10 Reasons Why Money In The Bank Was WWE’s Best PPV Of 2021
9. Even The Kickoff Felt Must-See
WWE's pay-per-view Kickoff shows can be akin to binge-watching box office preview channels and expecting top notch entertainment. Unless you find card rundowns or endless match preview vids thrilling, then they're typically not much of a laugh.
Except this one.
The Usos vs. Rey and Dominik Mysterio made the usual hour-long slog of these Kickoffs feel like must-see stuff. Put it this way: Hell In A Cell's pre-show had Natalya beating Mandy Rose in a lifeless 10-minute TV match, and WrestleMania Backlash before that put on a seven-minute Sheamus vs. Ricochet bout that nobody remembers.
By comparison, The Usos winning those SmackDown Tag Titles was mega. Nothing ever seems to happen on the Kickoffs, so this was very, very welcome and conjured up images of the old marketing ploy, "Anything Can Happen In The World Wrestling Federation".
WWE need to do stuff like this more often.
