10 Modern WWE PPV Matches Allocated Far Too Much Time
2. Seth Rollins Vs. Roman Reigns - Money In The Bank 2016
Match length: 25:59
Why it was too long: 'Far too much' may itself be far too much of an exaggeration, but this is a match which would have greatly benefitted from a slight reduction in match length - even a maximum of five minutes.
In short, both men did a little too much. While the last five minutes were pulsating - the spear-into-the-pedigree spot was absolutely jaw-dropping in concept and execution - there were way too many near-falls beforehand. As a result, credibility was stretched.
Reigns had already kicked out of so much by this point that the raised shoulder here was tempered slightly by a bit of anti-SuperReigns sentiment. It was a shame, too - that could have been a near fall for the ages, up there with the best the streak had to offer in its golden period.
Like many WWE main event matches, it was crammed with too much in the way of content. If they'd employed the less is more approach, that near fall would have been the moment it deserved to be. It will likely be remembered more for its finish and aftermath alone as a result.
