Who Won The Final Spot In WWE Women's Money In The Bank Match?
Legendary wrestler competes in first singles TV match in 12 years en route to earning slot.
Trish Stratus is your final entrant into the women's Money in the Bank ladder match, defeating Raquel Rodriguez -- via DQ -- on Raw Monday night to earn the last spot.
Stratus made a bit of history by even competing in the match, as it was her first TV (non-PPV) singles match in more than 12 years. Her last singles bout was a 2011 loss in a no-DQ match to Vickie Guerrero.
Despite having Zoey Stark at ringside, it wasn't Trish's understudy who caused the disqualification; it was Becky Lynch. Stratus hung in there against the powerhouse Rodriguez, but late interference from Stark drew Lynch out, who attacked Zoey at ringside. Trish went out to attack Becky, who slung Stratus into the barricade, drawing the DQ.
Almost immediately, Becky looked stunned at what she had done, while Raquel was flabbergasted, telling The Man afterward that she had the match in hand. Despite Rodriguez's frustration, nothing came of this, with Lynch saying she was trying to help by neutralizing Stark.
Whether that leads to something down the line between the two remains to be seen, but this was yet another attempt from WWE to have their cake and eat it too, booking Raquel to lose a match but desperately trying to protect her. Sooner or later, that's going to have diminishing returns.
With Stratus' entry into the MITB match, the field is now set, as she joins Lynch, Stark, Bayley, Iyo Sky and Zelina Vega. Interestingly, as Lynch noted, she has four enemies in this match with two-thirds of Damage CTRL being part of the bout.
