not been on WWE television since WrestleMania 35. While this feud may not happen immediately, a heel turn by Banks and a future match between the two would be pretty interesting.

#2 Samoa Joe-Rey Mysterio to continue feud after a controversial finish

At Money in the Bank, Samoa Joe lost the United States title to Rey Mysterio, who won the title for the first time in his long career, becoming the 21st Grand Slam champion.

The match didn't last long as Mysterio won it under two minutes and had a controversial finish. Joe's shoulders were up but the referee still counted to three and Mysterio became the United States champion.

Joe was busted open in the match after Mysterio landed on his nose.

This feud between the two is not ending anytime soon and we could see WWE use the botched finish to further the rivalry between Mysterio and Joe.

#3 Drew McIntyre turns face

Drew McIntyre was the odds on favorite to win the men's Money in the Bank ladder match ahead of the PPV. The Scottish Psychopath has had a great year or so in the WWE and many expected him to win the briefcase to have a feud for a top WWE title.

That didn't happen, thanks to the addition of a certain Brock Lesnar to the ladder match. But, there was a mini story during the match that could have consequences on McIntyre's future in WWE.

During the match, McIntyre and Baron Corbin, who have both been allies over the last few months, betrayed each other. While it's every man for himself in multi-man matches, it is somewhat rare to see two heels feud with each other.

Corbin attacked McIntyre first before the Scot landed the Claymore Kick on Corbin on the outside. This maybe indicates that McIntyre could turn babyface and perhaps a future feud with Brock Lesnar or another heel champ.

#4 Becky Lynch on RAW

Becky Lynch, surprisingly, lost the SmackDown Women's title at Money in the Bank to Charlotte Flair, who in turn lost it in quick fashion to the 2019 Money in the Bank winner, Bayley.

But Becky retained the RAW Women's title as she defeated Lacey Evans just minutes before her match against Charlotte Flair.

This means that she will mostly be a RAW Superstar, being one of the last Superstars to be a part of RAW and SmackDown. The wild card stipulation means that Superstars can be a part of both RAW and SmackDown, so it won't be the last time we'll see the former double champ on both brands going forward.

We could probably see Becky continue her feud with Lacey Evans, or perhaps, an even bigger and exciting feud with Sasha Banks, who could return to challenge Lynch for the title.

#5 Brock Lesnar chooses to face Kofi Kingston over Seth Rollins

The biggest shock - probably what made Money in the Bank one of the best in recent times - was seeing Brock Lesnar climb the ladder to win the men's Money in the Bank ladder match. While it may not have been what most fans wanted, it did what WWE intended to do - cause people talk about the company and throw a massive swerve.

Lesnar is booked to appear in next month's Super ShowDown event in Saudi Arabia, where he may cash-in his contract against Seth Rollins.

But that would be the obvious choice and fans would not be best pleased as we have already seen it at WrestleMania 35.

The Beast should instead cash-in on Kofi Kingston, and add more relevance to his current title run. Kofi, the underdog, winning and retaining his title against Lesnar would just add more to Kingston's title run.
