5 things that shouldn't have happened at Money In The Bank 2018

This year's Money In The Bank PPV gave us much to be happy about. It had it all, a hellacious match between Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles, Elias proving his mettle in his first Championship match, Rousey showing all doubters that she can handle her own in a WWE ring and the cash in to keep everything balanced on RAW.

Only Sportskeeda gives you the latest Wrestling News, rumors and updates.

Along with such great performances, most of the WWE fans will be happy that feuds such as the ones between Bryan and Cass, Mahal and Reigns and above all, Lashley and Zayn have now possibly come to an end. We hope to see these men move on from these disappointing feuds to something more worthwhile.

The Nakamura vs Styles easily stole the show, finally giving viewers the well-deserved match between both competitors. This feud too has run its course and come Tuesday night, we should see a new challenger being crowned for the WWE Title.

While MITB can be called an overall success, there were a few segments that disappointed and should have happened in a different way.

#5 Cass tapping out again

There's no coming back for Cass from this

After weeks of saying why he is better than Daniel Bryan, Cass came up short yet again in another match against The Leader of The Yes Movement. While many expected this match to end in no other way, the seven footer's credibility as a threat to any other wrestler is greatly hurt.

The last time these two met at Backlash, Cass tapped out to the Yes Lock and this time was no different with him tapping out to the heel hook. Cass is no way as sound a technical wrestler as Bryan is, but for Cass to be taken seriously, a win against Bryan here would have been the way to go.

#4 An anticlimactic end to Rollins vs Elias

Red Hot Rollins pulls out a tough win

This match was Elias' first ever shot for a championship in the WWE and he didn't disappoint us in any way. The Drifter stepped up to the challenge and proved that he had it in him to possibly hold a title someday in the future.

Praising Rollins would be too easy. He does what is expected of him every time he steps into the ring. Elias, on the other hand, impressed the WWE Universe by going toe to toe with The Architect.

The two went move for move with each other and there were too many near falls to count. The match was so close to call that Elias made us believe that he could actually pull off the upset victory.

The entire match was exciting and kept the viewers at the edge of their seats throughout. But the rollup victory was a downer.

The match did what it was supposed to, push Elias to the next level. Rollins could have hit the Blackout after Elias' rollup attempt and Elias would have still come out strong in the end. Most of the momentum that the match gained was lost because of the finish.

#3 Roman Reigns vs Jinder Mahal on the main show

Nobody was even the least bit interested in this match

Jinder Mahal vs Roman Reigns was a match that featured on the main show because of the sheer fact that Reigns was in it. The feud had no reason for anybody to be excited about the match.

The match really wasn't half bad, but because of either predictable results or the crowd that didn't even give the match or chance, the match just blew.

During the match, the crowd was heard chanting "CM Punk", "boring", "NXT", "Rusev Day" and "this is awful" among other chants. It's like WWE can't negotiate with the crowd when it comes to Roman Reigns and nobody but the company is to blame for this. Reigns can be the future of WWE but the time for the future isn't now.

The reaction of the crowd shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone. WWE could have actually dodged a bullet by exchanging this match with the SmackDown Live Tag Team Titles match.

That match wouldn't have gotten as bad as a reaction as this match did. WWE need to really think out of the box when it comes to Roman Reigns because his image and character are both deep in a ditch with no sign of coming out.

#2 Bobby Lashley not squashing Sami Zayn

This match lasted too long

The feud between Lashley and Zayn might be the worst feud of the year. This build up had nothing for us to be excited about.

The match lasted too long for no reason. Everyone knew that Zayn would come up on the losing end and to make Lashley look strong, the match should have been a squash match.

This could have been a great chance for Lashley to showcase his move set and prove to be a legitimate threat to champions in WWE.

This match helped neither man, with both competitors walking away weak from it. Lashley needs a way to connect with the fans as well as a new finishing move.

#1 Braun Strowman winning the Men's MITB Briefcase

He needed the win the least

Not many expected Braun Strowman to win the MITB Briefcase at the PPV. Among all the Superstars that competed in the match, Strowman is easily the most over with the fans. The role a MITB briefcase plays is that it almost instantaneously projects the winner into the main title scene. There were many competitors who needed that win more than Strowman.

Strowman and The Miz were the two Superstars who needed this win the least because they're stars who will always be the main attraction of a show and will have title reigns in the near future. Superstars such as Kevin Owens, Roode, Balor and Rusev needed this win to push themselves into the main event picture and get themselves the limelight they rightfully deserve.
