WWE Money In The Bank 2021 | A Coherent Review

Last year's Money In The Bank show was one of my all-time favourites. You wanna know why? 

It's because it ended in 2 hours and 10 minutes. As a guy with an intensive full-time job, that alone has to be the reason why 2020 MITB is a great show. 

How did this year's show hold up? Well, it was quite simply, an enjoyable 3-hour program. 

I had my so-called "money's worth" after watching this PPV. 

Oh, and the Smackdown tag team championship match was aye okay.

Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. 


You would think that Alexa Bliss would've won this match considering that she has voodoo powers, right? 

But, I can't pull the "white dude that complains about logic in a subject piece of entertainment" because this match was probably one of the best multi-person ladder matches I've seen in quite some time. 

Nikki A.S.H overcame the odds like a good superhero story would tell by winning the briefcase. 

Given that she's been winning match after match as of late, I do not mind this win but will see what the future holds.

AJ Styles And Omos vs The Viking Raiders For The RAW Tag Team Championship. 


They gave those dudes some TIME and it paid off. The encounter was a fun one. The match did a great job of highlighting the strengths of Omos while hiding the weakness of the big man. 

The duo of AJ Styles and Omos retained thanks to a double chokeslam from Omos to Erik shades of this past week's Monday Night RAW episode. 

Bobby Lashley vs Kofi Kingston For The WWE Championship. 


The storytelling going into this match didn't justify what we got here which was a glorified squash match. 

However, I could see this match being a catalyst for a potential feud with Big E as he just witnessed his best friend getting destroyed with ease. 

That is if Big E grabs the briefcase (spoilers, he does).  

Bobby Lashley walked out of Fort Worth still the WWE champion with the Full Nelson submission. 

Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair For The RAW Women's Championship. 


This wasn't as good as their previous matches but it was decent for what it was. 

That top rope natural selection from Charlotte Flair to quote that overused chant, "is awesome". 

The stomp on the steel steps from Charlotte Flair and a figure 8 is how Rhea Ripley's disappointing championship reign came to a close. 

In other words, Charlotte Flair is now what feels like the gazillionth time women's championship (you know Google exists, right Omar?). 

This win is leading to a Becky Lynch return and feud, right? 

Honestly, I would prefer a fresh matchup between a Rhea and a (potentially) returning Becky Lynch. 

As of this moment, I'm right in the middle when it comes to how I feel about the finish. I'm not on board with it but at the same time, I don't completely hate it either. 

Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. 


Fans singing Shinsuke Nakamura's theme song just feels right. 

You know what doesn't feel right? A 3 hour Monday Night RAW or a bad Ryan Coogler movie. 

Like the women's Money In The Bank ladder match, this one was f**king fantastic. 

John Morrison and Seth shouting at each other about who's got the drip, had me DYING! 

Big E grabbed the contract and that's how the New Day member wins the whole thing.

I could not be happier. To quote the popular content creator, Flight, "nice. Nice. It made me happy. It made me smile." 

Roman Reigns vs Edge For The Universal Championship. 


This ain't a show with a live audience without some CM Punk chants. 

Guys, it's been several years. Let it go. The JBL and Cole show ain't coming back (yes, I'm repeating the same joke because I'M FUNNEEE!).  

The match was a little too slow-paced for my liking but it was nevertheless, a fine encounter. 

Seth Rollins took his frustrations on to Edge as he attacked the Rated R superstar with a kick on the back of Edge's neck while the referee was down. 

That wasn't how the tribal chief retained the championship though. 

It took a *ugh* distraction from Rollins for Roman to hit the spear to walk out of the arena still as the champion. 

Rollins further gave the hall of famer a beating which led to a brawl between those two men. 


But then. Out came the 16-time world champion, the closest thing to Superman that isn't Henry Cavill, the only middle-aged man that wears jean shorts like it's the 2000s and the internet meme sensation himself, John Felix Anthony Cena. 

And that crowd went f**king insane. Probably one of the loudest reactions I've ever heard in my 14-year wrestling fandom. 

Sh*t. Tell that to an ECW fan that was in the 2006 one thing stand PPV and they wouldn't believe you. 

I can't wait for this encounter, to be quite honest. It actually made me look forward to witnessing this week's episode. I'll give it a Roger Ebert thumbs up for that ending. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Women's And The Men'sMoney In The Bank Ladder Match, Big E's Victory, The RAW Tag Team Championship Match, My time is up, my time is now.  

Didn't like: Bobby Lashley vs Kofi Kingston (too damn disappointing).

Yes, The 5 New Week made its return after a 2-week hiatus and I wanna admit something to you guys.  Last year, I was really looking forward to 2020 and how unlike 2019, I'm actually going to maintain a schedule of articles I put out every week (which you can see the entire thing by clicking on the about page).  But, I certainly didn't and it really bothers me that I have to not publish an article due to personal life or a struggle with fighting against my mortal enemy, laziness. The inconsistencies of the articles I publish will continue and that's the sad part. Anywho, on with the news.  What's Going On With Nia Jax As Of Late!?  Last week, Fightful Select and Sean Ross Sapp stated that Kairi Sane was badly injured that involved a cut on her head during a match with Nia Jax.  Now, whenever the words " x wrestler injured " and " Nia Jax " are in the same sentence then you'll know the rest of the song.  Fast forward to this pas...

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  some pictures via wwe.com Who Came Up With The Finish For The IC Title Triple Threat Match? Talking about this gem of a match for the second time in this series because why not, right?  Remember the brilliant ending where Sami Zayn handcuffed Styles' hand and Jeff Hardy's ear to climb the ladder and grab the title?  Well, the interviewer over at Metro UK asked the interviewee, Sami Zayn about that finish and who came up with that idea:  "I wish I could take all the credit for that, but actually Jamie Noble’s a real genius,’ Sami said. ‘He doesn’t get the credit he deserves." I don't blame Zayn for positively talking about this match due to the fact that it was simply a fantastic bout.  And, if you want to know more about my thoughts on the match as...

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss...
