10 Reasons Money In The Bank Was WWE's Best Show Of The Year

It's sadly baffling how often WWE seemingly neglects setting up future stories outside of the upper tier given the company's long history. It's no wonder fans have been tuning in and out of live Raw broadcasts considering the lack of attention paid to the undercard.

You'd think the powers that be would have understood that the recipe for success starts from the ground up before now. Nevertheless, Money in the Bank offered a fresh take on booking with all eight scheduled matches setting up future stories.

Maybe WWE's creative team is striving to create as many intriguing characters and stories ahead of next month's brand split, or has potentially taken a page out of NXT's book.

Either way, this is the direction WWE creative must continue in the future. In many ways, it's the blueprint for long-term success.
