WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE GREATEST MONEY IN THE BANK OF ALL T......oh.

WE HAVE TWO WRESTLEMANIA CALIBER MA......oh.

Money In The Bank, theres only ONE WORD, TO DESCRIBE YOU AND IM GONNA SPELL! IT! OUT! FOR YA.

U! N! D! E! R! W! H! E! L! M! I! N! G!

UUUUUUUUNDERWHELMING.

CAN I JUST SAY I GOT ALMOST ALL THE PREDICTIONS RIGHT?! THATS RIGHT FAM. 5 and 1/2 over 6

So without further ado, MITB 2016 (minus the pre show, because i had no predictions for those)

FATAL 4 WAY TAG TEAM MATCH; WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS

It was a fun match, dont take that away from anyone but there seemed to be a lack of communication between the teams. Like there were some botches, Luke Gallows forgot how to wrestle and didnt know what to do what the hell to do with Kofi because Cass missed his cue, the ending was very weird but I WAS FUCKIN RIGHT NEW DAY RETAINED. I do kinda wish I wouldve been wrong just so we could see the title change hands but each team has time so I wasn't really mad. Its risky doing loaded tag matches and aside the botches it was still good and I for the most part enjoyed it.

Rate: 8/10

BARON CORBIN VS. DOLPH ZIGGLER

*sigh* When is this fued gonna be done im bored. It was a good match I guess I'll give it to them but its just so repetitive and dry now. I was bored if im being honest and I know it has to suck for Dolph because we all know he deserves better. But it was a good decision to put him over at least.

Rate: 7/10

CHARLOTTE AND DANA BROOKE VS. HART AND FIRE; WOMENS TAG MATCH

*sigh* For the third ppv in a row the Women's matches have been nothing but a joke. The match was sloppy, it wasn't a long match but ONCE AGAIN I GOT ANOTHER PREDICTION RIGHT

What i did not see coming and perhaps saved the match was NATTIE TURNING FUCKIN HEEL. YES. A HEEL NATTIE IS A NATTIE WE NEED.

Natalya hasnt had a true heel run since her time being paired up with Beth Phoenix. When she literally came out the cuts and attacked Becky my heart did a happy dance. As much as I love Becky, mama lovvvvesss some good heel action.

Long term this is also good too because Sasha is back and coming to snatch the title from Charlotte, it gives another opening for an additional fued in the division. Im interested to see how its going to play out though.

Rate: 6/10

APOLLO CREWS VS. SHEAMUS

This match was also boring to me but I love that Apollo got his first ppv match. He is a phenomenal athlete and he got to really show it. But other than that Sheamus is still Sheamus and I was honestly waiting for the match to be over.

Rate: 6.5/10

JOHN CENA VS. AJ STYLES

THIS WAS THE MATCH I DESPERATELY WANTED TO SEE AND I WAS SATISFIED. EXTREMELY SATISFIED.

First off, the build up to the match was great. Second of all, CENA USING MOVES OTHER THAN THE FIVE MOVES OF DOOM?! WHAT?!?!

He has seemed to expand his arsenal which is great, long overdue but great. The match was great. The crowd was hot. This fued is great. I marked the fuck out for this match and it was definitely a rival for match of the night.

Sidenote: i KNOW you guys heard Cena's loud ass calling the next move every other minute, you mine as well give him a mic

People can say whatever they want about the ending, but I liked the idea that it was a 'tainted' win. I HAD THIS PREDICTION RIGHT DOWN TO THE T. But anyways yeah it works because no matter how undeniable the Styles chants were, he was still very much the heel. It gives something to work out on for the next few paperviews and I have no problem with it at all.

MONEY IN THE BANK CONTRACT LADDER MATCH

I REALLY LIKED THIS MATCH I REALLY REALLY ENJOYED THIS MATCH. Cesaro was on fire during this match and there were so many great spots. Now I'm not gonna put it over the match at Extreme Rules or Mania, but this was definitely a favorite and I GOT ANOTHER PREDICTION RIGHT. DEAN WON THE BREIFCASE AND I WAS PEEING MY FUCKIN PANTS YES

Rate: 9.5/10

TITUS O'NEAL VS. RUSEV; US TITLE

This match wasnt much of anything to me because I knew Titus was going to lose (another prediction right, wazzuuup) so I didnt pay it any mind but the END of the match was the prime example of 5 star heel work. Rusev mocking Titus's kids after he lost, ON FATHERS DAY, was just dirty and juicy and mama liked it. Mama liked it a lot. Rusev is such a great heel.

Rate: 7/10

ROMAN REIGNS VS. SETH ROLLINS; WHW CHAMPIONSHIP

This match was really good. I liked how the heel/face dynamics were suddenly switched. People will argue that Roman being the dominate force during the first half of the match was a bad thing and WWE's way of making him look strong but it was fitting because he was wrestling for the most part heel. And then of course Rollins is just brilliant and the knee injury didnt knock his in ring skills at all. Roman wrestling Rollins made his performance improve in my opinion, more notably when he payed homage to Razor Ramon (Ramon---> Roman HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

AND THEN SETH DID THE IMPOSSIBLE AND WON. NOT ONLY WON BUT WON FUCKIN CLEAN TO REIGNS. REIGNS. LIKE WTF

AND THE MOMENT WE WERE ALL WAITING FOR DEAN FREAKING CASHED IN HIS CONTRACT IN A RECORD TIME AND FINALLY FREAKIN WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND YALL. YALL THE LUNATIC IN ME CAME OUT AND WENT BATSHIT I WAS SO HAPPY

TO SEE HOW FAR DEAN HAS COME EVER SINCE THE SHIELD WENT IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PATHS, FROM HIM JOBBING AND LOSING FEUDS AND THE TITLE BEING JUST INCHES AWAY FROM HIM LAST YEAR ONLY TO SLIP OUT OF HIS HANDS AND WATCHING HIS FORMER BROTHERS RISE IT WAELS SO SATISFYING SEEING HIM HOLD THE BELT IT FELT SO GOOD

AND ALL THREE SHIELD HELD THE CHAMPIONSHIP THAT NIGHT. ISNT THAT INSANE

A HELL of a way to close MITB. Good job WWE.

OVERALL

This paperview wasnt terrible, but I noticed throughout the night timing and botches were an issue. But the higher card matches (aside Titus vs. Rusev) were ultimately the backbone and pulling force of the paperview.

But Michael Cole: NO. NO NO NO THIS WAS NOT THE BEST MITB PAPERVIEW OF ALL TIME. JUST STOP. SOMEONE FIRE COLE PLEASE

Alright so this was my MITB review! Have any opinions? Let me know in the comments!!

Until the Brand Split,
