5 reasons why Money in the Bank was awesome

Money in the bank 2018 was the second WWE dual branded show since the Greatest Royal Rumble, held back in April.

The card was stacked up, with all the stars booked in an amazing manner. Almost all of the current championships were on the line, and the matches on the show really didn't disappoint.

We had some great storylines prior to the matches, and many of those storylines finally ended. In fact, Money in the Bank has always been a great show, with its iconic Money in the Bank ladder match.

We witnessed ladder matches which included 8 awesome competitors, and we got to see all of them give their best. This was really a good show, if we talk about the reality.

The WWE went unpredictable, by turning all the betting odds as well as the rumours into just some false statements. Let's see 5 things that made this event great. Massive spoilers ahead if you haven't watched the event yet.

#5 The matches were not disappointing

The women's ladder match was pretty exciting

We had some great matches, such as AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura, Seth Rollins vs Elias, and both the Ladder matches.

Seth Rollins as well as Elias are both great wrestlers who competed against each other for the Intercontinental Championship. Elias tried his very best, but was unable to defeat Seth Rollins.

The Ladder matches were really spectacular, with Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman winning their respective matches. Both of them actually deserved to win the contract.

AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura was a Last Man Standing match, and it delivered what the fans wanted. Both competitors took each other to the limits, with AJ Styles retaining his title.

We also saw some more great matches, such as Ronda Rousey vs Nia Jax and Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass.

#4 The quick cash-in

Alexa Bliss cashed in at the perfect moment

Alexa had won the Money in the Bank contract just a few minutes before the Raw Women's Championship match began, so no one expected her to cash in so quickly. She was amazingly smart enough to take the advantage of the situation.

Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey pushed each other to the limits, and everyone was happy with the match. Both wrestlers were fighting to leave a statement of their dominance, but what happened was actually very different.

It always feels unusual if Alexa Bliss doesn't have a championship around her waist, so she made sure that she carried a title while walking out of the arena. The fans were delighted to see her win the title.

#3 Return of Elsworth

James Elsworth made his WWE return to help Carmella

We had Asuka facing Carmella for the SmackDown LIVE Women's Championship, and wanted Asuka to win, as she really has the potential to hold the SmackDown LIVE Championship.

The fans were tired of Carmella being the Women's Champion, as she wasn't much entertaining in the ring. She wasn't even great at her promos, so the fans wanted a change.

WWE did something unexpected when they brought back James Elsworth, who was Carmella's assistant/helper back in the day. James was the one who helped Carmella win the Money in the Bank ladder match in 2017.

James and Carmella cut some interesting promos in the past, which would come back in the future. WWE fans certainly dislike Elsworth, but we all have to agree that he is a pure entertainer.

#2 All the awful storylines came to an end

Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass was a boring storyline

There were some awesome as well as some awful storylines going into Money in the Bank 2018. The good news is that all the awful storylines were seemingly concluded.

Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass, which was one of the most boring storylines of 2018 finally came to an end at the event. This storyline just began because Big Cass hates small men like Daniel Bryan.

Even Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley was a very boring storyline, this also ended at Money in the Bank 2018. This rivalry included many awful moments, such as Sami Zayn bringing fake girls as Lashley's sisters to interview them, and to insult Lashley.

Then there was Roman Reigns and Jinder Mahal which was also a pretty awful storyline. This rivalry just started out of nowhere, with Jinder attacking Roman just because he didn't get a chance to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match. With the end of this rivalry, both wrestlers can now concentrate on other goals.

#1 Finally an awesome WWE Championship match

We finally got what we wanted

AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura are both incredible wrestlers who are capable of giving five star matches. Fans always expect awesome matches when these two face each other. However WWE doesn't always do what the fans want, and keeps them hungry for more.

Shinsuke Nakamura won the Men's Royal Rumble Match back in January to earn a shot at the WWE title. Everyone thought that if Shinsuke loses, this story would end then and there itself, but what happened instead was something we never expected.

This rivalry started back at WrestleMania 34 when Styles defeated Nakamura to retain his WWE Championship. Since then Nakamura turned heel, and hit AJ Styles with Low Blows every week, just because he liked to hurt AJ Styles.

This was the 5th match in this rivalry, and turned out to be the best out of all. It was probably the end of this rivalry, and the WWE Championship still belongs to AJ Styles. This was a Last Man Standing Match, and was truly a must see competitive battle.
