Wrestle Review: Money in the Bank 2018

Men's Money in the Bank Briefcase: Braun Strowman vs. Kevin Owens vs. Bobby Roode vs. Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe vs. The Miz vs. Rusev vs. Kofi Kingston

This editions Men's Money in the Bank match is probably the most fun the match has ever been. It's thanks to the unique mix of competitors with unexpectedly four hosses, two technical showmen and two high flyers. Add to that a never-dying Braun Strowman wrecking things like a horror movie monster and the scared expressions of Kevin Owens and the Miz.

Everything about this match screams entertainment with an unbelievable rewatch value. The only major issue is that the match avoids really having substance beyond its crash-bang style. More importantly, WWE decided to use it to crown Braun Strowman the winner.

Realistically Strowman would crush the other seven men, even a brutally persistent Samoa Joe. Yet it's not like Strowman really needs the briefcase especially with the seven men banding together to take him out. The fun of the match was in many things, not just Strowman, from Kofi possibly reigning supreme to Rusev day's power show. Regardless of the end, the fun of it all will stick.
