WWE Money In The Bank 2017: 8 Things WWE Got Right
Who knew a Baron Corbin win would set up Styles vs. Nakamura?
The first ever Women's Money In The Bank match didn't end on a good note; having James Ellsworth be the one to haul down the briefcase for Carmella definitely hurt the historic feel WWE were trying to present. Flat out, that ending sucked, but it wasn't all grim news from the pay-per-view.
It's safe to say that the last few matches on the card saved Money In The Bank from disaster, and yet WWE actually got more right than they did wrong on Sunday night. Those booking the show gave some protection to long-term plans and clearly put a lot of thought into who won and who lost.
Twitter might be blowing up with hate for both Ladder Matches, but focus on the positives for a moment. Everyone whining about Baron Corbin should just remember that WWE also set the scene for a literal dream match in that main event...
8. Adding Another Match To The Card
Even with the addition of The Hype Bros vs. The Colons on the Kickoff show, Money In The Bank's card looked a bit thin before bell time on Sunday. The pay-per-view needed another bout, and prayers were answered when Breezango hammered the hapless duo of Konnor and Viktor right before the main event.
Forget that The Ascension's woes continue for a second, because this was a supershow win for Tyler Breeze and Fandango. Those boys are gaining some serious momentum as a light-hearted babyface tag-team, and that's much better than the purgatory they were suffering through mere months ago.
On a card pretty much dominated by heels, it was the correct decision to have Breezango go over here. Maybe it would've been nice to see The Ascension look a little more competitive, but the face-painted goons are basically jobbers at this point and have been for a long time.
