Do you ever wonder why it’s called Money in the Bank when there is no money and no banks involved?

Whoever invented this match should be ridiculed into leaving the company

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Anyway Sami Zayn absolutely needs to win this to set up a very fun dynamic between him and the Bloodline where he uses his leverage to gain favor and the Bloodline fakes interest him to dissuade him from cashing in.

It would literally be the greatest storyline ever.

[slik]

My guesses are:

Lacey Evans

Drew McIntyre

[#1-norm-fan]

Just basing guesses on WWE’s usual booking method of “Who gives a fuck? Draw a name out of a hat…”

Lacey Evans
Sami Zayn

[#1-norm-fan]

Seth Rollins winning it and Cody coming back to challenge him for it would make some sense in WWE though.

I’m not saying a heel constantly failing to beat a face, only to luck into a #1 contendership and then have to finally beat the face in order to keep it makes sense in any LOGICAL storytelling sense… But it’s something I can see them doing,

[Sepholio]

lol while I love PPVs being on Saturdays I also hate it because I haven't adjusted to it yet. Completely forgot this was tonight.

[Sepholio]

lol at Bookers prediction for the Theory/Lashley match being a DQ.

[xrodmuc316]

What the hell kind of filters are they running the women on those posters through? Askua and Raquel look really weird, and Bliss and Carmela look like they are in their 40's, and Nattie, well actually that is pretty much how Nattie has morphed her face into these days :lol:

[Sepholio]

Raquel looks straight up weird in that shot. Kinda creepy.

LOL @ JBL predicting Natalya taps out Rousey.

[xrodmuc316]

Becky :drool:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Looks like Lacey’s drunk father was actually Big Daddy Dudley

[xrodmuc316]

Green haired Shotzi wearing Red Leather
Red haired Becky wearing Green Leather
It is like Christmas in multiple ways :rofl:

[slik]

Nice, Liv is long overdue to win MITB, she was the crowd favorite the last couple years

[slik]

Women's MITB went around 16 minutes

[slik]

Raquel/Shotzi both a lil botchy

[xrodmuc316]

Man Lashley over as hell in Vegas

[Triple A]

Let's go Austin Theory

[slik]

Lashley wins the US Title in 10 min

Surprised by that since Theory/Cena is the SS rumor

[Sepholio]

Lashley goes over. Kinda surprised there. Looks like he has a loose tooth after that too.

Bianca wins in 7 minutes

[xrodmuc316]

Bianca hits Carmella in the mouth.
Graves "No, she isnt even on my dental insurance yet!"

Funny!

[#1-norm-fan]

Glad they didn’t just “use” Lashley to try to get another younger guy over. Build Theory up in his own lane for a while and see if it works. Until then, build Lashley like a final boss.

[slik]

I like the pinball theme for SummerSlam graphics

[slik]

Hope someone gets attacked and Theory gets put in MITB and wins

[Triple A]

Usos the most boring team

[slik]

Could see Montez Ford vs Austin Theory headlining a WM in the future

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Usos the most boring team

Man I don’t agree with this at all. Think it’s the WWE slow methodical style.

Usos vs Young Bucks would be ultra tits

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Kick out of a doomsday blockbuster

Ok

[slik]

Usos in 23 min

[Triple A]

Match was good though

[slik]

I guess Bray is back because I can't picture that vignette being for anyone else

Wasnt it jericho's idea?

[slik]

I paused the suspected Bray vignette several times:

Dudley Boys broken glasses
Latino Heat license plate
Jeff Hardy's armbands
Gold Medals

Hmmmmm

[Triple A]

cool @ Liv Morgan cashing in and beating Rousey

[slik]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Ronda's boring ass reign is over. One of the best cash-ins.

[slik]

Hopefully WWE releases Ronda now

She's boring and has no 'it factor' in 2022 and she sucks...free the budget Nick Khan!

[slik]

Could see Bayley vs Liv at SummerSlam if Bayley is due back soon

[Triple A]

What happened for the past 10 mins, why is Theory in the match now

[slik]

Hope someone gets attacked and Theory gets put in MITB and wins

Yessssssssssss

[Triple A]

Let's go Sami Zayn

[Triple A]

or Riddle

[slik]

I like Rollins gear

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wasnt it jericho's idea?

Yes

[slik]

Let's go Theory!

[Triple A]

Riddle brings the crowd to life

[slik]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss

Best MITB since 2011

Since the Women's MITB Contract was introduced, the contract has been held for a total of 289 days. This is the breakdown

1. Carmella - 287 days before cashing in
2. Nikki A.S.H. - 1 day cashing in
3. Asuka - 1 day before she was awarded the title
4. Alexa Bliss - 0 days before cashing in
5. Bayley - 0 days before cashing in
6. Liv Morgan - 0 days before cashing in

It's like the writers don't know how to write the complicated story of a woman carrying a briefcase or something :rofl:

[Triple A]

I remember Carmella doing a good job as "Ms. Money in the Bank"

[erickman]

good to see a heel win in theory win money in the bank. too bad roman is hogging both belts.

I thought to myself “I’m sure they’ve done that same night cash in not so long ago” :lol:

Guess those cases are too heavy for a little lady to be carrying around.

[XL]

Surprised by Theory’s win. Difficult to see where it takes him from here.

McIntyre wins, announced cash-in at the UK show.
Seth wins, holds it til Cody gets back. Feud over the case. Or Cody wins Rumble, goes to Mania to face Roman, Greatest Hiest of All Time II to crush Cody’s dream.
Riddle wins, cost his cash in by a returning Orton (though I wouldn’t want Orton heel)
Zayn wins setting up dynamic with Roman. Either goes face and cashes in or hands over the case to Roman to immediately win back the title when he loses it/them.

Maybe they have Theory hold it until after Mania and do something with Cody?

The only person I can think that links these together is Edge and they’ve got to do something for when he comes back after all the “you people” promos.

that would be great and they can steal from impact, cody wins has his wife and baby up in the ring. then theory comes out like mose did and take codys moment away from him.

My thinking is Edge as well.

The only thing I couldn’t place was the crucifix. The Christian imagery didn’t seem to fit.

[slik]

It fits with his Judgment Day imagery of fallen angels

[DAMN iNATOR]

Could see Bayley vs Liv at SummerSlam if Bayley is due back soon

I mean, if she is due back by or before SummerSlam, I could see her possibly resuming her feud with Bianca Belair, since she’s officially considered a free agent at the moment.

[rockman725]

My thoughts after seeing MITB:

Cena challenges Theory for the briefcase at Summerslam. Cena wins the briefcase and uses it to challenge Roman at Wrestlemania. Roman agrees only if Cena puts his career on the line. Roman beats Cena at mania retiring him for good and gets on the mic saying there is no one left to conquer, then all of a sudden...."if you smell...." hits and Rock comes out for the appearance to end WM 39 & set the Roman/Rock match for WM 40.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Thanks for yr thoughts

Nah man, the Christian imagery represents…Christian :lol:

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think Drew is going to get the belts in Wales. But to get them back onto Roman for Mania, Theory is going to add himself to a rematch between Drew and Roman, possibly around the Rumble time. Theory is the guy who gets pinned, Cody wins the Rumble — Roman vs. Cody and Drew vs. Theory at Mania.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cena beats Theory at SummerSlam. I think he will be too busy for Mania. Theory’s story is going to be that no one really buys him as the top guy because Vince hands him everything. So his eventual cash-in will be a defiant “I’m going to do this right, damn it.”

Or he’ll just cash in on Cody on a random episode of Raw. Whatever.

[Mr. Nerfect]

My idea for Liv Morgan at SummerSlam:

She’s got something left to prove as champion. Ronda takes some time off. Liv Morgan vs. Natalya vs. Shayna vs. Raquel vs. Shotzi vs. TBA. We know that it’s going to be a six-pack proving ground, but the last person is a mystery. We’re led to believe it might be Ronda, but it’s Bayley cosplaying as Ronda. Liv Morgan actually catches her with a school boy to beat Bayley like Ronda. It does lead to Bayley winning the belt and probably going against Ronda at some point.

I’m a big Drew fan but I don’t want him to be the guy that beats Roman, at least not this version of Drew. Doing the switch now only to put the belts back on Roman ready for a match with Cody makes everything seem smaller.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Best thing I came up with was Goldberg (w/ The Miz) vs. Logan Paul. Best thing wrestling has seen for years sort of stuff.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m a big Drew fan but I don’t want him to be the guy that beats Roman, at least not this version of Drew. Doing the switch now only to put the belts back on Roman ready for a match with Cody makes everything seem smaller.

Don’t disagree, but with him confirmed for the match, I think they’ve locked themselves in. I can’t see them serving up a UK guy for Roman to behead at the show.

I can see Drew bringing in Tyson Fury to watch his back, so they can try and glom a bit of attention for that. The win itself might feel special. I’m not super-stoked on Drew with the belts again either, but I think it will be harder and harder to care about Drew if he falls in the UK.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If they can get The Rock, and I don’t think he’ll be able to do it, then Roman vs. Rock away from the belts thrills me more than them for the titles. I feel like the drama is kind of sucked out if Roman has the gear. I could actually get into the idea of Rock winning if it’s for the personal stakes.

In that case, Drew doesn’t have to lose the belts back to Roman. Cody could win the Rumble and go against Drew with Theory playing spoiler and adding himself to the match. Or you could do a bit angle on a FOX special after the SuperBowl with a 100 million lead-in. Rock and Roman sign their contract for Mania and Cody and Drew face two heels or something. In the course of the match, Theory wins the belts and is defending champ heading into Mania.

I would be done for Liv vs. Charlotte.

I had this idea that if they did Rock/Roman with the belts and wanted Rock to win, he’d come out afterwards and as the “People’s Champion” he’d “give the belts back to the people” aka relinquish them.

Not hugely sold on my own idea because it sort of shits on the titles.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would be done for Liv vs. Charlotte.

I could see that. I’d maybe do that later down the line. My Mania card had Charlotte & Io Shirai against Bayley & Asuka, but if you swapped Bayley in for the Becky slot against Ronda, you could do Becky & Io against Charlotte & Asuka or Becky & Asuka finding that respect for one another again and forming a team.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not hugely sold on my own idea because it sort of shits on the titles.

I had that idea too. It’s probably my favourite way to split the belts. I get what you’re saying about it, but as a “reset” there’s something chaotic about the idea that doesn’t make me hate it as much as I should for some reason. I could get down with Rock “blessing the houses” that are Raw and SmackDown.

You could hypothetically do some really interesting stuff coming out of it too. You could do a tournament on one side and maybe some big gimmick match on the other. If they got their heads clear on it, they could do a round robin style thing on one side.

I’m generally a proponent of one World Title, but if they wanted to go back to two, that’s how I would do it.

[XL]

That’s where you can have Theory cash in and walk away with the belt(s) after doing absolutely nothing. :lol:

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, I wouldn’t hate it if they did a one night tournament on Raw and then at the end Theory cashed in to win.
