WWE Money in the Bank: 3 Likes and 4 Dislikes of the PPV

#4 Disliked: Brock Lesnar stealing another title opportunity

The Beast wins the Money in the Bank briefcase.

So this is WWE's go-to strategy every time ratings are going downhill, bring back Brock Lesnar.

No, I'm not going to go overboard with my criticism of WWE or Brock Lesnar in this article, but the booking should have been better. It was literally one of the best ladder matches I'd watched in quite some time, until The Beast won the match in the manner he did.

The other performers in this match were out there 20 minutes tearing each other apart, until Brock Lesnar just appeared, climbed up the ladder and stole the victory.

Why have Brock Lesnar in this match, instead of having him confronting Seth Rollins after his match with AJ Styles?

WWE really need to sit down and focus on what they are doing. Logical booking, proper investment in young talent who care about the business, proper build up and consistent character development are what is needed to fix the issues the company has currently.

Any chance the company has of rebuilding Superstars back up are put on hold when part-timers are around. Sure, they bring nostalgia value and experience to WWE, but the company needs new and fresh stars. They don't need former Superstars that are well past their prime and just there to collect a paycheck from WWE.

It really is mindboggling to try and understand why Mr. McMahon continues to invest huge amounts of money in Brock Lesnar.

Many people are tired of his presence and want him to stay away from WWE. His victory at MITB really destroyed the momentum of the PPV. This was certainly a missed opportunity to crown a new star by WWE.

#2 Liked: The Universal Title Match between Seth Rollins (c) and AJ Styles

AJ Styles and Seth Rollins show each other respect.

This match was quite easily the best match of the night. It certainly exceeded my expectations, given how restricted superstars are in WWE with their move set.

It was a pure wrestling clinic from start to finish. The quality of the match is something you would see in NXT or on the Independent scene. Both men literally brought their A game to this match.

Seth Rollins seemed to have a new found aggression to him and was slightly outperforming Styles for the majority of the match. If you look closely at the match, you will see Rollins got in a lot more offense. The Phenomenal One seemed to take a lot of superkicks from Rollins, which rocked him throughout the match.

I'm sure that the reason many of us didn't keep our hopes up too high was probably because of the dream matches WWE has ruined in the past ( Styles v Nakamura at WrestleMania 34). How very wrong we all were on this occasion.

I think both were allowed some creative freedom on this match to make sure it would turn out into the classic it was.

Triple H would have had enough faith in these two Superstars to create a masterpiece. If this was the case then it was the correct call to make.

Not everything in WWE should have to be scripted down. If WWE allowed more creative input from performers, maybe several previous dream matches would have lived up to the hype.

Everybody who watched the PPV found out why these two men are considered two of the best wrestlers in the world. Styles is in his early 40's and he is still Phenomenal in the ring. Seth Rollins, on the other hand, has become the best in-ring performer in the WWE today. He is literally a cardio machine and always delivers good matches.
