WWE Money In The Bank 2019: Analysing and grading each match

#11 Men's Money In The Bank ladder match

Storyline background: Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Ali, Andrade, Finn Balor and Randy Orton were chosen to participate in the men's Money In The Bank ladder match. The eighth member was supposed to be Sami Zayn after he defeated Braun Strowman on Raw to take his place, but the former NXT champion was attacked earlier in the show by Strowman. As a result, the match only had seven participants.

Match summary: Orton dominated early on by launching Ali, Balor and Ricochet back-first onto the announce desk. The ladders then came into play, notably when Andrade sent Balor crashing onto a ladder with a sunset flip powerbomb from the top of another ladder, while Corbin made his mark by chokeslamming Ali through an announce desk before betraying McIntyre. In the end, it looked as though Ali was set to retrieve the briefcase but Brock Lesnar's music hit and "The Beast" raced down to the ring, where he took out Ali before climbing the ladder to win the match.

Verdict: That match summary could have been 500 words and it wouldn't have done justice to how chaotic this main event truly was. Every Superstar in the match was involved in a crazy bump or moment with a ladder at some stage, and then Lesnar showed up completely unannounced and won the match, despite not being a participant! Some people will hate the ending. Personally, I found it entertaining. Either way, it makes Raw must-see viewing on Monday.

Grade: A
