10 WWE Money In The Bank 2020 Impulse Reactions

10. Jeff Hardy Vs. Cesaro

The commentary was big on "lasting impressions" and "final runs" as Jeff Hardy and Cesaro kept it timely and tight in a weird Kickoff opener.

'The Swiss Superman' performed similar duties for WrestleMania, and continues to suit the empty Performance Center even if his half-a*sed current push will probably be his only reward if and when the crowds are allowed back in buildings.

There was more to this pairing than WWE seemed keen to talk about, too. Hardy's recent return angle on SmackDown has centred around an eventual feud with Cesaro's former partner Sheamus, but the 'Celtic Warrior' was kept out of the narrative here in place of endlessly focusing on about Hardy's redemption. This itself reduced Cesaro to playing speedbump for the 'Charismatic Enigma' despite a couple of particularly gritty moments that saw King Corbin's new mate scrape off Hardy's face paint with an elbow and counter the railrunner spot with a catch-and-despatch.

It went too long for the lack of intriguing story, too. Far from a dynamic start to Hardy's last stand, this overextended sh*tkicking made it feel as though he'd never been away.
