10 Impulse Reactions Following WWE Money In The Bank 2017

4. Light And Shade

With the contest predicated almost entirely on the challenger not really being fit to compete for the title in the first place, the possibility always existed that the angle may become a self-fulfilling prophecy as Lana wrestled her first ever WWE singles match for the SmackDown Live! Women's Title against Champion Naomi.

Sadly for the Ravishing Russian, not only has the baseline standard for the division shot through the roof in the past two years, but fans will only stick with a babyface character if they can discernibly deliver in the ring. Carmella experienced this in her first few weeks on the blue brand, and Lana's remarkable pops from her debut appearances have rapidly faded since audiences were exposed to her physical limitations.

Through an inability between the champion and challenger to work a super-technical contest, Lana had to use some preposterous non-holds in an effort to look like she was dismantling Naomi's leg for a bit until the 'Princess of Staten Island' made her Money In The Bank distraction appearance to threaten a cash-in.

And that was another low. Rendered physically unable to move from Carmella's ringside posturing, Lana sacrificed her advantage and got locked in submission hold by Namoi for the quick win. Nobody out there felt any 'glow' at all.
