Money in the Bank 2019: 5 Mistakes WWE made at the PPV

#3 Roman Reigns squashes Elias

'The Big Dog' made quick work of Elias at Money in the Bank.

The feud between Roman Reigns and Elias had been done well up until MITB. Elias had the upper hand at several points in their feud but had a lot of help at every turn.

While there was little doubt that Reigns would win the match, the fashion in which he won did more damage to Elias than it did help The Big Dog.

We know that Reigns is nearly infallible when it comes to wins and losses in WWE. He will likely only lose in monumental fashion after being attacked several times during a match or if he endures grueling matches in the same night.

But against Elias, someone who had been positioned as a top heel on SmackDown following the Superstar Shake Up, he merely walked out to the ring, punched Elias a few times outside of the ring and then speared him. It all happened in under three minutes.

Elias needed a much better showing against Reigns specifically because he had been an ally of the McMahons.

Now he just looks like the lackeys that the B-Team were when they faced Reigns in a match on SmackDown. Elias should have lasted longer in the match but instead suffered a loss that should have been reserved for a lesser heel. If you want to create new stars, that is not the way to do it.
