In addition, there were a few blink-and-miss moments, a few unexpected reactions and more throughout the show that might have slipped you by, in case you weren't concentrating hard enough! Here are five such moments you might have missed at Money in the Bank.

#5 Babyfaces do not work

The second match on the card tonight was a match that has perhaps garnered the least interest on the entire card - Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley. As much as the Chicago crowd was fired up throughout the night, this was a match they were least interested in, and they made it quite clear.

It is a testament to how badly white meat babyface characters fail that, just over a couple of months after his much-hyped return, Bobby Lashley was not exactly the crowd favourite Superstar WWE hoped he would be. In fact, the match was littered with many 'Sami Zayn' chants!

The only time Lashley got cheered was whenever he demonstrated some feats of strength. Maybe WWE should take the hint and make him a power-house destroyer without focusing too much on things like his family, his military service and the like. And while they're at it, a new finisher will definitely help.

#4 Just take the briefcase, Becky

More than a subtle moment, this was quite a botch by Alexa Bliss/Becky Lynch as they messed up the timing of the finish to the Women's MITB match. Lynch's fault might be that she climbed up the ladder too quickly, while Bliss did not get back into the ring fast enough.

What this resulted in, is Lynch standing on top of the ladder for an awkward few seconds with the hook open, and the briefcase clearly up for grabs, just waiting for Bliss to bring her down. Nonetheless, the women together put on a great match and this moment just shows how hard it is to perfectly orchestrate a match in WWE, timing being most critical.

#3 Many moments on the Kickoff show

All PPVs are preceded by a one hour kickoff show, during which a panel usually analyses the matches on the card, and one or two matches of lower significance take place. The show is usually unimportant and fans can safely skip the whole thing.

But today's was slightly different, as there were many subtle humorous moments throughout the show. Go back and watch the whole thing on YouTube to catch these moments - Kevin Owens sneaking in the pancakes that he tried to bribe the New Day with (while cutting a hilarious promo with Charly Caruso) (at 8:30); a single person shouting his lungs out for CM Punk and startling Booker T (10:24); Booker T calling referring to himself as a Hall of Famer, causing Daniel Bryan to say he was 'putting himself over' (skip to 28:44); and finally, Bryan still seemingly bitter about Talking Smack being cancelled (seek to 28:34)!

#2 Wrong entrance order and later Jojo messes up

It is customary for the challenger to make their entrance first and the Champion to enter the ring later. If the match is not a Championship match, it is usually the person being pushed, who enters last. For instance, in any match they are in, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman are usually the last to make their entrance.

But WWE mixed things up a bit, as in this particular match it was the Champion who entered first, followed by The Rowdy One. A sign of a massive push for Rousey? Innocent mix-up? Time will tell.

The match itself ended in a shocking manner as Alexa Bliss cashed in her MITB contract when both the women were down, to become the new Raw Women's Champion. However, amidst the excitement, ring announcer Jojo mixed up her lines a bit. Instead of saying, Money in the Bank, she went on to say that Alexa Bliss was cashing in her Money in the 'briefcase' contract!

#1 Coach drops a massive hint

Seth Rollins defended his Intercontinental Championship successfully against Elias at Money in the Bank, picking up the victory with a surprise roll up. However, the moment I am talking about here has nothing to do with the match itself, but something Coach said during the beginning of the match.

While the commentators were going on about how Rollins was a fighting Champion, having defended his Championship all over the world, Jonathan Coachman had this to say, "No offence to Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar, but Seth Rollins is 'the man'..".

This could have been a nonchalant statement if not for the fact that Seth Rollins has been widely rumored to be Lesnar's next challenger for the Universal Title next! So, did Coach give us a confirmation/spoiler of sorts about how the storyline would go? Maybe! We just have to wait and see.
