WWE Money In The Bank: 10 Things We Learned

1. WWE Defied Recent History With Kevin Owens Heel Antics

Extending his hand in respect to the newcomer on the main roster, John Cena showed traits typical of his character after beating Kevin Owens at Money In The Bank. Seemingly eager to express how impressed he had been by his peer, Cena's goody-two-shoes act was accepted at first by the previously-brash Owens, but that wouldn't last long. Suckering his hated rival in, Owens planted a boot square into his gut, before hitting a pretty devastating-looking slam onto the ring apron. Laughing at what he had just done as Cena was helped to the back by referees and other WWE staff, Kevin Owens came across as a super-heel when the end show graphic flashed up on-screen. For years now, WWE's creative team have extended to making pretty much every heel - bar Brock Lesnar - an utter coward. It has felt stale for a while, so it was refreshing that Owens was able to break free from that monotony. By sticking it to Cena after shaking his hand, Owens looked like a bad-ass. The worst thing the company could do now would be to renege on those actions, because they go against the grain so perfectly. What other things did you take from WWE's Money In The Bank?
