This guy may never understand the fury at Brock Lesnar's surprise Money In The Bank briefcase win this past May. Sure, he showed up to do pretty much nothing other than grab the case after seven other men had put their bodies through hell, but surely everyone can understand why. He's a heel, and the entitled part-timer gimmick is kinda' his thing.

So, there's no issue with the finish here, and it's why the MITB main event wins the day as WWE's best pay-per-view match of the year so far. Anyone claiming the hard work others put in should be ignored because of a finish some hated should realise one thing: it was still one of the best bouts of 2019, and the action bell-to-bell rocked.

Finn Bálor's bouncing bump, the destruction of Drew McIntyre, Ricochet going through one of the ladders and more. There's so much more to take from this match than just 'Oh, Brock Lesnar won and I hate it'. In retrospect, is that result really as awful as it was made out to be?

Get this watched. If you genuinely can't stomach Brock's smiling face, skip that part.
