10 2020 Moments WWE Must NEVER Do Again
6. Money In The Bank
Time to retire a gimmick, folks.
2020 proved that Money In The Bank is a flagging concept in WWE circles. The magic Chris Jericho drummed up in 2005 has had its 15 years in the sun, and it's maybe time to put MITB in storage for a while - would anyone really miss it after the Otis disaster and that bloody lawsuit drivel involving The Miz and John Morrison?
God, what a pile of rubbish that was. WWE blatantly lost faith in Otis' abilities as a headliner, and so they replaced him by somebody who had been working naff comedy for 99.9% of the year. Worse, they put fans through prolonged agony by running miserable segment after sorry segment and pretending it was pulsating, must-see telly.
Yes, the simultaneous excitement of dual male and female matches at WWE HQ was an interesting experiment, but it felt like a watershed moment. Put it this way, neither Asuka nor Otis actually cashed in their case to win a belt.
MITB is pretty useless now, and it has to go.
