WWE's Top 10 Matches of May 2019

#9 Ali vs. Andrade vs. Finn Balor vs. Randy Orton (SmackDown, May 14th)

As much as this was an annoying WWE trope - the multi-man match preview of an even bigger multi-man match, it was still an exciting bout. With the talent involved in the contest, there wasn't any way it wasn't going to be.

Each man got some time to shine, but Andrade got the most shine during the match. He won at the end of it with a Hammerlock DDT and then proceeded to climb the ladder. Ricochet made a sudden appearance due to the "Wild Card" rule and took the briefcase before Andrade, basically signaling neither of them would win.

Still, this was a fun adrenaline rush.

#8 Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens (Money in the Bank)

This match didn't quite live up to its build, but it was nevertheless a fun showing. With Kofi Kingston and Kevin Owens in the ring, there wasn't any way it wasn't going to be.

There were elements of suspense as we reached the end. Kevin Owens hit a Stunner on Kofi Kingston, but the champion got his foot on the bottom rope. Kofi Kingston hit the Trouble in Paradise, but Owens rolled out of the ring.

It's rare that finishers like that are protected these days, in the sense that there wasn't a kick out to one of them. Eventually, Kingston was the one that won the war of attrition, remaining champion.
