WWE.comFor years, the "big four" of WWE pay-per-views has always been WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series. But many would argue that Money In The Bank has long since replaced Survivor Series in that rotation. It's become a consistently entertaining show with a big time feel that has left some memorable impressions on viewers. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case with the 2014 installment. With the exception of the tag title match and somewhat the Paige/Naomi bout, the entire undercard was a disappointment. Adam Rose vs. Damien Sandow's Embarrassment Of The Week is barely worthy of a house show, let alone a major ppv. Rusev had already squashed Big E. before their match at this show, so why did we need to see it again? Because Big E. wrapped himself in red, white and blue? RybAxel vs. The Dust Brothers was just a match and the Summer Rae/Layla showdown was atrocious. With all that being the case, what WWE needed was two excellent ladder matches to save this show. What they got was one, and one of the biggest main event letdowns we've seen in quite some time. Part of the issue is that WWE is likely unwilling to have their top guys take the same kind of risks the guys in the briefcase match could, preferring to have them work a much safer style. There's nothing wrong with that mentality, but when the six performers in the first contest go out and kill it like they did, it's hard to have the main eventers come in and punch-kick-punch-kick for the entire bout. A match featuring eight men should never feel plodding, yet that's exactly what this was: a slow-moving, slogging affair that didn't elevate one single person involved. The long-awaited Roman Reigns vs. John Cena face-off tried to recapture the magic of Hulk Hogan/Ultimate Warrior from the Royal Rumble but instead we got...crickets. This isn't a knock on the men involved at all, as this falls solely on the shoulder of the creative team behind the booking of the match. Since the direction for the next few months seems obvious, with Brock taking the title at SummerSlam, Cena winning was the logical choice, but that didn't stop it from feeling incredibly redundant and dissatisfying, Fans expected much more from Money In The Bank 2014. There were bright spots, but not enough to give the show a positive rating.
