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

#4 Shane McMahon vs. The Miz (Steel Cage)

Storyline background: Shane McMahon defeated The Miz in a Falls Count Anywhere match at WrestleMania 35. The rivalry has continued since then, with McMahon aligning with Elias to target Miz on Raw and Roman Reigns on SmackDown Live.

Match summary: McMahon attempted a Coast to Coast after an early spell of dominance but Miz reversed it into a Figure Four. When McMahon introduced a steel chair, Miz took hold of it and slowly assaulted his opponent with multiple chair shots. McMahon then got his foot on the rope after a Skull Crushing Finale and the referee stopped his pinfall count, despite the fact that cage matches have a No Disqualification stipulation. The finish saw Miz (hanging inside the cage) attempt another suplex, much like at 'Mania, but McMahon (hanging outside the cage) slipped out of his t-shirt and his feet landed at ringside.

Verdict: The WrestleMania match between these two was among the best of the night. This, however, fell a little short of expectations. Maybe it was because there was nothing on the line, or because the big pay-off should have been at 'Mania, or because Miz should technically have won when the referee invoked the rope break rule, but it felt like something was missing. Overall, this six-month storyline has been very good. It's just a shame that the finish came across as underwhelming.

Grade: B-
