Author’s POV, Running Commentary & Thoughts:
Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
- Starting with this, eh? Maybe they want to have a failed cash-in tonight to just get one of the briefcases out of the way like they normally do with the women.
- Or maybe they just wanted to start with Butch coming out for a pop.
- Biiiig support for LA Knight tonight. “The people’s choice” as Michael Cole calls him.
- Everyone gangs up on Logan Paul to start. This makes me think he’s going to win even more.
- Butch with a cricket bat as a weapon. Drink every time there’s a British trope tonight and play that game.
- Logan Paul convinces Damian Priest to work with him to set up two tables side by side. Place your bets. Who is going through it?
- Niiiiice dive from Ricochet through the ladder to people on the outside.
- Ricochet continues flying around. LA Knight suplexes Priest off the ladder. “Bodies are everywhere” says Cole.
- Butch moonsaults off the ladder to everyone in a pile on the outside. Very smooth.
- Escobar pulls off a hurricanrana from one ladder to Knight off the other.
- Both Ricochet and Paul do the “jump onto the ladder” spot.
- Daaamn. Knight pushes them both off, they stumble on the ropes, then Ricochet flips them backward into the two tables. That was very close to being a mess.
- Priest throws Butch down, who doesn’t fall through the ladder like what was probably planned.
- Knight is taking everyone out. Crowd’s primed.
- Priest went for a Broken Arrow, throwing Knight off the top of the ladder.
- Priest wins to a chorus of boos.
Undisputed Women’s Tag Team Championship Match: Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
- Should I already type out that the champions retained before they’re even in the ring? I mean, we all know that’s happening.
- Shayna’s moving so slowly. Noticeably not on her usual game tonight.
- Wait…they’re ALREADY splitting Shayna and Ronda? After not having any issues?? They just basically said “Yeah screw it, we don’t want to wait to set up this feud. Let’s give them the belts so that they can start to feud with each other.” I would imagine this is a Vince call since that’s more of his treatment of the tag team division, but then again, Triple H’s track record with the NXT women’s tag team division was a mess, too. Yeeeeesh.
- Well, we have new/same/old tag team champions with Morgan and Rodriguez again. Baffling.
Intercontinental Championship Match: Gunther (c) vs. Matt Riddle
- Well, at this point, I got the Logan Paul and Rousey/Baszler “fairly certain they’re going to win” predictions wrong. Does this mean Gunther drops the belt since I thought he was guaranteed to retain?
- Not as hard-hitting as I expected it to be. I was looking forward to this, but this is pretty underwhelming so far. Not bad, just not as good as I had hoped.
- Gunther wins with a submission. Nice to see him expanding his repertoire.
- Oh hey, Drew McIntyre is back! He takes out Gunther with a Glasgow Kiss and a Claymore. I guess we’re getting those two at SummerSlam.
Cody Rhodes vs. Dominik Mysterio
- Dom has on an ammo bandolier. I love this stupid gimmick.
- Rhea Ripley is ringside to help interfere. Since we haven’t had the women’s MITB ladder match yet, no threat of a cash-in.
- How long before Brock Lesnar interferes and attacks Cody Rhodes?
- We’ve got a chant going of “Cody Rhodes” set to Boney M’s Daddy Cool.
- You can’t convince me this is a better alternative to Cody being champion.
- Alabama Slam. Anyone else remember those days of Cody teaming with Bob Holly?
- Cody wins. Straight up. No appearance from Lesnar, surprisingly.
Oh, but here comes John Cena after a commercial break!
He cuts a promo about how it’s good to be back with a premium live event for the first time in London in 20 years and buries the “decision makers” for waiting so long. Cena says this crowd is underappreciated and he’s here to let the world know that. They erupt with a “thank you Cena” chant. He’s not here for a match, but to give them a chance to let people know what WrestleMania would sound like in London.
Out comes Grayson Waller to interrupt. “WrestleMania in England? You gotta be kidding me, lad!” He pitches Cena being his guest on The Grayson Waller Effect at WrestleMania Australia. Cena declines. Waller hits him from behind. Cena gets him up for an Attitude Adjustment a moment later. This was a rather long segment for what amounted to “Hey, Cena’s here, and let’s pander to the audience.” Watch it mean more than half the matches on this show, though. Is this just WWE’s attempt to undercut the AEW All In success and try to get fans thinking they’re getting Mania to offset any criticism, even if they might not necessarily plan on that being the case? IE, detour any “screw WWE for not bringing a bigger show here” and turn that into “well, maybe we WILL get WrestleMania, so I’m not as mad”? Hm…
Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
- We have five world titles (and 6 belts) between 4 champions and only 1 of them is being defended tonight. And only 1 of the 2 midcard titles on top of that. So weird.
- Bayley representing The Judgment Day??
- No chance this exceeds the previous match. Prove me wrong with more than just one of Iyo’s traditional moonsaults.
- Time for the “Heeeeey Bayley. Oooh. Aaaah. I wanna knoooow if you’ll be my girl.” song.
- Yeah…this match is kind of sloppy. Sadly, it’s as expected. I mean, Trish isn’t Ricochet and shouldn’t try to be.
- Now Iyo, of course, always hits a good moonsault. That’s her trademark. Pete Dunne arguably had an equally if not more impressive one, but thumbs up regardless.
- That was supposed to be a Stratusfaction on the ladder to Bayley?
- Stark gets some handcuffs and links Becky’s left hand, but can’t lock her to the ring post.
- Lots of weak moments like Becky barely picking Zoey up to throw her into the ladder and all.
- At least there’s a Code Red from Zelina to Zoey off the ladder into another one. That’s the best spot so far in this match bar none.
- Iyo’s on the climb, but Bayley pushes the ladder down to knock her off.
- Becky uses the other handcuff in Bayley’s mouth to take her off the ladder. Odd, but at least a little different.
- Iyo cuffs Becky and Bayley together on the ladder and climbs over them to win.
- Wow, I hope WWE made a lot of money for that Bud Light plug right at the win. Prime spot for that commercial. They’re milking out every dime they can get. (Don’t get me started on how annoying it is that cable has commercials and pay-per-view has commercials and the paid ad-free version of pay-per-view also has commercials and then, this just gets tossed in there like that, too.)
World Heavyweight Championship Match: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Finn Balor
- The most interesting outcome they could possibly do here—but, mind you, not one that I think is going to happen, nor what I think SHOULD happen—would be Balor winning and Priest immediately cashing in, so that both Balor’s world title reigns didn’t last a full day. That’d be such a middle finger.
- For the record, I just assume we’re getting Rollins retaining and at most, Priest teases cashing in or fails due to some miscommunication with Balor. I don’t think Priest would successfully cash in on Rollins OR Balor.
- The tape Rollins has on his left side looks like clipart of a picket fence. Just a random observation.
- No point has popped up yet to make me think the title is in jeopardy for Balor to win it. Solid back and forth action, but nothing memorable.
- Priest is out by ringside. He isn’t initiating his cash-in quite yet, though.
- Priest takes a seat after teasing.
- Balor hits a few Coup de Grace on the outside, but when he goes for one in the ring off the top rope (his usual finisher), Priest stands up and Balor gets distracted. He misses the attempt. Rollins follows that up with a stomp for the win.
- No cash-in from Priest coming, it seems. He and Balor are arguing.
Kayla Braxton’s in a press box to interview Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. They basically just say they’re excited for the main event.
Bloodline Civil War: Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa vs. The Usos
- Such drama. Much wow.
- “If you hate Roman, stand up.” Roman’s response is to say England is the worst place and they’re all a bunch of idiots.
- Not too many specifics to talk about here. This is mostly just a regular tag team match.
- But hey, we got The Usos doing a double spear to Roman. That’s something.
- “Could we be in the final stages of the Civil War?” – Have you looked around the political landscape these days?
- Jimmy holds on from passing out to the guillotine choke.
- Of course we get a ref bump. It has to happen in every Reigns match.
- The Usos hit the 1D and again, no pinfall on Roman. I’d love to see them tell another story sometime after 3+ years.
- Naturally, the tide turns. But The Usos aren’t down and out just yet.
- Ref is back around. Sikoa clears off the commentary table. Jimmy moves out of the way and Solo crashes through the table on his own (or, as one would say, solo).
- Roman hits a Superman Punch and a spear, and Jey Uso kicks out, surprisingly. Oh, he did it via a low blow that the referee didn’t see. That’s a nice touch.
- Usos blast Roman with some double superkicks. Jey goes up top. Splash. He pins Roman for the win. That explains why they made a point at the start of this to remind everyone the last time Reigns hadn’t been pinned since December 2019.
