#3 Disliked: The number of botches in the entire PPV
Not only was it the referees making mistakes, but the Superstars themselves were making many. Most of the matches had numerous botches, except maybe one or two. The Women's Money in the Bank match was full of botches from start to finish. It did make it difficult to watch at times.
One of the more interesting points in the Women's MITB match, was when Mandy Rose hurt Carmella's leg accidentally. What was more visible was Carmella trying to push Rose away and trying to say that she was hurt. The Golden Goddess appeared completely lost after Carmella's injury. It seemed that Mandy couldn't fathom was next after that.
Several women forgot their spots during the match. The women had to call spots on the fly due to Carmella's injury. This resulted in the match suffering even further. Most of the problem appeared to be misqueue's and poorly rehearsed sequences.
Luckily for WWE, it pays having people who are good ring generals like Natalya and Bayley in the match. These two Superstars are able to help call spots which helped make the match passable.
Another match that had a couple botches was Lacey Evans versus Becky Lynch. It was mainly coming from Evans' end from inexperience, which isn't necessarily her fault.
Lacey Evans was thrust into this match, due to WWE having no other credible heel challengers for Becky Lynch.
There was a point during the match where Becky was on the second rope to deliver a move. It seemed that Becky had to improvise on the spot, as Lacey didn't appear to be in the correct position. This wasn't the only moment such a thing happened. Lacey was out of position several times and sold moves that barely connected.
It was clear that The Man was helping to guide The Southern Sassy Belle in the match. You could visibly see Lynch saying things to Evans throughout the contest.
It still turned out to be a good match, with more experience, Evans will continue improving. She performed well considering this was her first PPV match. She is slotting into her heel character nicely also.
The other matches on the PPV didn't necessarily suffer from multiple botches. There was a slight botch from Hartford's favorite son Baron Corbin.
It happened when he took a Claymore kick from Drew McIntyre. You could see was clearly blocked by Corbin's hands, however he sold the move.
I think the other matches suffered from something else which I will cover in my next dislike. It is an extension from this point.
#4 Disliked Poor in ring flow and chemistry during matches
Last night, the quality and flow of most matches on the PPV was extremely poor. What really surprised me, was the match quality of the cruiserweight title.
It was actually hard to be interested in, which is strange to say as they are usually high octane matches. Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari just didn't seem to click at all throughout the match.
Daivari just didn't seem like he was ready for such a stage as a PPV yet. The match was stagnant because of all the counter moves both men made on each other.
It competely sucked the energy out of the match. The only interesting part was the usual Running Nese right knee in the corner to Daivari
There was nothing too fancy about this match. The cruiserweights are usually just there to show high quality matches. The bad thing is, they receive very little in terms of character development. It certainly would make the talent feel like filler content.
The steel cage match between Shane McMahon and The Miz was another hard match to watch. There was little in terms of in-ring flow during the match. Shane and The Miz just don't have any chemistry at all in the ring.
The only good thing about it was Miz beating the tar out of Shane with a chair. The Miz has to work a lot harder on his offence if he is to remain a face.
His splash off the top rope is mediocre at best and his " it" kicks are equally as bad. Also, he needs to start getting wins before he loses credibility. His second clean loss to Shane has hurt Miz's standing greatly.
Both Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio suffered a similar pattern to The Miz and Shane. Joe or Mysterio are not as agile and quick as they used to be 15 years ago.
If they were, the matches would be much better, however both men are veterans who may retire soon. Their current styles do not mesh together very well. Rey is more of a highflyer, while Joe is a submission and mat tactician. The size difference is also something which makes it not work.
It is unknown why the MITB PPV suffered from poor match quality. It came across to me like laziness and people getting too comfortable with their spot in the roster.
Certain people like Seth Rollins, Kofi Kingston, AJ Styles and Finn Balor stepped up to the plate. Others appeared underprepared and just seemed like they have stopped caring. It's understandable that the WWE has just gotten back from a two-week European tour. That means there is no time for talent to get complacent and to give up on WWE altogether.
The threat of AEW is very real for WWE. Vince McMahon might not be the easiest to work for. I think if any superstars on the roster really want to be seen as a big star, they will stick it out and put in 100% effort to be successful in WWE.
It's got to be more of a team effort from WWE management and talent, so we can get consistent and quality content. Money in the Bank 2019 certainly wasn't the best, nor the worst PPV they have produced. Lets hope the next PPV is better.
