Going in, yours truly was sure that Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan or Asuka (as a backup option) would haul down the women's Money In The Bank briefcase. Last week, before WWE announced Tamina, he was also convinced that Sasha Banks would return and take the final spot in the match.

Uh uh. It was Nikki A.S.H, and a lot of folks are p*ssed about it.

This fan isn't one of them. Why? Well, for starters, it's nice to see somebody create their own character and receive WWE's backing. Secondly, it's a shocking outcome that few seriously saw coming. Come on, who had a tenner on Nikki coming away with the case? Be honest.

Getting predictions wrong can be fun, y'know. Of course, it could all go to sh*t if WWE decides that Bliss should possess Nikki and turn her into a super-villain, but that hasn't happened...yet. Nah, the women's MITB match was stacked with cool spots and had an unpredictable conclusion.
