WWE Money in the Bank 2020: Ranking every match on the PPV

Money in the Bank 2020 is now in the books, with varying degrees of quality and entertainment. Like every pay-per-view, this one had its peaks and troughs. However, almost everything on the show was entertaining.

The show was obviously headlined by the simultaneous Money in the Bank Ladder Matches for the men and the women, happening at WWE's Corporate Headquarters. The undercard was also decent, emanating from the Performance Center. We saw some great action and progressive storytelling.

RAW and SmackDown might not be the most entertaining product right now, but despite the lack of live fans, Money in the Bank was a net positive for sure. There were enough good matches and moments for it to be worth a watch.

Every year, Money in the Bank is one of the most action-packed and entertaining WWE events on the calendar. This year was no different. But what stood out the most on this crazy night of action?

Here is every match from Money in the Bank 2020 ranked, from worst to best.

#7 R-Truth vs Bobby Lashley

This was an impromptu match, initially scheduled to be R-Truth vs MVP. After an entertaining little segment in the ring between the two veterans, Bobby Lashley came out to replace MVP. Predictably, he ran over Truth to earn an easy victory.

While this could possibly lead to some interesting developments towards an alliance of sorts between Lashley and MVP, the match was merely a one-sided squash. The former Intercontinental Champion looked dominant, but this did not need to happen at Money in the Bank.

The fact that this was a squash root R-Truth and Bobby Lashley to the bottom of this list, along with the random nature of the initial match announcement involving MVP. That being said, it was one of the more entertaining squash match segments in recent memory.

#6 Bayley vs Tamina (SmackDown Women's Championship)

This was quite evidently the biggest match of Tamina's WWE career, but Bayley stole the show with her brilliant heel work during the match. She has been one of the highlights of SmackDown with her "rivalry" with Michael Cole and continued her roll here.

Bayley survived with the victory thanks to some help from her best friend, Sasha Banks. The 'Legit Boss' remains a very compelling piece of the main story in the SmackDown women's division. The pre-entrance scene of Banks staying quiet after Bayley didn't let her speak maybe something to revisit.

Tamina had an alright showing at Money in the Bank. While she started off a bit sloppy, the WWE veteran grew into the contest and had a great burst of fire towards the end of the match. It was a standard Face vs Heel bout that you'd expect.

However, at the end of the day, this match between Bayley and Tamina was simply a small part of a bigger story between Bayley and Banks.

#5 Braun Strowman vs Bray Wyatt (Universal Championship)

While the action in this match was decent, it was all about the storytelling. That is the most important aspect in all of Bray Wyatt's matches now, whether it is The Fiend who wrestles or his jolly 'Fun House' self. And Money in the Bank is not the end of the story between him and Braun Strowman.

It was a stiff match, with both Strowman and Wyatt having some decent offense. But the heart of the match saw Huskus the Pig make an appearance in the stands to cheer on the host of the Firefly Fun House. The other puppets would show up later in the match.

Braun Strowman appeared to reunite with Bray Wyatt, putting on the Black Sheep mask he was given. But just as it seemed like the Wyatt Family was coming back to life, the 'Monster Among Men' deceived his former leader and hit him with a Powerslam to retain the Universal Title.

It surely was an entertaining match, but there is more to come from both Superstars. The feud between Wyatt and Strowman could turn out to be a significant moment in both their careers.

#4 The New Day vs Lucha House Party vs The Miz and John Morrison vs The Forgotten Sons (SmackDown Tag Team Championship)

Money in the Bank opened with this all-action Tag Team Championship match, filled with fun spots, blind tags, and broken pins. Every team in this match had their moments, with Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik impressing the most. It did pretty much everything a pay-per-view opener should do.

The match was naturally entertaining, but one can't help but feel that it would have been so much better in front of a crowd. The SmackDown tag team division has been solid for the past few months and hopefully, the fine form can continue beyond Money in the Bank.

The New Day retained their titles with Big E gaining the victory, furthering his momentum. However, it seems like the Forgotten Sons could pose a bigger threat to the 8-time Champions. Despite not winning at Money in the Bank, they got some spotlight in the match.

This was the standard opening multi-man tag team match and did a good job of setting the tone for the rest of the show.

#3 Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins (WWE Championship)

This was a phenomenal WWE Championship match. A great first scheduled title defense for Drew McIntyre. He and Seth Rollins really put in the work at Money in the Bank, making this really good. That is what we've come to expect from two of the best in the business.

There were no outside shenanigans involving Murphy, just two men fighting it out for the richest prize in the game. McIntyre and Rollins sold the urgency of the match brilliantly, raising the stock of the WWE Title in the process. This was the Messiah's second straight world title banger at Money in the Bank.

The physical nature of the match enhanced it, with some brutal-looking moves from both Superstars. McIntyre was on fire, continuing his excellent form as the top face on Monday Night RAW. His reign so far has been great, despite what the ratings say.

Rollins also looked great in defeat, earning the WWE Champion's respect after the match. The two even shared a handshake, symbolizing said respect. This was really good, but it could have been a classic in front of a crowd. The chemistry between Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins was showcased brilliantly at Money in the Bank.

#2 and #1 Men's and Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Matches

The entire Money in the Bank pay-per-view was built around the two ladder matches, taking place simultaneously at WWE's Corporate Headquarters. And boy, they did not disappoint. All 12 Money in the Bank competitors rose to the occasion, as WWE created a "mini-movie" good enough to rival the Boneyard and Firefly Fun House matches.

There was a perfect blend of comedy, action, and storytelling. Some of the cameos were also lovely to see, with Vince McMahon and his office being one of the highlights. Other WWE backstage figures like Brother Love, John Laurinaitis, and Stephanie McMahon appeared in the match, interacting with current talents.

There were some really funny moments involving AJ Styles, Otis, and Dana Brooke among others. There was a rewarding piece of continuity when The Phenomenal One was visibly spooked by a poster of The Undertaker and was locked in a room with a coffin by Aleister Black.

There was a considerable amount of interaction between the men and the women. Otis had an intense staredown with Nia Jax, while Shayna Baszler choked out Rey Mysterio. The action on the roof of Titan Towers was also pretty wild.

King Corbin tossed Mysterio and Black off the roof. He should lay low for a while. He was knocked off a ladder by Asuka, who won the women's Money in the Bank briefcase. The men's briefcase was captured by Otis after it was knocked out of Styles' hands.

The two-in-one Money in the Bank ladder match was an extremely fun watch and is up there with the other gold standards of WWE's cinematic collection. The entire sequence was the highlight of the entire event.
